Taiping Inn

At that time, the descendant of the saint, Yan Shenggong once had a famous saying: "There are only three families in the world: my family is just Zhang and Xu of Shangqing. Zhang and Xu of Shangqing are the Taoist morale; Xu of Zhongli is the outbreak of others and the cliché."

The Zhang family is the Zhang family who lived in the Shangqing Mansion of Wuzhou for generations, while the Zhongli Xu family started in the royal family of Zhongli Mansion of Luzhou. Although this is arrogant and respects the saint's mansion, it can also be seen that the Zhang family's inheritance is It has a long history and can be compared with the descendants of the saints and the Xu family today.

In the eyes of the Zhang family, compared with their families, the Li family of Donghai, Qin family of Liaodong, and Su family of Jinling, they are all younger generations. Throughout history, dynasties have been spread out. I don’t know how many wealthy families have cut off their incense. Only two major families have continued. One is the saint’s mansion in Qizhou, and the other is the Dazhen Mansion in Wuzhou. The two are one in the south and one in the north, and they are the mutually resonant. .

There are also differences between the Zhang family: legitimate and illegitimate. Zhang Shishui is from a direct lineage. His father Zhang Yueshan is the nephew of the old teacher Zhang Jingxiu. Zhang Jingxiu is his uncle because neither Zhang Jingxiu nor Zhang Jingchen has been recorded. Because of the descendants of the genealogy, this branch of his is the main corpus.

Zhang Shishui was born in the Great True Mansion. He has not lacked guidance from a wise master since he was a child, nor has he lacked martial arts and secrets. In addition, he is also considered to be of high qualifications. Now he is in the innate realm, and he is only one step away from the Return to the True Realm. But he had no idea about the position of Master Da Tian, ​​nor did he want to join Zhengyi Sect as a Taoist priest, so he had been traveling abroad over the years.

When Yan Feiqing got married, Zhang Shishui returned to the Dazhen Mansion and met Li Xuan. But now, this noble son from Zhang's family is dead.

His body had just been transported back to Yunjin Mountain, Shangqing Mansion in Wuzhou, but was not placed in the Dazhen Mansion, but was temporarily parked in the Dashan Qing Palace not far from the Dazhen Mansion.

There are four Shangqing Palaces in the world, located in the Jinao Peak of Taiqing Mountain, the Donghua Sect of Langya Prefecture, Qizhou Langya Prefecture, Wuzhou Shangqing Prefecture, Yunjin Mountain, Qionglin Peak of Yunjin Mountain, Qionglin Peak of Jianmen Prefecture, Shuzhou Jianmen Prefecture, Tiancang Mountain, Qingcheng Peak of Zhongzhou Longmen Prefecture Cuiyun Peak in Beimang Mountain, Yin and Yang Zong. In order to distinguish, the Shangqing Palace of Zhengyi Sect is also called the Great Shangqing Palace, and the other three Shangqing Palaces are respectively named.

In the main hall of Shangqing Palace, the statue of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun was on it. Zhang Yueshan turned his back to the statue, looked down at his son's body, and remained silent.

Since Zhang Shishui's body was sent back to the mountain, Zhang Yueshan has not spoken a word, with no expression on his face, no joy or sorrow. However, the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed to have solidified. Those present also include Zhang Daishan, Zhang Feishan, Zhang Yuanshan, Zhang Lianshan, Zhang Qingshan and other peers. This generation is the mainstay of the Zhang family today. Zhang Yueshan is the oldest and has the most prestige among this generation. Heavy, he didn't speak, and other brothers of his peers were not easy to speak, so he could only remain silent.

At this moment, someone walked into the main hall, but he was not often on Zhangluan Mountain on Yunjin Mountain. Zhang Luanshan, who was once called "Little Heavenly Master", is no longer the same as before, but his status in Zhengyi Sect and even the entire Zhang family is still very special, and he has a wide connection in the world, from the great master Situ that year Xuan Ce, to the current Mr. Qingping Li Xuandu, have a great friendship, so the others present dare not speak, only he sighed and said, "Brother, please feel sorry."

When Zhang Yueshan heard this, he finally turned his gaze away from Zhang Shishui's body and looked at Zhang Luanshan, with a gloomy and fierce look in his eyes. But Zhang Luanshan was not afraid at all and looked at Zhang Yueshan calmly.

After a while, Zhang Yueshan lowered his eyes and said, "Did you come back specially? You're determined. You're tired of traveling, so you'd better take a break soon."

Zhang Luanshan said in a deep voice: "A little fatigue is nothing. As far as I know, there are also ways to resurrect the dead in this world, such as the shamanism's "Eternal Life Stone" or the soul-summoning technique of Gezaodao..."

Before Zhang Luanshan could finish his words, Zhang Yueshan interrupted, "I have a good intention, but it's not that simple to resurrect the death? Ning Yi, the 'Blood Knife', was exhausted for this matter, and in the end it was nothing. The master said that even if he could be resurrected, he wouldn’t he hear the legend of the Ten Witches in Lingshan? That was already another person.”

Zhang Luanshan has read various Taoist scriptures since he was a child, so he naturally knows the records of the Ten Witches of Lingshan. When Shun was killed by his subordinates, his body was sent to Lingshan. He asked the Ten Witches of Lingshan to save him. The Ten Witches of Lingshan will never die. The medicine saved Yuqi, but after being rescued, Yuqi changed drastically and ate people everywhere. Finally, he was shot and killed by Emperor Xuanyuan. Because he knew about this, he also understood that what Zhang Yueshan was talking about was the truth and could only be speechless.

Zhang Yueshan lowered his eyes and said calmly: "People are dead, and the fate of our father and son in this life has ended, so there is no need to say more."

Zhang Luanshan could only sigh.

After this episode, Zhang Yueshan seemed to have walked out of the shadow of losing his son, waved his hand to signal the disciples guarding outside the door to come in and bury Zhang Shishui's body.

After Zhang Shishui's body was taken out, Zhang Luanshan asked, "Brother, don't let me say too much, then I won't say too much, but I always have to know how Shishui's nephew died, and he died again. Whose hand?”

Zhang Yueshan looked at Zhang Luanshan with a strange look, looking up and down at him.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Zhang Luanshan asked a little uncomfortable when he looked at him.

Zhang Yueshan didn't speak, but still looked at Zhang Luanshan.

At this moment, Zhang Daishan, who had a good relationship with Yan Feiqing and Zhang Luanshan, finally spoke, "The murderer is Zhou Shuning, a disciple of Xuannv Sect."

"Who!?" Zhang Luanshan was really surprised this time. Of course he knew who Zhou Shuning was. It was him who sent a letter to Li Xuandu and asked Li Xuandu to go to Luzhou to save people.

Zhang Daishan repeated again, "It is Zhou Shuning, a disciple of Xuannv Sect. Her father is Zhou Tingchao, and she herself is Mr. Qingping's sister."

After his initial surprise, Zhang Luanshan slowly calmed down and asked, "As far as I know, Zhou Shuning is just a half-year-old child. How could she hurt Shishui's nephew?"

Zhang Feishan said lightly: "You may not be as good as your cultivation level as your youth. If you don't talk about others, just say that Mr. Qingping is also in his thirties. He is already in the realm of immortality, the leader of Taiping Sect, and the candidate for the future Taoist sect leader. On the same level as so many senior masters, they are so red. But we are still mixed here with greenery. People cannot be generalized."

Zhang Luanshan frowned, without making any trouble, and then asked, "What the hell is going on?"

Zhang Daishan said: "Although Zhou Shuning is not very old, she has excellent talent. Otherwise, Xuannv Sect would not have insisted on accepting her as a disciple. Although the Xuannv Sect is not as good as Zhengyi, Qingwei, Wudao, Butian, Yin and Yang sects, but in those days, they were also a major sect with several great masters of immortality, with a profound foundation. The Six Classics of Xuannv are comparable to the "Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Dharma" of our sect. Zhou Shuning worshipped Xuannv. After the sect, her cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, but she doesn't know where to learn "Wanmiao Cai Nu's Merit". Instead, Shishui's nephew has not been in the sect for many years, traveling abroad, and neglecting to practice. She is careless and is not an opponent. It's reasonable."

Zhang Luanshan felt something was wrong and said, "As far as I know, 'Wanmiao Cai Nu' is the unique skill of Dan Taiyun of Wudao Sect. How could Zhou Shuning learn it?"

At this moment, someone said, "Of course it is because of Shi Wuyue, 'Blood Guanyin'!"

Hearing this, everyone looked out the hall gate, but Zhang Jing was dead.

Now Zhang Jingchen is in charge of the two great immortals, "Tianshi Seal" and "Tianshi Male and Female Sword", inheriting the position of the Great Heavenly Master, and is the leader of the Zhengyi Sect, with a higher seniority than everyone else, so whether it is Zhang Yueshan or Zhang Luanshan all bowed one after another.

Zhang Jingchen waved his hand and told everyone not to be too polite. He walked into the main hall. Zhang Yueshan gave up and let Zhang Jingchen stand in the middle.

Zhang Jing's voice was low, "I already know about Shishui. The person has gone, but no matter what, we elders still have to seek justice for him."

Zhang Luanshan hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, there is probably something strange about this matter."

Zhang Jingchen glanced at him, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Luanshan said: "Over the years, we have been in the same spirit with the Xuannv Sect and have no conflicts. Even if there is any conflict between the younger generation, we should not be together for life and death. Is it because someone interferes with it and wants us to be the same. Break with Xuannv Sect?”

Zhang Yueshan said gloomyly: "The person is dead, the corpse has been experienced. It is indeed dead under the 'ice true energy' of Xuannv Sect. People and physical evidence are there. As the uncle of Shishui, how can you And help an outsider to speak? If this matter has nothing to do with you, you will talk less. I will deal with this matter and you don’t need your guidance!”

Zhang Luanshan was stunned and did not argue with Zhang Yueshan, but looked at Zhang Jingchen.

Zhang Jingchen said lightly: "Since the ascension of the old master, my Zhengyi sect's prestige has been much worse than before. Such as Cihang Sect and Xuannv Sect, they are alienated from my Zhengyi sect and gradually turn to the Li teacher in the north. Disciple. Now that our Zhengyi Sect has died, if we dare not stand up and seek justice, then what will our other allies view us? Will they be disconnected from us? Not to mention personal grudges, it is just for Zhengyi We must not give in to the prestige of the sect."

Seeing that Zhang Luanshan was still about to speak, Zhang Jingchen's face was slightly dark and said coldly: "Li Xuandu treats Zhou Shuning as his own. Zhou Shuning relies on having Li Xuandu as his backer, so he doesn't take our sect seriously. You should Understand this principle. I also know that you and Li Xuan have a friendship, but don’t forget that your surname is Zhang but Li. You are from Zhengyi Sect, not from Qingwei Sect. If you still can’t get entangled Qing, if you can't understand this simple truth, then you can go to the Demon Suppression Platform and think about it carefully!”

After saying that, Zhang Jingchen walked straight out of the hall, and everyone followed him. Only Zhang Daishan looked at Zhang Luanshan before leaving and signaled him not to force him.

In the end, only Zhang Luanshan was left standing in the hall.
