That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 423: Qi Xianyun in Taiqing Palace

The Taiqing Palace of Qizhou Daomen, the Zirong Temple of Jiangnan Taoism, the Qingjing Temple of the Imperial Capital, and the Qingxu Palace of Linxian Mansion are called two palaces and two temples.

Taiqing Palace, as the name suggests, is from the lineage of Taiqing Daojun.After the Taoist ancestor ascended, Yuqing, known as the three thousand disciples, became powerful, and the original three-legged situation was broken. Yuqing Daojun gradually tended to be in charge of the Taoist sect, while Shangqing Daojun and Taiqing Daojun would become foils. , This can be said to be the inevitable trend of the general trend, but Taiqing and Shangqing have different reactions to this.

Daoist Taiqing chose to accept the result of Daoist Yuqing being in charge of the Taoist sect, while Daoist Shangqing chose to go out of the Daoist sect and stand on his own to prove that he was not willing to be the foil of Daoist Yuqing.

To this day, although the sword sect who betrayed the Taoist sect has gone through several ups and downs, it still stands in the world, while the Taiqing lineage that chose to stay in the Taoist sect is almost extinct, leaving only a few inheritances such as the Qizhou Taoist sect, and the situation is bleak .

Today's Daoist sects are powerful, but the factions are more divided than the imperial court. Even though the Sanqing division has passed, there are still divisions between the peak master and the palace master, Xuandu and local Daoist sects, and There are five sects, and the peak masters are divided into nine veins. It can be said that there is me in you, and you in me. It is intricate, so the Qizhou Taoist sect chooses to be close to the court and avoid various factions within the Taoist sect.

Just as the root of Jiangnan Daomen lies in Jiangdu Daoshufang, the root of Qizhou Daomen lies in Laoshan. The most famous Taiqing Palace is located on the top of Laoshan, the main peak of Laoshan.

Laoshan is known as the first fairy mountain on the sea. Its main peak, Laoding, is also famous for its sword peaks, strange rocks and rocks, and sunrise on the sea. In the early morning, the sea is shrouded in a layer of light mist, which is faintly connected with the sea of ​​clouds drooping in the sky.

In spring and summer, mirages sometimes appear. In March last year, mirages of 36 islands in the East China Sea appeared on the sea. It is clear that there are countless buried swords in Jianshan Mountain, which is a magnificent sight.

There is also a Juxian Terrace on the top of Laoding. Standing here, you can not only overlook the East China Sea, but also have a panoramic view of the entire Laoshan Mountain. However, the road here is rough and the wind is fierce. Few people can go up. .

Just a few days ago, this inaccessible place was suddenly listed as a forbidden area by Wang Mudao, the head of the Taoist sect in Qizhou.

Qizhou Daomen is the direct descendant of Daoist Lord Taiqing. Although it has been silent for a hundred years, no one dares to underestimate its millennium background. The reason why Du Haichan was the first was because Qizhou Daomen was not the direct descendant of Yuqing, and Xuandu had reservations about the imperial edict of Qizhou Daomen Dazheng, so the title was far less spectacular than Du Haichan.

During the recent period, Wang Mudao was very anxious. In the final analysis, it was because of two women with special identities.

One of the women is Xiao Zhinan, the direct younger sister of Prince Qi. Her Royal Highness was poisoned for some reason, and it was related to the secrets of the Tian family. To detoxify it, fortunately, the depth of Qizhou Taoist sect is second only to Jiangnan Taoist sect. After using several rare panacea, it finally helped Her Highness get rid of the poison.

As for the other woman, that is really a hot potato. No matter how noble the princess is, she is an outsider after all, but this woman is a real Taoist. In a sense, her identity does not matter at all. Inferior to Xiao Zhinan.

As for why this noble woman came to Qizhou Daomen, it should also be attributed to those two little Taoist boys who like to go boating and sailing. He has no connection with Baiyun, and he has no interest in the bloody storm in Xuandu. If he has never seen this person, it is fine. Since the two little Taoist boys have brought him back to Taiqing Palace, it is not easy to turn a blind eye.

It's just that it's easy to take in, but how to deal with it is a difficult problem. If one is not handled well, the Qizhou Taoist sect will be involved in the dispute for the first apprentice, so Wang Mudao has a headache.

After all, this woman is Qi Xianyun who disappeared on Biyou Island. She is the No. 12 disciple Qi Xianyun who is the real person in charge of teaching.

Compared with Wang Mudao's worries, the young juniors did not have so many scruples. Many young Taoists heard that a fairy came to the Taiqing Palace, and they wanted to use various excuses to take a trip to Laoding to see the legendary fairy with their own eyes. What kind of beauty and beauty is a fairy.

It's just that under Wang Mudao's strict order, these young Taoists did not see Qi Xianyun's true face after all. In fact, only Wang Mudao was able to see Qi Xianyun in the entire Laoshan Mountain. That's the big trouble.

Today, when Wang Mudao returned to Laoshan from Prince Qi's Mansion, the sky was already dark, but fortunately, Her Royal Highness was fine, and she even joked that she would visit Laoding soon, but Wang Mudao didn't take this matter to heart. At this time, his mind was still focused on Qi Xianyun.

What should this exiled immortal master do, he decided to ask Qi Xianyun what he meant by himself.

In the light of night, Wang Mudao walked slowly towards Juxiantai, which is located at the highest point of Laoding, under the moonlight and starlight. There was an undug mountain road under his feet, steep cliffs on both sides, and strong winds howled. If he was not careful, he would fall off the cliff .

It's just that Wang Mudao walked very steadily. Whether it was a strange rock blocking the way or a strong wind, he kept moving forward at a constant speed, and the distance of each step seemed to be measured with a ruler.

He didn't stop until he could vaguely see Juxiantai, and the Taoist robe on his body was rattling by the mountain wind.

Inside Juxian Terrace, a woman was sitting cross-legged, her face was pale, and there was a purple aura around her body.

Wang Mudao didn't intend to move on, he stood not far from Juxiantai, looked at the woman, and said softly, "Nephew Xianyun."

Qi Xianyun in Juxiantai slowly opened his eyes, got up and saluted, "Qi Xianyun has seen Master."

In terms of seniority, Wang Mudao is of the same generation as Qiuye. Although he looks only about the same age as Qiuye, he is actually three years older than Qiuye, so Qi Xianyun's call of uncle is not wrong.

Wang Mudao accepted the gift calmly, and continued: "The poor Taoist came here to ask his nephew, but he has a plan? Should he return to Xuandu, or stay in my Qizhou Taoist gate for a few days, or have If you need help from Master, feel free to speak up."

Qi Xianyun hesitated to speak.

Wang Mudao hesitated for a moment, then said: "Pin Dao advises you, if you have nothing urgent to do, don't rush back to Xuandu, as you will be in danger if you go, it's better to wait until the head teacher leaves the customs, and then worry about it. "

Qi Xianyun remained silent.

In the past few days, she had already learned about the situation in Xuandu from Wang Mudao, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a mess, if she went back rashly, it would indeed be a disaster.

Seeing her bowing her head in deep thought, Wang Mudao didn't say much to urge her, and suddenly remembered something, and changed the topic, "By the way, a female crown named Zhiyun came here a few days ago, and she seems to be looking for you from Xuandu. It is now in the Taiqing Palace, can you see it?"

Qi Xianyun suddenly raised his head, pursed his lips, and nodded heavily.
