With Wang Ling's cheerful personality, he will not deliberately hide his love and feelings. But Du Wenlin couldn't accept this sudden emotion, because Cao Cuizhu was always in his heart.

His heart is not big enough to accommodate other women, and he is not ready to accept another relationship.

"I've never told you, actually, I already have a fiancée." It can be seen that Du Wenlin finished this sentence with a lot of effort.

He didn't mean to hide anything from him, because today was the first time he was alone with him, but he didn't expect the other party to suddenly express his affection to him, which caught him off guard for a while.

Wang Ling's face suddenly showed a look of disappointment, almost no one had refused his request since he could remember, but he didn't expect to encounter such embarrassment when he took the initiative to open his girlish feelings to the man he liked today.

This annoyed her.

even vaguely hated a girl who had never met and didn't know who it was.

"Who's that lucky girl?" The tone was full of jealousy.

"Her name is Cao Cuizhu, and she is the daughter of Cao Shipin, the governor of Jiangsu."

"Oh, the young lady of the feudal family, no wonder, you have climbed the high branches!"

This kind of gratuitous jealousy and sarcasm made Du Wenlin unbearable, and he muttered for a long time:

"It was after last autumn that our parents helped us get married."

"It's just that there's a marriage contract, it's not that we're married. Rice is not made into rice. Before the boat is completed, everything is still in time. At this, she laughed slyly.

Du Wenlin broke out in a cold sweat, and now he began to regret his blind travel today.

The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, these two levels have passed, and there is no difference between getting married or not.

Cuizhu has become his wife, which no one can deny.

However, in Wang Ling's eyes, he is still unmarried, and the marriage contract is invalid for him.

Perhaps, the so-called way of Confucius and Mencius, marriage customs and etiquette, they don't understand it at all.

"Hey, why are you wiping your sweat? I didn't say I had to marry you, I was scared of you. Even if I marry you, I'm not a beast of prey, is it worth it to make you so afraid? Her ridicule made Du Wenlin sit on pins and needles, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Hurry up and hold the boat hard, I just hope to reach the other side as soon as possible and get rid of such embarrassment.

The boat docked, but fortunately the place of dock was remote, and there were no pedestrians passing by, otherwise wouldn't it be a shame to be in such a situation?

The two of them took their clothes out of the bottom of the cabin and dried them on a small tree on the shore.

As soon as Du Wenlin sat down on the shore, Wang Ling had already sat side by side.

Du Wenlin secretly complained in his heart, but he was helpless, he couldn't reach out and push away or get up and leave, he didn't want to guess the consequences of acting excessively.

The breeze rose again, blowing the clear water of a lake, and also blowing cold the people on the shore.

Wang Ling's obscene body squeezed hard against Du Wenlin's naked body, and the physical contact made his heartbeat instantly quicken.

A smooth, soft arm gently wrapped around his waist, and the head that exuded the fragrance of a girl rested lightly on his shoulder.

He is not a promiscuous person, and he doesn't want to be sorry for Cuizhu who has been thinking about him for a long time.

However, in this situation, I felt confused, and I didn't know how to deal with the fiery enthusiasm of the girl beside me.

The two of them sat quietly like this, neither of them saying a word.

When we arrived at the foot of Maoshan Mountain, the sun had set in the west, and the mountain was covered with clouds and mist, and it was too late to climb the mountain again.

Not far from the mountain gate, there is an inn built for tourists, the scale is not very large, but the cleaning is quite clean.

Du Wenlin and the two asked for wine and food in the lobby, and chatted with the boss while eating:

"It's a little hot in early summer, but there are still a lot of people going out to play, right?"

"Oh, this year is no better than usual. In previous years, there were a lot of tourists at this time, all of them came to this famous Taoist mountain, the first blessed land of Taoism, the eighth cave heaven, famous in the world. Therefore, in this season of previous years, there are many tourists from other places. After a while, he stretched out his head to look outside the door, and said in a low voice:

"But something strange happened recently, and suddenly a rumor came out that the Wanfu Palace on the top of Maoshan Mountain had become the stronghold of a certain sect. It is also rumored that any tourist who goes up the mountain to worship will be forcibly dragged into the religion if they are influenced by this religion. It scared a lot of people to come here. So much so that my small shop in Yemen is full of birds.

Du Wenlin shook his head when he heard this, and said in his heart, this sect is secretive, how can there be so many rumors circulating in the rivers and lakes? As soon as I heard it, someone deliberately spread rumors to cut off the incense of Maoshan Taoist Temple.

But then again, since the "Red Seal Sect" is secretive, such detrimental words are still circulating, and it may really not be groundless.

When I think of this, I already have an idea in my heart.

After dinner, he asked the boss to clean up the two upper rooms upstairs and went upstairs with Wang Ling.

The two rooms upstairs are adjacent, and Wang Ling came directly to Du Wenlin's room:

"Do you know how life is fed?"

Du Wenlin was a little dazed:

"Why do you ask this?"

"Isn't it a waste that you have to spend two dollars when one room is enough?"

Du Wenlin smiled bitterly and was speechless, lowered his head and put the salute on the table.

Wang Ling also took off the salute on his back and sat on the bed, looking like he was not going to leave tonight.

Du Wenlin let her go, didn't speak, and went out to bring water and prepare to wash.

When he came back, he found that Wang Ling was already lying on the bed with his clothes.

"Let's just stay in the same bed tonight, if you don't seduce me, I won't harass you, how about it?" She said it seriously, but unfortunately her face was full of cunning.

Du Wenlin trembled in his heart and responded:

"You sleep for a while, I'll meditate. We still have to go out in the middle of the night. ”

As soon as he heard about it, Wang Ling immediately had the spirit and turned over and sat up:

"What are you going out for? Going to enjoy the night view from the mountains? ”

"It's nice to go up the mountain, but it's not to enjoy the night view. Just now, the boss revealed a piece of news, and it is rumored that Wanfu Palace has also been eroded by the 'Red Seal Sect'. We'll go up tonight and find out. ”

"Oh, got it. After a tiring day, you can also go to bed and rest for a while. Wang Ling's words were sincere.

"Nope. I'll just meditate for a while. ”

The wind was blowing, and the wind whistled from the mountains, making the wind chimes under the eaves jingle and make it difficult for travelers to sleep.

The "Jin Family Compound" in Changzhou City is also quite deserted tonight, and Master Jin Changshun Jin has lost his previous elegance and calmness at this time, rubbing his hands impatiently, thinking about countermeasures.

originally wanted to drown Du Wenlin and the woman in red in the "Changdang Lake", two fierce rivals, to reduce the pressure on his body. Who knew that not only did not kill the other party, but took the life of the boat.

That boat was the best man in the water, and his death was a big loss.

Now, Du Wenlin and the others have arrived at the foot of Maoshan Mountain, and it is really difficult to say whether they are going to the Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace on this trip.

If they really went to Wanfu Palace, those Taoist priests in Wanfu Palace would definitely not be their opponents.

The entrance of the altar of Maoshan is very important, it uses the special status of Taoism to network a lot of talents for itself, and it must not be destroyed in the hands of Du Wenlin.

For now, the only way to do this is to send experts from nearby to help, and I hope that it will not be too late to make amends.

He whispered a few words to Jin Fu, the butler next to him.

After hearing this, Jin Fu leaned over and walked out of the door.

In a moment, a gray dove flew into the sky.

Maoshan does not have the steepness of Huashan, nor does it have the grandeur of Mount Tai.

It is famous because it is the first blessed land of the seventy-two blessed lands of Taoism, the eighth cave heaven.

Legend has it that 5,000 years ago, there were people who practiced here, and it was the birthplace of the Shangqing sect of Taoism, and was called "Shangqing Altar" by Taoists.

At the beginning of the sea, two black figures at the foot of Maoshan Mountain climbed quickly along the mountain path and went straight to Wanfu Palace.

Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace is located at the top of Damao Peak, the main peak of Maoshan Mountain, also known as the Ding Palace. In the night, against the backdrop of the surrounding peaks, it looks hazy and mysterious, majestic and solemn.

The black figures were Du Wenlin and Wang Ling, and it didn't take them an hour to reach the front gate of Wanfu Palace.

At this time, the tall front door was closed, and the courtyard wall was no less than two feet high.

Du Wenlin threw out a rope with a hook, and the two climbed the rope into the courtyard.

When he was at the inn, Du Wenlin briefly inquired from the boss about the structural layout of Wanfu Palace.

Wanfu Palace is divided into four halls before and after, and the place where they are now is located before the first entry into the Lingguan Palace, and bypassing the Lingguan Hall is the second into the Tibetan scripture building.

Because the Tibetan scripture building has the Taoist classics handed down from the past dynasties, there is a Taoist duty room downstairs to guard. However, at this time, the Taoist on duty had already fallen asleep, and the entire backyard was pitch black.

The two of them did not stay long, and directly entered the courtyard of the Sanjin Temple.

Facing is the Taiyuan Treasure Palace, its east side is the "Yingxu Daoyuan", and the west side is the "Yiyu Daoyuan".

Although it was already the end of the day, the East Courtyard was still brightly lit.

Du Wenlin waved his hand to let Wang Ling watch the wind by the gate of the east courtyard, and gently touched into the courtyard by himself.

In the east wing of the courtyard, there were five Taoists arguing about something at this time.

A Taoist in his sixties:

"I want to be a sect in Maoshan Mountain, since the ancestor got the Tao and founded the religion for 2,000 years, all those who enter my religion have abandoned their glory and devoted themselves to cultivation. Not to mention that they can all achieve positive results in the end, at least it will not violate the original intention of self-cultivation. But now, because the three of you are greedy for the prosperity of the world, you have ruined my blessed land and cultivated, and you have made a miasma, and you have seriously deviated from the teachings of the Taoists. At this point, he coughed with his hands on his chest.

A young Taoist standing next to him, who was less than thirty years old, immediately helped him sit on the stool and helped him gently beat his back.

Standing in front of them were three Taoists, one of whom was about forty years old, and stepped forward and waved his hands:

"Abbot Cangsong, you and I have been in the same door for more than 30 years, every day is to chant the scriptures against the sunrise, chant with the moonset, practice hard, and only hope to achieve positive results and become immortals. We have all suffered what we deserve, and we have also suffered what we deserve, but after decades of penance, where is the immortal, and where is the Tao? We have come to the realization that everything is false. Heaven is pitiful, when we are confused, the 'Red Confession' takes the initiative to come and save our generation from the sea of suffering. And the sect leader also took pity on the abbot's difficulties in cultivating, and wanted to lead the abbot to join the Divine Sect and ascend to bliss together! ”

Abbot Cangsong didn't wait for him to finish, waved his hand, signaled him not to say any more, coughed twice, and wheezed:

"The cultivators of my generation pay attention to the immortal path and noble life, and there are no measurable people. Now it seems that you are not only incapable of saving others, but also incapable of saving yourself, and you have no chance with the Immortal Dao! Today, as the abbot of the Shangqing faction of the Maoshan Northern Sect, I have taken back the three Taoist numbers of Qingxin, Qingchen and Qinghe, and can never be used again in the earthly world. And expelled from the altar of the Qing Dynasty on Maoshan Mountain, it is late today, please go down the mountain by yourself when the sun rises in the Ming Dynasty. ”

After speaking, he stood up tremblingly and instructed the young Taoist:

"Xuzhu, help me back."

At this time, the middle-aged Taoist named Qingxin glanced at Xuzhu.

Xuzhu's face suddenly showed a fierce light, his left hand supported the abbot's waist from behind, and a dagger shining with cold light suddenly appeared in the sleeve of his right hand.

Du Wenlin, who was lying outside the window, saw a dagger appear in the sleeve of the void bamboo, and immediately felt that the host was in danger, and was about to break through the window, but the dagger was faster, and it had already pierced deeply into the host's chest in the blink of an eye.

"You 。。。。。。。" Abbot Cangsong pointed at the void bamboo, as if he didn't believe his eyes.

Qingxin slowly paced to the abbot Cangsong, who was still standing with his eyes open:

"I'm sorry, Abbot! In fact, we can't help ourselves. Our task is to either convince you to join the Church or send you to the West. If we fail to complete our tasks, we will suffer a hundred times worse than you. If you leave like this, it can be regarded as a positive result! Buddha Amitayus! ”。

"Buddha Amitayus!" The other three Taoists also chanted in unison.

Abbot Cangsong's body fell to the ground with a bang, and the blue bricks on the ground were instantly stained red with blood.

Du Wenlin, who was outside the window, witnessed the tragedy of the cannibalism between master and apprentice indoors, and his heart was broken.
