Chapter 291: The Visitor Turns Out to Be a Fellow Disciple
A cloud of dust flew up, and Lingxiang and Shoucheng disappeared. After the sky spun and the earth spun, the two of them landed 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 and prevented her from falling to the ground.
But even so, Lingxiang still looked in a dishevel, with disheveled hair and a face covered in dust. She stayed there in the cold for a long time.
Where is she, where is she going...
After coming to her senses, Lingxiang blew at 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 aunt 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!?
Seeing Lingxiang furious and ready to attack, Shoucheng quickly put his hands in front of him, smiled apologetically, pointed behind Lingxiang, and whispered a reminder: "Little Sister, please be careful!"
Knowing the limits, Lingxiang never knew the limits!
Although she thought so, Lingxiang still followed Shoucheng's direction and looked back. She saw rows of unfamiliar Taoist children, whose Taoist robes she had never seen before.
Huh? She'd only been gone for a few months, and the sect had already accepted so many disciples? And 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 guest..." Shoucheng also responded in a low voice.
Ah~ These are the guests! No wonder they all look unfamiliar!
Lingxiang suddenly realized what was going on. She tidied her appearance and pretended to walk through the group of people. But in her heart she was criticizing Shoucheng: This brat, it must have been a long time since I teased him, and he made her lose face in front of outsiders. Let's see how she will deal with him later!
It’s just that these people’s clothes look familiar, but I can’t remember where I’ve seen them before.
Shoucheng's heart ached! He knew his little sister-in-law too well. If he didn't do this, he was afraid he would be reprimanded today, and might even be punished by her. Instead of that, it would be better to just flee to the entrance of the meeting hall. Although she might still tease him afterwards, but...
Hide for as long as you can!
"Elder Fu Cang has arrived!"
Following the gatekeeper's loud singing, Lingxiang walked into the meeting hall seriously, but saw that several old men in her family were standing there without any distinction between the main and the secondary.
This was truly bizarre. Could it be that the eldest senior brother had attained enlightenment and wanted to pass the position of headmaster onto himself? That would be truly...
Well deserved!
Thinking of this, Lingxiang's face was filled with joy. She cleared her throat and was about to speak when 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'm the owner of Youranju?
At this moment, Shangqing Zhenren and a group of elders made way, and the man in the hall appeared, but he still carried Lingxiang on his back and did not turn around.
Ah! Such white hair and such proud character! So familiar!
"May I ask, fellow Taoist, who is..."
Which temple is it from?
Before he could finish his words, Qian Yuan Zhenren shouted, "Ling Xiang! Don't be rude!"
"Oh~ It's okay! This little girl and I have known each other for a while." The man in the hall raised his hand.
Have you ever crossed paths? Then...
"That's really strange. Although I'm not very old, 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. Forgive my poor eyesight, I really didn't recognize you." Lingxiang shrugged her shoulders and stuck out her tongue at Zhenren Qianyuan.
Why, she really doesn't remember.
Hearing this, the man smiled, then turned halfway around, bent down, and playfully waved at Lingxiang: "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, the mischievous behavior of Taoist Priest Lieyang really caught her off guard.
The Taoist Priest Lieyang Lingxiang knew was always calm and dignified. When had he ever been so demeanored? Could it be that all his fellow Taoists, who had gained experience in the Dao, 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 our generation, you should call me uncle."
Uncle Master?
This...where do I even begin?
One is the Tai Shang Sect and the other is the Yuan Qing Sect. The distance between the two sects is not even a little bit, so how can they be compared in terms of seniority?
Seeing Lingxiang's face full of surprise, Master Lieyang stood up straight, smiled and said a few times that it was okay, then sighed.
"It's all old news."
Old stories? That's great, I love hearing about the past.
Lingxiang was full of anticipation, and all she needed to do was move a bench and brew a pot of good tea.
It turns out that True Man Lieyang was originally from Yuanqing, and was a fellow disciple of the former headmaster 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 the 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 Master Lieyang in the Hexi Cave on the Cliff of Repentance.
The Hexi Cave is pitch black 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.
True Man Xunfeng couldn't bear to see his eldest senior brother suffer, so when Patriarch Wuwei was in seclusion and the former headmaster Ling Xiao 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 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 the past events in a calm tone, Lingxiang finally understood.
No wonder Hui Wu would use techniques 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.
"However, there was another reason why Master drove me and Junior Brother Xunfeng away back then."
Hmm? Another story?
