It turns out Mt.
Reception room.
"Dear guests, please take your seats." Lin Bufan walked slowly and calmly, waved his sleeves, and slowly took his seat.
Zhu Xuanji, Shen Lingshu, Ning Yifan, Ning Zhuo and Lin Shanshan sat down one after another.
Lin Bufan slowly raised his hand and signaled the attendants of Wanyao Sect to serve him spiritual tea and cakes.
Ning Jiufan stroked his beard and smiled, and spoke first: "Tea and cakes are actually not important. Head Lin, please tell me about the lantern reflecting wall in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's attention was immediately attracted.
Ning Zhuo also laughed: "I see, the treasure in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons is the Linlang Reflecting Wall? Please forgive me for being ignorant, I have never heard of the Linlang Reflecting Wall."
He and Ning Yifan sang and harmonized, and the grandfather and grandson cooperated tacitly, just like a joint attack from the left and the right to encircle and suppress Lin Bufan on the throne.
This made Zhu Xuanji look sideways and Shen Lingshu raised an eyebrow.
After Ning Zhuo showed up, he sent a message to Zhu Xuanji and told the latter how he discovered the treasure hidden in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave. His original intention was to treat Yuan Lao's illness and to plot the Ten Thousand Years Fire Spirit in the Fire Persimmon Mountain, but unexpectedly... This happened. Grandma Yuan and Ning Yifan were restrained by Lin Bufan and became prisoners. Please ask Zhu Xuanzhi to rescue them!
Shen Lingshu secretly speculated: "This Ning Zhuo is indeed good at planning! This time, Zhu Xuanji was specially invited to use the power of our royal family and the reputation of the gods to check and balance Lin Bufan."
"Zhu Xuanji fell into the trap! Unfortunately, he had to fall into the trap."
"Let's see what this mysterious Linlang Reflecting Wall is."
Zhu Xuanji sighed with emotion.
He thought to himself: "This Ning surrender is quite courageous. He entered the situation with his own body. One moment he was a prisoner, but this moment he is calm and calm."
"The heroic spirit of the Northland is indeed commendable."
Lin Bufan felt solemn.
He knows the current situation well!
He seems to be the leader and has been operating here for hundreds of years. He is the local leader, but he is the weakest in the situation.
The fighting prowess of the ancestors and grandsons of the Ning family, Zhu Xuanji, and Shen Lingshu, had already made Lin Bufan fearful. Not to mention the huge power behind them.
"Zhu Xuanji and Shen Lingshu are here together. I'm afraid there are some powerful members of the royal family hiding in the dark during this trip."
The enemy is numerous and we are outnumbered, and our defeat is certain.
Lin Bufan already understood this when he welcomed Zhu Xuanji and Shen Lingshu into the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines.
What he has to do now is how to gain a foothold in the defeat and protect his own interests and those of Wanyao Sect!
Therefore, facing the tacit "attack" of the Ning family's ancestors and grandsons, Lin Bufan did not directly explain what Linlang Yingzhi Wall was.
But he also knew that he had to explain the matter.
So, he pointed to the tea that had been presented and placed in front of everyone: "Back then, I was still a first-level Golden Elixir. I lacked the talent for cultivation and it was difficult to overcome the difficulties and advance to Nascent Soul."
"When I was depressed, I chose to travel around in search of opportunities."
"The heavens favored me and allowed me to accidentally enter the formation in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons and bump into Zhang Huaixu."
Zhu Xuanji frowned: "Grass Saint Zhang Huaixu?"
Lin Bufan nodded.
Zhang Huaixu is a historical celebrity who was born after the Forbidden Dynasty and before the Yeyu Dynasty.
He practiced Confucianism and Taoism in his early years and was upright and upright in calligraphy. After being demoted as an official, he planted plants and trees to recuperate and express his feelings.
Over time, he realized the Tao from the grass and trees, took the heaven and the earth as his teachers, and integrated nature into his mind. He studied calligraphy and created a unique cursive calligraphy style called "The Mantra of Grass and Trees". Every stroke is completely natural, as if it were made by nature.
Hair grows naturally. The words written may be as fast as a storm, or as soft as light clouds, all of which conceal the charm of heaven and earth.
Later generations respected him as the Grass Saint!
It is clearly recorded in the history books that the Grass Saint has passed away long ago. However, Lin Bufan bumped into him in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons. Obviously this Grass Saint is not the other Grass Saint, and it has something to do with the Linlang Reflecting Wall.
Sure enough, Lin Bufan said the next moment: "What I encountered was of course not the Cao Sheng himself, but the reflection of himself left in the wall when he discovered the clues of the reflection wall here and had a strange encounter. You all also
It can be understood as Dharmakaya.”
"Although I don't have the talent for cultivation, Caosheng Dharmakaya also gave me guidance and taught me part of the inheritance."
"I received this inheritance, understood part of the mantra of grass and trees, cultivated the spiritual grass, and succeeded in breaking the elixir to become an infant, and was promoted to a Nascent Soul monk."
Next, is the information content that Ning Zhuo, Zhu Xuanji and others can find out.
Lin Bufan relied on his Nascent Soul cultivation to become the leader of Wanyao Sect. He carried out drastic reforms, used various means to eradicate dissidents, clear up corruption, consolidate the foundation of Wanyao Sect, and eliminate moths.
One of his most famous methods is to bypass the old customary contracts and directly move the entire mountain gate to its original location. As a result, even if many contracts of the old forces survive, they have lost almost all their benefits and become nothing more than empty documents.
Waste paper.
Lin Bufan said: "I did not hesitate to pay a heavy price to move the entire mountain gate to the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines. On the surface, it is because the spiritual springs here are abundant and suitable for cultivating various medicinal herbs, so that I can give full play to the Herb Saint inheritance I have obtained."
"Actually, I want to continue to look for opportunities in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons."
"In the following time, I went down to the cave many times, but was blocked by the formation. I fought and failed again and again, but no matter how many attempts failed, my determination could not be shaken."
"Finally one day, the Grass Saint Zhang Huaixu appeared again. He told me that the Lingbi was of great importance. Even if there is no owner, the waiting owner should be the pillar of the human race. The genius among geniuses can never become the private property of a mortal monk like me.
Let me dispel my extravagant hopes."
"I was depressed for many days because of this."
“One day I had an idea and created this spiritual tea, and I invite you to try it.”
Everyone in the hall was caught off guard.
They had been listening to Lin Bufan narrating secret past events, but unexpectedly the latter suddenly changed the topic and turned to Lingcha.
But everyone had just listened attentively and attentively. At this moment, there was still inertia, and they couldn't help but cast their eyes on the cup at hand.
The cup is simple, like red pottery. The surface of the cup has many pits, giving it a rough-made feel.
In the cup, the tea leaves are as orange-red as the autumn sunset, with mountain-like textures looming on the leaves.
Shen Lingshu became interested and took the lead in picking up the cup and took a sip.
He tasted it and immediately praised: "Good tea."
Ning Zhuo also entered.
When you first taste it, it is slightly astringent with a subtle woody aroma, just like the cool air hitting your face when you first enter the forest.
As the tea soup slides into your mouth and you savor it carefully, the flavor of the tea gradually deepens, producing a hint of sweetness and an endless aftertaste.
After drinking, there is a warm feeling in the throat, as if I can see thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, standing still in the years. There are also old friends whispering in my ears, which makes people immersed in it, and inevitably gives rise to a feeling of sadness.
When Lin Bufan saw that everyone was drinking tea without saying a word, he immediately said: "I created this tea, and I named it 'Old Man from Mountains and Rivers'. The tea trees are rooted in the poorest soil, and thousands of tea trees are used every day." Only by instilling it with the essence of herbal medicine can it grow and produce tea leaves."
"I feel grateful for my ancestors and take this as my ambition to work hard again."
"On the one hand, I specially found many orphan children, measured their talents, and accepted them all as disciples. On the other hand, I asked the original mountain god to infiltrate the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines and the other three peaks for a long-term plan. Finally, I implemented the new policy, Invite monks to station on Xiaozheng Peak and encourage them to fight constantly, using this method to win the goodwill of Yingzhaobi."
"The Linlang Reflecting Wall was originally the wall in the palace of Fairy Jingyu. Fairy Jingyu was a scholar of heaven and man. With the help of Emperor Wu's treasury, she studied and practiced the spells collected from all over the world. Over time, the wall became psychic and gained wonderful power. able."
"It can reflect all kinds of people in the world and preserve specific images. You can understand that this is a special Dharmakaya."
"The Grass Saint Zhang Huaixu that I met before is one of them. It was specially left by the Grass Saint at that time as a legacy for future generations."
There was silence in the hall.
On the one hand, everyone is quickly accepting the impact of these secret information. On the other hand, everyone is also feeling emotional.
Lin Bufan suffered a blow, but did not give up. Instead, he found another way and tried various other methods.
He has been operating here for hundreds of years. This is a century-old plan. He is unswerving, holding back and waiting for the opportunity.
The spiritual tea "Old Friend of the Mountains and Rivers" he created is not an expression of his ambition. He wants to imitate figures such as Zhang Huaixu, the grass sage. His ambition will last forever and the mountains and rivers will not change!
Lin Shanshan's eyes were red, and she was most moved. Only at this moment did she understand how hard her father had worked so hard, and how difficult it was to plan the situation for hundreds of years.
Ning Zhuo secretly screamed that it was awesome.
Obviously Lin Bufan was already in a passive situation. He was plotting against him and was suppressed by the strong reinforcement Zhu Xuanzhi who moved in. As a result, Lin Bufan behaved very badly in his dealings with others.
He accepted the embarrassment faced by the Ning family's ancestors. On the surface, he was confessing his past and explaining the secret of Linlang's screen wall. But in fact, he was using it to explain his ambitions, past hardships, and how much he had sacrificed for this opportunity.
How much effort!
This made people like Ning Zhuo, after hearing about it and tasting tea, have to lament Lin Bufan's difficulty. They had a lot of understanding of him, and the hostility in their hearts was reduced a lot.
Lin Bufan continued: "Excellent talent is extremely rare, and I have been searching for it for many years to no avail."
"I have many disciples, and I want to win through quantity."
"As a result, so far, only one person has been favored by the images of several ancient sages reflected in the wall, and has been given guidance many times."
"This is my eldest disciple Linghujiu."
"I feel happy, but I also know that my beloved is lazy and straightforward by nature. Especially when he is drunk, he often expresses his feelings and ignores etiquette."
"Succeeding means 'Drunken Moon Seeking Immortals', and failure means 'Drunken Moon Seeking Immortals'. Since Linghu Jiu has such talent and nature, I can only find out the omissions and fill them up."
"Therefore, I concealed the truth from him and secretly designed a drink, named Yousi Mingjiang, to coax him into thinking that this was wine, which combined with his talents, communicated with the underworld, and allowed him to gain understanding from the sages.
Confused."
"In fact, as long as you are within the scope of the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley, even if you don't go deep into the underground cave, as long as you are attracted by the image of an old friend in the reflection wall, the monk can obtain the inheritance."
Ning Zhuo nodded slightly.
At first, when he saw the Five Elements God Lord under the Lingyin Willow tree, he felt quite strange.
Hearing Lin Bufan's words at this time can be regarded as verification from before.
Lin Bufan's words should be true.
Ning Zhuo is inclined to believe it.
This is not because he believes in Lin Bufan's character, but because he believes in Zhu Xuanji. As a divine catcher, Zhu Xuanji's eyes flicker with golden light, so he has the ability to identify lies. Back then in the Fire Persimmon Fairy City
, he has used this method many times.
Lin Bufan turned his attention to Ning Zhuo at this time, his smile was slightly bitter: "I thought everything was safe."
"Who would have thought that when young Master Ning Zhuo met my beloved disciple for the first time, he made him talk happily. He took out the Yousi Ming Brew and gave it to Ning Zhuo to drink."
"It's just a normal wine tasting, but young master Ning Zhuo has also won the favor of the Five Elements Divine Master Dharma Body and has been passed down."
"It's enough to say that you can get the inheritance by being drunk in the cave. However, after young master Ning Zhuo entered the Xiao Zhengfeng cave, he received the inheritance of the God Lord again."
"Any other monk would be overjoyed to receive such a gift. However, young Master Ning Zhuo has a meticulous mind and an extremely stable temperament. As soon as he discovers a flaw, he seizes it and moves as fast as thunder, leading me to
The apprentice directly found the magic circle and discovered the secret path in the mountain leading to the original mountain."
Having said this, Lin Bufan let out a long sigh and looked desolate.
Ning Zhuo felt something bad in his heart and opened his mouth to speak.
As a result, Lin Bufan said again: "After you have drank tea, you might as well try this cake again."
"This pastry is not my creation. It was created by my daughter Shanshan and my eldest apprentice Jiu'er. It is called Feihua Suiyu."
At this time, Lin Bufan had firmly controlled the conversation and did not give Ning Zhuo any room to express himself.
Ning Zhuo chose to be patient and followed Lin Bufan's wishes and took the cake.
The surface of the pastry is light golden in color, with slightly mottled crack lines. The surface is dotted with a small amount of white sesame seeds and chopped almonds, visually scattered on the jade like flying flowers, which is classic and elegant.
After putting it in his mouth and chewing it, Ning Zhuo discovered that the inside of the pastry was a soft and waxy body, mixed with unevenly distributed raisins, orange peels, grapefruit peels and chopped almonds.
Ning Zhuo ate three in a row and found that the taste of each one was different.
This is mainly because the ingredients in the pastry are not evenly distributed, so every time he eats one, he has new expectations and becomes curious about the next one - what will it taste like?
The sour and sweet taste of raisins? Or the slightly sour and bitter taste of orange peels and grapefruit peels? Sometimes it’s the crunchiness of chopped almonds. The taste of each bite is different, like variables in the layout, making it difficult to predict.
The layered texture of the cake becomes more obvious after chewing many times, gradually turning from soft to a delicate viscous feel, and sometimes the sudden sweet and sour taste of raisins or orange peels brings unexpected surprises.
Ning Zhuo realized something and praised Lin Shanshan's initiative.
Lin Shanshan hurriedly humbled herself, saying that this was just a child's play, and she had a perfunctory attitude towards the homework assigned by her father. She only made the jade cake body and became impatient, so she sought help from her senior brother.
It turned out that Linghujiu had a lazy temperament. When making Linghu cake, he was greedy for wine and couldn't help but drink a lot, resulting in uneven distribution of ingredients.
But there are mistakes, and it actually contributes to the uniqueness of this flying flower and broken jade.
Zhu Xuanji, Shen Lingshu and others all felt something while eating the spiritual cake.
The next moment, Lin Bufan's words confirmed their understanding. They heard the head of the Wanyao Sect speak slowly: "The flying flowers and broken jade are the younger generations, a surprise brought to me as an elder."
"It also tells me that children and grandchildren have their own blessings and opportunities. As an elder, if I just arrange it carefully according to my own wishes, it may be a kind of foolishness, and I should not be too demanding."
"Alas...people's hearts can change."
"Once upon a time, I accepted many disciples and taught them to practice successfully, just to plot the Linlang Reflecting Wall."
"But now, I want these younger generations to grow up more stably."
"For example, Young Master Ning Zhuo's visit to Wanyao Sect is like this flying flower and broken jade, which has brought great surprise to my sect!"
"The interactions and encounters between you, my daughter Shanshan, and my eldest disciple Jiu'er are like the combination of these ingredients, forming a spiritual cake with a unique and novel flavor."
"Alas, I am getting old. I only hope that you will have good karma and good results in the future!"
Lin Bufan spoke earnestly and thoughtfully, as if he were a kind-hearted elder in the family who was concerned about his future generations.
Ning Zhuo sighed: "High, it's really too high!"
"I learned a lot. I learned a lot."
Lin Bufan's rhetorical mediation allowed him to make progress despite defeat.
The atmosphere in the living room was greatly relaxed. Zhu Xuanji and Shen Lingshu pressed hard, with the intention of raising an army to punish him. But at this moment, the two of them developed a lot of affection for Lin Bufan and gained more understanding of the latter.
With the help of tea and cakes, Lin Bufan cleverly explained his ideas and made others agree with him. While retaining his face and authority as the leader, he also used the relationship between Ning Zhuo, Lin Shanshan and Linghu Jiu to close the distance between him and the Ning family. , turn enemies into friends to the greatest extent possible!
He deserves to be Lin Bufan, and he deserves to be a powerful figure who has run the entire sect for hundreds of years.
If Wanyao Sect develops under a leader like him, can it not prosper and prosper?
Ning Zhuo was ashamed to find that compared with Lin Bufan's communicative skills, his frequent use of the lifeline was a kind of degradation, a lack of progress, and a kind of laziness.
"Headmaster Lin Bufan is an outstanding person!"
"I want to follow his example and study hard!!"
"How can we improve in this aspect if we always use the supernatural power of Human Life Thread to assist?"
"Although the Thread of Life is powerful, due to the cultivation level, it cannot be used to plant Yuanying. Even if it is planted to Linghu Wine, it will be noticed."
"But this kind of communication means that the spring breeze turns into rain and sneaks into the night, moistening things silently."
"Wonderful, wonderful beyond words."
Immediately, Ning Zhuo decided to rely less on magical powers in the future and focus on exploring his own potential.
It is not difficult to use magical powers. What is difficult is to be able to do so without using magical powers.
Ning Zhuo saw this kind of realm and ability in Lin Bufan today.
"It is precisely the magic that stops at cultivation, but the wisdom can be endless!"
Chapter completed!
