In the sky, many figures shuttled back and forth. Many of them did not know each other. When they looked at each other, the first thing they saw was the appearance of each other's cards. Then, they secretly compared themselves.
At this time, an old man was sitting on the back of a flaming bull. He was drinking wine while leisurely looking at the cultivators coming and going with a smile on his face.
Under his butt, the flaming bull was burning with raging flames. Its four hooves were not stepping on auspicious clouds, but on flames.
Every time it stepped, the air would vibrate and emit a clattering sound. Moreover, there were flames flying in all directions. Not only was it fast, but it was also spitting fire. Its aura was naturally astonishing. It was a rare sight in the sky.
The old man looked at the others in the sky with contempt and was very proud. "Who can be more dazzling than me in flying?"
At this time, the flaming bull's eyes suddenly widened. It said in surprise, "Huh? Master, there is someone in front whose auspicious cloud is golden. How did they do it? "
"What? Auspicious cloud? Golden? "
The old man was stunned. He looked up and suddenly quivered. His scalp went numb and he almost dropped the jug of wine in his hand.
"Hiss — That is merit! This, this, this … How can there be such a big merit auspicious cloud?! "
His eyes were bloodshot. He almost roared and hurriedly said, "Flaming bull, quickly, quickly extinguish the fire! Don't let the fire touch it, not even a small spark. Quickly extinguish the fire! Slow down and change direction. We will go around it! "
This scene was playing out everywhere in the void.
Originally, everyone was very harmonious and showing off their wealth. Now, they all retracted their spirit lights and even their auras. They were afraid of disturbing the virtuous old man and causing a misunderstanding.
Some of the people riding spirit beasts directly sealed the beasts' mouths. If the roars were too loud and hurt the virtuous old man's ears, it would be an unexpected disaster.
Along the way, Li Nianfan and the others were unimpeded. Everyone even made way for them and silently left.
It could be said that once merit was shown, who could compete with it?
Li Nianfan nodded at everyone's reaction. He was very satisfied with their behavior of "giving up their seats."
After crossing numerous mountain ranges, they soon saw a golden light filling the sky, forming pillars of light that shot into the sky. Faintly, solemn Buddhist chants could be heard, calming one's heart.
Continuing forward, on top of a tall mountain, there were temples. Each of them was a gold-plated pagoda-shaped building. The golden light was shining from these buildings.
The entire mountain was polished into layers of stairs from top to bottom. At the bottom of the stairs, there was a tall golden doorpost, held by two monks to welcome the passersby.
The stairs extended from the foot of the mountain all the way to the top. The mountain was very tall, and the stairs were very long. Every nine steps, there was a monk standing on each side. Their hands were clasped together, their eyes were closed, and their mouths were constantly chanting.
This meant that he wanted people to climb up the stairs.
Those palaces were naturally dazzling, but with the arrival of Li Nianfan, the limelight was instantly stolen.
Compared to the Virtuous Golden Cloud, the golden color of those palaces instantly paled. Not only was the Virtuous Golden Cloud's color brighter, but it was also a kind of temperament.
In comparison, the golden color of the palaces was not only dull, but also vulgar.
"I accidentally stole the limelight. I'm really sorry."
Li Nianfan felt a little embarrassed. Just as he was about to land, he saw a figure riding a cloud from the temple. Soon, it landed in front of everyone. It was Yuetu.
She clasped her hands together and said, "Yuetu greets Young Master Li."
Li Nianfan smiled slightly. "Yuetu Bodhisattva, long time no see. You're the main character this time. You didn't have to come personally to welcome me."
"Young Master Li can come. He alone is enough to make up for everything." Yuetu looked sincere. "No matter what, Yuetu should come personally to welcome him."
She made an inviting gesture. "Young Master Li naturally doesn't need to climb up the stairs. He can just fly into the temple."
So she's here to give me the express route.
Li Nianfan nodded and followed Yuetu into the main hall of the temple.
Below, those who were still climbing the stairs couldn't help but look up. They could only see a golden cloud floating over their heads, as if to say: We're not the same …
On the way, Li Nianfan pondered for a moment and said, "Yuetu Bodhisattva, I recently met your Arhat, but … I'm afraid he won't be able to come."
Yuetu was slightly taken aback. She asked, "Did something happen?"
Li Nianfan sighed softly and told her what happened. Finally, he shook his head and said, "The most difficult thing in the world is human emotions. No one can interfere. They can only rely on themselves."
Li Nianfan really wanted to help, but outsiders couldn't interfere in this kind of thing. If he forcefully interfered, it would only have the opposite effect. He could only think of a roundabout way from the side.
Sigh, he had watched so many emotional dramas in his previous life. When it came to this, he didn't even know what to say to comfort her. It was a pity that there wasn't enough chicken soup when it was needed.
"Amitabha."
Yuetu's tone was complicated. She continued, "Jiese's calamity is unavoidable."
Then, Yuetu fell silent, as if she was thinking about something.
Soon, everyone arrived at the main hall. The hall was very spacious and magnificent. There weren't any unnecessary decorations, only a few pillars supporting the hall. There were monks receiving the guests.
There were many people. It seemed that Buddhism had a lot of influence. After all, it was spread far and wide. It was a level higher than other sects. This was an independent sect.
Li Nianfan naturally didn't pay too much attention to these passers-by. He simply glanced at them. However, he was the brightest star. It was hard not to attract attention. Soon, many familiar faces gathered together.
Ziye, Lingzhu, Xiao Chengfeng, Pei An, and Gu Changqing.
They were naturally invited and had arrived early. When they saw Li Nianfan, they immediately walked over to greet him. "Young Master Li."
Li Nianfan smiled and returned the greeting. "Hahaha, so you're here too."
Yuetu suggested, "Young Master Li, why don't I arrange a room for everyone to catch up?"
Li Nianfan nodded. "That's great."
Soon, everyone left the main hall and went to the room at the back of the hall.
The others were surprised. It wasn't until Li Nianfan and the others left that they dared to gradually discuss.
"What's going on? Someone can actually step on the Virtuous Cloud. Where did he get so much Virtuous Merit from? "
"This is the first time I've seen Virtuous Merit in my life."
"The heavens are unfair. I save mortals from the mouths of demons every day. Why don't they give me any Virtuous Merit?"
"Most importantly, he's still a mortal. Can a mortal have so much Virtuous Merit?"
"Could it be that he saved the world in his previous life?"
…
Li Nianfan naturally didn't have the time to pay attention to the exclamations of the onlookers. Instead, he followed Yuetu to a secluded room.
This room was different from the splendor of the outside world. It emitted a sandalwood fragrance. The layout was no different from an ordinary residence. Wooden tables and chairs were neatly arranged. It immediately made Li Nianfan more pleasing to the eye.
My eyes hurt after seeing too much gold. Ordinary ones suit me better.
"Young Master Li, have a seat." Yuetu politely invited Li Nianfan to take a seat and got someone to serve tea.
Compared to other places, Yuetu really disappointed Li Nianfan.
Whether it was the Reapers, the Carp Palace, or the Xia Dynasty, when they appeared, they were either beautiful female ghosts, seductive clam spirits, or graceful palace maids. Which one of them wasn't full of benefits that made people forget to go home?
Looking around, there was only a bunch of monks with shaved heads. The only thing that was worth looking at was their shiny heads.
It seemed that Buddhism wasn't suitable for guests.
Li Nianfan made a mental note. In the future, when traveling, it would be better to go somewhere else.
Apart from the service staff, the dishes were obviously not good either. The table full of vegetarian dishes could be described as bland.
"Yuetu, I have to say this."
Pei An couldn't help but say, "We're all old acquaintances. If you're too poor, you could've just told us. It's a bit unreasonable to just entertain us with these dishes."
Most importantly, the expert was still present. How could you have the nerve to serve these dishes with such a noble status?
"My Buddhism is eating, but it is poverty." Yuetu looked embarrassed and said bitterly, "But these were all planted by our temple. We've also collected all the spiritual fruits that we could find in the surroundings. The taste should be alright."
Ling Zhu was a foodie. Without saying anything, she picked up a piece of vegetable and put it into her mouth. "Ahhh, mia ~ mia ~"
Her mouth only moved a few times before her eyes widened and she froze.
Her mouth curled up. With a "puff", the vegetable flew out of her mouth.
"I can't, I can't …" She was already in tears. Her body collapsed onto Ziye.
At the same time, she slapped her own mouth in regret. She said weakly, "I've lived for so long and I've never thought that there would be something so disgusting in this world. The vegetables … are poisonous. I can't live."
The others silently retracted their chopsticks and looked at Ling Zhu with reverence.
Thank you for testing the poison.
Ziye was speechless. She said softly, "That's enough. What poison can kill you? Get up."
"Disgusting food is the worst poison in the world to me. Only good food can save me." Ling Zhu hugged Ziye and said affectionately, "Sister Ziye, I know you're hiding an orange. Save me, save me!"
"Hahaha, what a foodie." Li Nianfan could not help but laugh and shake his head. "I don't lack good food here. This time, I've unexpectedly obtained a Qilin meat. You guys are lucky."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand. Two Qilin meat legs appeared on the table.
There was too much Qilin meat. To make it easier to preserve, Li Nianfan processed the two legs and made them into cured meat. He did not expect it to taste so good.
The cured meat's aroma was not strong. It was more of a reserved type. However, everyone's eyes lit up as they stared at it. The food served by the expert was definitely the greatest enjoyment in the world.
"Wow, thank you, Young Master Li!"
Ling Zhu was not polite at all. Her eyes lit up and she pounced over like a wolf. She could not wait to pick up one of the legs and started to gnaw on it alone.
The others' mouths twitched as they watched.
What was the meaning of this? There were only two legs and she took one for herself. How could she be so immoral?
"Hurry up." Ziye knew Ling Zhu the best. She urged, "Don't just stand there. Let's split the remaining one. Otherwise, when she finishes, we won't be able to keep this one!"
"What? How can it be so cruel? What are we waiting for? "
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!"
None of them looked like Immortals anymore. They were practically bandits. They were even more active than when they were splitting the spiritual treasures. They stared at the pieces of meat, so anxious that their faces turned red.
After the first bite, everyone was conquered by the tender and smooth meat. They could not help but close their eyes to enjoy it.
Ling Zhu's poison was immediately expelled. Her mouth was stuffed and she could not speak clearly. "Qilin meat is really different! Even after so many years, I haven't had the chance to taste it. "
"Hehehe, this Qilin is a stupid one. It came out so cool, but in the end, it was struck by lightning." Nanna started the conversation and told them the whole story with a laugh.
Everyone else was eating while listening with great interest. Then, they burst into laughter.
Except for Yuetu.
She was eating happily with the others. Now, she silently put down the piece of meat in her hand and spat it out. She pouted and her eyes were filled with tears.
She had a mental breakdown.
Eating was eating. Why did they have to talk about such things? Couldn't they just eat happily?
The meat that was in her mouth flew away!
Was there anything more painful than this in the world?
Ling Zhu stared hard at the piece of meat and gulped. "Eh? Yuetu Bodhisattva, why aren't you eating? "
Yuetu said pitifully, "Only meat that is killed can be eaten. I just heard how it was killed. I …"
Ling Zhu perked up and interrupted, "That's great. I'll eat it if you don't!"
"…" Yuetu: "Amitabha."
After that, everyone happily ate the qilin's trotters. Only Yue Cha was chewing on the vegetables miserably.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, everyone revealed a satisfied smile.
Xiao Chengfeng wiped his mouth and started bragging. "Young Master Li, this Qilin actually dared to ambush you. If I wasn't here, I would have killed it!"
His words were automatically ignored by everyone.
Ziye frowned and said, "It seems that the previous calamity had something to do with the Qilin race. But even in ancient times, we only heard about dragons and phoenixes. There was very little news about them. They have been dormant for a long time."
Ling Zhu was still licking the leg bone that had no meat. She said, "I also thought that the Qilin race was extinct."
Li Nianfan suddenly said, "If the story I know is correct, the Qilin race participated in the Investiture of the Gods."
Ziye's expression immediately became serious. She said, "Young Master Li, please tell us."
"The Investiture of the Gods mentioned a divine beast called the Four Odd Beasts. You should all remember this, right? And this Four Odd Beasts is the son of the first Qilin."
PS: I saw that many people said that the protagonist of yesterday's chapter was a saint.
You can take a good look. The reason why the protagonist persuaded her was because the family that Yun Yiyi wanted to kill was very innocent. That family did not participate. They only did not help the Yun family because they were afraid. Staying out of it, did they deserve to die?
