Ten miles of ancient road, warm breeze blowing, fragrant grass and blue sky, if there are literati and ink writers in this outing, I am afraid that there will be three points of drunkenness when you take a walk.

Lao Zhangtou is a rough man, in his opinion, the spring breeze is not as good as a piece of bacon.

Driving on this ancient road today, as soon as the warm wind blew, Lao Zhangtou's drunkenness was more than three points, at least five or six points, and he was a little drowsy, because in addition to the willow wind that was not cold, there was also a jar of wine in his arms.

The wine is 30 years of "champion red", and the largest restaurant in Qingyang Mansion, "Xianyun Building", only produces 300 jars every year.

Lao Zhangtou is the second time in his life to drink this kind of wine, the last time was twenty years ago, when the little young master in the house was born, the house from the Xianyun Building to buy a good banquet on the three hundred tables, he was fortunate to share such a jar of wine with ten people, the next three months, he drank any wine felt like drinking water.

Today, when the sky was still bright, Lao Zhangtou was dragged out of the warm and quilted bed, and then he saw this jar of wine, the man told him, now set off to take the young lady to a trip to the Nine Immortals Temple, this jar of wine is his, the only requirement is to shut up and don't speak, if you can't do it, go back to sleep.

Of course, Lao Zhangtou would not go back to sleep, so he was on this ancient road now.

This road is familiar to Lao Zhangtou, in the past he always had to walk seven or eight times a month, but since the last time the master's most beloved aunt Snow Goose, really like a wild goose silently flying away, he has never walked again.

The snow goose was redeemed by the old man from Tianxiang Pavilion at a great price, and it is said that he has a special way to men, Lao Zhangtou is more than sixty years old this year, but every time he sees the snow goose, he will feel that he is only sixteen years old.

Since the disappearance of the snow goose, the lord has lost his temper in the mansion a few times, but what the lord doesn't know is that the snow goose disappeared only after he went to the Nine Immortals Temple in his car, but no one in the house knows about this matter except for him and Miss, Miss is happy that the snow goose disappears, and Lao Zhangtou has to mix a bowl of rice to eat, so the lord will never know about this matter.

The car was familiar with the road, driving into the Nine Immortals Temple, the old head was napping with the wine jar, and the little Taoist boy led the young lady to the courtyard, followed by a girl in Tsing Yi.

Before coming to the quiet room, Xiaodao Tong Jiuru knocked lightly on the door and said, "Master, Miss Qing'e is here." ”

The cleaner in the house sighed softly, as if he was a little surprised, pushed open the door and smiled: "Why is Miss Qing'e free to come to me today?"

Qing'e pointed to Xiao Wan beside her, bowed slightly, and said, "I came here to meet my senior brother because someone asked me to bring this girl here for refuge." ”

Qingji Daoren's face was slightly surprised, he glanced at Xiao Wan, and asked softly, "I don't know what the girl is called, which friend asked you to come to me." ”

Xiao Wan said a little shyly: "The little woman's surname is Cui, and her single name is a Wan character, just call me Xiao Wan by the Taoist Chief, it was Brother Eleven who asked me to come to the Taoist Chief." ”

Qingji Daoist asked softly, "But I don't know this friend's surname?"

Xiao Wan was about to open her mouth, and a voice suddenly came from above the eaves, "The Tao has been absent for a long time, so I will cut it first and then play it, and bring Miss Xiaowan here to take shelter for a few days, without discussing it in advance, and I hope that the Taoist Haihan will be the Taoist." ”

Before the words fell, a person in the room flew into the courtyard, like a bird gliding, but there was no sound, this person was Bai Cheng.

The people on the spot, Qingji Daoist already knew that he was a peerless student, and Miss Qing'e was not familiar with him, so the two were not surprised, only Xiaowan had been with him day and night for some time, although he knew that he was not an ordinary businessman, but he also thought that he was just a weak scholar, and never expected him to be a peerless student, and he was a little daze for a while.

Qingji Daoist saw Bai Cheng coming to the courtyard and said with a smile: "Master Bai has not been seen for a long time, I don't know if this trip is smooth or not?"

Bai Cheng sighed lightly and said: "Things are complicated and far away, I came here today, one is to send Miss Xiaowan here, and the other is to ask the Taoist chief to solve my doubts." ”

Qingji Taoist stroked his palm and smiled: "The virtuous brother asks, he knows everything, and he says everything. ”

Xiao Wan on the side suddenly came back to her senses and asked, "Brother Eleven, it turns out that your surname is Bai?"

Bai Cheng looked ashamed, stared at Xiao Wan with both eyes and said: "Sister Xiao Wan, my brother didn't deliberately deceive, but there are some things to hide from people, so I have to fake my name, I hope my sister won't be angry." ”

Xiao Wan's eyes suddenly seemed to be covered with a fog, and she said softly: "Tell me my real name, and I won't be angry." ”

Bai Cheng said loudly: "In Xia Baicheng, I have seen Xiao Wan!"

Su Zhai Mo of the Nine Immortals Temple said that in Qingyang Mansion, it is also a must in the entire Cangzhou.

As soon as a few people spoke, the Qingji Daoist had already arranged for the next table of vegetarian food, although it was not as good as his own cooking, it was also a delicacy in the world.

After the banquet, Qingji Daoist sent Qing'e away, and asked Xiaodao Tong Jiuru to settle Xiaowan, and then cooked a pot of tea and invited Bai Cheng to chat in the quiet room.

Bai Cheng picked up the teacup, took a sip and praised: "It's really good tea, I don't know where it is produced?"

Qingji Taoist continued to hot water and said: "There is a kind of wild tea in Ailao Mountain with a strong aroma and mellow taste, but it has not been known to outsiders for a long time. ”

Bai Cheng lightly buttoned the coffee table and said: "In the mountains and wilderness, there are different teas, and in the rivers and lakes, there are also masters." The Taoist chief is a strange person in the rivers and lakes, and Baicheng has a few doubts today, and he hopes that the Taoist chief will explain. ”

Qingji Daoist said: "Brother Xian, please speak!"

Bai Cheng said: "A few days ago, I had already met Uncle Zhou, and he once said that the elder has a noble character and is trustworthy..."

Before he finished speaking, Qingji Daoist interjected and asked, "But you don't know who your uncle is?"

Bai Cheng said: "Hauni will guard Zhou Dingyuan. ”

Qingji Daoist said softly: "It turns out that the virtuous brother is a high-footed Flying Star Sect. ”

Bai Cheng continued: "Uncle Zhou said, it's not for nothing that the three families of Xuangui Hall, Tianlongmen, and Xiaguang Courtyard gathered in Qingyang Mansion, but they don't know why?"

Qingji Daoist sighed lightly and said: "It's not three, together with my Nine Immortal Temple, it's four. ”

"I want to hear about it. ”

"This matter has to start from three years ago, when the Yellow Heavenly Dao Law ordered the world to divide the state of the world, set up the position of the Taoist, and let the branches of the world Daomen fight, our Qingyang Mansion is divided into four branches that are the Nine Immortals Temple, the Xuangui Hall, the Tianlongmen and the Xiaguang Temple, but the Nine Immortals Temple has lived in the Chen State for a long time, so it is closer to the Chen State and the government, but the other three are from the Song Kingdom, so General Zhou is a little displeased with them. ”

"Everyone is the same sect, why do you want to fight each other?"

"The willingness of the Tao is to let everyone preach separately, and in the end it depends on the number of disciples, but once they fight, alas"

"Why are there no rumors on the rivers and lakes about this matter, and the Flying Star Gate is also a big faction in the rivers and lakes, but I don't know anything?"

"This matter has long been boiling in the world, Qingyang Mansion is guarded by General Zhou, these few families still dare not make trouble in the open, some state capitals have long been rotten, several families are entangled, fighting in broad daylight, and creating many injustices out of thin air. As for why Brother Xian didn't hear about it, dare to ask Brother Xian if he knows about the eighteen sects of the Chen State to block the river and form an alliance?"

"I know a little bit about this, but I don't know what the relationship between the two is?"

"The Danxia faction, the head of the eighteen sects of Chen State, is the branch of our Daomen, and the so-called eighteen sects will be sent out by the Danxia faction, representing the Daomen and the major sects in the rivers and lakes to sign an alliance, and assign a part of the state capital in the world to the Wulin sect, and these local Daomen will no longer set up Taoist masters, if my guess is correct, the Jianghua Mansion where the Feixingmen is stationed is one of them, so the virtuous brother is to listen to the Daomen's actions. ”

Bai Cheng shook in his heart and said: "Daomen divides the world like this, it is no different from a feudal territory, and the imperial court can tolerate it?"

Qingji Daoist said with a different color: "Don't you know that the imperial court and the Daomen are two sides of the same coin, and the monarchs of the four countries in the south of the Yangtze River are all the protectors of my Daomen!"
