Guan Kong nodded and smiled with satisfaction, then suddenly turned to look at the crowd of ordinary people and said loudly, "Little friend Li Qianmo, since you are here, why don't you come out to meet us?"
"What? My brother is here too, where is he, where is he?" Bai Mu was very happy when he heard this. He stood on tiptoes and looked into the crowd, looking left and right with his big head.
Li Qianmo knew that he had been discovered by Guan Kong, so he stood up and walked towards here.
"Hey, it's really my brother!" Bai Mu was so happy that he shouted happily and rushed forward, knocking those ordinary people staggering and screaming along the way.
He rushed to Li Qianmo and gave him a bear hug. The two competed for strength, but neither could do anything to the other, so they simply let go and laughed together as they came to Guan Kong.
"Juniors pay their respects to the master." Li Qianmo saluted Guankong.
"Fate, fate." Guan Kong stroked his beard and nodded, with a smile on his face.
"What? Ape dung?" Bai Mu joked again.
Guan Kong smiled and said: "Ten years ago, a certain family met you two at the Mountain of No Return. Unexpectedly, ten years later, the three of us would meet here unexpectedly. What else is it but fate?"
"Indeed." Li Qianmo nodded and smiled, thinking of the scene when he was surrounded and suppressed by various factions ten years ago, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Guankong smiled and said, "Since you two are so destined to the Buddha, why not go to my Jialan Temple as guests together?"
Li Qianmo smiled lightly and nodded: "That's great. I just want to see the Buddhist holy land."
"Please come with a certain family." Guan Kong smiled happily and took the lead, followed by Li Qianmo and Bai Mu.
Qingdeng Peak is only more than fifty miles away from Lanruo Peak. The three of them flew there quickly and landed in the backyard of Jialan Temple. After landing in the sky, they walked forward along the corridor, with Li Qianmo and Bai Mu following closely behind.
Soon, they came to a palace with a plaque that read: Prajna Hall.
The three of them walked in. There was no one in the hall. When they entered, they saw a huge golden Buddha statue sitting in the main hall. Dozens of yellow mats were arranged neatly on the ground. There were many red curtains hanging in the hall, with Buddha statues painted on them or Buddha inscriptions written on them.
, entering here will give people a feeling of peace and tranquility, as if they have escaped from the mundane world.
Guan Kong came to the front and sat down on the futon. Li Qianmo and Bai Mu also sat down. Guan Kong asked Li Qianmo: "Is the crazy Taoist okay?"
Li Qianmo smiled bitterly: "I haven't seen him for several years."
Bai Mu smiled proudly and said: "I know this, he is quite good. When I went to him to borrow the spirit stone, he could still jump around."
"Oh, that's good." Guan Kong nodded assuredly.
Seeing that he looked unnatural, Li Qianmo couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Is Senior Daoxu physically ill?"
"No, you're overthinking it." Guankong shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Li Xiaoyou, do you really not want to consider becoming his disciple?"
Li Qianmo was stunned when he heard this, then nodded and said seriously: "What I said will not change."
"Oh." Guan Kong nodded, showing a hint of disappointment. After a while, he slowly said, "Actually, there is a reason why he wants to accept you as his disciple."
"What reason?"
"Actually..." Guankong stopped talking and shook his head, "Well, let him tell you personally. You guys stay here for a few more days and visit casually. I'd like to excuse myself for now." He said and stood up.
Come.
"Okay." Li Qianmo stood up and saluted him.
Guan Kong walked out of the Prajna Hall, looked at Guan Kong's back, rolled his eyes and muttered: "This monk is really boring. He only talks half-heartedly to satisfy people's appetite."
"It's probably because Senior Daoxu didn't let him say it." Li Qianmo smiled bitterly and sat down.
Bai Mu rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Huh, old man Daoxu just likes to make mysteries." After saying that, he got up and wandered around the Prajna Hall, looking around. If he saw something interesting, he would touch it and pull it.
Pull.
When Li Qianmo saw that he was knocking things around in the temple, he couldn't help shouting: "Bai Mu, don't move around, you will break the things later, or Master Guankong will throw you out of Jialan Temple."
"No, no." Bai Mu said with a grin, "I see that the great monk is quite generous. I made it difficult for him to come down from Qingdeng Peak, and yet he is still so kind to us."
As he spoke, he ran to a dozen ancient statues on the wall and imitated the strange postures of those statues.
As he was doing it, he felt the true energy flowing through his body involuntarily. He was startled and muttered: "Weird, so weird."
"What's weird?" Li Qianmo got up and came to him.
"These stone statues are weird." Bai Mu pointed at the row of statues in front of him.
Li Qianmo looked at the row of stone statues. There were fourteen statues in total. Each statue was about the same size as a real person. However, these statues seemed to be the same person. They were dressed in very strange clothes. They had a big Buddha crown on their head and flying clothes and belts. They were different from ordinary statues.
The monks' robes are very different. The strangest thing is that these fourteen statues have different shapes, and their hands are in various strange postures, as if they are performing hand seals, and each hand seal is different.
"It's just a fingerprint, nothing weird about it." Li Qianmo smiled lightly, pointed to the other side of the hall, and said, "Isn't there one on the other side too?"
Sure enough, there is also a row of stone statues opposite, eight in total, but the sculpture is of a bald monk with simple attire, seemingly boxing. Each move is different, but the expressions are all the same, with wide-open eyes and a somewhat vicious expression.
Bai Mu turned his head and looked at the eight statues opposite, seemingly uninterested. Then he looked at the fourteen statues here and continued to learn their mudras. The true energy in his body began to flow again. It felt very strange.
He couldn't stop doing this and learned the handprints of these statues over and over again.
Li Qianmo noticed the abnormality of Qi in his body, and seemed to have discovered something. He also learned to perform hand seals on these statues, but for a long time there was no reaction, and the Qi sea in his Dantian remained calm.
"It doesn't make sense, am I not as talented as Bai Mu?" Li Qianmo stopped, looked at Bai Mu jumping around, and muttered to himself depressedly.
At this moment, a loud voice suddenly came: "Sun Yidao and Zhong Tianqing from Kunlun School came to Jialan Temple to pay a visit."
Bai's eyes and ears moved, then he suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "Hey, people from Kunlun are here."
Li Qianmo frowned and murmured: "Do they know I'm here?"
"The great monk won't betray us, right?" He blinked and looked at Li Qianmo.
Li Qianmo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master is not this kind of person."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Guan Kong's voice coming: "Elder Sun, Elder Zhong is a guest from afar. Galan Temple is a great honor. However, Galan Temple will be closed for ten years from today and cannot receive you two. Please come back."
.”
When Bai Mu heard this, he shouted happily: "Haha, the great monk is indeed a good man. I want to treat him to meat."
Li Qianmo smiled when he heard this and said nothing, but there was a hint of worry on his face.
Outside the mountain guard formation of Jialan Temple, Sun Yidao and Zhong Tianqing stood side by side. Sun Yidao turned to look at Zhong Tianqing and asked: "Brother Zhong, are you sure that Li Qianmo is at Jialan Temple?"
"Of course." Zhong Tianqing nodded solemnly and said solemnly, "My disciple turned into a mortal and went to Qingdeng Peak to attend the Guankong Dharma Conference. I saw it with my own eyes, and that Pixiu Baimu was also there."
Sun Yidao frowned and nodded, and said thoughtfully: "That old bald man in Guankong seems to have expected that we are here for Li Qianmo and won't let us in. What should we do?"
"I have already expected this." Zhong Tianqing said, "With Guan Kong's cultivation, I must have discovered my apprentice, but it's just not easy to embarrass him openly. Since we can't get in, just send someone to guard him. I will
I don’t believe he can hide Li Qianmo forever.”
Sun Yidao sighed and said: "It seems that this is the only way. I will send people to surround Jialan Mountain to see how long the little beast can stay there."
Li Qianmo and Bai Mu waited in the Prajna Hall for a while, then Guan Kong walked in.
Li Qianmo stepped forward to salute and asked: "Master, is the elder of the Kunlun Sect here?"
"Yes." Guankong said with a faint smile, "Don't panic. A certain family has long expected that they will come and has sealed Mount Jialan. They can't get in, so don't worry."
"I'm afraid they will be guarding outside." Li Qianmo said with a worried look on his face.
Bai Mu laughed happily when he heard this: "Really, they are guarding outside? Then let's go and beat them up quickly."
Guankong heard the words and said with a smile: "Sun Yidao has gone back, and Zhong Tianqing is guarding outside. He is a giant master at the second level of Hedao. I'm afraid you can't deal with him."
"Big master!" Li Qianmo's face became more worried when he heard this.
Seeing that he was worried, Guankong couldn't help but smile and comfort him: "Little friend Li, don't worry. You might as well stay in Jialan Temple for a while and see how long their energy consumption lasts."
Li Qianmo pondered for a long time and sighed helplessly: "This is the only way."
After chatting with them for a while, Guan Kong took them to the side courtyard to arrange their accommodation, and after a few words of advice, he left.
Bai Mu walked around in the courtyard and couldn't stop for a moment. After a long time, he got tired of wandering in the courtyard, and he shouted: "Boy Li, it's so boring here. Let's go to the back mountain to catch birds and beasts and eat barbecue."
"This..." Li Qianmo was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He felt that it was inappropriate to kill and eat meat in this Buddhist holy land. If Guan Kong found out, he didn't know what his reaction would be.
"What the hell!" Bai Mu yelled, pulled him up and ran towards the back hill.
Jialan Mountain is full of vegetarian monks, so there are countless birds and beasts in the back mountain. This made Bai Mu so happy that he grabbed a stone and killed a sika deer, then set up a bonfire and roasted it.
, the two of them drank wine and ate meat, and had a great time, and they had blasphemed the Lord Buddha enough.
Early the next morning, Li Qianmo got up and found that Bai Mu was not in the room. He launched a spiritual search and found that Bai Mu was actually in the Prajna Hall. He couldn't help but wonder to himself: "Why is Bai Mu going to the Prajna Hall?" After that, he walked out of the yard and walked towards the Prajna Hall.
