The three of them turned their heads to look at the same time, and saw a figure drenched in water, like a drowned chicken, stepping on a green flying sword, galloping towards this side, but it was Wu Ming.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, Fellow Daoist Bai, I'm really sorry, it's all my fault, I was negligent, and the boat crashed into the reef, causing the two of you to touch the formation mechanism by mistake, please forgive me." Wu Ming hurriedly Explaining, while bowing to the two of them to the end.

Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian's expressions remained unchanged, they just watched him coldly, watching him perform over there alone.

Wei Qing frowned as he watched from the side, and from the reactions of the two of Shen Luo, he already noticed something was wrong.

At this moment, a long-bearded old man in a gray robe flew from the distant sea and landed beside them.

"Senior Brother Xiao Wei is also here, what happened just now, why did you set off the Water Beard Formation?" The man said as soon as he saw Wei Qing, he saluted first.

"Elder Yu, let Wu Ming tell you." Wei Qing saluted and said.

The elder surnamed Yu frowned slightly, and looked at Wu Ming, who had no choice but to repeat what he had said before.

After listening to his words, Elder Yu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Since you also made an unintentional mistake, then don't pursue it this time, why don't you hurry up and apologize to the two fellow Taoists."

"Fellow Daoist Shen, Fellow Daoist Bai, this time it was all my negligence, please forgive me." Hearing this, Wu Ming immediately bowed down and said.

Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian glanced at each other, but neither of them spoke.

"Since fellow martial artist has apologized repeatedly, and we haven't suffered any injuries, let's forget it this time. I think you will be more careful when you come to fellow martial artist, and won't hurt anyone else." Just when the atmosphere gradually fell into embarrassment, Shen Luo said slowly.

"No, no..." Wu Ming clenched his teeth while speaking.

"Since there is nothing to do, why don't you send the two fellow Taoists to Youran Valley to check in?" Elder Yu glanced at Wu Ming and said.

"Yes." Wu Ming replied.

"Forget it, you go back to Xingzi Island, these two fellow Taoists, I will personally lead these two friends to Youran Valley." At this moment, Wei Qing said suddenly.

"Senior Brother Xiao Wei, you are the elder of the sect, this is unreasonable..." Elder Yu hesitated.

"Don't dare to trouble Uncle Wei, I will send the two fellow Taoists with all my heart." Wu Ming said hastily, his forehead already sweating.

Shen Luo and the two were also a little surprised.

"That's it, two fellow Taoists, please come with me." After Wei Qing finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a blue flying shuttle appeared in front of him.

"Then it's time to work." Shen Luo and the two clasped their fists in thanks, and boarded the shuttle.

The three of them rose directly from the sky and flew towards the main island of Mount Putuo.

"Are you guys old acquaintances with that Wu Ming?" Wei Qing asked directly after flying a hundred feet away.

Shen Luo thought about it for a while, and felt that there was nothing to hide, so he said bluntly: "I saw it in Chang'an, and there was some friction."

"So this time he made things difficult on purpose?" Wei Qing asked.

"This..." Seeing that he was so direct, Shen Luo felt a little uncomfortable talking.

"Wu Ming's aptitude is not very good, but his family background is prominent, and he still has some contacts in the Putuo Mountain Gate. He has always been narrow-minded, and it is impossible to guarantee that he will not make trouble again. You should stay as far away from him as possible. .” Wei Qing actually already had the answer, and then continued.

"Thank you, senior, for reminding me." Shen Luo could tell the kindness naturally, and said immediately.

"You can still call him Daoist friend, we should be about the same age." Wei Qing said.

"Fellow Daoist... Didn't that elder call you senior brother just now?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.

"I am an elder with a higher seniority in the sect, and I am a closed disciple with income, so my seniority has been raised a lot. You are not Putuo disciples, so you don't need to worry about these." Wei Qing said.

While the few people were talking, they had already landed on land, and a large number of houses and buildings had been built along the coast below. The more they went to the mountainous area in the center of the island, the more dense the number of houses became.

However, Wei Qing didn't seem to have any intention of landing there, but directly drove the shuttle to the mountain, and finally landed at the mouth of a valley formed by the extension of two ridges.

On the raised mountain wall of the valley, there are three characters "Youran Valley" engraved in regular script.

"The disciples from other sects who participated in the Fairy Apricot Conference this time are all arranged to temporarily live in this leisurely valley. You can follow me to the valley affairs cabinet to register and choose a residence in the valley." Wei Qing said.

"Thank you." Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian thanked again.

The few people walked along the bluestone path all the way to the valley, and met many ordinary people who were doing handyman in the valley along the way. When they saw Wei Qing, they did not feel the slightest sense of fear, but greeted him one after another. , Call "Wei Xianshi".

Wei Qing also responded to them one by one, without deliberate enthusiasm or concealed alienation, it seemed very natural.

This surprised both Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian.

Chapter 0795

"Wei... Fellow Daoist, I don't understand one thing. Why are there so many ordinary servants in Mount Putuo?" Shen Luo asked.

"Guests who come to Putuo Mountain have this doubt. After all, even if other sects do chores, most of them are done by outer sect disciples. It is rare to accommodate so many ordinary people." Wei Qing said without the slightest surprise .

"Yes, as far as I know, most of the sects' mountain gates try to avoid too much interaction with mortals, and this is exactly what I don't understand." Shen Luo said, Bai Xiaotian on the side didn't speak, On his face was a deeply appreciative look.

"Ordinary people who can come here, either yearn for the Buddhadharma wholeheartedly, or are deeply in the sea of ​​suffering and cannot escape. Naturally, they come here to seek the Buddha and seek relief. However, there are also some people who hope that they can be lucky enough to be favored by the immortal master and be able to escape. It's a pity that such a chance is too slim for the idea of ​​practicing Zen." Wei Qing's mouth twitched slightly, and he said slowly.

"So that's the case. As the saying goes, 'Humanity is insignificant, immortality is vast', it is probably so." Shen Luo said deeply.

While chatting casually, the three of them walked hundreds of feet along the Qingshi Mountain Road. After passing through a narrow passage, the terrain in front suddenly opened up, and a flat mountain valley appeared, with two-storey single houses built inside. cabin.

Not far from these wooden houses, the only palace building on the top of the hill was built, standing not far from the narrow passage.

Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian followed Wei Qing to the main hall, and they saw a desk inside. A fat middle-aged steward was sitting there. When they saw Wei Qing leading two people in, they immediately got out of the chair. Stand up with a "whoosh".

"Uncle Wei, why did you come to Youran Valley?" The fat steward straightened the hat that had almost slipped off his head, and said with some panic.

"It's nothing, send the two fellows from other sects who came to participate in the Fairy Apricot Conference to register, and arrange a residence for them." Wei Qing said calmly without any change in expression.

"Oh, it turned out to be a distinguished guest from another sect. Uncle Wei, don't worry, since you sent it yourself, this disciple will treat you well." The fat steward rubbed his hands and flattered him.

"They... Forget it, I'll leave it to you." Seeing that he had misunderstood, Wei Qing deliberately explained, but felt that it was unnecessary.

After finishing speaking, he said his farewell, turned around and left the palace gate, and left in a hurry.

Seeing his figure disappear into the end of his sight, the smile on the face of the fat steward did not decrease by half, and he carefully asked Shen Luo and the other two:

"Dare to ask the two fellow Taoists, who is Master Wei's?"

"It's not someone, we just met Senior Wei today." Shen Luo replied casually.

"That's weird..." The obese manager was a little surprised when he heard this.

"What's so strange about this?" Bai Xiaotian asked with a frown.

"You don't know, this Uncle Wei Qing has always been very indifferent. Apart from practicing in the sect, he seldom cares about anything. Like today, he personally brought you to the leisurely valley, which has never been seen before." The obese steward smiled "hehe" and said.

Hearing this, Shen Luo and the two were also a little surprised, and they were a little more interested in Wei Qing.

"Senior Wei doesn't look like that. Many people greeted him along the way, and they seemed friendly." Shen Luo said intentionally.

"This... most of the people you see are ordinary people, right?" Fat steward asked after a little hesitation.

"Not bad." Shen Luo nodded.

The fat steward grinned, showing some understanding, and said:

"This is another strange thing. Martial Uncle Wei never smiles at the practitioners in his sect. He only occasionally stops to say a few words when he meets ordinary people."

"The so-called Dao is different and does not conspire with each other. It is true that the immortal masters on the mountain rarely get close to ordinary people, but it is nothing unusual, it is not too strange." Shen Luo laughed.

"Hehe, you shouldn't, you shouldn't..." The fat steward patted himself on the face, a little regretful.

"Senior Wei Qing has a unique temperament, which makes people feel fascinated, and we are all expressing our admiration, so it's not unreasonable." Shen Luo said with a smile.

"That's right, that's right, what this fellow Taoist said is right, it's not false." Hearing this, the obese steward had a smile on his face.

"Senior, how do we register?" Shen Luo asked.

"Just hand over your tokens to me, and I'll record your names and sects in the book." Fat steward said.

"Junior Shen Luo, this time he is here on behalf of the Tang government." Shen Luo said, handing over his token.

"Junior Bai Xiaotian, from Huasheng Temple." After finishing speaking, Bai Xiaotian also took out his token and handed it to the steward.

The steward took the tokens of the two people, checked them and found nothing unusual, then recorded the information of the two people in the register.

"This is the map of the Leisurely Valley. You two can take a look and choose a residence you like on it." While talking, the fat steward brought another long scroll.

He spread the scroll on the table, and after a burst of smoke rose from the scroll, a miniature version of Youran Valley appeared on the scroll, and every house and building in it appeared vividly on it.

"These red attic buildings have already been selected by others, and the rest are for you to choose." The fat steward continued.

Shen Luo took a look. There were more than a hundred attic buildings in the valley, most of which were concentrated in the flattest area in the center of the valley, and only a few were scattered on the cliffs and raised mountains in the valley.

In the better place in the center of the valley, four or five attics have already turned pure red, while the rest are like white-painted scrolls without coloring.

"How about these two?" Shen Luo asked after looking at the two adjacent attics on a mountain.

"I don't care, just listen to you." Bai Xiaotian glanced at it and said casually.

"You two have really good eyesight. The two lofts are the highest. Standing on the second floor, you can have a panoramic view of the valley. The view is excellent." The fat steward heard this and said with a smile.

"Then these two, thank you senior." Shen Luo said.

"Okay." The fat steward nodded, took out a white jade seal from his waist, and pressed it on each of the two houses.

There was no ink pad on the seal, and the moment it fell, the two attics turned bright red.

"It's done. The houses here are cleaned by handymen all year round, and the two of you can just move in directly." The fat steward said.

Chapter 0796 Wu Ming's Request

At the same time, on the Baizhang cliff facing the sea on the main island of Putuo Mountain, Yishan built an exquisite two-story attic with gorgeous carvings on the corners and cornices, which is very pleasing to the eye.

There is also a cliff platform in front of the attic, like a courtyard in front of a house, with a crabapple tree planted next to it, and a young man in white clothes is sitting beside a stone table under the tree.

His eyes are deep, his face is handsome, the corners of his eyes and nose are sharp and angular, his black hair is pulled up high, bound by a jade crown inlaid with purple gold, he looks clean and heroic.

At this moment, he was gently rubbing a white jade teacup in his hand, listening to the babbling of the person beside him, his brows gradually showed an impatient attitude.

The person next to him seemed to be unaware, and continued to say: "Senior brother Zhou Yu, you must help me teach those two people a lesson this time, otherwise I really can't swallow this breath..."

"Pa", before the man finished speaking, the white jade teacup was smashed heavily on the stone table.

To some surprise, the white jade teacup did not shatter in response, but a circle of marks were smashed on the stone table, and the bottom ring of the teacup was embedded in it.

After the sound, the speaker's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at the man in white in horror.

"Senior brother Zhou Yu..."

"Wu Ming, you're still ashamed to talk. This time, you were abolished for private reasons and almost caused injuries to your fellow disciples. Not sending you to the Zhanglvtang to be punished is already giving your Wu family face. What else do you want?" The man in white slanted his eyebrows. , said in a cold voice.

The person standing beside him was Wu Ming who had just rushed back from Xingzi Island, he was bent on grievances, and when he was about to complain to Senior Brother Zhou Yu, he never expected to be reprimanded so severely.

"Senior Brother Zhou Yu, I know I was wrong, it's just that those two people had a feud with me before, and they dared to come to Mount Putuo this time, so please help me and teach them a lesson." Wu Ming was still unwilling road.

"Let me make a move...how do I make a move? Are you going to hit the door directly? Do you have any brains? They are here to participate in the Fairy Apricot Conference. They are guests, not enemies." Zhou Yu laughed angrily.

"No matter what, as long as senior brother can help me, next year's annual tribute from my family will be doubled, what do you think?" Wu Ming gritted his teeth and said.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but loosen his frown slightly.

The Wu family is a famous family of the Tang Dynasty, with a wealth of wealth. They spent a lot of money to send Wu Ming, a direct son and grandson, to practice in Putuo Mountain. Every year, they send a huge amount of incense money to Mount Putuo.

In addition, Zhou Yu and the family he originally belonged to, who are trying to protect Wu Ming's entry, can also receive a large amount of annual tribute. If it can be doubled, it will also be a heart-warming wealth.

"Speaking lightly, how can it be so easy to teach the other party without showing any traces? You also know that my master is the patriarch of law. If he knows, I will not escape heavy punishment." Zhou Yu hesitated.

"Senior Brother Zhou, I know that you have always cared about Senior Sister Nie. She failed several times in retreat to attack the Mahayana period. She just lacked a Chenyue Pearl. Our family just got one three months ago. As long as you are willing to help I, I can ask Grandpa to give me this thing. You know that he has always been responsive to my requests, and he will definitely agree. At that time, you will transfer the Chenyue Pearl to Junior Sister Nie to help her break through the Mahayana stage. Sending charcoal in the snow, I will definitely be able to embrace the beauty." Seeing that he still refused to let go, Wu Ming immediately made up his mind and said.

"Does your family have Chenyue beads?" Zhou Yu asked, frowning suddenly.

"That's right, I bought it three months ago from a Taoist hunter in the East China Sea with a huge sum of money. Although it is only from a mirage that is only 300 years old, but fortunately, it is in good condition and well preserved..."

Before Wu Ming finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Yu:

"The trial of the Fairy Apricot Conference is being presided over by me. It is not difficult to injure him in an accident. At most, his limbs will be cut off, but if you want more severe revenge, then don't even think about it. Once serious consequences occur, As the person in charge, I will also be held accountable by the sect, you understand this, right?"

"Understood, understood... that's enough." Wu Ming smiled "hehe" and nodded again and again.

"Tell me about the situation of those two people..." Zhou Yu picked up the teacup on the table again and said slowly.

Wu Ming immediately lowered his body and began to talk excitedly.

……

On the other side, Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian had already returned to their respective residences.

After a short rest, Shen Luo came to the second floor of the attic and sat cross-legged on the futon in the room.

I saw his hands holding Yuan in his dantian, and with a slight movement of his mind, the pure yang sword embryo flew out of his dantian, hovering quietly between his hands.

Together with his thoughts, the mana in his body began to pour out from the palm, entangled on the sword embryo, and began to accumulate the pure yang sword embryo bit by bit.
