Chapter 278 Kunlun Banquet
As Wang Tianyu said, the doors and windows of the side hall of the Taoist temple were decayed and could not resist the cutting of the two Taoist practitioners. They soon turned into a pile of strips of firewood, igniting a raging fire, illuminating the slightly dark main hall, and emitting a warmth in this cold rainy day.
Xiaochan quickly changed her clothes and wore a wide blue-gray Taoist robe, which made her look petite and weak. She came quietly to sit next to Anyang, separated from him by a pile of dried firewood. She consciously picked up a long wooden strip and began to control the fire, and occasionally threw a dried firewood into it.
No one was talking in the empty Taoist temple hall. For a moment, only the sound of rain outside and the crackling sound of dry firewood burning was heard, but it made the cooler and added a little silence.
Perhaps it was a little rain just now, Xiaochan was a little cold. She sat on the ground and hugged her legs, rested her head on her knees, and looked at Wang Tianyu with vigilance from time to time. The flames made her face red, but she did not relax at all in the warmth of the fire. Just like she was with Anyang at the beginning, she was very wary.
After a long time, Anyang asked inadvertently: "Dried?"
Xiaochan was stunned and nodded immediately.
"Um."
"You are a goblin, you probably won't catch a cold, right?"
Xiaochan was stunned again, and couldn't help but squint his eyes and glance at Wang Tianyu opposite him, but she happened to see Wang Tianyu looking at her with a smile. She was shocked and turned back to Anyang timidly, with a flash in her eyes.
"Um."
Anyang nodded, stopped talking, and focused on closing his eyes and practicing.
Xiaochan also lowered her head and looked at the fire, still looking up from time to time at Wang Tianyu, and quietly looking at Anyang.
She suddenly remembered that when she ran out of the woods, Anyang was standing outside the Taoist temple in the rain. When she thought about it carefully, he didn't seem to blame in his eyes, and there was the soft towel and the question that seemed to be caring. This person was suddenly so gentle to him, and he was really not used to it.
By the way, towels!
Xiaochan quickly took out a white towel from the arms of Taoist robe. It was already very dry, but it was still a little wet. She was about to hand it to Anyang when she saw him closing his eyes and practicing, she took his hand back. But as soon as she took his hand back, she opened Anyang's eyes and stared at him calmly. The gaze made her heart skip.
"Your your towel."
An Yang glanced at her lightly, closed his eyes again, completely ignoring her.
Xiaochan was timid and cowardly, and put a towel in her arms.
Wang Tianyu looked at the two of them with interest, not understanding what combination this person and demon were.
If they were Taoist boys, there was no intimacy between them as Taoist boys and masters. If they were personal maids, Xiaochan kept a certain distance from Anyang. If they were to be a spiritual pet monster, Anyang didn't seem to want this monster pet too much.
Xiaochan looked at Wang Tianyu vigilantly again, moved to the corner of the wall, took out a hard notebook from her arms, and looked through the fire. Her expression was extremely focused. Her eyes seemed to be glowing and shiny under the flames, but she had not forgotten her responsibilities. After looking at her for a while, she would raise her hand to observe the burning of the fire, fiddle or add firewood, and then look at Wang Tianyu vigilantly, and continue to lower her head to read her book.
Wang Tianyu touched his nose and felt a little confused. This was the first time since he grew up that he was so unwelcome, and he was still a little girl.
But soon he was attracted by the notebook in Xiaochan's arms. The notebook had a hard cardboard shell with exquisite patterns on it. On the far left was a circle of metal rings, which strung each piece of paper together, allowing him to open the book. The snow-white paper in it was something he had never seen before. It looked very tough, but the content was blocked by Xiaochan, and he couldn't see it clearly.
Not long after, a slight grunt sounded, attracting people's attention in the quiet hall.
Xiaochan immediately closed the notebook and looked forward with a bad look.
Anyang also opened his eyes.
Wang Tianyu smiled embarrassedly and bowed and said, "Sorry, I'm going to make you laugh. I only ate half a cake this morning and didn't eat it at noon. I'm still a little hungry."
Anyang nodded and looked outside, saying, "It's normal for human nature. It's not too early now. It's almost evening. It's normal for Brother Tianyu to be hungry. It happened that he bought a roast chicken and a little beef sauce in Kunlun Town today. I'll use it for dinner. Xiaochan, why don't you go to the carriage to get it."
Xiaochan quickly put the notebook in her arms, got up and ran out the door.
Wang Tianyu also stood up and said embarrassedly: "I brought some dry food here. Although it is not as fragrant as the roast chicken I just bought, I also have jerky meat from my hometown. I will take it out for Brother Anyang to try it."
A quarter of an hour later, the three of them sat around the fire for dinner. However, Wang Tianyu basically only ate the jerky he brought, and Anyang only ate the roast chicken and beef he bought himself. Although the two looked quite harmonious, they had only known each other for a long time. In this place, they were always on guard against others.
Xiaochan opened her notebook again, gnawing on a chicken leg while looking down, and was also on guard against Wang Tianyu opposite him.
Filling his stomach casually, Anyang wiped his mouth and looked at Wang Tianyu opposite him: "Brother Tianyu, do you know what happened to the Kunlun Banquet recently?"
Wang Tianyu was stunned: "Didn't Brother Anyang come for the Kunlun Banquet?"
Anyang was silent for a while and said, "It was for the Kunlun Banquet, but I just heard about this Kunlun Banquet for a while. I don't know the specific one yet, so I will explain it in detail by Brother Tianyu."
Wang Tianyu nodded, took a sip of water, and said, "This Kunlun Banquet is actually an exchange banquet in Kunlun Mountain. Once every ten years, it was founded by the ancestors of Kunlun Mountain. At first, it was to communicate and learn from other sects, learn from their strengths and weaknesses, and enhance the strengths of this sect. Later, Kunlun gradually grew stronger and gradually developed into a banquet that communicated with other sects and promoted the majesty of Kunlun. It was more about spreading the strengths of Kunlun. The advantages of other sects are rarely worthy of Kunlun learning."
"What about the outer hall?"
"This is created by the head of Kunlun Mountain about 300 years ago. It is said that it is to imitate the sages and preach the Taoist sages. It is said that they have no hidden selfishness. They are said to have no religion and are different. Even monsters can come to listen to it. In order to promote the style of Kunlun to those who practice Taoism in the world and expand the reputation of Kunlun Mountain, the effect is obvious. Now the word Kunlun has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. When it comes to the holy place of cultivation, everyone will think of Kunlun Mountain. Many people who yearn for freedom have come here to listen to the preaching of Kunlun Immortal Masters. They have gained a lot and have also inherited a love for Kunlun Mountain, especially some very dedicated monster practitioners."
Anyang nodded. He knew that he might be from another world and had different ideas, but the traditional Taoist practitioners in this world value the mind. Generally, after inheriting the feelings of a sect, they will do their best to repay them, especially some of the true monsters. They are simpler than human practitioners. Even if many people born cunning, they will definitely repay them if you treat them well.
A look of gossip appeared on Wang Tianyu's face: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, I heard that a disciple of Kunlun had met an evil ghost who had been practicing for 800 years while out. He almost died there. At the critical moment, a pig demon who had practiced for thousands of years came to help and rescued the disciple. A year ago, Kunlun Mountain had a conflict with the twelve Western Taoists, and the disciples sent were defeated step by step. They were still a group of monsters and Yousan Taoists who had received the favor of Kunlun Mountain took action and killed the twelve Western Taoists on Anma Mountain. Only three escaped."
Anyang became interested and frowned and said, "Then in this way, Kunlun Mountain still benefits a lot?"
"It's not just a lot of benefits. In fact, these monsters are still unwilling to meet with each other in Kunlun Mountain. They hope that these people will always owe their affection. When one day when something big happens in Kunlun really needs help, let these people or monsters help them, that is a great reward." Wang Tianyu said, and sighed again, "It's a pity that only Kunlun and Changge Cave have this courage. Other holy places for cultivation are too conservative, otherwise it would be a blessing for the Taoist scattered people in the world."
Anyang nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Changge Cave Palace and Kunlun Mountain seemed to be very famous for their holy places for practicing Taoism.
The practitioners in this world seem to have a kind of knot in their hearts that they need to overcome in various ways on the path of cultivation. Some will choose to travel around, some will choose to fall into the world, some will choose to find a beautiful place to build a Taoist temple and practice, and some will make kindness everywhere to help those in need. Even monsters have gone to the world because of the heart of Tao. If they receive favors from others and do not return them, they will leave knots in their hearts. This must be smoothed in the path of cultivation, otherwise they may not improve their cultivation.
But for some reason, he didn't have this thing. At most, he was just a little embarrassed to owe others favors.
Maybe the Kunlun Fight he practiced was different from the method of practicing Taoism in this world, or maybe it was because he came from another world, and the laws of this world could not restrict him, or maybe it was because his views were different, and he would not take other people's favors too seriously, so that he could not live without rewarding them.
Before she knew it, Xiaochan had already raised her ears.
She was originally afraid of those who practice Taoism, but when she heard that monsters would participate in the outer hall of Kunlun Mountain and contacted the familiar aura she felt when she was in the town, she immediately became interested and looked forward to the outer hall of Kunlun Mountain, but she was a little worried about whether Anyang would let her go, and she was very entangled.
"What's the exact appearance of the outer hall? Please give me advice from Brother Tianyu."
"The Kunlun Banquet has one month left, and the outer hall will begin at that time. Kunlun will open various halls, from the foundation of Taoism to the foundation of Taoism, from the astrology and fortune-telling methods to practice Taoism, and even the unique magic of Kunlun Mountain will be spread. If you have the fate, it is said that you may be invited to the inner hall to listen to the Taoist exchanges between Kunlun Mountain and other sects. That is the real feast of Taoism. But, these two are the same, lasting only for one month, and without repetition. How much you can understand and how much you learn depends entirely on personal opportunities."
