Lu Xueqi [Zhu Xian]

Qingyun Mountain, Tongtian Peak.

Outside the Yuqing Hall, a large group of people stood densely, and upon closer inspection, they were all members of the righteous path, including Master Daoxuan, head of Qingyun, and Yun Yilan, owner of Fenxiang Valley.

The sky is cloudless, and the mountain breeze is gentle. If it weren't for the fact that there are too many grievances and enmities in this mortal world, and there are constant entanglements, it would be like a fairyland on earth.

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and at the bottom of the mountain, entangled and floating in the depths of the white clouds among the towering Tongtian Peak, a golden light flashed suddenly, and then it quickly became larger, and it quickly approached the peak in a short while.

I saw the golden light floating, taking the shape of a golden lotus blooming, floating up among the white clouds, and the Sanskrit sounds echoed between the heaven and the earth.

Reverend Daoxuan and Yun Yilan went forward at the same time, the golden lotus fell, swaying and flickering for a moment, the golden light dissipated, and dozens of Buddhist monks headed by Master Puhong of Tianyin Temple appeared.

The headed master, Master Puhong, looked just as before, compassionate and peaceful, with a golden red Buddhist robe and a solemn treasure appearance, holding a string of dark sandalwood beads in his hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Standing behind him is Pufang, a tall and tall junior who holds the "Golden Bowl of the Buddha". After that, there are more than a dozen eminent monks and second-generation disciples of Tianyin Temple. Faxiang, Fashan and other famous Buddhist disciples are also there. in.

Reverend Daoxuan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master Puhong, you are finally here, everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time!"

Master Puhong nodded with a smile, and said: "I am ashamed to keep all the benefactors and the head of Daoxuan waiting for so long."

At this moment, Yun Yilan, who was standing beside Master Daoxuan, said with a loud smile: "Master, do you still recognize me? I haven't seen you for many years. Don't forget all the old friends you used to know!"

Master Puhong glanced at Yun Yilan, his expression was obviously startled, and even the smile that he had been wearing all the time was restrained for a moment, then a look of admiration flashed in front of his eyes, and said: "Could it be that this benefactor is actually Yun Yi Is Lanyun the old valley owner?"

Yun Yilan laughed loudly, and saluted, "It's the old man who has met Master Abbot."

Puhong came up and bowed back to salute, and said with a smile: "I've heard that Fenxiang Valley's Taoism is profound, especially the Three Yang Realm of the 'Fenxiang Jade Book' is even more miraculous. Donor Yun is determined and talented. Could it be that he has reached the level of 'Yuyang'?" environment?"

Yun Yilan's complexion changed slightly, and his heart was shocked, unexpectedly he was recognized by Master Daoxuan and Master Puhong successively to see his realm of Taoism, he couldn't help feeling suspicious in his heart: Could it be that there are spies in my sect who can't do it?

Thinking this way, he had a calm expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Master's eyes are like torches, and this old man's mediocrity is nothing to worry about!" After a pause, Yun Yilan looked slightly serious, and said: "But since Master is here, That's good.

"Nowadays the world is devastated and monsters are rampant. It is a disaster that has never been seen in ancient times. I hope that the master can lead the world in the right way. There is no such thing as goodness to get rid of this disaster."

Daoxuan stood aside, silently looking at Yun Yilan who looked down very deeply.

Venerable Master Puhong humbly said: "Where is the meaning of benefactor Yun? The common people in the world have been robbed, and beasts and monsters are rampant. Everyone in Tianyin Temple is a disciple of Buddhism, how can they retreat to the back of others? But now the world is full of righteous ways, and Daoxuan senior brother has always been respected. , Taoism has supernatural powers, so it is natural that Senior Brother Daoxuan should be the leader to lead the righteous way in the world to fight against powerful enemies."

Daoxuan smiled and said: "Master is too polite, Daoxuan really dare not be so."

Venerable Puhong folded his palms together and said: "Master Daoxuan, the common people in the world are looking forward to day and night to get rid of this catastrophe as soon as possible. You must never refuse."

Yun Yilan chuckled, and said: "Both of you are masters of the Tao, but why are there so many polite words, come on, let's go in and talk, otherwise let these many fellow Taoists accompany the three of us to talk and blow, Don't you neglect others!"

Reverend Daoxuan and Master Puhong looked at each other and smiled, and they walked together. Along the way, people kept saying hello to Master Puhong and the monks of Tianyin Temple, which shows that Tianyin Temple has a high reputation in the righteous way.

All the way to the Yuqing Palace, Xiao Yicai, Qi Hao, Li Xun, etc. were old acquaintances with the Faxiang and Fashan of Tianyin Temple, and they all came together to talk now.

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, Li Xun seemed to have thought of something again, walked slowly to Xiao Yicai's side, and when no one was paying attention, he said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Xiao, please ask."

Xiao Yicai was startled, and said: "Senior Brother Li, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it."

Li Xun hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but speak out, saying: "... These days, especially today is such an important day, why haven't you seen Lu Xueqi and Junior Sister Lu appear?"

Xiao Yicai was slightly startled, glanced at Li Xun, and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Li, Master Shuiyue of Xiaozhu Peak asked Lu Junior Sister to retreat and practice at the moon-watching platform, which can be regarded as avoiding suspicion."

Li Xun said "ah", with a complicated expression, like sad, but also a little bit ashamed and annoyed, but after a while, he sighed again, smiled wryly at Xiao Yicai, and said: "Thank you brother Xiao for telling me, I am very grateful, in fact You don't have to take my feelings into consideration, after all, I already know Junior Sister Lu's intentions."

Xiao Yicai nodded, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder.

Among the crowd, Fa Xiang slowly looked away, and suddenly heard someone whispering beside him: "Master, does Master know about Senior Brother Li proposing marriage to Junior Sister Lu Xueqi?"

Fa Xiang smiled slightly, glanced at Qi Hao who was standing beside him, and said, "I heard a little."

Qi Hao nodded and stopped talking, but Fa Xiang suddenly sighed, with a bit of emotion in his voice.Qi Hao was slightly surprised, and said, "Brother Fa Xiang, why are you sighing so much?"

Faxiang smiled faintly, regained his original expression, and said, "It's nothing, I just remembered an old friend."

Qi Hao wondered: "Old man, what old man?"

Faxiang said leisurely: "An old man who was born and died with us, has a lot to do with us, and that Miss Lu..."

Qi Hao fell silent, and after a long time, he also sighed heavily, and there was a bit of emotion in his voice that the world is going through vicissitudes and things are changing.
