This place is the back mountain area of the South Garden of the Five Thunder Sword Temple. It is connected to a cloud bridge that leads directly to another mountain peak, which is called the North Pavilion.
The South Garden and the North Pavilion are both the main branches of the "Five Thunder Sword Temple". The South Garden is where male cultivators gather, and the North Pavilion is where female cultivators gather. Due to old grievances, the two branches have not been in contact and have been isolated from each other.
Therefore, disciples from the South Garden would often patrol this area, and any male disciples were strictly prohibited from crossing the Cloud Bridge to go to the North Pavilion.
However, no male disciple dared to cross the Cloud Bridge, and the country lived in peace for more than a few hundred years.
"Wait, you smell like Beige!"
A male Taoist disciple had a sensitive nose and immediately smelled that there was something wrong with the smell on Zhang Ling.
As soon as these words were spoken, the three or five Taoists had strange expressions on their faces. They looked horrified, but also had ambiguous expressions on their faces.
They didn't expect that there would be a male disciple who would dare to walk across the Cloud Bridge to the North Pavilion!
"Ahem, this... Junior Brother? Did you just come back from the North Pavilion?"
Zhang Ling saw the strange expressions on their faces, their eyes filled with fear and ambiguity, and was inevitably confused. What was going on? Was this North Pavilion a forbidden area, truly off-limits?
"I just got lost, but I just returned from that mountain."
Zhang Ling suddenly felt that there would be some inexplicable troubles later. First of all, his identity in the Five Thunder Sword Temple was questionable. Could he say that he appeared out of thin air in the North Pavilion?
This won't work. It seems like I can only escape here and leave the Five Thunder Sword Temple, otherwise I will be interrogated and questioned endlessly by these mortals.
While he was thinking, another sword-riding monk flew over. He was an elderly Taoist with gray beard and white clothes.
"Why are you gathered here so late at night?"
When several male Taoist disciples saw the newcomer, they respectfully clasped their fists and saluted: "Greetings, Elder!"
Someone immediately reported what happened to the elder.
Upon hearing this, the old man also had an ambiguous attitude and a questioning look in his eyes. He looked Zhang Ling up and down and said, "If I remember correctly, I don't think there is a disciple like you in Nanyuan... Well, do you have a token?"
Zhang Ling shook his head and said, "I am indeed not a disciple of the South Court. I came here from the North Court. It is really a misunderstanding. I will leave now."
"etc!"
The old man took Zhang Ling's hand, sniffed his fragrance, and nodded: "Do you know who sent you to my Nanyuan? Perhaps there is no misunderstanding, but there must be a deeper meaning."
Is there a deeper meaning?
Zhang Ling let out a light exclamation and described the figure, appearance, clothing and temperament of the female Taoist priest in detail.
"It's Uncle Qingxuan!" A male disciple's eyes lit up and he spoke immediately.
Here, "Master" is a seniority and honorific title, and there is no distinction between men and women.
The elder nodded and smiled, saying, "Since it is Senior Sister Qingxuan's arrangement, you may enter my South Garden today!"
Then he turned to the disciples and said, "Take him to the Huangzi Courtyard."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ling wondered if he had actually become a disciple of the Nanyuan School of the Five Thunder Sword Temple by accident.
However, I didn't have much thought about actually entering the Five Thunder Sword Temple.
Obviously these people have misunderstood something and thought that the female Taoist priest had made some ulterior motive in their arrangements. It would be better to explain it clearly and not let the misunderstanding continue.
Just as Zhang Ling was about to speak clearly, he suddenly had an impulse and couldn't help but count with his fingers again.
oh!
There is actually a karmic connection here!
It seems that I can't just walk away so easily.
We can stay in this Five Thunder Sword Temple for a few more days.
