The Southern Tang Dynasty focused on cultivating immortals, and the sects cultivating immortals and refining qi were very important, not to mention the famous sects like Shangqing Sect. Although the Lin'an branch is not the main hospital, it still has great status. Apart from anything else, the location of the Lin'an Branch Pavilion can be seen from the fact that it is located next to Taiyue College and adjacent to the East Palace. However, the Shangqing Sect is the Sect of the Immortal Alliance after all, and the attitude must still be maintained. Although most of the students in the college have close contacts with students from Taixue Academy and the children of high-ranking officials and nobles in the imperial city, most of the time, the branch itself is closed to guests.

But early this morning, a large motorcade arrived in front of the branch door.

At this time, it was morning class time in the branch pavilion.

The head coach Lin Shu and the head coach hurried over. The front hall was already full of people. In the center was a very beautiful woman in plain white wringing her hands and looking anxious. It was Zhong Shuhua, the wife of Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"Thank you, Madam Zhang. Zhong

Shuhua bowed in return without losing etiquette, and said hurriedly:"Master Immortal, don't blame me for disturbing you so early in the morning." In fact, it is very important to announce the funeral at home, and it is a last resort."Zhong Shuhua, who was born slender and graceful, is now plagued by sadness and anxiety, and is even more pitiful like a weak willow in the wind. The

Shangshu Mansion received an urgent letter from Lao Xianmen early in the morning.

Zhang Xu knew that the old lady was interested in The Zhong family was unusual, and he immediately ordered people to prepare a team for his wife and young lady to return home. He held an important position and could not leave immediately, but he promised his wife that he would take leave from the court, and rushed to meet them two days later, and sent People rushed to the Lin'an Branch Pavilion to inform Zhong Wanling and Zhong Jianan to pack their luggage and ask for leave.

This happened an hour ago.

Lin Shu and related people already knew the reason. Lin Shu nodded repeatedly and helped Zhong Shuhua."Mrs. Zhang, don't worry, both of you. A nephew will arrive soon."

Zhong Shuhua thanked Lin Shu, but her expression was still sad."Thank you, Master Immortal, for your permission."

"Of course. Lin Shu comforted her,"Mrs. Zhang, please don't be too sad.""

Zhong Shuhua covered her face with her sleeves and choked for a while.

After a while, people came.

However, only one person came. Only Zhong Jianan came.

Lin Shu was a little confused and looked at the coach. The coach was also puzzled and looked at the leader. Master, who was coming, opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. He turned to look at the students who followed him.

Zhong Jianan thought he was asking him, but he was confused. He and Zhong Wanling had never been on good terms, and they would not interact with each other unless necessary. The standard is that they hate each other. But he can't stupidly say this in front of this aunt who has a high position and attaches great importance to the family.

When Zhong Jianan was hesitating, Mu Xiaochuan behind him stepped forward and bowed:"Zhang Zhang Mr. Zhong, Junior Sister Zhong Wanling suddenly left a letter and ran away early yesterday morning, and is no longer in the branch. Lin

Shu was shocked and angry, and yelled:"Coach Wang, Teacher Chen, what is going on!" How do you manage students? ? He actually let the students go out to hang out in the middle of the night, and no one stopped him? Still missing! ? This is a big gaffe! absurd! This is so ridiculous!"

Both the coach and the teacher had a sad face. This rhetoric is to distance themselves from the relationship and throw all the responsibilities onto their middle-level people.

In fact, Zhong Wanling hardly comes to class. This is something everyone in Lin'an Branch knows. You To find this person in the school, it would be faster to go directly to her dormitory or library. Not to mention the head teacher, many people in this sect know about it. If it were this kind of behavior, other students would have been sent away long ago. She went home, but what happened to Zhong Wanling was helpless. Because even if there were many problems, it was impossible for the branch to expel such an outstanding student, even if it was known that no one in the entire branch could teach her.

Of course Lin Shu I know, but it’s hard for him to say it in front of so many outsiders, especially the wife of a minister among them. Even if he can afford to lose face, the branch cabinet and the Shangqing Sect behind him can’t afford to lose face.

Coach Wang and Master Chen Naturally, he knew the reason. Even if he suffered the loss of being mute, he could only endure it.

However, Mu Xiaochuan took another step forward and said:"Master Qi, this disciple feels that Junior Sister Zhong Wanling does not go out to have fun. It was the disciple's duty yesterday. At that time, I saw Junior Sister Zhong Wanling walking in a hurry and looking very serious. She didn't even notice when I called her. I guess there must be something urgent."

Lin Shuxin said: You brat, you don't want to open any pot. Just when he was about to stop him, the brat was already talking to himself.

"Moreover, Junior Sister Zhong Wanling and my senior brothers and sisters are still investigating the matter. The matter had just come to light, and given the junior sister's temperament, she would definitely not let go of the investigation and disappear unless she had something very important to do."

Lin Shu was really speechless, and said to himself: You high-level brats, in addition to studying spells and taking on tasks every day, can you also learn a little bit about the world? Do you know that you will never get ahead? Although in my heart Thinking this way, there is still work to be done. Lin Shu took a breath and nodded quickly:"What you said makes sense. The top priority now is to find Master Nephew Zhong. She turned to Zhong Shuhua and said,"Mrs. Zhang, why don't you go first." I will send someone to inquire about the city patrol officer and the city gate guard. As soon as I find someone, I will notify her to rush to meet you."

This is a delaying tactic. Several big figures in the branch are well aware of it. As soon as the convoy of Shangshu Mansion leaves, the matter will be forgotten. They will not waste their efforts.

Besides, the fusion realm cultivators should be replaced by ordinary martial arts people. , almost a level of heroes who rarely meet opponents. They don’t want to be discovered, so they can go high and low. How can they be discovered by the mere city patrol department? It is not difficult to cross the city gate. This rhetoric is even as rigid as Mu Xiaochuan felt that it was a bit nonsense.

Zhong Shuhua's focus was not here. She thought for a moment and asked the senior disciple who looked worried:"This little immortal master, are you saying that Wan Lan left a letter and left at midnight yesterday?" of?"

Mu Xiaochuan nodded.

Zhong Shuhua breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Lin Shu and the other coaches in relief, and advised:"Immortal masters, please don't bother me. I think I probably know Wan Lan's whereabouts. Lin

Shu and his coach looked at each other in confusion, thinking that this was a good thing, but it came easily. But they didn’t know how to pick it up. If they didn’t pick it up well, they would be in trouble. Is it really possible to fake it?

However, Zhong Shuhua just explained tactfully:"I'm sorry to the immortal masters. Wanlan has the ability to divine dreams and fortune-telling, and is also very famous in Lao Xianmen. She must have felt something in her heart, so she hurriedly left the letter and rushed off, but it was a pity that the journey was far away and she couldn't reach it. Hey... the old lady is unusual in our immortal sect. I also asked several immortal masters to forgive my nephew Wanlan for his hasty behavior."Having said that, he bowed and led Zhong Jianan to leave without waiting for the responses from the other masters.

Although it only lasted more than an hour, the convoy of Shangshu Mansion was very well prepared. Zhong Jianan got into the car in front. In the car, Zhong Shuhua and two personal maids got into the large car belonging to the female family members in the middle.

There was already a little girl about ten years old waiting in the car, holding a baby over one year old in her arms. This girl It is Zhang Jielei, the eldest daughter of Zhong Shuhua and Zhang Shangshu, whose nickname is Yingyin. The little baby is Zhang Jielei, the Lin'er they just got last year. (Later, in order to distinguish, they all call their sister Zhang Jielei by the same name.)

"Mother, won’t Sister Wanlan come with you?" Yingyin looked behind her mother.

Zhong Shuhua took her youngest son from Yingyin's hand and asked her maid to greet the convoy to set off quickly. When the car started to move, she shook her head to her daughter and said,"Sister Wanlan, you are a natural. The supernatural power has already taken the first step, and I am afraid that it is already at Lao Xianmen."

Yingyin nodded confusedly, and suddenly noticed something strange. As soon as they received the news, his father immediately made a decision and asked the housekeeper to prepare the convoy, and asked his mother to take them and their father's clothes to prepare to set off quickly. It can be said that it was already very fast, but It would still be late at night to get to Lao Xianmen. Now my mother said that sister Wanlan might have arrived? She knew that her eldest sister was very powerful, but this was too much. I'm afraid it can't fly! Where can

I find Zhong Shuhua? Xian Xin was concerned about what her daughter was thinking, and said worriedly:"Hey, Wan Lan, this kid, went to such a big event alone. The branch pavilion is only a few steps away from Zhang Mansion, why don't you come to me to discuss it? Can I still not believe her? This road is dark and windy at night, how dangerous it is!"

Yingyin doesn't understand her mother's worries. In her opinion, this eldest sister is almost a fairy, and her mother's worries are superfluous."Mom, don't worry, sister Wanlan is so powerful, no one in this world can hurt her."

Zhong Shuhua sighed after hearing this. She could only rub Yingyin's head and stop complaining. She was confused because she was concerned, but her daughter was really a little too naive. In this world, beasts and villains are not the only ones who can hurt people.

To Lao Xianmen and the people around Lao Xianmen, Mrs. Li was the same existence as the sacred tree on the top of the mountain, a pillar of the sky. One day ago, when the death knells were ringing from watchtowers everywhere in the early morning, Almost everyone in the mountain stopped and rushed to the Zhong family, but the bridge leading to the sect had been blocked by the disciples of the Laoxian sect.They strictly guarded it.

Then, they saw countless homing pigeons being released, spreading their wings, and flying rapidly in all directions, like rapidly expanding dark clouds that would never disperse from then on.

Zhong Wanling arrived at Laoxianmen earlier than Zhong Shuhua expected.

A whole day early.

The yesterday Mu Xiaochuan mentioned was strictly determined by the time of day, which meant that the early morning of yesterday he mentioned was actually the day before yesterday, a whole day earlier than Zhong Shuhua.

Zhong Wanling found Lin'an City under curfew overnight, chose a horse from the post station outside the city, threw a piece of silver into the arms of the dozing post official, and rode the horse without stopping all night, finally before noon Arriving at Laoxianmen.

At this time, there was great chaos in Lao Xianmen.

Zhong Wanling got off his horse and led the horse step by step through the mountain city. Both the guards and the people had sad faces, and they were talking quietly in groups. No one cared about the people who had just entered the city, and no one was in the mood to do anything.

"what happened? The old lady is so strong. Didn’t she personally participate in the parade to pray to the Flower God a few days ago during the Flower Festival? I think she will have no problem living to her ninetieth birthday."

"What's the ninetieth birthday? The old lady should have been a hundred years old, which is more than enough."

"Hey, it’s my birthday in a month."

"Yes, what should I do with this half-prepared birthday party?……"
