Lou Shuo said that the most lively thing in Qianling City was the lantern festival at night, so they decided to rest in Lou Mansion temporarily and go out for fun in the evening. Taking advantage of the free time before dark, Lou Shuo took Qing Jue directly. In the martial arts field in the mansion, they planned to compete in swordsmanship, and Jiang Ran and others were also dragged to watch the battle.
Only Fan Chen, as the master, was retained by Master Lou Shan. In his opinion, Lou Shuo could arrange the classmates, but the master was an elder, so naturally he, the elder, had to entertain him personally. By the way, he also learned about his boy in Zhentian Pavilion. The situation of learning Taoism.
Fan Chen said he would really appreciate it, but he had to stay.
After a few people left, Lou Tao, who was originally enthusiastic, changed his expression and saluted Fan Chen with a serious look on his face.
"Lou Tao, I've met Tianzun!" He was also the old man who killed demons in the past. Naturally, he recognized the other person at a glance. He just kept cooperating when he saw that the other person didn't want to be exposed. "I wonder if Tianzun came here in person, but what orders do you have?" ?”
"Master Loushan, you don't have to be polite." Fan Chen gave him a hand and said in a deep voice, "I don't have anything important to do. It's just that Princess Fengtian wants to come here, and it's the time when Zhentian Pavilion is busy with affairs. I will accompany you as my master." He made up a reason casually and directly concealed Qi Kuo, who was specially sent out before leaving, and Huang Xue, who was called back from the Western Regions.
"That's it!" Lou Tao breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that nothing serious happened. Seeing how much he valued the princess, it seems that the previous rumors that Zhentian Pavilion favored Tiangong were true. He thought carefully and his expression softened. Young Master, chuckled and said, "I have long heard that Tianzun has left seclusion, but I have been busy with Ling's affairs. I really feel ashamed that I will not have time to go and congratulate you in the future."
"The mountain master is interested." Fan Chen didn't care about this and nodded, but his mind drifted to the people in the martial arts field outside. I wonder if they have finished the competition?
"Speaking of which, Venerable Qi Kuo also came to Qianling a few years ago." Lou Tao thought of something and quickly reported, "He once said that Zhentian Pavilion had frequent changes and reminded me to pay more attention to some traces of the old demonic ways. In recent years, I have been We are pursuing these things."
"Oh?" He finally regained his composure, frowned slightly and looked at the person in front of him, "Did you find something?" Otherwise, he wouldn't have mentioned it at this time.
"We have found some abnormalities." Lou Tao nodded and his face became solemn, "It's just that the people behind the scenes seem to be very cautious. Often when they start to pay attention, the clues are cleared up, and there is no big progress. .”
Fan Chen's frown deepened. Although the sealing riot in Zhentian Pavilion was finally found to be caused by Yi Ge, the Immortal Lord of the Southern Realm, and the magic talisman also flowed out of his hand. However, the sealing riot was not just that one, the most serious one It was that time a hundred years ago. It was that time that forced Fan Chen to enter the lower level of the seal and guard it personally.
Since then, there have been cracks in the seal, and there will be small riots from time to time. It is not like he has not sensed some attacks against the seal.
At the beginning, Fan Chen asked Yi Ge about the origin of those magic talismans. But even Yi Ge himself couldn’t explain clearly. He only said that hundreds of years ago, he was in some ruins of the gods and passed it to Qi Kuo with the tribe. Obtained together with Xiaoxue's technique.
Now Ah Ran has seen that that skill is a magic skill, and the so-called relics are definitely not the relics of the gods. If they did not exist thousands of years ago, then they can only be discovered by thoughtful people who deliberately led Yi Ge to discover it.
In other words, behind all this, there is another mastermind who has carefully laid out a plan to involve Yi Ge, Qi Kuo, Huang Xue, and even him. It even started hundreds of years ago. .
Qi Kuo had been pursuing this matter before, but the clues always pointed to Beiyun, but why did Qian Ling, who was in the east, also detect an abnormality?
"There is one more thing I want to report to the Heavenly Lord..." Lou Tao thought for a while and continued, "The demon world seems to be uneasy recently. Many big demon clans have begun to move to the border areas of immortals. I heard that there are some old demons in the heaven. We still have regular contact with the clan, and I suspect that this demon king may have other plans and may cause some trouble."
Fan Chen's face darkened and he said directly, "You can report these directly to the Emperor of Heaven, and she will handle the matter."
"Yes!" Lou Tao responded with a habitual clasped fist, "I will report it to you right now."
Fan Chen looked at the respectful expression on the other party's face and couldn't help but remind him smoothly, "Master Lou Shan, you don't have to be like this. It's not what it used to be, and you are no longer my subordinate." When he was fighting against the devil, he was indeed placed under him. I obeyed my orders, but that was only then.
He was stunned for a moment, a look of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, he smiled with a smile, sniffed and said stubbornly, "But this subordinate... still fucks Ling Lou Tao."
"..." Fan Chen couldn't persuade him any more, so he let him go. Seeing that the matter was almost the same, he raised his head and glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting late. If we stay here for too long, it will arouse suspicion. I'll go find him." They are gone."
"Yes." Lou Tao saluted, raised his head and glanced at Fan Chen, who was stepping out of the room briskly. He swayed for a moment, and subconsciously called out, "Tianzun..."
"Huh?" The other party paused and looked back at him questioningly, "What else do you want?"
"No, I just..." Lou Tao was stunned, looked at him again, and said with some sigh and joy, "I just feel that compared to the last time we met, you seem... to have changed a lot."
The last time he saw the other person was hundreds of years ago. He still remembered the gloomy and almost crazy look on his body. His whole body was like a string that was stretched to the extreme and could break at any time, and he also seemed to have experienced the most terrible thing. After a desperate situation, the heart has become dead. He is obviously alive, but there is no trace of life in his body. He is completely different from the relaxed and happy person in front of him, who seems to have no haze.
It was precisely because of the admiration in his heart that he intuitively felt that the person in front of him had changed and became... more like before, when... that person was still there.
Fan Chen was stunned for a moment, naturally understanding what he was saying, but not knowing how to answer. He just nodded his head in response, then turned around and continued walking out of the house.
Lou Tao watched the other party walk out and sighed softly. He couldn't help but feel relaxed. Tianzun was able to walk out of the shadow of the past like he is now because the seal was stable and he could finally leave the Zhentian Pavilion temporarily. He must have been in this state for thousands of years. Change is a good thing, at least he won't do anything as crazy as he did a thousand years ago.
He breathed a sigh of relief and put aside these exclamations. Next, he had to think carefully about what kind of reason he could make up and say it was the master's evaluation, and then use it to beat his own brat?
Children should be beaten more often, otherwise how will they grow up?
