Whether it is the two characters "Sky master" or the purple robe, they are enough to indicate that the old man in Yunjin Mountain has a special position.
I hesitated for a moment, raised my hands in a gesture of salute, and said, "Disciple Luo Xian Shen, I have come to meet the Celestial Master of Yunjin Mountain."
Yesterday, I agreed to meet Zhang Si Li at the Zong Huang Taoist Temple for a chat. When discussing with Lao Gong, I also mentioned that as long as there are no Level 3 practitioners, the Zong Huang Taoist Temple cannot keep me or do anything to me.
But I didn't expect that... there is actually a real person here.
The meaning of the tipsy old man is not in the wine...
Yunjin Mountain should not know about Tian Gongquan's message on me.
What do they want?
How do they intend to resolve the issues concerning the Luo family and various Taoist temples, in other words, the conflict between us and Yunjin Mountain?
What established benefits do they want to obtain from me?
I suddenly thought of a series of actions of Juqu Mountain, apart from Mao Yi, the true master of Juqu Mountain, Mao Si, wants to leave me here.
Would Yunjin Mountain have the same idea?
At this moment, I realized that Tian Shou Daoren, who wanted to adopt me as a disciple on the first meeting, had other intentions.
Mao San, who always wanted to buy me over.
He Wei Tian's concerns are not mentioned, even for Zheng Ren, he wants to change his own situation by gaining my support.
Adding high Daoist Temple and high Daoist person, who wants to treat me as a vessel.
All these things form a circle, and my destiny is reduced to this extent?
What if I were a real person from another temple, facing a talented disciple who was expelled, would I still interfere and take the disciple into my fold?
The answer is yes.
After thinking all this through, I feel much more composed.
Switching allegiances is definitely not possible. Yunjin Mountain's attitude is much better than that of Juqu Mountain. The probability of being coerced by them is low. If this true person insists on forcing me, I can tell him the location of Tian Gongquan, and I will naturally be able to leave safely.
The purple-robed Daoist raised his hand slightly and moved his palm.
Zhang Si smiled at me, then left the side hall.
Suddenly, the spacious side hall was left with only me and the purple-robed Daoist alone.
"Luo Xian Shen, who is about twenty-one or two years old, has made a name for himself. It's not simple."
The tone of his voice was older than that of any true person I have ever met, as if it came from the twilight years of a fading candle.
"It's an exaggeration, Master," I slowly walked to the center of the temple grounds and then walked towards the door of the side hall.
"Ha ha, you seem like a natural Daoist, with no paths walked in the process. In a short period of time, you have easily passed through the sky without much effort. This is not an exaggeration but rather an intended outcome."
The purple-robed true person stood up and turned around.
He is really too old. His long eyebrows, two pencils, hang down. Especially his long beard, almost reaching his chest. The wrinkled skin, the marks of time, the Daoist skills and strength cannot hide it.
However, his eyes remain bright and intelligent.
"I am Tang Wu, known as the Zhusiang Daoist in the Yin-Yang realm. My disciples call me Master."
"Disciple Luo Xian Shen has seen the Zhusiang Daoist." I raised my hands in salute once again, bowing deeply.
Tang Wu looked deeply at me and caressed his long beard with a faint smile, "You are indeed humble and polite, different from the rumors that you are digging graves and tumbs, you don't have his savage nature."
I remained silent, ready for Tang Wu to get to the point.
"I saw you was just a coincidence. This Zong Huang Daoist Temple is under the jurisdiction of Yunjin Mountain, the Guikentan in Dasheng City has always been a difficult place to deal with. The trouble with Guikentan lies in that no one knows where their headquarters are located. Even if you eliminate a branch, it will soon spring up like wild grass again. Recently, Zhang Si reported to Yunjin Mountain that the behavior of this Guikentan in Dasheng City was strange and suspiciously indicated that their headquarters had moved here. I had just arrived in Dasheng to take action when I heard thunder roaring. Although the range wasn't very large, it was still clear that it was from people from SiGuShan."
Tang Wu is still beating around the bush, maintaining a peaceful demeanor.
I remain silent, humble, and don't interrupt at all.
"Each large Daoist Temple does not exceed the actions, so I was wondering which powerful yet rule-breaking disciple is currently taking justice into their own hands. Ha ha, young master of SiGuShan, he is not bad."
"I saw you because there is something else I want to ask you to agree to."
Finally, Tang Wu has entered the main topic!
I was fully prepared to refuse.
Tang Wu finally said, "I once had a daughter who disappeared in Jin Yang many years ago. Since then, she has been without a trace for all these years."
"I know that he had once made a binding with a master, a Daoist. The Daoist who bound with him was the grand master of SiGuShan, He You Tian, haha, also your eldest brother, Luo Xian Shen."
At this moment, I was taken aback.
Different from what I expected?
Wasn't it to recruit me?
Suddenly, I felt a fine rash of goosebumps on my face.
Tang Wu's words...
Surname Tang, Yunjin Mountain, missing daughter, binding...
Is it that his daughter is Tang You?
"This time, an 'Ancestral Master' from Yunjin Mountain visited us and paid respects to SiGuShan. When he returned, he brought a message from He YouTian. He said that Tang You's soul had been found and that she had been dead for many years. The one who killed her was the man they had made a binding with, Song Fang. However, Song Fang has been using ghosts to cause trouble, being elusive like a phantom. He will eventually kill Song Fang to avenge Tang You."
"And the one who found Tang You's body and sewed her remains back together is Luo Xian Shen. He hopes that this matter will put an end to the grudge between the Luo family and Yunjin Mountain. Moreover, he promises to help us find scattered artifacts, heritage, or stolen remains from Yunjin Mountain together."
Tang Wu's voice was very calm.
However, I know that beneath his calm tone, there must be a heart that is about to break.
He You Tian was in love with Tang You.
This Tang Wu is Tang You's father!
The hatred for killing the daughter is something that cannot be shared under the same sky!
If Tang Wu knew the circumstances of Tang You's death, he would likely be even more heartbroken.
"Luo Xian Shen, the grudge between Yunjin Mountain and your Luo family can be put aside. I thank you for helping me repair my daughter's remains. She died in a pitiful state, and without you by her side, it is likely that He You Tian would have only brought back her dismembered body, leaving her without the dignity of a proper burial."
Tang Wu bowed deeply towards me.
This bow made me feel extremely anxious and respectful, so I quickly stepped aside.
"Zhusiang Daoist, your words are too generous. Disciple Luo Xian Shen cannot accept your respect."
I dodged to the side, and Tang Wu only then straightened up.
I finally understood that He You Tian must have told everyone what happened. Perhaps this Tang Wu has been bleeding in his heart all along?
"During these days, the situation in Jin Yang has not been good. I asked the disciples under my door to find out more information, and also learned some from SiGuShan themselves. The entire Jin Yang is now shrouded in ghostly air due to the presence of plague ghosts. SiGuShan's own problems have prevented them from taking action against the plague ghosts."
"Then Song Fang is in Jin Yang."
"By a coincidence, I met you. Are you willing to take me into Jin Yang and visit the place where Song Fang used to be? You should also have offended Song Fang. If you go alone, he may appear."
"Can you act as bait to help me bring him out? It's safe to go to Jin Yang these days. Previously, Juqu Mountain also notified Yunjin Mountain to be cautious of plague ghosts, they had been invaded by plague ghosts, and still hadn't caught that ghost. It can be judged that he's not yet in the nest in Jin Yang."
"You can rest assured, Master is by your side. Song Fang cannot kill you, and even if the plague ghost returns, he won't be able to kill you either. If we encounter each other face to face, I, the old man, will lose some of my life force to help you capture the plague ghost. Although he has occupied the body of a true person, he still doesn't have the power to confront a true person directly. Your great achievement back to SiGuShan will be very beneficial for you. Both from strength and from the way you acted that day, you should be a disciple of SiGuShan and more so a successor of a true person!"
Tang Wu's words made my heart race again, and my breath felt stuck!
