Lu Bai added, "It's getting more and more depraved."
The master of Peach Blossom Temple ignored Lu Bai, but sighed and said to the sloppy Taoist priest: "Uncle Master, this is related to the face and future of Peach Blossom Temple. I have no choice but to take action. I am doing this for Peach Blossom Temple."
"A good one for the peach blossom view."
The sloppy Taoist glanced at the hunchbacked Taoist and said, "If it's really for the Peach Blossom Temple, why did you do such shameful things?"
He looked at the two of them with a serious face. It was obvious that although the sloppy Taoist priest was not in Peach Blossom Temple, he still had an old love for Peach Blossom Temple. "You are so brave, working together to steal the palace's money."
The hunchbacked Taoist priest was slightly startled and looked at the master of Peach Blossom Temple with a puzzled look on his face, "Inside and outside cooperated to steal the money from the inner treasury? Daoxuan, what's going on?"
It turns out that the name of the master of Peach Blossom Temple is Daoxuan.
It seems that the hunchbacked Taoist priest doesn't know the reason for this.
Lu Bai couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, "How dare you kill me without knowing anything."
The hunchbacked Taoist priest walked in from the door, "Aren't you here for our Taoist temple?"
The master of Peach Blossom Temple told him that Lu Bai was going to establish a sect in the capital, and the seat was to the north of the capital.
Unfortunately, the Peach Blossom Mountain where Peach Blossom Temple is located is just north of the capital, so after learning the news, the owner of Peach Blossom Temple told the hunchbacked Taoist priest that Lu Bai went up the mountain this time to drive them away from Peach Blossom Temple.
"Everyone in the world is looking down on our Peach Blossom Temple because we have lost our way to ascension. Now that Mr. Lu has the support of immortals behind him, he naturally looks down on our Peach Blossom Temple even more. Now he wants to drive Peach Blossom Temple away and establish his own sect." The hunchbacked Taoist priest said.
He said and looked at Lu Bai.
He would never allow this to happen.
Therefore, after seeing Lu Bai and Taohua Guan take action with ease, he took action without hesitation.
He may not want Lu Bai's life.
He just wanted to tell Lu Bai that although Peach Blossom Temple was falling apart and declining, there were still a few old guys in the temple, and Lu Bai could not bully them if he wanted to.
When Lu Bai thought about it, it was true.
The territory assigned to him by the emperor indeed included this Peach Blossom Mountain.
However, he reassured the hunchbacked Taoist priest, "I don't have to steal your Peach Blossom View. Although my sect is also built in the north, my sect is different from yours."
It is not so much a sect as a university. The skills he practices are not limited to drunkenness, but also calligraphy, swordsmanship, etc.
He felt that the biggest characteristic of his sect was its openness to all rivers. It was not that Lu Bai had a broad mind, but that it was difficult for Lu Bai to take care of so many cultivation techniques on his own, so he would have to recruit some other sects in the future.
You can also regard his sect as a platform.
No matter the eight major sects or the ten major sects, they can send disciples to teach.
Of course, the inner study hall is a bit difficult.
"Oh, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. This northern part of the capital belongs to our Peach Blossom Temple. Master Lu established a sect here, which would be too disrespectful to our Peach Blossom Temple." The owner of Peach Blossom Temple said gloomily.
"What's the matter? You Peach Blossom Temple can also come to my Haoqi Sect to preach and receive karma." Lu Bai said politely, "Maybe your Peach Blossom Temple can achieve revival because of this."
"Hurrah!"
The master of Peach Blossom Temple said sadly, "Master Lu still has the intention of annexing our Peach Blossom Temple."
"Annexation?" Lu Bailai was amused, feeling that these people looked down on him too much, "Don't say I don't mean to annex, even if I do, I wouldn't bother to annex your peach blossom view."
Lu Bai glanced around and said, "It's deserted and miserable. I'm already a disciple of the Immortal Sword Sect and belong to the Taoist sect, so I might as well establish another sect."
Lu Baimu pointed at the sloppy Taoist priest, "When the time comes, I will let your great uncle be my teacher. He will not have much more future than your Peach Blossom Temple."
"Arrogant!"
The hunchbacked Taoist priest said angrily, "Can you send our great uncle?"
Lu Bai spread his hands helplessly, "But he is my apprentice now."
"What?!" The leader of Peach Blossom Temple and the hunchbacked Taoist priest were startled and looked at the sloppy Taoist priest.
The sloppy Taoist priest had a look of helplessness on his face, "I didn't want to either. His wine is actually so delicious. I originally planned to cheat him out of him with a jar of wine, but I didn't know I would fall into it."
Later, the Tao Te Ching was brewed by immortals, and the sloppy Taoist priest felt embarrassed not to be Lu Bai's disciple.
The faces of the Peach Blossom Temple Master and the hunchbacked Taoist priest looked ugly.
Their master-uncle became someone else's apprentice, so they were many generations behind Lu Bai out of thin air. The young man with whom they were at odds with each other just now suddenly became their elder.
No one else would be happy about this.
Perhaps the only righteous person here is the sloppy Taoist priest.
He thought it would be good to merge Taohuaguan into Haoqimen, "This is a great opportunity for Taohuaguan."
The sloppy Taoist priest is sincere.
Apart from other things, Lu Bai seemed to have the entire Tao Te Ching in his hands.
Taohuaguan's "Tao De Jing" is a fragmentary copy, but it can already ascend. If they get the complete "Tao De Jing", maybe they can seek immortality and live as long as heaven and earth even if they can no longer ascend.
However, the owner of Peach Blossom Temple decisively refused.
"Master-uncle! I respect you as my master-uncle, but in the face of such great matters of right and wrong, as the master of Peach Blossom Temple, I will never allow you to do whatever you want! The dignified Peach Blossom Temple cannot end up like this and be ridiculed by others!" The master of Peach Blossom Temple spoke.
There is a sound when it hits the ground, and there is a lingering sound.
The sloppy Taoist priest waved his hand impatiently, "I just have a suggestion, I don't want to bother with you."
"Then you can't use our Peach Blossom Temple's skills..." The leader of Peach Blossom Temple still had something to say.
"enough!"
The sloppy Taoist priest was unhappy after hearing this, "Why, I have to ask you for instructions on which exercises I'm going to teach you?!"
The sloppy Taoist priest was a free-spirited person. He always felt that it was not good for the sect to cherish its brooms. After meeting Lu Bai, he saw that Lu Bai accepted disciples regardless of their origins.
Cherish.
Lu Bai's behavior of not distinguishing between family walls and noble birth is in line with his temperament. Now that the sloppy Taoist priest sees that Peach Blossom Temple has declined, but still has a sectarian view, he thinks that Lu Bai wants to steal Peach Blossom Temple's skills. He can't help but
The earth hates the fact that iron cannot become steel.
The master of Peach Blossom Temple was drunk by the sloppy Taoist priest, but he was still a little unconvinced. He felt that the sloppy Taoist priest was trying to betray Peach Blossom Temple. He muttered a few words in a low voice, but did not dare to let the sloppy Taoist priest hear him, so he could only look at him asking for help.
To the hunchbacked Taoist priest.
Just as the hunchbacked Taoist priest was about to speak, Lu Bai spoke, "Let's get back to the topic."
He turned around and stared at the owner of the Peach Blossom Temple, "Why did you cooperate inside and outside to steal the emperor's inner treasury? If you don't give me an explanation, I'm afraid the Peach Blossom Temple will turn into dust together with the withered peach blossoms all over the mountain.
"
The hunchbacked Taoist priest also remembered, "Yes, Daoxuan, was it really you who did this?"
The owner of Peach Blossom Temple was silent.
The sloppy Taoist priest's eyes widened and he said angrily: "Why don't you speak? Just now you said that Peach Blossom Temple would never be ridiculed, why are you mute now?!"
When he thought that this might involve a case of eunuchs eating children, he felt like he was getting angry and wanted to spit out his eyes.
The leader of Peach Blossom Temple took a long breath and said slowly: "I am doing all this for Peach Blossom Temple."
The hunchbacked Taoist priest was startled, "You really did this!"
This is an irreparable crime.
"no."
The leader of Peach Blossom Temple then shook his head, making the hunchbacked Taoist a little more lucky.
"Three years ago, a man came to me and asked me to set the Qingxin Temple on fire. For the sake of Peach Blossom Temple..." the leader of Peach Blossom Temple closed his eyes, "I finally agreed."
He summoned the City God and asked him to find the female ghosts in Qingxin Palace and let them set fire to Qingxin Palace for three consecutive years.
"That's all?" Lu Bai frowned.
He thought he had found a big fish, but this was the result?
impossible.
"That's all!" The leader of Peach Blossom Temple then opened his eyes, "I swear in front of the memorial tablet of the ancestor that I only asked the City God to do these things. As for the theft of the inner treasury, it has nothing to do with Peach Blossom Temple."
His tone softened a lot, and he said to Lu Bai: "Master Lu, I only did this in the middle, and those palace maids already had hatred in their hearts. They had burned down the Qingxin Palace many times before. You..."
He was determined to let Lu Bai cover it up, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak.
"Who found you?" Lu Bai asked, "What did he promise to you, so that you would be willing to do something that would definitely make Taohuaguan irrecoverable if it happened?"
The leader of Peach Blossom Temple hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Fairy Spirit Card."
"What!"
The sloppy Taoist priest and the hunchbacked Taoist priest were surprised.
"Fairy Spirit Card?" The hunchbacked Taoist priest took a step forward and approached the master of Peach Blossom Temple, "Daoxuan, is the Fairy Spirit Card in his hand?"
The Master of Peach Blossom Temple nodded, "He tempted me with the fairy card, so I agreed to help him with this."
The fairy card is very important to the declining peach blossom view.
If they can listen to the immortal words and get the Dharma taught by the predecessors or immortals of the Peach Blossom Temple in the sky, they can revive the Peach Blossom Temple again.
If we can contact the sages and gods of Peach Blossom Temple and ask them to ask the gods in the sky to reopen the path to ascension, then Peach Blossom Temple can become the state religion again.
It can be said that the Fairy Cards are related to the future and destiny of Peach Blossom Temple, so the owner of Peach Blossom Temple, who is pure and stoic, has no choice but to agree to help this man burn down the Qingxin Temple in the face of such temptations.
Lu Bai generally understood.
From this point of view, this person used the Immortal Spirit Card to seduce the Lord of Peach Blossom Temple and let the ghosts burn the Qingxin Palace. Then he sent some craftsmen to sneak into it and dig out the tunnel leading to the inner treasury.
"Who is this person?" Lu Bai asked.
Since this man holds the Fairy Card and is still concerned about the Emperor's inner treasury, he is obviously not an ordinary person.
The Master of Peach Blossom Temple shook his head, "I don't know."
Lu Bai was surprised, "You don't know? It's impossible. You don't even know about such an important thing, so you dare to do it?"
The leader of Peach Blossom Temple smiled bitterly, "He has the fairy card in his hand, do you think I have a choice?"
Lu Bai stopped talking.
Yes, the Fairy Card is so important to Peach Blossom Temple. When the owner of Peach Blossom Temple saw the Fairy Card, he was willing to take the risk even if he didn't know who this person was.
He felt discouraged.
He originally thought that this case was almost closed, and for such a big case, the probability of getting something good during the closing lottery was very high, but Lu Bai didn't expect that this case would have to go through a lot of troubles.
Whatever.
This case is so complicated and involves many people, so the probability of getting something good in the lottery is even greater.
"Why don't you just grab it from him?" Lu Bai asked.
He was going to ask something from the Master of Peach Blossom Temple. Even if he didn't know who this person was, he should know something about his appearance, height and voice.
The Master of Peach Blossom Temple shook his head, "His level is the same as mine, but he is extremely wary. As long as I take it hard, he will destroy the fairy card."
Lu Bai nodded silently, thinking that this was important news.
It can be seen from the fighting between Gang Fei and the others that he can deal with the Taohua Temple Master with ease. Therefore, the realm of the Taohua Temple Master should be in the Dongxuan Realm. This person is at the same level as the Temple Master and should also be in the Dongxuan Realm.
Now the scope of investigation is much smaller.
"How old is he?" Lu Bai asked again.
"He always covered his face when he saw me, and his voice sounded like he was middle-aged. His voice was elegant, mellow, and neither impatient nor impatient." The owner of Peach Blossom Temple wanted Lu Bai to let Peach Blossom Watch for a while, and now he answered everything he knew.
"Mask?" Lu Bai frowned.
He thought that the Master of Peach Blossom Temple at least knew what this person looked like.
Lu Bai asked some more questions, but the man's origin was mysterious and he was very cautious. The Master of Peach Blossom Temple got very little information, so Lu Bai didn't ask anything.
"Fine."
Lu Bai rubbed his brow and prepared to fight a protracted battle with the case.
Seeing that Lu Bai stopped talking and could no longer care about his face, the leader of Peach Blossom Temple smiled dryly: "Master Lu, this is my fault, but I am doing it for Peach Blossom Temple, and I hope you will take it for the sake of... my uncle's face.
, can you...cover this matter up."
Lu Bai raised his head, looked at the master of Peach Blossom Temple, and then at the sloppy Taoist priest.
The sloppy Taoist priest showed no expression.
Lu Bai pondered and said: "Eunuch Wei from the inner study hall wanted to kill me the day before yesterday. You don't seem to know why?"
The master of Peach Blossom Temple shook his head hurriedly, "I don't know."
That's strange.
Lu Bai kept it in mind, raised his head and smiled: "It's not impossible if you want me to cover it for you, but I have a request."
"What?" asked the leader of Peach Blossom Temple.
"That person should have given you the fairy card, right? I want to see the legendary fairy card." Lu Bai wanted to see this treasure so much.
After hearing this, the leader of Peach Blossom Temple turned gray and his eyes lost their luster. He sighed and nodded slowly, "Okay."
He turned around to get the fairy card.
The Fairy Spirit Tablet is placed next to the God Tablet in the main hall.
The hunchbacked Taoist priest saw that the master of Peach Blossom Temple looked wrong and asked hurriedly: "Why, this fairy card is wrong?"
The leader of Peach Blossom Temple shook his head while taking it, "The fairy card is the fairy card. It is exactly the same as the album left by the master. It is this fairy card..."
He took out the fairy card and handed it to the hunchbacked Taoist priest who was approaching him. "There was no movement at all."
The Master of Peach Blossom Temple has been worshiping in front of the temple for ninety-nine and eighty-one days without ever leaving the temple. He has worshiped for more than a hundred days now, but there is no movement at all from the fairy tablet.
Like...
"God has given up on us." Peach Blossom Temple's tone was mournful.
This is almost the only basis for the rise of their Taohuaguan.
The sloppy Taoist priest laughed when he heard this, "Nonsense. If you want it to be useful, you would have used it a long time ago. Why did you throw it away when we separated?"
He asked the Master of Peach Blossom Temple to let go of his desire for ascension, "What's so good about ascension? It's better to be at ease in this world."
