    Nangong Wuwei's strides were extremely long. When he was at He Jinzhi's home, Xiao Xia could tell that he must be a very determined and courageous person, but his long strides did not let those who followed him down.  Nangong Wuji and Xiao Xia felt that it was difficult to keep up if they were too fast, which shows that he has extremely strong self-discipline and forbearance.  ¡ÜÈý¡Ü Jiangge¡ÜС¡Ü said,

    The huge Tiangong machinery group stretches across the ground like a town. The 'streets' and 'alleys' mixed in there are irregular, like a maze. Some places seem spacious but are actually impassable at all, and some places can only accommodate one person.  After passing by, Nangong Wuwei acted like an old neighbor who had lived there for more than ten years. After twists and turns, he came to a relatively spacious empty area, about ten feet square.

    In this open space, there was a person standing with his back to them and his hands behind his back.  Amidst the buzzing sounds of machines running all around, this person seemed to be able to hear their footsteps. Just when they turned a corner and saw this person, this person also turned around and looked at them.  .  Then he was stunned.

    This man has an ancient appearance, and his head of gray hair is meticulously combed. Although he is dressed in casual clothes, his expression always reveals the majesty of a superior.  Even when he saw Xiaoxia's slight surprise, he was also surprised in a very solemn, serious and imposing manner.  His majesty seemed to have become an instinctive part of him.

    Seeing this person, Xiaoxia was a little surprised, but it was expected.  This person was none other than Zhang Yuanling, the leader of Zhengyi Sect, Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain whom he had just seen and discussed with the Celestial Master in the city not long ago.  He indeed had a greater purpose in coming to Qingzhou, and the only one in Qingzhou who could attract him, the master of the Taoist sect, to come quietly is Nangong Wuji.

    The surprise on Zhang Tianshi's face only flashed across his face.  He did not forget what he should do, but stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Nangong Wuji: "Zhang Yuanling, a poor Taoist, should have taken the initiative to visit, but he was never able to get in. Now he wants to affect Mr. Wuji's move."  It¡¯s really a sin to come forward.¡±

    "Zhang Tianshi, there is no need to say more polite nonsense. It is not easy for you and me to come out. It takes a lot of energy to meet. Let's talk about business directly." Compared with Zhang Tianshi's serious demeanor, Nangong Wuji was casual.  It was extremely interesting to talk to the Zhengyi leader face to face.  But he still seemed to have the same demeanor and tone when talking to heroes like Tianhe Gui.

    "What Mr. Wuji said is absolutely true." However, Zhang Tianshi did not relax at all because of this. There are no more than three or four people in the world who are qualified for him to call himself a 'Principal Taoist'. The seemingly easy-going old man in front of him is definitely the most powerful among them.  Qualified.  He glanced at Xiao Xia and Mingyue and said: "It's just that what we will discuss later is a major matter involving the country, the country, the country, and the country. Isn't it inappropriate to let these two juniors listen in?"

    Not to mention Zhang Tianshi, even Xiaoxia herself felt that it was inappropriate for her and Mingyue to be here.

    The two people in front of me.  One is the number one person in the Taoist sect, and the other is the real number one person in the world who has gathered the hearts and minds of the people all over the world. Just a meeting between the two is not a simple matter, and it will trigger countless heated discussions and conjectures from others.  Just from the fact that Zhang Tianshi, who always pays attention to dignity, actually traveled incognito and secretly came to this remote place in Qingzhou, and the free and easy Nangong Wuji also went out of his way to meet in the Shenji Hall's agency group, we can know that what they are discussing is definitely a major event that can stir up a storm in the world.  Important things.  Even Nangong Wuwei, who brought them here, has disappeared.

    For this kind of thing, Xiaoxia really just wants to dodge as far as possible. He already has enough troubles.

    "It turns out to be this old Taoist priest." Mingyue beside Xiaoxia curled her lips.  Turn around and walk towards the way you came.  "What this old Taoist said is boring, and I have no interest in listening to it. Taoist Xia, please stay with Mr. Wuji alone."

    Nangong Wuji smiled faintly: "Miss Mingyue can't bear the worldly things like us. It's good to go alone to relax. Taoist Master Qingfeng, please stay here with me."

    Speaking of this, Xiaoxia could only smile bitterly and sigh secretly.

    Zhang Tianshi on the side said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wuji, let me ask again, do you think it is appropriate for this little Taoist priest to listen to what we want to discuss?"

    Nangong Wuji still said calmly: "Seriously speaking, Taoist Master Qingfeng is my junior, and he is about to set sail to the sea, and he may not be able to come back in ten or twenty years. It doesn't hurt to let him listen."

    Zhang Tianshi fell silent, and after a moment he spoke slowly: "If he listens, he should join in. This is his fate and responsibility."

    Nangong Wuji shook his head.  He said casually and calmly: "Then ask him if he is willing. If he wants to leave, why bother to force it. Destiny is uncertain, fate and so on, you and I are just ordinary people wallowing in the mud of this mortal world.  I'm not qualified to talk about it. As for responsibilities, only those who are truly willing can do so.Responsibility, if you don't want to, it means nothing.  "

    Zhang Tianshi fell silent again. Even so, there was no expression or movement. Every wrinkle and every beard on Zhang Tianshi's face seemed to have not forgotten his position, exuding the majesty and momentum he should have.  But in the end, he clearly did not dare to release these auras to the old man opposite. After a while, he still said respectfully: "Then Mr. Wuji, can you tell me frankly, what is the purpose of letting him listen? I believe Mr. Wuji  With my status and reputation, I can¡¯t do the kind of thing of deliberately bringing people to watch my ugly behavior and win people¡¯s hearts by the way.¡±

    "Hehehehe" Nangong Wuji shook his head and laughed, but because of his physical disability, it was not loud and clear, but only long and soft.  He looked at Zhang Tianshi without concealing the amusement in his eyes.  "Don't talk about reputation and status. I have never cared about those vain things since I was ten years old. If Taoist Master Qingfeng doesn't have the intention to go to sea, he wants to stay in the Central Plains of China to experience this  There is such a turmoil, I really mean what you said. I want him to take a good look at the true context of everything in this world, and don¡¯t be fooled by some false claims of success, fame, and hegemony. As for ugliness, you are the one  You, if you think you are ugly, then you are ugly, why should others see you?"

    "Since he has already decided not to wade into this muddy water, I brought him here just as a drop-in, so you can just think that I brought a nephew of the family to gain some knowledge. And if you think about it seriously, what will he do to you, Zhang Tianshi?  I'm not an 'outsider'. I'm qualified to listen to what you and I have to say, right?"

    After being silent for a long time, Zhang Tianshi finally nodded, looked at Xiao Xia deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Yes."

    Xiao Xia smiled bitterly.  He could feel that there were many things in Zhang Tianshi's eyes.  But he could only smile bitterly.

    "Well, let's get back to the subject. We don't have much time. Let's take this opportunity to settle down all the important things." Nangong Wuji took a deep breath. Although the expression on his face was still casual, there was still a bit of solemnity hidden deep in his eyes.  "But I also want to ask in advance, your decision. Does it really represent Longhu Mountain's decision?"

    "Yes." Zhang Tianshi answered affirmatively, with a majestic tone, just like an emperor's confidence in his own territory.

    "Okay." Nangong Wuji nodded.  "Then the imperial court and the Shadow Guards must control their positions in the future. Are they willing?" After a pause, Nangong Wuji added: "Of course, we will not move the position of Heavenly Master, then we must  It¡¯s the position of a member of the Zhang family.¡±

    After just a short thought, Zhang Tianshi nodded: "They will be willing. Even if they are not willing, I can make them willing."

    ? ###

    In the distance, in a dark and lightless basement, Deacon Tang was listening carefully with his eyes closed.  around him.  There were dozens of polished plates that were shiny and as light as paper, but these plates were not used to hold things.  They were all hanging on the wall, and there were faint and strange sounds coming from the plates.

    "Found it." Deacon Tang's eyes suddenly opened, and a light shone in the dark basement.  He held a small ball with his fingers and placed it in the center of a certain plate. The small ball instantly turned into a small cloud pattern and flashed across the plate. Then the subtle sound on the plate became louder.  .

    "They will be willing, even if they are not willing. I can also make them willing." It is slightly hazy and deformed, but Zhang Tianshi's majestic voice and ups and downs of the tone.  It can still make people know it as soon as they hear it.

    "Huh? Is it really useful? I can really hear it here. It is indeed Zhang Yuanling's experienced voice. I didn't expect that this mechanism is really unique. It is somewhat extraordinary." A voice sounded from behind Deacon Tang.

    "Well, this is almost the only way to overhear their conversation." Another more powerful, steady and mature voice sounded.  "Zhang Yuanling's own cultivation level is not considered to be top-notch, but after all, he is sitting in the position of Heavenly Master. He is willing to take precautions. Under the forbidden law of Yiju Shenqi, any spells and Taoist magic within a hundred feet cannot be evaded. No matter how invisible a master is, it will be difficult for him to hide himself.  Within nearly twenty feet. Only this mechanism technique, which does not rely on Taoist spells at all, can hide it from him."

    "Hehe, Zhang Yuanling and Nangong Wuji thought this was a good place to meet and discuss. It is difficult to get close to the crowd, and the shadow-shirted guards can easily control the scene and will not attract attention. The only few people who can inquire about the information are sensible.  It's dangerous. There are also mechanisms that block the view and cover up the sound of the mechanism. From every angle, it is foolproof, but we didn't expect that it would play into our hands. It was the mechanisms in every corner that were sending us sounds right under their noses.  "

    "Well, but the most important thing is that they didn't expect that there would be people who knew the interests and benefits of doing things under their noses."

    "Hehe, but it doesn't mean that people from the Tang family are the most difficult to deal with., the most loyal?  Why would someone from the Tang family do this for us behind their backs?  "

    "Because the people of the Tang family are also human beings." Deacon Tang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. He did not look back at the two people behind him. He just looked at the silver plate in front of him with an expressionless face, and his voice was indifferent and calm, showing fatigue.  "And because you are willing to pay thirty thousand taels of silver. For a person who can only live in the periphery in his middle age, but needs to consider the future for his children, this is a hundred times more than the family salary and far more than  The family is more useful. These mechanisms have been prepared by Shenjitang to monitor my family, but I just misappropriated them first. It is very easy and convenient."

    "Haha, so money is a very useful thing. It can always make many difficult things easy and convenient. It's the same for everyone, right?"

    "This was not originally intended for many people to eavesdrop on, so there is only one spiritual light charm used to amplify the sound. You listen to what you want to hear, and I will see if there is any movement from others." Deacon Tang stepped forward.  , putting his ear against another plate on the wall.

    ? ###

    At this time, Mingyue, who was walking leisurely on the corridor of the agency, suddenly felt that there was something strange about the agency in front of her.

    Of course Mingyue doesn¡¯t understand mechanisms. Whether it was her before or now, she has no interest in these wood, stone and dead objects, let alone any research on them.  But she still felt that there was something strange about the mechanism she just passed.

    This is a disc mounted on a hill-like mechanism, some of which look like a huge bowl, and some of which look like an inverted umbrella without ribs.  Mingyue couldn't tell what this mechanism was used for. In fact, she couldn't tell what all the mechanisms here were used for. If she just looked at it with her eyes, this big bowl seemed to be just a part of the larger mechanism behind it.  The parts are not surprising. Among the mechanisms piled up like a hill, there are countless things more bizarre than this big bowl.  Needless to say, Yue, including Xiaoxia, Tianhe Ghost, Nangong Wuji and Ling Wusheng, didn't care about these weird-shaped woods and stones at all.

    ¡°But Mingyue felt that there was something strange about this mechanism, she didn¡¯t just see it with her eyes, she felt it.

    As one of the fundamental magical powers of Buddhism, ¡®His Mind Power¡¯ is far more magical than ordinary innate Taoism. Even Monk Chixia has not fully understood it. Mingyue, who directly inherited the magical power through the relics, can only use it according to instinct.  And when she came out of the Glazed Tower, she remembered that she knew a lot of things, and her mind was no longer as pure as before. The sensitivity of this magical power also dropped a lot, but this still did not prevent her from vaguely feeling this strange  The large bowl-shaped mechanism reveals a hint of 'thought' of prying eyes.

    Although it is very weak and the feeling disappears quickly, it is definitely someone spying on this place through this mechanism.

    ?? Knocked on the wall behind the big bowl and felt it carefully. It was not that anyone was hiding inside. This big bowl was probably just a trap for peeping.  Frowning and thinking for a while, Mingyue couldn't understand how these dead wood and stone objects could be used to spy, but this did not prevent her from feeling a strange and uneasy aura.

    After taking a closer look at this weird big bowl, Ming Yue turned around and quickly walked towards the way she came from.  (To be continued)
