Dongfang Shiming and Bai Hao responded to the order, and in an instant, the three figures disappeared. The misty corridor became peaceful again.
In the same instant, the three of them landed safely and arrived at the gate of the inner courtyard of Kaixiang Temple.
"Wow... this feeling is so amazing!" Bai Hao covered her face and said in surprise.
"...The master Luan Guan's practice seems to be different from the magic of magic." Dongfang Shiming nodded. The feeling just now was not like the fast-flowing wind felt by the divine movement technique, and it only took a blink of an eye to reach this place. It was really exquisite and magical.
Luan Fufeng laughed and said nothing. When the few people who were still waiting at the door saw this, they gathered around and asked for help.
"No need to be so attentive, you can go ahead." Luan Fufeng said to them, waving his hand gently.
Several people suddenly felt relaxed. They waved their hands to the master of the temple and said goodbye, while shouting and walking away: "This is not showing courtesy... this is caring."
After sending away several troubled disciples, Luan Fufeng turned sideways and made a "please" gesture, allowing the two of them to step into the stone arch and head towards the huge building inside.
In the large round courtyard, the pool and cypress trees are arranged randomly. And right in the center is a towering observation tower. On the top, a clear blue light shines like a bright moon, as if there is a huge luminous pearl.
"I have read what you wrote and the attached souvenir from Mr. Tan." Luan Fufeng said as he walked, "But since it is related to Kaixiang Temple, even without Mr. Tan's introduction, as the owner of the temple, I will not Will ignore it.”
"I heard that the master of the temple has been practicing in the Kaixiang Temple for a long time, and I feel ashamed for the junior to come and disturb me at this time." Dongfang Shiming echoed and said some kind words.
The three of them walked to the building and saw the words "Chongxiao Palace" painted in gold. Looking at the dazzling glory of the building, they felt even more solemn.
Opening the door, there are four hanging lanterns. In the center, there is a piece of Xiantian seal carving of Bagua. There is a Liuhui jade statue in front, and the origin and identity of the jade statue are inscribed below. On the left side lies a stone tablet, which is the history of Kaixiang Temple's rise and fall over hundreds of years.
Incense sticks hang from all directions, and curls of smoke hover on the beams. After seeing the scene in the main hall, Luan Fufeng led them to the side. With just a greeting, a Taoist priest appeared from behind a curtain. His face was expressionless, and he turned around to make tea for a few people.
"Does the temple master usually practice here?" Dongfang Shiming looked around and asked.
While Luan Fufeng was waiting for the tea, he took out a stack of papers. Hearing Dongfang Shiming ask this question, he smiled slightly: "This is just a place where Quan lives for a while after finishing his busy life recently. Chongxiao Hall is the center of Kaixiang Temple and is mainly used for official purposes."
"But, aren't you the master of the temple?" Bai Hao stood up and walked around, his eyes filled with curiosity, "Don't you have the final say on what to do here?"
Luan Fufeng shook his head and smiled: "Everything has its own reason. Even if I am the temple master now, I cannot violate it. I am not the first temple master of Kaixiang Temple. Chongxiao Temple is left by the predecessors of this temple. , how can I not respect him?"
"Oh...ah, I saw the stone tablet." Bai Hao walked to the stone tablet and started reading quietly.
Luan Fufeng turned his head, looked at Dongfang Shiming, and slowly spread the pieces of paper in his hand: "Dongfang Shiming...well, Mr. Dongfang. Maybe it can also be called fate. In fact, before you came, I also heard that Pass your name."
Dongfang Shiming was slightly startled. Immediately he suddenly realized: "Could it be from the lower world..."
"Luyan Temple is closely connected with Kaixiang Temple." Luan Fufeng took out a few letters and handed them to Dongfang Shiming, "Although I have been away from the world for a long time, you were also mentioned in the letter from Luyan Temple. You want to Don’t look at what they say about you?”
Dongfang Shiming took it with a smile, but did not open it, but pressed it on the table. He shook his head: "Haha, maybe it's better to forget it. It's all in the past..."
"Oh? Forget it if you don't read it. Huan Qingzi has many praises for you in the letter, and the content of the Golden Halberd Fengjian is really exquisite." Luan Fufeng fiddled with the other letters, "If you are embarrassed, I will For the sake of looking at it in front of you, I can send these to you and take a look at them when you go back."
"No, no need." Dongfang Shiming waved his hands repeatedly.
By chance, tea was also served. Luan Fufeng changed the topic and posted another picture.
As soon as Dongfang Shiming saw the mark on the picture, a cloud of hesitation appeared on his face.
"As smart as Mr. Dongfang, you should be able to figure out what this picture is at a glance." Luan Fufeng stared at his face for a while before saying.
Dongfang Shiming was dull for a while, then slowly raised his hand and pressed a point on the picture.
"This is... the map of the maze just now."
Luan Fufeng was not surprised when he heard the answer. He then also cast his sights on the place where Dongfang Shi Ming pressed: "It's the Fu Mi Xuan Dao Diagram. I was in Lushan before, but now I'm out of the way, I should be able to see it clearly, right?"
Dongfang Shiming nodded. He almost had an epiphany: "The shape of Fu Mi Xuan Dao is not a phoenix totem, but... Qingluan."
"Excellent." Luan Fufeng stroked his palms.
How could Dongfang Shiming not have an epiphany? His initial thinking was only a small distance away from the real solution. It was just a few minor omissions and misjudgments that led to me being trapped in it and unable to extricate myself.
"You can think of the six phoenix elephants in the Kaixiang Temple. This is your knowledge." Luan Fufeng also pressed his finger up, but he pressed it on the starting point and slowly swam on the map, "Know how to adapt when you go to a narrow place. , this is your wisdom.”
"Walking to a dead end, turning around to survive, this is your decision. Find another way, calm down and make a serious judgment, this is your strategy. However, you have tried many methods to no avail, and gradually become lost, this is your situation. Your thoughts are frightened and hesitant, and you even lose your way. This is your Achilles heel."
Luan Fufeng talked faster and faster, talking with ease. His fingers moved quickly on the map, and his eyes occasionally looked up at Dongfang Shiming's expression. When the words finally settled, his fingertips happened to overlap with Dongfang Shiming's.
What he just crossed was the path Dongfang Shiming took.
Dongfang Shiming gradually narrowed his eyes. The air in the hall seemed to be frozen, so silent that one could hear everyone's breathing.
Slowly raising his head, Dongfang Shiming sighed: "As expected of the temple master. I don't deny this. This is exactly the purpose of my request this time."
Luan Fufeng turned his face sideways, and the contours of his cheeks shone slightly: "Well... it's nothing. The difference between utensils and their uses is the essence of the South China Sutra. You guys, come with me."
…………
The returning wind brought snow, and snow flakes were flying on the ground. The snow gets deeper and the mountains get higher. Climbing up to the snowy desert from the northwest, you can see from a distance that the sky and the earth are ashes of lead.
The strong wind howled, Fu Yunge and Poinsettia flew for days and entered the outskirts of the snowy desert.
Going up from the deep forest, although you avoid the pain of the desert, you will eventually have to face the depth of the snowy desert. The steep road climbs straight up, and now there are no traces of the town, only the vast white land is really clean.
