How did Baili Xuanyin know that Liang Yan was so polite, but he also had ulterior motives?
But she was indeed happy in her heart. The Yuzhu Mountain orthodoxy was preserved, and the sect's holy land was not destroyed in her hands. All of this was thanks to the person in front of her. How could she not look at him differently?
Seeing Liang Yan’s humility, Baili Xuanyin also smiled and said: “Having said that, Palace Master Liang still has a great kindness. We at Yuzhu Mountain are not ignorant of the kindness and do not repay it. We have prepared generous gifts. Please invite Palace Master Liang. Follow me into Lingxu Palace and sit for a while."
After hearing this, Liang Yan of course agreed and walked up the mountain road.
Baili Xuanyin descended the steps and came to be with Liang Yan, and then the two of them went up the mountain side by side, regardless of height.
The girls followed behind, chatting all the way, mostly about elegant things, and introduced Liang Yan to the scenic spots and historical sites of Yuzhu Mountain as well as the origins of the allusions. Liang Yan was very polite, nodding frequently and praising the beauty of Yuzhu Mountain.
In this way, we walked all the way to Lingxu Palace.
This palace is the most solemn place in Yuzhu Mountain. The entire palace is made of "Qingxuzhu". The white jade is light green, fresh and refined, and elegant.
Baili Xuanyin introduced Liang Yan into the palace. Everyone sat down separately, surrounded by female disciples who offered spiritual tea and fairy fruits. They talked and laughed for a while, and then Baili Xuanyin laughed and said: " To be honest, my life was saved by Palace Master Liang. If Palace Master Liang hadn’t taken action, You Yue and Yu Xiaolong probably wouldn’t have been able to save my life. Bring back my true spirit and body."
After hearing this, Liang Yan chuckled and said: "In the battle at Wuzhuang Mountain, I have the same position as fellow Taoist Nan Youyue and Yu Xiaolong. It's an alliance. Now in the battle between the North and the South, Wushuang City and Yuzhu Mountain are allies, which shows that we have a lot of fate."
"That's right."
Baili Xuanyin nodded and said: "Palace Master Liang is not only very kind to me, but also very kind to our Yuzhu Mountain. I have prepared some small gifts. Although I can’t repay Palace Master Liang one ten thousandth of his kindness, I can at least express my sincerity.”
After saying that, he gestured with his eyes to the left and right, and immediately a disciple came out, and within a moment, a female cultivator came forward. Carrying more than twenty boxes, they walked into the main hall one after another.
Baili Xuanyin waved his hand, and the boxes were opened one after another. The rosy light rose into the sky, passed through the Lingxu Palace, and condensed into a canopy of auspicious clouds on the top of the mountain, which lingered for a long time.
Liang Yan was well-informed and could not help but be slightly surprised when he saw the treasures in these boxes.
"Ten thousand years of cold marrow, glazed jade bamboo. These are treasures of great value. Yuzhu Mountain has spent a lot of money this time!"
He was surprised in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm and sat down in his seat. , smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Baili, this is not a small gift. With so many valuable treasures, I am afraid that Liang deserves it."
Baili Xuanyin chuckled and said: "Compared with the orthodoxy of our sect, these are nothing. I am the temporary head of the sect. This kind of thing is still done by myself. Don't worry, Palace Master Liang. Collect it."
After hearing this, Liang Yan nodded, but did not immediately collect the treasure. Instead, he smiled and said nothing.
This time it was Baili Xuanyin's turn to be surprised and thought about it: "What? Could it be that these things are still incomprehensible to Palace Master Liang?"
"That's not true."
Liang Yan sighed and said: "These treasures are not ordinary, but Liang has a knot in his mind and wants fellow Taoist Baili to fulfill his wish. If fellow Taoist agrees, I can have all these treasures. No."
After hearing this, Baili Xuanyin frowned and said slowly, "Let's talk about it?"
Liang At this time, Yan stopped smiling, straightened his clothes, stood up from his seat, with a solemn expression, cupped his hands to Baili Xuanyin and said:
"I have heard for a long time that Yuzhu Mountain is famous as the holy land of Confucian music. Liang did not I am also interested in this Tao, and I want to see the secret techniques left by the Confucian sages. I am sincere and dare not hide it. I also hope that fellow Taoists from Baili can help me!"
Baili Xuanyin was shocked and blurted out: "You want to learn my 'Heaven and Earth Xuanyin' from Yuzhu Mountain?"
"Exactly!" Liang Yan said calmly.
Baili Xuanyin's eyes widened, staring at Liang Yan, and even his breath showed subtle changes.
The female disciples present were a little at a loss. One moment they were guests and they had great kindness from Yuzhu Mountain, but the next moment they made shocking remarks. At this time, they couldn't turn their heads. They didn't know how to behave. Angry or shocked?
Liang Yan always had a calm expression on his face, without a trace of disrespect, but he was not timid at all.
He waved his hand, and nine golden treasure boxes appeared on the ground. When the lids of the boxes were opened, the treasure aura soared into the sky, and auspicious clouds surrounded them, dyeing the quiet Lingxu Palace golden.
"Liang knew that this request was a bit abrupt, so he also prepared a generous gift. As long as Yuzhu Mountain agrees to give me a chance to comprehend the 'Xuanyin of Heaven and Earth', regardless of success or failure, all these treasures will be given to me. Up. As for fellow Taoist Baili Liang did not take any of the gifts!"
Hearing this, Baili Xuanyin took a deep breath and said slowly: "It seems that Palace Master Liang is well prepared for this trip! . ”
Liang Yan knew how to bully people like this. It's useless to hide it, but it will only cause suspicion. It's better to be frank and say with a smile: "It's also a chance, it's also a coincidence. Liang came here because of his fame, and happened to encounter a group of demons surrounding the mountain. He already wanted to seek help from the noble sect, so how could he stand idly by?"
Baili Xuan Yin sighed: "Palace Master Liang is quite magnanimous. If any other outsider dares to say such words in Lingxu Palace, I will use all the strength of the entire sect to kill him even if I risk my life." , except you”
"Your Excellency, with one person's power, blocked Beiming's 100,000-strong army, helped me in Yuzhu Mountain to wipe out the demons, and preserved the sect's orthodoxy. This is God's grace and cannot be repaid. You have to use this kindness in exchange for an opportunity to comprehend. It makes sense.”
“It’s just that”
When Baili Xuanyin said this, he stopped abruptly, revealing a look of deep thought.
Liang Yan knew there was something going on and was secretly happy, but he did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly asked: "What about it? Fellow Taoist Baili can clearly say that no matter what the conditions are, we can discuss them."
< br>The sudden sound of Baili Xuanyin He smiled, blinked his eyes and said: "This 'Heaven and Earth Xuanyin' is a secret skill of ours. The rule is to pass it on to the inside but not to the outside. If Palace Master Liang insists on learning it, I have a way to do it without breaking the rules. It can make Palace Master Liang get what he wants.”
"What method?" Liang Yan asked almost subconsciously without thinking too much.
I heard Baili Xuanyin laugh and say: "It's quite simple. I have more than 2,000 disciples on Yuzhu Mountain and 1,600 unmarried ones. They are all women with excellent qualifications and beautiful appearance. Cultivation. I think Palace Master Liang is a great hero, but he lacks a Taoist companion. Why not choose a good match in my Yuzhu Mountain, join the family and practice together, and realize the Taoism together? . In this way, I am half a disciple of Yuzhu Mountain, and I have learned the master's secrets. In addition, I will use the sect's resources to organize a glorious double cultivation ceremony for you, which will not disgrace the reputation of Palace Master Liang. Isn’t this the best of both worlds?”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the field changed subtly.
The elders and disciples of Yuzhu Mountain all looked at Nan Youyue. Although Baili Xuanyin said that Liang Yan would choose a good match in Yuzhu Mountain, no one could tell that this person was only possible. It’s Nan Youyue!
Seeing everyone's eyes sweeping over, Nan Youyue's mind went blank. She didn't expect Baili Xuanyin to say this suddenly. She was stunned for a moment, and then her pretty face suddenly turned red, from the roots of her ears to her neck.
Seeing her in such embarrassment, Hongyun couldn't help but secretly laugh, and thought: "Junior sister, junior sister, you have a heart of ice, but you also have earthly thoughts. It can be seen that the harmony of yin and yang is the way of heaven, how can there be any truth? Before If you are not stained with dust, that is the future Seeing the nemesis, now that the nemesis has arrived, it has fallen from the clouds into the mortal world."
Thinking of Liang Yan again, I felt that he was indeed heroic and worthy of his junior sister. I imagined the two standing side by side. But they are a perfect match, and their elegance is unparalleled.
Chu Hua, however, had other ideas and secretly praised: "Uncle is worthy of being an uncle. This move is a good one. Not only does the younger sister get her wish, but our Yuzhu Mountain is also married to Wushuang City. Now we are married to Wushuang City. In troubled times, we need an extra layer of protection, and here we are With Liang Yan's relationship, Linghu Bai will not be able to ignore it if something happens to Yuzhu Mountain in the future. What's more, Liang Yan himself is also a big supporter, and his future is limitless."
Everyone has their own thoughts, except Nanyou. Yue's mind was in a mess.
She was originally a cold-blooded person, calm in every situation and calm in times of crisis. Only the incident involving Liang Yan caused her to become completely confused.
After practicing Taoism for thousands of years, her secular family members have long since disappeared. Baili Xuanyin is both her master and her parents. When the parents suddenly mentioned this matter, the daughter was really not prepared at all. She just felt ashamed and wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
But there was a bit of expectation in my heart. This feeling was like the hazy window paper being pierced. Although I was shy, I also wanted to know the answer. I couldn't help but raise my eyes and look at Liang Yan secretly. go.
Liang Yan was not squinting, his face was calm, he cupped his hands to Baili Xuanyin and said, "Yuzhu Mountain is a holy place for Confucianism, with outstanding people. The disciples on the mountain are all beautiful and have good qualifications. Liang can have this blessing. That's a lucky thing. But Liang already has a Taoist companion, and he will never change his mind. But what Taoist friend Baili said is unbearable."
"What? Taoist couple?”
Baili Xuanyin had a look of surprise on his face and subconsciously glanced at Nan Youyue beside him. He saw that this woman's face was pale, and her blood suddenly disappeared.
"No, this girl's mood is up and down, I'm afraid her Taoist heart will be damaged!" Baili Xuanyin secretly thought that something was wrong, but there was nothing he could do about it, and he suddenly felt a trace of resentment towards Liang Yan.
Liang Yan also knew that something was not good, but he could not hide it. He had to say it clearly, otherwise it would harm his Taoism and cause endless troubles.
"In this case, there is nothing I can do. The 'Xuanyin of Heaven and Earth' is spread internally but not externally. This has been an iron rule for tens of thousands of years. You are not my disciple of Yuzhu Mountain, even if you have great kindness , but I can't enter the 'Phantom Sound Qin Sea', please forgive me, Palace Master Liang!" Baili Xuanyin said calmly.
Although her tone was very polite, it was not as enthusiastic as before, and she was obviously a little colder.
This is helpless. Although Baili Xuanyin is the acting sect master and puts the overall situation first in everything, Nan Youyue and Yu Xiaolong are her only direct disciples. Compared to the latter, Nan Youyue has been following her since thousands of years ago. Baili Xuanyin was raised by her since she was a child, and she regarded her as her own, no different from her biological daughter.
Seeing that Nan Youyue was heartbroken, Baili Xuanyin also had some personal feelings, which were revealed in his words.
Liang Yan frowned slightly and said slowly: "Can't we be accommodating once? Liang has also made great efforts for Yuzhu Mountain. If fellow Taoist Baili can give me this opportunity, Liang promises that in the future If you attain the Great Dao, you will definitely protect Yuzhu Mountain to the best of your ability."< br>
Baili Xuanyin sighed and was about to say something else, but there was a voice next to him, saying first: "Let Palace Master Liang become the honorary elder of my Yuzhu Mountain, so that you can enter the Phantom Sea and cultivate the world. Xuanyin.”
The person who spoke was Nan Youyue.
Although her face was still pale, her eyes had returned to calm. Only a strand of hair was slightly messy in front of her forehead. For some reason, it made people feel pity.
“Honorary elder?” Baili Xuanyin frowned slightly, but this was the first time he heard this statement.
“In troubled times, there is no need to be rigid and conservative. The so-called honorary elders are treated the same as elders. They do not have to report to the mountain owner, let alone stay on the mountain. They only need to help the sect when it is in trouble. If Palace Master Liang can agree. With this condition, you can be considered as a member of Yuzhu Mountain and can enter the 'Phantom Sound Qin Sea'."
Nan Youyue's tone was very calm. From the beginning to the end, she did not look at Liang Yan. It seems like he is stating something that has nothing to do with him.
After hearing this, Liang Yan's heart moved. This method is feasible, but he still has some concerns. He couldn't help but ask: "Seven mountains and twelve cities stand side by side. Although Wushuang City is not a sect, there are still people who serve in the city. They can only be disciples of ordinary sects, and the 'Seven Mountains' are not among them."
"Don't worry."
Nan Youyue's voice was soft, interrupting Liang Yan's words, and said slowly: "Honorary elder is just a position title. Brother Dao is still the master of the Bihai Palace. It is not my jade." Zhushan disciples, there is no conflict between the two. "Besides, in troubled times, rules can be flexible, I believe Senior Linghu will not blame him."
After hearing this, Liang Yan couldn't help but feel grateful, and glanced at Nan Youyue, only to see the latter lower his head. , I don’t know what I’m thinking about.
“Alas, idiot!”
Baili Xuanyin sighed in his heart, knowing that Nan Youyue still couldn’t let go of Liang Yan in her heart. Even though she knew that the other party already had a Taoist companion, she still couldn’t let go. Advise him.
She loved her apprentice very much, so she had no choice but to follow her whim. Besides, Liang Yan was indeed very kind to Yuzhushan, even if he had to change the rules for him.
It’s just a pity that Nan Youyue’s infatuation was ultimately in vain.
"Forget it, since Yue'er has proposed this to Palace Master Liang, let me ask you, are you willing to be my honorary elder of Yuzhu Mountain?"
Liang Yan no longer hesitated at this time. He immediately replied: "Liang is willing!"
"Okay!"
Baili Xuanyin nodded and said: "Palace Master Liang, please rest one night on my Yuzhu Mountain. Tomorrow morning, I will preside over the elder conferment ceremony for you. In addition, 'Huan Yin Qin Hai' is the holy land of our sect. After Liang Daoyou becomes an elder, , you need to burn incense and bathe for three days before entering.”
“Everything depends on fellow Taoist Baili.”
