"Honorable guest, please follow me!"
Bhikkhuni's voice was very pleasant and soft. Lou Xiaoyi suddenly wanted to listen to her chanting scriptures, but he didn't know what kind of tune it was.
After passing through several corridors, he was still far from entering the inner part of the nunnery. In a quiet box room, a Bodhisattva received him.
According to the rules of the Cultivation World, the reception was generally equal. Jin Dan to Jin Dan, and Yuanying to Yuanying. However, if the background and strength were taken into consideration, it was normal for those with lower strength to take the initiative to increase the level of reception.
"I'm Huizhi of the Shuiyue Nunnery. Thank you for coming here to help me, Xuanyuan. I'm really sorry to trouble you to come so far!"
Lou Xiaoyi returned the salute. He wanted to get to the point as soon as possible. "Senior, you're welcome. You don't have to be so formal with me.
This time, I came here in a hurry. Moreover, your nunnery sent me many unknown messages. Since it may be related to Xuanyuan, please don't hide it from me so that we can solve this matter as soon as possible! "
His words were a little impolite. He blamed the Shuiyue Nunnery for not telling him the whole story when they were asking for help. However, Swordsman was basically a straightforward person. After tens of thousands of years, the Cultivation World had long been used to it.
Huizhi smiled, "It's related to some of the nunnery's privacy, so I can't speak frankly. However, I didn't mean to hide it. Since you're here, I'll tell you everything I know!"
Lou Xiaoyi expressed his thanks and listened attentively.
Huizhi sighed, "You know, the Shuiyue Nunnery is not a pure Buddhist nunnery. It's just a nominal name. The nunnery takes in all the poor women who have been bullied in the Cultivation World. There are nine schools of Buddhism and Taoism. As long as there's a need, we'll take them in. Therefore, the origin of this matter is a little complicated …"
Lou Xiaoyi nodded. That was to open the door of convenience, regardless of past experience. Such an approach could indeed attract numerous female pursuers, but at the same time, it would also bring about all kinds of troubles. It was unavoidable. If the nunnery was powerful enough, they could handle it. If they were not powerful enough, they would encounter many problems, just like this time.
"On Cloud Lake Island, there's a small cultivation family called the Li family. Although it's not very prosperous, its legacy hasn't been broken for thousands of years. Its nineteen generations of famous disciples have some potential. Their entry into the Dao can be considered smooth. They're considered young talents with some fame in the Cloud Lake Islands.
Cultivation families are very fond of marriage, especially if the families are well-matched in social status. The advantage of this is that no matter which family's bloodline is not good, the in-laws can always help more or less, so that the legacy won't really be broken.
This Li Peinan, well, he's the grandson of the nineteen generations of this small family. He and a young lady from another cultivation family were childhood sweethearts. When they grew up, they fell in love with each other secretly. One of them wanted to marry you, while the other wanted to marry him. Although the relationship between the two cultivation families wasn't very harmonious, since the children liked each other, they went with the flow and agreed to their marriage. In the Cultivation World, it's always good to have one more friend and one more cultivator relative … "
Lou Xiaoyi curled his lips. This old story was also an eternal story in the Cultivation World. Later, it probably couldn't escape the great change in the man's family, and then a series of unpleasant things happened. Then there was the cliché of "Don't bully the poor young". Lou Xiaoyi just listened.
"But the weather is unpredictable, and people are unpredictable. After the engagement, the Li family suffered a great change, and the family withered. This is also very common in the Cultivation World, so there's no need to say more.
From then on, this Li Peinan turned from a young master to an itinerant cultivator, and he was the kind that had enemies. You also know how practical a cultivation family is. The survival of each family often depends not on how many friends they have, but on how many enemies they have.
When his in-laws saw the Li family's current situation, how could they have a chance to turn things around? For the sake of their daughter's happiness and the safety of their family, they had the intention to break off the engagement!
But they couldn't say it out loud, so they added a price in the name of betrothal gifts. How could the declining Li family take out a hundred thousand spirit stones? "
Lou Xiaoyi sighed. This was getting more and more cliché.
"But that Li Peinan was also infatuated with love. From then on, he ran around everywhere, doing business, exploring, and risking his life for others. More than ten years later, when he returned from afar, he had already collected a hundred thousand spirit stones as betrothal gifts. So he openly went to the Li family and asked to fulfill his promise to marry a wife.
Who would have thought that time was cruel, and things would remain the same, but people would change. His childhood sweetheart wife had already married three years ago and no longer fulfilled her promise. So he angrily left the bold words' don't bully a poor young man 'in front of the girl's family and left in anger … "
Lou Xiaoyi was somewhat speechless. So he came from afar just to clean up this emotional mess?
"The declining Li family suffered such a blow, and was somewhat unable to recover. As for those bold words, they were just words spoken in a moment of anger. Was it so easy to say 'don't bully a poor young man'? The reality is that 99% of young men are still poor when they reach middle age and old age!
So no one cared about him!
In the process of his downfall, his original in-law's family also suffered a great change. They lost even more miserably than the Li family. His childhood playmate was sent to a brothel in the end and had to sell her body for a living. The world was full of vicissitudes, and one didn't know whether it was good or bad. It was also fate.
During this period, the Li family's son met a female rogue cultivator. The two of them had a good impression of each other in difficult times. Just when they were talking about marriage, a disciple of a sect snatched her away. That woman desired cultivation resources, so she abandoned her old love and found a new one. This was another blow!
When that disciple married a mistress, the Li family's son left the bold words' don't bully a weak young man 'in front of the door and left amidst ridicule! From then on, he disappeared without a trace!
This happened more than a hundred years ago. Ten years ago, this person suddenly returned with a sword case on his back and set off a reign of terror in the Cloud Lake Islands!
At first, only the people and families related to the two marriages were unlucky. Later, it spread to other rich families and sects. As long as there were more than two Taoist companions, they were all his targets!
Now, even our Shuiyue Nunnery has been implicated. There is a hidden intention to target us! "
Lou Xiaoyi didn't understand. "Senior, I don't seem to understand what this has to do with your nunnery. Your nunnery is not a brothel. Is it worth it? "
Hui Zhi sighed. "My young friend, you don't know that his fiancée, who was his childhood sweetheart, finally found a chance to escape from the control of the underground cultivation forces after staying in the brothel for more than ten years. Then she fled to our Shuiyue Nunnery.
How could the Shuiyue Nunnery refuse such a pitiful woman? So she stayed and became a Bhikkhuni.
The female rogue cultivator later on didn't live a good life for many years. After he got tired of her, she was also sent out by the sect's disciples. She continued to make a living as a pirate … Several years later, she escaped and came to our Shuiyue Nunnery. Similarly, we can't refuse her … "
Lou Xiaoyi was completely speechless. So your nunnery is the next home of the brothel robbers?
