Taiqing Palace is famous because the two younger sisters of Emperor Li Longji, Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen, both became female Taoist priests here. Even Concubine Yang Guifei also became a female Taoist priest here for a period of time.
In fact, Li Ye didn't know that the former master of Taiqing Palace was Lie Feng.
The Taiqing Palace occupies an area of about fifty acres, surrounded by high walls, ancient trees, and winding paths. Hundreds of female Taoists live here, living a life without competing with the world.
Li Ye and Zhang Ping waited for a moment in front of the gate. A middle-aged female Taoist priest came out, flicked her fly whisk, and saluted: "Blessed is the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, but the poor Taoist is Zhengyi!"
Zhang Ping stepped forward and said: "Master, we should have met him. Master, he has been working in our house these days!"
Master Zhengyi nodded, "The old lady will have her birthday in a few days. Let's arrange some birthday etiquette. We will go there tomorrow!"
"Didn't the Master go this morning?"
"Reporting to Master Zhang, Pindao didn't go out this morning!"
Zhang Ping said coldly: "Then your apprentices should go. They took the jade entry and exit token given to you by the madam and moved a tripod from the Wang family temple."
Master Zhengyi's expression changed and he quickly said: "Infinite Heavenly Lord, my disciple is doing his homework today and has not gone out!"
"Where is the jade token that Madam gave to the Master?"
"It seems to be in the hands of my great disciple, I'll go and ask!"
Master Zhengyi turned around to leave, and Li Ye came out and said, "If it's convenient, I'd like to go and see it with Master."
Master Zhengyi felt a fierce murderous intention. She was startled, took two steps back, and looked at Li Ye up and down for a moment.
Li Ye said calmly: "Instead of finding the way by myself, it would be better if the Master takes me."
Master Zhengyi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "It's enough for the donor, don't rush in."
Li Ye winked at Zhang Ping and asked him to wait outside. He followed Master Zhengyi into the Taiqing Palace.
The Taiqing Palace is indeed very large, with winding corridors. If you are not familiar with the place, it is easy to get lost.
Li Ye followed Master Zhengyi through countless doors, and finally came to a quiet courtyard surrounded by towering ancient trees.
Master Zhengyi pushed open the courtyard door, turned around and said to Li Ye, "Please wait a moment, I'll go ask!"
"No!"
Li Ye glanced at the large cauldron that was wrapped thickly and densely with white cloth in the courtyard. Several young female Taoist priests were struggling to carry it into the house.
Although the white cloth was soaked in water and turned yellow, Li Ye still recognized it at a glance.
He quickly walked into the yard, pressed the golden tripod with his hand, and pressed the golden tripod firmly to the ground.
Several young female Taoist priests were so frightened that they ran away. At this time, Li Ye felt a strong wind behind him. This was a sword thrusting at him. It was fast and steady.
He sneered, dodged slightly, and the opponent stabbed the air with his sword. Li Ye clenched his fist and hit the opponent's face hard. He suddenly saw an extremely beautiful face, a pretty face as smooth as fat, with a pink glow.
If you are tired, your beautiful eyes are clear and looking forward, and your eyebrows are like smoke.
This is simply a fairy-like girl.
Li Ye hesitated for a moment, then showed mercy. He struck out as fast as lightning, punched the opponent in the face, and then slashed at the opponent's sword with his palm. The opponent let out a sweet cry, and the sword in his hand was knocked away. She
He covered his face, stumbled a few steps, fell to the ground, and nosebleeds gushed out.
The skin on her face could be broken by a blow, not to mention that she had received a solid punch.
The surrounding female Taoist priests were furious and drew their swords one after another. At this time, a young female Taoist priest rushed out of the house and shouted: "Who dares to act wild in Taiqing Palace!"
She rushed to Li Ye with a sword in hand, and they both said in unison, "It's you!"
This female Taoist priest is none other than Suzaku, whom she has not seen for a year.
Li Ye looked back at the female Taoist priest whose face was bruised by his beating, and secretly screamed in his heart that it was bad.
Suzaku suddenly saw the female Taoist priest with blood on her face and exclaimed: "Qingyu, what's wrong with you?"
The young female Taoist priest stood up and covered her face, staring at Li Ye with hatred in her eyes: "Little Sister, this scoundrel dares to hit me!"
Zhuque stamped his foot and said dissatisfied to Li Ye: "Why are you so reckless?"
At this time, another Taoist nun about thirty years old walked out quickly. Her eyebrows were like swords and her eyes were like ice. She glanced at the injured apprentice, drew her sword and said: "Boy, break into my mountain gate and hurt my apprentice.
Either beat me or leave one hand behind."
Li Ye shook his head, "You stole my golden cauldron, which makes sense. I just came to get the cauldron, and your apprentice attacked me from behind. I have already shown mercy."
"Boy, it's no use talking nonsense, draw your sword!"
Li Ye glanced at Zhuque, who blushed and explained to the Taoist nun: "Senior sister, he is not an outsider, he is the real Ziwei the master said."
Li Ye was surprised and funny. He actually became Ziwei Zhenren. When did he become a monk?
The Taoist nun glanced at Li Ye with a complicated expression, "Are you Li Dai's son?"
Li Ye was startled, "Do you know my father?"
The Taoist nun ignored him and stepped forward to pull the injured disciple. The female disciple's pretty eyes turned red and she started crying, "Master, he bullied me!"
"I know! Let's settle this debt with him later."
The Taoist nun carefully checked the apprentice's injuries. There was only a slight bruise on the face and bleeding from the nose, but there were no fractures. She also knew that the other party was showing mercy, so she snorted heavily and helped the apprentice into the house.
In just a moment, all the female Taoist priests in the courtyard left, leaving only Suzaku.
"Master Li, when did you come back?"
Li Ye smiled and said, "You came back yesterday. You don't wear a mask anymore?"
Zhuque blushed and said, "I haven't worn it since last year. Master said I don't need to wear it anymore."
"How is your master?"
"Master, she's okay. She's here, but she's in seclusion. Come see her again in a few days!"
Li Ye nodded, glanced at the room and said, "That was your senior sister just now?"
Suzaku smiled a little weirdly, "You don't know her?"
“Never seen that before!”
"That's true. Senior sister has been practicing Taoism at Chongxu Temple in Mount Lu, but you should have heard of her."
"Why?"
"Her Taoist name is Master Yongzhen, her common name is Li Tengkong, and she is your aunt."
Li Ye was stunned for a moment. His aunt, Li Linfu, and his daughter became a Taoist priest?
The amount of information in front of him was huge, and various questions were swirling in Li Ye's mind. He could only choose the focus that he should pay more attention to, and put Li Tengkong's matter aside for the time being.
"Senior Sister Zhuque, have you also become a monk?"
Zhuque winked mischievously, "You can call me Master Zhuque, just like I call you Master Ziwei. Okay, I'm going to take care of Master. Take the Jinding back! We originally wanted to exchange it for copper coins to help the victims of the Huaibei disaster."
, since it’s your thing, forget it.”
When he reached the door, Suzaku turned back and smiled: "I'm not a monk, I'm just here to protect the master. We didn't steal the golden tripod. Ask Zhang Ping, he knows very well!"
"I apologize to that junior sister for me. I was a bit harsh."
"Then I can't help it. She is the most vindictive person. You have to be careful in the future!"
Zhuque smiled brightly, turned around and left
Master Zhengyi knew that she was wrong. She lent the jade token and got into big trouble. Fortunately, the other party knew each other and did not pursue the matter. She found a few apprentices and used a wooden wheel to transport the golden tripod out.
After unloading the golden tripod, several female Taoist priests turned around and ran back to the Taoist palace. Zhang Ping came up to them and said happily: "Brother, you are so lucky, you actually found it back?"
Li Ye asked two of his men to look at Jinding, pulled Zhang Ping aside, and said coldly: "You didn't tell me the truth!"
Zhang Ping lowered his head, tugged his hair and said: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to tell you the truth. You don't see it. There is a gap between my adoptive father and the head of the family. I'm afraid that if I tell you the truth, the head of the family will know."
, their brothers will fall out."
"What's the problem between the brothers?"
"The head of the family is Shoucheng, and all martial arts warriors can only be used to protect the family's property. The adoptive father is a pioneer. He wants to use the martial arts school to expand his power, so the adoptive father has done many things, and the head of the family doesn't know about it."
"What about this golden tripod?"
"It's a long story!"
Li Ye nodded, "Let's send the Jinding back first, and then find a place to have a drink, and then you can tell me slowly."
