Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Zhang Lingluo smiled and said: "Except for me, the Ghost Queen is one against three, what are the chances of winning?"

"With the sect leader here, she has no chance of winning. Do you mean she has to defeat them one by one?"

"Not only that, I'm afraid she wants to treat us as if we are empty and weak."

Hearing this, Su Huanshan said: "Then take a rest overnight and adjust your breath to replenish your energy."

In fact, Zhang Lingluo had selfish motives in her heart and deliberately persuaded her master to rest for a night so that Master Xie could catch up with them. Now that Master took action to seize the order, Master Xie naturally became a roadblock that he had to clear.

Zhang Lingluo was also very conflicted in her heart, and in the end she preferred Xie Fu.

Su Huanshan found a quiet place to sit down, and finally took out the Heavenly Master's Order from his sleeve. He was trying to avoid their pursuit along the way, but did not have time to study the Heavenly Master's Order carefully.

At this moment, looking at the Celestial Master's order, which is covered with text and patterns, full of taboo words, seals, and order symbols, a strong sense of mystery and self-centeredness fills my mind.

The Taoist sect has instructions: With the Heavenly Master’s order in hand, all disciples of my Taoist sect must obey the instructions. Anyone who disobeys will be regarded as rebellious and will be punished together.

How can one make people obey his advice, how can one kill those who disobey? This Heavenly Master's order must not only be a sign of the master of the Taoist sect, but also must have its own extraordinary magical power.

The taboo character pattern on it may be the ancient secret method of Taoism, or it may be an important object that controls the mysterious power of heaven and earth.

While Su Huanshan was studying, he heard movement and saw that it was Dugu Shangzhi walking over.

"Shangzhi, what's the matter?"

"Sect Master, how is your injury?"

When Su Huanshan heard this, he immediately became vigilant. He had doubts about Dugu Shangzhi. He could clearly see what Dugu Shangzhi did in Chongtian, and he also listened to what Wei Wushi said. Really true.

But there were pursuers behind him, and he needed the strong support of Dugu Shangzhi.

After all, they have known each other for forty years. During these forty years, Dugu Shangzhi has been devoted to Taoism and has not gotten involved in any disputes. He is even more willing to believe that Dugu Shangzhi is loyal to Xuanzong.

The sword that Master Xuantian stabbed him was indeed his plan to hide it from the enemy, but how could he hide it from Master Xuantian without paying a price?

The injury still affected his strength, but he said: "It doesn't matter. How is your injury, Shangchi?"

Dugu Shangzhi said calmly: "It's not a big deal." He glanced at the Tianshi Ling without concealing his eyes, "This is the Tianshi Ling. Can the sect master let me pay my respects to it?"

There were some things that Yamamoto didn't want to delve into. Seeing that Dugu Shangzhi spoke so directly, he asked, "Shangzhi, what's going on with that piano on your body?"

Dugu Shangzhi straightened his arms, and Su Huanshan Qi immediately burst out to protect him. This move showed that he did not completely trust Dugu Shangzhi.

Dugu Shangzhi smiled without saying anything clearly, revealing the arm guards on his wrists: "Is this what the sect master said?"

Su Huanshan nodded, and Dugu Shangzhi said: "Didn't the sect master know it? I also made it clear that this piano is called the Mother of Lightning."

Su Huanshan asked: "The Lightning Mother is the treasure of Huanglao Taoism, but why is it in your hands?"

Dugu Shangzhi said: "Because I was a disciple of Huanglao Taoism."

Su Huanshan looked shocked and asked directly without concealing it: "You are a spy from the Western Regions!"

You must know that there are often wars between the Central Plains and the Western Regions countries, and the Central Plains martial arts and the Western Regions martial arts often fight openly and secretly.

There are two major religious systems in the Western Regions, one is Shamanism and the other is Huanglao Taoism. The influence of these two major religious schools spread all over the countries of the Western Regions, which is equivalent to the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in the Central Plains.

Therefore, if Dugu Shangzhi reveals his identity, Su Huanshan will think that Dugu Shangzhi is a spy, and this spy has been lurking in Xuanzong for more than forty years.

Dugu Shangzhi asked back: "Does the sect master think I am a spy?"

"I don't know." This answer saved enough face for this forty-year-old friend and left room for discussion.

Dugu Shangzhi said: "Are there any spies like me who have devoted themselves to the Tao for forty years and are not involved in disputes? If I am a spy, then I am too incompetent and have done nothing."

"Then... I'd like to hear the details."

Dugu Shangzhi said: "I have traveled thousands of miles to come to the Central Plains because I am here to seek the truth."

"There is Huanglao Taoism in the Western Regions, and Huanglao Taoism has a long history of Taoism and martial arts. Why do you choose the distance instead of the near?"

"Because Huanglao Taoism no longer has a place for me, so I can only move away from home and seek another Taoist habitat."

"Why does Huanglao Taoism have no place for you? Talents like you will become pillars wherever they go."

"I wonder if the sect leader knows that the position of Huang Lao Taoist leader is a lineage inheritance?"

"I've heard something about it."

Dugu Shangzhi's eyes were filled with sadness, and he murmured: "I was one of the candidates for Huanglao Taoism. In the battle for the leader, I lost."

Su Huanshan knew the power of Dugu Shangzhi and was surprised: "Who did you lose to?"

Dugu Shangzhi smiled: "It's not important. I also thought that my talent was unparalleled in the world. But after I came to the Central Plains, I met Wei Wushi. At that time, I realized that the world is big and there is more than one person like me. There were many, many. At that time, I was depressed, and the presence of Wei Wushi also restored my confidence. The person who defeated me was not unprecedented, he was just an ordinary person in the long river of history." "Too far, I lost. According to the tradition of Huanglao Taoism, I must abandon martial arts and become an ordinary person. I will write Taoist scriptures for the rest of my life and leave what I have learned in my life to future generations."

Su Huanshan was puzzled: "I have never understood why Huanglao Taoism has this tradition. Wouldn't it be better if there are elites in the sect in large numbers?"

Dugu Shangzhi smiled: "Actually, it's very simple. Can there be two emperors in this world? The existence of threats will affect the stability of the entire country. The Central Plains Dao Sect is the best example. This generation has enough talents. You, Sect Master , Duanmuci, Zhenwu Xuantianren, which one of them has the appearance of a sect leader, but the three sects of the Taoist sect are hostile to each other and internal conflicts."

Su Huanshan was quite dissatisfied: "I just want to unify the Taoist sect and never have any more disputes."

Dugu Shangzhi smiled and said: "But the sect master is not powerful enough to reach a certain level."

Su Huanshan glanced at the Heavenly Master's Order in his hand and said solemnly: "It will be done soon!"

Dugu Shangzhi smiled and said nothing. Anyone who wants to satisfy his own selfishness must always say something righteous and awe-inspiring as an excuse.

Su Huanshan looked at Dugu Shangzhi: "Dian Mu is the treasure of Huanglao Taoism. Shangzhi, you haven't said why it is in your hands?"

Dugu Shangzhi smiled and said: "If I want to escape from the Huanglao Taoism, I naturally need a magic weapon to help me. I took this Lightning Mother from the Taoism."

"That makes sense, but why would Huang Lao Taoism just watch you leave with their treasure of suppressing the religion?"

"Because they thought I was dead and the Lightning Mother was nowhere to be found. Otherwise, how could I have been able to be at peace and devote myself to cultivating Taoism for more than forty years."

Dugu Shangzhi saw that he was still standing, staring at himself with sharp eyes, and said with a smile: "Sect Master, I can describe the process in detail. The near-death battle more than forty years ago is still fresh in my memory."

"No need, Shangzhi, I still have doubts. In the past forty years, have you devoted yourself to seeking the Tao or have you had other intentions?"

"Of course I devote myself to cultivating Taoism, and attaining Taoism is also my goal."

"What happens after you gain enlightenment?"

"If I can attain Taoism, I will naturally return to Huanglao Taoism and rectify my name."

Su Huanshan asked in a deep voice: "Is this the purpose of your seeking Tao, to fight for the sake of fighting?"

Dugu Shangzhi closed his eyes: "The sage taught me a lesson, the Tao is to fight without fighting, and the Tao is to seek without seeking. I just want to go my own way and open up a broad road."

"Shangzhi, I believe you."

Dugu Shangzhi opened his eyes and looked at the Celestial Master's Order in Su Huanshan's hand: "Sect Master, this Celestial Master's Order is not only a symbol of status, but also contains a supreme secret."

Su Huanshan thought to himself, there is no need for you to tell me, after all, he is the head of Xuanzong.

Dugu Shangzhi continued: "The world of Taoism is one family, and I can tell at a glance that Tianshi Ling and Huang Lao Taoism are also related."

Su Huanshan was slightly surprised: "Really?"

Dugu Shangzhi showed the arm guard on his left hand to Su Huanshan: "Sect Master, please look at my taboo words for Mother of Lightning, and then carefully distinguish the taboo words on the Tianshi Order."

Su Huanshan glanced at the taboo characters on the arm guard, then lowered his head to look at the Heavenly Master's Order in his hand. Among the many taboo characters, he saw the same taboo character as Dian Mu. It was very bright and upright, the seal of a great god.

Dugu Shangzhi said: "I am one of the candidates of Huanglao Taoism. I have come into contact with the secrets of the sect. Maybe I can help you, the sect master, to understand the mystery of this heavenly master's order."

Su Huanshan was slightly moved: "Shangzhi, what good will this do to you?"

"I have devoted myself to cultivating Taoism for forty years, but I have only been wandering around the door. This Heavenly Master's Order is the opportunity for me to attain Taoism. Master, if I can decipher the secret of the Heavenly Master's Order, you can unify the Taoist sect, and I can return to Huanglao Taoism. , continue the path I have been on for more than 40 years.”

Su Huanshan was silent for a long time. After running through all kinds of interests in his mind, he said, "What if I don't agree?"

Dugu Shangzhi handed over his hand: "Then I have no choice but to grab it!"

Su Huanshan laughed loudly: "Okay! Shangzhi, based on your honesty, I am willing to share it with you. Please admire this treasure together."

Dugu Shangzhi stood still, glanced at Su Huanshan, and then stepped forward with his true energy exposed.

Just as the man stepped forward, Su Huanshan suddenly made a sneak attack and slapped Dugu Shangzhi on him. At the critical moment, Dugu Shangzhi raised his hand and slapped him happily, causing him to stagger back a few steps: "Sect Master, what do you mean!"

Su Huanshan stood up and said with a smile: "Shangzhi, weren't you also wary of me? Otherwise, you would have died from that slap just now."

Dugu Shangzhi said coldly: "Sect Master, I didn't expect you, the leader of a great sect, to be so despicable!"

"Dugu Shangzhi, you, a spy from the Western Regions, do you think I will believe you? To tell you the truth, even if this Heavenly Master's Order falls into the hands of others, you, a spy from the Western Regions, will not let you take one look at it and die!"

Su Huanshan said, his palms were like thunder, showing no mercy at all, he clearly wanted to kill Dugu Shangzhi under his palms.

Dugu Shangzhi is an ordinary person. Although he is timid with the palm power of Su Huanshan, he is still in an invincible position.

The sound of the two fighting immediately attracted Zhang Lingluo and Bei Gengyun not far away.

The two arrived and saw the two of them fighting to the death with their true seals. They were surprised and asked: "Sect Master, Elder Dugu, what are you two doing!"
