The person is a middle-aged man.
He is not ugly, but rather looks like a Confucian scholar.
He hugged Chen Luo, his face full of emotion and happiness.
I probably never expected that I would see a long-lost old friend in this place.
Chen Luo was a little dazed,
After the man let go of himself, he asked: "Who is your Excellency?"
It's probably because people are getting old.
After all, he is nearly three hundred years old.
Those long-lost people in my memory began to become strangers after all.
I looked at this man for a long time and still couldn't recognize him.
It's rude to act on your own terms.
The middle-aged man was also stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
There was a joking expression on his face: "What? I haven't asked about swords for a hundred years. Has my father-in-law forgotten Mr. Lu's sword? Why don't you find some time to continue asking about swords?"
Your surname is Lu?
Chen Luo remembered that he didn't seem to have any old friends named Lu that he knew in his life.
etc!
A face gradually became clear in Chen Luo's mind.
It gradually began to overlap with the face in front of him.
"Lu Xuan!"
Chen Luo said.
The middle-aged man laughed and patted Chen Luo's shoulder hard: "Yes, how is it? How do you feel about meeting an old friend?"
"I have no feelings, I don't even want to see you."
Chen Luo stretched out his hand and lightly scanned the shoulder that had just been patted three times and said calmly.
Lu Xuan was not angry, but laughed loudly: "Isn't it just that I pestered you to ask about the sword... Is it necessary to be like this? He left without saying goodbye that day. This is not the way of a gentleman!"
"We are eunuchs, never gentlemen."
Lu Xuan:......
For a while, it was really impossible to talk about this day.
Chen Luo became a little happy when he saw this guy like this.
The little kid who was just a few years old in the past has finally become a middle-aged man. The change before and after was so great that it was normal for him not to recognize it.
Looking back on those days, Chen Luo still felt a little emotional.
At that time, I was troubled and had a bit of a headache.
On the contrary...
"Didn't you say that you would never descend to Longhu Mountain unless you were number one in the world? You descended from Longhu Mountain today. Does that mean you are confident that you will become number one in the world?"
This group of people in the past said so.
If you don't want to be number one in the world, you can't go down to Longhu Mountain.
Now go down the mountain.
Doesn't he think he is the best in the world?
If this is the case, then being number one in the world is somewhat worthless.
Lu Xuan, who was originally in a good mood, turned dark when he heard this.
"When did I say that?"
"Our family has heard about it!"
"Stop talking, or I'll get angry!"
"Why?"
"It's all caused by those evil obstacles!"
"Sure?"
"Number one in the world? Am I a fool? Would I say something like this?"
"Young man, it's possible to be young and energetic. Have you ever heard someone in our family say that they want to become the first Sword Immortal?"
"Oh? Who is so shameless? How is he now?"
"Died, reincarnated, and then died again..."
"Rubbish!"
Listening to Lu Xuan's explanation, Chen Luo couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough...the words would change as they were passed around, and if he wanted to explain, he wouldn't be able to wash it off even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
In the past, Chen Luo was so upset by Lu Xuan that he finally ran away from Pengxianfang in advance.
Lu Xuan finally gritted his teeth and returned to Longhu Mountain, and ordered that no one should disturb him. He would retreat to the Nascent Soul realm and become the best Nascent Soul in the world.
When Huangfu Sheng conveyed it, it was quite simple. He just said that the young master uncle wanted to become the best Nascent Soul in the world.
But when the disciples below came out again, the word Yuan Ying disappeared.
Only the best in the world.
Later, there were more and more rumors on Longhu Mountain, but the only one that was accepted by the world was: the young master is in seclusion, and he will never come down the mountain until he becomes the best in the world!
And this was also the final version that Chen Luo heard.
These days, when Lu Xuan heard this when he came out of seclusion, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
After explaining for a long time, I finally didn’t want to explain at all.
Chen Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
If you spread rumors, you will lose your legs if you refute them.
I don’t know whether Longhushan cheated my father or not, but it was true that he cheated my junior uncle.
Take a look at this guy's luck.
Chen Luo's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.
This guy……
The number one Nascent Soul in the world is that he didn’t run away.
Longhu Mountain has been very low-key these years. I remember that Zhao Kai is now also a powerful Nascent Soul...
really.
The prosperous age of cultivating immortals is gradually coming.
As for Lu Xuan appearing here, it is just a coincidence...
He said that he wanted to attend the temple fair after hearing about it.
exactly,
I also met Chen Luo.
This is probably fate...
Big crowd.
I finally wanted to go to Nanyang Mountain to see the temple fair today, but I met an old friend I hadn’t seen for a hundred years...
Since we are destined, let’s go together.
It takes a while to go to Nanyang Mountain after leaving Kyoto.
It is also necessary to walk for an hour or two.
Chen Luo was not in a hurry.
Slowly.
There are always some different scenery on the road.
In addition, because of the temple fair, there were many people on the road.
Someone was riding in a carriage.
There are also people who go there on foot just like me and others.
It's just that these people are much more pious than themselves, holding baskets in their hands containing various sacrifices and candles.
Fellow Taoist Bailong rarely sees such a scene.
I just felt that everything was novel. When I arrived at the foot of Nanyang Mountain... I don’t know when rows of small stalls started to be set up on both sides of the road going up the mountain.
The stalls sell all kinds of novelty items.
There are bamboo dragonflies, exquisite combs made of peach wood, hairpins, and various small jewelry.
There are also many delicious snacks.
Pancakes, pastries, candied haws, stinky tofu and so on.
Some even set up tea stalls directly next to them.
Shouting.
shouted.
Full of excitement.
The Temple Fair on September 9th Climbing Festival in Nanyang Mountain is definitely the most grand festival in Kyoto.
Some ladies who rarely show up in public will also walk out of their homes today.
Some came wearing veils or looking generous.
Therefore, today there are not only more old scholars and children, but also more scholars...
Fellow Taoist Bailong is in a very good mood.
During those unknown years in Jiangu, when had you ever seen such a scene?
The smile on my face has never disappeared since I boarded Nanyang Road.
I held these things in my hands and played with them for a while.
I'll go get the food soon.
She doesn't understand either.
When you see it, you want it. If you want to eat it, you take it and eat it.
Chen Luo had no choice but to follow him and pay her.
When he saw Chen Luo giving copper coins and silver to the street vendor, Bai Long was a little puzzled: "What is that?"
"money."
"What is this for?"
"When you buy something, you need this."
"What's the meaning?"
"What you take from others is what you need to give to others. You can understand it this way. This money is a universal item..."
Fellow Taoist Bailong nodded.
He took out a piece of silver.
Not big, not small.
Ten or two is enough.
"Is this money?"
"yes!"
He took out another piece of gold.
"This too?"
"yes!"
"I understand!"
So I turned around and bought a portion of bean curd.
He took out a piece of gold and threw it to the vendor. The vendor couldn't hold it firmly and almost fell to the ground.
One mouth opened a little too wide.
This scene also attracted the attention of many people.
One by one, they took a breath of air.
Is this gold?
This piece of gold must weigh about ten kilograms, right?
Which girl is so scary?
Chen Luo was also a little scared.
A wave of empty hand.
That gold disappears.
Instead, there were a few copper coins.
Pulling fellow Taoist Bailong along, he accelerated a few steps and disappeared into the sea of people in the blink of an eye.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing is right."
"You said you needed money, and I gave it to you..."
"Too much is given."
Chen Luo patiently explained to her what money was, the definition of money, the value between money and items, and some things to pay attention to when buying things.
Bailong was thoughtful.
After she bought a bracelet with a few pieces of silver, Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought that he would be his father's worry all his life.
Xiaobai didn't understand, so he slowly taught him...
Cat Lady didn’t understand some things, so she taught them herself.
The same goes for current fellow Taoist Bailong.
I need to be patient and teach her how to behave in the world.
Worry about hard work...
tired!
Looking at Bai Long who was curious about everything but didn't understand anything, Lu Xuan finally couldn't help but ask: "What is that woman's background? Why can't I see through her?"
Lu Xuan actually wanted to ask from the beginning.
He is not an ancient person, but an ancient monk...
As an ancient monk, Lu Xuan has many magical powers and knows a lot.
If she were an ordinary person, he would be able to tell what kind of heel she was at a glance.
But how could he not see it in fellow Taoist Bailong.
It was hard for him to ask, after all, it was a bit bad to ask, but in the end he couldn't help it.
This woman whetted his appetite.
"you guess."
Chen Luo replied.
Lu Xuan:? ? ?
"Chen Luo, you've gone too far!"
Lu Xuan said again: "Can't you say?"
"can not say."
Lu Xuan:…………
He didn't ask anymore.
But he still muttered: "If you can't say it, you can't say it. Isn't it just a monster? I really thought I couldn't tell."
pity……
He just knew it was a demon.
He didn't know the rest.
Maybe, find a chance to ask her a question of swordsmanship?
Lu Xuan immediately became happy when he thought of this.
If you ask about swords, can you tell me everything?
very good!
I am really smart.
…
The Nanyang Mountain trail went all the way up. About half an hour later, Chen Luo, Lu Xuan and Bai Long arrived at the top of the mountain.
In Chen Luo's memory, there were no temples or anything like that on the top of the mountain.
There used to be a tower.
Kyoto people call it Nanyang Tower.
But now there are more temples here.
There was a huge flow of people.
Rubbing shoulders and elbows.
This is even more lively than on Nanyang Road.
There are not only those selling small things, but also some people who are performing arts.
There are fire-breathing ones.
There are jugglers.
There are also sword dancers.
Even more so, they are performing the art of climbing into the clouds and the art of transporting five ghosts.
Chen Luo looked a little happy.
This temple fair is really interesting...
It’s not in vain that I went down the mountain a little early today.
Lu Xuan also sighed with emotion: "Buddhist temple fairs do have something, but our Taoist sect does not have this ability. Even if we founded a mountain to recruit disciples in the past, and even if there are Taoist temples in the Great Zhou Dynasty, compared with Buddhism, they are not as good as many ”
Chen Luo nodded.
In the past, when the Great Zhou Dynasty destroyed Buddhism, Taoism naturally prospered.
But since this restriction was removed, Buddhism has never been more prosperous than before.
When it comes to incense, Buddhism is the big one.
Taoism and so on are far inferior.
"But each has its own advantages. Buddhism emphasizes weight rather than quality. The incense is indeed abundant, but it is also mixed. Although Taoism is not as good as Taoism, the quality of the incense is much purer. There are advantages and disadvantages... The whole method is unparalleled in the world."
Lu Xuan nodded.
This is true.
Taoism emphasizes fate, and it is believed that only those who have a fate can enter the Taoist gate... Even if there are many rooms in the Taoist temple to live in, if there is no fate, there is no chance to stay temporarily. The land behind the mountain is full of farmland and vegetables, so you must first provide for yourself Self-sufficiency, the most pursuit of Taoism and nature!
Buddhism places great emphasis on incense. Believing in three pillars of fragrance can lead to Buddhahood. This is why this place of Buddhism hands over some incense and sees the hall full of golden Buddha statues. If you rely on yourself, how can you do it? Therefore, in this place where Buddhism opens up, what we seek most is a 'fate'!
"Go into that temple and have a look?"
Lu Xuan asked.
Although he is an ancient monk, such temple fairs are rare.
In ancient times, when we were only focused on cultivation, how could we have time to see such mundane things?
In ancient times, on the road of reincarnation, there were many reincarnations. Except for the memory of this life, the rest were completely forgotten.
How can I still have memories?
"You should go and have a look."
Chen Luo nodded.
Going up the mountain is always incomplete without visiting this temple...
Look back.
But he was stunned for a moment.
Fellow Taoist Bailong beside me has disappeared.
"wait a minutes."
He was talking to Lu Xuan.
After feeling the aura of Fellow Taoist Bailong, I squeezed through the crowd and saw Fellow Taoist Bailong squatting in front of a stall, looking at the things in front of me.
"Fellow Taoist Bailong?"
Chen Luo shouted.
Bai Long looked up at Chen Luo.
Pointing to the thing in front of him: "This is very interesting..."
"It's really interesting."
Chen Luo nodded.
That's a dog...
There are black, white and yellow...
All three colors are available.
This little one is a little cute...
"I want to buy it."
Fellow Taoist Bailong said.
When the boss heard this, his face was already full of smiles: "Sir, these puppies are all raised by my own family. They are definitely good puppies for home care. It is also good to buy one and take it back to look after the house." OK."
Chen Luo nodded.
Looking at Bailong: "Which one do you want?"
Bailong squatted on the ground and watched for a long time.
I really couldn't make a decision at the moment.
There are so many and you just want to choose one, how easy is it?
Just at this time.
A black puppy licked Bailong's hand.
Thus, the gears of fate were decided.
"I want it!"
Bailong hugged the little black dog and said to Chen Luo.
"That's it."
"Boss, how much is it?"
"Fifty cents..."
Fifty cents is a fair price.
no more, no less.
Just right.
"Are you going to the temple with us, or are you going to play around by yourself?"
Chen Luo asked Bai Long.
Bai Long thought for a while and decided to go into the temple with Chen Luo to have a look.
Chen Luo didn't say anything more, so he led her to look for Lu Xuan.
Seeing Bai Long coming back with a dog soon, Lu Xuan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth: "What do you think?"
Lu Xuan knew a lot about Chen Luo.
When I came out of seclusion, I made some inquiries. At first I wanted to know if Chen Luo was dead.
As a result of this inquiry, there is still a lot of news about him.
Taking on a disciple is a demon.
Taking on a disciple is a ghost.
There is also a fox who is also a demon.
It seems that there is a master in the academy who is also a demon.
Except for the eldest disciple Ning Shuan, who is a human being, they are all monsters.
Today.
Just forget it if you have a demon by your side.
Here comes another dog.
Now this dog has not yet developed spiritual wisdom, but by following a monk, opening spiritual wisdom is not as simple as drinking boiled water?
Then there will be another demon.
What is he trying to do?
"She wanted it, so she bought it."
"That's it?"
"In other words, our family is destined to it..."
Lu Xuan didn't want to talk anymore.
The world is vast, and fate is the greatest.
Bai Long glanced at Lu Xuan and said nothing, but Lu Xuan felt a little uncomfortable all over.
Fortunately, I had already arrived in front of the temple at this time, so I didn’t think much about it.
Chen Luo looked up and looked at the temple...it was interesting.
The name of the temple is Tianlong Temple.
In the past, it was the largest Buddhist holy place in Kyoto, but later it was in the wrong place, and it eventually triggered a movement to exterminate Buddhism that spread across the country.
Hundreds of years have passed.
Tenryu Temple finally stood on the land of Kyoto, the Great Zhou Dynasty.
And even stronger.
Of course, this is not the first time I have heard of Chen Luo from Tianlong Temple.
Tianlong Temple has a place in the Buddhist orthodoxy of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It’s just that I have always been suppressed by Bodhidharma Temple, so I don’t listen much...
Now I didn't expect that their shadows would also appear on Nanyang Mountain.
There are more people in the temple,
Burn incense and pray.
Kneel down after you have bowed to him.
After he finished the meal, someone else lit incense.
The huge hall is full of pilgrims.
The entire altar was filled with six sacrificial offerings, tea and cakes...
There are ordinary people.
There are dignitaries.
Occasionally, Chen Luo saw a person who was full of luck.
Although he is wearing casual clothes...but his luck is not weak, he is at least a third-rank official of the imperial court.
Followed by a woman,
The woman is beautiful and veiled.
There is a lot of movement when walking, but there is also some posture.
Lu Xuan frowned.
The hand showed sword fingers.
"In the land of Buddhism, Taoist Lu, are you trying to overtake me?"
Chen Luo asked with a smile.
Lu Xuan thought and put down his hand: "It is indeed my fault!"
From beginning to end, Bailong didn't even look at it. She hugged the little black dog and played with it affectionately, but she was not in the mood to pay attention to it.
It seemed like he noticed the gazes of Chen Luo and others.
The middle-aged man looked over.
He happened to catch Chen Luo's gaze.
He nodded slightly.
Chen Luo also returned the gift...
The woman didn't look here, she looked around, and occasionally said something next to the man.
The man nodded slightly.
That's a response.
A novice monk went over and talked to the middle-aged man, who then took the woman away.
Chen Luo and Lu Xuan ignored this and continued to wander around the temple.
The Buddha's voice is faint.
Sandalwood curls.
The environment inside Tianlong Temple is quite good.
Walking here, I also have different perceptions.
[You wandered around the land of Buddhism, and you vaguely gained some good insights. The path to immortality was improved, and your experience value was +100!
PS: The land of Buddhism does have a different feeling, which is good to think about.]
Just a pity.
But there is no way to enter the back of this temple.
It is said to be the place where the novice monks are located in the courtyard.
Do not enter non.
Chen Luo has always been obedient and unwilling to cause trouble.
I was just attending a temple fair, so there was no need to break other people's rules.
There is not much difference between entering and not entering.
Just in time.
A novice came to invite me.
"No fight, father-in-law, Taoist Lu, and this female Taoist. My abbot has invited you, so please come to the backyard..."
Chen Luo and Lu Xuan looked at each other.
Feelings themselves have been recognized.
