Alienated Martial Arts

Qingfengguan.

In a quiet small building.

Two figures sat opposite each other, chatting happily.

"Qinglian Sect?"

"Deacon Wei's question has brought back memories that have been long gone."

Guanzhu Li picked up a chopstick of green vegetables, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "Thirty years ago, the Qinglian Sect became very popular. The imperial court and the sect jointly suppressed it. All the core members were wiped out, and there has been no news since."

"At that time, the old Taoist was just a disciple of Yuanyi Mountain. Unexpectedly, half a century passed by and he heard the name of Qinglian Sect again."

Wei Tao took a sip of tea and did not mention the information he had obtained through different channels. Instead, he casually found a reason.

"I have never heard of the Green Lotus Sect before. I just met a group of merchants outside Fucheng not long ago and heard relevant news from them."

"What did those merchants say?" Guanzhu Li asked.

Wei Tao thought slowly and said, "What they are talking about is that the Red Lantern Club that developed in Cangyuan City and the bandits that fled from Mozhou all seem to be related to the Green Lotus Sect."

"Red light party?"

Guanzhu Li wondered, "I have never heard of this organization, let alone that it can be related to the Green Lotus Sect."

"But there is no need to be nervous, Deacon Wei. After all, the imperial court and the sect worked hard to destroy the Qinglian Sect.

In addition to their main forum, they also uprooted the branches in various places, which will not give them the possibility of resurgence. "

Wei Tao picked up the wine glass on the side, "I just listened casually, and then casually said to the viewer, drink and drink."

Just have a feast for a while.

Under the leadership of two young Taoist priests, Wei Tao walked through corridors and halls, then passed rows of pavilions, and finally stopped in front of a courtyard surrounded by bamboo forests.

"This is the deacon's residence, called Green Bamboo Garden."

The little Taoist priest opened the courtyard door and pointed to the two-story building inside.

Wei Tao walked in slowly and looked up at this simple and elegant building.

The main door on the first floor opened, and two rows of handymen filed out with cleaning tools, saluting the two and saying hello.

The decoration style of the small building suits his taste very well. It is elegant with a hint of grandeur, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace.

He slowly walked around the hall and finally stood at the edge of a slightly dark staircase.

Go up from here to the second floor.

There are only a few bedrooms upstairs, but there is a large platform, which is a good place to rest and watch the scenery.

The little Taoist priest quickly resigned and left.

Only Wei Tao was left sitting in the courtyard, sipping the freshly brewed tea and admiring the crisp green bamboo forest outside.

After a long time, he put the tea cup on the table and said, "Come in, the tea will be cold in a while."

Uh-huh...

A figure quietly opened the courtyard door and bowed across the table.

"My subordinates have met Deacon Wei."

This is a middle-aged Taoist priest in his thirties, with a respectful attitude and a hint of intimacy.

Wei Tao nodded slightly and suddenly asked, "You avoided those people and came to see me secretly. What's the matter?"

"The subordinates did not secretly come to see the deacon, but came to ask the deacon what he needed on the order of the master."

The middle-aged Taoist priest said respectfully, "My subordinate's name is Zuo Shi. He is mainly responsible for purchasing supplies for the Taoist temple. If the deacon needs anything, he can give orders directly."

"Your position is very lucrative."

Wei Tao pointed to the stone bench opposite, "I'm tired of standing and talking. Sit down."

Zuo Shi did not move, still standing there with a bow, "The oil and water belong to the Taoist temple, and my subordinates have never had any idea about this."

Looking up, Wei Tao half-smiled, "It doesn't matter whether you have any ideas. As long as you have Guanzhu Li's trust and follow Guanzhu's instructions on everything, it should be enough."

Zuo Shi seemed unaware of the meaning of this sentence and still bowed and stood in silence.

But when he spoke again, his voice suddenly became very low.

"What Deacon Wei said is absolutely true, but his subordinates only purchased various supplies according to the instructions of the temple master.

The main job is to serve as Daozi's eyes, helping her observe the mountains, rivers, plants and trees here. "

"oh?"

Wei Tao stopped his smile and sat up straight, "I didn't expect that Qingye Daozi, besides practicing hard, also worked tirelessly and cared about the development and growth of the outer sect Taoist temple below."

After entering the door, Zuo Shi raised his head for the first time and glanced at Wei Tao.

Then he lowered his gaze and sighed in a low voice, "Master Deacon, please don't frighten your subordinates for fun. The Taoism that my subordinates are talking about is naturally the Taoism of Ni Xie."

Quietly, a well-sealed black metal box appeared on the stone table.

Zuo Shi took a step back and said, "If you don't believe it, deacon, just open this box and you will know."

Wei Tao shook his head, "Come and open it."

"I can't open it. If I use brute force to open it, the contents inside will be damaged."

Zuo Shi was silent for a moment, "Daozi said, the secret key is on the deacon's Tao tablet."

Wei Tao took out the Taoist sign and observed it carefully. Then he looked at the cloud patterns on the surface of the box, and he suddenly understood.

After a few breaths.

There was a soft snap.

The lid pops up, revealing its contents.

He slowly exhaled a breath and took out a piece of paper with Juan Xiu's handwriting from under the pile of pills.

Comparing it with the markings of Gui Yuan Gong, we can confirm that the signature on the paper was written by Ni Hao himself.

After reading it quickly, he closed the lid again and asked doubtfully, "Isn't she banned from seeing people? Why can she still pass on things and messages?"

Zuo Shi thought for a moment and slowly shook his head, "I don't know, but I am meeting with Grandma Yu's people this time."

The figure in front of the library appeared in front of Wei Tao's eyes, as well as the old man's doting smile.

He said thoughtfully, "Are you still going to write her a reply?"

"My subordinates have been waiting for your arrival. Now that I have met the deacon, I naturally want to report this to the emperor.

If the deacon wants to contact Daozi for something, he can also pass the message through his subordinates. "

"Well, just give her two things back."

"First of all, I didn't encounter any encirclement and suppression. The reason why I came late was mainly because I went to relax and rest around Fucheng first, so I wasted a little time.

Second, the exercises I practice seem to be showing signs of breakthrough, and I may be able to climb the first floor in the near future. "

After finishing speaking, he picked up the teacup and asked, "Have you remembered everything?"

"Don't worry, Lord Deacon, my subordinates will remember it."

Wei Tao added, "Send me some more medicinal herbs that nourish blood and replenish qi. If you need to talk to Guanzhu Li, I will go and say hello to him in person."

"Daozi said before that the needs of the deacon are the most important tasks of his subordinates.

Therefore, there is no need for you to talk to the temple master. Once the training resources are collected, my subordinates will handle it themselves.

I will prepare a list of medicinal materials for the deacon to review later. No matter the quantity or quality, I will definitely satisfy you. "

Wei Tao nodded slightly and suddenly changed the subject, "Guanzhu Li, what lineage is he from?"

Zuo Shi lowered his voice again, "Guanzhu Li has many talents and has been operating in Luoshui for a long time..."

"Okay, I understand." Wei Tao waved his hand. He had already obtained enough information and did not let Zuo Shi talk any more.

The eight sides are exquisite, indicating that the master of Qingfeng Temple does not rely on all sides.

And the long-term operation means that he has deep roots in Luoshui City and is completely independent and self-contained.

This also explains why there was no guard deacon in Qingfeng Temple for a long time before him.

So, in this case, Ni Xun could force him in.

It also shows from the side that her energy in Yuan Dao is indeed very great.

More importantly, apart from observing the progress of her practice, whether she has any other purpose is worthy of further consideration.

Many thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant.

Wei Tao gathered his thoughts and asked Zuo Shi about the situation in Luoshui City.

From different perspectives, many new insights are gained.

Intelligence information has also been supplemented for places that were not paid much attention to before.

It wasn't until half an hour later that he got up and saw him off.
