Chapter 50: Gathering of Guests ( 1 )
Jialong 1854 years at the beginning of the ninth month.
On this day, Lintianmen ushered in a new session of the 100-year-old young disciple competition.
Three thousand years ago, the fifth generation of Lintian Pavilion Master Su Chao brewed the first altar of bamboo leaf green;
Two thousand four hundred years ago, all the old drunkards in Lintianmen started a fierce war of words because of the distribution of the bamboo leaves brewed every three hundred years, and the last eighteen pots of wine.
Two thousand and one hundred years ago, the old drunkards of Lintianmen finally agreed to hold a big competition for young disciples every hundred years on the premise of cultivating disciples, and included these eighteen pots of wine in three times in the rewards of the top three in the big competition.
Today, it is the twenty-second young disciple of Lintian.
......
In the early morning, on the roof of the courtyard attached to the ancestral hall in the back mountain, the falling forest practiced cross-legged qi as usual, and the stove room opposite still echoed the snoring sound of black bamboo.
Just as the red sun was rising, Luo Lin slowly opened his eyes, his face was calm, full of energy, he slowly got up and stretched his waist.
"Hey, it's a new day. ”
Luo Lin, who had completely woken up from Qi cultivation, returned to his appearance again, jumped off the roof, and glanced at the stove room.
"I sleep like a pig all day long, my strength is getting more and more perverted, people are not as good as dogs, and there is nothing more angry in life than this. ”
After talking to himself and despising the black bamboo, Luo Lin retracted his gaze, took a deep breath, and began his morning homework to practice the Nine Styles of Refining the Body, which is also a compulsory practice for Luo Lin every day.
When the sun fully rose and illuminated the entire back mountain, a figure in the distance swayed lightly, quietly coming to the attached courtyard, and did not disturb the falling forest in the cultivation, but also followed the cultivation of the Nine Forms of Body Refining.
Ye Mengxin is like this, whenever she comes over to see the falling forest cultivating, she will not disturb the falling forest, sometimes she will practice with the falling forest as she is today, sometimes she will go around the back mountain twice, and often run to the leaf falling forest, sit on the big stone and whisper to the name of the person on the stone.
In fact, Luo Lin also sensed Ye Mengxin's arrival, but he would not interrupt his cultivation, because there was no longer that need, he knew that after his cultivation, Ye Mengxin would still be there, and he also knew that if he interrupted his cultivation and played with Ye Mengxin, Ye Mengxin would be unhappy and ignore him angrily.
This is their tacit understanding all along, and it is a tacit understanding that many people will envy, but how many people can really understand this tacit understanding, and the tacit understanding will not be there overnight and smooth sailing.
......
When Luo Lin finished cultivating the Nine Forms of Body Refining, Ye Mengxin had not finished cultivating, so Luo Lin naturally didn't bother, and ran to the well to fetch water to wash by himself.
When Ye Mengxin also finished cultivating, Luolin woke up Heizhu, and the two of them went to Ye Luolin to hunt and fill their stomachs......
"Brother Luolin, all factions will send people to watch the ceremony today. ”
"Well, let's go, let's go see. ”
A cold light appeared in Luo Lin's eyes, and then slowly disappeared, and after that, Luo Lin and the others went to Lintian Square.
Although the real big competition is carried out on the martial arts training platform after crossing the backwater bridge, the welcome guests still have to pick up guests in Lintian Square first, and then go to the Lintian Hall to be polite, and finally go to the martial arts platform to watch the competition between disciples.
They came to Lintian Square, but the Lintian Square in front of them was very different from what they saw yesterday.
I saw that in the middle of Lintian Square, there was a circular pattern carpet twice the diameter of Lintian Square, and the word Lintian was embroidered on the carpet, and the north and south ends of the circular carpet were connected with crimson walking carpets.
The carpet to the north runs through the bridge and extends to the Lintian Hall.
The carpet to the south passes the thirty-three steps, and there is a small circular patterned carpet at the reception desk, but this carpet is not embroidered, and further south, the crimson walking carpet is spread to the bottom of the ninety-nine steps.
On both sides of the ninety-nine steps, the edge of the welcome platform and the Lintian Square, the five bridges on the Xuanwu Pond, and the pavilions of each hall, you can see the banner embroidered with the word Lintian everywhere, which is waving in the wind.
And along the way, you can see that there are hundreds of floating lights printed with the word Lintian in the air, as if they are controlled by the formation, and they are regularly floating around the entire Lintian Peak, and each floating lamp is also hung with the banner of "Lintian Twenty-second Young Disciple Dabi".
From the ninety-ninth step to the Lintian Hall, there are deacon disciples standing guard at every distance, ready to greet and guide the visitors of various factions, and the entire Lintian Peak is upright and high-spirited, a magnificent scene.
......
"Hahaha, after living a handful of years, these hundred years should be the most diligent in this life. ”
At this time, in front of the ninety-nine steps of Lintian Peak, a figure fell from a high sky, and although it descended quickly, it landed very steadily, and said with a laugh as soon as it landed.
"Hey, who said it wasn't, the owner of the Oriental Island said this to the heart of the poor monk, and the old bones of the poor monk have indeed been tossed enough in the past hundred years. ”
Just before the first person landed on the ground could speak, another figure followed closely behind, echoing.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the first person to land on the ground then spoke:
"Master, it's a joke, your Sanskrit Sect is much closer than my Donghuangdao, just walk two steps away and there will be lively watching, and there is wine to drink, why not. ”
"Ahem, this road is naturally not as far as Donghuangdao, but this wine is not a blessing for the poor monks, if it weren't for my senior brother every time he takes the retreat as an excuse, regardless of it, the poor monks don't have to invite this sin, the poor monks would rather eat fast and chant Buddha in the sect with peace of mind, and realize my Buddha road. ”
"Hahaha, the Eastern Island Lord and Master Lukong have worked hard all the way, I wonder if you came alone this time, or did you bring a young disciple with you?"
In the gap between the two talking, Shi Feng, the deacon elder of the Lintian Pavilion, had already seen the two of them coming to Lintian Peak, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them and asked.
It turned out that the first one to land was Dongfang Wuye, the current owner of Donghuangdao, and the second person was the first of the Dharma Transmission Hall of the Sanskrit Yin Sect, these two are the best forces in the Freedom Alliance except for the Lintian Pavilion and the Wuwei Dao Court, even in the entire continent, they can be ranked first.
And although their relationship with Lintianmen is not yet a brotherhood, it is not far behind, so if Lintianmen generally has any major activities, they will not only gladly attend the meeting, but also basically ask the big people to come over to congratulate.
For example, this Donghuangdao is basically visited by the owner of the island every time, and the previous sect master of the Fanyin Sect came to congratulate him in person like Donghuangdao, but for some reason, the current sect master has never been in person once.
Outside, it is rumored that the previous sect master of the Sanskrit Yin Sect is good at everything, but when the heir is chosen, the old eyes are dizzy, and a tired heir is selected as the next sect master, which makes the Sanskrit Yin Sect laugh and laugh.
But Lintianmen was invited, although the sect master didn't go, the people below couldn't be regarded as child's play, and they still had to send a weighty figure, and the result was that this Lukong master was unanimously voted, and for hundreds of years he had a black face and ran helplessly to congratulate, but if this is just out of politeness or attention to Lintianmen, it is not necessarily true, which contains some sincerity in it.
But it was said that Dongfang Wuye and Lu Kong were asked by Shi Feng like this, of course it was impossible for the two to put Shi Feng aside and continue to talk, Dongfang Wuye first spoke:
"It's just that I haven't seen it for nearly ten years, and I feel that Master Shi's nephew's practice has improved again. I brought a few juniors with me this time to let them grow their eyes and learn more from Lintianmen, so that they would not be arrogant and arrogant on that small island in the East China Sea all day long. ”
"The Eastern Island Lord has praised it, but I don't know where your disciples are?"
Shi Feng was praised by Dongfang Wuye, and hurriedly bowed his hand and changed the topic back.
"Oh, those juniors let them not use the sword, and they came from the bottom of the mountain on their own, it is rare to come once, of course, they have to take advantage of your big array of Lintian Peak to take precautions, once they come, let them have a good experience. Second, I don't want this group of people to fly around and disturb the order of Lintianmen, haha. ”
"The Oriental Island Lord has a heart, I don't know if Master Lukong has also brought a disciple of the sect over?"
Shi Feng hugged his fist to Dongfang Wuye here, and then turned his head to Lu Kong and said.
"Haha, the poor monk is naturally thinking with the owner of the Eastern Island, and I also let those disciples practice under the mountain. ”
"Since that's the case, then they may not be able to reach this ninety-ninth rank for a while, why don't you two go to the main hall with me to catch up with the family master first, I will ask the disciples in the door to pay attention to their movements, if they come up, I will take them directly to meet the two, I don't know what you think?"
"Very well. ”
Then Dongfang Wuye and Lu Kong followed Shi Feng to the Lintian Hall, and on the way, Shi Feng also transmitted a message to the deacon disciples on the side, asking them to pay attention to the movement under the mountain, and help them, so that those disciples could suffer less, of course, they were still worried that those disciples had unintentionally promoted some fatal organ formation, and it would not be good to deal with the aftermath.
......
"Hahaha, just now I was discussing with my junior brothers who would come first today, and I was only halfway through the discussion, and the two of us had already arrived, and I gave the answer directly, so as not to continue the boring discussion with my junior brothers. ”
Ye Qingfeng had already sensed their breath before Dongfang Wuye and Lu Kong entered the Lintian Palace, and directly got up and walked out of the hall to greet them.
"Haha, Ye Pavilion Lord is still so funny, but then again, in less than ten years, you will be able to taste your school's bamboo leaf green, and this foot power will naturally be much lighter. ”
"There are more celebrations in the past three hundred years than the previous ones, hey, there are very few bamboo leaves that can be taken by this door, and this time I still dug some from the warehouses of each vein, but it can make my junior brothers feel distressed, otherwise this time we can only drink tea and eat pastries." ”
After Ye Qingfeng joked with Dongfang Wuye, of course he would not take care of one or the other, this work of dealing with him had already been skillful, and he turned his head to Lu Kong and said:
"But it doesn't affect the master, haha. ”
"Ye Pavilion Master, it is fair to say, but the poor monk is already a monk, otherwise the poor monk must have tasted the world-famous Lintian bamboo leaf green, every time he comes to the meeting, he can only watch his colleagues keep praising there, it's a pity, it's a pity. ”
"Haha, the master is a high-ranking monk, so naturally he won't care about these mundane things, so don't make fun of me, let's go to the hall to drink tea first, and then go to the martial arts training platform together when other fellow Taoists come?"
It's just that before Dongfang Wuye and Lukong answered, they were first interrupted by a loud voice.
"Hahaha, Lord Ye Ge, since that day of farewell, we have not seen each other for many years, today monk I passed by here and was thirsty, I wanted to go up the mountain to beg for wine, but I found that you have a great celebration here, it is really the fate of you and me, I come to congratulate with fate, it is the will of God. Hehe, that road is not rare for your drinks, why don't you give me his share as well?"
