Alienated Martial Arts

Chapter 173 Eyes
Breeze view.

In a quiet small building.

The two figures sat opposite each other, talking happily.

"Qinglian Sect?"

"Deacon Wei's question brought back memories that I have had for a long time."

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

After thinking for a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "Thirty years ago, the Qinglian Sect became very popular, and was suppressed by the imperial court and the sect together. All the core members of the sect were wiped out, and there has been no sound since then."

"At that time, the old Taoist was still a disciple who had just joined the Yuanyi Mountain Gate. He didn't want to hear the name of the Qinglian Sect again in a blink of an eye."

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

"I've never heard of the Qinglian 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?" Li Guanzhu asked.

Wei Tao pondered and said slowly, "They are talking about the Red Lantern Festival that developed in Cangyuan City, and the bandits who fled from Mozhou, all of which seem to be related to Qinglian Sect."

"Red Lantern Festival?"

Li Guanzhu wondered, "I've never heard of this organization, and I don't know that it can be related to Qinglian Sect."

"However, Deacon Wei needn't be nervous, after all, the imperial court and sect were digging deep to destroy the Qinglian Sect.

In addition to their main altar, uprooting the sub-altars in various places will not give them the possibility of revival. "

Wei Tao picked up the wine glass on the side, "I just listen to it casually, and then talk casually with the temple master, drink and drink."

Let's have a feast.

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

"This is the deacon's residence, named Lvzhuyuan."

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

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

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

The decoration style of the small building suits his taste very well, with a touch of grandeur implied in the elegance, giving people a sense of peace and tranquility.

He slowly walked around the hall, and finally stood on 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 rather large platform, which is a good place to rest and watch the scenery.

The little Taoist quickly resigned and left.

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

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

shuh...

A figure quietly pushed open the courtyard door and bowed across the table.

"This subordinate has seen Deacon Wei."

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

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

"The subordinate didn't come to visit the deacon secretly, but came to ask the deacon what he needed at the order of the temple master."

The middle-aged Taoist said respectfully, "My subordinate is named Zuo Shi, and he is mainly responsible for purchasing materials for the Taoist temple on weekdays. If the deacon needs anything, he can directly order it."

"Your position is full of oil and water."

Wei Tao pointed to the stone bench opposite, "It's tiring to stand and talk, sit down."

Zuo Shi didn't move, and still stood there bowed, "The oil and water are all from the Taoist temple, and my subordinates have never thought about it."

Looking up, Wei Tao smiled, "It doesn't matter whether you have ideas or not, as long as you have Guanzhu Li's trust, it should be enough to listen to Guanzhu's instructions on everything."

Zuo Shi didn't seem to realize the meaning of this sentence, and still bowed and stood there.

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

"What Deacon Wei said is very true, but his subordinates purchased all kinds of supplies according to the instructions of the temple master.

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

"Oh?"

Wei Tao restrained his smile and sat up straight, "Unexpectedly, Daozi Qingye, besides focusing on hard work, would spare no effort in caring about the development and growth of the outer 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 eyes again, and sighed softly, "Master Deacon, don't try to scare your subordinates for fun. The Taoism that your subordinates are talking about is naturally the Taoism of Ni Xing."

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

Zuo Shi took a step back, "If the deacon doesn't believe it, just open this box and take a look."

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

"Subordinates can't open it. If you open it with brute force, it will damage the contents inside."

Zuo Shi was silent for a while, "Daozi said, the secret key is on the deacon's Dao card."

Wei Tao took out the Dao card and observed it carefully, then looked at the cloud pattern on the surface of the box, and suddenly understood it.

After a few breaths.

There was a soft snap.

The lid of the box pops up to reveal what's inside.

He exhaled slowly, and took out a paper sign full of elegant handwriting from under the pile of pills.

Comparing it with Gui Yuangong's markings, it can be confirmed that the signature on the paper is written by Ni Xing himself.

After a quick look, he put the lid back on, and asked in confusion, "Isn't she grounded and not allowed to see people? Why can she still deliver things and news?"

Zuo Shi thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head, "This subordinate doesn't know either, but this time the person meeting with this subordinate is Granny Yu's people."

Wei Tao saw the figure in front of Zangshu Pavilion and the doting smile of the old man.

Thoughtful, "Are you going to write back to her?"

"This subordinate has been waiting for your arrival, now that I have seen the deacon, I will naturally report this matter to the reporter.

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

"Well, you can give her two things in return."

"First, I didn't encounter the siege and hunting. The reason why I came late was mainly because I went to the surrounding area of ​​Fucheng to relax and rest, so I was delayed for a little time.

Second, there seems to be a breakthrough in the exercises I practiced, and I may be able to climb the first floor in the near future. "

After finishing speaking, he picked up the teacup, "Do you remember everything?"

"Master Deacon, don't worry, the subordinates will remember."

Wei Tao added, "Bring me more medicinal materials for nourishing blood and nourishing 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 the subordinates.

Therefore, there is no need for you and the temple master to talk too much, and the subordinates will handle the collection of cultivation resources by themselves.

Later, I will make a list of medicinal materials for the deacon to look over, no matter the quantity or quality, I will definitely satisfy you. "

Wei Tao nodded slightly, and suddenly changed the topic, "Master Li, what kind of person is he from?"

Zuo Shi lowered his voice again, "Master Li Guan is exquisite in all aspects, and he has been operating in Luoshui for a long time..."

"Okay, I got it." Wei Tao waved his hand, already got enough information, so he didn't ask Zuo Shi to continue.

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

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

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

Then, under such circumstances, Ni Tang could still force him in.

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

More importantly, besides observing the progress of the cultivation method, whether she has any other purpose is also worthy of deep consideration.

In an instant, many thoughts flashed in my mind.

Wei Tao restrained his thoughts, and asked Zuo Shi about the situation of Luoshui City.

From different perspectives, draw many new views.

For places that were not paid much attention before, there is also supplementary intelligence information.

It wasn't until half an hour later that he got up to send him away.
