Lei Zhao is one of the six imperial edicts of the Wu Kingdom. The ancestors are not only the group of people who established the Wu Kingdom, but also the group of people who established the Taoist Palace.
For thousands of years, except for Shezhao, who lives in a corner, the rest of the Five Zhaos have become the most profound and powerful monastic families in the Wu Kingdom.
The Taoist priests in the Taoist Palace are divided into two groups: family and casual cultivators based on their origins. The family Taoist priests are mainly based on the Five Imperial Edicts and cover some small cultivating families in Wu Kingdom.
Judging from Xu Dao's previous life experience, the Wuzhao family is the five major shareholders of the Wu Kingdom and the Dao Palace. If he lacks the connections, he can start from these Wuzhao to obtain the qualifications to join the Tao.
Coincidentally, Xu Dao also had a suitable reason to approach Wu State's Five Imperial Edicts.
One is that he can pretend to be the remnant of Shezhao and see if the Wuzhao of Wu Kingdom will help him out of their former love.
But Xu Dao touched the token of the imperial edict in his sleeve - the jade hook for collecting breath, and after thinking about it for a while, he gave up the idea.
If he borrows Shezhao's identity, he will most likely have to bear the consequences of Shezhao. Since Shezhao is the only remote family among the Six Zhaos, there is a certain possibility that borrowing this identity will have the opposite effect.
Moreover, the identity of Shezhao Yumai is too attractive to Wu Guozhong, and it is inconsistent with his plan to join the Dao Palace in a low-key manner, so it is best not to use it.
As for the remaining one, it was because of Lei Liangxiao’s relationship.
In the hotel, Xu Dao's eyes flickered.
Lei Liangxiao was assigned by the Dancing Demons Hall to go to Jiangzhou to lead the spies and leading figures of the Dancing Demons Hall. His mission was to wreak havoc in the southwest, provoke the local cultivating forces, and even expand the authority of the Demonic Demons Hall.
.
Nowadays, the entire southwest territory has undergone earth-shaking changes. Shezhao and Yakshamen have been destroyed one after another, and the White Bone Temple has become thin. Only the White Bone Temple Master and the Bull-Head Taoist are left in the foundation-building realm.
This situation is really the best situation for Dangyaosi.
What's even better is that when Xu Dao did what he did in Jiangzhou City, he borrowed Lei Liangxiao's name. As far as Lei Liangxiao was concerned, his mission had been exceeded and he could earn a lot of credit.
With such merit, it should be more than enough to get a place to enter the fairy garden.
The above is not Xu Daozai's imagination, but what he deduced one by one based on what he asked Lei Liangxiao from his mouth, which is quite well-founded.
What he didn't even know was that the reason why Lei Liangxiao was willing to go to Jiangzhou alone was to use his trip to Jiangzhou to win a place in the fairy garden.
Moreover, this spot has been reserved for the other party early on. It does not even require that the other party has made much achievements. He can only wait for him to return within the last six months and then he can be included in the Fairy Garden experience category.
It's a pity that Lei Liangxiao has died, and all the hard work and preparations have come to nothing.
Thinking of this, Xu Dao felt certain in his heart and secretly exclaimed: "Brother Lei, I will definitely not let your hard work go to waste."
After making a decision, he planned to start from this person tomorrow, contact Dang Yaosi and Lei Zhao, promote the other party's achievements, and use the other party's merits to get himself a place to enter the fairy garden.
Of course, there are also some problems, such as how he should explain his origins, and what if a surviving Jiangzhou Taoist disciple comes to Jiangzhou City and exposes some situations.
Xu Daoxu had to make careful calculations to make up a good excuse and identity for himself.
………………
After one night's work, Xu Dao thought over and over again and confirmed his words.
The next day, he opened the hotel door and walked straight to the center of Wudu City.
Xu Dao did not go to the ghost market, but came to the place where the government office of the Wu Kingdom was located. After walking around, he found a government office.
This yamen looks ordinary. Although it is still spacious compared to the residential buildings in the city, it is obviously not as majestic as the Dangyao Hall in the ghost market.
But such a house is the important place to control all the demon-driving halls in the Wu Kingdom - the demon-driving department.
It is juxtaposed with the other two departments of Wu State, maintaining the operation of the entire Wu State court, and has a great reputation.
Because the Demon Control Department is not like other halls under its command, it is not responsible for issuing the task of subduing demons and exterminating demons. It is the office of the Yamen and the place where the Prime Minister writes documents. In addition to mortal scribes, officials, and Taoists on duty, there are also
There are no other Taoists coming and going, so it is very quiet.
Xu Dao walked to this place and looked at the ordinary-looking house with some surprise in his eyes.
"Looking at the surface, this yamen is quiet and quiet, even more remote than other yamen. It is more like a warehouse for documents and documents. It is definitely not like a confidential place in Wu Kingdom where the huge power is held and can be killed first and reported later."
But he didn't dare to underestimate this place.
Not to mention that he came here with a request, this Demon Demon Division still directly belongs to the State Master of Wu State. It is rumored that the State Master has visited this place several times to read the documents.
As for the National Master of Wu State, although he is not a member of the Taoist Palace, he is respected by the Taoist Palace. He is a genuine Taoist master and a golden elixir Taoist master!
The reason why the entire Wu Kingdom has not completely become an accessory of the Erhai Taoist Palace is not only because many Taoist priests in the Taoist Palace were originally from the Wu Kingdom, but more importantly, this person is not dead and the Wu Kingdom will not collapse.
.
Xu Dao secretly thought that it would be better for him to keep a low profile. After sorting out his mood, he restrained his Qi, showing only the state of perfect Qi refining, and rushed towards the door of Dang Yaosi with his hands raised.
As expected, before he stepped through the door, a government official stopped him. However, these government officials were very discerning and had even practiced qi, but they had not succeeded in cultivating true qi.
They saw that although Xu Dao was wearing a gray Taoist robe and ordinary clothes, but he had a profound temperament, they did not dare to underestimate him at all, and said respectfully:
"This is the Yamen of the Demon Fighting Department, not the Demon Fighting Hall. It does not undertake the task of subduing demons. If the Taoist priest wants to subjugate demons, he can go to the ghost market to find the Demon Fighting Hall, anywhere from east to west, north, south, etc."
Xu Dao said: "No, Pindao is from Jiangzhou. I have something important to inform your company. Please let me know."
After a pause, he added: "I am entrusted by fellow Taoist Lei Liangxiao, and it is related to the safety of the entire southwest. I'm sorry."
When several government officials saw that he didn't seem to have gone the wrong way, and that what he said was so serious, they didn't dare not believe it. They looked at each other, and one of the officials quickly walked into the government office to look for the person in charge.
The others led Xu Dao into the Yamen and came to a small pavilion to wait.
The small pavilion was built on the right side of the gate, surrounded by pine, cypress, bamboo, and some rockery rocks. It should be used for people working in the yamen to rest and entertain guests.
When Xu Dao walked to the pavilion, there was an old Taoist with neat clothes and long beard standing in front of the bamboo forest and looking at it.
The opponent's temperament is pure and mysterious, with a bookish air, and his cultivation is in the late stage of Qi refining. He should be a Taoist from the Demon Slaying Division who is taking advantage of his free time.
When the old Taoist saw someone coming, he just raised his head and glanced at Xu Dao, then focused on himself and stared at a cocoon on the bamboo forest.
Xu Dao just nodded towards the other party, did not take the initiative to talk to the other party, and waited patiently.
As a result, he waited for two or three hours. Although the government servants were still standing in front of him and brought him a few cups of tea, no news came out.
Even the old Taoist who was standing next to Xu Dao had come back and forth countless times. Now he was holding a miscellaneous book in his hand and comparing the cocoons on the bamboo, as if he wanted to identify what kind of caterpillar was turning.
cocoon.
After two or three hours, even though Xu Dao was a Taoist who usually meditated for most of the day, he still felt a little out of sorts.
After such time passed, the people in the Demon Dang Division should have known about it for a long time, but no one even came out to deal with him, which made Xu Dao frown.
He waited patiently for more than half an hour. Finally, when the sky was dark and everyone in the yamen was about to get off work, he had a turning point.
I saw a white light appearing in the sky above Dang Yaosi, and a Taoist priest was standing on it.
The other party stood in the air and looked down at Xu Dao, waved his hand and drank:
"Hey! That Taoist, are you the one who came from Jiangzhou in the southwest under the entrustment of Lei Liangxiao?"
Xu Dao looked at the Taoist standing in the air and found that the other person's cultivation was at the perfect state of Qi refining, his body was strong, and there was a faint smell of thunder and fire in the surge of magic power.
Xu Dao raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking in his mind: "Could this guy be the one in the thunder edict?"
He just slightly raised his hand and replied: "Exactly."
"Follow me." Taoist Baiguang waved his sleeves and fired a burst of magic power. He ran straight to the west of the city without even touching his feet, not caring at all whether Xu Dao had a magic weapon that could fly.
Xu Dao didn't bother to think about anything anymore. He tiptoed, sword energy surged around his body, and the wind blew loudly, he rose from the ground, rushed into the air, and chased after the opponent.
Such sharp sword energy was scattered in all directions, finally attracting attention from the Demon Sweeping Division.
Several government officials looked at Xu Daozongjian's leaving figure, secretly wiped their sweat, and rejoiced in their hearts:
"Thank you for not neglecting this Taoist master..."
When Xu Dao caught up with the Taoist Bai Guang, the opponent caught up with him after seeing him take just a few breaths. Moreover, the sword energy around him was very powerful, and the magical weapon he used was not bad at first glance.
The Taoist said softly, "Hey!"
And he drank unceremoniously: "What is this magic weapon of yours? Take it out and show it to me."
Xu Dao put the cuttlefish sword on the surface of his body and suppressed his energy. The other party couldn't tell it at all. They just thought Xu Dao was hiding it and wanted him to let it out.
Xu Dao glanced at him. Although he had been mentally prepared for being left alone in the Demon Demon Division, it did not mean that he was willing to suffer this anger.
Ignoring it, Xu Dao just replied: "Fellow Taoist, just lead the way." Then he folded his hands and said nothing.
"You guy!"
Taoist Baiguang immediately showed an angry look on his face and scolded Xu Dao. A burst of lightning surged from his body, proving his identity as a member of the Lei Zhao clan. He seemed to be about to attack Xu Dao if he disagreed with him.
But after sneering a few times, the man finally restrained his movements, just flicked his sleeves and robe, and sped forward.
In just a few dozen breaths, the two of them pulled two spiritual lights over Wudu City, alarming many people in the city, and arrived in front of a spacious mansion.
Wisps of dragon energy fell on the mansion, forming a mist that made the scene inside blurry and unclear.
The Baiguang Taoist did not fly in directly like he did in the Demon Driving Division, but descended to the door and said to Xu Dao forcefully:
"Quickly get off the magic weapon and walk inside."
Xu Dao was convinced. When he fell to the ground and looked up, he found two strange beasts three people tall standing in front of the mansion. Their bodies were covered with lightning. There was a plaque on the vermilion door in the middle, which read "Lei Mansion"
"Two words.
The surrounding walls are two to three feet high and stretch for an unknown number of miles in all directions, making it look like a small city.
Taoist Via Baiguang walked in front, and Xu Dao followed.
After entering the vermilion gate, there was spiritual energy lingering inside, and formations were everywhere. It was a good place for practicing Taoism, and there were quite a few Taoist books about the idea of a great hermit hiding in the city.
At this time, Xu Dao also fully understood that it was the people in the Lei Zhao who had left him in the Demon Demon Division for half a day before calling him over.
This made Xu Dao a little helpless. It was because he saw the ferocious scene of Lei Zhao's disciples outside the city that he went to the Demon Dang Division directly instead of looking for Lei Zhao to flatter him.
But I never thought that the Taoist in charge of the Demon Sect didn't even come out to see him, and just threw him to Lei Zhao.
Xu Dao was walking in Lei Zhao's mansion and found that the interior of the mansion was full of incense and lamps. It looked like a monastic resort, with maids and servants coming and going, and it was full of a scene of princely wealth.
After walking no less than a thousand steps, Xu Dao was led by Taoist Baiguang to a large hall. This hall was towering, with a disk-shaped roof. There was an iron pillar-shaped object in the center, reaching into the sky. It was estimated to be tens to hundreds of feet tall.
High, extremely strange.
There is a huge alchemy furnace in the main hall, with eight red doors, burning with fierce flames, and its heat is amazing.
There was an old man wearing a purple gold Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged on a jade futon, facing the alchemy furnace and facing Xu Dao and his back.
Xu Dao looked over, not even looking at the three-foot-long cauldron in front of him. All his eyes fell on the old man.
This person's Qi and blood are tyrannical and masculine. The heat of the flames in the alchemy furnace in front of him is less than one-third of the opponent's. He must be a Taoist priest in the foundation-building realm.
Old Taoist Lei Zhao heard the footsteps of Xu Dao and the others and sighed hoarsely: "The last ten days have not been thunderstorm days. I'm afraid this stove won't be able to be turned on."
As he spoke, a hot spiritual consciousness immediately surged out from the other party's body, like a blazing flame, instantly filling the entire palace and pressing hard on Xu Dao.
The face of the Taoist disciple standing in front of Xu Dao immediately changed, showing a look of difficulty, but he closed his mouth tightly and did not dare to speak.
Thoughts flashed through Xu Dao's mind, and he immediately took a few steps back, showing a look of horror in time, pretending to be frightened.
In his heart, he secretly guessed: "In the middle stage of foundation building, the Taoist priest will be killed!"
"Jie Jie!" After seeing Xu Dao's "unbearable" behavior, a cold laugh came from the mouth of the old man Lei Zhao.
The opponent's back was still facing Xu Dao, but his shadow was squirming on Xu Dao's body. Its flickering changes seemed to have sharp teeth on the corners of its head, which could pounce out and chew the person to pieces at any time.
The first thing the old man Lei Zhao said when he asked Xu Dao was:
