Chapter 97: Trapped by Love
The moon sloped to the west, and a Taoist priest of the Hanging Heaven Temple led the landing leaves to the mouth of Jiashiyu.
Standing outside the uninhabited valley, the Taoist priest said to Lu Ye: "Senior Brother Fahu is meditating in the valley, and the poor Dao is waiting here for Lu Gongzi to come out." ”
Lu Ye thanked him and walked into the valley alone.
Jiashiyu is located in the back mountain of Taiqing Palace, the cliffs on both sides are straight like cutting into the sky, and a glimmer of sky light is faintly revealed when you look up. There is a stream in the valley, which flows along the mountain, the water is clear enough to discern people, and groups of small fish swim happily, and some mischievous deliberately hide in the colorful pebbles so that their companions cannot find them.
Lu Ye walked very slowly, casually and leisurely enjoying the mountain scenery in the winter night.
People listen to the flowers, and the birdsong mountain is more secluded.
The stone carvings on the cliffs on both sides are densely packed, which should be the graffiti of the Hanging Heaven Gatekeepers who used to cultivate on this wall. With the faint light of the sky, Lu Ye saw a variety of stone carvings, including "Yunlai Mountain is better, Yungo Mountain is picturesque, the mountain is bright because of the clouds, and the clouds are high and low", there are also "The sun and the moon are like grinding ants, everything is floating and resting", and there are also "Qingni in the left hand, and the bright moon in the right hand." ”
Lu Ye watched it with relish, his steps became slower and slower, and when he saw the wonderful calligraphy, he would stop to copy it.
Chen Fahu sat cross-legged on an ashlar stone by the stream, he had seen Lu Ye enter the valley for a long time, but he thought he was a tourist for a long time, and looked at Lu Ye Lao in a daze for a long time, Chen Fahu finally couldn't hold back and said: "Lu Gongzi, you seem to be ...... Loved this place?"
"It's fine. Lu Ye smiled, he had lived in the cave at the bottom of the East China Sea for three years, compared to the Jiashiyu there, it was simply a paradise. His gaze turned to Chen Fahu, and he couldn't help but show surprise in his eyes when he saw that the bloody flesh on his hands, knees, and forehead had just scabbed over his hands, knees, and forehead.
Chen Fahu smiled bitterly: "Those who knelt up all the way were locked up here before they saw the master." ”
"Very heroic and responsible. Lu Ye smacked his lips and gave a thumbs up.
Chen Fahu's tense facial expression instantly relaxed, and he hung his head and said, "Don't make fun of me." ”
"I'm making fun of you, shouldn't you? You ran away, what are you doing when you come back?" Lu Ye lowered his face and said: "I didn't want to see you, but someone said something bad and told me to go to Jiashiyu, I heard that you still want to talk to me alone?" Chen Zhenren, are you planning to return to your master to be a Taoist example?"
Chen Fahu didn't expect Lu Ye to be so mean, he was stunned for a while, and then lowered his head and said, "I...... After thinking about it, I feel that you have learned the right lesson, I can't just leave, I have failed my master and I am sorry for Furong, so that she wants to hide in Tibet and avoid overseas for me. ”
"I ...... Said that?" Lu Ye looked at Chen Fahu and saw that he nodded affirmatively at himself.
"You second uncle!" Lu Ye slapped a moan on his forehead, and You Long's mantra blurted out.
Chen Fahu smiled, in fact, Lu Ye is still a very interesting person occasionally, and it is not bad to have such a little ancestor in the Hanging Heaven Temple. He said seriously: "I am ready to implore the master to allow me to enter the world and return to the world, no matter how the Lord reprimands, I will be willing." Then I want Ming Media to marry Furong and carry her into the door in a sedan chair in a beautiful manner. ”
Lu Ye wants to beat people with a big stick again, just marry into the door and live, for the sake of the scenery, do you have to toss back and forth like this?
"So you're thinking I'm going up the hill and waiting for me, right?"
Chen Fahu's face was full of shame, and without saying a word, he simply leaned over to Lu Ye and knelt to the ground.
Lu Ye hurriedly dodged to the side and warned, "Chen Fahu, you don't have to get an inch." ”
Chen Fahu said: "I don't dare to force it, and I know that I am not qualified to make any requests to the little patriarch. But I am a seven-foot man, if I can't let my beloved woman walk the world openly, can't give her a quiet and stable life, but will be ridiculed by the world, what face do I have to say that I love her and protect her for the rest of my life?"
"You discussed it with Shui Hibiscus, and she agreed that you should go back to the mountain to receive ...... Please?"
Chen Fahu said in a low voice: "I left a letter for her to wait for me, and I will be able to solve this matter properly." Little Patriarch, you may not be able to understand my pain and determination at this moment. One word of love, no regrets. ”
"Aren't you worried about Elder Xiao or Lord Yan Guan pulling out his sword and slashing you in anger?"
If that's the case, I have no regrets. In the final analysis, blame me for doing something wrong, tarnishing the reputation of the master for thousands of years, and dying will not be redeemed. ”
"Chen Fahu, you have given Master Ling and Master Yan Guan a big problem. Thinking of these two Qing cultivators for many years, now that they are old enough to scratch their heads for some love and love things, my heart is much more comfortable. ”
Chen Fahu raised his head aggrieved and said, "Dare to ask the little patriarch, can there be a trench between the demons, and there is a gap between the two realms of righteousness and demons?"
"You...... It's all nonsense! But for your guts...... I promise you that I will do my best, but I can't promise you and Water Hibiscus anything. ”
Chen Fahu was overjoyed, and with a "bang", he knocked his head deeply sincerely.
When he raised his head again, Lu Ye's figure was already far away. On the ashlar stone, there are four words carved by the fingers: "Different paths lead to the same end".
Lu Ye couldn't imagine Chen Fahu's joy and stability after seeing the four words, let alone as relaxed and chic as Chen Fahu imagined, he felt that he was not sure to convince Yan Mochan and Xiao Mochang and other elders at all. Although he has an ancestral token on his body, he can't hold the token in his hand and shout to all the white-haired immortals: "From now on, the disciples of the Hanging Heaven Temple are free to love and marry." You are a teacher, you should send your care and blessings, and don't get in the way, otherwise you will be beaten in the ass!"
No matter how tolerant Yan Mochan and the others are, they regard themselves as fledgling juniors and love them, but their patience is also limited, and they are tantamount to crazy words, they are afraid that they will be beaten out of the mountain gate on the spot. This love affair actually involves the grievances and hatreds of the two major sects of Hanging Heaven Temple and Weiyang Palace, one good and one evil, and it is not impossible to meet each other if they are not handled properly. If you add Luo Jialiang's head case, the Heavenly Demon Sect took the opportunity to instigate it, and the delicate nature of the situation could not be done hastily and affect the whole body.
Lu Ye thought about it all the way, and did not return to the Taiqing Palace after leaving Jiashiyu, but went straight to the Shangqing Pavilion.
When he arrived at the Shangqing Pavilion, Lu Ye asked the Taoist priest who led the way to arrange a quiet room to start cultivating.
The spiritual energy on the immortal mountain is abundant, and the cultivation effect is twice the result with half the effort, and at this time, Lu Ye needs to be immersed in the palm of the twenty-one meridians, and after running the true qi in his body for a few weeks, he obviously feels that his mental and physical condition has begun to improve. The injuries on his body seem to have basically healed, although there is still a gap between the perfect state before the battle of Quzhou City, but it will be fine after a while.
One, two, three were still sleeping in the cocoon, and Lu Ye was looking forward to what kind of form and power the little guy would be when he woke up this time.
At the same time, he already had the four-color Yuan Stone in the Eight Treasures of Tiande Furnace, and he was only one step away from the last Emperor Ying to be able to complete his merits and try to storm the mountain sealing steps.
The mountain closure level is nothing to Chen Douyu and Shang Jiahe, and Lu Ye's cultivation speed is like an old cow pulling a broken car compared to the two of them, so there is really nothing to boast about. But Lu Ye himself was very satisfied, and even felt that this speed was just right, and it was more solid to be stable.
At dawn, the melodious morning bell came from the Taiqing Palace at the peak, and there were gradually human voices inside and outside the Shangqing Pavilion, which became lively.
Lu Ye wiped his sweat and walked out of the quiet room, and when he came to the Sanqing Heavenly Ladder outside the Shangqing Pavilion, he saw Zou Ling and Fan Gaohu and his wife standing and squatting on the side of the road, looking down with their eyes, presumably none of the five trial disciples had successfully reached the top.
Lu Ye stepped forward to greet the two, and Fan Gaohu was still worried: "Brother, the old Tao in the view didn't embarrass you last night, right?"
"Lord Yan Guan invited me to have a cup of tea under the golden laurel tree, and then I went to Jiashiyu to meet a friend. ”
"What, people drove the mountain road for half a night overnight, and only gave a cup of tea under the tree, which was stingy. ”
Lu Ye took out two golden osmanthus flowers from the Sumeru space, held them in the palm of his hand and said: "This is a gift from the Golden Osmanthus Fairy, which has the effect of warding off evil spirits, detoxifying and increasing longevity." Sister Zou, you and Brother Fan have one flower each, just go back and take it. ”
The Golden Osmanthus Fairy gave him a total of three Golden Osmanthus Flowers, and the remaining one Lu Ye was ready to be left for the guy You Long.
"It's ...... The spiritual flowers that bloomed on the golden laurel tree in front of the Taiqing Palace, the Hanging Heaven Temple, actually gave you two flowers at once? Good brother, this is a treasure of the fairy family that is hard to find, and we never dare to accept it. ”
Fan Gaohu saw that Zou Yan was cautious, and then he realized that Yan Mochan's old man and someone had a tea chat under the golden laurel tree, and it was not a treatment that everyone could have.
Lu Ye said: "It's okay, I have something better than this." ”
Zou Ling was no longer polite when he heard Lu Ye say this, and accepted the two golden osmanthus flowers and said happily: "With this treasure, Gao Hu will dare to rush to the cave heavenly steps." Three years ago, it was all thanks to Mr. Lu who saved my life, and I haven't repaid it, but you gave us such a precious spiritual flower for the husband and wife. Xiao Lu, how can you ask my sister to thank you?"
Lu Ye chuckled and said, "You are my big sister. My father once taught me that when you give people flowers, you will have a lingering fragrance in your hands. Big sister and big brother Fan can love Baitou forever, and I am also happy. ”
Fan Gaohu said thoughtfully: "Well, this flower is really fragrant." ”
Zou Lingbai glanced at him and asked, "Xiao Lu, are you waiting here for the little jar to come up?"
"I think all five of them should be able to pass the trial. ”
Fan Gaohu said with great interest: "Brother, it's boring to wait anyway, why don't we make a bet on who is the first trial disciple to climb to the Shangqing Pavilion?"
Zou Ling kicked him and said, "What are you betting with Brother Lu?"
"I have money, let's bet a hundred taels of silver!"
Lu Ye looked at his red-faced appearance, afraid that this one hundred taels was the private money he had saved with great difficulty, in case he won, it would inevitably be remembered by him in the future, so he thought about it and said: "I want to drink, do I want to punish the loser for running errands at the bottom of the mountain to buy wine?"
"Good idea!" Fan Gaohu suddenly relaxed and laughed: "I bet that the one called Man Taibao has a good brain and makes his legs and feet fast, and he is a good seedling at a glance." Lady, who do you like?"
Zou Ling thought for a while and said, "Lin Baochun and Lin Baoqiu are brother and sister, I think there is more hope." ”
Lu Ye said: "In this way, I would like to see the five of them go to the Shangqing Pavilion together." ”
