Chen Mengyun said: "Master, Elder Lin and the disciples of the master of Duye Temple were all brought back by me, and they are in the living room."
Master Yinghua stretched out his hand for Chen Mengyun's support and stood up: "Okay, follow me. You go to the dining hall and ask someone to arrange food."
Chen Mengyun went to the dining hall, and Master Yinghua came to the hall. Lin Xiaodong, Han Yangzi and others all stood up in a hurry. Lin Xiaodong cupped his hands and said, "Students have met Master Yinghua."
Master Yinghua smiled kindly, walked up, and nodded: "Thank you, Elder Lin, for running around late at night to rescue one of my disciples."
Lin Xiaodong waved his hand: "We are all from the same sect, so we can do it with just a little effort."
Han Yangzi thanked Master Yinghua: "Thank you Master for informing Elder Lin about this matter. Otherwise, I would still be sweeping the floor in the middle of Bai Yue."
Master Yinghua felt strange and asked, "What kind of monster has such power?"
Hanyangzi pointed to the door and said, "It's in the courtyard."
"oh?
I'd like to see."
Master Yinghua came to the courtyard, and Lin Xiaodong and others followed him out.
The crane was walking in the courtyard. It had long legs and long neck, and was elegant and handsome. Master Yinghua fell in love with it when he saw it. He came up and stretched out his hand to touch it.
The crane didn't hide, but instead rubbed its head into Master Yinghua's hand. Master Yinghua turned around and smiled: "Elder Lin has found a good mount."
Lin Xiaodong nodded and said to Xianhe: "This is Master Yinghua, and his cultivation level is also above yours."
The crane nodded slightly after hearing this.
When several people returned to the hall, Master Yinghua said: "You guys haven't had dinner yet. Just wait for a while and it will be ready soon."
Indeed, none of them had eaten yet. After waiting for a while, they went to the dining hall and set up a table, accompanied by Master Yinghua and Chen Mengyun.
During the dinner, Chen Mengyun frequently made secret glances, Lin Xiaodong pretended to be deaf and dumb, and Han Yangzi repeatedly offered wine to express his gratitude until late at night.
Master Yinghua said to Chen Mengyun: "It's getting late. You go and make arrangements. We can stay on the mountain for the night."
Lin Xiaodong wanted to ask Master Yinghua privately about something, so he agreed. Hanyangzi and others also followed Lin Xiaodong to benefit from the honor and became honored guests of Shiyue Temple.
On the morning of the next day, Han Yangzi took his disciples to say goodbye. Lin Xiaodong said to Master Yinghua: "Master, I have many doubts about the matter of fixing Lushan, and I want to ask for advice in private."
Master Yinghua nodded: "I also have something I want to discuss with Elder Lin. Please come with me to the back mountain."
Lin Xiaodong followed Yinghua Zhenren to the back mountain and looked around.
Shiyue Guan is the largest sect of water arts in Shannan Road, and the Baotong Mountain where it is located is naturally extraordinary. The mountain is tall and precipitous, far beyond Pingliang Mountain. The top of the mountain towers into the clouds, and a waterfall falls from the clouds, just like the Milky Way upside down.
Come.
Shiyue Temple is also different from other Taoist temples. It is not built on the top of the mountain, but on the mountainside because the top of the mountain is too steep and the platform on the top is too small.
The waterfall at the top of the mountain fell on the platform halfway up the mountain and formed a pool, which is the back mountain of Shiyue Temple. In the middle of the pool, there is a stone platform the size of a room, which is where Yinghua Zhenren practices.
The waterfall fell, deafening the ears. Master Yinghua was able to practice in such a noisy place, which shows that his concentration skills are far superior to Yu Fengjun's.
Master Yinghua brought Lin Xiaodong to the stone platform and sat down face to face on the stone bench. Lin Xiaodong said: "After I went back, I thought hard and felt that there was something strange about Dinglu Mountain. These two treasures turned out to be different.
coincide."
Master Yinghua nodded: "I also asked Meng Yun to investigate this matter, but no clues were found. The person involved was seriously injured. How did the treasure come from? I can't find out the truth."
Lin Xiaodong said: "Taimeng Mountain near Baotong Mountain has a fire treasure, and Fengshan Mountain near Xianing Mountain has a water treasure. The two treasures have almost the same magic power. Isn't it a coincidence? Already?"
Master Yinghua asked: "Do you think someone is obstructing this and wants to provoke a war between the water and fire factions so that the good fisherman will benefit?"
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "I hope I am overthinking."
Master Yinghua shook his head slightly: "The two factions of water and fire have been grudged for decades. Even if no one interferes, they will fight sooner or later. Master Chongxiang and I are just trying our best to make this time come later."
"I just didn't expect that Song Anfu would appear in our sect, and Shen Miaoru would appear under Master Chongxiang. Master Chongxiang and I were incompetent as disciples and were suspicious of each other, which finally led to such a tragedy."
Master Yinghua couldn't help but feel sad: "In this battle, the two factions of Shannan Dao, Water and Fire, lost almost half of them. Those who survived by chance also lost decades of Taoism. It is equivalent to our Shannan Dao Sect, which has set back decades."
"In the final analysis, when a great calamity comes, if you don't get rid of your evil thoughts and keep your arrogance, no matter how high your cultivation level is, you will inevitably be contaminated by killing and you will not be able to protect yourself.
Master Chongxiang and I have been doing nothing for decades, so we inevitably have a fight, and I myself was seriously injured."
"In my opinion, this is entirely self-inflicted and the consequences are self-inflicted. It doesn't look like someone did it deliberately."
Lin Xiaodong frowned and nodded: "If you look at this incident alone, it does not look like someone is plotting it secretly. However, the student has another thing he wants to tell the real person."
Master Yinghua asked: "What kind of thing?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "This matter is a matter of the Fire Sect, so I guess the real person doesn't know about it.
Our Lingquan sect has always been at odds with the Huoyun sect, and before the incident in Lushan, the leader of the Huoyun sect, Taoist Lanxia, died in my hands."
Master Yinghua nodded and said: "I know that Taoist Lanxia died at your hands, but I have never known the details."
Lin Xiaodong said: "Taoist Lanxia once teamed up with the head of Yun Fengguan to attack the Hidden Moon Sect, but I was repulsed. Not long after, Taoist Lanxia brought his disciples to our Lingquan Sect to take revenge, and their cultivation level increased greatly. But I was still beaten back."
"I wanted to know why Taoist Lanxia's cultivation level increased so much, so I followed him secretly to Yirou Mountain and found that he had raised a Lingxiao vine in the back mountain. The disciples in the sect grew together with the roots of the vine. Suck human blood."
Master Yinghua frowned upon hearing this: "What a sin!"
Lin Xiaodong added: "Taoist Lanxia and his disciples seem to have grown in cultivation by eating the fruits of the Lingxiao vine, but as a result, they have become half-human and half-demon, with blood-red skin, taller bodies, and temperament." He is also more cruel and bloodthirsty."
"Taoist Lanxia and his disciples had a fight over the fruit. The disciple in the sect died in his hands. Taoist Linquan and I took action, and Taoist Lanxia died in my hands."
Master Yinghua said angrily: "Taoist Lanxia has been cultivating for a hundred years, how could he do such a thing to harm his disciples?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "I invited the head of the Bixia Sect in Yiqing Mountain to come and use the Golden Light Vine to kill the Lingxiao Vine and rescue the people. However, both Taoist Lanxia and Zhang Xiangqi died, and other disciples also died. I don’t know the origin of this Lingxiao Vine.”
"I have been confused about this matter for a long time. After I decided on the Lushan incident, I thought about it over and over again, and I became more and more aware that the two incidents were related."
