Chapter 258: Everything Follows Fate
Thank you: Gavriil, God of the Blazing Sky, Konoha Tea, HHHHHHIIIII6 for their support and commuter passes!
........................
Directly north of the town of Xiaqiu, there is a manor surrounded by ancient trees. In the lush greenery, you can see the exquisite gatehouse, the tall courtyard wall, and the figure of the monk.
That is the legendary family of cultivating immortals, the mansion of the Gong family.
The nine kingdoms of Shenzhou are of course many immortal gates. However, many immortal cultivators could not bear to clear the rules and precepts, or lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, or secluded in the downtown area, or wandered alone, or married their own children and spread their branches. The Shangguan family in Nanling, the Yue family in Shizhou, the Xiang family in Qiancuifeng, and the Gong family in front of him are such an existence.
As we all know, the immortal gate is mysterious and unattainable, and the so-called family of cultivating immortals has naturally become a place that people talk about. Now it coincides with the opening of Huang Yuanshan, which is said to be a rare opportunity for training. So, the monks from all walks of life gathered in Xiaqiu Town. Either make friends, or gather around the Gong family to find out the news, it is also a way to broaden your horizons and increase your experience, and so on.
Outside of the Gong family, there are several wine shops and tea shops near the end of the street. Just after noon this day, there were monks around. After eating the barbecue, he also wandered here, and found the pergola of the tea shop to sit down, and looked around alone.
That Yue Qiong, didn't come with him?
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.
Woman?
Hmph, it's no exception!
What's more, it wasn't an ordinary woman! Fortunately, she and Yue Xuan didn't change their faces, otherwise they really wouldn't be able to see the details of the two of them.
And there is still more than a month before the day when Huang Yuanshan opened the mountain gate. Now that you've come to Xiaqiu Town, it's just a little more careful.
However, according to Qi Lao Dao, Huang Yuanshan opened the mountain gate in order to recruit monks from all walks of life to come and practice, and the real intention was to recruit disciples. The father-in-law and daughter will definitely not join the Xianmen, so why bother to join in this fun? In addition to her father and daughter, will there be other hidden masters?
In addition, he has offended Gujian Mountain, Lingxia Mountain, Ziding Mountain and Yuehua Mountain, and the immortal sects in various places will not be defenseless. Why did Huang Yuanshan still open the mountain gate and the sword mound according to the usual practice, and was he not afraid that someone would take the opportunity to make trouble? In particular, Xiang Chengzi of Yue Huashan, not only was the cave looted, but the sword stone hidden in Qiancui Peak was also lost, so how could he be willing to give up? Moreover, Niu Li and Qingqiu were adjacent to each other, so he would definitely come to Huang Yuanshan to check on them. Come to think of it, a lot of anomalies......
"Xuanyu Daoyou, meet again!"
Blameless was still thinking nonsense, and a dirty old man swayed closer.
Too real?
The old man's ghost is here again. Others are weird, and the road number sounds even weirder!
Blameless ignored it and picked up the clay bowl on the table. The bowl contains a tea soup made from spring water and hay, which is also sweet to quench your thirst.
"Oh, the tea is light, not as strong as the shochu. Brother Xuanyu, may I invite you to have a bowl?"
Taishi walked directly into the tea shed, holding up a small wine jar in his hand and smiling.
There is no blame for the experience of the past, and then he refuses to suffer, and drinks all the tea and soup in one gulp, so he puts down the pottery bowl and stretches out his hand to refuse: "Old man, I am not familiar with you, please respect yourself!"
Taishi sat on the stool opposite, lifted the small wine jar and poured a sip of wine. The wine was dripping all over his beard and clothes, but he waved his sleeves and wiped it nonchalantly, and then his wrinkled old face smiled and said, "You don't have to see the outside, you are born twice and cooked twice!"
His face was slightly dark, wrinkled, and untidy, and his whole person looked sloppy and dirty, but the eyes under his long eyebrows were deep and shrewd.
Wu Yi picked up the pottery teapot and poured another bowl of tea for himself, and at a glance, he couldn't help grinning at the corners of his mouth, and said casually: "Old man, what sect are you from, why are you staying here, do you intend to go to Huangyuan Mountain, you don't want to worship the fairy gate, right......?"
In the tea shop, there were not many people.
Most of the monks gathered in a wine shop not far away. Immortal cultivators have been boring and light for a long time, and may prefer the strength of the wine.
Of course, there are also people with wine jars in their hands, but they sneak to the tea shop to join in the fun.
This old man called Taishi was such a strange person, but he didn't expect Wuji to suddenly ask in a loud voice, and he was a little surprised: "How do you know that I am from the Immortal Sect?" He looked puzzled, and said again: "Ah...... I also worshiped in the immortal gate back then, but my cultivation was not good, so I had to live in all directions, and I didn't mention it in the past! It happened here, and I heard that there were many opportunities in the sword mound of Huang Yuanshan, so I wanted to try my luck!"
He paused for a moment, and said curiously: "Xuanyu, I see that although you are vulgar, you have strange bones and open eyebrows, you must have your own furrow in your belly, and you will not let yourself fall in order to worship the immortal gate, right?"
The old man's tone was kind, but the words he spoke were mixed. What does it mean to be vulgar? and don't look at your filthy appearance. And if you worship the immortal gate, you will fall? Sounds a bit new. Besides, since he borrowed Xuanyu's Dao name, whether it is good or bad is borne by him.
Wu Yi smiled slightly, and asked instead of answering: "Old man, did you mean that there are many people who just go to Huang Yuanshan to try their luck?"
Now there are nearly 100 monks gathered in Xiaqiu Town. As Huang Yuanshan's trip approached, more monks would come. Among them, there are good and bad, and everyone has it. As for how many masters such as the father-in-law and daughter are hidden, it is unknown for the time being.
Taishi raised the wine jar and took another sip of wine, and said blankly: "Daoyou is really interesting, what did I just say?"
When the old man opened his mouth, he was chattering, and when he looked back on it, he was all inconsequential words, and he really couldn't grasp any handles.
Wu Yi picked up the tea bowl and looked at Taishi silently. From the other party's expression, appearance, and clothing, they kept looking back and forth. He wanted to find something out of it, but he couldn't see anything.
Taishi looked impatient, got up and left, and complained: "You are young, but you are scheming, unlike a good person, it is really difficult to get along with." I'm going to talk to other fellow Daoists, hum!"
Wu Yi slowly tasted the tea soup, and secretly slandered for a while.
I'm not like a good person?
Damn old man, you're not a moral gentleman either!
At this time, someone in the wine shop not far away exclaimed in a low voice.
"The monk of the Gong family, the master of foundation building!"
"Although that woman is also young and beautiful, she is not a master of foundation building......"
"Daoist friends are dumbfounded, aren't they? I mean that middle-aged man, named Gong Zhen, is the elder figure of the Gong family......"
"What about the woman......?"
"His name is Gong Yue, the cultivation of the ninth layer of Yushi, tsk!"
"Everyone, be careful, don't get into trouble!"
Two people walked down the street, a middle-aged man and a young woman. The men are dressed in white and have black hair and shawls. The two of them walked lightly, without squinting, and walked through the street, crossed the hillside in front of them, and disappeared in an instant into the courtyard surrounded by ancient trees.
In the shops on both sides of the street, more than a dozen monks were still whispering.
Blameless put down the tea bowl, and was not interested.
It's nothing more than a lively place to get to know a few Taoist friends. Within three to five days, no useful information was heard. Besides, I don't want to deal with people, so as not to expose my flaws. And return to the inn, and act when the time comes.
Wu Yi took out a small ingot of gold and threw it on the table, and the tea shopkeeper thanked him again and again. And before he left, someone walked into the tea shed: "A bowl of vulgar tea soup is just a half-ingots of red gold that is worthy of Taoist friends, it is really generous, hehe!"
It turned out to be Yue Xuan, who came pacing behind his back with one hand and stroking his beard with the other.
"Well, I'm also poor, so poor that I only have gold left......"
Without blame, he said perfunctorily, and walked out of the tea shed with his feet raised.
The unexpected reunion with the father-in-law's father and daughter made him very unconfident. Besides, as a master of foundation building, this Yue Xuan is by no means simple, it is better to stay away, so as not to cause extraneous branches.
"Hehe, Daoyou really know how to laugh......"
Yue Xuan also wanted to take the opportunity to say a few words, but the figure passed by. He hurriedly turned around and chased after him: "Xuanyu Daoyou, why did you leave?"
"I'm tired, I'm going to sleep...... That one...... Retreat for a few days!"
didn't blame him or not, but he almost leaked his mouth.
Alas, don't monks have to sleep?
"As far as I know, in the middle of September, the monks of the town will rush to Huangyuan Mountain. It's the right time for Taoist friends to recuperate. But ......"
Yue Xuan caught up with Wu Xuan, and the two walked side by side, he continued: "I have something to do, and it is inconvenient to go, and the little girl is alone, I can't rest assured." If you can take care of one or two, you will be grateful in the future!"
Wu blame paused, and looked back in surprise: "You mean...... Let me take care of Ling's concubine?"
Yue Xuan nodded with a smile, and said as a matter of course: "You are a master of the ninth layer of the Yushi, and your cultivation is far stronger than that of a little girl, and it is not unreasonable to take care of you on the way!
The corners of his mouth were grinned, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and he continued to move forward, simply not saying a word.
What does it mean? A master of foundation building actually wants a junior of a feather monk to take care of me? I think I have no flaws, how can his father and daughter entangle me?
"Forgive me for taking the plunge!"
Yue Xuan then said: "I just care about affection, and I don't have any other intentions!"
Just walked, turned into the alley, went to Huangji barbecue shop to buy charcoal pots, charcoal, spices and other things, and swept away the remaining more than ten catties of venison, and then happily continued to move forward. Yue Xuan looked at Rarity and took the opportunity to ask. He still ignored it, and returned with a full load in the pastry shop.
After a while, when I arrived at the inn and went up to the second floor, the doors of several guest rooms in a row were wide open, and there was no trace of Yue Qiong's woman.
Wu Xuan stopped in front of his guest room door, and Yue Xuan actually followed. He turned around to block it, and said not unapologetically: "I have never claimed that I want to go to Huang Yuanshan, and I can't mention it if I take care of Ling Yanzhi." Let's retreat for a few days, and I won't be accompanied!"
Yue Xuan was very puzzled, and said in amazement: "Since you are unwilling to go to Huangyuan Mountain, why do you stay here?"
"I travel all over the world, and I pay attention to everything according to fate!"
Blameless and unfathomable replied, entered the guest room, stretched out his hand to cover the door, and saw that Yue Xuan was still standing in place, and immediately gave a reserved smile: "Yue Daoyou, out of company!"
The door creaked shut, followed by a flicker.
Yue Xuan took a few steps back, his expression suspicious......
