The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

"Second Master, I once heard a friend say that there are two islands and three barrens. I know where the two islands are, but what are the three barrens?" Seeing Li Zhu's words, Zhong Wen quickly asked his own question.

"Oh? You still know Sanhuang? It seems that your friend is also a great person." Seeing Zhong Wen asked about Sanhuang, Li Zhu praised him.

"Second master, my friend is only in the realm above innate, and he has only heard about the Three Desolations, and he only knows its name and doesn't know what it means, so this disciple asked the second master about it." Zhong Wen explained again.

"Well, these three wastes are indeed not known to people above the innate. The three wastes are sky, land, and water. Everyone in the three wastes is a master of the realm of martial arts. There are not many people, only a few dozen. "

"Tianhuang is located in the mountains to the west of the Tubo Kingdom. It is called Tianhuang because it is close to the sky. Dihuang is located in the sea of ​​death in the southwest of this place. There is yellow sand everywhere, and because it is close to the ground, it is called Dihuang. As for the water shortage, But it is in the sea to the southeast of the Tang Kingdom, so it is also called the water shortage." Li Zhu explained to Zhong Wen one by one about the three wastes.

"It turns out that the three wastes of heaven, earth and water live in the same place, so they are called the three wastes." After hearing this, Zhong Wen understood what the meaning of the three wastes was.

The sky is the Kunlun Mountains, the land is the Taklimakan Desert, and the water is the sea.

"Haha, your thinking is too simple, but you are my disciple, so let me tell you the specifics of Sanhuang directly." Li Zhu laughed out loud when Zhong Wen said that it was so.

"Second master, isn't it like this?" Zhong Wen was a little at a loss by Li Zhu's laugh.

"Of course not. Although Sanhuang is called Sanhuang, it also represents the power of the three parties. Moreover, all martial arts masters, everyone must join one of them, and a teacher is a person in the land." Zhu explained.

"Ah? Second master, are you from the land? Does it mean that as long as you break through to the realm of martial arts, you must join any of the three wilds?" Zhong Wen was once again shocked by Li Zhu's words.

"Yes, as long as anyone has achieved the realm of martial arts, he must join one of the wilds, because only in this way can some rookies come in to break the shackles of the martial arts realm, and it is also true that the three wilds are divided into three." Because of different affiliations, this kind of fighting is naturally a common occurrence." Li Zhu explained.

"What class does the second master belong to in Dihuang?" Zhong Wen asked curiously.

"Don't ask me these questions. I told you about the Sanhuang because you are my disciple, but I can't take you into the Dihuang. This is a rule, and even I can't break this rule. Moreover, You are not allowed to go, as long as you enter any of the three wildernesses, you will definitely die." Li Zhu stopped at this moment, and even said what he was going to say in advance, so as to stop Zhong Wen's curiosity.

After this conversation, Li Zhu had already seen that Zhong Wen was too curious.

If he didn't say it in advance, maybe one day Zhong Wen would go to any of the three wildernesses out of curiosity.

This is a terrible thing, and it will be killed on the spot, and Zhong Wen will not be given any chance at all.

"I wrote it down." Zhong Wen responded quickly after hearing this.

This is a big deal, and it's still about wealth and life. No matter how curious I am, I won't make fun of my own life.

"Oh, by the way, Second Master, when I passed by Loulan City a few days ago, I met a man named Lao Tuo, and he gave me this booklet." Zhong Wen suddenly remembered the things about Loulan City, and hurriedly He took out the booklet from his pocket and handed it to Li Zhu.

"Old Camel? His dog's nose is too sharp, right? He dares to think about my disciple, and I will have to meet him someday." After hearing this, Li Zhu took the booklet and said bitterly.

After Li Zhu checked the brochure, he realized why Lao Tuo gave Zhong Wen a brochure.

"Second master, is that old camel also in the realm of martial arts? What level is he? And why did he say he was waiting for me in Loulan City for two years, and why did he specially hand over this booklet to me?" Zhong Wen wanted to find out. About the old camel, he asked again.

Although the brochure is a medical book, it is not a medical book.

But to Zhong Wen, it was like a useless book.

There are some things he has never seen before, and Lao Tuo handing him this booklet is like giving it for nothing.

"Old Tuo is a master at the sixth level of the Martial Dao Realm, but he is the best at escaping. Every time Sanhuang fights, he is also the most slippery one. It is difficult to hurt him. As for why he gave this booklet to You, the medicines on this booklet are medicinal herbs for treating internal injuries, and some medicinal herbs are also medicinal herbs for researching and breaking through the eighth level of the Martial Dao Realm." Li Zhu said bitterly.

"Ah? But I'm only in the innate realm, and I'm still far away from the martial arts realm. Why did the old camel hand it over to me? I'm not a big shot, and he doesn't have to wait for me in Loulan City for two years, right?" Zhong Wen was even more puzzled after hearing this.

"Don't think about it too much. The old camel handed over not one or two brochures. He has handed over many books over the years. He said that he will wait for you in Loulan City for two years, which is just his usual style. , I just lied to you." Li Zhu said lightly.

But when Li Zhu explained to Zhong Wen, his eyes looked a little unnatural, and his brows were even more wrinkled.

However, Zhong Wen didn't notice this point. After hearing this, Zhong Wen also thought that what Li Zhu said was also possible.

If Zhong Wen knew that what Li Zhu said was not the same thing at all, maybe he would have some other thoughts in his heart.

Lao Tuo, he never gave anyone a brochure, and as Lao Tuo said, he really waited for Zhong Wen in Loulan City for two years.

The reason is that Lao Tuo had met Zhong Wen a few times in Chang'an City, and he had also seen the scene where Zhong Wen was fighting with the brother surnamed Shi in Miyagi.

Moreover, the old camel observed Zhong Wen in Chang'an City for a long time before deciding to wait for Zhong Wen in Loulan City.

To be specific, the time was only two years, but in the past two years, his life was indeed somewhat unlike a human being, and ghosts were not like ghosts.

Besides, there were no people in Loulan City long ago, and he was the only one in Loulan City, always pulling a bell.

As for why Lao Tuo waited for Zhong Wen in Loulan City, this is unknown, and the only one who knows is Lao Tuo himself.

"Okay, disciple, don't think about old camels anymore. Next, you may need to stay with me for a year or so, so you have to be mentally prepared." Li Zhu stretched He smiled and said to Zhong Wen.

"Why? Second master. I came to the Western Regions temporarily, and I have something to do at home, and if the master knows that I have not heard from me for a year or so, he will look for me all over the world. Besides, my master has enemies. If I'm not in the temple, if this enemy finds him, it will be troublesome." Zhong Wen heard that Li Zhu wanted to stay here for a year or so, so he quickly explained.

Chapter 551 The Three Gates of Zhongnan Re-enter Beijing

"What? Now that you have worshiped me as your teacher, of course I have to be responsible for you. With your three-legged cat's kung fu, you can't even beat that old boy. With your temperament, you probably have a lot of enemies. ?” Li Zhu really hates iron but wants to turn Zhong Wen into a master.

"No, Second Master, although I have enemies, there are not many of them, and they are all innate realms, but I can't find their traces." Zhong Wen replied in a low voice.

"Since it's just an innate state, why are you worried about it? It's settled, you stay here with me, and I will pass on the skills of your sect in the next time. If you can achieve The twelfth floor of the innate realm, I will let you go back." Li Zhu didn't say too much, and gave Zhong Wen a goal.

Li Zhu set this goal, but Zhong Wen was a little far away.

Breaking through from the tenth level of the innate realm to the twelveth level of the innate realm is not so easy to achieve in a year and a half.

Even for Zhong Wen, it might be difficult.

In this world, it is not so easy to break through from the tenth level of the innate realm to the top existence of the innate realm. Some people can't make the leap in their entire lives, let alone a year or a half.

Li Zhu only wanted to keep Zhong Wen, so that he could pass on all the things of his sect to Zhong Wen.

As for a year and a half, that's just an excuse for him.

According to his conclusion, it would take at least three years for Zhong Wen to break through from the tenth level of the Innate Realm to the twelveth level.

And it took him five years to manage Zhu.

For three years, it was him who Li Zhu had given Zhong Wen considerable expectations.

After hearing this, Zhong Wen felt helpless.

On the twelfth floor of the Innate Realm, Zhong Wen has no confidence.

I hit Li Zhu again and again, and I couldn't run away, so I could only passively accept this reality.

Let's talk about Chang'an City at this time.

But seven people were ushered in.

These seven people are none other than people from the three major sects of Zhongnan Mountain, the head of which is Zhuo Cheng, the Suzerain of Taiyi Sect.

However, among the seven people, there was a man wearing a hood, dressed in black, with a black cloth hanging on his face, only revealing two eyes.

Such a strangely dressed person appeared in Chang'an City, but he did not attract the attention of pedestrians on the street.

There are not many such outfits in Chang'an City.

For example, those foreign sects, Nestorianism and Jacketism, also had this kind of attire, so the people in Chang'an City didn't think it was too strange to see it.

"Brother, I got the news that the little Taoist priest is no longer in Chang'an City, he seems to have left a few months ago, as for where he went, I don't know yet." Ye Dingsong said to Zhuo Cheng.

"It seems that we are one step late." Zhuo Cheng sighed secretly.

"Brother, what are we going to do next?" Ye Dingsong looked at the man in black and asked Zhuo Cheng again.

"Uncle Grand Master, what do you think?" Zhuo Cheng asked respectfully to the man in black.

"Let's stay here first, and check out more news." The man in black said softly.

"Yes, Uncle Grand Master." Zhuo Cheng got the instructions from the man in black, and took the lead to walk to Yongchongfang where the direction of Lingying Temple was located.

Zhuo Cheng called the man in black Grand Master Uncle, and immediately knew that this man was a member of the three major sects of Zhongnan Mountain, and his seniority was high.

As for how the three major sects of Zhongnan Mountain found this grand master uncle, outsiders basically don't know, and only people from their three major sects can know.

"I have to report to Commander Li as soon as possible, the people from Zhongnan Mountain have appeared again." After seeing the seven people, a member of the Baiqi Division's first reaction was shock.

Not long after, Li Shan got the news.

It is not good news that people from the three major sects of Zhongnan Mountain came to Chang'an City again.

The current him is a disciple of Taiyi Sect, Li Shan naturally knows the enmity of Taiyi Sect.

After his senior brother searched for traces for so long, the people from the three major sects of Zhongnan Mountain appeared in Chang'an City again, which made Li Shan happy but also tinged with sadness.

Li Shan knew that the reappearance of these people showed that they were here to seek revenge.

Now, Zhong Wen is not in Chang'an City, and he, Li Shan, cannot deal with these people.

Afterwards, Li Shan wrote a letter and handed it to a Baiqisi, and he rushed towards the Western Regions at full speed.

As soon as the letter was sent away, Li Shan ran to where the shadow was.

"The appearance of people from the three major sects of Zhongnan Mountain is not a trivial matter. I will go to investigate the situation at night before making a decision." After getting the news from Li Shan, Ying also understood that the people from the three major sects of Zhongnan Mountain came to Chang'an So why.

"Okay, then I'll go and inform the servant of the king first, so that he can be prepared." Li Shan said worriedly.

"You don't need to be so nervous, this is Chang'an City, forgive them for not daring to mess around." Shadow was not very worried.

It's just that some things are not what his shadow thinks, which can stop these problems from happening.

Today, Chang'an City has long since lost the shadows of people from various sects.

After the burial of the overlord Li Yuan, the people from Yunluo Temple and those sent by other sects had already left.

But this is Chang'an City after all, even if people from the three major sects of Zhongnan Mountain dare to break into Miyagi, they probably have to consider Yunluo Temple and other sects.

Miyagi is a forbidden area of ​​the Tang Kingdom, and all the people in the Jianghu also abide by this rule, and are not allowed to break into the palace city of the Tang Kingdom at will.

Therefore, this is the reason why his shadow is not worried.

People from the three major sects of Zhongnan Mountain had already entered the Lingying Temple, but after that, Ye Dingsong left the temple not long after, and walked towards a certain entrance.

And the hundreds of cavalry personnel mixed in Chang'an City have long been under surveillance.

night.

Shadows came out of the palace.

"Brother, according to the news, the little Taoist priest is named Zhong Wen. The imperial court granted him the title of Marquis of Miantu County and the official post of Prince Shaobao. It is said that the little Taoist priest is also the governor of Lizhou. It is from Miantu County in Lizhou, otherwise, the imperial court would not have granted that little Taoist priest a seal in Miantu County." At this time, in a side hall of Lingying Temple, Ye Dingsong was reporting what he had learned today to Zhuo Cheng and the others. news.

There are still a few people from the three major sects of Zhongnan Mountain in Chang'an City.

And these few people basically hid very well, even the Baiqi Division personnel couldn't find out.

"It seems so. Why does the imperial court take such a fancy to that little Taoist priest? Is there anything special about it?" Zhuo Cheng was a little puzzled after hearing the news about his junior brother.

"I don't know, our people can't find out anymore, even the officials in the court don't have any other news about the little Taoist priest." Ye Dingsong responded.

"Since it is in Lizhou, let's go to Lizhou in a few days and see." Suddenly, the man in black said aloud.

"Uncle Grand Master is right, as long as we go to Lizhou to investigate, we will definitely know something." Seeing the man in black talking, Zhuo Cheng quickly agreed.

Just as Zhuo Cheng finished speaking, the man in black turned his head to look outside the side hall and said in a deep voice: "It seems that you are the one who guards Miyagi called Shadow? Come in and talk when you come."

What the man in black said shocked the other six people present to stand up.

But at this time, the shadow jumped from a distance and fell outside the gate of the side hall of Lingying Temple, quietly looking at the man in black in the hall.

Most of the shadows of people from the three major sects of Zhongnan Mountain have also been seen.

But the man in black was the only one. He had never seen a shadow before, and he couldn't tell who he was from his figure, but he always gave him a vague sense of threat.

"Everyone came to Chang'an City suddenly, my shadow naturally has to come over to take a look, and disturb you." Shadow cupped his hands towards the people in the side hall.

"Shadow, why are you here?" Zhuo Cheng walked a few steps forward, staring at Shadow coldly and asked.

"It doesn't matter, you are all from the rivers and lakes, you should know the rules in the rivers and lakes, since you have entered Chang'an City, then as the guardian of the palace city, I must come to check it out, as if you are just passing through Chang'an City, then my shadow will leave immediately." Shadow inquired.

"Of course we understand the rules of the Jianghu, there is no need for your shadow to come here to tell you, but it seems that your shadow has forgotten the rules of the world, right?" Zhuo Cheng said coldly.

"Sect Master Zhuo, what happened before was not my intention, and I didn't know the enmity between you and Daoist Zhong at that time." Ying Ying knew what Zhuo Cheng said.

"Although your shadow came from the same sect as Ghost Hand, but your shadow ruined our affairs in advance, could it be that your shadow can dismiss this matter with just a few words?" Zhuo Cheng really hated the shadow.

If it wasn't for the time when they were in Shicheng County, Zhuo Cheng and the others would have taken Zhong Wen down long ago, and they would not have been passive until now.

"Then what's the deal? As I said, you were the first to besiege and kill Zhong Daoist. The rules of the world have always been one-on-one, and you were the first to break this rule. Besides, I really didn't know at that time. You have a great enmity with Daoist Zhong, you really can't blame me for this matter." Shadow is not afraid of people from the three major sects of Zhongnan Mountain.

However, although Shadow is not afraid of people from the three major sects of Zhongnan Mountain, he is very wary of the man in black.

The man in black sat there motionless, staring at him, making him feel that there was always a danger around him.

"Okay, it's been so long, let's let it go." The man in black didn't want to listen anymore, and stopped him.

It's not that he doesn't want to take down the shadow, but he knows that the shadow and the ghost hand come from the same door.

The name of ghost hand is well-known in Jianghu, even he has to be afraid of it.

The man in black is the same as the ghost hand, but he knows the power of the ghost hand.
