Chapter 20 The Sorrow of the Demonic Saint (20)

The night was getting darker, and a few stars appeared faintly in the sky, floating in the clouds and mist, looming.

They were already injured, and now they had no spiritual power. After walking for half a day, they were already tired and hungry.

The mist in the mountains was getting thicker, bringing with it a chill, and Gu Nian couldn't help but shiver.

Xie Yanqing stopped and said, "It's getting late now. After walking for so long, the girl must be tired. Let's find a place to rest for a while."

Gu Nian nodded eagerly.

There were no taverns or tea shops in this deserted place, so they had to find a secluded place to sit down.

Xie Yanqing found some dry branches and lit them. The warmth brought by the flames finally dissipated some of the cold air.

"You sit here for a while, and I'll see if I can find some food."

"it is good."

Gu Nian nodded lightly and sat quietly by the fire, her pale face unable to conceal her exhaustion.

After a while, I saw Xie Yanqing coming back carrying a rabbit.

His slender jade-like fingers flew up and down dexterously, and with a few clicks, a cleanly skinned rabbit was placed on the fire and roasted.

Gu Nian was a little stunned when he saw it. It was obviously an extremely bloody thing, but in his hands, skinning became a pleasure to watch.

Sure enough, good-looking people look good in whatever they do.

Xie Yanqing's clothes were clean and tidy from beginning to end, except for a little blood on his fingertips, but he wiped it off quickly.

There happened to be a few clusters of firelight shining, and the rabbit made a crackling sound as it was roasted.

His long legs were slightly bent, and he was leaning sideways, with his black hair flowing down. The firelight reflected on his jade-like cheeks, and the mist between the light and shadow entangled, giving people a handsome appearance like a orchid or jade tree.

The aroma of barbecue filled the air. Gu Nian was already hungry at this time. When he smelled the meat, his eyes were fixed on the rabbit. He couldn't help but swallowed. "It smells so good. Xie Yanqing, what are you doing?" Can you do everything?"

Xie Yanqing looked at her greedy look and gently raised the corners of his lips with a gentle smile in his eyes. Then he took off the rabbit from the fire and handed it to her, "Eat it, be careful not to burn it."

Well, the heat is just right.

Gu Nian was very satisfied and raised her eyebrows happily. Seeing that he hadn't eaten yet, she tore off another piece of meat and put it to his lips, "No, let's eat together."

The girl's eyes are clean and pure, without any impurities. When she looks at you intently, it seems that you are her whole world.

Xie Yanqing subconsciously opened his mouth to bite it, and then said vaguely, "It's delicious."

The night was uneventful.

The early morning light shines from the top of the mountain, the clouds and mist slowly drift in, and the fine dust floats in the air, floating and sinking under the light.

The two then walked towards the mountain along the bluestone road.

The further up I went, the more I felt something was wrong.

The ancient tree next to it, if he saw it correctly, was the Floating Light Tree?
The Floating Light Tree has become extinct since the fairy world disappeared thousands of years ago. It is said that one can achieve great success by enlightening under the Floating Light Tree.

Both sides of the road are full of flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains like Chinese cabbage. Are they Lingxiao flowers?
Even if there are Lingxiao flowers in today's spiritual realm, I have never seen such wild flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains. There are so many that it is dazzling.

The conditions where the Lingxiao Flower grows are extremely harsh, requiring sufficient spiritual energy and being surrounded by clouds and mist.

It is said that after taking it, it can directly increase the concentration period to two major realms.

There is also the Bodhi tree, which is full of Bodhi fruits and no one is picking them.

The Bodhi tree blooms only once in a hundred years and bears fruit only once in a thousand years.

Bodhi fruit can purify the Taoist mind, purify spiritual power, eliminate evil spirits, and even suppress inner demons.

They are like cabbage here, no one cares about them.

Gu Nian was amazed when he saw it, while Xie Yanqing pinched his fingertips calmly.

It's a pity that you can't take anything with you in the illusion.

A vague guess gradually became clear.When they finally reached the top of the mountain, all they could see was a simple and elegant temple.

The cornices are upturned, the beams are carved, and the carved wooden door rails are printed with complex patterns. Every turn contains smooth grace.

On the uppermost center of the gate, which is made of fine golden nanmu wood, there are three simple yet grand characters engraved on it.

Kongshan Temple.

Xie Yanqing paused slightly, and a glimmer of understanding flashed across his eyes.

Sure enough.

The extinct floating tree, the sky flowers all over the mountains and plains, and the bodhi fruit that no one cares about.

Everything points to that answer.

The world of immortals disappeared thousands of years ago.

Kongshan Temple perished along with the Immortal World thousands of years ago.

When he saw that ancient book in the library, he felt quite regretful.

There was also a sweeping monk at the door holding a broom and sweeping the floor slowly and leisurely.

When the man saw a stranger coming up, he looked at the two of them with some surprise.

This was the first time he saw a mortal ascending the empty city mountain.

He put down the broom in his hand, then clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name, "Amitabha."

"Two donors, what's the matter with you?" The young monk looked young, and his voice was still childish, but his tone was extremely calm and powerful. "

Xie Yanqing slightly cupped his hands, and then said, "Xie Yanqing, my family has unexpectedly fallen into decline. My parents died of illness and I have nowhere to go. We, brother and sister, want to stay here temporarily for a while."

He had a hunch that the key to breaking the formation might be in Kongshan Temple.

Gu Nian couldn't hold back her smile as she listened to Xie Yanqing's serious nonsense.

In order not to be discovered, she hurriedly saved her life, "We, brother and sister, have lived a carefree life despite being rich and powerful since childhood. Unexpectedly, my father died suddenly last month, and my mother couldn't bear it and died along with him." Go and leave your little daughter alone with her eldest brother to depend on each other."

"We sold all our money and worked hard all the way to get here. Little Master is kind-hearted, please accept us!" After saying this, he lightly wiped the corners of his eyes.

The clothes on both of them were torn and stained with blood, and their faces were as pale as paper, making them look even more convincing.

When the young monk heard this, his eyes were unbearable and he looked pitiful. He turned sideways and bowed and said, "Amitabha, you two, please follow me."

The young monk took them to the backyard, pointed to the two side rooms in the courtyard and said, "Amitabha, you two will live here from now on."

"Thank you so much, little master." Xie Yanqing said gently and politely.

Not far away, the pale yellow sycamore flowers were in full bloom, and the gentle breeze blew through the treetops, filling the courtyard with a faint fragrance.

"Dare you ask me my little master's name?"

The young monk waved his hand quickly: "The donor is very polite. The monk's name is Kong Yi. Since the donor has arrived, Kong Yi will leave first."

"Excuse me, little master Kongyi." Gu Nian smiled at him with crooked eyebrows.

The young monk Kong Yi couldn't help but blush, and muttered "Amitabha".

Then he quickly walked out of the backyard.

……

So far, they have settled in Kongshan Temple.

After you move in, you will inevitably hear someone's name from time to time.

Master Xuan Yu.
