The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

"My lord, why don't I go and chase the Ninth Daoist back?"

Shadow also felt a little surprised when he heard that Zhong Wen had left Chang'an. At least, he also thought that why Zhong Wen would come to report to Li Shimin before leaving.

Regardless of whether you are leaving or why you are going, as a county lord, you should report to the current sage, otherwise, there will be other things going on here, and everything will be messed up.

But now it's really messed up.

Zhong Wen really didn't care much about his status as a county marquis. He was all about doing the things of the Taoist and following the words of the Taoist, and he didn't care much about the things of the Lord.

Yes, of course it is the best, no, it is also a mentality that doesn't matter.

"Li Shan, you go down first."

Li Shimin was very tired, he really didn't know what to do with Zhong Wen when faced with such an incomprehensible and ignorant county marquis.

"Shadow, look, Jiushou and the others are planning to leave Chang'an and return to Lizhou?"

Li Shimin asked the shadow.

"According to what Li Shan said, I think it should be."

"Shadow, follow along all the way to see who you will meet on this road in Jiushou. According to their direction, you should reach Shangluo. You can return after you arrive at Shangluo."

After thinking about it for a while, Li Shimin made the decision to let Ying follow Zhong Wen and his brothers, hoping to see who Zhong Wen would meet on this journey.

At least, he wanted to find out why Zhong Wen left Chang'an suddenly. Similarly, he also wanted to know if Zhong Wen had made friends with some other Taoists or someone.

As for his thoughts at this time, it is estimated that only he himself knows. On the other hand, after listening to Li Shimin's order, he left directly without admonishing Li Shimin.

However, Shadow didn't leave Miyagi directly, instead he called Li Shan over and asked some questions before leaving Miyagi.

"Let me ask the two of you, why did the Nine-Shouted Daoist suddenly leave Chang'an? I think the two of you should know about it?"

Although the shadow had already left Miyagi, he did not catch up with Zhong Wen in a straight line. Instead, he came to the Huilai Guest House in Changshou Fang, and started questioning Jinshui and Xu Fu.

"The Taoist chief and his senior brothers said that they have been away from home for more than half a year, and they want to go back as soon as possible. As for the others, they didn't say anything. They just let us manage this inn in Chang'an City."

After Jin Shui saw that it was a shadow, he was afraid and reported the truth to the shadow.

After hearing this, Shadow didn't ask any more questions, and left the inn, asked for a horse, and walked slowly towards the east gate of Chang'an City.

2 Chapter Eighty

It is said that Zhong Wen and his brothers at this time seemed very carefree all the way. When they were heading towards Lantian County, Chen Feng did not forget to sing a few words.

The two brothers, both of them, have nothing to worry about. It's hard to say whether they will come back after leaving Chang'an this time.

At least, Chen Feng estimated that it would be difficult for him to come to Chang'an again, because he didn't like Chang'an at first, let alone come again next time.

As for Zhong Wen, he probably will come back, but it is definitely impossible to return to Chang'an in a short time.

For this trip, the two of them got to stay at Yiyang Temple in Lantian County today.

After all, Zhang Chong, Daoist Zhang, and Zhong Wen had to take Chen Feng to meet him. At least, this was also a friendship, and it was also a farewell to Daoist Zhang.

If you pass by someone's boundary, you have to pay a visit no matter what, otherwise, the etiquette will be somewhat lost. If you really want to go back to Longquan Temple, Li Daoling will know about it, so you have to scold Zhong Wen for a few days.

At noon, Zhong Wen and the others arrived at Lantian County, and then they went to Yiyang Temple again.

"Uncle Chen, this is the Yiyang Temple. The idea of ​​Yiyang Temple is against Daoist Zhang. He is an old friend of the master. At the end of last year, I came here to pay a visit. Bringing Uncle Chen here this time is also a way for you to recognize him." If Uncle Chen passes through Lantian County in the future, he can also come and pay a visit to Daoist Zhang."

As soon as the carriage arrived at Yiyang Temple, Zhong Wen introduced it to Chen Feng.

"The owner of this Yangguan is an old friend of the master? Then he must come to pay a visit to the first-timer."

After hearing Zhong Wen's words, Chen Feng understood in his heart.

Afterwards, the two knocked on the door of Yiyang Temple.

But at this moment, when the seven people walked to the Taiyi Gate, where the Taiyi Gate sect was located, they saw the current scene of the Taiyi Gate, and they were so shocked that they immediately became angry.

And these people are all from the Taiyi Sect.

Among them, Zhuo Cheng, the suzerain of the Taiyi Sect, his younger brother Ye Dingsong, another old man, and four others also belonged to the Taiyi Sect.

However, these four people are not very old, the oldest one is estimated to be less than sixty, and the other three are even younger.

"Who is it, who destroyed my sect, ah..."

Zhuo Cheng looked at the Taiyi Gate in front of him, and the anger in his heart was already at its peak.

This is the painstaking effort of his Taiyi Sect, and this is also the land of his Taiyi Sect's sect. After thousands of years of inheritance, it has become like this now, and the cry of grief has already overwhelmed the sky.

"A Cheng, Xiao Yu, Mo Lin,..."

Seven people rushed into the Taiyi Gate, and began to call the names of people they knew well.

However, when they saw the corpse, the grief was even more beyond words to describe them at this time.

"Ah, I want to kill him, I want to kill him, it must be the remnants of the Taiyi Sect, I must kill him, I want to destroy the Taiyi Sect."

"Tai Yi Sect, if you don't avenge this revenge, you swear you won't be a human being!"

"Tai Yi Sect,..."

"..."

Everyone already knew what they should do in the future, and even those disciples who were in the acquired realm understood their mission in the future.

Among the Taiyi Sect members who died, there were his senior brothers, his own relatives, and even his own brothers.

Afterwards, the seven people began to help the disciples who had died for several days to tidy up their appearance, and began to dig earth pits in this Taiyi Gate, and buried them on the spot.

In the middle of the night, all the people who were killed by Zhong Wen in the Taiyi Gate were buried.

In front of each grave, there is no tombstone, only a slightly larger stone, erected at the front, with everyone's name written on it.

As for the wooden boards, they had already been burnt up, so where can I find a wooden board.

Zhong Wen had shown mercy to the Taiyi Gate by not burning these people, how could there be half a piece of wood left behind.

After everything was over, the old man asked Zhuo Cheng, "Sect Master, what should we do next?"

"Guardian, the sect has been destroyed now, and this place is no longer the sect's place. We will head to Chang'an tomorrow morning."

Zhuo Cheng looked at the current Taiyi Gate, made up his mind, and responded to the old man.

And that old man is the Dharma protector of Taiyi Sect, his seniority is even higher than that of Zhuo Cheng, but he is not from the direct line, so he can only live as a Dharma protector.

Of course, it is basically the same in all major sects. If one cannot be the suzerain, one must either become a Dharma protector or an elder.

Just like that Ye Dingsong, in the future, he will become the elder of Taiyi Sect.

The protector of the Taiyi Gate, whose Dao name is Zhenyuanzi, and whose name is Luo Xu, is the third innate realm master of the Taiyi Gate.

Few outsiders know about Zhenyuanzi Luo Xu's skills. They only know that he is an innate master. Outsiders have never seen him fight, so it is impossible to estimate his skills.

Moreover, this Luo Xu has not been in the Taiyi Sect for many years. As for what he has gone to, it is estimated that only a few senior officials of the Taiyi Sect know about it.

And just half a month ago, Zhuo Cheng, the suzerain of Taiyi Sect, brought his junior brother Ye Dingsong to find Luo Xu, and only then did he know about the sect.

As for Ye Dingsong, the arm that was cut off by Zhong Wen earlier has also been taken back, but it seems that it is not as good as before, and it seems a little stiff.

"Brother, when I arrive in Chang'an, I will definitely kill the remnants of the Taiyi sect with a single sword, so as to avenge me, and even my sect. Waiter, when you arrive in Chang'an tomorrow, let us know, Where does the little Taoist priest named Jiushou live, so that we can do things."

Although Ye Dingsong's arm was broken by Zhong Wen, his spirit is still in good health. As for whether his physical strength has declined, that's for sure.

Of course, if Ye Dingsong practiced the one-armed left-handed sword, then his skill probably wouldn't drop much, but if he practiced the right-handed sword habitually like a normal person, then Ye Dingsong's skill is probably not good enough. At least it has to go down a lot.

"Yes, Master."

After hearing Ye Dingsong's words, the man named servant immediately clapped his hands in response.

The servant is Ye Dingsong's disciple. He looks about 40 years old and travels all the year round for news, so he spends less time in the Taiyi Sect.

But now, the sect he belongs to has been destroyed, and he has no right to decide whether to go or stay in the future, so he has to obey orders.

As for what to do after going to Chang'an, he also has some concerns in his mind, after all, he found out the news about Jiu Shou and Chen Feng in Chang'an.

In the early morning of the second day, the people who belonged to the Taiyi Gate began to head for Chang'an City.

However, before they left the Taiyi Sect's original sect, they left some marks everywhere, so that the outsiders of the Taiyi Sect could look for them after seeing the marks they left.

"Sect Master, Master, Dharma Protector, Chang'an City is here, shall we go directly to the inn, or where?"

When the seven people from Taiyi Gate came outside the south gate of Chang'an City, the servant asked Zhuo Cheng and the others.

"Go directly to the inn. Be careful for a while, don't be careless. That person is also a master of the innate realm, so don't follow his way."

In Zhuo Cheng's eyes at this time, there was only hatred, and he didn't care whether this was Chang'an or his Taiyi Gate.

"Yes, Sect Master."

After everyone replied, they began to enter the city of Chang'an.

"Sovereign, that inn is the inn called Huilai. The little Taoist priest named Jiushou usually lives in that inn."

The group of them entered Changshou Fang not long after, and the waiter pointed to Huilai Guest House not far away, and introduced to Zhuo Cheng and the others.

It is said that Huilai is in the guest house at this time.

"His Royal Highness, the Taoist priest left yesterday, is there anything important for you to come to the guest house? If you want to fry dishes or something, Xu Fu is also fine."

At this moment, Jin Shui is dealing with Yue Wang Li Qingque who came to Huilai Guest House.

Speaking of Li Qingque, I don't know what happened today, but suddenly came to the Huilai guest house, probably because he wanted Zhong Wen to cook a few dishes for him.

However, this time he didn't come to Huilai Inn alone, but Li Shan came with Li Qingque.

"The Taoist priest has left Chang'an. I have already heard from Commander Li. By the way, your name is Xu Fu, right? Last time, you know the dishes that the Taoist priest cooked?"

That's right, when Li Qingque came here this time, he really wanted Zhong Wen to cook a few delicious dishes for him again, so that he could bring them into Miyagi and feed them to his mother.

Ever since Li Qingque asked Zhong Wen to fry a few dishes last time and was brought into the palace by him, his mother had a great appetite and praised Li Qingque for his filial piety, even Li Shimin praised him for several days.

But in the past few days, the eldest grandson empress in the palace city suddenly felt unwell and lost her appetite. Li Qingque was concerned about her mother, that's why she came to Huilai guesthouse today.

As for Zhong Wen's departure from Chang'an, Li Shan had already informed him when he was heading towards the inn.

However, he, Li Qingque, did not give up on his trip, and still came to Huilai guest house.

"Going back to His Royal Highness, the young one knows how to fry, but the taste is not as good as the dishes cooked by the Taoist priest. If His Royal Highness does not give up, then the young one will go to help His Royal Highness fry dishes."

Xu Fu responded with trepidation.

"Go ahead, go faster."

It doesn't matter to Li Qingque, let's fry the dishes first, if it doesn't suit your taste, then you can only give up.

Afterwards, Xu Fu and Jin Shui hurried to the back kitchen and began to help Li Qingque fry the dishes he needed.

"Sovereign, this is here."

Just when Li Qingque and the others were about to sit in the lobby and wait for a while, the seven people from Taiyi Sect all arrived outside the gate of the guest house.

"Who are you?"

At this moment, Li Shan saw the people from the Taiyi Gate outside the gate of the inn, and felt puzzled.

But looking at these people's ordinary well-dressed clothes, he also knew that these people were people who walked in the rivers and lakes, and Li Shan also faintly felt a murderous aura from these people.

"Where is that little Taoist priest, hurry up and die."

Zhuo Cheng didn't notice Zhong Wen's figure, but saw a few guards in military uniforms sitting in the lobby, and Li Shan and others standing there.

Immediately afterwards, he yelled loudly into the guest house.

"Who are you? There are no little Taoist priests here, to protect His Highness the King of Yue."

After hearing the words, Li Shan's heart trembled, knowing that these people might have come to look for Zhong Wen, he was shocked, and hurriedly took his horse in his hand from not far away.

"We are from the Taiyi Sect. This time we are here to find a little Taoist priest named Jiushou. You are the royal palace guard, so please don't get involved. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unruly at the Taiyi Sect."

Zhuo Cheng looked at Li Shan and his outfits, and heard Li Shan yelling to protect His Royal Highness Yue Wang, and then he understood that the little Taoist might have friendship with these people.

"Taiyi Gate! How many of you have come to look for the little Taoist leader? It seems that they are here to seek revenge? However, the little Taoist leader has already left Chang'an City, so your Excellency should leave quickly, otherwise, if the imperial army arrives soon, you are afraid It's not good to go."

Li Shan was extremely nervous, and he also felt the murderous aura emanating from those old men outside the gate, probably the masters of the innate realm.

But whether he is nervous or afraid, he can't back down. Behind him, there is Li Shimin's son. If he is not well protected, then Li Shan will be dereliction of duty. The dereliction of duty is a small matter. big.

"Leaving Chang'an? Who are you?"

Zhuo Cheng didn't know, and asked Li Shan sharply.

"I am Li Shan, the deputy commander of the palace guards. Behind me is the heir of the current emperor, His Highness the King of Yue. If you don't want to make things big, please leave immediately."
