Reborn Enemy

In the early morning of the second day, before dawn, all the disciples went down the mountain separately. Because they had been instructed, there was no big commotion.Chen Qian and Chang Jinxin agreed to go together, and Bu Shuihan took a few disciples to Danghun Mountain according to the plan.Gu Pinglin had a secret in his heart, so it was inconvenient to bring too many people with him, so he only secretly contacted two disciples, both of whom had been observed and confirmed to be reliable.

In fact, most of the disciples are unwilling to join the team. The matter of finding inheritance is inherently sensitive. There are too many monks and too little food, so it is better to act alone and try your luck.

The night was still dark and the mountain wind was icy. Gu Pinglin stood at the mountain gate, his black cloak trembling, and the hem of the placket was lifted from time to time, revealing the toes of black boots.Brothers would stop to say hello when they passed by, and he occasionally returned the salute.

The other two in the team are named Jiang Ruoxu and Leng Xu.Jiang Ruoxu's qualifications are insufficient, he looks like he is in his 40s, and it is estimated that he will reach the peak if he can form the outer alchemy in this life.Leng Xu is much younger, and has advanced to the third rank of Qi Refining.The two stood behind Gu Pinglin, busy saying goodbye to their fellow apprentices.

All the travel items were put in the storage bag, and the disciples left with only two sleeves, which was quite chic.Unknowingly, an hour passed, and the sky was about to dawn, and the mountain gate became empty again.

Jiang Ruoxu stepped forward and reminded: "Junior Brother Gu, are we leaving too?"

Gu Pinglin looked ahead: "Wait a little longer."

Leng Xu asked: "Brother is waiting for someone?"

Gu Pinglin said "hmm" without further explanation.After another cup of tea time, the agreed time has come, but Duan Qingming still hasn't shown up.Gu Pinglin was not disappointed either, he ordered to set off, and the three of them flew away with their swords.

The so-called Sea Realm is a weird secret place deep in the East China Sea.There is no clear boundary between the world of comprehension and the human world, it's just that ordinary people's naked eyes are blocked by the magic circle of protecting the mountains, so they can't easily see those spiritual mountains and secret valleys.The journey to the sea is far away, and the sword and sky skills are too mana-intensive. Originally, monks usually use mounts to travel when they go out, but there are not many golden eagles in the Spiritual Sect. Gu Pinglin has not been out of retreat for a long time. If you don't have a mount, you need to feed it with spiritual grass and spiritual poultry meat, which costs more.Gu Pinglin was not in a hurry, and took the two of them on foot to walk from the world, and picked spirit grass to make alchemy. However, in ordinary mountains and forests, there were few large spirit beasts and fierce beasts, so they couldn't make much money. Occasionally, they saw ghosts haunting others, and the three of them would help After cooking, it is also gaining reputation for the Spiritual Pie.

The three of them traveled during the day and stayed at the inn at night. After walking for about a month, they finally arrived at Yecheng. Yecheng is not far from the East China Sea. The local spiritual Taoism.

The sects in the comprehension world have to raise so many disciples, and it costs a lot of money. Many sect families have properties outside, such as the spiritual grass garden, medicine shop and weapon shop, etc., and the goods are mainly sold to the monks who come and go.As for Taoist temples, monks dare not intervene in human wars because of the catastrophe, but it is possible to do such good things as selling medicines to cure diseases, killing demons, driving ghosts, eliminating disasters and ensuring safety. Monks are highly respected, and many dignitaries and royal families will enshrine Taoist temples. Of course, various sects don’t care about property offerings. The establishment of Taoist temples is actually for the sake of the sect’s reputation. Just imagine, if people have never heard of your sect, how can they send their children to apprentice ?In this way, good disciples will inevitably flow into other sects, and follow-up strength is the foundation for the sect to survive.

The Lingxin Sect happened to have a Taoist temple in Ye City, and the guards were outer disciples.These disciples are not well-qualified, and most of their cultivation bases are not in the Qi Refining Realm, so they are sent out to manage ordinary affairs. Much stronger.

Yecheng is connected to the four main cities and the East China Sea. It has a unique geographical location. Many first-class sects have Taoist temples here. Compared with the Lingxin sect, they are not well-known. Gu Pinglin thought that the temples were deserted, but the result was unexpected— ——The gate is high, the steps are clean, and the outer wall looks like it has just been renovated. Occasionally, pilgrims come out, which shows that the incense is very good.

Two young Taoist boys in their teens stood at the door, welcoming and seeing off guests very politely.

"You can see the whole leopard at a glance." Gu Pinglin sighed secretly, if Daotong is like this, it can be seen that the master of the temple has put his heart into it.

Leng Xu stepped forward and called: "That Taoist boy, quickly ask your temple masters to come out to meet the guests."

There are also many guests who come to visit, but there are few such loud-mouthed ones.The two little Taoist boys were very alert, and they gave each other a wink. One of the Taoist boys stepped forward to make a gesture and asked cautiously: "May I ask where the three benefactors come from and what are their names? Xiaodao can also inform you."

It's kind of cute for a teenager to act like an old-fashioned adult.The three heard it funny, and Leng Xu was about to reveal his identity, when a voice suddenly came: "The Xiaodao, place an order!"

The one who came was a benevolent old Taoist, with black beard and black hair, and a fluttering khaki Taoist robe, looking like a fairy.

Most of the people called "hang orders" are monks, and they should not be offended. The two little Taoist boys have been taught, and hurriedly greeted them down the steps and bowed: "I don't know what to call the master?"

Seeing the person coming, Gu Pinglin was shocked, he hurriedly gestured to stop Leng Xu from speaking, and quickly gave the two of them a wink, the three of them quietly retreated to the side, just as a few pilgrims came out, the three of them were wearing mortal clothes , the old Taoist didn't pay attention for a while, and said with a smile: "The poor Taoist is under the door of Feijian Palace, and his surname is Wang. Do you have any vacant rooms in the temple?"

Feijian Palace is the head of the eight sects. Two Taoist boys respected each other, and one of them said politely: "So it's Wang Daxiu. There are vacant rooms. Daxiu, please come with me."

"The boy is clever." The old man praised, followed up the steps, and looked back inadvertently.

Gu Pinglin said to Daotong: "The Zhao family, those who come to worship, have something to trouble the master."

The Zhao family is a wealthy family in Yecheng, Daotong said with a smile: "It turns out to be the benefactor of Zhao, please follow the trail and go in for tea."

Seeing this, the old Taoist had no doubts, turned around and went to the number room with the little Taoist boy to place an order.

Gu Pinglin and the others then entered the door, but they saw in the temple: the treasure tripod in the atrium was brightly colored, the ancient lamps on the stone building reflected the setting sun, the smoke from the Sanqing Hall was lingering, and there were no flowers or trees to fill the courtyard with fragrance.

Three or five Taoist priests were cleaning the steps in front of the hall, and a handsome young Taoist priest in his twenties was standing beside him. When he saw the little Taoist boy, he said angrily, "Omniscient, why did you come in?"

Xiaodao Tong Quanzhi stopped when he heard the words, and replied respectfully: "Uncle Gan, these three are from the family of benefactor Zhao, and they want to see the temple master."

The young Taoist priest had already seen the three of Gu Pinglin, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He smiled and said: "It turns out that you are a distinguished guest, and the poor Taoist is willing to be the chief."

The name was somewhat familiar, Gu Pinglin remembered it after thinking for a while, with a calm expression on his face, he just nodded.

Gan Li pondered for a while, then told Quanzhi: "In that case, you should report to the temple master." After speaking, he said to Gu Pinglin and the others, "You three, please come inside and have tea."

Gu Pinglin pursed his lips slightly, and followed him into the side hall.

The side hall is obviously a place to receive guests. The two rows of black lacquered tables and chairs are neat and clean. The front wall is dedicated to the portrait of the founder of the Lingxin sect. Black stone, inconspicuous.

Gan Li asked the three of them to sit on the row of chairs on the right, while he sat on the second chair on the left. After Daotong brought tea, he tentatively asked, "I don't know why the three of you are here?"

Leng Xu glanced at Gu Pinglin, and said: "This matter is important, and we must discuss it with the temple master."

He refused to say it, and Gan Li was not angry: "The three are not from the Zhao family, are they?"

Jiang Ruoxu wondered: "How do you know we are not from the Zhao family?"

Gan Li said implicitly and politely: "The master of the temple has suffered from many physical discomforts in recent years, and has entrusted the affairs of the temple to the poor Taoist priest. Although the poor Taoist is not talented, he has a little knowledge of spells. The three of you have something urgent, so you might as well talk about it first." Listen to Pindao?"

It turned out that he was in charge of Guannei, and the Zhao family had known about it for a long time. The three of them didn't know the details, so they proposed to see the temple owner.

Gu Pinglin secretly praised this person for his carefulness, and said slowly: "Let's talk about it after meeting the temple master."

Gan Li finally showed obvious doubts.

Gu Pinglin asked: "The temple master is your great-grandfather?"

Gan Li was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Exactly, Your Excellency..."

Before they finished speaking, footsteps came from outside, the three of them stopped the topic at the same time, turned to look, and saw an old man walking in from behind the screen.

The old man's beard and hair are completely white, his eyes are cloudy, and his movements are already a bit unsteady. It can be seen that there is no hope for breaking the situation, and his lifespan is almost exhausted.

Gan Li quickly got up to help him, and whispered a few words.

The old man showed a slight surprise, and smiled at the three of them: "Old Taoist Gan Min, is the master of the temple here. He is old and inconvenient, so he couldn't meet him far away. I hope the distinguished guests will forgive me."

None of the three got up, Gu Pinglin said: "Guanzhu Gan is being polite."

Seeing how entrusted they were, Gan Min didn't dare to sit down: "I don't know which fairy mountain the three masters came from?"

Gu Pinglin didn't answer, but stood up and walked to the altar, stretched out his left hand and pressed on the black stone, using the Lingxinpai technique, the unsurprising black stone emitted a faint seven-colored light.

Gan Min's expression froze, he carefully identified it for a moment, then backed away again, but made a big salute: "It turns out that it's the elder brother from the inner sect who came here. I'm so rude, please don't blame me."

Gan Li came to his senses and hurriedly saluted.

There are ranks in each sect, and the outer disciples are lower than the inner disciples. This is the default rule, otherwise the hierarchy will be out of order, which will be very unfavorable to management.Gu Pinglin received this big gift, turned around and returned to his seat: "Since we are fellow disciples, we don't need to see outsiders, please sit down, Guanzhu Gan."

Gan Min stepped forward to sit with him, and carefully asked Jiang Ruoxu, "I don't know what the names of the three senior brothers are?"

Jiang Ruoxu smiled and introduced: "My surname is Jiang, and that is Junior Brother Leng." He paused and said, "This is Junior Brother Gu, I worship under the head of the sect, I think you have heard of his name."

"So it's Senior Brother Gu!" Gan Min was moved, and wanted to stand up again to salute, "I just heard about him the day before yesterday, and I didn't expect to meet him by fate. I'm so lucky."

The matter of Gu Pinglin's modification of the exercises is public, and the outer disciples have naturally heard of it.Gu Pinglin stopped him from being polite: "We are passing by here, and we need to rest in your temple for a few days, please arrange it."

Knowing that he had the highest status, Gan Min hurriedly responded, but couldn't help showing a hint of disappointment.

Gu Pinglin saw it, picked up his teacup, and said casually: "Your great-grandson is not bad."
