Skilled in managing a house

"Okay." After hearing what the middle-aged Taoist said, Master Yuan didn't even turn his head to look, but just nodded in agreement.

Zhenren Lu, who was standing next to Zhenren Yuan, turned his head and looked over. The middle-aged Taoist who came up behind him seemed quite strange to Zhenren Lu. Most people from Baimei Palace should have seen him before, even if they were not familiar with him. Especially this person, who spoke like this when he came up, obviously has a certain status in Baimei Palace, and cannot be an ordinary Taoist priest, but I have never seen him before.

Zhenren Lu was very curious, but it was inconvenient to ask. But at this time, Yuan Zhenren had already ordered each faction to divide their troops into five groups. The troops from Baimei Palace and Yangchun Temple should take the middle passage, and the other factions should take the other four passages. Master Yuan even said that other factions do not need to move very fast and must be careful.

After the arrangements were made, Yuan Zhenren was the first to walk into the cave in the middle. Seeing Zhenren Yuan entering, Zhenren Lu couldn't neglect it. He followed in second, followed closely by the unknown middle-aged Taoist.

The disciples of Baimei Palace and Yangchun Temple entered one after another, and Song Feng, Tai Wannian, Bao Jiayin, and Leng Lingxue also followed, but the four of them were located further back.

The further they walked into the cave, the clearer the cries and shouts of the children in front became. After a short time, Zhenren Yuan and Zhenren Lu could see the dim light ahead. After walking for a while, you can see the cave entrance and clear light in front of you.

Seeing the entrance to the cave, Shangguan Ning, who was following Master Yuan, immediately said: "Master, there is a cave entrance in front of you. Why don't you let the disciples come forward and check it out?"

"No need, Master, come forward in person!" Yuan Zhenren said directly.

In this case, there might be danger ahead. How could Zhenren Yuan let a junior disciple take the lead? She immediately put the fly whisk across her chest and continued walking forward. Master Lu walked hand in hand with her and also drew the long sword from behind.

The two people quickly arrived at the entrance of the cave, and when they looked outside, they were shocked. Outside the entrance of the cave, there is a cave. There are many people in the distance, and there are many bird cages suspended in mid-air. The people in the bird cages are all children, and the cries are made by these children.

Nearby, you can see a chessboard suspended above the head of a red-robed, white-haired old man, with countless chess pieces scattered around him. Around the old Taoist, there are five people surrounding him according to the directions of the five elements. These five people are male and female, monks and Taoists. Yuan Zhenren can recognize it at a glance. A young Taoist priest wearing Bagua fairy clothes is Zhang. Yu.

At the moment, Zhang Yu was activating the copper coin net to resist the chess pieces. The great monk Chengjue is blocking the chess pieces with his cassock. Xiaomei held Fuchen in her hand, Ye Fenghuang turned around with a ruler in front of him, and his body was still emitting white light. Meng Xing'er had nine lights and shadows from behind to in front of her, blocking the chess pieces with all her strength.

When Master Yuan and Master Lu saw this scene, they couldn't help but take a breath. The two of them knew Zhang Yu's strength very well, and he was definitely not inferior to them. The four people who joined forces with Zhang Yu also had considerable strength. Looking at their posture, even if they were not as good as Zhang Yu, they were not much different. The five people cooperated flawlessly according to the directions of the five elements. They only blocked the chess pieces of the red-robed old master, but they couldn't win. Then how powerful this red-robed old man is.

The middle-aged Taoist priest with a vicissitudes of voice from before followed closely behind Yuan Zhenren. At this time, he walked to the other side of Yuan Zhenren and whispered: "Abbott, I didn't expect that the person here was one of the twelve zodiac signs." of sheep.”

"Twelve horoscopes!" Hearing this, Master Yuan was startled, and then said: "Suwen asked the twelve horoscopes dragon to see its head but not its tail. How did you know that this person is a zodiac sign?"

Master Lu was also shocked and turned to look at the middle-aged Taoist priest. The middle-aged Taoist priest then pointed at the red-robed Taoist priest and said, "Did you see the chessboard above his head? Although I have never seen the person in the twelve astrology, I have heard of the sheep in the twelve astrology. That is, the One-horned True Monarch has an Eight Directions Star Board in his hand. The so-called Eight Directions Star Board is actually a chessboard. The black and white chess pieces are like the stars in the sky. Once they are moved, they become a natural formation with infinite power. According to what I know We know that back then, the eight masters from the Wanshou Chongzhen Palace of Zaoge Shanda surrounded and suppressed the True Monarch Dujiao. As a result, six people were killed on the spot and two escaped with minor injuries. The Dujiao True Monarch was considered to have formed a deadly feud with the Wanshou Chongzhen Palace of Zaoge Shanda. It's just that the twelve horoscopes have always been like dragons, and they are very powerful. If they meet few people, they either can't recognize them or they are no match for them. It was someone in the Wanshou Chongzhen Palace of Zaoge Mountain who had seen the One-horned True Monarch. He is so powerful that the older generation of Taoists soon knew his magical weapon and appearance."

"I see..." Master Yuan took a deep breath and then said, "I don't know, are you sure of winning?"

"Fighting alone, it may be difficult to win." The middle-aged Taoist priest said.

"Otherwise, let's join forces to help Zhang Yu and kill this guy together." Yuan Zhenren said again.

"No!" The middle-aged Taoist priest immediately shook his head.

"Why not?" Yuan Zhenren said puzzledly.

"The five of them are based on the Five Elements position and complement each other to support each other. If we suddenly take action now, their Five Elements positioning will be broken, which will reduce their power. If we take action hastily, we will have consequences. Danger." said the middle-aged Taoist priest.

"In your opinion, what should we do now?" Yuan Zhenren asked.

"We can only wait now," said the middle-aged Taoist priest.

"Then... can the five of them... do it..." Yuan Zhenren's voice was extremely low this time.

"I'm afraid..." The middle-aged Taoist only said two words and shook his head gently.

However, Master Yuan can completely see the meaning of this. Zhang Yu and the five of them will definitely fail.

At this moment, Master Yuan couldn't help but feel a little worried about Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu had helped them many times. If something happened, and it was still in front of his eyes, it would inevitably make him feel guilty. However, according to the middle-aged Taoist priest, going down to help now will only cause trouble.

Lu Zhenren also understood now. He could vaguely see that the middle-aged Taoist priest was actually wearing a human skin mask, because when he spoke, the middle-aged Taoist priest had no expression on his face. Through this vicissitude of voice and Master Yuan calling "you" one after another, Master Lu could almost conclude that this middle-aged Taoist priest should be the Supreme Elder of Baimei Palace.

The old Taoist didn't want to show his true colors to others, and he couldn't tell anyone. Master Lu pretended not to know, but he was secretly happy in his heart. If Zhang Yu and others were not opponents, they might be defeated after a while, and they would be seriously injured even if they didn't die. According to the old saying, they can only wait now. In this way, they will not be left with a reputation of doing nothing and sitting on the sidelines, which is simply too good.

Master Lu was even more looking forward to the fact that after Zhang Yu and the others were defeated, True Lord Dujiao would also be seriously injured. In this way, if he takes action first and kills True Monarch One-Horn, wouldn't all the credit fall on his head?
