Chapter 34 The Secret of the Little Taoist Child (4K, please read on)
In the underground cave.
The little Taoist boy narrated the cause and effect.
Gu Zhinan frowned and couldn't calm down for a long time.
The extent to which the southwest land was controlled and polluted by the King of Tianfeng was even more serious than he had imagined! All the local officials were corrupt, the people could not leave, and the government orders could not come in!
It has become a country within a country where demons are rampant!
"As you said, these people who were transformed into demons were rescued from Tianfeng Country by Fairy Ning, and then your master took them in. So where is your master?"
He asked briefly and to the point.
Mentioning this, the little Taoist boy's eyes became even redder, "Master, three months ago, heard that the fourth master Gu called on all the righteous men in the world to go south to eliminate the monsters, so he resolutely carried the sword and talisman and went to meet him."
Hear this.
Fairy Pei, who had a blank expression on her face throughout, glanced at the scholar next to her.
Gu Zhinan was also shocked and asked, "What happened next? Did your master disappear without a trace?"
The little Taoist boy shook his head sadly: "Before Master left, he left a letter to my senior brother, asking him to run the Taoist temple well and take care of the demons (no, not the people) who were persecuted by the King of Tianfeng and became homeless. Then he never sent any more letters back."
Gu Zhinan took a deep breath: "Then your senior brother also left, right?"
"Hey, how did you know that, sir?" the little Taoist boy asked in surprise.
"Don't worry about it, just answer me."
"Oh." The little Taoist boy nodded obediently and said, "Three months after Master left, Senior Brother was too worried about Master's safety. He left me a letter and asked me to take care of the affairs of the Taoist temple. Then he left without saying goodbye."
At this point, the little fat boy started crying again.
"Apart from you three masters and disciples, is there no one else in this Taoist temple?"
Pei Wanyu frowned.
"Yes, this Qingfeng Temple was founded by our great master. When it was passed down to our master's generation, the number of people was already dwindling. If it is passed down again, there will only be three of us left."
The little Taoist sighed softly, "After Senior Brother left, I became the current abbot of the temple. The Taoist name given to me by Master is Kunxuzi."
"No wonder that group of people just now, um, respected you so much."
Gu Zhinan asked curiously, "I see that your cultivation is only at the middle level of the ninth rank. Aren't you afraid that they might cause trouble?"
"No." The little Taoist boy shook his head and said, "After Fairy Ning rescued them from Tianfeng Country, she killed the shadow poison in their bodies, so they have not lost their humanity. They are all kind and good people."
"Who is this Fairy Ning you are talking about? How could she be able to kill the Shadow Gu?"
Pei Wanyu on the side asked in a deep voice.
Gu Zhinan noticed that the female boss looked unfriendly, and immediately whispered in her ear: "Fairy Ning is the saint of Miaoyin Pavilion, her cultivation is about the fifth rank, and she has a great reputation in Tianfeng Country, but compared to you, Fairy, you are inferior in strength, character, and beauty."
"You are so beautiful, how can Fairy Ning compare to you?"
"Hmm." Fairy Pei did not comment and closed her eyes again.
However, Gu Zhinan looked at her carefully and caught a glimpse of the joy in the depths of her eyes.
"Xiaodao, I have another question."
"Sir, please speak."
"As we traveled along the way, we found many towns and cities were lifeless and the people were in panic. Why is it that only your Qishan County is peaceful?" Gu Zhinan expressed a common question in his past and present lives.
The little Taoist boy pondered for a moment, his eyes gleaming with light, "Sir, I am not bragging, the reason why we have not been touched by those evil people is because..."
"Xiaodao and the group of "aliens" just now, yes, Master asked us to call them that, we are protecting this mountain city together."
"Um?"
Gu Zhinan suddenly thought of something: "When we came in just now, the group of strange people shouted that we were the county governor's men. In other words, the county magistrate of Qishan County has been..."
"Your guess is correct, sir."
The little Taoist boy said seriously, "Not long after Master left, I discovered that something was wrong with the county magistrate. On the one hand, he forcibly collected the so-called demon-suppressing charity funds, but on the other hand, he himself raised demons in the county government office."
"So Senior Brother concluded that Qishan County, and even the entire Yunshui County, was controlled by a huge black hand."
"No, your brother still wants to be conservative."
Gu Zhinan said: "The entire southwest land has been controlled by a big man with a beastly heart."
"Ah, is it that serious?"
The little Taoist boy's pupils shrank, and he said, "So, young master, fairy, why are you here?"
"We're just passing through."
Gu Zhinan said, "Let's continue with your story. What did your senior brother do after he found out that the county magistrate was colluding with the governor?"
"My senior brother is only two years older than me, but he is much more capable than me."
The little Taoist boy said with admiration: "After he discovered the conspiracy of the county magistrate and the county governor, he organized the strange people in the secret passage and wiped out the county government office that was harboring so much corruption. The people have long been exploited and are suffering. After hearing about this, they all regard my senior brother as a Taoist priest who can save the world!"
"So, the governor of Yunshui County sent troops to attack you many times afterwards, right?"
"Yes, we did send troops, but they were demon soldiers!"
The little Taoist boy gnashed his teeth and said, "It was then that my senior brother was completely certain that the evil monsters that had been killing and plundering the people were actually raised by the county governor and the county magistrate!"
"But fortunately, under the leadership of my senior brother and with the support of the people, we defended the mountain and beat back the demon army of the dog county governor time and time again. After my senior brother left, I continued to fight with the aliens. Gradually, the dog county governor seemed to have given up Qishan County and rarely sent troops to invade."
"I see. It's really not easy for you guys."
Gu Zhinan patted the little Taoist boy on the shoulder and said, "You and your brother have lived up to your master's trust and are worthy of the title of Taoist Savior."
If Boss Pei hadn’t forcibly broken the iron door of the secret passage.
He would never have imagined that this fat riddle man who was smiling all day in the game was actually a righteous and passionate young man.
"Hehe, I am just inheriting the mission of my senior brothers and master. Compared with them, I have to work harder! But I really benefit from your words, sir! I also think I am a good temple master! I have not lost face for my senior brothers and master!"
The little Taoist boy touched the back of his head, and a blush appeared on his chubby face.
"You kid."
Gu Zhinan couldn't help but smile, and reached out to pinch the little fat boy's face.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
A low and cold female voice sounded: "I have a question."
A truly strong person is concise and to the point, yet always manages to attract all the attention.
The two men immediately stopped smiling and looked towards the female swordsman in white next to them.
Pei Wanyu asked, "If it is true as you said, you helped the people of this mountain city resist the invasion of evil spirits, why do you still need to live in the underground cave?"
The little Taoist boy sighed and said, "Fairy, you don't know that when the strangers first returned home, they were rejected by their families and neighbors, so they had no choice but to come to the Taoist temple."
"Therefore, in order not to cause panic among the people, whenever we lead the aliens to fight against the dog county governor, they wear masks and are covered with armor. The people have no idea that they are the villagers and neighbors of Qishan County, and they even call them masked heavenly generals!"
Pei Wanyu frowned even more when she heard this: "But what's the point of this to these weird people? They have done so many things, but they are still not allowed to see the light of day. They can't even clear their names."
"Fairy."
Gu Zhinan looked firmly into those doubtful eyes, "Who said that only those who stand in the light are heroes?"
“.”
Pei Jianxian lowered his head in silence, as if thinking.
Gu Zhinan looked at the little Taoist boy and asked, "Little Taoist Master Kunkunxuzi, I'm a little curious. Your senior brother and master have left, so why didn't a kid like you leave with them?"
"No."
The little Taoist boy said: "Master said that this Taoist temple must be run forever. We are currently weak and can only protect the people of this county. If we become stronger in the future, we will be able to protect the people of the entire county! If we become stronger, we will be able to..."
"In short, Master is gone, but I still have my senior brother. When my senior brother is gone, I still have me! When I improve my skills and morals, I will also accept disciples! Our Qingshui Temple will always be the support of the people of the world as it is passed down from generation to generation! My Tao will not perish, and the righteous path will last forever!"
The little fat boy spoke loudly, his chubby face flushed with excitement.
Master Gu and Pei Jianxian beside them looked at each other in silence.
"Sir, fairy, do you believe I can do it well?"
"believe."
Gu Zhinan nodded, "You have done very well."
"Thank you for your praise, young master!" The little Taoist boy's eyes flickered, and he was very excited, but then his face slowly dimmed: "It's a pity that I am dull and far inferior to my senior brother and master. In this life, I can only do well in the things in front of me. Otherwise, I will also go to join the fourth young master Gu, slay demons and monsters, and seek welfare for the people of the world!"
"You admire that Fourth Master Gu very much?"
A question was asked.
But it wasn't Mr. Gu who asked the question, but——
Pei Wanyu raised her phoenix eyes and looked at the little Taoist boy with interest: "Have you seen him?"
"No, if I can see the Fourth Master Gu once, even if I die, it will be enough." The little Taoist boy shook his head.
"Is it so exaggerated?" Pei Wanyu widened her eyes.
"real!"
The little Taoist boy said solemnly, "Since I was a child, I have heard from my master that the fourth son of the imperial capital, Gu, hates evil and is very righteous. He even saved my master's life! Over the years, his words have always encouraged my master, my brother and I to work hard to move forward!"
"Huh? I'm not right, what did he say?"
Gu Zhinan was stunned.
"Look there, sir."
The little Taoist boy pointed to the top of the cave wall behind him and said, "That's what Master Gu said to Master. Master wrote it down and hung it there!"
The two looked as they were told.
On the dome, there was a green wooden plaque hanging, with fourteen bold and powerful ancient seal characters inscribed on it: "The ground is filled with grief and the city is filled with blood, but the only thought is to save the people."
"Um?"
Gu Zhinan was stunned. Why did these words sound so familiar?
The female sword fairy in white clothes standing beside her also had deep eyes and an expression that seemed to show understanding.
"Fairy, what do you think?"
Gu Zhinan asked without losing any time.
"I don't understand." Pei Jianxian shook his head blankly.
“.”
Gu Zhinan calmed down and looked at the little Taoist boy and said, "Okay, little Taoist priest, I have learned almost everything now. It is time for me and my fairy to leave."
"Ah? Are you two leaving now?"
The little Taoist boy's glowing eyes dimmed in an instant.
"With you, Taoist Master Kunxu, in charge, the people of Qishan County will be able to continue to live and work in peace."
Gu Zhinan looked towards the direction of the cave entrance: "And what I am going to do next is to allow you to leave this dark cave one day, stand under the bright sun, and receive the glory you deserve."
"As for your senior brother and master..."
"I'll try to keep an eye out for you on the rest of the journey."
As soon as the words fell.
call out.
The bronze mirror on the chest emits a golden glow that is only visible to its owner.
Immediately afterwards, the light curtain information appeared in the mirror and in my mind simultaneously:
"Complete the exploration: Qingfeng Temple secret passage."
"You have gained 200 experience points." (Current Spiritual Mirror Level: Grade 3, distance to the next level [1300/3000]) "You have received a new commission: Help Kunxuzi find his master."
"Mission reward: 300 points."
Ignored the so-called commissioned task that was triggered.
Gu Zhinan quickly followed the graceful figure in white who turned and left.
The young Taoist priest of Qingfeng Temple followed closely and respectfully escorted the two young men and women, who were obviously from extraordinary backgrounds, to the gate of the Taoist temple.
He walked forward and said a little embarrassedly: "Sir, I actually have a small wish."
"Well, tell me about it."
Gu Zhinan said casually, welcoming Pei Jianxian to the chariot, and was very glad that this woman did not step on him in front of outsiders! The little Taoist boy said seriously:
"I recently heard that the Fourth Master Gu rescued the people of Jinyang. He should also be in Yuezhou. So, if you can meet the Fourth Master Gu, please greet him on my behalf and tell him that he will always be the hero I respect the most!"
Gu Zhinan was stunned when he heard this.
Fairy Pei, whose white silk legs had already stepped into the carport, also froze and turned her eyes away.
After a long awkward silence.
Gu Zhinan walked over, adjusted the wide Taoist robe and ceremonial hat for the young Taoist priest, and said word by word: "He is not a hero."
"And you, my Taoist priest, you are the real hero."
After saying this, he rode away on his spirit horse.
The sound of horse hooves splashed and dust rose.
The young Taoist priest looked at the two lines of tire tracks extending northward and suddenly realized something.
"Yes! This young master is the Fourth Young Master Gu!"
"He is the only one who can make a powerful female swordsman willingly serve him. He has such a strong personality charm!"
"Master! Senior Brother! I finally met the Fourth Young Master! Wuuuuuuu!"
The golden crow disappears and the moon rabbit rises in the east.
Gradually, day turns into night.
An official carriage was speeding towards the north at full speed.
The carriage drove into the bamboo forest. There was silence between heaven and earth, with only the crisp sound of horses' hooves stepping on the bluestone road.
"Why don't you tell that little Taoist boy?"
This time, it was Fairy Pei in the carport who took the initiative to speak.
"I'll tell him, fairy."
Gu Zhinan's handsome eyes said sternly: "After we work together to dispel the evil haze in this southwest land, I will let everyone know my name."
"we?"
Pei Wanyu was slightly startled, then snorted and said, "It's you, not me."
"yes."
Gu Zhinan smiled and didn't argue.
Eyes can't lie.
In fact, from the moment he left Jinyang Prefecture, he saw that the seed of "justice" had quietly sprouted in the heart of Boss Pei.
After a moment of silence, the Fairy suddenly asked, "Did you wash that thing clean on the way?"
"What?"
Gu Zhinan was really confused this time.
Inside the carriage, Fairy Pei gently stroked the pair of beautiful legs wrapped in white ice silk, her cheeks flushed: "I like the pair of black stockings more."
Damn.
Gu Zhinan was shocked when he heard this and almost fell off the carriage: "But wasn't that thing soiled by me?"
Gu Zhinan's heart was moved.
The resentful voice of the female boss came to my ears:
"So, didn't I tell you to clean it?!"
"That's really unnecessary, fairy."
Gu Zhinan chuckled and said, "Let's not talk about black silk or white silk, the place we're going to next is..."
Thinking of that exciting thing, if it were worn on Fairy Pei's plump, proud, and almost vulgar body, Master Gu and that good brother both excitedly raised their heads and gave a thumbs up.
"So, where are we going next?" Fairy Pei asked immediately without noticing anything strange about the scholar outside.
"Tianfeng Country!"
"Didn't you say earlier that you were going to the Southwest to suppress the Demon Division's chief guard?"
Gu Zhinan looked ahead with a solemn gaze:
"The Southwest Guard is the Tianfeng Kingdom, and the Tianfeng Kingdom is the Southwest Guard!"
