I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Zhao Chuyi shook her head without any hesitation.

Obviously, he has no interest in these things.

Seeing this, Diemeng didn't say much and went back to the side room to rest.

...

at the same time.

In front of the thatched cottage on the mountain behind Qingfeng Temple in Yanshan.

Shanyuan dragged his heavy feet and suddenly felt a sweetness in his throat. He spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pu" sound.

"Come see me."

At this moment, I suddenly heard the voice of a young child.

"Yes."

Shanyuan frowned, responded, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.

Then his figure flashed and instantly disappeared into the waterfall far away in the courtyard.

There is a tunnel behind the waterfall, but it is not very long.

Shanyuan's steps were not fast, but he soon reached the deepest part.

"Master, are you awake?"

Shanyuan looked at the old figure sitting cross-legged on the mat in front of him and asked with his body bent.

Obviously, the master Shanyuan mentioned was only one person.

That was the leader of the human sect of the previous generation, Wujizi, who was known as the old immortal by the world.

"How long?"

However, coming out of this old body was a voice as tender as that of a young child.

"Three years. Master has been in seclusion for three years this time."

Shan Yuan answered without hesitation.

"You are hurt?"

"Thank you for your concern, Master. I am fine."

Shanyuan was not surprised. He could tell that the person in front of him was injured because he didn't look back.

"is that you?"

At this time, the tone of the child's voice became slightly heavier, as if he was accusing someone.

"I wonder what Master is talking about?"

Hearing this, Shan Yuan was stunned and asked respectfully.

"You went to the wilderness?"

Wujizi asked.

Shan Yuan thought about it and said hesitantly:

"The stone statue in the wilderness has cracks, so the disciple..."

"How long can I last?"

Wujizi interrupted Shanyuan before he could finish.

"More than a hundred years."

Hearing this, Wujizi sighed deeply.

At this time, Shanyuan coughed again, his face suddenly turned pale, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Wujizi swung his sleeves backwards, and a stream of true energy entered Shanyuan's body.

After a while, Shan Yuan's face regained some color and he saluted and said:

"Thank you Master!"

Wujizi shook his head slightly and sighed:

"It's a pity that your Yuan Yang has been destroyed, and you can't inherit my legacy. In your current state, I can't do anything for you."

Shanyuan maintained his gesture of greeting without saying a word.

"Have you figured out the second half of the Tao Te Ching you mentioned?"

At this time, Wujizi asked again.

"This scripture was obtained by the disciple in a dream, and I did not foresee the second half."

Shan Yuan replied respectfully.

"Forget it. This is just something that I cannot fully comprehend. So, go ahead."

Shanyuan lowered his head and walked backwards out of the tunnel.

However, before he took two steps, he heard Wujizi say:

"Send two disciples to the Saint Residence with some medicine. Tell them that the old Taoist priest is not dead yet, and don't put all the blame on the Human Sect."

"Master fought with someone?"

Shan Yuan paused and spoke.

"I'm old now, and when someone disturbs my sweet dreams, I'll naturally hit him harder."

Wujizi's tone was flat, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"Master, I know a thing or two about Confucianism."

Shan Yuan gritted his teeth and spoke.

"You don't need to tell me these things. I'm old now, and all I can do is use my old bones to protect you for a few more years..."

As he spoke, a soft snoring sound was heard in the tunnel.

Shanyuan returned to his bamboo garden.

There was suddenly a hint of confusion in his eyes, and he stood motionless in the yard.

Until the sun slowly rose in the sky and a beam of sunlight shone into his eyes.

He then subconsciously blinked, then a little surprise appeared on his face, and he said in surprise:

"Good!"

At the foot of Qingfeng Mountain.

Liangdu's figure flickered in the mountains and forests.

"Congratulations, nephew. In such a short period of time, you have been able to comprehend the meaning of 'forgetfulness' from the bamboo slips."

Suddenly, Shanyuan appeared in front of Liangdu with a faint smile on his face.

Liangdu paused, and a flash of astonishment flashed across his eyes. It was obvious that he did not notice Shanyuan's arrival.

"I have seen Junior Master Uncle. It's just a trick. Junior Master Uncle saw through it at a glance."

Liangdu spoke in a humble tone, but there was a smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, Shanyuan flicked his sleeves and a gust of wind hit Liangdu's chest.

Liang Du groaned, half-knelt on the ground, and his face suddenly turned extremely pale:

"I wonder what Junior Master means by this?"

"Do you know who you have invited?"

Shanyuan's expression gradually turned cold as he spoke word by word.

"No, I don't know."

Beads of cold sweat appeared on Liangdu's forehead, and it became difficult for him to speak.

"Leave Xing Dynasty. We don't need you for the time being."

Obviously, Shanyuan had no intention of giving Liangdu an explanation, but gave a direct order.

"But Li Mu..."

"Go to Gray Grassland and give this to the leader of the Sky Elephant Clan."

Without waiting for Liangdu to continue speaking, Shanyuan pulled out a wooden box from his sleeve and threw it into his arms.

"This...this is..."

"It's not a treasure. If you want to know, just look for yourself."

Shanyuan chuckled, his tone very relaxed.

Liangdu hurriedly opened the wooden box, but saw a necklace inside, which should be made of animal teeth and bones. He looked puzzled.

Then he saw a strip of cloth in the wooden box. Just as he was about to reach out to grab it, his hand suddenly stopped in the air and he looked up at Shan Yuan.

"Look if you want to."

Hearing this, Liangdu hurriedly opened the cloth, only to see a row of words on it that he could not understand at all.

At this time, Shan Yuan said:

"This is Rannu writing, which means, 'I am at Donglai Pass.'"

Liang Du's eyes flashed, he carefully put away the wooden box, and asked:

"Can I come back after I deliver the things?"

"Are you worried about your daughter?"

However, Shanyuan's words made Liangdu tremble, and he immediately knocked his head heavily to the ground.

"Don't worry, you went to Gray Grassland for this matter."

Shan Yuan glanced at Liang Du, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, and then he paused and said,

"Of course, if you can find the prescription yourself, I can pretend I don't know."

"Thank you, Junior Master. I'll leave right away."

Liangdu kowtowed several times before he stood up and walked towards the east.

However, before he could walk far, he heard Shan Yuan behind him muttering to himself:

"I was just saying it casually, is it true?"

...

Dark Evening Valley.

When Li Mu woke up, he found that Princess Yan's foot was firmly pressing on his chin.

Suddenly, a fire of evil rose in my heart.

"What is this, a reward... Bah! Are you insulting me?"

However, I don’t know how to get back the face I lost.

But he felt a chill down his spine, "Oh my god! Someone has caught me."

Li Mu suppressed his anger and consoled himself, "Forget it. Considering that it was an unintentional mistake on your part, I won't bother with you about this matter for now. We are even now."

At this moment, a woman's voice came from outside the house:

"You two, the Taoist leader invites you to the front hall."

The two women in the room opened their eyes at the same time, but were also stunned at the same time.

Ge Peining was still the same as she was last night, leaning gracefully against the bed, her hair not even a bit disheveled, and it was obvious that she was sleeping soundly.

The Princess of Yan had somehow ended up sleeping on the innermost side of the bed, with her arms and legs spread out on Li Mu's body.

"Ning'er, I..."

"Let's go to the main hall first."

Without waiting for Princess Yan to speak, Ge Peining interrupted her and turned around and jumped off the couch.

Seeing that Ge Peining had already left the house first, Princess Yan hurriedly tidied up her messy clothes and disheveled hair.

He took a few quick steps to catch up.

However, just as he reached the door, he paused, looked back at Li Mu lying on the bed, and stomped his feet hard.

He turned back to the bed and carried Li Mu on his back.

...

"These are all the necessary items for this prayer. Please have a look, ladies."

In the main hall, a disciple of Tianzong handed a list that was half a meter long to the Princess of Yan.

Obviously, she knew who the real financial backer was.

Princess Yan didn't even glance at the list. She took out two gold ingots from her waist again and threw them into the disciple's hands.

Then he turned around and looked at Diemeng in the distance, bowed and said:

"Could you please move aside, senior?"

At this moment, a harsh voice came from outside the hall:

"This is ridiculous. When will our Tianzong start and what ritual will it be?"
