"So, what he just said is true?"
Seeing the two Taoist boys walking inside while apologizing to everyone, Zhang Qingyuan's mind was at a loss.
Li Qiuran also had the same expression. The two looked at each other and ate in silence.
After Zhang Qingyuan took two mouthfuls of rice, he still couldn't bear the doubts in his heart and looked at the Chunyang disciple aside.
He came close to him and asked with a smile: "I have met a Taoist friend. I am Zhang Qingyuan. He is a Taoist who has just come to place orders. What do you call him?"
The Chunyang disciple was stunned, and suddenly said in surprise: "Are you Zhang Qingyuan?"
When he exclaimed, the other brothers at the table also looked sideways, full of curiosity about him.
"It's me." Zhang Qingyuan nodded.
Chunyang disciple asked again: "Is this the true martial arts master from Yamashita Masamune?"
"If nothing else, the one who should be talking about it is me."
"Oh, it turns out that it's Senior Brother Qingyuan who is in front of me. His name is Li Xuanzhen. He is a close disciple of the leader and is a dual practitioner of both martial arts and Taoism."
Taoist Master Chunyang instantly became excited and looked like he was star-struck, "Senior Brother Qingyuan, you don't know that we like you, especially after we heard that you went to Kaifeng to provide disaster relief and defeated the ambitious Longmen and Tianli Sect, we all regarded you as a example."
Li Xuanzhen's eyes were shining with stars, and Zhang Qingyuan's confidence soared.
Just now I thought Chunyang Palace was full of arrogant people, but it turns out that I am still very influential in the hearts of young disciples.
"Senior Brother Qingyuan, my name is Li Xuanye."
"My name is Li Xuanming."
…
Everyone waved their hands and surrounded Zhang Qingyuan.
"You must be Senior Brother Qiu Ran."
"Yeah." Li Qiuran was still not used to this kind of enthusiasm, so he just responded softly.
"We have long heard that the two senior brothers are a pair of gods and immortals, who specialize in punishing evil and promoting good in the world, eliminating violence and bringing peace to the good." Li Xuanzhen said with a smile: "Actually, I also want to go down the mountain, but I haven't mastered my martial arts yet, so Master won’t let me go down.”
"Senior Brother Qingyuan, don't listen to Senior Brother Xuanzhen's nonsense. Uncle Fifth Master said that his martial arts talent is the best in Chunyang Palace in the past three hundred years, and his martial arts is even more powerful than the master!" A young disciple said at the side.
"oh?"
Is he the most talented player in three hundred years? Zhang Qingyuan is also interested.
Needless to say, he is better than the master. The martial arts level of Chunyang Palace in Jiuhua Mountain is almost out of the martial arts world. How strong can the master be?
It's just that this person with the highest talent in the past three hundred years is really eye-catching.
Li Xuanzhen was a little shy and scratched his head.
"Definitely not as good as Senior Brother Qingyuan."
"No, no, no, I understand. It's for your own good that the master doesn't let you go down the mountain. Maybe you will become the next Chunyang Patriarch in a few years."
Li Xuanzhen waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't dare, you are the pioneer of the era."
The two of them were complimenting each other, but this Li Xuanzhen was indeed a bit cute.
When he came down from Taiyin Palace before, Taoist Priest Mingyue wrote a letter of recommendation to himself, fearing that Chunyang Palace would not welcome him. But now, at first glance, Chunyang Palace is very approachable.
In fact, he forgot that Taoist Priest Mingyue wrote that letter because his reputation in the world at that time had not reached such a high level. It could be said that everyone wanted to beat him.
At that time, he was a suspect in the annihilation of the family, and now he is a real martial artist. Of course, it cannot be generalized.
Soon Zhang Qingyuan mingled with everyone, talking and laughing.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Qingyuan stepped into the topic and asked: "By the way, the old Taoist priest just now is... I just heard that the Taoist priest's head seems to be..."
"Oh, it turns out that Senior Brother Qingyuan is talking about my great uncle." Li Xuanzhen sighed and explained: "My great uncle is the oldest Taoist priest in our Chunyang Palace today, he is already one hundred and two years old.
The old man's mental state is not very good and he has been stimulated in the past. "
"Can you tell me what the stimulation is?" Zhang Qingyuan asked curiously.
"What's the inconvenience?"
Li Xuanzhen said: "You heard it just now, my uncle is always called Xiao He, and he is his disciple.
When Master Shuzu was young, he went down the mountain to practice Taoism and took on an apprentice. Moreover, he only had one apprentice in his life, named He Yinjun. He was extremely talented in martial arts. He became a master at the age of twenty-seven and began to work in the mountains. At that time, he was already quite famous in the world.
At that time, the entire Chunyang Palace said that Master He would definitely become the master in the future and lead our Jiuhua Mountain Chunyang Palace to glory in martial arts again.
Unfortunately, over the next twenty years, Master He's martial arts progressed slowly and never reached its peak. "
After saying this, everyone's eyes flashed with nostalgia.
Even a shadow appeared in Zhang Qingyuan's mind.
"But I never thought that more than 20 years ago, the demon king slaughtered the world. Master He wanted to go down the mountain to eliminate the demon. However, the demon king was very powerful in martial arts. Master He unfortunately made a poisonous hand. It was also from that time that my uncle couldn't stand the stimulation. ,crazy."
"Oh I got it."
Zhang Qingyuan also knew what happened next. The Demon Lord was so crazy that he killed many people in the righteous martial arts world. In the end, Taoist Master Mingyue rode a crane down the mountain. The two had a bet and fought, and the Demon Lord escaped.
"Alas, God's will plays tricks on people, and nature is unpredictable."
"Yes, my great uncle himself has no talent in martial arts. He is most fond of medicine, divination, and meditation.
He has excellent medical skills and is also good at divination. When he was sixty years old, he also wrote a medical book called "Baicao Zaowu Jing", which cured many difficult and complicated diseases.
Xiao Liuren's hand was so accurate that even the prince asked him for divination. "
The two disciples added one after another.
"It's a pity that the man with the least martial arts talent accepted a disciple with the highest martial arts talent. He pinned all his hopes on Master He. His biggest dream is to see Master He sit on the throne. Assuming the position of leader, let our Jiuhua Mountain Chunyang Taoist Sect regain its glory."
Everyone's eyes were full of regret, and the shattering of hope was as terrible as a bolt from the blue.
Li Xuanzhen said sadly: "My master said that on the day of Master He's death, our Chunyang Palace had not received any news.
But they all saw that their uncle had been sitting in front of the mountain gate and divination. Every time the divination was over, he would rush to burn incense and kowtow in front of the statue of Patriarch Chunyang.
No one knew what happened to him at the time, not even our leader at the time, our Grand Master. "
"Yes, it was not until three days later that Chunyang Palace received the news that we understood why Uncle Tianshi went crazy."
"Well, when Uncle He's spirit body was carried up the mountain, my uncle went crazy. He felt his pulse over and over again and applied acupuncture over and over again. But Uncle He's body was almost smelly..."
Zhang Qingyuan looked at Li Qiuran. As the two of them listened to the disciples' stories, the scene at that time could not help but appear in their minds, and their eyes turned red.
"After that, my great-uncle tore his copy of "Baicao Zuo Wan Jing" to pieces and never treated anyone again. He went crazy all day long and kept talking about Xiao He."
"well."
Zhang Qingyuan was very emotional. He looked at the single room inside, stood up respectfully, made the Ziwu Jue, and silently saluted.
The same is true for Li Qiuran.
"I can understand Taoist Master's mood at that time." Li Qiuran sighed. With her life experience, she can really empathize.
Zhang Qingyuan said quietly: "I seemed to see an old Taoist priest sitting alone in front of the mountain gate of Chunyang Palace and doing divination.
I think how much he hoped that his hexagram would not work that day. Every time he made a divination, he hoped to see variables in the hexagram. "
In the past, every fortune-telling would have variables.
But today...why are there only one word in all the hexagrams?
"Yes, my uncle has been denying himself over and over again. He really hopes that Patriarch Chunyang can show his spirit once, but it's a pity..." The disciple who spoke shook his head and sighed.
"There is a rumor among pilgrims that this calamity happened because my great-uncle leaked too many secrets, and his merits in treating diseases and saving people were not enough to offset the backlash caused by leaking the secrets.
But this disaster all fell on his apprentice. "
The atmosphere was a bit heavy and everyone was silent for a long time.
Finally Zhang Qingyuan said: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat first, and we will talk after dinner."
"Yes, yes, eat first, eat first."
Everyone returned to their respective places to eat, and Zhang Qingyuan approached Li Qiuran again.
Staring at her while eating.
Li Qiuran frowned and said, "Look at what I do. Is there anything on my face?"
Zhang Qingyuan shook his head: "I am now sure that the old Taoist priest may not be in a good mental state, but his fortune-telling ability is definitely not affected."
"What do you want to say?"
Zhang Qingyuan bumped her with his shoulder, "Of course it's the marriage that the director mentioned. You can't run away now!"
Li Qiuran held back his face that was about to turn red, bit his thin lips lightly, and glared at him.
"boring."
