The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

All civilian boats and personnel were wiped out, and no one knew about it, and no one collected their bodies.

It wasn't until a few days later that the rotten boards and floating corpses were discovered after they floated to the coast.

The local government, after learning about the floating corpses at sea, even sent many people to investigate. Originally, they thought that there was a murder case in their own county.

But after they found out that the floating corpses belonged to those people from Jiangyin, they felt relieved.

Just now.

Li Shimin, who was far away in Chang'an City, called a member of the Baiqi Division and said: "You pass on my secret decree to Lizhou Baiqi Division, and hand this letter over to the person in charge of Lizhou. In addition, "

"Yes." After receiving Li Shimin's instructions, the member of the Baiqi Division rushed away from Chang'an City not long after.

Two days later.

After Kuai Ma arrived in Lizhou, he handed the letter to a school lieutenant in charge of Lizhou Baiqi Division.

When the captain received the letter, he opened it and knew what he was going to do.

That night.

The captain rushed to Longquan Temple overnight.

"Li Daochang, this is the Holy Majesty's order. I want to invite Zhong Shaobao to Chang'an." The school captain said to Li Daoling with a letter.

Li Daoling took the letter and looked at it, and finally blurted out: "Jiu Shou is not in Longquan Temple at the moment, I will give the letter to him when he comes back."

Yes.

It is true that Zhong has not been at Longquan Temple recently.

When Ghost Shou said that he was going to leave Longquan Temple, Zhong, a named disciple, was invited by Ghost Shou to go to the Wumen in Helan Mountain.

Zhong Du left Longquan Temple for more than half a month.

At this time, it is estimated that they have already arrived at the Wumen.

originally.

It is really inconvenient for Zhong, a named disciple, to go to Wumen.

But fortunately, he was invited by the ghost hand, and under the instructions of his master, Zhong followed the ghost hand to the Wumen.

Of course, Zhong also wanted to take a look at Shumen.

Regarding the matter of Shumen, Zhong always kept it in mind.

Chapter 657 Seeing the Sorcerer's Gate for the First Time

"May I ask Li Daochang, where did Zhong Shaobao go? The Holy Majesty's order is urgent, how about letting me convey it?" The school lieutenant didn't dare to waste any more time, and wanted to convey it in his own way.

"I don't know." Li Daoling said with a smile.

Even if he knew, Li Daoling wouldn't be able to tell, what's more, Li Daoling really didn't know where Jiu Shou went with the ghost hand, he only knew that he followed the ghost hand to the sect where the ghost hand was.

Moreover, Guishou never mentioned where his sect was, and it was even more impossible for Zhong to mention it.

This made the captain really helpless.

If Li Daoling didn't say anything, he couldn't force it.

In the end, I had to leave the letter to Li Daoling and pass it on.

Things didn't go well, but he still had to write back to Chang'an to explain the situation.

After he returned to Lizhou, he immediately wrote a letter and sent it back to Chang'an.

And this time.

Zhong had already followed the ghost hand to Helan Mountain.

When Zhong followed the ghost hand to Helan Mountain, what caught his eyes was neither a wooden house nor a great sect.

It is a stone house like Shumen.

"Senior Ghost Hand, is this your sect? Why is it the same as Beishan's sect?" When Zhong Zhong saw those stone houses, he felt very different.

This is like the Shumen that Beishan saw, it belongs to a style.

"Yes, our Wu Sect and Shu Sect belong to the same sect, and the form of this sect is basically similar, so don't make too much fuss." Gui Shou explained with a smile.

Zhong looked around, only three stone houses.

As for the rest, there seems to be nothing.

Seeing this situation, Zhong Dao thinks that the witch sect where the ghost hand is located probably has much fewer people than the Shu sect.

After a moment.

The ghost hand came outside a stone house with a clock.

"You stay here for a while." After the ghost hand said to the clock, it went straight into the stone house.

After a while, a trap door was exposed on the ground of the stone house.

Zhong had seen such a scene once in Shumen.

For this reason, Zhong has been thinking in his heart.

Why do some current sects always like to dig holes into the ground?

Even if you don't drill holes in the ground, it is very common to drill holes in the rock wall.

It's like the Taiyi Sect and Shu Sect that Zhong once saw in Zhongnan Mountain, as well as his second sect, Tiandi Sect, and Lingbao Sect.

And now, when I came to Wumen, it was the same.

"Jiu Shou, come in." Just as Zhong was thinking, the ghost hand in the stone house called out to the bell outside.

The bell entered the stone house after hearing the sound.

Afterwards, the two went underground from the passage of the stone house.

As soon as the two of them entered the bottom of the passage, the entrance to the passage was immediately closed.

It's dark underground.

Fortunately, Zhong's eyes can still see some blurred appearance.

After walking for a while, the ghost hand walking in front suddenly reached out to touch a wall.

After a "snap".

Immediately, within the dark passageway, flames flickered immediately.

Zhong paused in surprise.

"This is a mechanism, and it is also a unique method of my Wumen." Ghost Hand seemed to be taken aback when he saw Zhong Mao, and quickly explained.

Zhong also just smiled at this.

It is not the first time that Zhong has seen such a unique method.

In Tiandizong, Zhong also saw this way.

And the unique way that the ghost hand said is not surprising when it comes to Zhong.

"Let's go, the suzerain and the others probably know that I'm back, Jiushou, remember not to speak for a while." The ghost hand signaled that he could move forward, but before moving forward, the ghost hand gave Zhong a word.

"Okay." Zhong Ben didn't talk much.

Besides, when you come to someone else's sect, no matter how stupid you are, you will know it, and try not to talk too much if you can.

After more than a quarter of an hour.

The two finally arrived in a square cavity underground.

But at this time, there are three more doors on the three sides of the hollow.

"This is?" Zhong looked at the three doors, a little puzzled.

"This is the meeting point of my sect. Let's go, this way." The ghost hand approached a door, and after slapping it hard, a stone door in the middle opened.

Just as the stone gate opened.

A flame also flashed behind the stone gate.

But under the light of the fire, there stood an old man like a withered tree, his face was bloodless, and his eyes looked like a divine light, looking at the two people outside the empty space in all directions.

At that moment, Zhong was shocked again.

As soon as the stone door was opened, a face suddenly appeared, probably everyone would be shocked.

Moreover, this is still underground, not above the ground.

"Master of the sect." The ghost hand saluted quickly when he saw the man behind the stone gate.

But the old man who looked like a dead wood didn't respond to the ghost's hand, but stared at the clock.

This made Zhong feel the murderous look in the old man's eyes.

"Sect master, his name is Jiushou, he is a member of Taiyi's sect, and at the same time, he is also my registered disciple." Guishou also noticed something wrong with the atmosphere, and hurriedly explained.

"Don't you know that outsiders are forbidden to enter the holy land of the sect?" the old man with dead wood shouted sharply after hearing the words of the ghost hand.

"Sect Master, Jiu Shou is my named disciple, not an outsider." Gui Shou said.

"Recognized disciples? Are you passing on my sect's skills to others? Where do you attribute the sect's teachings?" The dead wood old man shouted again.

"Sect Master, I did not pass on my sect's exercises to him, I just passed on his medical skills. Moreover, there is no such requirement for our sect's medical skills. Anyone who is capable can learn it. This is my sect. The doctrine of the inheritance of medical skills, if you have an opinion on me, you can say it bluntly, why should you say such things in front of my disciples!" Ghost Hand was very displeased when he saw his sect lord speak like this.

Judging from the situation of the two of them, it is clear that Ghost Hand is not dealing with the head of his Wumen.

Before Zhong came to Wumen with the ghost hand, Zhong knew about this matter.

Zhong heard Guishou said that the head of the Wu Sect had always been at odds with Guishou.

Moreover, this discord already exists.

The specific reason for the ghostly hand is not said.

But judging from the present, the discord between Ghost Hand and the sect master may not be as simple as Ghost Hand said, and it may even be close to the point where the two are about to break up.

and.

Chung had also heard Shadow say something.

However, those things did not bluntly describe the relationship between the two.

But from it, we can also know that the relationship between the ghost hand and the Wumen sect master may have reached a certain level.

But at this time, Zhong stood there, looking extremely embarrassed.

Not going in, not going back.

Entering his door, he was also invited by the ghost hand.

Otherwise, Zhong would not have been invited by the ghost hand to come to Wumen.

But this time when they entered the Wumen, they had such a closed door, which inevitably made both of them feel embarrassed.

As soon as the ghost hand finished speaking, the old man with dead wood squinted his eyes, then turned and walked towards the passage.

In the blink of an eye, the person disappeared.

After secretly sighing, Guishou turned around and comforted Zhong, "Jiu Shou, don't worry about it, he is just such a person, let's go, follow me."

After Zhong heard the words, he shrugged and said it didn't matter.

Even if he has something to say, it is impossible to show anything.

"My sect master's temperament has always been like this, and he generally doesn't like outsiders, so he has rarely left my sect in the past few decades, and even people from the Shu sect come to pay a visit. He doesn't like to see him." When the ghost hand carried the clock forward, he explained to the clock.

"It's okay, I understand." Zhong followed behind, nodded and replied.

"The name of my sect master is probably known by few people in the world. In fact, you should be able to guess that the name of my Wumen is not my name, just like my name Ghost Hand, and the shadow is also That's it. And my name as the head of the Wu Sect is just like his appearance, called Dead Wood." Gui Shou continued.

"Dead wood?" Zhong Yi felt that it was not very strange when he heard the name.

After all, with names like ghost hand and shadow, this dead tree is quite normal.

There are so many names in the world, the name of Dead Wood is indistinguishable from his nine Taoist names in Zhong's ears.

Although Zhong knew that the name of the Wumen would represent something, he was still wondering whether the name of the head of the Wumen also represented a kind of ability?

However, after the ghost hand's explanation, Zhong also understood the meaning.
