Chapter 123: The View of Bitter Cicada
Chapter 123 The View of Bitter Cicada
The Ruyi shuttle fell slowly in the courtyard, and three figures, two large and one small, walked out. Then it suddenly shrank, turned into a stream of light, and fell into the sleeve of one of them.
"In a moment, my foolish brother will ask the servants to take the court ceremony to Brother Manjusri's house."
After recovering from Feng Xu Yufeng's shock, Lu Wenyu's attitude towards Li Yan became more and more respectful.
In today's world, most of the well-to-do rich families can only eat two meals a day.
Chen means big food, Shen means small food.
Only an official family like the Lu family, which has been prosperous for hundreds of years, would have the habit of eating three meals a day.
"Brother Zihou, there is no need to be polite. I have been doing fasting for a long time and have not touched meat or fish for many years."
Li Yan politely refused.
He has more important things to do than eating breakfast.
"Brother Zihou, does he know that there is a Bitter Cicada Temple in Chuzhou?"
Before Lu Wenyu could say a few polite words, Li Yan suddenly changed the topic and mentioned another unrelated place.
"I have never heard of it."
Lu Wenyu tried his best to remember, but Chuzhou was hundreds of miles away from Huizhou, where the Lu family was located. With today's horsepower alone, many people would not be able to leave the state capital in their lifetimes. When it came to the more distant Chuzhou, they were naturally weak.
"It seems that Pindao can only go there in person."
The other party's answer was obviously what Li Yan expected, but he still had some doubts, which could only be revealed by going to the Kuchan Temple. Therefore, whether he wanted to or not, he had to go to Chuzhou this time.
Lu Wenyu looked hesitant and worried.
Knowing that the other party was afraid that as soon as he left, the demon sent by the Imperial Master to assassinate him would arrive again. Li Yan took something out of his bag and handed it to Lu Wenyu.
Surprisingly, it was the green belt he had just seen!
"If the Imperial Master sends an expert to the door again and wants to do something evil, Brother Zihou just needs to throw out this ribbon, rub the Xuan Scale with his hand, and silently say, I serve Xuanjun as urgent as the law, as long as the cultivation level of the person who comes is not higher than
I, this sinister black snake, can scare away people in the future."
While Li Yan was talking, he put the shining black scales on the back of Lu Wenyu's hand.
As soon as Xuan Lin touched Lu Wenyu's body, it seemed to be alive. He suddenly got in and turned into a tattoo, entrenched motionless.
"It's just that Brother Zihou must remember that this thing cannot be used more than once, otherwise it will be light to lose a few years of life. As for the other costs..."
Li Yan gave the other party a look of understanding.
If a Taoist uses his true energy to activate a magic weapon, it will not suffer backlash. However, for ordinary people, the residual source energy on the magic weapon is more terrifying than that of the King of Hell.
If it is used too frequently, the wandering Taoist priests with strange shapes in the city will learn from their mistakes.
Lu Wenyu shivered subconsciously, and when he looked at the tattoo on the back of his hand, he no longer looked as eager to try as before.
"Zihou please remember."
Seeing that the other party was so understanding, Li Yan nodded with satisfaction.
"You can rest assured that Pindao will only be here for half a day. If everything goes well, he will be able to return to your mansion at night. The black snake was placed with Brother Zihou just to prevent any unexpected events."
After giving Lu Wenyu a reassurance, Li Yan resumed the shuttle and fled towards the horizon under the different eyes of father and son.
…
The purpose of Li Yan's trip, Kuchanguan, was naturally not an innocent one.
I think many people must have guessed that that place is the Taoist site of Xunfeng Temple in Li country.
Li State is different from Yong State.
The Yong Kingdom is under the protection of the Xunfeng Temple, and there are monks with ten levels of Qi refining in the capital city to eliminate evil spirits and restrain casual cultivators. If there are big evil spirits who practice the blood-sacrifice demonic skill, their own internal master will come out of the mountain.
The country of Li is located on the edge of the Xunfeng Temple, and is bordered by Chiguo Temple, another Buddhist treasure. Naturally, the two are unwilling to give in to each other. Although they have fought several battles with each other, they have never been able to tell the winner.
The disciples are also unwilling to give in to each other. Today you destroy my Taoist temple, and tomorrow I will destroy your Zen temple.
Seeing that things were becoming uncontrollable, the leaders of both sides stepped forward to mediate. Xunfeng Temple and Chiguo Temple each left a Taoist temple in Li country for easy supervision.
In the future, any family that has the ability to get the emperor to make precise decisions about the status of the Taoist tradition without resorting to Shanmen's resources can pass down the Taoist tradition in the Li Kingdom.
Only a few decades have passed, and the casual cultivators have also established a foothold in this unowned land. The three parties have restrained each other. There is no inner scene where the master breaks the deadlock, and a strange harmony has continued to this day.
The Kuchan Temple that Li Yan went to this time is the only Taoist temple that remains in the Li Kingdom. It has had three temple masters in more than two hundred years, and the current one has been in office for fifty-seven years.
Logically speaking, for such an important matter as a monk taking charge of the court, the other party should report it early, but for some unknown reason, he has been hiding it until today.
If it hadn't been for the sudden change in Ku Sanzi's old friend's family, the sect might still be kept in the dark until now.
He should inquire about both emotions and reasons.
Ruyi Shuttle landed at a Taoist temple on Cuiping Mountain with seven entrances and seven exits.
Before the shuttle landed, an old Taoist priest and two Taoist boys had already come forward to greet him.
"The trail is from Lu to Shu, and everyone who has seen it calls it an elder!"
Taoist Lushu lowered his head and felt a little confused when he spoke.
That Ruyi Shuttle was an escape weapon used by Ku Sanzi before he became a Taoist. It was not something that needed to be concealed among senior Taoist disciples like them.
Therefore, they mistakenly thought that the elders were here in person, and Taoist Lu Shu was so excited that he could not even speak clearly.
"Fellow Taoist, you don't need to be polite. I'm a Taoist and a disciple of my master. Because I have business to attend to, and I visit a noble place, and I see my fellow disciples being friendly, I come to your door to make trouble. It's my turn to apologize to my Taoist friend."
What got off the shuttle was a young Taoist with a face as beautiful as a crown jewel.
He cupped his hands in a bow, and moved his hands and feet with ease and ease.
"Fellow Taoist is a senior disciple of the elders, that is, fellow disciples and brothers. We should get close to each other. Please, please come to the monastery and have a rest!"
"Li Guang Qiushui, a distinguished guest is here. Why don't you go and get the jar of tea that my master has treasured, and send some fruits to the front of the hall!"
Seeing that the person who came was not Ku Sanzi, Taoist Lushu breathed a sigh of relief. A familiar smile appeared on his face, and he repeatedly invited Li Yan to come in and sit down.
As soon as these words came out, they coincided with Li Yan's thoughts.
After a few words of refusal, the two Taoists, an old man and a strong man, walked side by side towards the mountain gate.
They all sat down and exchanged a few words. While waiting for tea, Li Yan glanced around calmly. However, everything was very ordinary and nothing out of the ordinary could be seen.
Li Yan tried to communicate a few words again, and Taoist Lu Shu didn't seem to be confused and lost his mind.
At this time, tea was served.
Seeing the Taoist sipping the tea, Li Yan wiped off the foam on the surface of the tea and spoke casually, seemingly casually.
"On my way here, I heard that there are three Taoists in charge of the government of Li State, which is quite unusual. Do you know what happened to the three national masters in the court?"
