Chapter 536: Is there any gossip that people like to hear?
At midnight.
Outside Liangshui Town, on a wide avenue.
Taoist Priest Xuanqing was holding a Golden Crow Lamp, which was a magical instrument. It did not do much harm and was mainly used to dispel evil spirits in addition to providing illumination.
With the help of this lamp, they were not attacked by any evil spirits along the way, even when they passed by a mass grave.
Subsequently.
Taoist Priest Xuanqing turned his head and glanced at the Wang family members on the back of the white lion. Even though it was midnight, they did not look sleepy at all. Instead, they were full of worry. He said:
"Brother Wang, we are just ahead!"
"Master, where are we now?"
Wang Lin asked.
He was not worried that Taoist Xuanqing would harm their family's lives.
Not to mention that he has known Taoist Master Xuanqing for several decades. Taoist Master Xuanqing has settled in Hutou Mountain for many years. Taoist Master Xuanqing's character is well-known.
For example, Taoist Master Xuanqing, in order to ensure the safety of his family, traveled thousands of miles to the capital, broke into the Prime Minister's residence, and lost twenty years of his life.
Under all circumstances, Taoist Xuanqing would never harm their lives.
Taoist Priest Xuanqing seemed to have thought of something, and said with a complicated expression: "Liangshui Town is where I grew up!"
"So you are from Liangshui Town, Taoist Priest!"
Wang Lin thought about it and roughly figured out where Liangshui Town was. It was also in Fengyin County, but not in Qingyang County. It was in Xiang County, a medium-sized county where spiritual elephants appeared.
Taoist Xuanqing muttered to himself: "Yes, if I hadn't suddenly remembered it this time, I would have almost forgotten that I am from Liangshui Town!"
Wang Lin could tell that Taoist Xuanqing's tone was not right. It was obvious that there was probably something sad that he didn't want to talk about. He changed the subject and said,
"Master, you asked Master Luo to go to the county city to invite Captain Lu to come down, but you sneaked my family here. Aren't you afraid that Master Luo and Captain Lu will misunderstand that you are playing a trick on them?"
"Brother Wang, you don't have to worry about this. Before I left, I left a letter at your house, explaining the situation in detail. I didn't say anything except that I would take your family to Liangshui Town. I think both Mr. Luo and Captain Lu would understand!"
Taoist Xuanqing responded.
Liu Dongzhu interrupted, "Master, you brought us to where you grew up. Aren't you afraid that others will find this place by following the clues?"
She knew that Taoist Xuanqing was not a rash person. She believed that Taoist Xuanqing must have his own reasons for bringing her family to the hometown where he grew up. However, she remembered what Taoist Xuanqing had said not long ago.
It is said that with the power of the Prime Minister's daughter, there are almost no secrets that can be hidden from her in the entire Daxia.
Their family suddenly disappeared from Hutougou. It is impossible for that vicious woman not to track them down. If she can't find them, she can look for them through their interpersonal relationships.
It is impossible not to know the relationship between Taoist Xuanqing and their family.
natural.
I will find Taoist Xuanqing’s hometown as soon as possible!
"Dong Zhu, you don't have to worry about this. No one knows about my hometown except my master and my senior sister!"
Taoist Xuanqing smiled and said, "Unless the Prime Minister sets out in person, it is impossible for a mere daughter of the Prime Minister to find my hometown!"
He didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed. When he learned that he would go to the famous Zi Yang Palace for further studies, he didn't know how happy and proud he was.
He thought he was a favored child of heaven and a man of the hour! Unfortunately, not long after, when he arrived at Ziyang Palace, he clearly understood a cruel thing.
He is neither a child of destiny nor a prominent figure; he is just an ordinary practitioner.
It was just that his first master who adopted him was once a disciple of Zi Yang Palace, which was why he was able to recommend him to practice in Zi Yang Palace.
During the time he practiced in Zi Yang Palace, he had few friends.
It’s not that he is a loner and unwilling to communicate with others, but that those disciples of Ziyang Palace are all arrogant and proud.
If you look down on him, you naturally won't care where he comes from.
During the time he practiced in Ziyang Palace, he almost never revealed the fact that he was from Liangshui Town. It was not because he thought Liangshui Town was a poor and remote place and it would be embarrassing to tell others about it, but when he wanted to tell others that he was from Liangshui Town, no one was willing to listen.
It's not that he left no records in Ziyang Palace, but these records have been sealed since he entered the palace. Unless the head of Ziyang Palace comes forward, no one is qualified to open the files.
Who knows, there are so many grudges among Taoists, and it is common for them to fight over a disagreement.
If you accidentally reveal your place of origin, it can easily cause a huge disaster!
Whether it is Zi Yang Palace or other sects, they naturally do not want the information of their disciples to be known to others.
At the gate of Liangshui Town.
It was already dark and quiet at this moment. Every household was fast asleep. Even the restaurants, guest houses and shops on both sides of the street were all closed. It was so quiet that there was not even a ghost in sight.
Wang Lin glanced at Xiaobai under him and said worriedly, "Master, are we attracting too much attention with a white lion?"
"It doesn't matter. My home is on the edge of Liangshui Town. There are either mountains or lakes next to it. There are not many families living there!"
Taoist Xuanqing said.
Not long after.
Under the leadership of Taoist Priest Xuanqing, the Wang family passed through the prosperous Liangshui Town and came to a Taoist temple. With the help of moonlight, they could vaguely see the situation of the temple.
Taoist Xuanqing was surprised and asked: "How could this happen?"
"Taoist Master, what's wrong?"
Wang Lin asked.
Wang Ping'an also noticed his master's abnormality at once. Following his master's gaze, he also discovered that something was wrong with this Taoist temple.
It’s not that there are evil spirits hiding in this Taoist temple, but that this temple is too clean, and it is obvious that someone cleans it regularly.
According to his master, his master had not been back for many years. It would not be surprising if this Taoist temple was not in disrepair. He never expected that this Taoist temple would be so clean.
Taoist Priest Xuanqing opened the gate of the Taoist temple with full of doubts, and immediately saw a decades-old peach tree in the middle of the courtyard. The tree was growing very well, but it was not yet the flowering season, which made it look very asymmetrical with the Taoist temple.
"No way, could there be a story that is popular in this?"
Wang Ping'an was the first to notice the abnormality of his master, so during this period of time, all his attention was on his master. He also noticed the abnormality of his master when he opened the gate of the Taoist temple, walked in and saw the peach tree. He also noticed that there seemed to be tears flashing in his master's eyes.
"Could it be that the childhood sweethearts planted this peach tree together, and something happened that no one wanted to see—ahem, something that no one wanted to accept?"
