Chapter 84 Chapter 84 Little Monk
Mo Aotian and Huo Xin were too excited, and Yun Miao naturally couldn't let them leave alone, so everyone stood up and went to Xuantian Palace together to pay a visit to the headmaster.
Sect Leader Chang was discussing matters with other peak masters and elders at the time. After getting permission, the four of them and the wolf quickly walked into the store. When Sect Leader Chang saw the sleek black wolf, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
He and Shu Bai had clearly told Xiao Miao privately not to get too close to Chu Beiliang, but she always just paid lip service to it and remained inseparable from Chu Beiliang.
It just so happened that Chu Beiliang had defected to the Xuantian Sect and was considered a member of the sect. This time, it was thanks to the cooperation between him and Yun Miao that the sect learned the location of the Demon Cult.
Although Sect Leader Chang still had some potential doubts about Chu Beiliang's position due to his status as the Holy Son of the Changsheng Sect, it would be difficult for him to be too unkind and directly separate the two of them.
Alas, Xiao Miao is a good child in every way, except that he is a little too naughty and bold, which makes his master worry a lot.
On the other side, Mo Aotian had already walked quickly to the front.
As the saying goes, it's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's nature. Although he had learned a lot in the Sutra Library these days, his emotions were out of control, and he immediately forgot all those words, "I'm not talented, but I'm so happy, so happy, so stupid." He walked up to Master Chang and asked when they would attack the Changsheng Sect. He wanted to be the first to sign up!
Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Chang glanced at Yun Miao again and sent a message to her using his spiritual sense.
The reason why he asked Yun Miao to tell Mo Aotian and Huo Xin these things was because he thought of their good relationship and hoped that Yun Miao could use her eloquence, which was far beyond ordinary people, to persuade these two people.
He told them not to get carried away by their emotions and act too impulsively, but looking at the situation, it was clear that this little naughty boy definitely didn't take his words to heart.
Yun Miao sincerely said that it was not that she didn't want to persuade him, but that she couldn't.
"Master, these blood feuds weren't created just now. They've been waiting for this day of revenge for a long time. When hatred doesn't fade with the passage of time, but instead grows heavier day by day, it proves this isn't just a momentary emotion. They're clear-headed and willing to let the flames of revenge consume them."
Sect Leader Chang: […I asked you to use your eloquence to persuade others, but you ended up using all your tricks on me. Forget it, forget it, go have some fun.]
He spoke to comfort Mo Aotian and Huo Xin, saying that Huo Huazhi was not only proficient in divination, but also proficient in concealing the secrets of heaven, making it impossible for others to find her through divination and other techniques. The other strongholds of the Changsheng Sect were also hidden very secretly, and the sect was still in the exploration stage.
Mo Aotian immediately said that he also wanted to join the team to explore the Changsheng Sect's stronghold.
Sect Leader Chang pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
He had previously refused to allow Mo Aotian to leave because, after leaving Xuantian Sect, Mo Chi was no longer considered a member of the sect. Xuantian Sect would devote all its resources to avenging a disciple, but would not send its disciples to avenge the unrelated Mo Chi. The sect could only grant Mo Aotian some protection out of a past relationship.
So the best outcome in this situation is that Mo Aotian works hard to become stronger, then leaves the sect and kills his enemies.
But the situation is different now. Mo Aotian and the sect have a common enemy. Mo Aotian follows the sect's team, so naturally no one will be so blind as to attack him.
Mo Aotian got the answer he wanted and immediately bowed solemnly to Master Chang.
Huo Xin then stepped forward and explained her purpose. When she learned her enemy was Huo Huazhi, she realized she might never be able to kill him in her lifetime. However, she still wanted to join the team searching for the Changsheng Sect's stronghold and contribute to the sect.
At the same time, she was willing to tell the sect how to restrain the burning blood. She only hoped that after the leader killed Huo Huazhi, he could give his head to her so that she could use it to commemorate her relatives who died tragically.
Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Chang immediately became serious. Although Elder Yu Chen was also in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, he and Elder Yu Chen could definitely take down Huo Huazhi together, but Huo Huazhi was a conscious madman, and no one knew what kind of detrimental things a madman in the Tribulation Crossing Stage could do when he was in desperate situation.
If they could master the method of controlling the burning blood, then Howard would not be a threat.
He knew that the Huo family made their fortune by relying on the secret technique of burning blood, and this method must be the Huo family's secret, so he was very considerate and wanted to take Huo Xin to the inner hall to talk, and said that the sect would never pass this method on.
"No need, I believe in the sect."
Huo Xin shook his head and directly told the method. It was a kind of incense made from various rare materials. Ordinary people would only think it smelled good, but the Huo family members who entered the blood burning state could not smell it. They would be poisoned unknowingly and their realm would plummet.
The more times the Huo family members used the incense, the more deeply they became poisoned after smelling it, and the faster their realm would decline. The secret method of making incense was always known only to the clan leader. Huo Xin, as the young clan leader, also knew it. The main ingredient in making this incense was the blood of the Huo family members.
Having said that, Huo Xin gave a sarcastic sneer.
"Although Huo Huazhi is the ancestor of our Huo family, I guess she definitely doesn't know this, otherwise she would never let me leave alive."
She had always thought that Granny Hua's ability to help her escape the Huo family was a stroke of luck, but after hearing about the tragic deaths of Huo Huazhi twice, she realized the sinister intentions behind them. Unfortunately...this time, Huo Huazhi's cleverness backfired.
Sect Master Chang sighed and cast a deep gaze over the children before him. "I'm naturally happy that you want to contribute to the sect, but you must remember that revenge is fine, but you must never be blinded by hatred. No matter what, the one who survives is the winner."
After Yun Miao and others left, the palace door closed again, but this time the topic of discussion among Master Chang and others was Yun Miao.
"In less than a year, he directly leaped from a mortal to the God Transformation Stage. No matter how you look at it, it's too incredible."
"My understanding is not like that of ordinary people."
"This child has even comprehended the power of the Five Elements on his own. The embryonic form of the Five Elements Dao Body has begun to emerge. I believe that with continuous tempering, he will soon be able to completely transform into a Five Elements Dao Body."
"Her absorption of spiritual energy must be increasing by leaps and bounds now, right? Her comprehension is excellent, her mind is stable, and her only shortcoming has been addressed. This child has a bright future. If there weren't this spiritual energy tide, at this rate, she'd probably be able to ascend to heaven in a few years, right?"
"Don't talk about those nonsense. I just want to know that her qualifications are so terrifying. Could she be the immortal in the prophecy?"
"I think it's possible. Her performance is indeed not something that ordinary people can achieve. This song should only exist in heaven, and it is rare to hear it on earth."
"Okay, if you don't have any knowledge, don't try to imitate others' pretentious writing. It's bullshit."
"I don't think it's possible. You've all seen the immortal seeds of the Changsheng Sect before. They're all like wooden puppets. They're nowhere near as smart and cute as this child."
"Aside from their exceptional talents, the babies that emerged from the immortal molt are no different from other babies. The fact that they grew up like that is purely due to problems with the Changsheng Cult's education."
"I don't think it's possible. Immortals have vast magical powers and are mysterious and unfathomable. How can we speculate on their abilities? Who stipulates that the immortals in the prophecy must be cultivators? Maybe the immortal is just a mortal now. Only when the right time comes and there is a loud noise in the sky, the mortal will be enlightened and become an immortal on the spot."
"I think it's possible."
"What's the reason?"
"intuition."
"Tsk, you always lose when you gamble, and you act on your intuition. Go away."
*
A few days later, the sect competition resumed after a few days of suspension, but Yun Miao was now full of things and had no mood to participate.
Mo Aotian and Huo Xin both left the sect and would not be back in the short term. Tan Xiaobai seemed to be affected by the atmosphere and chose to go into seclusion, saying that she would not come out until she successfully established her foundation. She became more and more bored alone.
She wanted to concentrate on finding out more about the game, but she really didn't know where to start.
"I'm so fed up, so fed up, so fed up."
The female cultivator in green in the courtyard suddenly pounced on the big black wolf that was watering the vegetable garden, and then pulled the wolf's hair frantically in distress to vent her frustration.
Xiao Hei was suddenly “attacked”: ???
He turned his head and gently rubbed Yun Miao's cheek with his big head. His pair of black eyes looked at her calmly and intently: "What's wrong?"
"You don't understand."
Yun Miao threw the wolf hair in his hand away, held the handsome and domineering wolf head, and pretended to be affectionate and sad: "Xiao Hei, do you know? We are from two different worlds, so don't love me, it will be fruitless."
Xiao Hei: "It doesn't matter. I love you without any result."
Yun Miao became even more depressed: "No, you don't understand what I mean at all"
Xiao Hei said that he had secretly studied it these days and he understood it very well. The love that Yun Miao was talking about was the love between men and women, and when he saw Yun Miao, he wanted to kiss her, which was the love between men and women.
He also knew that the situation he and Yun Miao were in, where no one could find out, was called an affair, and it was wrong. Without a legitimate relationship, it was easy to be abandoned. So he had already made up his mind.
After his cooperation with Xuantian Sect is over, he will directly betray Xuantian Sect, so that he will no longer be Yun Miao's junior uncle. At that time, he will become a Taoist partner with Yun Miao and be with Yun Miao openly!
Yun Miao was speechless for a moment. She had been thinking about those problems these days, but she didn't expect that he had already arranged their future.
She snorted, "Since you defected from Xuantian Sect, you're a traitor. I won't marry a traitor."
"But if I don't betray Xuantian Sect, I won't be able to become your Taoist partner."
Xiao Hei pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't I stop being Elder Yuchen's disciple and become your master's disciple? Then I will be your junior apprentice. Senior sisters and junior apprentices are of the same generation and can become Taoist companions."
Yun Miao's face turned strange when he heard this. He wanted to laugh but was speechless at the same time. "If you dare to say this to my master directly, he will definitely beat you to death."
Good news: Chu Beiliang finally understands some ethics and morals.
The bad news: it's only half the story.
However, Yun Miao imagined the scene of Chu Beiliang following behind her and calling "Senior Sister, Senior Sister" while hugging her and lowering his head to rub her, and she thought that this was also pretty good.
So she hooked her arms around Heilang's neck and asked him to call her "Senior Sister" for her to hear.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Hei, who usually obeyed her in everything, did not do so immediately. Instead, he looked into her expectant eyes, thought for a moment, and said tentatively: "If you agree to become my Taoist partner, I will call you Senior Sister."
Yun Miao raised an eyebrow slightly. Comparing it to her first encounter with Chu Beiliang, she could truly sense the growth of the humanoid Chu Beiliang. Not only could he scare her, he'd also learned to seduce her. Unfortunately, his methods were too naive.
She pinched Xiao Hei's erect ears in a vicious manner: "Scream or not? If not, I won't hold you to sleep at night."
Xiao Hei pointed out seriously: "You are threatening, which is wrong."
Yun Miao nodded calmly: "Yes, I am threatening you, so are you going to scream or not?"
Xiao Hei: ...
The big black wolf's ears drooped and his head lowered: "Senior Sister."
"Hey. Good junior brother."
Yun Miao smiled and rubbed his head, the depression in her heart had long since dissipated. She looked at the drooping ears, and the more she looked at them, the more she liked them. She couldn't help but lean over and give them a kiss.
"I like you, too."
The tips of the big black wolf's ears trembled and then stood up quietly.
*
Qi Shubai has been very busy these days. Every time he takes time to visit Yun Miao, he can see her and the big black wolf inseparable. Although Yun Miao got along with the little wolf cubs in the same way before, ever since Qi Shubai knew that Xiao Hei was Chu Beiliang's clone, he felt that something was wrong when he looked at this picture again.
So he decisively gave the bored Yun Miao a task, trying to get her to go out and make some new friends instead of always playing with a wolf.
"The Lingming Buddhist disciple we rescued earlier has been in a bad mood these days and has been staying in his room. I'm afraid he has developed some inner demons. Junior Sister, could you help me enlighten him?"
Yun Miao was indeed bored, so she immediately said that she would take care of it, and then she quickly flew away on her flying sword.
As Qi Shubai expected, Yun Miao did not bring Xiao Hei with him. However, just when he turned his head to look at Xiao Hei with satisfaction and was about to judge Xiao Hei's expression.
Xiao Hei calmly watched Yun Miao disappear. Then he began to clear the honey and fruit bowl from the stone table. He then tended the vegetable garden, and finally, he began to clear the fallen leaves from the yard. It felt like the woman was in charge outside, and the wolf was in charge inside. He was truly a virtuous, big black wolf.
Qi Shubai: ...
Qi Shubai's eyes hurt from watching this, but he didn't know what to say. He could only say goodbye to this virtuous junior master helplessly and turned back to his own yard to rest.
Yun Miao flew all the way to Danfeng. Lingming Buddha was the little monk she saw in the Changsheng Sect cell that day. It was said that he was only thirteen years old. Because he was born with golden Buddha bones, he had excellent qualifications for learning Buddhism, so he was brought back to the temple by the abbot of Lingming Temple and taught carefully since he was a child.
Unfortunately, Lingming Temple was undercover from the Immortal Cult. Not only was this Buddhist disciple abducted by the Immortal Cult, but their golden Buddha bones were also dug out. Now, his cultivation is completely wasted, and his body is weaker than that of an ordinary mortal.
After Xuantian Sect rescued all the people in the cell, they sent the news to Lingming Temple, but the Buddha's body needed to be recuperated, and the traitor inside Lingming Temple had not been caught yet.
Therefore, the abbot of Lingming Temple replied with a message hoping that Xuantian Sect could temporarily help them take care of the Buddhist disciples, and then take them back after they were sure it was safe. A large sum of medical expenses was also attached to the letter.
For the sake of those glittering spirit stones, Tian Laokou slapped his thigh and agreed immediately.
Sect Master Chang also told Yun Miao about the traitor in Lingming Temple. The Changsheng Sect had been rooted for many years and had deep roots and thriving leaves. In order to collect information about immortal transformation and obtain more wealth for research, they had placed undercover agents in many sects. Even the Demon Sect had been infiltrated long ago.
Even some small sects have long been under their control and have become one of the strongholds of the Changsheng Sect.
These undercover agents were called turtledoves within the Changsheng Sect, meaning "a dove that takes over the magpie's nest." The traitor in Lingming Temple was a turtledove.
Those who secretly roamed around, stealing immortal molts and wealth, were called Dapeng. These people were scattered across the world, their movements extremely secretive, often not even knowing each other, relying only on special codes to identify themselves and communicate.
Ning Yu had told Yun Miao that the traitor who colluded with the Demon Cult was also a "turtledove". Even Sect Leader Chang and others suspected that the Demon Cult's attack on Xuantian Sect a thousand years ago might have been instigated by the Changsheng Cult.
It’s just because the Changsheng Sect involves the secret of spiritual energy tides, which cannot be revealed to the outside world, so the top leaders of the Xuantian Sect chose to suppress this secret.
After arriving at Danfeng, Yun Miao found that the door of the medicine house was closed, so he immediately knocked on the door and shouted.
"Uncle Master, I'm here to play with you. Open the door, open the door, I know you're home!"
The tightly closed bamboo door opened, and Tian Laokou sat in front of the huge alchemy furnace on the first floor. Without turning his head, he said, "What are you arguing about? I'm refining the elixir. If this furnace of elixir is ruined because of you, will you compensate me?"
"No money."
Yun Miao said that although her admiration for her uncle was as great as the sun and the moon, she had no money to give him and would never get any. It would be vulgar to talk about money in their relationship.
Tian Laokou snorted and laughed: "If you are stingy, you are stingy. You have a lot of excuses. If you keep going like this, you will probably have to change your name to Yun Laokou in the future."
Yun Miao immediately stated seriously that he would never steal his uncle's nickname. Yun Laokou didn't sound good, and Yun Dakou sounded better, as it sounded very imposing.
Tian Laokou: "...I think Yun Dasha is more imposing."
"I don't think so."
Yun Miao saw a plate of washed peaches on the table and took one without hesitation, chewing on it. "By the way, Uncle Master, where is that little monk? My brother asked me to come and talk to him."
Tian Laokou curled his lips and said, "Didn't you say you came to play with me? I know every word you say is true."
He pointed upstairs, indicating that the little monk was on the third floor. She had been listless these past few days, only able to close her eyes and recite scriptures, like a clay Buddha statue. If Yun Miao could enlighten her, it would be a great merit.
"Okay, just wait and see."
Yun Miao walked quickly towards the stairs, but after a few steps he walked back and took away the whole plate of peaches on the table.
Tian Laokou was speechless. He was indeed a pure-blooded monkey who could not resist the temptation of peaches at all.
Yun Miao jumped up to the third floor in a few jumps, pushed open the door of one of the rooms, and entered a dim room with closed windows. Light shone in from the open door, and she could see a little monk sitting upright on a bamboo bed.
He was thin and pale, with his hands clasped together and his eyes closed, muttering something. His voice was hoarse from overuse.
Yun Miao had made no effort to conceal his entrance, but the young monk seemed to have heard nothing, not even blinking. Just as Tian Laokou had said, he had become a clay Buddha statue.
She raised her hand and opened the tightly closed window, then sat down next to the little monk without any hesitation, looking at him curiously. Both her line of sight and her sitting position exceeded the distance that strangers should keep.
"Your name is Wufa, right? My name is Yunmiao."
"Your head is so round. It's a good shape. But it's not as good as my little Hei's."
"You don't have any hair on your head. Did you shave it off as soon as it grew back, or did you use some kind of magic?"
The little monk was very composed and ignored her completely.
Yun Miao narrowed his eyes and suddenly snorted coldly, "I thought the Buddhist disciples taught by Lingming Temple were so powerful, but in the end they are just... a little brat with no manners? What a waste of my time."
"Next time my master writes to Lingming Temple, I will definitely write about this incident and let your master teach you a lesson."
The little monk's eyelashes trembled. Following the sound of Yun Miao's footsteps as he walked towards the door, he finally opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't tell my master."
He paused and continued, "The reason your hair doesn't grow is because of some magic. If you want to learn, I can teach you."
Yun Miao paused and touched her hair: "No, I still prefer myself with hair."
She returned to her previous seat and noticed that the little monk had moved to the side because of her proximity. So she moved over without hesitation, and the little monk silently moved to the side again. Yun Miao followed him again, like a bad guy deliberately bullying a child.
The little monk finally stopped at the edge of the bamboo bed, with nowhere to retreat. He grew up in Lingming Temple and was taught and cared for by his teachers. He only knew how to recite scriptures and chant Buddha's name, and obviously did not know how to deal with this situation.
So he whispered that Yun Miao was a female donor and he was a monk, so she couldn't get so close to him.
Yun Miao: "Do you know what it means to be moved by the wind and the trees but not by your heart? As soon as you see a woman approaching, your mind starts to wander. Tsk tsk, little monk, your heart is not at peace."
The young monk was silent for a moment, and after a moment he whispered, "I've heard them talk about you."
Yun Miao: "Huh? Who? What did you say about me?"
Could he be secretly saying something bad about her? Then she would definitely go to Pi Xixi's and buy a bunch of raindrop pear blossom needles to spray them all with, so that every time they drank water, they would turn into showers.
The young monk still lowered his head. "Your Xuantian Sect's disciples said that after you were abducted by the Demon Cult, you secretly reported back to the Demon Cult's location and helped Xuantian Sect eradicate the Demon Cult and the Changsheng Cult. They like you very much and say that you are the Sect Master's personal disciple. As long as you give the order, they will support you as the next Sect Master."
"My senior brothers and sisters are as discerning as ever."
Yun Miao was proud for a moment, then looked at the little monk again: "So you are so depressed because the Buddha's bones were dug out and you can't become the next abbot of Lingming Temple?"
"Of course not!"
The little monk looked up suddenly, but then quickly lowered his head and remained silent.
"Why is that? Tell me."
Seeing that he had become silent again, Yun Miao poked his shoulder without any hesitation: "Hurry up and tell me, hurry up and tell me."
Little monk: "There's no point in saying it."
Yun Miao disagreed: "How can it be meaningless? I'm bored, and you saying it just makes me happy."
Little Monk: ...
The little monk couldn't help but steal a glance at the green-clothed female cultivator beside him. He couldn't believe that this person was the lively, cute, smart and kind Junior Sister Yun that the Xuantian Sect talked about.
