A knife in love

Chapter 600

Everyone looked at the waterfall from a distance, thinking about each other.At this moment, five figures appeared on the hillside to the right of the waterfall.These five people were dressed in gray robes with fluttering sleeves, and they appeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.

I saw that these five people had their heads combed in buns, wore gray Taoist robes, and had long swords slanted on their backs. They were actually five female Taoist priests.The female Taoist priest in the lead, who was over 40 years old, walked up to Yuanjue, put her palm up in front of her body, bowed slightly to Yuanjue, and said: "Poverty Dao Qingyun, by the order of my master, come here Welcome Master Yuanjue."

Yuanjue clasped his hands together, and said: "The poor monk Yuanjue is just a monk in a wild temple. The word 'master' is shameless."

Li Qiufeng heard the Taoist say that his Taoist name is Qingyun, he is of the same generation as Qingxu seen in Wenwang Temple, and they are both the second generation disciples of Wuji Temple.He thought to himself, just now he saw her and four other Taoist priests floating down the hillside, although there was still snow and ice on the ground, but these five people not only walked fast, but also walked extremely steadily, this lightness skill is very remarkable.Especially this Daoist Qingyun, whose lightness kung fu is far superior to his fellow disciples, compared to Yunxuan's first disciple Qingxu, it may be several times higher.

Qingyun smiled slightly, and said: "Master, why should you be polite. To be honest, when the master was in the Wuji Temple, Pindao took care of the master. After a long absence, seeing Master Qingyan again, Pindao is quite happy in his heart."

Yuanjue was startled, and looked at Qingyun carefully.But I saw that this female Taoist priest looked dignified, quite graceful and luxurious.It's just that I recalled the situation in Wuji temple that day, but I don't remember where I saw this female Taoist priest.

Seeing that Yuanjue frowned and said nothing, Qingyun smiled and said: "When Pindao first entered Wuji Temple, she was just a nine-year-old girl. It was very cold that winter, and the clothes I wore were in tatters. Cold air. There is no clothes I can wear in the view, or a master uncle made his Taoist robe smaller and gave it to me to wear. It's just that the robe is still a little big for a nine-year-old doll. From time to time, when I stepped on the corner of my robe, I was about to fall. At the end of the day, several big bumps fell out on my head. The master was helping in the kitchen at that time. Seeing my bruised nose and swollen face, he applied the Herbs, and changed my clothes for me. The master is kind-hearted, and he helped many people in the Wuji temple, so naturally he doesn’t remember these small things. It’s just that the master left the temple shortly after I entered the temple. After a hasty farewell, It has been more than thirty years since we saw each other. Master returned to Yuntai Mountain today, and it is also God's favor."

Although Yuanjue vaguely remembers this incident, but the past is like smoke, but he can no longer remember what that little girl looked like back then.When I was a little embarrassed, I heard Qingyun say: "My master will go to retreat in a few days. If the master has something to tell her, it's better to go to Wuji temple as soon as possible."

Yuan Jue nodded and said, "Then Daoist Lao will lead the way."

Qingyun said repeatedly: "Don't dare, dare not. Please follow me."

After she finished speaking, she and the other four female Taoist priests led the way and walked back to the way they came.Yuanjue naturally knew the way to Wuji Temple, but Wuji Temple was so solemn that it sent five disciples to meet him.Hearing what Qingyun said just now, she is actually a direct disciple of Yunxuan, the master of Wuji Temple.Although I am the abbot of Kule Temple, but compared with Wuji Temple, my status is divided into heaven and earth.Yun Xuan acted like this, it was giving himself a big face.Therefore, the guest does what the owner does, and he is determined not to rush in hastily.So she brought the nuns of Kule Temple and Huang Xu to follow behind the five Taoist priests, not daring to rush in at all.

Situ Qiao and Li Qiufeng walked last, feeling uneasy, and said in a low voice: "Damn, look at the behavior of these female Taoist priests, how can they look like monks at all? They look a bit like officials, and they even set up a guard of honor." .”

Li Qiufeng smiled slightly, and said: "Wuji Guan has a lot of influence in the martial arts, and has received full support from the two major sects of Shaolin and Wudang. If it weren't for the Taoism in the temple, I am afraid that its status today is only among Shaolin and Wudang. It is above Huashan, Taishan and other famous sects. The master of Wuji Temple can send five disciples to meet Master Yuanjue, that is enough face. It's just that this matter is a bit strange..."

When he said this, he stopped talking, with a thoughtful expression on his face.Situ Qiao said: "Brother Li thinks he has some doubts. Kule Nunnery is just a tiny nunnery, not a famous monastery. Although Yuan Jue knows some martial arts, his skills are low-level. If he dies, he is just a member of the world. Third- and fourth-rate characters. Wuji Temple used this ostentation to welcome Yuanjue, which is a bit weird."

Li Qiufeng said: "That's right. Even if Master Yunxuan, the master of Wuji Temple, treats people kindly, behind her is the whole Wuji Temple. As the suzerain of a sect, one has to respect one's own identity, and will definitely not be so strict."

Situ Qiao smiled and said, "Brother Li, I'm afraid that the Wuji Temple values ​​Kule Temple so much, it's because of your brother Li's blessing."

Li Qiufeng was taken aback, and said, "What does Mr. Situ mean by that?"

Situ Qiao said: "Brother Li killed the pirates in the Wenwang Temple, captured Wei Gan, saved the lives of a group of useless people in Wujiguan, and showed his skills in front of that old lady Yunxuan. Although this old lady is rude, she is also a person who knows the goods She went back to the Wuji Temple first, and she must have told the twelve fairies about it. These Taoist priests heard that Brother Li is so powerful and saved the people of the Wuji Temple, so naturally they should be respectful and polite, and put on a big show of honor."

Li Qiufeng shook his head, and said: "Although Wei Qian hurt Yun Xuan, he used methods that were not on the table. According to Yun Xuan's temperament, he would not take him seriously. In Wei Gan's hands, it's not because of martial arts, but because Wuji Temple has never walked around in the rivers and lakes, and doesn't know the tricks of these demons and heretics. Therefore, Taoist Master Yunxuan saw my method of arresting Wei Gan, and he must see that I am not good at it. It’s definitely not for me to act like this in Wuji Temple.”

Situ Qiao was slightly taken aback, and then said after a while: "Damn, ever since I saw that water pool, I... I always feel something is wrong. It stands to reason that Wuji Temple is a well-known and upright school, and it should be upright. Just look at these Taoist nuns. It looks quite sinister. Could it be that there were too many dead people on both sides in the fight with the Demon Cult back then, which made this majestic Yuntai Mountain also tainted with ghostly aura?"

Li Qiufeng listened to him talking about ghosts and gods, and felt contemptuous in his heart, so he didn't want to say any more, walked a few steps quickly, and followed closely behind the nuns of Kule Nunnery.A group of people walked on the ridge, on the left was a large waterfall filled with water vapor, and on the right was a cliff as deep as hundreds of feet.Everyone didn't dare to look to the left and right, so they had to walk straight north without looking sideways.

After walking straight for more than half an hour, the sky was getting late and the surroundings were dark.After turning around a hillside, we have already circled to the back of the mountain where the waterfall is located.I saw a cliff with a height of fifty or sixty feet protruding in front of me. The top of the cliff was filled with clouds and mist, and I didn't know what it looked like.It's just that there is a large flat land under the cliff, and a majestic Taoist temple has been built close to the cliff. From a distance, the white walls and black tiles of this Taoist temple are extremely spectacular.

Yuanjue saw the concept of Wuji appeared in front of her eyes, even though she had practiced dry meditation for decades, her heart was shocked at this moment.The past events from decades ago came to the fore one by one, the eyes became hot, and tears almost flowed down.

When everyone saw this Taoist temple, they felt that they had only walked over a hundred feet, which seemed not too far away.It's just that the deep valleys in front of the Taoist temple are criss-crossed, and you can't go straight. You can only go along a stone path with a width of only a few feet.The stone path is paved along the ridge, and sometimes not only can't go straight, but it has to go around backwards, so it took a full half an hour to walk this way before arriving at the gate of Wuji Temple.

When viewed from a distance, one can vaguely see that Wuji Temple has three courtyards surrounded by a wall.But before arriving at the mountain gate, I found that the mountain gate of Wuji Temple stands on nine stone steps, and there is a wall on the stone steps, which is more than ten feet high.So standing under the stone steps, you can't see what's inside the mountain gate.

I saw a large flat ground in front of the Wuji Temple, but at this time there were fifty or sixty female Taoist priests standing there.One of the white-haired nuns stood in front of the crowd.The old Taoist girl wore her hair in a high bun and her white eyebrows drooped down.Judging from her hair and eyebrows, this old Taoist nun is six to seventy years old.It's just that her complexion is as rosy as a baby's, without even a single wrinkle.Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he thought to himself that the Taoist priest's internal strength had obviously reached the peak.I often heard the master say that if the inner strength of the family has been practiced to a very deep level, it will return to its original nature, just like a baby.Looking at the appearance of this Taoist priest, there is a faint aura of immortality. Even great masters like Yu Qingzi and Guangzhi may not have the cultivation base of this Taoist priest.

Behind the old Taoist nun stood six female Taoist priests side by side, most of them had gray hair, and they were all over 50 years old.Behind the six female Taoist priests stood dozens of people tall and short, all wearing Taoist robes and holding long swords on their backs.I saw the group of Taoists with their sleeves fluttering, and they were quite immortal.

When Yuanjue saw the old Taoist nun who was the leader, his heart was shaken and he stopped involuntarily.When Huiqing and the others saw Master stop, they also stopped.Standing behind the nuns, Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "Look at this appearance, the old Taoist nun is naturally the real Yunxuan, the master of the Wuji Temple, and the six female Taoist priests standing behind her are probably one of the twelve fairies of the Wuji Temple. There are six of them. It’s just that Daoist Yunxuan who I met in Wenwang Temple was not among them, presumably he was seriously injured and stayed in the temple to recuperate.”

Taoist Qingyun led the four female Taoist priests to the old nun and said a few words in a low voice.The old Taoist nun nodded, Qingyun gave a deep salute, and walked quickly with the other four female Taoist priests to the back of the six female Taoist priests, and joined the group of Taoists.

I just heard the old Taoist girl in the lead say slowly: "It's been more than thirty years since we saw each other again today, what a blessing."

Yuanjue walked a few steps quickly, and came to a distance of ten feet in front of the old Taoist nun, then stopped, put his hands together, and said in a trembling voice: "Poor monk Yuanjue, see Master Yunxuan, the master of Wuji Temple."

Yun Xuan smiled slightly, and said: "Since you left Wuji Temple, Master and her old man have been thinking about it. Master is the master of a temple today, if her old man in heaven knows about this, she will be very happy."

The corners of Yuanjue's mouth twitched a few times, and he said in a trembling voice, "Amitabha, I...poor monk...master..."

She said a few words, but couldn't make a sentence. She only felt the corners of her eyes warm up, and two lines of tears had already flowed down.

Yun Xuan nodded slightly, and said: "Junior Sister Yunxuan returned to Wuji Temple yesterday, and we were both surprised and happy when we met the master. I heard that the master is going to come to Wuji Temple, so all old friends should do it early. I am ready. Master, please enter the contemplation."
