The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

"Oh? The matter of the three major sects of Zhongnan Mountain? The king's servant, then please tell me."

At this time, Zhong Wen heard about the three major sects of Zhongnan Mountain, so he quickly corrected himself and waited for the servant Wang to clarify his doubts.

"Speaking of which, I'm the only one who can relay this news to you. It's inconvenient for Ying to leave Chang'an for a long time, and Li Shan is going to guard Miyagi again. Jiang Nei is serving him. You should be able to guess a little bit."

Wang's attendant talked about the candidates coming to Lizhou, but he didn't speak bluntly about the news of the three major sects of Zhongnan Mountain, so he rushed Zhong Wen to the front

"Although I don't know about that servant Jiang, I think he will leave Chang'an, after all..."

"Chang'an won't leave. It's just that there are some things that he doesn't want to get involved too much. On the contrary, it's you, the Holy One is very fancy. If you return to Chang'an one day, you can't leave it alone." Forget about my old friend."

"What virtue and ability do I have for the small way? Would your royal servant not know? I'm just an ordinary Taoist. If the Holy Majesty hadn't conferred a knighthood, I would still be that little Taoist priest. I can't stand the praise of the Holy Majesty and the royal servant."

"Jiu-shou Xiaodao, you are too modest. If you were not there for the Miyagi incident that day, I might have died on the spot. However, if the Jiu-shou Xiaodao is free, can you give me some advice? I can do a few tricks so that my skills can improve."

"Wang's servant was joking. Xiaodao is only half a bucket of water. I can't get up or down. It's useless to face those masters."

At this time, Zhong Wen finally knew that the royal servant in front of him had delayed telling the purpose of his trip, but wanted to give him some advice.

Although Wang's servant's skill is higher than Li Shan's, he still does not belong to the congenital realm.

At this time, Zhong Wen was also thinking about whether this royal servant was worth handing over. After all, with the existence of the old servant Jiang Wei, who knew what the identity behind this royal servant was.

It is not a big mistake to be careful, even if the king's servant is Li Shimin's person, Zhong Wen may not be able to fully believe it, even if it is a shadow, Zhong Wen will still be careful.

Zhong Wen knew in his heart that he was the pillar of the Taiyi Sect, if he really died, the Taiyi Sect and Longquan Temple would collapse directly.

Zhong Wen knew exactly how many lives he had carried on his body.

At this time, Wang's servant, looking at Zhong Wen in front of him, was also thinking.

His understanding of Zhong Wen was limited to after the Miyagi incident. Relatively speaking, the intersection of the two was much less than that of Li Shan.

Of course, Wang's servant still looked up to Zhong Wen as an innate master. After all, martial arts practitioners, who wouldn't want to have that level of skill.

And following his probing inside and outside the words, he didn't get Zhong Wen's promise, and he felt a little helpless in his heart. After all, not everyone would agree to giving advice.

"Wang's servant, when I return to Chang'an someday, if I have free time, you and I can do some tricks, what do you think?" Zhong Wen saw the helpless look on Wang's servant's face, and then said.

"That's very good, then I would like to thank Xiaodao Master here." Wang's servant was very happy when he heard Zhong Wen's words when he was still helpless just now.

What is it called?Is this called another village?

"Wang's servant is too polite. I don't know if His Majesty wants Wang's servant to come to Lizhou to tell me what the three major sects of Zhongnan Mountain are? Please also ask Wang's servant to tell me." What Wang's servant is asking for has been defined, and Zhong Wen is naturally Need to know about the three sects of Zhongnan Mountain.

At this time, what the king's servant asked for was answered, and his wish was fulfilled.

As for the matter of the three major sects of Zhongnan Mountain, even if Zhong Wen refused to give him some advice, he still had to tell Zhong Wen about the three major sects of Zhongnan Mountain, otherwise, why did he come to Lizhou?

"Master Nine Heads, I don't know much about the three sects of Zhongnan Mountain. Here is a piece of something that was given to me by His Majesty. According to His Majesty's words, it was given to His Majesty by a shadow. You can tell when you look at it." The servant took out some papers from his pocket and handed them to Zhong Wen.

Zhong Wen took the paper handed over by Wang's servant, opened it, and began to examine it under the moonlight.

On the paper, there are things about Zhongnanshan Taixu Sect and Taizong Sect written.

From top to bottom, whether it is the suzerain or the guardian elders, there are introductions.

Although it is simple, it is the best information for Zhong Wen. After all, Zhong Wen is very at a loss about the other two sects.

And this information can be said to let Zhong Wen understand the strength of the two major sects of Taixu and Taizong, and let Zhong Wen know how many masters and disciples there are in these two major sects.

Although the figures on the paper need to be studied, they are still of great help to Zhong Wen.

Besides, Zhong Wen has never even met people from those two sects, so if he wants to find them by himself, it is probably tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

As Zhong Wen flipped through the pages until the last two sheets of paper, after Zhong Wen glanced down, a thought of wanting to open Lizhou began to arise in his heart.

Why?

Because the last two pieces of paper are no longer the introductions of the two sects, but the locations of the two sects.

The drawing is very simple, if Zhong Wen has never looked at the pictures drawn by his master, maybe he really doesn't know where the pictures are drawn.

The original location of Taiyi Gate is almost in Xunshui, and similarly, it is also close to Ziwu Valley, at the end of Zhongnan Mountain.

According to Zhong Wen's estimate, the location of the Taixu Gate should be in the upper reaches of the Luoshui River, not far from Taibai Mountain, so it can be said to be in the middle of Zhongnan Mountain.

As for the Taizong Sect, it was beyond Zhong Wen's expectation that it was near Gudaoshui in the upper reaches of Jialing River.

Zhongnan Mountain's three major sects are divided into lands from west to east, which really made Zhong Wen miscalculate the location of these three major sects at first.

Zhong Wen originally thought that the locations and distances of these three major sects would not be too far apart. After all, these three major sects originated from the same lineage, but now looking at this picture, Zhong Wen knew that he At that time, I thought about it.

"Many thanks to the servant of the king." After Zhong Wen put away the paper, he stood up and gave a doorway to the servant of the king, which can be regarded as thanking the servant of the king for helping him deliver the letter.

"You are too polite, my lord. Your Majesty also asked me to tell you that you must not rush into matters of enmity between teachers and sects. If you have any needs, you can write to let me know." Wang's servant waved his hand and repeated Li Shimin's words again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhong Wen understood that this was what Li Shimin meant, and then, he cupped his hands in the direction of Chang'an to show his thanks.

ps: Thank you Kanzaki Kaori for tipping 100 coins, 100 coins for one person staying alone by the Wangchuan River, happy cultivating immortals! ! 500 coins, 100 coins from saynol, thank you!

Chapter 331 Mission Returns to Longquan

The two sat in the octagonal pavilion, and after chatting for a while, they didn't leave until late at night.

But when Zhong Wen returned to the house, he couldn't calm down.

After receiving the news brought to him by the servant Wang, Zhong Wen couldn't calm down anymore.

In the past, because he didn't know the location of the other two sects in Zhongnan Mountain, but after knowing it today, Zhong Wen'an's heart became active again.

In the past six months, Zhong Wenda returned to Lizhou from Chang'an.

The days I lived became more and more comfortable, and I never even had the chance to make a move.

Although the practice of kungfu has never stopped every day, as a martial arts practitioner, of course, he wants to compete with masters every day.

At least, this can also improve the experience of fighting and fighting, as well as some awareness of other martial arts and swordsmanship.

The inheritance of Taiyi Sect is not as perfect as that of others, and some inheritances have been broken.

If every generation of the Shimen hadn't tried their best to save the Taiyi Sect, the Taiyi Sect might have disappeared under the wheel of history.

In the early morning of the second day, after Zhong Wen arrived at the government office, he began to accompany the officials of these missions and began to check the government affairs of Lizhou.

Zheng Zhi and the others handled it with ease, but Zhong Wen, on the other hand, seemed like an idler.

As for the fact that these missions came to Lizhou for inspection, Zhong Wen had never been an official, and he didn't know what these officials wanted to see or what they were going to do.

On the contrary, it was Zheng Zhi, an old official, who was very courageous and familiar with the officials of these missions.

"Don't drive Zheng, may I ask, how are the former officials in Lizhou now?" Qi Hui, the doctor of the examination department of the Ministry of Officials, suddenly asked Zheng Zhi about He Zheng and the others.

"Returning to Shangguan, all the original officials in the counties of Lizhou were temporarily imprisoned in various prisons for crimes such as corruption and breaking the law. It has been almost half a year, and Chang'an has not returned any official documents. I don’t know how to deal with it.” Zheng Zhi responded cautiously.

"During this trip, the Holy Majesty did not tell me how to deal with these officials. However, after I checked many official documents, I found out that these officials are really officials in vain, alas." After hearing Zheng Zhi's answer, Qi Hui also thought He sighed.

Although it is normal for an official to be corrupt at all, the data he checked from some official documents in Lizhou really shocked him a little.

As for the handling of the matter Zheng Zhi asked, Qi Hui had not been instructed before he came out of Chang'an. As for how to deal with it, according to his estimation, these officials would have to be exiled for three thousand miles.

……

Speaking of Zheng Tong, the supervisory censor at this time, after he was sent to Yiqing County by the law enforcement officers overnight, no one cares about him now.

After Lu Lindong and the officials of Yiqing County received Zhong Wen's instructions, after the censor was sent to Yiqing County, they only arranged to live in the county post house. Since then, no officials have been connected.

However, this yamen has arranged for one, but it only exists as a monitoring personnel. After all, this Zheng Tong is a monitoring censor, and he has to follow him wherever he goes or wherever he goes. Or, if Zheng Tong really died in Yiqing County for no reason, it would be unclear.

At this time, although Zheng Tong was full of anger towards Zhong Wen, he was also full of anger towards the officials of the Yiqing County Government.

But no matter how angry he gets, no matter how angry he gets, no one will take care of him, and you can do whatever you like, which makes him vent his anger and let go of his anger.

"You officials in Lizhou are really hateful. Even you officials in Yiqing county government dare to bully me like this. After I return to the capital, I will definitely sue the emperor." Zheng Tong who came out of the county post , staring at the Yacha and cursed.

However, the servant who was following him looked away, as if he had nothing to do with him.

However, is this imperial certificate really so good to sue?

The supervisory censor does not have the authority to enter the Tai Chi Hall in Miyagi to discuss matters during the court meeting. After all, he is only an eighth-rank official, so it would be his turn.

At most, it's just a memorial to report to the imperial court, but can this memorial reach Li Shimin's hands?

Not necessarily.

But if you really want to sue, it will definitely be successful, but he is still in Yiqing County right now, so let's discuss the matter of suing when you return to Chang'an.

Zheng Tong looked at the yamen servant who followed him, and although he was angry, he also knew what he should do, so he walked to a certain shop in Yiqing County.

The order to encircle the county seat in Yiqing County has long been lifted, but the street is different from the past.

Although there are people there, they are about one-third less than before. After all, the serious illness in Yejia Village has not been resolved, so it will naturally arouse some people's fear.

"You are Ye's shop here? I am the censor sent by the imperial court to Lizhou. Is your Yejia Village really seriously ill?" When Zheng Tong went straight into a shop, he asked the two people in that shop loudly Woke up, and even revealed his identity.

"This is Ye's shop here. What the Shangguan asked is true. Now my Ye's village is under siege, and few people come out. A few days ago, two people died in my Ye's village. I don't know. How is my wife now, woo woo woo..."

The shopkeeper of Ye's shop, when Zheng Tong entered the shop, was delighted from the beginning, but when he saw the clerk, his joy turned into nervousness, and then he quickly started crying.

But when Zheng Tong heard the response from the shopkeeper of Ye's shop, he froze him in place.

When he came to Yiqing County, he was sent directly by Zhong Wen. Although he was full of resentment, he really wanted to find out the real cause of Yejia Village's serious illness, so he chose to go straight to Ye's shop .

When he came out of Chang'an, someone had passed some news to him, otherwise, how would he have known that there would be a shop of the Ye clan in Yiqing County.

Zhong Wen didn't know what happened to Zheng Tong, the supervisory censor.

Even if he knew, he didn't care about it. As long as Zheng Tong dared to enter Yejia Village, what awaited him would be death.

The death of a supervisory censor is nothing more than a supervisory censor. Zhong Wen will not disrupt his plan because of a supervisory censor, and he does not allow the land of Lizhou to have clans and officials who are above government orders.

Either obey or die.

Two days later, the officials of the mission began to leave Lizhou City and headed for other surrounding counties.

The reason why they came to Lizhou was naturally to inspect.

In Lizhou City, they can only see the official documents of the Lizhou government office, but they cannot see the official documents of other counties.

Therefore, after the officials of the mission had been busy in Lizhou for two days, they needed to go to other counties for inspection.

But the person who accompanied him was not Zhong Wen, the governor, but Zheng Zhi, the other leader. Of course, there were also some other government officials.

The first stop of the mission's inspection was Sanquan County.

In addition to the inspection of the official documents of the county government, the mission will also visit some surrounding villages.

Whatever the population, taxation, corvee, etc., will be the direction of their inspections.

On the other hand, Zheng Tong from Yiqing County started looking for people to visit everywhere in the city after asking some questions about Ye's shop two days ago.

A supervisory censor was not doing his business, he didn't even wear an official uniform, and spent the past two days chatting with people everywhere in the city.

But after these two days, no matter whether he got the news from Ye's shop or the people in Yiqing County, it can basically be confirmed that there is a serious illness in Yejia Village.

At this time, Zheng Tong, like the previous two days, found a restaurant to sit down, ordered some food, and listened quietly to the guests in the restaurant.

"Yesterday when I went to Xiaofang Village where my eldest daughter lives, I happened to pass by the intersection of Yejia Village, which can be described as extremely eerie. Because of my curiosity, I directly climbed up the hill beside the small road. When I got to the top of the mountain, guess what I saw?" A middle-aged man said to the people sitting.

"What did you see? Couldn't it be that the people in Yejia Village were surrounded and caused a big trouble?"

"How dare Ye Family Village make trouble now? With such a serious illness, who would dare to make trouble?"

"That's right, that's right, if you don't stay at home, jump out and make trouble at this time, isn't that courting death?"

"A lot of people have died. I guess there may be another death."

Several people started talking one by one.

"Say it quickly, what did you see?" an impatient man asked loudly.

"Hehe, I was interrupted by you guys. Yesterday I saw a dozen or so people from Yejia Village carrying two coffins out of the village. I think two more people died." The middle-aged man quickly responded, as if It was as if he was afraid of being beaten by that anxious man.

"Wow"

"Two more died? This is really a crime."

"Oh, when will it be the first time?"

At this time, Zheng Tong, who was sitting not far away, listened carefully to all the words, without missing a single word.

When Zheng Tong heard the news of Ye Family Village again, he was also stunned on the spot again, and then, without even eating, after paying for the meal, he lowered his head and left very lonely That restaurant.

Zheng Tong didn't believe that the Ye family had a serious illness at the beginning, but in the past two years, he never believed it, then doubted it, and then panicked at this moment.

There are too many rumors in the city, and all the rumors are basically confirmed that there is a serious illness in Yejia Village.
