Chapter 237 Master, a person must dare to love and hate, just like my father
Full of memories.
Lin Fan was stunned for a long time. He heard the storyteller's voice and saw the other party pointing at him from a distance, "Look at this Taoist priest's outfit. It has some resemblance to Taoist priest Xuan Dian, but lacks a bit of momentum."
The storyteller took out a portrait and carefully unfolded it. The people around couldn't wait to look at it. The person in the portrait was Xuan Dian, but this Xuan Dian looked different from the real Xuan Dian.
The Xuan Dian in the portrait has a long beard and a majestic look.
This portrait was created by later generations based on the appearance on the wanted poster, with some minor changes made over the years, such as adding a beard to make the Taoist priest look more majestic.
"Let's go to the mountain." Lin Fan couldn't wait to see his senior brother. He wondered if his senior brother was doing well after all these years, and whether the relationship between him and his master's wife was as pure as before.
Walking on the familiar mountain path, the surrounding scenery has obviously been repaired, and the steps under your feet are all made of large stones.
Not long after, we reached the top and the Taoist temple appeared before our eyes.
"The power of incense."
Lin Fan opened the Eye of Merit and observed, and he did not expect that the Chaotian Taoist Temple also had the power of incense. More importantly, the incense contained dragon energy and the good fortune of the court.
That is to say, in addition to the incense provided by the people in the past, the emperor today would also come here to burn incense, and gradually the dragon energy would gather.
'Chaotian Taoist Temple'
Lin Fan looked at the four words on the door lintel, walked to the door and knocked. The "dong dong dong" sound was very loud in the quiet mountains. No one paid any attention to him, so he continued to knock on the door, and the "dong dong" sound echoed.
A long time passed.
"Who is it? Can't we sleep so early in the morning?" A somewhat old voice came from inside the door, and footsteps gradually approached. When the door opened, Xuan Yang wanted to say a few words, but when he saw Xuan Dian appearing at the door, he froze in place, as if he couldn't believe it. He rubbed his eyes and stared, "Master, Junior Brother..."
“Haha…” Lin Fan was overjoyed and gave Xuan Yang a big hug. “Brother, long time no see. How come you look so old? I left a lot of good things for you. Don’t say you didn’t practice.”
The senior brother is still the same senior brother as before, still fat, with a round face and compact features, but the years have left deep marks and wrinkles on his face.
His cultivation level is still at the third level of Qi Refining, and he has not made any progress at all.
Xuan Yang, who was being hugged, was stiff all over and his mind was blank. Decades of good life made him forget many troubles. He thought about everything, but he never thought that his junior brother would appear in front of him after his ascension.
Letting go of his senior brother, Lin Fan looked at him with a smile in his eyes and patted his senior brother on the shoulder, "Senior brother, it's been decades since we last met. You really haven't changed at all. Are you so excited to see your junior brother back that you can't speak?"
At this moment, Xuan Yang came back to his senses, "Junior brother, why are you back?"
"I missed you, so I came back to see you."
"Ah? If you've ascended, you can still ascend back?"
"Of course. Let's not talk about this for now. Take me inside to have a look. I haven't been back for so long. Everything seems so familiar yet strange."
Xuan Yang was still confused about his fellow apprentice's return, but he still led the way. The Taoist temple had obviously been renovated and was much better than before.
There are many more buildings, such as the main hall, which didn't exist before.
"Senior Brother, the Wang family has been very good to our Taoist temple." Lin Fan said.
Xuan Yang said: "Thanks to my junior brother, the court has been very good to our Chaotian Taoist Temple. Even Master's tomb has been repaired. It is very magnificent and majestic. If Master is still alive, he must be very pleased."
“Alas.” Lin Fan sighed softly, “If my master had not fallen into the evil ways, he would have seen it with his own eyes.”
"Yeah yeah."
Xuan Yang echoed, and the two of them tacitly regarded the master's death as the reason why the master turned to evil. It didn't matter what the truth was. What mattered was that they had already acknowledged this.
"Junior brother, how have you been in the upper realm these years?" Xuan Yang asked.
Lin Fan said, "It's not bad. I just killed demons and monsters, enforced justice, and destroyed a few sects. It's not that difficult. Are you and your mistress doing well? Do you have children?"
"Got it, a boy and a girl." Xuan Yang looked happy.
Luo Yu and Qian Kunzi, who were following behind, stared with their eyes wide open, doubting whether they had heard it wrongly. My goodness, what earth-shattering thing did they hear?
Senior Brother, Senior Wife? Speaking of them separately, it's fine, and it's also fine when they are mixed together, but what's the situation with the child? Do people from your world play so wildly? "Husband, who is it?" A lazy voice came.
Soon, the relatively young-looking master's wife appeared. She used to have a snake-like face, but for some reason, after decades, her face shape had really changed, becoming much softer and gentler.
Lin Fan opened the Eye of Merit, and his master's wife seemed very normal, without any resentment. When he left the Taoist temple for the first time, he called his master's wife a monster. If it weren't for his senior brother's pleading, how could he just leave it alone.
"Master's wife." Lin Fan spoke.
"Ah? Xuan Dian..." When the master's wife saw Lin Fan, she was obviously frightened. If she had to say who she was most afraid of now, it must be Xuan Dian. Even though Xuan Dian had ascended for so long, she still felt fear in her heart.
"Time has really changed Master's Wife a lot." Lin Fan sighed, then looked at Xuan Yang, "Brother, let's go see Master. I have a lot to say to Master."
"oh."
Soon, everyone prepared their things and headed towards the cemetery, bringing incense, candles, and paper money. Luo Yu and the others followed them happily, as if they had never seen the world before. It was exciting, really too exciting.
He once imagined what a Taoist temple would be like if he could teach Taoist Master Xuan Dian.
Looking at it now, it’s really hard to describe.
In front of the cemetery.
Lin Fan knelt in front of the tombstone, "Master, I am back. Now the Taoist temple is in good hands with my senior brother and his wife, and it is flourishing. You can rest assured. I have something to tell you. When I was in the upper realm, I encountered a strong enemy, and the axe of righteousness that Master had blessed for me was broken. I wanted to come back and borrow the one in my senior brother's hand to help me slay the demons and monsters."
Miaomiao and Daji were secretly wiping away their tears.
"The Taoist priest really respects teachers and values morality."
Luo Yu and Qian Kunzi looked at each other, both of them staring at each other, looking very confused.
When Xuan Yang heard that his junior brother came back for the axe, he quickly said, "Don't worry, junior brother, I have kept the axe in good condition and will give it to you later."
“Thank you, senior brother.” Lin Fan nodded. Although his senior brother was weak, he was still a senior brother. How could he mess up the seniority because of his level of cultivation?
The worship is over.
Everyone returned to the Taoist temple. At this time, at the foot of the mountain, there was a handsome man in Taoist robes. He looked very imposing, and next to him was a woman in monk robes. She was a bald nun.
"Husband, will my parents dislike me?" the nun asked nervously.
The man waved his hands and said, "No, my parents are reasonable. How could they dislike you? After all, you and I are true love. How can we be bound by these worldly rules? Besides, your ancestor, Master Xue, is very satisfied with me. She said that my Chaotian Taoist Temple is the first of the righteous ways in the world. My Master Xuandian has great merits in saving the people. As long as Master Xuandian's kindness is still there, no one in the world can restrain us."
"Yeah." The nun nodded, feeling much more relieved.
"Let's go up the mountain. I have found all the materials for my parents this time. I can make them the Ten-fold Tonic Pill, which can also extend their lifespan by 20 to 30 years." said the man.
at this time.
Lin Fan, who was talking to his senior brother, suddenly stopped and looked towards the door, and saw two figures appear.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back."
The man held his wife's hand and strode towards the Taoist temple. When he saw so many people there, he was obviously stunned. It was obvious that he did not expect that there would be so many people in the Taoist temple today.
But he didn't care. From the moment he was born, he knew that his Taoist temple was extraordinary.
The famous and righteous people in the world were extremely respectful to him, and even loved him to the extreme, as if they were placing an emotion on him that did not belong to him.
When he was young, he would always stir up trouble. Once when he was taken to the palace, he almost set the palace on fire. If it had been someone else, he would have been sentenced to death. But an old man at the time said that he was worthy of being the nephew of that old man, as he dared to do and admit his mistakes, and that there would be successors to the righteous path.
When Lin Fan saw the other person's appearance, he was obviously stunned. Isn't this the real appearance of his senior brother?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Brother has become what he is today because of his practice.
My senior brother’s true appearance is very handsome. Upon closer inspection, I see that he has reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, which is quite rare nowadays. It seems that my senior brother did not practice what I left behind, but left it to his children.
"My nephew is so big now. He and I are really cut from the same cloth." Lin Fan said with a smile.
Luo Yu and the others looked at the man, then at Xuan Yang, and wanted to ask the Taoist priest if he could stop lying. How could this person look the same? The man looked at Lin Fan in confusion. He didn't recognize him at first glance, but when he looked at him the second time, he was shocked, "Master...Master."
Xuan Yang said, "Why don't you come over and pay your respects to your uncle-master? This is the uncle-master Xuan Dian that you have been dreaming about."
As soon as these words came out.
The man slid to his knees in front of Lin Fan, kowtowed and shouted, "Nephew pays homage to Uncle Xuandian."
"Get up." Lin Fan helped him up and patted his shoulder with satisfaction. "Not bad, not bad. You have inherited the true teachings of the method that Master left behind before he ascended to heaven. Unlike your father, he has only cultivated to the third level of Qi Refining. From now on, this Chaotian Taoist Temple will depend on you."
"Yes, uncle." Jingyi said respectfully.
He is Xuan Yang's son, belonging to the next generation of Chaotian Taoist Temple, and his generation is Jing.
"Who is this?" Lin Fan looked at the young nun, as if he had some ideas in mind, but he still wanted to ask.
Jingyi said shyly, "Uncle Master, this is my nephew's beloved. I met her at Xue'an Temple when I went down the mountain. We hit it off right away, so I opened my heart to her and told her what was on my mind."
At this moment, Lin Fan was stunned, and Master Gui Wu was also stunned.
Luo Yu and Qian Kunzi opened their mouths slightly.
no.
It’s such a mess. It’s really such a mess.
Taoists and nuns are getting together, is this really something they can see?
Lin Fan smiled and looked at Master Gui Wu, then asked, "Is Master Xue all right?"
The nun was obviously aware of Xuan Dian's reputation, and said in a reserved but respectful manner, "The Grandmaster is well, but he doesn't have much time left. I have often heard the Grandmaster mention the name of Master Xuan Dian. The world is so peaceful now, and it is all thanks to Master Xuan Dian's efforts."
Lin Fan waved his hands modestly and said, "No, no, a large part of these achievements belong to Master Gui Wu."
Hearing the name of Guiwu, the nun turned her head and said with some resentment, "Master, the Patriarch is always thinking of you, don't you go to see the Patriarch?"
I'm going to...
Luo Yu was completely furious and looked at Gui Wu in horror. He didn't expect that Master Gui Wu, who seemed to be the most serious, actually had a problem.
"Amitabha." Gui Wu was also confused. He really didn't expect the other party to speak so bluntly.
This revealed the only thing that was inconsistent with his identity.
What's more, my disciple is still around, so can he please give me some face?
"Amitabha, Amitabha." Jiekong shook his head with disgust, and his eyes seemed to reveal disappointment when he looked at the master, as if to say, Master, as a high-ranking Buddhist monk, how can you break such a precept? This is totally incompatible with your identity.
Jingyi hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet. He just felt that what his wife said was so right. "Master, as a person, you must dare to love and hate. For example, my father loves my mother. Even though my mother is my father's master's wife, he can still bravely join his uncle to kill the master and snatch my mother away."
Xuan Yang nodded and said, "My son's words make sense. I just couldn't bear to see Master's wife suffer, so I killed Master after hearing what Junior Brother said."
The mistress patted Xuan Yang shyly, "You old man, why are you saying these things to a child? Really, it makes people laugh."
Xuan Yang grabbed Master's wife's hand and said, "Master's wife, I love you sincerely, I am not afraid of being laughed at."
Luo Yu looked up at the sky.
Qian Kunzi looked down at the ground.
Their faces were twitching and they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
Changuang looked at his master and always felt that something was wrong, but for a moment he just felt his brain was empty and a little dazed, and he couldn't quite come back to his senses.
Lin Fan looked at Gui Wu and said, "Master, since we are back, let's go and take a look. Some things still need to be resolved. Think about it, you have reached the upper realm, and your cultivation has stagnated after reaching a certain level. I think this is caused by mental illness."
Gui Wu looked at Xuan Dian, then looked at everyone at the scene.
Everyone nodded at him.
Miaomiao and Daji clenched their fists and cheered him up, which made Guiwu regretful. Why did he have to go back to the underworld with Xuandian? Originally, only Xuandian knew about this, but now everyone knows it.
This...is this really okay?
"Amitabha, I'm in a hurry, I'll be back soon." Guiwu left in a hurry, not wanting to stay here for too long.
As the master's figure disappeared.
Lin Fan raised a smile. Others might not know, but he knew that the master had gone far away, apparently to find the nun. But it was okay, solving things that had not been thoroughly resolved was also a kind of practice.
