Lao Mai casually chatted with the old minister and Boss Luo to deal with a few words, patted the head of Luo Di, who had come in to make fun, and then said goodbye and left first, after all, he said that he was going to visit his old friends outside the party. Warm colors, warm colors

The old minister did not force the guest to stay, shook him goodbye with a smile, and watched his back disappear when he walked into the path.

Lao Mai actually just walked into the roadside path at will, and when the large group of people on the road couldn't see the human figure, he used the escape method and appeared to the cable car ferry with a flash.

According to the orders of Mu Qingzi, the sect master of Jinshi and the master of the Five Elephant Dao Temple, the ferryman Zhongyue has been waiting there for a long time.

Lao Mai got on the rattan basket cable car, and the middle-aged Taoist Zhongyue played a trick and used a traction disc to drive the cable car up.

Lao Maipan sat on the futon, looked at the ascending cable car, and felt as if he had changed the cable route, not to go to the other side of the stone cave valley before, but to turn the other direction.

Mu Qingzi told him that he wanted Zhongyue to take Lao Mai to Guanli, instead of the small valley where he himself was in retreat, and Lao Mai also felt that the method of going to Guanli was very formal, and there might be something important to talk about.

In addition to the public attractions, the real Wuxiang Taoist Temple is stopped by tourists, even Lao Mai has not been there, this time can be regarded as the first time to go in, he once again understood Mu Qingzi's habit of not seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles.

The rattan cable car soon stopped at a stone platform with a stone fence, and after Lao Mai stepped on the steps, the ferryman Zhongyue did not follow, but stayed where he was and waited.

At this time, there was a yellow-robed old Taoist with immortal wind bones, standing on the platform with two middle-aged Taoist priests, obviously sent by Mu Qingzi to wait for Lao Mai.

I saw that the yellow-robed old Taoist took a step forward and asked, "Is it Mai Daoyou?"

"In the next place, I have seen the Taoist," Lao Mai didn't know this old Taoist, and was busy clenching his fists in return.

The old man in the yellow robe said with a smile: "The poor road is clear, I am the abbot of the Taoist temple, and I came to greet the Taoist friends on the order of the master, Mai Daoyou, please follow the poor road into the mountain." ”

"Thank you so much, and please ask the Taoist to lead the way," Lao Mai said politely.

Facing hundreds of bluestone steps, Lao Mai climbed the steps, while looking at the three Taoists who led the way around him, he didn't notice the fluctuation of the cultivation of the true aura, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, could it be that these are real Taoist priests, not cultivators?

The yellow-robed old Dao Qingxu seemed to sense Lao Mai's suspicions, and took the initiative to explain: "Poor Dao is not a member of the Jinshi Sect, but a Taoist priest of the Qingwei Sect of the Five Elephant Dao Guan, majoring in Neidan and Lei Fa Fu, which is different from the Xiuzhen School to which your sect belongs. ”

"Oh, I see," Lao Mai came to his senses, and then asked, "Then my senior brother Mu Qingzi is the master of the Five Elephant Dao Temple, why is this? ”

Qingxu Lao Dao said with a smile: "Contempt since the experience of ten years of catastrophe, the dojo environment and buildings are very dilapidated and withered, Brother Muqing Dao many years ago into the mountain to place an order, said that it is too long to go out to travel, the intention is to return to the roots, willing to invest in the repair of the palace, only to seek a small valley to retreat, poor Dao is asking for it."

So, Brother Mu Qing Dao asked the local government to open a tourist attraction, and brought in a large amount of sponsorship, rebuilt the Wuxiang Taoist archway, the mountain gate, the mountain road and the dojo, as well as all the palaces, residences, and all the new properties are owned by the temple free of charge. ”

Only then did Lao Mai understand that Mu Qingzi had originally put the Jinshi Sect into the Five Elephants Taoist Temple, and he was just in the name of a contemplator, but in fact it had no actual relationship with the Taoist Temple.

With the full support of the Jinshi Sect, the Wuxiang Taoist Temple is like the Taoist Grand View of the Southern School, and throughout the year, there is an endless stream of seekers and travelers, and the cause of incense money is also very prosperous.

One hundred and eight steps are finished, standing in front of the square in front of a pair of large incense burners, there is a palace with tall cornices, red walls and yellow tiles, and a plaque of "Qingwei Hall" written in black is hung high.

There are two viewing halls on both sides of the back, one is the chanting hall, the other is the welcoming palace, and there is one in the back that is hidden in the green trees, which is the Sanqing Pavilion, just like the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Buddhism.

In addition, there are some winding paths that lead to the nearby monastic residences, which are hidden among the tall trees.

Abbot Qingxu led Lao Mai to the front of the steps at the entrance of the Yingke Palace, raised his hand to the door, and then said goodbye to Lao Mai, and then led the two followers to leave.

I saw two greeting Taoists standing at the door, Shi Liyan, inviting Lao Mai in, and Lao Mai walked into the gate of the welcoming palace in his casual clothes.

In addition to Mu Qingzi in the gray robe, there are two old men in the green robe, who have divided the guests and hosts to sit down on the table and on the futon to serve tea, Mu Qingzi saw Lao Mai come in, so he asked him to sit down on his right hand.

After Lao Mai sat down, his own waiter Taoist priest sent fragrant tea, he raised his eyes to see, but the distinguished guest sitting opposite the tea was an old acquaintance, without Mu Qingzi's introduction, he already knew who it was.

The one sitting at the top of the place is the Heavenly Machine Sect Master, and the one sitting at the bottom is not a stranger, it is the ethereal spirit son of the old Taoist who has fought with Lao Mai in the phantom array.

Mu Qingzi saw Lao Mai take a sip of gaiwan tea, and said: "Two Dao brothers, the people in charge of this sect have arrived, what do you have to say, please talk about it." ”

Lao Mai listened to the music, it seemed that these three had been sitting here for so long, but they were just drinking tea, and they hadn't said a word yet.

The machine put down the teacup, cleared his throat, and said: "Two Dao brothers, the poor Dao occasionally got a hexagram some time ago, and I was deeply disturbed by the view, and the literal interpretation is 'the southerners are ambushed, and the fire is golden', I am afraid that it is related to your sect, and I have come to warn to inform one or two." ”

Mu Qingzi and Lao Mai looked at each other, and they didn't understand what they meant, and the southerners understood well, what does it mean to be on the fire and under the gold, is the fire burning on it, and the iron tools are pierced in the ground?

After saying a few words, the Heavenly Machine Sect Master Di Jizi fell silent and continued to drink his tea, while the other person, Ethereal Lingzi, did not say a word from beginning to end, and slowly drank the tea.

Mu Qingzi pondered for a long time, and said to himself: "A sentence of the southerners, there are ten ** should be in my sect, although it is difficult to understand its meaning, there are nobles from the Tianji Sect to warn, no matter what, you can take precautions early." ”

Then Su Rong thanked the earth machine and said: "The sect has thanked the earth brother for coming thousands of miles to warn him, and he will report it later." ”

Lao Mai also thanked the other party Gao Yi, and thought to himself: "This Tianji Sect is really awesome, and accidental divination can also detect auspicious and evil events thousands of miles away." ”

The earth machine and the ethereal spirit son traveled thousands of miles to visit the Jinshi Sect, in fact, it was also for the sake of secrecy, because no matter whether it was a book or a message or a letter, it was possible to be intercepted and leaked, and there was no secret to use modern communication equipment, only from their own mouths and into the ears of the other party could they be truly confidential.

As for not being tracked on the road, as a high-end cultivator of one of the five major sects, only two of them went out by chance, turning around three times, no one knew where they went, and no one knew about naturally lurking into the Five Elephants Taoist Temple.

At this point, the purpose of the two Tianji Sect had been achieved, so they got up and arched their hands and offered to say goodbye and go down the mountain.

Mu Qingzi knew that the two of them were just here secretly, and they didn't want to publicize it, and it was inconvenient to stay for guests to visit and feast, so he sent the guests out with a smile on his face.

Lao Mai occasionally noticed that when the two of them went out, their faces suddenly changed, and they became unclear, and they looked at the past at a glance, and forgot in a blink of an eye, and secretly praised in their hearts: "That ethereal spirit son is worthy of being a master of illusion, regardless of the illusion array, illusion, let alone the size, it is really unbeatable." ”

After sending the distinguished guests of the Tianji Sect down the mountain by cable car, Mu Qingzi and Lao Mai returned to the small valley.

As soon as he sat down in the cabin, Mu Qingzi seemed to be impatient and asked: "Senior brother, your momentum today is completely different from usual, as the saying goes: People are in good spirits when they are happy, but have you encountered anything good?"

Lao Mai didn't want to hide it from him, so he replied with a smile: "Senior brother, I have successfully condensed the pill last night, and I have advanced to the early stage of the golden pill." ”

"Ah, really, so fast?" Mu Qingzi was taken aback, and felt joy descending from the sky for a while, and laughed, "Hahaha, it's been more than a thousand years, my sect is really blessed, and another Jindan Dao was born, and he has always led the mainland cultivation realm, which is gratifying." ”

Lao Mai said humbly: "I just got married to Jindan, and the realm has not yet had time to stabilize. ”

"Hehe," Mu Qingzi said with a smile, "After all, this is a big step, if it weren't for the foolish brother who is in retreat, the sect should have a big feast to preach, and invite people from all sects to come to celebrate and celebrate, so that they can envy us." ”

Lao Mai said: "Senior brother in charge, according to the senior brother, this matter needs to be kept secret for a period of time. ”

Mu Qingzi smiled and said, "Well, that's right, the Tianji Sect secretly came to warn, we can't figure out the secret, but we still have to guard against it." ”

Lao Mai was a little suspicious: "But junior brother, I always think that they are a bit tricky." ”

Mu Qingzi asked, "How do you say this?"

Lao Mai said: "Senior brother, I advanced to the early stage of Jindan, my spiritual sense was much higher, looking at their calm expressions, I always felt that they knew the inside story, but they were ambiguous and prompted, and they wanted to take themselves out." ”

Mu Qingzi pondered for a while and said: "If this matter is true, I don't think it will be aimed at me, an old man who is about to die, he must be here for you, after all, you are the inheritor of pure attributes, which is too thoughtful." ”

Old Mai said calmly: "Senior brother, don't worry, I have a plan in my heart." ”

Mu Qingzi said with a very fascinated expression: "I really look forward to you being able to cultivate to the Broken Pill and become an infant and advance to the Yuan Infant Stage, and at that time, there will be hope to break the void and enter the spirit realm." ”

Lao Mai smiled and said, "Senior brother, I think there will be this day." ”

Mu Qingzi sighed: "More than a thousand years ago, the ancestor of Xuanjizi must have cultivated to the Broken Pill and became a baby, and flew to the spirit world, oh, the spirit world, how desirable." ”

Mu Qingzi, who was about to die of longevity, suddenly became so emotional, but it made Lao Mai silent, he knew the physical condition of the cheap brother, and he really couldn't survive for a few years.

It is much better for Mu Qingzi to have such a vain sigh than to die without hope, just like the difference between smiling and dying.
