Chapter 158

"Ask Immortal Tower"

Ning Zhongtian was stunned.

"Why is this name so familiar, seems to have heard it somewhere... right, Li Rui!"

Just as he was pondering.

The old Daoist priest stood up and chuckled: "This must be Alliance Leader Ning of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, long admired, long admired."

Ning Zhongtian only felt flattered.

The aura on the old Daoist priest was no weaker than Jiang Linxian, absolutely a great expert; he, a small alliance leader, really couldn't talk about long admiration; it was all the other party being polite and giving face.

This point of self-knowledge still had to be had.

He hurriedly bowed and cupped his hands: "Daoist is polite."

After meeting.

Jiang Linxian didn't rush to speak first, but pressed his palm: "Sit first."

Seeing this, Ning Zhongtian had no choice but to find a seat near Jiang Linxian, but not between the two.

The three sat down.

Jiang Linxian then continued: "Daoist has been seeking immortal traces for many years, any harvest?"

This old Daoist was named Zhang Gu, an elder of the Ask Immortal Tower.

Although the Ask Immortal Tower is a Hidden Sect, it is by no means completely cut off from the outside world; it's just that the people they contact are at too high a level, and ordinary people can't reach that level.

Jiang Linxian also formed a bond with this old Daoist by chance, and only then knew that there was an Ask Immortal Tower in the world.

The two even became friends across generations.

Of course, friends across generations; this old Daoist once said when drunk that he was already over one hundred and thirty years old.

At least three generations apart.

Old Daoist Zhang sighed: "The immortal path is hard to seek, seeking every day, just treat it as red dust heart refining."

Jiang Linxian was curious: "Daoist, the last time you and I met was four years ago; today you come to the door, it's really surprising."

Old Daoist Zhang chuckled:

"A few days ago, I felt that the forest was coming, so I scattered some rice."

"Guess what?"

"Sixty-eight signs, purple dust, burying heroes, cultivating truth and refining Qi, planning to cross the immortal dome, profit lies in the southeast."

"I walked all the way and arrived at the Anning Prefecture area, only then did I remember that Old Brother Jiang was serving in Anning Prefecture, so I came looking for you."

Brilliant colors flashed in Jiang Linxian's eyes.

The so-called scattering rice and sixty-eight signs of the old Daoist are actually the Daoist rice divination method.

It is said to have been created by the Daoist Patriarch Lu.

That is, when passing by the Earth City God Temple, you can grab three handfuls of rice, the first handful makes a hundred, then divide by ten and take the remainder, for example, grabbing one hundred and sixty-four grains, dividing by ten and taking the remainder is four, which is four hundred, the second handful makes ten, the third handful makes the ones digit, after becoming a number greater than three hundred and eighty-four, subtract three hundred and eighty-four, and it becomes the sign number.

Anyone can scatter rice.

The key is how to interpret the sign.

Only Daoists with profound cultivation can glimpse the secrets of heaven from the three handfuls of rice.

Jiang Linxian laughed: "Daoist Zhang, I think you are thirsty for wine, deliberately coming to find me to ask for wine; according to your statement, wouldn't I be your immortal fate."

Old Daoist Zhang just laughed a few times upon hearing this.

The divination obtained is just a general direction; specific opportunities still depend on personal creation.

Otherwise, he had divined so many times, he should have found immortal fate long ago.

But the reality is, since the founding of the Ask Immortal Tower, it has changed seventy-three generations, and it hasn't seen anyone really attain the Dao and ascend to immortality.

Just treat it as an obsession.

Seeing that he had encountered an immortal studies expert today, Jiang Linxian intended to ask for advice: "There is one thing, I hope Daoist can solve my confusion."

Old Daoist Zhang: "Old Brother Jiang, just say it."

"I don't know if Daoist has heard of the Ghost Gui Ming Jiao immortal treasure matter."

"Heard a little."

In fact, this is Old Daoist Zhang's modest way of saying it.

Not just immortal treasure, he even knows about the immortal law.

No other reason.

After Jiang Linxian offered the immortal treasure to that Lord of the Dragon Court, the imperial court summoned all the great alchemists in the world to study and crack the secret of the immortal treasure.

He wasn't there, but his senior brother, the Tower Master of the Ask Immortal Tower of the current generation, went.

After returning.

He said four words: "Not Dao but technique."

"Not Dao but technique..."

Jiang Linxian listened to Old Daoist Zhang talk about the Ask Immortal Tower Tower Master's judgment on the immortal treasure and followed it murmuring.

Old Daoist Zhang continued:

"There are countless seekers of immortality in the world, the Ghost Gui Ming Jiao is just one of them; this immortal law is probably walking some kind of strange path, it should be unrelated to the immortal Dao, but all judgments are too early, and it needs further research and pondering to know the result."

Is the Emperor happy to get the immortal treasure?

Of course happy.

But really thought he got the opportunity to become an immortal?

That's not it either.

To say the sect that seeks immortality the most in the world, it must be the imperial court; in fact, every few years, the imperial court will find some things that claim to be immortal treasures, and then throw them all to the Imperial Observatory for research one by one.

Those the Imperial Observatory doesn't understand, they search the world for great alchemists to study together.

From every move of the imperial court, it is not difficult to see that the Lord of the Dragon Court doesn't really believe that the Ghost Gui Ming Jiao really got some kind of immortal law.

It's just based on the theory of rather killing a thousand by mistake than letting one go.

On one hand, the Ghost Gui Ming Jiao has the momentum to rise, so send troops to suppress it; on the other hand, it is to dig out more news about the immortal law.

Kill two birds with one stone.

What if the Ghost Gui Ming Jiao really mastered the immortal law?

Jiang Linxian recalled the expression of the big eunuch when he offered the immortal treasure, and smiled: "Daoist's words are reasonable, it is I who was attached."

"No, Old Brother Jiang is the clearest and most transparent person I have ever seen; if I don't say it, you will definitely be able to penetrate it after some time."

Old Daoist Zhang shook his head.

He sought immortality all his life, for more than a hundred years, and had only a few friends.

Jiang Linxian was cited as a confidant at the age of forty.

Why?

Wasn't it because he took a fancy to the strand of immortal Qi on Jiang Linxian; this immortal Qi is not that immortal Qi, referring to the clear and bright heart, the spiritual energy close to the Great Dao.

The two discussed the Dao for a long time.

Ning Zhongtian was almost sleepy from listening.

If it weren't for facing his superior, he would have to force himself to be energetic.

For a long time, the topic finally fell on him.

Old Daoist Zhang looked at the sleepy Ning Zhongtian and chuckled: "Alliance Leader Ning, do you have a Galloping Tiger Cavalry under your command?"

Ning Zhongtian immediately echoed: "Daoist, yes."

The old Daoist said one sentence, and he had already guessed the following plot.

"I brought three disciples on this trip, if it weren't for the Galloping Tiger Cavalry under Alliance Leader Ning's command taking righteous action to save us, I'm afraid I would be a lonely person now."

"I thank you here."

After saying this, Old Daoist Zhang really bowed and cupped his hands.

=9+Book_Bar

"Sure enough, as expected, came to thank!"

Ning Zhongtian hurriedly bowed back, his mouth slightly raised when he lowered his head.

Li Rui had long informed him of this matter.

So when he heard that this old Daoist came from the Ask Immortal Tower, he had already prepared.

Being able to be bowed to by a venerable Hidden Sect expert, he would have capital to brag about in the future, and could even persuade a few more cups when persuading wine.

Very useful!

Jiang Linxian's mouth also raised unconsciously.

People from the Anning Guard saved the disciples of the Ask Immortal Tower, and he, the superior, could also have a few more bonds with the Ask Immortal Tower.

Don't look at the Ask Immortal Tower as a Hidden Sect, seemingly without power or influence.

But in fact, it is the opposite of what the world sees; the Tower Master of the Ask Immortal Tower is a master of immortal studies, very sought after by nobles in the capital, and even the Emperor has personally asked him about the Dao.

The value of this sentiment is not low.

Old Daoist Zhang straightened his waist: "Alliance Leader Ning, this poor Daoist has another uninvited request for coming to the Anning Guard this time."

Ning Zhongtian glanced at Jiang Linxian.

Instantly knew in his heart.

Slapped his chest and said: "Daoist, just say it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best to do it for you."

Having obtained Jiang Linxian's nod, he naturally had no worries, just needed to express his attitude.

Old Daoist Zhang: "I don't know if there is an official surnamed Li in Alliance Leader Ning's Galloping Tiger Battalion?"

Ning Zhongtian was stunned:

"Daoist is talking about the Galloping Tiger Battalion patrol, Li Rui?"

Old Daoist Zhang nodded: "It should be, I came here seeking immortality, planning to stay in Anning Prefecture for a few days, but my two disciples were frightened, so I thought about borrowing a stay in the Anning Guard for a few days."

"I hope Alliance Leader Ning can arrange for my two disciples to live in the Li residence, to repay the life-saving grace."

Ning Zhongtian's expression became strange; what kind of request is this?

Let alone him, even Jiang Linxian didn't expect that Old Daoist Zhang's request was actually this.

And Jiang Linxian faintly felt that this Old Daoist was clearly wrapping this plate of dumplings for this dish of vinegar.

Not bad, he himself was the dumpling that was gifted.

Ning Zhongtian was confused for a while, and turned to look at Jiang Linxian again.

The next instant.

Jiang Linxian coughed lightly: "Alliance Leader Ning, it's just a matter of an extra pair of chopsticks; I remember there are many empty rooms in Li Rui's residence, feel free to live there, just don't dislike it."

Then he added: "Of course, this matter must also follow Li Rui's wishes."

Old Daoist Zhang smiled and nodded:

"It should be so."

Li Zhai.

Stable.

All along, the stable of the Li residence was just a decoration.

Although Li Rui was promoted to patrol and was assigned a horse, the horse was public property and was uniformly managed by the Horse Supervision Hall of the Anning Guard.

Wang Zhao was used to cleaning the stable clean, but it had always been in a state without horses.

This time, the stable finally had an owner.

"Master, this Red Dragon Horse is really not ordinary, the sweat flowing down is blood red."

Wang Zhao's saliva almost didn't fall to the ground.

Li Rui glanced at his apprentice.

Wang Zhao was more energetic when seeing a good horse than when seeing a beautiful girl.

Thinking that his apprentice still hadn't found a marriage, Li Rui secretly shook his head and made a judgment:

"Destined to be alone."

But looking at Wang Zhao's shining eyes, Li Rui's heart stirred:

"Maybe I can cultivate Little Zhao to be an Imperial Horse Officer?"

Practicing martial arts or not is not a must, respect interests and hobbies, right.

Li Rui has always been an open-minded temperament.

Just when the master and apprentice were pondering in front of the stable—

A dull knocking sound came from the gate.

"Master, someone is here."

Wang Zhao said while his eyes didn't leave the Red Dragon Horse.

"Foolish child."

Li Rui rolled his eyes, didn't count on Wang Zhao to open the door, and walked toward the gate himself.

"Who is it?"

While shouting, he pushed the door open.

Just as a gap appeared between the two gates, Li Rui happened to see the person standing behind the door.

Then he was stunned.

Besides Ning Zhongtian, there were three people standing behind him.

A man and a woman, and Li Rui actually knew both of them.

"Yao Xue?!"
