"You just said that the purple lotus only began to emit fragrance before it bloomed, but what about before? And after it has bloomed, how can the believers cultivate? ”

Liang Shi laughed, sure enough, every new member of the sect would ask this question. He couldn't even remember how many times he had answered.

"This fellow Daoist. The purple lotus blooms once every 1,000 years, and each flowering will last for a hundred years, even before flowering, the bud period is also fifty or sixty years. Now that the purple lotus is about to bloom, the two Daoists have caught up with the good time. After the purple lotus blooms, the aroma will rise by one level compared to now, and the quality of the fragrance will continue to improve after that, until that time......"

Liang Shi said a lot, and Gui Yuan interrupted impatiently: "That means that this fragrance will be gone in another hundred years?" And what about a hundred years from now? What about 100 years from now? ”

Liang Shi sneered: "This purple lotus is a holy relic from the divine realm, and it is a rare treasure even if it is brought to the Emperor of Heaven. We mortal realm cultivators, it is already a great opportunity to be able to obtain a hundred years of aroma cultivation, where can we dare to be greedy anymore! ”

Gui Yuan was dissatisfied, this mortal realm monk was really arrogant and short-sighted, and was just about to reprimand two sentences, when she suddenly received the transmission of Shen Chen's divine sense, she was stunned, thought about it a little, and gave up the idea just now.

Liang Shi also knew that he was a little rude just now, now in the troubled times, capable people are each dominant, and the flames of war are raging, it is really not easy for a monk like them to survive, if the Holy Sect can recruit such a Taoist friend who is a profound cultivator in front of him, and is not like a brutal person, it will be beneficial to themselves and the Holy Sect. If he can't recruit people, he will offend people and ruin Zilian and leave, and he won't be able to cry!

At this time, Guiyuan accepted the heart of reprimand and continued to act: "This purple lotus is so precious, you are so arrogant about this?" Aren't you afraid of being robbed? ”

Liang Shi saw that Guiyuan was not angry, and secretly rejoiced, and hurriedly replied: "Daoist friends don't know, this purple lotus can only grow in a fixed place, and once it grows, it can't move the place. And there is a ban at the exit, blocking the dispersion of aura, although there is still a fragrance overflowing, but the name of Yunxiang Mountain has been known for a long time, and no one has found anything abnormal. Now that the high priest founded the Purple Lotus Holy Sect, this reputation has just spread, but the high priest's cultivation is profound, and he is not afraid even if he is young. ”

Gui Yuan only felt admired, this Liang Shi's words were full of loopholes, but this guy's expression was quite unserious earlier, but as long as Zilian or their "Holy Sect" was mentioned, they all looked pious and solemn, I don't know if it was the god stick who was skilled, or if it was really reverence from the heart.

Silence Chen had not spoken all this time, and only then did he ask, "The Purple Lotus Holy Sect was founded by Master Haoxiang?" ”

Liang Shi: "Exactly. The high priest is a gentleman with a big heart. Thirty years ago, he discovered this place and recognized it as a rare purple fragrant lotus in the divine realm. Now that the outside world is surging, it is becoming more and more difficult for us and other low-level monks to survive, and the treasures of the divine realm have inexplicably appeared here, and the high priest deduces that this must be a gift from heaven, leaving a glimmer of hope for our low-level monks to survive and cultivate, so the high priest can't bear to enjoy this great opportunity alone, and specially founded the Purple Lotus Holy Sect here. In the name of the Purple Lotus, one is to thank God for his gifts, and the other is to let the congregation not forget the grace of heaven......"

Gui Yuan only felt a faint pain in his temples, this Liang Shi was too able to nag, just a simple question, do you need to say so many irrelevant things? Well, maybe in his eyes, every word he says is relevant, right? Especially the few lines that sing praises to virtue.

Shan Chen looked at Gui Yuan with a smile, this Nizi has been impatient since she woke up, and she didn't know that this Purple Lotus Holy Sect could make her interested for a few days.

"I see. Elder Liang, the two of us have come from afar and want to take a break, I wonder if we can borrow a cave mansion to use it? It was easy to wait for Liang Shi to stop, and then Lonely Chen opened his mouth to borrow the land.

Rest? Liang Shi thought about it, they may be really tired, too, although he is also a monk and rarely feels tired, but he has heard many Taoist friends say that they are tired and need to rest. It seems that this should be the relationship between physique, and a strong man like himself is not easy to get tired, hehe, or my mother is right, eat well, eat more, and be healthy when you grow fat.

Guiyuan doesn't know his psychological activities, if he knows, I'm afraid he will vomit blood, and the fat man only has the face of a profiteer, but he is actually a fool at all?

Liang Shi arranged a lower cave for the two, sent the two to the door and left.

This cave is no different from the temporary residence opened by ordinary immortal cultivators in the mountains and wilderness, the entrance is a hall, and there are two doors next to it, and the specific size is not much different from the hall. Probably because it was uninhabited, there was no furniture in it, only a few futons were placed on the ground, and if there was an owner, it could be used by the owner temporarily.

After Guiyuan and Shanchen entered the cave mansion, they casually placed a ban on him, and then asked him, "What did you mean by the transmission you gave me just now?" ”

Silent Chen smiled, and was not in a hurry to answer. Take out two futons from the storage weapon and place them on the ground. These two futons are what they are used to, and neither of them is comparable in terms of rank and appearance inherent in this room.

Pulling Gui Yuan to sit down, Shan Chen began to say: "You talked to that Liang Shi just now, and I have been watching him, although he has not finished speaking, he has not lied to deceive you and me. ”

Gui Yuan pouted: "I know, just because he is a little monk in the Qi cultivation period, how can I not even tell if he is telling the truth?" ”

Silence: "All he knows is what the big demon said, and in my opinion, the big demon should not have deceived him." ”

Gui Yuanqi said: "What do you mean by this?" Is there still some mystery in this? ”

Silence: "That big demon called that purple lotus a purple fragrant lotus, and there is indeed such a flower in the divine realm, and its appearance is almost the same as the lotus flower in the pool. ”

Gui Yuan: "Oh? Seeing you say that, it's not actually a purple pandan lotus? ”

Silence nodded: "That's right." If it weren't for this pool of water, I would have thought it was a purple fragrant lotus. ”

It turns out that the original name of the lotus flower in this blue water should be called the moon lotus, which is named after its lotus pod. There are a total of ten lotus seeds in the lotus canopy holding the moon lotus, nine small and one large, and nine small lilac lotus seeds evenly surround the largest purple lotus seed in the center, like the stars holding the moon. Like the purple fragrant lotus, the moon lotus also has a budding period of several decades and a flowering period of one hundred years. However, the purple fragrant lotus blooms once every thousand years, and the moon lotus blooms once every ten thousand years.

"And," said Shanchen, "the fragrance of the purple fragrant lotus is not only this hundred years, after a hundred years of flowering, the lotus seeds of the purple fragrant lotus fall into the water after maturity, so that the pool water contains the aroma, according to the amount of water in the pond, the lotus seeds of this purple fragrant lotus are integrated into the water enough to support the pond water to emit the fragrance until the next bud period." The moon lotus is different, its fragrance does not only come from the lotus, its root can also exude fragrance. ”

Gui Yuan: "So whether it's a purple fragrant lotus or a moon lotus, they can actually exude fragrance all the time. So where did you tell that this was a moon lotus instead of a purple fragrant lotus? ”

Shanchen talked a lot about this, not telling her from the beginning, just to guide her to think more. Although under the laws of heaven and earth, people's souls are the most exquisite, even if there is only one soul and one soul, as long as they can survive, guide and support, the rest of the two souls and six spirits will eventually grow, but if they are left to fend for themselves, then they may never be consummated. Today's Guiyuan, sometimes clever and sometimes confused, sometimes brave and sometimes cowardly, sometimes gentle and sometimes violent, are all due to the fact that the soul is incomplete and is giving birth to a new soul, which has caused the confusion and impermanence of the mind. Therefore, Shanchen is willing to guide her, so that she can sort out her emotions under self-reflection and not be suddenly chaotic.

Silence: "Didn't I tell you just now?" It was Tan Shui who told me. If you hold the moon lotus, the color of the pool water is the light blue color of today - this is the color of the general pool water. If the turquoise lotus seeds of the purple fragrant lotus are melted into the water, the water will become extremely green, like an emerald color. The lotus seeds holding the moon lotus are purple, and even if they are blended into the water, they will not be blue. Moreover, the lotus seeds holding the moon lotus will not melt into the water, and if no one picks them, the lotus seeds will eventually disappear. ”

"Disappear? How did it disappear? Where did they go? ”

Originally, Guiyuan was still thinking, with such a beautiful name and color, the lotus seed holding the moon lotus must be very beautiful, seeing that this lotus is about to bloom, if she picks this lotus seed and wears it into a bracelet, isn't it also extremely beautiful? But Shanchen said that they would disappear, how could she not be anxious?

Lonely Chen smiled, this little girl's thoughts were all on her face, "Don't worry." The lotus seeds will disappear if no one picks them, as long as they are picked before then. ”

Only then did Gui Yuan rest assured, "That's good." Well? Why is Lonely Chen a little sullen? Could it be that these lotus seeds are not so easy to pick? ”

Lin Chen shook his head, "It's not that it's hard to pick, it's very easy to pick that lotus seed, just like the mortal lotus flower in the mortal world." It's just that...... It's just that this moon lotus opens once it is ten thousand years old, and it is only open for those who are destined. If someone who has no fate picks it, then the lotus seed is just an ordinary and good-looking lotus seed, and if someone who is destined picks it......"

Guiyuan was very curious, and saw that Shanchen's voice was getting lower and lower, and finally she couldn't hear it with her ears, so she couldn't help but ask anxiously: "What will happen if someone who is destined picks it up?" ”

With a faint sigh, Shan Chen replied: "Holding the Moon Lotus is not a treasure of the heavenly realm, but an ancient species that has existed since the time of chaos. The largest lotus seed is the main lotus, and the nine smaller ones are auxiliary lotus. Legend has it that the main lotus will be combined with the destined person, so that the human lotus will be one, and this person will obtain the divine power of the heavens, and will also become the lord of the person who combines with the remaining nine auxiliary lotus. Even those nine auxiliary lotuses are not casually combined with people, and those who are selected by them are not people with excellent qualifications and are chosen by the Heavenly Dao. With such a lord assisted by nine people, it can be said that he has the power to defy the sky! ”
