Fairy cage

Zi Zhuzi faced Yu Lie, and there was a small flying insect buzzing in circles above her palm.

This thing is the breath collecting insect, also known as the sleepy insect, that was originally given to Yu Lie by the master of Blackwater Temple. It can help Yu Lie hide his aura, making it extremely difficult for seventh-grade Taoist officials to detect it.

When Yu Lie saw Zi Zhuzi's movements, how could he not know that his identity had probably been discovered by Zi Zhuzi as early as when he carried the breath-collecting insects up the mountain.

"That's right. This woman is a sixth-grade Taoist priest. The breath-collecting insect was given to me by the temple master when he was still a seventh-grade Taoist priest. It should be easy for this woman to see through this insect."

Thoughts in Yu Lie's mind were wandering. He bowed to Zi Zhuzi and said, "It turns out that Master knew about this insect a long time ago."

Zi Zhuzi chuckled, with a complicated look in her eyes, a cold smile on her face, and said:

"Of course it is. Otherwise, do you really think that I am a good person? You are just a small Taoist disciple. Even if you know how to do Poison Kung Fu, your talent is acceptable, but you have been practicing in this Dao for nearly a hundred years and you have seen more than a thousand Poison Kung Fu practitioners. There are many people who are better than you.

If you accept disciples as soon as you see an outstanding Taoist, there should be many disciples of this Tao before you come. "

Although Zi Zhuzi's words sounded reasonable, in fact, among the outstanding poisonous people she had met over the years, it was Yu Lie who was the most in line with her wishes.

This woman has always suspected that Yu Lie was specially trained by Heishuizi for her and sent here to be her apprentice. The reason for making such a statement now is just to stop Yu Lie from being too arrogant.

There was a look on Yu Lie's face that he was hesitant to speak. At this moment, he suddenly thought that he still had a token in his bag that the Master of Black Water Temple gave him specially before leaving.

The token looked like it had an unusual material. It was obviously not a simple token, but Yu Lie didn't know what the token's function was.

Now that Zi Zhuzi has made his identity clear, Yu Lie has the idea of ​​taking out the token and asking the other party, which may further prove the relationship between him and the Blackwater Temple Master.

But when the words came to his lips, Yu Lie still held back.

"Although I have come to terms with this woman now, it is not advisable to have a superficial relationship with her."

In addition, Yu Lie still has some speculations about the token in his hand. He suspects that the token is related to a fortune left by the master of Blackwater Temple, or the inheritance of the master.

Since Zi Zhuzi didn't take the initiative to raise this point, and only identified his identity through the breath-collecting insect, it would be better for him to save it first, and not to make unnecessary moves, lest he arouse Zi Zhuzi's covetousness and cause trouble for nothing.

Zi Zhuzi, who was opposite, looked at Yu Lie, thinking that the strange movement on Yu Lie's face was just because he was in a daze because he suddenly learned so many things, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

call!

Yu Lie took a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, and asked again:

"I dare to ask Master, since my lineage has such a past in the palace, Master Heishuizi has also left the Taoist palace outside, and is even wanted by the Taoist court.

So how should we behave in the palace, especially with Zhu Laozi's upcoming attack? "

Hearing these words, Zi Zhuzi suppressed the smile on her face and her expression became serious again.

She pondered for a while and looked at Yu Lie with squinted eyes: "According to what I know, are you going to hold a banquet in the city soon and invite guests to celebrate?"

Yu Lie nodded and replied: "Master, that's right."

Zi Zhuzi said expressionlessly: "Although there is no conclusive evidence to prove it, Zhu Laozi will most likely lead his men to capture you in public when you hold a banquet and torture you in the palace.

And there is a good chance that you will be left with a certain amount of time in the field, allowing you to call the Tao over, or force you to use some life-saving things that the Tao gave you, such as the token last time. "

Yu Lie frowned and asked sincerely: "What can be done?"

Zi Zhuzi snorted coldly and said with a smile:

"Of course the soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth. Since he wants to humiliate you and me, the master and the disciple, in public, then I will give him a chance. And when I see it, whether I am stepped on by him, or he is torn apart by me Shame.”

With just a few words, Zi Zhuzi asked Yu Lie to come over and explained in detail in Yu Lie's ears.

After listening to Zi Zhu's Taoist explanation, Yu Lie was instantly calm and showed a hint of excitement.

On the contrary, when Zi Zhuzi saw Yu Lie's expression so excited, she frowned and said:

"But having said that, after this, no matter whether you win or lose, you will step on a Taoist priest to ascend to the throne.

Although this move can make your reputation in the palace city even higher, it is also a poor Taoist who roasted you on the stove. It will definitely provoke subsequent suppression from this Taoist priest, and other Taoist priests in the palace will also regard you as a Those who offend your superiors will exclude you. "

Zi Zhuzi explained: "You have to be mentally prepared."

The excitement on Yu Lie's face dissipated, but he was not too worried. Instead, he immediately said:

"Master has something to do, and I will do my best to help you. This matter is fine!

At worst, after the matter is over, the disciple will leave the Qiangong immediately and start traveling around the world, just in time to avoid the disputes here, and it will not be too late to return after ten years. "

Zi Zhuzi sighed softly on his face, but also said aloud:

"Yes, leaving immediately and settling down outside is indeed the best solution. However, you may not be able to participate in the apprenticeship ceremony in a few months. The status of you and me as master and apprentice will only be It won’t be recognized by the palace for the time being.”

Regarding this point, Yu Lie's face showed a sad look, and he said sadly:

"That's all."

But inside, Yu Lie breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Although he has now settled with Zi Zhuzi, Yu Lie found that he was firmly on the pirate ship, but whether it was his relationship with the Black Water Temple Master or his relationship with Zi Zhuzi, the only person involved at the moment was Both parties knew it but had not made it public.

Once the other incident happened and really caused a thunderous attack from the Taoist Palace and Taoist Court, there would still be a glimmer of hope for Yu Lie.

After all, officially, he does not yet belong to the nine clans of his generation. But if the master-disciple relationship is made public, and once Heishuizi and Zizhuzi are implicated in the nine clans, then the rest of them will basically be buried with them, or they will be exposed as Taoist thieves.

Therefore, not participating in the apprenticeship ceremony is not only not a bad thing for Yu Lie, but it is a good thing, and it is even what he wants right now!

Anyway, Zi Zhuzi will give you all the benefits you should get from becoming a disciple.

And in the courtyard of the Taoist temple.

Zi Zhuzi saw the gloomy look on Yu Lie's face, but a trace of guilt arose in her heart:

"Although this boy has behaved rudely in the mountains over the past few years, he is indeed hard-working and diligent in his work. Now because of me, not only has he been targeted by Zhu Laozi, but I have also forced him to hurriedly ask for help. I feel ashamed to leave Qiangong and go to the outside world..."

The desire to compensate Yu Lie suddenly rose in Zi Zhuzi's heart.

She had already made plans regarding life-saving items, but as for other aspects of compensation, she had not yet thought clearly about it.

So after thinking about it for a while, Zi Zhuzi simply said:

"Disciple, I don't know that you are in the palace city, but if there is anything to eat or drink, or if there is anything you want to do but haven't done yet, you can tell me now that I will take care of it for you."

When Yu Lie heard this, his eyes lit up slightly.

He blurted out without politeness: "Yes.

Since the disciple has to travel far away, why not Master give the disciple the wine worm, so that it can be convenient for the disciple to practice. If it doesn't work, why not lend it to the disciples for a few days? If you can improve your cultivation, you can improve! "

In an instant, the originally calm-looking Zi Zhunv said, her face stiffened, and she glared at Yu Lie fiercely. The guilt in her heart suddenly disappeared, replaced by a surge of anger.

The female Taoist immediately wanted to reprimand Yu Lie severely, and even hang him up and beat him.

But Zi Zhuzi couldn't tell outsiders about the internal reasons, so she had to grit her teeth secretly, swallow her anger, and said coldly:

"This is not possible. You have just made a breakthrough, how can you use external objects to speed up your cultivation?

Bastard! Could it be that you have completely forgotten what Pindao told you a few days ago, asking you to polish your foundation? ! "

Yu Lie looked gloomy.

Zi Zhuzi snorted, flicked her sleeves and wanted to leave, but she still suppressed her thoughts and said, "Change something else."

Seeing this, Yu Lie could only think about it, and immediately thought of something. He saluted and asked for instructions:

"Reporting to Master, I still have one or two friends in the palace. They have a close personal relationship with me and may be implicated by him. Now they are both just Taoist disciples. I also ask Master to protect me while I am away. Ichiban.”

Zi Zhuzi looked relaxed and replied: "It's easy, just tell them their names."

Seeing that she agreed immediately, Yu Lie felt slightly happy. He immediately told the names and identities of Luo Sen and Miaom, and also mentioned the Yu family in Diive County.

Zi Zhuzi suddenly heard that they were two female Taoist disciples, and they were still living in the same room as her disciple. She raised her eyebrows slightly, her face became irritated, and she said:

"I didn't expect that you, a boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes on the outside, is actually quite a lot of tricksy people. I think I still have some friendship with you, and the two girls are also unlucky, so I agreed.

As for the Yu family, according to the rules in the world of mountains and seas, except for the Taoist court, all Taoist disputes cannot involve the family. As long as you don't care too much about your family and expose your weakness, no one will go all the way just to vent your anger and get involved in trouble. Of course, Pindao will also pay attention secretly. "

After saying that, the female Taoist waved her hand: "You can go down now, I'm exhausted."

Although Yu Lie looked unhappy when he saw the woman, everything was over. Even though Yu Lie still felt sorry for not being able to get the wine bug, he was relieved in his heart.

Yu Lie didn't dare to disturb the female Taoist anymore, so he could only say quickly: "Yes, disciple, please leave."

After saluting, he walked backwards for a few steps, then lowered his head and turned to leave.

After leaving the Amethyst Taoist Temple, Yu Lie's expression remained calm, but when he summoned Ya Ba and rode on it, he suddenly felt chilled by the wind.

Only then did Yu Lie realize that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

Yu Lie rode on Ya Ba's back, and after leaving Zishan again, he whispered:

"Everything is fate, nothing is up to you."

Faced with the situation of being involved in a dispute at the Taoist level, and there were Taoist-level figures above him, even if he could cope with it, he was really frightened inside and had a heavy sense of powerlessness.

Waiting until he returned to the door of the small courtyard in the palace, Yu Lie's expression was still uncertain.

At this time, Luo Sen and Miaom happened to be at home. They were in the courtyard, checking the gift list from the previous days, and preparing invitations for the upcoming banquet and other chores.

When the two of them heard the door open, they both immediately raised their heads.

They didn't know why, but when they saw Yu Lie coming back, their faces were filled with joy, and they all bowed:

"Brother, come here and take a look. Is there anything missing from the list that my sister and I bought?"

Yu Lieqiang smiled and nodded, walked over to take a look, glanced casually, and then saluted and said, "That's great, thank you for your hard work."

The names, positions and other matters on the invitation list are clear and complete. The number of hotel floors assigned to each guest and the order of seating are also particular. Obviously, Rosen and Miaom put a lot of thought into this matter.

Both women breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"That's good, that's good. Let us check it again and send the invitation later."

"This banquet is the first time that Lang Jun invites guests in the palace. This is very important. From now on, these guests will all be Lang Jun's connections.

By the way, Lang Jun, your old acquaintance in Blackwater Town, my sister and I have also invited you, and specifically stated that no gift money will be accepted. "

They said each other happily to each other.

At this moment, the grass and trees in the small courtyard are lush, the weather is clear, and the laughter is constant.

Whether it was Luo Sen or Miaom, their faces were full of expectations for the future.

Only Yu Lie looked at the long list of guests. Although he had a slight smile on his face, as he picked at the list, he was actually sneering in his heart and thinking:

"Seeing him banquet guests, seeing his building collapse... I wonder how many people on this list will be brave enough to keep in touch with me after this banquet."

But even after the incident, there was no one on the list, and Yu Lie didn't care at all.

What he cares about most is that he must maintain his upward momentum, continue to increase his mana, and improve his realm!

It should be noted that this banquet was won by his magic power. As long as his magic power is still there and he comes back tyrannically the next day, there will naturally be no shortage of these "friends".

So Yu Lie resigned to Luo Sen and Miaom, and then returned to his room, began to adjust his breath and nourish his energy, and comprehend the five poison spells given by Zi Zhuzi.

At this moment, his heart was filled with the desire to become stronger and transform.

If he is also a Taoist priest or Taoist master, Zhu Laozi and Huigu are both nothing more than dry bones in the tomb.
