In the sky, figures shuttled back and forth. Many people did not know each other. They looked at each other and first saw the cards of the other party, and then secretly compared themselves.

At this time, an old man sat astride the back of a flaming bull, drinking wine and leisurely watching the immortal cultivators passing by with a smile on his face.

Under his buttocks, the flaming bull was burning with blazing flames. Its four hooves moved, and what it stepped on was not auspicious clouds, but flames.

Every step it took made the air vibrate, making a "tick-tick" sound, and flames flew out in all directions. Not only was it fast, but it was also spraying fire. Naturally, its momentum was amazing and unparalleled. It was a rare handsome guy in the sky.

The old man looked at the others in the air with contempt, feeling very pleased with himself. "Who can be more dazzling than me in this flying?"

At this moment, the eyes of the fire bull suddenly widened, and he said in surprise: "Huh? Master, there are people in front of us with golden auspicious clouds. How did they do that?"

"What? Auspicious clouds? Golden?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, looked up, and suddenly shuddered, his scalp tingled, and he almost dropped the wine bottle in his hand.

"Hiss - that's merit! This, this, this... How can there be such a big auspicious cloud of merit!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and he almost roared, and hurriedly said: "Fire bull, quickly, quickly turn off the flame! Don't let the flame touch there at all, not even a small spark, quickly turn off the flame! Slow down, change direction, let's go around!"

This scene was happening everywhere in the void.

Originally, everyone was very harmonious and showed off their wealth to each other, but now they all restrained their spirit light and even their momentum, fearing to disturb Master Gongde and cause misunderstanding.

Some people riding spirit beasts directly sealed the mouths of the spirit beasts. If the roar was too loud and hurt Master Gongde's ears, it would be an unprovoked disaster.

Along the way, Li Nianfan and others had no obstacles, and everyone even gave way to them and silently stayed away.

It can be said that once Gongde appeared, everyone would compete with him.

Li Nianfan nodded to everyone's performance, and he was very satisfied with this behavior of "giving up seats".

After crossing many mountain ranges, you can soon see golden light all over the sky ahead, forming beams of light that shoot up to the sky. You can also hear the solemn sound of Buddhist chanting, which makes people feel peaceful.

Going forward, on a high mountain, there are temples, each of which is a gold-plated tower-shaped building. The golden light shines from these buildings.

The whole mountain is polished into layers of steps from top to bottom. In front of the lower steps, there stands a tall golden doorpost, which is held by two monks to welcome passers-by.

From the steps at the bottom of the mountain, it extends all the way to the top of the mountain. The mountain is very high and the stairs are very long. Every nine steps, there is a monk on each side, with his hands clasped together, his eyes closed, and his mouth constantly chanting scriptures.

This meant that people were asked to climb the stairs.

Those palaces were naturally dazzling, but with the arrival of Li Nianfan, the limelight was instantly stolen.

Compared with the Merit Golden Cloud, the gold color of those palaces instantly fell behind. Not only was the color of the Merit Golden Cloud more righteous, but also in terms of temperament.

In comparison, the gold color of the palaces was not only dim, but also vulgar.

"I'm really sorry for accidentally stealing the limelight."

Li Nianfan felt a little embarrassed. Just as he was about to land, he saw a figure riding a cloud in the temple and soon landed in front of everyone. It was Yue Tu.

She put her hands together and said, "Yue Tu has seen Master Li."

Li Nianfan smiled, "Bodhisattva Yue Tu, long time no see. You are the protagonist of this event. Why bother you to come and pick me up in person?"

"Master Li can come, one person is enough to make up for everything." Yue Tu showed sincerity, "Yue Tu should come and pick me up in person no matter what."

She made a gesture of invitation, "Master Li naturally does not need to climb the stairs, just fly directly into the temple."

It turned out that she opened a fast track for me.

Li Nianfan nodded and followed Yue Tu to fly into the temple hall.

Below, those who were still climbing the stairs couldn't help but look up, and could only see a golden auspicious cloud floating lightly over their heads, as if saying: We are different...

On the way, Li Nianfan pondered for a moment, and said: "Bodhisattva Yuetu, I met your Buddhist disciple recently, but... I'm afraid he can't come."

Yuetu was slightly stunned and said: "Did something happen?"

Li Nianfan sighed lightly, recounted what happened, and finally shook his head and said: "The most difficult thing in the world is human emotions. No one can interfere, they can only rely on themselves."

Li Nianfan actually wanted to help, but outsiders had no way to intervene in such matters. Forcing intervention would only have a counterproductive effect. He could only think of roundabout ways.

Alas, it was a waste that I watched so many sensational dramas in my previous life. Now that the time has come, I don’t even know how to say a word of comfort. I regret not having enough chicken soup when I need it.

"Amitabha."

Yue Tu said in a complicated tone, and then said, "This disaster of abstaining from sex is indeed inevitable."

Then, Yue Tu fell into silence, as if thinking about something.

Soon everyone came to the main hall. The hall was very spacious and magnificent. There were no unnecessary decorations. There were only a few pillars supporting it, and there were monks receiving many visitors.

There were a lot of people, and it seemed that Buddhism still had enough face. After all, the scope of its dissemination was too wide, and it was a step higher than a sect. This was an independent sect.

Li Nianfan naturally wouldn't pay too much attention to these passersby, and simply glanced at them, but he was the brightest star, and it was hard not to attract attention. Soon, many acquaintances gathered together.

Zi Ye, Ling Zhu, Xiao Chengfeng, Pei An, and Gu Changqing and his grandson.

They were naturally invited, and they came early and gathered together. When they saw Li Nianfan coming, they immediately came over to say hello, "Mr. Li."

Li Nianfan smiled and said in return, "Hahaha, you are here too."

Yue Tu suggested, "Mr. Li, why don't I arrange a room for everyone to reminisce about the past."

Li Nianfan nodded, "Very good."

Soon, everyone left the hall and went to the back hall's chamber.

The others were surprised, and only after Li Nianfan and the others left did they dare to discuss it gradually.

"What's going on? There is actually someone who can step on the auspicious cloud of merit, where did he get so much merit!"

"This is the first time I've seen merit since I was a child."

"It's so unfair, I save mortals from monsters every day, why don't I get any merit?"

"The key is whether he is still a mortal, can a mortal have so much merit?"

"Did he save the world in his previous life?"

...

Li Nianfan naturally had no time to pay attention to the exclamations of the crowd, but followed Yue Tu to a secluded chamber.

This room is different from the outside world, exuding a kind of sandalwood fragrance. The layout is no different from that of ordinary people's residences. The wooden tables and chairs are neatly arranged, which immediately makes Li Nianfan like it a lot.

Seeing too much gold hurts my eyes, so I prefer something more ordinary.

"Mr. Li, sit down." Yue Tu asked Li Nianfan to sit down and asked someone to serve tea.

Compared with other places, Yue Tu really disappointed Li Nianfan.

Whether it is the ghost messenger, or the Liyu Palace, or the Xia Dynasty, when they appear, they are either beautiful female ghosts, or charming clam spirits, and graceful palace maids. Which one is not full of benefits, making people linger.

Look here again, there are only a bunch of monks with shaved heads, and only the shiny foreheads can be seen.

It seems that Buddhism is not suitable for being a guest.

Li Nianfan took it to heart. It would be better to go to another place for fun when traveling in the future.

In addition to the poor service staff, the dishes were obviously not good either. The table full of vegetarian dishes was bland and watery.

"Yue Tu, I have to say something about this."

Pei An couldn't help but said, "We are old acquaintances after all. If you are too poor, just say hello to us. It's a bit unreasonable to treat us with only these dishes."

The key point is that the master is still here. How can you be so embarrassed to show off these dishes with such a noble status?

"The food we eat in Buddhism is poor." Yue Tu looked a little embarrassed, and said bitterly: "But these are all grown by our temple, and we have collected all the spiritual fruits that can be found around, so the taste should be okay."

Ling Zhu, who is a foodie, didn't say much, and picked up a vegetable and put it into her mouth, "Ah, mia~mia~mia~"

Her mouth only moved a few times, and her pupils suddenly dilated and froze.

Her mouth twitched, and with a "puff", the vegetable flew out of her mouth.

"No, I can't do it..." She was in tears, and her body collapsed and leaned on Zi Ye.

He slapped his mouth with regret and said weakly, "I have never thought that there is such a disgusting thing in the world. The dish... is poisonous. I can't live anymore."

The others all silently retracted their chopsticks that were about to be extended and cast respectful eyes on Lingzhu.

Thank you for testing the poison, fellow Taoist.

Zi Ye was frowning and whispered, "Okay, what poison can kill you? Get up quickly."

"To me, taste is the biggest poison in the world. Only delicious food can save me." Ling Zhu hugged Zi Ye and said affectionately, "Sister Zi Ye, I know you still have an orange hidden. Save me, save me!"

"Hahaha, you're such a foodie." Li Nianfan couldn't help laughing and shaking his head, "The thing I have the most here is delicious food. This time I came here, I unexpectedly harvested a unicorn meat. You guys are in for a treat."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved, and suddenly two more unicorn meat legs appeared on the table.

There was too much unicorn meat. In order to preserve it, Li Nianfan processed the two legs and made them into marinated bacon. Unexpectedly, the taste was surprisingly good.

The aroma of the bacon was not strong, but rather introverted. However, everyone stared at it with shining eyes. The food brought out by the master was definitely the greatest enjoyment in the world.

"Wow, thank you, Master Li!"

Lingzhu was not polite at all. His eyes were shining. He rushed over like a wolf and a tiger. He couldn't wait to pick up a leg and started to gnaw it alone.

The others moved their mouths slightly and watched eagerly.

What do you mean? There were only two in total, and you took one away by yourself. Are you so unethical?

"Hurry up." Zi Ye understood Ling Zhu and urged, "Don't be in a daze, let's share the remaining one quickly, otherwise we won't be able to keep it when she finishes eating!"

"What, so cruel? What are you waiting for?"

"Hurry up, speed up, speed up, speed up!"

Everyone looked like a thief, more aggressive than Ling Bao, staring at the pieces of meat, their faces flushed with anxiety.

After just the first bite, everyone was immediately conquered by the tender and smooth meat, and couldn't help but close their eyes to enjoy it.

Lingzhu's toxins were immediately drained out, and his mouth was so full that he couldn't speak clearly. "Qilin meat is really different! Even in the past so many years, I haven't had the chance to taste it."

"Hehehe, this Qilin is just a stupid Qilin. It was so arrogant at the beginning, but in the end it was burned to death by thunder." Nannan brought up the topic and laughed as she told the whole process.

Everyone else was eating and listening attentively, and then burst into laughter.

Only Yue Tu was an exception.

She was originally eating happily with everyone else, but now she silently put down the piece of meat in her hand and spit out the meat in her mouth. She pouted her mouth and her eyes were full of tears.

Her mentality collapsed.

Just eat, why do you have to talk about these topics? How can people enjoy their meals?

The delicious meat that was about to reach my mouth flew away!

Is there anything more painful than this in the world?

Lingzhu stared at the piece of meat and swallowed his saliva, "Huh? Bodhisattva Yuetu, why don't you eat it?"

Yuetu said aggrievedly: "You can only eat meat that has not been killed. I just heard the killing process, I..."

Lingzhu was refreshed and interrupted directly, "Great, if you don't eat it, I will!"

"..." Yuetu: "Amitabha."

Then, everyone ate the Qilin pig trotter happily, only Yuetu was chewing vegetables sadly.

After eating and drinking, everyone showed a comfortable smile.

Xiao Chengfeng wiped his mouth and began to brag: "Mr. Li, this Qilin actually dared to ambush you. This is because I am not here, otherwise it would have been chopped by a sword!"

This was automatically ignored by everyone.

Zi Ye frowned and said, "It seems that the last catastrophe is actually related to the Qilin clan. But even in ancient times, we only heard about dragons and phoenixes, and rarely heard about them. They have been lying dormant for a long time."

Ling Zhu was still licking the leg bone that was no longer fleshy, and said, "I thought the Qilin clan had long been extinct."

Li Nianfan suddenly said, "If the story I know is correct, the Qilin clan did participate in the Investiture of the Gods."

Zi Ye's face immediately straightened and said, "Please tell me, Mr. Li."

"The Investiture of the Gods mentioned a mythical beast called Sibu Xiang. You should all remember it. And this Sibu Xiang is the legitimate son of the first Qilin."

PS: I saw that many people mentioned that the protagonist of yesterday's chapter was the Holy Mother.

You can take a good look at it. The reason why the protagonist advised was because the family that Yun Yiyi wanted to kill were innocent. That family did not participate, but did not help the Yun family because they were afraid. They stayed out of the matter. Does this mean they deserve to die?
