This is also the reason why I am not very willing to let the other sects get involved...
At this time, it was late at night, and I returned to the stone room of my residence to meditate in the lotus position.
If I stay at Liùdiàngdiàn overnight, Mr. Hé Worry will definitely see me tomorrow and worry about it.
Lao Gong rolled around the bed and then spun around on the ground.
My mind was already somewhat agitated, and his actions even disturbed me from focusing.
"Why didn't you go to look for Deer sister?" My voice was slightly hoarse.
"Hmph, Sister Lu said, 'You always hang out in the Miaoxuan Hall, and all the other young nuns say it's not good, that's not good.'" Lao Gong really wanted to go, but he dared not.
Even he, who has no limits, is still being tightly held by others.
"Master, are you dissatisfied with me?"
"You used to be like this before."
Lao Gong's face wrinkled up.
I remained silent, closing my eyes and focusing my mind once more.
"I am a sentimental person, and you can almost be considered an emotionless one. In all these years, only Huāyánxiǎonvěi has been able to touch your heart. Don't meditate anymore, you can't meditate for long, come on, let me go to Miaoxuan Hall with you. You go first, and no one else will say anything." Lao Gong was full of empty talk.
I still didn't respond to him.
After a long time, I finally entered a state of deep meditation.
When I woke up again, the sunlight was already filling the stone room.
Just as I went out, He Worry was standing right outside the hall.
"Mr. Wu called, and his opinion was very clear. We should go to their place directly in a show of strength and ask for justice. What we worry about is that the Taoism and the Buddhist Academy in the territory will have a falling out. In other words, they will also be worried. If there's going to be a fight, it will depend on who has harsher methods and stronger fists." He Worry stroked his beard as he said, "The two elders of Shenqiao and Jinyin have given their opinions. They say that whether it's the esoteric or exoteric Buddhism, the practices are all about avoiding the world and not looking for trouble."
"That's why, someone might help the Buddhist Academy of Wu La and help Abbot Ngok La, but they won't do it sincerely. Once the fight starts, it will be 'Amitabha' and 'goodbye'. Those who should leave will definitely leave."
"Those who won't leave, let them bleed, and they will leave." He Worry's words were long.
The highlight of Wu Jinyin's actions turned out to be completely in line with Lao Gong's.
It's just a little bit more, about the understanding of the Shenqiao and Jinyin for the Buddhist temples.
After a pause, He Worry continued: "I have already notified Gu Qiang City, Yunjin Mountain, and Juqu Mountain. They have said that the gates are already arranged and ready to depart at any time. We only need one notice to go to the Buddhism of Khandu County Council."
I have told He Worry everything about me.
He Worry naturally knows about the Da County in the territory.
All things are arranged properly, there is no reason for me to refuse.
"Little brother, do you think we should leave tomorrow, or give you a few more days to rest, in three days?" He Worry asked again.
"Since tomorrow is fine, I myself don't have much to rest." I was replying when I heard this.
I also heard a quick and hurried sound of footsteps approaching, still at some distance.
"Hmm?" He Worry almost simultaneously lifted his head to look in a certain direction.
Zhi Dan's change is no less than that of He Worry. He can hear so clearly now?
The one who appeared outside the Sixth Palace was an elderly man wearing a red robe.
"Old Nine, in a hurry, all flustered up, what kind of appearance is this?" He Worry waved his sleeve.
The one who had come was the ninth-ranking Elder.
"Great elder, little brother, this is it. A guest suddenly came to our mountain gate, so I have come quickly to invite you over." Elder Nine wiped the sweat beads on his forehead.
"Precious guest?" He Worry was slightly puzzled.
I am also unclear about this.
What precious guest can come to the SiGuiding Mountain?
Even if the other three sects go to the Immortal Cave Mountain, they wouldn't make the SiGuiding Mountain so urgent.
Furthermore, He Worry called last night, and even if they had wings, they wouldn't have come so quickly.
"Don't keep me in suspense, just say who it is?" He Worry was to the point.
"The Jiu Ding Iron Peak Mountain, Vice-President Liu Taiyuan, Chief T Zhang Zhiyi, and a cultivator named Dai Lun. He says that he has a close relationship with the little brother and is a successor of the Five Arts. They also brought valuable gifts." Elder Nine answered immediately.
"Jiu Ding Iron Peak Mountain..." He Worry squinted slightly: "What are they here for?"
I narrowed my pupils slightly.
"The last time, I got the corpse pill of a cultivator, as well as the Corpse Pill of the Emperor, and two other pills. One is from the corpse of a cultivator, and the other is from the hundred-corpse forehead."
The Corpse Pill of the Evil made the Jiu Ding Iron Peak Mountain mistakenly think that it was taken away by the group of Qing Xin and Láng Yán.
The last two, I directly gave to the Iron Peak Mountain.
Only the Corpse Pill of the Emperor was taken away by me.
According to logic, even if Zhang Zhiyi hasn't gained much in strength, the soul-sealing of the Hundred Corpse Ancestor should be effective.
Moreover, how did they mix with Dai Lun, who is a successor of the Five Arts?
While I was pondering, Elder Nine spoke in a low voice: "The valuable gift of the Jiu Ding Iron Peak Mountain is to thank the SiGuiding Mountain for clearing out the White Wolf Cave, which was also solved by Master Han Jīn of the previous generation. Of course, this time, it is the little brother and Master Han Jīn who solved it. As for Dai Lun of Five Arts, he simply said that he came to meet a friend."
"Let's go, Elder Nine," I made a gesture of invitation.
He Worry stepped forward simultaneously, and Elder Nine led the way.
We were heading towards the Shangqing Palace.
When we arrived at the location, we could see at a glance that there were over a dozen people inside the Shangqing Palace.
Zhang Zhiyi and Liu Taiyuan, as well as the others, were wearing robes with clouds, horses, and other animals, colored in a patchwork manner.
Dai Lun really came alone. He was short in stature, with a smiling face and a look of great happiness.
"Master Luo, it's been a long time! Hahaha!" Dai Lun immediately approached me and bowed.
My brow slightly furrowed, of course, and then relaxed.
One should not strike a smiling person, and since Dai Lun had no conflicts with us in the past, I also promised him how to deal with Dai Hong, and would inform him of the decision at the right time.
"It's been a long time, Mr. Dai," I nodded my head in greeting.
At the same time, Zhang Zhiyi stood up and deeply bowed to me.
"I see Master Luo," his attitude was much lower.
I noticed that Zhang Zhiyi's face looked very strange; it didn't seem like his own. Especially the bones on top of his head seemed to be deformed. There was an intangible aura emanating from him, indicating that he had also broken through?
"Master Luo, my legs and feet are not flexible, please excuse me," Liu Taiyuan opened his mouth and stood up to bow to us.
At this moment, it was noon, and Lao Gong's head poked out. He clicked his tongue twice and said, "Oh, Old Liu, where is your leg? The Jiu Ding Iron Peak Mountain has so many White Goddesses. Did they not give you a pair of good legs?"
"A distinguished vice abbot turned into an old Taoist with his buttocks exposed, that's not very pleasant," Lao Gong said with a laugh, his smile so bright it seemed to bloom on his face.
I maintained my composure.
In reality, Lao Gong had a good attitude towards the Jiu Ding Iron Peak Mountain and had enjoyed their hospitality on multiple occasions.
It was during the last trip to the cultivator's mansion that we had a major falling out.
The host has changed, and Lao Gong is different from us. He would be polite half a step. That wouldn't be Lao Gong.
As expected, Liu Taiyuan's face turned red, looking as bad as he had eaten rat droppings.
"Oh, I remember now. There was a half-way cultivator in the White Wolf Cave. That old guy, he's as powerful as two Black Mothers. Are you aspiring to be a half-way cultivator of the Jiu Ding Iron Peak Mountain? Impressive, I respect you, Lao Gong." Lao Gong's head jumped up and landed beside Liu Taiyuan's chair, where he took a sip of his tea and spat it out on the ground.
"There's no smoke without fire, what do you want from the Jiu Ding Iron Peak Mountain? Just say it directly, stop stalling," Lao Gong smiled at Liu Taiyuan.
