But that confusion is only brief.

Soon he thought of a possibility.

"Is the incident that happened in the palace done by monks outside the mountain?!"

Li Mengzhou felt a little unbelievable.

During the period of demon destruction, a very small number of monks outside the mountain were surrounded and suppressed by monks from the righteous path of the world. They were still divided into two places and sealed at an extremely heavy price. At that time, more than half of the monks outside the mountain were killed, and only the strongest people were left. Because it was difficult to kill, they chose to seal this way.

And to prevent them from gathering together and causing trouble again, we will deliberately separate them and seal them in two abandoned places far apart.

For decades, many new practitioners have been safe and sound. There are even many new practitioners who can only know the existence of monks outside the mountain in the collection. They have never seen them with their own eyes. How could at this time, another monk from outside the mountain suddenly appear in this world?

During the period of demon destruction, the power of the monks outside the mountain can be seen by tens of thousands of people. If a monk outside the mountain descends comes to this world again, what a terrible thing would it be?!

Li Mengzhou's mind was completely separated from Yue Shiting. Even though he had never experienced the chaotic era of the demon-drawing period, he had a one-sided understanding of the monks outside the mountain, but he knew very clearly how powerful the monks outside the mountain were. That was the most instilled cognition he had when he was a child.

Yue Shiting looked in the direction of the palace outside the teahouse and said softly: "This matter has not been confirmed yet, but it is basically this kind of speculation, because the incident that happened in the palace does have traces of monks outside the mountain. With the medical skills of the Medicine King, even if it is almost impossible to distinguish it, this matter itself is no longer doubtful."

If there are really monks outside the mountain hidden in the palace, they must be monks who have crossed the fifth realm. Even if they are found out, they will inevitably need stronger five-level powerhouses to catch him in a foolproof way. This is why His Majesty the Emperor needs to ask Xue Wangyou to come out of the mountain.

There are not no powerful people in the palace in the fifth realm. Xue Wangyou's existence is just a guarantee, and the sword cultivator's sword and body can compete with the monks outside the mountain to a certain extent.

The reason why Yue Shiting told Li Mengzhou this was that he thought that Li Gong Jianyuan had known about these things for a long time. Of course, those disciples from the outer courtyard were not qualified to contact each other, but the disciples from the inner courtyard were definitely not completely unclear. Moreover, the Li Gong Jianyuan was standing outside the south gate, and there were disciples from the inner courtyard of Li Gong who needed to guard against the death to prevent the monks outside the mountain from escaping from the city.

The incident in the palace mobilized almost all the power in the capital.

In addition to His Majesty's concerns about the safety of the queen, the matter involving monks outside the mountain is enough to keep the whole city on guard.

......

Li Mengzhou returned to Chaosi Lane in a heavy mood.

Originally, it was to find an opportunity to contact Yue Shiting, but unexpectedly it got an unexpected result.

There must be some secrets in Yue Shiting and the mysterious middle-aged man in the carriage, but this matter is far less shocking than the monks outside the mountain in the palace that might have brought Li Mengzhou to Li Mengzhou.

The monks outside the mountain are called outsiders who do not belong to this world.

It is also called the Demonic Way side.

But their strength is beyond doubt.

It is a big deal for the reappearance of monks from other mountains in the world, not to mention that they are lurking in the capital of Jiang Kingdom, or even the Emperor. This is a very terrifying thing to think about.

Li Mengzhou could probably imagine that in the next period of time, the capital would be in turmoil and some people might even fall.

Gu Shiyan was infected by Li Mengzhou's heavy expression and frowned and asked, "What? What's wrong with Yue Shiting?"

"I don't know if Yue Shiting has any problems, but there may be a big problem in the capital."

Gu Shiyan's movement of wiping the sword paused slightly, looked up at him, and said, "Is it because of the incident in the palace?"

Before the vague news of the Empress being sick in the palace, Gu Shiyan had already returned to the capital. Although she was not clear about this matter, she had heard of it, so she could easily think of this aspect.

Li Mengzhou nodded and said, "Have you ever heard of monks outside the mountain?"

Gu Shiyan frowned slightly and said, "I once heard a brief lecture by the teacher at the Tornado Academy in the Western Jin Dynasty. It was a group of betrayers who violated the will of heaven. They were almost the nemesis of the monks of the Three Sects and were very powerful."

"A betrayer..."

Li Mengzhou said: "There may be monks outside the mountain appearing in the capital, and each practice gate has taken action. Perhaps the battle has begun in places we don't know."

He suddenly thought of something, stared at Gu Shiyan, and said with some surprise: "Are you from the Tornado Academy of the Western Jin Dynasty?"

The disciples of Confucianism were almost all over the world, and only the five most powerful dynasties had orthodox academies. Each academies had a different name, but they were actually one family.

Jiang State has a Lihua Academy, the Western Jin Dynasty has a Tornado Academy, and Wei State, Yan State and Nan Yu naturally have a Academy.

The academy of Nanyu was relatively weak because Nanyu was a Buddhist country, and it was difficult for the academy to gain a foothold there. Even the power of the Taoist sect in Nanyu was very weak, and the sword cultivator did not exist at all in Nanyu. Some of them were only a few Sanye sword cultivators.

Although the Western Jin Dynasty was a holy land of Jianmen and had almost never been penetrated by the Taoist sect, the existence of the academy was second only to Jiange. If Gu Shiyan was a student of Tornado Academy, her status would be very unusual. No wonder she was a top-grade strongman in the fourth realm at a young age.

Gu Shiyan also noticed that she had said she was revealing her mouth for a moment, but this matter itself was not something that had to be concealed, so she nodded and admitted: "I am not a formal disciple of Tornado Academy. Just like there are disciples from other mountain gates in Jiangguo Academy or wild cultivation who have received some opportunities. With the permission of the academy, I practiced with the students. In fact, I spent a short time in Tornado Academy."

The academy is a relatively tolerant place. Even if an external practitioner wants to enter the academy to practice, as long as there is no problem with his character, he will be allowed, but he just cannot get in touch with the real supernatural powers of the academy.

However, the academy contains countless volumes, including many factions of practice methods. Therefore, for external monks, entering the academy to practice is also a rare opportunity, which has led to many practitioners flocking to it.

This may be the reason why Confucian disciples are still slightly inferior to Taoist sects, because the academy has also cultivated many Taoist sects.

Confucians stick to family rules and are unwilling to make too many changes. Although they are extremely influential in the world, they are not the most powerful. However, it is precisely because most of the outer monks trained by the academy have outstanding character and will not do those ungrateful things. Even if the academy cannot compare with the Taoist sect, it is not willing to be hostile to the Taoist sect.

Li Mengzhou did not think about digging deeper into this matter and said, "You continue to stare at the movements of Xuan Zhengsi. Although the capital is in a turbulent situation, if you don't get the truth about that list, you will always feel uneasy. Maybe I can take this opportunity to do something."

He thought of the carriage that once appeared outside the door of Yue Shiting's mansion, and perhaps this could also become a breakthrough.

He left Chaosi Lane and went to Ligong Jianyuan late at night.

Ning Haoran led many disciples in the inner courtyard, and even teachers from the fourth realm followed him, crossing the outer courtyard and about to go down the mountain.

Xue Wangyou has already gone to the palace. The disciples of the Sword Academy will cooperate with the soldiers guarding the city in the South City Gate to strictly prevent people from entering and leaving. Even if there are four-level teachers and Ning Haoran personally lead the team, if the monks hidden in the mountain in the palace really cross the fifth level, they will be difficult for them to resist.

But these sword cultivators were not afraid at all, but were a little excited.

Besides, Xue Wangyou is not the only one in Ligong Jianyuan. Zhuo Bingchun will also observe in the dark. As long as he is there, the South City Gate will be as solid as a god, and even a fly will not escape.

There should be disciples who will not fall to the mountain. There should be disciples from Zhaixing Mansion and disciples from the academy guarding the East City Gate. Because of a suspicious monk outside the mountain, the capital can be said to be on guard.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, they just became more strict than before when they left the city. There seemed to be no big change and they were still busy.

The mountain gates sent disciples with four realms cultivation, or deacons, because there were some four realms sects near the capital, or five realms sects without extra five realms strongmen, the military headquarters also sent a large number of elite soldiers to help.

The hidden depressing atmosphere made the practitioners in the capital nervous. Ligong Sword Court was probably an exception, without any tension, and they showed their sharpness while walking one by one.

Li Mengzhou met his senior brothers down the mountain at the place leading to the mountain road in the outer courtyard.

Ning Haoran waved slightly and said, "The capital will not be peaceful in the past few days. In addition to defending the four city gates, each mountain gate and court department has secretly arranged personnel to avoid harm from ordinary people. But if the monks outside the mountain can be blocked in the palace and there are many powerful people in the five realms in charge, this matter should be calmed down soon."

It is only a speculation whether there are monks outside the mountain hidden in the palace. Ning Haoran doesn't believe it. All monks outside the mountain are sealed on two wild ridges. Even if there are monks from Shanhe Noi who come into contact with the magical powers outside the mountain, it is impossible to become very powerful in the short term.

But the so-called "It's better to believe that there is something than to believe that there is nothing". The Medicine King Chenru personally confirmed that there is indeed a force from outside the mountain in the palace, so they cannot help but be careless about this matter.

Ning Haoran just followed the teacher's order and carefully guarded the south city gate.

Li Mengzhou bowed to Ning Haoran and said, "Fourth Senior Brother, pay more attention to safety. This happened too suddenly. No one knew what happened in the palace. It would be better to be cautious."

Compared to Ning Haoran who did not believe that there were monks outside the mountain in the capital but were just following the orders, Li Mengzhou was mixed with each other. If there were indeed monks outside the mountain who had been hidden in the palace for many years, even if they were as powerful as the fourth senior brother, they would face great danger once they encountered it head-on.

Ning Haoran smiled and said, "I will pay more attention. Although my junior brother has made rapid progress, his cultivation is still relatively weak. If there is nothing wrong, let's stay in the sword courtyard for the time being."

Li Mengzhou nodded silently, then Ning Haoran and his group went down the mountain toward the south city gate.

......

As the night falls, the lights in Ligong Jianyuan are brightly lit, and the mountains are shining with sparkling lights. The night wind blows the green meaning, and the fragrance of flowers comes with the wind.

Jiang Zihua also left the mountain gate and hid in the darkness of the capital to prevent big fish from escaping, and endangering the safety of the people in panic.

Only the disciples of Jianjiayuan who lived in the outer courtyard of Ligong were not moved.

Except for Lu Jiuge, the other female monks in Jianjiayuan led by Nan Sheng were all in the third realm of cultivation. They would not have any effect in this undercurrent situation. What they could do was to stay in the sword courtyard obediently.

Originally, they planned to return to Jianjiayuan at the end of the Panlong Banquet, but then there was a problem in the harem, and their return could only be temporarily put on hold.

"There are really monks outside the mountain in the world?"

In that era of the devil's destruction, not to mention Nan Sheng, even her parents were not born yet. Even if she knew about the faction of monks outside the mountain in the mountain gate or in the classics, she had always regarded it as a story and never cared about it.

Now, suddenly a monk from the mountain appeared in the capital, and Nan Sheng felt it was very unreal.

Lu Jiuge entered Jianjiayuan for a short time, but she was the master of the mountain master after all. She had known more than Nan Sheng, but she was a personal disciple of the mountain master.

"Since the monks outside the mountain are called outsiders of this world, mountains and rivers, they are evil people who have been abandoned by the will of Taoism. As a member of the righteous monks, as long as they meet the monks outside the mountain, they should do their best to kill them."

"But the monk outside the mountain that appears in the capital now seems to be very strong. All we little monks like us can do is not to make trouble."

Nan Sheng nodded silently and said with some expectations: "I hope that monk outside the mountain can be solved soon. I miss the mountain master a little."

Lu Jiuge hesitated for a moment and said, "The noble man in the palace was targeted by a monk outside the mountain. This matter did not spread outside the capital. With the relationship between the mountain master and the noble man, if he learned about this matter, he might hope that we would go back as soon as possible."

Nan Sheng said with some confusion: "Is the mountain master having a bad relationship with the one in the palace? When I was in Jianjiayuan, the mountain master talked harshly to the one in the palace more than once, as if he was extremely disgusted with her."

This incident is not a secret in Jianjiayuan, but few people really know the situation.

Lu Jiuge knew a lot about it, but she also understood that this matter could not be said nonsense, so she did not answer Nan Sheng's question. She just looked up at Ye Se and said, "It's time for us to rest."

......

Li Mengzhou stood in front of the stone tablet outside the Ligong Mountain Gate, looked at the slender figure coming towards him, and said in confusion: "Sister Third Senior, why have you come out?"

The third senior sister was wearing a moon-white long gown, which was not very loose, and could not cover her pretty figure. Her cold face seemed to exude an extremely dazzling brilliance under the night.

In Li Mengzhou's eyes, the third senior sister is a young lady who doesn't like to talk and is very gentle, just like a daughter from a wealthy family, and she is a very talented lady from a wealthy family. She is definitely not the kind of willful and willful rich lady.

I like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, writing the most, and I like drinking the most, but the third senior sister who is not very drunk and has a slightly drunk state should be the most beautiful in the world.

If you have to find some problems, even the third senior sister seems to dislike dealing with people and have no good friends. She stays in the swordsmanship for many years and writes and practices. Many new disciples have never even known that the third senior sister exists.

Li Mengzhou thought about whether it was because of the monks outside the mountain that even the third senior sister was going to leave the Sword Academy?

The third senior sister stood still, looked at Li Mengzhou and said calmly, "I noticed your breath in the bamboo house and came to find you."

Li Mengzhou scratched his head and asked, "What's the matter with me, Senior Sister Third?"
