Seeing that Mu Sanren agreed so readily, Ah-Dai felt relieved.
He originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity of transporting "Hantan Spiritual Dew" to sneak into the Qianyuan Holy Palace, find the place where Lin Shanjun was under house arrest, and rescue him.
Who would have thought that just after entering Thirty-Six Islands, they would be bumped into by the Musan people who came to visit. This person was responsible for the ancestor worship ceremony. If he took away the "Hantan Spirit Dew" and ignored them, he would have no chance.
Entered the Qianyuan Holy Palace.
Fortunately, in his haste, he came up with the idea of using the statue of Daozu as an excuse, and with the persuasion of Budai Sanren Zheng Bailing, he finally got a chance to enter the Qianyuan Holy Palace.
"Thank you to fellow Taoist Mu for making it possible. No matter whether it is a success or not, Qiu will remember fellow Taoist Mu's help." Ah-Dai said, cupping his hands.
After hearing this, Musan nodded with great satisfaction and said no more. After saying goodbye to Zheng Bailing, he walked out of the hall.
"Haha, fellow Daoist Qiu is determined, and I hope you can gain something this time."
Zheng Bailing laughed and said, "But there are still seven days left before the ancestor worship ceremony. You have to have a few drinks with me on Linyuan Island. We won't come back until we get drunk!"
Dumb smiled and said, "I'll stay with you until the end."
In the following days, Ah-Dai and Liang Yan stayed on Linyuan Island.
Zheng Bailing comes to Ah-Dai to drink and have fun almost every day. He is the lord of the six islands in the west. He has hundreds of handyman disciples in the Qi refining period for him to drive. There is no shortage of dancers, musicians, etc., and he comes to the island in different ways every day.
To add to the fun.
Because when he was in Broken Moon Valley, Ah-Dai specifically inquired about all the details about Zheng Bailing, so he did not reveal any flaws in his daily response.
As a result, the three people drank and had fun on the island every day, and seven days passed in this wasted time.
In the early morning of the seventh day, while Ah-Dai and Liang Yan were still meditating, a small mahogany building boat came to the coast of Linyuan Island. On the second floor of the building boat, a tall and thin man in green robes stood with his hands behind his back.
It was the Musan who left here seven days ago.
"Fellow Taoist Qiu, today is the day of our sect's ancestor worship ceremony, and Mu is here to welcome fellow Taoist to watch the ceremony!"
The Musan people's voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the island. Even if Dui was in Zheng Bailing's guest room, he could hear it clearly.
"Looks like it's time."
Duan muttered to himself, stood up and walked out of the room. He saw Liang Yan already waiting at the door. The two looked at each other and walked straight out of Zheng Bailing's palace without saying a word.
When they came to the coast of Linyuan Island, they saw Mu San and Zheng Bailing.
"Haha, my humble house is humble and I have not treated you well these days. Please forgive me, Brother Qiu!" Zheng Bailing was the first to say with a smile.
"Brother Zheng is so polite. Your Linyuan Island is so unforgettable. If I hadn't gone to see the Taoist statue this time, I'm afraid Qiu wouldn't have been willing to leave this place." Duan also laughed and said haha.
"As long as you don't dislike it, Brother Qiu. Brother Yu, you are welcome to come to Linyuan Island at any time." Zheng Bailing waved his hand and said: "Unfortunately, I was ordered to guard Thirty-six Islands and cannot participate in this ancestor worship ceremony. What will happen next?
I can’t accompany fellow Daoist Qiu.”
Ah-Dai and Liang Yan already knew about this. Zheng Bailing and other four individuals guarded the Thirty-Six Islands and were responsible for the safety of the Qianyuan Holy Palace. They would not leave their islands no matter what.
Therefore, the only people who can actually enter and leave the Qianyuan Holy Palace freely are "Mu San people", "Jiu San people" and "Ming De San people".
"It is indeed a pity that I can't watch the ceremony with Brother Zheng. Brother Zheng, take care. If there is a chance next time, come to Laiyuan Island and have a drink with Brother Zheng."
After Dui finished speaking, he hugged Zheng Bailing's fists, turned around and jumped onto the mahogany boat with Liang Yan.
"gone."
The Musan people also nodded slightly to Zheng Bailing, and then with a flick of their sleeves, the mahogany boat under their feet automatically turned around, carrying the three people on board towards the central area of Huangliang Daze.
After Liang Yan and Ah Dai boarded the boat, the Musan people did not talk to them. Instead, they held a compass, sometimes lowering their heads to observe, sometimes making calculations.
Under his control, the mahogany boat was constantly changing its position.
Liang Yan is proficient in formations and knows that the more powerful the formation is, the better it is at changing it. A sect-defending formation like the "Tai Qing Xuan Lei Du Yu Formation" must be changing all the time.
There will be deviations in each route.
The Musan man holds the compass in his hand and makes calculations, calculating the best route at this time.
Since there was someone leading the way, Liang Yan naturally didn't worry about it. He and Ah-Dai stood on the edge of the building boat and enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way.
After about half an hour, a huge island slowly appeared directly in front of the building ship.
Liang Yan leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, and saw that there was a fairy mountain towering into the clouds on the island. The top of the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the pavilions and pavilions were hidden in the clouds. It was like a secret fairyland, which was fascinating.
"This is where my Qianyuan Holy Palace is located."
Mu Sanren, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Although your sect has a good relationship with us, as long as you enter the Qianyuan Holy Palace, you must abide by the rules of our sect. If you anger the palace master, even if you
No one can protect you."
Of course Ah-Dai knew that he was knocking himself, so he immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Qiu came here just to see the statue of Taoist Ancestor. He will never break the rules of your sect."
Musanren nodded slightly, and then said with a self-deprecating smile: "Actually, on top of this ancestor worship ceremony, there is a scandal in our Qianyuan Holy Palace, which will make Taoist Qiu laugh."
"Oh?" Ah-Dai showed a hint of curiosity and asked, "What exactly is going on?"
Musan glanced at him and sighed softly: "That's all, you will know about this sooner or later anyway. More than ten years ago, a traitor appeared in our Qianyuan Holy Palace.
Pass, even in order to cover the escape of the evildoer, this traitor even took action and injured several of my fellow disciples of Qianyuan Holy Palace. Now the palace master has issued an order to abolish this traitor’s name in public during this ancestor worship ceremony.
With her cultivation, she will be punished to kneel under the statue of her ancestor for the rest of her life!"
When Ah-Dai heard this, he couldn't help but feel his heart twitch, and the true energy in his body suddenly burst out!
At this critical moment, he suddenly felt someone tap him behind him, and a gentle force passed through the person's palm and entered his consciousness, calming his anxious mood.
Dumb was not ignorant of the overall situation, but he had a very close relationship with Lin Shanjun, and care would lead to chaos. At this moment, with the help of the person behind him, he immediately took a deep breath, secretly adjusted his own energy, and suppressed the restless breath.
"so close."
Liang Yan also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. The true energy in Dumb's body was surging just now. If his "Hunhun Gong" hadn't been sharp and noticed the abnormality in advance and warned him, his identity might have been exposed at this moment.
He has the "Nirvana Incense" gifted by Taoist Yuan Ya on his body, which can help people calm down and fight against their own inner demons. The reason why Ah-Dai was able to quickly regain his composure just now was because of the help of this treasure.
"Care will lead to chaos. If you want to succeed, you have to hold back your anger for a while, otherwise you will only harm others and yourself." Liang Yan looked at the sea outside the ship, but secretly sent a message to Ah-Dai to warn him.
Ah-Dai nodded slightly when he heard this, and suddenly felt a little self-deprecating, and thought to himself:
"I didn't expect that after practicing Taoism for thousands of years, I still couldn't change my impulsive temper. If it hadn't been for Brother Liang's gentle slap just now, the secret would have been exposed. All the previous efforts were in vain. It was really 'harming others and myself.'"
The two exchanged a few words secretly, but Musanren didn't notice at all. He was currently steering the ship with all his strength, observing the compass and calculating the direction.
After about half a stick of incense, the mahogany boat slowly docked at the shore. Musan took Liang Yan and Ah-Dai ashore, and dozens of disciples from the Qianyuan Holy Palace were waiting around.
One of the leading disciples took a step forward, raised his hands and said, "Uncle Mu, the ancestor worship ceremony is about to be held. The palace master orders you to go there quickly without any further delay."
After hearing this, the Musan people immediately nodded and said: "I already know, and I will rush to Lingyuntai now. You all still perform your duties and guard the passage of our sect."
"yes!"
The disciples of the Qianyuan Holy Palace present responded at the same time.
Musan nodded slightly, raised his hand and flicked his sleeve, and immediately a flying car flew out of his sleeve, grew bigger in an instant, and floated in mid-air.
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, let's go."
After saying that, Mu Sanren took Ah-Dai and Liang Yan on the flying car. The flying car flew through the clouds and fog, and in just half a cup of tea, it carried the three of them to the mountainside.
"The valley ahead is where the ancestor worship ceremony is held. In this important place of the sect, outsiders are not allowed to fly in the air. Fellow Taoist Qiu, you should follow me on foot." Mu Sanren put away the flying car and said lightly.
"Now that we're here, everything is at the discretion of fellow Taoist Mu." Dumb said with a smile.
Musanren nodded slightly and led the way, followed closely by Ah-Dai and Liang Yan. Not long after the three of them walked along the rugged mountain road, they suddenly heard a loud wine burp coming from above their heads.
The three of them looked up at the same time, and saw a strong man wearing coarse linen clothes with his breasts exposed on the steep mountain wall, lying on a protruding rock, sleeping soundly.
Seeing this scene, Liang Yan and Ah-Dai's expressions did not change much, but the Musan man frowned deeply, with a trace of disgust in his eyes.
The next moment, they suddenly saw the drunk man on the mountain wall roll over and fall straight down from a hundred-foot-high rock. Both Ah-Dai and Liang Yan's expressions changed slightly, and they took a few steps back at the same time.
boom!
There was a loud noise, but the drunk man fell to the ground, making a deep hole in the originally uneven mountain road.
"Good wine, good wine. Burp. One more pot? One more pot!"
In the deep pit, the drunkard seemed to have not yet woken up. He turned over and yawned. He yawned a few times and talked in his sleep.
Musan put his hands behind his back, frowned deeply, and there was anger in his eyes. It was obvious that he was trying his best to restrain himself.
"Junior brother Li, no matter how much you mess around, there should be a limit! Today is the day for the sect to worship the ancestor, but you are here drinking like crazy and letting outsiders see the joke. How unbecoming is it!"
Although his scolding was not loud, it was sonorous and powerful. It shook the surrounding leaves and flew away. It was obvious that he had secretly used his magical power.
The drunk man seemed to have sobered up a bit due to his drink. He stretched out his hand to rub his groggy eyes, and then carefully identified the person in front of him. He suddenly smiled and said, "Who is it? It turns out to be Senior Brother Mu! Senior Brother
Why are you getting angry and disturbing my dream?"
"Why are you angry? Haha, doesn't Junior Brother Li know it?" Mu Sanren sneered: "I respect you, and then I think you are a 'Jiu Sanren' of our Qianyuan Holy Palace. Those who don't know, think you are a secular person."
You are a piece of junk. How can you be worthy of the teachings of our ancestors when you are so drunken and dreamy?"
"Hahaha!" After hearing this, the drunkard suddenly burst out laughing.
"Senior Brother Mu is too persistent. When will I wake up from this dream? I know what's going on when I'm drunk! Senior Brother thinks it's wrong for me to be sorry for the teachings of our ancestors. So what happened at the ancestor worship ceremony today, is that right?"
Musanren's expression changed when he heard this, and he shouted coldly: "Junior brother, you should think twice before speaking. Are you trying to follow in that person's footsteps when you criticize the palace master like that?"
Jiu Sanren sighed softly and said: "Hey, the world has changed, and I, Old Li, can no longer understand it. People who practice Taoism originally cultivate a pure heart and few desires, but they insist on fighting over the outcome, and in the end they still have to fight for it.
I want to use my junior sister to marry into another family."
"shut up!"
Musanren shouted loudly, obviously really angry, and there was even a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Haha, senior brother doesn't want to hear it, so I, the junior fellow student, won't say anything. As the saying goes, out of sight is out of mind. Senior Brother Mu will pass a message to the headmaster for me, saying that Mr. Li died drunk on the top of Nanshan Mountain.
I won’t be able to survive for a while, so I won’t go to the ancestor worship ceremony!”
"Huh, whatever you want!"
Musanren snorted coldly, without even looking at this junior brother, he just flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave.
Liang Yan glanced at Jiu Sanren lying on the ground and felt a little emotional in his heart.
Qianyuan Holy Palace has a strict hierarchy, and this person is one of the seven scattered people, but it is rare for him to have his own opinions. He does not agree with the approach of Master Yunli, but he is alone and there are not many people in the sect who can stand
On his side, he could only excuse his absence by being drunk and out of sight.
"let's go."
Ah-Dai shook his head, not caring about the person on the ground, and started walking up the mountain with Liang Yan.
However, just as he lifted his steps, he saw the drunken Jiu Sanren suddenly raised his hand and lightly swept his palm towards him.
Although this palm was unremarkable and had no murderous intent, there was a strong aroma of wine in the palm wind. Liang Yan and Ah-Dai were in the middle of it, and they felt a surge of drunkenness. They almost wanted to sit down and have this conversation.
People drink heavily and revel in drunkenness, dreaming and dying.
Regardless of the path to immortality or the desire to save people, it seems that it is not important at this moment. There is only wine today, drunk now, worry tomorrow, worry tomorrow, drinking and singing for three hundred days, and never wake up from the dream!
