Wang Zhice, as a Taoist priest and the head of a sect, has a deep cultivation skills. He smiled calmly and said: "Master Wei Lian is famous all over the world and has a noble status. How lucky we are to meet you today, but for a poor Taoist."
Wang Zhice said to Xiao Jinyu and Xiyue Ersou: "Master Xiao, my two uncles, I have something important to do and I can't continue to accompany you. I'll take my leave now and have a drink with you someday."
Xiao Jinyu and Xiyue Ersou didn't hold back too much, and they all bid farewell to Wang Zhice. Wei Anyu didn't take Wang Zhice's departure seriously, and Wei Linghui's mind was all on Xiao Jinyu, and he didn't pay attention to Wang Zhice's departure.
After Xiao Jinyu lost sight of Wang Zhice, he turned around and said to Wei Anyu: "Brother, both of them are my uncles. The two elders of the Huashan sect are known as the 'Ers of Xiyue'."
Wei Anyu nodded, as if he had seen the courtesy. Although Xiyue Ersou had been in Jianghu for a long time, he also knew that Wei Anyu in front of him was not an ordinary person. It could be said that Wei Anyu was more noble than the ordinary provincial governor.
Although Wei Chongxun and Wei Anyu and his son are no longer traveling in the world, many influential people in the world know that the Wei family father and son came from the famous Maoshan Qing sect, one of the three major sects of Taoism today.
Therefore, although he had heard Wei Anyu's name before, it was the first time that the Ersou of Xiyue saw him. Knowing that he maintained his noble status and was not as polite as a common man, the Ersou was not angry, but he did not come forward to say hello.
Wei Anyu smiled slightly and said: "Some time ago, my father invited Brother Xiao to join my Shangqing sect, but Brother Xiao declined. Why join the Huashan Sect now?"
The thin old Taoist interjected: "The old Taoist knows that he is a talented person, and the position of head of our sect has been vacant for a long time, so he is invited to take over the leadership of Huashan."
Wei Anyu said: "You two have a keen eye for talents. Brother Xiao is outstanding. It is a wise move for him to take over Huashan. I admire you."
The two old men saw that although Wei Anyu was aloof and arrogant, he was the second one to praise their ridiculous behavior. The first one to praise them was Xue Taizhen, which immediately made the two old men feel proud, and the unhappiness he had felt just now disappeared.
The fat old Taoist smiled heartily and said: "Master Wei Lian, I have heard for a long time that you have a unique insight and extraordinary insights. When I saw you today, it turned out to be true. You are really a great talent with long-lasting wisdom."
Wei Anyu frowned slightly, but then returned to normal and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, my brother and sister have arrived at your door and have been taking care of your home for a long time. As the host, do you want to reward us brother and sister?"
Xiao Jinyu smiled casually and said: "What the elder brother said is, please take a seat and let's have a few drinks here."
Wei Linghui frowned slightly and said, "There's not much good wine here. Let's go to your house. The carriage is waiting outside. Let's leave quickly."
Wei Linghui didn't wait for him to reply, and dragged him out. When the five people came to the door, they saw two carriages with two carriages, and twelve knights in fine costumes, all standing on both sides with respectful expressions.
Xiao Jinyu glanced at the twelve knights and the two coachmen, and then felt a slight shiver in his heart. The twelve knights and the two coachmen all had thick hands and feet, and their temples were bulging. At a glance, it was obvious that they were martial arts masters.
These fourteen people are actually servants, which shows that the Maoshan Qing sect has a profound foundation, and what the world knows about the Maoshan Qing sect is only the tip of the iceberg.
Wei Linghui and Xiao Jinyu got on the first carriage, Wei Anyu also got on the first carriage, and Xiyue Ersou was invited to the second carriage.
The two double carriages looked low-key and simple on the outside, but were comfortable and luxurious inside. Under the control of the coachman, the carriages galloped away, and twelve knights rode fast, guarding the two carriages.
Wei Linghui and Xiao Jinyu were sitting side by side in the carriage. Wei Linghui giggled and told Xiao Jinyu an interesting anecdote about how she and her brother made it miserable for the wealthy gangsters who wanted to snatch the secrets.
Xiao Jinyu also laughed while listening, obviously in a good mood. The two of them talked and laughed as if no one was around, like a couple in love.
Wei Anyu looked on with a smile and said nothing. He saw that Xiao Jinyu was of good character and good at martial arts. Sure enough, he was a good man. Such a sister-in-law was worthy of his sister. The Xiao family of Lanling and the Wei family of Jingzhao were also well matched.
The sky was getting brighter, and the thunderous sound of iron hooves rolled down the ground, tearing apart the misty morning mist and the calmness of the woods, startling the birds in the woods to fly into the sky.
There was a "whispering" sound of horses neighing, the thunderous sound of iron hooves suddenly stopped, and the twelve knights on purple horses pulled the reins in their hands at the same time.
Twelve purple horses of the same color sprayed hot air to stop their galloping bodies, and dug dozens of deep grooves on the dirt road in front of the Taoist temple.
The two carriages did not stop as quickly as the twelve knights. Instead, they slowed down in advance and stopped smoothly behind the twelve knights. The twelve knights were neatly divided into two rows, dismounted and stood still.
Just like a man marching in the army.
When the smoke cleared, Xiao Jinyu, Wei Linghui and others got off the carriage and came to a brand new Taoist temple. The Taoist temple occupies a large area, as big as three courtyards.
The door plaque of the Taoist temple has three large characters "Shangqing Temple" written in careful and neat handwriting. There is a line of small characters below the three large characters. Xiao Jinyu took a quick look and saw that it turned out to be "a gift from the Holy God Civil and Military Emperor Li Shi" in ten small characters.
Although Xiao Jinyu paid little attention to government affairs, he also knew that the current emperor's name was Li Shi, and he was the eldest son of Emperor Daizong. He had ordered the country to search for the whereabouts of his biological mother Shen Zhenzhu many times, but she had not been found yet.
Wei Anyu said with a smile: "This Shangqing Temple was built by the emperor today to protect Brother Xiao's daily life from being disturbed at night."
Xiao Jinyu did not feel moved, but smiled bitterly and said: "Are you going to order me to become a Taoist priest today?"
Wei Anyu smiled and said: "That's not true. I just built a house for you and want you to become an official. I just don't know if you are willing to become an official."
Xiao Jinyu saw that he was smiling mysteriously, so he didn't speak to him. Although he was from the Lanling Xiao family, he was now a member of the world and really didn't want to have anything to do with the imperial court.
Therefore, he avoided answering Wei Anyu's question and walked quickly into the Taoist temple. The Taoist temple was decorated with carved beams and painted pillars, white walls and black tiles, and the bell tower and drum tower faced each other. It was indeed a serious Taoist temple.
In the backyard of the Taoist temple, the dilapidated and ruined mountain temple is still exactly the same as before he left. As for the tomb of his loyal old servant Wang Shu Wang Tianyin, it is not far to the west of the Taoist temple.
Through the flower window on the courtyard wall, I saw Wang Tianyin's tomb, which had been neatly taken care of, and there were still fresh fruits on the tombstone. Xiao Jinyu couldn't help but feel sad when he saw the things and missed the past.
Seeing that he was sad, Wei Linghui quickly comforted him and said: "Brother Yu, no one has touched the things you left, why don't you check it out." After Xiao Jinyu entered the secret room in the belly of the mountain god statue, he saw that everything in it was exactly the same as when he left, and
Nothing changed, so he tapped the corner three times, knocked hard twice, and tapped three more times.
There was just a click, and a square hole suddenly appeared on the ground under the desk. Xiao Jinyu reached out and touched in the square hole, and then took out a red lacquered wooden box.
Xiao Jinyu tapped the bottom of the wooden box twice and three times, and then the wooden box suddenly popped open. When he took a closer look, his face suddenly changed, as if he had seen a ghost during the day.
Wei Linghui saw that he looked wrong and didn't know what happened, so he quickly asked: "Brother Yu, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Jinyu said with chattering teeth: "The secret book has been stolen."
Hearing Xiao Jinyu's words, Wei Linghui was startled at first, and then her expression changed. She stretched out her hand to grab the wooden box and took a look, but it was empty. She had no intention of keeping the Little Wuxiang Magic Skill for herself.
In terms of the inner alchemy skills of the Maoshan Qing sect, they are much more powerful than the Xiao Wuxiang magic skills. However, she, her brother and others have been guarding it for so many days, but the secret book has been lost, and they have obviously become suspects.
Thinking of this, Wei Linghui's face turned pale for a moment, her eyes filled with tears, and she was so angry that she almost cried. Xiao Jinyu said hurriedly: "Huier, don't worry, maybe I put it in the wrong place."
Xiao Jinyu took the wooden box and inspected it carefully, and suddenly said softly: "What is this? A piece of silk cloth?"
Xiao Jinyu took out the silk cloth from the wooden box and found that there were many small characters on it. Wei Linghui came over to take a look and saw that the handwriting was beautiful and dignified, obviously written by a woman.
The silk cloth said: "Xiao Langjun is here to greet you. Lang Jun is successful in martial arts. He is extremely talented. His secret book is floating in the rivers and lakes. How can he know the blessings and misfortunes? Therefore, I return the jade to Zhao intact. I hope you will not be surprised." The inscription on the lower right corner of the silk cloth is "Yushu Mountain Jade"
Xue Hongxian, the wife of Duan Kexie in Huangguan."
Xiao Jinyu said: "Duan Kexie's wife Xue Hongxian and Xue Nuxia are really heavenly beings. I hid the small Wuxiang magic skill here, but she found it and took it away."
"It's true that the jade has returned to Zhao intact. I really feel sorry for bothering Hui'er and my eldest brother to guard an empty box."
Wei Linghui's frowned brows unfurled. She was surprised and delighted, causing her considerable size to surge. She said angrily: "It's all because of your carelessness that I almost didn't scare anyone."
After Wei Linghui said that, she became so angry that she stopped talking to Xiao Jinyu. Seeing that she was really angry, Xiao Jinyu quickly flattered her and said, "Sister Hui'er, I was careless. Please forgive me this time. I can't stand it anymore."
I'll give you a 'Seven Star Fist'".
When Wei Linghui heard him talk about the Seven Star Fist, he immediately turned his face, recalling that when he first met Brother Yu, a Seven Star Fist almost killed the injured brother, and said hurriedly: "Brother Yu, are your injuries healed?
"
After saying that, she wanted to untie Xiao Jinyu's clothes to check, but Xiao Jinyu quickly stopped her and said with a smile: "It's been fine for a long time. There's no need to look. It's really fine. I won't coax you."
As he spoke, he held her in his arms and comforted her gently for a long time. Wei Linghui was so comforted by Xiao Jinyu's sweet words that she turned from negative to positive and turned back into a charming and smiling girl. The IQ of girls in love sometimes becomes slow.
, Wei Linghui, who is usually smart and agile, could not withstand Xiao Jinyu's gentle offensive.
Wei Linghui washed his face, tidied up briefly, and then joined hands with Xiao Jinyu to leave the secret room under the mountain god statue, and then went to the front yard of the Taoist temple to report to Wei Anyu about the secret book.
