From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 431 Identity Exposed
"You want me to go to the back hill to meet him? Or you want me to be alone?!"

Liu Ming's face changed drastically, and he turned to look at the judges' seats. Sure enough, Li Yang and Chi Yanhong, who were just on the judges' seats, were nowhere to be seen.

Baiyun Square was still in chaos, with people laughing, crying and shouting. Most of the Taoist disciples were young boys and girls who had just finished the college entrance examination. For young people, this large-scale event would be a beautiful memory of their youth.

After Song Ling and Li Mengyuan left, Liu Ming stood in the bustling crowd. He did not feel happy at all, but just thought they were noisy.

"Ji, you asked me to go to the back hill alone? Why?"

"I know I'm handsome, but Li Zhenjun isn't bad either. There's no reason for him to be jealous of me..."

"That doesn't make sense. That doesn't make sense. That doesn't make sense."

Liu Ming muttered to himself, turning around in circles and not daring to take a step, his eyes occasionally looking in the direction of the back mountain of Baiyun Mountain.

It was late at night, and there was mist hanging over the mountain behind. The bright moonlight poured down on the mist, casting a hazy silver glow.

It is impossible to go. You will die if you try. If you go, you will really die.

With a determined heart, Liu Ming raised his head and looked around to the left. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he lowered his head and silently left the crowd, then ran down the mountain road.

I definitely can't go back to pack up my gold, silver, jewelry, backpack, etc. Who knows if a tight net has been set up in the dormitory now.

Liu Ming was panicking. As the new Venerable, he knew what happened to the previous Venerable. He was killed in front of him and not a single bone was left. The blood and flesh on the ground took the cleaning lady two days to clean up...

The Liu sect and Baiyun Mountain have a mortal feud.

Liu Ming did not dare to stop and walked out of Baiyun Taoist Temple. He stumbled several times and his clothes were scratched like a beggar.

Slowly moving out of Baiyun Square, Liu Ming looked back and saw that the top of Baiyun Mountain was shrouded in a silver mist, which looked like the miasma in the mountains of southern Xinjiang from a distance. Only in the place behind him, dozens of golden lights were occasionally running around in the dark night.

That is Baiyun Square, and now the disciples from Chunyang Hall and Yanfa Hall are still celebrating there.

When he opened his phone, he saw more than a dozen unread messages from his fellow disciples and roommates at Chunyang Palace, asking where he was.

He turned off the screen expressionlessly, removed the SIM card, then crushed the phone and threw it into the flower bed beside him.

"Is it over like this? I really don't want to let it go..."

"But I am different from you. I am a wanderer in this world. Although this mountain is beautiful, it does not belong to me."

Liu Ming no longer had a trace of smile on his face. He took another deep look at Baiyun Mountain. Liu Ming said nothing and walked alone on the dark and dark mountain road.

"Liu Ming, where are you going so late?"

A cold voice was heard, very light and faint, with a hint of doubt, as crisp as jade beads falling on a plate, slowly spreading in the night on the mountain.

Liu Ming was struck by lightning, and his body seemed to be immobilized by a spell, unable to move at all.

"I just heard Song Ling and the others say that Fellow Daoist Li from the back mountain wants to see you. Why are you still here?"

Forcefully forcing a smile, Liu Ming turned his head and looked at the cold female Taoist in green clothes with some helplessness.

"I heard that Li Zhenjun wanted to summon me, and I was very excited. However, I just finished a martial arts competition and my body was full of sweat and odor. I wanted to go back to the dormitory to take a shower and change into clean clothes... Taoist Master Yubao, what are you doing?"

"Yang Xinwu, Hu Chen's several disciples who were defending the ring were seriously injured. We plan to go to Qingnang Pavilion to find someone to treat them. At least we can't delay their return home."

Only then did Liu Ming realize that behind Yubao, there were several disciples carrying a stretcher, and Yang Xinwu and other seriously injured disciples were groaning on the stretchers.

"That's not right, Senior Brother Liu Ming, this road doesn't seem to lead back to Linlang Garden."

In Baiyun Taoist Temple, disciples who have not yet introduced Qi usually call disciples who have introduced Qi "senior brothers and sisters". A boy carrying a stretcher looked at the mountain road ahead with a puzzled tone.

"Oh, hahaha, really? It's too dark in this mountain, and I have a poor sense of direction, so I can't remember the way."

Liu Ming laughed and turned to leave.

"Hold on."

Yubao spoke up and called Liu Ming again.

"Do you have any other advice, Taoist Master Yubao?"

Liu Ming sighed inwardly and turned around impatiently.

It was a very soft voice. Before Liu Ming could come to his senses, a pair of green jade fingers gently pressed between his eyebrows.

"I don't know if it's because you just broke through the Qi Attraction and then fought with others one after another. At this moment, your Qi and blood are very agitated, and the condensed Qi is also hidden between your internal organs, and your thoughts are agitated... I will pass a spiritual energy to you to tidy up your body, so as to prevent you from going astray."

Yubao spoke seriously, pointed a finger at the center of Liu Ming's eyebrows, his eyes were as clear as water without any strange color.

Liu Ming's eyes widened and his breathing almost stopped.

Feeling uneasy, Liu Ming only felt an extremely gentle touch on the center of his eyebrows. The moment he was touched, a warm current flowed into his limbs and bones, spreading deep into his internal organs.

It was hard to describe how Liu Ming felt right now. The spiritual energy was like a gurgling stream, and between his mouth and nose, there was a faint orchid fragrance.

As his restless blood subsided, Liu Ming felt that his heart had never been so peaceful.

"Okay, that should be fine."

Yubao smiled softly, retracted his fingers and distanced himself from Liu Ming.

"You performed very well today. Even Zhao Ziyao and Wang Xin, the two lecturers from the Performance Hall, frequently talked about you in front of me. I said before that you have very good qualifications."

"Well, happy winter break and New Year, see you after the New Year."

Liu Ming was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses: "Master Yubao, you mean that you will stay in Baiyun Taoist Temple and not return to Yuanjun Temple in Yaji Mountain in Beijing?"

"Well, I watched the whole process of you defending the ring. I think that Baiyun Taoist Temple and Chunyang Temple still need me now."

Liu Ming stood there, seemingly struggling, and finally raised his head after a long time:

"Then Taoist Master Yubao, see you next year."

Yubao nodded towards Liu Ming, then called on several disciples to continue moving towards the Qingnang Temple.
-
In the past, when the disciples of Baiyun Taoist Temple looked at the back mountain of Baiyun Mountain, it seemed that the top of the mountain was always shrouded in an invisible layer of fog, and there was no rain even though the clouds were dense.

After washing and changing clothes, Liu Ming took the access card from Zhu Ling and stepped into the back mountain of Baiyun Mountain for the first time. When he got closer, he saw that the back mountain of Baiyun Mountain was almost completely blocked by thick clouds above the halfway point. The entire top of the mountain was like a dragon's gargle, with only the top half left, like a jade dragon hanging upside down, going straight into the sea of ​​clouds below. The rest of the scenery was all below the clouds and disappeared.

It is night time now, but logically speaking, these two should have no concept of day and night, right?
Liu Ming laughed at himself, the corners of the Baiyun Taoist robe distributed to him at the beginning of the school year fluttering in the wind.

Not sure if it was the effect of Yubao's spiritual energy, Liu Ming calmed down and sorted out a lot of things in his mind along the way.
First of all, I am just a newbie who has just started to draw in energy, not even to awaken my spirit. In the eyes of these two, I am just a slightly bigger ant. The medicine has really seen through my identity and is murderous, so it is impossible that they would go to the trouble of summoning me to the back mountain.

That would be such trouble. I heard that this Master Li got two new magic swords at Mount Longhu. They can really take someone's head from a thousand miles away.

Feeling that his life was safe, Liu Ming felt relieved and even straightened his back.

"dong dong dong"

I arrived at the Yuchan Palace and knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Liu Ming didn't dare to act rashly and just stood obediently outside the hall.

"come in."

The heavy palace door slowly opened by itself, and a stream of hot air came out from the palace, blowing on Liu Ming's face and almost making it impossible for him to open his eyes.

Liu Ming swallowed his saliva and without hesitation, stepped into the Yuchan Palace.

Well, at this moment he regretted it again.

Although according to common sense, these two people should not let me come here in the middle of the night to die, but what if they don't play by the rules? What if they are just so bored?

But it was too late to regret at this point, so Liu Ming gritted his teeth and walked deeper into the Yuchan Palace.

The center of the hall was filled with smoke. Master Chi was not there. Only a Taoist priest in a green robe was sipping tea and reading scriptures.

"Disciple Liu Ming from Chunyang Palace pays homage to Master Li!"

Liu Ming hurried over in two steps and before Li Yang could speak, he had already knelt on the ground and slid over.

Li Yang closed the book in his hand, raised his eyes, and looked down at His Highness Liu Ming indifferently.

"You performed well today. Even Zhu Ling and Wang Xin couldn't figure out the diagram of the Soul-Blocking Formation. I didn't expect that you not only studied it thoroughly, but also learned from it and applied it to the defense of the ring in a simplified way."

"I dare not take credit for anything. All this is entirely due to the hard work of Taoist Master Yubao and Teacher Zhu Ling, as well as the macro-guidance of your great strategies and policies, Master Li Zhenjun. This kindness is as constant as the moon and as rising as the sun. I will always remember it in my heart and look forward to repaying you one day."

Liu Ming became more and more excited as he spoke. Finally, he raised his head, his face filled with a look of genuine gratitude, and there were even tears in the corners of his eyes.

Li Yang smiled meaningfully and looked at Liu Ming calmly: "You can stand up. You don't have to kneel all the time. In today's martial arts competition, Chunyang Hall has eight defenders and Yanfa Hall has twelve defenders. I want to hear your opinion."

Liu Ming stood up, wondering why Li Yang would ask these questions to such an ordinary disciple like him.

However, it was a blessing that Li Yang did not kill him with a sword the first time they met. If he really had asked the principal to talk to the students about the teaching style and academic style, that would have been a good thing.

Thinking of this, Liu Ming immediately bowed his hands and said: "I dare not take the opinion. Although the gap between the two halls is true, it is not big and is still within the normal range. Moreover, the four lecturers of the two halls have worked tirelessly and responsibly to train us, especially Taoist Master Yubao. For this, we are always grateful."

"Oh, so you mean that there is nothing wrong with the teaching methods and teaching styles of the two halls now?"

"I have only been in Chunyang Hall for half a year, so I dare not comment on the teaching methods and styles of the two halls. However, generally speaking, there are indeed differences between the two halls now." Liu Ming frowned and thought for a moment, then continued: "Chunyang Hall was influenced by Taoist Master Yubao and Lecturer Zhu Ling. The wind is light and the clouds are light, and the clothes are fluttering, which has the word "immortal" attached to it.

The Yanfa Hall is influenced by the true nature of lecturers Wang Xin and Zhao Ziyao, who hate evil and are much stronger than the Chunyang Hall in terms of action, which is due to the word "chivalrous".

For our Baiyun Taoist Academy, immortal spirit and chivalrous spirit are equally important."

These words immediately made Li Yang laugh out loud. In Liu Ming's opinion, the oppressive feeling of looking down on everyone was finally lessened.

"Liu Ming, Liu Ming, if I hadn't investigated your background beforehand, I would have really thought that you were admitted to my Baiyun Taoist Academy from the north."

"But I am somewhat flattered that my small Baiyun Taoist Temple can be praised so highly by the current Liu Sect Master, Taoist Four Seasons."

The Jade Toad Hall was still filled with the smoke of incense, and a golden wheel that looked like a crescent moon was floating above the hall, emitting a faint light.

Liu Ming was stunned for a moment, and his first thought was to escape.
The second thought was that no matter how I tried to escape, it would be futile.

The third thought was a blank, and a pale and empty word "death" instantly occupied the entire mind.

Some thoughts flashed through his mind, and several ideas surged out of his mind. Liu Ming raised his head slightly and found that Li Yang on the high platform was looking at him with a strange expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

Instantly, the ghost of death came to his head, and Liu Ming fell to the ground with a thump. "Disciple Liu Ming pays homage to Master Li. I risked my life to join the Baiyun Taoist Temple only because I have a sincere heart. I have no other intentions! Master Li, please be merciful and forgive me!"

"Spare your life?" Li Yang smiled strangely: "I didn't say I would kill you."

"Ah, you won't kill me?"

Liu Ming looked up in confusion, obviously in disbelief.

"Why, you seem a little regretful that I didn't kill you?"

"No regrets, no regrets, absolutely no regrets. I'm just a little surprised that you, Li Zhenjun, are so magnanimous." Liu Ming waved his hands repeatedly, looked at the Moon Essence Wheel that served as a lighting device in the sky above the Jade Toad Hall, and swallowed his saliva.

This Moon Essence Wheel is almost a legendary magic weapon in the Taoist Alliance and China. Regardless of whether it is at home or abroad, or on official or unofficial lists, when statistics are compiled to rank the magic weapons in the world, this Moon Essence Wheel is always in the top three, and is mostly at the top of the list.

However, this is a magic weapon in the eyes of the righteous, but he is a villain! Liu Ming now looks at the high-hanging Moon Essence Wheel as if he is looking at a magic weapon, afraid that if he fails to satisfy Li Zhenjun, the magic weapon will fall.

Seeing Liu Ming so frightened, Li Yang smiled and continued, "Liu Ming, a native of southern Sichuan, Taoist of Four Seasons, the second Venerable of Liu Sect. During your leadership of Liu Sect, the followers of Liu Sect restrained their actions and did not commit any more heinous crimes. In this case, I have no reason to kill you."

Liu Ming had a smile on his face, but his back was covered in cold sweat.

He thought that he was a perfect undercover agent, but he didn't expect that his underwear would be exposed. He still pretended to be a grandson in the Taoist temple every day, keeping a low profile.

"Although you have no reason or qualifications for me to take action, the Liu Sect behind you is restless. Since you are the second Venerable, how much do you know about the previous Venerable?"

Seeing that the matter had been made clear, Li Yang hesitated no longer. His brows turned cold, and a huge pressure enveloped Liu Ming.

Liu Ming's breathing suddenly stagnated, and his legs trembled:

"I, I don't know much. I'm lying... No, when I became the Venerable of Liu Sect, it was basically a mess. Nothing was left for me."

"But there is a legend in the church that the previous Venerable was not a Venerable..."
