Daoist Bai Xue had been traveling in Ming Province for quite some time now.
It was said that the secular world was good for cultivation, and it was true. During this time, he had encountered many things and met many unforgettable people. Every one of them had left a deep impression on him.
For example, Horned Tiger Xie Zhi, who had been consumed by hatred all his life and could not and did not want to look back.
For example, General Zhao Yunlong, who was unparalleled to the ends of the earth.
For example, Strange Doctor Ping Yidao, who adhered to the benevolence of a doctor and did not regret his death.
For example, Zhang Jianyuan, the despicable, despicable, black-hearted, heartless, rich, and heartless bastard who sold stinky tofu, was beyond redemption.
Among these people, the one who left the deepest impression on him was a man named Sun Lang.
When they first met, he claimed to be a wanderer, but he did not look like a wanderer. His facial features were ever-changing and impossible to predict. A few glances at him would make one dizzy. His temperament was very strange. Sometimes he was as willful as a child, and sometimes he was as old as an old man. He had some ideas and ideas that were not something a young man of his age could have …
Because the art of physiognomy could not work, Daoist Bai Xue lost the tool to read people's minds. If he wanted to understand Sun Lang, he could only think and understand him through his words and actions. He felt that Sun Lang's image in his mind was like a cloudy mountain. He could not see clearly. Sun Lang always talked about life principles. They seemed vague, but every time he thought about them, he felt that they were very reasonable.
For example, Daoist Bai Xue now thought of a sentence that Sun Lang always said. Combined with the facts at hand, he felt that it was very reasonable.
— People just don't know. They can't predict.
If that was the case, even if he was a proud disciple of Zhengyang Palace, who was proficient in divination, he would never know why a fortune-telling Daoist of Zhengyang Palace would suddenly have the idea of enlightening a fated person in Mingzhou.
That's right, out of some inexplicable obsession, he seemed to have developed a strange interest in the person who had just spoken to him. Perhaps, this was a predestined fate.
Alas, I am also confused. Although I have decided to enlighten him, I still do not know his name.
The next time they meet, she must remember to ask him, "What's your name" or something.
The figure of that person appeared in Daoist Bai Xue's mind. He stroked his beard. Sigh, to think that I, Bai Xue, have cultivated for a long time and can be considered a top figure in the sect. Who in Zhengyang Palace doesn't know that this Daoist's prediction is absolute?
But today, some of my fellow disciples of the same age already have grand-disciples, but I'm still alone. When I'm being beaten up, I don't even have anyone to accompany me … I'm really very lonely.
However, the reason why he didn't take in a disciple was because the candidate's aptitude wasn't good enough. Secondly, it was because … fate hadn't arrived yet.
And today, this fate seems to have arrived. The moment I saw that person, I felt a sense of familiarity. It seems that there is a strong similarity between the two of us, and it is this similarity that attracts me. This humble Daoist pondered for a moment, and I think that the similarity is the desire for the Dao and the pursuit of kindness … That is the reason why this humble Daoist is the Dao and the pursuit of goodness …
"Amitayus Buddha …" He tidied his robe and bowed to Master Sanzang. "I have a sudden impulse to enlighten a fated person. Please help me."
This was an important matter related to the inheritance of a legacy. This reason was enough to make Sanzang of Tang Family hesitate. Cultivators saw through the secular world and ignored the affairs of the mortal world. There were few things that could move them. The inheritance of Dao and cultivation was the most important. If he interfered, he would be ruining the inheritance. Even Master Sanzang, who did not care about trifles, felt that this was very inappropriate.
She hesitated for a moment and asked suspiciously, "Senior Brother, you are not lying to me?"
Taoist Bai Xue did not say anything. He raised three fingers and said directly, "If I lie to you, I will fall into the hands of that bastard Zhang Jianyuan and be drowned in the stinky tofu vat!"
Seeing his solemn expression and desperate momentum, Master Sanzang couldn't help but shiver. Although she didn't know who Zhang Jianyuan was, and didn't know what stinky tofu was, she clearly felt that this fellow Daoist was serious. So, she thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "Good. Senior Martial Brother, this is what you said. If you lie, this poor nun will definitely catch you and hand you over to that benefactor Zhang. I will personally watch him soak you in the stinky tofu jar."
"…" Although he wasn't lying, Daoist White Snow still had a complicated look on his face. "Master, has anyone ever told you that you always say things that monks shouldn't say?"
Master Sanzang was a little confused, but she was not a person who wanted to get to the bottom of things. Hearing this, she just smiled. "Even so, I still have to make an appointment with you. Your injury has not healed, so I will accompany you to protect you."
Taoist Bai Xue promised, but in his heart, he laughed sinisterly. "Hmph, although I did not lie and also made an oath, I did not say that I would not plot against you. You evil monk, these days you have trapped me so hard. I will repay evil with good, and lead you to connect with Master Sun so that you can resolve your ill-fated relationship. You took the initiative to ask to accompany me. Hmph, when the time comes, you must enjoy it well …"
Fortunately, Master Sanzang did not practice the mind-reading technique. Otherwise, if she perceived Taoist Bai Xue's thoughts, that Nine Dragons Staff would be stained with Taoist Bai Xue's brain.
She mentioned two more agreements, and Taoist Bai Xue agreed to them one by one. In the end, Master Sanzang chose to compromise. He chanted the name of Buddha and smiled. "Then I will congratulate you in advance for finding a good disciple."
As he said that, a rare look of envy and embarrassment appeared on the face of the demonic monk of Dajue Temple. "I also want to teach a disciple, but I don't know when my fate will come …"
Taoist Bai Xue glanced at her and laughed in his heart. "Dream on. You don't look like a person who has disciples. Your children are quite prosperous. Good luck to your children. You are good at giving birth. You should quickly return to the secular world and get married."
But even people like Taoist Bai Xue knew that there were some words that could not be said.
He closed his mouth and did not mention it, but he heard Master Sanzang knock on his head with a confused expression. He said softly, "But I vaguely feel that I seemed to have three disciples before, but I can't remember clearly. I feel that those memories are shrouded in a cloud and I can't see clearly. I asked the elders in the sect, but they refused to tell me. They just told me that what happened yesterday can't be traced and held …"
Taoist Bai Xue's expression changed. He faintly thought of a taboo thing that his master accidentally mentioned. He felt a chill in his heart and said with a smile, "Master, we should be on our way."
Master Sanzang also came to his senses. He restrained his confusion and helplessness and turned back into the brave and energetic evil monk of Dajue Temple. She nodded. "Where shall we go first?"
The Taoist Bai Xue said, "That Mr. Qin has bad intentions toward Master Sun. No matter what we want to do, we have to do our duty as friends first. Let's inform him to guard against this and be careful … Let's go to the Immortal Fishing House first."
Tang Family's Sanzang immediately showed a vigilant expression and looked at the Taoist Bai Xue with suspicious eyes. "Senior Brother, you won't go directly to Master Sun and sell me out, will you?"
In the context of Master Sanzang, "sell me out" meant "betrayal". It meant that Priest Bai Xue had made a promise to Master Sanzang, but he turned around and went back on his word to seek refuge with Sun Lang, asking him to take him in and resist Master Sanzang. But in the ears of Priest Bai Xue, who had a guilty conscience, it obviously made him feel guilty. Wasn't he planning to sell this demon monk to Master Sun?
"Ahaha, ahahahaha, ahahahahaha …" He laughed a few times. "Am I such a person?
It's just that we have to do this. We must remind Master Sun to be on guard. It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but difficult to guard against a stab in the dark. Besides, I've made that kind of oath. Master Sanzang, you still don't believe me? "
Although Master Sanzang's combat power was as high as six Hanzangs, much higher than Taoist Bai Xue who sold his mouth, but in terms of bluffing and deceiving people, he was really inferior. He was quickly convinced by Taoist Bai Xue.
The two people rushed towards the direction of the Fishing Immortal Building. However, to Taoist Bai Xue's disappointment, the Fishing Immortal Building was guarded by iron generals. Master Sun and his wives were nowhere to be found. He walked in circles on the spot a few times and was a little anxious. "Strange, usually even if Master Sun isn't here, Miss Zhang will look after the house. If not, that chrysanthemum spirit will also stay behind. Why aren't they here?"
Master Sanzang was previously persuaded by Sun Lang to be Miss Zhao's bodyguard for a period of time. With Miss Zhao's diplomatic skills, the two people must have formed a basic friendship. Seeing that Sun Lang wasn't here, the Taoist Bai Xue suggested, "Then how about we go to Marquis Jingan Manor?
Miss Zhao admires Benefactor Sun, maybe she has news of his whereabouts. "
Taoist Bai Xue pondered for a moment and shook his head. "No, no, didn't that Qin guy say that he lives in Marquis Jingan Manor?
If we go to his door like this, we will most likely alert him and attract his attention. It won't be good. We have to first think of a foolproof plan. En, let me think, let me think … … hey!
I got it! "
He looked at Master Sanzang and smiled brightly. "I almost forgot, Master Sun and the head of Mingzhou's Ranger Association, Hu Shouxin, are close friends. Why don't we go find Master Sun and tell him about this and ask him to help us pass the message. Speaking of which, this old man also has some friendship with Master Sun. Last time when I was injured, it was thanks to him that I received treatment … …"
Tang family's Sanzang didn't know much about Hu Shouxin. She only instinctively felt that it wasn't right for Sun Lang and Marquis Jingan fu's matter to involve an outsider that he didn't want to do. She casually asked: "Is there no problem?"
"What problem can there be? You don't know how strong the friendship between Master Sun and Master Sun is!"
The Taoist Bai Xue smiled brightly and gave a thumbs up. "Let me tell you, once Master Sun knows, this matter will be settled!"
