Therefore, there are countless people who come to him every day to discuss Taoism and lecture on scriptures.
Although Shi Zixuan's residence is a private residence, it has become a dojo in the inner city, and the people who come and go are all dignitaries.
Although Tai Shitong is a frequent visitor here, in terms of status, it really doesn't matter.
At this moment, Shi Zixuan was preaching in the front hall, so I couldn't see him.
Tai Shitong, led by the Taoist boy, rushed to the west wing to rest in the side hall.
Squeak~~~
The door was pushed open.
The Taoist boy waved his hand and made a petition: "Your Majesty, Taishi, please rest here for a while. I will report to you after the master's sermon is over."
Tai Shitong bowed his head respectfully: "Fairy boy, please excuse me. I know the rules here."
The corners of the Taoist boy's lips slightly raised: "In that case, please rest here for a moment while I invite you to bring some calming incense."
Tai Shitong smiled lightly and nodded: "Thank you, Fairy Boy."
Immediately.
The Taoist boy bowed and left, closing the door.
Not long after.
The Taoist boy returned, holding a box of soothing incense in his hand.
Tai Shitong raised his eyes and looked at the Taoist boy. He was middle-aged and had a rather heroic spirit. He was no longer the fairy boy who first received him. He couldn't help but be curious: "Huh? Where is the fairy boy from before?"
"Oh~~" the Taoist smiled calmly, "He has other things to do, so he asked me to burn incense for the distinguished guests."
"That's right." Tai Shitong exhaled, but still frowned, "Why haven't I seen you before?"
The Taoist opened the incense burner, put in the soothing incense prepared in advance, lit it, and immediately put the copper lid on it: "I'm here for the first time in the past two days. It's normal for your distinguished guest not to recognize me."
The Taoist is none other than Zhu Tong.
When Zhu Tong took advantage of the Taoist boy to retrieve the soothing incense, he pulled him into the alleyway and punched him unconscious. Then he took his place and went to the side hall of the west wing, preparing to burn incense and apply medicine to Tai Shitong.
Tai Shi Tong had been busy for several days and had never been to Shi Zixiao's residence, so he had no doubts anymore and just exclaimed: "What an honor it is to be able to accompany Shi Daozun."
"Not like me..."
Having said this, Tai Shitong shook his head with an aggrieved look on his face: "I have stayed in Lantai for more than twenty years, but in the end I am still just a secretary supervisor. Even a deposed emperor dares to bully me."
Deposed emperor?
Zhu Tong's face was gloomy, and the anger in his heart was ignited. He clenched his fists subconsciously. At such a close distance, he was sure that he would kill with one blow, but his reason overcame his impulse after all. Once Tai Shitong died here, he would probably die.
Cause unnecessary trouble.
Phew~~~
Zhu Tong took a deep breath and suppressed his boiling anger. He did not answer, but placed the incense burner next to Tai Shitong and bowed his head in salute:
"Honored guests, please wait patiently. I'll take my leave."
Tai Shitong waved his hand and sighed:
"Go on, go on. I really should take a break. I'm really exhausted during this period."
Zhu Tong left the room, but did not go far.
He hid in the alleyway, waited for a moment, and then stuck his head out to inquire about the surrounding situation.
After confirming that there was no danger, Zhu Tong stepped close to the palace door. Looking through the gap, he saw that Tai Shitong had fallen into a deep sleep. Once this medicine enters the nose, it will not wake up even if there is thunder.
Zhu Tong put on his mask, entered the room, approached Tai Shi Tong as quickly as possible, slapped him with two palms, and when he saw that Tai Shi Tong did not wake up, he raised and lowered his hands and searched carefully.
On the left side of his waist, Zhu Tong touched a long hard strip. He quickly opened the lining and reached out to take it out. The key was put in a brocade bag, which was wrapped very tightly.
"The old boy is very cautious!"
Zhu Tong couldn't help sighing, and then took out the wooden box that had been prepared in advance from his arms. The wooden box contained ink pad, which could preserve the key's description intact.
Just when he finished all this and was about to leave.
suddenly.
There was a burst of rapid footsteps outside. Judging from the density of the sound, there were at least ten people coming.
"not good."
Zhu Tong felt something was wrong.
He hurriedly put away the ink pad and stuffed the key back into the lining.
But before he could turn around, a voice suddenly sounded:
"Master, this is it."
Peng!
There was a crisp sound.
The door was kicked open.
Zhu Tong's entire body was exposed in front of the Taoist priests.
They held sticks in their hands and stared at Zhu Tong with ferocious expressions.
One of the young men raised his finger and pointed at Zhu Tong: "Master, this is the man who knocked the disciple unconscious."
In the middle, a middle-aged man wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe, a Xiaoyao soap towel, and square-headed cloud shoes has sharp eyes.
That's right.
This person is Shi Zixuan.
"Someone, take it down!"
Hula~~~
More than ten Taoist priests filed in carrying sticks and directly surrounded Zhu Tong from the left and right sides.
How could Zhu Tong just sit back and wait to be killed? He couldn't help but take action directly, dashing forward with an arrow, and in an instant he was in front of the Taoist priest. He raised his hand and punched like a shooting star.
Bang!
Before the poor Taoist priest had time to react, Zhu Tong punched him in the abdomen. The huge impact made him unable to stand, and he took several steps back before he could stabilize his body.
But......
Since Zhu Tong chose to take action, how could he give the other party a chance to fight back? The Taoist priest had just stabilized his body. The next second, Zhu Tong made a powerful dash and hit the Taoist priest's chest with his right elbow. With a bang, he was knocked away on the spot.
.
If Shi Zixuan had not taken action in time to catch the flying disciple, he would have been rolled out, and even if he did not die, he would probably have to lie down for a few days.
"Come up together, this man is very skilled in martial arts."
Shi Zixuan did not hesitate and ordered everyone to besiege Zhu Tong.
"whispering sound!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhu Tong wanted to avoid the sharp attack temporarily and looked around, but found that there was only one exit in this side hall. In desperation, he could only bite the bullet and forcefully broke through the door of the hall.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Taoist priests all around took action at the same time, one after another with sticks, and greeted Zhu Tong.
Zhu Tong was born as a knight-errant and a palace guard, so his martial arts skills were naturally good. However, he did not bring any weapons and could only rely on his fleshy palms to fight against the Taoist's sticks.
Although it is difficult for two fists to beat four hands, Zhu Tong did not show any fear when faced with ten times the enemy's siege. He went back and forth for dozens of rounds without even falling behind.
On the other hand, although the Taoists had an advantage in numbers, they were too weak and their cooperation was unorganized. Although they attacked Zhu Tong together, they could not defeat him. Instead, Zhu Tong saw the opportunity and defeated him one by one.
The situation is about to turn around.
Shi Zixuan's figure at the entrance of the hall flashed like a gust of wind. He took strange steps, avoided his disciples, and at the same time, struck Zhu Tong's back with a palm strike.
Bang!
Hit with one hit.
Zhu Tong staggered and was hit by a stick in the abdomen. He fell to the ground with a thud. Before he could turn over, more than a dozen sticks pressed on him.
Shi Zixuan waved his hand and Yun Danfeng said lightly: "Catch him and send him to Tingwei."
Zhu Tong was impatient and quickly stopped him: "Shi Dao, please be patient. I have something to say."
