Looking back at the big stone in the lake, Chai Tiannuo suddenly smiled. The artistic conception was good, and the fish jumped over the dragon gate. Walking past the stone monument, the closer to the building, the higher the temperature. Shandong and Shanxi are already dozens of degrees cooler, but here, it feels a little bit summery.
It feels so real, it makes people feel surprised.
After walking for tens of feet, there was no longer a path underfoot, but a regular bluestone road. Pedestrians gradually appeared on the road, mostly wearing Taoist robes. There were men and women, and there were even families with children walking hand in hand.
Chai Tiannuo chuckled, knowing clearly in his heart that this was a Taoist monk within the Taoist sect. He could also be called a Taoist priest, but he was not like a Taoist who practiced Quanzhen. He could marry a wife and have children.
branch.
It seemed that outsiders often came and went here, and the Taoist priests were not surprised to see Chai Tiannuo. They all nodded politely and said hello, showing their magnanimity.
"Hello, Taoist Master." When he came to a lonely Taoist priest, Chai Tiannuo cupped his hands as a gift, and the Taoist smiled and returned the greeting.
"A certain person came here to fulfill his wish. Do you know where Peng Keng's sect is? I have been entrusted by Peng Keng and there are items that need to be returned."
"Peng Keng?!" the Taoist said in surprise, his voice changed its tone, and the original wind and lightness completely disappeared.
"Hey, Peng Keng is the leader of our Koi Sect. He has disappeared for twenty years. The sect has also sent out many people to search for him, but there is no news about him."
"Householder, how is he now? Is he still alive?" Chai Tiannuo was dressed half like a Taoist and half like a scholar, so his voice matched that of a layman.
"Peng Keng is still alive. As for whether he is good or not, how can he know how happy a fish is if he is not a fish?" Seeing Chai Tiannuo's wry smile, the Taoist knew that Peng Keng's life must not have been good, and he was probably still in danger, but
Eighty percent of the time, the fault is self-inflicted. He doesn't like other people's help, but it's no different from his nature.
"Everything is fine. I am a poor Taoist who will take a layman to see the sect leader. The sect is vast and it is easy to get lost without someone to guide you." The Taoist priest turned around and left. Chai Tiannuo thanked him and followed him forward.
When you walk into the building complex, you will be greeted by the fresh fragrance of flowers. There are a large number of flowers and plants planted around each house, which looks beautiful and colorful.
The residents I met on the road all had smiles on their faces, and it was obvious from a glance that they were in good spirits.
"Taoist Priest, you have quite a few members of the Koi Sect along the way. Are you afraid there are two to three thousand people?"
"Not only that, what the layman saw was only the lakeside. Including the people living in seclusion in the middle of the mountain, there should be more than 5,000 people." After hearing what the Taoist said, Chai Tiannuo couldn't help but take a breath. The sect with 5,000 people is true.
Big beyond imagination.
After all, it is just a sect, not a sect with many believers.
"There are so many members of the Koi Sect, why have you never heard of it before?" Chai Tiannuo asked doubtfully, and the Taoist smiled and said: "The sect is considered a semi-hermitage, and not many people go out, and the northern region is a remote area.
, How can it compare to the tranquility and wealth in the sect?" This seemed to sound right at first. Chai Tiannuo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and somewhat understood why Peng Keng stayed in the Canniang Cave and refused to leave.
The unified problem of the door, home!
Passing through the building complex and going up the mountain road, you can see the lush canopy of trees above your head, and the sunlight falls through the gaps, making it mottled and quiet.
Hundreds of feet upward, a four-story building was built according to the cave. Chai Tiannuo looked up and his mouth twitched, and he groaned, and it became more and more correct. Peng Keng was not only because of his wife and daughter, but also too lazy to move, so the surrounding environment was similar.
The Taoist priest led Chai Tiannuo through the building and walked through the cave for a long time. They came to a quiet room, knocked on the door lightly, and walked in.
Chai Tiannuo understood why the Taoist priests said it was easy to get lost, but it was so complicated that 80% of the residents here occasionally had trouble finding their way.
Entering the quiet room, there was only an old Taoist with white hair and beard, wearing a linen robe. He was the old master of the Koi Sect, he was seventy-eight years old.
Hearing the intention of Chaitino's visit, the old sect master crossed his hands and saluted, and asked with a wry smile: "The layman may tell me, how is Peng Keng now?" This question made Chaitino happy. The old sect master cared about people, not things.
, the human touch warms the heart.
Chai Tiannuo returned the favor and told everything about Peng Keng. The old Taoist shook his head repeatedly. He had never wanted to go to such a distant place. In this life, he would probably never see it again.
Taking out the wooden box, Chai Tiannuo presented it with both hands, and the old sect leader took it. Looking at the Heaven-turning Seal in the box, joy appeared on his face. It was finally the sect's most important treasure. Now that he had found it, it was considered a blessing.
"Thank you, layman!" The old sect master saluted again, and Chai Tiannuo returned the gift hurriedly. Just as he was about to speak, someone suddenly broke into the room and said with a cold face: "Where is the secret place of the peach blossom? It must be returned. Peng
Keng is always placed together with the Heaven-turning Seal!" Chai Tiannuo raised his eyebrows. Judging from his attitude, he knew that he must be here to stir up trouble, so he pointed to his forehead and said with a smile: qqxδnew
"Here, it has been integrated into the whole body." Seeing the curiosity on the old sect master's face, Chai Tiannuo smiled and talked about the Taoyuan Paradise, and finally spread his hands and said: "It has been integrated into the body and cannot be returned."
"In this way, the blessed land of Taoyuan should be a flower with five petals, and the layman can complete it with one more petal. By then, the blessed land will have undergone earth-shaking changes. I congratulate you in advance." The old sect leader smiled and handed over his hand, and Chai Tiannuo also smiled.
After returning the gift, the visitor became even more angry when he saw that both of them ignored him, and said with an angry voice: "You must return it, otherwise you will be unable to leave the Koi Sect!" Chai Tiannuo still ignored him, but
He smiled and asked the old sect master: "Sect Master, does the Peach Blossom Secret Realm belong to the Koi Sect?"
"No, that's what Peng Keng gained from his travels. It's his own private property. How to deal with it is his own freedom." The old sect master said seriously. Chai Tiannuo nodded, looked at the man who suddenly appeared with a chuckle, and thought to himself
Your sect master has said this, what else do you think?
"Sect Master, are you old and confused? All members of the sect belong to the sect, especially the objects on their bodies!" The visitor was still unwilling to give up. Chai Tiannuo was a little shocked. He dared to talk to his sect leader like this. After all,
What is your identity?
The old sect leader was not angry, but just spread his hands and said helplessly: "I have never heard of your remarks. Even so, the layman has integrated into the body and cannot be returned at all."
"Furthermore, the layman traveled tens of thousands of miles to return the Heaven-turning Seal, which is already a great kindness. If you speak like this, wouldn't it be repaying kindness with enmity?"
"I don't care if he is gracious or not. He must be handed over. Otherwise, his soul will be shattered. No matter what, he must take back the Peach Blossom Secret Realm!" The person who came here said as he pulled out the Qingfeng from behind, with a greedy look in his eyes.
.
"Li Yu, Li Yu, you guys are too arrogant and will cause great trouble for the Koi Sect!" The old sect leader sighed, and Chai Tiannuo asked softly: "Sect leader, it was because of your Dantian that you let these little crawlers crawl.
To the top of your head?”
"I am really ashamed to let lay people see the scandal in the sect." The old sect leader said with a face full of shame. As soon as Chai Tiannuo entered the quiet room, he discovered that the old Taoist's Dantian was not functioning smoothly. Although he was in the realm of the ninth grade of knowing destiny,
But I'm afraid that I won't even be able to use Ranchen's skills.
