Long Niu was surprised and said: "There is indeed such a person, could it be..."
Sha Lingshan said with a smile: "This Li Xiu'er is one of ours. She has been in our Jinghua Shuiyue Pavilion since she was old enough to understand things. She is very talented at such a young age."
"Over the years, she has gradually emerged as a prominent figure beside Li Badao with her intelligence and talent, and has also attracted many 'young talents' to join. Currently, they are planning to kill Li Badao at the hands of the barbarian army. They are raising troops to take revenge, accepting Li Badao's achievements, and at the same time ordering everyone to 'share the same hatred for the enemy' and strengthen their strength.
"I just sent someone to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to ask Li Xiuer to stop as soon as possible."
Long Niu said: "This..."
Sha Lingshan looked at Long Niu and asked, "Is Li Badao loyal to the Black Lotus Realm?"
Long Niu pondered and said, "He is loyal at present, but he is an outer disciple after all. He is very ambitious. If he really becomes the leader in the future and thinks he doesn't need us, it will be hard to say."
Sha Ling fanned and said, "In that case, let Li Xiuer stay by his side, helping him and monitoring him. If he really has any ulterior motives, then we can take action. I will give you the way to contact her. When the time comes, you can send someone you trust to contact her. If there is anything, just give her orders."
Chapter 186 Wuxia Thunderclouds, Covering the Sun and the Sky
Shi Hao was secretly amazed, thinking that it was truly worthy of being called the Demonic Sect.
An eleven-year-old girl turned out to be a pawn planted by the Demon Sect. It was really hard to guard against.
From Long Niu, he began to understand the important situations in various places at the moment.
In fact, it was pretty much as he had originally expected. Riots broke out everywhere, and although the barbarian army was just a small insect, they only cared about the beginning and not the end.
At present, the barbarian army is mainly suppressing the uprisings in the provinces of Fuli, Qinbei, Nibei and Liaoyang.
As for the two major provinces in the south, Chuyin and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they were somewhat unable to cope with the situation. It was precisely because of this that the uprising in the south became more and more fierce, and the various rebel forces were in good momentum.
Shu has never been the focus of an uprising and is much quieter than other provinces. As for Lingnan, although it is among the eight provinces divided by the Barbarian Court, the Barbarian Court's control over Lingnan has always been relatively loose, even almost non-existent.
Because of Sheng Menghui, the situation in Chuyin suddenly became chaotic, and the Manting had, to a certain extent, given up on Chuyin.
The uprising in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces seems to be in full swing at the moment, but no matter how good the momentum is, it is not easy to fight from south to north. If we really want to expel the barbarians, we still need to rely on the development of the northern rebel army.
Meanwhile, the various anti-barbarian forces in the north were still in a state of chaos. Although this caused great distress to the Barbarian court, it did not cause any serious damage to the court.
After Long Niu left, Shi Hao looked at Sha Lingshan and said, "By the way, I haven't congratulated the altar master on his promotion to the fourth rank yet."
Sha Lingshan smiled and said, "If it weren't for the young master, I would still be stuck at the fifth level and would not be able to make any progress. I was able to advance this time because of the young master's support."
After a pause, he continued, "Next, Young Master, do you plan to go to Wu Gorge to take a look?"
Shi Hao nodded and said, "Yes, I am worried about Yue Jiao, so I am going to Wu Gorge."
Sha Lingshan said: "Then I will go and prepare for the recruitment. Please allow me to accompany the young master on the journey tomorrow
Shi Hao said: "Okay!"
At that moment, Sha Lingshan took Madam Plum Blossom and Madam Peach Blossom away.
The Emerald Beauty still stayed, kneeling on the table and saying, "Young Master!"
Shi Hao asked: "Is the time up?"
The Emerald Beauty said embarrassedly, "Thank you for your help, young master."
Shi Hao smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. By the way, I will also call you Little Jade like Master, okay?"
The Emerald Beauty said, "It's all up to the young master's orders."
Shi Hao said: "In this case, Little Jade, let's get started now."
The young master is a man, and little Feicui is actually a little resistant in her heart. If she could choose, she still wants the master to do it.
But the master is still in Yuanshi Cave Heaven, and her soul in the puppet is gradually showing signs of dispersing. Without the young master's help, she may not be able to hold on until the full moon night.
She had no choice but to undress helplessly and shyly, close her legs and lie on the table.
Although it was just a rag doll, it was really exquisitely made and extremely lifelike. Being a man, Shi Hao found it difficult to handle it.
However, this is also what Madam Su Xi specifically told us before leaving Yuanshi Cave Heaven, and it must not be neglected.
At that moment, he held the rag doll in the palm of his left hand, and used his right hand's fingers to stroke little Feicui's body, from her face to her pink neck, and from her small chest all the way down.
After a while, the little jadeite began to make an irrepressible and wonderful sound.
Although it was obvious that she was trying very hard to hold it back, she was ultimately unable to do so, and after a short while, the sound became like a trickle, continuous and uninterrupted.
Shi Hao thought, so the Butterfly Flower Finger is also effective on her
In the early morning of the next day, Shi Hao, lying on the couch, opened his eyes.
There was fog outside the window, and the candles on the tall copper lampstand on the edge of the collapse had been extinguished. The glass lamp on the table was covered with a layer of silk cloth, blocking the light from the night-blooming grass.
Little Jade curled up her little body and slept in his arms.
At the end of last night, little Feicui was lying there, twisting and crying, "I'm sorry, Master." She felt like a young lady who wanted to maintain her chastity mentally but couldn't bear the physical pleasure.
He couldn't help but wonder if he was cheating on his master's wife.
And isn’t little Feicui really too sensitive
Although I was forced to use the Butterfly Flower Finger, but in the final analysis, I was only helping you to stabilize your spirit, right
Why do you make me feel like I broke something of yours
When she got up in the morning, little Feicui carefully put on her colorful feathered dress again, still looking shy.
After washing and eating something, Madam Meihua came to report: "Young Master, Yingzhao and others are ready."
Shi Hao nodded, changed into new clothes, picked up little Feicui, and went outside.
Four Yingzhao were prepared outside. Yingzhao was difficult to tame, and the Barbarian Court also had strict control over them. It was unknown how they had obtained these four Yingzhao.
Sha Ling Shan held a round fan in her hand and stepped out with lotus steps: "Young Master!"
Shi Hao said, "Sha Altar Master!" After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "If we are outside, it would not be nice to call you Altar Master. If Sha Altar Master does not mind, I will call you Sister."
Sha Lingshan bowed with the fan in hand: "Oh! How dare I accept this?"
Shi Hao smiled and said, "Sister Sha's rank and martial arts are both higher than mine, so I am actually marrying above my station! Besides, this will be more convenient when we are away from home."
Sha Ling fanned herself and said, "In that case, I will respectfully obey your command!"
At that moment, they took Madam Plum Blossom and Madam Peach Blossom and boarded the Yingzhao.
The four Yingzhao flew up together and headed for Wu Gorge.
Along the way, Shi Hao and Sha Lingshan chatted and laughed, Little Feicui sat in front of him, and Madam Plum Blossom and Madam Peach Blossom followed behind them.
The Qinling Mountains are the watershed between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.
Wu Gorge is one of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.
Flying eastward from the Qinling Mountains, the weather was getting colder and colder, and it was probably unbearable for ordinary people to ride on the Yingzhao.
They are people who practice martial arts, so naturally it is no problem for them.
Looking down from a high place, one can see that the country is in ruins and the people are living in misery.
There were fleeing refugees everywhere, and barbarian soldiers were searching everywhere, even going into the mountains to capture them. The men they captured were sent to do hard labor, and no one knew where the women were sent.
There were also farmers harvesting wheat in the fields, shackled and harvesting wheat under the supervision of the barbarian army.
At the same time, there are many manors that are magnificently built, equipped with a large number of strange stones and pavilions, which can be compared to fairy mirrors on earth.
After the Wushan Gorge is closed, Bashu becomes one family.
Wu Gorge is located in the east of Bashan Mountain. It is said that "there are more than twelve beautiful peaks, but millions of scattered peaks". Here, peaks are connected to peaks, gorges are connected to gorges, and because of the short sunshine hours, the moisture in the gorges does not dissipate, forming clouds and fog with various shapes and forms.
The saying "The Twelve Peaks of Wushan are all in the blue sky" is because the clouds and mist in this area surge all year round and never dissipate. Looking from the ground, the Twelve Peaks of Wushan appear and disappear as if they are all above the clouds.
They traveled for more than a day and approached Wushan... There were mountains everywhere along the way, with high peaks and deep ravines. If they hadn't relied on Yingzhao to fly directly, they would never have been able to get there so fast.
Of course, if you travel by water and rely on boats, it is another matter.
There is a saying that goes "The monkeys on both sides of the river are crying incessantly, while the light boat has already passed through ten thousand mountains", which is also referring to this area.
From the information obtained from Longniu, we learned that Yuejiao, Hou Boming, Xianggu, and the mysterious girl traveled by boat.
There are twelve peaks in Wu Gorge, six on the south bank and six on the north bank.
The six peaks on the south bank are Feifeng, Cuiping, Juhe, Jingtan, Qiyun and Shengshang.
The six peaks on the north bank are Denglong, Shengquan, Chaoyun, Shennv, Songluan and Jixian.
There is a women's temple at the foot of Denglong Peak, called Ningzhen Temple. Because it enshrines Yaoji, the goddess who helped Dayu control floods in legend, it is called "Goddess Temple" by the local people.
Because it is a women's temple, the people inside it are naturally all female Taoist priests who practice asceticism.
But no one knows that these female Taoist priests are not actually practicing "Taoism."
This is a stronghold in the Black Lotus Territory.
The Chongxian Sect considers itself to be the orthodox Taoist sect in the world. Naturally, a female temple in a remote mountain area like this one is considered a "side sect". However, there are so many side sects that the Chongxian Sect cannot control them all.
The belief in the goddess has a long history in Wushan area, and there are more than just one "Goddess Temple". There are more than 20 to 30 such temples in Wushan area, which are as common as the "Land Goddess Temple" outside.
As long as a goddess is worshipped, whether it is a temple or a Taoist temple, it will be called the goddess temple by the people. It is also a custom.
For the common people at the bottom of society, they cannot distinguish what is authentic, what is unorthodox, what is an obscene temple, and what is a wild sacrifice.
Their emotions are simple. According to legend, the goddess protects them, so in their hearts, the goddess is an omnipotent fairy.
They don’t understand the so-called Three Pure Ones, and in their minds they don’t see anything as great as the goddess.
Four Yingzhao flew to the foot of Denglong Peak.
Looking up, I saw thunderclouds surging in the sky, and lightning bolts were flashing through the clouds one after another.
"Is the weather in Wu Gorge like this?" Shi Hao asked in surprise, holding the little Feicui in his arms.
Sha Lingshan shook her head and said, "Clouds are common in the Wu Gorge area, but thunderclouds like these are extremely rare in the past, especially at this time of year. It feels a little unusual."
The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. In summer, rolling thunderclouds and roaring rain showers are nothing big. However, in this weather where there should be continuous autumn rain, there are layers of thunderclouds, which is indeed abnormal.
Madam Plum Blossom and Madam Peach Blossom also found it strange. Madam Peach Blossom said, "I have been to Wu Gorge many times in the past, but I have never seen weather like this."
Madam Meihua said, "The thunderclouds are endless, covering the sun and the sky, as if they have covered all the hills here, big and small. This kind of weather has never been seen anywhere else."
The four Yingzhaos seemed a little panicked. They flew lower and lower, and finally landed in the mountains, and refused to fly again.
It seemed as if the thunderclouds surging high up in the sky exuded an ominous aura that made them fearful.
With no other choice, they had to get off Ying Zhao's back and lead Ying Zhao towards Ningzhen Temple.
Chapter 187 The Goddess in the Clouds
When we arrived at Ningzhen Temple, we found that this Taoist temple had been built a long time ago and looked quite old. Although there were signs of renovation in some places, it was far from comparable to the magnificent Taoist temples in big cities.
After Shi Hao changed his appearance through the Evil Shadow Disguise Technique, he took Ying Zhao into the Taoist temple.
A Taoist nun came to ask for greetings and said, "Are you here to burn incense at our temple, or do you want to stay overnight? If you want to stay overnight, our temple does not accept male guests. We have our own house at the foot of the mountain, which can provide you with a homestay."
Sha Ling fanned and said in a gentle voice: "We will neither burn incense nor stay overnight."
The Taoist nun asked, "Why did you come?"
Sha Lingshan said, "We are here to enjoy the sunrise. We want to see the sunrise tomorrow."
The Taoist nun said, "I've only heard of people coming to Wu Gorge to watch the clouds, but I've never heard of people coming here to watch the sunrise. This place is obscured by clouds and fog, so it's not a good place to watch the sunrise."
Sha Ling fanned herself and said, "It is because of the clouds and fog that we can't see anything clearly that we have to come here to see it. It would be boring if we could see it clearly, but it would be interesting if we can't see it clearly."
The Taoist nun said, "Please follow me."
However, he did not let them enter the main hall directly. Instead, he went around to the back garden and called two old women to help them take Yingzhao away and settle him down.
Shi Hao looked around and saw that there were quite a lot of Taoist nuns here, but most of them were old or ugly. Occasionally there were two ordinary ones, which was considered pretty good here.
Of course, this is also a matter of course. Although this is one of the bases of the Black Lotus Realm, it is not a big city. Those who are truly capable will not be placed in such a place.
In addition, placing something too beautiful here can easily attract bees and butterflies and cause unnecessary trouble.
They were taken to a side hall, and soon a middle-aged Taoist nun came in, holding a whisk, wearing a lilac Taoist robe and a Maoxi hairpin on her head.
She knelt down and bowed to Shi Hao and Sha Lingshan who were sitting at the table, "Young Master and Sha Altar Master? Your subordinate Yuan Rong is here to pay his respects!"
Shi Hao said: "Stand up and talk!
Yuan Rong stood up.
Sha Lingshan beside him asked, "How are you guys doing with the investigation?"
