Chapter 299 The Visitor Turns Out to Be a Fellow Disciple
There was a cloud of dust, and Lingxiang and Shoucheng disappeared. After the sky and the earth spun around, the two of them found themselves outside the meeting hall.
This escape caught Lingxiang off guard. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she almost fell. Fortunately, Shoucheng supported her in time, preventing her from falling to the ground.
But even so, Lingxiang still looked in a disheveled state, with disheveled hair and a dusty face, and she stayed there in the cold for a long time.
Where is she, where is she going...
After coming to her senses, Lingxiang blew away the strands of hair scattered in front of her, spat out the sand in her mouth, and turned around to blame Shoucheng.
"I am your master after all. I was about to say something, but you just ran away without saying a word. It's obvious that you are trying to tease me."
She has no dignity left by making things so embarrassing! ?
Shoucheng saw Lingxiang was furious and was about to hit her, so he quickly put his hands in front of him, smiled apologetically, pointed behind Lingxiang, and whispered, "Little Sister-in-law, you have to be more careful!"
Know what to do, Lingxiang never knew what to do!
Although she thought so, Lingxiang still followed Shoucheng's direction and looked back. Surprisingly, she saw rows of unfamiliar Taoist servants wearing Taoist robes that she had never seen before.
Huh? She was only away for a few months, and the sect already had so many disciples? She even changed into new clothes?
"This is..." Lingxiang was not quite sure, but she was much more restrained. While tidying up her messy clothes and hair, she asked Xiang Shoucheng quietly.
After all, we still have to take Elder Yuan Qingjiu's face into consideration, right?
"It's a distant visitor..." Shoucheng also responded in a low voice.
Ah~ These are the guests! No wonder they all look unfamiliar!
Lingxiang suddenly realized what had happened. She tidied her appearance and pretended to walk through the group of people. However, she secretly criticized Shoucheng: This brat, I guess it has been a long time since I teased him, and he made her lose face in front of outsiders. Let's see how he will deal with him later!
It’s just that the clothes of these people looked familiar, but I couldn’t remember where I had seen them before.
Shoucheng felt so miserable! He knew his little nun too well. If he didn't do this, he would be blamed today, and might even be punished by the little nun. Instead of doing this, it would be better to escape directly to the door of the meeting hall. Although he might still be teased by her afterwards, but...
Hide for as long as you can!
"Elder Fu Cang is here!"
Following the gatekeeper boy's loud singing, Lingxiang walked into the meeting hall solemnly, but saw that several old men in her family were standing there without any distinction of priority.
This is really strange. Could it be that the eldest senior brother has become enlightened and wants to pass the position of headmaster to me? That is really...
Well deserved!
Thinking of this, Lingxiang's face was filled with joy. She cleared her throat and was about to speak, but she heard a strong and powerful voice coming from the hall.
"Little Shopkeeper of Youranju Lingxiang, I haven't seen you for a long time. I hope you are doing well!"
Who is this? Why does he look so familiar? He actually knows that I am the owner of Youranju?
At this time, Shangqing Zhenren and a group of elders made way, and the man in the hall appeared, but he still carried the spiritual incense on his back and did not turn around.
Ah! Such white hair and such a proud character! So familiar!
"May I ask, fellow Taoist, who is..."
Which temple?
Before he could finish his words, Master Qian Yuan shouted, "Ling Xiang! Don't be rude!"
"Oh~ It's okay! This little girl and I have some acquaintances before." The man in the hall raised his hand.
Have you ever met someone in the corridor? Then...
"That's really rare. Although I'm not very old, little girl, I'm considered an old hand in the world. Over the years, I've met at least forty or fifty fellow Taoists, if not a hundred. I'm sorry for my poor eyesight, but I really didn't recognize you." Lingxiang shrugged her shoulders and stuck out her tongue at Taoist Qianyuan.
Why, she really doesn't remember.
Hearing this, the man smiled, then turned half his body, bent over and waved at Lingxiang playfully: "Do you still remember who I am?" "Hiss!"
Lingxiang took a long breath, and saw that the man had long eyebrows and beard, eyes like deep pools, and that immortal-like figure was...
"Senior Lieyang!"
It turned out to be Taoist Priest Lieyang from the Supreme Sect!
However, Taoist Priest Lieyang's mischievous behavior really caught her off guard.
The Taoist priest Lieyang that Lingxiang knew was extremely calm and dignified. When had he ever been so calm? Could it be that all the fellow Taoists who had gained experience in Taoism had become old men over the years?
Just when Lingxiang was at a loss, Shangqing Zhenren, who had kept his eyes closed, said, "You shouldn't call me senior. According to seniority, you should call me uncle."
Uncle?
This...where do I start?
One is the Tai Shang Sect, the other is the Yuan Qing Sect. There is a huge gap between the two sects. How can they be judged by seniority?
Seeing Lingxiang's face full of surprise, Master Lieyang stood up straight, smiled and said a few words "it's okay", then sighed.
"It's all old news."
Old stories? That's great, what I like to hear most are those things of the past.
Lingxiang's face was full of anticipation, all she needed to do was move a bench and make a pot of good tea.
It turns out that True Man Lieyang was originally from Yuanqing, and was a fellow disciple of the former head master Ling Xiao. His master was the ancestor Wuwei who had transcended the tribulation and ascended to heaven not long ago.
Patriarch Wuwei had only three disciples in his life, these two and True Man Xunfeng. However, True Man Xunfeng was just a child at the time, and Patriarch Wuwei originally intended to pass the position of headmaster to his eldest disciple, True Man Lieyang.
However, things went against their wishes. Just on the eve of stopping the evil beast Zhu Yan from coming into the world, news came that True Man Lieyang was having an affair with a fox demon.
When Patriarch Wuwei heard the news, he was furious. He expelled the fox demon from Guyang and imprisoned True Man Lieyang in the Hexi Cave on the Cliff of Siguo.
The Hexi Cave is pitch dark and filled with magic arrays that seal the soul and stop the breath. Even if Master Lieyang has a high level of cultivation, he would die if he fell into it.
Master Xunfeng could not bear to see his eldest senior brother suffer, so when Patriarch Wuwei was in seclusion and the former head master Lingxiao was leading his five disciples to suppress the soul of the ferocious beast, he secretly climbed up the Cliff of Repentance and broke the magic circle of the Hexi Cave.
This action is indeed against the master's orders.
At that time, the former headmaster was injured, and Patriarch Wuwei forced himself out of seclusion. After learning about this, he was not as angry as before, but instead expelled both True Man Lieyang and True Man Xunfeng from the Yuanqing Sect.
Listening to Master Lieyang sighing and recounting all the past events in a calm tone, Lingxiang finally understood.
No wonder Hui Wu could use skills such as the Covering Water Sword Technique and Stepping Cloud Shoes which originally belonged to the Yuanqing School. It turns out that the two schools are from the same origin!
Oh! There was such a coincidence in this world, and she actually encountered it.
"but……"
Just as Lingxiang was deep in thought, Master Lieyang suddenly changed the subject.
"But the reason why Master drove me and Junior Brother Xunfeng away back then was because of another reason."
Hmm? Another story?
