After that, Xia Yu didn't ask more, and Li Chunqiu also fell into sentimentality, and the group kept quiet, and the atmosphere was a little different.

I don't know how long I walked, but when the group came to the square in front of Zixiao Palace, they saw a group of Taoist priests waiting.

"Mr. Xia, Mr. Li, these are the Dao Chiefs of Wudang Mountain, and the one headed by is the Xuanqing Dao Chief, the head of the Wudang Sect. ”

The staff immediately introduced Xia Yu and the others, and led everyone towards the group of Taoist priests.

As he got closer, when he saw the person in charge, a trace of memory flashed in Li Chunqiu's eyes, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt, and his hands trembled a little.

"Senior Brother Qianyuan?"

Li Chunqiu shouted tentatively.

The silver-haired Taoist leader at the head wanted to salute everyone, but suddenly heard the old man in Tang costume opposite calling his real name and calling him his junior brother.

The familiar and unfamiliar title broke the peace in Ye Qianyuan's heart.

He looked at Li Chunqiu carefully, overlapping with the portrait in his memory, before he tentatively shouted, "You are Senior Brother Chunqiu?"

Ye Qianyuan's words undoubtedly confirmed the speculation in Li Chunqiu's heart, he was suddenly overjoyed, his eyes were red, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Ye Qianyuan's hand, and said excitedly: "Senior Brother Qianyuan, it's me, I didn't expect that after several decades, I would be able to see you again, God opened his eyes!"

"Senior Brother Chunqiu, it's good for you to be alive, it's good to be alive, after the master took a group of senior brothers down the mountain, there was no news, I thought ...... God open your eyes......"

Ye Qianyuan was also in tears, and he was a little choked up when he spoke excitedly, no one knew how much torment and torture he had endured in his heart over the past few decades.

At this time, a senior brother who was originally thought to have passed away reappeared, and the depression in Ye Qianyuan's heart seemed to have found a breakthrough.

The scene of the two old men complaining to each other made the people around them not react.

In particular, some of Ye Qianyuan's disciples and grandchildren had never seen Ye Qianyuan in such a posture, and they were all shocked.

However, they all know one thing, that is, from today onwards, they have an additional elder at the level of senior uncle and senior uncle.

Fortunately, Li Chunqiu and Ye Qianyuan still knew the current occasion and controlled their excitement in time.

The group crossed Zixiao Palace, went to Taihe Palace, and after arranging their stay, they gathered again in the main hall of Taihe Palace.

Ye Qianyuan and Li Chunqiu sat at the top.

Ye Qianyuan introduced his juniors, and Li Chunqiu also introduced Xia Yu and others in a timely manner, but did not elaborate on Xia Yu's identity.

"Senior brother, your return is a happy event for my Wudang Taoism, and I should notify the other sects to hold a return ceremony for you. “

"However, now the people of various factions are not prosperous, far less than when the master was there. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Qianyuan was a little sad and lost.

There are not only Wudang factions in Wudang Mountain, but so far, Wudang faction has been a general term, in fact, there are more than a dozen sects in Wudang Mountain, such as Wudang Sanfeng faction, Wudang Xuanwu faction, Longmen faction, Songxi faction, Chunyang faction and so on.

The head of the Wudang faction is actually called Dao Zong, and he is the representative elected by more than a dozen sects, and he can't say which faction he comes from, but they are all a family anyway.

Li Chunqiu shook his head and said: "There is no need for the ceremony, just take me to recognize people, I don't know how many people of the same generation are still alive." ”

"By the way, junior brother, is there still my name on the roster, have the other senior brothers come back?"

"There is your name, unless the true news is confirmed, the names on the roster are all there, but so far, only the senior brother will return......

"Hey......"

Although there was a guess in his heart, Li Chunqiu was still sad when he heard this.

......

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past two days, Li Chunqiu stayed with Ye Qianyuan most of the time, and Xia Yuhe did not disturb them, but was accompanied by staff and some Taoist leaders to visit Wudang Mountain.

After a tour, Xia Yu found that most of the buildings left in ancient times in Wudang Mountain were there, but there were some dilapidations.

There are also some buildings that became famous in later generations, which did not appear at this time.

Along the way, although there are pilgrims who come to incense, but there are very few, which shows the quality of life of Taoist priests on Wudang Mountain.

However, Taoist priests pay attention to pure cultivation, and they don't value things outside the body such as money, and their own cultivation is enough to fill their stomachs.

In the evening, Li Chunqiu finally had time, and chatted with Xia Yu in the courtyard about the past that he had never mentioned to Xia Yu before.

"Ayu, I was originally ......"

As Li Chunqiu narrated, Xia Yu seemed to have returned to that turbulent and war-torn era.

Li Chunqiu studied under Xu Benshan, the eleventh generation of Wudang Mountain and the sixteenth generation head of the Longmen faction, but unfortunately Xu Benshan was targeted because he was too conspicuous, and was finally ambushed by soldiers in Wansong Pavilion outside Zixiao Palace, and fell under gunfire.

After Xu Benshan's death, Wudang Mountain was closed, but when the Japanese invaded, they felt the suffering of the people, and a group of Taoist priests went down the mountain to save the people from fire and water, and a group of brothers and sisters were scattered.

In the end, Li Chunqiu came to Xiangjiang, but when he wanted to go back, he found that the environment had changed, and it was not that he could go back if he wanted to.

Although Li Chunqiu did not elaborate, Xia Yu knew very well that in that chaotic era, anything could happen, and Li Chunqiu was lucky to be able to survive the Japanese invasion.

Thinking about his dozens of brothers and sisters who went down the mountain to fight against the Japanese invaders, he is the only one who has returned to Wudang Mountain so far.

Ye Qianyuan was still able to survive until now because he was left behind, otherwise if he went down the mountain with them, he didn't know if he would be able to survive.

"Then Master, do you plan to go back to Wudang Mountain or Xiangjiang in the future?"

After listening, Xia Yu asked softly.

Li Chunqiu said slowly: "Go back to Xiangjiang, I can come back to see what I have been wishing for decades, and the official has also given a letter of approval, as long as I want to come back, I can come back at any time." ”

"Ayu, if it weren't for you, I don't know if I would be able to return here in this life. ”

"Now that Senior Brother Qianyuan is here, I can rest assured, if I can, tomorrow after you enter the inheritance list, donate some money to repair Wudang Mountain!"

Li Chunqiu had already mentioned to Ye Qianyuan that Xia Yu was his apprentice, although he would be a lay disciple, but he also learned the true tradition, and after learning Xia Yu's identity, Ye Qianyuan was shocked and immediately agreed, with such a heavyweight disciple, Wudang Mountain will be much better in the future.

Xia Yu bowed his head slightly and said: "Master, donations are definitely needed, but this can only solve temporary troubles, and from a long-term perspective, it is still necessary to be self-reliant to carry forward Wudang Mountain." “

"Now there is no money in the mainland, and even if there is money to repair cultural relics in the future, the whole of China is so big, and Wudang Mountain will not be able to share much. “

Li Chunqiu was stunned for a moment, feeling that what Xia Yu said was reasonable.

He also hopes that Wudang Mountain can be carried forward, but this is not something he can accomplish, now Xia Yu seems to have an idea, and Li Chunqiu has expectations in his heart.

"Ayu, what do you think?"

Xia Yu said the thoughts he had sorted out in the past two days: "I plan to propose a joint venture to the mainland to develop and operate Wudang Mountain. ”

"But the dominant power is on my side, the mainland only enjoys the benefits, in fact, I am not short of this money, mainly because I am afraid that when the people of the mainland live better, Wudang Mountain, a Taoist holy land, will be corrupted by money and lose the foundation of the religion. “

Master Li Chunqiu has given him a lot of help, and he wants to give back to Master in this way.

Li Chunqiu thought about it with a serious face, nodded and said: "What you said is not impossible, I'm afraid that some people can do anything for money, but they will destroy the foundation of Wudang Mountain." ”

"I support you in doing this, and I will also help you convince Senior Brother Qianyuan, but the main question should be whether the mainland is willing to take out Wudang Mountain to contract!"

Xia Yu smiled faintly and said: "You have to try, I think there is a certain opportunity, and I will have someone hand over the news tomorrow." ”

"Then try it!"
