In the south of the Dajing Dynasty, it is as warm as spring. There is a towering mountain that reaches into the clouds. Halfway up the mountain, two mountaineering figures can be seen. One is wearing a green shirt and holding a sword, and the other is wearing white clothes and a lotus crown on his head. Both of them are covered with clouds and mist.
This pair of Taoist friends traveling together is well known to the world, and they are also a model of mutual enlightenment. They are talked about by the monks of the Immortal family. When the Lotus Crown Taoist left his cave, the seven realms were not yet stable, and it was from Qingshan Jiankui that he After receiving compensation for his mental state, he successfully established a foothold in the realm of great monks. Similarly, the leader of swordsmanship at that time was only a sixth-grade Great Perfection Grandmaster, and he could not find an opportunity to become a seventh-grade Grandmaster. The Lotus Crown Taoist used his magical power to open up the World Warriors Temple, allowing the blue-shirted swordsman to see the master. The statue of the ancestor of martial arts. Jian Kui spent seven hundred and forty-nine days in front of the statue to achieve enlightenment. He finally saw a wider and broader road, and thus successfully became a great master.
Unlike the harsh winters in the north during the Dajing Dynasty, the south is as warm as spring all year round. Now when hiking, the warm breeze is blowing, the orioles are crisp, and the vegetation is lush everywhere, presenting a prosperous scene. Taoist Master Lotus Crown looked at the lush green mountains in the distance, feeling relaxed and said with a smile: "If you want to rest in the spring fragrance, who wouldn't want to stay?"
The green-shirted swordsman, who was only fluent in writing, said for the first time: "If there are orioles on the flowers, you can stop practicing your sword first."
Lotus Crown Taoist sincerely praised: "Elegant and elegant."
Suddenly he laughed at himself, "Nowadays, the world's general situation is like a treacherous and unpredictable situation, and you still have time to enjoy flowers. Isn't it too big-hearted?"
The green-shirted sword leader said softly: "The old abbot of Fanke Mountain should be betting on Prince Dajing."
Lotus Crown Taoist smiled and said: "The queen in the capital insisted on canonizing Mount Fanke as the official orthodoxy more than ten years ago. It is not without reason. There must be some unknown conspiracy agreement. Since the prince is full of arrogance, Luck has been a thorn in the eyes of countless people since the day he was born, so it is natural to plan in advance. His Majesty the Emperor is a secular person and is involved in government affairs every day, so the only people who can negotiate with Fan Keshan are the Empress or the Imperial Master of Dajing. But I am really curious about what words he said or how much price he paid to make the old abbot who would not pluck a hair from his iron rooster hesitate to use the century-old golden lotus to save the lives of the two people. Right now, he still has The bet was not clearly given, but the intention was too obvious. Anyone who was not a fool could guess which prince he was going to bet on. But he didn't know how generous he could be to gift the luck of the blessed land of Buddhism and shake the century-old golden lotus. Foundation? Obviously it is unlikely. It is probably like the great master Feng Guoshi, doing some things between masters and disciples, preaching, accepting karma, solving doubts, and clearing some obstacles for the great road."
Jian Kui frowned slightly, "Has the Great Master Feng also started betting?"
"A young boy with very strong bones is indeed rare in the world, but he is too impatient. Anyway, if it were me, I would never bet on such a person."
The corners of the Lotus Pipe Man's lips raised, "Wu Peixian, the great monk of the Yin Yang Family, bets, or the prince, the abbot of Fan Keshan, who are you more optimistic about?"
Without hesitation, Jian Kui gave the answer: "Whether it is in terms of temperament or talent, that prince cannot be better than Wu Peixian. This person is more terrifying than you and I think. I worked in the Wu family when I was young. Dear guest, I have met him several times, and his machinations and calculations really make me feel afraid. It is not unreasonable for the old emperor Dafeng to value him so much."
Lotus Crown Taoist smiled and said: "In that case, I will tell you a shocking secret. Do you know what Wu Peixian visited the Dafeng Dynasty and chatted with the old emperor who personally met him outside the city?"
Taoist Lotus Crown narrowed his eyes and said sternly: "He wants Wu Peixian to sit on the dragon chair."
The sword leader was slightly shocked, "The old emperor is not a monk of the Immortal family, so why can he bet on it? A secular emperor can only do secular things and control the people of a country, so he dares to participate in the bets of the Immortal family and the immortals at the risk of the world's disapproval. Are you really not afraid at all?"
"You are wrong," Lotus Crown Taoist said softly: "Even if he has the protection of an immortal, he would not dare to overstep his bounds. So when he asked Wu Peixian to be the emperor, he did not want to take a gamble, but he truly appreciated Wu Peixian and wanted to Let him bring the Dafeng Dynasty to an unprecedented level, just like Zhuang Tianji, the prime minister of the Dajing Dynasty."
"So," Taoist Lotus Crown said with a smile, "I have the same idea as you. The prince does have some character and means, but after all, he is still too immature when he first entered the world. If he is given another twenty years, he will It’s really hard to draw a conclusion as to who is stronger or weaker than Wu Peixian, but now that the war is imminent, especially since Wu Peixian also has Yao Tiao and Xie Guanzhao under his command, he has only one way to die.”
The sword leader was expressionless, "Although Yao Tiao is ranked twelfth in the martial arts evaluation, his strength should not be underestimated. Even if he is my enemy, he would not dare to take it lightly. He just hasn't found a suitable opportunity to break through. It is certain that he will become a grand master." Of the four maids beside the prince, I don’t know anything else. One of them is very famous on the battlefield, and was feared by Emperor Dafeng as the enemy of ten thousand people, but she is only in her twenties in martial arts reviews. Even if those three The maids are all stronger than her, but if they want to defeat Yao Tiao, the chances of winning are still too slim."
Taoist Lotus Crown said with emotion: "So, he was able to block the river by himself and defeat the navy, defeat several huge ships, carry the Nanzhao princess and fight through the siege of the martial arts masters, and get the old emperor Da Feng." personally praised it.”
"Xie Guanzhao can stop thousands of cavalry by himself, and Yao Tiao casually kills those four maids. As for the prince, there is no way he can be Wu Peixian's opponent, especially when the great monk of the Yin and Yang family also gave him the ancient sword Fuji. Master Da Feng didn't He may take action, because there will be a dispute between the prince and the person he bets on. The only way to solve the situation is to choose the old abbot who bet on the prince to help. Even if he is not good at fighting, he can still kill at will because of the favorable location. Yao Tiao and Xie Guanzhao who have not yet entered the Grand Master. It is a pity that with such a huge accident like mine, His Royal Highness can only die."
Jian Kui was silent for a long time, his tone slightly cold, "Tell me the truth, old abbot, do you also want to bet on Wu Peixian?"
Hearing his question, Master Lotus Crown was not surprised at all, and shook his head slightly, "No, no, I am not interested in the bets of those great monks and immortals. The reason why I want to appear in Fanke Mountain , the old abbot was restrained from taking action only because of a grudge between Buddhism and Taoism hundreds of years ago. Do you know why there is an irreparable cave in my lotus cave? It’s the old abbot of Fanke Mountain. It was destroyed hundreds of years ago. Otherwise, how difficult would it be to accumulate spiritual energy in Lotus Cave and derive countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures?"
"It's disrespectful to come and go without reciprocating. If you destroy the foundation of my cave, I will cut off his fate of Buddhahood. If he really dares to take action, I will take the opportunity to destroy his Tianchi Golden Lotus. I have no grievances or enmities with that prince, no. I deliberately targeted him. I even gave him two Taoist Golden Pills. Otherwise, he should have died long ago. How could he still be alive today? So betting on Wu Peixian is simply nonsense. I do hope he can help. Keep the name of the prince, and then I will cut off his luck in Fanke Mountain and settle the grudges of hundreds of years. This is the best result. If he chooses to sit back and ignore it because of my constraints, then I will have neither If I succeed, the empress in the capital will still be angry with me, which is simply more gain than loss."
Jian Kui said calmly: "No one wants to lose big because of small things. If a person dies, he can bet on others, but Fan Keshan is the foundation of his Dao, so if you want him to take action, it is almost impossible. Just like you As I said, not only did you fail, but to a certain extent, you were the cause of the prince's death, so the queen in the capital would never let you go. As the fourth greatest monk in the world, she looked at the entire Immortal family, and It is difficult for anyone to defeat you. Even if you hide in the Lotus Cave, she will definitely dig deep to find you due to the pain of losing her son. Just like more than ten years ago, she wanted to change the fate of Ni Tian and let the prince die at all costs. And come back to life. So if you do this, you are undoubtedly seeking death. Who can save you then? I advise you to stop and don't do anything you are not sure about. "
Taoist Lotus Crown suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky, wondering: "Why are there no clouds in the sky?"
Once you've tried to persuade someone, you won't do it a second time. Now that you've said it so far, if you don't want to listen, just let it go. The sword leader no longer took this matter to heart, rubbed the scabbard with his fingers, and said: "After accompanying you back to Lotus Cave, I am going to go to Dragon Slaying Cliff."
Taoist Lotus Crown was not shocked by this sentence, as if he had guessed it a long time ago, and just said, "It is a good thing to ask for swords from higher places, but you must not die, otherwise I will be sad."
Unknowingly, the two of them had reached the top of the mountain. The fog even wet their clothes. They looked far into the distance, and could vaguely see the white cattails.
Lotus Crown Taoist smiled and said to himself, "I don't know why I'm a little nervous. Is this because I feel more timid about being close to my hometown?"
The sword leader rubbed the hilt of his sword and turned to look at him, "Are you coming, or am I coming?"
"This time Pindao is going home, so let Pindao do it."
Putting his slender fingers together and tapping the lotus crown on his head, the Taoist smiled and said: "A breeze dreams of pothos, and Nanke is everywhere in the world."
In the distant sky, there was first a mustard seed point of light, and then suddenly exploded, streaking across a bright golden thread that illuminated the world for countless miles.
The clouds and mist formed steps, and the two began to ascend to the sky step by step.
The world is divided into three. The first level is the Immaculate Sky, where immortals live. The second level is the Immortal Family Heaven, where many monks practice. The third level is also the lowest level, which is the secular world, that is, the human world. It has the richest smoke and smoke and has become a place where many immortal monks travel.
Dajing Dynasty, a private house in the palace.
The Taoist priest carefully arranged the Twelve Spring Divine Cups and was lost in thought for a long time, until a clear voice called him back.
"Daydreaming."
Chen Luyao joked, sat down next to him, put her hands on her chin, and said, "Take it out to appreciate again? Why don't you take it back quickly? If the Queen comes, you and I will be doomed."
The young Taoist priest turned to look at the ethereal woman, his eyes slightly red, "You really don't want to stay?"
Chen Luyao did not answer, but said softly: "This Twelve Spring Divine Cup was given to you by Her Royal Highness, right?"
The Taoist priest said sadly: "Your Highness the Princess is very reluctant to leave you."
Chen Luyao tilted her head, as if she was thinking about something, and suddenly smiled brightly, and said happily: "It's great to be able to go back to see my parents soon."
Seeing that he still looked sad, she said coquettishly: "Oh, just smile, I'm leaving soon, can't you cherish the time you have with me?"
"That's right." The young Taoist priest suddenly became cheerful.
"Chen Luyao, can we sing that song together again?"
"OK."
"Don't come here in the middle of spring, it will touch your eyes and make your heart break. The plum blossoms are as messy as snow, and they are still full even if you brush them all over."
"There is no reliable news about the coming of wild geese, and it is difficult to realize the dream of returning home after a long journey. A separation from hatred is like grass in spring. The farther you travel, the more you will live."
Outside the window, Qin Fang quietly turned and left.
Lu Yao and Lu Yao, it turns out that they can travel farther and survive.
