The Song Kingdom is the easternmost country among the seven kingdoms in the world. Three major forces control the national destiny of the Song Kingdom, namely the Lingxiao Pavilion, the Blood Temple, and the Split Heaven Palace. There is also a larger force that is more transcendent, and it is the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate!
It's not that the Wanshou Sect doesn't want to control the Song Dynasty, but the three major sects such as Lingxiao Pavilion don't allow it. Fortunately, the Wanshou Sect has strong financial resources and can obtain enough training resources without relying on others.
The Spirit Beast Meeting is a grand event held by the Ten Thousand Beast Sect every ten years. The purpose is to show the newly domesticated spirit beasts of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect to the spiritual world in the past ten years and pave the way for the official launch of the sale.
At such a grand event, some people came to cheer for the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, while others came to watch the excitement and gain insights.
At this time, Wanxiang City at the foot of Wanshoumen Mountain will gradually become lively.
Wanxiang City is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court in the area of Wanshou Sect. It has its own rules and is usually very deserted. Only the secular people under Wanshou Sect live there. For example, the descendants of the disciples of the sect thrive here.
At this time, guests from all over the world come, and these secular people open the door to do business, which can be regarded as welcoming guests from all over the world. As for the real distinguished guests, the Wanshou Sect has its own separate courtyard to entertain guests.
The reason why it is called Vientiane City is because there are many sculptures standing in the city. They are all birds and beasts from the "Record of Alien Beasts". They are scattered all over the city and are more lifelike than those on the map.
These sculptures are also displayed to outside guests, or for guests to compare and refer to. After all, there is a gap between the pictures on the map and the real objects, and people who are not familiar with it are easy to be mistaken. Wanshou Sect specially built these sculptures for this purpose. A sect.
His power is limited, so he hopes to use the power of monks from all over the world to trap rare birds and animals for breeding.
If anyone finds a strange bird or animal that corresponds to the sculpture and gives it to the Wan Beast Sect, the Wan Beast Sect will definitely reward him heavily.
Although the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect uses this as a means to expand the financial resources of the sect, from a certain perspective, some exotic birds and animals that were about to become extinct are also the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect that have expanded their populations and avoided extinction...
On the streets of Vientiane City, Niu Youdao and his party, who had just arrived, sat on horseback and looked around, looking at the sculptures standing in the city. It was strange to see this kind of city for the first time.
"Master Dao, someone is watching us from behind." Yuan Gang approached Niu Youdao on horseback and warned in a low voice.
Niu Youdao, who was slowly swinging on the horse's back, remained calm and did not look back. He believed in Yuan Gang's investigative vision. Since Yuan Gang said there was someone following him, there must be someone there. There was no need to doubt him. He asked casually: "What's going on?
?”
Yuan Gang: "I don't know. He followed us as soon as we entered the city. He has been following us and made no other moves."
Niu Youdao didn't say anything else, pretending that nothing had happened. He just tilted his head and motioned to Guan Fangyi, "Check out the situation."
Guan Fangyi nodded slightly and gestured left and right.
When the street turned a corner, Uncle Chen and Xu Laoliu took the opportunity to break away from the group and turned into an alley.
Not long after, Xu Laoliu ran over to catch up with Niu Youdao and reported: "Master Dao, the man is under control."
Niu Youdao turned his mount around smoothly, and the group turned around and returned to the alley. They saw Uncle Chen pressing a hand on a person's shoulder, making that person unable to move.
Niu Youdao drove his horse forward and stopped. He sat on the horse and pointed his whip condescendingly. Uncle Chen immediately tore off the disguise on the man's face.
After seeing the man's true face, Yuan Gang was stunned for a moment, while Niu Youdao's brows moved.
The person who was controlled was none other than Wei Duo of the Shangqing Sect.
"What are you doing here?" Niu Youdao asked in a deep voice.
Wei Duo whined twice and was restrained, unable to answer.
Niu Youdao said to Chen Bo: "It's okay, just untie it!"
Uncle Chen unlocked Wei Duo's restraints and let go.
Wei Duo immediately raised his hands and saluted, "Palm..." Halfway through his words, he thought that Niu Youdao hated him calling him the leader, so he immediately changed his words, "Tao... Master Dao!"
Niu Youdao asked: "What are you doing here?"
Wei Duo: "Looking for you!"
Niu Youdao raised his brows, moved his mouth slightly, glanced at Guan Fangyi and others behind him, swallowed what he said, turned his mount, and coldly said, "Get out!"
Just like that, the group walked out of the alley again, leaving Wei Duo alone.
Guan Fangyi stepped forward on his horse and asked doubtfully: "Who is it?"
Niu Youdao didn't answer, and reined in his horse again. Guan Fangyi followed his gaze and looked forward, only to see a graceful woman leading a few people in front of him.
Just like Wei Duo, these people were obviously wearing masks and were none other than Tang Yi and others from the Shangqing Sect.
Wei Duo, who came out of the alley, stood behind the cavalry and nodded to Tang Yi and others in front, indicating that it was Niu Youdao and the others.
Because Niu Youdao and others also disguised themselves.
After the Shangqing Sect's men rushed to Wanxiang City, they expected that Niu Youdao would definitely settle in Wanxiang City, so they immediately sent out their men, either looking for or waiting for help in Wanxiang City. By chance, Wei Duo bumped into Niu Youdao and his party. .
Others may not recognize him, but Wei Duo knew Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang, especially Yuan Gang's handsome figure. Wei Duo recognized him at a glance, and immediately asked his fellow disciples to report to Tang Yi and others, while he followed. That's how the scene unfolded in front of me.
Niu Youdao on horseback looked back at Wei Duo's reaction, then looked back at the people in front of him, and gradually made a judgment from the figures of Tang Yi and others, and realized that they were the Shangqing Sect's group. people.
Guan Fangyi put her hand quietly into her sleeve and held the talisman.
Uncle Chen and others all grasped the weapons in their hands, not knowing who was blocking the way. Although there were rules of the Wanshou Sect in Wanxiang City, no one could guarantee whether there would be any accidents.
The people in Fufangyuan could not tell that the blockers were Shangqingzong and others who had a dispute with Niu Youdao, so they naturally maintained a high degree of vigilance.
Tang Yi obviously saw something was wrong. He raised his hand slightly and walked aside to avoid any misunderstanding.
The people from the Shangqing Sect also gave way to the side.
Niu Youdao tapped the horse's belly with his heels, without squinting his eyes, and led a group of people to pass in front of Shangqingzong and others without haste.
Wei Duo, Tang Yi and others met together, and then followed Niu Youdao and others.
The people in Fufangyuan felt that the situation in front of them was a bit strange, and they looked back from time to time to look at the people following them.
"Who is it?" Guan Fangyi rode up, approached Niu Youdao and asked.
Niu Youdao remained silent, and Guan Fangyi rolled her eyes, knowing that if this guy didn't say anything, he wouldn't be able to tell anything if he asked immediately.
The group stopped at an inn and checked in.
Not far away, a man with the same disguise stood under the eaves of a roof, staring at Tang Yi and others who had followed them into the inn, his eyes flickering with doubts.
This person is none other than Lu Shengzhong sent by Shao Pingbo.
He traced the route of Tang Yi and others all the way to Vientiane City, and followed the area where Tang Yi and others settled, so he knew very well who Tang Yi and others were after the disguise.
As soon as Tang Yi and others left the inn, he kept an eye on them again, and found that Tang Yi and Niu Youdao and others met.
Like Wei Duo, he had come into contact with Niu Youdao and Yuan Gang before, and recognized Yuan Gang at a glance, and then judged that the leader was Niu Youdao.
This surprised him. He didn't expect that Tang Yi went straight here to find Niu Youdao.
Lu Shengzhong was afraid of Niu Youdao, knowing that his methods were not weaker than that of the eldest son. In addition, he had heard some of Niu Youdao's deeds in recent years, which made him even more afraid, knowing that this man was an extremely dangerous person.
character, so I had to be very careful, otherwise I would accidentally fall into the opponent's hands.
How did he follow Shao Pingbo? He knew that it was a betrayal of his master and Niu Youdao, which was no different from surrendering to the enemy. Once he fell into Niu Youdao's hands, one could imagine what would happen...
In the hotel corridor, the waiter opened the door and accompanied Niu Youdao into the room.
Not long after the waiter left the room after being diligent, Xu Laoliu knocked on the door and came in, reporting: "Master Dao, someone is looking for him, claiming to be the head of the Shangqing Sect!" As he said this, he secretly looked at Niu Youdao's reaction.
He had heard some of the legends about Niu Youdao and the head of the Shangqing Sect.
Guan Fangyi, who was looking around in the room, was stunned. She slowly turned back to look at Niu Youdao. She was a little surprised, her bright eyes flickered, and her mouth gradually turned evil. She had heard about the relationship between Niu Youdao and the woman from the Shangqing Sect for a long time, and she had always been curious. Unexpectedly,
He's actually here, and I really want to see what kind of person he is this time.
The sword in his hand was slowly struck on the floor, and Niu Youdao said a lukewarm "hmm".
Xu Laoliu went out immediately and quickly brought three people in, Tang Yi, Luo Yuangong and Su Po. As for Tang Susu, she didn't come. She didn't want to see Niu Youdao. Tang Yi and others were also afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle bad things, so they asked Tang Susu to
Stay and take charge.
The three of them looked at Niu Youdao's signature way of standing with a sword and pestle. Tang Yi took the lead and took off the skin on his face, revealing his beautiful face. He looked at Niu Youdao with his bright eyes, and went to Niu Youdao's side with his bright eyes.
Guan Fangyi glanced at him a few times.
Luo Yuangong and Su Po followed suit and gradually took off the disguises on their faces.
Seeing Niu Youdao again, the two of them had extremely complicated emotions. They no longer had the mentality of facing the junior disciples as elders in the past, and their condescending aura was gone.
Unexpectedly, she is still a beauty! Guan Fangyi murmured in her heart, subconsciously folded her arms in front of her chest, and looked at Tang Yi up and down, looking slightly picky.
Niu Youdao said calmly: "I haven't seen you three for a long time. I didn't expect to meet here. I wonder what you are looking for?"
The three people across from him all heard that his voice, which was slightly young at the time, had become mature, matched his demeanor, and became more elegant.
Before he could wait for Niu Youdao to reveal his true face, Tang Yi could only answer: "After all, you are still a disciple of the Shangqing Sect. Come back! For you, the position of the leader will be vacant at any time."
As soon as he heard this, Niu Youdao felt disgusted in his heart. He naturally knew why he pulled him back. Shang Qingzong couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to pull him back to stand up for him. He immediately refused politely and said: "I have already made it clear.
It’s clear that I have nothing to do with the Shangqing Sect. It’s all over and there’s no need to mention it again. Is there anything else?”
Tang Yi: "Don't you miss Master Dongguo's kindness at all?"
Niu Youdao raised his sword and turned around, with the sword hitting the ground again, and waved his back to his big sleeves, "Matchmaker, help me see off my guests!"
Being treated like this, Tang Yi also realized that it seemed that he had acted too hastily. Faced with Guan Fangyi's forced farewell, he did not resist and had to leave temporarily.
There was no one else in the room for the time being. Niu Youdao looked sideways at Yuan Gang, "Contact Beizhou and ask them when they left Beizhou."
Having followed Niu Youdao for many years, Yuan Gang immediately noticed something from his words. The group came to hide in secret, but were blocked by the Shangqing Sect. This had aroused the suspicion of the Taoist master, and he understood that the Taoist priest had just deliberately diverted the money.
