Chenjia Mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, several young Taoist priests stood up straight and guarded the entrance to the mountain road. They were all overjoyed to see Ling Xiao coming.
"Senior Brother Ling!"
"Senior brother, you came so early. There is no need for morning classes today!"
Everyone gathered around.
Ling Xiao is very popular among his fellow disciples.
"Are you here to welcome guests?" Ling Xiao asked curiously.
Don't ordinary monks go up the mountain with their weapons? What are they doing at the foot of the mountain?
"No, we are guarding here to prevent people from rushing up the mountain. Today is special!" A little Taoist priest laughed.
"I see."
Ling Xiao nodded slightly.
Qingfeng Temple has never prohibited people from going up the mountain to worship, but there are still a few immortal sects who are happy with the people.
Most of the monks at the celebration don't have a good attitude towards ordinary people, so it's better for the people not to go up the mountain to ask for trouble.
"I am leaving."
Ling Xiao said goodbye to his junior brothers and walked slowly up the mountain.
There were five disciples sweeping the mountain today, which shows how seriously Qingfeng Temple is taken.
At this moment, the mountain road is spotless and a quiet winter scene.
Ling Xiao walked slowly, greeting his brothers and sisters all the way to the top of the mountain.
Qingfengguan.
Today, the Taoist temple gate ceremony has been rarely decorated and renovated, making it appear solemn and solemn. Even the screen wall at the door was moved out. On the wall was a scene depicting the ancestor Qingfeng killing the green snake.
Ling Xiao often heard this period of history mentioned by his master and uncle, and he knew it by heart.
"Ling Xiao is here."
Xuan Yunzi came out to greet him. The brand new Taoist robe made him look extraordinary. The same Taoist robe worn on Ling Xiao would not give him such an aura.
"Uncle Master, do you need any help?" Ling Xiao asked quickly.
Xuan Yunzi pondered for a moment and said: "We are generally ready. Then go to the back mountain to help Brother Xuanling and take good care of the spiritual field before the celebration begins."
"good!"
Ling Xiao took the order and left.
He just didn't want to stay at the main entrance and do some social and reception work.
Inside the Taoist temple, everything was busy.
Ling Xiao hurriedly ran to the back hill, only to see Xuan Lingzi sitting on the edge of the field to rest.
"Are you here to help? Why didn't you come earlier?" Xuan Lingzi asked with a smile.
"Uncle, are you done?" Ling Xiao was stunned.
What he didn't know was that since Xuan Lingzi was promoted to the seventh level of Qi Refining, not only his efficiency in taking care of the spiritual field has greatly increased, but he has also become more enthusiastic. He gets up before dawn to work. Of course it is over now.
"Hey, that's fine. I'll take a rest."
Ling Xiao sat next to Xuan Lingzi.
The latter stared at him and asked: "Be careful, the new Taoist robe will be dirty for you later!"
Ling Xiao quickly got up and looked around. The fields were golden, and his eyes couldn't help but shine.
Xuan Lingzi smiled and said: "I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet, there are still a few days before harvesting!"
In a few days, Ling Xiao will harvest an entire acre of second-level spiritual rice!
Since this is the first planting, Lingxiao’s planting density is not high, but he expects to produce three to four hundred kilograms!
Ling Xiao felt hot.
The uncle and nephew chatted for a while, and after waiting for a while, they suddenly saw a red light shooting from the sky, and suddenly it fell towards the main entrance of Qingfeng Temple.
"Finally here!" Xuan Lingzi's face straightened.
Chenjia Mountain welcomes the first group of guests for today’s foundation building ceremony!
Ling Xiao looked at the red light from a distance and couldn't help but pursed his lips. He knew the figure there.
The current head of the Songshan Sword Sect, Gongsun Lie.
And the current owner of Laojiabao, Lao Yu.
Considering their status as "neighbors", it seems reasonable that these two people were the first to arrive.
However, Gongsun Lie lost his usual pomp today and did not bring any of his disciples.
When he thought of Gongsun Lie, Ling Xiao couldn't help but think of Xu Santong.
He had barely left home in the past few days and had never understood the Songshan Sword Sect's reaction after Xu Santong disappeared.
But even thinking about it, Xu Santong's disappearance must have caused an uproar within the Songshan Sword Sect.
After all, Xu Santong is not an ordinary person. He is not only the Zuo Guardian of the Songshan Sword Sect with a high position, but also a symbol of Gongsun Lie's recruitment strategy for casual cultivators!
With Xu Santong gone, how will Gongsun Lie react?
"Let's go and have a look!"
Ling Xiao pulled Xuan Lingzi, and the two of them rushed to the main door.
As soon as they arrived at the front hall, they saw Xuanjizi and Gongsun Lie standing side by side, bowing respectfully to the Sanqing Taoist statue, while Lao Yu was one step behind them.
"Lao Lao, Gongsun, please take a seat!"
The front hall was originally a place for morning classes. Now all the futons have been removed and replaced by two rows of chairs facing each other, arranged on the left and right of the main seat.
Gongsun Lie nodded slightly and sat down in the second seat, while Lao Yu took the initiative to stand behind him.
Looking at Lao Yu's expression, it's quite unnatural.
A few months ago, he and Xuan Jizi competed on the same stage. Although he lost in the end, he still showed good strength and was still qualified to be as famous as Xuan Jizi.
Nowadays, time has changed and Xuanjizi has succeeded in building a foundation, which suddenly widens the gap between the two sides infinitely!
Lao Yu has used up three opportunities to build the foundation, and expects to spend the rest of his life in the shadow of Xuan Jizi.
Lao Yu?
It’s just a talisman repair during the Qi refining period!
Ling Xiao was secretly feeling happy, and suddenly felt a chill in her back, just as she met Gongsun Lie's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Master Nephew Ling, long time no see." Gongsun Lie greeted with a smile.
Ling Xiao did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Ling Xiao has met the head Gongsun and the Lord Lao Bao!"
Lao Yu said nothing and his attitude was cold.
He suddenly thought that after Xuanjizi established the foundation, wouldn't he have to compete with the hairless Ling Xiao for the title of Master of Talismans in the Qi Refining Stage?
When he thought of this, Lao Yu felt completely discouraged and his enthusiasm was waning.
Gongsun Lie was enthusiastic and said with a smile: "Senior nephew Ling, you don't have to be polite. Your ability to make talismans makes me admire you! Speaking of which, your two families are neighbors. Junior nephew, come to Huangsong City to sit more often when you have time. sit down!"
"Headmaster Gongsun kindly invites you. Ling Xiao should obey the order. If you have the opportunity in the future, you will definitely visit!" Ling Xiao said with a smile.
If the other party knew that he had killed Xu Santong, would he still have such an expression?
Ling Xiao quickly shook off this idea to prevent Gongsun Lie from seeing the clues.
"Taoist Master Xuanji, why don't you see your other disciple, Taoist Master Ma Ying?" Gongsun Lie asked again.
"Thank you, Master Gongsun, for worrying about me. Ma Ying is working as a director at the back of the mountain, so he may not be able to get away from home!" Xuan Jizi replied calmly.
Back mountain?
Ling Xiao was slightly surprised.
He just came back from the back mountain, but he didn't see Ma Ying.
wrong.
He hasn't seen that guy since he went up the mountain today.
Just as he was doubting, another escaping light struck from the horizon, and another representative of the Immortal Sect arrived.
Xuanjizi winked at Ling Xiao and hurried out with his disciples.
The person who came was also a foundation-building monk, but he looked strange and had never seen him before.
The arrival of this person seemed to stir up a thousand waves with a stone, and then a stream of escaping lights came one after another. It didn't take long before the Qingfeng Guanshan Gate was filled to the brim.
Ling Xiao was busy greeting the guests and making excuses everywhere. For a moment, he couldn't think of anything else.
