Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 303 Complaints
With the guidance of Taoist Xuanying, Li Lijun successfully entered the range of Houtu Temple, and walked into the narrow front yard in front of the main hall.

She quietly took a look inside the main hall, and found that the statue of Empress Dowager Earth inside had not been damaged, but many tiles had fallen from the ceiling, and the ground was covered with dust and earthen tiles.She suspected that there was a hole in the roof of the main hall, but it was already late in the day, but it was the end of the month, and the moon was dim, so she couldn't see it for the time being.

She blinked her eyelids twice, and found that the light shining on the ground of the main hall was much dimmer than before. It seems that the repeated lightning strikes the night before really had a great impact on the small spirit veins here.

Taoist Xuanying didn't know what Li Lijun was doing behind him, but just waved his sleeves to clear out a small, slightly cleaner space in the front yard, and moved two slightly larger stones at the corner of the yard to serve as seats. It's just a chair.He greeted Li Lijun: "Junior Sister Li, come and sit down quickly. It's hard for you to think about being a brother, and I think you have left the market a long time ago, and you don't know what happened next."

Li Lijun closed his vision, sat down, and told the lie to Mrs. Wang and Shopkeeper Zheng again, saying that he had listened to the words of his elders and came back to watch the fun, but he didn't grasp the distance properly, and almost Being swept in by Lei Jie, he had to escape in embarrassment.She also mentioned the incident where she met two groups of shopkeepers in the market who were robbed. She didn't mention Mrs. Wang's name, but only vaguely said that she was a certain shopkeeper, but introduced the misfortune of shopkeeper Zheng in detail.

Anyway, shopkeeper Zheng has already recovered the stolen magic weapon, and she is not worried about any negative impact this will have on the former, and she can use this to explain the reason why she appeared in Houtu Temple: "I didn't have many I thought about it, but I heard that the market area was severely damaged, and I don’t know if you escaped in time, Senior Brother Xuanying. I was a little worried, so I simply signed a long-term contract with Master Zheng and the others, saying that I would accompany the talisman Those who are willing to come back to see the situation, and also inquire about the safety of Senior Brother Xuanying."

Taoist Xuanying was very moved: "Junior Sister Li, you and I just met by chance, I never thought that in such a critical situation, you could still think about your brother's safety..."

Li Lijun said that since she came to Guanzhong, she has been fighting alone and suffered a lot, but after getting to know Taoist Xuanying, he has always taken good care of her, just like a kind brother.She is not an ungrateful person, how can she leave him alone?Although she can't help with other things, she still has to find a way to confirm his safety...

After saying this, Li Lijun took advantage of the situation to inquire: "Senior Brother Xuanying, what happened the night before? How did you...become like this?!"

Taoist Xuanying touched his scorched and blood-stained face, his half-burned hair, and the dirty Taoist robe with several holes on his body, and couldn't help feeling sad for a moment: "Junior Sister Li, for brother... ...bitter!"

Taoist Xuanying felt that he had been submerged in the bitter water for a few days. If his father did not love his mother, if his luck was a little bit worse, his life would have been lost.

He used to think that he had his elders in Zhenxianguan, and his brothers took good care of him. Even if he was stationed in Xianyang, it would be no big deal. He had no shortage of resources, and occasionally he could help his brothers, in exchange for They send themselves some merits that cannot be obtained outside.There is no control from the top, and there is no need to strictly abide by the rules and regulations. There are also well-behaved apprentices. All the practitioners in Guanzhong are very polite to him. He doesn't have to go out to take risks. Still had a good time.

But now, after experiencing a golden core thunder disaster, he realized that his own cultivation was not enough to protect himself, and all of this was false.

Because he is a disciple of Zhenxianguan, he didn't escape the old temple early like other shopkeepers, and he still stayed behind to meet Zhenren Du and his party with Guan Zhenren.He thought that his teachers and brothers would follow, but only Du Zhenren's disciples and grandchildren came.He inquired with a familiar disciple, only to find out that his master had recently retreated, and his master had traveled far away with his elder brothers, and the remaining masters, uncles and brothers were all refining qi, so what was the use?

Zhenren Du had been suppressing his cultivation for a few days, but he couldn't do it now, and he almost immediately started to save the calamity as soon as he arrived at the old temple.Guan Zhenren and Xiao Du Zhenren took their disciples to escape, and he was almost left behind.It was he who had the cheek to call Guan Zhenren a few times before the latter came back and took him by the back collar for a ride.

But even so, when they stopped by the river ten miles away, Guan Zhenren must give priority to protecting his disciples.When the thunder tribulation landed, the range was wider than they expected. Taoist Xuanying hurriedly sacrificed all the magic weapons for protection on his body, but still got hit a few times, no one cared about him at all.He ate all the available panacea on his body, and then desperately dug a hole to hide in the ground, so as not to turn into a piece of coke.

Finally survived the whole thunder tribulation, Guan Zhenren and Xiao Du Zhenren took a group of apprentices and grandchildren to collect the body of Du Zhenren, and cried for a while, the two real people began to scold each other again, accusing each other, and the others stood in line to persuade each other. No one cared about healing Taoist Xuanying, an "outsider".And at this time, he just received a letter from his senior brother, telling him to stay as far away as possible, because Du Zhenren is said to have done something against God's will, the Golden Core Tribulation will be extremely difficult, and the scope of the Thunder Tribulation will be extremely difficult. It will be wider, and the scale of thunder tribulation when other foundation-building real people formed alchemy cannot be used as a reference.

But this letter was completely meaningless to Taoist Xuanying at that time.

With snot and tears, he threw the letter to Li Lijun to read: "Junior Sister Li, look, the date and time of writing the letter are also specially marked on this letter... Isn't this place without 300 taels of silver?! They used to When did you write this letter?! The senior brother wanted to pretend that he sent me the letter before the thunder disaster. It was only because Du Zhenren’s thunder disaster came too fast that the letter was not delivered to me in time, so that I would be considered dead. , he can also explain to the masters. But even if he asks the disciples of Master Du to send a message, I will not end up in the current situation! If I had known that Master Du’s Thunder Tribulation would be so powerful, I would have run away Far away, I won’t be stupid enough to stay and watch with Guan Zhenren and the others! Even if my seniors are so perfunctory to me, how dare I expect Guan Zhenren and the others to take care of me?!”

Taoist Xuanying really broke his heart.He just sent a few bottles of pills to this brother who wrote the letter a few days ago, and he was so generous at that time!He never raised the price with his brother at all.Unexpectedly, they didn't know each other well.Obviously, he only needed to send a letter from Xiao Du's disciple to remind him, but the other party waited until the situation passed before adding the letter, and pretended that he was too unlucky to receive the letter in time.

Taoist Xuanying is now physically and mentally exhausted, his wounds are painful, and he is still very wronged.After he returned to the old temple, Immortal Guan and Immortal Du took people to attend to the funeral for Immortal Du. The two real men sent by Zhenxian Temple were ordered to repair the market space, but they were actually behind Immortal Du. The inheritance came, and when he learned that all the things were taken away by Zhenren Du's old disciples, he got angry at Taoist Xuanying, blaming him for not keeping them.He was terribly wronged, as he was a small person at the fifth level of Qi refining, could he stop the two Foundation Establishment Masters from leaving? !

Now a Daoist Zhuji went back to Zhenxian Temple to file a complaint, and another Daoist Ge stayed to repair the space, and even blamed him for not being able to find a knowledgeable helper. He was really bitter!
Li Lijun listened to Taoist Xuanying's complaints, and responded from time to time, but focused on the letter in his hand.

So that's how it is... In the small world of Xuantang, the communication between practitioners used to be in this way...
