How can I allow you and others to get involved in my old lady's Tang Dynasty?

In the small courtyard on the island in the center of the lake, inside the pavilion.

The Master held a volume of book behind his hands, facing the empty lake, and remained silent for a long time. A gust of wind blew through the lake, causing ripples.

"One body, two souls, a good trick." Mr. Liu appeared behind the wife, "If I hadn't known that Taoyao never came here, I would have let her succeed again."

"Taozhi Yaoyao, its Ye Zhenzhen, Taoyao doesn't come here because she can't face herself directly in her heart. Don't be so resentful. After all, you and Tao Zhenzhen have known each other for many years." The master said lightly, "Fifteen years ago, during the seal riot, Tao Zhenzhen attacked you. She probably missed her old master, but what happened last night was a little strange."

"You knew that the demon girl cared about her old master, so you still wanted to keep her here?" Mr. Liu said angrily, "Master, what are you thinking about?"

"Kill Tao Zhenzhen, Taoyao will also die." The master continued, "I am thinking now, what is Tao Zhenzhen doing back? What is her goal? Tao Zhenzhen and Li Jie's residence last night Is the Tao Zhenzhen you met the main subject?"

"Master, are you really unable to kill Tao Zhenzhen, or do you not want to?" Mr. Liu said, "I don't believe you would be so indecisive. Will Taoyao really die? You owe me an explanation."

"That's fine, Mr. Liu. One Tao Zhenzhen can't affect the overall situation. Back then, I had a premonition that if I really killed Tao Zhenzhen, something big would happen, something I would regret."

"A big thing has happened now. Tao Yao is half dead. You haven't completely reached an agreement with the immortals and Buddhas. The demon clan already knows where the seal is. Qi Zhu and Hou Hou told you last night that there was a problem with the high-level officials of the country, so you hurriedly Leaving the mansion, the wind is blowing in all directions now, Master, I have been always frightened recently, I have a premonition that something big is going to happen, I suggest that all the economic envoys be transferred back."

"Jinglun envoys cannot be transferred at will. Besides, Jinglun envoys are all brought up by Tao Zhenzhen and have deep feelings. I don't want them to be in a dilemma." The master sighed, "Li Jiejiemeng's matter must be carried out as soon as possible, even if Protected by my Taoist weapon, after all, it is not a long-term solution."

"You went to Kyoto last night, but what did you gain from fighting the monkey together?"

"There is a problem with the Jingyao Division. The inspector Yan Weishi sent turned out to be the moon phase of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. Although he is not a Wangshuo person, he is the leader of Xixian and a demon from the three realms. Following this line, Qi Zhu also found out that the deputy head of the Jingyao Division secretly colluded with the Ten Thousand Demons Sect to refine forbidden medicines and supply them to the top figures in the country to prolong their lives."

"This is not enough for you to take a trip. After all, the affairs of the country have not collapsed in general. The people in the Tianzong are not only clinging to the past, but also self-restraint and restoration of etiquette. They are still able to get by on major occasions."

"The big shot in the upper echelons of the country is the one who wants to take away Li Jie. I can't bear to think too much about this matter." The master said, "When I arrived in Kyoto, Yan Weishi escaped, and the deputy director of the Jingyao Department The Lord is dead.”

"As Qi Zhu and Hou Hou watched, these two people died and escaped? Could it be that Monkey got away with it again?" Mr. Liu asked, "What happened to the person at the top of the dynasty?"

"The two of them are not to blame for this matter. The deputy head of the Jingyao Department gave up his words, but ended up on his own. The two of them followed the clues and found the person at the top of the dynasty." The master said, "But that person is in charge of the government. More than three hundred people, all of whom had been silenced when I arrived in Kyoto, looked like the method used by the Ten Thousand Demons Cult to extract living souls."

"It's so ruthless to cut off the tail to survive, ruthless and simple, three hundred lives. When did such a character appear in the Ten Thousand Demons Cult?" Mr. Liu slapped the sill hard, "All the clues are cut off."

"It's not that there was no gain at all. At least I understood one thing. Someone was watching my whereabouts. After I left the house, Tao Zhenzhen sneaked in. When I arrived in the capital, the clues were cut off." The master suddenly smiled, " This is directed at me. Everything is covering up the fact that the Ten Thousand Demons Sect is making big moves. Otherwise, they would not be so radical in cutting off their tails to survive. There is something else behind it, but I have no time to investigate. I can only let the monkey and Qi Zhu, please be more careful, what I am most worried about now is that the case of the human being is exposed, and the Ten Thousand Demons Sect is plotting against Li Jie, so he must know something."

"I think this is to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Yan Weishi's move is to let you go to Kyoto. No wonder Tao Zhenzhen didn't entangle with me after sneaking in and being exposed. Li Jie also ran away without succeeding after one attack. You It only takes two hours from the time you leave to the time you return, so this is an accurate calculation of your round trip time." Mr. Liu said, "It seems that the people behind the scenes are very familiar with your strength."

"So, is their target Li Jie or Seal?" The master chuckled, "With Tao Zhenzhen, how can he not be familiar with her?"

"The wind is blowing, Master, are your eyes mesmerized?" Mr. Liu sighed, "Everyone has emotions. This is so natural, but emotions will only interfere with your judgment now. "

"Don't worry." The master smiled at Mr. Liu, "Tao Zhenzhen's visit is not a bad thing at all. At least it saves me one hidden danger."

"Peach Blossom Array?" Mr. Liu suddenly asked, "What are you going to do?"

The master smiled and said nothing, waved his sleeves, and disappeared from the spot.

Mr. Liu looked at the place where the master disappeared, and gradually merged with the willow tree behind him, "Now that the bait has been laid, I don't know what to catch."

In a small courtyard not far from the Confucius Mansion, Tao Zhenzhen was leaning on the bed, her chest rising and falling. A masked man in black stood beside the bed and asked, "Why did you break into the Confucius Mansion privately? The Lord has commanded not to act rashly, why do you want to act on your own initiative?”

"Why do I need to report my work to you?" Tao Zhenzhen said.

"You have ruined a major event, my lord. According to the original plan, I will need to stay for more than half a year when entering Kyoto. With Kyoto's chess pieces holding me back, we can calmly start the second phase of the plan." The man in black said, "Now, because of your intrusion After entering the Master's Mansion, the Master received the warning and hurriedly returned. We lost a lot of chess pieces in vain, the layout of Kyoto was also destroyed, and almost all subsequent plans were stillborn."

"Your plan?" Tao Zhenzhen sneered, "Not to mention Liu Laothief, who is in the Sixth Realm and the Great Demon God level. Even the traitor Tao Yao is a master in the Five Realms. Ordinary demon gods are no match at all, just you guys. Rotten sweet potatoes, stinky fish and shrimps from the Third and Fourth realms, what’s your plan? In the face of absolute power, your plan is no different than waste paper.”

"This is not a reason for you to ruin the whole situation. Sometimes strength cannot mean everything."

"You know nothing about real power." Tao Zhenzhen said, "Master, the old thief appears to be only in the sixth realm, but in fact his true strength has reached the seventh realm. Seventh realm, there are only a few kings among demons and gods. existence. Do you think that the old thief Master relied on his status as the leader of the human sect to be on an equal footing with the immortals and Buddhas in the heavens? You are too naive. In the legend of Liangjie Mountain 20 years ago, the Master conquered the mountains and rivers with one sword, and killed demons with another sword. Liu Xia studied and knew God's will, all the people here are immortals and Buddhas. What kind of plan can hurt such a person?"

"The plan we are waiting for was arranged by the Lord himself. If you act rashly and ruin the plan this time, go and explain it to the Lord yourself." The man in black suppressed his anger and glanced at Tao Zhenzhen with some fear. The master plans, but his own strength is a real five-level demon god, one of the few high-end combat forces under the master.

"Where is the Lord?" Tao Zhenzhen asked.

"Your Majesty is in Kyoto and wants to personally arrange a new plan to force the Master to come to the capital again."

"I will go find the Lord after I recover from my injury. Please step back." Tao Zhenzhen said.

The man in black stared at Tao Zhenzhen for a while, "Remember, don't act rashly, the Lord has his own arrangements."

Li Jie looked at the boiled meat, soy sauce dish, millet, and boiled vegetables in front of him and couldn't help sighing, and said to Taoyao who was about to leave, "Brother Taoyao, I want to change the taste, but I don't know what's going on in my house." There are other meals too.”

"Young Master, I can only do these things, so please bear with me." Taoyao looked embarrassed, "Master's diet is a little lighter, and he always eats one dish at a time. Because you are weak, I specially told you to You added a meat dish." "Does Master always eat these?" Li Jie asked.

"In the past, when Mr. Qi Zhu was here, he took care of the meals. The master said he was extravagant and wasteful, and stipulated one dish and one meal for each meal. In recent days, Mr. Qi Zhu went out, and I was responsible for the meals. However, the master seemed to have something to do, so he didn't do anything during the day. We are not in the house, so Mr. Liu and I don't need to eat, and we don't have much knowledge about catering. I think these dishes should be OK. When Mr. Qi Zhu was making them, I watched them from a distance."

After looking at it from a distance, Li Jie couldn't help but feel horrified. He was really putting his master in a difficult position. He only ate these every day. It seemed that he had a long way to go to develop his productivity and improve his life happiness index.

Forget it, although doing it myself is better than this thing, but thinking about Tao Yao's identity, I can't bear it. I can't refute other people's face. Now that's the condition, so I'll make do with it.Li Jie couldn't help but comfort himself in his heart.

But when he had this food for three meals a day for three consecutive days, Li Jie couldn't bear it anymore. When he saw the boiled meat, millet, and boiled vegetables that Taoyao brought, Li Jie let out a wailing cry, "Taoyao Brother, please take it away, I can’t eat it.”

"Young Master, Master has told you to eat on time."

Li Jie felt that his endurance had reached the limit, and finally said helplessly to Taoyao: "How about I do it myself?"

Tao Yao looked surprised, and then felt a little embarrassed, "The young man has not yet enlightened himself, and there is still residual evil spirit in the food. If you don't handle it well, it will hurt yourself and it will not be beautiful."

"Monster energy?" Li Jie's eyes widened. The information revealed by these two words was incredible, "Could it be that demons can also eat it?"

Tao Yao said: "Most of the ingredients used in the house are from the Master's sect who respect the Master. For example, the meat is a kind of monster called Deaf Pig. It is like a dolphin with horns. It screams loudly. It can be eaten without blinking. It can replenish the soul." The most gentle thing is that green vegetables are the leaves of the plant, which can resist nightmares. They are also eaten without hesitation. They are the best food for warming and nourishing the soul. The millet rice uses the wandering dragon millet from the land behind the fairy court. It is said that it is made from demon dragons from the third realm or above. Watered by blood, food can lighten the body and strengthen the body, and prevent all diseases.”

Li Jie's brain suddenly shut down and he had nothing to eat?Isn’t it what the Classic of Mountains and Seas says?So he tried to ask, "Are these all specialties of the demon clan?"

Tao Yao nodded, "The sage once said, since demons eat humans, why don't humans eat demons? They can eat them, and I can eat them too. However, the ingredients of the demon tribe often contain a lot of demon aura, and ordinary people will be infected by the demon aura if they eat them. Practitioners who need to enter the country to refine the demonic energy can contribute part of their efforts to refining the ingredients, but the ingredients often only provide half of the effect, so the gain outweighs the loss."

Li Jie had an idea and said to Taoyao, "After refining the ingredients, can we use them safely and boldly, so that ordinary people can use them?"

Tao Yao continued to nod, "Theoretically, this is the recipe set by Master. It cannot be changed."

Li Jie felt happy and pulled Taoyao up, "Where is the kitchen? Are there any ingredients left?"

Taoyao nodded, led Li Jie out of the room, and walked towards the kitchen.

At this time, in the small courtyard in the center of the lake, Master and Mr. Liu were sitting across from each other at the stone table in the pavilion. There were several exquisite side dishes on the table, which were delicious in color and aroma. Master picked up a piece of crispy meat and put it in his mouth, and narrowed his eyes. Eyes: "Soft, tender, smooth, and slightly chewy. This is the delicious taste."

Mr. Liu picked up a glass of wine and looked at the master angrily and amusedly, "As soon as Qi Zhu left, you acted so wildly. You are definitely not a teacher."

"I am over seventy this year. I do whatever I want without breaking the rules." The master put down his chopsticks and poured himself a glass of wine. "How do you let Taoyao's food be eaten?"

"Having become a monk halfway, holding recipes from ancient books and following Qi Zhu's example, it's really hard for him." Mr. Liu said with a smile, "You prescribed food supplements for that kid, didn't you think about Tao Yao? Can it be done?”

"I'm used to it. When Qi Zhu was here, I never worried about these little things." Master drank the wine in his hand, "I don't know what happened to Qi Zhu and Monkey in Kyoto."

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "You only have two hours to go to Kyoto. You have time to go to other places to prepare food, but you don't have time to go to Kyoto to see what those two people found."

"The teacher has something to do, and the disciple has to do his job. Now that the disciple has something to do, I still have to take care of it. Qi Zhu once said that he only likes the four beauties in his life, beautiful people, good wine, delicious food, and beautiful scenery." The Master said, "But there are also four I hate that beauties grow old, hate that wine is hard to get drunk, hate that food is endless, hate that beautiful scenery becomes empty.”

"If you fail to live up to the beautiful scenery, you will end up in vain; if you live up to the good wine, you will not get drunk; if you live up to the delicious food, you will only live up to your appetite; if you live up to the beauty, your hair will grow old." Mr. Liu said, "Isn't this a reflection of your life?"

"This old tree of yours is a nuisance to the scenery. Don't mention it, don't mention it." The Master said, "How have I ever let her down?"

"You yourself understand." Mr. Liu said, "Think about those days..."

"That's enough, that's enough." The master bowed his hands to Mr. Liu, "You are young and frivolous, please be lenient with your words."

"Qi Zhu sent a message, saying that the situation in Kyoto is generally stable, but there are turbulent undercurrents. The big figures in the Executive Yuan of the country have frequently contacted the Xianting Buddhist Kingdom and even the demon clan. He hopes that you will go to Kyoto to stabilize the situation, otherwise something big may happen. "

"A big deal?" The Master played with the wine glass, "A few moths want to turn the world upside down. They all want to kill Lai Hao, who is also a scholar in the Five Realms. Can't they shock that little guy who just spends the night?"

"There is something I know whether to talk about or not." Mr. Liu said to the Master with hesitation on his face.

"I said to you, old tree, you should speak when you should speak, and don't speak when you don't." Master said, "What's the trouble?"

"Then I said, don't fall out." Mr. Liu said to the master with a strange smile, "A Confucian genius came out of Sijia in Kyoto. He has beautiful articles and talents. He is already in the third realm at a young age. I went to Qi Zhu and said that I want this child to join your family."

"Homesickness? Confucianism? My sect?" The master's face suddenly turned livid, "Where did the homesickness come from in Kyoto? A Confucian disciple actually wants to join my sect?"

"Kingto Sijia was changed by a family named Shen more than ten years ago. According to legend, the ancestor of the Shen family was the Immortal Lord Shen Xi of Liangjie Mountain. By the way, the previous head of the family was named Shen Huaixi, who was the great sacrificial wine of the Witch God Dynasty. The current head of the family is Shen Huaixi. His grandson, Shen Nan, no, should be called Sinan." Mr. Liu ignored the master's increasingly ugly face and continued, "The Confucian genius who is homesick is called Siyi. He is the direct grandson of Sinan. It is said that his name was taken from the gentleman Thinking nine times will reveal the meaning of thinking.”

The master held his hands tightly on the table and said coldly to Mr. Liu, "Go on. I don't think you, an old tree, have anything to say today."
