"Yuan Yazi, what are you looking at?"

Zhang Shixiu turned around and asked.

Lu Ya withdrew his gaze and shook his head.

A paralyzed face with no expression.

The two of them, one behind the other, were walking on a winding mountaineering path paved with bluestone steps in Xuemu Villa.

Not far ahead, there was a stern Yue girl leading the way with a sword on her back.

Zhang Shixiu was born in the lineage of Heavenly Masters from Longhu Mountain in Taiqing.

Since the Han Dynasty, the Tianshi lineage has taken over the Taoism in the south of the Yangtze River and is in charge of the three mountain talismans. Longhu Mountain in Taiqing, where the Tianshi Mansion is located, is the nominal head of the Three Pure Taoist sects. The Taoist surnamed Zhang, who was born in the Tianshi Mansion, was born

Wearing a yellow robe and a purple robe, he has the honorific title of Yellow and Purple Noble.

The Sanqing Taoist sect, on the surface, is three mountains, but in fact it is one body. Especially on some major matters, the ancestor halls of the three mountains have the same attitude.

And a force also has face and lizi.

Face can be understood as being bright and beautiful, while Lizi is responsible for doing some tasks that are inconvenient to show to others. Generally speaking, to show people's face, they need to be wiped clean and not stained with dust. This requires Lizi to take action...

Taiqing Longhu Mountain is the face of the Sanqing Taoist sect. The Tianshi Mansion is secluded, independent and aloof;

Yuqing Pavilion Zaoshan is an extension of this kind of face, which is closer to the secular world. It is backed by Taiqing and has two mountains of Shangqing. It receives pilgrims as if it is open for business.

As for Shangqing Maoshan, they are in charge of the lizi. The number of Taoist priests in Maoshan is small and low-key, but the proportion of Taoist priests with spiritual energy cultivation is higher than that of Taiqing and Yuqing. When something happens, they are the real ones, and they are also the first to go...

Regardless of whether Zhang Shixiu was sent by the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain to deliver a message, does it mean that this young Taoist priest is a leader among the younger generation of the Tianshi Mansion?

At present, people from Taiqing Longhu Mountain have been sent over, together with Taoist priests from Shangqing Maoshan.

This time, the Sanqing Taoist sect lost all its face and lizi.

It is conceivable that in the eyes of the Sanshan Patriarch Hall in the distance, the current situation is serious...

Zhang Shixiu followed Lu Ya's gaze just now.

They just passed by a pool halfway up the mountain. There was a little lolita squatting by the pool, holding a branch in her hand and playing with the water. There was a faintly spinning white sturgeon in the water.

"Does Yuan Yazi know her?"

Lu Ya shook his head.

"You must be missing your junior sister Yuan Xuanzi, right?"

Zhang Shixiu asked with a smile.

It was clear that the two of them were about to meet the famous Lady Yunmeng, who had won the first prize in swordsmanship, but Zhang Shixiu didn't show much nervousness on his face. Instead, he was in the mood to tease Lu Ya on the way up the mountain.

Lu Ya was noncommittal and said solemnly:

"That girl is from Xunyang."

"Jiangzhou Xunyang? How did Junior Brother Yuan Yazi figure it out?"

"Master taught me some physiognomy. Also, the girl's hair style was something that my junior sister also had done before. It's unique to Xunyang."

"You also said that you didn't think about Junior Sister Yuan Xuanzi." Zhang Shixiu smiled.

After a pause, he sighed:

"I heard from the senior uncle that Junior Sister Yuan Xuanzi is already in the eighth grade. How long has it been? This is really embarrassing for us senior brothers from Sanshan. She is indeed the disciple chosen by Elder Yuan before his death."

Lu Ya nodded: "You are indeed too slow." He added: "The same goes for poor Taoists."

Zhang Shixiu was not annoyed: "Your junior sister is also our junior junior sister, a member of her own family."

Lu Yaduo glanced at him: "Junior sister hates being approached by others."

Zhang Shixiuqi asked: "Junior sister Yuan Xuanzi is so difficult to get along with? When a little girl just goes up the mountain, isn't she usually very attached to her uncle and brother?"

Lu Ya shook his head: "My little junior sister used to come from a poor family. She was sensible and independent early on. She is different from other girls of the same age. She is like a young adult... When we meet in the future, senior brother Yuan Xiuzi will know."

Zhang Shixiu looked curious.

At present, within the Sanqing Taoist sect, the most talked-about topic among the Taoist priests is the speed at which the new entry-level junior sister named "Yuan Xuanzi" from Maoshan, Shangqing, breaks through the realm. Every once in a while, there is a rapid progress.

, which attracted the astonishment and envy of all the brothers and sisters.

Lu Ya suddenly said: "Actually, that's not necessarily the case. Junior sister is not like that in front of everyone."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Shixiu became more and more curious.

Lu Ya flashed before his eyes, every time when he needed to send a letter to Xunyang, the little junior sister who was not listening to anything outside the window and only focused on her practice stopped all her practice matters and stayed up late at night to write the letter seriously...

Seeing Lu Ya holding his head with a paralyzed face and not refusing to answer, Zhang Shixiu asked again:

"Why don't you bring your junior sister here this time?"

Zhang Shixiu turned around and squinted at the summit pavilion not far ahead. There was a tall blond figure waiting there, and he said:

"She has cultivated enough and has a sensible temperament. It's good to come out and practice this time."

Lu Ya shook his head.

The young Taoist priest with facial paralysis lowered his eyelids slightly.

He did not tell Zhang Shixiu that when the junior sister and a certain little ink spirit were in Xunyang City, they might have been seen by the lady Yunmeng above...

Soon, the two ended their chat and climbed to the top.

Walk into the Spring Garden Pavilion.

There is a candle in the snow, and Yu Nianyuan is there, sitting and standing.

Zhang Shixiu and Lu Ya calmed down their expressions, looked at each other solemnly, presented gifts from their masters, and exchanged a few words.

Xue Zhongzhu didn't even look at the expensive gifts on the table and got straight to the point:

"There is no need for polite words, just gifts. Second Junior Sister said, you agree to take over Yunmeng Ling and obey our dispatch. This is also the reason why I see you. I ask you again, do you Sanqings not regret this?

Decide."

Lu Ya glanced at Zhang Shixiu's back.

This Yunmeng lady's difficult conditions were unexpected during this trip.

The two of them were ordered to come here, not to break up the fight, nor to interfere with it.

But when he heard the queen's condition at the foot of the mountain just now, Zhang Shixiu actually agreed.

Xue Zhongzhu and Yu Nianyuan could naturally tell who was the master between the two, and their eyes fell on Zhang Shixiu's face.

A tall Yue woman entered the pavilion, holding a bronze dagger in both hands.

Zhang Shixiu looked around and without hesitation, took the first step and picked up the Yun Meng Ling.

"I said that poor Dao Yuan Xiuzi is willing to take orders." He said in a calm tone.

Under everyone's surprised looks, Zhang Shixiu apologized:

"But at the Tianshi Mansion, Junior Brother Yuan Yazi still needs to go back, report and convince the teacher."

Xuezhongzhu narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean? Please explain clearly."

Yu Nianyuan also smiled: "Just because you accept the order doesn't mean that the sect receives the order, right?"

Inside the pavilion, sword energy suddenly overflowed.

From the pear tree outside the pavilion, insect girls soared into the sky and circled around the pavilion.

The black Taoist robes and scarves worn by Zhang Shixiu and Lu Ya were making a sound, as if the mountain wind would destroy the pavilion and blow them away in the next second.

The candle-green eyes in the snow looked at the blue sky outside, not looking at them.

Lu Ya, who was standing behind Zhang Shixiu, looked at the snow-white sword on the queen's lap. His face was paralyzed, as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and certain scenes reappeared in front of his eyes.

Zhang Shixiu remained motionless, kept smiling, and spoke sincerely:

"Your Excellency, Madame Jun, please calm down. It's really because Pindao and Yuan Yazi were in a hurry. There was no corresponding order from the Ancestral Hall before departure. Yuan Yazi went back to ask for instructions and told the teachers emotionally and rationally. This

It takes time, I hope you understand.

"However, before that, Pindao can take orders first and follow the arrangements of the eldest lady."

Yu Nianyuan smiled: "Don't you think it takes ten and a half days to send a letter? By then the day lilies will be cold."

Zhang Shixiu looked back at Lu Ya.

The latter understood instantly and lowered his eyes to cooperate: "The Pindao Association will try its best to rush back and notify the Ancestral Master Hall to bring the order back as soon as possible. The three masters and uncles will also come together at some time..."

Xuezhongzhu sneered, not knowing what he was laughing at, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Zhang Shixiu's expression remained unchanged and he said seriously:

"Besides, there is a poor Taoist from the Celestial Master lineage as a hostage. Doesn't the eldest lady still not believe it?"

Yu Nianyuan pondered and shook his head: "What hostages? It's like this sect is forcing you to be clean."

Seeing that the atmosphere had relaxed a little, Zhang Shixiu clasped his fists:

"Actually, I came here this time to convey a message to the elders. I want to plead with your lord not to hurt Prince Xunyang's Mansion in Jiangzhou. Everything else is easy to talk about."
