Nanfeng stared in shock, "What are you doing in Shangxuan Hall?"
"Someone wants to see you." The Taoist priest said.
Seeing that Nanfeng still wanted to ask, Minister Sun pulled him towards the sink nearby, "Don't ask any more questions. Wash your hands quickly and follow Master Lingkang."
Nanfeng washed his hands in the sink, wiped them on his clothes, and followed up with Lingkangzi who was already heading towards the east gate.
Sun Shishi caught up from behind and put a hat on Nanfeng's head. Nanfeng didn't like wearing hats and hadn't worn them since he got used to it.
This hat was not Nanfeng's. It was a bit big and covered his eyes. Nanfeng held the hat back and followed Lingkangzi out of the east gate.
There is a mountain road leading to Yangpo from the east gate. This road has been driven by Nanfeng many times. Half a stick of incense can lead to Yangpo. He has to take the opportunity to think about what the people in Shangxuan Palace are looking for him.
Just as he was about to ask a question, Lingkangzi spoke first, "Have you done anything bad recently?"
Before Nanfeng could answer, Lingkangzi shook his head and denied his question, "No, even if he did something bad, he should be dealt with by the Lucha Palace."
As soon as Lingkangzi said it, Nanfeng knew it, but Lingkangzi was also confused.
Since Lingkangzi didn't know the whole story, he could only guess for himself that Shangxuan Hall was where Zhenren Ziqi lived. He had never even met the people there, so there would be no interaction at all. The other party could only come to him because of What happened before was either the message he made up, or it was related to Tian Yuanzi.
His original fabrication of "there is a black dog in the Dongcheng Inn" was not just a lie. Tian Yuanzi took him to find a piece of tortoise shell from that inn that day. If the Taiqing Sect sent people there based on his message, they would definitely find some clues. , they were able to find out based on the clues left at the scene that the shop owner and his family were killed by the government at the instruction of Long Yunzi. In addition, Long Yunzi was holding the Yuqing Dharma Conference under the banner of the Heavenly Book at that time, and the Taiqing Sect would He guessed that what was hidden in the inn was the Book of Heaven, and that the Book of Heaven had been taken away by Long Yunzi.
In this way, the blame fell on the unlucky Long Yunzi, and he cleared the air. The people of Taiqing Sect would think that his words were correct, but that he was late and his things were taken away by others.
If it was really because of this matter, the people in Shangxuan Palace called him over this time just to ask for some details, and they could easily fool him.
What he was most worried about was another possibility. If the people from Shangxuan Palace came to him to ask about Tian Yuanzi, that would be dangerous, because he told Tian Chengzi that he had only met Tian Yuanzi once, but in fact He had been with Tian Yuanzi for more than half a month. Although Tian Yuanzi sat in the car most of the time, they were together when they stayed in the hotel. If the people of Taiqing Sect discovered this, they would know that he had lied.
Thinking of this, Nanfeng became nervous. If the second situation was true, it would be difficult to handle and it would be difficult to tell the lie.
Just as Nanfeng was thinking about countermeasures, Lingkangzi spoke again, "Nanfeng, do you recognize the real person Tianqi?"
"I've met him once." Nanfeng replied. Tianqizi was the short Taoist who killed the water monster that day.
"What is he looking for you for?" Lingkangzi was also confused.
"I don't know." Nanfeng said casually.
A Ziqi Zhenren would not summon a handyman for no reason. Lingkangzi was very curious about this matter. Then he asked some questions about where he had seen him and Nanfeng's origins. Nanfeng wanted to deal with Lingkangzi. He had to think of ways to lie and do two things at once, but he couldn't figure out a way to deal with it until he reached his destination.
This is not the meeting hall of Shangxuan Hall, but an independent courtyard located to the east of Yangpo. When the two arrived, Tian Chengzi was standing at the door.
"Lingkang, you go back first, don't talk about this to others." Tianchengzi told Lingkangzi.
"Yes, uncle." Lingkangzi bowed in response, turned and left.
"You come with me." Tian Chengzi stepped forward.
Nanfeng followed Tian Chengzi into the door. He was very nervous at this time and had no intention of paying attention to the things in the courtyard. Tian Chengzi's tone and expression were very serious, which showed that they were likely to conduct severe interrogation and interrogation of him next.
This courtyard also has a front and back yard. After walking through the alley to the back yard, Tian Chengzi opened the door of the main room. Nan Feng looked up and saw a lot of people sitting in the room, at least eight or nine, mostly seasoned Taoists. There were several middle-aged Taoists.
"Go in." Tian Chengzi said.
Nanfeng stepped forward nervously, lowered his head and entered the house.
There was a sound of the door closing behind him, "I'll go guard the door."
"Junior brother Tiancheng, you also stay." One of the veterans said in a deep voice.
Tian Chengzi came in, turned around and closed the door.
There is an offering table to the north of the room. There are incense burners and other objects on the table. A portrait of the founder of Taiqing is hung on the north wall. There are two seats on both sides of the table. At this time, both seats are empty. Everyone in the room is Sit on the seats on the left and right sides of the south side of the altar table.
Tian Chengzi sat down from the bottom position. The others were probably all Ziqi Zhenren who had cultivated above the mountains, but he was not the only one.
Nan Feng stood at the door with his head lowered. Sweat appeared on his forehead due to his nervousness, and he even forgot to salute everyone.
The room was very quiet, so quiet that no one spoke for a long time. Nanfeng didn't dare to raise his head, and he didn't know what everyone's expression was.
Finally someone spoke up, "I have a few questions to ask you, and you should answer them truthfully."
Nan Feng raised his head slightly and found that the person speaking was Tian Qi Zi whom he had met before.
"Okay." Nanfeng nodded nervously.
"Do you know Tian Yuanzi?" Tian Qizi asked.
Nanfeng didn't answer immediately. His brain reaction slowed down due to nervousness, and he was thinking about how to answer.
"Say." Tianqizi raised his voice.
Nan Feng was startled and said, "I know you."
After saying this, Nanfeng regretted it. The first sentence revealed his secret. He said before that he had only met the blind man once, but Tianqizi asked about Tian Yuanzi. He said he knew him, which means he knew who the blind man was before he came here. .
"Tell me the truth about how you met Junior Brother Tianyuan and how you separated from him." Tianqizi asked in a deep voice.
Nanfeng didn't answer. Everyone present was smarter than him. Even if he made up a lie, the other party would be able to see through it. Rather than lie, it would be better not to tell it at all.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Tianqizi urged him again, but Nanfeng still didn't speak.
Tianqizi's temper was very bad. He asked Nanfeng twice but didn't answer. He was very angry, "You think I can't do anything to you if you don't speak?"
"Don't be impatient." The old man sitting on the left raised his hand to Tian Qizi.
The old man said harmoniously to Nan Feng again, "Child, we will not hurt you. We are here just to ask you something, which is very important to us."
Nan Feng raised his head and glanced at the old man. Although he had a kind face and a friendly address, he did not trust him. Lin Zhendong was also very kind to him at the beginning and even gave him chicken legs to eat. But people who look like good people are not necessarily good people.
"Is Junior Brother Tianyuan gone?" the old Taoist asked.
"I don't know." Nanfeng answered happily this time, but this happiness clearly meant that I know but I won't tell you.
The old Taoist sighed, "Even if you didn't tell us, we would have guessed that Junior Brother Tianyuan has already spread his martial arts from Qiping Mountain."
Nanfeng raised his head and looked at the old Taoist who was talking. He didn't know the name of the place where Tian Yuanzi practiced martial arts, but what the old Taoist said about practicing martial arts was correct.
The old Taoist said again, "We already know that you have been following Junior Brother Tianyuan. Were you nearby when he was doing his exercises?"
Nanfeng had overcome his inner fear at this time. He almost met the King of Hell several times along the way, so he had nothing to be afraid of. "I know Master Tianyuan. I was also nearby when he was doing his exercises. Lin Zhendong wants you to According to the scriptures of Taiqing Sect, Master Tianyuan is blind and cannot defeat him, so he can only use his power to die with him."
"What a thief!" Tianqizi left his seat angrily, "It's so despicable to take advantage of others' danger. Even if you die, you won't be relieved. I will set off immediately to kill all the remaining evildoers of Qinglong."
"Tianqizi, be careful of your anger." The old Taoist said in a deep voice.
Tianqizi took a deep breath and sat down again.
"My child, why did you come all the way to Taiqing Mountain to find Xuanzhen?" the old Taoist asked again.
Nan Feng tilted his head and did not answer.
"What a dull wilted melon, you tell me." Tianqizi urged.
"Junior brother, if you keep doing this, I'll kick you out." An elderly Taoist nun on the right side glanced at Tianqizi.
"I just wanted to go out and get some fresh air." Tianqizi stood up from his seat, opened the door and went out, "I'm going out to relax, don't look for me these days."
The old Taoist frowned when he heard this, and winked at the person sitting in the south seat, "Stop him, he is going to Jiangbei to cause trouble."
The man immediately left his seat and chased after him.
"Who are you and what do you want to do?" Nanfeng asked proactively. The secret has been exposed and there is nothing to be afraid of.
The old Taoist did not hesitate and immediately introduced, "Principal Tian Dezi, this is Master Tianjiao, this is Master Tianfei, this is Master Tiangeng, this is Master Tianxiang, this is Master Tianxing, and this This one is Master Tianchi, this one is Master Tiancheng, and the two who are out are Master Tianqi and Master Tianshu. We serve in the Seven Halls, and we all have secular positions."
Nanfeng didn't expect that the other party would answer in such detail. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Tian Dezi seemed to be the leader of this group. He did not answer Nanfeng's question, but said, "We are the senior brothers and sisters of Junior Brother Tianyuan, and also his friends."
Nanfeng didn't answer. What Tian Dezi said should be the truth. Tian Qizi learned that Lin Zhendong killed Tian Yuanzi, and his anger was definitely not fake. But the Book of Heaven is too important, and he dare not trust others easily.
"Tell us the truth. Junior Brother Tianyuan asked you to come here to find Uncle Xuanzhen. Did he come to deliver the message, or did he want you to come here to learn skills?" asked another Taoist.
Because the old Taoist introduced it too quickly, Nanfeng could not remember so many Taoist names, but the other party's question surprised him. Why did the other party think that Tian Yuanzi would send him to learn the art
At this moment, Tian Shuzi persuaded Tian Qizi to come back. Tian Qizi was impatient and said, "Let's not talk in circles with him. Let me ask you, has Junior Brother Tianyuan taught you the nine scriptures?"
"What?" Nanfeng was stunned.
Although Nanfeng was smart, he was still young and could not express his emotions and anger. Everyone saw the clues in his expression, and everyone showed a look of joy.
"Don't be too happy too early. Junior Brother Tianyuan is very strict about the sect's rules and I'm afraid he won't make any exceptions." Tian Dezi stood up and left his seat and walked closer to Nanfeng. "My child, do you know how to read the Xuanzhen Sutra?"
Nanfeng still didn't answer. He couldn't figure out why the other party didn't mention anything about the Turtle Shell Heavenly Book, but instead cared so much about the Taixuan Scripture.
Everyone was well-informed and bright-eyed, but Nanfeng's expression still could not escape their observation. Some people even cried with joy out of surprise.
Tian Dezi let out a sigh of relief and said, "The ancestor has a spirit, and he is not too clear..."
