A path with slightly moss growing straight to the mountain. Several people have the skills to do it. It doesn’t take long to walk along the way. At the end of the path is the spacious area in the belly of the mountain.

There is probably a large football field here, in a spacious stone plaza, where several young Taoist men in blue Taoist uniforms are holding brooms to clean the fallen leaves on the ground.

The two sides of the square are the Sanqing Hall and the Sanhuang Hall, which both look magnificent and grand. The Taiqing Palace in front is larger than the Sanhuang Hall and Sanqing Hall.

The three palaces were filled with young Taoists who were listening to the lectures, and most of the those who taught them were middle-aged Taoists of the same age as Ling Hongzhen and others. There were a few younger ones next to them, responsible for knocking wooden fish, maintaining order, etc.

Under the guidance of the Maoshan people, Liang Ye passed through the side door of Taiqing Palace and continued to walk a long mountain road, passing through the halls of different sizes, feeling the cleansing of his soul. Compared with the hustle and bustle and impetuous world, this place can be called a paradise.

Feng Hongli pointed to the mountain peak in front of him, which was gently blocked by clouds and mist and said, "Izuyun Peak is not far ahead. We will leave here. Next, Junior Brother Jiang will take Mr. Liang to see Master He!"

These three disciples in the auditorium were responsible for welcoming and seeing off the door, guarding the door, and sending them all the way here, naturally fulfilling their mission. As the saying goes, the guest will follow the host's will, Liang Ye politely thanked them all the way, and then continued to move forward with a solemn look on his face.

Jiang Shiwu looked back and saw that the three senior brothers had already walked away, and immediately changed into a face and said, "Brother Liang, this wave of costumes is good, haha, I can actually chat with three senior brothers of the uncle level along the way!"

Liang Ye said disdainfully: "So I always ask you to read more books if you have nothing to do!"

"Look, aren't you excited yet?" Jiang Shiwu curled his lips, then crossed his hands behind his head, and said leisurely, "For geniuses, hard study is just the icing on the cake, and most people will not understand."

Liang Ye slapped him on the back of his neck: "Versailles' face that deserves a beating!"

"whee…"

...

The ninety-nine bluestone steps of Izumo Peak are narrow and steep. Because the air in the mountains is humid, the surface of the stone steps is still a bit slippery. If it were an ordinary person, if he couldn't walk halfway, his legs would be weak and he would not dare to walk again.

After Liang Ye and Jiang Shiwu stepped on the last step, they came to the residence of Kexianju, the elder of the Maoshan Sect, who lived in Maoshan Sect.

Jiang Shiwu sorted out his clothes at the door, and walked into the door with a little pride, while Liang Ye followed in generously.

The scenery inside Kexianju is like the gardens of prominent families in Jiangnan. It has rockery, corridors, springs, fish ponds, and strange flowers and plants everywhere, which are beautiful.

Before they could walk a few steps, a man with a white face and a square scarf walked out from inside. This man was born with long eyebrows and thin eyes. He first looked up and down at Liang Ye, and then said expressionlessly: "It turns out that my junior brother is back..."

Jiang Shiwu's previous smile suddenly became colder. He bowed to the man slightly and said, "Senior Brother Jiu, are you okay? Master, are you okay?"

"Master is inside, but after that day, Old Man Yi's body is not as good as before!" After the Ninth Senior Brother said that, he glanced at Liang Ye again, "Please please inside, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you."

After saying that, Senior Brother Jiu hurriedly passed by Liang Ye and Jiang Shiwu. After going out, he jumped up. The height of the ninety-nine steps was like flat ground in his eyes, and it fell far away at the foot of the mountain while breathing.

Jiang Shiwu narrowed his eyes and looked back at the Jiu brother who was walking away from Izuyunfeng with his hands behind his back. He snorted coldly: "Haha, you have been practicing for twenty years and have lived in your thirties, but you are still so arrogant!"

Liang Ye patted Jiang Shiwu on the shoulder and said, "Since everyone has the benefit of jealousy, you have to be jealous of some people, so don't blame others."

"I don't know him like him! Let's go and see the master!" Jiang Shiwu turned his face, unconsciously accelerated his pace, and walked into the corridor in the courtyard.

The corridor spans a rippling lake in Kexianju. When Liang Ye followed Jiang Shiwu to the corner close to the center of the lake, another middle-aged man with a Chinese face came across from him. He looked a few years older than the brothers in the auditorium.

The face of the Chinese character blushed, and he waved enthusiastically from a distance: "I'm back from the fifteenth! Master has been muttering you early in the morning!"

"Senior Brother Third!" Jiang Shiwu agreed and walked a few steps to meet him.

The third senior brother looked at Jiang Shiwu kindly like an elder, patted him on his shoulder, then looked at Liang Ye carefully, hesitated slightly, and then smiled, "Liang Ye, right? Master is waiting for you inside, follow me!"

Liang Ye responded friendly, and Jiang Shiwu introduced: "My third senior brother is named Cui Hongshan. When I was a child, he took care of me the most! He now lives next to his master's small attic to take care of his master. He is the most filial and loyal among all his disciples!"

"Haha! At that time, the senior brother was always invited by the official to help, and the second senior brother often helped the master to take care of the affairs of the sect. The remaining group of junior brothers was only responsible for their diet and daily life." Cui Hongshan smiled honestly, "At the fifteenth time, I was the most naughty at that time, and I often caused trouble, so I took more care of it!"

Jiang Shiwu stuck out his tongue like a child, and Liang Ye echoed: "Boy Tao has a good appearance. Shiwu is very good now! Although sometimes he is still so naughty."

When Choi Hongsun heard this, he laughed louder: "The guy said he was very well-behaved outside! It seems he was lying again!"

The three of them chatted and laughed all the way, but never met any brothers again. Liang Ye was a little puzzled. Jiang Shiwu was his master's closed disciple. There were fourteen senior brothers on it, but now he only saw two. What about the rest?

After leaving the corridor and walking for more than a hundred meters, you can see a two-story attic built in a bamboo forest. Cui Hongshan took a few steps to the entrance of the attic and reported respectfully opposite each other: "Master, Shiwu and Mr. Liang are here."

In the attic, an old voice said, "Haha, it's just right. I wonder if Xiaojiu has hit the distinguished guest?"

Cui Hongshan stammered for a moment and said, "I probably met you?" After that, he turned around and looked at Jiang Shiwu.

Jiang Shiwu nodded to Cui Hongshan, then shouted to the attic: "Master! Senior Brother Jiu left in a hurry. We greeted him briefly, there was nothing to bump into or not! Can Liang Ye and I go in now?"

"Oh! That's good, that's good!" An old man in a white Taoist suit walked out of the attic while talking, "Hongshan, you worked hard to go to the kitchen and said that there were guests here, let's have a meal tonight! In addition, your fellow brothers, call back whatever you can!"

Cui Hongshan responded with a smile, greeted Liang Ye again, and left.

The old man in the attic used a jade hairpin to tie his silver hair into a bun, his face was wrinkled, his face was a little yellow, his eyes were a little turbid, his body was a little hunched, and he looked a little weak.

"I wish to express my congratulations to Mingzhang, I have heard Mr. Liang's name for a long time. I have seen him today, and I am very relieved for my whole life." After the old man said politely, he suddenly coughed a few times, which made Jiang Shiwu look nervous.

He Mingzhang saw the worry on his apprentice's face and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, come, let's go into the house and talk."

He Mingzhang's small attic is clean and tidy, with simple furnishings. Compared with the specifications of Kexianju, it is really a bit of a price reduction.

This is easy to understand. Kexianju is the mansion of elders who have passed down the power of the past dynasties. If the configuration is low, the identity will be reduced. Only this small attic can be arranged according to the user's personal wishes.

There were exquisite tea sets on the Eight Immortals table in the living room. Jiang Shiwu rushed in front of He Mingzhang and brewed the tea with his own hands, then poured tea for his master and Liang Ye, and finally he was himself.

The three of them politely said, each sipped some tea. He Mingzhang sighed: "This child Hongzhen has been outside for three years and has suffered a little. When he came back during the Chinese New Year, he told me a lot. In his opinion, meeting Mr. Liang was the most important thing in the past three years!"

Liang Ye smiled and said, "Although Xiao Jiang is a little young and frivolous, he is kind by nature. After contacting each other, we are quite in love. We have helped each other for so long, and we have been through life and death. This friendship is also my great wealth."

"Haha, fate and opportunity are amazing!" He Mingzhang smiled, "It's like Mr. Liang's adventure, which can be called a mysterious legend. And the most important thing is that Mr. Liang can uphold his original heart and punish evil and promote good, which is a blessing in the world!"

Finally, Liang Ye was ready, so he nodded and said, "I really don't know the things in the door if I don't get started! Now that I'm in it, I know that the years in this world are quiet. It turns out that there are so many people moving forward in the undercurrent, so since I have some ability, I naturally have to do something."

He Mingzhang looked at Liang Ye with relief: "It's indeed the example of young people! So I'm eager to see you and want to ask you for something... Well... Actually, I was angry with Director Song..."

"Director Song?" Liang Ye looked at He Mingzhang in confusion, "Okay, please tell me."

He Mingzhang sighed: "A fierce battle twenty years ago seemed to be a tragic victory for the Xuanmen of Long Kingdom, but in the next twenty years, Xuanmen was unable to succeed, and few could bear great responsibilities. Therefore, Director Song also cherished Mr. Liang very much and hoped that you could serve the country!"

Liang Ye nodded: "I am willing to serve the country. Director Song also said that no one is available at the moment... But there are probably not many fierce people in the Dark Moon Alliance? A few of them are all Western, so why should you underestimate yourself to the Xuanmen of the Dragon Kingdom?"

He Mingzhang shook his head slightly: "No... In our opinion, the Taiping Sanren deliberately hid his strength. On the surface, the dark forces in the east and west merged into the Dark Moon Alliance, but in fact he wanted to use Western forces to weaken the Xuanmen of the Dragon Kingdom!

Liang Ye woke up and said, "Oh? It turns out that he wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman..."

He Mingchang said: "In the past twenty years, he has kept his low profile and has attracted many elites and strange people in the sect, but judging from the current situation, their current goal may not be to be personal strength, but to play a bigger game of chess."
