"You came."
Ning Zhe didn't look back, but he had already sensed the familiar aura.
"What's your answer?" Leng Yueyan got straight to the point.
When Ning Zhe heard this, he turned around and looked at the beautiful lady in gray robes in front of him. I smiled slightly and said, "Let's go see the scenery first."
Leng Yueyan did not object and walked with him in the Munigou Scenic Area. They passed through the waterfall and came to Erdaohai, the heart of the scenic spot.
This is the soul of the entire scenic spot. The lake is calm, serene and magnificent. Even in the mortal world, when you are here, you can feel the aura of heaven and earth blending in with you all the time.
Like Jiuzhaigou Valley, this place is filled with some weak spiritual energy, which is not very useful to the monks. But for mortals, they can also feel the subtlety of that aura.
Along the way, they attracted the attention of countless tourists. A man wearing Buddhist beads and clasping his hands together looks like a Buddhist, but his black hair is like a waterfall.
Behind him, there was a beautiful woman, wearing a gray robe and holding a whisk. That outfit really looks like a Taoist nun who is peaceful and unconcerned with the world.
They didn't speak too much along the way, just walking slowly around Erdaohai, admiring the beautiful scenery of nature. The scenic spot here is famous for its mountain lakes, which are also commonly known as Haizi.
A series of small seas form a colorful lake, in which exotic flowers and plants grow. Just looking at it makes you feel more comfortable.
Walking from Erdaohai to the deepest part of the scenic spot, there is an ancient pine tree. The sulfur-containing hot springs under the ancient pine tree are the most peculiar.
According to legend, the Nine Heavens Fairy boiled pearls and refined springs here to create a bathing pool for curing illnesses. It is also their bathing place. People can strengthen their health after bathing here.
But according to Leng Yueyan's observation, this place only contains a special kind of spiritual power that even mortals can absorb, so some illnesses can be cured after bathing.
This Muni Valley is a rather strange scenic spot even for monks. The reason why this pool has fairy legends is because there are Taoist figures such as Huanglong Zhenren.
There are also some Buddhist allusions here, and there are even temples. It can be said that this is a place where Buddha and Tao coexist.
Finally, the two of them came to a relatively secluded place in the scenic spot, which was not a beautiful place. But it has the greenness of nature and a rare tranquility.
"You walked for half an hour just to bring me here?" Leng Yueyan asked.
"There are few people here. I didn't expect that there would still be so many people during the peak tourist season." Ning Zhe apologized.
"Then what is your answer?" Leng Yue's face was expressionless, not wanting to waste time at all.
Ning Zhe was startled when he heard this, then turned around and frowned: "Yueyan, I'm sorry. The debt I owed you in the last life will be repaid one by one in this life."
"Aren't you willing to give up Buddhism for me?" Leng Yueyan frowned.
She could vaguely tell that the other party was still unwilling to give up his holy life, perhaps just to pay off his debt.
Then she shook her head slowly, smiled indifferently, and said: "After all, you are just trying to repay my debt of love. It's okay, you are just like in the previous life, we owe nothing to each other, and we will meet again when we are destined to meet in the immortal road."
But when Ning Zhe heard this, he shook his head and said, "I want to cultivate Buddhism, but I don't want to give up on you."
"In that case, why not abandon the Buddha? Isn't it enough that you betrayed me in the last life? Am I not enough to make you forget the Buddha?" Leng Yueyan asked again.
"I'm afraid that being sentimental will damage my holy life, and I'm afraid that I'll fall in love with the city by mistake when I go into the mountains. I have both peace and harmony in the world, and I can't live up to the Tathagata and I can't live up to you." Ning Zhe raised his head and sighed.
"What if I say there is no Dharma for both perfections in the world? How do you choose, Buddha or me?" Leng Yueyan frowned and continued to ask.
"I" Ning Zhe also frowned.
He really didn't know how to speak. There were two of them in his heart restraining each other. The other advised him to face it calmly, stay together with Leng Yueyan, and abandon Buddhism.
The other one advised him not to forget the Buddha, but to follow, believe in, and practice Buddhism throughout his life. In Ning Zhe's heart, these two thoughts have disturbed Brahma's heart.
"You still don't want to, go slowly and find your way to achieve both ends. From now on, you and I have no chance. You cultivate your Buddha, and I cultivate mine. See you on the road to becoming an immortal!" Leng Yueyan was angry.
She didn't know what Ning Zhe was thinking. She only knew that the other party's attitude was such that there was no need to say anything. He turned around decisively and left.
But the moment Leng Yueyan turned around, a hurried Ning Zhe grabbed her jade arm and said, "No, I have failed you in my previous life, how can I fail you again in this life?"
"But you still don't want to give up Buddhism." Leng Yueyan turned around.
Ning Zhe shook his head and said, "I finally understand what Brother Bugui told me. Buddha is the Tao, and I will be with you in this life. If my Taoism is wrong, then so be it!"
"I know how to practice Buddhism and follow the Tao. I no longer care about the trivial matters of Buddhist practice. In this life, I just want to see what the results of the causes planted in the previous life are."
Leng Yueyan's delicate body trembled slightly, then she turned around slowly and said, "If you want to do this, I will accompany you. We broke up on bad terms in the last life, so don't leave any regrets in this life."
Ning Zhe nodded and said: "Okay, all the mistakes in the previous life will be made up for in this life. You and I will work together to find the answer to this relationship and resolve the cause and effect of the two lives."
"Before coming here, my master told me about her and about my sect's ancestor. After thinking about it for a while, I came to the conclusion that I should not wait for others. I can't miss it, and I can't wait."
Leng Yueyan added that what she heard before made her deeply touched.
"Yes, love is like an epiphyllum. It buds for thousands of years, blooms for thousands of years, and blooms once for thousands of years. After three thousand years of hard work, it only has a moment of youthfulness, and then it withers sadly." Ning Zhe frowned slightly, shaking his head and sighing.
"You and I have been delayed for thirty thousand years, so we don't have to be confused anymore." Leng Yueyan smiled slightly.
Ning Zhe nodded vigorously and said: "Okay! I looked back thousands of times in my previous life, so I passed by you in this life. Since it is so difficult to see us, we have met again, so we should simply let go of our obsession with Buddhism in this life."
"Throw away all restraints and don't let this love fade away like an epiphyllum."
"Since you have this feeling, I will always be with you. No matter where you are in the world, or on the road to becoming an immortal. In this life, I will accompany you for the rest of your life!" Leng Yueyan's eyes flickered and she smiled softly.
A trace of sadness flashed in Ning Zhe's eyes, and he said: "Yueyan, in the last life you sacrificed your life to help me become an immortal, which was not what I wanted. I regretted it so much that I decided to reincarnate myself."
"If there is still such a choice in this life, then I will only stay for you and not become an immortal!"
"No, in this life, we will become immortals together! The love between Fan Kong and Yuzhu will last forever on us." Leng Yueyan said with a smile.
"Well, I listen to you. Let's go back now. Don't let brother and the others wait too long." Ning Zhe nodded.
"Speaking of which, Brother Bugui also helped us a lot. If he hadn't advised you on my behalf at that time, maybe I would have abandoned you long ago." Leng Yueyan said sarcastically.
Ning Zhe also bowed his head in shame after hearing this and said: "This is also a great kindness, I must repay it well."
"They've been urging us for more than a month. Let's get there earlier." Leng Yueyan smiled lightly.
Then the two rushed to Kunlun Mountain together. They finally untied their knots and decided to face this life bravely. Regardless of the cause and effect, the two of them only know this life and cannot miss it again.
When they arrived at Kunlun Mountain, they saw Yun Jinghong and Leng Shuangrong, sitting opposite each other, drinking tea and discussing Taoism.
"Oh? You are here. Go to Purple Waterfall quickly. I have opened up space for you." Yun Jinghong turned around and smiled.
"It seems that your knot is completely resolved." Leng Shuangrong also put down the tea cup and smiled at the two of them.
"Master, you."
Leng Yueyan was a little confused and looked surprised. The same was true for Ning Zhe beside her, whose expression was exactly the same as his.
"Oh, I think you two look a bit alike! Are you starting to look like a couple now?" Yun Jinghong said with a smile.
"No, no, not at all!" Ning Zhe shook his head immediately.
"Uh-huh!"
But as soon as he finished saying this, Leng Yueyan grabbed his waist with one hand and twisted him around hard. After all, women are born with this talent, and Taoist nuns are not immune to it!
"I was wrong, wrong."
This unforgettable pain made Ning Zhe beg for mercy.
"Let's go."
Leng Yueyan said angrily, then bowed to Leng Shuangrong and the other two, and said: "Master, Senior Yun, this junior has resigned."
"Go." Leng Shuangrong raised the corner of her mouth and gently raised her hand to say goodbye.
Yue Yan glanced at Ning Zhe coldly, then left with a puff of sleeves. He was so anxious that he immediately ran over and admitted his mistake.
When they arrived at Zixiao Continent, they used their spiritual thoughts to find the exact location and flew there, where they saw everyone practicing in a spiritual mountain.
"Ouch? You two are finally here." Zhao Changge turned around and smiled.
"Wait a minute, come together? Oh~~hehe" Yuwu De smiled mischievously again.
"Stop when it suits you. Don't make Senior Xue angry again." Lu Hao reminded from behind.
I saw the two of them turning around at the same time, grinning and saying, "It's okay, he didn't preach, hehe."
"Boom!"
"oops!"
As soon as they finished speaking, even before their begging smiles disappeared, they saw a bloody hand falling from the sky and burying the two of them into the ground.
