The two figures sat opposite each other and had a great time talking.
"Qinglian Sect?"
"The issue of Deacon Wei has evoked my long-standing memories."
The owner of Li Guan picked up a chopstick of green vegetables and put them in his mouth and chewed them slowly.
After thinking for a long time, he spoke, "Thirty years ago, the Qinglian Sect was very popular and was suppressed by the court and the sect. All the core sects were wiped out, and they have never heard of it since then."
"At that time, the old Taoist was still a disciple who had just joined the Yuanyi Mountain Gate. He didn't expect that half of the time had passed, and he actually heard the name of the Qinglian Sect again."
Wei Tao took a sip of tea and did not mention the information he obtained through different channels, but instead found a reason casually.
"I have never heard of the Qinglian Sect before, but I met a caravan team outside the city not long ago, and I heard about the relevant news from them."
"What do those businessmen say?" asked Master Li Guan.
Wei Tao thought slowly, "What they said was that the Red Lantern Festival developed in Cangyuan City and the rioters who flew over from Mozhou seemed to have something to do with the Qinglian Sect."
"Red Lantern Festival?"
Guanzhu Li asked in confusion, "But I have never heard of this organization, and I don't know that it can be related to the Green Lotus Sect."
"But Deacon Wei doesn't have to be nervous. After all, in order to destroy the Qinglian Sect, the imperial court and the sect were digging three feet into the ground.
In addition to their main hall, they also uprooted the branches of various places, which would not give them the possibility of rekindling."
Wei Tao picked up the wine glass beside him, "I just listened casually, and then talked to the audience casually, drinking."
After a moment of banquet.
Under the leadership of two little Taoists, Wei Tao passed through the corridors and halls, and then passed rows of pavilions and towers, and finally stopped in front of a courtyard surrounded by bamboo forests.
"This is the deacon's residence, called Green Bamboo Garden."
The little Taoist priest opened the gate of the courtyard and pointed to the two-story building inside and said.
Wei Tao walked in slowly and looked up at the quaint and elegant building.
The main entrance on the first floor was opened, and two rows of peddlers came out one after another with cleaning tools, saluting and greeting them.
The decoration style of the Xiaolou is very consistent with his taste, with a little atmosphericity hidden in the elegance, giving people a peaceful feeling of peace and quietness.
He walked slowly along the hall and finally stood on the edge of a slightly dark staircase.
Go up here and you will reach the second floor.
There are only a few bedrooms upstairs, but there is a large platform, which is a great place to rest and see the scenery.
The little Taoist priest quickly retreated.
Only Wei Tao was left sitting upright in the yard, drinking the freshly brewed new tea without a single sip, and admiring the crisp green bamboo forest outside.
After a long time, he put the teacup on the table, "Come in, the tea will be cold in a while."
Swish...
A figure quietly pushed open the yard door and bowed across the table.
"I have met Deacon Wei."
This is a middle-aged Taoist priest in his thirties, with a sense of closeness.
Wei Tao asked with a slight head, "Is there anything wrong with avoiding those people and secretly coming to see me?"
"I didn't come to pay tribute to the deacon secretly, but came to ask the deacon for his needs on the order of the deacon."
The middle-aged Taoist priest said respectfully, "The subordinate is named Zuo Shi. He is usually responsible for the purchase of materials from the Taoist temple. If the deacon has any needs, he can give him instructions directly."
"Your position is very good."
Wei Tao pointed to the stone bench opposite, "How tired you are when you stand and talk, sit down."
Zuo Shi did not move, but still bowed and stood there, "The oil and water are all from Taoist temples, and my subordinates have never had any thoughts on this."
Looking up, Wei Tao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether you have any ideas. As long as you have the trust of Lord Li, it should be enough to listen to the instructions of Lord Li for more things."
Zuo Shi seemed to be unaware of the meaning of this sentence, and still stood up solemnly.
But when I opened my mouth again, the sound suddenly became very low.
"Deacon Wei said very well, but his subordinates purchased various supplies as ordered by the observer.
The main job is to serve as the eyes of Daozi, help her observe the mountains, rivers, grass and trees here."
"oh?"
Wei Tao kept his smile and sat upright, "I didn't expect that Aoba Daozi was working hard in addition to practicing hard, and was also concerned about the development and growth of the Taoist temples below."
After entering the door, Zuo Shi raised his head for the first time and glanced at Wei Tao.
Then he lowered his eyes and sighed softly, "Daoman, don't want to be fun and scare his subordinates. The Taoist he is talking about is naturally Ni Daozi."
Silently, a closed black metal box appeared on the stone table.
Zuo Shi stepped back, "If the deacon doesn't believe it, you will know it when you open this box."
Wei Tao shook his head, "Come and open it."
"If the subordinates cannot open it, if they use brute force, they will damage the things inside."
Zuo Shi was silent for a moment, "Daozi said, the secret key is on the Taoist sign of Lord Deacon."
Wei Tao took out the Taoist sign and observed it carefully, then looked at the cloud patterns on the surface of the box, and his heart suddenly became clear.
After several breaths.
There was a light bang.
The lid bounced up to reveal what was ridden inside.
He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and took out a paper sign full of beautiful handwriting from under the pile of pills.
Comparing with Guiyuan Gong’s marking, we can confirm that the paper sign was written by Ni Feng.
He quickly looked at it, and he re-tightened the lid and asked in confusion, "Aren't she being confined to see people? Why can she still convey things and news?"
Zuo Shi thought for a moment and shook his head slowly, "I don't know much, but this time I met with Grandma Yu's people."
The figure in front of the library appeared in front of Wei Tao's eyes, and the old man's doting smile on his face.
He thoughtfully, "Do you still want to reply to her?"
"I have been waiting for your arrival. Now that I have seen the deacon, I naturally have to report this matter to me.
If the deacon wants to contact Daozi, he can also pass the message through his subordinates."
"Okay, you'll give her two things."
"First, I didn't encounter encirclement and chasing. The reason why I came late was mainly because I went to the surrounding area of the city to relax and rest, so I delayed some time.
Second, the skills I practice seem to have signs of breakthrough, and maybe I will be able to climb the first level building soon."
After saying that, he picked up the teacup and said, "Do you remember it all?"
"Don't worry, Lord Deacon, I remember it."
Wei Tao added, "I will give me more medicinal materials that replenish blood and qi. If you need to say something to Master Li, I will go to him personally to say hello."
"Daozi said before that the needs of the deacon is the most important task of his subordinates.
Therefore, you don’t need to talk too much to you and the adjective. You should collect the resources of your cultivation and will handle it yourself.
I will get a list of medicinal materials for the deacon to take a look. Whether it is quantity or quality, it will definitely satisfy you."
Wei Tao turned his head slightly, and suddenly changed his subject, "Master Li Guan, which lineage is he from?"
Zuo Shi lowered his voice again, "Lord Li Guan is versatile and has been operating in Luoshui for a long time..."
"Okay, I understand." Wei Tao waved his hand and had already obtained enough information, so he did not let Zuo Shi continue to talk.
The versatile qualities show that the Qingfeng Temple is not reliable.
And long-term operation means that he has a deep root in Luoshui City and can be completely independent and become one.
This also explains why there was no deacon in Qingfeng Temple for a long time before him.
Then, in this case, Ni Feng could still force him in.
It also shows from the side that her energy in the Yuanyi Dao is indeed very large.
More importantly, in addition to observing the progress of her practice, whether she has other purposes is also worthy of deep thinking.
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through my heart.
Wei Tao calmed down his thoughts and asked Zuo Shi about the situation in Luoshui City.
From different perspectives, we draw many new views.
For places that were not paid much attention to before, there were also supplements of intelligence information.
It was not until half an hour later that he got up and sent him away.
