Chapter 375
Zi Zhuzi faced Yu Lie, and above her palm, there was a small flying insect buzzing in circles.
This object is exactly the breath-holding insect, also known as the sleepy insect, that the Lord of Black Water presented to Yu Lie back then. It can help Yu Lie hide his aura, making it extremely difficult for seventh-rank Taoist officials to find out.
When Yu Lie saw Zi Zhuzi's movements, how could he not know that his identity might have been discovered by Zi Zhuzi as early as when he was carrying the Anthropoid up the mountain.
"That's right, this woman is a sixth-rank Taoist priest, and the Anthropomorphic insect was given to me when the temple master was still a seventh-rank Taoist priest. It should be easy for this woman to spot this insect."
Thoughts in Yu Lie's mind were swaying, he bowed to Zizhuzi, and said in words: "It turns out that Master knew about this insect early on."
Zizhuzi smiled lightly, her eyes showed a complex expression, she smiled coldly, and said:
"Naturally, otherwise, would you really consider yourself a good person? You're just a small Taoist. Even if you know how to do poisonous kung fu, your talent is not bad, but you've been practicing poison kung fu for nearly a hundred years. There are not a few people who are better than you.
If you accept an excellent Daoer as soon as you see it, there should be many disciples under your sect long before you came. "
Although Zi Zhuzi's words sound reasonable, in fact, among the outstanding poisonous people she has seen over the years, Yu Lie is the one that suits her best.
This woman has always suspected that Yu Lie was specially trained by Heishuizi for her and sent here to be her apprentice.The reason for making such a statement now is just to stop Yu Lie from being too arrogant.
Yu Lie showed a look of hesitation and hesitation on his face. At this moment, he suddenly thought that he still had a token in his pocket that the Lord of Black Water had specially given him before he left.
The token looked like it was made of unusual materials, and it was obviously not a simple token, but Yu Lie didn't know what the purpose of this token was.
Now that Zi Zhuzi had revealed his identity, Yu Lie wondered whether he should take out the token and ask the other party what he thought, so that maybe it could further prove the relationship between him and the master of Heishui.
But when the words came to his lips, Yu Lie still held back.
"Although I have confessed to this woman right now, it is not advisable to have a shallow conversation."
In addition, Yu Lie is still a little speculative about the token in his hand. He suspects that this token is related to a sum of money left by the Lord of Blackwater, or the inheritance of the teacher.
Since Zi Zhuzi didn't take the initiative to raise this point, but only confirmed his identity through the Anthropomorphic worm, it's better for him to save his hand first, and don't do anything redundant, so as not to provoke Zi Zhuzi's covetousness, and cause troubles for nothing.
Zi Zhuzi on the opposite side looked at Yu Lie, thinking that the change on Yu Lie's face was because he was in a trance after learning so many things all of a sudden, and didn't pay much attention to it.
call!
Yu Lie took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked again:
"Dare to ask Master, since my lineage has such a past in the palace, Master Heishuizi has already left the Dao Palace when he was outside, and was even wanted by the Dao Court.
So how should I deal with myself in the palace, especially with Zhu Laozi's upcoming attack? "
Hearing these words, Zi Zhuzi restrained the smile on his face, and his expression became serious again.
She pondered for a while and squinted at Yu Lie: "According to what I know, are you going to hold a banquet in the city recently and invite guests to celebrate?"
Yu Lie nodded and replied, "Return to Master, that's right."
Zi Zhuzi said expressionlessly: "Although there is no conclusive evidence to prove it, Zhu Laozi will most likely lead his men to capture you in public when you hold a banquet and torture you in the palace.
And there is still a high chance that you will be left with a certain amount of time in the arena, allowing you to call the Dao over, or force you to use some life-saving things that the Dao bestowed on you, such as the token from last time. "
Yu Lie frowned, and he asked sincerely, "Why?"
Zi Zhuzi snorted coldly and said with a sneer:
"Naturally, the soldiers came to cover the water and the earth. Since he wants to humiliate you and me, the master and the disciple, in public, then I will give him a chance. And when I see it, is it because I was stepped on by him, or was he torn off by me? face."
With a few words, Zi Zhuzi asked Yu Lie to come over and explained in detail in Yu Lie's ears.
After listening to Zizhu's daughter-in-law's confession, Yu Lie instantly settled down and showed a look of excitement.
On the contrary, Zizhuzi saw Yu Lie's face so excited, she frowned and said:
"But having said that, after this time, no matter whether you win or lose, you are stepping on a Taoist priest.
Although this move can make your reputation in the palace city even higher, it is also a poor Taoist who roasted you on the stove. It will definitely lead to subsequent suppression by the Taoist priests, and other Taoist priests in the palace will also regard you as a Those who commit crimes will be excluded from you. "
Zi Zhuzi explained: "You have to be mentally prepared."
The excitement on Yu Lie's face dissipated, but he didn't worry too much in his heart, instead he immediately said:
"The master has something to do, the disciple will do his best, and this matter is fine!
The big deal is that after the matter is over, the disciple will leave the hidden palace immediately and start traveling around the world, just to avoid the disputes here, and it will not be too late to return after ten years. "
Zi Zhuzi sighed softly on his face, but also said aloud:
"That's right, leaving immediately and staying safe outside is indeed the best solution. But in this way, you may not be able to participate in the apprenticeship ceremony in a few months, and the status of you and me as master and apprentice will also be reduced." For the time being, it won’t be recognized by the palace.”
Regarding this point, Yu Lie showed a gloomy look on his face, and said in a weak voice:
"That's all."
But in his heart, Yu Lie breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he has already settled with Zi Zhuzi, Yu Lie found that he is firmly on board the thief ship, but whether it is his relationship with the Lord of Heishui or his relationship with Zi Zhuzi, right now it is only the person involved. Both parties knew about it, but it was not made public.
Once the incident happened in that generation, it really provoked a thunderous attack from the Taoist Palace and the Taoist Court, Yu Lie still had a glimmer of hope to find.
After all, officially, he does not belong to the nine clans of his generation.But if the master-student relationship is made public, once Heishuizi and Zizhuzi are implicated in the nine clans, then the rest of him will basically have to be buried with him, or be a blatant Taoist thief.
Therefore, not participating in the apprentice acceptance ceremony is not only not a bad thing for Yu Lie, but a good thing, and it is even what he wishes for right now!
Anyway, Zi Zhuzi will give the benefits that apprentices should get.
And in the court of the Taoist temple.
Zi Zhuzi saw the gloomy look on Yu Lie's face, but a trace of guilt arose in her heart:
"In the past few years, although this son has been quite rude on the mountain, he is indeed hard-working and diligent in his work. Now because of me, not only has he been targeted by Zhu Laozi, but he has also been forced to rush I am ashamed to leave the hidden palace and go to the outside world..."
The desire to make up for Yu Lie suddenly rose in Zi Zhuzi's heart.
Regarding the life-saving things, she has already made plans, but as for other compensations, she hasn't figured it out yet.
So after thinking for a while, Zi Zhuzi simply said:
"Disciple, I don't know that you are in the palace, but if you have anything to eat and drink, or what you want to do but have not done, you can tell me now, and I will take care of it for you."
When Yu Lie heard this, his eyes lit up slightly.
Unceremoniously, he blurted out: "Yes.
Since the disciple wants to travel far, it is better for the master to give the disciple the wine worm, which is also convenient for the disciple to practice.If it doesn't work, why don't you just lend it to the disciples for a few days, and if you can improve your cultivation level, you can improve your skills! "
All of a sudden, the originally calm Zizhu female dao froze, and she gave Yu Lie a hard look, and the guilt in her heart subsided immediately, replaced by a surge of anger.
The female Taoist immediately wanted to reprimand Yu Lie severely, and even hang him up and beat him.
But because of the internal reasons, it is not convenient for Zi Zhuzi to explain to outsiders, so she had to grit her teeth secretly, swallow her anger, and said in a cold voice:
"This is impossible. You have just broken through, how can you use foreign objects to speed up your cultivation.
Bastard!Could it be that Pindao just told you a few days ago that you have to polish the basics, and you forgot all about it? ! "
Yu Lie looked gloomy.
Zi Zhuzi snorted and wanted to leave with a flick of his sleeves, but he still suppressed his thoughts and said, "Change something."
Seeing this, Yu Lie could only think about it, and immediately thought of something, he saluted and asked for instructions:
"Returning to Master, I still have one or two friends in the palace. They have a close personal relationship with me, and I am afraid they will be implicated by him. Now both of them are just Taoist disciples. I also ask Master to protect and protect you during the time when I am out." some."
Zi Zhuzi looked relaxed, and replied: "It's easy, tell me their names."
Seeing her, Yu Lie agreed immediately, feeling a little happy, and immediately told the names and identities of Luo Sen and Miao Mu, and also mentioned the Yu family in Diving County.
Zi Zhuzi suddenly heard that there were two female Taoist disciples, and she was still living in the same room as her disciple, she frowned slightly, her face became unhappy, and she said:
"I didn't expect that you, a boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes on the outside, is actually quite a lot of tricksy people. I think I still have some friendship with you, and the two girls are also unlucky, so I agreed.
As for the Yu family, according to the rules in the world of mountains and seas, except for the Dao Court, all Dao disputes should not involve the family.As long as you don't pay too much attention to the family and expose your weaknesses, no one will go all the way to get involved in trouble just to vent your anger.Of course, Pindao will also secretly pay attention to one or two. "
After finishing speaking, the female Taoist waved her hand: "Go ahead, I am exhausted."
Although Yu Lie looked unhappy when he saw the woman, everything was over. Even though Yu Lie still felt sorry for not being able to get the wine bug, he was relieved in his heart.
Yu Lie didn't dare to bother the female priest any more, so he could only quickly say: "Yes, the disciple will leave."
After saluting, he walked backwards for a few steps before lowering his head and turning to leave.
When he got out of the Amethyst Taoist Temple, Yu Lie's face remained calm, but when he called out Yaba and rode on it, he felt chilly all over when he was blown by the wind.
Only then did Yu Lie realize that his back was already drenched with a layer of cold sweat.
Yu Lie rode on Yaba's back, and when he left Zishan again, he said in a low voice:
"Everything is fate, nothing can be controlled by others."
Facing being involved in disputes at the Taoist level, and there are even more Taoist-level figures above him, even if he can handle it well, he is really trembling inside and feels a heavy sense of powerlessness.
Waiting until he returned to the gate of the small courtyard in the palace, Yu Lie's complexion was still cloudy.
At this time, both Luo Sen and Miao Mu happened to be at home.They were in the courtyard, working together to check the list of gifts from the previous days, and preparing invitations for upcoming banquets and other chores.
When the two heard the door opening, they immediately looked up.
They didn't know the reason, but when they saw Yu Lie came back, their faces were filled with joy, and they all bowed:
"Brother, come quickly and have a look, is there something missing in the list that my sister and I made?"
Yu Lieqiang nodded with a smile, walked over to have a look, glanced at it casually, then saluted and said: "It's quite right, thank you for your hard work."
The name and position on the invitation list are clear and complete, and the number of restaurant floors and seating order for each guest are also very particular.Obviously, Lawson and Miao Mu put a lot of thought into this matter.
Both women breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile:
"That's good, that's good. We'll check it again, and we'll send the invitation later."
"This banquet is the first time that Lang Jun invites guests in the palace. This is very important. From now on, these guests will all be Lang Jun's connections.
By the way, sir, your old acquaintance in Heishui Town, my sister and I also invited you together, and specifically stated that no gift money will be accepted. "
They spoke happily, one sentence at a time.
At this moment, the grass and trees in the small courtyard are lush, the weather is clear, and Qian laughs constantly.
Whether it is Lawson or Miaomu, their faces are full of expectations for the future.
Only Yu Lie looked at the long list of guests, although he smiled lightly on his face, but when he picked up the list, he actually sneered and thought to himself:
"Seeing him entertaining guests, seeing his building collapse...I don't know how many people on this list are brave enough to keep in touch with me after this banquet."
But even afterward, there was no one on the list, and Yu Lie didn't care about it.
What he cares most about is that he must maintain his upward momentum, continue to increase his mana, and improve his realm!
It must be known that he won these banquets with his mana. As long as he still has his mana and returns arbitrarily the next day, there will naturally be no less "friends" at that time.
So Yu Lie bid farewell to Luo Sen and Miao Mu, and then returned to his room, began to adjust his breath and nourish his energy, and comprehend the five poisons spell given by Zi Zhuzi.
At this moment, his heart is filled with the desire to become stronger and transform.
If he is also a Taoist priest or a Taoist teacher, Zhu Laozi and Huigu are both no more than dry ears in the tomb.
