The afternoon sun was shining brightly, making the air distorted.

Even if there is a breeze blowing, it does not bring coolness, but suffocating heat.

At this moment, a slim figure holding a light yellow paper umbrella appeared in front of the Qingfeng Temple.

The Taoist boy guarding there, sweating profusely from the heat, quickly came forward to greet the female guest and asked her why she came.

Soon after, Li Kun hurried over wrapped in cotton clothes and personally welcomed the woman into the temple.

After Fairy Chi Lian's attack, the repairs on Bai Cui Tower had not yet been completed.

So he chose Qinglin Hall as the place to entertain guests.

Firstly, this place is quiet and elegant, suitable for in-depth exchanges and discussions. Secondly, the name of the palace, Qinglin, echoes the Yuanyuan Gate on Qinglin Mountain, which can be regarded as a silent declaration of status.

Wei Tao had just had lunch and was preparing to continue studying the possible difficulties in deducing the transition from rotation five to six.

Suddenly there was a knock on the courtyard door.

A Taoist boy was standing outside sweating profusely.

"Deacon Wei, the temple master wants you to go to Qinglin Hall now."

Wei Tao opened the door and asked, "Did the temple owner tell you what happened?"

The Taoist boy bowed, leaned closer and said in a lower voice, "Return to the deacon, the temple master asked you to prepare in advance. Someone may ask about Fairy Chi Lian and Mo Xiang Tower later."

"Is it someone from the Supervisory Department who is here?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, his tone slightly surprised.

The Taoist boy replied, "The temple master and disciples are talking about Lu Guiren who came from the imperial court. Whether he is an official of the Military Supervision Department, he did not say clearly."

"I understand, let's get over it."

Wei Tao returned to the house, found a Taoist robe that he had almost never worn before, put on a crown that was gathering dust, followed the little Taoist boy out of the courtyard, and walked quickly towards the Qinglin Hall.

He also didn't expect that Lu Zhihe would come so quickly.

Yesterday, we just dealt with the arrest of Mr. He of Luoshui City who came to inquire about the news. Today, the real owner came directly to the door. The time interval between the two was less than one day.

Not long after, Wei Tao entered the Qinglin Hall.

Then he saw the young woman with a charming smile and beautiful eyes.

He was sitting opposite Guanzhu Li, drinking tea and chatting.

She was wearing a light yellow dress, with a slender figure. The long hair tied behind her head was not pure black, but had a touch of orange, which gave people a bright and warm feeling.

"This is the guard of Benguanwei."

Li Kun stood up with a smile and made an introduction, "Deacon Wei is young and promising. Within a few months of joining the temple, he has already made outstanding achievements.

Not only are all the disciples in the temple respectful, but even on Qinglin Mountain, he is favored by the elders of the academy and is being vigorously cultivated as a key talent."

His face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he spoke seriously.

The woman in yellow skirt looked at Wei Tao who had just entered the palace, her eyes flashed,

Li Kun waved to Wei Tao, "Junior Brother Wei, this is the Observer of the Military Supervisor, Lu, who made a special trip this time to learn about the rebellion between Fairy Chi Lian and Mo Xianglou.

If you carefully recall your experiences at that time, perhaps Observer Lu will be able to find valuable clues."

"Pindao has seen the land observation envoy."

Wei Tao took a step forward and bowed deeply.

Lu Zhihe stood up and returned the courtesy.

She smiled and spoke softly, "Deacon Wei, there is no need to be polite. Although I am in the Yamen now and you are in the sect, I am from the sect and we are brothers and sisters of the same sect. Don't make things too difficult."

A clever Taoist boy had already come in, served new refreshments to the three of them, and then left quietly, closing the palace door gently.

Half an hour later.

Lu Zhihe slowly walked out of Qingfeng Temple.

She stopped on the stone steps and bowed slightly, "I gained a lot from this long conversation. The little lady feels that the trip was worthwhile. I would also like to thank you two for your generous teachings, which gave me a better understanding of the situation I am about to face."

Gained an in-depth understanding.”

Li Kun smiled all over his face and returned the courtesy, "If Inspector Lu has any doubts, he can send someone to ask at any time. The old Taoist will definitely tell you everything he knows."

"The weather is hot, Guanzhu Li, and Deacon Wei, please stay. After everything is settled, I will set up a table and invite you two to the banquet."

She opened the paper umbrella to protect her from the sun, slowly turned around and left.

The slender and graceful figure gradually drifted away and soon disappeared from the end of sight.

"Senior Brother Li, what do you think?"

In front of the Taoist temple, Wei Tao withdrew his gaze and asked as if he had no idea.

Li Kun twirled a wisp of beard under his chin and said in a confused tone, "He is quite gentle and has a neither arrogant nor impetuous personality, which is quite inconsistent with the description in the rumors."

After a pause, he continued, "But we are only in contact with her for the first time, so we can't draw a conclusion directly."

Wei Tao nodded and asked, "With Senior Brother Li's eyes, can you tell what her level of strength is?"

Li Kun frowned, was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head, "I can't tell. She gave me a very strange feeling. I can't even see the traces of her practicing Xuanwu. Perhaps only by seeing her take action with my own eyes can I understand.

Know a thing or two.”

"Junior Brother Wei, have you discovered anything?"

Wei Tao sighed, "Even senior brother didn't notice it, so naturally I can't tell anything."

After sending Li Kun to his residence, Wei Tao walked slowly along the green path alone.

Taoist priests passing by kept bowing and saluting, but he didn't make any response. He kept lowering his head and thinking about something.

During the conversation in Qinglin Hall just now, Lu Zhihe gave him the same strange feeling.

The strange thing is that the main source of this strangeness turns out to be some kind of familiar feeling.

It was as if there was something about her that made him feel close to her.

This feeling is vague and vague.

Once he wanted to feel it carefully, it disappeared and he could not see its true face.

Wei Tao thought silently, walked around in a circle, and returned to the Green Bamboo Garden.

He quickly calmed down and continued to devote his mind to the deduction of how to enter the sixth cycle of Qi and blood.

……………………

A carriage slowed down slowly and stopped in front of a majestic gatehouse.

The car curtain opened, and a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard, wearing a lavender official uniform, came out.

He looked up at the tall gate tower, and his eyes fell on the plaque with strong handwriting, his eyes changing.

There are also two huge lion and tiger sculptures in front of the door, with teeth and claws showing, looking ferocious.

This is the residence of the Luoshui City Supervisor and Military Division.

After Taizu Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty established the country, he established two institutions to monitor and control the warriors in the world.

One is the patrol department.

Mainly responsible for acting on matters related to the seven sects.

The second is the Supervisory and Military Division.

The main job is to investigate and arrest the warriors who committed crimes.

This organization was originally a branch of Liumen.

But as time goes by, it gradually becomes independent from the six doors, like a giant beast that grows rapidly, extending its tentacles to many aspects of the world.

Although it is still borrowing the shell of Six Doors as usual, its power has already far exceeded Six Doors' control.

Until the Qinglian Sect suddenly emerged thirty years ago.

The Jianwu Division was severely damaged, and an unknown number of masters died in the battle with the Qinglian Cultists.

After that, after half a month of rest and recuperation, I gradually regained some vitality.

The middle-aged man gathered his thoughts and slowly stepped into the door.

It was quiet inside, no one was moving or talking, and there was almost no life.

He kept moving forward.

Quickly pass through the front lobby and arrive at the second courtyard at the back.

At this moment, his expression changed, full of smile, and he gently knocked on the half-open wooden door.

After a while, a burst of footsteps sounded from the courtyard.

There was a soft squeaking sound.

The old-looking wooden door was opened a crack.
