Mu Wanyan smiled playfully, and then said to Monk Guyuan: "Monk, then you cultivate your Buddhist path, and I cultivate my human path. We will not interfere with each other, and we will have nothing to do with each other from now on!"
Gu Yuan watched Mu Wanyuan leave with a red umbrella. The lotus lantern on the water suddenly began to rotate continuously, and ripples appeared on the water. A white demon spirit wrapped around the lotus lantern. He raised the purple prayer beads with one hand. , use your right hand and point two fingers at the lotus lantern.
He saw the lotus lantern sinking into the lake instantly, and the phantom of white snake scales appeared on the lake. He frowned and said: "That evil beast used to hide here! Now I'm afraid it has found a host that can parasitize, but this month There are so many people in Zen Town, whose body is it hidden in?"
Gu Yuan was worried. On the one hand, he was worried that he would not be able to find the trace of the white bones that turned into snakes. On the other hand, he was worried about the fact that he had now become a demon.
Mu Wanyan returned to the Holy Sword Pavilion. Dongfeng Ye was making red maple falling flames in the sword forging room, so she went to the sword forging room to find Dongfeng Ye.
The door of the stone chamber inside was closed, and the four elders of the Holy Sword Pavilion outside were inspecting the sword-making situation of the disciples.
When Zhu Leijiu saw that Mu Wanyan was coming, he said, "Miss Mu, are you looking for the Pavilion Master?"
Mu Wanyan nodded, listening to the clanking sound in the stone chamber, and then said: "Is the Pavilion Master... inside?"
Zhu Leijiu nodded: "Yes, the master of the pavilion doesn't like to be disturbed when he is forging swords. By the way, Miss Mu, the master of the pavilion specially ordered a new sword-making room to be built for you. If you want to make a sword, you can do it at any time. Okay, how about I take you to visit!"
Mu Wanyan nodded, followed Zhu Leijiu through the crowd, and walked to a stone room in the innermost place. There were all the things needed for making swords. Not only that, there were also piles of many rare black iron and crystal stones...
Zhu Leijiu said: "I wonder if Miss Mu is still satisfied? If you need anything, please tell us at any time and we will find it for you!"
Mu Wanyan said: "No need!"
Zhu Leijiu's expression changed, thinking that she was dissatisfied, and hurriedly said: "Miss Mu, is there something we were not well prepared for? You will become the mistress of our Holy Sword Pavilion in the future. If you have any orders, feel free to speak out. , the Pavilion Master has ordered that your words are the same as his!"
Mu Wanyan knew that Dongfengye valued her very much, but unlike mortals, she used demon spirits when forging swords, so she could not forge swords in front of outsiders, lest she reveal her identity as a demon.
She smiled and said: "The Great Elder misunderstood. In fact, I think that as a woman, after getting married, it is better to take care of her husband and raise her children."
Zhu Leijiu was very happy after hearing this. He originally thought that Mu Wanyan was unruly by nature, and when she became the wife of the Pavilion Master in the future, she would be wild and untamed, and he was very worried about the Pavilion Master's family status.
Now it seems that Mu Wanyan is like an ordinary woman, willing to be a gentle and virtuous woman for her husband. In the future, she is willing to assist Dongfeng Ye to support her husband and raise her children. It is really the best thing. I think the Pavilion Master is indeed right about the person. !
Zhu Lei nodded nine times and said: "Hahaha! Yes! Yes! What Miss Mu said, everything depends on what Miss Mu likes. In fact, Miss Mu's identity as the master of Jimo Flower is enough to add luster to the Holy Sword Pavilion. As for whether Miss Mu will cast it in the future The sword has nothing to do with it anymore!”
When Mu Wanyan heard Zhu Leijiu's words at this moment, she felt quite unhappy. Did Dongfengye marry her just because of her status as the owner of the Mo Flower? He had no intention of staying in the sword-making room any longer, so he prepared to go back to the house.
She said: "Great Elder, then I won't disturb you for making swords. I'll go back first!"
Zhu Leijiu didn't realize there was anything wrong with what he said. From his perspective as a man, he really didn't think there was anything wrong with his cognition. He thought it had always been this way and it was natural.
He nodded and said: "Then I will escort you out, Miss Mu!"
Mu Wanyan nodded, and when she passed the stone room where Dongfengye forged swords again, she suddenly stopped, looked back at the stone room, and asked, "What weapons is the master forging now?"
Zhu Leijiu said: "The red maple falls into flames."
"The red maple falls into flames!"
Zhu Leijiu nodded: "Yes, this is the sword made by the master of the pavilion for Master Qin's master!"
"Master Qin? Are you talking about Qin Bai?" Mu Wanyan looked at Zhu Lei Jiu.
Zhu Leijiu smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Exactly! The Pavilion Master said that this sword needs to experience the wind and rain all year round, be burned by the fire of the Flame Turtle, and finally be tempered thousands of times. It is a noble sword, named Hong Feng Luoyan. One year later, when you two get married, Mr. Qin can come and retrieve this sword!"
Mu Wanyan frowned, and then said: "Noble Sword? Who is the master of Qin Bai?"
Zhu Leijiu smiled slightly and said: "His master's identity is not simple, but since he wants to hide his identity, it is difficult for Shengjian Pavilion to reveal his master's identity. When the time comes, when Mr. Qin comes, Miss Mu will ask him again Bar!"
Mu Wanyan frowned slightly. Zhu Leijiu said that they were a family, but in the end he still regarded her as an outsider in his heart. However, she did not want to get into any more entanglements on this matter, so she nodded and left.
On the way back, she was full of dissatisfaction, but when she opened the door, she was shocked by the scene inside.
There are no lights in the room, but it is covered with dots of luminous stones. There is a large bouquet of flowers on the coffee table in front of the window. There is also a bamboo basket woven with green leaves on the round table. When you open the bamboo basket, there are pink crystals inside. The pastries are all made into peach blossom shapes, with a few osmanthus flowers sprinkled on top.
She smiled slightly, thinking that although Dongfeng Ye was a grown man, he was quite thoughtful.
So she picked up a piece, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully. The taste was fragrant but not greasy. It was indeed her favorite taste. She smiled slightly, and the unhappiness just now was gone.
Perhaps because of Dongfeng Ye's careful care on weekdays, Mu Wanyan became more and more dependent on him, and she seemed to slowly start to like this man.
She even began to think about settling down temporarily, but the more she did, the more worried she became. After all, she was a demon, and Dongfeng Ye was a human, and they were still different.
One year has passed in a blink of an eye, and the wedding of the two is getting closer and closer, and the red maple falling flame has also entered the final stage of tempering after a year of wind and rain.
The four elders were also happy for the upcoming wedding banquet of the pavilion master. They ordered their servants to buy the things needed for the wedding banquet early. The entire Shengjian Pavilion seemed to be enveloped in a festive and peaceful atmosphere.
But as the wedding day approached, something happened.
The second elder Yun Zhifeng and the third elder Hang Wenyan were outside once and found Mu Wanyan riding a white horse into the mountain alone. They felt strange and followed her all the way. Unexpectedly, she went to Yue Chan Temple.
Yun Zhifeng frowned and said, "This Yue Chan Temple has been abandoned for nearly a hundred years. Why is this girl Mu going to Yue Chan Temple?"
Hang Wenyan said: "I have always thought that this girl Mu is a bit weird. Second brother, why don't we follow her and have a look."
The two climbed over the wall and entered Yuezhan Temple, but heard the sound of wooden fish coming from inside.
Yun Zhifeng was puzzled and asked Hang Wenyan: "Lao San, hasn't Yue Chan Temple been abandoned for many years? How come there is the sound of monks knocking wooden fish?"
Hang Wenyan said: "I heard that a monk named Gu Yuan lived in this ruined temple a year ago. I didn't expect the rumors to be true!"
Yun Zhifeng frowned and said, "Miss Mu came here a year ago. Third child, do you think there is something fishy about this matter?"
The two secretly sneaked into Yuechan Temple and saw Mu Wanyan and Gu Yuan inside.
"Monk, I will get married in seven days!"
Gu Yuan was beating the wooden fish with his back to Mu Wanyan. When he heard her voice, he stopped beating the wooden fish and looked up at the golden statue of Buddha. Half of the statue's face had been chopped off diagonally. Only the other half of his face showed a terrifying gloominess, and his slightly lowered eyes had a depressing aura.
Gu Yuan stood up, turned around, lowered his head to salute, and said to Mu Wanyan with his hands clasped together: "Amitabha, congratulations to Miss Mu! It seems that you have found the person you like!"
Mu Wanyan smiled slightly, and then said: "Haha! Actually, after thinking about it, I don't have many friends in Yuechan Town. You and I are also considered the same kind of people. Only you know my affairs best, so I can't help but want to tell you. This is your news!"
Gu Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Now that you have decided, you must hide your identity for a lifetime. After all, it is not easy to deceive someone for a lifetime."
Mu Wanyan said: "Dongfengye is a good person, worthy of my life. Don't worry, I will hide my identity and won't let him find out!"
At this time, Hang Wenyan, who was lying outside and eavesdropping, accidentally dropped a stone from the tile, causing a slight noise outside.
Yun Zhifeng on the side saw that the situation was not good, grabbed his arm and took him away from Yuechan Temple.
Mu Wanyan noticed that there seemed to be a noise outside, and rushed out to check, but she saw no one. She only saw a gray squirrel crawling on the pine tree near the courtyard wall. When she saw her coming out, she was so scared that she turned around and ran away.
Mu Wanyan thought that maybe it was the squirrel that made the noise, and she was making a fuss.
She entered the temple again, and Monk Guyuan asked, "Is there anyone outside?"
Mu Wanyan shook her head and said: "No, maybe it was the noise made by the squirrel. By the way, have you found the white snake that turned into bones that you have been looking for for so long?"
Monk Gu Yuan shook his head: "No, the Bone-Transforming White Snake is very powerful and can hide its demonic aura so that it is difficult to detect it. However, I finally found the demonic aura it left behind in the lake, but it never appeared again." Found traces of it."
Mu Wanyan said: "I think it has escaped from Yuechan Town a long time ago. Who would wait for you to collect it?"
Gu Yuan chuckled, and then said: "As a demon, don't you understand the nature of the demon very well? The nature of the demon is to retaliate! This white snake that turns into bones has been fighting with our Yue Chan Temple for many years. I know it best. It He is a very vengeful evil beast, but he is also a very patient guy. The demon has a very long lifespan, and it can even lean on a certain town citizen, and then wait until he is a hundred years old before coming out to harm others, so it is impossible to prevent him!"
