The grass in the factory should be plucked

Chen Lie was speechless for a moment.

Wu Jiuzi sighed, "Fellow Daoist Chen, you are so confused! Tianshi Zhang has been in seclusion for a long time, and the Dao sect is gradually declining. Now that evil spirits are rampant, it is a good opportunity for us to show our skills!"

"Why bother to provoke the Queen?"

Chen Lie snorted coldly. "Master Zhang is in seclusion and won't come out. Who doesn't know that your Maoshan Sect has been ready to make a move for a long time?"

Do you think that by killing a few monsters you can claim credit from the imperial court and replace Zhang Tianshi's position?

Wu Jiuzi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you think your Lushan Sect doesn't want to? If you can't even find the ancestral altar, don't even think about it!"

Chen Lie left Maoshan Sect in disappointment.

Longhu Mountain.

This place was once known as the "Holy Land of Taoism". It is full of peaks and ridges, towering ancient trees, and clouds and mist lingering in the mountains, like a fairyland.

Ever since Zhang Tianshi went into seclusion, the Tianshi Mansion has been deserted, and his disciples have left one after another. Now the mountain has become more and more desolate.

Taoist Xuanling sat on the throne in the main hall of Tianshi Mansion, tapping the armrests with his fingers, thinking about something in his mind.

He is Zhang Tianshi's junior fellow apprentice. Ever since Zhang Tianshi went into seclusion, all the affairs of the sect have been presided over by Xuanling Zhenren.

He received a secret report from his disciples saying that for some unknown reason, mountain spirits and wild monsters in various places had been fighting each other recently, apparently fighting for territory.

Master Xuanling couldn't help but feel slightly moved.

The eldest disciple Sun Boyu said, "Master, this is a great opportunity for you to become the new generation leader of the Dao Sect!"

Xuan Ling Zhenren pretended to be displeased: "Don't talk nonsense! Your uncle is still alive, who dares to call himself the leader of the Taoism? When senior brother comes out of retreat, my Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master Dao will definitely be able to reach a higher level!"

The second disciple Zhou Boguang sighed, "Master has been in seclusion for ten years. I'm afraid... he has already lost all his Taoism, right?"

"Shut up!" Xuan Ling Zhenren scolded, "Senior brother has extraordinary magical powers and is invincible in the world. Don't make such nonsense!"

Zhou Boguang muttered, "If it weren't for Master's seclusion, how could our Tianshi Dao have fallen to this point? The leader of the world's Dao sects was actually surpassed by a woman!"

Xuanling Zhenren sighed, "Alas, the hen crows at dawn, and this attracts evil spirits to take over the world!"

Sun Boyu said indignantly: "That's right! Master, we in the Tianshi Dao have always taken it as our responsibility to exorcise demons and uphold justice. Now that the demons are causing trouble, we can't just sit there and watch!"

"Well said!" Xuan Ling Zhenren slapped the table, "Hurry up and send out invitations to all Taoists in the world to gather at Longhu Mountain. The evil spirits are in power and endangering the world. As the leader of the Taoist sect, our Tianshi Mansion should take the lead and discuss the plan to subdue the evil spirits with all Taoists!"

"Yes!" Sun Boyi was overjoyed and took the order and left.

When the Maoshan disciples were ready to go down the mountain to catch the monster and show their skills, Wujiuzi received a message from Longhu Mountain. The Tianshi Mansion summoned all the Taoists in the world to gather in Longhu Mountain to discuss the plan to subdue the monster.

He had no choice but to lead his disciples to Longhu Mountain.

Along the way, the disciples heard rumors from time to time that Master Zhang had been in seclusion for many years and was afraid that he had already lost all his Taoist skills!

Nowadays, Longhu Mountain is just a name in name only. If Xuanling Zhenren can succeed as Heavenly Master, he will surely lead all Taoist sects in the world to glory again.

When Wujiuzi heard these rumors, his gray eyebrows twisted into a knot.

I’m afraid there’s something else behind this meeting at Mount Longhu!

When the undercurrents in Taoism were surging, Jiang Li and Xie Changan had already returned to the capital with their twins, a boy and a girl.

When Aunt Lian saw that the girl had finally returned, she quickly asked the imperial physician to take her pulse.

The imperial physician confirmed that Prince Jing'an was pregnant with twins again, but the pregnancy was still too short, just over a month, and it was impossible to tell the gender.

Everyone was overjoyed. Aunt Lian even pressed Jiang Li down on the couch and said happily, "Miss, the pregnancy is not yet stable, you should stay in the mansion and don't run around!"

Jiang Li said with a bitter face: "Aunt, I just came back and there are many things waiting for me outside. How can I stay in the mansion every day?"

She has so much to do!

The first thing to do was to report to the Emperor on the formation of the "Tianjiying" and the second thing to do was to formulate specific measures on how to "rob people and money" from the Jurchens.

I heard that the red yam has had a good harvest and the yield per mu has exceeded expectations, so signing a formal peace treaty with Mongolia should be put on the agenda.

There is also the issue of the Da Diao couple being ordained as officials, and the mountains of affairs that the General Administration of Commerce has to deal with...

The Imperial Concubine gave birth to another prince, the Concubine Shu gave birth to a princess, and Shen Muchun's son Man was about to be born. She had to attend the third-day-birth banquets and full-moon banquets of various families...

There were so many things that she couldn't even count them on her ten fingers!

Aunt Lian couldn't help but frown when she saw Jiang Li counting on her fingers.

"Aunt, don't worry. I'm in good health. When I was pregnant with my lover, I was still marching and fighting. How could I be so delicate?"

Hearing her say this, Aunt Lian became even more furious: "Fortunately, our eldest daughter and eldest son are blessed with good fortune, otherwise they would have met with unreliable parents like you two, and would have died long ago... Bah, bah, listen to what I am talking about! May our eldest daughter and eldest son be safe and sound, and may good luck to us!"

Aunt Lian was so angry that she almost blurted out, "Anyway, you better behave yourself!"

"Okay, I got it, I got it!" Jiang Li was helpless.

Xie Changan was afraid that innocent people would be implicated, so he quickly made an excuse that something happened in the military camp and ran away.

He did have something to do. The Tianji Camp was newly built, and he had to make identity tokens for the immortals, formulate military regulations, and teach Chengfeng how to lead and train troops, so that he would obey orders...

Jiang Li ordered Guan Changshi to pass a sign to the palace, instructing him to go to the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow, and then he returned to his room to rest.

Aunt Lian then instructed Zhen'er and Zhu'er to bathe and change clothes for the twins, and let them have a good rest for a few days since they had been running around with their unreliable parents.

Jiang Li remembered something and pulled Aunt Lian to her ear and whispered, "Aunt, don't take off the blue bead hanging around your neck. It's a water-repellent bead, and it's very rare."

Aunt Lian was surprised: "Water-repellent beads? What are those?"

Jiang Li whispered, "That was a gift from the Mermaid King. With this pearl, there will be no water in the world that they cannot visit!"

Aunt Lian's eyes widened. What did she hear? The Shark King?!

Jiang Li had no choice but to secretly tell Aunt Lian about their trip to the East China Sea and then to the Mermaid Glaze City in the South China Sea.

Aunt Lian was dumbfounded. This unreliable pair of parents were not only unreliable, but also outrageous!

Who would take a child under two years old deep into the sea?

"Girl..." What can I say about you?

Aunt Lian didn't want to pay attention to her anymore and turned around to hug Xie Buli and Xie Buqi.

"My dearest ...

It's not easy to survive safely with such an outrageous pair of parents!

Xie Buli and Xie Buqi were very excited, and kept chattering to their aunt that they had met handsome brother Mingzhu, and there were many brothers and sisters who had beautiful fish tails like brother Mingzhu, and they sang really, really well!

"We were sitting on a huge whale and it was swimming so fast!"

"Brother Mingzhu's house is made entirely of colored glaze, and there are many, many glowing pearls and gems. It's so beautiful..."

Zhen'er and Zhu'er just thought they were telling a story and clapped their hands in support, but Aunt Lian became more and more frightened the more she listened.

This pair of twins, boy and girl, have been traveling around the world with their parents since they were very young. They have seen a lot and are very knowledgeable. When they grow up, what kind of man can catch their eyes?
