Xuanming sent Lin Ze all the way to a small town at the foot of the mountain, only to be persuaded by Lin Ze to return to the Dao Palace with an extremely firm tone.
Before leaving, Lin Ze sent Shao Siming to pick up the horses entrusted to the local Black Guards stronghold, and privately told Xuan Mingdao: "Please, Elder Xuanming, be sure to rush back to the Dao Palace within two days."
Xuan Ming looked puzzled and said, "Why do you have to rush back to the Dao Palace within two days?"
Lin Ze said with a smile on his face: "Elder, please don't ask so many questions. Just know that there is a surprise. By the way, elder, please give the palace master a message. Just say that the box containing the palace protection formation chart is left for him."
Write a letter and tell him that the letter must not be seen by anyone except you and him."
Xuan Ming felt confused. Why should he leave a letter instead of saying it face to face? But no matter how he asked, Lin Ze just smiled and said nothing.
Xuan Ming was helpless and planned to go back quickly to find out.
As soon as Xuan Ming left, Shao Siming came with two good horses. Seeing Lin Ze alone, he couldn't help but ask: "Is Xuan Ming gone?"
Lin Ze tied the baggage firmly on the horse's back, got on the horse and said: "Let's go, it's time for us to go back to Chang'an. Come on, drive." After saying that, he galloped away.
When Shao Siming heard the word Chang'an, his brother's figure automatically flashed in his mind, and he chased after him excitedly.
…
In the Dao Palace, after Xuan Ming told Shouzheng what Lin Ze had told him, Shouzheng decisively opened the box containing the diagram of the palace protection formation, rummaged through it carefully, and sure enough found a letter on the mezzanine.
Shouzheng opened it and saw that it read: Palace Master Shouzheng personally initiated a function of the Dao Palace Protection Formation before leaving, and made slight modifications. Three days later, the Dao Palace Protection Formation
The palace formation will undergo a huge change.
And since then, the Dao Palace will change every other month. I have written all the entry and exit methods and subsequent changes at the back of the letter. In addition, the palace owner must not disclose this matter.
According to my observation, even though some of the corruption of the Tao Palace formation is due to long-term failure, most of it was deliberately destroyed by others. There must be a traitor in the Tao Palace. I do not want to participate in the internal disputes in the Tao Palace, so I chose to leave a letter to inform you.
Please forgive me.
Lin Ze pays homage.
Shouzheng looked gloomy after reading it and handed the letter to Xuanming.
Xuan Ming's face was also extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Traitors deserve to die, Palace Master, this matter must be thoroughly investigated."
Shouzheng said in a cold tone: "Check? What else should we check? Apart from the elders responsible for maintaining the formation, who else can come into contact with the formation for a long time and secretly destroy it. In my opinion, they all deserve to die."
"It's just that it's not appropriate to alert others. Elder Xuanming, please investigate secretly and find out the mastermind behind the scenes. I would like to see who has such a deep grudge against our Dao Palace and wants to destroy the eternal foundation of our Dao Palace.
"
"Once it is found out, I will definitely let him know what the grandmaster's anger is?"
Xuan Ming clasped his fists and promised, "I will obey the Lord's decree."
…
About three days later, Lin Ze, who had galloped for hundreds of miles, suddenly stopped his horse by a river. He turned around and looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance. He sighed secretly: "I have exhausted all my benevolence and righteousness. Can the Taoist Palace escape?"
It depends on whether you are lucky or not."
Seeing this, Shao Siming stopped and asked strangely: "Lin Ze, why did you stop so suddenly?"
Lin Ze pointed at a blueback fish about three feet long that was splashing in the river and said, "Suddenly I want to eat fish. How about we take a rest by the river before setting off?"
There was a glimmer of light at the corner of Shao Siming's mouth, he clapped his little hands and said, "Okay."
Lin Ze turned over and dismounted, picked up a stone, his true energy flowed, and with a slight turn of his wrist, the stone accurately hit the head of the blue-backed fish. The blue-backed fish turned white after being hit hard.
Lin Ze took off his shoes and socks in a very bachelor manner, dragged up the blueback fish, which weighed at least 80 kilograms, disembowelled it, removed the internal organs, smeared it with white salt and spices, and marinated it.
I picked up some more firewood and grilled the big fish carefully.
Suddenly there was a burst of applause, and a figure appeared not far away. While clapping his hands, he praised: "The sage is really in a good mood. The fish is grilled by the river. The smell will greatly increase your appetite."
Lin Ze stood up from the ground, held the sword hilt in his hand, and sighed: "We meet each other everywhere in life, but I didn't expect to meet Elder Tongde here. We haven't seen him for a few days, but the elder's style is still the same."
Seeing Lin Ze being disturbed by Tongde, Shao Siming didn't even bother to grill the fish. He looked like a fried furry cat and said fiercely to Tongde: "Get out of here, or I will kill you if you don't."
Tongde's expression froze, and he waved his hand quickly: "Miss, don't be nervous, I'm not an enemy."
Shao Siming turned a deaf ear and said to Lin Ze: "You can grill the fish in peace. If he dares to move, I will kill him immediately."
Lin Ze was slightly startled, and then went to grill the fish with peace of mind. Young Siming had said so, and he was still nervous. If she couldn't defeat Tongde, then it would be useless to replace him.
Seeing that Shao Siming didn't believe him, Tongde immediately made a gesture and whispered: "Under Da Siming, secret guard Twenty-Eight Stars Kuimu Lang, pays homage to Miss Shao Siming."
Shao Siming tilted his head and asked, "Are you my brother's keeper?"
Tongde nodded repeatedly and said: "Under the orders of the great commander, my subordinates lurked in the Tao Palace and acted according to the opportunity. I received the news from the great commander some time ago and cooperated with the young lady and this sage to steal the palace protection formation of the Tao Palace.
I wonder if Miss has obtained the formation map?"
Shao Siming turned to look at Lin Ze, as if asking: Is there such a thing?
Lin Ze seemed not to have seen it, but his heart was filled with excitement. No wonder he could obtain the formation map so easily. This Tongde was indeed a secret agent under Emperor Qin, but why was he suddenly exposed?
When Tongde saw Shao Siming's performance, he immediately guessed that the formation diagram should be on Lin Ze, and his thoughts started to wander. However, he did not even think that he had hit the formation diagram by mistake. Lin Ze did have the formation diagram.
, but just keep it in mind.
Before Shao Siming could ask, Lin Ze smiled at her and said, "The fish has been grilled, come over and eat first. Since Elder Tongde is one of our own, let's come over and eat some too."
Shao Siming immediately forgot about other things, ran to Lin Ze, tore off the fish tail, and ate it carefully.
Tongde ignored Lin Ze's actions and pressed in front of Lin Ze: "Where is the formation diagram? Is it on you? Give it to me quickly."
When he said this, Tongde glanced at Shao Siming carefully, and when he saw that she was indifferent, he became more and more wanton.
Lin Ze pointed to the grilled fish in his hand and said, "Elder Tongde, why are you in such a hurry? Let's eat something first and talk about other things later."
Tongde said with disdain: "Do I care about your grilled fish? I asked you to hand over the formation diagram, didn't you hear? What a bullshit sage, he is just a fifth-level person, how can he be qualified to be here?
When negotiating the price in front of me, I will ask you whether you want to pay or not?"
Seeing that Shao Siming still didn't respond, Tongde became even more presumptuous.
Lin Ze's face turned completely cold. This Tongde might have an abnormal mentality, and his motivation for asking for the formation diagram might be unusual.
Seeing Lin Ze's face, Tongde smiled sarcastically and said, "Why, you are called a sage and you don't even know your last name, so you still want to fight with me?"
Lin Ze put the grilled fish down, smiled slightly and said, "Don't you just want the formation map? I'll give it to you right now." After saying that, he took it from his arms.
Tongde laughed and said: "You know the truth. By the way, I will hand over the treasure you deceived from the Dao Palace later. I will only take 80%."
After speaking, he walked up to Lin Ze and stretched out his hand to pick it up.
Lin Ze handed a volume of silk book to Tongde and silently recited: "War against the sky."
As soon as Tongde's hand grasped the silk book, he saw a cold light flashing through him. He quickly raised his energy and said disdainfully: "You are only a fifth-grade person, but you still dare to fight with me. You really don't know how to live or die. I am standing here, what are you doing?"
Are you moving? You..."
Before he finished speaking, Tongde felt that all his strength was passing away. He looked down and saw a long sword passing through his heart. He said in disbelief: "God, a magic weapon?"
Lin Ze withdrew the Tianwen Sword and said indifferently: "It is a magical weapon. As a secret agent, you are careless and arrogant. I really don't know how you survived, but you provoked me.
He should be dead now."
After speaking, he drew out the Tianwen Sword, and Tongde fell in front of Lin Ze with his eyes wide open.
A fierce look flashed across Lin Ze's face, he chopped off Tongde's head with a sword, and kicked his headband and body into the river.
I remember a senior said that if you cut off the head, you will be dead. Lin Ze didn't mind doing it safer.
Young Siming, who was eating fish, was surprised and said: "Lin Ze, why did you accept and kill your brother?"
Lin Ze said calmly: "This person came out for no reason and said that he was a subordinate of Da Siming. It is too suspicious. I heard that he is wanted by the Dao Palace. Maybe he came to frame us on purpose. For your sake and mine
It's safe, if he dies, he dies. Don't think too much, come, have some more grilled fish." After that, he handed over a piece of grilled fish.
Shao Siming said "Oh", took the grilled fish and continued eating, as if nothing happened just now.
Lin Ze could probably guess why Tongde couldn't wait to get the formation diagram from his hand. It should be the task given to him by the commander. He wanted to use the formation diagram to receive the merit, but unfortunately, his brain was a little bit weak.
So, if you don’t even take the fifth grade like yourself seriously, who will die if you don’t die?
