Tao Wenxiang is a rare gold elixir female crown. At this level, the scenery is naturally beautiful. When she goes out, the emperor will salute her, and the heads of all Taoist temples will face each other with the courtesy of a guest.
But a problem that came with it was that she was already in her thirties, and she was almost forty and hadn't married yet. Older girls hate to marry you, do you understand? However, the ancestors with higher cultivation levels than her have grandchildren, and the Jindan priests of the same level as her also have wives and concubines. Above Jindan, the elders who are older than her are all married. There is no way.
There are not many Taoist priests younger than her left. In the eyes of Wang Junmao and others, Tao Wenxiang is an aunt or an elder, and their eyes are fixed on the young, beautiful, youthful and lovely junior sister. Among the true disciples, only Huai Mengde has admiration for her.
If it was before, Huai Mengde was an ordinary Taoist priest in the monastery, even if it was the illegitimate son of Deacon Sun, it would not be within the scope of her choice of a spouse.
But the situation is different now, Huai Mengde is a true disciple, and he can be promoted to Jindan within three years at the latest. At that time, no matter in terms of status, cultivation or future, he will be better than Tao Wenxiang, so he will be Tao Wenxiang's priority.
After following Huai Mengde for a while, Tao Wenxiang became more and more satisfied with Huai Mengde. He has a good character, is shrewd in dealing with things, and is very popular, not to mention his talent in cultivation. The most rare thing is that young and beautiful women such as Tai Wenqian and An Rulan surrounded him, but he actually kept his body like a jade and was not tempted.
In the eyes of Tao Wenxiang, who is proud and arrogant, and only wants to be a couple for the rest of his life, he is a good candidate who is rare in a century.
If she is willing to serve a man with a group of women, she is already married.
However, after arriving in Haijin, she discovered a terrible crisis. Huai Mengde actually fell in love with Yu Qingyao, and was willing to give up her life to stay and fight against tens of thousands of mermaids attacking the city because of her.
She didn't understand how Huai Mengde suddenly fell in love with Yu Qingyao, the two had clearly never met each other before.
Li Huaide brought her here today mainly because he felt that Tao Wenxiang was a woman, and with her around, Yu Qingyao would be less wary. He always remembered one thing, when his junior sister played Li Cangyue, there were no other female crowns present, and he refused to meet other male Taoist priests.
Secondly, although Tao Wenxiang is a bit arrogant, she is quite tactful in dealing with others. Usually in the team, he is often full of peacemakers to ease the active atmosphere. In case Yu Qingyao loses his temper, Tao Wenxiang can smooth things over. He also counted on Tao Wenxiang to make friends with Yu Qingyao and say good things for him.
Seeing Li Huaide's reaction, Tao Wenxiang felt angry in her heart, and said with a smile, "My lord, you have seen this scene. She doesn't have time to come out to play now. If you have something important, we will send someone to fly over to ask her to come out. That's easier. Or you can send her a Messenger privately, that's fine too."
Li Huaide thought for a while, sighed, and said, "Forget it, let's go back first and talk about it at noon."
He was thinking that at noon, Yu Qingyao would always have a meal and rest, so he would invite her out for a meal then.
Tao Wenxiang squinted her eyes, and understood that Li Huaide had nothing to do with Yu Qingyao, he just wanted to ask her out.
She pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go back first. We don't know if the sea monster will come, the city wall needs to be strengthened, the army needs to be reorganized, the sea patrol needs to be strengthened, and the fishing village needs to send Taoists to clean it up. There are so many things to do!"
She is tactfully accusing Mr. Huai, you have a lot of important things to do, don't just focus on Yu Qingyao.
Fan Zinan said from the side: "Yes, Wang Junmao and the others have returned to the mountain, and I don't know if Guanli will send reinforcements."
Li Huaide nodded, and went back to the Taoist monastery to work.
The matter of strengthening the city wall can be handed over to the local government for supervision. The matter of reorganizing the army is handed over to the deacons of the monastery and the generals in the city. Due to the tragic death of villagers in the coastal fishing village, if you don't hurry up to clean it up, there will be many ghosts in a few days, which can make Master Gui send Taoists there.
Li Huaide's main concern is two things. One is to intensify the search at sea and send more Taoists to search farther to see if the sharks have withdrawn.
The second is to contact the inner courtyard of Pingtian Temple. In order to prevent the mermaids from making a comeback, it is best to invite reinforcements. Furthermore, he saved Haijin City. Of course he has to take credit for such a great contribution.
The four true disciples were present, and the other three escaped. Only Huai Mengde stayed to defend the city, and most importantly, he managed to defend it. No matter what he did, at least he saved the city under his auspices, and no one can take away the credit.
Withstanding the attack of tens of thousands of monsters and keeping the city, the news spread, coupled with Deacon Sun's operation, Huai Mengde will become a hero in the view of peace.
This is extremely beneficial for him to consolidate his identity as a true disciple. He has such a reputation as a hero, Pingtian Temple is embarrassed to take away his status as a true disciple? If he does not make the mistake of deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors, his position will be unshakable.
This is also extremely beneficial for him to continue climbing.
Everyone would think that in times of crisis, only heroes like Huai Mengde are reliable, right
In comparison, the three of Wang Junmao were greatly paled.
Xiao Zhengchu and Jian Guangxi went directly to Jiping Daoist Temple to ask the ancestor for help.
Patriarch Zuo was on rest again. He met Xiao Jian and the two of them. He was very depressed when he heard about it. Why would something big happen to me as soon as I rest.
He thought: Tens of thousands of sea monsters? Launch a tsunami to attack Haijin? Hold the grass, how many people are there in Haijin? If a tsunami comes, I'm afraid people will die. I'm going now, it's too late, should I collect their bodies
There are so many monsters, it's useless for me to go alone. No one knows what is going on with the sharks. If they have a demon king, I will die if I go and besieged by tens of thousands of monsters. This matter needs to be considered in the long term.
Thinking of this, he sent a letter to the other two ancestors, telling them about it and asking for their opinions.
His meaning is very simple, if I want to go, I can’t go alone, everyone should go together.
After receiving the news, the two ancestors of Gu Liang left the underground palace in shock.
The three ancestors all had a headache and were discussing whether to go. Sun Guanzhu of Pingtian Temple sent a flying letter, hoping that the ancestors could go back to the mountain and lead a team to Haijin to have a look. They don’t want to kill all the sea monsters, at least they want to drive back the sea Demon, prevent them from going ashore.
The three ancestors discussed for a while and decided to make a move together. As soon as they left Jiping City, they received a second flying letter from Guanzhu Sun.
I heard that Huai Mengde presided over the defense of the city and successfully repelled the first attack of the Kraken, and the Kraken turned to massacre the coastal villages.
The three ancestors breathed a sigh of relief.
They immediately felt that those sea monsters were just little monsters, but the number was frighteningly large, nothing serious.
Patriarch Zuo immediately said: "It seems to be all right, I don't think we need to go anymore."
Liang Patriarch frowned and said, "Isn't it good not to go?"
Patriarch Gu said: "Old Liang, you have worked so hard, I will forget it, and I will go back to the underground palace."
Patriarch Liang immediately became unhappy, and said, "It's Lao Zuo who is on duty outside, so he should make a trip to this matter."
Patriarch Zuo was not happy either, and said, "I came out to rest, not to suffer. Mr. Gu just finished his rest, so why not take a walk, just to relax."
