Meng Zhang has no time to think about things now, let alone red tape.
As a close disciple of Taiyi Sect’s old head, Taoist Master Xuanling, and a rising star that Taiyi Sect focuses on training, in the minds of Taiyi Sect disciples like Li Baofu, regardless of Meng Zhang’s identity as the Taiyi Sect leader, they are Don’t dare to be negligent in the slightest.
Li Baofu was also very straightforward and got to the point directly.
It turns out that the person who awakened his spiritual roots this time was a ten-year-old boy named Tian Li. Speaking of which, he can be regarded as Tian Zhen’s distant nephew.
Tian Li’s father died long ago, leaving only his mother in the family. His mother is the sister of Fang Meng, a grown disciple of Xuanling Dao, the old head of Taiyi Sect.
This kind of thing is not surprising. The disciples of Taiyi Sect are basically from Tianshui Oasis. Not only do they have family members in Tianshui Oasis, but they are also related to each other.
Fang Meng left Taiyimen and joined the Zhao family.
This time, he went back to his hometown to visit relatives, and he was accompanied by Zhao Dong, a descendant of the Zhao family who was close to him.
Probably, this guy also has some intention of returning to his hometown in glory, and wants to show among relatives and friends what kind of good life he has lived after joining the Zhao family.
Tianshui Oasis and Taiyi Sect are closely related, and many people here cannot understand Fang Meng’s move to leave Taiyi Sect. But his own relatives and friends did not turn him away.
Coincidentally, when Fang Meng was visiting his sister’s house, his sister’s son Tian Li, who was also his nephew, happened to awaken his spiritual roots.
For ordinary people, after awakening their spiritual roots, some strange phenomena will often appear around them.
It automatically absorbs the surrounding aura and creates whirlwinds around the body. This type is the most common phenomenon.
According to the different physical attributes of each person, there are many obvious anomalies.
For example, the body suddenly floats, or breathes flames from the mouth, or the body directly burns, but you do not suffer any harm.
In this world where cultivation is prevalent, the visions related to the awakening of spiritual roots are not necessarily known to everyone, but at least they are widely spread.
When they see these phenomena, no one will think of evil spirits or evil, but they all know what is going on.
Moreover, there are many Taiyi Sect disciples who are taking care of themselves in the Sweet Water Oasis.
Soon, these Taiyi Sect old disciples rushed to Tian Li’s house to help Tian Li control his spiritual roots and put an end to the vision.
And this guy Fang Meng actually wanted to take his nephew away as his uncle at this time.
Fang Meng’s sister is a woman with no independent opinions, and was moved by Fang Meng’s sweet words.
But the residents of Sweet Water Oasis present, especially those old disciples of Taiyi Sect, would not let Fang Meng take people away like this.
The two sides refused to give in to each other, but because they had concerns about each other, neither side took the initiative to take action. Instead, they argued with each other and remained at a stalemate.
As a garrison disciple appointed by Taiyi Sect, Li Baofu is quite clever.
Taking this opportunity, he quickly took out the communication talisman and sent the news to Tian Zhen, who was currently in charge of the general affairs of the Taiyi Sect.
After hearing what Li Baofu said, Meng Zhang and Tian Zhen became angry.
Tian Zhen even took the initiative to ask for a fight.
“Report to the leader, Fang Meng betrayed the sect and deserves death. Disciple please order to capture him and let the leader do whatever he wants.”
“Fang Meng has nothing to worry about. There are children from the Zhao family getting involved, so we must be careful.”
“You guys go with me to see what Fang Meng, who has taken refuge with his new master, is going to do?”
Meng Zhang did not let Tian Zhen do what he did, but led them towards Fang Meng’s sister’s house.
I lived in the Sweetwater Oasis for a period of time when I was a child. Later, after I joined the Taiyi Sect, I visited this place many times. Meng Zhang had some knowledge of the relatives of his disciples.
Meng Zhang, who was familiar with the road, did not need Li Baofu to lead the way. He took the lead and reached his destination in just a moment.
Before they even got close, a series of chaotic quarrels came over. Especially a man with such a powerful voice that no sound can suppress him.
“Fang Meng, you are a **** who eats inside and outside. You think that if you climb a high branch, you can come here to dominate and do whatever you want.”
“If you want to take Tian Li away, first step on the old man’s body.”
Hearing this voice, Meng Zhang smiled.
“Mr. Tian is so old, but he is still in good spirits.”
While talking, Meng Zhang and others arrived outside a small courtyard.
The area outside the small courtyard has long been surrounded by neighbors.
At the entrance of the small courtyard, an old man with white beard and hair, and his face covered with age spots, was leading a group of old men, surrounding Fang Meng and a middle-aged man, shouting and cursing. .
Seeing Meng Zhang riding over, some people around him recognized him.
“The leader is coming, please give way.”
The originally crowded crowd parted to both sides, making way for a passage.
Even the people who were arguing at first became quiet.
Meng Zhang ordered Li Baofu behind him: “Let everyone around you disperse.”
As the ruler of the Sweetwater Oasis, Taiyimen has sufficient authority here.
Li Baofu dispersed the surrounding crowd without spending much effort. The streets that were once packed became empty.
Meng Zhang glanced at Fang Meng and ignored him. Instead, he looked at the middle-aged man beside him.
“I don’t know what kind of master you are, but you came to my Taiyi Gate as a guest, and you didn’t even inform this master.”
This middle-aged man is about the same age as Fang Meng, and his face looks very kind.
He cupped his hands towards Meng Zhang.
“Your Excellency is the head of the Taiyi Sect, Meng. I am Zhao Dong, speaking of which, I am still a neighbor of the Taiyi Sect.”
“This time I went back to my hometown to visit relatives with my friend Fang, and also casually visited my neighbors. I’m really sorry that I didn’t say hello in advance.”
Meng Zhang got off his horse and first walked to the old man with white beard and hair.
“Mr. Tian, if the younger generation fails to live up to expectations, you will suffer.”
“Everyone, thank you for your hard work. You and the old man can rest together. I will take care of the rest.”
Meng Zhang bowed his hands to the old men.
Mr. Tian is also a disciple of Taiyi Sect, but he left Taiyi Sect decades ago and returned to live in Tianshui Oasis.
Theoretically speaking, a monk in the Qi Refining Stage can have up to two Jiazi, which is the maximum lifespan of one hundred and twenty years. However, this is only the most ideal situation. In fact, few Qi-refining monks can live beyond a hundred years.
The reasons are very complicated, involving personal cultivation conditions, different physical conditions of each person, etc.
Mr. Tian has lived to be over a hundred years old, and his body is still strong, which is really an anomaly.
More than ninety years ago, Taiyimen was rebuilt here for the third time. At that time, Mr. Tian, who was less than ten years old, was the first group of disciples recruited by Taiyi Sect.
Mr. Tian, who has experienced almost the entire history of Taiyi Sect since its third reconstruction, can be regarded as a living fossil and auspicious person in the sect.
