There is a Lotus Hall on the Lotus Peak, a Lotus Pavilion in the Lotus Hall, a lotus pond in the Lotus Pavilion, and golden lotuses planted in the lotus pond.
Liu Chengfeng, the master of Lotus Peak wearing a red Taoist robe, was sitting in the lotus pond meditating and practicing, preparing to reach the realm of golden elixir. At this time, the thirty-six blooming lotus flowers in the lotus pond were blooming one after another rapidly.
withered.
At the same time, the exotic flowers and plants planted on both sides of the main road on the Lotus Peak Stairway also began to wither. The disciples guarding the gate of Lotus Peak and the yellow-shirted Taoist priests of Zhike Hall were shocked. The disciples guarding the gate asked Zhi
The senior brother from the guest hall reported the situation and learned that the yellow-robed Taoist priest from the guest hall was running quickly towards the main lotus hall.
Liu Chengfeng, who looked to be in his forties and in his prime, suddenly stood up, quickly made calculations, and frowned.
"Dang, Dang, Dang."
After a while, the huge bell set up in the Lotus Main Hall was rung, three times in a row, indicating that the situation at Lotus Peak was urgent, and all the elders and disciples were called to go to the Lotus Main Hall.
The green-robed Taoist priest Li Cangran suddenly woke up, and immediately stopped the operation of the spirit gathering formation. There was a slight sweat on his forehead, and his lips squirmed and said: "Oh no, we have caused a big trouble."
Tang Hui opened his eyes slightly and looked at the green-robed Taoist priest who suddenly stopped operating the formation without knowing why. The green-robed Taoist Li Cangran quickly pulled his disciple over and whispered a few words in his ear with a very serious attitude.
The boy in gray clothes was stunned and said with great reluctance: "Master..."
"Don't say anything anymore. The matter has reached this point and is irreversible. You and Xiaohui can quickly go down the mountain from the trail of Lianhua Peak. The farther you can run, the better. I will immediately notify the blue-eyed goshawk to pick you up at the foot of the mountain. Go ahead.
.”
"Master." With tears in his eyes, the boy in gray knelt down heavily on the ground and kowtowed three times, and said: "Master, we have to say goodbye today. I don't know when we will see each other again. Disciples have always only caused trouble for master and his wife.
I didn’t serve my master and my wife properly.”
"Don't say anything and leave quickly. If you are late, it will be too late." Li Cangran, a Taoist priest in green robe, took off the storage bag hanging from his waist, put it into the hands of the boy in gray clothes, and said: "I have told you the mantra, don't,
Don’t.”
Immediately, the green-robed Taoist Li Cangran tapped his toes and ejected towards the main hall of Lotus Peak.
The boy in gray clothes returned to his room, packed some clothes and gold and silver items, and secretly went down the mountain along the lower path of Lianhua Peak with Tang Hui, who had quietly advanced to the third level but still remained unchanged.
Liu Chengfeng sat on the Grand Master's chair in the Lotus Main Hall, waiting quietly for the elders one after another. The disciples rushed to the Lotus Main Hall, with a gloomy face and no words. Elders came one after another, and the disciples came forward to pay respects and quietly sat down.
, not daring to make a single noise.
After a stick of incense, even Liu Chengfeng's own daughter, who had been in seclusion, rushed to the main hall of Lotus Peak and stood behind Liu Chengfeng. Li Cangran touched his nose and stood beside Liu Chengfeng, silently.
Voice.
Seeing that all the elders and disciples had arrived, Liu Chengfeng stood up from the Grand Master's chair and said in a deep voice: "Today, in the lotus pond in the Lotus Pavilion, there were thirty-six golden lotuses and eighteen withered ones. Who can tell me what happened?
What's up?"
Everyone was shocked, but they did not dare to make a loud noise. They just muttered and speculated in a low voice. The deacons and elders who were also in the realm of returning to the virtual world and wore dark blue robes all used their fingers to speculate on the secrets, but the secrets were obscure and there were no clues to trace them.
"No one knows?"
Liu Chengfeng looked around and said in a deep voice, "Didn't everyone here notice anything unusual in Lotus Peak in recent days?"
"Report to the Peak Master that the exotic flowers and plants planted on the main road have withered and withered. According to the disciples' guess, it should be caused by the unexplained drying up of the spiritual veins under the Lotus Peak." One of the yellow-robed Taoist priests guarding the Zhike Hall took a step forward.
He spoke.
"Why did the underground spiritual veins of Lotus Peak dry up for no reason?" Liu Chengfeng locked his eyes on the yellow-robed Taoist priest who spoke out and asked casually.
"This disciple is stupid and hasn't found out the reason yet." The Taoist priest in yellow shirt bent slightly and said.
"Humph." Liu Chengfeng snorted coldly, flicked the sleeves of his red robe, and the Huangshan Taoist priest returned to his original position. Liu Chengfeng continued, "Can anyone tell me why the underground spiritual veins of Lotus Peak are so strong?"
Unexpected depletion?”
At this time, the green-robed Taoist priest Li Cangran took three steps forward, touched the ground with his knees, knelt in front of Liu Chengfeng, lowered his head and said: "Master, it was the disciple who used the spirit gathering forbidden method to steal the spiritual veins under the Lotus Peak.
"
"Is that you?" Liu Chengfeng looked at his proud disciple with electric eyes, his chest heaved violently, and he said with an angry smile: "Then tell me, what are you doing to steal the underground spiritual veins?"
"The disciple made an appointment with Lan'er to reach the realm of returning to the virtual world within three years. Suddenly, he was too hasty and used the spirit gathering forbidden method to extract the underground spiritual veins and practice an earth-level technique. Disciple
I know that my sin is serious, and I still ask Master to punish me." Green-robed Taoist Li Cangran raised his head slightly and looked at Liu Chengfeng, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
"Earth Level Cultivation Technique."
Liu Chengfeng's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the green-robed Taoist Li Cangran suspiciously and said, "My master didn't grant you the Earth-level skills. Where did you get the Earth-level skills?"
Green-robed Taoist Li Cangran said calmly without changing his expression: "This is the incomplete technique that my disciple found in a senior cave in Shiwanda Mountain not long ago."
"Oh?" Liu Chengfeng slowly sat back on the Grand Master's chair, his face softened slightly, and asked again: "What is the name of that incomplete technique? Can you open my eyes to it?"
"The Taishang Asks the Sword Chapter is a incomplete secret book of swordsmanship. The disciples are slow in their qualifications and have not fully understood the mysterious swordsmanship recorded in the fragment." Qingpao Taoist Li Cangran made up the name of the secret book and replied.
"Oh." Liu Chengfeng nodded slightly, and then asked calmly: "I secretly stole the spiritual veins under the Lotus Peak, and I punished you as a master by going to the Ghost Cliff to face the wall for ten years to sharpen your sword skills. Can you accept the punishment?"
The green-robed Taoist priest Li Cangran kowtowed in thanks and said willingly: "Disciple accepts the punishment."
At this time, the old man who was guarding the Sutra Pavilion and was wearing a dark blue Taoist robe and missing his front teeth spoke up, "The Emperor Asks the Sword Chapter? Why has I never heard that the ancient sword sect has this secret book of swordsmanship? Can you give me a look?"
"
Liu Chengfeng raised his eyes slightly, looked at the old man with missing front teeth, smiled slightly, and said, "Elder Sun, do you have any opinions on this peak master's decision?"
Old Man Sun, who was missing his front teeth, slightly cupped his hands, stood up from the seat in the second row next to Liu Chengfeng, and said: "But according to the instructions of the peak master, he is already old and has guarded the Lotus Peak Sutra Pavilion for hundreds of years. From then on,
I have never heard of the swordsmanship technique of "Tai Shang Asks the Sword Chapter", so I am just curious for a moment, and hope that the peak master can clarify the confusion for everyone present."
"Throughout the ages, treasures of heaven and earth, as well as secrets of skills and techniques have been obtained by those who are destined. Elder Sun's words are unavoidable..." Qingpao Taoist Li Cangran turned around and looked at Old Man Sun, who was missing his front teeth. He did not say the rest of the words,
But everyone knows the meaning of the rest of the words.
"Stingy." Old Man Sun, who was missing his front teeth, returned to his seat and muttered, "It's okay not to watch."
"Deacons and elders, do you have any other opinions?" Liu Chengfeng looked around and said.
Anyone can see Liu Chengfeng's protective intentions, which makes Li Cangran not only his proud disciple, but also about to become his son-in-law.
All the deacons and elders remained silent and nodded in agreement.
"Then it's decided. The evil disciple Li Cangran secretly stole the spiritual veins under the Lotus Peak and was sentenced to face the ghost cliff for ten years to hone his sword skills."
Liu Chengfeng stood up, glared at the green-robed Taoist Li Cangran, and then said, "Everyone, please disperse."
Liu Chengfeng left the Lotus Main Hall first, followed by the deacon elders, the inner sect elders, and finally the true disciples, inner sect disciples, and the gray-robed boy.
The lady in white clothes took a few steps forward and helped Li Cangran, who was kneeling in green clothes, to stand up. She looked into each other's eyes and smiled. She didn't say anything, everything was silent.
"Xiao Hui, from now on, we will travel around the world." The boy in gray touched Tang Hui's wolf head and murmured: "I wonder how the master is doing?"
Tang Hui still hasn't figured out the situation. He doesn't know what happened and why he left Lianhua Peak in a hurry. You must know that Lianhua Peak is a blessed land of immortals. Cultivation here is much faster than in the outside world. In addition, there is a spirit gathering formation.
, in just one day and one night, he directly advanced to the third level, and the five uncles in the five internal organs fed him a whole small pond of spiritual liquid. The entire lower Dantian expanded a lot, and his whole body was full of strength.
Tang Hui was completely unaware that the five uncles among his five internal organs had extracted half of the spiritual veins under the Lotus Peak. The third to fourth levels were a big bottleneck. The promotion from the spiritual realm to the Dharma realm not only required
It only requires a massive amount of spiritual power, but also requires understanding and even the growth of spiritual power.
After walking for nearly an hour and a half, the boy in gray and Tang Hui arrived at the foot of Lotus Peak. The blue-eyed goshawk had been waiting there for a long time. He bent down and the boy in gray stepped on Tang Hui's back and climbed onto the back of the blue-eyed goshawk.
, Tang Hui jumped easily and landed safely on the back of the blue-eyed goshawk.
For a moment, the boy in gray was filled with confusion. Where should he go after leaving his master?
The blue-eyed goshawk flapped its wings, took off, and soared aimlessly in the sky.
Looking down from a high altitude, the rolling mountain peaks were like small dirt bags at the feet. The boy in gray reluctantly watched the Lotus Peak getting smaller and smaller in his sight, until it disappeared.
He has been following his master Li Cangran since he could remember when he was three years old. He didn’t even know who his biological parents were or what his name was. Later, his master’s wife named him Li Mubai, taking the master’s last name. For the master, his master’s wife
, just like his biological parents, they take good care of him and respond to his requests.
Now that there is no master or mistress, the boy in gray clothes is at a loss, like a rootless duckweed, he can only drift with the tide. Two lines of clear tears slowly flowed out from the eyes of the boy in gray clothes and dissipated in the wind.
