Wanderer of the whirling world

Chapter 244 Visiting Taiyi Palace

Taiyi Palace, also known as Yanghua Palace, is located on a fengshui treasure land in the western suburbs of Bianliang City, surrounded by mountains and lakes.

This is not only the sacred place of Taoism in the capital, but also an extremely exquisite royal garden.

Among the green hills and green trees, cigarettes are curling up all the year round, and the whole Taoist temple is like a palace, surrounded by steaming mist.

The misty water vapor is like a dream, like the misty rain in the fairy mountains overseas, like a faint ink painting scroll.

However, Xin Ziqiu had no time to appreciate the fresh and elegant beauty. He walked along a winding path to the gate of Taiyi Palace, and was about to enter, but was blocked by a few high-spirited Taoist boys. asked aloud:

"Who is coming? Tell me your name quickly!"

Seeing that these Taoist boys were a few years older than himself, Xin Ziqiu didn't care about their condescending arrogance, and smiled and said:

"Brother Xiantong, Xin Ziqiu, does Taoist Lu live there? Please let me know."

He was originally polite, but the Taoist boys were furious when they heard the words:
"What a junior who doesn't know the depth, you are also called the real Lu Zhenren? If there is no imperial decree, leave quickly and don't disturb the real people's cultivation."

Xin Ziqiu shook his head when he heard the words, it's true that the king of Hades loves little ghosts, and among the monks, there are such people who pretend to be majestic.

These Xiaodao boys are deficient in spirit and their martial arts are mediocre, if they force themselves, they can be knocked down in less than three punches and two kicks.

It's just that by doing so, it seems a bit bullying, and it doesn't have to tarnish his reputation.

So he stood outside the mountain gate with his hips akimbo, bared his teeth and said with a smile:

"Since the fairies are unwilling to help, Ben Dutong has no choice but to worship the mountain by himself."

Several Taoist boys saw him showing his thick white teeth and a joking smile, suddenly panicked for no reason, and shouted sternly:
"You... what are you going to do? This is a place for immortals to cultivate, don't be aggressive!"

Xin Ziqiu made two hey-hey sounds, suddenly summoned up his real qi, and let out a loud roar:
"Junior Xin Ziqiu, please see Senior Lu Tong!"

One word at a time, dragging out a long voice, each syllable carried a powerful force, passed through the thick fog, and sent it far away.

He is so full of real power at this time, the howling sound lasts for a long time, like a tiger howling in a forest, it is deafening.

When several Taoist boys heard the long howl like a dragon chant, their ears were numb and their eyes were staring.

They looked at Xin Ziqiu with fear in their eyes, as if standing in front of them was not a human being, but an ancient ferocious beast, which might open its bloody mouth at any time to swallow them up.

The whistling sound lasted until it was about a cup of tea before it stopped. At this time, the Taoist boys had already slumped on the ground, their faces turned pale, their whole bodies trembling like chaff, and the crotch of their trousers was also a little chilly and noisy.

They looked at each other, and only then did they realize that the young man in front of him possessed supernatural powers, so they dared to speak out to stop him.

……

Not long after, a person came out from the mountain gate, short in stature and wretched in appearance, it was the old alchemist Xin Ziqiu had seen in the ancient tomb, Lu Tonglu Jieyu.

The rejuvenation technique he performed in the ancient tomb has already expired, and he has turned back into the appearance of a little old man when the five declines of heaven and man.

It's just that Lu Tong at this time has lost the previous unrestrained demeanor, but has a sad face and frowns.

Seeing Xin Ziqiu, he smiled wryly and said:

"It turned out to be Xiaoyou Xin. I've lost my way in poverty. I hope you can forgive me."

Xin Ziqiu said with a smile:
"Really Lu, long time no see, are you all right?"

Lu Tong felt the subtle changes in Xin Ziqiu's body, and was secretly amazed in his heart, wondering how this young man's skills improved by leaps and bounds within a few months.

But when he thought that he had a lot of connections with that powerful Hong Taiwei, and also had good friends with Lu Dongbin, Zhong Liquan and others, he felt relieved.

Lu Tong is an old man, he understands that although the young man in front of him is just a mortal, if he wants to live in Taiyi Palace safely, he must not offend him.

However, a big event happened in Taiyi Palace right now, and he had no intention of entertaining Xin Ziqiu, so he could only force a smile and said:

"Pindao thought that Xiaoyou Xin was killed in the formation of the Four Elephants and Liuhe, and regretted it for a long time. I didn't expect that Xiaoyou was auspicious, had another chance, and his skill was far better than before. I am very happy and congratulated. I don't know what I can learn from coming to Taiyi Palace?"

Xin Ziqiu had already made up his mind on the way, he was not in a hurry to invite the alchemists to Tongtian for help, not to mention that they encountered a sneak attack, but first took out the small sword that Lu Dongbin gave him from his arms, and looked serious. said:

"Following the last wish of Emperor Donghua and the decree of Master Chunyang, I came here to ask several seniors for a treasure called 'City of Disillusionment'."

Sure enough, Lu Tong's face changed when he heard the words:
"This one……"

Xin Ziqiu also pretended to take a step forward, feigning anger and saying:

"What? Is Master Lu in trouble?"

Lu Tong sighed and said:

"It's inconvenient to talk here. If Xiaoyou Xin doesn't mind, please come in. Pindao will tell you the details."

Holding Lu Dongbin's flying sword, Xin Ziqiu was not afraid of Lu Tong's tricks, so he nodded and said:
"Since that's the case, then I'm going to bother Master Lu."

Lu Tong hurriedly said:
"Where, where."

He led Xin Ziqiu straight to his residence, leaving only a few stunned boys in front of the mountain gate.

……

The four alchemists in the pre-Qin period, Lu Tong, Gongyang Quan, Tai Si, and Gou Bi, were all real immortals.

Therefore, since they came to Bianliang City, they have been regarded as honored guests by Emperor Renzong.

The place where the few people are currently living is the Xuanxin Hall, the core of Taiyi Palace, where the carved beams and painted buildings are extremely luxurious.

And their food and clothing, and even the various precious medicinal materials and treasures needed for cultivation, are all the highest standards of the royal family.

Xin Ziqiu followed Lu Tong all the way without hindrance. When he entered the Xuanxin Palace, he pretended to be impatient and asked:
"Really Lu, I'm just here to beg for something, not come here to instruct the teacher. If you have something hard to hide, you might as well just say it. Why beat around the bush?"

Hearing this, Lu Tong also stopped, sighed and said:

"Xin Xiaoyou, the 'City of Disillusionment' belongs to Emperor Donghua, and we are all worthy of it. It is only natural that Lu Zu sent you to fetch the treasure. If you came a few days earlier, we will take this treasure as our own." There is nothing wrong with it. But now... alas... To be honest, the treasure has been lost."

Xin Ziqiu's acting skills were overwhelmed at this time, and he was stunned when he heard the words. At that moment, his eyes showed shock, doubt, anger and other emotions, which were intertwined, natural and real, and immediately dispelled Lu Tong's wariness about his sudden visit.

"Lost it? Master Lu, don't lie to me. This Taiyi Palace is an important place for the royal family, and the treasures are kept by immortals. How could they be lost?"

Lu Tong smiled miserably:
"This matter is indeed extremely weird. It's no wonder that Xiaoyou Xin doesn't believe it. Even the few of us can't figure out what's going on."

Xin Ziqiu said seriously:

"Since this is the case, please tell Master Lu the truth. Even if you can't get the treasure back, I will at least have an explanation to Master Chunyang."

Lu Tong nodded and said:
"The few of us have lived for thousands of years. Although most of the time was trapped in the ancient tomb, we have accumulated a few treasures through various methods. Of course, uh... some methods are not so glorious. That' To be honest, "City of Disillusionment" was snatched from Shaoyang Daojun, er, the clone of Senior Donghua Emperor.

"These treasures have been kept separately by the four of us, and they are rotated every once in a while, so that everyone can refer to them. The 'City of Disillusionment' has always been at Goubi's place, but the night before yesterday, he was there. There was a sneak attack in Xuanxin Palace, not only was he seriously injured, but the treasure was also taken away.

"The strangest thing is that when the incident happened, the remaining three of us were meditating and cultivating, and our spiritual thoughts covered the entire Taiyi Palace. If there is any abnormality, we will definitely wake up from the sedation and go to help.

"But until Gou Bi was injured, we didn't sense any abnormalities from the beginning to the end. We didn't find out until he was seriously injured and called for help. But it was too late, and the murderer had been gone for a long time."
