More than 50 years have passed in the historical corridor, and six months have passed in the outside world.
On this day, Lin Yuan, who had been standing still in the outside world, raised his head. The sky suddenly became dark. A beam of golden light fell into his eyes, and a large amount of information was transmitted.
"Yuji College, Tianjing College, college exchanges, Star Lord Summit in 6 months? The time is just in time."
After browsing the letters from the aging star master, Lin Yuan became motionless again, with all kinds of blurry scenes in his eyes, falling into a strange state.
The students were training in the historical corridor, and he was also working on his own plan.
No one except him knows what this plan is, not even himself in the historical corridors.
The clouds are rising and the golden light is shining. Xiaoniu Mountain in the early morning is particularly beautiful.
The crisp bells rang one after another, as if the turbid atmosphere of last night was washed away.
The Taoist priests in Xiaoniu Temple started their morning classes early.
"Linlang vibrates, and the ten directions are cleared. The rivers and seas are silent, and the mountains swallow smoke..."
Lina sat on the branches of the prayer tree, shaking her white legs one after another, watching them chanting sutras with interest.
At first, she just thought these Taoist priests were so noisy that she couldn't sleep well. I recite sutras in the morning and at night, but the same sutras come and go, which is really annoying.
Now, Lina likes to watch them chanting sutras. Although she was chanting loudly, she could always feel a peaceful power from the bottom of her heart.
"Perhaps, this is what Xiao Lin said, the noisy cicada forest is more quiet, and the bird singing mountain is more secluded?" Lina held her chin in her hands and looked at the leading Taoist in the distance.
Lin Yuan looked at the Taoist priests chanting sutras below with a smile.
This time, he didn't come in with any power. The person in this historical corridor is just an ordinary Taoist priest. If there is anything special about it, it should be the rich theoretical knowledge.
Therefore, he successfully convinced everyone and became the master of this newly built Taoist temple.
More than an hour later, Lin Yuan flicked his fly whisk and said loudly: "Morning classes are over and fasting begins."
The history intercepted by the Falcon Civilization Master is a very ancient era, and social productivity was very backward. In addition, some of Lin Yuan's students were doing trouble outside the mountain, so everyone's breakfast was just a hard steamed bun.
"Xiao Lin, why do you insist on eating this kind of thing? Are you also in special training?" Lina came to Lin Yuan's side and asked in confusion.
Lin Yuan took a bite of the steamed bun, sat on the stone bench, and said helplessly: "I am just an ordinary person now. How can ordinary people not eat? Also, remember to call me Taoist Master Xianxuan."
"Okay, Xiaolin. I remember." Lina nodded seriously and said.
No matter how many times I tell you, you still can’t remember it.
Lin Yuan sighed inwardly and continued to chew the bun in his hand.
Swish, swish.
The Taoist priest who had eliminated the steamed buns early began to clean the courtyard.
Although this Taoist temple is not very popular, many villagers still come to pray every week, so we can't neglect it.
There were not many fallen leaves in the courtyard, but the Taoist priests cleaned them very slowly. The owner of the hall, Taoist Master Xianxuan, once said that sweeping the floor is also cleaning the soul. It is also a kind of practice and should be taken seriously.
But there are less things to clean, so it can be easier, and the Taoist priest is still in a happy mood. He raised his head and looked at the lush, green wishing tree in the middle of the courtyard, and sighed sincerely:
"What a magical tree."
In this severe winter season, other trees of the same species have lost all their leaves, but this unique praying tree is still evergreen, becoming a wonder in Maverick Temple.
"Lina, look at you, you have confused the Taoist priest in my view. I have found that over the years, you have become less and less like a natural tree." Lin Yuan pointed at the Taoist priest, then pointed at Pointing to the praying tree, he said to Lina.
"Humph, they got confused too early. I also plan to bloom next winter!"
"Why isn't it natural? I am not an ordinary tree, I am a unique wishing tree. Of course the wishing tree must be different from other trees! Maybe one day I can pull out the roots and use You can still walk." Lina said proudly.
Not just blooming in winter, but also walking with roots? Why don't you go to heaven?
Lin Yuan imagined that scene in his mind. It was so beautiful that the Taoist priest he was looking at might have to pack up his things and run away overnight.
"It's better to forget about walking with roots. You don't want to be regarded as a monster, right?" Lin Yuan advised patiently.
"Well, Xiaolin, you are right, let's change it to something else." Lina thought for a while and gave up her idea.
Because Lina is a mental body, ordinary people cannot see it. Therefore, in the eyes of the Taoist priests, Taoist Master Xianxuan would often sit on the stone bench and mutter to himself in front of the wishing tree.
"Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and Tao follows nature. The temple master has reached the realm of nature and can communicate with the trees." The Taoist priest in the main hall looked at the edge of the forest outside the hall and said with reverence.
"We just went up the mountain to become Taoist priests to avoid the war. But the master of the temple is a truly pure person. If people can always be peaceful, everything in heaven and earth will return. We still need to continue to work hard to practice." Another Taoist priest said with emotion.
Chanting sutras, cleaning, performing rituals, and cultivating one's moral character, the peaceful days in Xiaoniu Guan passed like this.
Life outside the mountains is getting harder and harder. Fewer and fewer villagers come to pray, but more and more people come to seek shelter and refuge.
"Master, it's not good! King Annan's army is coming towards us!" A Taoist priest ran into the hall in a panic, shouting all the way.
King Annan? !
The Taoist priests who were sitting quietly in the main hall could no longer sit still and looked left and right, looking panicked.
Today's world is in chaos, with heroes vying for the throne. This King of Annan was a commoner, but he had the talents of a hero, and he was like a god in his military. He had a huge foundation in just a few decades, and he was one of the powerful contenders for the common master of the world.
Why did King Annan come to their small hill?
"Xiao Lin, run quickly! There are many people coming outside!" Lina said anxiously.
Lin Yuan shook his head, stood up from the futon, and said to the two Taoist priests next to him:
"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided. Ming De and Ming Xin, you two will come with me to welcome King Annan."
Everyone who was originally in panic regained some certainty when they saw the calm look of the viewer. Only one person had cold sweat streaming from his forehead and his face turned pale.
Outside Mavericks View, thousands of soldiers were walking slowly with a heroic man.
"Your Majesty, the Maverick Temple is in front of you." said an attendant.
"King Pingyang is hiding here? It's really funny."
King Annan sneered, raised his hand, and was about to let someone rush into the Taoist temple, when the door of the Taoist temple suddenly opened by itself.
A middle-aged Taoist priest walked out of the door with two Taoist priests.
"Xianxuan, a poor Taoist, is the master of this Taoist temple and has met King Annan." Lin Yuan bowed his hands in a salute, neither humble nor overbearing.
The huge formation did not affect his expression at all, but Mingde and Mingxin were stiff and looked very unnatural.
"You're welcome, Taoist Master Xianxuan." King Annan immediately returned the greeting with a respectful hand.
This shocked all the attendants, which was completely inconsistent with their impression of King Annan who was decisive and decisive. Shouldn't it be a direct kill?
King Annan was even more shocked than his attendants! Although the Taoist Xianxuan in front of him looks middle-aged, he can immediately restore the appearance of the Taoist when he was a teenager. He actually looks exactly the same as his mentor, Lord Bingjie Star!
There are too many ways to fake the same face in the starry sky, but it will never appear in this backward historical corridor.
This Taoist Xianxuan must have some connection with his mentor!
Thinking of this, King Annan's smile became warmer and warmer, and he began to chat with Lin Yuan, never mentioning the matter of capturing King Pingyang.
But for a mere Pingyang King, if he could have a good relationship with his mentor, that would be more important than anything else.
Such a sharp boy.
Lin Yuan boasted in his heart that he naturally recognized that King Annan in front of him was his student, and his goal was to become an emperor.
However, Lin Yuan did not intend to expose himself, but responded to King Annan's overtures as the master of Maverick Temple.
While chatting and laughing, the two of them walked from the outside to the inside of the temple, and then sat down in the main hall, looking like the host and guest enjoying themselves.
This surprised all the soldiers and Taoist priests who were secretly observing, and saw that things were developing into an unexpected situation.
"With a Taoist master like Taoist Master Xianxuan stationed there, this Maverick Temple will definitely prosper in the future! We are all ordinary people, so we won't disturb the Taoist priest for his spiritual cultivation."
In the courtyard, King Annan hung a wooden sign on the praying tree, carefully burned three sticks of incense, and then respectfully bid farewell to Lin Yuan.
"I also wish the prince's wish will come true." Lin Yuan said.
Hearing Lin Yuan's blessing, King Annan showed a happy expression on his face. He happily left some money, then glanced at a Taoist priest in the corner, and left with thousands of soldiers.
"Here, are you leaving now? Are we okay?"
"The murderous King Annan not only didn't do anything, but also worshiped our Maverick Temple?"
Many Taoist priests whispered in disbelief and looked at the temple master who was always calm and composed, with expressions of great reverence.
"Thank you so much for taking me in, Master! It's hard to repay this great kindness in this life!" Among the crowd, a Taoist priest suddenly walked out quickly, came to Lin Yuan, kowtowed and thanked him.
"A road is never far from a person, and a person has a long way to go. Get up, let go of your obsessions, and you will find that there is another way to live in life." Lin Yuan said gently.
The white fly whisk blew over King Pingyang's head, and he suddenly felt a sense of clarity in his heart, just like a room that had been collecting dust for many years was being cleaned, and many things that he had never noticed at ordinary times came to mind.
It turns out that he doesn't have everything now. This sky, this earth, and even this soil are so lovely.
Unknowingly, King Pingyang burst into tears and kowtowed to Lin Yuan several times before getting up and returning to the crowd.
After that, there was one less King Pingyang and one more bell ringer in Maverick Temple.
As the seasons change and the weather changes, he gets up early on time to ring the bell and recite scriptures carefully every day. He always had a smile on his face, whether he was treating the people who came to pray or the flowers and plants, and he gradually became known as the "Smiling Taoist Priest".
No matter how high the mountain is, if there are immortals, they will be spiritual.
Although Xiaoniu Mountain is a remote hill, it has become a famous holy mountain in Dazhou due to the existence of Xiaoniu Temple.
"The road is bright."
A plaque written by Annan, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom, is hung at the entrance of the Taoist temple, and everyone who comes to Xiaoniu Temple can see it at a glance.
With Annan's support, Maverick Temple has been renovated and expanded several times. Lin Yuan did not stop it, but let it take its course.
The current Xiaoniu Temple has more than 100 Taoist members and eight or nine houses. It is already a veritable Taoist temple.
"Xiao Lin, Annan passed away a few days ago. 100 years is really a long time!" Lina said sadly as she unconsciously swayed her calf on the prayer tree that covered most of the courtyard.
"That's enough. Annan lived here for 96 years and was emperor for 34 years. In ancient times, there were not many emperors who could live for such a long time." Lin Yuan, who had white hair and wrinkles on his face, said with relief. .
"Xiao Lin, will you leave me first?" Lina jumped down from the branch and approached Lin Yuan and asked.
"I will accompany you until the last moment." Lin Yuan looked into her green eyes and said with a smile.
Lin Yuan always had complicated feelings for Lina. She is a sister, a disciple, a naughty and weird elf... She can always guess what is hidden deep in his heart in just a few words.
Things always go the other way. The path I am walking on is so complicated, but Lina is so simple. Maybe that's why I met her.
Maybe it was because this body was old, Lin Yuan suddenly thought of a lot. He raised his head, and in the sky where no one could notice, a pair of giant silver-white eyes looked indifferently at all the changes in this side of time and space, as if they were eternal laws.
Lin Yuan shivered.
"Xiao Lin, do you have a cold? Pick some of my leaves and make tea. Now the leaves of the wishing tree can cure many diseases." Lina blinked and said with concern.
"Okay." Lin Yuan did not refuse. His current body was indeed not as good as before.
What's more, the prayer tree transformed by Lina is indeed very effective, and some people even call it a fairy tree.
The girl in front of him was more talented than he thought. He originally planned to let her have a deep understanding of nature. Unexpectedly, she directly transformed a new natural plant.
Of course, all this is still far behind him, and he has begun to explore the path above the Star Lord.
One night four years later, the wind was howling and the snow was falling. Even the strong young Taoist priest closed the doors and windows tightly and huddled in the house.
The next day, Taoist Smiling, who got up early to ring the bell, was the first to notice something was wrong.
The prayer tree covering the entire courtyard has lost its leaves, and a thick carpet has been laid in the courtyard.
The Taoist priests who came one after another also found it hard to believe that in their impression, the wishing tree was always evergreen and undefeated. Summer flowers bloom even in winter.
Is this a bad sign?
Suddenly, they saw a familiar figure in front of the praying tree.
"Guanzhu?!"
Everyone rushed into the courtyard, and then they discovered that Taoist Xianxuan had no breath.
"The temple master has gone."
For a moment, everyone felt like the sky was collapsing.
Taoist Xiaoxiao shed tears for the first time in many years. He walked to Taoist Xianxuan and kowtowed deeply, and then said to everyone:
"The praying tree must also be using this method to bid farewell to the temple owner. The temple owner has a kind face and must have been happy before the immortal left. Everyone, after Xiao Niu Guan's death, it's up to us!"
100 years have passed, and all students have left the historical corridor.
It was like watching a long movie, and the unforgettable memories of those times became calm. Life is like a dream.
"The special training is over, you all can go back and digest it."
Lin Yuan looked at the waking students expressionlessly and waved them away.
"Xiao Lin? How did you become like this?" Lina looked at Lin Yuan in front of her and felt very strange.
In his eyes, she couldn't even see herself.
"You should go back." Lin Yuan waved his hand, and a mysterious power enveloped Lina.
But she did not disappear. In her hand, a statue was gradually emerging. A silver-white power flowed out from it, firmly protecting her.
Lina's eyes lit up and she raised the Lin Yuan statue in her hand high.
The collision of similar but different forces completely overwhelmed everything.
By the time Lina saw her surroundings clearly, she had already returned to her dormitory.
Xiao Lin, how is he? In the end what happened?
Lina felt panicked as never before.
"Okay, it's okay now." Lin Yuan's voice sounded in her heart.
"Xiao Lin?" Lina said in her heart in surprise, and her heart calmed down.
The Xiao Lin she was familiar with was back again.
