Chapter 60 Return to the old place

Wuge Shanli is not familiar to Qi Xuansu, but it is not completely unfamiliar.

He came with Zhang Yuelu once.

Wuge Mountain Li was controlled by a family of Ai. The ancestors of the Ai family were the Semuhu people in the West. They had a long surname. They took root in the Western Regions for many years. After intermarriage with locals in the Western Regions, they were assimilated and took the surname from the Central Plains. The word "Ai" was taken from the first pronunciation of their original surname.

The city lord is an extremely young woman, whose name is Aili in the Central Plains. She has brown hair, a high nose and deep eyes, a tall figure, and a large skeleton. When Zhang Yuelu stood with her, she looked a little weak.

Qi Xuansu's impression of Aili is not only that, but also her accent, like a daughter born in the imperial capital, rather than the owner of a remote Western city.

Wuge Mountain is quite lively and prosperous. Although it is not as good as Loulan, the largest city in Xizhou, and cannot be compared with Yujing, it is not much different from many ordinary prefectures in the Central Plains.

The city lord's mansion is located in the inner city. It used to be the royal palace of Wugo Mountain Liguo, so it covers a large area and is decorated quite luxuriously. However, it has now become the owner of the Ai family, which is not only the yamen office for the city lord to handle various matters, but also the residence of the entire family.

This is Qi Xuansu's full impression of Wuge Shanli. The information about Wuge Shanli in the Western Regions Daofu and Tiangang Hall is quite lacking - this is not surprising. When Zhang Yuelu went to Wuge Shanli, there was not much information, and the guides were looking for it temporarily. To put it bluntly, the Taoist sect did not pay attention to the Western Regions. At least in the past century, the decline of the Western Regions was inevitable. The center of gravity of the Taoist sect naturally tended to the southeast and overseas. Wherever the interests were, the center of gravity was.

As for Beichen Hall, its ability is unquestionable, but the Western Regions have always been the territory of Quanzhen Dao, so Beichen Hall has not played much role.

At that time, Zhang Yuelu gave Ellie a fellow Taoist background in exchange for Ellie's help, and finally solved the tragedy of the Western demon killing Taoist priest Bishanguan.

But now looking back, there are doubts everywhere. How could Ellie, as the master of Wugo Shanli, be completely unaware of it? After all, Diswin's resurrection has a great relationship with the True Lord of Siming. As the local city lord, he didn't even know the existence of the giant Zhiming Sect? This is unreasonable.

Then Ellie was suspected of performing without knowing it. The biggest possibility is that either Allie is a puppet of Zhiming Sect and has been completely controlled by Zhiming Sect, or Allie is simply a member of Zhiming Sect.

Even the entire Ai family may be a member of the Zhiming Sect.

The inn owner is named Xu Shide. It is said that his ancestors once served Xu Zu. The owners of the West Sect were on the surface Song Zheng and Dan Tai Yun, but in fact Xu Zu hid behind the scenes. Song Zheng and Dan Tai Yun were also supported by Xu Zu, but later Dan Tai Yun and Xu Zu broke up.

As early as the era of Xu Zu, he had already started to manage the Western Regions, and Xu Zu buried a large number of chess pieces here and gave them the surname Xu. However, in the shocking changes in Kunlun, Xu Zu ascended unexpectedly, and these buried chess pieces were useless. Because Xu Zu was too hasty, many things were not explained, neither Xuan Sheng nor Xu Zu's disciples took over these people.

So these people took root in the Western Regions, got married and had children, and reproduced.

Logically speaking, people like Xu Shide should be people in the Taoist sect, but their files are unclear and history is unclear. After Xuansheng rebuilt the Taoist sect, he naturally would not ask them. So it would be a matter of time before they were entangled with the secret society.

According to Xu Shide, the main hall of Zhiming Sect is located in the former royal palace, which is now the mansion of the city lord.

In this way, Qi Xuansu had to visit this "old acquaintance" again.

For ordinary people, the City Lord's Mansion may be considered to be strictly guarded. Considering the factors of Zhiming Sect, it can even be said to be a dragon's and tiger's den. However, for Qi Xuansu and his group, it is nothing. They came directly to the City Lord's Mansion without alarming anyone.

This is also considered a killing knife.

The architectural style of the city lord's mansion still maintains the Western style of the Ai family's ancestors. However, because the Ai family has become more fundamental, the decoration layout is actually very central. Qi Xuansu sat in the main seat of the main hall, and then Xu Shide came forward to attract Ai Li.

The reason why he did not directly capture him was mainly because he was afraid that he would alarm the True Lord Siming. Maybe the True Lord Siming was watching this place or had other means of prohibition. At this point, Qi Xuansu had learned a lesson. When he led his army to attack Lanyun Island, he triggered the ban, which eventually attracted the God of He Luo who was hiding in the Yin Moon.

Although the final result is a blessing in disguise and Qi Xuansu formed a fate with He Luoshen, it is impossible that it will be a blessing in disguise every time. Qi Xuansu does not want to repeat the same mistake.

After a while, Xu Shide led Ellie over.

As soon as Ellie entered the lobby, she said, "You are so brave, you dare to come back."

Xu Shide said: "Why don't I dare to come back? Is there a dragon's nest here?"

Ellie said: "Although I am not a place where you can go whenever you want. Since you are here, don't leave."

Xu Shide said angrily: "Don't worry, let's see who this person is?"

Lin Yuanmiao's spell cast previously covered the traces of Qi Xuansu and his group. At this time, he unlocked the spell and instantly appeared in front of Ellie's eyes.

Ellie was shocked and subconsciously wanted to escape from this place, but found that this place had been isolated and could not escape at all, and could not convey any information to the outside.

"No need to waste your energy. Unless it is Siming Zhenjun took action personally, it will not be able to be solved." Lin Yuanmiao's words were full of confidence, and Aili couldn't believe them.

Qi Xuansu said: "Lord Ai, do you still remember me?"

At this time, Qi Xuansu covered up his original appearance. Aili couldn't recognize him and hesitated: "Forgive me, I don't know who you are?"

Qi Xuansu said: "I have been watching for forty years. Someone has visited City Lord Ai. Don't you remember it?"

Ellie was slightly stunned: "Looking at it for forty years... Are you from Taoism?"

"No," Qi Xuansu said, "Zhenzhenren Zhang also gave Lord Ai a fellow Taoist."

Speaking of this, Ellie still doesn't understand: "You, are you Zhenren Qi?"

Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "You guessed it right. I am Qi Xuansu. At that time, I was following Zhenren Zhang and served as the deacon Taoist priest of the Yaoguang Department of Tiangang Hall. Most of the Lord Ai City can't remember it."

Ellie was shocked at first, then smiled bitterly. Who would have thought that the inconspicuous seventh-grade Taoist priest back then would become a young master who was intimidating the Western Regions in the future?

Even if we don’t talk about the special identity of the young master, we only talk about formal positions, from a seventh-grade Taoist priest to a real person in the prefecture, how many steps are there?

Qi Xuansu said: "Since City Lord Ai is so good at guessing, then I should be able to guess my purpose."

Aili said slowly: "I heard that Zhenren Qi ordered the exterminated secret association forces in the Western Regions, then Zhenren Qi came here for Zhenjun Siming."

Qi Xuansu said: "City Lord Ai wouldn't want to tell me that you have nothing to do with Zhenjun Siming, right? When I was pursuing the incident of Diswin, City Lord Ai had already lied to me once. Could it be that he wanted to lied to me for the second time?"

Ellie glanced at Xu Shide and then gave up this futile behavior. However, she did not surrender directly, but chose to remain silent.

Qi Xuansu didn't say anything.
