Let's say that Li Yi's pillar of incense slowly ascended to the sky and extended, and the smoke and waves curled, and I don't know how long it took, and drifted into the Lingyun Cave of Mount Emei.

The surname of the cave master is Ci Zi Yuanfang, and the road name is Mr. Wujiao. Li Yi, Zixu and others had followed him to learn Taoism, and there was a friendship between teachers and students, but Li Yi was helpless at this time, and the first thing that came to mind was him.

Zuo Ci was meditating in the cave today, and suddenly saw Xinxiang coming here, pinched his fingers, and knew the details, and couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and said: "Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan are so rude! Even though the number of days has changed at this time, but Xishu has not yet fully captured the heavens, An dares to kill my people? Since you help Kong Ming, don't I help my people!"

Thinking of this, he asked the boy to invite his disciple Xu to come over.

When Xu Yuan heard this, he hurriedly came to Zuo Ci and said, "Master calls disciples, what is the law?"

Zuo Ci said: "Guan Gongming Shi Wei, now that Xishu has committed a border, Wei State can't win, so he invited Zixu, Li Yi and others to go down the mountain, not wanting to be inferior to others, and was broken by Sima Hui and others, not to mention, Guan Gongming, Zixu and others all died under the palm thunder." Your junior brother Li Yi is now a national teacher of Wei, but he thinks that he is not the opponent of Shu Jun and others, so he burns incense in the camp and asks for help. ”

Xu Yan said: "Master, even if the will of heaven is not all Wei at this time, the Han family may not be able to have the last laugh. Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan and others knew that all the Taoist friends were members of the Shizun sect, but they still took their lives, isn't this despising us and others and deliberately embarrassing the master?"

Zuo Ci said: "That's exactly the reason. If they are exposed like this, what is the use of being a teacher, even if they achieve the immortal path? Therefore, I intend to order you to go down the mountain, send a treasure and Li Yi, and tell him to act in the law, and you come with me. ”

After that, he got off the futon and led Xu Cheng into the cave.

This is where Zuo Ci placed the magic weapon, but he saw him take a brocade box from a stone platform and hand it to Xu Yuan.

Xu Yu took it, opened the box and saw that it contained a thin object, which was as sharp as a drill, but only six or seven inches long.

Zuo Ci commanded: "This treasure is called the Five Flames Soul Nail and it is the supreme treasure. But if you use a spell to sacrifice in the air, even if you are a hundred miles away, you can also pass through the top gate. After that, he took out two pages of mantra from his sleeve and said, "Disciple, do you know the "Dunjia Heavenly Book" that I studied in my early years?"

Xu Yuan nodded and said: "There are three volumes of the Book of Heaven in the Book of Dunjia, the upper volume is named 'Tian Dun', the middle volume is named 'Earth Dun', and the lower volume is called 'Ren Dun'. The sky can soar the clouds and cross the wind, fly up to the void, the earth can penetrate the mountains and stones, and the people can travel all over the world, hide the shape and transform, fly the sword and throw the knife, and take the head of the person. ”

Zuo Ci shook the two pages of mantras in his hand, floated them to Xu Yuan's hand, and said: "Yes, these two pages of mantras are the techniques of flying swords and throwing knives and taking people's heads. Li Yidao is full of practice and can practice this technique. You can take it to the Qin camp, hand it over to Li Yi, and ask him to sacrifice it across the camp, and naturally you can take Kong Ming's life.

That grandson's life is extremely expensive, I think it is the stars in the sky and the lower realm, and we can't cure him, but Kong Ming's life should have been exhausted a long time ago, and the technique of praying is only to prolong life, not immortality. If Kong Ming dies, then Xishu will die, and in this way, it can be regarded as eliminating the hatred in my heart!"

When Xu Yuan heard this, he hurriedly bid farewell to his master, walked out of Lingyun Cave with treasures and mantras, and drove to Tongguan with auspicious clouds.

Halfway through, Xu Yuan suddenly thought: "When I was calculating, I found that the Wei army had no generals, why don't you take my apprentice Deng Ai and be a pioneer with Li Yi?"

Thinking like this, he turned his head around and went to Luoyang first, and when he got there, he went straight to the Janissary Territory.

The Praetorian Guard was originally a garrison force guarding the Son of Heaven, and it was naturally heavily guarded, but now I suddenly saw a Taoist priest appear, all holding swords, for fear that this person was an assassin.

When Xu Yuan saw it, he was not annoyed, but just said to everyone: "You guys quickly invite Deng Ai to come out, just say that his master Xu Yuan is here." ”

When the guards heard this, they immediately went to one person to report that Deng Ai knew.

Deng Ai had followed Xu to learn Taoism for a few years, his martial arts were exquisite, and he had obtained many magic weapons, and he was recruited into the Praetorian Guard as soon as he got off the mountain, and he had become the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard over the years, but Deng Ai did not follow when Cao Rui personally led the army to Chang'an.

At this time, when I heard that Master was visiting, I was overjoyed and hurried out to meet him.

When the master and apprentice saw the salute, Xu Yuan didn't say much, but said: "Apprentice, go to Tongguan with me quickly and help you Uncle Li." ”

Deng Ai listened, but said with some embarrassment: "Master doesn't know, the apprentice is now valued by Lord Wei, and he is already the deputy of the Praetorian Guard, so he doesn't dare to leave his post without permission." ”

Seeing that the apprentice was loyal, Xu Yuan didn't blame him, but said: "In this case, then the teacher will take you to ask for an edict." With that, he took Deng Ai and entered the palace.

Cao Rui had already been informed by the Yellow Gate, and Cao Rui heard that Xu Fall was coming to see him, and said to the left and right: "When I was still in the Hidden Mansion, I saw Xu Fall a lot, this person studied under Zuo Ci, and he had some ghost and god skills, could it be that he was a rescuer invited by the national teacher? But he didn't go to Tongguan, what did he do here?" Then he asked the chamberlain to invite Xu Fall in.

Xu Yuan's master and apprentice first gave Cao Rui a salute, and Cao Rui asked, "I haven't seen you for a long time, where did Master Xu come from?"

Xu Yuan said: "The mountain people are here to help Brother Li Yi, and now that the generals in the Dao Brother army are withering, the mountain people want to secondment the apprentice Deng Ai to the front of the army, just because Deng Ai is serving in His Majesty's guard, so he came here to ask for an edict." ”

Cao Rui said: "Since it is to contribute to the country, how can I not let it go." After that, he called the clerk and wrote an edict to reappoint Deng Ai as the vanguard of the Western Expeditionary Army.

The master and apprentice got the edict, bid farewell to Lord Wei, and went to Tongguan.

It's just that Deng Ai is not enough to drive the clouds, so he can only use the earth to escape and walk slowly behind, and Xu Fall is the first to drive the clouds.

After a short time, he had already seen the Wei army camp, Xu Cheng fell into the clouds, walked to the door of the Wei camp, and said loudly: "The sergeant guarding the camp, report that your national teacher knows, and say that Xu Fall, a disciple of Zuo Ci Shangxian in Lingyun Cave of Emei Mountain, wants to see him!"

When the sergeant heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly rushed in to report that Li Yi knew.

Li Yi heard Xu Yuan's name, and was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly put the crown and belt out of the camp, first greeted his senior brother, and then welcomed Xu Yuan to the military tent.

After the main and secondary students sat down, Li Yi said: "Senior brother is here, there must be a teacher to teach!"

When Xu Yuan heard this, he stood up solemnly, and arched his hands in the direction of Mount Emei: "According to the teacher's decree, there is a magic weapon to give to the junior brother." After speaking, he took out the brocade box containing the Five Flames Soul Nail and held it high with both hands.

Li agreed, quickly knelt on the ground, raised his hands to take the brocade box, and bowed a few times in the direction of Mount Emei, before standing up.

Xu Cheng passed the two pages of Taoist mantras to Li Yi again, and instructed: "You can sacrifice this treasure with mana on the third watch tonight, and you can take Kong Ming's life!"
