Chapter 176 Crackling, Crisp and Pleasant

Taiyin Peak, Qiyun Palace.

Today is the last day of the mission, Zhang Ming sat quietly in the main hall, waiting for the mission to be settled.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations on completing the adventure mission! 】

[You have won 2 lucky draw opportunities! 】

Zhang Ming's heart moved, and he actually gave two rewards. It seems that the task this time is really difficult.

Longyang Peak, Yinyang Peak, Patriarch of Hehuan, Bailu Academy, Jiuze Heihuai, Xuankong Temple, Taiyi Immortal Gate... For others, all of them are natural barriers.

"It turns out that I have become so powerful."

Zhang Ming sighed a little.

Not long ago, he and Qingquan were two little Taoist priests in the Qi Cultivation Realm on Zhuoguang Mountain.

Today, it is already a difference between cloud and mud.

"Daoist Qing Hui, I'll report something!"

At this time, Qu Feiyan, Ruan Xiu and Qing Yu walked into the hall and saluted respectfully.

Zhang Ming couldn't help but put off the lottery draw, looked up at the three of them, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The matter of the Four Sacred Mountains was over, and when they finished reporting, it was time for him to say goodbye and leave.

"Reporting to Daoist Priest, the last time you let me wait to inquire, there are already some clues."

Ruan Xiu took a step forward and said, "The first thing to do is the deeds of Taixuzi Guanzhu."

"There have been rumors in the Jin Dynasty. Two years ago, a Taoist priest from Lingshu Temple was born out of nowhere. He went to three counties, seven cities and ten mansions, and defeated nine great Confucianists in a row."

"Finally, I stopped at Dongming Academy and asked 1,300 sentences with the Haoran saint. I narrowly defeated the opponent, which damaged the mood of this contemporary Confucian saint and is still recuperating."

▽

"Since then, Confucianism and Taoism have declined!"

When she was reporting, there was a sense of awe in her eyes, she never thought that Taixuzi Guanzhu would have such a brilliant record, defeating Confucianism with her own strength, and subduing the world.

The Spiritual Pivot View is truly unfathomable!

However, before that, she had never heard of it.

Zhang Ming was also surprised. He defeated nine great Confucians in a row, and he was alone in the world. Is this my master?

He couldn't help but see Tai Xuzi's generous and majestic face. He once stuck the broken doors and windows of himself and Qingquan in the cold wind. He was so poor that he cheated young women's eggs at the foot of the mountain. Catching fish to make up for the body, he once solemnly said in front of the full moon well, "I would like to follow the admonition of my ancestors, the dry well will not live, and I will not enter the world"...

"No, master, why did you enter the world?"

Only then did he realize something was wrong.

What's the situation, you fool me and Qingquan not to go down the mountain, but your old man is happy and happy at the bottom of the mountain? !

"Is there any proof?"

Zhang Ming looked at the stunning Ruan Xiu.

Ruan Xiu's heart skipped a beat, she felt that her whole body was about to move, and the imprint of wanting to be a slave was restless again inappropriately.

"I would like to report to Daoist Priest, as soon as I got the news, I ordered the eyeliners from all over the place to investigate. The disciples of the three counties asked many times, and they all confirmed the deeds of the master Taixuzi."

She was afraid to look into Zhang Ming's eyes, pretending to lower her eyebrows and said, "Seven cities and ten prefectures, time has not passed long, and there are many clues left behind, which cannot be erased at all."

"However, since we can find out these things, all the forces of the Jin Dynasty can also find out. Now the name of Lingshu Guan Taixuzi is known all over the world!"

Zhang Ming was stunned, he didn't expect his master to be even more famous than himself?

He was totally focused on the news and didn't notice Ruan Xiu's abnormality at all.

On the other hand, Qu Feiyan's eyes were surprised, this apprentice of himself is becoming less and less reserved,

No matter how in front of the Taoist priest Qing Hui, he can still be moved by desire.

However, her heart was also sour.

Compared with Ruan Xiu, she didn't even dare to show her feelings.

"Axiu, let's go to the hot spring together later."

While Zhang Ming was in a daze, she leaned into Ruan Xiu's ear and said.

Ruan Xiu panicked, and immediately remembered how comfortable she was practicing together in the master's room last time, so she couldn't help nodding her head in response.

"The name of Taixuzi is well known in the world..."

Zhang Ming was still thinking about the impact of this matter on the Spiritual Pivot Temple, and asked, "Peak Master Ruan, is there any news about us killing Wang Jinglong, the mentally retarded Zen Master, and the old Taoist Ziyang?"

There is no impenetrable wall in this world.

In fact, he already had the answer in his heart.

However, it still needs to be verified.

Ruan Xiu came back to her senses and said: "This is the second thing I want to report. My Taiyin Peak has surrendered to Lingshu Temple, abandoned demons and practiced Taoism, and has been informed to the world through eyeliners everywhere."

"However, during this process, news came out from nowhere, and things about Wang Jinglong from White Deer Academy, Puhong and Mentally Disabled from Xuankong Temple, and Master Ziyang from Taiyi Immortal Sect were spread."

"Now the two sects are furious, and the world is in an uproar. I'm afraid it will have a big impact on the Taoist priest..."

She stole a glance at Zhang Ming, with a little worry in her eyes.

Sanzong has always been a sharp sword hanging over the Great Jin Dynasty, no one dares to provoke it, no one dares to frustrate its edge.

But now they are going to attack Daoist Qing Hui...

Can he...can stop it?

However, upon hearing this news, Zhang Ming seemed to have expected it, nodded noncommittally, and continued to ask: "What about the Confucianism?"

What he values ​​most is the response of Confucianism.

Whether it is Master Taixuzi or himself, they have already severely offended Confucianism to death.

They are the ones who hate the spirit pivot view the most!

"Daoist Qing Hui, when it comes to Confucianism, this is what I am confused about."

Ruan Xiuyin dismissed the worry in her eyes and pondered, "All the three sects reacted, and some people even saw people from the Yaowang Sect in Luocheng, the capital, but both Bailu Academy and Dongming Academy were quiet, as if I only read the books of sages and sages with all my heart, and my ears don't hear anything outside the window."

Zhang Ming frowned: "They... have no response?"

This is not normal!

The person who hated the Lingshu Temple the most stood still and didn't respond at all!

"No, either they really didn't move, or there was too much movement, hidden deep behind the scenes!"

Zhang Ming believed more in the latter.

Like the undercurrent in the depths of a calm lake, it is surging, but it doesn't reveal anything.

"It seems that the Confucian lineage has a big plan..."

The second thing Zhang Ming told Ruan Xiu before was to ask her to send someone to pay attention to the trend of Confucianism.

Now it seems that they have not noticed their movements.

"Could it be that Confucianism... is also a chess player?"

Zhang Ming's heart trembled, and he somehow felt that there was a possibility.

Now the world is in chaos, the Jin Dynasty worships Buddhism and restrains Taoism, the aristocratic family hides, and the court and military headquarters are even more turbulent. I am afraid that there are many forces stirring up, plus the three sects strife...

Perhaps the current empress is not the only one who plays chess!

Even today's empress is just one of the chess pieces, and the real chess player is someone else.

In his heart, the situation of the Jin Dynasty became clearer.

"Master Ruan Feng, continue to send people to watch Confucianism, and if there is any movement, send a message to me immediately!"

Zhang Ming kept his voice down and ordered.

Ruan Xiu understood the importance of it, and replied: "Yes, I will follow the order of the Taoist priest!"

Qing Yu added from the side: "Daoist Qing Hui, apart from the two things just now, this disciple has other discoveries."

Zhang Ming looked at this bright and capable girl, nodded and said, "Tell me."

"The Taoist priest once explained that we should pay attention to the movements of several forces."

Qingyu reported respectfully, "The first place is the Wang family of Dongling County. We have already found out his relationship with Yushoumen, as well as the reason for attacking Daoist Priest Lingshu Guan Yiqing."

Zhang Ming was a little surprised: "Oh? So fast."

These few things were just arranged by him a few days ago, but he didn't expect it to have a result.

At this moment, he had a deep understanding of Taiyin Peak's intelligence capabilities.

"It seems that the Hehuan sect can exist for such a long time, it must have its ability and expertise. I was able to kill them so smoothly, maybe it was because of surprise."

Zhang Ming secretly rejoiced.

Qing Yu nodded, and continued: "That's right, the Wang family of Dongling County is a branch of the Jingdu Wang family, and the head of the family had some affair with the great elder of Yushou Sect in the early years."

"To be exact, it was Fan Yuhua, the great elder of the Beast Sect who ate tender grass, and fell in love with Wang Juzheng, who was young and elegant at the time. However, this was not the reason for their attack."

"The real reason is actually because of Daoist Taixuzi!"

Zhang Ming was taken aback: "Because of my master?"

How did the Wang family of Dongling County get involved with Master Tai Xuzi again?

Qing Yu smiled and said: "That's right, just now the Peak Master said that the Master Taixuzi went to three counties, seven cities and ten mansions, and defeated nine great Confucian scholars in a row.

"The Wang family of Dongling County belongs to the royal family of Kyoto. They are all Confucianism and Taoism. All of their disciples are studying in Dongming, Bailu and other academies. The relatives in the clan are all over the court and military headquarters. They are the number one supporters of Confucianism. .”

"And Taixuzi Guanzhu is the number one enemy of Confucianism."

"Others don't know the secret of two years ago, but Wang Juzheng, the Patriarch of the Wang Clan in Dongling County, wouldn't know about it."

"That's why he set up a plan to kill Daoist Yiqing in Tangling County. For this reason, he even hired a life-shaping killer from the Blood Fiend Pavilion, but it failed."

She quickly explained the situation of the Wang family in Dongling County.

It turned out that the root cause was indeed Taixuzi, the Wang family of Dongling County wanted to exchange the head of Daoist Priest Lingshu Guan Yiqing for the merits of Confucianism.

That's why they took the risk and dispatched the killer of Xuesha Pavilion, the head of the family Wang Juzheng and Wang Wentan, the patriarch of the Wang family, one after another.

And this Xuesha Pavilion is one of the three sects and seventeen sects that is proficient in assassination.

They collect money to do things, and they are active among the aristocratic families.

"What about the beast gate?"

Zhang Ming remembered clearly that there were seven other people who intercepted and killed him from the Beast Sect.

Including later they used to control all kinds of beasts and besiege Qingquan and Baiyao.

"Daoist Qing Hui, although this beast gate is related to the Wang family of Dongling County, their motives should be different."

Qing Yu nodded and said, "According to Nanfang County's eyeliner report, this beast gate is located in the deep mountains and swamps at the junction of Nanfang County and Dongling County. It has always been with monsters and beasts, and rarely set foot in ordinary people."

"And they have already cut off contact with the Wang family of Dongling County."

"Therefore, the disciple guessed that they should have shot at the Lingshu Temple for other reasons. Unfortunately, please forgive the incompetence of the disciple, and the secret has not been explored yet."

She shook her head shamefacedly.

Zhang Ming suddenly realized that this is normal.

If something can be done by you in two or three days, that would be really scary!

"It's okay, continue to investigate, and let me know if you have any news."

He commanded calmly.

Qing Yu nodded quickly: "Yes, disciple obeys!"

Qu Feiyan also shook her head with shame on her face, and said, "Master Qinghui, I am incompetent, and I haven't found out the origins of old monk Xuanjing and Xingshizhong yet."

She has been addicted to soaking in hot springs recently, and hasn't gone out to investigate this matter yet.

Zhang Ming naturally knew her situation, nodded lightly, and said, "This is not urgent, Elder Qu is worried, I am afraid it will take some time."

The same thing happened to Zhou Yimo of the Scarlet Fire Demon Sect, so he didn't ask any more.

Qu Feiyan secretly made up her mind that after she finished soaking in the hot spring with Ruan Xiu and the others today, she would resign and set off to complete the two tasks that Taoist Qinghui had given her.

"There's one last thing."

Qing Yu pondered for a while and said, "Master Qinghui, the disciples are ordered to pay attention to the current situation of the empress. But it's a little strange, there is a lot of trouble about the destruction of Xiaohanshan Temple, the Acacia Sect, and the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism in Lingshu Temple."

"However, it seems that Her Majesty the Empress has been fishing in the Imperial Lake, without any waves or intentions."

"I heard that in the early court, Sikong Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, mentioned this matter, but she was brought up by Her Majesty the Empress, and she didn't seem to care. My disciple wonders if she has deeper intentions?"

It is rare for this disciple who is in charge of Taiyin Peak's large and small affairs to fail to see a person clearly.

There is also such a person in front of him, the Taoist priest Qing Hui.

Unmoving like a mountain, unfathomable.

"I'm afraid that only by understanding everything about Daoist Qing Hui in a simple way can I guess what he thinks..."

Qing Yu's heart was slightly turbulent.

At this moment, she suddenly wanted to take a look at the Lingshu of Zhuoguang Mountain, what kind of place it was.

"She's waiting for..."

Zhang Ming suddenly said in a calm tone.

The three were startled: "What?"

Zhang Ming glanced at them, then his eyes flicked to the gate of Qiyun Palace, and cast his eyes to an unknown distance.

"If Pindao's guess is correct, Her Majesty the Empress is waiting for the reaction of some people, or... is waiting for the reaction of some forces."

His eyes flickered, as if he understood the thoughts of the current empress like never before.

"It's like Confucianism, if it takes action, its disciples will spread all over the court and military headquarters, and someone will definitely jump out to speak out. But, except for Sikong Yu, no one else appeared."

"Just like the three sects, the anger of the two sects, and the deliberate appearance of the medicine king sect, I am afraid they all have deeper intentions."

"There are also aristocratic families... what do they want to do?"

"The current situation in the world is all in her eyes. It's like fishing in the imperial lake. First, you must see the turbulence and trend of the water, and then choose the bait to hook!"

Qu Feiyan, Ruan Xiu and Qing Yu looked at each other.

They were a little confused at the moment, what did Taoist Qing Hui say... what does it mean?

"Who is the bait?"

With a delicate mind, Qu Feiyan was the first to ask.

Ruan Xiu also raised her head in horror, staring blankly at the man in front of her.

But the handsome Taoist just smiled lightly, and spat: "Poverty... that's the bait!"

This time, he finally saw all the situation clearly.

Or, he thought he had seen all the situation clearly.

Or, it was the chess players who allowed themselves to see clearly a certain situation they deliberately created.

However, that doesn't matter anymore.

"Since that's the case, Pindao will take a walk in this deep water and see who can keep me behind."

Zhang Ming clapped his palms indifferently, "Maybe he can also tear off the fisherman and spank his ass on his lap for three days. Hehe, that must be very interesting!"

There seemed to be a "cracking" sound in the ears of the three girls.

Nemesis unhappy.

Crisp and delightful.
