I am Zhao Zhijing, a poor Taoist priest, and I have disciples all over the world.

Chapter 22: What did the monk do to offend anyone?

Zhao Zhijing was confused. When people mentioned the source of trouble in Chongyang Palace before, he had never heard that they would specifically target monks.

Monks and Taoists are originally one family, both are monks from outside the world. But apart from this accident, I have never heard that Huo Shigen had a special grudge against the Quanzhen Taoists.

So while you are making enemies with everyone in the world, you are also taking extra care of monks?
Zhao Zhijing looked at Master Ku Mu's bald head again. It was getting dark, and candles had been lit and lanterns hung inside and outside the Changhong Escort Agency.

This bald head is indeed bright and dazzling, but it is not against any law to have a light bulb that is too bright, right?

Who did the monk offend?
"My Xianxia Sect doesn't have many disciples to begin with, and now the plaque has been torn down by the evil person who brought disaster upon the world."

Master Kurumu looked very sad, and it was obvious that he had touched a painful spot.

"Master Kurumu, please take care of your body and don't be too sad and angry."

Guan Changhong stepped forward to offer some words of comfort, then helped Master Kurumu return to his seat.

"This troublemaker has become the public enemy of the martial arts world, and even vegetarian monks who chant Buddhist scriptures and have compassion in their hearts are not spared!"

"Changhong Escort Agency and all the heroes will seek justice for our fellow martial artists!"

"Work together to slay the evil spirits!"

Guan Changhong was the first to raise his glass and toast.

"Please drink this cup to its full extent!"

Everyone present stood up in response. Famous teas were also prepared in front of Zhao Zhijing, Master Ku Mu and other monks. It seemed that they wanted to use tea instead of wine.

Cui Zhifang, who had noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, leaned slightly to the side and whispered to Zhao Zhijing, "Brother, there seems to be some misunderstanding."

Ha ha
Zhao Zhijing nodded helplessly and tiredly.

Ever since you joined Changhong Escort Agency, you have been following me. I wanted to say something to Guan Changhong just now. Do you think he gave me a chance?
What can I do?

"Drink this cup to the full, and together we shall slay the evil spirits!"

At this time, the atmosphere in the inner hall and the front yard had been stirred up. Everyone raised their heads and drank up the wine in their glasses, and they were just about to smash the glasses as a signal.

Guan Changhong stroked his beard with satisfaction and looked at Zhao Zhijing and Lu Youjiao eagerly.

"Please ask Taoist Master Zhao and Hero Lu to show us how we should act to get rid of these monsters?"

As the Nine-Pocket Elder of the Beggars' Sect, Lu Youjiao has always been regarded as the spokesperson for the current leader Huang Rong.

He himself is a honest, honest and loyal person. Although Huang Rong has lived in Peach Blossom Island for a long time and has not appeared in the Beggars' Sect for a long time, Lu Youjiao accepts all the instructions and arrangements without any hesitation.

Guo Jing once learned martial arts from Ma Yu, the head of Quanzhen Sect, so he has a close relationship with Quanzhen Sect.

Because of the relationship between Guo Jing and Huang Rong, the Beggars' Sect and the Quanzhen Sect often exchanged what they had and had close contacts.

Lu Youjiao is a simple-minded person. He knows that he is only suitable for charging into battle and does not have many ulterior motives.

Besides, others may not know Zhao Zhijing's background, but he knows it very clearly. He is the best martial artist among the three generations of disciples of Quanzhen Sect!

"Beggars are slow to think, so please ask Taoist Zhao to take charge of the situation."

Under the eager gazes of Guan Changhong, Lu Youjiao, Master Ku Mu and others, Zhao Zhijing slowly put the teacup back on the table and coughed lightly.

"The source of trouble near Xianyang City has disappeared."

Zhao Zhijing tried his best to gather the sound into a line and whispered to Guan Changhong, but unfortunately, he had never learned the skill of transmitting sound into secrets, and his internal strength was limited at that time, so he failed in the end. Hearing this, Lu Youjiao and Master Ku Mu, one of them was slow-witted and the other was old, and they could not react immediately.

Only Guan Changhong saw the opportunity the fastest. His face changed and he looked at Zhao Zhijing in disbelief.

Zhao Zhijing nodded slightly with certainty and certainty, indicating that what he had just said was not false at all.

"This"

Guan Changhong hesitated for a moment. The people in Xianyang City had been planning for two days with drums and gongs, but now the monster disappeared?
wrong!

The appearance of the root of trouble is real news. One or two people saying they saw it might be false, but how could eighty or one hundred people see it wrong at the same time?
This conflict must have touched the Quanzhen Sect's weak spot, so they sent out this great master from Chongyang Palace, who rarely moved around in the martial arts world, along with six other masters of the Zhi generation, to eliminate the evildoer who was the source of the trouble in the world at lightning speed.

As for the so-called disappearance, that must be Taoist Zhao's humble words, unwilling to take credit for it.

"I think Daoist Master Zhao did this to give face to Elder Lu of the Beggars' Sect, the heroes present, and our Changhong Escort Agency."

"Otherwise, if the Quanzhen Sect only used seven people to quell the incident, wouldn't it make us seem too mediocre?"

This guess flashed through Guan Changhong's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more it seemed reasonable. He looked at Zhao Zhijing with even more admiration.

"My fellow heroes, it's getting late today. The Quanzhen Taoist priests must be a little tired after traveling here."

"Everyone, have more food and wine, so that you can conserve your energy. We can make plans tomorrow!"

When everyone saw Guan Changhong stirring up the atmosphere for a long time and then suddenly died down, they wondered what he was planning.

But this is the Changhong Escort Agency, and since the owner has made this decision, the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect and the elders of the Beggars' Sect have no objection, so naturally, no one else will say anything.

Everyone at the main table had their meal. During the meal, Guan Changhong toasted with a few more glasses of wine and said some words that could help to bring them closer together. It was a very enjoyable experience for both the host and the guests.

After the banquet, Guan Changhong personally arranged accommodation for Zhao Zhijing and others.

Lu Youjiao was concerned about the rules of the Beggars' Sect and did not want to stay overnight in the Changhong Escort Agency. However, he could not resist Guan Changhong's kindness in keeping him. Moreover, after hearing what Zhao Zhijing said at the dinner table, he also wanted to communicate with him, so he finally stayed.

The manor of Changhong Escort Agency is not small, with dozens of guest rooms alone. Guan Changhong picked out the best ones and then ordered the servants to serve tea and snacks.

Everything was arranged, and Guan Changhong wanted to have a good chat with Zhao Zhijing, but unfortunately the housekeeper came in from outside and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Master Zhao, please take a rest first. I have some family matters to take care of. I will come back to ask for advice later."

"No, no, Chief Escort Guan, please do as you please."

After seeing Guan Changhong off, Zhao Zhijing finally calmed down. After tidying up a bit, he sat at the table and sipped two sips of tea.

Hmm. The top-quality small dragon and phoenix dumplings have a strong tea aroma and a long aftertaste.

Of course, if not, then forget what I said.

Zhao Zhijing was thinking of taking a rare moment of leisure, but footsteps were heard outside the door again.

"Brother Zhao, do you mind if I come in?"

Lu Youjiao had a straightforward personality and had met the Seven Masters of Quanzhen several times, so he did not beat around the bush and directly called Zhao Zhijing "brother".

Zhao Zhijing thought that no one in this world was better informed than the Beggars' Sect, and he knew Lu Youjiao inside out, so he could go and broaden his horizons.

"Brother Lu, that's not right. I'm more than happy to have you here. Please come in quickly!"
