Ordinary people in the world of Uncle Nine

Chapter 397 In front of the Shangqing Palace
...

"Why is the bell ringing at this time?"

The sudden sound of the bell made Li Mu and Ah Xing, who were practicing in the yard, startle. After three bells rang, neither of them understood what happened.

Although Li Mu has studied Taoism with Uncle Jiu for more than three years, after all, he has never been to the Maoshan sect. Apart from the ancestral training and precepts of Maoshan, he doesn’t know much about it, let alone Ah Xing. As soon as he came to Maoshan , Zhang Jiehe was like a dragon that had never seen its end, and later simply announced that he would retreat and break through the realm, and no one came to explain it to him, so the two of them stayed where they were after the bell passed.

Until the disciples from Longhu Mountain passed by outside one after another and saw the two of them still standing there, they shouted to them: "Why are you still here? At three o'clock the bell rings, you have to go to the front hall to gather. If you go late, be careful not to be punished!"

The back mountain area is where the disciples of Longhu Mountain live. Although Asing, as Zhang Jixie's disciple, has also lived here for a short time, Zhang Jixie has not returned to the mountain for many years, except for those in Gaoyang who once took great care of him. Disciple, although the disciples in the sect know that the legendary young master uncle has recently returned, they don’t know what the young master uncle looks like.

What's more, he was the apprentice of the young master's uncle, so the passing disciple thought that Ah Xing and Li Mu had not gathered in the front hall when they heard the bell, so he opened his mouth to remind them.

After the man shouted, he turned around and left in a hurry. At this time, a child who was cutting fabric to make clothes heard the noise and leaned out. He happened to see the man's leaving back and asked the two of them doubtfully.

"Senior brother, Brother Li, what happened?"

"Uh... I don't want to do it... The man just said that the bell rings three times. Where should we go?"

Regarding the child's question, Ah Xing looked confused.

"In the front hall, there may be something going on. Why don't you follow us and take a look?"

Li Mu stood aside and said thoughtfully, anyway, they don't know what happened now, but looking at the hurried way of the Longhu Mountain disciple just now, it seems that the matter is not big, so he suggested that Axing and Xiaotong follow him to investigate. The truth.

As for why Li Mu didn't come together, it was because he was not a disciple of Longhu Mountain. If it was related to the secrets of Longhu Mountain, it would be bad if there was a misunderstanding if he, an outsider, went there.

After Li Mu explained the relationship clearly, Axing and Xiaotong no longer struggled with whether he could go there together, and they set off along the route that the disciple had just left.

When Li Mu returned to the house, he saw Xiaobao's arms spread out, and he was standing there in a daze.

It turned out that the child was cutting cloth for him to make clothes. At this time, the cloth was still hanging on his body and had not been taken off. Apparently, the child had forgotten to take it off.

When Li Mu saw this, he walked over and took off the pins that fixed the fabric, then placed the fabric on the table aside and fell into deep thought.

Xiaobao on the side originally wanted to ask Li Mu where the boy had gone and whether he was still making these clothes, but seeing his appearance at this time, he did not ask further questions. Instead, he brought a low stool and sat beside Li Mu quietly. Waiting.

For a moment, the room was extremely silent, except for the sound of the two breathing.

Li Mu felt that the bell ringing today was unusual. He had lived here for almost a month, and he probably figured out some rules. The bell would ring at a fixed time every day on the mountain. This time was not the time to ring the bell. Knocking three times in a row means that something is unusual and you just don’t know what’s going on.

It shouldn’t be a big deal!
……

In front of the Shangqing Palace, many people gathered bustlingly, and they all began to inquire about what happened to the familiar people around them. The front of the palace seemed a little noisy for a while.

"Quiet, no noise is allowed in front of the Shangqing Palace. How impetuous is this?"

Amid the discussion, a majestic shout came from the Shangqing Hall, and then a solemn Taoist wearing a bun and a blue robe walked out of the Shangqing Hall. When he appeared in front of the Shangqing Hall After that, all the disciples present suddenly became silent as if their throats were being suppressed.Axing and Xiaotong happened to see this scene when they arrived, so they looked at the man in surprise.

"Isn't this Senior Brother Gao Feng?"

"Why does he look so ugly?"

The two of them stood at the back of the crowd and looked at the disciples who were standing on the steps scolding the disciples below. Each of those disciples looked like defeated generals, lowering their heads and sighing, not daring to look at him.

Except for the two people present, A Xing and Xiao Tong, who didn't know why, all of them looked like this, so they were made extremely conspicuous.

"Junior Brother A Xing, Junior Sister Xiaotong? You are here too!"

No, he was still reprimanding these younger disciples for being frivolous and disobeying the precepts. At the peak of the Shangqing Palace, they saw two people who seemed to stand out from the crowd.

When Gao Feng discovered the two of them, a strange color flashed across his face, and then he walked down the steps towards the two. Upon seeing this, many disciples made way for a passage and looked at Xiaotong and Ah Xing at the same time.

"Senior Brother Gao Feng, what's going on? What was the bell ringing just now?"

When Axing and Xiaotong saw Gao Feng approaching, they naturally could not continue to stand there and wait, so they hurriedly approached him and asked him their doubts.

The Longhu Mountain disciples gathered in front of him include some he has seen before, but with so many people gathered here, even if Asing is very nervous, he can still feel something abnormal, not to mention Gao Feng, a person who looks kind and amicable. Ah Xing could not help but be affected by the fact that he had lost such a temper just now, and his tone was cautious when asking questions.

"...That's right. You guys have been in seclusion since you arrived at Shanmen. You don't understand these things. This bell..."

Gao Feng was startled when he heard Ah Xing's words. Then he thought of something and realized it. Then he explained to them the situation of the clock in Longhu Mountain.

When Ah Xing and the child heard that the three ringing of the bell meant that evil spirits were out to harm people, the child couldn't help but glance at Ah Xing. She was careful and immediately thought of Li Mu's encounter with God at the foot of the mountain.

She had just met Allah and knew that he had a purpose for Longhu Mountain. However, Longhu Mountain had not seen any movement in the past few days and was wondering. So when she heard what Gao Feng said, she Subconsciously associate them together.

But Ah Xing obviously didn't receive her signal.

"Uh... are the big guys gathered here to go down the mountain to exorcise evil spirits and slay demons?"

After hearing what Gao Feng said, Ah Xing frowned and scanned the many disciples, finally landing on Gao Feng and asking with a twinkling look.

He knows his own abilities. Although he has made some progress these days, let him go down the mountain.
I'm afraid exorcising evil spirits is not enough to fill the gaps between people's teeth, so I can't help but feel guilty and regret following me. What if his name is called to go down the mountain later, then should he go or not?

Go, he is afraid that he can't deal with it, so he shouldn't go. With so many people watching just now, it would be okay if no one knew his identity, but after Gao Feng shouted just now, everyone now knows that he is Longhu during this period. The disciple of Zhang Jie, who is in the limelight because he wants to break through to the Heavenly Master realm, is the junior uncle of the descendant of Longhu Mountain.

If he is too timid to leave when the time comes, what will these younger disciples think of him?

Ah Xing was a little upset by the sudden news. For a moment, he actually forgot that although he was Zhang Jijie's disciple, his cultivation level was only that of a Taoist disciple, not even a Taoist priest. How could he be allowed to go down the mountain? , it is true that I think too much!
