Chapter 298 Preaching
The matter involved the Taoist Master Wuxiang, and there was a moment of silence in the side hall.
This was originally a funeral, but when a figure like Taoist Wuxiang died, the death of Yuanying was not worth mentioning.
Moreover, Po Yunzi lamented about the fluorescent sun and moon. There were seven golden elixirs on the field, and only half of them had hope for the avenue. For a moment, everyone felt as if a rabbit had died and a fox had died.
"To be honest with you," Lin Bai sighed, shook his head helplessly and said, "Jiuzhe Mountain and his party have really sharpened their Taoist heart. However, I thought I could climb high and see far away, but I didn't expect it, but I felt even more insignificant."
Speaking of this, Lin Bai looked around at everyone, especially at Qu Chengjia, who had his eyes closed, and Qu Ruyi, who was shrinking his neck, and then said: "All the senior brothers and sisters in Jiuzhe Mountain are among the best, but they are really dangerous. , I still lost a few senior brothers.”
With another sigh, Lin Bai looked at Po Yunzi and asked, "Senior Brother Po Yunzi, I have always been suspicious, who is the person who used the sword?"
Lin Bai didn't dare to inquire about the mastermind behind the attack on Taoist Wuxiang, but he was very interested in the person who used the sword.
And after hanging around in Qiaoshan for a long time, Lin Bai increasingly agreed with Lu Qingyin's assessment that the East China Sea was a place of death.
The world here is too small, and there are only a few god-transforming monks. Although Zhouhui Mountain exists, it has fallen into decline for thousands of years. Even if there are new ones, in the end they are the doves occupying the magpie's nest in the Northern Wasteland.
Could it be that something happened in the East China Sea due to Taoist Wuxiang? The Taoist Master Wuxiang's dojo is the East China Sea, but he was harmed at home. Could it be that the cause and effect is here?
Lin Bai couldn't figure it out, so he naturally wanted to ask others.
Everyone shook their heads after hearing Lin Bai's question.
Poyunzi also smiled helplessly and said: "The East China Sea is barren and there are few experts coming and going. I don't know either."
Sure enough, everyone didn't know. In other words, Jin Dan is not qualified to know yet, but Xiang Wuhui and others may know something, but they have not said anything.
In the final analysis, both the Wuxiang Dao Master and the person who wields the sword are too high and too far away to participate in it.
Lin Bai didn't pry any more, and just let things take their own course. Once they got to that point, they would naturally find out.
"The master of the Taoist form has withered."
Poyunzi seemed to be feeling sad, and he didn't know whether he was sighing for his own insignificance or lamenting the impermanence of life. "But the East China Sea is her old man's dojo, and there are places where she stays and lives in various places. In recent years, secret realms have been opened one after another, and visions often appear."
He looked at Lin Bai, then at Meng Yuan and Qu Ruyi, and then said: "First, there is the Wordless Secret Realm. My master has gone to explore it. As for the Wuxiang Tomb, I think all the fellow Taoists have also been there, but few have gained anything." , mostly returned empty-handed.”
Qu Ruyi lowered his head even more when talking about Wuxiang Tomb.
Everyone on the field was in good spirits, and no one looked at Qu Chengjia's reaction.
"It is true that there have always been secret realms, and perhaps there are still many hidden that will be opened in the future." Cheng Keshui stroked his beard and muttered: "However, those who enter the secret realm and gain something are only low-level monks who have not yet determined their path."
When Cheng Keshui said this, he pointed to the blessed land of Qiaoshan and said: "Ancestor Xiang, the sect leader of the noble sect, and the senior Jiuyin Shanyin also entered the wordless secret realm when they were building the foundation."
"With all these things, I'm afraid that Taoist Wuxiang Master is really leaving it to future generations to find someone to inherit the mantle." Poyunzi sighed.
"The Thousand Gorges Sandfield is where Taoist Wuxiang fell, and there are many small worlds left behind." Gao Yuanyuan laughed suddenly, "I remember that there is an abyss in the center of the Thousand Gorges Sandfield. It is extremely dangerous, and it must be among them. More opportunities.”
As soon as he said this, everyone became silent.
The sandy land of Thousand Valleys is inherently windy and noisy, making it difficult for ordinary monks to penetrate deeply. Not to mention the middlemost place, it is difficult for everyone on the field to visit in person. I am afraid that only those in the Nascent Soul realm can explore it.
After everyone chatted for a while, Poyunzi asked Lin Bai about Jiuzhe Mountain. It turned out that he also had friends with Jing Sixui.
This is not surprising. Although the high-level sects are extremely far apart, often thousands or even tens of thousands of miles apart, to the Golden Core cultivators, it is not that far away. Even if there are dangerous places blocking the way, such as Mianlong Mountain or the Thousand Valley Sands, it doesn't take much effort to make a circle.
Moreover, major sects often have reputations among themselves, and even the highest-ranking Nascent Souls have friends and have business exchanges with various places.
Lin Bai immediately praised Jing Si Tui, and Po Yunzi also said that Jing Si Tui's spirit was extraordinary.
After blowing each other for a while, everyone finally dispersed.
After leaving the side hall, Meng Yuan followed him out again.
"Senior." Meng Yuan smiled on her face and whispered: "Jingxian asked me to congratulate senior on forming the elixir."
"Why didn't she come?" Lin Bai was still curious, thinking about letting Song Jingxian and Dugu Jing chat about the formation.
"Her cultivation has reached a critical point, so it's inconvenient to come here." Meng Yuan sighed, then looked at Lin Bai quietly and said, "I thought you had forgotten her."
"How can we forget the friendship of fighting side by side in the past?" Lin Bai said with a smile.
"This is not the friendship I'm talking about." Meng Yuan raised an eyebrow, "She is always thinking of you. I heard that you had taken pills, and you kept telling me that you wanted to come to Qiaoshan. Later, I heard that you went to Daoyin Sect. No matter what trial you participate in, she always prays for your safety.”
"Is she okay?" Lin Bai didn't know how to answer.
In fact, the reason for caring so much about Song Jingxian lies in the Song and Qing Dynasties. Of course, Song Jingxian is indeed a kind-hearted person and has a great temperament.
"You'll know if you go and see it?" Meng Yuan smiled proudly and stopped dwelling on the matter. Instead, he whispered: "Ruyi can't run away this time. I'm afraid he has to go back to the island to live for a long time. Have you waited for the last one?" In three to five years, I beg Fairy Shen Yu to come and fish her out.”
This senior sister has really taken great pains for her junior sister and has already made arrangements for her funeral in advance.
Lin Bai naturally agreed.
Two days later, people from Jiuyin Mountain came to worship, but Jin Dan led the group.
Yun Wujiu has not yet come down from the Immortal Bridge Blessed Land, and Po Yunzi and others have not left.
On the 33rd day of the Nascent Soul Ceremony, according to custom, a Nascent Soul monk should give a sermon.
The last time Gu Qingshan held a ceremony, it was Gu Qingshui who preached.
In the morning of this day, Qiaoshan was solemn. Many people had been waiting in the square in front of the main hall early, hoping to listen to the voice of Nascent Soul.
Sure enough, not long after waiting, the clouds and mist rose up from the blessed land of Xianqiao, and then everyone felt a sense of trance, as if the law was unlimited, and they seemed to have returned to the ordinary body.
The faint pressure fell, and they saw three people sitting cross-legged on the high platform in front of the hall.
The man in the middle wears linen and short robes, and has an extraordinary bearing, which means Xiang Wuhui. On the left is an old man with a black beard and a thin figure, who is the leader of the Yunxia Sect, Yun Wujiu; on the right is a woman, dressed in green clothes, cool and indifferent, with extremely beautiful appearance, and she is Gu Qingshui.
All the monks immediately bowed down to pay homage.
Master Lin Bai and his disciples lowered their heads so much that they did not dare to say a word.
Two of the three Yuan Yings on the stage have been offended before, and they are really guilty.
"I started from a humble beginning..."
The vague voice without reply floated on the field and fell in everyone's ears.
He didn't talk about any profound insights into spiritual practice, nor did he talk about his experience in overcoming obstacles. He just talked about old things about seeking the Tao.
He joined the Qiaoshan Sect from an unknown person, then built foundations, formed elixirs, and even attained the Nascent Soul, becoming the first person in the three sects.
Xiang Wuhui did not say much about the hardships involved, only the desire to seek the truth.
Don't be greedy for women, don't love property, don't commit murder, just meditate.
Xiang Wuhui is not a high-ranking scholar, but he will tell the story of his life. The matter of spiritual practice is not mentioned much, and the incident of surrounding and killing Lu Haike is also mentioned briefly. It seems to be ordinary, but it makes the listeners fascinated, as if they have walked the path of spiritual practice all over again.
By the time he finished speaking, it was already evening.
When the meeting ended, Sanyuanying was nowhere to be seen, but everyone was still interested and stayed still for a long time. Now that the ceremony has ended, the fox has not shown up. I don't know if he is sleeping at home or because of other things.
In the past, foxes loved to join in the fun. Even if they had nothing to do, they would come and hang around and say some weird things. But it's a little strange that he doesn't come now.
"Everyone will write down a reflection later and give it to me in three days." Lin Bai assigned the task, and seeing Dugu Jing stunned, he didn't let it go, "Same for you."
All three women agreed.
Huang Ruhua was sitting with Dugu Jing. When she saw Lin Bai looking over, she avoided looking, as if she was afraid of being sent on a mission.
"Why didn't your master come?" Lin Bai looked at Huang Ruhua.
Seeing that Lin Bai didn't force her to write any reflections, Huang Ruhua couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master is probably sleeping at home."
It seems that Xiao Huang doesn't know what the fox is doing. ,
This apprentice of the fox is free-range, and he probably doesn't get angry with her either.
Lin Bai originally thought that the fox would definitely come and maybe bring Xiuxiu with him, but he didn't expect that the fox would not go out.
"Is there any way to contact your master?" Lin Bai asked.
"Master sleeps for several months, even half a year. I asked her at the beginning of the year and she might not be able to return until the end of the year." Huang Ruhua also sighed, and then she shook her head and said: "Master said that a loving mother often loses her son, that's right So let me wander around. You should also learn from my master, don't coddle Miaomiao all day long, let her go out, don't keep her close to you."
Miao Miaoben was talking about homework with Jiang Yu, which suddenly affected Chi Yu. She was stunned for a moment, grabbed Huang Ruhua's arm, "Sister Xiao Huang..."
"Do you think I am willing to detain her?" Lin Bai also had a point. "She caused a lot of trouble when she was building the foundation outside. She offended Jiuyin Mountain a lot, and the Yunxia Sect was also involved. Do you think I dare to let her go?" Is she going out?”
"Yes." Huang Ruhua actually admitted it. She looked at Miaomiao and nodded, "You master and disciple are not easy to get along with."
"Master," Miaomiao interrupted again, "Fairy Shen Yu is probably visiting friends."
"Has she come to see you?" Lin Bai asked curiously.
"That's not true." Miaomiao chuckled and moved closer, "Senior Mu Zhen came here and asked about Xiao Yu'er and I's practice."
After Lin Bai came back from Daoyin Sect, he heard Miaomiao and Jiang Yu talk about this matter. At that time, he didn't pay much attention to it and just thought that Sister Zhen was free. Moreover, the two apprentices looked at each other strangely at that time, as if they suspected that there was another master wife, so Lin Bai did not dare to ask more questions. Now it seems that there is something fishy in it.
"Then what?" Huang Ruhua asked.
"Senior Mu Zhen was leaving after one day. Xiao Yu'er and I couldn't keep our guests, so we asked where Senior Mu was going." Miaomiao looked at Huang Ruhua.
"I understand." Huang Ruhua naturally knew Mu Zhen. She looked understanding and said with a smile: "Master and Senior Wood Demon know each other, and Mu Zhen probably went to pay a visit. She is really polite."
Lin Bai knew that the matter was not simple. The fox had once provoked Sister Zhen, and Sister Zhen vowed to make the fox look good.
Looking at it now, maybe Sister Zhen really faced off against the fox.
It's just that the fox is still in the Nascent Soul realm. Even if Sister Zhen has a lot of things in her hands, she may still have to steal the chicken but lose the rice.
"Senior Mu said that she wanted to go to Mianlong Mountain to show off the fox." Miaomiao said.
"..." Huang Ruhua frowned and turned her head.
Lin Bai looked at Jiang Yu, who nodded honestly, indicating that what Miaomiao said was true.
"This..." Lin Bai was confused. It seemed that he had found the reason why the fox didn't come.
However, the fox has cultivated the Space Avenue, and Sister Zhen has also mastered the escape method. If she is completely defeated by the fox, I am afraid it will be difficult to get a favor.
Even though Sister Zhen has a lot of treasures in her hands, she is not going to fight the fox desperately, so it is difficult to hurt the fox, let alone trap the fox.
But the fox didn't show up for a long time...
Using oneself to save others, Lin Bai guessed that Sister Zhen might have lured the fox to the north. Or maybe Sister Zhen and Fox have teamed up to cause trouble.
Neither one person nor one fox is a fuel-efficient lamp, bite it, bite it, bite the hair!
"Friends with friends." Lin Bai sighed.
"..." Huang Ruhua was originally glaring at Miaomiao, but after hearing this, she glared at Lin Bai again.
"We masters and disciples look down upon those who complain the most!"
Lin Bai didn't wait for Huang Ruhua to react, and immediately stood up and went to Chunhui Hall.
In today’s sermon, I told Wu Hui about my life, with the intention of seeking the truth.
Lin Bai always felt that what Patriarch Xiang was about to do, he might have everything ready to take a chance on becoming a god.
Being in Qiaoshan, it would be a great thing if we could have one more god to protect us.
It's just that it's extremely difficult to prove the Nascent Soul. Even if you have the ability to never turn back, it's probably extremely difficult to advance to become a god.
If it is successful, it will be easy to say. If it fails, there may be more wind and rain in Qiaoshan.
After setting up the formation, Lin Bai sat upright in the room and came to the stone plate.
A wisp of green remains, and the moon is even more white.
With a thought, the mist surged in and turned into Qingyun Mountain. Then a gap opened in the mist, and the white color of the moon came in.
This is the meaning of inviting Xiuxiu and Fox to visit Qiaoshan. If the fox is by Xiuxiu's side, he should be able to come here soon.
After doing this, Lin Bai went to find Aunt Gu again.
"Ancestor wants to retreat and meditate without seeing anyone." Gu Yao blocked the way.
"I can't do it either?" Lin Bai asked sadly.
"..." Seeing Lin Bai's pitiful appearance of being abandoned by others, Gu Yao smacked her lips and said, "Then let me ask."
Gu Yao reached out to stir the pool, but quickly withdrew her hand.
"Ancestor asked you to meditate, don't worry about other things." Gu Yao chuckled, "Your good disciple has collected a lot of spiritual stones, go and pay off the debt first!"
I said before that if I had any questions about my practice, I could just come and ask, but in the blink of an eye I no longer recognized the person!
Lin Bai lost his temper and said to himself that women are really unreliable. Sister Pei gets tired after just two sleeps, Sister Zhen is full of bad ideas, and Jiang Yatou demands too much...
"Sister Huanhuan, you are so kind." After saying goodbye to Gu Yao, Lin Bai went to find Sister Huanhuan.
"I'm going to retreat." Yang Huan wiped his mouth and said softly.
She was already prepared to deal with the thunder tribulation, all she needed was to be in a smooth mood and complete her foundation building.
Now it's just a last resort, it won't be long.
After the two pestered each other for two days, Lin Bai returned to Chunhui Hall for meditation.
Five days later, there was no sign of the fox, but two good disciples came to the door with Dugu Jing.
