The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

Kotos looked at the young Chinese man on the platform below the steps with a half-smile, and said, "Farewell to the mountain city, you are indeed more cunning than the last time we met!"

Li Yundao chuckled: "The great priest has won the award! I heard that my old friend misses me a lot and sent people all over the island to look for me. No, there is no need for the great priest to waste manpower and material resources. I am here to visit your old friend! "

Kotos wasn't angry either, and just looked at the young man who had just stepped down from the helm of the second department with a half-smile: "Since you said you are an old friend, let's keep it clear, Li Yundao, say Tell me, what are your plans for risking your life to go to the island this time?"

Li Yundao smiled slightly and said: "Dear Your Excellency the Great Priest, I boarded our ancient Sicily Island with the most sincere respect. My personal admiration for His Majesty the Holy Emperor is like the waves of the river..."

"Stop!" Kotos showed a helpless smile, "Others don't know who you are, Li Yundao, and my Foreign Affairs Office, as the organization that has the most contact with the outside world, wouldn't you know what kind of person you are Special Envoy Li?" figure!"

Li Yundao bowed slightly and said: "Recently, I am quite confused about myself. I don't know who I am, so I ask Your Excellency the Great Priest to clarify my confusion!"

Kotos stood up from the throne, and said with a faint smile: "Li Yundao, the Chinese call you the 'King of Hades', and the people in my holy religion call you the 'Death God', you are like the plague, wherever you go, there will be Corpses are everywhere!"

Chapter 262 A nobleman emerges from the ravine

Not long after the old and the young walked out of the temple, a group of guards came to meet them. The iris logo on the capes behind the guards was particularly eye-catching.The head of the guard of the Foreign Affairs Office bowed to the boss Creos, and then looked at Li Yundao with vigilance and vigilance: "Come with us!" After saying that, several people stepped forward and surrounded Li Yundao, as if I'm afraid that if one is not careful, the intelligence leader of the enemy country will get oil on his feet.

Li Yundao looked at Creos and said, "Master of the Foreign Affairs Office, you don't have to accompany me. Since he has prepared the manor for you, you should go early!" Then he turned to the guard leader and said, "Let's go. , I haven't seen your great priest for a long time, I don't know if this meeting will be a surprise."

The leader of the guard frowned slightly, but he never said anything after all. When he left, he saluted the stooped old man again, and then "destroyed" the legendary Chinese "God of Death" all the way to the Foreign Affairs Office.

Twelve guards formed a phalanx, surrounded Li Yundao and the leader of the rear guard, and moved forward slowly.Li Yundao looked at the guards one by one, and finally said with his tongue: "Is this the core combat force at the center of your foreign affairs office? Several of them, I guess, were injured the night before, but Even so, the combat power is comparable to the Golden Knights under Aldous's command! Not bad, I didn't expect that old magic stick of Kotos to be able to control it well, and I'm afraid it will take you to build your core force. It took a lot of thought!"

The leader of the guard who walked shoulder to shoulder with him was amazed, but he could tell at a glance the combat strength of this guard team, and he also knew that someone had been injured a few days ago. It seems that there must be something special about the name "Death" by the people of the Holy Church.However, thinking of the high priest repeatedly asking him to politely invite the person back from the entrance of the temple, he felt a little relieved. Earlier, the high priest Kotos almost gave the death order for the center to take the person's life. But ever since he knew that this person had been summoned by His Majesty the Holy Emperor, the great priest's attitude had changed 180 degrees.At the beginning, as the leader of the most powerful guard team in the Foreign Affairs Office, he was a little bit aggrieved, but after seeing this person, he already faintly felt the extraordinaryness of the other person, but this person who faced the test of life and death was still personable. Courage is no longer comparable to ordinary people.

"The Great Priest is waiting for us." The guard leader answered irrelevantly, but raised his voice and told the surrounding subordinates, "Quicker, don't make the Great Priest Kotos wait!" His words were aimed at the people below, It was also for Li Yundao, and even more so for those eyes staring at this place secretly—since they met the two of them in front of the temple just now, he has already felt that there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him at this moment Well, the current situation on the island is particularly treacherous, and the uninvited arrival of the Huaxia envoy is naturally the focus of attention of all parties.

"What's your name?" Li Yundao glanced at the handsome guard leader beside him, and asked, "I've seen quite a few people from your Holy Cult, and with your appearance, I'm afraid that apart from your great adjudicating priest, this island belongs to You are the most beautiful looking!"

The leader of the army was a little dumbfounded, but he still frowned and said, "I am Biya, the commander of the guards at the center."

Li Yundao was stunned: "Oh, no wonder, it's you!"

The guard leader who claimed to be Biya was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "You...you know me?"

Li Yundao made a secretive expression to him, and then changed the subject: "Let's go, don't make your great priest wait too long, I remember that he is not a very patient person."

Biya, the commander of the guards, felt baffled, and stopped communicating with the legendary Chinese "Reaper" after that. Following countless gazes, a group of people came to the door of the Foreign Affairs Office.

A huge olive branch made of copper and a giant battle ax of the same texture symbolize the foreign strategy of one hand with a carrot and the other with a big stick.

Standing under the ten-meter-high copper sculpture, Li Yundao blocked the sunlight with his hands and looked up. He squinted his eyes slightly and said, "It's a strategy of being soft with one hand and hard with the other, which is in line with dialectics."

The commander of the guards, Biya, was afraid that some unruly words he said in front of the foreign affairs hall would spread out and prevent the high priest Kotos from stepping down, so he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "The high priest is in the main hall."

"Main hall?" Li Yundao snorted, and said, "This is not good, after all, I haven't officially landed on the island yet!"

When the guard leader Biya was in a dilemma, a guard also wearing an iris cloak quickly stepped down from the high steps, walked up to the two of them, and said loudly: "The great priest ordered that since His Majesty has approved Naturally, the Foreign Affairs Office has no objection to the special envoy's landing on the island, and invited the special envoy into the palace to discuss the plan for peace negotiations."

Li Yundao smiled and said: "The status of the great priest is indeed as high as that of His Majesty the Holy Emperor!"

As soon as this remark came out, both the guard leader Biya and the guard who came out to deliver the message were shocked, and they looked around subconsciously. At this time, there were people coming and going in front of the main hall. I don’t know how many people heard these words. , If it reaches the ears of that temple, I am afraid it will be another bloodbath.

"Special envoy, please be careful!" Biya, the commander of the guards, hurriedly said, "If you have anything to say, we will discuss it in the hall!"

Li Yundao seemed to have just recovered, looked around vigilantly, and blamed himself: "Yes, yes, we should discuss these things in the main hall! Let's go, I want to meet my old friend, Shancheng Farewell, I don’t know if you will be safe or not!”

In the deliberation hall of the temple, information about Li Yundao's every move after he left began to gather in a steady stream. Finally, the words about "pattern" and "discussion after entering the hall" were presented in a bright yellow robe in less than 2 minutes. in front of the old man's case.

The person who sent these two messages bowed in front of the old man and dared not straighten up for a long time.

The skinny old man was still sitting on the golden throne, and after reading the two pieces of information, a slight smile rose from the corner of his lips: "Why, do you even question the loyalty of our high priest Kotos? Don't worry. Well, what the Huaxia people did was my plan to sow discord, so I can't tell the difference? Then Li Yundao dares to use some of Li Yundao's little tricks on this island, isn't he afraid of making people laugh?"

The person who sent the letter was slightly relieved, and was about to stand up straight, but he heard the old man say: "But our High Priest Kotos is indeed very tall, do you think that the structure of the Great Priest, Even a little bit taller than me sitting on the golden throne?"

the messenger

His body trembled, and he knelt down on the ground with a thump, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty is so far-sighted, how can a small and big priest be comparable!"

The old man laughed loudly: "Get up, don't be afraid, God will take care of you loyal believers."

The forehead of the messenger was pressed against the cold marble: "Your Majesty is holy!"

"Go! Let them all keep an eye on it. If there is any news like this, it would be great to pass it back immediately." The old man waved his hand. As if the man had been pardoned, when he walked out of the meeting room, he found that his back was wet. Blockbuster.

The so-called companionship is like companionship with a tiger, nothing more than this.

After the person who sent the letter left the meeting room, the smile on the old man's face gradually faded, and then became more dignified. His eyes fell on the few lines of dialogue, and finally fixed on the word "pattern", and then there was a strong look in his eyes. With a look of disgust, he finally kneaded the papers together, got up and threw them into the fireplace beside him. With a "sudden" sound, the flame ignited, and those papers written about the various conversations between the old man and Li Yundao's back palace were turned into a handful of ashes.

Standing in front of the fireplace, the old man looked at the flickering coals, his eyes became more and more cloudy, and finally he muttered to himself: "One by one, the pattern is very high!"

Li Yundao called the "very high-level" chief priest of the foreign affairs office sitting slantedly on the top chair. As a special envoy, Li Yundao was allowed to talk to the chief priest on the long steps nine steps away.

Li Yundao looked down at the scalp-numbingly long stairs, and said with a smile: "I said, great priest, you guys are doing a good job. You climb the steps every day to go to work, so you don't have to exercise your body! I'm afraid it will be a little uncomfortable at this age." It’s so convenient! I don’t know how your Holy Emperor walks up to the golden throne every day!”

Kotos looked at the young Chinese man on the platform below the steps with a half-smile, and said, "Farewell to the mountain city, you are indeed more cunning than the last time we met!"

Li Yundao chuckled: "The great priest has won the award! I heard that my old friend misses me a lot and sent people all over the island to look for me. No, there is no need for the great priest to waste manpower and material resources. I am here to visit your old friend! "

Kotos wasn't angry either, and just looked at the young man who had just stepped down from the helm of the second department with a half-smile: "Since you said you are an old friend, let's keep it clear, Li Yundao, say Tell me, what are your plans for risking your life to go to the island this time?"

Li Yundao smiled slightly and said: "Dear Your Excellency the Great Priest, I boarded our ancient Sicily Island with the most sincere respect. My personal admiration for His Majesty the Holy Emperor is like the waves of the river..."

"Stop!" Kotos showed a helpless smile, "Others don't know who you are, Li Yundao, and my Foreign Affairs Office, as the organization that has the most contact with the outside world, wouldn't you know what kind of person you are Special Envoy Li?" figure!"

Li Yundao bowed slightly and said: "Recently, I am quite confused about myself. I don't know who I am, so I ask Your Excellency the Great Priest to clarify my confusion!"

Kotos stood up from the throne, and said with a faint smile: "Li Yundao, the Chinese call you the 'King of Hades', and the people in my holy religion call you the 'Death God', you are like the plague, wherever you go, there will be Corpses are everywhere!"

Chapter 263 Li Daoling Shocked

In the evening, the waiter Yu and Zheng Biejia were arranged to rest in the Taoist temple.

As for the rest of the people, they are basically arranged for each family in the village. After all, this is a mountain country, and there are no guest houses to live in. It is good to have a place to settle down.

"Father, Auntie, you are noble people now, and you will not be able to work in the fields in the future, otherwise, you will be sorry for your noble status."

Before going to bed, Xiaohua happily said to her parents.

"Why are noble people not noble people? What do you eat if you don't work? Your father and I don't look like noble people. We have to do what we should do in the future."

Xiu didn't have that kind of concept, and she didn't agree with what her daughter said at all, at least for now.

Xiuzi thinks that she is a farmer, so the work she should do is naturally indispensable, and she has to work in the field, what should be done or what should be done, and what kind of noble person is there.

"That's right, what your aunt said is right. The school captain's Zhao Xun, which was awarded by the emperor, can't be eaten. We are peasants, so we can't mess with our roots."

Zhong Mugen on the side hugged Zhong Wu and responded casually.

"Auntie, look, it's written in the imperial decree. In the future, Auntie will be a noble person with a salary; besides, didn't Daoist Li say before he left that Auntie was granted a title by the sage. , It’s much higher than the honorary title you conferred on you, Dad.”

"No matter how old you are, you still have to eat, you have to pay food taxes, what kind of salary is not a salary, we are farmers, we must not forget our roots."

"Your mother is right. We must not forget our origin. We are farmers. How can we get the salary in our turn?"

Zhong Mugen and his wife didn't have that kind of thinking at all. In the eyes of the two of them, they are not as precious as a stone of rice.

"Father and mother, brother paid for it with his own life. The salary must be paid. If you don't want it, I will be sorry for you."

Xiao Hua objected.

I can't say no to the things my brother bought with his life in Chang'an, my parents don't know that much, and they have the thoughts of peasants in their hearts, and they don't cause trouble, and they don't cause trouble. that class.

What kind of nobleman, what kind of lord, what kind of salary, for the two of them, they don't have that kind of consciousness at all.

"Oh, I don't know if Xiaowen's injury has healed."

"My son, he suffered such a serious injury, woo woo woo."

When Xiaohua talked about the rewards that her elder brother brought with her life, Zhong Mugen and his wife immediately became sad, and Xiu even started to cover her face and cry.

It is said that in the Longquan Temple at this time, Li Daoling sat opposite to the servants from Chang'an, who came from Chang'an City.

"Tell me something about Jiushou's recent situation in Chang'an."

Li Daoling dragged Yu Neishi and the others to live in the temple, naturally he had some questions to ask, what he most wanted to know must be some things about his disciples in Chang'an.

Of course, he also wanted to know some specific news about the turmoil in Chang'an City. After all, his disciple was seriously injured.

"Really Li, the Nine-headed Daoist has been studying medicine in Chang'an, and every medical center goes to study medicine. Moreover, in Chang'an City, the reputation of the Taoist priest can be said to be extremely popular."

"Study medicine? Well, that's a good thing, what else?"

"The reputation of the little Taoist leader, at least many people in Chang'an City knew about it. Later, some coveted people started to contact the little Taoist leader, and then..."

As Yu Neishi went further, Li Daoling became more and more startled after hearing this.

Until later, hundreds of thousands of people besieged Miyagi, which made him almost jump up.

If this happened in a period of war, it would be understandable, but now, the world is peaceful, and there are still people who want to overthrow the world.

"Xiao Daoist was fighting against two super masters at that time. I heard some people in the palace say that those two super masters were innate. The corner watched the fight."

"The scene at that time was as bad as it could be. Even the Holy Majesty was stabbed, and the shadow rarely appeared. In a three-on-two situation, the Taoist leader fought two masters with one manpower, and the shocking Heaven and earth, weeping ghosts and gods."

The waiter Yu closed his eyes slightly, recalling the scene at that time. Up to now, he has not recovered, and his heart is still beating fast.

"What happened next, you continue to talk, don't stop."

After Li Daoling heard this, his heart was agitated.

Although he doesn't know how powerful this innate realm is, he still knows about shadows, but he doesn't know how powerful shadows are.

But after thinking about it carefully, I think it is impossible to beat the shadow's skill. After all, it is like the patron saint of Miyagi. The matter is left to the shadow.

"Yes, Master Li."

After the waiter Yu came to his senses, he knew in his heart that it was probably because Li Zhenren in front of him was worried about his disciple that he was so eager.

"At that time, the little Daoist was fighting with those two super masters from the Western Regions, and it was really dangerous. According to me, a person who doesn't understand martial arts, the little Daoist was suppressed by those two masters and had to swing his sword to resist. The little Taoist leader who has been at a disadvantage, for some reason, a spy among the forbidden army raised his hand and gave the little Taoist leader a crossbow arrow.

Following the memory of the servant in the house, there were two more guards interjecting to repeat, Li Daoling finally knew what happened to his disciple in Chang'an, and even more, how did his disciple's injury come about. .

At this time, Li Daoling couldn't imagine the scene at that time.

However, even if he couldn't imagine it, he could still understand the choice his disciple made at that time.

He was wounded by an arrow, and then he was wounded by the man from the Western Regions, which made Li Daoling's heart suddenly tugged.

Fortunately, according to what the servant said, although his disciple was seriously injured, he also injured a person from the Western Regions.

As for that shadow, he also killed a master at that time, so that he saved his disciple's life, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"It's fine, it's fine."

After Li Daoling listened to the retelling by the waiter Yu and the others, he suppressed his beating heart, took a breath, and calmed himself down a little.

Far away in Chang'an City, the masters his disciples encountered really shocked him beyond measure. At least, he had never met, and never imagined, that there were such powerful masters in this world.

Although I think my skills are pretty good, even though I can't beat my disciples, I also feel that there should not be so many masters in this world.

But now, after hearing such things, in addition to shocking him, it was more trembling, and the agitation in his heart was hard to calm down.

A master in the innate realm, moreover, one of his disciples can hit two, and he can even injure one. Although his disciple was seriously injured, but after hearing what the servant said, the master who was injured by his disciple is probably also seriously injured.

"By the way, there is another person in Chang'an in my view. His name is Chen Feng. Did he participate in it?"

Li Daoling suddenly thought, Zhong Wen was injured, so Chen Feng must be taking care of Zhong Wen.

"Chen Feng? I haven't heard of it. The Taoist leader is accompanied by a man named Jin Shui. I haven't heard of anyone else."

Listening to Li Daoling's words, Yu Neishi was a little surprised.

As far as he knew, Zhong Wen had been living in a guest house. In the early days, he went to various medical clinics to study medicine every day, with only one person named Jin Shui following him.

But today, listening to what Li Daoling said, there is still one person in Longquan Temple in Chang'an, but I have never heard of it.

"Haven't heard of it?"

After Li Daoling heard about it, he was also puzzled.

According to his understanding, Zhong Wen must be with Chen Feng, but now, he has not heard from Chen Feng, which makes him not understand the situation.

"Back to Daoist Li, the little Taoist leader. As far as I know, there seems to be no one named Chen Feng."

The waiter Yu responded affirmatively.

"Where did Chen Feng go? If he's not in Chang'an, where can he go?"

Li Daoling thought about the direction Chen Feng was going to, if it wasn't Chang'an, there would basically be no place, at least, according to Li Daoling's understanding of Chen Feng, that was basically the case.

"Could it be that something happened to Chen Feng? Or something else?"

Li Daoling thought about any situation Chen Feng encountered, and guessed every possible possibility.
