"Haha, of course it's best if someone treats me! My red-haired ghost Li Tang likes to make friends the most. Let's go and go!"

Since Liu Chengzong dared to stop him at the gate of Shenzhen Palace, he must have come prepared. Li Fan estimated that although Penglai was friendly on the surface, there was actually an undercurrent surging behind his back. He didn't know how many people were watching them secretly at this time. Of course,

Unable to ruin his character, he wholeheartedly agreed to Liu Chengzong's invitation and followed him to the Taoist palace of Taishang Taizhen Palace in Penglai Mountain.

Nowadays, the disciples of the inner and outer sects of Taizhen Palace are mainly practicing in Yingzhou, and they are considered to be close to the lineage of Xuanzhen Palace. There are only a few boys guarding the palace in Penglai.

Liu Chengzong specially held a banquet in the main hall to entertain Li Fan. Those serving boys were worthy of being professional waiters of Xuanmen. With Liu Chengzong's instructions, I don't know what magic tricks they used.

There was a banquet, delicious wine and delicacies, a dazzling array of things.

"I've already asked about Derun Dezai. It's just that Brother Li missed him when he was patrolling the sea a few days ago. It's a blessing to find him today. He is indeed a good man. Come on, let me toast you first."

"Haha, Master, you are too polite. A rough guy from the Sa family can't speak. If you have anything to ask, just ask."

As Li Fan said this, he toasted to each other, then he tore a chicken leg without any politeness and started eating. Well, it was really just a chicken leg, not a magical one. But was it really a chicken?

As for the Phoenix...

"Okay, Elder Li is happy," Liu Chengzong said with a smile, "I heard that the elder came with the Spirit Tribe behind him. I wonder if I can briefly recount the scene at that time?"

"That's easy to say! That day I was walking around the mountain looking for someone to challenge, and suddenly I saw a group of monsters passing by, so I followed them to the scene, wow! You don't know, real person! The scene at that time was really bloody..."

Li Fan was about to start editing, but when he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw the Taoist Master appearing behind Liu Chengzong. In his empty eye sockets, two blue eyes were staring at him. He shut up immediately and almost bit his tongue.

.

What the hell! It popped out so suddenly that my mood dropped...

When he suddenly shut up, Liu Chengzong also frowned, turned his head, followed Li Fan's line of sight and looked at the manifested Taoist Lord behind him, then turned his head and smiled at Li Fan, "What's wrong with Elder Li? What did you just say?"

What are you talking about?"

Lord Xianhua raised his index finger and made a 'hush' gesture to Li Fan.

Suddenly, Li Fan's heart felt cold, "Uh, blood, blood, snow~~ flowers are fluttering, the north wind is blowing, the sky~~ the earth~~ is a~~ vast~~~oh~oh~~"

Master Liu stared at him in surprise. Lord Xianhua, on the other hand, touched his beard and nodded.

Li Fan hurriedly picked up the wine glass and took a sip to calm down his shock, "I'm sorry, it's rare to drink such a magical brew. I like to sing a song when I'm in love. Don't mind me."

"...I see, Brother Li is really a sweetheart..."

Just at this moment, six fairies in gauze and flesh-exposing silk skirts came in from the door. It was not known whether they were preparing for a song and dance show or coming to accompany the wine.

Li Fanzheng watched eagerly as a wave of people came towards him.

Liu Chengzong noticed Li Fan's eyes and suddenly realized something, as if he understood something, he clapped his hands and said, "I don't need you to wait on me today. Come on down."

"Yes, real person." Then Huan Fei Yan Shou walked around the venue, showed off her peach, suet and jade camel toe, and left the venue again.

Li Fan turned away and stared expressionlessly at Liu Chengzong, who picked up the jug and came over to pour him wine.

The guy even winked at him and said, "There's no one around now. If Brother Li has anything to say, it doesn't matter."

You're a big-headed ghost, but that damn thing is still there!

Li Fan took a deep breath, and under the watchful eyes of Liu Chengzong and Xianhua Dao Lord, he said in a calm voice with an expressionless face, "I was competing with my friends from the Spirit Clan that day to make progress together, when I suddenly heard that someone was releasing a talisman to ask for help.

, so I followed

Watching the excitement, I meant to save people, and then as soon as I entered the door, I saw Laifu beating Chang Weiqi and all his family members were dead, cough, cough, cough! Sorry for changing the lines, I meant that as soon as I arrived at the scene, I found that everyone was dead.

It was all gone, so I rushed into the warehouse to save people..."

Liu Chengzong raised his hand to stop him, "Brother Li, didn't you say that everyone at the scene was dead? How do you know there are still people alive in the warehouse who need to be rescued?"

"Uh..." Li Fan felt extremely stressed under the gaze of Master Xianhua, "I scanned it with my consciousness..."

Liu Chengzong looked at him curiously, "Everyone at the scene is dead, but there are still people alive in the warehouse. Aren't you worried that the murderer has not left yet, so you dare to go in directly?"

Lord Xianhua also turned to look at Li Fan.

Li Fanhan said, "...What you said makes sense. I didn't even notice it. But it doesn't matter if he is the murderer. It's all done anyway. I hit him hard! His head was twisted in one go."

Got it!"

Liu Chengzong looked at Li Fan's appearance, thought about it, and smiled at him, "Concern leads to chaos. Elder Li is worried about the comfort of his fellow disciples. He is sincere and admirable. Please continue."

Li Fan spread his hands and said, "That's all. When I went in, I saw a few little girls. One of them had an eye injury and was rescued by... the sect. I wonder if Master Liu knows their whereabouts? How are their injuries?"

Liu Chengzong nodded, "I see, it is indeed consistent with what you said. Elder, don't mind, since I am responsible for finding out the matter, I have to go through the process and ask the first question. However, others asked me if I have any guesses about the murderer.

, the elder asked about the injuries of those girls? Don’t you know their identities?”

Li Fan saw that the Xianhua Dao Lord still refused to leave, so he took the risk and drank all the wine in the glass. "I'm new here. Who cares who the murderer is, I don't know him anyway. As long as he knows who dares to kill Penglai,

There is only one way to die for the demonic path of the same sect!

As for those girls, haha, I have also heard that they are the remnants of some kind of demon sect, but with all due respect, they all look like ordinary people practicing qi, so if you think they can also be from the demon sect, I don’t believe it.

Penglai ranks among the nine major Taoist sects, and is a famous sect admired by the world. You can't argue with these juniors, right?"

Li Fan knew that he must have made the right bet, because Lord Xianhua stroked his beard and nodded again, while Liu Chengzong was not angry and instead gave Li Fan another glass of wine.

"That's right. They are at most the family members of the remnants of the Demon Cult. They are involved and know nothing about the Demon Cult. We have already investigated clearly, so we sent them to this mountain.

Now that their injuries have been healed, after a period of time, they will take the thief, settle the matter here, and send it to the outer door... Brother Li, do you want to take some of them?"

Li Fan didn't care whether the other party was deliberately testing, and said without hesitation, "That's just right! The real person probably knows that I just took in a side room, but she is the princess of the Xiao family and the daughter of the Gongqing family. It's hard to call her Tai.

Thank you for your hard work. If these girls have nowhere to go, why not give them to me as maids?"

Liu Chengzong looked at Li Fan for a while and smiled, "...Okay, I'll talk to the boss for you."

Needless to say, that ghost guy next to me has already nodded. Why are you still hanging around here? Go and gain enlightenment!

Li Fan hid a lot of secrets, and felt guilty being stared at by an old ghost. He drank another drink, supported himself and said with a smile, "Since the real person has asked all the questions he wanted to ask, I won't bother you to solve the case."

Okay, take your leave now..."

But Liu Chengzong waved his hand and held him back, "I've only had two drinks now. It's still early. Elder Li, don't be in a hurry to find your sweet wife. Sit here. I'm inviting you today, and it's not just for these little things."

of."

Li Fan, "?"

Liu Chengzong turned his hand and took out a small copper bell that was about the size of a wine cup and could be held in his hand. He placed it on the table and struck the jade chopstick.

Li Fan clearly saw the bronze bell flying up, getting bigger in the air, and falling again, covering him, Liu Chengzong, and Xianhua Daojun in the bell!

The bronze bell gradually became transparent and turned into a looming, glass-like protective shield. Liu Chengzong smiled and said, "It's easier to talk now."

Lord Xianhua also touched his beard and nodded.

Li Fan, "..."

"Elder Li has extraordinary skills. I heard that you patrolled the sea and eliminated demons when you first started, and made great contributions to Penglai. You are truly a rare talent. I wonder how Senior Brother Zhou recruited a master like you?"

Li Fan understood a little bit, "Oh, are you trying to win over me?"

Liu Chengzong also opened the skylight and spoke frankly, "Yes, maybe the elders already know that although Shenzhen Palace ranked among the top three in Jiuzhen Sect back then, a group of old men in the palace had limited talents and spent all the elixirs accumulated over the generations. As a result, a breakthrough was expected

There are none, this is like being stuck in the realm of transformation and waiting to die.

As for their juniors in the Nascent Soul Stage, without the support of the Dao Palace, they are destined not to go far. The next few generations will probably have to work hard to accumulate resources for their own lineage, hoping to cultivate outstanding Dao disciples for the younger generations. Elder Li, you are in such a mountain gate.

, the offerings that can be taken are also very limited. I heard that you and Senior Brother Zhou went to refine the elixir today? Haha, I’m afraid you came up with the elixir yourself, right? How many more pills did he refine?"

And it wasn't just Liu Chengzong who said this, Lord Xianhua Dao was also nodding beside him.

Damn it, where did you come from?

Li Fan had a complicated look on his face, "I haven't finished practicing yet, who knows... How can I join the Taizhen Palace and give me more pills or something..."

Liu Chengzong laughed "hehehehe" for a while, "My Taizhen lineage is shallow, and I am not enough. Elder Li is a master who can fight with Cheng Chengzhi twice. I can't afford to support a protector like you.

I work as a lobbyist for others."

As he spoke, he took out a large gourd with a green jade dragon pattern from his pocket, "Here are two hundred Nine-turn Donghua Eternal Spring Pills, which were just made by Junior Brother Xu. They are considered as a meeting gift."

Li Fan opened his jaw and was confused for a while, "No, how about using two hundred nine-turn elixirs to hit people, is this the authentic tradition of Xuanmen?"

"Hahaha! Brother Li is really interesting," Liu Chengzong put the gourd in front of Li Fan and rolled his sleeves, "Junior brother Xu is a rare Taoist, a master who masters all five arts. I just wait for him to become a god and realize Taoism.

What magical elixir does not exist? A mere two hundred Donghua Eternal Spring Pills are nothing to him. There is no other choice for the genius who comes to shine on my Penglai family. Brother Li, you can be his protector. The benefits will not end there.

of."

Lord Xianhua stroked his beard and nodded again!

Li Fan was really a little strange, "This... Mr. Liu, Brother Liu, I am a man from the mountains. I don't understand the inside story of Penglai. Please don't take offense if you are presumptuous. But why are you forming cliques like this?"

Master Xu, as one of the Three Penglai Masters and a Yingzhou Daoist, still lacks a warrior like me as a protector?"

Liu Chengzong was really relaxed and put away his smile and said, "Although Brother Li is a casual cultivator, he must be a sensible person who can cultivate to the realm of Yuanying. Yes, we don't care about one or two outer sect protectors."

In the eyes. But if you know that in the next few years, the sect will be divided, and the two factions will fight for the position of the new leader, and those who cannot win over today will become enemies tomorrow, then there is nothing to be reluctant to part with, just a few hundred elixirs.

Woolen cloth?"

After finishing the ball, Master Xianhua nodded again...

Li Fan frowned and forced a smile and said, "Brother Liu, it's wrong to say that. I heard that everyone in Penglai is tired of logging, and it's too harmful to fight and kill. And the position of the leader is not the leader.
To be continued...
