Crowned with Pearls

Chapter 639: Thirty-eight. Heavenly Master

Views:

People feel happy when they are happy. The wedding is just around the corner. Wang Yuerong is different from ordinary brides. She knows what her husband looks like, so she is less nervous and more expectant about the future.

Whether it is Xie Mujun or Su An, they are not considered to be good people in the true sense. Wang Yuerong is a person with his own opinions, and he clearly distinguishes between what he likes and dislikes.

She stood on the hillside, looking at the spreading red plum forest below, with a smile full of joy on her face: "Yaoyao, I'm waiting for your brother to come back and get married, I'm not afraid."

Su Rong received an assignment to go to Yunnan to quell the rebellion, and he would have to go there after the New Year, so the wedding would have to be postponed. Su Yao couldn't help laughing when he heard Wang Yuerong say this: "No one said you were afraid, it seems that you are still not confident about my brother?"

Wang Yuerong turned around and glared at her: "Who said I'm worried? I have nothing to worry about. Anyway, the wedding date is only postponed for a few months. What's a few months?"

This is what the two elders were talking about today.

Su Yao thought about it, and just as he was about to speak, his eyes lit up, and he sighed softly: "Then aren't you afraid that good things will take time, or that my brother ran away with someone else in Yunnan?"

"You're getting more and more outrageous." Wang Yuerong laughed and retorted, "He won't do that. He's not that kind of person. No matter what time it is, I believe he will never do anything to let me down."

"yes."

Just as Wang Yuerong finished her words, Su Rong's voice rang out behind her.

Wang Yuerong screamed and took a few steps back in fright. She turned around and saw Su Rong coming up the slope, obviously confirming what she said just now.

Wang Yuerong was a little embarrassed to be caught saying nice things to him, but she felt sweet when she heard his affirmation. She couldn't help blushing and changing the subject: "Why are you here at this time?"

Su Rong walked up to her and saw her blushing as she stood on tiptoe under the plum tree, trying to reach for a branch, but for some reason she couldn't reach it. So he reached out to the branch above her head and asked her softly, "Is it this one?"

As they got closer, the hot breath he exhaled sprayed on the back of her neck, making her ears turn red. Wang Yuerong coughed and nodded hurriedly.

Su Rong plucked the plum branch with a click and handed it to her. Then he turned to look at Su Yao who was pretending not to see him and said, "I came up here to look for Yaoyao. Taoist Xuanyuan is back and wants to see you."

Su Yao blinked in surprise. She knew Taoist Xuanyuan. In his previous life, this Taoist was a favorite of King Zhuang. After King Zhuang ascended the throne, he specially appointed him as the national teacher.

But such a person naturally had nothing to do with her. When she set the trap in Baihe Temple in this life, she did think about looking for Xuanyuan, but the Taoist priest in the temple said that he had been traveling far away and had not returned.

Someone she had never met before said he wanted to see her. She pondered for a moment before going to the side hall of the Sanqing Hall in Baihe Temple to keep the appointment.

The side hall of the Sanqing Temple was empty. It was built against the mountain wall. One wall was completely the mountain wall, and the other three sides were all built with high doors. At this moment, the three doors of the hall were open, and outside there were waves of pine trees. The scenery changed with every step. Su Yao walked in it, as if she was walking on the sea of clouds. She looked at a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe who was standing with his back to her in front of the last door, and she stopped and did not move again.

Xuan Yuan seemed to have eyes on his back. When she stopped, he turned around with a smile and looked Su Yao up and down. The smile on his face deepened: "So you are Su Yao, Miss Su, you really look like a lucky person."

The Sanqing Temple was built on stone piers and was located on the top of a mountain. Su Yao was in the side hall of the Sanqing Temple at the moment and could see the clouds being blown by the wind past his feet.

It feels like being in heaven.

She sighed softly in her heart, and naturally looked at Taoist Xuanyuan with doubt: "Master, you and I are strangers, but you want to see me. I wonder what you can teach me?"

The Great Zhou Dynasty worships Taoism, and any Taoist priest with some ability will have some status.

Just like Longhu Mountain, as long as the name is mentioned, countless dignitaries will come to worship.

So when Taoist Priest Xuanyuan asked Old Lady Su and Su Rong to meet Su Yao, they did not find it strange and allowed her to come.

Taoist Priest Xuanyuan pointed to the stone table beside him and motioned for Su Yao to sit down. He also sat down opposite Su Yao, reached out to pick up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Su Yao. Then he said, "It's not a matter of teaching. It's just that Miss Su Si is famous and happened to be here again. I am a little curious, so I want to meet her."

If you say this to others, perhaps only a child of a few years old will believe it.

Su Yao tapped the table with his fingers, holding the teacup and waiting for Xuan Yuan to speak.

It was Xuan Yuan who wanted to see her. If he let her come, unless he was so bored that he just wanted to watch, otherwise, there would always be clues about what he was going to do.

As expected, Xuan Yuan thought for a moment and then looked at Su Yao: "Miss Su Si, I have a favor to ask you for help."

Su Yao raised his head and looked at him calmly: "Master, you are a Taoist with great accomplishments and a great reputation. I wonder how I can help you?"

"Miss, you really think too highly of me." Xuan Yuan didn't care and chuckled, "Only Miss can help me with this matter. I wonder if you have heard of the name Zhang Qingyuan?"

Taoist Priest Qingyuan

Xiao Heng's master.

Didn’t he go back to Longhu Mountain

Su Yao stared at Xuanyuan sharply: "Is there something wrong with Taoist Qingyuan?"

"Yes, there are some things." Xuan Yuan did not deny it, and sighed lightly: "He used to be an orthodox Taoist, and was also recognized as the next generation of Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, but later...something happened, so his identity was no longer recognized by Taoism. He stole the treasures belonging to the Heavenly Masters of all generations in Mount Longhu and ran away. Later, it was discovered that he was hiding his identity and staying with the eldest grandson of the emperor. That was fine, everyone was happy that he returned to Mount Longhu. But...his temperament changed drastically after returning to the mountain, he repeatedly violated the rules, and even injured more than a dozen fellow disciples in a competition, and ran away with the treasures, and...he also killed his master..."

Su Yao opened his eyes wide, not knowing how to react.

Zhang Qingyuan was the legitimate son of Zhang Tianshi, so it was only natural for him to inherit the position of Tianshi of Longhu Mountain. After what happened to Xiao Heng's life experience, it was even more natural for him to go back.

Unless he is crazy, how could he do such a thing

Su Yao's first reaction was that there was something fishy about this matter.

In other words, this matter is clearly aimed at the person behind Zhang Qingyuan. Is there any need to say who the person behind him is
