At this time, Yue Dewen, with his drunken eyes and hazy eyes, looked at the bright moon in the sky and swayed while singing songs and operas.
He had a smile on his face, but inexplicably, the loneliness that had been lingering in his heart for many years emerged again like a shadow.
He thought of his dream lover. When she died in his arms, she still held his hand tremblingly and said, Yue Dewen, you bastard, why didn't you come to her earlier.
He thought of his second dream lover. She stood by the white jade railing of the palace with cold eyebrows and scolded him that if he didn't dare to steal the marriage, she would curse him for giving birth to a son in the future. Then she turned around and walked away.
He thought of his third dream girl...
the fourth....
the fifth.....
...
....
Until the last one.
Well, he lost count of how many there were.
Anyway, at this moment, he thought of many people. They were like flowers, gathered into a beautiful picture in his mind.
In the end, the picture turned into that one, the only face he had never seen before.
pity...
"Unfortunately, that is all in the past."
Recently, he has been feeling more and more mentally exhausted.
Since the last trip to Yuxu Palace, when he handed over everything to that crazy old lady, his uncle, he felt a lot relieved. He was very happy eating, drinking, and having all kinds of fun and entertainment every day.
The changes in the body now are expected.
This is destiny and cannot be resisted.
"With my final sacrifice, it is almost enough to bring about the true rise and glory of our religion. When the time comes, it will be enough to pave the way and stand on the platform for that kid Qiankun."
Before, he was worried that he would have no successors, and the crazy old woman and his uncle might not be able to handle it alone.
But now, the appearance of Daozi Zhang Ying has relieved his last worry.
'The situation has been a bit chaotic recently. When I come back, I'll find someone to support me first and go back to my hometown to recuperate. This time, I'll give Xiaozhi a good education again.'
With such calculations in mind, he staggered forward as if he were a wealthy man with no worries about food and clothing.
It's just that he didn't expect that there was a big net in the dark. This time it was not covering Zhang Ying and the Taoist Cult, but it was covering him.

A jet-black sparrowhawk fluttered its wings and swooped down.
Soon it fell gently into the depths of Yuxu Palace and stopped on the arm of a falconer.
The falconer quickly stuffed a piece of meat into it, and then skillfully removed a thick bamboo tube from the sparrowhawk's leg.
Without unblocking it, he quickly delivered the bamboo tube to a hut in the forest on one side.
In the hut, five mysterious men, all dressed in black and wearing silver masks whose faces could not be seen clearly, opened the bamboo tube and poured out a pile of love newspapers inside.
Then several people started screening one by one and sorting out the profiles.
The information surface here has an introduction and importance levels.
As time went by, suddenly one of them made a movement with his hand.
"Wait, is this!?" His eyes widened. He carefully checked the introduction content above again, and after confirming that he had read it correctly, he quickly sealed it back and checked the remaining related documents one by one.
"Sure enough..." This time the intelligence compiled a piece of information. That is about the true identity of Zhang Ying, the Taoist disciple of Tianbao Palace...
The man's eyes were solemn, and he quickly sealed all the information together. Then he made it into a scroll wrapped in yellow paper, got up and sent it outside.
No one opened the scroll all the way. Following the intelligence route in Yuxu Palace, it was quickly sent to Lingxiao Palace.
Inside the pure white palace.
Jin Yuyan was naked and lying on her back on the ground in the middle of the hall.
Her long black fringe-like hair covered her key parts, and the bright sunshine above shone through the golden beads, completely covering her.
"Palace Master." A cold female voice came from the door.
"I have the information you want about Zhang Yingdaozi."
In front of the door, there was a tall woman with a cool temperament and a solemn face, wearing a blue off-shoulder flower embroidered skirt, holding in her hand the intelligence scroll that had just been delivered.
"It's Xiaoyi... put it on the table over there."
Jin Yuyan slowly got up from the ground, sat on his knees and stretched his body.
"How is the new little guy doing? How is he doing?"
"Fortunately. The specific information is all gathered here, I haven't opened it yet." The woman in a blue dress named Xiaoyi replied.
"Actually, at the end of the day, Yue Dewen said that he has amazing qualifications. He may be able to worship God and become a spiritual general in the future, but that is just a possibility. None of us are as good as Xiao Yue in literary attainments. Who knows whether his words are true or false?"
Jin Yuyan lazily straightened her long hair. She actually didn't care much about Zhang Ying.
I was a little interested at the time because the other person's physical fitness seemed a little abnormal.
But it was just like that afterwards.
After all, no matter what kind of physical fitness, it cannot be compared with Lingluo.
The woman named Xiaoyi didn't say anything, she just bowed, turned around, stepped back, and left.
Jin Yuyan picked up the wine on the long table and took a few sips. Then he slowly came to the place where the scroll was stored, picked it up, and unfolded it.
"Huh?" Suddenly her beautiful eyes narrowed and her sword eyebrows frowned slightly.
"How can a little guy with a foreign medicine actually do so many things? He is considered capable. No wonder Xiaoyue values him so much."
Then, she continued going down and saw something.
"Zhang Ying...Zhang Rongfang?"
Suddenly her expression suddenly changed.

Zhang Rongfang sat in the suspended cable car and looked down.
Hundreds of meters high in the sky, there is a thin layer of clouds and mist below.
Clouds and mist cover the forest. Occasionally, you can see people playing flutes, practicing martial arts, and singing in the forest.
Some kind of unknown ballad with profound charm, with the mysterious and authentic Taoism, and a faint fairy spirit.
He withdrew his gaze and looked forward.
The outline of Lingxiao Palace in front gradually approaches and becomes clear.
A figure with fluttering white clothes was sitting at the top of the palace, just above the golden bead, with five hearts facing the sky, as if he was practicing meditation.
Zhang Rongfang quickly cleared away the distracting thoughts in his mind and prepared to concentrate on dealing with this difficult and weird uncle.
He came here this time as a second visit at the invitation of his master's uncle.
Although he didn't know why the other party was looking for him, he had to come when called by his elders, both emotionally and rationally.
Not long after, the cable car stopped in front of Lingxiao Palace Square.
Zhang Rongfang stood up, jumped lightly, and landed on the hard stone.
He bowed to his great-uncle from a distance, walked quickly to the palace gate, and looked up at his great-uncle Jin Yuyan.
Under the sunlight, the Taoist patriarch, who looked to be in his twenties, had his eyes half open and half closed, as if he had not noticed Zhang Rongfang's arrival at all.
Zhang Rongfang is not in a hurry and is waiting here quietly.
Time passes little by little.
ten minutes.
half an hour.
One hour.
Zhang Rongfang was not impatient at all and still stood where he was, motionless and tall.
And Jin Yuyan at the top of the palace finally made some movement.
With a soft clatter, she jumped up, fell lightly from the golden beads, and stood in the middle of the square behind Zhang Rongfang.
At this time, she was wearing a white dress. Her white jade-like skin and pure white dress complemented each other in the sunlight, and were also glowing with light fluorescence.
Her black hair spreads down to her waist, and the golden lotus crown on her head is inlaid with crystal red diamond-shaped gems.
A thin golden cloud-patterned belt on the waist is like the finishing touch, adding a touch of surprise in the plain white.
"Disciple, I have met my great uncle." Zhang Rongfang turned around and approached, saluting.
"Your master sent a letter." Jin Yuyan said coldly. "After today, our religion will truly return to the public eye. Do you know what will happen?"
"... I don't know, disciple." Zhang Rongfang shook his head. He didn't even know what the other person was talking about.
"It seems that Xiaoyue has protected you well." Jin Yuyan looked calm, "According to your master's request, in a few days, you will follow the governor to deal with the surrounding rebels, and it will open your eyes."
"The envoy of Zhenfu??"
"Shangguan Feihe, Ning Hongli, Shang Dingye, five days later, on the day of the Daling Royal Family's ceremony, I, Yuxu, will go to various places to suppress uprisings. You can accompany us and cooperate." Jin Yuyan ordered.
"....Yes." What else could Zhang Rongfang say? It seemed like this kind of thing had been decided long ago.
Fortunately, he has accumulated enough attribute points of the Golden Toad Skill in the past few days. Taking medicine is the next step. As long as he takes the elixir once, he can directly use the attribute points to forcibly improve it.
Anyway, this time I went with him, most likely to watch a show.
With a powerful man like Shangguan Feihe leading the team who dares to challenge the position of Palace Master, the opponent is most likely to be a top expert who is also in a high position among the Grand Masters.
The entire Great Spirit may be a strong man who can dominate one side. With such a master leading the team, the suppression operation must be a formality.
Now Zhang Rongfang has seen it
The dormant state of Taoism has finally begun to change.
After the fall of the East Sect, it seemed that the West Sect and Shinichi had the upper hand, fighting each other for the position of the No. 1 Sect.
In fact, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole stalks the cicada. The Taoist Sect has now completed its accumulation and is finally about to show its fangs.
"Then, tell me about you." Jin Yuyan's eyes fell on Zhang Rongfang at this time.
"I have read various records of your life in the past few days. When you were in Tanyang City, you did not have such a strong talent. After you entered the Golden Wing Tower, you began to show off your talent."
There was complexity, surprise, and expectation hidden in Jin Yuyan's eyes.
This was something we didn't have the last time we met.
"It's my teachings that are good." What else could Zhang Rongfang say?
"Haha, let's talk about it." Jin Yuyan gently stretched out her hand and rolled up a strand of hair in front of her. "Tell me, should I call you Zhang Rongfang or Zhang Ying?"
Zhang Rongfang's eyes suddenly shrank, and all the energy and blood in his body seemed to stop for a moment, freezing at this moment.
How can it be!?
How could she know her two identities!?
If Zhang Wuxu is found out, he can understand that there are Yuxu Palace spies everywhere in Qingchuan.
But the identities of Zhang Rongfang and Zhang Ying should be difficult to discover!
Why!
Why is this happening!?
Zhang Rongfang was silent.
After a long time, he bowed down.
Although there were huge waves in his heart, at this moment, he knew that he should be thankful that he had been willing to join the Taoist sect from the beginning to the end and had never done anything harmful to the sect.
From the bottom of his heart, he also recognized that he was a member of the Taoist religion.
Moreover, he never thought of hiding this secret forever, but it was suddenly discovered at this time, which caught him off guard.
"Junior, don't you understand what my uncle meant?"
"Don't understand? Do you think others can't see the traces of martial arts on your body?" Jin Yuyan sneered.
"Or do you think that if you rely on martial arts to change your appearance, no one will see your martial arts skills and investigate?"
"Of course." She changed the subject.
"Don't be afraid. I know it, but it's just because there are so many people. Zhenyi, Xizong, Qianjiao Alliance, Induction Sect, Counter Sect, Tiansuo Sect, where are the spies from my Yuxu Palace? Those things you did,
To put it all together, a smart person will make some inferences and naturally identify you as the biggest suspect.
Combined with your martial arts level at this time, it is not difficult to guess this."
"Can I ask...how did my uncle guess Zhang Rongfang's identity?"
Zhang Rongfang has settled down at this time, and even if the matter is known now, there is nothing he can do about it.
No wonder his great-uncle, who had treated him poorly before, immediately sought him out again.
"Because Zhang Rongfang learned the Hui Chun Jing Shi Talisman Talisman Technique at Qinghe Palace, and Zhang Ying learned the Talisman Technique at Tan Yang. Their types complement each other. This leads to suspicion." Jin Yuyan answered easily.
"..." Zhang Rongfang was speechless. He could notice such details, and after investigating, what else could he say?
"You are a little clever. You think that if others can't see you, what you do will be avoided by others." Jin Yuyan continued.
"But a lot of people don't even look at who did it and don't care what the cause is."
She slowly walked to Zhang Rongfang's side.
"I called you here today because I want you to understand that with your qualifications, don't always take action yourself and endanger yourself because you think you have some strength."
"Master, uncle, I understand what I mean." Zhang Rongfang understood the meaning.
"No... you don't understand." Jin Yuyan shook his head, "You have a good talent in martial arts. It's already quite impressive that you can reach the super level at such a young age. But unfortunately, you took the wrong path.
"
She turned around and stood with her hands behind her back.
"Today, I will tell you about what is above the super level and... what is a master, a great master."
