054(2/3)
Nangong Haotian, Shangguan Xiaowan and Liu Qianwen were in front. While the leading man was holding his hands and smiling and nodding towards Aunt Zhao Ling'er and the four old masters, they hurriedly turned towards the two sword-carrying Taoists and hurriedly secretly
Give me two looks!
However, the two sword-carrying Taoists acted as if they had not seen him, lowered their eyelids, and bowed their heads numbly.
Aunt Shan was about to look at them secretly to alert the attention of the Taoist priests of the Tianshan Sect in the temple, but the two of them bowed their heads and closed their eyes.
These two Taoists were dressed in gangster attire. One was stronger and the other was taller and thinner. Both were in their thirties.
At this moment, a loud Buddha's name suddenly came from inside: "Immeasurable-Shou-Buddha!"
Nangong Haotian and the other seven were shocked when they heard this, knowing that this person's internal energy was extremely profound!
Following the source of the sound, I turned around and saw the main hall in front, which was two stories high. It seemed to be a Buddhist pavilion above. The doors and windows on the upper floor were all closed, and only the four doors in the main room of the lower hall were open.
I saw a black-robed Taoist with a red face, a fat face, thick eyebrows, and a big mouth walking out from behind the shrine in the temple.
The black-robed Taoist was about forty years old. He held an iron-maned Buddha dust and a sword on his back. He walked with a tall chest, his eyes were bright and his mouth was curled into a figure. As he walked out of the hall, he looked at Nangong Haotian and others coldly.
people.
When Aunt Shan saw it, she snorted and said in a low voice: "This is not an old Taoist. He is simply a vicious monk!"
The old man was shocked when he heard this, but he did not dare to scold Aunt Shan, for fear that she would see her expression and hear something.
The great Han Shi Debiao who was guiding him ran over early, saluted Master Gao who was proudly walking down the steps of the palace, and said respectfully: "To the temple master, Shaoxia Lin and his group of seven people have come to pay a visit to our leader...
"
When Nangong Haotian and others heard about the temple master, they knew it was the evil Tao He, but they all had a modest smile on their faces!
After hearing this, Taihe was neither panicked nor friendly. He just calmly announced the Buddha's name and said: "It turns out that the seven Shaoxia Lin are here. I didn't come far to welcome you. I hope you can forgive me!"
Nangong Haotian knew that Taihe was a troublesome person, so he increased his vigilance, and hurriedly folded his hands, smiled, and said humbly: "I came down in a hurry, Taoist Master, I'm lucky not to be blamed. I heard that Master Fahe was in a critical period, so I came here to ask the master.
, when the term expires, I might as well come visit you again!”
Tai Hepi smiled and said: "The Taoist Master will be able to leave tomorrow. Young hero does not need to go down the mountain anymore. Please sit down first!"
After you finish speaking, turn sideways and bow your head as a courtesy!
However, Nangong Haotian did not enter the palace, and deliberately said humbly: "Since the Immortal Chief expires tomorrow, I will take my leave and come back tomorrow..."
Taihe then laughed heartily and said: "Since we are friends of the Taoist leader, we should treat you with courtesy. Young hero, please have a cup of tea first, and then we can decide whether to stay or stay!"
Nangong Haotian smiled happily and said, "It's just too disturbing to the viewer!"
Taihe laughed and said: "We are all family members, please don't be polite, please!"
After saying this, he bowed and bowed his head! When Nangong Haotian saw him, he had no choice but to hold his hands solemnly and invite Taihe to accompany him.
So the two of them climbed the steps side by side and walked directly towards the hall.
I saw an oil candle burning on the shrine in the main hall, and four gauze lamps hanging in the hall, which were fairly bright.
Entering the main hall, Nangong Haocai discovered that in front of the two shrines on the left and right, there was a lacquered Eight Immortals table, lacquered chairs and coffee tables and other items.
It is a rule to worship Buddha before entering the temple, and Nangong Haotian and others are no exception. Although there are eight or nine futons placed in front of the niche, only Nangong Haotian, Shangguan Xiaowan, and Liu Qianwen are in place.
Zhao Ling'er, Xue Bing'er, Gutou and Aunt Shan stood at the back, waiting for the second batch.
Doing this will not arouse Taihe's suspicion, because those with higher seniority have to bow first, and masters and servants must bow first when they enter the palace. However, it has the effect of monitoring Taihe's sudden sneak attack.
As soon as Taihe saw Nangong Haotian and the others walking towards the futon, he respectfully walked to the incense stick, quickly counted the nine sticks of incense, and handed them to Nangong Haotian and the others three sticks each in order.
Nangong Haotian and the other three took the incense with solemnity and piety, and approached the flame of the oil candle in front of the Buddha to light it.
After Taihe handed the incense to Nangong Haotian and the others, he also bowed and retreated to the side of the shrine, standing solemnly with his head in awe, looking pious!
Nangong Haotian and others paid great attention to Taihe's every move out of the corner of their eyes. Although he looked solemn at this time, he looked like a Taoist who abides by the rules.
While Nangong Haotian and the others were burning incense, they still used their true power silently, maintaining high alertness and being ready to attack at any time! Gutou and Zhao Ling'er all stood calmly and solemnly, but they were always on guard against Taihe's secret moves!
However, until Nangong Haotian and the others lit incense on the oil candles and slowly walked back to the futon, the tall Taihe was still there, with a solemn look on his face and his head lowered.
Liu Qianwen and Shangguan Xiaowan stood in awe holding incense, looking at the Supreme Master in the yellow curtain, slowly kneeling on the futon, praying secretly in their hearts, bless the seven of them to eradicate the Nine-Headed Owl and restore the original Tianshan Sect!
Nangong Haotian hoped that Chu Meng would be well and wait for him. After praying, the three of them kowtowed!
Just when Nangong Haotian, Shangguan Xiaowan and Liu Qianwen were kowtowing, there was a loud and earth-shaking sound, shocking the soul, and the light in the palace suddenly darkened.
Nangong Haotian and others looked startled, and subconsciously jumped up. They looked at Taihe and made a flying move with a snap of their fingers.
However, where Taihe was standing just now, the floor was still shaking slightly. It was obvious that the mechanism had fallen and the evil path had jumped into the underground mechanism room.
Everyone shifted their gazes and looked around, and found four dark iron walls falling from behind the shrine to under the palace door, and between the two longitudinal beams on the left and right.
Gutou flew up to the iron wall under the palace gate and pushed with his hand, knowing that the iron plate was very thick.
At this time, everyone realized that Taihe was cunning. He had already seen through their plans, but he just pretended not to know, led them into the palace, and trapped them with iron walls.
Based on this fact, they believed that Old Fahe's imprisonment might have been fabricated, and they also believed Granny Xuan's words - the nine-headed owls were all evil-minded and resourceful.
Shangguan Xiaowan saw that everyone was a little flustered, and deliberately confused and anxiously said loudly: "Brother, why is that Immortal Taihe doing this?"
This sentence reminded Nangong Haotian and others. Nangong Haotian reacted immediately and said in surprise and confusion: "Yes, we did not insist on seeing Master Fahe..."
"No one who knows our palace master sincerely worships Buddha, but you are..." Taihe's cunning laughter came from the altar table under the shrine.
Nangong Haotian said helplessly in a deep voice: "We came to visit our uncle because of our ancestor's orders and our ancestor's instructions..."
Taihe asked in a deep voice: "What do you want to explain?"
Nangong Haotian knew that Taihe had not found out their purpose and details yet, so he relaxed a lot and said: "About the matters between the masters and the elders? It is inconvenient for us to comment on the younger generation, but we must not make any comments because of the elders.
There is discord between us, and we don’t recognize Immortal Fahe as our master…”
Taihe smiled coldly: "My eldest brother and I have known each other for more than 20 years, but I have never heard him talk about his master and junior brother..."
Nangong Haotian felt something in his heart when he heard this. He secretly rejoiced and said seriously: "Everyone has his own privacy. Even if he is as close as a father and son, sometimes he also has his own personal secrets, let alone Jielan's good brother?"
After saying this, he paused and asked seriously: "Excuse me, Taoist Master Taihe, you and my uncle have been brothers for so many years, do you have any secrets that you haven't told my uncle?
?”
When the words fell, Taihe said: "I...I am confident that there is no secret!"
Nangong Haotian did not sneer, but said: "That's because you are too honest. I am also happy that our senior uncle has such an honest sworn brother like you..."
"You don't need to compliment me..." However, Taihe in the shrine smiled coldly.
Nangong Haotian pretended not to have heard anything and continued: "But, my uncle was kicked out of the door by my ancestor..."
As soon as the words were spoken, Shangguan Xiaowan and Liu Qianwen shouted: "Brother! Brother!"
Nangong Haotian suddenly stopped talking.
The cunning Taihe said calmly: "My eldest brother has indeed not talked to us about these things. Maybe he is afraid that he will be too sad. In fact, even if he talks about it, we might still stop him from talking about it?"
Although he said this, he still pretended to be indifferent and asked: "How is Master Ling now?"
Nangong Haotian secretly cursed for being cunning, but on the surface he said sadly: "The master passed away seven or eight years ago..."
Taihe asked in a deep voice: "Then why did you come now?"
"The master just returned to the west not long ago, so we are here now!"
Taihe let out a surprised sound and asked, "So, your master asked you to come here?"
"The master felt that we were too young to keep the treasures and secrets of our master, so he asked us to come to our uncle and ask him to continue to teach our master's unique skills!"
Taihe said hesitantly, and after a moment of silence, he asked in a deep voice: "I heard Shi Debiao say just now, are you here to deliver the sword?"
Nangong Haotian nodded and said: "Yes, because we were unable to contact our uncle in advance, so we can only give the sword as a token to your subordinate and ask him to report to his uncle. As long as you take the type of sword I have, just use it."
Describe the color and the orb on the sword tassel, my uncle will definitely receive us immediately!"
Taihe asked again with concern: "You said there are still secret books?"
Nangong Haotian said: "We have put the secret book in Zima's inn, we dare not take it with us..."
"Well, since there are a lot of things that I can't tell you, I can only ask you to stay in the palace for a day. Tomorrow at noon, the Taoist leader will come to see you when his term of confinement expires!" Taihe said with some disappointment.
As he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps moving away from the shrine.
Zhao Ling'er suddenly thought and said, "Brother, we are all hungry!"
Nangong Haotian perked up after hearing this, and said anxiously: "Taoist Master Taihe, we are all hungry, why don't you ask the Taoist priest to send someone to bring some fast food?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Taihe's voice came from the shrine, but it was farther away than before. He said in a deep voice: "Okay, I will ask them to bring a table of good wine and food!"
A smile appeared at the corner of Nangong Haotian's mouth, and he said humbly: "Thank you, Taoist Priest!"
After saying that, he sat down on a nearby futon. When Shangguan Xiaowan, Liu Qianwen and others saw it, they also said angrily: "What the hell is going on!"
As they said that, they all found a futon to sit down on.
Nangong Haotian said loudly and reassuringly: "Don't panic, when uncle's observation period expires tomorrow, we will be fine!"
Xue Bing'er said worriedly: "But... uncle, will he take us in?"
Nangong Haotian said sadly: "Although Master does not forgive him, Master treats him well. Besides, we juniors have always respected him, and he will keep us..."
"Brother, I need convenience now, what should I do?" Zhao Ling'er suddenly said shyly.
