fairy family

Chapter 117: Both veins are bad, there are visitors on the mountain
Taoist Master Kuzhu walked up to Yu Que's door, but a look of hesitation appeared on his face again.

When the time came, the man was still struggling: "If the Master knew about my behavior, would he take it out on me again?"

While Taoist Master Kuzhu was hesitating, Yu Que, who was in the room, frowned slightly, opened his eyes, and looked towards the door.

The room was quiet, so the slightest sound from inside or outside could be easily heard.

Taoist Master Kuzhu came here only with trespassing fear, not to steal, so he did not use magic to suppress the sound of his footsteps, which naturally reached Yu Que's ears.

"I am currently in the Examination Institute. There shouldn't be any thieves here..."

With an idea in his mind, Yu Que stopped meditating, quietly slipped to the door and window, and peered outside.

When he saw that it was Taoist Master Kuzhu, lingering in front of his door, Yu Que breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "At least he's not a bad guy."

However, he did not open the door immediately. Instead, he stood inside the house, taking in the Taoist Master Kuzhu's conflicted look, and was thinking a lot in his mind.

After waiting for a long time, Yu Que saw that the man had not knocked on the door or left. He looked strange and simply coughed lightly and opened the door by himself.

Taoist Master Kuzhu, who was standing outside the guest room, was suddenly startled and looked at Yu Que in surprise.

Yu Que bowed to the man and said helplessly: "Master, you came here late at night and wandered for a long time. Why don't you come in and sit down?"

Seeing that he had already been discovered by Yu Que, Taoist Kuzhu showed an unhappy look on his face, and he had the urge to cover his face and run away.

But he came here for an important matter. He exhaled and nodded: "Okay."

Immediately, Yu Que invited the man into the room and took out the tea set in the room and brewed two cups of water.

As soon as Taoist Master Kuzhu entered the guest room, he walked left and looked right, and finally gritted his teeth and took out a light golden talisman from his sleeve.

He chanted a spell silently and lit the talisman with a snap. It immediately turned into a wisp of yellow smoke, surrounding the two people in the center.

In an instant, Yu Que felt an utter silence in his ears, with only the two people's breathing being audible.

Taoist Master Kuzhu immediately explained: "This is a sixth-grade confusing voice spell. Even if it is the Gang Immortal Family, they can't eavesdrop on our conversation without making any noise."

Seeing this, Yu Que frowned and his face became serious. He knew that this person came tonight and must have something important to say.

But even though he was mentally prepared, when Taoist Kuzhu revealed the attitude of the people in the Examination Institute, Yu Que's expression still changed and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

After Taoist Master Kuzhu said these words, the man's mind was no longer troubled. He felt much more relaxed and was able to pick up the teacup and take a sip of water.

Yu Que couldn't help but speak:
"Do you really mean what the Taoist said?"

Taoist Master Kuzhu nodded.

This time, Yu Que could no longer sit still. He suddenly stood up from the futon, paced in the guest room, and said:
"This, this is not too ridiculous!

I just want to go down the mountain and study in the county school at the foot of the mountain, so that I can pass the imperial examination three years later. Why doesn't the master in the mountain allow me to do so?"

He muttered to himself for a while, then looked at the Taoist priest Kuzhu with a gloomy and tricky look.

Yu Que bowed deeply to this person:

"Thank you for your frank words tonight. I would like to ask you, why did the master in the courtyard do this? Is there any other reason?"

Taoist Master Kuzhu looked at Yu Que hesitantly and said, "There is indeed a reason, but this reason is still confidential. Even I, the old Taoist, have only heard about it not long ago, so it is inconvenient to disclose it."

Yu Que understood instantly, and he immediately pointed to the sky and swore: "I will never reveal a single word of what I said today to anyone else. If I break my promise, I will be struck by lightning and burned by fire."

He swore a solemn oath.

Although oaths are just empty words, there are no gods in this world who will really kill people for violating oaths.

But as Yu Que is an immortal, his words and actions will have a certain impact on his mind.

Therefore, any immortal who aspires to live forever will not swear an oath lightly, otherwise he would be making a joke of his own immortal path. If he is not careful, one day during his cultivation, he may fail to fulfill his oath because of his unstable mind.

Coincidentally, Yu Que is a Taoist who opened a temple in heaven and still wants to compete for the true teachings. He is definitely an immortal who aims to achieve immortality.

Kuzhu would not believe others' oaths, but when Yu Que spoke, he immediately relaxed a little.

After struggling for a while, he thought to himself, "Based on the attitude of the Master when he revealed it to me, the matter of the soldier can't be concealed for long. Even if this boy disregards the immortal path and reveals it to the outside world, it is not certain that I will be blamed."

With his mind at rest, Taoist Kuzhu sighed again and again: "Forget it, forget it. Since I have come to your room, I will explain it to you clearly. You don't have to think that I am deliberately deceiving you."

Immediately, this person told Yu Que everything he knew about the "Taoist soldier".

After hearing these words, Yu Que did not show any realization on his face. Instead, he stared at Taoist Kuzhu with a ridiculous look.

He couldn't help but speak:
"What kind of military strategy is this? Even if it is really related to the revival of spiritual energy, why does it have to hinder our immortal path and not even let us take the test of the true teachings?
Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous! "

When Taoist Master Kuzhu heard this, he kept silent, looked at his nose and his heart, but he also nodded his chin slightly to express his agreement with the word "absurd" that Yu Que said.

To be honest, this person also felt puzzled by the strategy of "Taoist soldiers" mentioned by the master in the courtyard.

Taoist Master Kuzhu thought secretly: "Why do we have to oppress the Taoists in our own family just to suppress the children of the noble families... This move is either unwise or he has other intentions!"

His eyes flickered.

And this misunderstanding was another major reason why he dared to come here tonight and tell Yu Que everything.

Yu Que looked at Taoist Master Kuzhu, and no matter how much he didn't understand, when he saw his expression, his heart sank suddenly, and he realized that the other party might not have lied to him.

Moreover, if the "Soldier"'s plan really exists, it will definitely surface in the future.

Therefore, there was no need for the other party to deliberately deceive him, unless the old Taoist was also deceived.

Yu Que was alert. He took a deep breath and finally spoke slowly:

"Since this is a major project, I wonder why Taoist Kuzhu came to inform Yuque today. What is his purpose? Taoist, please tell me what you want to say. As long as Yuque can do it, I will definitely reward you."

Unexpectedly, Taoist Master Kuzhu heard it and waved his hand, saying:
“Nothing in return, nothing in return!”

The old Taoist said with a bitter face and frowned, "I am explaining this to you today just because I hope you can understand that I am just a small fry in the Examination and Evaluation Institute.

This is all the will of the Lord, not mine." The other party bowed to Yu Que and said, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. If I have offended you recently, please be magnanimous and forgive me for the sake of what happened today."

Yu Que was stunned. He had not expected that the two words "Why bother" he had said to Taoist Master Kuzhu would have such a big effect.

In order to avoid being hated by him, the old Taoist simply tipped off the person!
After a long silence, Yu Que stood up and bowed to the man: "Master, I will remember your kindness today."

Then he raised his head again, paused and asked:
"But may I ask, Master Dao, by reminding me this time, aren't you afraid of offending the master in the courtyard? And I dare to ask again, do you have any way to get this junior down the mountain?"

After sending the man west, Yu Que simply asked him about how to get down the mountain, trying to find out whether this man just wanted to trick him out of the mountain or had other plans.

When Taoist Master Kuzhu heard this, he clapped his hands:
"Fellow Daoist Yu has hit the nail on the head. I came here tonight because I actually wanted you to save me."

The other party pointed directly out the window and said, "There are at least three days before the assessment is released. During these three days, you can leave the mountain on your own. In this way, you will not be in the mountain and can avoid being detained on the mountain. And I won't have to trouble you again and end up failing in my work."

When Yu Que heard this, his expression changed.

Taoist Master Kuzhu was still talking to himself:

"It's not easy to go up the mountain, but there are many routes down the mountain, and it's not a very peaceful day recently. You choose the time and the route by yourself, and don't ask someone, it's useless to ask.

You must leave the mountain before the evaluation results come out, otherwise it will be even harder for you to get down, and I will be in big trouble."

After saying this, Taoist Kuzhu closed his eyes tightly, looking as if he didn't want to be involved in it anymore.

The other party's behavior, on the contrary, made the anxious Yu Que chuckle, feeling a little relieved and funny.

"I didn't expect that this person would come to persuade me to flee. Indeed, if I had escaped from the mountain before he made his move, as long as today's conspiracy was not leaked, the guilt this person would bear would be much less."

Yu Que thought to himself, "This person let me arrange my own route and time, which not only reduces the suspicion of his meddling, but also reduces my suspicion of him."

After thinking it over, he found that the best solution for both the old Taoist Kuzhu and himself was to escape from the mountain before the other party took action!
In this way, Yu Que would avoid the chance of direct conflict with them. As for the rest, he could think about it carefully in the county school after he went down the mountain.

After taking a long breath, Yu Que saluted Taoist Kuzhu again and again:
"Thank you, Taoist priest, for speaking out for justice!"

Seeing that Yu Que did not ask any more questions, Taoist Kuzhu suddenly opened his eyes, and his buttocks seemed to be stabbed. He quickly stood up from the mat, waving his sleeves to disperse the yellow smoke around him.

"Very good, very good. Judging from your attitude, I think you have completely understood. In that case, I will not bother you any more."

After saying this, Taoist Kuzhu seemed to have his feet burned and walked towards the door on his own. Yu Que didn't even have time to try to keep him, as he had already opened the door and walked out.

Standing in front of the door of the guest room, Taoist Kuzhu restrained his expression again, then put on an expression of being disappointed in his friend, snorted coldly, and left quickly with a flick of his sleeves.

Although there was no one around, it was obvious that this person pretended to be on bad terms with Yu Que in order to hide his identity.

Yu Que stood in the room, squinting and watching the other person's back disappear into the darkness. He was stunned for a few breaths, then sighed in his heart and cooperated by slamming the door shut, making a loud clanging sound.

When he returned to the table in the room, Yu Que's expression changed again, becoming extremely gloomy.

After learning about the domineering nature of the "master-disciple lineage", his original good impression of this faction instantly disappeared.

Yu Que cursed in his heart at that time:
"What a bunch of termites... How is the lineage of the Huangshan master and apprentice different from those high-handed and domineering aristocratic families?"

But after cursing, Yu Que's feeling of depression did not disappear, but his brows were tightly furrowed.

He raised his head, staring at the dark night outside the window, muttering in his heart:
“Going up the mountain brings hardship, and coming down the mountain brings peace.

But how can I go down the mountain secretly without being caught before reaching the county town and without encountering danger on the way? "

Thoughts were churning in his mind, one after another.

But after thinking about it, he found no safe and feasible solution.

As long as he went down the mountain alone, he would inevitably be in danger.

No matter how well Taoist Kuzhu performed just now, there was no guarantee that this person was not deliberately provoking him, trying to lure him down the mountain and then take the opportunity to do something bad.

Yu Que pondered over this for most of the night.

During this time, he also set his sights on the girl from the Xie family in the next guest room, wondering if he could start with this girl and gain some strength from her.

But until it was slightly bright outside the window, he still couldn't come up with a perfect plan.

Yu Que raised his head and stared out the window in a daze.

Finally, he could only let out a long sigh, thinking that he still had three days to prepare.

"Forget it, forget it. Let me just remain calm for now and when I get a chance I can find the people on the mountain and ask them secretly, and then we'll do something about it." He thought to himself.

The next two days.

Yu Que changed his attitude of staying indoors and instead walked around the examination and evaluation institute leisurely.

What made him feel heavy-hearted was that it was exactly as Taoist Master Kuzhu had told him when they went up the mountain.

The Taoist Palace strictly forbids others from having too much contact with them, so Yu Que couldn't find anyone to talk to when he wanted to.

As for the Taoist priest Kuzhu, he has been deliberately avoiding Yu Que these past two days.

In this case, Yu Que had wasted two days.

He was still completely clueless about the terrain and gates in the Huangshan Taoist Palace, and he couldn't get any flying talismans like paper cranes in his hands.

When he was about to lose control and was about to take the initiative to ask Taoist Master Kuzhu for money, an accident occurred.

This day.

Yu Que seized the opportunity and wandered to crowded places again, especially the canteen in the Examination Institute.

At noon, when he was rushing to eat, he inadvertently glanced at the crowd in the cafeteria and saw a familiar face.

The other party seemed to notice something and immediately looked up...
