Wang Li and the other three bowed respectfully again.
"Oh~ I was like this when I went up the mountain back then, I was very cautious."
Senior Brother Zhong said in a very emotional tone, and then said jokingly, "You three guys started at an unfortunate time. During this time, Qian Ming and the other senior brothers and sisters from Yuandu Palace went to Kyushu to practice and look for opportunities. Otherwise, you can still make a small fortune. There are a few senior brothers who have been famous masters in the sect for a long time, and they can easily find a magic weapon for you."
Wang Li and the three of them said they didn't dare. They were about to ask this senior brother about the situation on the mountain. Suddenly they saw rows of gorgeous palaces and courtyards appearing on the mountainside. Looking around, they found people sitting cross-legged in one of the courtyards. Many figures.
"Is that where Yuandu Palace is?"
The three people standing at the top of the cloud couldn't help but make this conjecture at the same time, but they immediately confirmed that their conclusion was wrong.
Wang Li heard from his teacher yesterday that Qianming Palace is opposite Yuandu Palace, but opposite these courtyards located on the mountain is Daze outside the mountain. It is definitely not Yuandu Palace, and Senior Brother Zhong has not lowered his head. mean.
"Those courtyards are the outer courtyards established by the sect's deacons in each branch."
Seeing the different expressions on the three people's faces, Senior Brother Zhong said something, but his tone sounded a bit mocking.
Wang Li looked at his senior brother's face, and sure enough, he was looking at the shrinking palaces with a joking look on his face, with an expression of indescribable contempt. He asked doubtfully: "Excuse me, senior brother, have you heard anything about the deacon courtyard? What is this outer courtyard?" Where?"
"They're just a bunch of wishful thinking wretches."
Senior Brother Zhong sneered, then straightened his face and said: "This is a method used by those rotten people in the Deacon Academy in recent years. They cleverly created a name and relied on the sect's laws and regulations to select good talents and send disciples to them. The setup actually has ulterior motives, not only does it want to take advantage of the loopholes to occupy the quota of entry-level disciples of each lineage, but it even wants to control the advancement paths of the true disciples of various palaces."
"Although there are many people they sent who have excellent qualifications, most of them are backed by giant clans."
Qin Hong looked shocked when he heard this and said, "I didn't expect that the Deacon House would have such power in the sect now?"
Wang Li's expression moved slightly. The Deacon House he learned from Qin Hong was just an organization responsible for distributing cultivation resources to sect disciples on time. To put it bluntly, it acted as a steward. Although it also had the responsibility of supervising sect disciples, it also had the responsibility of supervising sect disciples. It can scare those who are new to it.
If a disciple in the Seven Meridians Palaces misbehaves or violates the laws, even if they have the courage to do so, they will not dare to take action. They must report it to the Seven Meridians, and only dare to take action after receiving decrees from the various palaces.
His thoughts changed, and he suddenly raised his hands and asked, "Senior brother, are there any other palaces supporting the Deacon House?"
Senior Brother Zhong couldn't help but be surprised: "Junior brother, why are you asking here?"
Wang Li smiled and said: "The Deacon Academy definitely does not have the strength and courage, and didn't Senior Brother explain it in his words just now?"
"Junior brother got the guidance from two uncles before he started. Most of the so-called giant clans are founded by the blood of some accomplished masters in the seven lineages, or they are wealthy clans that have been reincarnated and multiplied by their predecessors."
Senior Brother Zhong smiled slightly and said, "Have those two junior uncles ever told you that these wealthy children like to use their power to bully others?"
Wang Li nodded lightly.
Senior Brother Zhong continued: "Have the two senior uncles given you any advice on how to deal with trouble when trouble comes to your door?"
Wang Li nodded again.
"very good!"
Senior Brother Zhong patted Wang Li on the shoulder, "Originally I was going to give you some advice, but now it saves trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, the clouds under the feet of the few people immediately accelerated. Wang Li only saw the scenery change. After a few breaths, a majestic blue-grey palace appeared in front of him.
Senior Brother Zhong lowered his head from the clouds and after getting down on the ground, the three of them discovered that the ground beneath their feet was completely paved with white jade. After standing for a while, they felt refreshed and calm.
Wang Li raised his eyes and saw that there were several stairs ten steps ahead. The three of him were standing ten steps away from the main entrance of the palace. At this moment, he suddenly stretched out his hand and a black shadow came from his sleeve.
flew out.
"Meow~meow~"
This black shadow is Amber.
As soon as it landed on the ground, it surrounded Wang Li and started barking. It sounded a bit complaining, but after just a few barks, it showed an intoxicated look and started running on the white jade ground.
"I didn't expect that junior brother actually raised a spiritual beast."
Senior Brother Zhong saw it interestingly, and as he spoke, he took out a brochure bag from his arms, squatted down and said, "I just came out, so I won't go in. Junior brothers, please go and pay respects to your uncle and master!"
After he finished speaking, he took out a cherry-sized fruit from his brocade bag. Amber, who was having fun, stopped instantly, turned away and ran towards Senior Brother Zhong.
"Meow~"
Senior Brother Zhong put his hand on Hu Hu's head and slid it, "Hmm~ This feels much better than those tigers down the mountain."
"Meow~"
Amber half-squinted her eyes, looking like she was enjoying herself.
Wang Li's cheek twitched. He could see clearly that the little thing's head had been rubbing against Senior Brother Zhong's arm holding the fruit. He shook his head and called Brother Qin Hong. The three of them straightened their clothes and looked at each other.
He walked towards the main hall with a squinting look.
The distance of ten steps was very short. They walked side by side into the entrance of the hall. They immediately saw a giant cauldron in the middle of the hall, with three bunches of incense burning in the cauldron. Looking closer, they saw three Taoists sitting in front of the giant cauldron.
On the futon.
Two of them were sitting opposite each other, with a chess table in the middle covered with black and white pairs. They were obviously playing chess. One had a handsome face and looked younger than Senior Brother Zhong, while the other was an old man with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a childlike face.
Turning his eyes slightly, he found that his teacher Zhang Moxian was looking at him with a smile. His heart was shocked, and he walked over and prostrated himself on the ground.
"Disciple pays homage to teacher!"
Qin Hong and Wu Yu also bowed down together.
"Get up and follow me to meet Master Zhengfang and Master Ziyun."
Zhang Moxian smiled and asked the three of them to stand up.
Snapped!
"Hahaha~Uncle Master, I finally won this game!"
As soon as the three of them stood up, they heard the sound of a chess piece falling, and then the old man stood up and laughed loudly.
"If you win, go back quickly."
The young man playing chess with him waved his sleeve and the chessboard disappeared instantly.
Wang Li was stunned for a moment, and instantly realized that this handsome young man was Master Zhengfang. Qin Hong and Wu Yu were also a little dazed, but they quickly came back to their senses.
The three of them looked calm, and bowed again and kowtowed, saying: "Meet the master! Meet the uncle!"
The handsome young man nodded and smiled, raised his hand to let the three of them stand up, then reached out and grabbed a book, falling into his hand, and then raised his finger to point at Wang Li.
The book was opened immediately, and a ray of light flew out, fell on Wang Li and disappeared.
Then the handsome young man threw the book towards the giant cauldron, looked at the old man next to him, and said: "I have done what I should do, and now it is your business."
After saying that, the person walked towards a portal next to the main hall.
The old man with white hair and childlike face twisted his beard and remained silent. After Master Zhengfang disappeared, he said to Qin Hong and Wu Yuyan: "The two boys actually called me uncle! Didn't Junior Brother Wu ask you to become your master when he sent you here?"
The two of them were immediately overjoyed and kowtowed in unison: "Disciple pays homage to Master!"
The old man nodded slowly, turned his eyes to Wang Li, raised his hand, and a blue jade slip flew in front of Wang Li, and said: "I lost all my things to Uncle Zhengfang, so I have to give my nephew a lesson to ponder at his leisure.
The law has been decided.”
Wang Li glanced at the teacher, Zhang Moxian nodded with a smile on his face, then he accepted the jade slip generously, bowed and said, "Thank you, uncle."
The old man smiled and said: "Then I will take my disciple back first."
After finishing speaking, he greeted Qin Hong and Wu Yu and walked out of the hall.
Qin Hong and Wu Yu first saluted Zhang Moxian, then nodded to Wang Li before following Master Uncle Ziyun.
After a while, Zhang Moxian and Wang Li were the only ones left in the hall.
After a moment of silence, Wang Li saluted and said: "Teacher, there is a fire crow in the disciple's Zifu. It is the essence of Li Fire. I..."
"I know that."
Zhang Moxian looked at Wang Li and smiled and said, "What? Are you still refusing to come out? Do you want me to invite you?"
"Quack!"
Along with the cry of the crow, wisps of golden flames surged from the center of Wang Li's eyebrows, and in an instant it turned into a red fire crow. It flew to Wang Li's shoulder, opened his mouth, and uttered a human voice like a child, shouting: "This is
You are so happy! You ungrateful boy!"
After saying that, he looked at Zhang Moxian, but immediately lowered his head, "Let's do it! Anyway, I died once!"
Zhang Moxian was delighted when he heard this: "Ha~ You bird has inherited the shamelessness of that old Golden Crow."
After saying that, he raised his hand in vain. Wang Li was secretly cursing the crow. It could speak human language, but it kept croaking in his head. It was useless for him to think that this crow could only talk to him through spiritual consciousness.
comminicate.
Just when he was thinking about how to clean it up, his eyes blurred and he saw something floating out of thin air in the teacher's palm. It was bronze in color and looked like a small copper bell. It rotated slowly. Wang Li immediately felt the hall.
There was a breeze blowing in, but there was a faint warmth in my heart.
Fire Crow stiffened when the little bronze bell appeared. He looked at Zhang Moxian, vibrating his wings and wanted to take off, but he didn't dare to fly off Wang Li's shoulder.
Zhang Moxian dragged Xiao Zhong and said, "I can give you what you want, but you have to listen to my disciple."
When Huo Ya heard this, he immediately nodded his head: "Be obedient! Be obedient! I will obey him from now on!"
"Sure enough, he is as shameless as that old Jinwu~"
