Chapter 39 First meeting Mountain. The afterglow of the sun fell on the courtyard of the Taoist palace. Zhang Jingqing sat in front of the steps, looking dignified but unable to hide his sad expression. "Master, even you can't do anything about it?" "It is said that Wudang, Shangqing, Qingzhuyuan and others wanted to help, but were all declined." "Oh, what a nice person Zuo Menzhang is." The five disciples who were sitting cross-legged a few meters away were discussing one after another. Zhang Jingqing held a piece of paper tightly in his hand, which looked like the provocative letter that Yuan Jingui had sent him before. Until now, none of the disciples knew the extent to which the blood feud between Trinity and Quan Xing had become unstoppable. Thinking of this, Zhang Jingqing slowly breathed a sigh of relief, calming down the unhappiness in his heart. He stared at the disciples and asked, "What do you think about this matter? You might as well tell me so that I can refer to it." Rather than soliciting opinions, it is more like a test. Through this incident, one can roughly infer the disciples' abilities and attitudes in dealing with people and things.
"As for helping us, the Sanyi Sect has always been on good terms with our Longhu Mountain. If we turn a blind eye to such a subversive disaster, it would be unacceptable." The first to express his opinion was Zhang Zhiwei. He was wearing a dark blue Taoist robe, with his hair tied up. His facial features were full of charm. His casual and flamboyant expression in the past seemed a little hesitant. He hesitated and said: "The difficulty is that I don't know whether Trinity's friends want to go to war with Quan Xing or kill the culprit." As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Jinzhong, who was sitting upright beside him, added, "That must be an all-out war." "Master Quan Xing brought the evil boy into the mountains, causing Master Zuo to pass away. This is the source of the crime;" "I asked fellow Taoist Sanyi who came down the mountain. Quan Xing attacked Sanyi Sect at night, causing heavy casualties." "What's more, the two seniors have been severely injured by those monsters and their lives are unknown." "This absurd incident clearly shows that Trinity wants revenge and justice. Otherwise, no one would be able to swallow this." Several fellow disciples looked at Tian Jinzhong and expressed their agreement with what he said. Only a Taoist priest with big ears and short stature looked suspicious and said thoughtfully: "Is it fair?" "It's not easy to seek justice without knowing the truth. Moreover, our master came to our door in person and offered to help, but was rejected by the people of Trinity Sect." "If we intervene directly, it will cause some estrangement in people's hearts." "." Tian Jinzhong fell silent, his brows slightly frowned. He really couldn't understand why the Trinity Sect was unwilling to accept the help of Longhu Mountain after experiencing such a big change. "alright." "Yanyi, Hengyu, Jinzhong, the three of you go and find out some news from the outside world for me first." "Be diligent and keep an eye on those kids." "Yes! Master." The disciples whose names were called stood up and left politely. The setting sun gradually sank into the horizon. Zhang Jingqing simply spread out his palms, and a golden light rolled up the letter and flew towards Zhang Zhiwei.
"See, this is the seriousness of the situation." After reading it, the provocative and ostentatious words were like a fly buzzing in his ears, making Zhang Zhiwei's face grow cold. He handed the letter to his junior fellow apprentice Zhang Huaiyi. "Master, we are not the only ones who received it, right?" "Well, the whole martial arts world knows that the person who wrote the letter really wants to stir up a bloody storm." Zhang Jingqing had a headache. Yuan Jingui's behavior was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. Even though he was a Heavenly Master and the leader of the righteous ways, it was impossible for him to quell the impact of this incident. "The situation is so clear, why don't you just help Sanyimen?" Zhang Zhiwei pulled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms. He supported his chin, and a light bulb suddenly lit up in his mind and he thought of a solution. "Considering the feelings of our friends at Trinity, we won't interfere directly. So why don't we go over there and have a cup of tea, visit the head of the Left Gate, and burn some incense? That's reasonable, right?" "Everything depends on human effort. Since the war between the Trinity and the whole nature is inevitable." "But our visit can at least help prevent the monsters from attacking the mountain." Zhang Jingqing looked at Zhang Zhiwei, his face full of satisfaction, and praised him: "Okay, your idea is not bad." "Huaiyi, what do you think?" The resounding voice immediately drew Zhang Huaiyi's attention back from the letter paper. He said clearly, "I have no objection. I will follow your and my brother's arrangements." "it is good" Zhang Jingqing gave Zhang Huaiyi a complicated look and said, "Then you should stay in Longhu Mountain. It will be enough for your senior brother to go." "Master, should I set off now?" Zhang Zhiwei stood up. "Well, go to Trinity Gate and speak smartly." "Don't waste the social etiquette I asked you to learn before." "I understand, Master. I'll go first." Zhang Zhiwei said goodbye simply and left in a hurry. At night, on the river bank, Jiang Mo sat on a solitary boat, slowing his breathing, resonating with the heaven and earth. The endless moonlight dropped from the void, being tempered by him and melted into his body. "Uncle Master, the owner of the Jianghu Inn that I asked my family's informant to arrange is here." Lu Jin sat at the bow, watching the boat approaching from the side, and reported to Jiang Mo immediately. The wooden boat swam across the shallows and arrived at the shore, very close to the boat where Jiang Mo was. Liu Wei, the owner of Jianghu Inn, was wearing a brown gown, had a slender build, wore glasses, had a slightly decadent face, and held a wine gourd in his bony right hand. Both parties got off the boat and walked towards each other. Liu Wei smiled and greeted: "Long time no see, Master Lu." "Boss Liu, long time no see. Sorry for bothering you so late at night." Lu Jin greeted him politely and introduced him: "Uncle Master, this is the owner of the Jianghu Inn that I mentioned to you - Liu Wei." "Boss Liu, this is my uncle Jiang Mo." "Hello! Taoist Priest Jiang."
Liu Wei stretched out his hand and took the opportunity to look at the young man in front of him. He was wearing black clothes, had long hair and was barefoot. His temperament was completely different from that of the late Zuo Menchang. Although his aura was restrained, his eyes and brows were still sharp. "Hello, Boss Liu." Jiang Mo shook hands with him and got straight to the point: "I heard from Jin'er that your intelligence network is densely spread all over the world. I wonder if you have any information about Quan Xing Liu Pozi and the leader Wu Gensheng?" Hearing this, Liu Wei shook his head and said ashamedly: "Let me be frank, you two. In my early years, I once dealt with Wu Gensheng in Yinghe Tower." "Unfortunately, even though I started to pay attention to this person's background and identity from that time, and even sent informants to investigate, I came back with nothing." At this point, Boss Liu took a sip from his wine gourd to relieve his depression, and then said: "There has been no progress in all these years. His background is completely a mystery. He appears and disappears mysteriously. The pursuit has even been interrupted several times." "Also, the Liu Po you are looking for also has a strange origin. I have some information here, but it doesn't match up at all." "An informant found out that she migrated south from the northern desert ten years ago, and another informant said that she is a local resident and has been rooted in Quanxing for decades." "Besides, she has been living in seclusion for many years, and there are no informants who pay special attention to her and conduct in-depth investigations. This is the only intelligence we have."
