The main altar of Fuyue Sect is hidden deep in the mountains. The nearest town is dozens of miles away from the altar. It takes half a day to ride a horse. Once in a while, you will go to the nearest Jinshui City to buy some necessities.
There is a ferry in Jinshui City, and there are many merchants coming and going, so it is considered rich.
It was noon, under the scorching sun of midsummer, there were far fewer pedestrians on the street.
Li Zhi was sitting at a noodle stall eating small noodles. There were already seven or eight bowls piled up on the table. Only then did Zuo Hufa come out from the small pawn shop diagonally opposite, with a blushing blush on his face. Yinzi, with tears in his eyes.
Li Zhi finished his ninth bowl of noodles, and when the people waiting arrived, he stopped adding more.
He picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, his complexion was hot or hot. There was a slight blush, and his tone was still very cold when he spoke.
"what happened?"
Guardian Zuo sat down aggrieved, "The group of elders know how to play cards without doing anything,? I don't even care about giving moon silver. Especially Elder Hu,? You asked me to call her out,? I can't say you Looking for her? She pretended to be old and deaf, and she blamed me for calling her an elder and calling her old, so she insisted on calling her Little Tiantian!"
The corner of Li Zhi's mouth twitched, and he sighed secretly, took a sip of tea, put down his money and stood up.
"I gonna go see."
Although Zuo Dharma is reluctant, but Dharma protector has to follow the leader's lead, and also follow step by step.
The two entered the pawn shop one after the other.
Li Zhi's face was very eye-catching, people couldn't stop turning their heads in the street, and when they entered the small attic, the noisy voices in the room instantly quieted down, not only because of his face, but also because of the left guardian behind him.
There were not many people in the pawn shop, only a few young people were lazily sorting things out.
This pawn shop is full of people from Fuyue Sect.
No one could recognize Li Zhi's face, but it was impossible for them not to recognize Zuo Hufa's face.
Zuo Hufa often went down the mountain for the third hall master to give moon silver to several elders who retired here.
Seeing that he turned back not long after leaving, everyone was startled and stood up one after another.
Li Zhi walked into the backyard without even looking.
The gate of the pawnshop looks crude, but in fact it is a large house with a hidden universe inside.
It is also a nursing home for the elders of the church.
Li Zhi lifted the curtain and walked in, and at a glance he saw people playing mahjong under the gazebo in the courtyard.
These people are naturally the elders of the church, and the four of them are playing mahjong together.
It seems that several people are still young, about 50 to 60 years old. In fact, they are all old people. The youngest one is [-] years old. It's just that they have cultivated their inner strength to a certain extent, and they do look younger.
In the gazebo, it looks like the years are quiet and beautiful.
But when the two approached and took a closer look, there was a fierce fight on the table. Several people used their internal strength to draw cards.
"Old Cao, do you still want to beat me? I wait until the day lily is cold!" A middle-aged woman glared angrily at the thin old man opposite.She was wearing a gorgeous purple dress, with exquisite makeup, and she looked about forty years old at the most - this person was Elder Hu who had just beaten Zuo Dharma.
Seeing this scene, Li Zhi didn't really want to go in, so he stood outside the gazebo and watched silently.
It was Zuo Hufa who had suffered here just now, and when he saw the leader's expression, he knew he was displeased, so he straightened his back, raised his chin, and said arrogantly: "The leader is here, are you still playing?"
There were four people at the table, three men and one woman turned around after hearing the words, only to see Li Zhi standing there.Several people looked at each other, but they were all silent. They heard the footsteps just now and thought it was just that brat Zuo Hufa had left and returned...
It was also Elder Hu who reacted first, slapped the table and stood up, "Oh! It turns out that our leader is here, and the eyes of us old people are really getting more and more useless. In the past, things are becoming more and more blurred. I don't know what to do next..."
The other three also stood up, and the little old man with a mustache narrowed his cloudy eyes on purpose, and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I saw you, but the leader still has the same demeanor, no, he's more majestic than before!"
The white-haired old man on the opposite side touched his head and said, "How can I remember, the leader hasn't come for many years... When I saw the leader last time, the leader was still a little puppet, let us teach him martial arts."
"Old Cao, you are so stupid!" The last thin middle-aged man looked disgusted, "That happened many years ago! The leader only came last month, let us rest well and contribute to the holy religion in the future! "
Li Zhi raised his eyebrows first, then frowned.
Zuo Hufa didn't expect these old people to pretend to be stupid, and said angrily: "You are all foolish! Our leader has never learned your kung fu, and last month, our leader was not here!"
Elder Hu turned his back immediately, followed by Protector Zuo and squinted at the others, "No, Lao Cao, you are talking about the seventh generation leader, and he has already killed himself! Old Zhong, last month The person who came is the Right Protector, hurry up and treat your old eyesight!" After scolding the two companions, Elder Hu looked at Li Zhi with a loving smile on his face, "This is our little sect master."
Li Zhi looked at her indifferently, "Little?"
Elder Hu looked sincere, "Now that I've grown up, I'm an incomparably handsome leader of the Holy Cult!"
Li Zhi didn't accept such flattery, he asked a few people, "Just now you beat my left protector?"
Elder Hu lowered his head guiltily.
Zuo Hufa was aggrieved again, carefully touching his face, "How dare you beat your boss... Also, have you forgotten the teaching rule that prohibits playing mahjong?"
The elders dared not make a sound like quails, and they all looked at the culprit, Elder Hu, condemningly.It's all the fault of Elder Hu, the leader's precious pimples dare to hit?
Elder Hu burst into tears, "It was really careless! Master, you know that we are getting older, and we tend to lose our strength when we do things. We have already apologized for accidentally hurting Zuo Hufa. I think Zuo Hufa can understand. We old people, and we are not allowed to play mahjong, that is the rule of the seven generations of leaders..."
Elder Hu blinked hard at Li Zhi, "Master, the seven generations of masters are dead, and your father has changed most of his rules, and everything else is invalid, right? You don't want those old habits to continue to this day, do you?"
Guardian Zuo's eyes widened in disbelief after hearing this, "When did you apologize to me?"
"At a young age, you should be more open-minded, don't worry about so much."
Li Zhi saw that Protector Zuo was being bullied so much that his face turned red, and he said slowly, "Twenty years ago, the four hall masters of the Devil's Cult were notorious, but now they can only hide in the workshop and play mahjong. It's really a shame."
Elder Hu laughed and said, "No way, leader, you are worrying too much. We are all old, and the glory of the past has passed. Now we are old and weak. Thanks to the leader, you don't mind giving us old age."
The other three elders nodded vigorously, clearly hearing and seeing well, but why are they deaf and blind?
"It's just..." Elder Hu paused, looking at Li Zhi hesitantly.
Li Zhi waited quietly.
Elder Hu couldn't bear his temper, so he opened his mouth first, "We know how good the leader is to us. It would be even better if the leader even arranged our marriage. He is still alone."
"My teaching has always advocated free love."
"But they can't find it..." Elder Hu blinked at Li Zhi pretending to be shy.But the leader didn't like this at all, so she had no choice but to change the subject, "The leader is here, do you want to sit down and play?"
Li Zhi really walked over, Elder Hu's eyes lit up, he pushed Lao Cao aside, and graciously asked Li Zhi to sit down, "Master, please sit here, let's continue playing, Lao Cao is too confused to play mahjong."
Guardian Zuo watched helplessly as his leader sat down, and stood aside with the disliked old Cao, staring at each other. He had no choice but to persuade: "Master, you are still young, don't indulge in this kind of..."
Li Zhi's hand had already touched the cards, and upon hearing this, he turned his head and glanced at him indifferently.
Zuo Hufa's heart choked up, seeing Li Zhi's inexplicably skillful movements when he touched the cards, he silently closed his mouth, with incomparable pain and disappointment in his eyes.
The teacher is broken!
Except for Lao Cao, the elders sat back and continued to play cards, and looked at each other secretly, intending to squeeze all the silver from the little leader.
This time, they didn't dare to use their internal strength to fight, but they were also dishonest. Lao Cao looked honest and honest, peeked at Li Zhi's cards behind Li Zhi's back, and secretly gestured to the other three, which was discovered by Zuo Hufa Finally, he angrily pushed the old man away.
Fengyun Li Zhi on the poker table saw it, but acted as if he couldn't see it. After drawing the cards, he directly played out the [-] card in his hand without even looking at it.
Elder Hu touched it immediately, and said with a smirk, "I'm sorry, Master."
Li Zhi looked at her and suddenly smiled.
As we all know, if the leader doesn't say anything else, just his beauty is enough to captivate all living beings.Elder Hu was instantly electrified by this smile.
Li Zhi said: "After a while, the six sects will attack."
The elders looked as if they were concerned about this trivial matter, and they were still immersed in the fun of playing cards.
"Don't worry, the leader, we understand." Elder Hu said: "They must not have imagined that over the years, our holy religion has penetrated into the masses, and the entire Jinshui City is full of people from our holy religion. Shuicheng, as long as we enter Jinshuicheng, we won’t be allowed to flatten and make round... nine tubes."
Elder Zhong and Elder Xu also laughed, "The leader can rest assured about such a trivial matter."
Li Zhi's slightly cool eyes glanced over a few people, and he basically played whatever cards he got in his hand, with a very casual attitude, "Then the next step will be handed over to the elders, with you here, I feel at ease."
"Don't worry, the leader." Elder Hu hinted: "But there are still people from the government in Jinshui City. If we want to make small moves, we still have to take care of it."
Li Zhi nodded, "Elder Hu reminded me, I will let someone do it."
Elder Hu's smile froze, and then Li Zhi didn't know what card she had played, she laughed again, pushed down the card in front of her, and said happily: "I'm really sorry, leader, my subordinate is Hu!" Several people beckoned, "Hurry up, give me the money!" The hand asking for money finally reached out to Li Zhi.
"Master." Elder Hu smiled.
Li Zhi looked into her eyes and smiled back.
"You have crow's feet."
"... Hierarch, you are the Hierarch, you have to give money even if you lose in a card game." Elder Hu pretended not to hear, "You know, we only have 20 taels of silver a month, which is not enough to see a doctor!"
Guardian Zuo endured it for a long time, and said angrily, "Elder Hu, after you retire, you don't do anything. You eat and drink all day long, but you are in good health. Do you need to see a doctor every day? Twenty taels of monthly silver is already a lot, but do you know that our leader only has ten taels of monthly silver!"
Just like this, I am ashamed to ask the leader to give me money!Guardian Zuo felt very sorry for his leader.
Elder Hu looked in disbelief, "How could it be only ten taels? Hierarch, don't you feel bad when you see that we lonely old people have no money to seek medical treatment?"
"No." Li Zhi said indifferently: "It is true that I only have [-] months of silver per month, but for the sake of the holy religion, I am willing to dedicate everything, presumably Elder Hu is the same, then your moon silver..."
"Then there is no need to raise it!" Elder Hu was afraid that his pension would also be reduced, so he hurriedly pretended that this had never happened, and waved for Lao Cao to come back, "Then the leader, go to work and we won't keep you."
Li Zhi remained motionless, "What strange people have come to Jinshui City in the past few months?"
Several elders looked at each other, and they all became serious, but Elder Hu just curled his lips.
"I know that the leader will not just play mahjong with us as simple as coming."
Li Zhi looked at several elders and said: "People from Zhennan Prince's Mansion said that they have been here before, and they were rejected three times to contact the mountain. One of them has a bald head, extremely fair complexion, and his eyes are quite different from those of the Central Plains people."
Elder Hu's fingernails painted with bright red Kodan gently scratched his chin, and recalled: "I don't know if they are from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, but such a group of people did come, just over two months ago."
Guardian Zuo looked at Li Zhi in a daze.
It turns out that the priest really came to do something...
"I know that although the elders are living at the foot of the mountain, they always remember the sacred teachings. The details that many people don't notice, the elders will definitely not miss." Li Zhi asked again: "Who is the person who interviewed him?"
Elder Hu showed modesty, "It's just a daily idle gossip. Why, the leader was not on the mountain in the past, and no one even reported this important matter to you? The third hall master personally met."
Elder Zhong on the opposite side also said hesitantly: "Yes, I saw them enter the mountain several times, and they were all received by the third hall master. But they didn't let people go up the mountain, and they just let them go every time. "
"The last contact was when the third hall master went down the mountain in person and met people at the inn on the opposite street." Elder Hu said: "Those people left after that and never came back. Did the third hall master really not say anything?"
Li Zhi's eyes darkened, he threw away the mahjong in his hand, and instructed: "If there is anything unusual in the foothills recently, the elders will notice it, and report it directly to Guardian Zuo. I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
Li Zhi got up directly, with a dignified expression, no one dared to stop him, but when he passed by Zuo Dharma, Li Zhi paused for a moment, "You stay here."
Guardian Zuo pointed at himself blankly.
Li Zhi nodded to confirm, and then told several elders: "Guardian Zuo is not good at martial arts, I hope some elders can help to train|teach him." He thought for a while, and added: "Teach well, there will be a bonus."
Several elders showed joy after hearing the words, and looked at the Zuo protector kindly.
Li Zhi patted the shoulder of the left protector reassuringly, and walked away.After walking a few steps, as expected, he heard Zuo Hufa wailing behind him.
"Master, I don't want to stay here!"
The corner of Li Zhi's mouth twitched, as if he didn't hear it.
When going down the mountain, Zuo Dharma escorted the leader, and when going up the mountain, Li Zhi was alone.Li Zhi returned to his residence in the inner courtyard, and as soon as he walked to the door, he saw Yan Qing, the right protector who had been guarding the door of his room since he did not know when.
Long time no see, Li Zhi was startled for no reason.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yan Qing slowly turned around with the boxes in her arms, and a somewhat simple and honest smile appeared on her young and clear face.
"Master, you are back. Where is Xiaobai?" Yan Qing looked behind Li Zhi, but did not see Guardian Zuo.
Li Zhi passed Yan Qing and opened the door to enter the house, his tone was quite calm, "The Right Protector is back."
"This subordinate was waiting for the leader's news at the foot of the mountain with Guardian Zuo, but it was Xiaobai who bumped into the leader first. The subordinate stopped by to observe the Huangsha gang, and came back after receiving Xiaobai's news, which was a few days late. "
Yan Qing's smile did not change, and she followed with a bunch of things in her arms, and put them all on the table, "By the way, these incense masters gave you these."
Sitting at the table, Li Zhi opened the top rectangular box, and found a ginseng.
Yan Qing explained: "I heard that the leader returned to the mountain last night, and the incense masters only found out today, but you and Xiaobai went down the mountain again, and your subordinate just came back, so all the gifts they prepared were placed here. .”
Li Zhi closed the box.If he guessed correctly, these are precious medicinal materials.Also, everyone knows that he is not in good health, and the gifts given to him have always been medicinal materials, but Li Zhi really doesn't like it.
And everyone was also kind, Li Zhi knew it well, "Thank them for their kindness for me."
Yan Qing nodded and wrote it down, and then asked, "Master, hasn't Xiaobai come back?"
Li Zhi still didn't reply, and silently looked at Yan Qing with a pair of cold and quiet black eyes.
There are always some differences between Yan Qing and the people of Fuyue Sect.If you want to talk about the difference, look at his demeanor, upright and upright, Mr. Pianpian, like a green lotus in a devil's den - and this is just Li Zhi's opinion.
The right protector Yan Qing was transferred from the branch altar. He is good-looking, good-tempered, and good at kung fu. Everyone likes him very much, and Zuo protector also likes him very much. Within a few years, he became a good brother of Zuo protector.
Under Li Zhi's gaze for a long time, Yan Qing remained calm, "Does the leader have something to say?"
Li Zhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he really asked: "The right protector has been in the main altar for five years, right?"
Yan Qing suppressed her smile, lowered her head and replied, "Yes, it will be five years in two months."
Li Zhi nodded, "You came to the main altar five years ago. You are the same age as me. Whether you are good at martial arts or appreciated by the hall master, you have become my right guardian. Over the years, the Holy Church has treated you very poorly. Is it thin?"
Yan Qing faintly sensed something, and hastily knelt down, "The Hierarch and the Holy Cult treat Yan Qing very well!"
Li Zhi was dark and indifferent, "But you may not be truly loyal to the holy religion."
Yan Qing opened her mouth to speak.
"You are Xiao Han's internal response to Fuyue Sect." Li Zhi asserted first.
Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, and when she raised her head, she looked at Shang Li Zhi with indifferent eyes.
Li Zhi sneered and said: "You betrayed my false identity in Quzhou. I went out to recuperate secretly this time, and even avoided the three hall masters. Only Xiaobai knew where I was, and Xiaobai trusted you very much. He later Tell me, I accidentally let you know."
The corner of Yan Qing's mouth raised a bitter smile, "Why doesn't the leader doubt Xiaobai?"
Li Zhi's face darkened, "I watched Xiaobai grow up and treated him as my own younger brother. We practiced martial arts together and learned how to manage affairs in the school. I know him better than anyone else. How could I doubt him?"
Yan Qing looked down, "That's why the leader doubts me."
"I know that Xiao Han has an eyeliner by my side. Since I was found by him in Quzhou, and I was caught by him in Sanqinglou just after I came out of Yanbo Valley...he knows my whereabouts very well. In order to report safety, it is convenient to go out In the event of an accident, you can find me as soon as possible. I will send a message to Xiaobai wherever I go, and only Xiaobai knows where I will be. The guardians stayed together until he went to Yujian Villa to get the sword."
Li Zhi said: "For so many years, you are the only one who has been trying to get close to Xiaobai and me. I have seen a long time ago that you are very defensive towards the people I teach, but everyone thinks you are fine."
Yan Qing said: "Master's eyes."
"It seems that I have a good vision."
Yan Qing frowned, as if hesitating, and after a while, he said: "I am not from the prince, but the person who contacted me this time is indeed the prince. I am the secret guard of the Yan family of Qianji Pavilion, a subordinate of King Pingyang. .”
Li Zhi had expected it.
Yan Qing was still kneeling in front of Li Zhi, with no resignation on his face, he lowered his head and said: "Five years ago, the prince noticed that the Fuyue Sect was growing stronger and stronger. He was involved in an assassination against the lord, and unfortunately died under the knife of the villain. When we knew that he was going to be the right guardian of the demon sect, the lord arranged for me, who was similar in appearance and age, to fall into the ambush instead of him. Yueshan, I didn’t have a name before, so my name was Yan Wu.”
Li Zhi silently read the name, his eyes turned, "What is your relationship with Yan Qi?"
"We are the same group of hidden guards, but Yan Qi and Yan Jiu were selected by the crown prince very early to guard the crown prince's side, and I was originally a secret guard by the prince's side." Yan Qing said: "I joined the Fuyue sect In the past five years, I have not received any orders from the prince. My mission is to lurk and disguise. To betray the leader is the first mission I have received in these years. Even the prince may not know who I am, he just knows My existence, the news was given to him by me through the hands of others."
Li Zhi sneered, "You are quite protective of the Lord."
Yan Qing showed a bit of shame, "I just want to tell the leader that I came to Fuyue Mountain for impure purposes, and it was the same when I approached you and Xiaobai at the beginning, but I didn't have no sincerity towards you."
Li Zhi smiled softly, and asked nonchalantly, "Who is your direct supervisor now?"
Yan Qing hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "It's the prince. I just learned recently that the prince has gradually handed over the Qianji Pavilion to the prince, so the prince has taken over me, and I can contact him directly."
"Then what are you going to do next?"
"The prince did not arrange any tasks for me..." Yan Qing said: "Then my task is to observe the Fuyue Sect. If the master does not expose me, I will inform the prince that you have returned safely."
"It's a pity that I have been discovered by the leader. I know that the leader always hates betrayal, and the betrayer will naturally not end well." Yan Qing looked at Li Zhi, bowed her head deeply, and touched her forehead to the ground, " Thanks to the leader for his trust and cultivation over the years, as well as Xiaobai’s trust, I lied to everyone... If the leader wants to kill Yan Qing, Yan Qing will not resist."
Li Zhi stared at him for a long time, his eyes were full of sarcasm, "Who said that he was going to kill you?"
Yan Qing looked up, puzzled.
Li Zhi waved his hands a little irritably, "Get up, and reply to the son as usual."
Yan Qing was puzzled, "Could it be that the leader wants me to join the holy religion?"
Li Zhi squinted at him, "It's a good idea. You are Xiao Han's man, and I won't kill you, but you betrayed me, and I won't let you stay in the church anymore."
"The subordinate now..."
"Stay on the mountain first, and I will let the prince take you away in the future." Li Zhi's attitude towards the traitor was very cold, and there was even a bit of murderous intent in his eyes, "During this time, you can't do anything in the sect. No matter what letter I ask you to send to Shizi, you can write any letter. Naturally, I will not let you betray Shizi, you just need to be ready to leave Fuyue Sect at any time."
Yan Qing had thought that his best end would be to be expelled, but he had been on the mountain for five years, and he was really reluctant to let him go.
"Master..."
"You'd better sort out your relationship with everyone during this period of time. The farther away from Xiaobai the better, he won't want to know that his good friend is a liar or a traitor." Li Zhi's attitude was very cold and hurt. People, "If you let me know that you secretly handed over the secrets of my teaching, no matter who you are, I will kill you!"
Yan Qing's face turned pale, and she lowered her head.
Li Zhi was lucky not to kill him, but when he saw him, he was upset, so he waved his hand to tell him to get out.
Yan Qing stood up and left in a daze. Just when she reached the door, Li Zhi's voice came from behind, revealing a bit of hesitation and awkwardness.
"If there is news from your family..."
Yan Qing paused, waiting for Li Zhi's next words.
"...Let me know as soon as possible."
Yan Qing was in a dilemma, "I have to ask Shizi first..."
"If you like to talk, don't talk, get out!"
Li Zhi was furious, raised his hand, and blasted Yan Qing out of the door with a sharp palm wind, and took the door to the room along the way, with a bang, Yan Qing was shut outside the door.
Even so, Li Zhi still did not calm down.
A few days ago, he sent the news of meeting the Jinyi man who was also wearing the dragon pattern jade pendant and was closely protected by the masters of Tianluo to Chunhua Building and asked Bai Haitang to pass it on to Xiao Han, but there has been no reply so far.
So did the idiot get the letter, or didn't he?If you let him know that Xiao Han received the letter but didn't reply... Li Zhi clenched his fists, full of displeasure.
The author has something to say: Shizi: Jianghu.com is too bad to get new news! (×)
After two chapters, Shizi will be online, more _(:з」∠)_
Catch bugs
There is a ferry in Jinshui City, and there are many merchants coming and going, so it is considered rich.
It was noon, under the scorching sun of midsummer, there were far fewer pedestrians on the street.
Li Zhi was sitting at a noodle stall eating small noodles. There were already seven or eight bowls piled up on the table. Only then did Zuo Hufa come out from the small pawn shop diagonally opposite, with a blushing blush on his face. Yinzi, with tears in his eyes.

"what happened?"
Guardian Zuo sat down aggrieved, "The group of elders know how to play cards without doing anything,? I don't even care about giving moon silver. Especially Elder Hu,? You asked me to call her out,? I can't say you Looking for her? She pretended to be old and deaf, and she blamed me for calling her an elder and calling her old, so she insisted on calling her Little Tiantian!"
The corner of Li Zhi's mouth twitched, and he sighed secretly, took a sip of tea, put down his money and stood up.
"I gonna go see."
Although Zuo Dharma is reluctant, but Dharma protector has to follow the leader's lead, and also follow step by step.
The two entered the pawn shop one after the other.
Li Zhi's face was very eye-catching, people couldn't stop turning their heads in the street, and when they entered the small attic, the noisy voices in the room instantly quieted down, not only because of his face, but also because of the left guardian behind him.

"Old Cao, do you still want to beat me? I wait until the day lily is cold!" A middle-aged woman glared angrily at the thin old man opposite.She was wearing a gorgeous purple dress, with exquisite makeup, and she looked about forty years old at the most - this person was Elder Hu who had just beaten Zuo Dharma.
Seeing this scene, Li Zhi didn't really want to go in, so he stood outside the gazebo and watched silently.
It was Zuo Hufa who had suffered here just now, and when he saw the leader's expression, he knew he was displeased, so he straightened his back, raised his chin, and said arrogantly: "The leader is here, are you still playing?"
There were four people at the table, three men and one woman turned around after hearing the words, only to see Li Zhi standing there.Several people looked at each other, but they were all silent. They heard the footsteps just now and thought it was just that brat Zuo Hufa had left and returned...
It was also Elder Hu who reacted first, slapped the table and stood up, "Oh! It turns out that our leader is here, and the eyes of us old people are really getting more and more useless. In the past, things are becoming more and more blurred. I don't know what to do next..."

"Old Cao, you are so stupid!" The last thin middle-aged man looked disgusted, "That happened many years ago! The leader only came last month, let us rest well and contribute to the holy religion in the future! "
Li Zhi raised his eyebrows first, then frowned.
Zuo Hufa didn't expect these old people to pretend to be stupid, and said angrily: "You are all foolish! Our leader has never learned your kung fu, and last month, our leader was not here!"
Elder Hu turned his back immediately, followed by Protector Zuo and squinted at the others, "No, Lao Cao, you are talking about the seventh generation leader, and he has already killed himself! Old Zhong, last month The person who came is the Right Protector, hurry up and treat your old eyesight!" After scolding the two companions, Elder Hu looked at Li Zhi with a loving smile on his face, "This is our little sect master."
Li Zhi looked at her indifferently, "Little?"
Elder Hu looked sincere, "Now that I've grown up, I'm an incomparably handsome leader of the Holy Cult!"
Li Zhi didn't accept such flattery, he asked a few people, "Just now you beat my left protector?"
Elder Hu lowered his head guiltily.
Zuo Hufa was aggrieved again, carefully touching his face, "How dare you beat your boss... Also, have you forgotten the teaching rule that prohibits playing mahjong?"
The elders dared not make a sound like quails, and they all looked at the culprit, Elder Hu, condemningly.It's all the fault of Elder Hu, the leader's precious pimples dare to hit?
Elder Hu burst into tears, "It was really careless! Master, you know that we are getting older, and we tend to lose our strength when we do things. We have already apologized for accidentally hurting Zuo Hufa. I think Zuo Hufa can understand. We old people, and we are not allowed to play mahjong, that is the rule of the seven generations of leaders..."
Elder Hu blinked hard at Li Zhi, "Master, the seven generations of masters are dead, and your father has changed most of his rules, and everything else is invalid, right? You don't want those old habits to continue to this day, do you?"
Guardian Zuo's eyes widened in disbelief after hearing this, "When did you apologize to me?"
"At a young age, you should be more open-minded, don't worry about so much."
Li Zhi saw that Protector Zuo was being bullied so much that his face turned red, and he said slowly, "Twenty years ago, the four hall masters of the Devil's Cult were notorious, but now they can only hide in the workshop and play mahjong. It's really a shame."
Elder Hu laughed and said, "No way, leader, you are worrying too much. We are all old, and the glory of the past has passed. Now we are old and weak. Thanks to the leader, you don't mind giving us old age."
The other three elders nodded vigorously, clearly hearing and seeing well, but why are they deaf and blind?
"It's just..." Elder Hu paused, looking at Li Zhi hesitantly.
Li Zhi waited quietly.
Elder Hu couldn't bear his temper, so he opened his mouth first, "We know how good the leader is to us. It would be even better if the leader even arranged our marriage. He is still alone."
"My teaching has always advocated free love."
"But they can't find it..." Elder Hu blinked at Li Zhi pretending to be shy.But the leader didn't like this at all, so she had no choice but to change the subject, "The leader is here, do you want to sit down and play?"
Li Zhi really walked over, Elder Hu's eyes lit up, he pushed Lao Cao aside, and graciously asked Li Zhi to sit down, "Master, please sit here, let's continue playing, Lao Cao is too confused to play mahjong."
Guardian Zuo watched helplessly as his leader sat down, and stood aside with the disliked old Cao, staring at each other. He had no choice but to persuade: "Master, you are still young, don't indulge in this kind of..."
Li Zhi's hand had already touched the cards, and upon hearing this, he turned his head and glanced at him indifferently.
Zuo Hufa's heart choked up, seeing Li Zhi's inexplicably skillful movements when he touched the cards, he silently closed his mouth, with incomparable pain and disappointment in his eyes.
The teacher is broken!
Except for Lao Cao, the elders sat back and continued to play cards, and looked at each other secretly, intending to squeeze all the silver from the little leader.
This time, they didn't dare to use their internal strength to fight, but they were also dishonest. Lao Cao looked honest and honest, peeked at Li Zhi's cards behind Li Zhi's back, and secretly gestured to the other three, which was discovered by Zuo Hufa Finally, he angrily pushed the old man away.
Fengyun Li Zhi on the poker table saw it, but acted as if he couldn't see it. After drawing the cards, he directly played out the [-] card in his hand without even looking at it.
Elder Hu touched it immediately, and said with a smirk, "I'm sorry, Master."
Li Zhi looked at her and suddenly smiled.
As we all know, if the leader doesn't say anything else, just his beauty is enough to captivate all living beings.Elder Hu was instantly electrified by this smile.
Li Zhi said: "After a while, the six sects will attack."
The elders looked as if they were concerned about this trivial matter, and they were still immersed in the fun of playing cards.
"Don't worry, the leader, we understand." Elder Hu said: "They must not have imagined that over the years, our holy religion has penetrated into the masses, and the entire Jinshui City is full of people from our holy religion. Shuicheng, as long as we enter Jinshuicheng, we won’t be allowed to flatten and make round... nine tubes."
Elder Zhong and Elder Xu also laughed, "The leader can rest assured about such a trivial matter."
Li Zhi's slightly cool eyes glanced over a few people, and he basically played whatever cards he got in his hand, with a very casual attitude, "Then the next step will be handed over to the elders, with you here, I feel at ease."
"Don't worry, the leader." Elder Hu hinted: "But there are still people from the government in Jinshui City. If we want to make small moves, we still have to take care of it."
Li Zhi nodded, "Elder Hu reminded me, I will let someone do it."
Elder Hu's smile froze, and then Li Zhi didn't know what card she had played, she laughed again, pushed down the card in front of her, and said happily: "I'm really sorry, leader, my subordinate is Hu!" Several people beckoned, "Hurry up, give me the money!" The hand asking for money finally reached out to Li Zhi.
"Master." Elder Hu smiled.
Li Zhi looked into her eyes and smiled back.
"You have crow's feet."
"... Hierarch, you are the Hierarch, you have to give money even if you lose in a card game." Elder Hu pretended not to hear, "You know, we only have 20 taels of silver a month, which is not enough to see a doctor!"
Guardian Zuo endured it for a long time, and said angrily, "Elder Hu, after you retire, you don't do anything. You eat and drink all day long, but you are in good health. Do you need to see a doctor every day? Twenty taels of monthly silver is already a lot, but do you know that our leader only has ten taels of monthly silver!"
Just like this, I am ashamed to ask the leader to give me money!Guardian Zuo felt very sorry for his leader.
Elder Hu looked in disbelief, "How could it be only ten taels? Hierarch, don't you feel bad when you see that we lonely old people have no money to seek medical treatment?"
"No." Li Zhi said indifferently: "It is true that I only have [-] months of silver per month, but for the sake of the holy religion, I am willing to dedicate everything, presumably Elder Hu is the same, then your moon silver..."
"Then there is no need to raise it!" Elder Hu was afraid that his pension would also be reduced, so he hurriedly pretended that this had never happened, and waved for Lao Cao to come back, "Then the leader, go to work and we won't keep you."
Li Zhi remained motionless, "What strange people have come to Jinshui City in the past few months?"
Several elders looked at each other, and they all became serious, but Elder Hu just curled his lips.
"I know that the leader will not just play mahjong with us as simple as coming."
Li Zhi looked at several elders and said: "People from Zhennan Prince's Mansion said that they have been here before, and they were rejected three times to contact the mountain. One of them has a bald head, extremely fair complexion, and his eyes are quite different from those of the Central Plains people."
Elder Hu's fingernails painted with bright red Kodan gently scratched his chin, and recalled: "I don't know if they are from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, but such a group of people did come, just over two months ago."
Guardian Zuo looked at Li Zhi in a daze.
It turns out that the priest really came to do something...
"I know that although the elders are living at the foot of the mountain, they always remember the sacred teachings. The details that many people don't notice, the elders will definitely not miss." Li Zhi asked again: "Who is the person who interviewed him?"
Elder Hu showed modesty, "It's just a daily idle gossip. Why, the leader was not on the mountain in the past, and no one even reported this important matter to you? The third hall master personally met."
Elder Zhong on the opposite side also said hesitantly: "Yes, I saw them enter the mountain several times, and they were all received by the third hall master. But they didn't let people go up the mountain, and they just let them go every time. "
"The last contact was when the third hall master went down the mountain in person and met people at the inn on the opposite street." Elder Hu said: "Those people left after that and never came back. Did the third hall master really not say anything?"
Li Zhi's eyes darkened, he threw away the mahjong in his hand, and instructed: "If there is anything unusual in the foothills recently, the elders will notice it, and report it directly to Guardian Zuo. I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
Li Zhi got up directly, with a dignified expression, no one dared to stop him, but when he passed by Zuo Dharma, Li Zhi paused for a moment, "You stay here."
Guardian Zuo pointed at himself blankly.
Li Zhi nodded to confirm, and then told several elders: "Guardian Zuo is not good at martial arts, I hope some elders can help to train|teach him." He thought for a while, and added: "Teach well, there will be a bonus."
Several elders showed joy after hearing the words, and looked at the Zuo protector kindly.
Li Zhi patted the shoulder of the left protector reassuringly, and walked away.After walking a few steps, as expected, he heard Zuo Hufa wailing behind him.
"Master, I don't want to stay here!"
The corner of Li Zhi's mouth twitched, as if he didn't hear it.
When going down the mountain, Zuo Dharma escorted the leader, and when going up the mountain, Li Zhi was alone.Li Zhi returned to his residence in the inner courtyard, and as soon as he walked to the door, he saw Yan Qing, the right protector who had been guarding the door of his room since he did not know when.
Long time no see, Li Zhi was startled for no reason.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yan Qing slowly turned around with the boxes in her arms, and a somewhat simple and honest smile appeared on her young and clear face.
"Master, you are back. Where is Xiaobai?" Yan Qing looked behind Li Zhi, but did not see Guardian Zuo.
Li Zhi passed Yan Qing and opened the door to enter the house, his tone was quite calm, "The Right Protector is back."
"This subordinate was waiting for the leader's news at the foot of the mountain with Guardian Zuo, but it was Xiaobai who bumped into the leader first. The subordinate stopped by to observe the Huangsha gang, and came back after receiving Xiaobai's news, which was a few days late. "
Yan Qing's smile did not change, and she followed with a bunch of things in her arms, and put them all on the table, "By the way, these incense masters gave you these."
Sitting at the table, Li Zhi opened the top rectangular box, and found a ginseng.
Yan Qing explained: "I heard that the leader returned to the mountain last night, and the incense masters only found out today, but you and Xiaobai went down the mountain again, and your subordinate just came back, so all the gifts they prepared were placed here. .”
Li Zhi closed the box.If he guessed correctly, these are precious medicinal materials.Also, everyone knows that he is not in good health, and the gifts given to him have always been medicinal materials, but Li Zhi really doesn't like it.
And everyone was also kind, Li Zhi knew it well, "Thank them for their kindness for me."
Yan Qing nodded and wrote it down, and then asked, "Master, hasn't Xiaobai come back?"
Li Zhi still didn't reply, and silently looked at Yan Qing with a pair of cold and quiet black eyes.
There are always some differences between Yan Qing and the people of Fuyue Sect.If you want to talk about the difference, look at his demeanor, upright and upright, Mr. Pianpian, like a green lotus in a devil's den - and this is just Li Zhi's opinion.
The right protector Yan Qing was transferred from the branch altar. He is good-looking, good-tempered, and good at kung fu. Everyone likes him very much, and Zuo protector also likes him very much. Within a few years, he became a good brother of Zuo protector.
Under Li Zhi's gaze for a long time, Yan Qing remained calm, "Does the leader have something to say?"
Li Zhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he really asked: "The right protector has been in the main altar for five years, right?"
Yan Qing suppressed her smile, lowered her head and replied, "Yes, it will be five years in two months."
Li Zhi nodded, "You came to the main altar five years ago. You are the same age as me. Whether you are good at martial arts or appreciated by the hall master, you have become my right guardian. Over the years, the Holy Church has treated you very poorly. Is it thin?"
Yan Qing faintly sensed something, and hastily knelt down, "The Hierarch and the Holy Cult treat Yan Qing very well!"
Li Zhi was dark and indifferent, "But you may not be truly loyal to the holy religion."
Yan Qing opened her mouth to speak.
"You are Xiao Han's internal response to Fuyue Sect." Li Zhi asserted first.
Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, and when she raised her head, she looked at Shang Li Zhi with indifferent eyes.
Li Zhi sneered and said: "You betrayed my false identity in Quzhou. I went out to recuperate secretly this time, and even avoided the three hall masters. Only Xiaobai knew where I was, and Xiaobai trusted you very much. He later Tell me, I accidentally let you know."
The corner of Yan Qing's mouth raised a bitter smile, "Why doesn't the leader doubt Xiaobai?"
Li Zhi's face darkened, "I watched Xiaobai grow up and treated him as my own younger brother. We practiced martial arts together and learned how to manage affairs in the school. I know him better than anyone else. How could I doubt him?"
Yan Qing looked down, "That's why the leader doubts me."
"I know that Xiao Han has an eyeliner by my side. Since I was found by him in Quzhou, and I was caught by him in Sanqinglou just after I came out of Yanbo Valley...he knows my whereabouts very well. In order to report safety, it is convenient to go out In the event of an accident, you can find me as soon as possible. I will send a message to Xiaobai wherever I go, and only Xiaobai knows where I will be. The guardians stayed together until he went to Yujian Villa to get the sword."
Li Zhi said: "For so many years, you are the only one who has been trying to get close to Xiaobai and me. I have seen a long time ago that you are very defensive towards the people I teach, but everyone thinks you are fine."
Yan Qing said: "Master's eyes."
"It seems that I have a good vision."
Yan Qing frowned, as if hesitating, and after a while, he said: "I am not from the prince, but the person who contacted me this time is indeed the prince. I am the secret guard of the Yan family of Qianji Pavilion, a subordinate of King Pingyang. .”
Li Zhi had expected it.
Yan Qing was still kneeling in front of Li Zhi, with no resignation on his face, he lowered his head and said: "Five years ago, the prince noticed that the Fuyue Sect was growing stronger and stronger. He was involved in an assassination against the lord, and unfortunately died under the knife of the villain. When we knew that he was going to be the right guardian of the demon sect, the lord arranged for me, who was similar in appearance and age, to fall into the ambush instead of him. Yueshan, I didn’t have a name before, so my name was Yan Wu.”
Li Zhi silently read the name, his eyes turned, "What is your relationship with Yan Qi?"
"We are the same group of hidden guards, but Yan Qi and Yan Jiu were selected by the crown prince very early to guard the crown prince's side, and I was originally a secret guard by the prince's side." Yan Qing said: "I joined the Fuyue sect In the past five years, I have not received any orders from the prince. My mission is to lurk and disguise. To betray the leader is the first mission I have received in these years. Even the prince may not know who I am, he just knows My existence, the news was given to him by me through the hands of others."
Li Zhi sneered, "You are quite protective of the Lord."
Yan Qing showed a bit of shame, "I just want to tell the leader that I came to Fuyue Mountain for impure purposes, and it was the same when I approached you and Xiaobai at the beginning, but I didn't have no sincerity towards you."
Li Zhi smiled softly, and asked nonchalantly, "Who is your direct supervisor now?"
Yan Qing hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "It's the prince. I just learned recently that the prince has gradually handed over the Qianji Pavilion to the prince, so the prince has taken over me, and I can contact him directly."
"Then what are you going to do next?"
"The prince did not arrange any tasks for me..." Yan Qing said: "Then my task is to observe the Fuyue Sect. If the master does not expose me, I will inform the prince that you have returned safely."
"It's a pity that I have been discovered by the leader. I know that the leader always hates betrayal, and the betrayer will naturally not end well." Yan Qing looked at Li Zhi, bowed her head deeply, and touched her forehead to the ground, " Thanks to the leader for his trust and cultivation over the years, as well as Xiaobai’s trust, I lied to everyone... If the leader wants to kill Yan Qing, Yan Qing will not resist."
Li Zhi stared at him for a long time, his eyes were full of sarcasm, "Who said that he was going to kill you?"
Yan Qing looked up, puzzled.
Li Zhi waved his hands a little irritably, "Get up, and reply to the son as usual."
Yan Qing was puzzled, "Could it be that the leader wants me to join the holy religion?"
Li Zhi squinted at him, "It's a good idea. You are Xiao Han's man, and I won't kill you, but you betrayed me, and I won't let you stay in the church anymore."
"The subordinate now..."
"Stay on the mountain first, and I will let the prince take you away in the future." Li Zhi's attitude towards the traitor was very cold, and there was even a bit of murderous intent in his eyes, "During this time, you can't do anything in the sect. No matter what letter I ask you to send to Shizi, you can write any letter. Naturally, I will not let you betray Shizi, you just need to be ready to leave Fuyue Sect at any time."
Yan Qing had thought that his best end would be to be expelled, but he had been on the mountain for five years, and he was really reluctant to let him go.
"Master..."
"You'd better sort out your relationship with everyone during this period of time. The farther away from Xiaobai the better, he won't want to know that his good friend is a liar or a traitor." Li Zhi's attitude was very cold and hurt. People, "If you let me know that you secretly handed over the secrets of my teaching, no matter who you are, I will kill you!"
Yan Qing's face turned pale, and she lowered her head.
Li Zhi was lucky not to kill him, but when he saw him, he was upset, so he waved his hand to tell him to get out.
Yan Qing stood up and left in a daze. Just when she reached the door, Li Zhi's voice came from behind, revealing a bit of hesitation and awkwardness.
"If there is news from your family..."
Yan Qing paused, waiting for Li Zhi's next words.
"...Let me know as soon as possible."
Yan Qing was in a dilemma, "I have to ask Shizi first..."
"If you like to talk, don't talk, get out!"
Li Zhi was furious, raised his hand, and blasted Yan Qing out of the door with a sharp palm wind, and took the door to the room along the way, with a bang, Yan Qing was shut outside the door.
Even so, Li Zhi still did not calm down.
A few days ago, he sent the news of meeting the Jinyi man who was also wearing the dragon pattern jade pendant and was closely protected by the masters of Tianluo to Chunhua Building and asked Bai Haitang to pass it on to Xiao Han, but there has been no reply so far.
So did the idiot get the letter, or didn't he?If you let him know that Xiao Han received the letter but didn't reply... Li Zhi clenched his fists, full of displeasure.
