Chapter Seventy-Five: Admission

The remaining man in black was skillful and deadly, but each knife was easily dodged by his opponent Pu Luochen, and the sharp blade slashed at his dead companion instead. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After fighting more than 20 moves, Pu Luochen basically figured out the martial arts of the man in black, and resolved the tricks used by the man in black one by one. The man in black saw that he couldn't help the other party, and after a few tricks, he immediately used light skills to flee elsewhere. The man in black hadn't escaped far when he suddenly let out a muffled snort, and then fell to the ground like a prey that had been shot. When Pu Luochen heard the sound, he immediately stepped forward to investigate. At this time, it was late at night, and he couldn't see anything clearly, so Pu Luochen relit the fire fold used by the man in black, and then took the fire fold to examine it carefully. I saw that the man in black rolled his eyes, his face turned blue, his expression was stiff, and he seemed to have lost his life. Looking down further, I saw that the man in black had been hit by a golden needle in his throat at some point, and the place where the golden needle pierced was where the Adam's apple of the man in black was, which should have been his fatal wound. When Pu Luochen saw this, he couldn't help but secretly admire, and said in his heart: "At this time, it is the middle of the night, and it can be said that I can't see my fingers." And this person hid in the shadows, and killed the fleeing man in black with only a golden needle, and the golden needle used was impartial, hitting the opponent's Adam's apple, which shows that this person's secret weapon kung fu is really powerful!" At this moment, I suddenly heard a person say: "Is a corpse worth looking at for so long?" Pu Luochen was stunned for a moment, then picked up the fire fold, looked at the place where the sound came from, and saw that there was a blue-clothed girl behind him, the girl had a fair face and a beautiful appearance, it was Shen Xinyi, a female disciple of Bixiu Palace who he had seen before.

"Is that you?" said Pu Luochen with some surprise.

"Yes, who would it be if it wasn't me?" Shen Xinyi replied immediately.

Pu Luochen wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and said, "Miss Shen, you won't come to seek revenge again, right?" Shen Xinyi listened and asked, "Pu Yunyang, do you think I seem to be here to seek revenge?" Pu Luochen was slightly stunned, and thought in his heart: "This Shen Xinyi has been angry with me because of her sister's affairs, if this time is not looking for revenge, what is it for?" Shen Xinyi saw Pu Luochen's ignorant face, so she stepped forward and explained: " Pu Yunyang, if I really came to you today to seek revenge, how could I kill your enemy?" Hearing this, Pu Luochen couldn't help but glance at the corpse of the man in black twice, and suddenly said: "That's it, the man in black died under the golden needle, and the golden needle must be the "Jade Girl Golden Needle", one of the three secret weapons of your Bixiu Palace, right?" Shen Xinyi nodded and said: "Yes, Pu Yunyang, you finally know the name of this Jade Girl Golden Needle." Otherwise, I don't even know how to explain it to you. Pu Luochen said: "In this way, Miss Shen came to me this time because she has another important matter, I don't know what is the matter?" Shen Xinyi said: "It's not convenient to tell now, because the people from the Shushan faction will soon chase after you!" Pu Luochen was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he heard Shen Xinyi say again: "There is only one fishing water in front, jump into the water with me!" After speaking, he ran to the fishing water and jumped down. Pu Luochen had no choice but to throw away the fire fold and jump into the water with him. It didn't take long for Wei Qingran to chase after him with the Shushan faction. Except for the bodies of the two black-clothed men on the ground, Wei Qingran and the others didn't find anything, so they had no choice but to take people to search elsewhere. After the people from the Shushan faction left, Shen Xinyi and Pu Luochen came out of the water and then returned to the shore.

Pu Luochen stretched out his hand to wipe the water droplets on his cheeks, tidied up his clothes, and then said: "Miss Shen, I don't know why you came to Pu this time?" Shen Xinyi said: "Anyway, I'm not here to seek revenge on you." It's not good to stay here for a long time, let's hurry up and find a place to stay!" The other party didn't want to say it explicitly, and Pu Luochen was inconvenient to ask, so he had to avoid this topic and ask about other things. I only heard Pu Luochen ask again: "I don't know where Miss Shen plans to stay?" Shen Xinyi pondered for a while and said, "Since the people of the Shushan Sect have found the body of the man in black in the west of the city, they will definitely vigorously search for your traces in the west of the city. The east, west and north of Xinfeng County are all surrounded by rivers, and there is no hiding place at all. Therefore, it is safer for us to go to the south of the city to hide. Pu Luochen was stunned for a moment and said, "There is only one Lishan in the south of the city!" Shen Xinyi said: "Yes, let's go to Lishan." ”

Lishan is two miles southeast of Xinfeng County, Pu Luochen, Shen Xinyi and the two have arrived at the foot of Lishan in less than an hour. Lishan since the Qin Dynasty, it is a royal garden, there are many villas in the palace, in addition, there are many Taoist temples built on the mountain, and there are not a few people who come to this mountain to seek incense. Since it was not yet dawn, Pu and Shen found a corner at the foot of the mountain, rested hastily for the night, and began to step into Lishan early the next morning. In order to avoid suspicion from others, Pu Luochen and Shen Xinyi came to a huge temple along the mountain road under the guidance of the locals as pilgrims. The two looked up and saw that the plaque of the temple was impressively written with the three big characters "Old Mother Palace". The Old Mother Palace, as the name suggests, is a Taoist temple dedicated to the old mother of Lishan. The old mother of Lishan is Nuwa, also known as the "Wuji old mother", and is known as the Three Emperors with Fuxi and Shennong, and is the ancestor of mankind. In order to thank Nuwa for the merits of creating people to make up for the sky, the descendants built the "Old Mother Palace" on this Lishan Mountain for the world to worship. Pu and Shen originally planned to settle in this old mother's palace, but unexpectedly, they were turned away. It turned out that the people living in the old mother's palace were all Taoist fairy aunts, and there were no men, they only allowed Pu and Shen to enter the temple to offer incense, and for other requests, they were not allowed. In desperation, the two had to find another place to stay.

The old mother palace is located on the second peak of the Xiuling Ridge in the west of Lishan, and after Pu and Shen left the second peak, they came to the third peak along the steps. There is also a temple built on the third peak, called "Laojun Palace", which is a Taoist temple dedicated to the ancestor of Taoism, Taishang Laojun. Because it was still early and there were not many pilgrims, the "Laojun Palace" in front of him was also extraordinarily quiet. Except for a few small Taoist priests who were cleaning and dusting outside the temple, there were no other people to be seen. Outside the temple gate, a small Taoist priest sweeping the floor saw someone visiting, so he stepped forward to make a joke and asked, "The donor is here for the incense?" Pu Luochen and Shen Xinyi glanced at each other, and then nodded yes. The little Taoist priest said, "That being the case, the two donors, please follow the path into the temple." Then, Pu and Shen followed the little Taoist priest into the temple. The temple is the "Laojun Palace", and the first thing that catches your eye is naturally the statue of the ancestor of Taoism, Taishang Laojun. Facing the idol, Pu and Shen each took three pillars of incense, lit them on the candle on the left side of the idol, and then gently greeted them with incense, fingers of the right hand to make incense, wrapped the right hand with the left hand, raised it in front of the forehead, and bowed their heads to worship. After the two of them finished the incense, Shen Xinyi turned her head to a little Taoist priest beside her and said, "Little Daoist, I'm tired of informing me, I have something important to ask to see the abbot." The little Taoist priest nodded and said, "In this case, please wait for a while, and the little Taoist will go to report it, and the abbot will come soon." With that, he departed. It didn't take long for an elderly Taoist with a gray beard and a blue-brown Taoist robe to slowly walk over, accompanied by the little Taoist priest. After the little Taoist priest brought the old Dao, he said to Shen Xinyi and the others: "Two donors, this is the abbot of our Laojun Palace, the Star Pluto Immortal. Shen and Pu nodded slightly, then slammed the old Taoist to the ground, and said in unison: "I've seen the immortal chief." The old Taoist replied with a fist salute and said: "The old immortal Dao is called Xingming, is the abbot of this old monarch's palace, I don't know what the two donors are looking for the old decay?" Shen Xinyi said: "Immortal Chief, we should not take the liberty of bothering, if there is anything inconsiderate, please forgive the Immortal Chief!" Hearing this, the Xingying Daoist smiled and said: "The donor's words are really tormenting the old decay, the two donors have worked tirelessly to come to the small temple to make incense, the old decay is the abbot, and he is very welcome, so why bother to say it? The donor is really worried." Shen Xinyi said: "Since the immortal chief said so, then I won't mention the word "bother" anymore." Immortal Chief, I don't hide it, I will take the liberty to ask to see Immortal Elder today, there is really something important to discuss!" "The Star Immortal Daoist asked, "I don't know what the important thing is?" Shen Xinyi said: "Immortal Chief, I don't know if I can enter the guest hall?" The Star Immortal Daoist bowed slightly, and then took Shen and Pu to the direction of the guest hall.

Since Emperor Gaozu founded the Tang Dynasty, Taoism has been honored as the state religion, and successive emperors have also strongly promoted Taoism, and to the generation of Emperor Xuanzong, the spread of Taoism has reached its peak. According to legend, Emperor Xuanzong once dreamed twice in Lishan that the ancestor of Taoism was Taishang Laojun, and afterwards, Emperor Xuanzong ordered people to build a "Laojun Palace" on Lishan. This "Laojun Palace" is the temple where Shen and Pu are now located. Because this "Laojun Palace" was built by the emperor's order, the whole temple is comparable to the palace, and even the houses where the Taoists live are several times better than the ordinary houses. In addition to the house, there is also a guest hall. The guest hall is also divided into several halls, including a hall for entertaining guests, a hall for enforcing precepts, and a hall for convening Taoist discussions. And the furnishings of each hall are everything and complete. What Taoist classics, the four treasures of the study, and the statue of Emperor Taishang Xuanyuan are all among them. Although there are many halls, there are also clear restrictions, and not everyone can go to the place. Although Shen and Pu were pilgrims, they had important things to do, so the hall they went to could only be the hall where the Taoists were convened. After arriving at the entrance of the council hall, the Xingying Daoist ordered his disciples to prepare tea and entertain Shen and Pu. After the three of them sat down, the Star Immortal Daoist took away the disciples who were guarding the entrance of the hall, leaving only the three of them to discuss matters in the hall. I only heard the Star Immortal Daoist speak: "The two donors, without the permission of the old man, the disciples in this temple will never dare to break into this hall at will. The old man will never tell others about the two benefactors. The female benefactor can safely say that. Shen Xinyi said: "The immortal chief is so thoughtful, I admire it!" The Star Immortal Daoist smiled: "Where is it, the female benefactor has a good reputation." After a pause, Shen Xinyi said again: "Immortal Chief, when the little girl came to this hall with the Immortal Chief, she found that there were many houses in your temple, and there were few Taoists living in it, so there must be a lot of vacant rooms, right?" A house is a place for a person to live, and when the little woman suddenly talks about the house, it is natural that someone wants to settle in this house. "The Star Immortal Daoist is a person who is well versed in the world, how can he not hear the meaning of Shen Xinyi's words?" I saw that the Star Immortal Daoist glanced at Shen Xinyi, and said solemnly: "Female benefactor, this old monarch hall is a place for Taoist disciples to practice, if there is suddenly another woman, I'm afraid it is a little inappropriate, right?" Shen Xinyi smiled slightly and said: "It's really inappropriate, and it's still very inappropriate." However, if there is an extra man in this mountain temple, it will be different. The Immortal Chief and all the Taoist disciples are all men, and the extra one is also a man, since they are all men, what's wrong?" The Star Immortal Daoist was stunned and said, "Man, could it be ......" When he spoke, the Star Immortal Daoist unconsciously turned his gaze to Pu Luochen on the side.

"Could it be the benefactor next to him?" the Star Immortal Daoist asked.

Shen Xinyi said: "The immortal chief is right, the man the little woman said is the Pu donor who came to your temple with the little woman to offer incense. The Star Immortal Daoist let out an "oh", and then said: "Female donor, please forgive the old man for saying bluntly, it is okay for a man to suddenly appear in the mountain temple." It's just that the people living in this temple are all monks who study the Tao, and this Pu Shi doesn't look like a homeless person, but he wants to live with us monks, there must be a hidden secret, right?" Shen Xinyi said: "The immortal chief is really as wise as a torch, and he can't hide anything from the immortal chief. The reason why the little woman took Brother Pu to live in the mountain temple is that there is indeed a hidden secret, but it is inconvenient to tell it for a while!" "Star Ming Dao said: "Female donor, you must know that Lao Yu, as the abbot of the Laojun Palace, must think about the lives of dozens of disciples of the Laojun Palace. Shen Xinyi's heart sank, and she couldn't help but complain secretly: "I didn't expect this old Taoist priest to be so difficult!" Seeing Shen Xinyi's dissatisfied face, the Star Immortal Daoist had already guessed what the other party was thinking, so he said: "Female donor, if there is nothing else, then this Pu donor's matter will end here." The old decay still has important things to do, so I will not accompany you. After speaking, he got up and wanted to leave, but the words of the "Pu Shi Master" suddenly came to his ears. I only heard the Pu Shi Master (Pu Luochen) say loudly: "Immortal Chang stays, Pu has something to say!" After hearing this, the Star Shen Daoist sat down again and said, "If the Pu Shi Master has anything to say, just say it." Pu Luochen said: "Immortal Chief, after listening to your old man's words, Pu's admiration for Immortal Chief has increased a little more. For the sake of the safety of the many disciples in the temple, the immortal chief did not hesitate to turn us away, and how could I, Pu someone, force the immortal chief to change his mind because he was alone......?

"Just what?" asked the Star Immortal Daoist.

Pu Luochen said: "It's just ...... It's just that the immortal chief has a sentence that is not right, and Pu wants to explain it......"

Since the abbot of the Star Underworld Dao people, he has never heard anyone say anything wrong with him, and at this moment he heard Pu Luochen say the word "wrong", he couldn't help but be interested, and couldn't help asking: "Since there is something wrong, then the old decay has to listen to it, what is wrong!" Pu Luochen said: "Immortal Chief, I can't hide it, Pu Mou is indeed because he has encountered some trouble, so he plans to live in your temple." This is really a last resort. It's just that Pu didn't get into a lawsuit as the immortal chief said, and of course, it will never endanger the lives of the disciples in the temple. For this matter, the immortal grows up and can rest assured. Seeing that Pu Luochen was speaking calmly, the Star Immortal Daoist looked calm and calm, not at all like a person who had caused a big disaster, so he put down the stone in his heart and said, "In this way, I am too old and worried. Please also ask the two donors to forgive their sins!" Pu Luochen smiled: "The immortal chief is also thinking about the safety of the disciples in the temple, what a crime, but we let the immortal chief bother!" Hearing this, the Xingying Dao people blushed slightly and said: "The old man is still speculating about the intentions of the two, but the Pu don has no intention of blaming the old man, which really makes the old man embarrassed!" Pu Luochen said: "The immortal chief is serious, since the misunderstanding has been explained clearly, let's not mention it again." The Star Immortal nodded, and did not mention the hidden matter again. After eliminating his doubts, he had no scruples, and as the abbot, the Xingying Daoist quickly agreed to the request of Shen and Pu and taught Pu Luochen to stay in the temple for a while. Pu Luochen also has a place to settle down temporarily.
