Chapter 49: Unfathomable
Silence Chen looked at the moon lotus, and his heart that had not been moved by anything other than Guiyuan for thousands of years was throbbing because of it.
The so-called avenue is fifty, Tianyan is forty-nine, and the moon lotus is the only variable that exists, unknowable and imperceptible. With his current cultivation, if it is a matter within the Heavenly Dao, no matter whether it is good or bad, he will be more or less sensitive. At this time, although he felt something, it was more from himself, and he was just afraid after learning that it was the moon lotus. What is he afraid of? He is not afraid of going against the sky, he is not afraid of being subordinate to others, he is afraid that he can't even control his own heart, and he is afraid that when he can't even control his own heart, he will no longer be able to love Guiyuan. If that's the case, he'd rather be wiped out, but he's afraid that he won't even be able to die at that time.
In the residence of the High Priest of the Purple Lotus Holy Sect, Great Elder Liang Shi was reporting to Master Haoxiang, who was sitting in the middle of the throne, and Li Qing, the left protector, was standing beside him.
Master Haoxiang: "So, they are looking for a place to live?" ”
Liang Shi: "Exactly, except for the profound cultivation, it is no different from other Taoist friends. The woman seemed innocent and romantic, and the man was taciturn. It was the woman who spoke to me, but it was the man who called the shots. ”
Master Haoxiang nodded: "I also think that man is unfathomable. ”
If Gui Yuan heard this here, he would really be annoyed, although the cultivation of Shang Shanchen is better, but in fact, she is in charge, right? Well, well, in fact, this time it was indeed because of Lonely Chen's reminder that she didn't do it immediately, well, it seems that it was a few times before?
Master Haoxiang: "In that case, let them wait and see." If we can stay, it's the best, if we can't, we don't have a chance. ”
Liang Shi: "Yes." ”
Master Haoxiang sighed: "Now that the world is so chaotic, but he refuses to come back in the middle of the night, he has to guard the one surnamed Qiu in the mortal world, but the one surnamed Qiu has no spiritual roots, and there is no possibility of cultivating immortals at all!" ”
Liang Shi: "The high priest doesn't have to worry, although the immortal cultivation world is a little chaotic, it has nothing to do with mortals. Miss Midnight may be safer in the mortal world than here. Although that Qiu Qianyan doesn't have much skills, he is a good person, and he will definitely be able to take care of Miss Midnight. ”
Master Haoxiang: "Alas, I have never done a single evil thing in my life, only this time...... Then Qiu Qianyan was threatened by me, can he still take good care of Midnight? ”
Liang Shi: "That Qiu Qianyan's character is not bad, he also knows that Miss Midnight doesn't know, and Miss Midnight is as beautiful as a flower, virtuous and virtuous, plus there is a father like the high priest who cultivates deeply, it is not a little better than that Nuan Qiansheng, he will like Miss Midnight sooner or later." Taking 10,000 steps back, even if he can't forget Nuan Qiansheng, with his character, since he promised to marry Miss Midnight, he will naturally take care of Miss Midnight. ”
Master Haoxiang: "I hope so. ”
The left protector Li Qing held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and the tip of the scabbard had already touched the ground. He stood there with his eyes down, motionless, as if carved out of stone. Only when the Venerable Master Haoxiang mentioned midnight, his hands tightened, and then they returned to their original state, and the two people who were close at hand did not notice it at all. Moreover, including Li Qing, none of the three people in the room noticed that Lonely Chen's divine sense had been observing them, but Lonely Chen's divine consciousness was too strong for them, and the three of them were unaware.
The corners of Lonely Chen's mouth curled, this Li Qing was very interesting. He glanced at Gui Yuan, who was still cultivating. Since Guiyuan woke up, his heart has become very soft, he is both curious and important about love, and the most unbearable thing is that a lover can't be a dependent, and he can't bear to see people cry sadly. If he did some tricks to "fulfill" Li Qing, Xiao Yuan'er would definitely be very happy.
Gui Yuan, who was cultivating, didn't know that Shanchen was already planning for her, and had figured out how to make her happy. Immersed in cultivation, not only did she not know what Lonely Chen thought, but she even threw aside the original intention of coming to Yunxiang Mountain, forgetting that there was a poor infatuated lover waiting for her good news in Nuanyang City a hundred miles away.
When Guiyuan woke up from his meditation, it was already a few hours later, and it happened that Liang Shi invited them to the banquet in the name of the Venerable Master Haoxiang.
The monk's feast can be complicated or simple, and what Master Haoxiang has prepared is obviously a simple one. There is only a pot of wine, a pot of tea, a plate of fruit and a stack of snacks on their respective tables, fortunately, they are all spiritual objects, otherwise this "banquet" will be shabby and home.
Master Haoxiang smiled and said, "There are no good things in the poor countryside, which makes the distinguished guests smile. ”
Silence raised his glass: "The Venerable Master is very respectful, and I am honored to be treated. ”
Obviously, there was not much to do, but the guests and hosts were still in high spirits, and a banquet lasted for two hours. This is the banquet of the monks, and there are not many times when the mortal monks can get together, and occasionally there are times when there are names that can get together, most of them are not for eating and drinking, but more for the exchange of ideas and information. In this way, Gui Yuan and Shan Chen are masters of long-term retreat and ignorance of external affairs, and the Purple Lotus Holy Sect is a pure land that can survive in the "troubled times". Both sides have their own needs, and naturally the guests and hosts are happy.
After a banquet, Guiyuan and Shanchen also successfully obtained the qualifications to join the church. Because the two of them are highly cultivated, but they don't oppress the lord, the boss of the Purple Lotus Holy Sect is still the high priest Hao Xiang, and the two of them have won the position of Elder Keqing, and they can be regarded as half of the Purple Lotus Holy Sect's people, and they don't have much power, but they don't need to be constrained much. Both sides were very satisfied with this result and were very happy.
Elder Keqing is just a fictitious position, he cultivates in the sect on weekdays, and he can go out when he has nothing to do; Accepting offerings from the congregation, but also contributing to the Cult when the Cult encounters enemies or has other tasks, it is generally a quiet position.
After the dinner, the Venerable Master Hao Xiang gathered all the congregations and announced the two new guest elders. The so-called "all the cultists" are only two or three hundred, plus some who have gone out and have not returned, there are about four hundred people in the Purple Lotus Holy Sect. According to Liang Shi, this is already a middle-class sect in this world. Lonely Chen secretly transmitted a message to Guiyuan, saying that this was a normal situation. Because the situation of the Nuan Xuan Domain is special, it has always been respected by mortals, and the monks are pitiful, even if the Heavenly Dao changes, the Nuan Xuan Domain will not be able to change too much for a while.
Gui Yuan didn't care about the scale of the Purple Lotus Holy Sect, no matter how many people there were, in her eyes they were just ants, dozens of ants were trampled to death, and hundreds were the same. It's just that now that there are no drastic changes in Nuanxuan's domain, she is happy, which shows that maybe the legendary "destined person" has not been born at all.
The disciples of the Purple Lotus Holy Sect are basically cultivators in the Qi refining period, and only a few Dharma protectors and elders are in the foundation building stage, at this level, it can be said that Gui Yuan can wipe them out with a wave of his hand. With the strength of Guiyuan and Lonely Chen, there is no need to condescend to play any game of micro-service private visits with them. However, the two of them are not tyrannical and murderous people, and if no one disobeys the way of heaven, they naturally cannot disregard human life. Under the way of heaven, all things have the qualification to survive.
The monks present have some cultivators and demon cultivators, their qualifications and cultivation are uneven, and there are no good magic weapons on their bodies, if you use any words to describe them, the first thing that Guiyuan thinks of is: Hanqi - this Purple Lotus Holy Sect is also too poor. From this point of view, the previous "banquet" may have really made them bleed. Most of the monks' eyes flashed with joy, obviously the Holy Sect had added two masters at once, which greatly enhanced the strength of the Holy Sect, making their survival power improve a lot.
Guiyuan's powerful divine consciousness enveloped everyone, and he was speechless to find that except for a few who were a little careful, most of the monks here were honest and honest, and they didn't know how the Venerable Master Haoxiang had gathered so many living treasures together and had not been served by other sects. With so many people having similar qualities, could it be that this Master Haoxiang has a physique that specifically attracts the elderly? At the same time, Gui Yuan also hesitated, the capital is like things, people are grouped, and the Master Haoxiang, who specializes in recruiting honest people, will be an evil demon cultivator? She thought of Qiu Qianyan in Nuanxuan City, and she could see clearly that he didn't lie to her. It seems that this matter still has to fall on Master Haoxiang.
Unexpectedly, there were several monks from other sects in the Purple Lotus Holy Sect who came to visit the sect, and these monks learned that the Purple Lotus Holy Sect had added two new masters, and immediately sent a message back to their respective sects.
For this kind of long-faced thing, the Venerable Master Haoxiang and others naturally would not refuse, and announced on the spot that a celebration ceremony would be held in three days, and at the same time invited all sects to come and watch the ceremony. The position is that the second elder named Zhang Quan was instructed to be in charge of arranging this celebration, and Gui Yuan heard him recite the names of some sects, which needed to be invited. Guiyuan listened, there are still many sects: Daowang Sect, Datong Sect, Xile Sect, Dihang Sect, etc., it can be seen that there are indeed many large and small sects around. Gui Yuan guessed that it might be because he came from the direction of the mortal world, so he didn't know that there were so many sects hidden in this mountain group.
After officially joining the church, Liang Shi rearranged the cave house for Guiyuan, which was on the second floor from the ground, which is said to be the most expensive floor. The cave mansions of the high priests, elders, Dharma protectors, and others, as well as the places where the "high-level" of the Holy Sect discussed and decided were all on the second floor. Liang Shi said that the third to fourth floors are also reserved for important people in the church. The cave on the first floor is basically the "office" of the Holy Sect, and every elder, Dharma protector, etc., will go to the first floor when they are on duty, so as to facilitate the handling of affairs in the sect. If some members of the sect have something to do, they can go directly to the first floor to find the elder on duty. Elder Keqing is also on duty, and now there are a total of two Elders Keqing in the entire Purple Lotus Holy Sect, originally they were one person to guard for ten years, but Guiyuan and Silent Chen have never been separated, and after the two discussed with Liang Shi, they became two people on duty together, but they were only on duty in the first half of the day, and they were off on duty on the next day. Elder Keqing was just a fictitious officer, and naturally he didn't have any exact general affairs to deal with, so he just stayed there to answer the doubts about cultivation for the sect members or talk about his own cultivation experience, which was very relaxed.
