Chapter Twenty-Three

The old Taoist priest stroked his beard, sat upright on the chair, slowly picked up the tea cup with his right hand, brought it to his mouth and blew a few breaths calmly, and said to the two men lightly.

"So, someone told the person in the palace that something happened to Nanli, right?"

The man nodded. As an imperial guard at the time, he heard clearly when Fu Xi received Xi Zuo who had secretly inserted himself in Nanli to report the incident.

The old Taoist priest looked at the man with a smile on his face and asked in a sarcastic tone.

"The order for you two to tell me this matter was probably not given by the one in the palace, right?"

After saying this, the old Taoist priest drank the strong tea in the cup in one gulp and reached out to wave to the young Taoist priest who was holding the teapot beside him.

The man frowned and said in a somewhat unhappy tone.

"Whether this matter is approved by His Majesty or not, it is also the intention of the big shots in the court. Could it be that Master Mu De is unwilling to take action?"

The old Taoist priest Mu De grinned a few times, turned his head and waited for the young Taoist priest to fill his teacup with tea. Then he gently patted the chair next to him with one hand. The young Taoist priest quickly sat down peacefully.

After the little Taoist priest sat down, the old Taoist priest Mu De leaned towards the back of the chair, his whole body became lazy, and he answered the man lightly.

"You younger generation are really impatient. When they heard that something happened to Nanli, everyone wanted to take advantage of the situation. But when it comes time to take action, don't you all have to come to us old people to take action for you? Okay

Let you sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor.”

After saying this, the man suddenly became angry. He pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it directly at the face of the old Taoist priest, saying angrily.

"I call you Master Mude because of your age, but don't think that I'm really afraid of you?! You old guy who relies on his old age and sells his old age."

The other woman, seeing the man acting like this, pursed her lips and smiled, staring at the little Taoist priest with fiery eyes.

A gust of cold wind blew outside the house, and the woman turned her head to look at the door. But when she turned back, she saw that the man who was traveling with her had already lost his head and body.

At this time, the man's body was still standing straight on the spot, no blood was sprayed, and the sword in his hand had not yet fallen. However, his head fell to the ground in that moment.

Seeing the arrogant expression on that head, the woman suddenly panicked and looked at the old Taoist Mu De who was watching coldly, trembling all over.

"You, you, you, you you"

At this time, the woman was so frightened by the scene before her that she couldn't even speak clearly. Not only was her body shaking, but her expression was no longer the same as before.

The old Taoist priest Mu De stood up lightly, walked slowly to the body that had no head, stretched out his hand and pushed it, and then the body fell back heavily, and blood flowed out from the neck.

of blood.

Slowly walking to the head with an angry face, Old Taoist Mu De snorted at the thing and said, "You kid, you are really shameless, I asked you to come to me."

Didn't that so-called big shot tell you that what bothers me the most is someone pointing a sword at me?"

After the old Taoist priest Mu De said this to the thing, he turned to the young Taoist priest and continued, "Go, clean up these things and throw them into the backyard to be used as fertilizer."

The little Taoist priest curled his lips and snorted as if he was not used to it. The scene that looked extremely terrifying to others was just like an ordinary thing in the eyes of the little Taoist priest. At this time, he felt in his heart

What's a pity is that I didn't see clearly how Old Taoist Mu De took action, right?

Seeing that the little Taoist priest listened to his words, the old Taoist priest Mu De nodded with satisfaction, then glanced at the woman, wiped his hands, and said

"You go on for that guy, I'm listening."

After saying that, the old Taoist priest Mu De had already returned to the chair and sat down. He put the whisk on the coffee table, picked up the still warm tea with one hand and took a sip.

after some time

The little Taoist priest walked into the room and stretched his muscles. It would not be too tiring for a half-year-old child to carry an adult man to the backyard of the Taoist temple.

"Hey master, where is the girl? Should you give her to her too?"

When the old Taoist priest Mu De heard this, his face changed. Why did he become a murderous Taoist priest in the eyes of this young Taoist? Sure enough, the whisk didn't hurt. I should use something else to slap him next time, huh.

..find a whip.

With this thought in his mind, old Taoist priest Mu De calmly replied:

"She has returned to life. How could I attack a woman for no reason? Do you deserve a beating?"

The young Taoist priest said suspiciously, then walked behind the old Taoist priest Mu De, and slapped his back, saying with a smile while doing so.

"Master, what happened to Nanli? Everyone in the palace came to see me."

The old Taoist priest Mu De stretched his body, changed his position and let the little Taoist priest continue to beat his back, and answered leisurely.

"What else could it be? There is another detailed plan to report that Nanli Feng Buping was seriously injured. I want His Majesty in the palace to take this opportunity to order the robbery of the border between Nanli and Dongxun. This kind of thing can be reported in a year

Seven or eight times, I just ignored it, but the juniors in the court actually believed it was true this time and sent people to ask me to take action to stop the old bald donkey with the iron arrow. They are really a bunch of stupid people."

The little Taoist laughed loudly and said jokingly, "Could it be that some of the high officials in the court have grudges against you, master, and want to take this opportunity for you, master, to have a run-in with Feng Buping?"

"

This was just a joke made by the little Taoist priest. If someone else had made such a joke, the old Taoist priest Mu De would have killed that person long ago.

Old Taoist priest Mu De said lightly.

"Look, even you little brat knows this is impossible, but those so-called young heroes of Dongxun seem to believe it."

It's no wonder that the current juniors have only heard about Feng Buping's extremely high level of cultivation. They all think that the name of Sword Master is just touted. It's really ridiculous. Although the old Taoist priest Mu De did not follow Feng Buping.

However, he went to Nanli on behalf of the Dongxun Taoist family more than ten years ago to discuss the ideas they believed in with the old monk Tie Jian. At that time, the two middle-aged people also competed in martial arts. Although they fought three times,

There was no winner or loser, but the sharp arrows fired by the old monk Iron Arrow made the old Taoist Mu De jealous. If he had accidentally hit an arrow at that time, he would probably have lost half his life.

.

But even if he fought an old Iron Arrow monk who was on par with him, he had been defeated by Feng Buping in a battle with Feng Buping before that. If this happened to him, it would be almost like a fight.

The sword is about to run away and the ruthless character can run away.

Then the old Taoist priest Mu De seemed to have remembered something. He turned to look at the young Taoist priest, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a smile.

"Why, are you afraid that your master will take action?"

The little Taoist priest nodded hesitantly.

The reason for saying this is actually because

In fact, the little Taoist's true identity is that of a member of the Nanli royal family. A few years ago, he was sent to the old Taoist priest Mu De by a man named Qian Gonggong in the Nanli imperial palace. And the old Taoist priest Mu De met Mr. Qian. After meeting him, he found out that this man was the leader of his Taoist lineage in Nanli.

According to Eunuch Qian, it is not appropriate to say more about the identity of this little Taoist priest. Just tell the old Taoist priest Mu De and teach him as an ordinary child. Let him learn Taoism from the old Taoist priest Mu De. Law.

Old Taoist priest Mu De was also surprised at the time. Your father-in-law’s attainments in Taoism were no worse than mine. Why did he need to send this child all the way from Nanli to Dongxun?

At that time, Eunuch Qian smiled bitterly and said that his Taoism had ceased to be orthodox more than a hundred years ago, and the path he was taking now was no longer the path taken by the Taoist sages in the past.

His own path is not suitable for this child. Eunuch Qian still hopes that this child can learn the most orthodox Taoist techniques from the old Taoist priest Mu De, instead of becoming a demon heretic like him.

"Don't think too much. Even if Feng Buping was seriously injured in an accident, you Nanli can still count the number of martial arts masters who can hold up the situation, and among those few, one or two are still you. I am quite afraid of you, Master."

Having said this, the faces of Old Monk Iron Arrow and Eunuch Gan appeared in the mind of old Taoist Mu De.

Seeing the little Taoist priest nodding his head in understanding, the old Taoist priest Mu De breathed a long sigh of relief and explained to him

"Let me tell you, kid, Feng Buping's combat prowess is equivalent to one of the top in the continent, and the monks of the class below him, that is, your master and I, are of the same class as Nanli. There are at least five people left, and I, Dong Xun, even if you include your master and me, I estimate that there are only three people with such fighting strength, so even if Feng Buping is seriously injured and unable to take action, I, Dong Xun, will try our best to take advantage of the situation. As for Nan Li, he is already at a disadvantage just in terms of top-notch combat power, let alone the strength of the army that you kid can't understand."

After the little Taoist priest listened to the old Taoist priest Mu De carefully explaining the matter to him, he nodded with sudden enlightenment, and immediately jumped out of the door with satisfaction.

Seeing the little Taoist priest's figure fading away, the old Taoist priest Mu De sighed for some reason, and murmured to himself in an unclear tone, "But if this is true, then I, Dong Xun, will definitely not be the only one to take action. "

What Old Taoist Mu De said is actually very simple.

Since Dongxun has received a detailed report that Feng Buping was seriously injured and has not recovered, I believe that several other neighboring countries of Nanli also knew about this matter at this time, although Nanli still has at least five top combatants even if Feng Buping is removed. There are only three monks in Dongxun, but if the top combat powers from other countries are added by then.

Nanli's situation suddenly became a little dangerous.

The top combat power has fallen into a disadvantage. Even Nanli's army is the strongest in the mainland and is commanded by the old man of the Bai family, a famous general. However, in the end, it is still difficult to defeat the four-handed army with two fists.

Moreover, if this matter is proven to be true, even if I don't want to take action, under the influence of the general trend, I will definitely be forced to take action in the end.

When he thought about how his only little disciple would treat him in the future, old Taoist priest Mu De's expression became increasingly uglier, and he couldn't help but secretly thought to himself.
