Fairy cage

A cold laughter appeared all around.

The huge white skeleton stared at Zhu Laozi and said again:

"Jie Jie! Zhu Laozi, are you really convinced?"

At this moment, the other Taoist priests disappeared, and Zhu Laozi was left alone. The two of them obviously still had something to say.

When Zhu Laozi heard the words of the skeleton Taoist master, his eyes were full of resentment, but he gritted his teeth and spit out: "I accept it, of course my disciple will accept it!"

After a pause, Zhu Laozi's eyes burst into hope again, and he said in a trembling voice with great anticipation: "Taoist master, have you prepared the elixir for your disciples to restore their cultivation?"

When the skeleton Taoist master heard Zhu Laozi's words, the will-o'-the-wisps in his eyes danced, and he laughed sarcastically:

"Why, do you think that I am just trying to play a cruel trick with you by cutting back on the Dao of You today?"

A cold and stern shout immediately came out of the skeleton Taoist's mouth:

"Zhu Laozi, I tell you the truth, I spared your life today because of your filial piety for so many years. If besides me, the dragon boat or the old toad are still there today, do you think you are still alive?" How much Taoism can be preserved, and can one’s life be spared?”

Zhu Laozi's already pale face suddenly turned pale again.

He sat paralyzed in the palm of the skeleton Taoist master, his body swaying. After a while, he finally said bitter words: "Yes... I understand."

Zhu Laozi straightened up with difficulty and raised his hands towards the skull looking down at him: "In that case, disciple, go and retire first."

"Wait a minute."

Just when Zhu Laozi was about to leave, the huge skull shook and said faintly: "Today's matter is over here. But it won't be long before the guy from the dragon boat will come back. Even if it's him, If you can't come back, the old toad will also ask.

The Taoist's face can only suppress the Taoist priests in the palace. If the parents of the hundreds of thousands of Tao children in the palace go to the Taoist court to complain, do you think this matter will be reopened? If Dao Ting uses this matter to suppress Qiangong, do you think the palace will take you out as an explanation? "

Zhu Laozi's expression changed, and he immediately became anxious. He gritted his teeth and shouted:

"Graybone Taoist! You absolutely must not do this."

Zhu Laozi blurted out: "Although it was the junior who contacted Taozhou, the people from the Taoist court were helped by you, the Taoist master. Although the junior knew that there was something wrong with it, he wanted to take a chance. But I didn’t know that the Taozhou group was really so brave! Taoist master, you should be a junior from the Qing Dynasty!"

"Oh." The skull stared at Zhu Laozi indifferently:

"You really don't know what will happen after the experience? So, you mean that you are innocent, but there is someone else who should be most responsible for this matter in the palace?"

The skeleton, known as the Ash Bone Taoist, said this in a plain tone, but when Zhu Laozi heard it, it made Zhu Laozi's heart beat.

Bang bang!

Quickly, Zhu Laozi bent over and knelt on the ground, bowed to the ground without any decency, and bowed in salute: "Taoist, please calm down! Taoist, please calm down!"

It's the junior who is talking in a panic, but the junior really doesn't mean it. This matter was all handled by the junior and has nothing to do with the Taoist master! "

He was trembling, and his forehead banged against the palm of the gray-bone Taoist master.

"Jie Jie!"

A sneer rang out, and the Ash Bone Taoist's voice regained a touch of humanity: "It's good to know. If your ancestors don't have some relationship with this Tao, it would be the easiest thing to use you directly to stall the palace."

It paused and then said: "But I wasn't teasing you just now. You'd better find a scapegoat before Dragon Boat and Toad intervene, especially before the Taoist court intervenes. Then hand over the other party directly, The best thing you can do is protect yourself.

You should think about this carefully these days. "

After saying this, the Ash Bone Taoist raised his head, which slowly disappeared into the darkness, and was about to drive Zhu Laozi away.

But when Zhu Laozi heard what the Ash-bone Taoist said, his mind was spinning, and various thoughts were rolling in his heart. His eyelids suddenly jumped, and he immediately saluted the Ash-bone Taoist:

"Reporting to Taoist master, this disciple happens to have a candidate here who can be responsible for this matter!"

"Um?"

The gray-bone Taoist's movements were slightly stagnant, and he lowered his head again and looked at Zhu Laozi.

"This person's name is Yu Lie, and he is the person who participated in this experience."

Zhu Laozi immediately shouted loudly: "In this experience, among the hundreds of thousands of disciples in my entire palace, no, including the hundreds of thousands of disciples in Taozhou Dao Palace, this boy is the only one who has made a great breakthrough in cultivation.

And during the training, for some reason, this boy actually managed to harm all the Wu Lizi in Taozhou, and the place where the final battle between Zhihanzi and the Taoist masters happened to be the place where this boy's migrating disciples stayed!

In the whole experience, this person is the most eye-catching. Even the juniors and the Qingwazi are not as popular as him. "

When the gray-bone Taoist master heard Zhu Laozi's words, the will-o'-the-wisp in his eyes jumped with interest, but the next moment he suddenly sneered:

"Yes, you are very good at adapting to circumstances. This boy is indeed a good scapegoat. But the lamb you chose is too young. This disciple's cultivation level is only at the bottom of the seventh grade.

If he happens to be in the process of training, he will break through from the seventh level to the sixth level. Your words can barely exonerate me, or help you share your guilt. "

Zhu Laozi's expression remained unchanged, he raised his hands and spoke again:

"The Taoist master's eyes are like a torch, and what he says makes sense. But what if he is not the only one?"

The gray-bone Taoist's teeth chattered and he shouted impatiently: "Speak quickly, speak quickly, don't show off, be careful I will use you as an explanation directly."

Zhu Laozi was obedient and said hurriedly:

"According to what this junior knows, Yu Lie has only been in Dao City for five or six years. This boy is obviously from a small family in the countryside, but once he entered the city, he was able to get along so well. This is unique. See, there may be no problem.

However, before this son became a Taoist disciple, the place where he learned Taoism was quite strange. That place is located in the Heihe River Basin and is called Blackwater Town! "

"Blackwater Town?" The Ash Bone Taoist heard the place name and chewed it in his mouth, seeming to remember something.

It looked at Zhu Laozi with slight interest.

Zhu Laozi spoke again: "This son is the remnant of the palace - the Taoist boy under Heishuizi's account!"

He also said categorically: "The time when he became a Taoist disciple happened to be the time when Heishuizi became a Taoist priest. The difference was at most two months. If it were just this one time, Heishui Town and the other two towns would have become Taoist disciples at the same time. There are many Taoists, and this one may not be surprising.

But after entering the palace, this son happened to be under the command of someone in the palace! "

Zhu Laozi paused and added: "To be precise, I am about to worship that person.

And this person's Taoist name in the palace is Zi Zhuzi, and he is a member of the Poison Tao. That disciple Yu Lie happens to be a poisonous person too! "

At this moment, the will-o'-the-wisps in the gray-bone Taoist's eyes beat hard several times.

After pondering for a few breaths:

"According to what you mean, the Taoist named Yu Lie is very likely to have something to do with Heishuizi, and the same lineage in the palace back then... and it is also very possible that the experience this time Is it this guy and the people behind him who are causing trouble?"

Zhu Laozi said in a deep voice: "Hui Dao Master, the possibility is extremely high..."

The next moment, Zhu Laozi thought that this matter was related to his life, so he immediately changed his words and said definitely:

"It's absolutely true, it must be so! Otherwise, it's not enough to explain so many coincidences.

It must be Heishuizi, the remnant of the palace. He was carefully cultivated in Dao Town and allowed to practice poison skills. Then he was sent to Dao Palace and Zi Zhuzi took over his training. It is even possible that all the Taoist disciples from the Heihe River Basin have been assigned by the other party, and there is a big conspiracy among them! "

Zhu Laozi said freely: "Otherwise, when Heishuizi first came to the Tao to build the foundation, why would he deliberately sprinkle a large amount of lizard flesh and blood to help others practice?"

After some logical and self-consistent words were spoken, the pig was extremely happy and suddenly realized that the scapegoat he had found was indeed appropriate.

However, he found that after hearing this, the Ash Bone Taoist Master still had a look of deep thought on his face, as if he was hesitating.

Zhu Laozi's eyes flashed, and he whispered again:

"Returning to the Taoist master, if I take this son as a crime, I can just implicate the Zi Zhuzi. This should be enough as an explanation. Moreover, their lineage has been beaten into Tao thieves, whether in the palace or in the palace. In the Taoist Court, no one should think too much about it.

If someone is really blocking it, there must be a ghost among them! Taoist master, you can also use this to further eliminate the influence of that lineage..."

The will-o'-the-wisps in the gray-bone Taoist's eyes jumped violently.

It paused for a long time and said with an incomprehensible emotion: "That's all.

Although this matter is still quite far-fetched, it is the best to use the child as a crime. Otherwise, if another Taoist priest in the palace is hurt, it will really damage the strength of our Qianzhou Taoist Palace. "

Hearing Huigu's words, Zhu Laozi's eyes burst into surprise, and he immediately shouted loudly:

"The Taoist master is wise!"

Huigu stared at Zhu Laozi for a few more breaths, then suddenly clicked and said with a smile:

"That's right. Although your nickname is Zhu Laozi, it sounds inelegant. But this cleverness is rare in the palace.

And what's even more rare is that you know so much about the background of Xiao Dao'er. It's not easy to reach this point in a hurry. But I have underestimated you before. "

When Zhu Laozi heard this, his face tightened and he showed humility: "The Taoist master is wrong."

"In that case, just do as you say."

The gray-bone Taoist's voice became more and more distant. Its head had moved away, but its metacarpal bones holding Zhu Laozi did not move away immediately. Moreover, one of the phalanges in its five fingers detached and shrank to the size of a normal human bone. Slowly floated in front of Zhu Laozi.

"Although you have been cut off from your Taoism by me, you still hold my token and walk in the palace on behalf of me to investigate this matter. No one else dares to disobey."

The last words floated into Zhu Laozi's ears. Only then did Zhu Laozi feel that his body had fallen and there was no place to stand under his feet.

He tensed up and barely managed to avoid falling.

"No!" Zhu Laozi hugged the gray-bone Taoist's finger bone token with both hands and responded respectfully:

"Please obey the Taoist Master's decree!"

The surroundings returned to silence and darkness.

After confirming that the ashes had left, Zhu Laozi left the underground palace in the dark and appeared in the above-ground mountain gate of the Taoist palace.

Suddenly, a gust of mountain wind blew and fell on Zhu Laozi, making him feel cold all over.

As soon as he touched his neck, he suddenly felt sweaty, and found that his whole body was covered in cold sweat, and he did not look like a Taoist priest at all.

Zhu Laozi shuddered. He looked at the dark night sky, and his heart was filled with the feeling of seeing the sun again.

At this moment, he no longer concealed his expression, his face revealed a look of deep resentment and ferociousness, but the most significant part of it was a look of happiness.

Zhu Laozi sighed quietly:

"Sha'er, if you hadn't been so cunning in your accusations and collected information about Xiao Dao'er, in an attempt to make me vent your anger on you during the training... Whether my grandfather can pass the test this time will really be a problem. "

Feeling lucky, Zhu Laozi touched the finger bone token given by Hui Gu and narrowed his eyes again.

He suddenly realized that although he had been reduced to the lowest level by the Gray Bones and his realm had fallen to the bottom of the sixth grade, with Gray Bones' favor, even if his status in the palace was shaken, he would not sink to the bottom.

Moreover, during this investigation, he could not only clean up his relationship, but also take this opportunity to reshape his status with the Zhu family.

"You can even try to restore my lost Taoism."

Zhu Laozi's eyes flickered, and several faces flashed through his mind, and finally he settled on a cold and pretty face, and he was filled with thoughts!

………………

On the other side, Yu Lie left Zishan.

When he returned to his home, he would still think of Zi Zhuzi's cold face from time to time.

Yu Lie sighed in his heart:

"My master is really a cold-faced and warm-hearted person!"

Luo Sen and Miaom in the courtyard were awakened by him, and they both put on their clothes and came out. When the two women saw Yu Lie returning with a happy face, they were surprised and asked Yu Lie what benefits he had received.

Yu Lie smiled, although he also wanted to share it with the two of them.

But since Zi Zhuzi has said it all, he has to wait until the Immortal Ascension meeting before officially accepting him as his disciple. It's hard for Yu Lie to show off in front of others.

Although Luo Sen and Miao Mu are no longer considered outsiders.

Yu Lie reserved his words and just said: "Some good things have happened, but we can't talk about it for the time being. The two sisters can just watch it from now on."

Seeing him showing off, Luo Sen and Miaom didn't pay much attention, and just replied narrowly:

"I just came back in the middle of the night. Is it a good thing that I have found a beautiful woman and will introduce a new sister to us soon?"

Hearing this, Yu Lie raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked at the two women's large robes, and suddenly thoughts came to his mind, and he remembered something.

When Luo Sen and Miao Mu met Yu Lie's direct gaze, their originally smiling faces disappeared and were replaced by shyness.

The two women hurriedly bowed to Yu Lie and were about to return to their rooms.

But Yu Lie hurriedly took a step forward and held their hands:

"You two sisters stay.

The moonlight is quite beautiful tonight, why not enjoy the moonlight with me? "
