The next day is the day to descend the mountain. Gu Xuanyan has a very high reputation in the sect, and his brothers came to see him off in front of the mountain gate early in the morning. A group of people chatted around him to let him take care of his body and return early, without looking at Zhong Yan aside, Zhong Yan had to be a background board, quietly and silently.
Gu Xuanyan was in the crowd with no impatience on his face. After saying goodbye to everyone, he turned his head and said to Zhong Yan, who was beside him: "Senior brother, let's go."
Bukong Temple is located in Bukong Mountain in the East China Sea, and the journey is far away. The two walked one after the other with their swords in hand. They arrived after more than half a day. The monks in charge of the reception at the Chanyuan had already been waiting by the seaside. When they saw them coming, they folded their hands and chanted the Buddha's name.
"Amitabha."
Gu Xuanyan returned the salute and said: "I heard that Master Shiyin has peeked into Buddhism, Qingyan Gu Xuanyan and Qin Mingxi have come to congratulate him on the order of the head."
Fang Fang bowed his head and said, "Disciple Shan Xun. Gu Shizhu, Qin Shizhu has come from a long way. It's been hard work all the way. Please follow me to the meditation room to rest."
Zhong Yan and Gu Xuanyan followed Shanxun all the way to the temple. The temple was built by the sea. Usually, there were only monks cultivating on the island. Gu Xuanyan said: "Dare to ask the master, which cultivators have come to the ceremony?"
The other party thought for a moment and replied: "Buddhist cultivator from Guanyun Temple, demon cultivator from Fuling Mountain, martial cultivator from Dajing, magic cultivator from Beihuang, Taoist cultivator from Qi Bi and Hengyun, and then there are the two benefactors of Qingyan. "
Zhong Yan couldn't help but wonder, "Is there still a demon cultivator?"
Shan Xun replied: "There is no distinction between cultivators. As long as the heart has good thoughts, why should they be attached to the form of the flesh/body?"
Zhong Yan blushed, and Gu Xuanyan made a warm relief: "What the venerable said is. This is the first time my senior brother went down the mountain, and he has never seen a demon cultivator. It's a bit novel, and it's not malicious."
Zhong Yan breathed a sigh of relief and silently thanked Gu Xuanyan: It would be great if you had been so pure. As a result, the next second, Gu Xuanyan said again: "I don't know which cultivator Xi Bi and Hengyun sent? They are both Taoist cultivators, and Li should visit them."
"This is nature - the one who came to congratulate Qibi Mountain is the benefactor of Youzheng, and the one who came to Hengyun is the benefactor of Chunqin."
Zhong Yan's heart sank.
He didn't know who You Zheng was, and he didn't write it down in the book, so it probably wasn't an important role. But Chunqin was Hengyun's elder, another chief envoy of Gu Xuanyan's family extermination, and the second person Gu Xuanyan killed. Li Yunji was dying and Gu Xuanyan asked all the enemies who killed the family from his mouth. He dared to kill his master directly in the sect. If there is a chance this time, he will never let Chunqin go.
Thinking of this, Zhong Yan raised his head and glanced at Gu Xuanyan, but the other party still smiled and thanked him softly.
The room between Zhong Yan and Gu Xuanyan was separated by a wall. Zhong Yan entered the room and hurriedly asked the system, "Isn't it different for Gu Xuanyan's revenge for destroying the family and his indiscriminate murder?"
The system calmly said: "Our rule is that Gu Xuanyan can no longer kill people. No matter who the other party is, you will be deducted 20 points for one kill, and the total score is 100."
Zhong Yan: "After the deduction? I'll go back?"
System: "End with your line agent."
Zhong Yan: "..."
The system comforted again: "Just think about the time you passed through, there is no need to deduct points for Li Yunji's death."
Zhong Yan rolled twice on the bed, hammered the pillow again, and finally accepted the reality: "I remember in the book that he killed Chun Qin on the eve of the ceremony - but in the book he saw Chun by chance in the Chanyuan. Qin, without him asking Shanxun this part, so I'm not sure if it will go according to the original plot."
Zhong Yan frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "It doesn't matter, anyway, just watch him and don't let him have a chance to find Chunqin."
Zhong Yan made up his mind, jumped out of bed and knocked on the door next door. When Gu Xuanyan opened the door and saw Zhong Yan, he raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Senior brother, is something wrong?"
Zhong Yan smiled and said, "I'm really bored to be alone, so I came to see Junior Brother Gu to stay for a while."
"Really?" Gu Xuanyan said: "I thought Brother Qin didn't want to stay with me."
Zhong Yan couldn't understand the deep meaning of Gu Xuanyan's words, and said with a dry smile: "How can it be, I really want to get close to Junior Brother Gu."
This sentence did not know where to please Gu Xuanyan, he chuckled lightly and turned sideways: "Come in, senior brother."
Zhong Yan entered the room. Although the meditation room was not small, the layout was simple. There was only a bed and a set of table and chairs, and the middle was separated by a screen. Zhong Yan took a seat at the table, and Gu Xuanyan poured him another cup of tea: "The Arhat tea in Bukong Zen Temple has always been a must, senior brother try it."
Zhong Yan took a sip and quickly flattered: "It's really good."
Gu Xuanyan asked back: "Oh, where is it good?"
... There is also a test in the classroom. Zhong Yan, a dead man who grew up drinking Coke, can only bite the bullet and say: "It's a little sweet... Oh, it seems to have a little taste of bamboo."
Gu Xuanyan was stunned when he heard the words: "There is no green bamboo in the Arhat tea." Then he seemed to remember something, and smiled: "But it is cold and humid in Qingyan Mountain, I am used to incense the incense of green bamboo in the room to get rid of the dampness. It smelled a bit. Senior brother smelled probably the incense on my clothes."
Gu Xuanyan said slowly, "Could it be that Senior Brother has not smelled it before?"
... Are you waiting for me here? Zhong Yan scolded the mother in his heart, and said suddenly: "So it is." After speaking, he looked at Gu Xuanyan with embarrassment: "It's the first time I smell it, it smells so good. "
Gu Xuanyan and him looked at each other for a moment, then looked away first: "Brother, if you like it, I'll give you some when you return to Qingyan. Later, I'm going to visit the seniors of Qi Bi and Hengyun, brother—"
Zhong Yan hurriedly said, "I'll go with you!"
Liang Zheng from Qi Bilai lives in the Chanyuan opposite them, and is also a disciple in the sect. He is much older than them, but he looks a little shy. You are Gu Xuanyan." After speaking, he explained embarrassedly: "I heard that Qingyan's chief disciple, Gu Xuanyan, was young and promising. At the age of eighteen, he has entered the Golden Core Stage, and today he finally saw the real person."
Gu Xuanyan said: "It's a shame. Xi Bi has always been a talented person, and it's better to see it once you hear it."
Zhong Yan was as safe as a chicken by the side, thinking that people who cultivate immortals are also so hypocritical, an old voice suddenly sounded: "What's the noise?!"
The three of them turned back together. It was the room next to Liang Zheng who opened the door. An old man with white beard and hair walked out of the door with an impatient expression and a voice like a bell: "What are you arguing about here?!"
Liang Zheng bowed first and said quickly, "Senior Chun."
Zhong Yan immediately understood the identity of the person in front of him, and sure enough, Liang Zheng introduced the next moment: "This is Hengyun's senior Chunqin—these two are Qingyan's junior brother Gu Xuanyan and junior brother Qin Mingxi."
Zhong Yan lamented in his heart, and hurriedly leaned towards Gu Xuanyan, fearing that Gu Xuanyan would not be able to restrain himself from killing the enemy on the spot. Gu Xuanyan glanced at him and continued to look at Chunqin.
"Gu Xuanyan in Xiaqingyan, I met Senior Qin."
Zhong Yan followed Li, Chun Qin glanced at the two of them, his eyes first paused on Zhong Yan, and sneered: "Now even the disciples of the contemplative stage dare to come out and show shame, if I were my disciple, I would have been kicked out long ago. go out."
Zhong Yan's face was expressionless, just pretending that what the other party said was not himself. Chunqin went to see Gu Xuanyan again, frowned for a moment, jealousy flashed in his eyes. After a long while, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Okay, okay, it's really terrifying to be in the early stages of Jindan at such a young age."
The wording of these words was quite appropriate, but they were just gnashing their teeth, and the hatred almost came out of the words, Zhong Yan was a little shocked to hear it. But Gu Xuanyan didn't seem to be able to hear his tone, showing a gentle smile: "I still need Senior Chun's advice."
Chunqin has already entered his sixtieth year, and he still stays in the late stage of Jindan. He hasn't entered Theravada for a long time. When he sees Gu Xuanyan, he is naturally jealous. Fortunately, he doesn't know Gu Xuanyan's identity, and he has some scruples in the Zen courtyard. With a sneer, he entered the room again, and closed the door heavily.
Liang Zheng on the side seemed to be relieved, smiled bitterly and comforted Gu Xuanyan and Zhong Yan in a low voice: "Don't mind the two of you, Senior Chunqin has a bad temper. After staying in this meditation room for two days, he has offended most of the practitioners. I visited him when I first came, and his attitude was even worse than that—it's also because I'm not good at dealing with people. It should have been Junior Brother Changyun this time, but suddenly something happened—"
Zhong Yan's heart moved when he heard the words, and he quickly interrupted him: "Changyun? Is that Ji Changyun?"
Liang Zheng was stunned and said, "Exactly. Junior Brother Qin knows Junior Brother Ji?"
I know more than that, I know it too well! This is the protagonist! !
Zhong Yan has been here for so long, except that Gu Xuanyan has been in contact with the little dragon tricks in the previous books, or simply the same new characters as him, and a series of changes that are inconsistent with the original books. At this time, I heard the protagonist's name by chance, and finally got a real feeling that I was in the same world as the people in the book. I was about to burst into tears, grabbed Liang Zheng's hand, and for a long while said, "You Junior Brother Ji Are you ok?"
Liang Zheng stammered: "Okay, very good. Junior Brother Qin and Junior Brother Ji are familiar?"
It was only now that Zhong Yan realized that he was too excited, he quickly retracted his hand and said, "No, I just heard that Qi Bi Ji Changyun has achieved little, and I have always admired it."
After listening to Liang Zheng, he also said with pride: "No wonder, our junior brother Ji is very talented, righteous, and has always been praised by others—"
Gu Xuanyan suddenly said: "Senior brother, it's time to go back to the room, it's time for the monks of the Zen Temple to deliver fast food."
Zhong Yan originally wanted to ask where Ji Changyun is now, but after hearing this, he had to say goodbye to Liang Zheng first, and when he returned to the place where he lived, Zhong Yan shamelessly entered Gu Xuanyan's room. Gu Xuanyan didn't stop him, he just closed the door and said, "Senior brother has lived in Qingyan for a long time, but he still knows people from other sects."
Zhong Yan only hated that he had gotten carried away just now, so he tried to explain: "Uh... I just heard the name of Ji Changyun from the mouths of my junior brother and junior sister. I thought that he should be a good person to be praised by so many people, so I asked him out of curiosity."
Gu Xuanyan nodded, unable to see his anger and anger, and suddenly asked, "What about me?"
"what?"
Gu Xuanyan said: "I have always been praised by others, but what kind of person do you think I am?"
… I think you are sick.
Zhong Yan was a little speechless, and said, "Junior Brother Gu has a deep cultivation base and a dignified appearance, er, he is a dragon and a phoenix among people."
"Gone?"
"Gone."
Gu Xuanyan suddenly lowered his tone: "Senior brother really knows how to talk."
... You even show me your face when you can talk, Zhong Yan felt that Gu Xuanyan was really sick, but he had to coax him, and after thinking about it, he added: "In my heart, Junior Brother Gu is of course the best. "
As soon as these words came out, Gu Xuanyan's expression softened.
Zhong Yan couldn't figure it out, but felt that Gu Xuanyan was talented and arrogant. He probably couldn't stand people complimenting others in front of him.
Tsk tsk, how can you be so stingy as a villain.
Gu Xuanyan still didn't know that Zhong Yan's own image was narrow-minded and caring. When it got dark, Gu Xuanyan lit the lamp and asked, "Senior brother, aren't you going to go back to rest?"
Zhong Yan immediately shook out the prepared lines: "Junior Brother, there are so many complicated people here, and my cultivation is low. In case that villain really hangs out in the Zen courtyard and wants to kill someone in the middle of the night, I don't think I can call for help. Why don't I How about a squeeze right here?"
Gu Xuanyan was startled, and before he could answer, the system started making a fuss: "Aren't you afraid that he will give you a sword in the middle of the night?"
Zhong Yan angrily replied in his heart, "I'm afraid, but before I left, Gu Xuanyan said in front of several elders that he would protect me, so I couldn't die as soon as I arrived at the Chanyuan, right? Besides, he is better than me. I think I want Chunqin's life more, I think I can still get a reprieve."
"..." The system was speechless for a while, then said, "You're in such a good mood."
Zhong Yan just wanted to answer me that it was a broken jar, Gu Xuanyan said first: "Okay, then you will be wronged senior brother."
Although Zhong Yan understood it clearly, he was still a little scared. After climbing into the bed, he said cautiously, "Junior Brother, you must keep me safe."
Gu Xuanyan chuckled lightly and blew the lamp. In the next second, the room fell into darkness, and only Gu Xuanyan's voice could be heard, like ice falling on a jade plate, extremely cold.
"Of course, brother."
Zhong Yan immediately regretted it, and said that if he didn't deduct 20 points, it would be safer for me to go back, but Gu Xuanyan had already gone to bed, pulled the quilt and whispered, "Senior brother, go to sleep."
Zhong Yan had to lie down, and after waiting for a while, Zhong Yan felt that Gu Xuanyan should have fallen asleep, and his heart was relieved again, and finally fell asleep little by little.
When the people around him calmed down, Gu Xuanyan opened his eyes and turned to look at Zhong Yan.
The moonlight came in from the window, illuminating Zhong Yan's face a little too pale. Gu Xuanyan looked at the sleeping person for a while, then stretched out his right hand and clasped Zhong Yan's neck.
With just a little force, Gu Xuanyan could strangle Zhong Yan directly in his dream.
But in the end, his index finger lightly tapped twice on the blue blood vessel, and after a while, he released his hand.
The next morning when Zhong Yan woke up, Gu Xuanyan was not there, he quickly looked out, and the shadow of the screen showed Gu Xuanyan's figure. Zhong Yan breathed a sigh of relief, got up and put on his clothes. Gu Xuanyan was washing up. When he saw him coming out, he poured him a glass of salt water to rinse his mouth, and then handed the twisted hijab to Zhong Yan.
"Senior brother, wipe your face."
Zhong Yan obediently wiped his face, secretly sighing with the system: Oh, Gu Xuanyan looks really gentle like this.
Last night, I saw the system where Zhong Yan was almost strangled by this gentleman: "..."
Forget it, stupid people have stupid blessings.
After the two of them had breakfast, the bell rang not far away, and the ceremony was about to begin.
Dao Xiu and Wu Xiu rely on talent and diligence to break through little by little and enter different realms in their daily practice. In demon cultivation, those who follow the right path rely on normal cultivation, while those who follow the crooked path rely on murder to steal other people's cultivation. In addition to normal practice, Buddhist cultivation relies more on a momentary epiphany to achieve greatness. Some people have been practicing hard for many years, but they can't solve it, and they become Buddhas in an instant. This time, Master Shiyin practiced for 112 years, and finally achieved an epiphany and entered the lotus platform.
The ceremony was set up outside the Arhat Hall, and Master Shiyin sat on the central lotus platform to lecture on Zen. There were 1,800 monks under the lotus platform chanting the scriptures. The cultivators who came to congratulate all sat down to observe the ceremony.
The ceremony lasted from sunrise to sunset, and most practitioners had to stay overnight. Zhong Yan and Gu Xuanyan sat in the seat together and listened to the monk's sermon. Gu Xuanyan looked very serious, Zhong Yan was paddling the water and wandering the sky, thinking whether it would make sense to use the same reason to rub the bed with Gu Xuanyan tonight.
When the ceremony was over and everyone left the table, Zhong Yan and Gu Xuanyan were about to go to the meditation room when suddenly someone behind him said loudly: "Is Qingyan Mountain Gu Xuanyan in front?"
The voice of this question was not loud, but the tone contained sarcasm, and the people around looked at him for a while. Zhong Yan and Gu Xuanyan turned their heads and saw a man in his thirties, wearing black clothes and black robes, looking extremely thin, with a red mark on his forehead, looking at them both.
Gu Xuanyan nodded and said, "Dare to ask any advice?"
The other side was pale, but his eyes were very bright, and he heard the words with a smile but not a smile: "I don't dare. I heard that Qingyan's Gu Xuanyan is talented, young and promising. He is cultivating peace under the devil. Today, I specially want to ask for some advice."
Gu Xuanyan chuckled and said, "Thank you for your love, senior. It's just that I'm afraid I shouldn't do it today."
Zhu Ping bowed his body and sneered: "Why not, are you afraid?"
Zhong Yan couldn't help but say, "Because today is someone else's congratulatory code—are you here to congratulate or to spoil the scene?"
There was laughter all around for a while, and the planes couldn't hang up, so he quickly glanced to the left. Zhong Yan followed and looked over, Chunqin was standing in the crowd from a distance, as if it had nothing to do with him, but he was determined to win.
Zhong Yan immediately understood something, but before he had time to think about it, he saw Zhu Ping slapped Zhong Yan with a palm, and said angrily, "I'm talking to Gu, what kind of thing are you!"
The speed of that palm was extremely fast, and Zhong Yan was caught off guard. He instinctively took a few steps back, but the other party was already in front of him in an instant.
Rely on to die! !
At this moment, a sword suddenly came to block Zhong Yan's chest and caught Zhu Ping's palm!
The sword had not yet been unsheathed, but it was already buzzing, and Zhu Ping was also shocked to retreat two steps. Zhong Yan turned his head to look, Gu Xuanyan's face was calm, and he said coldly: "In this case, I would like to ask the seniors for more advice."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xuanyan drew his sword out of the scabbard and stabbed at Zhuping Mingmen!
This sword was extremely fast, and in the eyes of others there was only a sword light, but Zhu Ping felt the strong killing intent contained in it. He was startled and flashed to the left, Gu Xuanyan sneered, and slid his backhand sword towards the opponent's neck. !
The sword stance was extremely ferocious, and Zhu Ping had no way to retreat. He gritted his teeth and raised his hand and slapped Gu Xuanyan on the chest, trying to force Gu Xuanyan to retreat, so that he could breathe for a moment.
Who would have thought that Gu Xuanyan did not take a step back, but took the palm abruptly, and then pierced Zhu Ping's left shoulder with a sword!
So far, the outcome has been decided.
Gu Xuanyan retracted his sword, his tone was calm and unwavering.
"excuse me."
This battle was originally provoked by Zhu Ping, and there is nothing to say if he loses at this time. He covered the wound in embarrassment and was helped back to the meditation room for healing.
Zhong Yan hurried over to read Gu Xuanyan from beginning to end: "Are you all right?"
Gu Xuanyan shook his head to indicate that he was okay, Zhong Yan was relieved and said, "Then I will help you go back to your room to rest."
Gu Xuanyan said: "Brother, wait for me for a while, I will go to say goodbye to the chairperson of the Chanyuan, and we will go back to Qingyan tonight."
Zhong Yan was taken aback: "Are you going now?"
Gu Xuanyan said softly: "The ceremony is over. Since Senior Brother has not found the villain who killed Master, there is no need to stay. We are in the limelight today, and it may be useless to stay any longer."
"..." Zhong Yan has become accustomed to Gu Xuanyan's proficient acting skills, not to mention that the provocation of the magic cultivator just now is very likely to come from Chunqin. Although his purpose is to let Gu Xuanyan not kill Chunqin, he does not want to let Gu Xuan Yan died, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
The two said goodbye to all the monks and cultivators in the Chanyuan, and even Liang Zheng and Zhong Yan went down with Gu Xuanyan's tacit approval. Liang Zheng looked regretful and told Zhong Yan to go to Qi Bi to play with him when he had time. After such a circle, the sky was already dark, and the two finally Yujian walked in the direction of Qingyan.
Zhong Yan followed behind Gu Xuanyan and talked to the system.
"Gu Xuanyan just left like this? Does he think I've been following him and he can't do anything?"
"Maybe."
"Is my mission accomplished?"
"Maybe."
"I always feel that things are a little too smooth, and I'm a little panicked. He won't take revenge on me because he can't get revenge, will he?"
"Maybe-"
Zhong Yan said angrily, "Can your organization complain? I think you are perfunctory to the host!"
Before the system could speak, Gu Xuanyan in front of him suddenly swayed and fell directly from the sword!
Zhong Yan was taken aback and quickly followed, but fortunately, Gu Xuanyan used his spiritual power to stabilize his feet when he landed, but only staggered a few steps. Zhong Yan hurried up to support him as soon as he landed.
"What happened?"
Gu Xuanyan coughed twice, his voice hoarse: "Or received a palm during the test today, and the spiritual power is unstable."
Then you acted like nothing was wrong just now, and Zhong Yan stammered, "Then what should we do then?"
Gu Xuanyan glanced at him when he heard the words, and smiled softly: "Senior brother, don't be afraid, just find a place for me to rest for a while."
The place where the two landed was a dense forest, inaccessible. Zhong Yan looked around and had to quickly help the person under the tree. "Let's stay here for a while."
Gu Xuanyan leaned against the tree, closed his eyes and frowned, coughing twice from time to time, and it took a long time before he opened his eyes, and his tone was apologetic.
"Senior brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave."
The night is dark and windy, and the wilderness is desolate. It is a good place to kill people. Zhong Yan was suddenly alert and asked the system, "Isn't he trying to kill me now?"
Gu Xuanyan then said warmly: "Senior brother, let's go back first."
It's so sweet, I misunderstood you. Zhong Yan almost cried with joy, "Then I'll go first, take care of yourself" almost blurted out, the system said coldly, "Stay."
Zhong Yan: "?? Are you alright?"
The system's tone was heavy: "Trust me, you are 80% fine if you stay. If you really leave, Gu Xuanyan will definitely kill you on the spot."
Zhong Yan immediately changed his tune and said with kindness: "Don't say it, junior brother, I will not leave you alone."
Sure enough, Gu Xuanyan was not surprised when he heard the words, but he bent the corners of his mouth in satisfaction and said, "Then please let my senior brother stay with me for the night. When I adjust my breath tomorrow morning, let's go back to the sect."
... It's really hard to deal with villains, and I'm so tired.
The system snorted: "Are you still complaining about me now?"
Zhong Yan was able to bend and stretch, and quickly said: "No, no, I will write you a five-hundred-word praise."
The two found a rock that could shelter from the wind, Zhong Yan found some branches and dead leaves to make a fire, and Gu Xuanyan set up a barrier to prevent wild animals, and the two barely fell asleep.
Zhong Yan felt that he hadn't slept for a long time, when he heard Gu Xuanyan whispering in his ear: "Senior brother, wake up."
Zhong Yan reluctantly opened his eyes, the sky was already bright, Gu Xuanyan was beside him, and there was blood on his clothes.
Zhong Yan immediately woke up, and quickly turned over and sat up: "What's going on?"
Gu Xuanyan smiled bitterly and said: "That palm is really powerful. I adjusted my breath all night, but it became more serious and coughed up blood."
After speaking, Gu Xuanyan paused and said, "There is even worse news, do you want to hear it, brother?"
Zhong Yan: "...you're still in the mood to joke at this time!"
Gu Xuanyan shrugged: "My spiritual power is really fluctuating so much that I can't maintain the enchantment. Something seems to be coming over with the smell of blood."
Just as Zhong Yan was about to ask something, a deafening long howl suddenly sounded not far away! After the sound, the ground trembled slightly.
Gu Xuanyan whispered: "Come on."
[I want to go out to play in the afternoon, start first. Do you think that Junior Brother did not strangle Zhong Yan because he was soft-hearted? You are too naive~ Now he is still in the stage of planning how to kill Zhong Yan. (Zhong Yan: Facing life with a smile)
The new station is updated synchronously, can you give me a collection if it is convenient (humbly)]
