Although the sacrifices to heaven and earth at the Temple of Heaven were still solemn, everyone was a little absent-minded.

It's just that Yan Shouyun can't see it. He has been running since he escaped from the Temple of Sacrifice to Heaven, so he couldn't care about anything else.

Hui Mian stood at the top of the Ancestral Temple, looking at the direction where Yan Shouyun was leaving quickly, and grinned. Did this guy really run away?

Hey, it’s not that I don’t help you, it’s that you don’t know what to do!

Although it was already dawn, the sky was overcast. Yan Shouyun had already run to the city gate and was mixed in with the crowd waiting to leave the city.

After the city gate opened, Yan Shouyun immediately left with the people entering and leaving the city.

Although I felt uneasy, it seemed that no more trouble occurred this time, and I was not subject to any special investigation. At most, I was only looked at by the soldiers at the city gate.

However, he was running too fast, so Yan Shouyun didn't pay too much attention to the direction, and subconsciously ran towards the city gate where Chengtian Port was located.

When he left the city and saw the already busy Beijing and Hong Kong, Yan Shouyun realized that he shouldn't be here.

Firstly, the cost of taking a boat is a problem, and secondly, taking a boat at the port can easily reveal your whereabouts. In fact, you should take the mountain trail.

But even after arriving, Yan Shouyun subconsciously took a few more steps toward the port. Maybe he might not be able to escape by boat. He could first take the boat and walk for a while, and then disembark in the middle and change the route.

Yan Shouyun thought so and hurried to the port.

The wind blowing in the direction of Thirteenth Floor carried a hint of rouge fragrance, and there were also people on the road who had just left the gentle countryside in the early morning and were heading to the city.

Some people would ask Yan Shouyun if he would attend the Dharma Appreciation Conference when they met him, but he would just respond with a few words.

Ordinary people cannot see it when worshiping heaven, but in the actual Dharma appreciation conference, there is no restriction on people watching, as long as you can pass it.

Therefore, there were many people discussing the Dharma Appraisal Conference on the road. Yan Shouyun could only treat it as if he had no intention of participating, or that he was not qualified to participate. It would be best if no one came to ask him.

When you get to the port, you can look for it casually. Of course, there are also passenger ships that will leave the port soon. Many cargo ships don't mind charging people a ride.

Yan Shouyun asked three places, and finally decided to go back to the small boat he originally asked about. After all, the boat was small and convenient for docking, and it was also convenient to disembark midway.

It was also at this time that Yan Shouyun suddenly noticed something, or it could be said that he saw something.

It was the feeling of wisps of fire. Yan Shouyun looked in a direction along the light. Among the people at the loading dock not far away, there were people who seemed to have fire burning on their bodies.

The person standing in that position was none other than the boss, Xiao Yuzhi. At this moment, he was still wearing the official uniform, but he did not wear the official hat. His gray hair was only wrapped with a hairband.

Obviously, Xiao Yuzhi was looking at Yan Shouyun. He might have just arrived not long ago, and he also realized that he was discovered by Yan Shouyun, or he didn't hide it in the first place.

In Yan Shouyun's eyes, the CEO who was still far away in his sight seemed to flicker vaguely for a few times, and suddenly he was in front of him.

This really shocked Yan Shouyun. The boss knew magic, too. His speed was like moving, even more exaggerated than walking by magic.

Yan Shouyun was stunned and didn't know what to say, but Xiao Yuzhi spoke first.

"The Taoist Master is leaving?"

"Well"

Yan Shouyun's voice started to rise, but he could not form a complete word. After all, he had something to say and remained relatively silent.

And Xiao Yuzhi couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Yan Shouyun.

"The Taoist priest at the Imperial Ancestral Temple angrily denounced the chaos in the court. Xiao admired it. Your Majesty is stubborn. The Taoist priest wants to leave, and Xiao also understands."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Shouyun was slightly shocked. The boss obviously took into account the sacrifice to the Temple of Heaven just before dawn.

However, Yan Shouyun also felt at ease. With the old man's ability, if he had taken action just now, even if he suddenly understood some of the magic's secrets, he might not be able to escape.

Being able to talk like this here means that the boss is ready to let me go again!

Yan Shouyun remained calm. After thinking for a moment, he felt that it would be impolite not to say a word, so he said with a helpless smile.

"If I don't leave, sooner or later I will be caught by the Forbidden Army and your yamen people, and I'm afraid I will also implicate you, the chief arrester!"

Xiao Yuzhi looked at Yan Shouyun and seemed to hear a little helplessness, but also seemed to be teasing.

Xiao Yuzhi's heart was inclined towards Yan Shouyun being an expert, and what happened this morning made it even more certain. He had come into contact with some real experts, and they were as focused on fate as Taoist Yan, so he knew that he might not be able to force anything.

But an expert can come and go, come and go, but Xiao Yu has been earning a salary for decades, and has been enforcing the law for decades. He has witnessed the prosperity of the times and the peace of the world, and it is impossible to just sit idly by and ignore some things.

"Xiao Mou heard that real masters don't want to get involved in government affairs. I don't force the Taoist priest to stay. I also know that even if Xiao Mou has reached the innate realm, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep the Taoist priest."

A warrior in the innate realm?

Yan Shouyun's scalp felt numb for a while, and his hair had a tendency to stand up. This kind of legendary warriors have all met him!

He didn't think the boss could lie, at least there was no need to lie at this moment.

Xiao Captou, you really think highly of me. I'm afraid my magic won't work on you.

Of course, Yan Shouyun would not talk about this psychological activity, and he also knew that there was more to the boss's words, so he waited quietly.

Sure enough, Xiao Yuzhi looked at Yan Shouyun and said the second half of the sentence.

"Xiao's mortal eyes cannot recognize the evil spirits of demons, but the Taoist priest has a clear eye. He has seen through everything in the Ancestral Temple, and even scared many demons to escape."

Xiao Yuzhi paused slightly before continuing.

"Xiao wants to ask, are there any demons among the remaining mages holding the list?"

Yan Shouyun frowned slightly, recalling the feeling just now almost instantly. Although it was chaotic before, the various auras in his eyes were actually more obvious at that time.

There was nothing to hesitate, Yan Shouyun nodded lightly.

"besides!"

Xiao Yuzhi looked a little more serious and said something else.

"I know that for cultivators like Taoist Master, it may be suspected of revealing secrets, but I hope that the Master will tell Xiao that for the sake of Xiao's loan to you before, who are those monsters?"

Yan Shouyun seemed to understand something, and the boss had other thoughts. If the emperor persisted in his obsession, and if the court could not impeach the demon, was he prepared to do it himself?

"Captain Xiao, demons are different from ordinary warlocks, and those who can become human without chaos in the situation just now are even more different."

At this moment, Yan Shouyun was a little frightened when he recalled it. He even suspected that there was a legendary monster in disguise around the emperor.

"Please tell the mage!"

Xiao Yuzhi just looked at Yan Shouyun and said no more unnecessary words.

Yan Shouyun also looked at Xiao Yuzhi. He didn't immediately say it, not because of some secret, but simply because he was afraid that the old catcher would do something stupid.

Although he usually told fortune tellers, did things, and occasionally mentioned heavenly secrets, to be honest, Yan Shouyun felt that he had not yet reached that level of Taoism, and such high-level words as heavenly secrets were used casually.

But then I thought about it, if the boss didn't even know who the monster was, it might be more dangerous for the boss to arrest him.

"That's it. Before Pindao left, he took a rough look and found that among the remaining two hundred or so mages, there were thirteen paths of demonic energy, respectively at the southwest corner and the northeast corner of the array at that time, and the three paths near the Ancestral Temple were gathered together. , they should be the three inseparable mages, and they are also the three most dangerous. I’m sorry I didn’t see clearly where the rest are.”

Xiao Yuzhi knew that the Taoist priest could not say more, so he bowed and saluted him.

"Thank you, Taoist Priest!"

Yan Shouyun stretched out his hand to support Xiao Yuzhi, but the other party didn't move at all, so he still let him bow.

"The old catcher is so polite."

"I wish the Taoist Master a true cultivation and a smooth journey to immortality! Farewell!"

After Xiao Yuzhi straightened up, he only left a blessing and then left.

Yan Shouyun frowned and looked at Xiao Yuzhi's leaving figure, but murmured what he just said.

"Is cultivation really true?"

Yan Shouyun didn't know who Xiao Yuzhi had met before, but he just wondered why this boss was more like a Taoist than me?

For Taoists like Yan Shouyun who are halfway to becoming a monk, they have to wait and see, learn and practice. There are also many Taoist priests who claim to be real people or are called real people by others. They seem to have many methods, but in the final analysis it seems to be just a title.

To put it bluntly, Yan Shouyun actually does not have a very clear self-definition for his own practice and as a warlock and Taoist.

Just as he sometimes thinks or says in his heart, just make a living.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but want to ask clearly, but when Yan Shouyun was about to speak again, he found that the boss had disappeared.

Yes, he is an innate master and his movement is so fast.

"Cultivation must be true. What can be regarded as cultivation, and what is a real person?"

While Yan Shouyun was muttering, there was a voice beside him.

"The so-called cultivation, simply put, means to obtain the true meaning, observe the wonderful scriptures, rely on understanding, rely on the dharma, rely on the nature of the mind, hold righteous thoughts, understand the original mind, understand the principles of yin and yang and the five elements, and understand the Tao and practice the way to seek the truth and cultivate the truth. "

"As for observing the wonderful scriptures, the fish swimming in the water, the animals in the mountains, the world of mortals, and the nature of heaven and earth! As for what the original intention is, it is hard to say. Maybe it is doing what you consciously should do. Maybe the person you are asking for often knows better, but he just avoids it in his heart. "

Yan Shouyun was slightly dazed, and slowly turned his head to look aside, only to see the old gentleman with uncanny storytelling skills walking over.

The man in dark green clothes is holding a folding fan, with white hair and white beard, walking with wind in his step. As he walks and talks, he is already close.

When he got close, he saw Yan Shouyun who was a little stunned. Qi Zhongbin nodded and smiled.

"I heard the Taoist Priest talking to himself and seemed to be confused. I happen to have studied some classics and have seen such words. Let's just say it, Taoist Priest, just listen to it!"

"Well, I was storytelling on the boat last night. I didn't want to meet the Taoist priest when I got off the boat this morning. It's fate. It seems that the Taoist priest is leaving Chengtian Mansion. I hope to see you again by chance!"

Qi Zhongbin bowed his hand, and then walked away. Yan Shouyun was so stunned that he forgot to return the gift, and waited for the others to walk out for more than ten steps before coming back to his senses.

"Old sir, are you going to attend the Dharma Appraisal Conference?"

Yan Shouyun suddenly asked, Qi Zhongbin looked back at him and smiled.

"No, I went to the teahouse. Yesterday I started reading for half a day, so why don't I finish it today?"

"Hey, the Taoist over there, can you still leave?"

The boatman on the dock shouted, obviously he still wanted to do this business.

Yan Shouyun looked back at the boatman over there, then turned to look in the direction of Qi Zhongbin, only to see that the man had gone away.

"Are you leaving? I'll give you another ten cents, no less!"

The boatman shouted again, but Yan Shouyun smiled.

The natural world is full of wonderful laws, and there are masters everywhere in the world, including Long Simiao, the old chief constable, and even this old storyteller.

"I'm not leaving!" Yan Shouyun shouted, and immediately trotted back!

And maybe it was God's will that I accidentally went to the Imperial Temple last night when I was drunk, or maybe the old storyteller who was chasing the marten yesterday was a master?

When Yan Shouyun trotted to the city gate, in a corner of the port, Qi Zhongbin just looked at that direction with a calm face.

"Hey, I've never seen someone like you, this is a bit shameless, aren't you afraid of the heavenly rules?"

Hui Mian's voice suddenly came from his feet. Qi Zhongbin looked down at his feet, and he didn't care when he saw the marten. He bowed to it with a smile on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Hui, but you took him to the Imperial Temple first, I just followed the trend, it was God's will!"

As he spoke, Qi Zhongbin in front of Hui Mian had dispersed a layer of divine light, and his illusionary appearance changed back to Ziwei Lingjun.

"You you you" Hui Mian was speechless, as if he had reacquainted himself with the god in front of him.
