Chapter 54 The humble invitation

At the end of autumn and winter solstice, Cangshan Mountain is already a bleak feeling, and looking around, it is a bleak feeling. Although the peach blossom forest next to it has already withered, Chen Liang will still sit here and watch bored after finishing his practice.

"You said, there are some things in this world that even our inner sect Taoists will forget." Chen Liang sat in the old position and looked at the withered peach blossom forest in front of him, and asked Qing Ning beside him.

Qingning was not very interested in this withered peach blossom forest. She shook the long tail behind her, lowered her little head and stared at the ants at her feet. From time to time, she even stretched out her fingers curiously, blocking the ants' way forward.

When she saw the ant walking by, she naughtyly stretched out her other finger to block it, and soon became immersed in this matter.

Therefore, she didn't hear her stupid Taoist priest's question clearly. When she was surprised, she raised her head and thought about Chen Liang's question, and then she turned her eyes and thought.

"How could that happen!" Qing Ning replied very decisively, which was a natural look. "The inner sect Taoist is the most powerful person in the world. The only one who can erase the memories of the inner sect Taoist is the more powerful inner sect Taoist. The stupid Taoist priest, you have all your seals untied, how could you forget things?"

Qing Ning’s words are correct, this is true for the Taoist priests of the inner sect!

Chen Liang agreed with what Qingning said, but he always felt something was wrong in his heart, as if he had forgotten something important.

"After we left Anshi City, we should have met someone on the way back and what happened?" Chen Liang thought for a while and said confidently.

"Didn't you meet that Confucian scholar who looks a little powerful? He arrogantly said a lot of words to you, Dao Zheng, and then the substitute was destroyed by Dao Zheng." Qing Ning said a little bored. This matter can be remembered by thinking about it for a moment.

"That humble ant can only attract my attention to him, how can I talk about it? What I mean is what happened to us on the way back to Jiangyangguan after destroying Li Xiuwen's substitute?" Chen Liang still maintained this disdainful tone for Li Xiuwen.

Qing Ning then leaned her head and thought about it seriously. After thinking for a long time, she didn't remember what happened on the road: "Nothing happened? You must be stupid Taoist priest, you are thinking randomly."

"When we came back, did we pass through a deserted hill?"

"When I came back from that place, there were deserted hills all the way. It was not just one, but there were just a dozen hills."

"Is something happened on that hill that a group of bandits surrounded a girl?"

"Hmph, Taoist Master, you are so lustful. You think about these messy things all day long. Next, do you want to say that those bandits surrounded the girl and then saved the beauty by your hero. Then the girl secretly promised you that you would not marry in this life. But after she gave you this promise, she has not come to Jiangyangguan and disappeared, so you are very disappointed."

“…”

"Master Stupid Taoist, Master Sei, your dirty and dirty thoughts were indeed guessed by Qing Ning."

"I vaguely remember that the girl must have killed the bandits in the blink of an eye and left that place."

"Silly Taoist Master, how could a girl walk to the barren mountain alone for us to meet? How could a girl be so powerful? You should wake up and stop dreaming and thinking about it anymore."

...

After thinking for a long time, it was just a vague impression. Chen Liang finally gave up intelligently. After his cultivation had finished, he accompanied Qingning to continue staying here, looking at the withered peach blossom forest in front of him, thinking about something.

After saying these words to her stupid Taoist priest, Qingning threw her stupid Taoist priest aside and ignored her. She squatted alone, her eyes flashing with curious eyes, and happily tossed the ants on the ground.

After staying outside the view for more than half an hour, the cold wind blew, and Chen Liang took Qingning, who was reluctant to leave, and he went back to the view to rest.

As soon as he entered the Taoist temple, he saw two and three corpse ghosts. They were moving their no longer stiff bodies and preparing to start practicing. As soon as he saw Chen Liang, two and three corpse ghosts stopped, stood aside honestly, and made two "whimper" sounds at him routinely.

After nightfall, it is time for the secular ants to rest, but for the second and third, it is time for them to start practicing.

For corpses, they do not need to absorb the spiritual energy in the world, nor do they need the incense beliefs of Taoists from outside. All they need to practice is the yin energy that appears after night. After absorbing the yin energy at night, they can practice the Taoist technique like Taoists from outside.

Now, the second and third have learned two small Taoist techniques in "Three Thousand Small Taoist Techniques". The two small Taoist techniques combined with their powerful bodies have brought their simple and crude attacks to the extreme.

Even Chen Liang will suffer a lot if he accidentally uses the Taoist technique when facing two and three.

Although the strength of the second and third parties has increased a lot, their spirituality has gradually recovered, and now they are like children aged seven or eight. But they are still respectfully facing Chen Liang, obeying all his instructions, without any violation.

All of this happened in the third month after Chen Liang returned from Anshi City.

Within these three months, Leng Li had already worshipped the incense belief that should be given as agreed. He even spared no effort to go to Baiyun Temple to worship in person, helping the Baiyun Temple to add many believers. As for Baiyun Temple, under Leng Li's push, the incense suddenly flourished, and Taoist Xingfeng was very happy. While coming to praise Chen Liang from time to time, he presented the incense belief to Chen Liang as much as possible according to regulations.

The only thing that surprised Chen Liang was Leng Xunyun. During these three months, she would bring a group of people to Jiangyang Temple every month to pay a visit to Chen Liang in person and worship Chen Liang, and worship the meager incense beliefs.

Although every time she came, Qingning had to stare at her fiercely as if she was facing a great enemy. Leng Xunyun still expressed her gratitude to Chen Liang, indicating that if Chen Liang had any requests or difficulties, she was willing to help her.

How can the Taoist in the inner sect have difficulties in this secular world? Even if there are difficulties, it is not something like Leng Xunyun can solve it. So under Qingning's gaze, Chen Liang rejected her request again.

These incense beliefs were accumulated together, which was very sufficient for Chen Liang, and exceeded his expectations. After he transformed those incense beliefs into the spiritual vein, he became a somewhat huge spiritual energy, running in the spiritual vein.

In this way, relying solely on the incense belief provided by Anshi City, Chen Liang's cultivation speed exceeded the speed of absorbing spiritual energy here. If he cooperated with absorbing thin spiritual energy in Cangshan, his cultivation speed in this world would be one-sixth of that of Luoyan Sect at the time.

If Chen Liang could incorporate the largest Taoist temple in Qingzhou, Lingxiao Temple, into Jiangyang Temple, he would be very confident and be able to catch up with his cultivation speed at Luoyan Sect.

But it has been three months since Baiyun Temple sent Taoist to Lingxiao Temple to Daoming. The news brought back by the Taoist sent was said that the Lord of Lingxiao Temple had some consideration after hearing this and would send Taoist to Anshi City as soon as possible. But it has been one month, and there has not been any movement of Lingxiao Temple so far.

Fortunately, Chen Liang was still a little patient. Before the first snow in Cangshan came, he was ready to wait patiently. He entrusted all the matters communicating with Ling Xiaoguan to Xingfeng Taoist to deal with. But after the first snow in Cangshan came, Ling Xiaoguan would not have made any statement, so he would take action himself.

Once he takes action himself, the solution will be different. By then, it will not be good news for Baiyun Temple and Lingxiao Temple.

After another five or six days, Cangshan became colder and colder. When the Xingfeng Taoist came to deliver the incense belief of this month to Chen Liang, he finally brought some good news related to Lingxiao Temple.

"Taoist, this is the incense belief in Baiyun Temple. Now the incense temple is prosperous, and this incense belief is more than last month." Taoist Xingfeng looked at Chen Liang and said with a smile. Since the incense in Baiyun Temple was prosperous, he showed this kind of flattering smile when he saw Chen Liang.

As for Chen Liang's unbearable arrogance, the look of contempt that appeared from time to time in his eyes, the thought of the strong incense beliefs, all Taoist Xingfeng could bear it now.

Chen Liang raised his hand, maintained his arrogant and indifferent expression, and took over the incense belief of Taoist Xingfeng. He looked at the excited expression of Taoist Xingfeng, and guessed that Taoist Xingfeng had something to say next, so he stood there waiting for Taoist Xingfeng to say what happened next.

"The things on Lingxiao Temple have come to the Baiyun Temple. They sent Taoist priests to discuss things with Taoist priests." Taoist Xingfeng said excitedly, and said in a solemn tone, "Before coming, I chatted with the Taoist priest a few words and looked at his tone. The thing you mentioned by Taoist priest is not an impossible thing."

The Xingfeng Taoist easily agreed to this matter, and Chen Liang was a little surprised when Ling Xiaoguan said it easily. He glanced at the Xingfeng Taoist and stood there thinking.

"Oh, what about the request?" Chen Liang asked slowly, knowing that next was the key to the problem.

"As for the specific requirements, the Taoist who came to Ling Xiaoguan did not explain in detail. He wanted to invite the Taoist to go to Baiyunguan for a discussion. After meeting the Taoist, he would explain all the reasons." Taoist Xingfeng said quickly, then looked at Chen Liang's expression and waited for his decision in his heart.

Hearing Taoist Xingfeng said these words, Chen Liang knew how he would answer. He directly rejected the request and stated that he would never go to the Baiyun Temple.
