Chapter 125 Attitude

The Birthday Ceremony is a formal ceremony of the Xuanyin Sect. Except for the mage who presides over the ceremony and the disciples, only the most devout believers are eligible to participate.Of course, as Yu Ci's outer disciple of the Lichen Sect, he can find a seat to observe the ceremony, as long as he is not afraid of trouble.

Yu Ci didn't mean to ask for trouble, and he didn't want to join in the fun with that person. He didn't even enter the main hall, but came to the "Xuan Yin Biography Monument" lined up on both sides, admiring the information about Xuan Yin on the monument. The legend of the Yin Shangxian becoming Taoist.

Most of the immortal biographies in the world are similar, and this Xuanyin biography is no exception.There is nothing special about the mysterious and mysterious stories plus moral preaching, and occasionally "inserting" a few beautiful words to cultivate the immortal spirit.

However, on the second stele on the west side, there is a series of words and sentences, which can attract the attention of those who are interested. So-and-so's ultimate truth, epiphany and enlightenment.

What Yu Ci cares about is the word "Rakshasa King".

In fact, it is the Rakshasa ghost king.

Before coming to the Cliff City, Yu Ci also did his homework, and had a certain understanding of the situation of the various forces in the Cliff City, among which the Xuanyin Sect and the Water Purification Altar were the most important things he understood.In his opinion, the water purification altar's cover-up methods are very powerful. In the information of the Lichen sect, it has not been able to find its deep background, and it is only based on ordinary sects.On the contrary, the Xuanyin sect has no intention of covering up the forces behind it.

The East China Sea Raksha Sect is a sect founded by one of the kings in the Blood Prison Ghost Mansion, Raksha Ghost King Toukong clone.And this Rakshasa Ghost King was one of the two chief culprits who fought fiercely in the Sky Rift Valley, destroying the circle of species in the valley and causing demons to wreak havoc.

Although there is no evidence that the Raksha Ghost King did it intentionally at that time, but the disaster has already happened, and the Raksha Ghost King naturally formed a relationship with the Lichen Sect.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is Liang Zi. Li Chenzong is still a little jealous of this alien king, and the Raksha Ghost King is notoriously lazy. He is always looking for excitement.If Li Chenzong went to Xingshi with great fanfare to inquire about crimes, and fought all the way to the deepest part of the Blood Prison Ghost Mansion, after the two sides fought to the death, that person might ask inexplicably:

What on earth are you doing here?

That scene, just thinking about it, is terrifying...

This is Li You's vivid description when talking about Rakshasa religion.And this is the consensus among people in the practice world on the Rakshasa Ghost King's temperament.

What a weird guy.With such a temperament, how did she establish a huge foundation in both the practice world and the Blood Hell Ghost Mansion, and how did she get such a vicious reputation as the Raksha Ghost King?

In any case, it is certain that the power behind the Xuanyin Sect is the Rakshasa Sect.And because of the rift in the sky, it is difficult for the two sides to have any further communication. The Xuanyin sect has been established here for ten years, but it still can only develop believers among the common people. This background is not unrelated.

Yu Ci carefully looked for the words related to the Raksha Ghost King on the stele, forgetting that he was also very eye-catching in his attire, which attracted other people's attention frequently, and soon attracted the attention of interested people.Finally, when he turned around to read the inscription a second time, someone stopped him.

"Fellow Daoist, please."

Yu Ci turned around, the person who came was a middle-aged 'woman', she was no longer young, but her face was very kind, her gray and long hair was simply tied up, draped behind her head, and she was wearing a large burqa, just like the one in Xuanyin Sect. The attire of the immortal master.Yu Ci was very impressed with this one: "So it's Master Minglan."

The person who came was none other than Minglan, the chief preacher of the Xuanyin Sect.To say that the two have never met before, Ming Lan glanced at Yu Ci's face, then looked at the birdcage in his hand, and confirmed that his face was very strange, so he couldn't help being a little puzzled:

"This fellow Taoist, have we met before?"

Of course Yu Ci wouldn't say "I've seen you many times in Zhaoshentu", he just smiled slightly: "I have heard the name of Master Ming, so I can see you today, how fortunate it is."

Without giving Ming Lan any time to guess, he introduced himself: "Li Chenzong, Yu Ci."

At that moment, Minglan was a little surprised, but soon showed a smile: "It turned out to be Fellow Daoist Yu. The news came from the Guizong the day before yesterday, saying that Fellow Daoist will handle the affairs of the Precipice City. I don't think I will arrive today."

"Where, Uncle Xie is in charge of major matters, I am just assisting from the side."

Yu Ci knew that it was Yu Zhou who saved his face earlier, and under such circumstances, people like Bai Rifu would never dare to pretend to be confused, which would be bad for him.However, his words were still impeccable, and after speaking casually, he took the initiative to turn to Xuanyin Shangxian's birthday ceremony, praised the scene of the ceremony, and the topic changed again:

"Your teaching has taken root in this place for ten years, and the teaching industry is already thriving. How do you feel about this cliff city?"

Ming Lan's gaze focused on his face, as if digging out the thoughts in his heart, and at the end he smiled again: "Under the rule of the noble sect, it is very peaceful and comfortable. It's just that compared to the vastness of the world of practice, people like Yu Daoist may I feel cramped and cramped. As for other people, maybe they have another idea..."

Her answer was tactful, but she didn't know who the "others" were referring to?

Yu Ci also laughed: "It's true that everyone is different. Speaking of which, I have met your teacher once, but I don't know what Master Chiyin thinks?"

"Presumably the master is willing to discuss this issue with fellow Taoists. You might as well wait a little longer until the Dharma conference is over before discussing with the master in detail."

"It's good to be willing to discuss, but there is no need to rush for a long time in the future."

With Yu Ci's status at this time, he can be regarded as a representative of the Lichen Sect, so it's okay to let the Chiyin fairy come out to welcome her.However, Yu Ci's coming to Youqiu Palace was only on a temporary basis, and he had more thoughts of probing.Judging from Li Chenzong's information and what he observed from the Tianrift Valley, Wanlingmen, Xuanyinjiao and Water Purification Altar seem to have some tacit understanding against the White Sun Palace, at least in the cliff city. The level is like this.

This is where he can start, and he might as well express it a little bit.

As for the Red Yin fairy, they have to deal with each other sooner or later, so there is really no rush.

Nodding at Minglan, Yu Ci said goodbye.

Seeing Yu Ci's figure walk out of the palace gate, Ming Lan stood there for a while before heading to the middle courtyard.The closer you get to the central courtyard, the clearer the sound of chanting, the vibration of vitality is like a substance, like a rising tide of sea water, rushing towards you layer by layer, walking among them, feeling the devout thoughts of the believers, Ming Lan also Close your eyes and chant the scriptures silently, thinking that it echoes.

The six great gods and gods in this world, except for the Buddha, the Taoist priest, who is a symbol that is close to nothingness, the other four, all of them have an immortal body and immeasurable supernatural powers.Although this world is vast, as long as the believers are devout, the God Lord can respond to it. If you are interested, you can also rely on it to invest your divine will.The distance of hundreds of millions of miles can be reached in an instant.

From this perspective, the God Lord is omniscient and omnipotent.

After more than a hundred years of practice, Minglan is always bathed in grace and power, and her devotion to the God Lord has no flaws.For this reason, she can give up the opportunity to further practice and improve, and let her youth grow old, but she feels joy in her heart.

At this time, seeing the pure hearts of the believers in the Dharma meeting, she was also happy in her heart.But when she entered the middle courtyard and saw the figures on the altar of the puja leading the believers to chant scriptures, she frowned.He didn't stay in the middle courtyard either, but went deeper into the palace, bypassing the people who were chanting scriptures and prostrating.

Walking through two courtyards, the sound of chanting scriptures is covered by high walls and bamboo bamboos, which is gradually inaudible, and the sight of people is rare, making it more and more quiet.Ming Lan was familiar with the road, turned back several times in the winding corridor, and saw two female maids standing quietly in front of her, guarding the door.

Seeing Ming Lan approaching, the two girls bowed and saluted.Ming Lanyuan still had a smile on her face: "Is the master in there?"

"The master is taking a nap inside the house."

The second daughter was well aware of Ming Lan's position in the church, so she didn't dare to stop her, she opened the door for her lightly, and Ming Lan stepped in.

The house is divided into two rooms separated by bead curtains. Through the bead curtains, you can also see the smoke flowing on the half-person-high Boshan stove inside.The whole room is filled with a layer of warm fragrance, and the first time you enter it, you will feel the warmth of your body, and even the internal organs seem to be filled with fragrant and warm air, which is very comfortable.

There is still a waiter outside, she is a delicate girl with a green shirt and double bun, she is very cute and cute.Seeing that it was Minglan, she saluted in surprise, and then whispered softly: "The master performed a 'sacrifice to the gods' in the inner room, and just fell asleep."

Ming Lan nodded slightly, without saying a word, opened the bead curtain, and entered the room.

Smoke curls up from the incense burner’s crane mouth. Across the incense burner, about ten feet forward, there is an agarwood wood corridor with gold-painted step-by-step beds made by skilled craftsmen from the East China Sea. It is divided into several layers. Inside is the bed, and there are several maids squatting or standing, accompanying them in the small corridor, which is extremely magnificent.

Through layers of fine gauze curtains, Zhiyi's slender body lying sideways on the couch is indistinct and indistinct.There was a maid beside the bed, beating her legs and pinching her feet to relieve her fatigue.

Seeing all this, Ming Lan said lightly, "How is Master?"

The room was quiet for a long while, and the voice of the Chiyin Fairy seemed to have a metallic magnetic force: "It turns out to be Master Ming, please sit down."

As soon as the words were finished, the green-clothed maid from the outside moved an embroidered pier and placed it in front of the bed. Ming Lan thanked her and sat down.So far, there is still a distance of nearly ten feet between her and the red yin fairy behind the curtain.

No longer waiting for the Chiyin fairy to speak, Minglan said, "The disciples from the new sect of the Lichen Sect came here just now..."

Retelling the conversation between Yu Ci and her, Ming Lan said again: "This Yu Ci is young, but he is very extraordinary. When he was in the Tianrift Valley, he had a grudge with the White Sun Mansion, which attracted Tu Du to chase him down personally. , was still escaped by him. On the contrary, Tu Du was led into the place where demons inhabited, and returned with serious injuries. His scheming methods are commendable. At this time, he became a disciple of the outer room, and came to preside over the affairs of the cliff city. It must be something to do..."

"The person who presides over the affairs of the Cliff City is old Taoist Yu Zhou; the one who manages the affairs nearby is that weird guy Xie Yan. What's the use of him as an outsider disciple?"

After hearing Chi Yin's response, Ming Lan frowned slightly, and before she could say anything else, Chi Yin's voice became cold after hearing behind the curtain: "Murong has smoothed out the 'chaos' after being here, the two families The God Lord also has a tacit understanding, the matter of the Rift Valley is over for this day, and when the ten-year period expires, I will return to the East China Sea to continue my practice, and I will tell the person who succeeds me about the trivial matters here, don't bother me anymore!"

Minglan was silent for a while, then said again: "What about what was agreed earlier?"

"that matter?"

Chi Yin forgot his previous impatience in a blink of an eye, and a laugh came from behind the curtain: "Of course I will end it. I have been cared for for many years, and before returning to the East China Sea, I will send his family to ruin, as a thank you gift."
