There is a very grand mansion right next to the palace, which is even larger than Yin Shou's mansion. Every official entering and leaving the palace will be in awe when passing by. Civil and military officials will dismount, seeming to be very afraid of this place.
There are two lifelike unicorn statues at the entrance of the mansion. Two unicorns are also engraved in relief on the dark gate. It seems that unicorns are the symbol of the owner of the house. On the plaque at the front door, three large characters are written in flowing water, Tai Teacher's house.
This is the residence of Wen Zhong, the grand master of the dynasty.
Speaking of Wen Zhong, he is quite famous in the human race. Wen Zhong learned martial arts from the Jiejiao Immortal Jin Ling Shen Sheng since he was a child. He has achieved great success in fifty years. He was ordered by his teacher to go down the mountain to help Bao become Tang Sheji. The first monarch to be supported was Yin Shou's grandfather, the old Shang Wang Wending, who was a veteran of the two dynasties. Now he had won the trust of Emperor Yi and held great military and political power.
In the Taishi Mansion, Wen Zhong, who had white hair and a stern face, was sitting in the study, holding a book in his hand and reading. In front of him was a servant dressed as a servant, standing respectfully.
"Tell me, what happened to Yin Shou?"
"Grand Master, the Third Young Master returned to Chaoge ahead of schedule, and there were several people with him, one man, two women, and a little girl. The man looked like a Taoist," the servant said.
Wen Zhong put down the book in his hand after hearing this, with a trace of displeasure on his face.
"Snapped…"
"Nonsense. I told him a long time ago not to interact with these people anymore, but he just didn't listen."
Wen Zhong slammed the book in his hand onto the table and said angrily. The divine eye on his forehead also opened, and a golden light flashed through it.
"thump."
The servant was so frightened that he fell to his knees, trembling all over.
Immediately afterwards, Wen Zhong left the desk and walked towards the door of the study.
"Get up and follow me to Yin Shou." Wen Zhong's voice came.
"Yes." The servant quickly stood up and followed.
Soon, Wen Zhong rode a carriage out of the back door of the Taishi Mansion, followed by only two followers.
The distance between the Grand Master's Mansion and Yin Shou's mansion was actually not that far apart. They just walked a few streets and the carriage stopped at the door in less than a quarter of an hour.
The guards on guard saw the carriage from afar, and they knew it all too well, so they knelt down to greet it.
"Meet the Grand Master." The guards shouted.
The servant opened the door curtain and Wen Zhong walked out of the carriage.
"Humph... Where is Yin Shou? Why don't you hurry up and call him over." Wen Zhong said coldly.
"Um...back to the Grand Master, there are distinguished guests in the mansion. The Young Master is entertaining them, and don't let others get close." The captain of the guard said quickly.
"That's unreasonable." When Wen Zhong heard this, he didn't care about anything else, and walked in first. Others didn't dare to stop him at all, and he couldn't help but secretly sweat for Yin Shou.
However, the living room in the mansion was busy at this time. Dongfang and Xiao Longnv personally cooked a table full of delicacies, which were unheard of and unseen by people of this era.
Even people like Tongtian who rarely eat food are full of praises, let alone Yin Shou and Jiang Rou.
"I pride myself on eating all the delicacies, but now I realize that I was just deceiving myself and watching the sky from a well." Yin Shou sighed while eating. At first, he was a little cautious because of Tongtian's presence, but slowly he realized that the rumored saint was not that scary, so he let go. In fact, the main reason was because of the existence of Li Daoyi. For some reason, as long as he saw him , Yin Shou will feel extremely safe.
"It's been a thousand years, almost. This is the first time I've eaten in a thousand years." Tongtian said while holding a piece of honey chicken wings.
"Oh? Then leader, you are in a big loss. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. In my opinion, immortals should be like this. If they don't know how to enjoy and just practice hard, then isn't this immortal life just like a stubborn stone, with no fun at all? ?" Li Daoyi said with a smile.
"Hmm... That makes sense. Fellow Taoist thought it through. I did miss a lot of good things in the past," Tongtian said.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh."
"I want more."
"Give it all to me."
Mengmeng pointed to the delicious food on the table and said, looking very anxious.
"No one will compete with you, but we have made a lot." Dongfang Bubai quickly brought a large plate of chicken wings to Mengmeng.
"Hahaha, this child is really innocent and has a pure heart." Tongtian couldn't help laughing.
"Master, don't be fooled by her appearance. This girl is very naughty. I can't even do anything to her."
"Just a little bit..." Mengmeng heard Li Daoyi's complaints, opened her greasy mouth and made a face.
Just when the atmosphere was very harmonious, everyone heard footsteps outside, and it seemed that they were not slow.
Yin Shou stood up quickly. He had warned everyone not to come near him before, but now someone came. How could he not be angry? Then he left the table and walked out.
However, when Yin Shou walked out and saw the person clearly, he was stunned.
"Teacher."
Yin Shou hurriedly greeted him.
"Master, ah, no, teacher, why are you here?" Yin Shou said quickly. He has been learning martial arts and the art of war from Wen Zhong since he was a child, and he is regarded as a teacher in private.
Wen Zhong stopped, smelled the smell of alcohol on Yin Shou, and vaguely saw many people in the living room, and his face darkened.
"Third Young Master, are you hosting a banquet for distinguished guests?" Wen Zhong said.
"Uh... yes, he is a distinguished guest." Yin Shou said quickly.
"You are ignorant and have no skills. You hang out with these crooked ways all day long. You really disappoint me."
"I would like to see who this distinguished guest is."
After saying that, he walked over and pushed away Yin Shou who was standing in front of him.
"Interesting." At the dinner table, Li Daoyi smiled slightly, as if he had imagined what would happen next.
Tongtian also smiled awkwardly. He had naturally heard the sounds outside. He had also seen Wen Zhong. He had a good reputation among the three generations of disciples and was very popular with everyone. He even mentioned him specially when he was preaching.
"Snapped…"
The ajar door of the living room was pushed open, and everyone immediately felt a surge of anger. Wen Zhong looked at everyone, and the divine eyes on his forehead swept over.
“……”
Immediately afterwards, Wen Zhong's whole body froze, and his face that was originally full of anger turned pale in an instant. His divine eyes on his forehead seemed to have seen something he shouldn't have seen and immediately closed them, staring blankly at the sky in front of him. leader.
"I haven't seen you for decades, but your temper is still the same as when you were in Biyou Palace, Wen Zhong." The leader of Tongtian Cult said calmly.
"Ancestor... Ancestor, why is it you?" Wen Zhong said stupidly.
"Why can't it be me?" Tongtian asked.
"Disciple Wen Zhong pays homage to the ancestor and pays homage to the saint." Wen Zhong, who came to his senses immediately, quickly lay on the ground and saluted.
"Okay, get up. This is Chaoge, your territory. I'm here as a guest, so I don't need those false courtesy." Tongtian waved his hand and said.
"Teacher." Yin Shou quickly stepped forward to help Wen Zhonglai up.
"You bastard, why didn't you remind me?" Wen Zhong whispered.
"I..." Yin Shou had a helpless smile on his face. The other party had just barged in without giving him any time to explain.
Then Wen Zhong hurriedly walked behind Tongtian and stood up in a dignified manner.
"What are you doing? Why don't you sit down for me?"
"How could Jin Ling, who is not that pedantic, teach a disciple like you?" Tongtian said speechlessly.
"Uh...Thank you, Master." Wen Zhong was like a child, the expression on his face was constantly changing.
Tongtian shook his head helplessly and said to Li Daoyi.
"It made fellow Taoists laugh."
"Haha, it's nothing. Master Wen is dedicated to his duties, fair and strict, and his character is naturally very strong." Li Daoyi smiled and nodded towards Wen Zhong.
At this time, Wen Zhong was horrified. If a saint could call him a fellow Taoist, he must be an extremely powerful person.
"Wen Zhong has met senior." Wen Zhong cupped his hands again.
"Okay, okay, sit down. I have heard of you for a long time. I originally planned to ask Yin Shou to take me to visit you at some time. Today happened to be a coincidence." Li Daoyi said with a smile.
"Teacher, sit down." Yin Shou quickly helped Wen Zhong go to the empty seat and sit down.
Wen Zhongzhan sat down tremblingly, his mind still trembling. If it weren't for the divine eyes on his forehead, he might have thought he was in a hallucination at this time.
"The leader's teaching without discrimination was truly remarkable. He benefited countless living beings and allowed those who had no other connections but were devoted to the Tao to find a home." Li Daoyi praised.
Tongtian heard the words and felt very useful. He smiled and touched his beard.
"It's just..." At this moment, Li Daoyi changed the topic.
Tongtian couldn't help but look over, looking forward to the next chapter.
"You seem to be unclear about some things, right?" Li Daoyi said.
"Huh? Fellow Taoist, you don't have to show off, but it doesn't matter." Tongtian said quickly.
"It seems that your Jiejiao disciples are not welcomed by others outside Biyou Palace."
"How could it be? Who doesn't know that Jie Jiao is my disciple, who dares not to give me face?" Tongtian said.
"Yes or no, just ask Wen Zhong and you will know."
Tongtian immediately looked at Wen Zhong with a questioning look in his eyes.
"Master, don't be angry, old man. It's actually nothing. After all, some fellow disciples have bad backgrounds, and it's inevitable for people to criticize them." Wen Zhong said.
Tongtian instantly understood the meaning of Wen Zhong's words. He was talking about those inhuman ascetics.
"Hmph, are you talking about those people?" Tongtian said coldly.
"There were a few times when you weren't in Biyou Palace, Master, and the brothers from Chan's teaching came to make trouble a few times, but they never started fighting." Wen Zhong replied.
"This is unreasonable, why didn't you say anything?" Tongtian said angrily.
"Uncle Duobao won't let everyone talk," Wen Zhong said in a low voice.
"Duobao? What a waste." Tongtian's face turned pale.
"Okay, fellow Taoist, there's no need to be angry. I'm not provoking anything by saying this. I just want to remind you that it's good to be educated without discrimination, but your character is also very important. You have many disciples, so you have to guard against some things." Li Daoyi opened his mouth and said slowly.
Hearing this, Tongtian nodded slightly, obviously understanding the intention of Li Dao's words.
He raised the wine glass in his hand and said.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, I will remember it."
