Shudi.

The majestic green city has continuous mountains.

Halfway up one of the mountains, there is a Taoist temple, which looks quite ordinary, with broken and falling stone walls inside and outside, which seems to tell the history of the past, and seems to show that it has suffered a baptism of war.

However, around the Taoist temple, many people were gathering, whispering at the row of soldiers in front of the door.

At this moment, this seemingly small Taoist temple was formed into a circle by soldiers inside and out, all holding swords in their hands, their faces were cold, exuding a solemn aura, and they looked like they had been on the battlefield for a long time.

One by one, they watched their surroundings vigilantly.

But it is also this kind of formation, attracting a large number of people to watch, if it is not because the night is dark, the foot of the mountain is not very peaceful, a little worried people, do not dare to come out at this time, I am afraid that there will be more onlookers.

Even now, there are a lot of people, talking in low voices, each giving advice.

"That General Li has come over to invite the old immortal again!"

"Isn't it? This is the third time, it's really sincere, it is said that the general still wants to worship the old fairy as a teacher, it's really amazing, isn't the way of the teacher going to be carried forward that day? ”

"But I heard that General Li doesn't seem to be from the imperial court, do you say that the old immortal didn't agree because he was worried about this?"

"Be quiet, in case someone hears it, can you carry the knife and gun, or can you run too fast?"

"Isn't it? However, this General Li is also very powerful, he asked to see him several times, but he failed to get his wish, and he was replaced by other officials, who were either angry or left with his sleeves brushed up, but this one came to visit repeatedly, which is really heartfelt. ”

"But since the old fairy is unwilling, it may be that the ghost god is not optimistic about this ......"

"You kid, what nonsense!"

After all, the discussion of the crowd was still restrained, and as soon as they heard that someone was involved in a more sensitive area, someone immediately came out to interrupt, for fear of angering the soldiers.

However, they were too worried, because the order these soldiers received at the moment was just to guard the Taoist temple and not let others approach, and in order to express their goodwill, the general Li even instructed these soldiers that if the people wanted to break in, they could not use force, and after stopping them, they would ask for the reason, go in and report to him, and he would decide.

It stands to reason that such a trivial matter, where does it need to be decided by a hero, but the reason why General Li did this is because the master of the Taoist temple here is not an ordinary person.

Da-da-da-da!

Just as the people gathered to discuss, and the soldiers waited quietly, there was a hurried sound of horses' hoofs, from far and near, and then two fast horses arrived.

The two horses came in such a hurry that the people along the way subconsciously avoided them.

However, before the two horses could make contact with the crowd, the two riders on the horses suddenly pulled the reins, stopped the momentum, and then turned over and dismounted.

"I've seen two generals."

The soldiers, after seeing the faces of the two clearly, greeted them in unison.

Both of them were dressed up, and they didn't say much when they heard this, and walked directly inside.

However, it was still blocked by the leader of the soldiers.

"Two generals, the general has an order, if anyone comes, you have to report to him before you can enter." The leader was so cold that he didn't even speak, as if he didn't buy anyone's account.

"Hmph, it's so annoying, don't you look at who we are?" One of the two snorted coldly, this was a relatively young-looking man, who seemed to be less than thirty years old, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was full of spirit, "This is the general's own brother, if he wants to enter a Taoist temple, he will be stopped by you, so he has to wait for the report?" It seems that our Li family's southern and northern wars have been done in vain all these years. ”

The leader of the soldiers' face changed slightly, but he still stood still, and was about to speak.

Another man on horseback spoke.

This person looked quite dignified, there was no eagerness in his expression, and he turned his head to reassure the young man, "Li Yun, don't be anxious, Zhong Jun has orders, then he should follow them, and he can't break his rules." ”

After speaking, he said to the general guarding the door: "You are good, loyal to your duties, our Li family needs this kind of person, you go in and tell the general, just say that I Li Shi is here, I hope to go in to meet Fan Daochang." ”

"Yes! Checkmate! The leader of the soldiers showed gratitude, and as soon as he turned around, he hurriedly rushed in, and soon walked out of the Taoist temple, came to Li Shi and Li Yun, and said respectfully: "The general let the two of you go in and listen to the teachings of the Taoist chief together." ”

"Thank you." Li Shi nodded and walked into the Taoist temple with the young man Li Yun, but Li Yun still snorted coldly when he passed by the leader of the soldiers.

When the two walked in, the people around them gathered together again and couldn't help but discuss, but this time the topic fell on the two newcomers.

"What is the origin of these two people, they are so majestic, this soldier just now, he looks really majestic, but in front of these two people, he still has to bow his head and speak."

"Didn't you listen to what the two of them said just now, one of them seems to be the brother of General Li, and the other surnamed Li is probably also the brother of the general."

"I know a little bit about this, that Li Shi is the eldest brother of the general Li Xiong, their father is the former Li Te, the general is Li Te's third son, the two elder brothers, one is this Li Shi, and the other is called Li Dang, as for that Li Yun, he is their distant relative, but he is also from the Li family."

"So that's the case, Brother Tai is really insightful."

"Where is it, it's just walking and doing business in Shudi, and I've seen a lot, but my real specialty is to run fast."

……

When the people outside were talking, the protagonists of their discussions, Li Shi and Li Yun, who had just walked in, were moving forward slowly.

This temple is not big from the outside, but the inside layout is perfect, as soon as you enter the door is the courtyard, and then there is a long corridor.

Because it was night, there were several lights on the corridor, but each light was not close to each other, so it was not bright and still looked dim.

This bright or dark light shone on the faces of the two, and the expressions of the two were cloudy.

"It's a Taoist temple, I don't see a few people at night, and there are still oil lamps," Li Yun suddenly whispered, "We have just occupied Chengdu now, and even the generals don't dare to use lamp oil indiscriminately, so we want to save it, but this Taoist priest is so extravagant." ”

"This Taoist is not ordinary," Li Shi glanced at him, "This Fan Changsheng's prestige is all over Shu, but all believers in the Heavenly Master Dao must call him a sect leader, that squire and local tyrant, regimental brave soldiers, he is even more respectful of a god, if this person helps, then my Li family may really be able to gain a foothold in Shudi!" ”

"Humph! Shu is what we have beaten down, can we still gain a foothold? Hanting's soldiers and horses are vulnerable! Now that Liangzhou is under the general, most of the Shu Road is in the hands, with the help of natural insurance, who can enter? Do you still have to rely on him as a Taoist? ”

After saying this, Li Shi was about to answer, but he had already heard a sentence from front of him-

"Immortal Chang is actually going to Youzhou? Why is that? ”
