Yaochi Longevity Secret

"Oh, Laojun, don't joke with me!" Ji Mengxianjun's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, "You know it very well! Don't drag me into the water! The tigress in my family will not forgive me!"

"Hehe!" Cheng Xi couldn't help laughing and asked Qing Yun curiously, "That old man is really lucky. Can you tell me who that old man is?"

Qingyun looked up and silently glanced at Taishang Laojun. Her face was as red as a boiled crab.

"This person is right in front of me, yet so far away!"

Taishang Laojun was embarrassed and hurriedly urged, "Everyone, let's hurry up! I really want to see my apprentice!"

However, a thrilling event was happening in Taiqing Palace at this time.

Taoist Priest Hu Zi, leading three groups of people, was standing in Taiqingguan Square with a menacing look!

At this time, many common people came to burn incense and worship gods, but they were dispersed by the three groups of people and fled!

Then, Taoist Master Hu Zi took the lead and stood at the entrance, shouting into the house with a menacing look on his face.

"Master Baimei, please come out quickly and hand over your disciple Yang Wanyin."

"Hand over Lu Lin from Xiangping City as well, or we will raze your place to the ground. We have laid a net, and you can't escape now. Stop struggling in vain."

When Taoist Master Baimei heard the threatening voice, he couldn't help but tremble violently in his heart, and hurriedly walked out with a group of young Taoist priests!

"Master Baimei, everyone listen!" The leader of the officers and soldiers immediately took out the portraits of Wan Yin and Lu Lin and said solemnly,

"The two people in the portrait are criminals hand-picked by our court. You must hand them over. Otherwise, you will all pay the price. We will raze your place to the ground. You'd better hand them over obediently."

Taoist Master Baimei knew that this day would come sooner or later, but he never thought it would come so soon!

He was startled and looked at the three groups of people with sharp eyes!

There were decent people from Buddhism, decent people from Taoism, as well as government soldiers. The three major gangs were eyeing him covetously.

Taoist Master Baimei knew that he could not afford to offend the people from the Buddhist and Taoist families and the people from the imperial court. He was so frightened that he could only kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.

"Everyone, I really don't know where they have escaped to! Please don't raze my Taiqing Palace to the ground!"

Taoist Priest Hu Zi glared at Taoist Priest Bai Bei fiercely and said to the leader of the soldiers,

"He is very cunning and cheated me of my money. He must be quibbling. Bury him in the ground. I believe those two people with conscience will come back!"

Taoist Master Baimei was startled and said to Taoist Master Huzi,

"Brother, I didn't expect you to be so heartless and ungrateful. I returned the money to you, and I didn't steal anything from you. How could you team up with outsiders to treat me like this?"

Taoist Priest Hu Zi saw the burning incense on the altar, and then cast a fierce glance at Taoist Priest Bai Mei. The blazing fire of jealousy in his eyes could not help but burn. He deliberately did not find fault:

"The Taiqing Palace is so grand, how dare you say that you don't usually take other people's money? So many people come to burn incense for you on weekdays, you must have embezzled their money secretly, otherwise how could the Taiqing Palace be built so grand? Now you can't wash yourself away even if you jump into the Yellow River!"

Taoist Master Baimei was speechless for a moment. He did have bad thoughts about the incense money before, but later he turned back to the right path and took from the people and gave it back to the people!

Taiqing Palace was originally a simple place, but it became magnificent in the next twenty years. It was the money he earned from fortune-telling for others, but the other party kept saying that he was greedy for other people's money. He really couldn't accept this!

If he was really greedy for money, he only took a little bit of Wanyin's fortune-telling money, but he also gave it all back to her as travel expenses! Thinking of this, he really has a clear conscience now.

"You are really going too far! I am not as dirty as you say!"

In a rage, he swung the dagger in his hand with lightning speed, pressed it against the bearded Taoist's neck, and threatened,

"Brother, you are lying and destroying my reputation. If you really want to raze this place to the ground, don't blame me for being rude!"

Seeing this situation, the bystanders were suddenly shocked.

Taoist Master Hu Zi quickly shouted for help, "Why are you still standing there? Save me quickly."

A Buddhist man, with a hint of cunning in the corners of his eyes, suddenly tightened the neck of a young Taoist priest beside him.

"Master White Eyebrows!" He shouted angrily, "Quickly let Master Beard go, or your little disciple will die!"

Taoist Master Baimei saw that his disciple was in danger, so he had to slowly let go of his hand!

The bearded Taoist smiled evilly and tightened his grip around the neck of the young Taoist priest beside him, "Tell me their whereabouts quickly!"

"I... really don't know!" The young Taoist priest was almost breathless. "You... should ask my master... Taoist Master Baimei!"

The leader of the soldiers questioned Taoist Master Baimei, "Master Baimei, I ask you again, where are those two men and women? How can you offend Prime Minister Su Haonan? Tell the truth!"

"I really don't know!" Taoist Master Baimei replied, and then he remained silent with a fearless look on his face!

"You don't know what's good for you! If you don't accept my toast, I'll drink the wine for you!"

The leader of the officers and soldiers could not help but stare at him angrily, "If you don't know where they are, I will kill all your little disciples!"

"No!" Taoist Master Baimei was horrified and shouted in fear!

At the command, the two sides immediately started fighting!

Seeing a group of young Taoist priests being beaten and seriously injured, Taoist Master Hu Zi was extremely proud.

Said to the Taoist priest Baimei who was lying on the ground dying,

"Junior brother, I never thought you would have this day!"

Taoist Master Baimei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and pleaded bitterly, "Please don't hurt my disciples anymore. If you want to fight or kill, just come after me alone!"

The young Taoist priests were terrified and begged for mercy: "Please don't kill me!"

"I can spare you!" Taoist Master Hu Zi said proudly, "Only if you call me Master from now on, and I will be in charge of Taiqing Palace from now on."

A group of young Taoist priests immediately knelt on the ground with a submissive look on their faces, and shouted respectfully and majestically: "Greetings to Master Hu Zi."

Taoist Priest Hu Zi couldn't help but burst into laughter with a smug look on his face!

The chief officer said to the Taoist priest Baimei, who had a complicated expression,

"You're so stubborn that you won't tell me where they are, right?"

"No! Really not!" Taoist Master Baimei looked embarrassed and answered frankly, "I really don't know!"

The chief officer gave an angry order, "Help me bury Taoist Baimei in the mud on the back mountain!"

Taoist Master Baimei suddenly slowly used his true energy and shouted: "Don't come over!"

Then he recited a series of mantras and a group of people fell to the ground, screaming in pain!

But after all, he was fighting alone, and soon he was surrounded and pressed by the enemy, and the enemy became the host!

Then a monk in a cassock came up to him, took out a string of Buddhist beads from his arms, and muttered something, which made him faint instantly!

"Everyone listen, bury him in the back mountain!" Taoist Master Hu Zi ordered loudly!

Seeing Taoist Master Baimei being buried in a mud pit in the back mountain, the young Taoist masters looked at this scene in astonishment, but for fear of being implicated, none of them dared to say a word!

Taoist Master Hu Zi had a sinister look on his face and laughed heartily in triumph.

"No one can save you now, Junior Brother! Taiqing Palace is mine now!"

Taoist Master Baimei's eyes were confused. He groped secretly with his hands and found himself buried in a mud pit. His heart couldn't help but twitch violently and he almost suffocated!

At the critical moment of life and death, he secretly told himself to keep calm, so he slowly spread out his palms, and tried his best to cast a spell, trying to push the mud away!

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Taoist Master Hu Zi took out a yellow talisman and pasted it on the mud pit, muttering something.

"Burn in flames! Shatter to pieces!"

He vowed to put Taoist Master Baimei to death!
