Kong Yunzhen was secretly angry, but he didn't dare to say anything. He turned around and left. In a flash, he quickly reached the mountainside and saw Li Chengfeng waiting respectfully on the side of the mountain road.
Kong Yunzhen took a glance and saw Li Chengfeng standing in front of the mountain gate, but he never crossed the steps. He snorted in his heart and gave up the idea of finding trouble.
The mountain gate here is not as majestic and eye-catching as the mountain gates of Lingshan Sect and major Tianges. There is not even a gatekeeper here. Not only is there no gatekeeper, but there is also the gate tower, house number, door plaque, and even the roadside. There are no stone pillars or monuments.
There is only a crooked broken stone in the grass beside it. On the broken stone, there are two words that are very vague and crooked like a child's dog scratching: Ling Yun.
This broken monument is where the gate of Lingyun Cave is located. Anyone who crosses this boundary will be severely punished!
These are the precepts and regulations that every Lingshan disciple must recite after entering the mountain gate. However, the location of this broken monument is not clearly stated, and many disciples do not take it to heart.
It's not that they don't respect the leader in their hearts. On the contrary, it's because they are so in awe of the leader that they never even think about going to Lingyun Cave to disturb the leader's retreat.
So, since I'm not going, I naturally don't care where the broken monument is.
Li Chengfeng was more cautious and carefully avoided this minefield, but he eliminated the possibility of Kong Yunzhen causing trouble for him.
Kong Yunzhen glanced at Li Chengfeng and said angrily: "Come with me!"
Of course, Li Chengfeng knew that Kong Yunzhen wanted to drive him away immediately, so he lowered his head cautiously, said nothing, and carefully followed Kong Yunzhen step by step, not falling too far behind, but not following too close either.
Li Chengfeng kept his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart all the way, observing his surroundings with the corner of his eye. This Lingyun Cave is located in a very remote part of Wentian Peak.
Along the way, the birds were singing, the flowers were fragrant, and the greenery was abundant. It was in sharp contrast with the snow-white world outside, and it was like two worlds.
All the way up the mountain road, Li Chengfeng walked for a while and came to a cliff platform. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, there was a bottomless abyss with broken walls. Lingyun Cave was embedded here. Among the sunken mountain cliffs, the cave is surrounded by scattered green plants and occasionally mottled wild flowers. It does not look like a place where the leader retreats and practices.
Li Chengfeng stepped forward and said: "Disciple Li Chengfeng, please pay homage to the head master!"
Having said that, Li Chengfeng knelt down respectfully to pay homage. If nothing else, just because the boss had made Li Chengfeng the first in this assessment rating against all the opinions, Li Chengfeng should bow to him.
But why did the boss suddenly make him the number one
Li Chengfeng was murmuring in his heart, so he boldly asked for a meeting. Unexpectedly, the boss actually asked him to come up!
But what Li Chengfeng didn't expect was that soon, a figure slowly walked out of the dark cave. Li Chengfeng couldn't see it at first while he was lying on the ground, but he heard Kong Yunzhen's shocked voice say : "Brother, you, you... how did you..."
Li Chengfeng couldn't help but raise his head and take a look, only to see a thin, medium-sized man walking out of the cave. This man had a long face, a goatee, slightly sunken cheeks, and high cheekbones. Protruding, his eyes are thin and long, and his eyes are exquisite. He is wearing the monk's robe of the Lingshan Sect, regardless of the sky. He is a gray robe with extremely long cuffs, but his exposed hands can still be seen.
Li Chengfeng only glanced at him and saw the man looking towards Li Chengfeng. The two looked at each other. Li Chengfeng's heart was suddenly shocked, and then there was a warm current in his heart, asking him to iron the iron. Incessantly.
Ma Qianli looked at Li Chengfeng steadily. After a while, he nodded slightly and said softly: "Get up, it's cold and the ground is cold."
Li Chengfeng stood up. Kong Yunzhen on the side was extremely unhappy, but he still endured it and said in a low voice: "Senior brother, if nothing is wrong, then I will leave first."
Ma Qianli smiled at Kong Yunzhen and said, "Junior brother, wait a minute, I have something to say to you later."
Kong Yunzhen felt warm in his heart and said: "Yes, the junior brother will be waiting for the summons from the head senior brother."
After that, he glanced sideways at Li Chengfeng, his eyes full of warning, signaling Li Chengfeng not to talk nonsense.
Li Chengfeng immediately lowered his eyes without any reaction. After Kong Yunzhen left, he raised his eyes slightly and said boldly: "Disciple thanks the master for his generous help..."
Ma Qianli looked at Li Chengfeng with great interest, smiled slightly, and said, "In your eyes, the Lingshan Sect is a sect that only talks about factional struggles and does not talk about rules and justice?"
This sentence choked Li Chengfeng so much, because Li Chengfeng's own arrival here already showed that this is indeed how he sees it.
If the Lingshan Sect adheres to rules and justice, then why would the leader intercede for him, and how would he go up the mountain to thank him
Fortunately, Li Chengfeng reacted very quickly. He hesitated a little and said: "No matter how bright the sun shines, there are dark corners where it cannot shine. No matter how hot the sun is, there is a time when it goes down the mountain to rest."
Ma Qianli smiled slightly and said: "You are indeed very smart, but Lingshan Sect has never lacked smart people."
Li Chengfeng said obediently: "Thousand-mile horses often exist, but Bole does not always exist."
This sentence was both boastful and elevated Ma Qianli.
Ma Qianli burst out laughing: "Interesting! I haven't met such an interesting young man like you in how many years!"
Li Chengfeng looked at him and he looked like a man in his thirties or forties, but he knew that Ma Qianli had been a member of the Lingshan Sect for more than a hundred years and had been in charge of the Lingshan Sect for sixty or seventy years. At such an age, Even if Li Chengfeng's grandfather comes, he can also pat Li Chengfeng's grandfather on the head and shout: "Kid!"
Li Chengfeng immediately continued: "It's not that the disciples are interesting, but that the realm of the master is vast and vast, like the ocean and the universe, encompassing all things. It is precisely because it is so huge that it seems that the eyes cannot see the details. It is like looking at flowers on a horse, and naturally cannot Taste the taste. But once you stop, with the wise eyes of the head master, you should be able to see the beauty of life in the cracks of the rocks, and the magnificence of life and death in the tombs."
Li Chengfeng's flattery was so good that even Ma Qianli couldn't help laughing after hearing this, stroking his beard and sighing: "It is said that monks are superior to all things, do not take pleasure in things, do not take sorrow in themselves, transcend life and death, and jump out of reincarnation. . But in the end, no one can transcend life and death. Not only can't they transcend life and death, but they can't even transcend joy, anger, sorrow, and vanity desires! Ridiculous, ridiculous!"
Li Chengfeng smiled and said: "Congratulations to the leader, congratulations to the leader!"
Ma Qianqi said: "Oh? Why are you so happy?"
Li Chengfeng had no stage fright. Facing the head of the Lingshan Sect and one of the few great practitioners in the world, he spoke eloquently: "My disciples have heard that there are three realms in life: seeing mountains is a mountain, seeing water is a... Water; seeing a mountain is not a mountain, seeing water is not water; seeing a mountain is still a mountain, seeing water is still water. The master's realm has obviously reached the third level, seeing a mountain is still a mountain, and seeing water is still water. The monks practice and say that it is You have to be transcendent from mortals, but in the end you have to return to mortals. You are transcendent from humans and yet you belong to humans. This is the great realm of the unity of nature and man!"
Ma Qianli's eyes changed when he looked at Li Chengfeng. Before, when he looked at Li Chengfeng, he had the idea that he was a rare commodity, but at this moment, he really felt that the young man in front of him was an extremely rare and amazing talent. !
Li Chengfeng also lowered his head slightly at this time. His flattery was deliberate and sincere, but the most important thing is: the thickest thigh of the Lingshan Sect is right in front of him. If he doesn't hug it now, when will he wait
Even if the head wants to use him, then... it's better than using him alone, right
It's all about use anyway, so why not use Qi and Chu to get the best of both worlds
