Chapter 761 Reacquaintance

Although the worship of heaven and earth at the Temple of Heaven was still solemn, everyone was a little absent-minded.

But Yan Shouyun could not see it. He had been running since he escaped from the Temple of Heaven. How could he care about anything else?

Hui Mian stood on the top of the Temple of Heaven and looked at the direction where Yan Shouyun left quickly. He grinned. Did this guy really run away?

Hey, it's not that I don't help you, it's that you didn't grasp it!

Although it was dawn, the sky was gloomy. Yan Shouyun had already run to the city gate and mixed in the crowd waiting to leave the city.

After the city gate was opened, Yan Shouyun immediately left with the people entering and leaving the city.

Although he was uneasy, it seemed that there was no trouble this time, and he was not subject to any special investigation. At most, he was just looked at by the soldiers at the city gate.

However, he was too anxious when he ran, and Yan Shouyun did not pay too much attention to the direction. He subconsciously ran to the city gate where Chengtian Port was located.

When he left the city and saw the busy Jinggang, Yan Shouyun realized that he should not have come here.

First, there was the issue of boat fare, and second, it was easy to expose one's whereabouts if one took a boat at the port, so one should actually take the mountain path.

But since he was already here, Yan Shouyun subconsciously walked a few more steps towards the port. Perhaps he could take a boat and run away. He could take a boat for a while, and then get off the boat in the middle and change his route.

Thinking of this, Yan Shouyun hurried to the port.

The wind blowing from the direction of the Thirteenth Floor Square was filled with a hint of rouge fragrance, and there were also people who had just left the gentle countryside in the early morning and walked towards the city on the road.

Some people would ask Yan Shouyun if he would participate in the Dharma Appraisal Conference when they met him, and he would just evade a few words to deal with it.

Ordinary people could not see the sacrifice to heaven, but the real Dharma Appraisal Conference was not restricted to people, as long as you could get by.

So there were many people discussing the Dharma Appraisal Conference on the road, and Yan Shouyun could only pretend that he had no intention of participating, or that he was not qualified to participate, and it would be best if no one asked him.

When he arrived at the port and looked around casually, of course, there were passenger ships that would soon leave the port, and many cargo ships did not mind charging for a ride.

Yan Shouyun asked three places, and finally decided to go back to the small boat he asked about at the beginning. After all, it was convenient to dock and get off the boat in the middle of the journey.

It was at this time that Yan Shouyun suddenly noticed something, or saw something.

It was a feeling of wisps of fire. Yan Shouyun looked in a direction along the light. In the crowd at the unloading dock not far away, someone seemed to have a fire burning on him.

And the person standing in that position was the chief constable Xiao Yuzhi. At this time, he was still wearing the official uniform, but he didn't wear the official's tall hat. There was only a hairband wrapped around his gray hair.

Obviously, Xiao Yuzhi was looking at Yan Shouyun. He might have just arrived not long ago, and he also realized that he was discovered by Yan Shouyun, or he didn't hide it at all.

In Yan Shouyun's eyes, the chief constable who was still in the distance seemed to have only flashed a few times in a blur, and he was in front of him in an instant.

This really scared Yan Shouyun. This chief constable wouldn't also know magic, that speed was just like teleportation, even more exaggerated than the divine movement.

Yan Shouyun was stunned and didn't know what to say, Xiao Yuzhi spoke first.

"Is the Taoist priest leaving?"

"Uh"

Yan Shouyun's voice started, but he couldn't form a complete word. After all, he had something to say but couldn't say it, so he remained relatively silent.

Xiao Yuzhi looked at Yan Shouyun and couldn't help but sigh.

"The Taoist priest angrily denounced the chaos in the court in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Xiao admires him. Your Majesty is stubborn and wants to leave. Xiao also understands."

Yan Shouyun was slightly startled when he said this. This old chief constable obviously saw what happened at the Temple of Heaven before dawn.

However, Yan Shouyun was also relieved. With the old man's ability, if he had taken action just now, even if he suddenly realized some magic, he would not be able to escape.

Being able to talk like this here means that the old constable is ready to let me go again!

Yan Shouyun remained calm. After thinking about it, he felt that it was not polite to say anything, so he smiled helplessly and said something.

"If I don't leave, I will be caught by the imperial guards and your yamen sooner or later, and I'm afraid that I will also implicate you, the chief constable!"

Xiao Yuzhi looked at Yan Shouyun, and seemed to hear some helplessness, but also seemed to be teasing.

Xiao Yuzhi had always been inclined to believe that Yan Shouyun was a master, and this morning's incident was even more certain. He had come into contact with some real masters, who also emphasized fate like Taoist Yan, and knew that perhaps he could not force anything.

But masters can come and go, and can come and go, but Xiao Yuzhi has been receiving salaries for decades, and has been enforcing the law in the public office for decades. He has witnessed the prosperity of Dayong and the peace of the world, and it is impossible for him to sit idly by and watch some things.

"Xiao has heard that real masters do not want to be involved in government affairs, and I will not force Taoist to stay. I also know that even if Xiao has reached the innate realm, I am afraid that I can't keep Taoist."

A warrior in the innate realm?

Yan Shouyun's scalp was numb, and his hair was about to stand up again. This legendary warrior has encountered it!

He didn't think the chief constable would lie, at least not at this moment.

Captain Xiao, you really think highly of me. I'm afraid my magic won't work on you.

Of course Yan Shouyun wouldn't tell this psychological activity, and he also knew that the chief constable's words would have a sequel, so he waited quietly.

Sure enough, Xiao Yuzhi looked at Yan Shouyun and said the second half of the sentence.

"Xiao's mortal eyes cannot recognize the evil spirits of demons, but the Taoist priest has a clear eye. He has seen through everything in the Ancestral Temple, and even scared many demons to escape."

Xiao Yuzhi paused slightly before continuing.

"Xiao wants to ask, are there any demons among the remaining mages holding the list?"

Yan Shouyun frowned slightly, recalling the feeling just now almost instantly. Although it was chaotic before, the various auras in his eyes were actually more obvious at that time.

There was nothing to hesitate, Yan Shouyun nodded lightly.

"besides!"

Xiao Yuzhi looked a little more serious and said something else.

"I know that for cultivators like Taoist Master, it may be suspected of revealing secrets, but I hope that the Master will tell Xiao that for the sake of Xiao's loan to you before, who are those monsters?"

Yan Shouyun seemed to understand something, and the boss had other thoughts. If the emperor was stubborn and the court could not impeach the demon, was he prepared to do it himself?

"Captain Xiao, demons are different from ordinary warlocks, and those who can become human without chaos in the situation just now are even more different."

At this moment, Yan Shouyun was a little frightened when he recalled it. He even suspected that there was a legendary monster in disguise around the emperor.

"Please tell the mage!"

Xiao Yuzhi just looked at Yan Shouyun and said no more unnecessary words.

Yan Shouyun also looked at Xiao Yuzhi. He didn't immediately say it, not because of some secret, but simply because he was afraid that the old catcher would do something stupid.

Although he usually told fortune tellers, did things, and occasionally mentioned heavenly secrets, to be honest, Yan Shouyun felt that he had not yet reached that level of Taoism, and such high-level words as heavenly secrets were used casually.

But then I thought about it, if the boss didn't even know who the monster was, it might be more dangerous for the boss to arrest him.

"That's all. I took a rough look before I left. Among the more than two hundred magicians left, there were thirteen demonic channels, which were located in the southwest corner and northeast corner of the array at that time, and the three groups near the Ancestral Temple were gathered together. , they should be the three inseparable mages, and they are also the three most dangerous. I’m sorry I didn’t see clearly where the rest are.”

Xiao Yuzhi knew that the Taoist priest could not say more, so he bowed and saluted him.

"Thank you, Taoist Priest!"

Yan Shouyun stretched out his hand to support Xiao Yuzhi, but the other party didn't move at all, so he still let him bow down.

"The old catcher is so polite."

"I wish the Taoist Master a true cultivation and a smooth journey to immortality! Farewell!"

After Xiao Yuzhi straightened up, he only left a blessing and then left.

Yan Shouyun frowned and looked at Xiao Yuzhi's leaving figure, but murmured what he just said.

"Is cultivation really true?"

Yan Shouyun didn't know who Xiao Yuzhi had met before, but he just wondered why this boss was more like a Taoist than me?

For Taoists like Yan Shouyun who are halfway to becoming a monk, they have to wait and see, learn and practice. There are also many Taoist priests who claim to be real people or are called real people by others. They seem to have many methods, but in the final analysis it seems to be just a title.

To put it bluntly, Yan Shouyun actually does not have a very clear self-definition of his own practice and of being a warlock and Taoist.

Just as he sometimes thinks or says in his heart, just make a living.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but want to ask clearly, but when Yan Shouyun was about to speak again, he found that the boss had disappeared.

Yes, he is an innate master, and his movement skills are so fast.

"Cultivation must be true. What can be regarded as cultivation, and what is a real person?"

While Yan Shouyun was muttering, there was a voice beside him.

"The so-called cultivation, simply put, means to obtain the true meaning, observe the wonderful scriptures, rely on understanding, rely on the dharma, rely on the nature of the mind, hold righteous thoughts, understand the original mind, understand the principles of yin and yang and the five elements, and understand the Tao and practice the way to pursue the truth and cultivate the truth. "

"As for observing the wonderful scriptures, the fish swimming in the water, the animals in the mountains, the world of mortals, and the nature of heaven and earth! As for what the original intention is, it is hard to say. Maybe it is to do what you consciously should do. Maybe the person you are asking for often knows better, but he just avoids it in his heart. "

Yan Shouyun was slightly dazed, and slowly turned his head to look aside, only to see the old gentleman with uncanny storytelling skills walking over.

The man in dark green clothes was holding a folding fan, with white hair and white beard, walking in the wind. He was walking and talking, and he was already close.

When he got close, he saw Yan Shouyun who was a little stunned. Qi Zhongbin nodded and smiled.

"I heard the Taoist Priest talking to himself and seemed to be confused. I happen to have studied some classics and have seen such words. Let's just say it, Taoist Priest, just listen to it!"

"Well, I was storytelling on the boat last night. I didn't want to meet the Taoist priest when I got off the boat this morning. It's fate. It seems that the Taoist priest is leaving Chengtian Mansion. I hope to see you again by chance!"

Qi Zhongbin bowed his hand, and then walked away. Yan Shouyun was so stunned that he forgot to return the gift, and waited for the others to walk out for more than ten steps before coming back to his senses.

"Old sir, are you going to attend the Dharma Appraisal Conference?"

Yan Shouyun suddenly asked, Qi Zhongbin looked back at him and smiled.

"No, I went to the teahouse. Yesterday I started reading for half a day, so why don't I finish it today?"

"Hey, the Taoist over there, can you still leave?"

The boatman on the dock shouted, obviously he still wanted to do this business.

Yan Shouyun looked back at the boatman over there, then turned to look in the direction of Qi Zhongbin, only to see that the man had gone away.

"Are you leaving? I'll give you another ten cents, no less!"

The boatman shouted again, but Yan Shouyun smiled.

Heaven and earth are naturally full of wonderful magic, and the world of mortals is full of masters, including Long Simiao, Boss Quan, and even this old storyteller.

"I'm not leaving!"

Yan Shouyun shouted and immediately trotted back!

And maybe it was God's will that I went to the Ancestral Temple by mistake last night when I was drunk. Or maybe I was chasing the mink yesterday to find the way. Maybe the old gentleman who told the story was an expert?

While Yan Shouyun was jogging towards the city gate, in a corner of the port, Qi Zhongbin was looking in that direction with a calm expression.

"Hey, I've never seen you like this. This is a bit shameless. Are you not afraid of Tianjo?"

Hui Mian's voice suddenly came from his feet. Qi Zhongbin lowered his head and looked at his feet. He didn't take it seriously when he saw Diao'er. He cupped his hands towards it with a half-smile on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Hui, you took him to the Ancestral Temple first. I just followed the trend, it was God's will!"

As he spoke, Qi Zhongbin in front of Hui Mian lost a layer of divine light and transformed back into Ziwei Lingjun.

"伱你你"

Hui Mian was speechless, as if he had reacquainted himself with the divine man in front of him.
