Lin Che transmigrated and became the seventh son of the Daqian Zhen Guo Mansion. Because the original owner was not the Duke Zhen Guo’s biological son, he was unloved by his father and mother since...
"Eh? Master, do you know Wen Hong? Did the Duke of Wei's Mansion offend you?"
Wen Wuyang reacted quickly and did not admit his identity. He looked at Taoist Zhou Xu's face in the light emitted by the Thunder Lion, pretending to be angry and said angrily:
"He and I have a small grudge. Do you want revenge?"
Taoist Zhouxu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter and said:
"Little girl, you should be careful when you go out. But you don't need to be so cautious when facing me. I know Duke Wen Hong of Weiguo. To be more precise, I am friends with Duke Weiguo's father. I gave him the name Wen Hong when he was born."
This old Taoist priest, is he so old?
Lin Che took another careful look at him. He looked only about sixty years old, but General Wen Hong must be at least one hundred and forty years old.
"You... Senior, are you the Zhouxu Sect Master?" Wen Wuyang was startled and quickly jumped off the Lei Shi's back, bowing respectfully.
"Junior heard that you are well, and greeted Sect Master Zhouxu."
"Hahaha. It really is you, little girl. I just looked at your face and you look just like your great-grandmother. I guess you are related to the Duke of Wei's Mansion. Hurry up and get up, haha!"
Taoist Zhouxu smiled and wanted to go forward to help, but he was dragging one leg, as if the slope of the hill was something he could not overcome.
"I didn't expect to see Sect Master Zhouxu here. Hehe, I often heard my grandfather say that the only Taoist who can truly glimpse the secrets of heaven and comprehend the laws of nature is none other than Sect Master Zhouxu..." Wen Wuyang's voice was crisp and his smile was as beautiful as a flower, which made people feel happy just by looking at him.
"Hahaha, I'm no longer the sect leader. I'm afraid there aren't many people in Yuxu Palace who recognize an old man like me now."
Seeing this, Lin Che didn't hesitate and asked:
"Sect Master? Yuxu Palace? He just told me that he's a wandering Taoist priest... What's his relationship with Yuxu Palace?"
Wen Wuyang did not hide anything: "Master Zhouxu was the former leader of Yuxu Palace."
"What?"
Lin Che was startled and immediately became alert and cautious, staring straight at Taoist Zhouxu:
"Old man, you're always playing tricks on me when you're out, aren't you? I saved your life, and when I asked you about your relationship with Yuxu Palace, you kept talking nonsense. You're such a jerk, you old man!"
Buzz!!
Yu Huadian noticed that Lin Che was starting to be on guard, so he simply burst out his true energy. A cold light flashed in his palm, and several silver needles floated in his palm, ready to attack at any time.
Taoist Zhouxu immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive—I used to be the master of Yuxu Palace. But I haven't been back for almost sixty years. I have long lost contact with Yuxu Palace. It's normal not to want to talk about old things."
"I'm fine, your grandfather and I have known each other for over a hundred years. Please don't take advantage of my weakness and attack me."
This old man is really bad.
Seeing this, he immediately asked for help and heard that he was fine.
Wen Wuyang looked at Lin Che with some embarrassment and said, "Lin Che... Taoist Zhouxu has been famous for many years and is a highly respected senior. I'm afraid there's some misunderstanding here."
Lin Che was silent for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, but finally he suddenly smiled.
"Hahaha. What I respect most are people of high moral character and prestige. We're going to meet General Wen Hong, Lao Zhou, do you want to come with us?"
"Haha. Then I'll trouble you, young man... By the way, may I ask your name, benefactor?" Taoist Zhouxu also showed a kind smile, looking harmless.
"My name is Lin Che. Come on, Lao Zhou, please get on." Lin Che jumped onto the back of the thunder lion first.
Taoist Zhouxu looked at Fenghuoleishi, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, but he still bowed and said:
"Thank you very much."
He jumped on one foot and flew into the air, jumping to a height of seven or eight meters. Then his body sank and he fell at the feet of Lei Shi with a plop.
Lei Shi lowered his head woodenly, glanced at him, and a trace of disdain flashed from his nose.
Taoist Zhouxu was a little embarrassed and tried to save face: "Haha, it was a mistake. I can do it, I can do it."
He jumped towards the tail of the thunder lion, took a deep breath and jumped, grabbed the tail of the thunder lion, hung it in mid-air, then gritted his teeth and jumped up again.
Finally, it arrived on Lei Shi’s back.
Lin Che could clearly see that there was no zhenqi in the body of this Zhouxu Taoist. He was definitely not faking it.
I jumped up there with all my strength.
"Hold on, we're off!"
This old man should be kept for now. With his identity as the former leader of Yuxu Palace, maybe a lot of useful information can be obtained from him.
After all, if you want to deal with Yuxu Palace, you can't be completely ignorant.
On the way back, Lin Che simply sat next to Taoist Zhouxu. On the one hand, he used his inner energy to protect him, and on the other hand, he tried to get some inside information about Yuxu Palace from him by making indirect attempts.
There is still some effect.
After a detailed explanation, Taoist Zhouxu looked at Lin Che in shock and said:
"You are the son of Cheng Qiuci?"
Although Taoist Zhouxu was no longer in Yuxu Palace, he still knew some of the news about Yuxu Palace. He looked at Lin Che deeply and sighed:
"You are actually Cheng Qiuci's child, and you were sent to Yanyun Country as a hostage. Strange, strange! Could it be that the Holy Pregnancy Cave can really produce a peerless genius?"
Lin Che had heard some rumors about his life experience a long time ago. Although he didn't care, he also wanted to know.
"Senior, haha. Come, I have some wine and some meat to go with it. I can heat it up and we can talk while we eat."
Lin Che's Cangtian bag contained all kinds of things.
Moreover, the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Lion is made of stone, and there is lightning and fire in its body. As long as you knock on the back of the Thunder Lion, a small flame will burn.
Set up the pot and start warming the wine. Once the fruit is added, the flavor will be there.
Taoist Zhouxu had been hungry for more than a hundred days. When he saw the meat in the pot, his eyes widened and he did not hide anything when asked.
"Since you want to listen, the truth is more cutting than this jug of wine!"
"Yuxu Palace, it's no longer the Yuxu Palace of the past. Ever since Ling Jingzong took over the position of the Sect Master, oh, he also called himself the Dao Zun. On the path of cultivation, he doesn't pursue the principle of following the laws of nature or the unity of heaven and man."
"What he pursues is immortality! The kind of immortality that can be achieved by possessing a dead body and then resurrecting the soul!"
Lin Che frowned. Why, after reaching a certain level, did these people become so fanatical about pursuing immortality?
Jiang Shangwu has been practicing the summoning of the undead and has always claimed that he wants to pursue immortality.
"In the Yuxu Palace, there's a Holy Pregnancy Cave. Listen to the name. As long as the saint girl walks in, she will be pregnant when she walks out. If I remember correctly, you should be the child that Cheng Qiuci conceived in the Holy Pregnancy Cave..."
