The storyteller's hometown is in Huai'an Prefecture in the Central Plains, not far from Mount Xumi.
Three days ago, Li Ziye and Phantom left Mount Xumi and were indeed able to enter Huai'an Mansion.
The old storyteller paced and thought, and said: "This old woman has been sleeping for more than 20,000 years. How could she just take her apprentice on a tour when she wakes up, without taking any action at all?
What kind of medicine is she selling in her gourd?"
Mr. Qiu said: "She seems to be looking for something."
The old storyteller asked: "What are you looking for?"
Mr. Qiu shook his head and said: "I don't know. Li Ziye's cultivation is too strong. Our people can't get within 500 feet of her. We can only track her scent through Qianxun Bird.
As for whether she was looking for someone or something in the past few months, or as you said, she was traveling around the mountains and rivers, we have no idea."
People like the old storyteller don't really care much about Ye Xiaochuan's affairs.
Protecting Ye Xiaochuan is only temporary and incidental.
If Li Ziye hadn't suddenly appeared more than half a year ago, these people would not have been summoned to show up.
They are like a smaller version of the guardian clan, and they have their own mission.
The catastrophe of the Three Realms has nothing to do with them, and the game in the sky has nothing to do with them either.
If it weren't for the sake of the storyteller's face this time, they wouldn't come to protect Ye Xiaochuan.
At the same time, in the northern part of the Golden Sands Valley in the Western Region, there was the Savage Temple.
The people of Middle-earth had all finished their breakfast and began to sit together and chat. It was just dawn in the Wilderness Temple.
The temple at this moment is no different from the past.
With the end of the Human Alliance, the disciples of the various factions of the Demon Cult have returned to their own sects one after another. Only the five-element flag that has been guarding it for thousands of years is left in the temple.
Two hours ago, Huangfu died in the Xuanhuo Altar under the temple.
Back then, he was injured by Qiankunzi's Xuanyuan Divine Sword, and his body was deteriorating. A year ago, he was so weak that he could only use the essence of ten thousand fires in the Xuanhuo Altar to sustain his life.
However, he has reached the point where his fuel is exhausted and all the energy of fire is powerless.
He died for two hours, and only a dozen or so people knew about it. Changkong sealed the secret of Huangfu's death because he wanted to help Zuo Qiu ascend to power.
Changkong was so cautious because he had no choice but to do so.
Originally, the positions of the two envoys on the left and right were determined by the Holy Heart of the previous generation of Holy Envoys, and the successors were designated, just like Huangfu's succession and Tianwen. No one else was allowed to have objections, and the bosses of the Demon Sect and Ghost Sect had no objections.
Quan interfered with the change of envoys on the left and right.
In the past four thousand years, the two envoys on the left and right have changed. Outsiders can't say anything because there is no leader. In the past, when there was a leader, both the chief and deputy flag bearers of the Five Elements Flag and the two envoys on the left and right were personally appointed by the leader.
.
Now there is an acting leader in the Holy Church who exercises the authority of the leader.
From this perspective, Tuoba Yu has the right to appoint and remove the two envoys and the flag bearer of the Five Elements Flag.
However, the Five Elements Banner was independent from the various factions of the Holy Religion and formed its own system. Tuoba Yu did not interfere too much with the affairs of the temple.
Tuoba Yu could tolerate Tianwen becoming the chief envoy of the left, but he would never tolerate Zuo Qiu becoming the chief envoy of the right.
The reason is very simple. He has already identified Changkong's successor.
It's called Feng Shu Shi.
He is not well-known in the human world, but he is well-known in the demon sect.
There are also rumors in the Demon Sect that Feng Shushi and Feng Tianqiong, the poisonous young master of the Demon Sect, are cousins.
Tuoba Yu wanted to support Feng Shushi to rise to power because he knew that this was not a rumor. Feng Shushi and his disciple Feng Tianqiong were indeed cousins.
He did not hesitate to offend Xuantian Sect and saved Changkong and his daughter Zuo Qiu.
Even though he was selling Changkong a favor, he still went to great lengths to help Changkong find a successor.
It's better now. Changkong is ungrateful and regards all his good intentions as a donkey's liver and lungs. How can Tuoba Yu let him go so easily?
There are many reasons. As long as Tuoba Yu firmly grasps that Zuo Qiu is a disciple of Xuantian Sect, he can disrupt Changkong's plan.
Changkong knew that this matter was difficult, but he felt that he owed Zuo Yue and his daughter too much in his life. Now that Zuo Yue was dead, he just wanted his daughter to become a famous figure in the crazy world.
First, only if Zuo Qiu becomes one of the Holy Envoys of the Holy Religion can she resist the pursuit from the Xuantian Sect.
Secondly, this is to compensate Zuo Qiu.
Zuo Qiu rebelled against the Xuantian Sect and never thought that one day he would become the Holy Priest.
During this period of time, she was living in the temple and was not happy. She thought about Ye Xiaochuan every day.
Previously at the Xuanhuo Altar, next to Huangfu's body, Changkong told him where he wanted to take him, which shocked Zuo Qiu.
The flag bearer of the Five Elements Flag on the side also frowned.
However, Changkong has made up his mind, and those flag bearers are powerless to do anything.
Zuo Qiu left the Xuanhuo Altar and came to the gate of the temple, looking at the rising morning glow.
The Black Rock Mountain to the east, against the backdrop of the morning glow, is like a mirage in the desert, very illusory.
I don't know how long it took, but Changkong came behind Zuo Qiu.
Said: "Qiu'er, do you still remember what day it is today?"
Zuo Qiu said: "What?"
Changkong said: "The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Your birthday.”
Zuo Qiu's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously reached out and touched a very delicate space storage ring on the ring finger of his right hand.
This was a birthday gift given to her by Ye Xiaochuan on this day last year at the foot of Muyun Peak in southern Xinjiang.
Changkong knew that the ring on Zuo Qiu's finger was one of her most precious things, because it was given to her by Ye Xiaochuan.
He said: "It's been eight months, and you've been feeling depressed and haggard all day long. I know you're thinking about Ye Xiaochuan.
It is all thanks to him that our father and daughter can be reunited. I am very grateful to him.
On this day last year, he gave you a ring, which saved a life. This year, the birthday gift dad gives you is the position of right-hand envoy of the Holy Religion."
Zuo Qiu said: "I don't want to sit in your seat..." Changkong said: "You have to sit, not for yourself, not for me, but for Ye Xiaochuan."
Zuo Qiu said: "What?"
Changkong looked at Dongfang and said slowly: "Ye Xiaochuan must not be dead, and he must not be found by other sects. If you want to find him, you must have someone in your hands. If you want to protect him, you must have power in your hands.
Only if you sit in my position and become the holy envoy of the Holy Religion will you have the authority.
Ye Xiaochuan is not an ordinary person. The blow on Cangyun Mountain was huge, but it will never defeat this man. He will definitely reappear.
He is a descendant of Ye Cha and the son of Ye Tianxing. Now he has left the Cangyun Sect. When he appears again, he will most likely enter the Holy Sect and take over the Ghost Xuan Sect.
There are many people who want Ye Xiaochuan dead. If you have no power and no one, how can you protect him?"
Zuo Qiu gradually figured it out.
She felt that her father was right, she must strive for the position of Holy Envoy.
Not for myself, but for Ye Xiaochuan.
She said: "What do you want me to do?"
Seeing that Zuo Qiu had agreed, Changkong felt relieved and said, "You don't have to do anything, daddy will arrange everything."
