It was early morning.

The Zhang family farm, or Zhangjiabao, retains the style of a fort. In the relatively stable Jiangnan, at least on the surface, it is as solid as a soup and difficult to be captured... This time is not too late. When the county people who are used to getting up early have already gone to work in the fields, it is still quiet and seems to have not woken up.

When the doorman heard the knocking sound outside, he hurriedly got up from the bed, stretched his waist, walked out of the door, and knocked at the place where the guards were resting next to him. Then he walked towards the door and said in the bottom: "Here, come..."

He took out the key and opened the door. A group of burly men appeared in front of him.

"Who are you looking for?" The concierge was frightened and stammered.

As far as his eyes were concerned, he was a group of tall men, dressed in a simple manner, but much better than ordinary county citizens. In addition, behind the tall men in front were two or three Taoist robes, with different ages, some big and some small.

The panic sound of the concierge came inside. Before the people at the door could speak, four guards ran out of the fort. They had not put on their clothes, but they were holding weapons in their hands, looking quite nervous: "Who are you?"

"We are citizens of Kuaiji County, and behind us is the Taoist of Heshou Temple. Come to find Zhang Lu and Zhang Jinjue!" The leading man said viciously, "He kidnapped the master of Heshou Temple, but now he can't find him everywhere! Tell me! Is he hiding in your Zhangjiabao?"

"How do we know?" The concierge was a little confused, but the guards next to him were not slow. One of them turned around and ran into the fort, probably to call for someone.

The big men outside the door knew that they were going to call for people, so they were not afraid. They protected the Taoist and stood outside the door, as if they were waiting for the guard to call people.

After a while, a handsome and elegant young man walked out, wearing a Taoist robe, but in terms of the quality of the cloth, it was obviously better than the Taoist priest behind the man. As soon as the young man came out, the doorman and the guard hurriedly said respectfully: "Young Master Zixu."

The man called Mr. Zixu walked slowly, nodded to the gatekeeper and the others, and then said to the group of people outside: "You are looking for Zhang Jinjue? He is not here now."

"Not here? Humph, then he is from the Zhang family... Since he is from the Zhang family, you should be able to make the decision. Could it be that the current children of aristocratic families have changed their careers and have specially kidnapped the Taoist temple masters?" The man looked coldly at the face, and suddenly realized it, and said, "Young Master Zixu, is it Zhang Zixu Zhang Xuanzhi?"

"It's me. As for Zhang Jinjue's affairs, it can be solved here, but you have to explain the matter clearly." Zhang Xuanzhi said lightly, his eyes scanning the man and the Taoist, and after a moment of smile, "Heshou Temple, I have never heard of this Taoist temple, but looking at you, can you be a Taoist in the Evolutionary School?"

"So what about the Taoist priests of the Evolutionary School? Can you just tie people up at will?" said a Taoist with dark skin.

"Who is the person tied up?" Zhang Xuanzhi frowned. At this time, someone was walking outside, as if he was attracted by the place. He looked at it from afar. After all, the group of people outside were aggressive, and it was obvious that it was not a good thing.

"Ding Lunian, Lunian real person! Our Heshou Temple's master."

"It's someone who has never heard of a name. Could it be that you are making up such a story to specifically discredit me, Zhang?" Zhang Xuanzhi's face turned gloomy, "Go inside and talk."

"No...what is fabrication? Your Zhang family kidnapped our observer. Now they bite back and say that we fabricated it. They also asked us to go in and say, "If you go in, you can force us and shut up-" Before the Taoists could speak, the big men started to make noise, and immediately attracted the attention of people outside, and some people even came over, "Everyone will judge us..."

"You're enough!" Zhang Xuanzhi was obviously angry, "Zhang Jinjue kidnapped your viewer, is there any evidence? When and where did it happen?"

"If we knew, would we still come to Zhangjiabao to ask for someone?"

"That's slander!"

The noise here not only reached the outside, but attracted a lot of onlookers. The inside of Zhangjiabao also understood it, but it did not appear. It was just that when Zhang Xuanzhi was obviously furious, a group of guards came out from inside and walked around Zhang Xuanzhi to the front of the Han and Taoist people.

The leading guard said: "Zhang Jinjue is not in Zhangjiabao, he has moved out long ago."

"Then where is he now?"

"have no idea."

"I don't know? He is your Zhang family's son, you don't know! Then my spectator was kidnapped by you so unknown?" The black and thin Taoist seemed to be very angry. He pulled away the man in front and walked up to argue, "Can you bully people at will if the Zhang family is powerful... If you don't send the spectator back, I...we will report to the official!"

Before the guard leader could speak, Zhang Xuanzhi behind him sneered, "Then go and report to the official, a group of stupid people!" He shook his clothes and turned around and left.

The Taoist and the great men trembled all over and looked at the guard leader, but the master said he had reported to the official at will. The guard leader did not dare to say much, but just closed the door hard.

Bang!

Only the Taoist and the great men looked desolate.

...

Zhangjiabao, a villa in another courtyard, was slightly remote. A beautiful woman walked out of it and walked towards Zhang Xuanzhi who was walking back angry.

"Brother, what are those people outside doing? Why are you so angry?" the woman asked worriedly.

Zhang Xuanzhi's face was still cold: "The group of people outside said that Zhang Jinjue kidnapped the master of Heshou Temple, the Taoist of the Evolution Sect. I have never heard of this title. I still whispered that the Zhang family would hand over the Lu Nian Zhenren. If they don't hand over it, they would go to report to the official! It's outrageous!"

"Cousin Jinjue?" The woman was stunned, "How could he be so impulsive!"

Zhang Xuanzhi raised his eyebrows and stared at the woman, looking at him, "Do you know this? Could it be true?"

"I, I just heard him mention that in his residence, there was a Taoist who kept monitoring him, as if he was... Ding Lunian, I only know these things, I have never seen him these days." The woman was a little panicked, "Why would he have tied up the man in advance, but I remember that he said he was a casual cultivator, but why has he become the master of Heshou Temple now?"

The temperature in the morning was a little cold, but I don’t know if the woman’s trembling body was cold or worried.

"Do you know where Zhang Jinjue lives now?" Zhang Xuanzhi asked.

"Know."

"Then I'll tell my uncle about this first. You'll wait in your yard." Zhang Xuanzhi thought for a while and said, "When I come back, take me to Zhang Jinjue's place."
