Chapter 290: Finally Returning to Yuanqing, Guests Arrive
A hairpin was handed to Lingxiang. It looked no different from before. If there was no difference, it was probably that the silver on the hairpin was brighter than before.
Long Qi was very curious. Could it be that Lingxiang had come to Linxiang specifically to repair the jewelry? However, this jewelry was only stolen from Su Tong and didn't look very valuable. If she liked it, wouldn't it be better for him to polish it? It would save him having to ask others for help.
Lingxiang carefully examined the hairpin in her hand from beginning to end. It was indeed more exquisite than before. Just as she was about to pin it on her head, Yue Niang stopped her.
The two looked at each other but didn't say anything. Seeing Lingxiang's determined face, Yue Niang could only sigh.
She tried to stop him, and there was nothing she could do. This child had the same personality as Tumi. Once he made up his mind, he would never look back.
Lingxiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know my limits." Then she inserted the hairpin into her bun.
The two of them were indeed a bit strange. To Banxia, it seemed that they were chanting some verses. When she was about to ask, she heard a child's loud shout.
“Master!”
A small ball of flesh jumped out from behind Yue Niang and threw itself into Lingxiang's arms.
It’s Adao!
But this time, Adao didn't have the animal ears and tail he had before. He was wearing fluffy clothes and had a small bun, looking like a child.
Seeing him become like this, Lingxiang was filled with joy. She hugged him and ravaged him for a long time, until his chubby little face was squeezed out of shape.
This really pissed Long Qi off, and he hurried forward and lifted Ah Dao up, saying, "Now that you've become a demon, you need to be more cautious. Have you forgotten what I told you before?"
Ah Dao looked displeased. Master Lingxiang hadn't said anything, but Long Qi had to meddle in other people's business. What a bummer!
Ah Dao and Long Qi were playing passionately, but Ling Xiang was very curious and asked Xiang Yue Niang, "How did you make Ah Dao transform into a human?"
According to Lingxiang, it was because of the abundant spiritual energy in Yunmeng Lake and because Ah Dao was worried about his own safety that he forced himself to transform, which led to his later demonic possession. She had thought that Yue Niang, as a powerful demon, would know how to save Ah Dao, but she hadn't expected him to actually help him transform.
"Since the order is wrong, we will fill in the gaps where there are mistakes." Yue Niang fanned herself very deliberately and said with a smug look on her face, "We, the demon race, are different from you humans. We don't have so many troublesome things to follow step by step. As long as the final result is satisfactory, the process is not important." After saying that, she looked at Cheng Xin Zhenren in the distance provocatively.
Zhenren Chengxin seemed to sense Yue Niang's provocation. He just snorted coldly, flicked his wide sleeves, and turned his back.
This little Taoist priest is really interesting, very interesting!
Just as Yue Niang withdrew her gaze, she saw Ling Xiang bowing: "I am grateful for your help today, Yue Niang. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely bring you a generous gift to express my gratitude."
What are you thanking me for? And you need to bring a valuable gift?
Long Qi was confused when he heard this, but he saw Yue Niang helping Ling Xiang up, but the expression on her face was extremely arrogant.
"Alright, alright, your gift is nothing more than some pills and elixirs," he said, pulling out a pouch from his bosom, which contained the seven treasures and fragrant pills. "For me, this alone is enough."
"Go! Be careful."
Lingxiang nodded, then turned and left with everyone else, leaving Yue Niang alone standing there.
Tumi, oh Tumi, if you are still alive in heaven, please bless her!
Except for Master Chengxin, everyone in the group was talking and laughing, playing and joking. In just three or four days, they arrived at the foot of Jiuque Mountain.
A boy at the mountain gate had already seen a group of people coming from afar, and someone hurried up the mountain to report to Master Qianyuan.
It was not until they reached the sect gate that Banxia remembered that her master Chengxin had quite a high level of cultivation. Why didn't he take them on a flying sword, but instead walked back to Yuanqing step by step?
Since I can't figure it out, I have to ask.
Lingxiang smiled upon hearing this and said, "Of course, your uncle Chengxin can take me on a flying sword ride, but it's different for you. You inner disciples have been ordered to go down the mountain to gain experience. If you're going to gain experience, you must abide by the rules of the mortal world. If you're flying swords all the time, how can that be considered experience?"
So that's how it is. Banxia slapped her head and suddenly realized it. She was about to say something else when she saw the gatekeeper boy hurriedly step forward and bow.
"Third Elder, Little Sister, please hurry up the mountain. There are guests there, and we've been waiting for two or three days."
This made Lingxiang curious. Could it be that this guest had some background?
"Guests are just visitors. Why are you so flustered? There are always pilgrims coming to Banshan Temple, and I've never seen you act so solemnly."
The little Taoist boy was a little anxious. He scratched his head and hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't make any sense.
It's not his fault. After all, he is just a gatekeeper boy. In terms of status, he is just an outer disciple. He is not even worthy of being called uncle or aunt. He can only be called elder. It's just that Lingxiang's position is special, so everyone in the sect calls her little aunt.
"I don't quite understand either. I just heard that they were from a certain sect, and that a lot of people came. The head elder specifically instructed that if the two elders returned, he would urge you to go up the mountain to meet the guests."
Wow! So many people have come? What kind of sect are they from? Are they here to cause trouble?
Lingxiang suddenly became interested and no longer cared about Chengxin Zhenren behind her. She jumped up the mountain.
There's something exciting to watch, so why don't you hurry up?
Looking at Lingxiang who was jumping with every step, Zhenren Chengxin smiled helplessly.
He thought Lingxiang would be sad for some days because the master had passed the tribulation and ascended to heaven, but he didn't expect that she was still like this and so heartless. He had been worried about her for so many days, but it turned out that he was overthinking it.
Never mind, it’s fine this way. Their junior sister should be so carefree, right?
Zhenren Chengxin shook his head and told Long Qi to quickly catch up with Lingxiang. He also gave Liu Xia and Banxia a few instructions, then made a hand gesture and disappeared with a trick of escape.
Lingxiang had never been physically active, and her leg was injured. She trudged along for a long time before finally reaching the Halfway Point Observation Point. As soon as she entered the mountain, she sighed deeply—home is still the best place! The saying goes, "A nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own doghouse," and it's true.
It is called the Half-Mountain Viewpoint, but in fact it is not even halfway up the mountain. It is named so only to cater to the pilgrims. Otherwise, wouldn’t those pilgrims be exhausted to burn incense and fulfill their wishes?
Lingxiang really couldn't climb anymore, and she was holding on to a stone pillar and breathing heavily. At this moment, a man walked out of the temple, and it was Shoucheng.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. It seems your kicking skills have regressed!" Shoucheng said with a smile.
Lingxiang rolled her eyes at him but didn't answer.
She couldn't even take a break, so how could she have time to argue with this guy?
Shoucheng smiled broadly when he saw this - is this still the flamboyant little nun who ran to his dormitory in the middle of the night?
Forget it, forget it. I still have my master’s orders to follow, so I can’t delay any longer.
"Disciple has been waiting here for a long time. Third Uncle-Master ordered me to take Little Sister-in-law to the meeting hall."
That's right! Shoucheng is good at earth escape, so this saves a lot of effort.
Fang put his hand on Shoucheng's shoulder, but felt something was wrong. At the moment Shoucheng cast the spell, Lingxiang remembered that her third senior brother also knew the art of escape.
Lingxiang was about to complain when a gust of sand was blown up and the two people disappeared. At this moment, Long Qi arrived and was stunned when he saw the two people disappearing.
This...this...
And what about him! What about him?
