Mu Lingjiu also found it strange. The number of young monks in Cangzhou was indeed more than that in other places. The teenage monks gathered in groups, talking and laughing, full of energy.
Faced with such vibrant vitality, Mu Lingjiu suddenly felt old.
"Junior sister, would you like to go to Hehuan Hall with us?" A young male cultivator stood in front of Mu Lingjiu with a smile.
He has a very nice smile and a fresh look, and he holds a red rope in his hand.
Mu Lingjiu glanced at the red string and asked, "What is this?"
"This is a rope of love. If the ropes of love between the two of us can entwine themselves together, then we are destined to be together and can develop into Taoist companions." The young man explained seriously.
Mu Lingjiu frowned, "Sorry, not interested."
The young man curled his lips in disappointment, "Ah, failed again. Why is it so difficult to find a Taoist partner?"
Feng Yuexian poked her head out. "Why do you insist on finding a Taoist companion? How can you cultivate peacefully even if you find one?"
"Practice?" The young man laughed at himself. "What kind of practice can I do with my talent?"
Feng Yuexian then took a look at the young man. He had three spiritual roots and a very poor physical constitution. With such qualifications, it was very likely that he would only become a great spiritual master in his lifetime.
Currently, this young man’s cultivation level is only that of a spiritual master.
"So all of you are here to find a Taoist partner?" Feng Yuexian pointed at the street.
"I'm not sure, but it's probably both." The young man said as he fixed his gaze on Feng Yuexian. "Are you interested in going to Hehuan Hall with me?"
"Me?" Feng Yuexian exploded. "You just flirted with my junior sister, and now you're interested in me? Isn't that too casual?"
The young man scratched his head and said, "Even if we go to Hehuan Hall, it may not succeed. Most people fail. I'm just trying."
"Oh?" Feng Yuexian became interested again and looked at the boy eagerly.
The boy explained, "Each of us has our own love rope, but most ropes don't get tangled together. Only those who are truly loyal and righteous will get tangled together."
"There is such a saying? It's not a lie, right?" Feng Yuexian became a little interested.
"Well, this is the secret technique of the Hehuan Sect, and it is absolutely authentic. Any two people who are entangled with a rope will surely grow old together." The young man looked confident.
"Is there anyone who lives together until old age?" Feng Yuexian asked.
"Yes, the leader and his wife of the Hehuan Sect met in this way. They are already two hundred years old, and they are still in love and in harmony, which is the envy of others."
The young man tempted Feng Yuexian, "How about we give it a try? I think we might be destined to be together."
"No, no, no." Feng Yuexian waved her hands quickly. She really didn't want to go.
Seeing this, the boy did not force it, "Okay, I'll leave. You can call me when you need me."
Feng Yuexian felt a chill and quickly grabbed Mu Lingjiu, "Junior Sister, let's go quickly. Everyone here has been bewitched by the Hehuan Sect."
Soon the two of them left the street, and Mu Lingjiu said, "Let's go to the Mu family's old house first."
"Eh?" Feng Yuexian was stunned for a moment, then realized, "The Empress's hometown is also a tourist attraction. Now that you mention it, I want to go see it too!"
The two of them headed towards the Mu family's old house. There were garrisons guarding the door and no one else was allowed to enter.
Seeing two women appear at the door, everyone in the Mu family looked at them with intimidation.
"It seems I can't get in." Feng Yuexian looked disappointed.
Mu Lingjiu only took a quick look and when he was about to leave, he saw a very exquisite carved crystal carriage appear outside the door of the Mu family's old house.
Seeing the carriage, the guards of the Mu family all knelt down to salute.
"Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen."
Mrs. Chen? Mr. Chen?
Mu Lingjiu didn't remember that there was such a person in the Mu family, and stood aside watching curiously.
A man and a woman walked out of the carriage. One of them looked handsome and suave, while the other was delicate and beautiful.
Mu Lingjiu had some impression of these two people, the leader of the Hehuan Sect, Chen Youxin, and his wife Liu Yunyun.
In the previous life, the people of Hehuan Sect almost captured Mu Lingjiu to make a cauldron, so they became enemies. After Mu Lingjiu died, the two disappeared and hid. Unexpectedly, after she died, they actually jumped out.
Not only did he emerge, but he also holds such a high status in the Mu family!
A man and a woman walked out of the carriage, looking very clingy, smiling, and arrogant. They looked at the Mu family guards as if they were ants, and then slowly walked into the Mu family.
The Mu family guards dared to stand up only after the two men entered. They had no expression on their faces and their heads hung low.
"Who are these two people from the Mu family?" Feng Yuexian asked Mu Lingjiu.
Mu Lingjiu didn't know what the relationship was between the Hehuan Sect and the Mu family, but he felt that it was not that simple.
The Hehuan Sect originally had no relationship with the Mu family. When Mu Lingjiu was a child, the Mu family was just a declining family, and a large sect like the Hehuan Sect did not take the Mu family seriously.
At that time, the Hehuan Sect was capturing beautiful women everywhere to serve as furnaces to improve their cultivation. The leader of the Hehuan Sect, Chen Youxin, did this many times, but he unexpectedly became a role model of love for young people.
She felt that there was something fishy about the Hehuan Rope incident, so she said to Feng Yuexian, "Senior Sister, let's go to the Hehuan Sect and take a look."
Feng Yuexian didn't know what it was about, but she liked to watch the fun, so she readily agreed.
Soon the two arrived at the crowded Hehuan Sect. Mu Lingjiu disguised himself as a young boy and stood next to Feng Yuexian, who had disguised herself as a girl, and easily blended in.
Mu Lingjiu found out that everyone who came here was here to see if they were destined to be together.
"What will happen if we are destined to be together?" Mu Lingjiu asked.
The person next to him said, "Those who are destined to meet each other will receive blessings from the Hehuan Sect and be given ten thousand taels of gold."
No wonder...
Mu Lingjiu could understand why they were queuing up.
Ten thousand taels of gold is a considerable sum of money for ordinary people, enough to provide a family with a comfortable life.
However, this is not very attractive to cultivators. Ten thousand taels of gold are equivalent to one hundred spirit stones. Only cultivators with low cultivation will be interested in it.
Therefore, most of those queuing up are people with low cultivation, and none of them have the strength above the Spirit King level.
The behavior of the Hehuan Sect makes people feel even more strange.
"When did the Hehuan Sect start doing this?"
"Two months ago." The monk next to him was a little distressed. "I have come here several times, but I have not been successful. I hope to succeed soon."
"Then congratulations." Mu Lingjiu.
Mu Lingjiu and Feng Yuexian squeezed for a long time before they reached the viewing seat. They could see two cultivators, a man and a woman, putting their red ropes into a basin and using their own spiritual energy to nourish the red ropes. Sometimes the red ropes could entangle with each other, but sometimes they couldn't.
After observing for most of the day, Mu Lingjiu noticed something strange.
"Fourth Senior Sister, did you see anything?"
"What?" Feng Yuexian picked her nose. "I think this is a bit magical. Does the Hehuan Sect really have a way to determine whether two people are compatible?"
"Fourth Senior Sister..." Mu Lingjiu sighed, "Haven't you noticed that only cultivators with water attributes in their bones can activate the rope to entangle?"
