Zhang Yu saw Taoist Zhankong suddenly looking in a certain direction. He also looked at what he saw, but there was nothing there. But after paying attention, there was something vaguely strange in his heart.
He guessed that this might be something involving Taoist Zhankong.
Taoist Zhankong seemed to have thought of something at this moment. After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and saluted Zhang Yu and said: "Zhang Shouzheng, I suddenly have something to do. I need to leave for a while, but it is inconvenient to take my disciples with me. Can you please stay upright and take care of me?"
.”
Zhang Yu glanced at the little boy and said, "It's okay."
Taoist Zhankong said solemnly: "I owe you a favor from my fellow Taoist." He turned to the little boy and said, "Disciple, please follow Zhang Shouzheng first. I will come to see you in a few days."
The boy bowed to him and said, "Master, don't worry about your disciple. Nothing will happen to you here with Zhang Shouzheng."
Taoist Zhankong looked at Zhang Yu again and said, "I'm tired." Then his body flashed with light, and suddenly he turned into a clear light and escaped.
Zhang Yu said to the little boy, "What's your name?"
The boy was very polite and polite, and replied: "Report Shouzheng, this junior's nickname is Xiaogu."
Zhang Yu saw that although this boy was young, he was very vigilant and would not give his real name easily. This was actually a very correct approach. He nodded and said, "Follow me." After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
.
Xiaogu hummed and followed up, following Zhang Yu. He didn't dare to ask questions and was very quiet along the way, but he still looked around curiously.
He felt that he was not walking fast, but before he knew it, he seemed to have walked a very long way. Finally, he found himself walking on a clean and tidy stone road, but he didn't know how he got there. He seemed to remember
, and seemed not to remember, in a daze, he entered a workshop covered with a large glass wall.
People inside and outside the door didn't seem to see them at all. They were doing their own thing. When he got to the inner room, he saw a young man in his teens running out, bowed respectfully to Zhang Yu, and said with a happy face:
"Why are you here, sir?"
Zhang Yudao: "This is Xiaogu, a disciple of a fellow Taoist. I will stay at your place for the next few days."
Xiaogu came up and bowed, saying respectfully: "Xiaogu has seen this husband before."
When An Zhizhi heard this statement, he immediately felt very pleased with Xiao Gu.
No matter how talented he is, some people always treat him like a child and call him a little boy, but he just doesn't like it.
He patted his chest and said, "You stay here with me. If anyone bullies you, tell me." He saluted Zhang Yu again and said, "Sir, here you are, let the students entertain you." He raised his head again,
He said excitedly: "The student also has a few newly built things that he would like to see sir."
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "That's fine."
Yiluo Shangzhou. After Ban Lan came back from Xuanfu, he paid attention to He Li and said: "You go and prepare some grass plants that are unique to Yiluo Shangzhou."
He Li asked curiously: "What do you want these things for, sir?"
Ban Lan said: "I looked back and thought about it. It is right that Dongting Fuzhou is willing to reveal Fuzhou and attract people to it. If there is anything special about that place, it is not the sacred hill, but the outside.
If we bring these things to that land, it will be smoother and we will have an excuse."
He Li thought for a while and couldn't help but admire him: "Mr., you still have a unique vision."
Ban Lan said calmly: "Go."
He Li handed it over and left.
Ban Lan's actions were always being watched, and he did not hide his actions. Naturally, he was quickly reported to Xu Chengtong.
After Xu Chengtong got the reward, he made a little distinction and immediately made a judgment. He sneered and said: "This kid is probably an outside spy."
The disciple in charge of the report was puzzled and asked: "Teacher, how can you see this? After observing this person for a long time, I didn't find anything wrong with this person."
Ban Lan has been doing some good things these days. Although he may not necessarily be the monk who has contributed the most to Yiluo Shangzhou, if you count the first few, Ban Lan must be among them. Sometimes, take a look
Even he felt a little impressed by what Ban Lan had done.
Xu Chengtong glanced at him and said, "Don't you know the news in the past two days?"
The disciple was a little confused, bowed and said: "I am stupid, please ask the teacher to show me."
Xu Chengtong hated the fact that iron cannot become steel. He slapped the case and reprimanded: "I told you a long time ago that when we are doing things, don't just focus on the present, but also pay attention to the overall situation. Everyone is short-sighted. How can you do it when the teacher is not around?"
How can we do good things for Shouzheng if we are alone?"
The disciple felt ashamed and said, "It's the disciples who are incompetent and are dragging down the teacher."
Xu Chengtong said: "Two days ago, a messenger from heaven came from heaven. This is obviously something big happening. In my opinion, there must be a battle between him and me, Tianxia, and the most important thing in the battle is the enemy's situation, which will definitely attract attention.
Look at this Ban Lan's excuse again, saying that he saw Dongting Film and Painting, and he was pinned down last time and wanted to ask for advice."
He sneered: "It's been a year since the last filming incident in Changhe Fuzhou. He didn't go early or late. Why did he think of it now? This guy is either looking for an opportunity to pass on the news, or he wants to avoid it.
Limelight.
And looking at Fuzhou, it is a place isolated from the inside and outside, and it is inconvenient to transmit news. This person went there first, and I guess he probably wanted to hide in order to protect himself."
The disciple couldn't help showing admiration and said: "Teacher, you really have a keen eye." He admired and murmured in his heart: "Why is it that Teacher can see the intentions of these people so clearly every time?"
Xu Chengtong said in concern: "Keep watching him. No matter where he goes, he will be watched to death."
The disciple quickly agreed.
After several days of preparation, Ban Lan took He Li and several disciples to the east court in a flying boat. The process went smoothly and no one came to stop him.
Yiluo Shangzhou is located among the other continents. Go past Qingyang Shangzhou and then cross the ocean to reach Dongting. It is said that there are only two boundaries, but in fact they are separated by thousands of rivers and mountains. Even if the flying boat is flying at full speed, it will take nearly a month.
day.
The carrying airship he was riding was spacious and huge. It could carry more than 3,000 people, and it was protected by fighting airships on both sides. There was no need to worry about safety on the road.
In order to avoid accidents, he booked a first-class cabin. In the first few days, he tried not to go out.
Eighty-nine days later, He Li came over and said: "Sir, there is a gentleman Cao on the boat. He is a farming official who has recently gone to Dongting to take up his post. It coincides with his son's 100th day, and he held a 100-day banquet. I heard that Mr. Cao also
We are on a boat, so I would like to invite you, sir."
Ban Lan does not reject secular people, but is very willing to get close to them. He also takes great care of ordinary students when he preaches. Therefore, his reputation is not limited to monks, but is also very popular among the people.
If you exclude his identity as an informant, he has actually done many things over the years that many ordinary monks cannot do. Of course, all of these are just things he uses to protect himself.
He thought for a while, since he was an official in Dongting, he would have to deal with him when he got there, so he said, "That's fine, I'll go over there."
After going out, he showed his face in front of the agricultural official named Cao, gave him a congratulatory gift, stayed for a while, and then came back.
But just after walking through the cabin corridor, a man walked over from the opposite side. After seeing him, his face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and he raised his hands and said, "Is this Mr. Ben?"
Ban Lan stood still and said, "It's me."
The man seemed to be very enthusiastic and said: "It is indeed Mr. Ban. I used to listen to his lectures in Xuntian Daozhang and benefited a lot. It's just that I rarely went to Daozhang later. It's really a pity. By the way."
, I have some questions and I would like to ask Mr. Ban for help. Is it inconvenient for Mr. Ban to ask?"
He Li, who was standing behind Ban Lan, said: "Sir, you have a lot of things to do, and you haven't done any practice today. Comrade, can we talk about it some other time?"
The man apologized quickly and said, "This is my fault, isn't it?" He patted his head, took out a booklet from his sleeve, and looked at it with some expectation, "I have many doubts that I don't understand on weekdays, and they are all written down in this book.
It's on the booklet. If sir, if you have time, could you read it for the next batch? I'd be very grateful."
Ban Lan met his gaze, smiled gently, and said, "Of course you can."
He Li came up and took the booklet on his own initiative, saying, "Let me hold it for you, sir."
The man saw him taking it, with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Mr. I'll see you some other time."
Seeing him leaving, He Li wanted to say something, but when he saw Ban Lan's eyes, he shut up. After entering the cabin, he said in a voice: "Sir, do you want to open it?"
Ban Lan nodded, and He Li opened it and started looking through it. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and said, "Sir, it doesn't look like someone from over there."
Ban Lan took it over and saw that the above was indeed just some ordinary problems. He said calmly: "This possibility cannot be ruled out yet."
He Li was startled and said in his heart: "Sir, what should we do?" They went to the East Courtyard just to avoid the whirlpool. If they were approached by that side, they would not be able to avoid it.
Ban Lan said calmly: "Whether this person is or not, since his identity has not been revealed, let's just pretend we don't know it for now. Qingyang is ahead of us. A colleague will come to pick me up then. I will transfer to a private boat and arrive there."
At this time, you can get rid of this person and the stalker who followed him all the way."
On the other side, after the void energy entered the inner layer, it kept heading towards the East Courtyard, but it did not come to the land, but finally landed on an island shrouded in fog.
In the middle of the island, there is an abandoned Tianxia-shaped Taoist temple, with a tablet enshrined on it. As soon as the empty energy fell, it fell into a rusty copper talisman on the Taoist temple's confession table.
The copper talisman was so excited that it suddenly lit up, and the patina on the outside also fell off. It shook, slowly floated up, and then turned into a ray of light and shot out.
Just when he left the Taoist temple, he was caught out of thin air by an outstretched hand and held there, unable to move.
The talisman struggled for a few times, but could not be taken off. At this time, the air on the card floated, and a vague and uncertain figure came out. He bowed his head and said, "Senior Zhankong, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Taoist Zhankong looked at him a few times and said, "Ying Chong?"
The illusory figure said: "It is this junior."
Taoist Zhankong said in a deep voice: "Since your Shangchen sect has left Tianxia, why are you coming back?"
