Chapter 214 The Art of Dual Cultivation
The man in black suddenly paused, and then said: "It's my honor that Miss Huo values ​​your identity so much, how about this, I'm willing to exchange with Miss Huo, Miss Huo dispels everyone's curiosity, and I'm satisfied A request from Miss Huo."

"Is this true?" Huo Mingzhu said.

"really."

"Okay, I want to know the secrets of the Western Regions." Huo Mingzhu said bluntly.

The man in black said: "Hey, Miss Huo disappointed me very much, and Miss Dao would say that I would agree with you, but I just want the secret, and I really can't satisfy Miss Huo, but the one who unlocks the secret The thing, I have already given it to you, Miss Huo. Well, the exchange of the conditions is over, and I will leave first. "

Huo Mingzhu thought about the words of the man in black in her mind, and then suddenly remembered that the man in black suddenly visited her boudoir one day and gave him a jade pendant!
"That jade pendant..."

"Miss Huo, there will be some time later." The man in black had already left, but Huo Mingzhu was overjoyed by the news, and wanted to find the clue to get the treasure of the Western Regions, but unexpectedly, that The clues were already in her hands.

In this way, she can settle the matter in front of her with peace of mind. She will not let him have a chance to achieve the purpose of Baili Zonglu's coming to Wuliang Taoist Temple this time.

Taoist Baimei always ate breakfast in his room, Huo Mingzhu delivered his meal to the door of his room and said: "Master, this disciple is here to deliver breakfast."

"Come in."

Huo Mingzhu put the breakfast on the table and stood aside.

The white-browed Taoist glanced at Huo Mingzhu, and said with some doubts, "Why did you come here?"

"The disciple has something to say."

"Oh?" The white-browed Taoist raised his eyebrows and looked at Huo Mingzhu.

Huo Mingzhu said: "Because the Ninth Prince is here, Mingzhu feels that there are some things that need to be reminded to the master first."

"But it's okay to say." Baimei said humanely.

Huo Mingzhu cupped his hands: "Master, Mingzhu is the daughter of the General's Mansion, Master knows about this, so if Mingzhu knows something that others don't, Master should not be surprised."

"kindness."

"Before Ming Zhu came to apprentice, I heard that people in the royal family believed that the medicine stone technique was all evil spirits, and when the master was there, there was a tripod vessel, so everyone in the royal family thought it was a magic weapon. The method of double cultivation is a method of obscenity, so Mingzhu is very worried about the purpose of the Ninth Prince's visit this time."

After Huo Mingzhu finished speaking, she had a worried expression on her face, which could not be faked.

Taoist Baimei looked at his beautiful and smart disciple, at the beginning he would agree to her request to be a teacher, one of the reasons was to think about the method of double cultivation, if he could practice double cultivation with this beautiful and flowery disciple, it must be as happy as a fairy.The second is the power behind this woman.

Taoist Baimei is an ambitious person. He has always wanted to become a national teacher. That is the highest pursuit of a cultivator. , this Huo Mingzhu did not disappoint him.

Now, a Ninth Prince suddenly appeared with unknown purpose, and Huo Mingzhu's suggestion made Taoist Baimei feel that the Ninth Prince might not be kind.

"I know it as a teacher." At that moment, the white-browed Taoist had a thousand turns in his heart, but his face was calm.

"The disciple will leave first." Huo Mingzhu didn't feel anxious when she saw Taoist Baimei's appearance, she had already finished her words, and Taoist Baimei also listened to her.

Speaking of this white-browed Taoist, Huo Mingzhu admired his ability very much, if not for this, he would not have been valued by Baili Zonglu. If he came to invite someone in person, his attitude would be very respectful.

Out of the door of Taoist Baimei, turned around, and bumped into Baili Zonglu, Huo Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat, the astonishment on his face was too late to subside, but in Baili Zonglu's view, he was a guilty conscience, his eyebrows frowned, and immediately Asked: "A Jin is so flustered, why?"

Taoist Baimei had already heard the commotion outside the room, so he could hear what kind of person Baili Zonglu was, so he didn't go out to say hello to Baili Zonglu.

"Greetings to the Ninth Prince." Huo Mingzhu responded hastily, bowing his head to salute Baili Zonglu.

But Baili Zonglu grabbed Huo Mingzhu's arm and said: "Ah Jin, don't talk about him, why did you come out of this room so early in the morning?"

Baili Zonglu's expression was that when Huo Mingzhu came out of this room, he must have done something shameful in that room.

Originally, Baili Zonglu had been thinking about why Huo Mingzhu appeared in this place. There are only Taoist priests here, so he knew that she was a girl. This kind of filial piety is not what Huo Mingzhu would do.

Now, when Huo Mingzhu came out of this room, Baili Zonglu remembered the tripod vessel that had appeared in this Taoist temple. There is even more anger in his eyes that has devoured Huo Mingzhu.

Huo Mingzhu didn't expect that this matter would go so smoothly, Baili Zonglu caught him coming out of the master's room, and asked this question so bluntly.

Huo Mingzhu's expression remained calm, she withdrew her eyes and said: "Returning to the Ninth Prince, Mingzhu is serving breakfast to Master."

"Breakfast? Did you come to deliver your master's breakfast? But you don't see Ajin come to deliver breakfast to me?" Baili Zonglu didn't care about etiquette and shame when he spoke this time. He just did the shameful thing, so the straightforwardness of these words made Huo Mingzhu feel harsh.

However, she wanted to hold back, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Why does the Ninth Prince think that Mingzhu can't come to deliver breakfast to Master."

Huo Mingzhu's answer this time is also extremely correct. After all, she is still an inexperienced girl, so it's not surprising that she doesn't understand what Baili Zong's law says.

But the white-browed Taoist in the room didn't think so, of course he could understand Baili Zonglu's words.Immediately, he got up and walked towards the door.

When he went out, he saw Baili Zonglu holding Huo Mingzhu's arm, and the white-browed Taoist said to Baili Zonglu, "Ninth Prince, why is this?"

As soon as Baili Zonglu saw Taoist Baimei coming out, he let go of Huo Mingzhu, and said to Taoist Baimei: "This king is just joking with Ah Jin, Taoist priest doesn't need to worry about it."

"Yes."

"This king intends to come to pay respects to the Taoist priest, and has some matters to discuss with the Taoist priest, but after hearing what A Jin said, he brought the breakfast. I don't know if the Taoist priest's breakfast can be used at this time?" Bailizong legal way.

The white-browed Taoist's face darkened a bit. How could he not know that Baili Zonglu was asking him whether it was because Huo Mingzhu went out of his room this time to deliver breakfast? Combined with Huo Mingzhu's words just now, Taoist Baimei felt a little dissatisfied with Baili Zongluxin.

It is not to protect Huo Mingzhu, but to tell the truth. The white-browed Taoist said: "Because of the arrival of the Ninth Prince, the disciples in the Taoist temple were sent to Zhang Luo for the prince. The matter of delivering breakfast was delivered by Mingzhu himself. .”

"So, this king knows." Baili Zonglu's face softened a little, and he glanced at Huo Mingzhu beside him, but Huo Mingzhu didn't even look at him.

But Baili Zonglu thought that Huo Mingzhu was angry because of the misunderstanding just now, so he didn't look at him, and the only bit of unhappiness in his heart disappeared because of this, and the gaze he looked at Taoist Baimei also changed. A little more respectful.

"I just heard that the prince said, what do you want to talk to me about? Please go to the room and talk about it." The white-browed Taoist stepped aside to make way for Baili Zonglu, and after Baili Zonglu entered, he said to Huo Mingzhu : "Pearl to see tea."

"Yes, Master." Huo Mingzhu said obediently.

In the room, Baili Zonglu saw the breakfast on the table at a glance. The Taoist Baimei hadn't used it yet, so he was even more convinced that he had misunderstood Huo Mingzhu just now. While thinking about finding an opportunity to coax Huo Mingzhu, he also Thinking, if it wasn't for double cultivation, why did Huo Mingzhu come here?
"Lord Nine, why did you come all the way to my Taoist temple?" asked the Taoist with white eyebrows.

Baili Zonglu smiled: "Oh, this king Su asked that the master's spells are very powerful, and the technique of medicine and stones is also unmatched. If you can invite the Taoist master to the palace to be used by the emperor, to strengthen your body and solve problems for the emperor, It must be a great thing.”

Daoist Baimei heard that the purpose of Baili Zonglu's trip was to invite him into the palace, so he knew that the Ninth Prince had a lot of ambitions. Relying on this to control the emperor, Taoist Baimei would not naively think that this is what the emperor meant.

If the emperor wants to make him a national teacher, it is a matter of imperial decree, and why does this noble Ninth Prince come all the way to invite him in person?

Baili Zonglu saw that the white-browed Taoist was not moved after hearing his words, so he frowned.

"To tell you the truth, the elder brother, my brother's body is not as good as before. As the younger brother of the emperor, I am even more of a subject. It is understandable for my master to solve problems. Therefore, this king has come to ask the elder on his own initiative." He explained that it was his Baili sect's law to let Taoist Baimei go to the palace to be a national teacher.

This is the same as what Huo Mingzhu promised, it is to become the national teacher, but the white-browed Taoist did not immediately agree to the Baili Zonglu, but he could not be offended, so he said: "Thanks to the Ninth Prince, it's just that I am a cultivator. This shouldn't be related to worldly matters, plus, this is related to the emperor's dragon body, so I have to think about it carefully."

Baili Zonglu's ability is valued by Baili Zonglu. If Baili Zonglu can help him, Baili Zonglu's hegemony will be more effective. Therefore, he will come to invite Baimei Taoist in person.When he came, it was expected that Taoist Baimei would refuse. This capable person likes to take Joe, and Baili Zonglu doesn't think so.

So he said to Taoist Baimei: "The Taoist priest can think about it carefully. I think the scenery in the Taoist temple is good. It would be a pleasure to stay here for a day or two."

"Thank you, my lord, for your love for the Taoist temple," said the white-browed Taoist.

At this time, Huo Mingzhu came in with tea: "Ninth Prince, Master, please have some tea."
