Chapter four hundred and nineteen cut peach blossoms
The Peach Blossom View is on the top of the mountain.
Lu Bai and the others climbed up the steps. Peach blossoms were scattered on both sides, covering the steps, and looked so beautiful under the drizzle.
The sword slaves walked along, cutting peach blossoms along the way. Wherever they passed, they fell all over the ground, covering the footprints of their feet trampling on the peach blossoms.
Turning a corner, they stepped onto a platform.
There is a pavilion on the platform, and there is a Taoist priest sitting in the pavilion. The Taoist priest is dressed in simple clothes, covered with patches, with a bun on his head, and his hair is white. He is sitting cross-legged on a stone bench, facing the forest sea on the other side of the pavilion.
, with his back to Lu Bai.
Lu Bai asked the sword slave to keep his voice down and not to disturb others' Qing Xiu.
The sword slave curled his lips disdainfully, "You practice while walking, you practice when you sit, you practice when you think, you practice when you are troubled, you practice when you talk, you practice when you walk. Those who deliberately find a quiet place to meditate often feel very confused. They feel confused, but
I didn’t know why I was confused, so I found a remote place hoping to calm down. As everyone knows, the only thing in this world that can make the heart confused is the heart, and the only thing that can make the heart calm is the heart. As the saying goes, when the heart moves, the wind moves, and the wind moves the heart.
Do not move……"
Lu Bai asked her to shut up, "I'm not a big person, but I have a lot of wrong ideas."
He asked the sword slave to follow.
As soon as I stepped onto the steps and turned away from the pavilion, the Taoist priest in the pavilion spoke, "What a sharp-tongued little girl. What you say is very clear. Then you must be very clever in cultivating the Tao?"
The two stopped and looked back at the Taoist priest. Seeing that the Taoist priest was motionless, he turned around and looked at Lu Bai and the others face to face, with smiles in his eyes.
Lu Bai felt something was wrong and was about to stop him, but the sword slave had already raised his head, "Of course, I am devoted to the sword and take the sword as my heart."
"Let's discuss it?" the Taoist asked.
The sword slave did not hesitate, "It's possible, but you are a few years older than me. I think your realm is very high. You are better than you in the Tao, but you may still be a little behind in cultivation. It's better to wait for three to five years. I will decide
I’ll make you convinced.”
Lu Bai rolled his eyes at Jian Nu's nonsense.
He couldn't understand the realm of the Taoist priest in front of him, but since he couldn't understand it, his realm must be on the same level as him. Facing such a person, Lu Bai would never have had such an idea three years ago.
The Taoist priest smiled slightly and said, "Then let's not use any skills and just sit down and discuss the Tao."
Sword Slave thinks it’s okay.
She waved her hand and asked Lu Bai to go upstairs and do his work while she would meet the Taoist priest here for a while.
Lu Bai was convinced. It was true that a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers. "Aren't you afraid that he will kill you?"
The sword slave didn't think so, "What are you afraid of? We must have the spirit to practice swordsmanship."
Lu Bai felt that this disciple had quite a personality.
He could only look at the Taoist priest and said, "Taoist priest, if my disciple makes any mistake, please be careful and I will burn your Peach Blossom Mountain."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The Taoist priest raised his head and laughed.
"Master Lu is looking down on the world. How can I, an outsider in the mortal world, embarrass a little girl?" The Taoist touched his gray beard and looked at the sword slave sitting calmly opposite him, "I
I just felt that this little girl was a little special, so I started to discuss Taoism, that’s all.”
"Special?" Lu Bai wondered.
If he hadn't known that he had drawn the sword slave, he really wouldn't have seen anything special about this little girl. Could it be that her arrogant face, dislike of everyone, and cold look on her face meant she was special?
If this is the case, Lu Bai can learn from it in the future.
By the way, he can also introduce another special one to the Taoist priest. His sister, that little fox whose mind is full of rebellion, is also quite special.
"Yes, special." The Taoist priest still looked at the sword slave, "Everyone has spirit. Her spirit tells me that she is both confident and proud. With this kind of confidence and pride, if she is not a genius, she must be a fool.
."
Obviously, Taoist priests believe that the sword slave is the former.
But Lu Bai felt that Taoist priests should consider Sword Slave to be the latter.
"On the contrary, Mr. Lu..." The Taoist turned back to look at Lu Bai, "In addition to being a genius, he is considered a practitioner that has never been seen in ancient times and will never be seen in the future. However, he lacks this kind of self-centered temperament. On the contrary, he has more of it.
Many philistines find it difficult to escape from the world of mortals."
The Taoist priest shook his head as he spoke.
Before Lu Bai could say anything, Sword Slave had already spoken, "What do you know, you old-fashioned person? To escape from the mortal world, you can first enter the mortal world. Only by rolling in the mortal world can you not touch the mortal world. Stay away from the mortal world. You can only comfort yourself by escaping from the mortal world."
That’s all.”
The Taoist priest was happy and said, "There are many fallacies, so I'd better see the truth."
He waved his hand, and two peach branches were broken off from the peach blossom tree next to him. One flew into the hands of the Taoist priest, and the other fell into the hands of the sword slave.
Lu Bai glanced at them and walked towards Peach Blossom Temple.
Going up from here, the stone steps are quiet and quiet, and the ground is covered with dead leaves. It seems that it has not been cleaned for many days.
Lu Bai didn't see a little Taoist boy sweeping the house until he reached the gate of Peach Blossom Temple. When he saw Lu Bai, he stopped curiously and stood there looking at Lu Bai.
Lu Bai asked him, "Where is your temple master? Lu Bai, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, wants to see you."
The Taoist boy put down his broom and saluted, "The master has been waiting in the main hall for a long time."
"oh?"
Lu Bai raised his eyebrows, thinking that the temple owner also knew that Lu Bai had found out about him.
Lu Bai thanked the little Taoist boy and walked in.
Facing a large square, at the end of the square is a majestic palace. The glory of the past can be vaguely seen, but now it has declined, and there is an air of decadence everywhere.
The surroundings were quiet and deserted, except for the sound of rainwater falling down the eaves and the ticking sound of the water tank under the eaves.
"Master Lu, please come in."
An old voice sounded in the hall, and the sound echoed in the hall.
Lu Bai felt furious.
He thought that it was strange that Taohuaguan, a sect that used to be so big in the past, was so quiet now. Could it be that he knew that he had found Taohuaguan and wanted to use this to get rid of him and keep him here?
If this is true, then you really underestimate Lu Bai.
Lu Bai made a mistake a few days ago and almost lost his life, but now he won't.
Even though he is alone now, in fact, the sloppy Taoist priest and the wicked monk are hiding somewhere and are secretly protecting him.
After drinking the wine from his purple gourd, you have to do something, right?
With this thought in his mind, Lu Bai walked across the square towards the main hall, his footsteps hitting the bluestone bricks in the square, making a slow sound, as if vibrating the ancient and decaying building.
When Lu Bai walked to the door of the main hall, he saw a curtain in the main hall. He couldn't see clearly behind the curtain. There might be a statue of a god, or there might not be a statue of the god. But in front of the curtain was a large blackened table with offerings on it.
The Yishen Tablet is the God Tablet of the Emperor of Heaven.
A middle-aged Taoist priest sat cross-legged under the table.
"Guanzhu?" Lu Bai asked.
The middle-aged Taoist priest stood up and looked back at Lu Bai, "Commander Lu."
The middle-aged Taoist priest took out three sticks of incense from the table and handed them to Lu Bai.
Lu Bai waved his hand and refused, "I'm not very interested in the Emperor of Heaven. As I said, the founder of my sect almost rises and sits with the Emperor of Heaven."
The observer was speechless.
He put down the incense and asked Lu Bai: "Master Lu, why do you come here?"
Lu Bai turned around in surprise, "You don't know?"
The viewer smiled and asked, "Should I know?"
"Of course you should know that the little Taoist boy just said that you are waiting for me. If you don't know what I am here for, why are you waiting for me?" Lu Bai asked.
The visitor was still smiling, "I know Mr. Lu is coming, but I don't know why Mr. Lu is coming."
Lu Bai felt that he was pretending to be crazy, but he was too lazy to argue. He simply made it clear, "I'm here for the arson case, and by the way, I'm here for the theft of the palace treasury."
He looked at the viewer carefully and said, "These two cases, the viewer cannot be separated from each other."
The viewer smiled and asked: "Master Lu, do you have any evidence?"
Lu Bai looked at him blankly, then smiled and sighed, "After all, he is the master of Peach Blossom Temple. Even if he is called out now, he still has a well-known name. Is it interesting for you to support me here?"
"Or are you afraid that another case will spread and completely ruin the reputation of your Peach Blossom Temple?" As Lu Bai spoke, he walked around and looked at the Peach Blossom Temple.
This peach blossom temple is really in decline, and there are even spider webs in some corners.
"Another case?" The viewer didn't understand, so he asked Lu Bai to clarify.
"The case of eating children." Lu Bai stopped abruptly and turned back to stare directly at the Peach Blossom Temple. "As far as I know, the person who dug the tunnel once sent three children into the palace for the father-in-law. I also learned that,
They practiced an evil method of eating boys and girls to extend their lifespan."
"What?" Peach Blossom Temple Master frowned.
Lu Bai took a step forward and approached the leader of Peach Blossom Temple, almost forehead to forehead with the leader of Peach Blossom Temple. "Could it be that your Peach Blossom Temple provided them with these children?"
The master of Peach Blossom Temple looked gloomy.
He took a step back and his tone became stern, "I hope Mr. Lu will be cautious about these invisible words. It's best to show some evidence when speaking."
"hehe."
Lu Bai chuckled lightly, "I thought you, a monk, would be more upright, but I didn't expect that the dignified owner of the Peach Blossom Temple, a state religion in the past, had done something and dared not admit it. Do you think all the evidence was destroyed by Eunuch Wei that night?
Forget it, I will let you shed a tear when you see the coffin."
After Lu Bai said this, he took out the ghost bowl, touched the edge of the bowl with his hand, and a wisp of green smoke came out of the ghost bowl, and then the female ghost caught in the palace the night before appeared in front of him.
The Master of Peach Blossom Temple turned his head and glanced at the female ghost. After seeing his palace attire, he suddenly thought of something and his expression changed.
Lu Bai calmly opened the fan in his hand, "I have brought the witness, are you still trying to quibble?"
He pointed at the female ghost, "She testified that it was your Peach Blossom Temple who ordered them to burn the Qingxin Temple."
"Tsk, tsk." Lu Bai felt funny when he thought of this, "The majestic state religion actually burned down the emperor's palace. If this news spreads, I'm afraid your Taohuaguan will never be able to turn around."
Not to mention Taohuaguan, even the eight major sects would not dare to burn the palace. If this news spreads, the sky will collapse and the earth will fall into anger, and the eight major sects will not be able to bear it, let alone a declining Taohuaguan.
Hearing this, the leader of the Peach Blossom Temple was covered with a layer of frost. His eyes were fixed on the female ghost, and he punched the hall. In an instant, the wind started blowing in the hall, and a gust of wind wrapped a peach blossom and swept towards the female ghost.
Whoosh!
Lu Bai raised his eyebrows, and a flash of sword flashed, and the peach blossoms were instantly shattered into pieces.
"snort!"
The master of Peach Blossom Temple snorted coldly.
Suddenly, the sound of wind howling sounded outside the window, like a ghost crying.
then.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
All the doors and windows of the main hall were opened, and countless peach blossoms swept towards the female ghost.
Lu Bai still shook the fan in his hand and stared at the peach blossom temple master with a smile. He saw swords flashing around him constantly, transforming into a ninja who cut down the water ghost and chopped off all the peach blossoms.
Within a few breaths, a thick push of petals had fallen in front of Lu Bai.
Peach blossoms are still flying.
It's as if the peach blossoms all over the mountains and plains have come here.
The female ghost was mesmerized by the beauty of the peach blossoms, and was so amazed by Lu Bai's sword skills that she forgot to be afraid for a moment.
Just when she thought the two were fighting inextricably, Lu Bai suddenly raised his hand, and the peach blossom debris in front of him suddenly turned into a layer of dust and blew towards the master of the Peach Blossom Temple.
Poof!
After the dust fell, a bloodstain appeared on the face of the Peach Blossom Temple Master.
It was struck by Lu Bai's sword light mixed in the dust and wind.
The leader of Peach Blossom Temple touched the blood on his cheek and said expressionlessly, "Master Lu is really powerful, but for my Peach Blossom Temple, there is no way you can take this female ghost out of Peach Blossom Temple today!"
"Elder Du!" he shouted.
Whoosh!
A peach branch came in from the window with lightning speed and arrived in front of Lu Bai in the blink of an eye.
Lu Bai could even see ripples trailing behind the peach branches, like a supersonic aircraft.
Lu Bai tried to stop him, but he couldn't stop him at all.
I saw this dry peach branch, and in an instant, peach blossoms bloomed, delicate and bright, but as hard as steel, blocking Lu Bai's sword light, and then the peach blossoms surged up, covering Lu Bai like a piranha flower.
"Uncle's!"
Lu Bai knew that someone more powerful was taking action.
But he didn't panic at all.
A peach branch flew in from the window and plunged into the huge peach blossom. When it hit the previous peach branch, the two fell to the ground together, and then the huge peach blossom that swallowed Lu Bai deflated like a burst balloon.
"Who!" someone asked in a deep voice.
Lu Bai followed the sound and saw an old Taoist priest standing at the door.
He was looking back at this moment.
Needless to say, the first peach branch was obviously made by his hand.
"Me." came the sloppy Taoist priest's voice.
Then, a figure appeared on the beam in the hall. The slovenly Taoist priest was lying on it, taking a swig of wine.
"Who are you?" Peach Blossom Temple frowned.
The hunchbacked old Taoist priest at the door was surprised and said: "Master, master's uncle?"
The Master of Peach Blossom Temple was startled, "Master-uncle? The master-uncle who was able to ascend but gave up on his cultivation and fell into a lower state, thus refusing to ascend?"
It can be heard that the sloppy Taoist priest is very famous. The hunchbacked Taoist priest only called out once, and the master of Peach Blossom Temple knew his identity.
He greeted him hurriedly and respectfully: "Xu Qing has met my uncle in Peach Blossom Temple."
Of course the Master of Peach Blossom Temple knows about sloppy Taoist priests.
He has a strong ear for sloppy Taoist priests.
Because when the Master of Peach Blossom Temple rebelled from the Immortal Sect, this great uncle was about to ascend. However, because of the incident involving Master of Peach Blossom Temple, he gave up his cultivation and refused to ascend.
Since then, there has never been an ascended practitioner from Peach Blossom Temple.
Speaking of which, although this uncle refused to ascend, he did not agree with the disintegration of Taohua Temple. However, he did not care about worldly affairs, and the differences in practice became bigger and bigger because of his refusal to ascend. In the end, Taohua Temple separated
.
The sloppy Taoist priest had no choice but not to return to Peach Blossom Temple, nor to recognize Peach Blossom Temple, and started his dissolute career.
The sloppy Taoist priest sat up from the beam, "I haven't been back to Peach Blossom Temple for many years. I didn't expect that Peach Blossom Temple now has become more and more unruly."
