Journey to the West: I want to be sanctified

Chapter 116

"Master, I haven't tasted it yet, it's gone..."

Tao Yaoyao held the clean big pottery bowl with both hands and showed it to Zhou Yin.

A pair of big eyes are pitiful, making people feel uneasy.

"One more bowl." Reluctantly, Zhou Yin ordered another bowl.

"Okay! Wait a moment, guest officer." The dark man sighed in his heart, this couple of young men and women ate really fast, they didn't think much, and got busy.

Zhou Yin had no choice but, as a master, he had no choice but to slowly push the mutton steamed bun he "processed" to Tao Yaoyao.

"You can eat this bowl too."

"Thank you Master!"

"Eat slowly, take one bite at a time!"

Seeing that Tao Yaoyao was about to swallow it up again, Zhou Yin quickly reminded her.

"Oh oh oh."

"You are really like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit."

"Huh? Master, who is Zhu Bajie? What kind of delicious fruit is ginseng fruit?"

Tao Yaoyao controlled herself this time, savoring the taste of mutton steamed buns in small bites.

"It's nothing, I'll tell you later when I have a chance."

After a while, another mutton steamed bun was brought up by the shopkeeper.

"Guest officer, if it's not enough, I can have another bowl!"

Zhou Yin waved his hand with a smile, took out a few pennies, and paid the bill.

Finally, I can enjoy my own mutton steamed buns!

An hour later.

Following Jiang Yingying's guidance, Zhou Yin and Tao Yaoyao came to the gate of a house.

Jiang Yingying stroked the stone lion at the door, and she burst into tears.

Zhou Yin said: "Miss Yingying, can you come in and have a look?"

Jiang Yingying nodded, then shook her head again.

More than 100 years have passed, and my parents are long gone. I don't know if the owner of this house is still surnamed Jiang.

At this time, the scarlet door was suddenly opened from the inside.

A young man, dressed like a scholar, came out from inside, listless.

When he saw a boy and two girls standing at the door, he couldn't help being a little stunned.

"The three are standing in front of my house, what's the matter?"

Zhou Yin smiled lightly, "This little brother, do you dare to ask if your surname is Jiang?"

The young man nodded suspiciously, "I'm Jiang Jiuming, who is your Excellency?"

Jiang Yingying suddenly said in a trembling voice, "Is there an ancestor named Jiang Zhichuan in your family?"

The young man frowned and thought for a long time, "It seems to be my ancestor, who are you?"

Jiang Yingying cried again.

The young man was at a loss, not knowing what was going on with the three of them.

Zhou Yin asked Tao Yaoyao to help Jiang Yingying up, and said:

"Young Master Jiang, this girl Yingying is a descendant of Jiang Zhichuan, and this time she is looking for relatives."

"Looking for relatives? My Jiang family has been in Chang'an City for generations, and I haven't heard of any relatives."

"You don't know about this. Jiang Zhichuan once had a daughter who was lost a hundred years ago. This is a past event. Maybe your adults know about it."

Hearing Zhou Yin's words, Jiang Jiuming slapped his head and was pleasantly surprised, "I heard my grandfather once said that his grandfather had a young sister who disappeared when she was young. Could it be that this girl is her descendant?"

Zhou Yin nodded. He couldn't explain that Jiang Yingying was the lost toddler. I'm afraid the young man would be scared to death.

Jiang Jiuming was overjoyed, "This is really a happy event. I don't have to go to school anymore. Come in with me!"

I don't know whether this happy event is because I saw Jiang Yingying, or because I don't have to go to school.

After leading everyone into the door, Jiang Jiuming shouted loudly, "Father, Mother, we have relatives coming!"

Jiang Yingying looked at the courtyard of the house, as well as the plants and trees, and the memories of a hundred years ago flooded her heart.

"This courtyard has never changed a brick or a tile."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yingying fell to her knees and stroked the bricks on the ground.

After half a year, the girl who was trafficked back then finally returned.

It's a pity that when I return home, I'm already a ghost, and my parents may have already been reincarnated.

A middle-aged man and a middle-aged beautiful woman came out hand in hand. The middle-aged man was wearing beautiful silk, with a big belly, and shouted loudly:
"You don't go to the Imperial College to go to school, but why are you yelling here, where are the relatives of our Jiang family?"

After all, seeing a woman in red lying on the ground crying, and seeing Zhou Yin and Tao Yaoyao, she couldn't help but feel puzzled, looked at Jiang Jiuming, and wanted an explanation.

"Father, this woman in red is a relative of our family, and seems to be a descendant of my great ancestor Jiang Zhichuan's daughter."

The middle-aged man turned pale with shock when he heard it. This matter is a family secret, and no one knows unless it is a descendant of the family.

Immediately took the three of them into the living room.

Zhou Yin first reported his family background, saying that he came from Tai'an County, Jiang Yingying's grandparents came from Chang'an, and her father's name was Jiang Zhichuan.

After some exchanges, plus Zhou Yin's handsome appearance and outstanding temperament, it is easy to win the trust of others.

The Jiang family has no doubts.

"Niece Jiang, you have suffered, you are a poor child."

The middle-aged man sighed, and the beautiful middle-aged woman next to him looked at Jiang Yingying with affection.

"Oh, niece, this will be your home from now on. If anything goes wrong, tell your aunt. Oh, why are your hands so cold!"

The middle-aged beautiful woman wanted to hold Jiang Yingying's hand and have a good chat with her.

Where it touches, it's extremely cold.

Jiang Yingying let go of her hand, wiped her tears, and said softly, "I have been cold since childhood."

"I don't know, can I worship my father... my great-grandfather."

Hearing Jiang Yingying's words, Jiang Jiuming immediately jumped out, "Of course, I will take you to the ancestral hall."

Although Jiang Yingying seemed to be very alienated in her words, she did not call Jiang Yuanwai and Mrs. Jiang uncle and aunt.

Jiang Yuanwai and Mrs. Jiang subconsciously believed that Jiang Yingying had suffered too much, so she was shy and dared not speak.

So not too suspicious.

Mrs. Jiang even said to the middle-aged man with tears in her eyes, "My niece is so pitiful. In the future, we must not let her be wronged."

Zhou Yin got a headache listening to it, this generation is chaotic.

When she came to the ancestral hall, Jiang Yingying cried again, burned incense, paid homage to her parents, then knelt down in front of the queue and refused to get up.

Zhou Yin saw that there were many people, so he said, "Mr. Jiang, why don't we go to the lobby and wait. Miss Yingying recognizes her ancestors for the first time, and she probably has a lot of emotions."

Although Jiang Yuanwai felt a little weird, he also felt that there was nothing wrong.

"Okay, let's go to the lobby and wait. It's just right. I want to thank Xiaoyou Zhou too."

Everyone left Jiang Yingying alone in the ancestral hall, and they all went back to the hall.

……

Chang'an City, Taixuan Temple.

Taixuan Temple is a Taoist temple established by Taixuanzong outside the city in Chang'an City. It can be regarded as a secular institution of Taixuanzong. On weekdays, there are many people who come to burn incense and worship gods. , quite effective, so the incense is very prosperous.

Li Zichun was wearing a brand-new Taoist robe, holding a dust whisk in his hand, and walked into the Taixuan Temple with a sense of immortality.

After the disciples reported, the master of Taixuan Temple came out to greet him in person.

"Brother Zichun! It's really you!"

When the owner of the Taixuan Temple saw Li Zichun, he couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

"Meng Zijun?" Li Zichun looked at the white-haired Taixuan Guanzhu in front of him, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Senior Brother Zichun, it's me. Where have you been all these years?"

"Junior Brother Zijun, I haven't seen you for many years, I never thought that you have become the master of Taixuan Temple."

"Senior brother, I didn't expect that you have broken through to the foundation building stage. It's really gratifying!"

When the two brothers and sisters met each other, they each had feelings in their hearts and had a lot to say.

Mencius Jun vaguely remembered that Li Zichun and himself were the same group of disciples who started to practice.

However, the two have different qualifications.

Although Li Zichun practiced diligently, it was a pity that his fundamental aptitude was not good enough, and he was unable to enter the foundation building stage for a long time. He left the sect very early and traveled around.

But Mencius himself has entered the foundation building period, so he stayed in Taixuanzong.

I thought that after so many years, Li Zichun might have passed away.

When I heard today that Li Zichun, a disciple of Taixuanzong, came here, I thought it was a liar, but who would have thought that it was really him!
Moreover, his brother's cultivation base has also reached the foundation building stage.

Looking at it just now, it seems that his cultivation level is higher than his own!

"Brother, what have you been through these years?"

Mencius led Li Zichun into the temple, made tea, and sat down.

"It's a long story to do."

Li Zichun started talking about leaving Taixuanzong back then. Of course, Li Zichun had hidden many things about immortals, gods and demons.

I just said that I have taken in an apprentice named Zhou Yin, who is talented and a wizard of Taoism.

After an hour passed, Mencius Jun let out a long sigh:
"Brother, I have really experienced a lot in these years. It is a pity that I have been in Chang'an City and never went out. I have missed many adventures."

Li Zichun stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Junior brother, don't say that. Being a temple master in the number one city in the world is a source of profound blessings, and it is not something ordinary people can imitate."

The two brothers exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Mencius Jun said:

"Brother, do you want to return to the sect when you come back this time?"

Li Zichun nodded, "I thought I would stop refining Qi in this life, and I would have no celestial fate, so I wanted to find a place to spend the rest of my life.

Who would have thought that the sky would not abandon me, and I would break through to the foundation building stage again.

That being the case, I, Li Zichun, embarked on the road of cultivating immortality without hesitation. "

Hearing Li Zichun's strong heart, Meng Zijun felt envy as well as admiration.

I have been in the foundation building stage for decades, how easy is it to break through to the earth immortal?
There are only a handful of people in Taixuanzong who broke through to earth immortals!
"In this case, Senior Brother, I will accompany you to the Zongmen. After decades, things have changed, and I haven't gone back to Zongmen for a long time."

After all, Mencius-jun summoned him to be in charge, and after giving instructions for the relevant matters, he and Li Zichun got into the carriage and left the Taixuan Temple.

Taixuanzong is located on Taixuan Mountain outside Chang'an City.

Taixuan Mountain is incomparably precipitous, and the halfway up the mountain is covered with white clouds, making it a vast expanse.

Ordinary people will get lost in the middle of the mountain and have no chance to climb to the top if there is no one to guide them.

Naturally, Li Zichun and Mencius Jun knew where the magic circle was leading. Both of them were foundation-building monks. Although they couldn't fly, their lightness skills were extremely high, and they jumped to the leading place of the sect halfway up the mountain in a short while.

In the white mist, a hidden path appeared in front of the two of them.
