Chapter Eighty-Six: The Central Hall is Attacked
It was late at night when Lu Youling returned to Jiali Temple, and the disciples on duty outside the door knew that he had returned from the Guiyuan Palace, so he didn't take stock, but he didn't even pay due salute when he entered, and Lu Youling felt more and more that his so-called Mu Sitian was just an empty ornament.
When passing by the Zhongzheng Hall, he saw two figures kneeling on the stone steps at the door, Lu Youling took a closer look and saw that it was Qu Chengfeng and Guo Ruolin, two disciples.
The two leaned on each other, their heads and necks were tilted on each other's shoulders, their eyes seemed to be closed, and they didn't notice Lu Youling's arrival at all.
"Wake up!"
Lu Youling swayed the bodies of the two, and the bodies of the two of them suddenly bounced up as if they had woken up in a dream.
"Phew, it's me, why are you kneeling here?"
Identifying Lu Youling, the two of them breathed a long sigh of relief, Qu Chengfeng gestured with both hands, his expression was excited, and he exhaled softly, as if he had a point. Guo Ruolin glanced at him, and then whispered, "Be quiet, Deacon Bai is resting inside." ”
"What happened during the day didn't bother you today, did it?"
"I probably shouldn't have said that. ”
Guo Ruolin's cold tone, his words revealed helplessness, Lu Youling hurriedly helped him up, but he pushed him away.
"Kneeling all night is already an extrajudicial mercy, but I don't think it's over yet. ”
"What did Bai Zixiang say?"
"After Mu Sitian left, Deacon Bai did not say a word for some reason, his face was pale, and neither I nor he dared to make a sound, and it was a long time before he went back to his room to rest, and when he left, he arranged for the two of us to kneel here. ”
"Bai Zixiang's face is pale? Could it be that he has some kind of disease?"
"How can a person in the realm of no delusion still get sick? Mu Sitian really doesn't know anything about Yundu cultivation?"
Lu Youling didn't respond, he thought of something, and turned Guo Ruolin's collar open.
"This jade..."
Lu Youling recognized at a glance that the jade pendant Guo Ruolin wore around his neck was the heirloom of the Lu family, and now seeing it again can show Guo Ruolin's true identity.
"Come with me. Lu Youling reached out to pull Guo Ruolin's sleeve, Guo Ruolin still pushed him away roughly, which made Lu Youling anxious, and he said sharply: "I asked you to come with me as the Si Tian of the Incense Pavilion, I have something to tell you!"
Guo Ruolin was also stunned, then stood up and followed Lu Youling to a deserted place behind the hall. Before he could react, Lu Youling hugged herself.
"Hey, Mu Sitian, what are you doing here?"
"Ruolin, it's me, don't you remember?"
"I'm Lu Youling, don't you recognize the extra scar on my face?"
"Lu Youling... I'm Lu Youling, right!" Guo Ruolin pushed Lu Youling away, but met a villain with tears in his eyes.
"Mu Sitian, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Youling couldn't cry anymore, and it took a long time before she whimpered: "Why, can't you even recognize me? Uncle Guo is still waiting for us in Guojia Village?"
"You mean Guo Qingquan. ”
Lu Youling was taken aback, how could she mention her father without ardent hope, but with a cold face, even disgusted.
"Ruolin, what's wrong with you?"
"I'll say it again, my name is Lu Youling, if Mu Sitian likes it, you can call me Ah Ling. ”
Lu Youling couldn't understand Guo Ruolin in front of him at all, was he still the brother who talked to him when he was a child?
"Mu Sitian has any other instructions? If not, I'll go back and continue to punish kneeling!"
Lu Youling was stunned, he didn't know what to say for a while, Guo Ruolin's various performances were not the person in his impression, and he couldn't even be moved when he mentioned his father, what made him like this, could it be so terrifying to say that he would exchange sacrifices with him, so that two playmates who had known each other since childhood wanted to be strangers?
"Okay, I'll call you Ah Ling in the future, you can call Mu Sitian, or even Ah Mu. ”
Lu Youling watched Guo Ruolin return to the same place and kneel, while Qu Chengfeng beside him looked panicked and desperately pouted at himself.
"How...... What's wrong?"
Lu Youling suddenly felt a trace of coldness in his back, and when he turned around, he only saw a * white skin blocking all his vision, the skin was as white as clotted fat, and it was wantonly oozing cold air from the outside, and the coldness made Lu Youling tremble unconsciously.
It's just that when Lu Youling raised her head and was about to see who owned this white skin, she felt that something hit her neck, and she couldn't remember anything.
When Lu Youling woke up, she only felt that her face was wiped by something slimy, and a call sounded in her ears from time to time: "Apprentice, wake up, wake up, wake up......"
"It turned out to be Master, ah, my neck!" Lu Youling's whole body was numb, and a strong labor pain in his neck hit, Lu Youling reached out and touched it, and found that his right shoulder was hit by a large piece, he was still wearing a white Taoist uniform, and his shoes had not been taken off, and when he woke up, he was in his bed, and it seemed that he was carried back after fainting.
"Master, what time is it?"
Lu Youling said weakly, jumping to the windowsill, at this time, when the moon is approaching, there are more stars dotted with each other, indicating the cloudless weather tomorrow.
"It's been two hours since you brought it back. ”
"Hey, Master, how did you get out of the incense burner? ”
"You're not here during the day, but you've actually come out many times as a teacher, but you haven't seen it. Tell me, what's going on today?"
"Master, I know that I can't hide anything from you, I found Ye Yuecheng's partner, it was he who changed identities with me at the beginning, but I didn't expect that now we still meet in Yundu. ”
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, how many people want to come to Yundu to seek advice just because they are foreigners and refuse to be thousands of miles away, you, a child of Yundu, don't want to enter the temple, I really don't know what to do. ”
"Okay Master, don't count me down as soon as you meet, I don't know which immortal to offend today, first Fu Yuqiong threatened to kill me in the Zhongzheng Hall, and after nine deaths, he was knocked out by a sneak attack in front of the Zhongzheng Hall, and I don't know who attacked the apprentice until now?"
"Someone dares to stun you in the main hall, it seems that this person doesn't take self-appreciation in his eyes at all. ”
"Hey, Master, do you mean that the person who knocked me out is rewarding himself for nothing, right?"
"Although I don't know why he did this, but the person who sent you back is obviously from Luochuan Yuan, who can deploy them except for Bai Zixiang. ”
"Damn, I'm going to ask clearly!" Lu Youling was angry in her heart, on weekdays, the people in the Jiali Temple were acquiesced in by Bai Zixiang, and they didn't take Lu Youling in their eyes at all, but now they actually secretly poisoned themselves and knocked themselves unconscious, this breath Lu Youling couldn't swallow no matter what.
"Amu, don't be impulsive, this matter may not be as simple as you think. ”
"Master, this matter is obvious, Bai Zixiang is waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on the apprentice, even if the apprentice can't beat him, he must ask him for an explanation. ”
"Alas, I said that you don't have to be impulsive!" Ji Dao Fei suddenly jumped in front of Lu Youling to stop him, "I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as you think." ”
"How complicated can it be?"
"Let me tell you this, if in the open he can list your sins in a high-sounding manner, and make your daily heart tremble, and in the dark, he wants to take your life so easily, why simply knock you unconscious. And the method of hitting you is also quite rough, not at all like his usual style. ”
"In this way, it's not for nothing, Master, if you have anything to say, just say it, why do you play dumb riddles with me. ”
"Do you remember how you lost your cultivation as a teacher?"
"Of course, I remember that Master suffered a reversal because of his cultivation of the Heavenly Ribbon Heart Sutra, which caused his cultivation to disperse. ”
"When I was in Chenhe, I handed over the 'Heavenly Ribbon Heart Sutra' to Bai Zixiang for safekeeping, and he had no reason not to secretly practice the secret techniques inside, but he had not yet reached the realm of the 'Heavenly Ribbon' to urge the spells in the Heart Sutra, presumably the adverse pulse time was earlier now, and it was faster than the speed of the teacher's Yuan force. ”
"I see, no wonder Ruolin said that he was sweating more than sweat today, his face was as pale as paper, it seems that as the master said, he is really practicing the "Heavenly Ribbon Heart Sutra", but what does this matter to me, I just passed through the Zhongzheng Hall, and I didn't go in to see it, why did you knock me out?"
"This is the shrewdness of Bai Zixiang, he can neither kill you nor expel you himself, so he pretends to be an ordinary snitch and knocks you unconscious, so that no one will suspect him. Afterwards, he also sent someone to send you back to the Incense Pavilion to show his compassion, and you really have to learn from him if you treat people like this. ”
"Master, I rarely hear you praise him on weekdays, he attracted the sunshine soldiers and horses to destroy your body, and I didn't expect you to hate him at all. ”
"What's there to hate, isn't the master reborn again now? The only thing that the master regrets now is that he personally entrusted the "Heavenly Ribbon Heart Sutra" to Bai Zixiang's hands, once this scripture is lost, the national fortune of Yundu will be suspended. ”
Lu Youling said: "Bai Zixiang will not lose the Heart Sutra, he will definitely keep the Heart Sutra intact, but there has always been something unclear about the disciple, since the "Heavenly Ribbon Heart Sutra" will reverse the meridians after practice, why is everyone's enthusiasm for this scripture not diminished at all?"
This is the world's pursuit of rights, do not care how long you have, even if it is a very short opportunity, will try every possible way, not to mention the "Heavenly Ribbon Heart Sutra" is the treasure left by the ancestor of Yundu, it is rumored that he finally ascended to the top of the Three Realms, traveled all over the world, and became the envy of the world. ”
"I see, but I didn't see anything in the Zhongzheng Hall, and it was really unjust to be rewarded for nothing. ”
"You also feel wronged, don't you? Then how about you go to see it as a teacher?" (To be continued)
