Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 936 Taoist priest goes down the mountain?

After the Tianzong disciples finished speaking, they left in a hurry to inquire about Xu Yanzi's instructions.

After a while, he came back.

"Uncle Master, the Renzong did not receive the letter, but the leader Xiaoyaozi just came down the mountain with a group of disciples."

"Xiaoyaozi has come down the mountain?" Xuyanzi's tone was rare, and he murmured a little doubtfully, and then asked the disciple who was running errands, "Did you throw away the letter just now?"

"No." The disciple shook his head, "I'm going now."

Xu Yanzi stretched out his hand and said, "Forget it, just give it to me."

"Oh." The disciple handed over the letter very honestly, and he didn't mind that his master uncle was too busy.

Xu Yanzi took the letter and waved it casually, indicating that he could leave.

The Tianzong disciple nodded and walked away without worrying about this matter.

Xu Yanzi sat alone in the quiet room, thinking whether to ask Junior Uncle Bei Mingzi what he meant, or...ask Junior Sister Xiaomeng?

Although Xiaomeng is almost in seclusion, the Taoists in this world are not really cultivating immortals. They still have communication with the outside world, but they just don't like to talk to others.

Xu Yanzi thought for a moment and felt that if he did this, he might be ignored by both his master and his disciple, so he decided to give up the idea of ​​looking for them.

Although almost no one in Tianzong has that kind of unnecessary self-esteem, there is no need to take the initiative to make yourself uncomfortable.

After getting up and leaving the quiet room, Xuyanzi walked quickly towards the back hill.

Taiyi Mountain is hundreds of feet high. The so-called back mountain is also a huge area, even if Tianzong only occupies half of it.

This area is mainly used for planting and accommodation, but a small part of the high ground is a good place for long-term retreat, which is remote and quiet.

The place where Beimingzi lived in seclusion and the place where Xiaomeng retreated were both in that area.

However, Xu Yanzi was not looking for the master and disciple at this time, but... another person.

After walking twists and turns along the mountain road for a long time, Xu Yanzi finally arrived at his destination, a small mountain forest, with a single-family cabin vaguely visible in the forest.

Walking to the front of the house, Xu Yanzi did not go in, but stood outside and shouted, "Xiao Ling!"

After a few breaths, the door opened, and a young man with blue hair came out. After seeing the person clearly, he immediately clasped his hands and saluted, "Uncle Xuyanzi."

Seeing the young man in front of him who had become calm and taciturn, and no longer talkative as before, Xu Yanzi felt a little regretful in his heart, but he just smiled and said, "Xiao Ling, there is something I should tell you." I’ll do it for you.”

At this time, Xiao Ling is far more mature than the half-grown child in the past, both in terms of temperament and appearance.

Regarding the task that Xu Yanzi planned to assign to him, he replied calmly with a smile on his face, "Uncle, just ask."

"Haha..." Xu Yanzi nodded slightly, reached out and took out the letter from his arms, and handed it over, "Maybe you will be interested in this matter."

Xiao Ling took the letter and read it with some confusion, but the confusion on his face did not subside after reading the content, but became more intense.

"Anti-Qin forces...Uncle Master, it seems that our Tianzong doesn't need to get involved in this kind of thing, right?"

For now, the relationship between Tianzong and the Empire is relatively close. After all, it is widely rumored that Master Beimingzi of Tianzong has a good personal relationship with the Imperial Master.

Xu Yanzi did not answer, but asked, "Are you interested in going out for a walk?"

"But I..." Xiaoling looked hesitant and responded with a hesitant look on his face, "...it's better to stay on the mountain."

"Your heart doesn't belong to this mountain now, so why bother?" Xu Yanzi stood with his hands behind his hands and smiled lightly, "Why don't you take this opportunity to go down the mountain for a walk."

"Since you have the imperial master to clean up the mess for you, you don't have to worry too much about what happened back then." Xiao Ling's expression was a little relaxed. It was obvious that he had this intention, but he still hesitated and said, "But to participate in this kind of gathering... "

Xu Yanzi replied nonchalantly, "It's just a gathering of Jianghu. Why can't I, the Tianzong, participate?"

"As for the thoughts and actions of other forces participating in the meeting that they should not have, that is their business."

"The arena is not a temple."

The officials of the imperial court and the rebels are getting closer. Needless to say, there will be consequences if there is evidence, but if there is no evidence... 80% will not be good, but the Jianghu sect is different.

If the empire intends to attack Tianzong, then no matter how clearly you are separated from the anti-Qin forces, you should take action or take action. If it is unintentional, as long as Tianzong does not clearly rebel, everything will be fine. It's amazing that you don't like me.

Anyway, they are just casual people, and they are not rushing to ask the empire to govern the country according to Taoist principles, so why not!

Hearing what Xu Yanzi said, Xiaoling couldn't help but squeeze the hand holding the letter tightly, nodded and said, "In that case... thank you, uncle, for making it happen."

Xu Yanzi waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be so phony, and finally warned, "The big man from the Mo family should have just started planning this matter. If he really wants to completely promote this matter, it will probably take some time, so you can sort it out first. By the way, let’s think about what to do after going down the mountain.”

"As for when to go down the mountain...when you think the time is right, just leave on your own."

After saying that, Xu Yanzi turned around and left without waiting for Xiao Ling to reply.

After Xiaoling watched Xu Yanzi go away, his eyes returned to the letter in his hand, but his eyes gradually became distracted, revealing extreme confusion.

Several years have passed since the incident at the Luoshengtang of the Yin Yang Family in the past, when his identity was exposed, and Gu Xun rescued him and sent him back to Taiyi Mountain in a critical moment.

He almost always stayed in the mountains to practice alone, rarely interacting with other people. However, after practicing for so many years, his heart could never really calm down.

Just like Xu Yanzi said, he still does not belong to this mountain now. As for whether he will belong to this mountain in the future... it is hard to say, it is possible.

Now he was going down the mountain again, but besides attending the anti-Qin gathering, he didn't know what to do.

"Alas..." With a sigh, Xiao Ling temporarily suppressed her thoughts and returned to the house.

Anyway, time is not urgent, just think about it slowly.

………………

Empire, Shu County, in the Minshan Mountains.

Meng Tian and Gu Xun climbed up a high mountain near Shushan together.

The purpose, of course, is that Meng Tian wants to have a commanding overview of the terrain of Shushan, and have a clearer understanding of the enemy's situation so that he can formulate appropriate tactics.

Gu Xun followed to join in the fun, but Yan Lingji was too lazy to climb the mountain and did not follow.

Gu Xun walked beside Meng Tian, ​​reaching out to catch an emerald-blue hummingbird as if no one else was watching, and reached out to untie the secret message tied to it.

Meng Tian looked on from the side, not showing any surprise.

Nowadays, almost all the powerful forces in the world know that quicksand can use flying birds to send messages, and almost all news can be sent to any corner of the empire within three days.

Meng Tian...of course it's not just Meng Tian, ​​there are a lot of other people who are very coveted by this, but unfortunately there is no way.

Unless... they go to dig the corner of the quicksand, but regardless of the success rate, the probability of a dog leash is really too high.

They dare not get involved in things that even the emperor is unwilling to do.
