The moon crescents over Jiuzhou.

In the Luzong temple in Dali Yuzhou, the moonlight shines through the window like reading a book. On the table, on a piece of paper made of slightly astringent material, is written "Stay away from upside-down dreams."

On the river near Yushan of the Zhuzhi sect, the outsider Zhiguo was fishing in the upper reaches. There was a young Taoist priest in the lower reaches. He threw his pole into the water. Ha, fishing on the lower side of the wind can catch big fish.

In Changning County, the capital of Yuxuan Kingdom, inside a house with a courtyard full of flowers, the moonlight shines on the pavilion, and a woman has finished painting her brows with hibiscus. Both the person and the moon are charming.

On the first floor of the Bamboo House in Luoluoshan, Chen Ping'an in a green shirt blew out his reading lamp and walked out of the Bamboo House. In the dead of night, he came to the stone table by the cliff alone, covered with moonlight.

The moon is white, the wind is clear, and the pine waves are like the sounds of nature.

On this mountain cliff not far from Hehuan Mountain, in addition to the childlike protector of the country in Qingxing Kingdom, there are also the old head of the Zhang family in Tiancao County with white hair and beard, and the female sword fairy Zhang Caiqin.

The young swordsman Zhang Yujiao, the bearded and frog-bearded Zhang family worships Qi Gu, a martial artist in the golden body realm. The female disciple Lu Mo. The female cultivator of the Chuiqingfeng lineage of the Jinque sect, Jinlu. There is also an outsider, she comes from Hehuan Mountain.

The girl Qi practitioner from Fengle Town at the foot is named Ni Qing and her Taoist name is "Qingni". She carries an oil-paper umbrella on her back and a cotton parcel on her shoulder.

There were messages that shone brightly in the night sky, and messages were sent to the mountains one after another. The soldiers and horses from all walks of life advanced in an orderly manner, with overwhelming momentum. It was smoother than expected. Cheng Qian became more and more sure that the treasonous Jinque sect had abandoned it.

Disciple Zhao Fuyang is already a turtle in a jar.

At this moment, the ripples outside the cliff swayed like water patterns blown by the wind.

A middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a lotus crown appeared out of thin air. After appearing outside the cliff, the Taoist priest stepped towards the cliff and stood still.

We could have arrived here quietly, so those deliberately stirred spiritual energy ripples were like saying hello, knocking on the door with the hosts, reminding them that guests were coming.

But Qi Gu and others were still frightened, and mistakenly thought they were the desperate assassins from Hehuan Mountain. They sneaked here and wanted to fight them until death.

Just when Qi Gu saw the other party's Taoist priest's attire clearly, he felt a little relieved. He just took a closer look at the Taoist crown on the other person's head to make sure that he was not blinded. Qi Gu instantly raised his heart to his throat.

, I was a little overwhelmed for a while.

Based on this unusual crown style in the mountains, it can be determined that its legal lineage must have come from Baiyujing Nanhua City.

Zhang Qiong is slightly better than Qi Gu. He has not seen many mountain monks worthy of the name in his life, let alone such a close relationship. After thinking about it, he cupped his hands and said, "Tiancao County Zhang

Qiong, I have met Cao Tianjun."

In the vast world, apart from the few small Taoist temples of Shen Gao Sect whose incense has faded to almost nothing, there are only two Taoist branches, Baopingzhou Lingfei Temple and Beiju Luzhou Qingliang Sect. Only Taoist priests are qualified to wear this Taoist crown.

Cheng Qian and Zhang Qiong, two golden elixir immortals, had both participated in that war, so they recognized the identity of this Taoist priest at a glance. He was the old temple master of Lingfei Temple in the south, Tianjun Cao Rong.

He is also one of the direct disciples of Master Bai Yujinglu who stayed in Haoran Tianxia.

But before Lingfei Temple was upgraded from a Taoist temple to a Taoist palace, Cao Rong resigned as the temple's master and went down the mountain to travel.

Cao Rong bowed his head and returned the gift with a smile. He did not look down upon Zhang Qiong because he was just a Jindan monk. He smiled and said, "I have met fellow Daoist Zhang."

In particular, Cheng Qian, who admired the peak, saw this Taoist heavenly king who had made a brilliant appearance in the battle of Laolong City. Without saying a word, he gave a rare Taoist ceremony.

After three rituals and nine kowtows, the child-like Protector of the Country of Qingxing knelt down on the ground, cupped his hands on the ground, but did not touch the bottom of his head, and kowtowed on the back of his left hand. In Taoism, it was called "empty head".

Cheng Qian knelt down and said loudly: "The current head of the Jinque Sect, Cheng Qian, the current head of the Jinque Sect, pays homage to Patriarch Zheng!"

Cao Rong is a pseudonym, his real name is Zheng Ze, and his Taoist name is "Tianrui". Zheng Ze, who was born in Qidi, was a poetry collector.

These secrets will only be revealed in the golden and jade genealogy of Lingfei Temple. Lingfei Temple has always had strict rules and strict hierarchy. Who dares to reveal such secrets of the ancestor to the outside world.

Only because the Jinque Sect and Lingfei Temple have such a "fragrant relationship", Cheng Qian, as the current leader, was able to know the inside story through word of mouth from past leaders.

Cao Rong stretched out a palm, held it up a little, and said calmly: "Get up."

Facing a disciple like Cheng Qian who belonged to his own family lineage, Cao Rong was not so amiable.

At the same time, Cao Rong spoke from his heart: "Cheng Qian, just now at Pomo Peak, the master master personally issued a decree, allowing you, the founder of the Jinque Sect, to resume your status as a Taoist priest of Lingfei Temple. From now on, you, the Jinque Sect, and Lingfei Temple will be together.

Fei Guan, even if we are one family, our ancestral homes are all in Nanhua City, Baiyu Jing."

Facing the ancestor Zheng Ze, who had never been masked before, Cheng Qian bowed his head in the air without nodding to the ground. This was not because he was not respectful enough to Cao Tianjun, but because the Jinque sect had been enjoying the glory for so many years and could not compete with Lingfei.

The concept of "recognizing ancestors and returning to the clan" was why Cheng Qian saluted like this when he saw Zheng Ze.

Cao Rong naturally took advantage of this.

Jindan Cheng Qian is indeed a talent that can be made.

Cheng Qian was horrified when he heard that the "Master Master" had also appeared in Pomo Peak. Even though Cheng Qian's Taoist heart was as tough as a rock, he couldn't help but be extremely excited. There were waves in his heart, but he tried his best to stabilize his Taoist heart.

He still looked solemn on the surface, facing the direction of Pomo Peak, and knelt down again, this time touching his forehead to the ground with a banging sound.

Cao Rong nodded in approval.

Speaking of the turmoil in the Hehuan Mountains tonight, the root cause of this great conflict is actually an "internal strife" that occurred in one's own family lineage.

Cheng Qian was the person who respected his teachers the most, but because Zhao Fuyang, who was expelled from the Jinque sect's genealogy, was entrenched in Hehuan Mountain, he dared to act arrogantly, secretly hid a portrait of Lu Chen, and created a lotus crown, so

It was only then that Cheng Qian came up with those murderous and cruel words, "Anyone who does not have this way but obeys it will be punished by death."

Lu Chen had casually chatted with Cao Rong about this matter before. Although his words were ridiculing, he complained that Cheng Qian, a little bastard, had caused a lot of trouble for him.

But Cao Rong knew very well that his master still admired Cheng Qian somewhat.

Cao Rong glanced at Lu Mo. According to his master, three thousand years ago, she was a dressing maid beside an old friend, and she was extremely loyal.

In this life, she was a female martial artist. Just because Lu Mo was reunited in the back alley of Fengle Town after a long separation but did not know each other, Lu Chen, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Mo gained his "original appearance" in an ignorant moment and was able to reborn.

With the earthly immortal roots and bones of golden branches and jade leaves, you now have the capital to practice immortal magic.

Master has made arrangements regarding Lu Mo and the stone turtle at Baihua Lake Dragon King Temple.

Especially the small-town girl named Qingni, the master is very fond of it. As for how to end it, Cao Rong, as a disciple, has to share some of the worries for the master.

Cheng Qian stood up and remained silent. He did not even dare to guess where Headmaster Lu was at this moment.

Cao Rong continued to say in his heart: "There is no way to bring about blessings and misfortunes, but people call it upon themselves. The Master Teacher is here in person. It is because of your sincerity that this will happen."

Cheng Qian bowed his head in silence as a sincere reply to his ancestor's words of praise.

But what Cao Rong called "you two" made the extremely smart Cheng Qian instantly understand that it was probably not his turn to clean up the family in Hehuan Mountain.

Cao Rong had previously used his magical power on the top of Pomo Peak to watch the appearance of Zhao Fuyang in Yunyun Mansion from a distance. If his master had not "blocked the way", this mountain dragon, which should have succeeded in winding up the mountain, had horns on its head.

It looks a bit like a dragon.

When it comes to Taoist cultivation qualifications, Zhao Fuyang is indeed very good. Looking at the mountains and rivers of Aquarius Continent, they are considered to be superior.

After learning about the Taoist priest's distinguished identity, Zhang Caiqin and the others who worshiped Qi Gu hurriedly saluted Cao Tianjun. Cao Rong smiled and bowed to everyone in return.

Cao Rong said: "The soldiers and horses of all countries have been planning carefully for a long time. The encirclement and suppression of Hehuan Mountain is an arrow. Now that the matter has come to this, I don't dare to let you retreat. Therefore, all forces can follow the plan

The planned itinerary is to advance all the way to Fengle Town at the foot of Hehuan Mountain. However, on Hehuan Mountain, Lingfei Palace Xiangjun, Wen Qingxin, and Jinxian An Xingzi are all currently in Fenwan Mansion, and they will be given to Qingxing Kingdom by then.

His Majesty the Emperor and the Zhang family of Tiancao County made an announcement that Pindao will stay here until noon. If you are not satisfied with the result, no matter who you are, you can come here to find Pindao and ask for an explanation."

This is equivalent to a Taoist heavenly king putting the final word on this storm.

Cao Rong's words were extremely polite and he said he "dare not". Not to mention the old Jianghus like Zhang Caiqin and Qi Gu who didn't believe it, I'm afraid even unexperienced girls like Jin Lu and Ni Qing wouldn't believe it.

Cheng Qian naturally wouldn't have any objections.

Zhang Qiao frowned slightly, but said nothing.

"If you want to blame, blame the poor Lingfei Palace. The lack of strict discipline on the children is why Zhao Fuyang behaved like this."

Speaking of this, Cao Rong laughed at himself: "As written in a certain book about ghosts and ghosts that was very popular in the market under the mountain, it seems that there are monsters with roots and a way out, and if they get into trouble, they have a way out."

Zhang Qiong smiled, and the old man's brows relaxed a little.

How many years has it been since Zhao Fuyang left the Jinque Sect, not to mention that the Jinque Sect is not a descendant of Lingfei Palace, so it cannot be blamed on Lingfei Palace.

Cao Tianjun can say this, which is equivalent to taking the responsibility for the smoky Hehuan Mountain, which is considered kind.

Cao Rong continued: "Next, Lingfei Palace will open a dojo here. The size of the dojo depends on how you negotiate later. The palace owner Xiangjun is going to spend money to buy some hills with you. As for the price, it will be discussed between the two parties.

If we can’t agree, we’ll drop the matter and don’t force it. If we can agree on the deal and the deal is done, that would be the best. In the future, the Taoist temple will work with several surrounding countries, including the Qingxing Kingdom, to see how they are destined to teach and accept disciples.”

Zhang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. Cao Tianjun and Lingfei Palace were indeed sincere in their actions. They gave several imperial courts and the Zhang family of Tiancao County several steps to step down, both in public and private affairs. Otherwise, it would not be difficult for Cao Rong.

There is no need to show up at all, just let the Xiangjun Patriarch quietly take away Zhao Fuyang and others. There is no need to talk nonsense to Zhang Qiong, a little golden elixir.

Cao Rong said in his heart: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, Pindao has a pill here, which is of small use. Mr. Xiang will bring it to Daoist Zhang later."

Zhang Qiong was greatly surprised, "No reward for no merit, what is Cao Tianjun doing?"

Cao Rong's so-called "little use", even though Cao Rong did not reveal the name of the elixir, Zhang Qiao knew clearly that this unprovoked gift was definitely not light.

To put it bluntly, is it possible for a general miraculous medicine to be given to the mighty Taoist Heavenly Lord, the direct disciple of Master Lu?

Cao Rong explained with a smile: "Pindao has a friend who admires Daoyou Zhang very much. He said that the more earthly immortals like Daoyou Zhang in Aquarius Continent, the more the better. He also said that the family tradition of a family with one surname, the wider the family, the better.

The more it can influence the customs of other families with foreign surnames. In addition, Xiangjun has not had much experience in going down the mountain and has not dealt with the court many times. It is inevitable that she lacks experience. When she opens a dojo here in the future, she will be neighbors with the Zhang family in Tiancao County.

, Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, this has been true both on the mountain and down the mountain since ancient times. If you have any trouble, Daoist friend Zhang, please give her some advice. You might as well say a few unpleasant words to her, lest Xiangjun relies on his Taoist lineage and realm to do things regardless of them. Eight

The air leaks from the face.”

Zhang Xiao hesitated for a moment, stopped being pretentious, and said with a smile: "Then I will shamelessly accept this great gift, and I would like to thank Cao Tianjun."

It's just that Lao Jindan was inevitably confused. Since he was Cao Tianjun's friend, why would he call himself "senior"?

Thinking of the previous trip between Zhang Caiqin and Hong Yangbo, as well as the hospitality of Luolu Mountain, Zhang Qiong, an old Jindan, immediately made a guess in his mind after hearing the elegant meaning.

But in fact, Cao Rong just found a random reason to give away the elixir.
