NOVEL WEB Chapter 531 Acquaintance
But then I thought about it, Qi Qingqiu is not a saint in this world, so what does this world have to do with her? Both of them should be thankful that she doesn't destroy the world. It's a bit fanciful to ask others to do such small things.
Thinking of this, Lu Yunchang turned his head and looked at Qin Yue: "Why don't you go into the city for a walk?"
"Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out if you go in?"
Lu Yunchang was startled for a moment: "We should not be so unlucky."
Indeed, this innate cage formation has been in existence for who knows how many years, and it has always been peaceful and peaceful. You can't bear to be blamed for something happening as soon as the two of you come together.
Moreover, both of them had already been here last time, so nothing happened.
Thinking about it, the two of them landed directly and walked towards the city.
Just as he was about to reach the city, Lu Yunchang suddenly stopped. After thinking for a long time, he pulled Qin Yue to a deserted place: "Although our analysis may be OK, it is better for us to have some backup."
After that, he started to set up the formation directly.
About an hour passed before Lu Yunchang and Qin Yue came back. This time, neither of them hesitated and walked directly into the Black Jade City.
Walking into the antique trading market, the two of them realized that there were really many people here, and rubbing shoulders and heels was not enough to describe them. Seeing many people arguing and making noise, the two of them felt a little more happy.
For monks, whether they are born in or out of the world, it is actually a kind of practice. Who said that the fireworks in the world are not as exciting as those on the top of the mountain?
However, along the way, they did see a lot of good mundane things. If these things weren't all connected with cause and effect, the two of them would have actually bought some and collected them.
After looking around, both of them were in awe. Just as he was about to leave, Lu Yunchang suddenly noticed a formation fluctuation not far away.
He walked over and took a closer look, and found that it was a simple secret formation.
When I was confused, I heard a voice coming from beside me: "Two fellow Taoists, Huanyin, are here."
The two of them turned their heads at the same time and saw a young man who looked about twenty years old standing not far away, looking at the two of them with a smile.
Seeing the two people looking at him, he smiled and said: "Since the two of them can discover the formation, they are naturally fellow Taoists."
Lu Yunchang smiled and said, "You misunderstood, we were just passing by."
The young man smiled and said: "No misunderstanding, my master asked me to wait for you here."
"May I ask who the commander is?" Lu Yunchang was a little surprised.
The young man said: "Please come with me."
After that, he turned around and left. Lu Yunchang and Qin Yue looked at each other and saw doubts in each other's eyes.
However, the two of them didn't have ink marks for too long, so they still chose to follow.
Following the young man, he turned around and finally stopped outside a house. I heard the young man bowing to the courtyard and saying, "Master, the two boys have been brought here."
A hoarse voice came from inside the room: "I know."
Soon the courtyard door was opened, revealing a somewhat frail old figure.
The old man was wearing a simple Taoist robe. The moment he saw Lu Yunchang, his originally cloudy eyes suddenly glowed with a golden light. He looked at Lu Yunchang and said, "Little friend, long time no see."
Lu Yunchang asked doubtfully: "Taoist Priest, do we know each other?"
The Taoist smiled and said: "We met once in Yin City at that time. I also bought some spirit-gathering talismans for my little friend."
A figure suddenly appeared in Lu Yunchang's mind, and he said in surprise: "Is it you?"
Seeing that he was thinking about it, the old Taoist smiled and led the two of them into the house. Lu Yunchang asked curiously: "Taoist Priest, everyone was wearing masks to hide their faces. How did you recognize me?"
The Taoist said: "In fact, it's not difficult. Our Taoist sect has a method of seeing through illusions and seeing the truth. So those clumsy little tricks can't hide it from us."
The three people sat opposite each other in the room. After the young man poured tea for the three of them, he sat cross-legged quietly behind the old Taoist.
The old Taoist finally broke the silence and said, "It's such an unexpected joy to see you, Mr. Lu, today."
Lu Yunchang asked in confusion: "Why did the Taoist Master say this?"
"It's a long story." The Taoist sighed, and then said, "Fellow Taoist Lu, have you met Qiu Li?"
Lu Yunchang was even more confused: "Taoist Master, you..."
"Haha." The Taoist smiled, "Fellow Taoist Lu, please don't misunderstand me."
Then he told the whole story.
The old Taoist's surname was Mu, and his given name was Yunshu. He was originally a Taoist resident at Qiushui Guoxingyun Temple, and his Taoist name was Shanqing. On weekdays, in addition to practicing, I also do some trivial things such as helping people tell fortunes, read fortunes, and pray for blessings, so my days are quite leisurely.
Then one day, a Confucian scholar came to the Taoist temple. He studied heaven and man, discussed Taoism with Mu Yunshu, and knew everything about astronomy and geography throughout the ages.
The Confucian scholar is Qiu Li, whose cultivation of Confucianism and Taoism has reached its limit. He travels thousands of miles, hoping to measure the world with his footsteps.
Qiu Li stayed at the Taoist temple for three months, and discussing Taoism with Mu Yunshu every day became a required course for him. Mu Yunshu had no objection to this, because every conversation with Qiu Li benefited him a lot.
Over time, the two of them became friends, a true acquaintance of gentlemen.
Half a year later, Qiu Li left, planning to continue traveling around. Although he was a little reluctant to leave, Mu Yunshu also knew that it was meaningless for him to continue to stay here. Discussing Taoism with oneself is just to prove one's own Confucianism, but after all, the two Taoisms are different. The method of using stones from other mountains to attack jade is effective, but it is far from ideal.
Before leaving, Qiu Li advised Mu Yunshu to move around more as a friend. Mu Yunshu, who had never had great ambitions, only agreed verbally, but he also knew that this Xingyun Temple was a prison he had drawn for himself, and he could not escape easily.
After Qiu Li left, Mu Yunshu's monastic life became boring again. The daily service was just like it had been year after year, and he didn't feel bored at all.
However, one autumn morning two decades after Qiu Li left, when Mu Yunshu opened the door of the Taoist temple, he saw a person standing at the door of the Taoist temple.
Mu Yunshu took a closer look and was naturally happy after recognizing the person, and hurriedly welcomed Qiu Li into the Taoist temple. During the conversation, we also learned about Qiu Li's bumpy road to seeking enlightenment over the years.
But when he learned that Qiu Li fought with a group of ghost cultivators in a place where yin energy gathered and died soon, Mu Yunshu suddenly felt a little sad.
Qiu Li came here first to say goodbye, and secondly to ask Mu Yunshu for help. It is said that the peak ghost king has been destroyed by himself, but the soul of the ghost cultivator will not die because of the destruction of the body. Therefore, he used Confucian and Taoist methods to seal it in the belly of a mountain, and then came to find help.
He not only found Mu Yunshu, but also some strange people, including Confucian and Taoist monks.
But the ghost way's methods are weird and unpredictable. Although the ghost king is sealed, he cannot be killed at all. He can always be resurrected with the help of huge Yin Qi. In the end, everyone had no choice, so after discussion, the current layout of Black Jade City began to take shape.
