"Master, you are back!" Zhang Tianyi returned to the mining camp and found that the wooden door of his residence was open. He hurriedly walked forward and saw a familiar figure sitting in the house. It turned out that he was going to attend the sect's golden elixir ceremony. The master is back, Zhang Tianyi greeted happily.
"We just arrived today!" Wang Ping nodded and smiled.
"Master, how lively is Elder Hao Yi's ceremony?" Zhang Tianyi asked enviously. He is still junior and is not qualified to return to the sect to participate in the ceremony.
It was a golden elixir ceremony that could only be seen in a century. It was very lively just thinking about it. It was a pity that I had no chance to participate in such a grand event. If I could return to the sect, I could also meet Master Xuan Yue.
"Each of Lingbing Palace and Wanyao Valley had a Golden Elixir elder come to attend. Most of the large and small families from all over Yunzhou brought gifts to congratulate them. Even Zhongzhou Tianhai Sect, Beidi Winter Water Alliance and other sects also sent people to the ceremony. On the day of the ceremony, Huang Rifeng was crowded with people and there was a lot of music and music, it was really lively." Wang Ping couldn't help but said slowly, thinking of the grand occasion of the Golden Elixir Ceremony.
"What a pity! Such a grand occasion was missed! By the way, did the master give the things that the disciples gave to Master Xuan Yue?" Zhang Tianyi sighed repeatedly at first, and then asked nervously.
"Junior Sister Xuan Yue accepted the volume of "Annotated Book of Talisman Sutra" you gave me. Junior Sister also asked me to give you a thank you. Here! This cloak is a return gift from Junior Sister." Wang Ping took out one. The large gold satin and silver thread Bagua cloak was handed to Tianyi, which was given by junior sister Xuan Yue.
He had seen this Bagua gold and silver brocade robe in his early years. It was sewn by his junior sister, stitch by stitch. At that time, he heard from his junior sister that she wanted to give it to the master as a gift after he returned from the Northland.
Now that the master is stationed abroad anonymously and it is inconvenient to contact them, he gave it to Tianyi first. Then the junior sister will sew a new one and give it to the master.
During this trip, Wang Ping returned to the sect. Firstly, he was going to attend the Golden Elixir Ceremony, and secondly, he wanted to ask about his master's whereabouts.
Because the last time the junior sister wrote to her, she said that the news about Master's death that was spread outside was false and should not be taken as true. It was not convenient to state the specific secret in the letter until he returned to the sect when he had time.
After returning to the sect this time, Wang Ping heard the truth from his junior sister. It turned out that when his master was stationed in the North, he unintentionally offended a major force in the North. In order to protect himself, he faked his death and escaped.
Now he has been sent to Gao Cangguo anonymously, and everything is fine. In a few years, when the limelight has passed, he will be able to show up to meet them.
"Does it fit? Does it look good?" Zhang Tianyi couldn't wait to put on this brocade robe and asked happily.
"Not bad!" Wang Ping couldn't help but smile. Tianyi and his master were of similar stature, and their bodies were majestic, so they would fit naturally.
Wearing this new and elegant Bagua Brocade Cloak, Tian Yi, who already has a tall and straight figure, looks even more extraordinary. It is no wonder that many families have taken a fancy to Tian Yi in recent years and have revealed marriage proposals.
The Zhang family often asked him to urge Tianyi to get married as soon as possible so that he could continue the bloodline of the Zhang family and spread its branches. However, Tianyi strongly opposed it every time, saying that he wanted to focus on cultivation.
It was natural to pursue the Tao wholeheartedly and put cultivation first, but gradually Wang Ping discovered that there might be a hidden secret in it.
He watched Tianyi grow up, but after his heart passed away, he kept him by his side. No one knew this child better than him.
This child has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child. Either because he is close in age or because he talks well, he has always been close to Junior Sister Xuan Yue. They have a very good relationship, and they are like brother and sister. This is still the case today.
From the various behaviors of this child after he grew up, Wang Ping had already seen some bad signs. For example, a few days before he returned to the mountain gate this time, the child took a leave of absence to go out to the mine, and spent a lot of spiritual stones to buy it from a nearby workshop. I bought a talisman book from the market with my experience in drawing talisman, and asked me to take it with me as a gift to Junior Sister Xuan Yue.
Obviously, this child is afraid that he has developed a romantic relationship with Junior Sister Xuan Yue. If any other female cultivator in the sect could put down his face and come to propose marriage with a gift.
But it was inconvenient for him to speak out about Junior Sister Xuan Yue's words, not because of the so-called generational ethics in the secular world. In the world of cultivation, there are many people from the same family who marry.
Just like the current master of Xuanzimai, "Xuanmu Zhenren", his Taoist partner is his former disciple "Xuanzhao Taoist" Zhou Lutong. It is said that it was his second disciple Zhang Yuanzhen who arranged the match, and Zhang Yuanzhen's wife "Hongxi Taoist" Zhou Yutong , and she is Zhou Lutong's cousin. Things like this are really common in the world of cultivation.
It's just that he really can't come forward in this matter. He can only look at Tianyi's own abilities. The best he can do is find an opportunity to mention the matter to the master and find out what the master's attitude is.
But this is another hidden worry in Wang Ping's mind, because Junior Sister Xuan Yue was brought up to the mountain by her master from the secular world. Junior Sister Xuan Yue respects her Master very much and even regarded her as her biological father when she was young.
Therefore, she relied heavily on her master, even after she grew up. She always stayed by his side. In Junior Sister Xuan Yue's heart, she was afraid that her relationship with her master would no longer be just a master and a disciple.
I hope I am overthinking it, otherwise this child from Tianyi will be just like me, doomed to be trapped by love, alas!
…
"Hmm! It smells good!"
“This meat is so tender!”
“Try this soup, it’s so sweet!”
The dining hall of the Wei Suo Ying was full of disciples of the sect, and their faces were all shiny with food.
Uncle Tai Xiong, the commander of the guard, returned from participating in the sect's golden elixir ceremony. Elder Hao Yi asked him to pick out more than twenty second-order spiritual beasts "Little Fragrant Deer" from a bunch of spiritual beasts that had not yet been slaughtered during the ceremony, and brought them back together. After arriving at the guard station, it was regarded as a reward to the disciples who stayed at the guard station.
The Bushan Hall held a whole deer banquet today. "Stir-fried deer slices", "steamed deer belly rice", "roasted deer legs", "mountain ginseng, black-bone chicken and fragrant deer soup" and other spiritual dishes were put on the table. How could the disciples eat this on a daily basis? This would not only let go of their stomachs, not to mention how satisfying they would be.
Also returning with Tuoba Yan were two foundation-building monks from the Huang family, one with the Taoist name "Qiu Bao", who had built the foundation of eight mansions, and the other with the Taoist name "Qiu Bing", who had built the foundation of five mansions. Liu Yu met this man several times, his name was Huang Tianyong, and they heard that they came here on orders.
"Xuan Ting, here's a toast to Uncle Master!" Liu Yu, wearing a cold iron mask on her face, stood up and raised her glass to toast Taoist Qiubao.
"Yes!" Taoist Qiubao nodded and drank.
…
"Xuan Ting, follow your uncle to the ghost forest." After drinking and eating, Tuoba Yan led the two Huang family monks and Liu Yu out of the guardhouse and flew towards the ghost forest. Waiting for arrival In Yaokeng Village in the forest, Ghost Xiu Fengyi and Qiuji were already waiting in the village.
"Third brother!" Ghost Xiu Qiuji floated forward and bowed.
"Seventh brother, long time no see, I'm still used to staying here!" Taoist Qiubao looked at his cousin "Qiuji" who was wearing a bamboo hat, wearing a black robe, and filled with yin energy. He couldn't help but feel sad. He turned into a ghost cultivator and was imprisoned in this forest by his sect. This was the first time the two met.
"I've gotten used to it a long time ago!" Taoist Qiuji sighed with emotion.
"Tianyong, I haven't met your seventh uncle yet!" Taoist Qiubao said quickly.
"Nephew Tianyong, meet Uncle Seventh!" Huang Tianyong hurriedly stepped forward and saluted. He couldn't believe it. Uncle Seventh, who had always been charming and suave in his impression, had now become such a ghost.
"It's Tianyong! How is Tianzhi lately?" Qiuji nodded and asked in a deep voice. The name of Tianzhi in his mouth was Huang Tianzhi. He was the son he gave birth to when his body was not destroyed. Now he has been built. Gay, but the father and son have had little contact.
"Uncle Qi, don't worry! Brother Tianzhi is stationed in Tianluan City. We met last time and everything is fine!" Huang Tianyong said with a smile.
"That's good!" Qiuji said bitterly.
"Senior Brother Feng Yi, this is Junior Brother Qiubao of the Huang family. Under the order of the sect, he came to hunt for the fake elixir of the blood corpse at the bottom of the mine."
"Junior Brother Qiubao, this is Senior Brother Feng Yi, the manager of Yaocun!" Tuoba Yan introduced.
"I've seen Senior Brother Feng Yi!" Taoist Qiubao came forward to pay homage, then pointed at Huang Tianyong beside him, and continued: "This is Quanzi!"
"Junior Huang Tianyong, pay homage to Master Feng Yi!" Huang Tianyong saluted respectfully.
"Well! Now that everyone is here, don't waste time and follow Pindao!" Taoist Feng Yi nodded, and without saying much, he took the lead and floated into the sinkhole nearby. Tuoba Yan and others immediately followed went up, passed through the sinkhole, and flew downward into the underground mine.
Liu Yu, who was following at the end, was confused. What did the few people talking about just now mean? There was actually a blood corpse in the pill condensation stage hidden under this underground mine?
The sect had known about this for a long time and had sent the Huang family father and son to hunt for the fake elixir of this bloody corpse. How come Master Tuoba had never mentioned this before?
