12,12 Impermanence(2/2)
The shopkeeper smelled it, looked at it, and then wanted to take a bite.
However, when Zou Liang stopped him, General Zuo did not tell him that it was a human being. He only said that it was dirty and had been picked up from the ground.
The shopkeeper didn't ask any questions. After studying it for a while, he said, "This is good salt. It looks like Yuxuan salt."
"How to distinguish this? Is Yuxuan salt sold by Tianyuxuan?" Lin Yehuo asked.
The shopkeeper waved his hand, "Yuxuan salt is just a general name. To put it simply, this salt is produced in the salt lake, not sea salt or ground salt."
…
After leaving the salt shop, Lin Yehuo dragged Zou Liang and whispered, "It would be exciting if Tian Yuxuan was related to this case. I heard that Zhan Zhao demolished Shen Tianyu's house and the roof collapsed."
Zou Liang sighed, "Zhan Zhao is really a talented person. If we let him go to Xixia or Daliao Palace to stay for a year and a half..."
"Or put it this way." Lin Yehuo clapped his hands, "The imperial city of Kaifeng is still in chaos only because Master Bao can suppress that cat demon!"
Zou Liang nodded - that makes sense!
The two were chatting when there was a sudden noise not far ahead, and some frightened passers-by exclaimed - Jianghu people are fighting!
Zou Liang and Lin Yehuo quickly stepped forward to watch.
…
"Ah sneeze..."
As soon as he walked onto the second floor of Taibai Residence, Zhan Zhao looked up to the sky and sneezed.
Bai Yutang, who was walking behind him, subconsciously looked around to see if there were any corpses or murder cases.
Zhan Zhao rubbed his nose and cursed, who was talking bad about Master Cat? Then he heard a pleasant call, "Cat Cat!"
Zhan Zhao looked up and saw that where they usually sat by the window, the fourth son was waving to them. Sitting at the same table as the fourth son were Xiao Liangzi, Tianzun and Yin Hou.
Bai Yutang walked up and was also surprised - he originally wanted to fool the Shen family and his son, but he didn't expect that his master and Yin Hou were really here.
When Tianzun and Yin Hou saw the two of them standing stupidly at the stairs, they reached out and waved at the same time.
When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw their master waving, they naturally ran over obediently. Shen Mao and Shen Tianyu who followed behind them were dumbfounded.
This time, not only Shen Mao, but also Shen Tianyu had stars in his eyes - a living god!
Tianzun and Yin Hou were drinking, while Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi were doing their homework. There were the Four Treasures of the Study and a few books on the table.
Zhan Zhao sat down next to the fourth son, curious to see what he was writing, and asked, "Didn't you go to Taixue to listen to the Demon King's lecture?"
"That's it." The little fourth son poked at the book, "Yao Yao has left some homework."
"What about the Demon King?" Bai Yutang asked Tianzun.
Tianzun let out a "hum" sound.
"There was an exam before Taixue. He stayed there to read the papers with Lin Xiao and the others." Yin Hou said while looking up at the Shen family's father and son who were standing respectfully at the table.
Zhan Zhao asked the Shen family and his son to sit down, and told the two elders that Shen Mao was the candidate who had just competed with Cheng Yan.
One sentence attracted the attention of the two young and old people sitting here.
Tianzun and Yin Hou were originally a little curious about the case of people turning into salt, so they asked Shen Mao together, "Who is the person who turned into salt? From which sect?"
Shen Mao quickly sat up straight and answered, "The candidate's name is Feng Sheng, from the Maoshan School."
When Shen Mao spoke, the people listening here were a little confused.
Shen Tianyu muttered to himself, "Maoshan..."
"Didn't the Maoshan sect produce Taoist priests?" Zhan Zhao was confused and asked Bai Yutang, "Do the Taoist priests also take the imperial examination?"
The Fifth Master doesn’t know if monks and Taoists can take the exam for merit, but it is indeed a bit weird.
"Speaking of which..." Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "Who is the leader of the Maoshan Sect now?"
Bai Yutang thought for a while and asked Tianzun, "Is it Tao Mingzhen? Or is it Tianshi Liang Jing?"
"If Tao Ming is not dead, it will be Tao Ming. If he is dead, it will be Liang Jing, the leader of the Three Palaces." After Tianzun finished speaking, he looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "The Maoshan Sect is huge and not easy to mess with."
"I don't see them moving around much in the world." Zhan Zhao asked, "Are their martial arts very high?"
"In addition to the Xiandong Palace, the Maoshan Sect is divided into three palaces and five temples. There are many Taoist priests. Xianyang Temple is one of the five temples. Do you all know Mingxi?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang laughed dryly - think of that fierce Master Mingxi, and the back of their necks felt cold.
"Even if Ming Xi is a master, he can only be ranked in the top ten in Maoshan, not even the top five." Yin Hou said quietly, "The reason why the Maoshan sect is not famous in the world is because they mainly don't follow the living people. Dealing with people in the Five Views is better, but those in the Three Palaces basically don’t come out during the day.”
Xiao Liangzi asked seriously, "Is it true? Are you really catching ghosts?"
"Who knows, the three palaces are quite mysterious, and no outsider has ever been to Xiandong Mansion." Tianzun poured a glass of wine and said, "But the disciples of the Maoshan Sect should not come to take the exam for fame. They want to be an official or a businessman." These are things that involve dealing with living people, unlike their usual style."
Yin Hou asked Shen Mao, "Are you sure it's the Maoshan sect?"
Shen Mao nodded, "Yeah! He had to declare his family name before the fight, so he said he was a disciple of the Maoshan Sect's Immortal Cave Mansion."
Tianzun and Yin Hou both frowned.
Zhan Zhao was also surprised, "He's actually from Xiandong Mansion?"
While they were chatting, there was a burst of messy footsteps at the top of the stairs. Zhan Zhao squinted and looked towards the top of the stairs, "This footsteps sounds slightly familiar..."
Living up to expectations, Mahan of the Dynasty rushed upstairs and shouted out the phrase they most often said, "Master Zhan! Something happened!"
Zhan Zhao looked up to the sky, picked up the fourth son and put him on his lap, sighed and prepared to accept the blow - what happened this time? A dead person or a collapsed house?
"Two gangs of Jianghu people are fighting in the east of the city. One side is still a Taoist priest." Chao Chao said, "The other group says it is Tian Yuxuan..."
"Oops." Shen Tianyu stood up, saluted Tianzun and Yin Hou, and then hurriedly took Shen Mao downstairs.
Zhan Zhao asked Ma Han of the Dynasty to bring some government officials there, and Ma Han said that Ouyang Shao Zheng had just driven over with the Imperial City Army.
Bai Yutang whispered to Zhan Zhao, "There is indeed something wrong with Shen Tianyu. He seems to be frightened by something."
Zhan Zhao nodded, "I also felt that he was a little uncomfortable when the Maoshan sect was mentioned just now."
