Cheng Linwan was sleepy and hungry, but she didn't dare to close her eyes. The imprisonment for a day and a night made the Cheng family feel extremely frightened, especially in the darkness around her, as if a mouse was biting something, and the sound was creepy.

A day ago, when Cheng Linwan was walking home at the city gate, she suddenly felt a dizzy and fainted for no reason. When she woke up, she found herself tied to a gloomy and terrifying prison.

There were torches shaking in the distance, and it was impossible to see if there were anyone. The darkness around seemed to be hidden in countless evil beasts. The terrifying feeling made Cheng Linwan dare not close her eyes, let alone make a sound. She just stared at the darkness in front of her with big red eyes.

It is impossible for people to open their eyes all day long. After a day and a night, Cheng Linwan could no longer hold on. She gritted her teeth and wanted to sleep for a while.

Heavy footsteps appeared in her ears, from far to near, and finally stopped behind her. Cheng Linwan was so scared that she was about to fly. She couldn't turn around and couldn't see who was behind her, but she could feel a cold gaze wandering on her body.

"Do you recognize Xu Yan?"

There was only one cold question, but Cheng Linwan was shocked and rushed her here for a day and night just to ask whether she could recognize Xu Yan?

Bang!

A big hand grabbed the girl's neck from behind, and Cheng Linwan's face immediately turned pale. The feeling of being unable to breathe was as if she was about to drown, which made her tremble all over.

"Do you recognize Xu Yan or not?"

"Acknowledge it, recognize it!"

Cheng Linwan forced a word, and then she exhaleed again.

"Where is he from, what is his real identity?"

The chill from behind his neck made Cheng Linwan panic and confused, like a frightened bird. He hurriedly said truthfully: "Xu Yan was my childhood playmate. We lived in Linshan Town. He was a little Taoist priest in Chengyun Temple."

"Linshan Town...Chengyun Temple?"

The voice behind him became weird, as if he had remembered something. After a long time, in Cheng Linwan's extremely panic, footsteps sounded again behind him, and the terrifying person had already walked away.

"Grandpa, dad, woooooooooooooooooooo..."

In the empty and dark prison, the girl's intermittent sobs sounded, but no one paid attention to her, and there was no water or food. If she continued to imprison like this, those who waited for Cheng Linwan would be starved to death.

At the entrance of the dungeon, the mage of Xianfeng Tao Gu stepped out. Here is a three-story pagoda. The three mages of Taiqing Sect each have a pagoda to live in.

"Xu Yan, the little Taoist priest from Linshan Town, it turns out that you are a native and ordinary person!"

Inside the pagoda, Chen Du, one of the three great masters of the Taiqing Sect, was grinning and talking to himself: "The leader is indeed very powerful. He can see that the girl from the Cheng family is related to Xu Yan. This news is interesting. I wonder what article the leader will use to do after he learns it. The Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion dares to cover up and conceal Xu Yan's origin. If you want to write a book on the preface to the saint, that old guy Zuo Prime Minister, you have to take care of it if you can't eat it!"

Xu Yan and Cheng Linwan were childhood playmates. In other words, Zuo Prime Minister has always known Xu Yan’s true origin, and it would be nothing if he had been someone else, but Zuo Prime Minister’s status was destined to be inseparable from the fact that he could not escape the crime of deceiving the king. Since Xu Yan was a Dapu person, if Qi State wants to know the truth, wouldn’t Dapu’s princess have to be protected even if he is not alive?

After learning about Xu Yan's background, Chen felt that he had seized the handle of the Tianmen Marquis.

It is useless to deal with a small Xu Yan. Their great enemy of the Puritanism was the Left Prime Minister of the current dynasty. If Xu Yan could be used to threaten the Left Prime Minister, it would be the most beneficial. Especially the granddaughter of the Left Prime Minister was also captured. Under these two oppressions, there is no fear that the Left Prime Minister would not submit.

When Chen thinks of his contributions, he feels so beautiful in his heart.

The robbery of Cheng Linwan was an errand instructed by the leader. Chen Du took action himself. Then he caught Cheng Linwan in Zangyun Temple without any idea. Not to mention that no one saw it, even the disciples of the Tai Puritan Sect knew it.

Even though he was happy, Chen felt that it would be better to inform the leader of the news as soon as possible. The leader has been in charge of the Yulong Temple these days and has never returned to Zangyun Temple.

After making up his mind, Chen Du stroked his goatee and strode out of the tower, saying to himself as he walked: "Xu Yan, Xu Yan, you are hiding very deeply. Two years ago, I sent my subordinates to Linshan Town and were wiped out overnight. Could it be that you did a good thing? Don't worry, we will be in a long way, and I will dig out your secrets bit by bit!"

Since he learned that Xu Yan was from Chengyun Temple, Chen immediately remembered that his disciples who were sent to Linshan Town and several nearby towns two or three years ago, all the disciples of the Tai Puritans died in Chengyun Temple, and Chengyun Temple also collapsed overnight. He had sent people to inquire about this matter, and the rewards he received were varied. Chen thought that the most reliable one should be the turn of the earth dragon, so after this matter, he forgot it.

It was nothing to die a few disciples, but when Chen learned that Xu Yan was actually from Chengyun Temple, how could Chen not be suspicious? He thought it was very likely that his subordinates had died at Xu Yan's hands.

Why can a young Taoist priest in his teens kill more than a hundred Tai Puritan disciples in one fell swoop?

Chen felt that Xu Yan seemed to have many secrets. When he had the chance, he decided to dig out all Xu Yan's real secrets.

The arrival of opportunities is often beyond expectations, sometimes it will be slower to a lifetime, and sometimes it will be as fast as the blink of an eye. Chen Du was about to step out of the pagoda when he heard someone outside admiring.

"What a magnificent pagoda!"

Hearing the praise, Chen Du thought to himself that this is nothing nonsense, how could the pagoda where this master lives in is stingy?

After stepping out of the door, Chen Du immediately saw the guy who praised him as the pagoda, so Chen Du was shocked and almost jumped back into the tower.

"Xu Yan!"

Just as he was thinking about someone else, he didn't expect to meet him when he went out. Chen Du was also shocked, but he quickly reacted. Shocked turned into a smile in an instant, bowed his head, and said, "It turned out to be Master Yan. I don't know what wind blows Master Yan to my Xuanming Tower."

"Northwest wind." Xu Yan muttered, and bowed his head and returned the favor, saying, "Master Chen is polite, there is nothing to do today. I originally wanted to come and visit, but I didn't expect to meet Master Chen by chance. It's fate, fate."

"If a friend comes from afar, he will definitely raise his glass to celebrate. Since Master Yan has arrived at Xuanming Tower, I will have the fullest friendship as a landlord. Master Yan invites him." Chen Du smiled and bowed to greet him.

"I heard for a long time that Xuanming Tower is the first pagoda in the capital. Now I have said it with my own eyes. The rumors are indeed true. Master Chen invites you, how can you not enter the tower to see it? Trouble, Trouble." Xu Yan smiled and returned the politeness, and walked with big strides.
