Young man, please stay

Chapter 335: Yu Xin Jue

Are there any monsters in Yunzhou?
Or have there ever been demons?

Qin Lang actually asked this question several times.

And Su Yupan's answer at this moment was also one that Qin Lang had heard several times.

"I don't know because I haven't seen it, but I believe it because Third Senior Sister has seen it."

"Tsk, that's right..."

When Qin Lang traveled from Jingzhou to Yangzhou, there had always been legends about blood-sucking monsters in the wild boar forest.

Although it was later confirmed that it was the evil demon Lao Deng of Juxian Hall, Qin Lang did ask Zhuo Beibei about the Yunzhou demon tribe at that time, and Zhuo Beibei's answer was "I don't know much about it, I've only seen it once."

"If you've only seen it once... then to put it bluntly, it's not certain that it's a demon..."

Qin Lang chewed his nails and thought, but he couldn't figure out anything. He could only worry:
"Since someone from Chanzhen Temple has come to warn you, that means the Ten Thousand Souls Forest is indeed dangerous this year and even you, the baby, need to be careful, right?"

"Maybe…"

"Although I can't imagine what kind of danger in this world can threaten an existence like you, baby, but the things in the Ten Thousand Souls Forest should be different from ordinary people, so baby, you..."

Qin Lang came over and bit Su Yupan's face twice:

"…How about you not go to the Northern Hunt this year?"

"you're so dumb?"

Su Yupan pressed Qin Lang's forehead, but after he bit her cheek, she looked at him with an inexplicably doting look:

"This year's Northern Hunt has a greater significance. We urgently need to take this opportunity to find out the current situation of Beili. How can I not go just because of some unclear rumors?"

"Then besides me, Zhuo Beibei has to go too."

Su Yupan smiled:
"If Third Senior Sister is willing, then of course you can."

She knew that Qin Lang wanted Zhuo Beibei to go, and he also considered that in case something happened, it would be best to have one more person of Zhuo Beibei's level.

"Also, baby, what's up with the monks in Chanzhen Temple? Since they've warned you, are they indifferent? The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty went north to hunt in the Ten Thousand Souls Forest. Mangzhou is an east-west corridor in the north, and the distance between north and south is very narrow. Yunzhou is just south of Mangzhou. Chanzhen Temple is one of the three sects after all. Can't they send out some decent personnel to protect the emperor?"

Su Yupan shook his head helplessly:
"The Chanzhen Temple, like Wuliang Mountain, claims to be an existence that is detached from the mundane world, so..."

"Okay, got it."

When Qin Lang heard that it was the same as Wuliang Mountain, he understood and was not surprised.

Anyway, according to the stereotypes that Qin Lang learned from the storybooks, there are never any good people among monks and Taoists.

Of course, there are not no good people at all.

Instead, the weaker the strength, the more good people there are; the stronger the strength, the more they say things like "not getting involved in worldly affairs" and "being detached from the world", etc. In fact, they always have extremely selfish purposes.

However, in Qin Lang's view, selfishness is not terrible.

……

Selfishness is a basic human nature.

The people of the Great Zhou, or the entire Middle-earth civilization, have always been hardworking and kind because of their tradition of self-reliance through farming. Their "selfishness" is often centered around "keeping to one's lot" and "not meddling in other people's affairs."

This is not like some exotic civilizations that Qin Lang learned about in Tianshan. The selfishness of those barbarians is "aggressive" and "exclusive", which is even unimaginable to most people of Middle-earth civilization.

Therefore, rather than being selfish, Qin Lang was more worried that those monks and Taoists might have some more unknown purposes, so they pretended to be "detached".

……

Qin Lang's worry is not just a groundless conspiracy theory.

Also among the three sects, Tianhe Sect's business spreads throughout the Great Zhou, and it even competes with the imperial court. However, Chanzhen Temple and Wuliang Mountain are not keen on setting up temples and offering incense everywhere.

For example, Chanzhen Temple guards its one and a half acres of land in Yunzhou, and Wuliang Mountain is an isolated island on the sea. It seems that the monks and Taoists there are particularly frugal and have no desires.

Qin Lang didn't quite believe this.

Because they have even become so "transcendent" that no universal scriptures or theories have been circulated. What Buddhist and Taoist scriptures can be seen among the people are only very basic things. The slightly deeper Buddhist and Taoist teachings can only be accessed internally, and they strictly restrict the recruitment of fresh blood.

It is possible to be without desires, but how can one be without demands?

In the past, Qin Lang had not thought so much about Wuliang Mountain alone, but now that Chanzhen Temple is put together, he always feels that there is a layer of weirdness in the "transcendence" of these two behemoths.

Although it was just a shallow thought, Qin Lang couldn't help but squeeze the empress's jade hand:
"Baby…"

"Qin Lang, do you know why I called you here today?"

"?"

Qin Lang was stunned when he was suddenly interrupted by the empress.

What's the matter?
Isn't it just to illustrate this situation?
However, the empress's expression became serious:

"Qin... Junior Brother."

"what?"

Qin Lang was a little slow to react.

Although he was indeed Yao Chi's junior fellow apprentice and Empress Baby was his junior sister, usually it was Zhuo Beibei who liked to call him "junior fellow apprentice" from time to time. And now that Su Yupan, the master craftsman in dragon robes, suddenly addressed him so seriously, Qin Lang was somewhat uncomfortable with it.

“Baby, you…” “What baby?”

The empress deliberately frowned and patted his hand:

"Be serious and call me Senior Sister."

"..."

All right. Qin Lang pursed his lips, frowned, nodded slightly, and clasped his fists towards the empress:

"Sister."

"..."

"?"

Qin Lang, with his head slightly lowered, didn't know what the empress's expression was at the moment. He was just surprised that her hands folded on her legs seemed to be pinching around restlessly.

In fact, the empress was a little "unable to hold it" at this time.

……

Senior sister...

Senior sister...

It seems like this is the first time he has ever called me "Senior Sister" in a serious manner...

Well…

It's just a name, but why do I feel so...

……

The empress naturally couldn't reveal what was in her mind at this moment, so she immediately made a mental gesture to calm down the confusion in her eyes and the blush on her face, and cleared her throat:
"Junior brother, I...I..."

"?"

"Hey, Junior Brother, I, Senior Sister... have specially asked you to come to the palace right now because of a matter within the sect."

"Inside the sect?"

The sect is Yao Chi, Qin Lang found it new and interesting. Our leader is dead, and the eldest senior sister is still alive in the rumors. What kind of "internal affairs" could the sect have now?
"Junior brother, today, I will formally teach you our sect's secret mental method, the 'Yu Xin Jue'."

"!"

As soon as the three words [Yu Xin Jue] came out, Qin Lang looked up suddenly, and a sense of realization appeared in his mind.

He had been learning the incomplete "Mu Xin Jue" from Mu Xuanli since he was young. After he had completed the Mu Xin Jue, he thought that was the end of it and he was satisfied with the mental method.

Unexpectedly, by chance, he actually learned a second set of mental skills called "Zhuo Xin Jue".

It is rare in the world for one person to have two minds.

As a result, when the Dual Heart Method was activated, it caused natural strange phenomena, which prompted Wuliangshan to send Linglongzi to investigate the situation.

Now, hearing Su Yupan say that he would teach his secret method again, Qin Lang felt both curious and worried:
"Baby…"

"Tsk, call me Senior Sister!"

"Senior sister baby."

"..."

"I already have two mental methods, and you're teaching me a third one. I won't explode and die, right?"

"Pooh, pooh, pooh! What are you talking about! Pooh three times!"

"..."

Qin Lang looked at the empress's frowning and angry expression and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. You are an emperor, but you said "Pooh three times" like you were coaxing a child. It's really...

However, Su Yupan was quite serious. Seeing that Qin Lang refused to say "Puh", he could only lift the hair by his ear:

"I really... I really can't do anything about you, my little junior brother..."

"???"

Before he finished speaking, Su Yupan had already held Qin Lang's cheek, and his lips felt slightly sweet as he was kissed three times in a row by the empress.

"When we talk about serious matters from now on, don't talk nonsense, okay?"

"oh oh."

"Ah."

Su Yupan smiled slightly and touched Qin Lang's head:

"Little Junior Brother is so good."

"..."

Why do I feel like a little brother being taught a lesson by a big sister?

Qin Lang felt weird. Could it be... could it be that the baby empress just liked this and was enjoying some kind of role-playing right now?
