The concubine really came to invite Ye Xiaotian by the order of the venerable, Ye Xiaotian followed her on board the boat, came to the foot of the temple again, and walked up the stone steps after landing, the concubine did not lead him into the main hall, but It was leading him around the main hall to the back.
Outside the main hall are rows of huge stone pillars. The stone pillars are full of traces of the vicissitudes of time. Walking at the foot of this magnificent building, people will involuntarily feel their own insignificance. This is probably the original intention of the person who designed this temple. A building is constantly giving hints to people and increasing its majesty.
There is a staircase at the side and rear of the temple. The staircase is also made of stone. It is not wide, and even a little narrow. If there is a need for such a large temple, it is naturally impossible for this place to be built so economically. Then there is only one explanation: There are not many people entering and leaving the temple through here.
The stone steps twist and turn upwards, and each floor has an arched passage leading to the interior of the temple. When Ye Xiaotian walked up the stone steps, he casually glanced into the arched passage, and found that whether it was a vault or a There are a large number of stone carvings on both sides, which alone is an extremely huge project.
Concubine Shen stopped at the entrance of the highest floor, turned around and smiled slightly at Ye Xiaotian. Ye Xiaotian followed her, sniffing the fragrance of musk deer and orchid, watching her delicate and round waist twisting slowly, and the thin crimson skirt on her round buttocks swaying gently, undoubtedly It is a pleasing enjoyment.
When the concubine turned around, Ye Xiaotian's eyes had already moved away, and there was a calm, calm, sincere, and friendly smile on her face, like a gentleman. Concubine Shen smiled at him, and gestured to the arched passage, signaling him to go in by himself, Ye Xiaotian nodded, and walked past her without looking sideways.
The passage is very long, with light penetrating from the outermost edge, it looks very bright, the further you go in, the light gets dimmer, and the stone statues on both sides seem to come to life, watching him condescendingly, making Ye Xiaotian breathe more and more more and more depressing.
As he was walking, Ye Xiaotian suddenly stopped in his tracks and suddenly smiled: "I'm so confused, this should be one of the original intentions of the designer, if someone comes here to meet His Holiness, they will first see such a magnificent temple, and then walk through it like this." Solemn and even somewhat gloomy passage, when he sees the venerable who has been in awe for a long time, he might not be able to say anything out of fear, how could I be affected by this?"
Ye Xiaotian stood quietly on the spot for a while, and finally got rid of the influence of the environment on him completely. Going forward, there are heavy arched wooden doors with a height of three. The doors are closed, and Ye Xiaotian doesn't look much. , He kept walking until he reached the end of the passage, and his eyes brightened again.
Ye Xiaotian has come to the back of the temple, in front of it is a huge sky garden, the garden is built on the roof of the hall below, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, old trees and old vines, and fruit trees with many fruits, and even a fountain The clear spring water spewed into the air, and then poured down on a huge stone sculpture.
Ye Xiaotian felt amazed at first, he wandered around, admiring this fairyland-like place, and then he saw Venerable God Samurai.
A plot of land is full of low plants, with emerald green leaves, and onyx-like fruits on the branches. The Venerable Samurai is bending over to pick one by one, and there is a waiter-like man behind him. The man continued with a bamboo basket.
Ye Xiaotian walked over, and the basket bearer looked back at him when he heard the footsteps. This is a middle-aged man who is nearly forty years old. Judging from his attire, he should be the gardener who tends the garden. His Holiness turned his head and looked When it came to Ye Xiaotian, he walked over with a smile.
He told the gardener: "Take it and wash it." Then he said to Ye Xiaotian: "Come, come and sit."
The Venerable staggered to the edge of the hanging garden, sat down on a bench, patted the seat next to him, and signaled Ye Xiaotian to sit too. Ye Xiaotian was not one of his sincere followers, so he sat down without hesitation, and a smile of appreciation flashed in the eyes of the Venerable.
If Ye Xiaotian treats him with sincerity and sincerity, how can he talk to Ye Xiaotian? He needs an equal to talk to and sadly he's been in this position for so long that he now has everything he wants except no friends, no one to talk to as an equal, and is a loner at the top .
"Your name is Ye Xiaotian, right? Where are you from?"
The Venerable smiled and opened his mouth slightly. After hearing Ye Xiaotian's answer, the Venerable said in a nostalgic tone: "The capital? I have been to that place. When I was young, I traveled all over the world. When I went to the capital, it was exactly Emperor Zhengde is in court, and Emperor Zhengde is a very interesting emperor."
Ye Xiaotian said in surprise: "Your Honor has seen Emperor Zhengde?"
The venerable stroked his beard and smiled, nodded lightly and said: "Well! Emperor Zhengde doesn't like red tape, he doesn't pay attention to the superiority and inferiority of the upper and lower, and the Confucian etiquette and ancestral training system are all bullshit to him. He built a palace called 'Leopard House', the Leopard House not only keeps rare wild animals, but also lamas, monks, warlocks, martial arts masters, advocating artists, as long as there are elders with a skill, they are all inclusive.
At that time, I was traveling around the capital, and I showed off my skills, and was invited into the leopard room by the emperor Zhengde, hehe, the leopard room, the leopard room, the emperor Zhengde himself, is actually that rebellious leopard, and the civil and military forces of the court cannot restrain it He, the Tartars have a headache for him too..."
Talking about his youth, the Venerable smiled, he sighed for a while, and then said to Ye Xiaotian: "By the way, the Western sect you told me last time, they traveled across the sea to the capital to preach? Can you tell me about them?"
Ye Xiaotian naturally knows everything about this, but his knowledge is actually limited. At the beginning, he was purely bored, and he was curious about the foreign devils with yellow hair and blue eyes, so he ran to see the excitement. I really want him to explain in detail In fact, he really didn't know much about the religion of foreign devils.
However, the Venerable listened carefully to the few words he said, or very superficial descriptions, and Ye Xiaotian said blushingly after talking for a while: "I know, actually, that's all."
The venerable nodded and sighed softly: "The world is really big. When I was young, I traveled around the world. I have been to all the places I thought I could go. I never imagined that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are so many places. If I knew it earlier, maybe I'll check it out...”
The Venerable turned to Ye Xiaotian, smiled and said: "Your question is correct, our Gu God Sect and the Western Fans do have a great relationship, maybe there is also a great relationship between the two religions, but unfortunately I don't have time to verify it."
Ye Xiaotian was startled, he thought that his thoughts were concealed very well, and the means of probing were even more ingenious, but he didn't expect that the old man had already seen it. Only then did he realize that the frail old man in front of him was actually a Lord of teaching.
Sister Sun is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who only knows some superficial Gu skills, and she uses such terrifying methods when she strikes. How powerful is this ancestor who plays Gu? I'm afraid there are unpredictable abilities, right
Ye Xiaotian has met many high-ranking officials and nobles, but the old man in front of him has seen more high-ranking officials and nobles, even the emperor. His experience and knowledge come from other people's narration, but this old man has traveled all over the world, playing tricks and tricks in front of this old man, how can he be an opponent
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaotian broke out in cold sweat, the Venerable seemed to see his uneasiness, smiled and said: "Are you scared? Don't worry, the old man will not do anything to you."
The Venerable turned his head and looked into the distance. There was a strange mountain in the distance. The mountain was red, and the vegetation around the mountain was extremely sparse.
The venerable said: "Some people are ambitious, coveting the position of the venerable, colluding in private, colluding with outsiders, and trying to seize the throne. Hehe, in fact, with his ability, since he has this heart, the position of the venerable allows him It doesn't hurt to sit still. But..."
The Venerable's complexion slowly sank: "However, his ambition is not only to be this Venerable, he has a greater purpose. The Gu God Sect has been passed down for nearly 1,500 years, and I have nearly four It's been ten years, I hope it can survive well, and not be used by others, ruining the millennium inheritance!"
Ye Xiaotian was even more startled, he didn't expect this old guy to be clear about the secret collusion between Yang Yinglong and Elder Gegewo, and even... Yang Yinglong wanted to buy him, he must be clear about it, otherwise why would he go with him? Say the words yourself.
Isn't the reason why Yang Yinglong held a banquet on that mountain publicly because the old man has long since stopped asking about world affairs? Could it be that all this is an illusion, every move in this domain is actually under the control of this old guy quietly
The venerable seemed to know what he was thinking, and suddenly looked away from the red mountain peak, and said to Ye Xiaotian with a smile: "That man Yang Yinglong has a wicked mind! Don't look at his abundance, prosperity in his early years, success and fame, if he doesn't know how to restrain himself, he will sooner or later He will be destroyed, so stay away from him."
Ye Xiaotian was surprised and said: "Your Majesty knows..."
The Venerable smiled and said: "If the old man doesn't know what happened under the nose of the old man, then it's not called not asking about world affairs, it's called old fool..."
A strange thought suddenly jumped into Ye Xiaotian's mind: "What is the end of the day, don't it be the ghost of this old man, he deliberately pretended to die, and took the opportunity to lure out all those evil spirits and careerists, so as to catch them all at once?"
The venerable said with a smile: "No, the old man is really near the end of his life, he is about to die."
Ye Xiaotian was stunned when he told him what was on his mind, and his hairs stood on end.
The Venerable blinked at him, with a childish mischievous look in his eyes: "Don't forget, I am the servant of the Gu God, and I am not a god or a demigod. God, although not as god as you think, is always better than ordinary people Bigger, don't you think?"
