On the top of the Purple Mountain, the clouds and mist are misty, and the red lotus flowers in the main entrance of the National Religion Altar are facing the morning sun in the teaching field, exuding a trace of bright spots, falling directly into the sea of clouds on both sides of the straight rainbow bridge, and several men in purple robes on the mountain and stone path are extinguishing the candles in the stone lamp. A purple-clothed waiter hurriedly ran from outside the mountain gate to the Hongqiao, and walked straight to the mountain at the other end.

At the end of the Hongqiao, a row of national sect disciples held the freshly picked red lotus in both hands and walked towards the main hall. "Did you hear it, there was a warning signal from the bottom of the mountain. Someone actually broke into the holy mountain of the state religion, which has not happened since the founding of the country. The disciples of the state religion talked a lot, and some people looked back at the disciples who were running quickly on the Hongqiao, sighing constantly.

Everyone slowly passed by the martial arts field outside the Great Light Palace, all of them were respectful, everyone lowered their heads one after another, staring at the stamens held in their hands without squinting, and the dew drops with a hint of red light dripped down the celadon tribute plate in their hands onto the red stone floor.

"Elder Leng, Elder Leng, Elder Leng...."Everyone respectfully addressed the purple-robed man in the center of the place where the sun and the moon blended when they passed by the martial arts arena, the head of the four elders of the state religion, Leng Wuyan, no one knew its origin, but since Taizu founded the country and the Divine Sect was respected as the state religion, he became the second person on the top of this Purple Mountain. Every day at sunrise, he stood in the center of the martial arts field in front of the Great Hall of Light, meditating quietly, and all the disciples who picked the red lotus stamen could witness a trace of his demeanor from a distance, but no one dared to step forward.

The disciples who rushed from the other end of the Hongqiao knelt down under the stone steps of the martial arts arena, panting and said, "Elder Leng, Xu Guogong has broken through the mountain gate of the National Sect, we... We...."

"None of you dare to stop you. Leng Wuya squeezed out these words from his mouth, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the National Sect disciple at the foot of the stone steps was shocked to sit on the stone slab, his right hand trembling and supporting his body.

"He, he's the prince of the country, and he's .... I... We.... Don't dare...."The National Sect disciple lowered his head, his pupils dilated, and he said in a trembling voice.

Leng Wuya's eyes closed slightly, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, put his hands on his knees, and said softly, "Xu Guogong was personally sealed by Emperor Taizu, and he must have something important to meet the sect leader when he came to Purple Mountain this time. You lead him to the Great Hall of Light first, and I will report to the sect master. ”

"Yes. The National Sect disciple hurriedly got up from the stone slab and hurried towards the Hongqiao.

Leng Wuya sat quietly on the martial arts arena, slowly stood up, flashed in the teaching field, floated on the wooden corridor in front of the Great Bright Palace, came to the disciple who had just walked to the front hall to pick the red red lotus stamen, picked up a few petals from the hands of one of the disciples and put them in his palm, walked quickly, disappeared at the main entrance of the main hall, and many national sect disciples continued to hold the stamen and walked into the side hall on the east side of the Great Bright Palace, Fanghua Pavilion.

"Today's red lotus stamen looks really good, do you want to taste it?" Leng Wuya smiled and looked at the long-haired man on the soft collapse in the middle of the main hall, and asked cautiously.

"Wuya, you usually know how to play, if I hadn't asked you to meditate and practice every day, would you have today's cultivation?" The young long-haired man in a red gold and purple robe sat on top of the soft collapse, making an old voice that resounded throughout the hall. As one of the few people in the dynasty who can face Emperor Taizu directly, he is actually an old man who looks like a child.

"I know, Master, I know that you are good for me, but the senior brothers are all better than me, why do you have to choose me?" Leng Wuya pouted, looking unhappy, and the palm wind in his hand stirred those petals into a breeze and flowers, inhaled into his nose, and melted into his blood. Then he stretched out his arms and stretched his waist, looked around, and glanced at this huge hall of light, there were only two of them, master and apprentice.

"It's also for your good as a teacher, if a hundred years later, the Divine Sect will still have you..."

"I don't want to, I don't want to be trapped on this mountain for the rest of my life, and after the senior brothers get out of the customs, I will..."

"What are you going to do? Although our Divine Sect was enshrined as the state religion by Emperor Taizu, there are eight major factions in the rivers and lakes, such as Shaolin and Wudang, headed by Tianxianglou, as well as the Swordless Villa in Taibai Mountain, and even the Tianxia League, which is unknown to teachers. Although they have no contact with us, a large number of disciples of the Eight Sects have appeared in Jinling recently, and I am afraid that they are inextricably linked with Xu Guogong's visit. ”

"Master, since you all know that Xu Guogong is coming, why do you have to order someone to stop him?" Leng Wuya looked at the child-like master in the hall, and slid his index finger from under his nose a few times, and asked with an old-fashioned look.

"Rules are rules, of course they can't be broken. The head of the state church got up from the soft collapse, looked at the figure looming on the stone steps outside the hall, picked up a gilt mask from under the relief of the stanley on the side, put it on his face, and slowly walked down the stone steps.

Leng Wuya, who was standing in the middle of the main hall, felt a hurried pace behind him, so he turned around and walked quickly to meet him. "Xu Guogong, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still as high-spirited as you were back then. ”

Xu Guogong waved his right hand, signaling Ling Yun behind him to stand outside the hall, and entered the Great Light Hall alone, looking at Leng Wuya and the National Sect Leader behind him with a smile on his chin, he clenched his fists and said with both hands, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I haven't seen you for a long time, Elder Leng is still so calm and relaxed, Sect Master.... Grace can be.... I've never seen you since I met.... Since the Cult of God moved into the Purple Mountain, it has enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the mountains and the light of the sun and the moon. Xu Guogong laughed awkwardly.

Guogong laughed, and the old man was helpless. The head of the state religion took a few steps forward, stood beside Leng Wuya with his hands in his hands, and said in a deep voice, "The prince of the country has come to my mountain at this time, I am afraid that he has not eaten yet, and someone has come..."

"No... No..."Xu Guogong preemptively interrupted, "The old man came here this time because he wanted to ask the state religion for something. ”

The Sect Master of the State Sect was stunned for a moment, his eyes carefully observed Xu Guogong's nervous expression through the mask on his face, the corners of his mouth moved, and he said softly, "Xu Guogong can really say that he has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, you have something to do, but please speak up." He glanced sideways at Leng Wuya, motioned for him to stand down, and ordered the disciples of Fanghua Pavilion to postpone the time to eat.

Leng Wuya nodded and said softly, "Master, that disciple will step back for the time being, and if you have something, you can order the disciple outside the hall to pass it on to me." He glanced at Xu Guogong, then walked away quickly, disappearing to the east of the main entrance of the main hall.

"Brother, please take a seat. The head of the state religion guided forward with his right hand, and Xu Guogong came to the wooden couch on the side of the main hall, he poured tea for Xu Guogong with his own hands, and said with a smile, "I haven't been an old friend here for a long time." As he spoke, he handed a cup of tea to Xu Guogong.

Xu Guogong took the tea, put it to his lips and sniffed it a few times, then put it back on the wooden case, shook his head, and sighed.
