Four thousand nine hundred and eighty-eight chapters
Xiaoya looked at the arm hanging on her chest, reached out to stop her and said, "Master, it's inconvenient for your arm to be injured. Let's do it yourself. Just give us some advice."
She and Lingling pushed the master aside without saying a word. The two picked up the kitchen knife and the vegetables in the basin next to them, and started to work skillfully.
Wan Lin also said, "Okay, I'll burn the fire." As he said that, he walked to the stove and sat down, reached out to pick up a few dry tree branches placed next to him and broke them at his feet.
Master Nian Ci sighed as he looked at the three of them working, "We have never been so lively here in our temple. Are you really from the Wan family?" When she was outside the Zen room just now, she had already heard the conversation inside.
While working hard, Xiaoya looked at her and replied, "Yes, the three of us are all disciples of the Wan family." She pointed to Wan Lin and introduced, "His name is Wan Lin, and he is the direct descendant of the Wan family.
We are all his junior sisters.”
She then pointed at herself and said to Lingling, "Just call me Xiaoya, her name is Lingling." Before she finished speaking, Lingling turned her head and looked at the master and asked curiously, "Master Nianci, you are all Xi
How could the internal skills of Xuanxu Temple be not a disciple of Xuanxu Temple?" Wan Lin and Xiaoya also focused on their minds and looked at the master, and their eyes also flashed with confusion.
Master Tianjue has profound internal skills in Xuanxu Temple and has obviously obtained the true teachings, but she said that she is not a disciple of Xuanxu Temple, which really puzzled Wan Lin and the other two.
Master Nian Ci heard Lingling’s question, she pondered for a moment, then turned her head and looked outside the house. She lowered her voice and said, “You are all children of the Wan family. I have heard the lord tell you Wan family.
The name of the sect knows that your family is the best in the martial arts world with their internal skills and medical skills. You just saved the arch master and Lingyu again. You are not outsiders, so I won’t hide it from you.”
She said that she pushed open the window beside her. She leaned against the window, looked at the moonlight shaking in the wind in the temple and said, "Actually, the master of the temple is my mother, and my father is what you call Xuanxu Temple
Master Xuwu, but I have never seen this biological father.”
Wan Lin and the other two were secretly surprised when they heard this. Lingling looked at Master Nian Ci and asked in surprise: "Can the Taoist priests have a family? How could you leave Xuanxu Temple and become a monk here?" Wan Lin and Xiaoya's
A look of confusion appeared in his eyes.
Nian Ci still looked out the window and replied calmly: "Since ancient times, Taoism has been divided into two major sects: Quanzhen and Zhengyi. Quanzhen Taoist priests are monks and cannot get married, and they are vegetarian. What you are talking about is the Taoist priests of Zhengyi. Xuanxu Temple
It was a branch of Quanzhen. At that time, my mother and Xuwu were both subordinates of Xuanxu Temple. At that time, Xuwu was the young master of Xuanxu Temple and had already obtained the true teachings of Xuanxu Temple."
She said this, turned around and looked at Wan Lin and the other two and continued, "At that time, they practiced martial arts and martial arts together every day, and my mother and Xuwu secretly developed feelings for Xuwu, so Xuwu will be the internal skills and medical techniques that only the observer can master.
, The secret was passed on to my mother."
When Wan Lin and the other two suddenly realized this, they all said in their hearts: "It turned out that Master Xuwu secretly taught him. No wonder Master Tianjue has such profound skills."
Master Nian Ci saw the expressions of the three of them and understood what they were thinking. She continued, "You are right. Xuanxu Temple's internal strength is extremely cold. Cold poison will be produced in the body during practice. If there is no unique antidote or expert.
To assist in combating the cold poison in the body, most disciples cannot practice to our temple master's status.”
She looked out the window and said with some envy: "At that time, Xuwu often secretly assisted my mother in practicing martial arts. The dagger you took out was the treasure of Xuanxu Temple. It can enhance your skills with a dagger made of cold iron, and it can also be used to enhance your skills.
Use the beads on the scabbard to restrain the cold poison. At that time, Xuwu often secretly lent this dagger to my mother to enhance her skills and drive away the cold poison in her body, so my mother's cold skills have reached the level of a master."
When Xiaoya heard this, she looked at her and asked, "Then why did your mother leave Xuanxu Temple?" Master Nian Ci replied, "Later, the old master discovered Xuwu's affair with my mother. He was furious at that time.
Immediately drove my mother out of Xuanxu Temple.”
"That old master is too unreasonable. He just drove your mother out. Did Master Tianjue not go to find Taoist Master Xuwu later?" Lingling asked impatiently.
Master Nian Ci was silent for a moment, and she lowered her head and replied in a divine manner: "At that time, Xuwu was the young master of Xuanxu Temple, and he was responsible for the important task of continuing the sect of Xuanxu Temple. How could the old master drive him out? At that time, my mother had already
When she got pregnant with me, she did find Xuwu secretly and wanted him to take my mother away from Xuanxu Temple."
She said with a sad expression: "After Xu Wu pondering for a long time, he refused to leave with my mother. He said that he was the young master of Xuanxu Temple and must not let Xuanxu Temple last for nearly a thousand years for the sake of his children's love.
His unique skill was broken in his hands. At that time, my mother was furious and turned away from Xuwu. She never returned to the mountain where Xuanxu Temple was."
"Don't Xuwu know that your mother is pregnant?" Xiaoya asked a little angrily, and Lingling also stared at her big eyes and shouted: "This Taoist Master Xuwu is too unreasonable. Since your mother is pregnant, why did he
Can you abandon your orphans and widows?"
"Oh..." Master Nian Ci sighed, and she followed, "My mother was arrogant and did not tell Xuwu that she was pregnant with me. She left Xuwu in anger, and then she tossed with her big belly.
When I came to this mountainous area, it was the old temple master Shan Ci's grandson who took her in and gave birth to me in a thatched hut outside the temple."
Wan Lin, Xiaoya and Lingling heard this and had already roughly understood the grudges between Master Tianjue and Master Xuwu of Xuanxu Temple. Wan Lin was silent for a moment, looked up at Master Nian Ci and said, "You are the only ones here."
Are there three people? Why is the Lingyu girl here? I see that she has long hair and seems to have not converted to Buddhism yet."
Master Nian Ci replied: "Yes, there are only three of us here now. When my mother came here, there were the old master and three other disciples here, but the life here was extremely poor and lonely. The other three other disciples
They had no chance with the Buddha and left here one after another."
When she said this, her expression suddenly dimmed. She lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment, and said quietly: "After my mother gave birth to me, I beg the lord to take us mother and daughter here to practice. After the old lord passed away, my mother preached the Dharma.
The name is Tianjue, and it has also been renamed Jueqing Temple."
