Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Although Li Lijun was not familiar with those two Shangqing disciples, but they were both practitioners in the small world of Xuantang and opposed to the True Immortal Temple. She still hoped that they would leave safely.

Speaking of which, where is the resident of the Shangqing Sect?

After the two Shangqing disciples left the Xiuzhen Market in Hu County, they fled towards Taibai Mountain, which is also part of the Qinling Mountains, and its location is relatively west.After leaving Taibai Mountain, did they go west and leave the pass, or did they turn south and enter Shu?

The Shangqing resident should not be too far from Guanzhong, right?If it was too far away, why did the two disciples go to Guanzhong to collect cultivation resources?This is the site of Zhenxian Temple. In comparison, are places like Shuzhong or Jiangnan more friendly to them?
Shopkeeper Zheng of Fuluxing once mentioned in the chat that there are several small and medium sects in Sichuan, and there are several families of cultivating immortals, and the Zheng family is one of them.

Taoist Xuanying's disciple, Guanming, mentioned that there were casual practitioners from Qilu and Jiangnan who came to ask his master for pills.There are not many casual cultivators in these two areas, but there are a few immortal cultivating families on the overseas islands, and there are some products on the islands, which can be exchanged with the Central Plains cultivation world.

However, these are too far away.Li Lijun quickly put his thoughts back, and turned his gaze back to the rat king in front of him.

She asked the Mouse King: "The Taoist priest who wants to kill you, do you know where he came from?"

The Rat King shook his head, it was also a little confused.It has never seen this Taoist priest before, and it does not know where he came from.Although Taibai Mountain has some cultivation resources, the practitioners who come here every year to collect herbs and mines are relatively regular, and occasionally make deals with these local little monsters, and they know each other well.For example, the robber who robbed the disciples of the Qing Dynasty had committed crimes in the Taibai Mountain area before, so some local goblins recognized him.But the Taoist priest, the rat king had never seen it before, and the way he shouted and killed him at every turn was too scary.

The Rat King can only provide one clue, that is, the Taoist robe on the Taoist priest is more decent, which makes him look like a fairy.This is not the temperament that any wild Taoist priest can have, and it probably has some background.

By the way, after the Rat King was seriously injured and escaped, he once went to an old demon with the highest cultivation level in Taibai Mountain to ask for help.It was an old golden monkey, said to be more than 300 years old, well-informed and capable.But after hearing the Rat King's request for help, it directly refused, and told the Rat King to leave as soon as possible, not to stay in Taibai Mountain, so as not to attract Taoists to hunt down and kill other little demons.

At that time, the old golden monkey said this: "That Taoist has an extraordinary background, and there is Jindan Zhenjun behind him! His family is the most arrogant in Guanzhong, who dares to fight against them?! If the gold is gone, it will be gone. Life matters ,Where there is life, there is hope!"

The Rat King was hit hard and walked away twitching.The old golden monkey specially sent two monkey grandchildren to escort it out of the mountain, because it was afraid that it would be attached to its hometown and would not leave.

When the Rat King talked about this now, tears were still falling down his face: "I have always been very respectful to the Monkey Lord, and I honor him with gifts every year. This year I am not filial outside, and he wants to drive me away!" So heartless!It's so sad!
The two nuns Cui and Lu, together with Shi Qing and Qiu Xiang, were comforting the Rat King, but Erhong raised his head and looked at Li Lijun: "Little lady, is this Taoist..."

Li Lijun understood what she meant, and nodded: "It should be. In Guanzhong, is there any family that is more arrogant than Zhenxianguan? His family's disciples are uneven, and not all of them are decent. "If you recall that the two disciples of the Qing Dynasty passed by Taibai Mountain two days before King Shu came home, and four or five days later, this Taoist appeared at the place where they had fought with others. There is really no difference between these two things. Is it related?
Not long after the disciples of the Shangqing escaped from the cultivation market, there was a wave of thunder and calamity in the market. The people of the True Immortal Temple first hid for two days, and only Guan Zhenren and Xiao Du were responsible for the aftermath, and then sent Ge Zhenren To repair the talisman array in the market space, no one else showed up, and only Daoist Xuanying, a junior in Qi refining, was the representative.But if they knew that the disciples of the Shangqing Dynasty had appeared in the market and were injured and fled, would they chase after them and cause trouble?
It's hard to say.

Li Lijun kept this matter in his heart for the time being, and turned around to the Rat King and said: "You don't have to be too sad, that Monkey Lord may not be ruthless to you. You must know that the style of Zhenxian Temple has always been very domineering. Then If the Taoist is really a disciple of Zhenxianguan, how could he let you go easily if he made up his mind to kill you? He may be temporarily attracted by the collection in your cave and ignore you for a while. But if you don’t leave, everyone If there is even a little rumor in his ears, he may kill him. Whoever takes you in may be killed. You have been in Taibai Mountain for many years, and you are not a bad goblin. You must have a few good friends If there are demons who take you in with good intentions, but harm them instead, you may not be able to escape. Now that the Monkey King asked you to leave Taibai Mountain, the Taoist can't find you, so naturally he won't pursue it. He It’s impossible to pass by there without incident, you must have your own business to do? As long as he leaves, the little demons on Taibai Mountain will be safe, and you can hope to escape safely.”

The Mouse King gradually stopped crying, his small eyes were thoughtful: "Really? It turns out that Monkey Lord is doing it for my own good..."

Whether it's for its own good or not, the matter is over.

Li Lijun said to the Rat King: "Now that you have defected to me with Mother Lu, you must have made up your mind to live by my side in the future?"

The Mouse King came back to his senses and nodded his head: "I have long said that I want to talk to you, little lady, but you refused to want me in the past and insisted that I go back to my hometown and think carefully before making a decision. Now my family No more, even if I go back to Liujiazhuang, I won’t be able to help the folks, instead I will make them complain..."

Li Lijun interrupted it with a smile: "I believe what you said is true. It's just that the folks who complained didn't know where you were, so those words might just be casual. This year's drought came suddenly, and many people were caught off guard. Well, they even complained about the land master, but they didn't miss the offering. What's the point if you wait a few words? If you are willing to show up and let them know that you are back, someone will come to offer the offering right away. I will never openly despise you for anything."

The Mouse King blinked his small eyes, and a little bit of hope was born in his heart again: "Little lady, what do you mean, the folks still look towards me? It's not that they really dislike me?!"

Nanny Lu laughed beside her and said, "Even if they don't dislike you, it's useless for you to stay there, and you want them to share a share of the meager food to serve you, but you can't even help dig the ground and loosen the soil." If you can’t do it, why bother? If you stay here with us, you won’t be hungry after all. You’ll have to take care of your injury for a few months, and when your injury heals, there will still be room for you in the future!”

The Mouse King nodded quickly: "Ah Lu is right! I listen to Alu!"

Nanny Lu smiled happily.

Mother Cui asked Li Lijun: "What's the plan, little lady? Do you want to keep the king in the yard? Or let him go to the cave in the back mountain to raise him?"

Li Lijun waved his hand: "What are you doing so far away? It's inconvenient to take care of. Now I know how to open up a small space, let's make a nest for it to practice." , don't think she doesn't know the little thoughts of the people around her.

However, she still didn't intend to form a spirit beast contract with the Mouse King, so she pointed to Erhong specifically: "Go and form a contract with the Mouse King, and from now on, it will be your spiritual pet."
