Chapter 61: The Secret of the Sect
"Master, do the people in the sect have any objections to you treating the Saintess of the Chuma lineage like this?"
Zhang Qianyang sneered, "Of course I do. I have a lot of complaints. What's even more disgusting is that you beat the younger one and provoked the older one. As your teacher, I had no choice but to..."
"Have you asked the Grandmaster to come forward?"
Li Daoxuan asked, the old Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain can be regarded as the pillar of Taoism. At the moment when the immortals and Buddhas are in hiding, he is like a walking nuclear weapon.
Zhang Qianyang knocked Li Daoxuan's head hard and cursed: "Is your master such a loser? I had no choice but to dismantle the mountain gate of the Chu Ma lineage and beat up his ancestor."
Li Daoxuan was in a state of complete confusion.
Beat... the ancestor of the Chu Ma lineage?
Wang Bo had said before that the ancestor of their lineage of horsemen had been instructed by the Green-robed Lady when he was young, and later cultivated to the Yang God Realm, but unfortunately died under the heavenly tribulation of becoming an immortal...
"Come to think of it, the Qingyi Lady came out to mediate at that time, otherwise there might not be any lineage of people who can go out to fight now."
Li Daoxuan had nothing to say and could only secretly give a thumbs up.
Master, you are really ruthless. If you can't solve the problem, you will kill the person who raised the problem...
The lady in green had been smiling but had not said anything. At this moment, she interrupted and said, "I didn't expect that Daoist Zhang is still as charming as ever after so many years of absence. The technique of moving mountains and calming the sea that he used just now is quite similar to that of the old Heavenly Master."
Zhang Qianyang, who had just been so proud and unrestrained, bowed and saluted immediately after hearing this, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, thank you for your compliment. I am really sorry for spoiling your banquet this time!"
The Green-robed Lady shook her head and said, "The purpose of holding the banquet today has been achieved. Fellow Daoist Zhang, you have accepted a good disciple!"
Zhang Qianyang was stunned and looked at his apprentice in surprise.
"Did the queen choose him?"
The Qingyi Lady nodded and said, "That's right, but it's a pity that your beloved disciple doesn't think highly of our Qingming Realm and is unwilling to serve as the Qingming Envoy."
Zhang Qianyang was even more surprised, because he knew his own disciple well, and although this kid was extremely talented, his cultivation was still shallow after all.
He originally sent his apprentice to the banquet just to broaden his horizons and let him taste the nectar brewed by the Empress herself to improve his cultivation.
I never expected that this boy would actually win the favor of the Queen!
What he couldn't have imagined was that his disciple actually refused.
After a little thought, he understood his apprentice's concerns.
Li Daoxuan said somewhat embarrassedly: "Master, I was thinking——"
Zhang Qianyang patted his shoulder and said with satisfaction: "You can still stick to your heart despite the treasure. Not bad, you are worthy of being my disciple!"
"I am your master, not your father. You should make your own decisions. If you don't want to be the master, then don't be the master. There is no need to explain."
Li Daoxuan felt warm in his heart, he knew that his master was protecting him. Even when facing an unfathomable ghost fairy, his master still stood on his side without hesitation.
The lady in green glanced at the master and disciple and shook her head slightly.
Zhang Qianyang counted on his fingers and said, "Disciple, Master came here this time just to support you. After all, as my disciple, it is inevitable that you will have more enemies."
"Master is a traveling spirit, and must return to his physical body before sunrise. It is getting late now, so Master must go back first."
Li Daoxuan was stunned and said quickly: "Master, please take me back with you!"
Zhang Qianyang smiled bitterly and said, "Silly boy, you have not yet shed your mortal body. Mortal flesh and blood is as heavy as a mountain. My ghost cannot carry you!"
"You can go back by yourself. I am also going on a long journey. I will go to the depths of the mountains to look for the auxiliary medicine for you to refine the inner elixir of the snake demon."
After saying this, Zhang Qianyang subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch his apprentice's head, but he didn't know what he thought of, and he was stunned again, looking a little disappointed.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Qianyang made a seal with his hands, and the ghost rose up with the wind, flying like a stream of light, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the direction where his master left, Li Daoxuan felt a little emotional.
This banquet allowed him to learn a lot about his master's past, but he still had many doubts.
Why did Master fall to the Yang Shen realm?
He once said that it was his senior sister who betrayed Mount Longhu, but why did others say that he was the one who violated the sect's rules and was stabbed by the old Taoist priest?
Why, as a true disciple of Mount Longhu, Master never mentioned returning to the mountain?
Li Daoxuan could feel that his master had deep feelings for Longhu Mountain and the old Heavenly Master. Especially when he mentioned the old Heavenly Master, he did not have a trace of resentment, but was full of respect and nostalgia.
"My Lady, why did my Master... fall to the Yang God Realm?"
The lady in green said calmly, "This is your master's secret. Although I know it, I can't talk about it. When he opens up, he may tell you on his own initiative."
Li Daoxuan nodded, then bowed and said: "Thank you for your guidance, my lady. I will take my leave now..."
Before he could finish his words, the unconscious Meiling Mountain God moved and suddenly woke up.
"Zhang Qianyang, I will kill you!"
He rushed forward with his fists waving as if he was mad.
A cold snort sounded.
The Meiling Mountain God stood there blankly as if struck by lightning, with cracks appearing on his body, like a piece of broken porcelain.
The lady in green changed her gentle temperament, and looked coldly at the Meiling Mountain God with majestic eyes.
Crack!
There were more and more cracks on the mountain god's body , and even if he mobilized Meiling's divine power, he couldn't alleviate them. His body was about to disintegrate and he was in danger of death.
The Meiling Mountain God finally came to his senses and begged for mercy: "My God, please spare my life. I know I was wrong!"
The cracks stopped spreading.
The Qingyi Lady retracted her majestic gaze and said calmly: "Mei Xuan, this is just a small punishment. If you dare to act rashly at my banquet again next time, I think it's time to change the position of Meiling Mountain God."
Hearing this, the Meiling Mountain God was shocked and his eyes were full of fear.
If he were stripped of his position as mountain god, he would die and would not even have the chance to reincarnate!
"I understand. I won't dare to do it again!"
Lady Qingyi flicked her sleeves and said, "Go."
The Meiling Mountain God left in a hurry, not daring to look up again.
Li Daoxuan's heart trembled. His master also subdued the Meiling Mountain God. Although his master's method was as powerful as thunder and amazing, compared with the understatement of Lady in Green, the feeling of hearing thunder in silence made him feel more unfathomable.
Li Daoxuan also wanted to take the opportunity to leave.
"Li Daoxuan, you stay."
The Qingyi Lady pointed at the ancient bronze mirror and said, "I know you don't want to be a Qingming Envoy, but don't rush to make a decision. Why not take a look first?"
Li Daoxuan was a little confused. What was he looking at?
He walked to the mirror and saw rippling water. It was no longer the corrupt official being tortured, but another picture.
"Dacheng Temple?"
Li Daoxuan was surprised to see that the scene on the screen was the scene he had seen in Dacheng Temple before.
There was nothing happening at first, but when night fell, an old man appeared in the mirror, leaning on a cane, and walked straight through the wall towards his room.
With every step he took, his body grew taller, until his skin burst open, revealing his sharp teeth and claws, and his long yellow tail.
