Chapter 2 Candlesticks on the Word
I was a little distracted for a while, and looked up at the plaque of the Taoist temple, Qingfeng Temple.
This is the female Taoist nunnery, and the practitioners in it should all be female Taoists, and the two female Taoists who opened the door to welcome the guests were quite fairy-like, and they really didn't understand what there was to be afraid of with an otherworldly female Taoist priest in front of them.
I put my heart down, and hurriedly said calmly.
"Kun Dao is polite, we are on Longhu Mountain to participate in the Xuanmen competition, the road is at the end of Qingfeng Nunnery, want to borrow the road, please Kun Dao is convenient."
In Taoism, the male Taoist priest is called Gandao, and the female Taoist priest is called Kun Dao, and seeing that she is holding Buddha dust should also be a Taoist priest who welcomes guests.
"The layman is blessed with immeasurable longevity, and the text of the nine caves of the three songs can be brought." The female Taoist priest on my left returned the salute, and her voice was ethereal.
I asked Yue Qianling to take out the document that the void child handed over to me and send it to the female Taoist.
"Since the laymen are on Longhu Mountain to participate in the Xuanmen competition, they need to stamp the seal of the Sanqu Nine Caves Immortal Mansion on this document, Qingfeng Nunnery is the first hole, the host has been waiting for the text in the main hall, it is late today, first send the document to the host's hand, and tomorrow the laymen will go to pick it up by themselves." The female Taoist priest did not take the document in my hand, exhaling like Lan and indifferent like water, no matter how you look at it, it is not as dangerous as the void said, and my tense nerves have been slightly relaxed.
Hearing the female Taoist priest say this, I nodded hurriedly, according to their meaning, it is necessary to send the document over first, and wait until tomorrow to stamp the seal and we will go back to get it back, I admit that my current thoughts are the same as Ye Qingyu, as if the extremely difficult and complicated things that I originally thought of suddenly became easy and simple, maybe it was the reason why there were two female Taoist priests standing in front of them, who were otherworldly and beautiful, and there was no sinister meaning in it.
After all, there is a difference between men and women, since the host is waiting for the text, I asked Yue Qianling to follow the female Taoist priest to send the document over first, who knows that as soon as the words came out, they were interrupted by the female Taoist.
"Wen Jushi don't come unharmed, the host last time and Wen Jushi discussed goodbye for a few months, I heard that this time Wen Jushi also participated in the Xuanmen competition, I have been waiting for a long time, the host has a special order, if Wen Jushi comes, please bring Wen Mu over in person, and preside over in the main hall to wait."
All of us were stunned for a moment, and then turned our heads in surprise to look at Wen Zhuo, who was shrinking at the end, it turned out that Wen Zhuo had been here before, and he wanted to come more than once, otherwise it would be impossible for him to bury his head so low, and the female Taoist priest who opened the door to welcome the guests could also recognize him at a glance.
Wen Zhuo heard the female Taoist priest say this, probably knew that he was seen, and when he looked up, the corners of his mouth hung with an extremely unnatural and flustered smile, rubbed his forehead and walked up in fear, took the document from my hand, and when he passed by me, I saw the fine sweat on his forehead.
"I'll go with you." I saw that Wen Zhuo's reaction today was extremely abnormal, and I was worried that something would happen to him.
"Okay." Wen Zhuo couldn't help nodding, as if what was waiting for him in front of him was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire.
"The host instructed, wait for one of the monks, and the other monks will go to rest with me first." The female Taoist priest said very politely, with a shallow smile on her face that was not touching the world, Wen Zhuo's expression full of joy instantly dimmed, no matter how you look at him, he has been in fear of life and death.
Wen Zhuo glanced up at me, then looked at the others, smiled miserably, a bit like the feeling of generosity, took the document from my hand, wanted to say something, but finally sighed heavily, buried his head very low like a child who had done something wrong, and timidly followed one of the female Taoist priests in, I vaguely heard Wen Zhuo muttering helplessly.
I shouldn't have come......
Waiting for Wen Zhuo to disappear from our sight, Ye Qingyu should have seen Wen Zhuo's expression before leaving, and he was a little worried, and walked to me with his mouth pursed and asked.
He ...... He's going to be fine, right? ”
I haven't been worried about this, Longhu Mountain is the orthodoxy of Taoism in the ancestral court of Taoism, and if you can be the host of Qingfeng Nunnery, you must be a respected master of Taoism, even if it is a real knife and a real gun fighting competition, it is also dignified, this 20-year Xuanmen competition is a Taoist ceremony, and there will definitely be no hidden arrows to hurt people and sneak attacks.
What's more, I heard the female Taoist priest before say that Wen Zhuo should know the host, and they discussed the Tao together before, presumably it must be old knowledge, and letting Wen Zhuo go alone should be just to talk about the past.
I am so relieved that Ye Qingyu and others, in fact, I am also comforting myself, although I said so, but Wen Zhuo was obviously afraid of being like that when he left, he was also a god in his previous life, and no matter how bad he is, he can be in charge of the government of thunder for thirty-six days, not to mention Wen Zhuo's cynicism and the people who are calm in the Three Realms, I still can't figure out how powerful the host of this Qingfeng Nunnery is, which can make Wen Zhuo worry about being like that.
Qingfeng Nunnery is full of female Taoists, all of them are extraordinary and delicate, the nunnery is colorful and antique, although the land of Taoism is solemn, but there are some women's tenderness throughout it, even the side room is cleaned up in an orderly manner, although the food sent over is widowed but shows the craftsmanship, it may be that I have not eaten well in a coma these days, and a table of light meals was swept away by me.
At night, Yue Qianling, Gu Anqi and Ye Qingyu were arranged to go to the inner courtyard, when they left, Wen Zhuo had not come back, Ye Qingyu was obviously in a trance, and he was worried about Wen Zhuo's safety, I said that it was okay, it should be a little late to discuss with the host.
I said this in my mouth, but I still had no confidence in my heart, and finally Ye whispered before following Yue Qianling and them left, Xiao Lianshan and I waited for Wen Zhuo in the room, until the middle of the night, I heard the sound of someone pushing the door, Wen Zhuo was still buried when he came back, Xiao Lianshan and I were relieved to see him come back safe and sound, but this relief only lasted for a moment.
Wen Zhuo was disheveled, his eyes flickered, obviously avoiding the scrutinizing gaze of me and Xiao Lianshan, and he sat on the stool and poured water extremely unnaturally.
"You...... Are you sure you're going to deliver papers? Xiao Lianshan frowned and asked seriously. Why do I look at you like you're going to fight? ”
"On the word." Wen Zhuo replied absentmindedly while drinking water.
"The Tao is to sit and forget the quiet emptiness, and the original mind of the Dao of Enlightenment should be as calm as water......" I was also puzzled to see Wen Zhuo's current expression and appearance. You are also a person in the temple with the position of God, it stands to reason that your cultivation is too much higher than this Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain, how can you talk about the Tao and come back like being robbed? ”
"The presiding cultivator of Qingfeng Nunnery is comparable to that of heaven and man, and he has benefited a lot from his arguments, and he is ...... in the Tao."
"Are you sure you're going to talk about the Tao?!" Xiao Lianshan's hand slowly lifted from the collar at the back of Wen Zhuo's neck, Wen Zhuo's words only stopped halfway, and his face changed suddenly and he looked at Xiao Lianshan's hand at a loss.
A piece of green silk was pulled out of Wen Zhuo's clothes by Xiao Lianshan, it was obvious that this hair was longer than any of Wen Zhuo's, Xiao Lianshan thought about it, put the long hair on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and said with certainty that this hair has the smell of Taoist incense candles, so it will definitely not be Yue Qianling, Ye Qingyue and Gu Anqi.
"Lord...... Hosted. Wen Zhuo glanced at Xiao Lianshan and explained incoherently.
"Can you put the head of the host on you?" Xiao Lianshan is straightforward, he didn't mean anything else when he asked this, he just wanted to understand one thing, saying that it sounds good is persistent, and if it doesn't sound good, it is called stubbornness, but as soon as he asked this, I couldn't help laughing.
Wen Zhuo stared at Xiao Lianshan speechlessly, rubbing his face desperately with his hands, and it took a long time to hold back his words.
"The presiding over the Tao is profound, at first it was about the Dao, and then it was about the Dao, and then it was discussed with the presiding fight, which may have been accidentally contaminated."
"How to fight? I've seen you fight with other people, you are all powerful people, and the fighting method is also a move......"
"Xiao Lianshan, you have no end, you have said that it is a fighting method." Wen Zhuo couldn't resist interrupting Xiao Lianshan's constant questions at all, perhaps realizing that he was reacting too much, seeing that Xiao Lianshan and I were both looking at him in surprise, he smiled weakly. "You also know that Qingfeng Nunnery is full of female Taoists, and it is inevitable that there will be long hair, and it is normal to get wet, so why make a fuss."
Xiao Lianshan's stubbornness lies in the fact that he won't stop if he can't find an answer to anything, he actually puts away that hair, and mutters to himself in his mouth.
"I'm going to see the host tomorrow anyway, I'll just ask you......"
"You don't want to live anymore, you take this to ask the host!" Xiao Lianshan jumped up from the stool, completely crazy like a child, snatched the hair in Xiao Lianshan's hand regardless of it, and only relieved himself when he watched it burn. "This host is very fierce, don't provoke ......"
I saw that Wen Zhuo was in a mess as soon as he mentioned the host, and he was able to be the host of Qingfeng Nunnery in Longhu Mountain, and he discussed the fighting method with Wen Zhuo, which made Wen Zhuo so embarrassed, which shows how unfathomable this host is.
"Wen Zhuo, this is the first level of the Nine Caves of Sanqu, since you know the host here, it must be inevitable that you will have a showdown with the host tomorrow, with your understanding of the host, what do you think we have a chance of winning?"
"This ...... Don't ask me about this, I'll help you with everything, I'm afraid you will have to deal with this Qingfeng An's matter yourself, and I don't think I can help Ming'er. Wen Zhuo didn't even think about shaking his head and replied.
"You told my brother a few days ago that you will never lose up, and now you can't help?" Xiao Lianshan asked with a smile.
Wen Zhuo was forced speechless by Xiao Lianshan, slapped his head and scratched a few handfuls, and said to me anxiously.
"In short, you will be careful everywhere tomorrow, it's not that I won't help, it's that I can't help, this host and I have too deep grievances, if I help, it will backfire, it will really provoke the host, not to mention going to Longhu Mountain, I think it's better to go back home."
"Can't you win with your Dao cultivation?" I was surprised to hear Zhuo say this.
"This ...... It's not a question of winning or losing...... Hey, I can't tell. Wen Zhuo waved his hand and asked us not to ask again, holding the water glass and suddenly asked meaningfully. By the way, emperor, a few days ago you were in a coma, I saw Yue Qianling holding a bronze mirror in her hand, saying that it was given to her by you, it seems to be very important to her, what is the origin? ”
"Oh, I bought it in the ghost market when I first met her, an ordinary imitation, with no origin."
"You are also an emperor, and you can also give away imitations." Wen Zhuo smiled disapprerovingly and continued to ask. "Since there is no origin, then why did Yue Qianling become like that?"
"Because of the above two sentences, I wanted to tell her at the time but didn't know how to say it, so I gave her the bronze mirror, hoping that she could understand." Thinking of Yue Qianling's appearance when she received the bronze mirror, I replied with a faint smile.
"Two sentences to understand?" Wen Zhuo took a sip of water and looked at me in disbelief. "What the hell?"
"The rivers and mountains are endless, the most beautiful people in the mirror."
Poof.
Wen Zhuo squirted a mouthful of water out of his mouth, and then wiped the water stains on the corners of his mouth with a meaningful smile.
"I didn't see it, I usually see your old city duty, and it's quite bright to move your mind."
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" I asked curiously.
Wen Zhuo didn't answer me, and went back to the room with a mysterious expression, letting us rest early while walking, I'm afraid it won't be too easy tomorrow.
