First encounter with the Prince of Nanling in the Nether (1)
In the end, they get along day and night, but in a few days, Bai Ling found that his Liu Linglang was a little disobedient - when he was called to plant a merit tree together, he suddenly "clanged" and smashed the oval full of copper coins, and then held his head and convulsed in pain. When he meditated and rested, he would keep his eyes open and stare at her, occasionally seeing that she was hairy, and he would silently lower his head again.
By all indications, he was about to regain his senses.
In this regard, Bailing was both happy and worried. The good thing is that she finally doesn't have to talk to herself alone in the future, but the worry is that she doesn't know how Shuguang's temperament is? Will you be dissatisfied with her as a Taoist couple? For the first time, she experienced what it was like to care about someone, and she began to care about her every move, even dressing up.
Flying up to a hundred days to divide the soul of the lower realm, Bai Ling took advantage of the task delivered by Tianshun Xingjun, before going to Kunlun, he first appeared at the outer gate of the Guiyuan faction. The outer door has changed greatly, and the tall vermilion wall door is full of lilies, she guesses that it was Master Pu's idea, because she once inadvertently mentioned that her favorite flower is a lily, which is fragrant and not charming, and the most charming. The vegetable garden in the backyard has been transformed into a meditation room for chanting and teaching at the outer door, and the bluestone road is paved all the way to the inner courtyard, which is where pilgrims stop. And to the inner courtyard, it is a scene full of flowers-
In order to avoid accidents, the disciples in charge of cleaning will pour out the overflowing incense ashes after a while, causing them to complain again and again. As a last resort, the fire pool can only be added outside the hall to slightly alleviate the demand for incense ceremonies. The willow trees next to the temple are surrounded by a high fence, which can slightly block the enthusiastic pilgrims, but even so, there are countless red ribbons of prayer hanging on the branches and leaves, and there are also believers who bow down all day long, worship all the way from the mountain gate, kowtow to the lintel of the high platform, and let the disciples persuade them to leave it is useless.
Bai Ling turned around, but did not find Master Pu, and followed the crowd into the inner courtyard, just when he heard a pilgrim ask the person next to him, "What are those people kneeling for?" ”
Looking in the direction of his gaze, he asked about the men who were dressed in Taoist robes and kneeling outside the willow fence to bow down.
"Oh, those, those are all believers, believers who admire the miracle of the ascension of the supreme enlightened female disciple."
Believer? She has only been ascending for 100 days, and there are believers?
Bai Ling listened with surprise and novelty, and then heard the pilgrim ask from earlier, "I see how many of those believers are wearing Taoist robes that look like the Nanling Royal Ancestral Hall?" The tattoo on the robe is comparable to Taiyin, which should be a symbol of the god of the country sacrificed by Nanling, the ghost. ”
The pilgrim just now immediately gave him a thumbs up, "Senior brother has a lot of knowledge. That's right, those few are from Nanling, and it is said that they are still from the Nanling royal family. He lowered his voice a little, "When I came just now, I saw the carriage parked outside the east wing, good guy, the ghost statue carved in white marble is priceless!" ”
When the other pilgrims next to him heard this, they leaned over with worried faces, "What are the Nanling royal family doing all the way to our female disciple's shrine?" Don't they believe in demons and gods? Our female brother is a dignified immortal! ”
"yes, it won't offend our female brother fairy god, right?"
“……”
A member of the Nanling royal family? Or her adherents?
Bai Ling listened for a while, curiously walked through the crowd, and approached the willow tree that was kneeling three times inside and three times outside.
She has heard the customs of Nanling, worshipping ghosts and not worshipping gods, why did she come all the way to Xiling to worship the gods?
The high platform was crowded, and the closer they got to the main hall of the female disciples, the clearer their sense of the pilgrims' hearts became. The ears are filled with all kinds of voices, some pray for blessings, some complain about their livelihood, and some make vows to make money...... Mixed together, she frowned slightly uncomfortably, and the moment she paused in her steps, she collided with a person who had just come out of the main hall.
"I'm sorry, girl." Very clear voice.
Bai Ling looked up at him, he was a young man in white about sixteen or seventeen years old, his face was childish, but he was upright, quite a bit of a teenager and an old man.
She shook her head, but she accidentally saw the white lotus lantern in his hand, and out of curiosity, she pointed and asked, "What are you holding?" ”
"This is a peace lamp to pray to the female disciple fairy god for the health of the family, and it is very effective." As he spoke, the young man turned the lantern in his hand slightly, and showed her the prayer wheel engraved behind the lotus seat as if offering a treasure.
In this way, the ghost statue embroidered on the chest of his white clothes was revealed.
Bai Ling couldn't help but pause slightly, "Are you from Nanling?" ”
The young man glanced down and suddenly said, "Exactly." ”
"Nanling is more than 4,000 miles away from here, and you have come here specifically to worship the gods?"
"Yes." The young man said calmly, "It happened to be a change in the family, and I heard that the Xiling Female Disciple Temple has been very effective since it was built, so Xiaosheng came to pray for blessings." ”
"Is it really that effective?" Bai Ling was a little skeptical, "It can't be a deceptive gimmick." ”
This question was a bit abrupt, but the young man was not angry, and replied patiently, "Sincerity is spirituality." I heard that the female disciple fairy god ascended before the Bo Shi to help the people, the ancient way of the warm heart of the Guiyuan school of the elder sister, after becoming a god, is more compassionate and benevolent, there is a request, as long as we are pious and sincere, respectful, the female disciple fairy god will be able to feel our sincerity, for us to solve problems. ”
Giving to all? Warm-hearted?
What else? Big...... Masters?
Listening to these praise words that beautify themselves to the sky, Bai Ling couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
She used to be an insignificant outer disciple, but she was praised as a senior sister who is happy to help others and has high morals? Sure enough, people's words are terrifying, and everyone is golden, and what is black can be said to be white.
After a while, she asked with a complicated expression, "What's your name?" ”
It was another abrupt question, the young man was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a crepe manner, "Xiaosheng's surname is Yu, and his single name is a tic-tac-toe." ”
"Your surname is Yu?" Bai Ling searched in her mind, and if she remembered correctly, Yu was the national surname of the Nanling royal family, and all Nanling civilians needed to take the initiative to avoid even homophonic words similar to them.
Yu Jing nodded, "Exactly." ”
"Who are you Yu Nanli?" Yu Nanli is the name of Emperor Nanling, Bai Ling thought very simply, and asked very straightforwardly. However, after all, it is the name of the emperor, how can ordinary people be allowed to call it directly? The secret guards hidden among the pilgrims around were ready to move, although the prince ordered not to disturb the pilgrims in the female disciple's temple, but this girl with a delicate face suddenly appeared and asked so many strange questions, which was really alarming.
Yu Jing was also slightly stunned, and showed a little smile, "The person the girl asked is Xiaosheng's father......"
"Your Highness!"
Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was about to know everything, the nearest guard hurriedly ran over to interrupt him. The guard was dressed in a low-key plain robe, but the murderous aura on his body could not be concealed, and his eyes were full of vigilance when he looked at Bai Ling.
Bai Ling had already noticed them, and it wasn't that she didn't know what she was asking, so she was offended, but she just wanted to see if these Nanling people were really as weird as rumored.
Now it seems that at least the Nanling boy in front of him who has traveled thousands of miles to worship the gods is no different from them Xiling people. On the contrary, he is patient and polite, pure and good like a little white rabbit.
"It's okay, it's no secret that I came to the female disciple's shrine to worship this time, so you can step down." And the little white rabbit in her eyes turned his head to appease the guard, and explained to her, "He is my close attendant, because of the recent changes in his family, so he is a little nervous, don't be afraid." ”
