Chapter 113: Two Sects Communicate, Be Generous
"So... you were originally at Qingyun Peak, but because you wanted to go to the stove room to find something to eat in the afternoon, you stumbled to our Danyang Peak?"
Hearing this, Shangguan Yunmeng looked at Lu Chen blankly, and said woodenly: "Is the place where I used to live called Qingyun Peak?"
"... Isn't it?"
"Is it, is it?"
"..."
Lu Chen patted his forehead speechlessly, and then couldn't help pointing to a mountain in the distance and said: "You said you are a cultivator from Yuxu Mountain, and the cultivators from Yuxu Mountain who came here to discuss Taoism this time are all temporarily living on the main peak of our sect, Qingyun Peak."
"Well, that's Qingyun Peak of our sect, see it."
"Oh... I see it."
Shangguan Yunmeng nodded obediently, and then suddenly changed the subject: "But I just want to go to the stove room, why did you point me to Qingyun Peak?"
"..."
It was Shangguan Yunmeng's outstanding appearance that made Lu Chen able to be patient at this time and not walk away.
If someone else had said this, he would have turned around and left!
Looking at the not-so-smart Shangguan Yunmeng, Lu Chen said helplessly: "From here, go out of the back mountain, and then walk 200 meters to the foot of the mountain, there is the fire stove room of my Danyang Peak."
Shangguan Yunmeng's eyes lit up instantly, and then said to Lu Chen seriously: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, you are a good person."
After that, Shangguan Yunmeng walked to the right side of the lake.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen couldn't hold it anymore.
"Fellow Taoist, the direction you are going... is the direction to go deep into the back mountain of my peak."
Hearing this, Shangguan Yunmeng turned around and walked in another direction without blushing or beating her heart.
But the place she walked this time was still wrong.
"Daoyou, this time you are going to the direction of our Danyang Peak main hall."
After taking the wrong road twice in a row, Shangguan Yunmeng simply walked directly to Lu Chen, and after hesitating for a moment, she said: "Well, I wonder if you can help me lead the way?"
"I don't know which direction you are talking about, because I feel that the roads around look similar..."
Lu Chen thought for a moment, and felt that it was not a big deal anyway, so he nodded and said: "Okay, then you follow me."
Hearing this, Shangguan Yunmeng immediately laughed happily, and then followed Lu Chen obediently.
And on the way, the two happened to chat for a while.
Not long after, Lu Chen learned about Shangguan Yunmeng's situation.
Shangguan Yunmeng was originally a little princess of the Great Wei Dynasty in the mortal world. Because her mother was just an ordinary concubine, she was not valued much in the Great Wei Dynasty.
Not only did her father see her a few times a year, but there were only two palace maids in the palace where she lived to take care of her daily life.
It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a little transparent in the Great Wei Dynasty.
But she didn't feel lonely.
Because every time she fell asleep, she would meet a fairy sister in her dream.
Perhaps it was because her mother died early.
As a result, Shangguan Yunmeng regarded the fairy sister in her dream as both a teacher and a mother, and listened to her very much.
She learned whatever she was told to learn.
So she waited in the courtyard during the day for the palace maids to bring food.
After eating, she practiced the fairy method taught by the fairy sister in the courtyard.
After falling asleep at night, she continued to practice seriously with the fairy sister.
She spent ten years like this, from the age of four to fourteen.
And the reason why she later entered Yuxu Mountain was really a coincidence.
One day, when the Emperor of Wei was entertaining a Qingyun Sect cultivator, the other party accidentally discovered the sword intent on her body and was immediately shocked.
Then he wanted to take her to the Qingyun Sect.
In this regard, the Emperor of Wei at that time was naturally happy to see it happen.
And Shangguan Yunmeng had no objection to it.
Because she had been staying in that small courtyard most of the time, except for occasionally leaving her courtyard during festivals, no matter where she went.
So she set off for Qingyun Sect with the monk from Qingyun Sect in a daze.
But the two of them had an accident on the way.
When they passed by a small mountain village near Yuxu Mountain.
They accidentally discovered that there was an orange cat pretending to be a mountain king, forcing and bribing the mortals in the village below the mountain to offer it a cow and ten ducks every month.
If they couldn't do it, the orange cat would eat them.
But ordinary people couldn't see the orange cat's shapeshifting technique, and naturally couldn't guess that the orange cat was actually deceiving them.
In this way, the big orange cat relied on the means of disguising as a mountain king to deceive two villagers at the foot of the mountain.
It really let this kid live a happy life of eating and sleeping for two years.
But all this came to an end after the appearance of Shangguan Yunmeng and Yi Hanqing.
That's right, the one who wanted to escort Shangguan Yunmeng to Qingyun Sect was Yi Hanqing.
Yi Hanqing initially thought that a small transformed mountain king, relying on his seventh-level cultivation of the foundation-building period and the third-grade heavenly foundation-building period, had a natural sword spirit.
It should be easy to subdue the rebellious demon mountain king.
So he took Shangguan Yunmeng and went directly to the mountain to find the mountain king, ready to eliminate the harm for the people.
After finding it, Yi Hanqing found that he was wrong.
He thought that the mountain king with evil spirit was actually an enlightened orange cat of the correct way.
This orange cat not only has a pure aura, but also has cultivated the self-created 'Tiger-style Meow Fist' into a fist spirit.
In addition, although the other party's cultivation is only the fifth level of the foundation-building period.
However, the spirit beast's physique was far superior to that of monks of the same level, so that Yi Hanqing could not defeat the opponent in a short period of time.
And because he was worried that Shangguan Yunmeng would be affected by his battle with the orange cat.
Yi Hanqing immediately asked Shangguan Yunmeng to return to the small mountain village at the foot of the mountain first, and then go find her after he finished the battle here.
But what Yi Hanqing didn't expect was that Shangguan Yunmeng had a poor sense of direction around her because she had lived in the palace for a long time.
In addition, she was a little confused to begin with, so that she didn't know where she was going down the mountain.
Just when Shangguan Yunmeng was at a loss what to do, a passing Jindan monk from Yuxu Mountain discovered her.
At this time, because Shangguan Yunmeng had only just realized the sword's intention, she was still unable to conceal her sword's intention well.
So much so that the Golden Core Stage cultivator in Yuxu Mountain noticed this immediately and exclaimed that he had found a treasure.
So in such confusion, Shangguan Yunmeng, who was supposed to go to Qingyun Sect, ended up going to Yuxu Mountain inexplicably.
The most important thing is that the golden elixir monk in Yuxu Mountain was a thief and deliberately did not tell her that the place she was visiting was Yuxu Mountain.
So much so that for a long time, Shangguan Yunmeng thought that he had actually arrived at Qingyun Sect, and didn't find anything strange at all.
As for Yi Hanqing, after a day of hard fighting, he finally defeated the orange cat and surrendered directly.
But thinking that the other party had never committed murder, Yi Hanqing finally decided to bring the other party and Shangguan Yunmeng back to the sect.
As for the villagers at the foot of the mountain who had been tricked by the little orange cat for two years, Yi Hanqing used his own money to make up for the losses caused by the little orange cat.
But after doing all this, Yi Hanqing was shocked to find that Shangguan Yunmeng had not returned to this small mountain village.
So he took the little orange cat with him and started searching all over the mountains.
After searching for a full month, Yi Hanqing finally learned from an Orion that Shangguan Yunmeng seemed to have left with a Yuxu Mountain monk wearing white clothes.
At this point, Yi Hanqing still didn't know that he had been intercepted halfway by Yuxu Mountain.
He immediately took the little orange cat to Yuxu Mountain to ask for an explanation.
The result can be imagined, Yu Xushan gave him a classic three-game attack on the spot.
'I'm not, I don't, I don't know...'
In response to this, Yi Hanqing still wanted to go to Yuxu Mountain to have a look, but was sent away by the other party with four or two hands.
After all, if he, a true disciple of the Qingyun Sect, rashly breaks into Yuxu Mountain.
Regardless of what his purpose is, others will think this is what the Qingyun Sect means.
Yi Hanqing did not want to bring injustice to the sect because of his temporary willfulness.
He could only give up and return to the sect.
Danyang Peak, in the cafeteria next to the fire stove room.
After hearing the twists and turns, Lu Chen couldn't help but say: "So, you were originally supposed to be a disciple of our Qingyun Sect, but because you were met by a monk from Yuxu Mountain after getting lost, you joined Yuxu Mountain in a daze? "
Shangguan Yunmeng, who was happily eating chicken drumsticks, heard this and replied absently: "Well... Okay, I guess so."
Yes, it's a bit interesting.
At this moment, Lu Chen could imagine that when Senior Brother Yi discovered that Shangguan Yunmeng was missing, he must have had eight hundred possibilities in his mind.
But the only thing he didn't expect was to be intercepted by Yuxu Mountain.
And just when Lu Chen wanted to ask Shangguan Yunmeng something about Yuxu Mountain, two voices came from outside the cafeteria of Huozhaofang.
"Old Jing, let me tell you, your Danyang Peak Fire Kitchen has the best stuff in the Qingyun Sect. Look at this big deal."
"It's not like the Qingyun Peak where I live. Not only does it have clear soup and little water every day, but it also has the euphemistic reputation of being an immortal who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, but feeds on the morning dew and breeze."
"Bah, I'm a big tiger. If I don't eat meat, why should I eat morning dew! I'm going to starve to death in the past half month!"
"Haha, Miaomiao, you should talk to my senior brother, the leader, and tell me what you are talking about."
"Tell me about my master? I was forced to drink northwest wind and eat morning dew every day by him, an old man. I told him, was my head squeezed by the door?"
Hearing one of the familiar voices, Lu Chen immediately looked out the door.
Not long after, he saw his master, Linghuo Taoist Jing Gong.
And a big orange cat half as tall as a man came in carrying a huge plate of food.
Although it is said that after monks reach the foundation building stage, they can already reach the point of inescaping and feed on the spiritual power of heaven and earth.
But except for a small number of monks, most of the monks in the foundation-building stage still eat some mortal delicacies from time to time.
"Doubtful, Xiao Lu, why are you here?"
As soon as Jing Gong came in, he saw Lu Chen sitting next to Shangguan Yunmeng.
The orange cat demon King Meow Meow next to him also noticed Shangguan Yunmeng next to Lu Chen.
It held the rice plate with both hands and tilted its head.
"Aren't you the little girl who was with Yi Hanqing back then? He and I were looking for you for a whole month, but here you are."
"No, why are you wearing Yuxu Mountain's clothes? Did you join Yuxu Mountain after you disappeared?"
As King Meow Meow spoke, he put his big dinner plate on the table of Lu Chen and Shangguan Yunmeng.
The half-human-tall orange cat stood directly on the bench and looked at Shangguan Yunmeng curiously.
After hearing its words, Shangguan Yunmeng's eyes were blank for a moment, and then he seemed to remember something, and immediately said in surprise: "It's you, big cat!"
Upon hearing this, King Meow Meow immediately slapped the table angrily.
"What a big cat, I am a tiger, a big tiger with hanging eyes and a white forehead!"
King Meow Meow was furious and furious.
Jing Gong on the side heard that Shangguan Yunmeng actually said the forbidden words of King Meow Meow. He suppressed a smile for a while and said, "Okay Meow Meow, this little girl can't tell the difference between big cats and tigers. Besides, tigers Isn’t it also a kind of cat?”
Although he said so, Shangguan Yunmeng seemed to have no understanding of the world, and still said in a low voice: "But you are obviously... exactly the same as the big cats I saw in the palace."
Meow Meow King: (╬ ̄ dishes ̄)
Can we still have a good chat?
Can I not know whether I am a big cat or a big tiger, in your words?
If Shangguan Yunmeng continues to talk like this, King Meow Meow may explode on the spot.
Jing Gong hurriedly changed the subject and said: "Xiao Lu, haven't you been in seclusion in the cave before now? Now you have time to come to this fire stove room for dinner, and you are still with Yunmeng girl. Don't you know each other before?"
Lu Chen shook his head and answered truthfully: "Master, Taoist friend Yunmeng and I met by chance in the back mountain. Since she didn't know where my Fenghuo Kitchen is, she asked me to help lead the way."
"That's it."
Jing Gong first looked at Lu Chen, who looked calm, and then looked at Shangguan Yunmeng who was happily eating next to him.
Suddenly an intriguing look appeared.
Lu Chen was very familiar with this look.
Isn't that the look in the eyes of his teachers Chen Fugui and Li Quanquan when they saw him and Mu Xiaoye appearing together?
Thinking of this, Lu Chen hurriedly explained: "Master, please don't misunderstand me. Fellow Taoist Yunmeng and I really met by chance."
Unexpectedly, after Jing Gong heard this, his small eyes immediately narrowed into thin lines, and he said in a tone of experience: "I understand, I understand, you don't need to explain, your master respects me... I am an experienced person."
Someone who has been here?
Thinking of Jing Palace's physique with pure Yang spiritual roots, Lu Chen always felt that the person he had experienced might be different from the person he understood.
"Okay, okay, I just happened to meet you, so tomorrow you will represent our Danyang Peak to attend the banquet hosted by the main peak to entertain fellow Taoists from Yuxu Mountain."
"ah?"
Listening to Jing Gong's casual tone, which sounded like he was trying to catch a young man, Lu Chen couldn't help but ask: "Master, as soon as the disciple is a Qi-training monk, let me go on behalf of all the senior brothers and sisters. Isn't that good?"
Before Jing Gong could answer, King Meow Meow beside him started eating chicken legs and said, "What's wrong? This banquet is very boring and most people are not willing to go."
"Why?"
Lu Chen asked curiously.
King Meow Meow bit the chicken leg and recalled similar scenes in the past. He said speechlessly: "Why else? Of course it's because there are seniors from various factions on both sides. They don't dare to talk nonsense. They all have a straight face. It’s like going to jail.”
Hearing this, Lu Chen immediately understood.
Thinking about it, this so-called banquet was the same as the entertainment at the two companies in his previous life.
The only people who can speak freely are the senior executives of both companies.
The people below are responsible for gathering people and supporting the scene.
There was nothing to do except eat.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen didn't want to go.
"Master, how about you still..."
"No need to give up. Each of us, the five protectors of Danyang Peak, has to choose two disciples to bring to the banquet tomorrow. You are the second disciple I have met, so you are the only one."
"What's the first one?"
"Ji Chang, that kid just happened to come to see me today, so I took the opportunity to include him."
Hearing that Ji Chang was also forcibly brought here by Jing Gong, Lu Chen instantly regained his mental balance.
"Actually, I feel that this banquet will be very lively, and you won't be too bored. After all, I received the news in advance."
"oh?!"
Lu Chen and Jing Gong both turned to look at King Meow Meow.
Even Shangguan Yunmeng, who was focused on eating, looked curious at this time.
Meow Meow looked at the few people and said mysteriously: "Just wait and see tomorrow, someone will give you some shows."
"What kind of show is this? Meow meow. Just tell me directly. Don't be pretentious."
In response, Ming Miao glanced at Shangguan Yunmeng who was sitting next to Lu Chen. After hesitating for a moment, he decided not to reveal Yi Hanqing's plan to "drunk the heroes" tomorrow.
After all, it was worried that Shangguan Yunmeng would tell the true disciples of Yuxu Mountain directly if he found out.
Then Yi Hanqing's mouth may not be able to work wonders.
"Forget it, Lao Jing, you will know tomorrow anyway."
"I won't say much more. The only thing I can say is that these two sects should be magnanimous in their exchanges. Tomorrow you will know how magnanimous we true disciples are."
Now that the matter is over, Jing Gong will naturally not ask any more questions. Anyway, the matter will be known tomorrow.
Several people gathered around the table and ate for about half an hour. Even Lu Chen also ate a little.
After drinking and eating, Lu Chen finally took on the task of escorting Shangguan Yunmeng back.
Because Miao Miao and Jing Gong, two bad chess players, were planning to play chess together and had no time to send Shangguan Yunmeng.
And because he and Shangguan Yunmeng were both in the Qi training period, the two of them could only walk towards the main peak of Qingyun.
But just when the two of them reached the mountainside, several monks wearing Yuxu Mountain costumes immediately fell from the sky.
"Junior sister Yunmeng, why are you here? We have been looking for you for a long time!"
After Li Xueke landed, he ran directly to Shangguan Yunmeng's side. After making sure that she was fine, he turned to Lu Chen and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for escorting Junior Sister Yunmeng back."
Lu Chen nodded and responded politely: "Fellow Taoist, you are serious. Lu is just doing something with a little effort."
After a brief exchange of greetings, Lu Chen said goodbye to several people directly.
After Lu Chen left, Li Xueke couldn't help but said to Shangguan Yunmeng: "Junior sister Yunmeng, didn't we agree that after we leave the sect, you will follow me and stop running around? Look at you, you must be acting like this again Are you lost?"
Faced with Li Xueke's lecture, Shangguan Yunmeng responded seriously: "Sister, you misunderstood. I didn't get lost. I went to Danyang Peak on purpose to find something to eat."
The corners of Li Xueke's mouth twitched slightly.
No, you have already run from Qingyun Peak to Danyang Peak, and you still say you are not lost?
You sword cultivators are so tough-minded that you have to forcefully explain everything.
Perhaps to take care of Shangguan Yunmeng's face, Li Xueke finally didn't get too entangled with her on this matter.
Instead, they talked about Lu Chen, who had just left.
"Who was that fellow Taoist just now? Junior sister, you probably didn't tell him about the situation of our senior brothers and sisters in Yuxu Mountain, right?"
Hearing this, Shangguan Yunmeng looked at Li Xueke with clear eyes and said seriously: "Sister, don't worry, don't look at me like this. In fact, I am very witty most of the time."
"I didn't go to Danyang Peak casually this time, but to gather information."
"oh?"
Li Xueke looked at Shangguan Yunmeng funny, wanting to hear her clever tricks.
"Then tell me what you found out?"
Shangguan Yunmeng's delicate little face was full of seriousness, and he said seriously: "I have heard that they want to get you drunk at the banquet tomorrow so that you will not be able to discuss the truth properly."
The communication between the two sects should be magnanimous.
This 'magnanimity' fell into Shangguan Yunmeng's ears, and for some reason it became 'drinking capacity'.
Rounding things off, Shangguan Yunmeng naturally thought that the little trick King Meow Miao and his group of Qingyun True Successors were going to do tomorrow was to get them, the disciples of Yuxu Mountain, drunk at the cocktail party.
After all, the day of the banquet and Wufeng discussion was only two days apart.
If you are really drunk, it will indeed affect your discussion.
When Li Xueke and several of the true disciples of Yuxu Mountain heard this, they really felt that it was very possible.
So they quickly started whispering to each other and discussing strategies for tomorrow.
Seeing the reactions of Senior Sister Li and others, Shangguan Yunmeng immediately raised his chin proudly and secretly gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.
I, Shangguan Yunmeng, have made great achievements!
