The one who spoke was an old man in the middle. He looked to be eighty or ninety years old. He had a sallow complexion, his eyes were slightly closed, and his white hair was a little messy. He was wearing a yellow robe, with half of his hair coiled on top of his head and the other half falling on his head.
Behind your back, hold your hands together and place them on your pubic area.
Behind the old man, a pillar as big as a gong and drum stood tall. Next to the pillar was a crutch with a large gourd hanging on it.
As Zhuge walked, he saluted the old man sitting there. It took him more than ten minutes to walk all the way.
"master…".
Zhuge walked up to the old man who was speaking, immediately knelt on the ground and shouted respectfully.
Hearing the sound, the old man seemed to wake up from a deep sleep. His body shook, and a layer of white ash was bounced off his clothes.
Then the old man slowly opened his eyes. His cloudy eyes were without any disturbance, just like an ordinary person.
"Zhuge, what do you mean?"
The old man spoke faintly, his voice a little hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, and as if he had no emotion at all.
"Xiao Yu, the descendant of Maoshan, has come to the alliance today. He has a Taoist treasure on his body, which is related to the prosperity and decline of the Taoist sect, so I came here to ask for advice."
Zhuge was still kneeling on the ground and asked with a respectful voice.
"The most precious treasure of Taoism? Get up and speak."
The old man's eyes lit up, he stretched out his hand, and Zhuge immediately sat up uncontrollably.
Zhuge bowed his hands and bowed, then looked around, whispered what happened to Xiao Yu, and then looked at him.
After hearing this, the old man's expression changed again and again, and even the other old men next to him couldn't help but open their eyes.
"The Taoist artifact is indeed the Taoist treasure, but since it belongs to Xiao Yu, it belongs to Xiao Yu. As for other things, it is his luck that Xiao Yu gets it. We cannot interfere."
After pondering for a moment, the old man said in a deep voice, and then looked at the two old women next to him.
"What do you think?"
The two old women next to them looked very old. The deep wrinkles on their faces had turned dark, like knife carvings, and their hair was spread on their heads like withered grass.
"The other party not only has Taoist weapons, Yin Yang Peach Wood Sword, but also has the protection of the Ghost King. Such a person must not be a mortal. Could it be that he is a child of those hidden families in China?"
An old woman frowned.
"It's very possible that those hidden clans often let their disciples go out to make trouble. How can there be people from Maoshan in this hidden clan?"
Zhuge knelt next to him, listening to the stories of several old men, and remained silent!
Although he is the leader of the Exorcism Alliance, he is just a junior here because the people sitting here are all former leaders, so he is like a child here.
After listening to the old woman's words, the old man looked at Zhuge again, "Zhuge, do you know Xiao Yu's origin?"
"Disciples have investigated clearly. Xiao Yu came from a place called Shimo Village in Gan Province. Both parents are disabled. Xiao Yu's grandfather is called Xiao Shi, who is the head of Maoshan. After Xiao Shi died, Xiao Yu inherited Xiao
Shi's mantle, now he is the head of Maoshan."
"Head of Maoshan?"
Several old men looked at each other, and then did not speak. After a while, Zhuge's master said, "In this case, he must not be from the Yin tribe. I never expected that such a junior could appear. It is really a blessing for China."
Master Zhuge sighed with emotion, and then asked, "Zhuge, you came to me not just for this matter, right?"
"Yes, after the disciple met Xiao Yu, he saw his destiny, but the destiny was vague and could not be seen clearly, so I came to ask the master if he wanted to check whether Xiao Yu was the person of destiny."
"Destiny?"
The old man chuckled, and then said, "No, since you can't see through it, it means that Xiao Yu's fate is determined by God, so we don't have to bother to check. You just need to promote him. As for other things, you can take care of it."
.
"Also, Elder Long's Yang life has declined, and new people are needed to take over the fortune pillar. Please be careful, it is estimated that there will still be six years."
After the old man finished speaking, he closed his eyes. The other two old women also shook their heads, then closed their eyes slightly and said nothing.
Upon seeing this, Zhuge bowed to several old men and then slowly withdrew.
The underground hall became quiet again, with only the surrounding bright crystals emitting a faint white light.
Zhuge appeared in the library again, took out a few books and left. After exiting the attic, he reached out and slapped a stone lion on the head. The stone lion immediately spun around. Originally, its head was facing the stone door, but now its butt is facing the stone door.
The moment the stone lion turned its head, as if some formation had been touched, the library slowly became blurry, and finally disappeared. The place where the library used to be was empty, and the ground was full of weeds and gravel.
After Xiao Yu returned to the hotel, he chatted with his parents for a while, then went to find Lao Bai and told him that he was going to Antique Street tomorrow to visit the old man Zhizha and thank him for his life-saving grace.
In another hotel in Beijing, several Taoist priests of different ages were gathering together, holding red wine glasses in their hands and changing glasses.
"Daochang Liu, are you sure you want to take a gamble?"
A middle-aged Taoist asked with a joking smile on his face.
"Yes, I want to make a bet. I heard that the Taoist from Maoshan is only more than 20 years old. Such a treasure is in his hands. It is a secret investment. If I get it, I will be even more powerful."
The young Taoist shook his wine glass and said excitedly.
As for the other Taoist next to him, he shook his head, "Although Taoist Maoshan is young, he is still a member of the alliance, and the alliance leader has banned you from causing trouble to Taoist Maoshan. If you do this, you will not be afraid of being punished by the alliance."
?”
"Punishment is punishment, don't be afraid, even if it is a hundred punishments, as long as you can get the treasure, it will be worth it."
There was no fear on the young Taoist's face, and he still looked eager to try.
"Okay, if Daochang Liu is brave, then we two brothers will help you together, but the reward...".
The middle-aged Taoist rubbed his fingers and made a gesture of counting money.
"Hehe, of course. As long as you help me, I will definitely give you the money. Wealth can be found in danger. I heard that Taoist Maoshan is going to sea to find a woman. I have already started to prepare a ship. At that time, my brothers will need a lot of help.
".
The young Taoist looked confident, and after finishing speaking, he continued, "It's not enough for just a few of us, so I will contact some Taoists who are not in the alliance, as well as some killers, and ask them to come on board with us. We must succeed this time."
.
The young Taoist had a somewhat crazy look on his face, and the two middle-aged men, although they were also smiling in apology, did so unnaturally, with a hint of mockery deep in their eyes.
The news that Xiao Yu possessed Taoist tools swept through the alliance like a strong wind. Even some foreign missionaries knew about it. At the same time, monks, Taoists, and Western missionaries began to prepare.
In the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Yu's trip to the sea is the best opportunity. As long as he goes to the sea, human life becomes despicable. No matter you are a noble son or a bureaucratic family, if you fall into the sea, you will be dead in less than an hour.
