This was the first time Ye Su came back after leaving Yuanzong. Although it was only about half a year, to Ye Su, it seemed like they had been apart for a long time.
So much so that before returning to Yuanzong, Ye Su actually had some thoughts of leaving home.
After all, not counting the thousand years of sleeping, his actual mental age is still only about twenty years old.
And he was taken to the mountain gate by his master at a very young age, and his whole life experience was extremely simple.
After sleeping for thousands of years, when he woke up, he found that the whole world had become extremely strange. Except for the sect, there was nothing in this world that he was familiar with.
This can be almost a fatal blow to anyone.
If Ye Su was not a Taoist and did not have a firm Taoist heart, he might have fallen into collapse because he could not accept this reality.
But even if he is forced to choose to adapt, and does not behave much differently, deep down, he still feels extremely lonely.
This feeling of loneliness will make him even more homesick, missing Yuan Zong, the only place he is familiar with.
Being led by the God of Cookery all the way up from the foot of Tianbao Snow Mountain, he soon arrived at the mountain gate of Yuan Zong. Then Ye Su saw Wu Chenzi, Yao Yuanzi and the most mysterious Emperor Wu among the five elders who rarely appeared.
, led by Yan Lanzi, were already waiting at the gate of the mountain gate.
When Ye Su's feet landed on the ground and he stood firmly, the God of Cookery left behind Ye Su and stood behind Yan Lanzi. Then the five elders of Yuan Zong saluted again at the same time.
"Yan Lanzi and his fellow juniors respectfully welcome our great uncle back to the mountain."
"Get up quickly. We are the only ones in Yuan Zong. How can we have so many rules?"
Ye Su held back the tears that were about to flow out and said with a smile.
"That's not okay. Rules are rules. Even if there are only two people, we must abide by the rules. Without rules, there is no circle, and the same is true for the sect."
Yan Lanzi shook his head stubbornly and said.
Seeing that several other people had the same attitude, Ye Su could only nod his head and said: "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. I came back this time mainly because I want to celebrate the New Year at home. After the New Year, I will
Continue to join the world."
New Year?
Yan Lanzi was stunned for a moment, and the other people also looked strange.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Su asked strangely.
"Ahem, it's nothing. It's just that we old guys have never celebrated the Chinese New Year, so we don't know much about the Chinese New Year customs outside now."
Yan Lanzi said awkwardly.
"You've never celebrated Chinese New Year?"
Ye Su looked at the five elders of Yuanzong in surprise.
"This... Shanzhong Wujiazi, when I was practicing before, everyone would stay in seclusion for at least three to five years. Usually, even the five of us could get together for very little time, and no one would go there.
Pay attention to the so-called changes of the years. After all, it doesn’t mean much to us. As for the New Year... before we started practicing Taoism, we all paid attention to it, but after cultivating Taoism, we always have to retreat for a long time. If there is no such thing in the sect,
If one or two people don’t retreat, celebrating the New Year will be meaningless.”
Yan Lanzi explained with a wry smile.
"I see, haha, that's just right. Since everyone is here together this year, we will have the most lively New Year!"
Ye Su finished speaking with a smile and immediately began to assign tasks. Yao Yuanzi was assigned to bring back firecrackers, Wuchenzi was assigned to write Spring Festival couplets and make some blessing characters, and Yan Lanzi was assigned to bring back the sect members.
They had to do a good cleaning, while Emperor Wu and the God of Cookery were arranged by Ye Su to make dumplings and stuffings.
After hearing this assignment, Emperor Wu and the God of Cookery had extremely wonderful expressions, while the other three laughed.
…
…
Just as Yuan Zong was happily preparing for the New Year, a rather solemn meeting was going on in the Five Elements Palace.
Led by Wang Buer, the five palace masters of the Five Elements Palace all looked grim.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing, as if even the air was frozen.
After a long time, Sun Muyang, who had the hottest temper, took the lead and couldn't help but said: "Donglian, just to lure that Ye Su into an unknown place, don't you need such a big deal? The younger generation of the monastic world is holding a martial arts conference,
All monastic sects are also invited to participate...Isn't this...a bit too exaggerated?"
Someone started to speak, and the atmosphere relaxed a little from the solemnity just now. Xie Dacheng nodded in agreement and continued: "Yes, Donglian. Can't you just use some reasons to lure him over? You still have to plan this
A competition... Let’s not talk about how difficult it is, and whether Ye Su will participate. I just want to use the location and entry method of the unknown place as the championship reward... just in case Ye Su doesn’t get it.
Champion, aren’t we just working in vain?”
"It's not just about the championship rewards. In addition to the rewards in this unknown place, the championship rewards actually include the Nine Deaths and Rebirth Pills, and there are also different heavy rewards for the runner-up to the tenth place. Adding these things together, our five
The accumulation of palaces is at least one out of ten... Donglian, are you sure you are not joking?"
Sun Muyang continued to ask.
He Donglian did not answer the two people's questions, but just turned to look at Wang Buer and Li Daoxian.
Only then did Sun Muyang and Xie Dacheng realize that Wang Buer and Li Daoxian were still frowning and did not join in the questioning as they asked.
"Senior Brother Fuji, Daoxian, what's wrong with you two... Do you still want to agree with Donglian's opinion?"
Sun Muyang asked in disbelief.
However, what he didn't expect was that Wang Buer and Li Daoxian faced his inquiry and had no intention of answering. Instead, they still sat in their seats and pondered.
"No! Are you all crazy?"
Sun Muyang couldn't help shouting.
He really couldn't understand why Wang Buer and Li Daoxian were so cautious about such a proposal that seemed completely unfeasible to him.
"There was such a tradition of the martial arts conference a long time ago, but in recent years, with the gradual decline of the monastic world, the martial arts conference has not been held for a long time. If I remember correctly, it is held in turn according to the three major sects.
If we hold a martial arts competition this time, it should be hosted by Loulan Temple. Those monks are all the same, as long as we find a suitable reason, they will not refuse. As for the reason...
Let Wan Zhongliu break through the golden elixir as an excuse."
Wang Buer ignored Sun Muyang's reaction and rubbed his chin. After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Li Daoxian: "Daoxian, what do you think?"
"I don't know. My hexagram is blurry. I can only roughly tell that if I propose to hold this martial arts conference, it should be able to trigger changes in the heavenly secrets afterwards. But this change, for our Five Elements Palace,
Whether it's good or bad... we don't know."
Li Daoxian said with some distress.
"Then let's settle it. Change is better than a pool of stagnant water. Let's arrange this matter as soon as possible. I will personally contact the head of Loulan Temple. Yuan Zong was once one of the initiators of the Martial Arts Conference. They
I will definitely participate.”
Wang Buer made the decision.
Sun Muyang still murmured incomprehensibly: "Crazy... you are all crazy..."
"Mu Yang, it's not that we are crazy, it's that time waits for no one. Recently, the Special Operations Department has been like a chicken blood. Our experimental subjects have been discovered and eliminated by them one after another. I can't understand why the people in the Special Operations Department are
How did we achieve such a big improvement in such a short period of time? I only know that if we allow things to develop, all our hard work over the years will be ruined! So we must do something."
Wang Buer said in a deep voice.
"Something happened to the experimental subject again? Why didn't I know?"
Sun Muyang looked stunned.
"You have been in seclusion these days, and these things have happened intensively in the past few days. Except for Experimental Subject No. 1 and Experimental No. 2, all other experimental subjects are gone."
Wang Buer said with a heavy heart.
Sun Muyang's face suddenly turned pale, and then fell into silence.
