A few days later, a piece of bombshell news was like a depth bomb, causing quite a stir in the entire alien world.
"Have you heard? There is news from within the Lu family that the Lu family's baby bump, Lu Linglong, seems to be getting engaged next month!"
"What?! Engaged? To whom? Wasn't Lu Linglong still in love with that Hua Sheng before? Could it be him?"
"How is it possible? That scumbag who killed his father can be said to be a street rat in the alien world. Everyone calls for beating him. The Lu family is one of the four families and has been a famous family for thousands of years. How is it possible?
What kind of person would you marry Lu Linglong to?"
"Yes, then since it's not Hua Sheng, who is the groom?"
"I don't know, and there is no news about the man."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Linglong, my goddess, why are you suddenly engaged to someone else!!!"
"Which bastard is he! I want to challenge him!!"
…
After the news of Lu Linglong's upcoming engagement spread, the attitudes of the entire alien world were also different. Some people were curious about who the man would be, while others were wondering why the Lu family was suddenly making such a big fuss. Is there something behind this?
What other purpose?
However, no matter what outsiders speculate, the initiator of this turmoil is acting like an innocent person at the moment, sitting in the car and admiring the busy scenery outside the car window.
"Damn fat man, if you keep bombarding me with phone calls, believe it or not, I won't even be able to let you in from the engagement party?!" Hua Sheng threatened helplessly into the phone.
Ever since the news was released by the Lu family, he had been bombarded by his friends, who called him to ask if it was true.
Among them, especially Zanglong, this damn fat guy, could call eight times a day to ask if it was true. Every time, he would cry to Hua Sheng here with a crying voice. Hua Sheng was so annoyed that there was nothing he could do, so
That was the scene just now.
"No! Brother Hua, I was wrong. Please let me attend your engagement party. As the captain of Linglong's fan support group, at least let me witness Linglong's happiness..."
"Go away, I'll think about it if you hang up now!"
"Okay brother, see you next month!"
As a beep came from the other end of the phone, Zanglong finally hung up.
Hua Sheng put down his phone with a speechless expression. If his mother hadn't been telling him to keep the phone open at all times before going out, he would have really wanted to turn off his phone right now.
"Well, Hua'er, it's true. In fact, I was only informed by my master a few days ago."
Hua Sheng glanced at Lu Linglong, who was driving next to her and answering the phone with a Bluetooth headset. No need to think too much, she must be busy dealing with her friends just like him.
"Hey, I know it's a bit sudden, but what can I do? This is the master's decision."
"You little girl, why are you pretending to be in front of me? If you don't agree, can Grandpa Lu still force you to get engaged to Hua Sheng?"
Lu Linglong's face turned slightly red, and she glanced at Hua Sheng in the passenger seat with a guilty conscience.
Fortunately, I was wearing a Bluetooth headset, otherwise if this guy heard it, I would really have to dig out three bedrooms and one living room!
"Go, go, go. If you keep doing this, I won't tell you!"
"Oh yo yo, our Linglong is shy. Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Let's see you next month. I didn't expect that the first engagement party I attended was actually for a girl like you.
If this had happened before you got to know Hua Sheng, I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death!"
"I won't tell you anymore, I'm still driving! Hang up, hang up!"
Lu Linglong quickly hung up the phone. If she continues talking, God knows what shocking words this girl Hua'er will say.
"Did Hua'er call?" Hua Sheng asked softly.
"Um."
"Oh, I've been really busy dealing with them these days..." Hua Sheng rubbed his brow with a headache.
Sometimes I really feel that dealing with interpersonal matters is more tiring than fighting with others.
"Me too, oh, so tired..."
Lu Linglong leaned on the seat with a tired look on her face and drove the car helplessly.
As for why Hua Sheng suddenly dared to take Lu Linglong's car, it was because this was in an urban area and she couldn't engage in drag racing.
I have to admit that, as long as she is not allowed to do whatever she wants, Lu Linglong's driving skills are actually quite good. At least she drives really steadily.
"How long does it take to get to Baiyun Temple?"
"We're almost there. I haven't gone back to see Master for a long time. When I met Taoist Liu Xingyang last time on Longhu Mountain, he specifically told me that Master misses me and wants me to go back and see him!"
"It seems that no matter where she is, our Linglong is the one who is loved in heaven!"
Hua Sheng smiled. They were getting engaged now. According to etiquette, they should first visit Lu Linglong's master in person.
"That's a must!" Lu Linglong raised her head proudly.
"Well, here we are, Baiyun Temple!"
Hua Sheng opened the door and got out of the car, and what came into view was a simple and solemn building.
"Is this Baiyun Temple..."
BJ Baiyun Temple is one of the ancestral temples of the Quanzhen Longmen Sect of Taoism. It enjoys the reputation of "Quanzhen's No. 1 Jungle" and is currently the largest Taoist temple of the Quanzhen Sect. After the founding of New China, the Chinese Taoist Association, China Taoist College and China
National institutions in the Taoist community such as the Institute of Taoist Culture were once established in Baiyun Temple.
The stone wall of the mountain gate is carved with patterns such as flowing clouds, cranes, and flowers, with powerful knife skills and exquisite shapes. There is a palm-sized stone monkey hidden in the relief on the east side of the central gate, which has been touched by tourists.
"Let's go in."
Lu Linglong took the initiative to hold Hua Sheng's hand and led him towards Baiyun Temple.
"Uncle Linglong."
As soon as Lu Linglong entered Baiyun Temple, some Taoist priests in Taoist robes kept calling her uncle, and Hua Sheng was amazed.
"Hey, Linglong, you are quite senior."
"Well, the main reason is that my master has a higher seniority. I am a disciple of the 30th generation of "Xing", so my seniority is indeed quite high."
"oh oh."
"This Baiyun Temple is actually similar to Longhu Mountain. Most of the place has been developed as a tourist attraction. Only the deepest part has been preserved as our residential area."
"I understand, these days, there is no place that their tourism bureau cannot develop!" Hua Sheng shook his head and couldn't help but complain.
Judging from the shiny stone monkey at the door, I'm afraid there are quite a lot of people visiting Baiyun Temple.
"Quanzhen people are not allowed to get married and have children, right?"
"Well, there is indeed such a rule, but I am a lay disciple, and they can't control me, hehe."
Lu Linglong stuck out her tongue playfully and led Hua Sheng on a familiar road. After a while, they arrived at a courtyard with lush green plants.
"Master! Master! Are you in there? I'm back to see you." Lu Linglong shouted to the room in the courtyard.
"It's Linglong, come in." An old voice came from the room.
"okay."
Lu Linglong smiled, pulled Hua Sheng and pushed the door directly in.
"Master, I'm back!"
Hua Sheng took a closer look and saw a kind old man looking at them with a smile in the room.
The old man's hair was combed very carefully, without any mess, but the silvery white hair was still clearly visible among the black hair. In the slightly sunken eye sockets, a pair of piercing dark brown eyes spoke quietly.
With the vicissitudes of time.
"Ho ho ho, little Linglong, are you finally willing to come back and see your master?"
"Hehehehe, no way, I have actually wanted to come back to see you, Master, for a long time. It's not because there are too many things outside that I was delayed for a while..." Lu Linglong touched the back of her head in embarrassment.
"By the way, Taoist Master Liu Xingyang can testify that I saw him at the Luotian Dajiao last time. I told him at that time that I would go back to see you, Master, after I finished my business outside!"
"Hahaha, that boy Xingyang told me as soon as he came back. So, you girl have finished your business outside now?"
"Roughly the same?"
"Forget it, I don't know you little girl yet. Aren't you going to introduce the kid next to you?"
"Ouch! I forgot to introduce you to Master. This is Hua Sheng, my... emmm, friend."
Lu Linglong's face turned slightly red. With their current relationship, she originally wanted to talk about her fiancé, but she still didn't have the nerve to say it, so in the end she had to bite the bullet and talk about a friend.
"Hua Family Hua Sheng, I have met my senior."
"Young descendants of the Hua family? How is your great-grandfather Hua Zhu now?" The old man raised his eyes and glanced at Hua Sheng.
"My lord, everything is fine now."
"It's been so many years, I haven't seen anyone from the Hua family again for a long time..."
The old man shook his head with emotion, but then he looked at Lu Linglong with a half-smile but not a smile: "Girl, you all brought me here, are you really just a friend?"
Lu Linglong's face became even more rosy, and her originally eloquent voice instantly became hesitant, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.
Upon seeing this, Hua Sheng took Lu Linglong's hand, squeezed it gently, and then saluted the old man.
"Senior, please stop teasing her."
"Hahaha, little guy, don't you think this girl looks interesting?"
Seeing her master acting like an old naughty boy, Lu Linglong was also furious, but there was nothing she could do.
"Okay, okay, regarding your engagement to him, your grandfather actually told me a few days ago."
"Ah?" Lu Linglong blinked, wondering why he was moving so fast!
"What's so surprising? Although you are a lay disciple, the disciple is about to get engaged. Tell me, the master, what's the problem?"
"No, no, I'm just a little surprised..."
"Why are you surprised? I'm surprised that your grandpa has already told me and still wants you to come to my place specially?"
"No master, I really don't mean that! Even if there is no engagement, I will come directly to see you when I come back."
"You girl, you're always good at talking."
The old man shook his head, smiled helplessly, and then turned his attention to Hua Sheng.
"Girl, you go out first. I want to talk to your friend about something."
"Ah?" Lu Linglong glanced at the old man with some confusion.
"It's okay, senior won't eat me. Linglong, just wait for me outside now."
"Oh, okay."
Squeak~
After Lu Linglong went out and closed the door, the room fell into an eerie silence.
The old man and the young boy just stared at each other without speaking, and the air became terrifyingly silent for a moment.
After a long time, the old man finally said slowly: "Yes, it is rare to be so calm at such an age, it is rare..."
"Senior, you stopped me alone, do you want to say something to me?" Hua Sheng said calmly.
"Well, I do want to tell you something."
"Senior, please tell me. I will remember this in my heart."
"It's been nearly twenty years since this girl Linglong became our servant and started to practice. Over the years, I have been asking her to practice tranquility and learn how to control herself. The reason is that I think you should too.
clear."
"Well, because of Linglong's post-traumatic stress disorder."
The old man was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding the meaning of this professional term that came out of Hua Sheng's mouth.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) refers to the sequelae of disordered psychological state after a person encounters or resists major stress.
These experiences include life threats, severe physical injuries, physical or mental coercion, and are sometimes referred to as post-traumatic stress reactions.
When Lu Linglong was one year old, she witnessed her mother being killed and lying in a pool of blood, which was undoubtedly the direct cause of her suffering from this disease.
It is precisely because of this mental disorder that Lu Linglong can't help but show a strong tendency to self-destruct.
"Haha, by the way, I almost forgot. Since you are a descendant of the Hua family, you should naturally be a doctor. Since you are a doctor, I would like to ask you, what do you think about Linglong's illness?
Is it a good idea?"
Hua Sheng slowly shook his head.
"Honestly, I am not boasting. Nowadays, most physical illnesses can be cured by me, but when it comes to the spiritual realm, I really have no way of starting.
But please rest assured, senior, since I am a doctor, I will definitely spend the rest of my life helping Linglong cure this disease!"
The old man sighed slowly and looked in the direction of the door. He knew that the girl must be lying at the door and eavesdropping on what they were saying.
"Well, since you understand these things, I won't say anything more. I don't need to explain what needs to be explained. You young people can take your time to do the rest..."
After saying that, the old man slowly closed his eyes.
"Thank you, senior." Hua Sheng saluted with clasped fists.
