Chapter 1786 Honorary Elder (Will Be Updated in the Evening)
How did Baili Xuanyin know that Liang Yan was so polite, but he also had ulterior motives?
But she was indeed happy in her heart. The Yuzhu Mountain orthodoxy was preserved and the sect's holy land was not destroyed in her hands. All of this was thanks to the person in front of her. How could she not look at him differently?
Seeing Liang Yan's humility, Baili Xuanyin also smiled and said: "Having said that, Palace Master Liang still has great kindness. We at Yuzhu Mountain are not ignorant of the kindness and have prepared generous gifts. Please come to Lingxu Palace with Palace Master Liang." Sit down for a moment.”
After hearing this, Liang Yan of course agreed and walked all the way up the mountain.
Baili Xuanyin descended the steps and arrived with Liang Yan, and then the two of them went up the mountain side by side, regardless of height.
The girls followed behind, chatting all the way, mostly about elegant things, and introduced Liang Yan to the scenic spots and historical sites of Yuzhu Mountain as well as the origins of the allusions. Liang Yan was very polite, nodding frequently and praising the beauty of Yuzhu Mountain.
In this way, we walked all the way to Lingxu Palace.
This palace is the most solemn place in Yuzhu Mountain. The entire palace is made of "Qingxu Bamboo". The white jade is light green, fresh and refined, and elegant.
Baili Xuanyin introduced Liang Yan into the palace, and everyone sat down separately. There were female disciples around who offered spiritual tea and fairy fruits. They talked and laughed for a while, and then Baili Xuanyin said with a smile: "I really want to talk about it. Gong’s life was also saved by Palace Master Liang. If it weren’t for Palace Master Liang’s intervention, You Yue and Yu Xiaolong might not be able to bring my true spirit and body back.”
After hearing this, Liang Yan chuckled and said: "In the battle at Wuzhuang Mountain, my two Taoist friends Nan Youyue and Yu Xiaolong had the same position and were allies. Now in the battle between the north and the south, Wushuang City and Yuzhu Mountain are our allies again. , this shows that the fate is not shallow.”
"exactly."
Baili Xuanyin nodded and said: "Palace Master Liang is not only very kind to me, but also very kind to our Yuzhu Mountain. I have prepared some small gifts, although I can't repay Palace Master Liang's great kindness." One, but at least we can express our feelings."
After saying that, he gestured with his eyes to the left and right, and immediately some disciples went out. Within a moment, female cultivators walked into the hall one after another carrying more than 20 boxes.
Baili Xuanyin waved his hand, and the boxes were opened one after another. The rosy light rose into the sky, passed through the Lingxu Palace, and condensed into a canopy of auspicious clouds on the top of the mountain, which lingered for a long time.
Even though Liang Yan was well-informed, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw the treasures in these boxes.
"Ten thousand years of cold marrow, glazed jade bamboo. These are treasures of great value. Yuzhu Mountain has spent a lot of money this time!"
He was surprised in his heart, but remained calm on the surface. He sat down in his seat and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Baili, this is not a small gift. With so many valuable treasures, I am afraid that Mr. Liang deserves it."
Baili Xuanyin chuckled and said: "Compared with the orthodoxy of our sect, these are nothing. I am temporarily acting as the head of the sect. This kind of thing is still my responsibility. Palace Master Liang, please feel free to accept it."
After hearing this, Liang Yan nodded, but did not immediately collect the treasure. Instead, he smiled and said nothing.
This time it was Baili Xuanyin's turn to be surprised and thought about it: "What? Could it be that these things are still inaccessible to Palace Master Liang?"
"That's not true."
Liang Yan sighed and said: "These treasures are not ordinary things, but Liang has a heart and wants fellow Taoist Baili to fulfill his wish. If fellow Taoist agrees, I don't have to give up any of these treasures."
After hearing this, Baili Xuanyin frowned slightly and said slowly, "Come and listen?"
Liang Yan stopped smiling at this time, straightened his clothes, stood up from his seat, with a solemn expression on his face, raised his hands to Baili Xuanyin and said:
"I have heard for a long time that Yuzhu Mountain is the holy land of Confucian music. Although Liang is not talented, he is also interested in this Tao. He wants to see the secret skills left by the Confucian sages. He is sincere and dare not hide it. He also hopes to see fellow Taoists from Baili. Complete!"
Baili Xuanyin was shocked and blurted out: "You want to learn my Yuzhu Mountain's 'Heaven and Earth Xuanyin'?"
"Exactly!" Liang Yan said calmly.
Baili Xuanyin's eyes widened and he stared at Liang Yan, and even his breath showed subtle changes.
The female disciples present were a little at a loss. One moment they were guests and they had great favors from Yuzhu Mountain, but the next moment they made shocking remarks. At this time, they couldn't even turn their heads. They didn't know whether to show anger or shock.
Liang Yan always had a calm expression on his face, without a hint of disrespect, but he also didn't have the slightest hint of timidity.
He waved his hand, and nine golden treasure boxes appeared on the ground. When the lids of the boxes were opened, the treasure aura soared into the sky, and auspicious clouds surrounded them, dyeing the quiet Lingxu Palace golden.
"Liang knew that this request was a bit abrupt, so he also prepared a generous gift. As long as Yuzhushan agrees to give me a chance to comprehend the 'Xuanyin of Heaven and Earth', regardless of success or failure, all these treasures will be given to me. As for Baili Dao Liang will not take any of the things given by his friends!"
When Baili Xuanyin heard this, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "It seems that Palace Master Liang is well prepared for this trip."
Liang Yan knew that it was useless to deceive in front of such people, and would only cause discord, so it was better to be frank and said with a smile: "It's also a chance, it's also a coincidence. Liang came here because of his fame, and happened to encounter a group of demons surrounding the mountain. He was already asking for something." How can your noble sect be willing to stand by and watch?"
Baili Xuanyin sighed: "Palace Master Liang is quite magnanimous. If any other outsider dared to say such words in Lingxu Palace, I would give my entire sect's support even if I risked my life." Kill them with all your strength, except you."
"Your Excellency, with one person's power, blocked Beiming's 100,000-strong army, helped me in Yuzhu Mountain to wipe out the demons, and preserved the sect's orthodoxy. This is God's grace and cannot be repaid. You have to use this kindness in exchange for an opportunity to comprehend. It makes sense.”
"only"
When Baili Xuanyin said this, he stopped suddenly and showed a look of deep thought.
Liang Yan knew there was something going on and was secretly happy, but he didn't dare to neglect it. He hurriedly asked, "How about it? Fellow Taoist Baili said clearly that no matter what the conditions are, we can discuss them."
Baili Xuanyin suddenly smiled, blinked his eyes and said: "This 'Heaven and Earth Xuanyin' is a unique skill of our sect. The rule is that it is passed on to the inside but not to outsiders. If Palace Master Liang insists on learning it, I have a way. Not only can we not break the rules, but we can also allow Palace Master Liang to get what he wants."
"What method?" Liang Yan asked almost subconsciously without thinking too much.
I heard Baili Xuanyin laugh and say: "It's quite simple. I have more than two thousand disciples on Yuzhu Mountain and one thousand six hundred unmarried couples. They are all female cultivators with excellent qualifications and beautiful appearance. I see Liang Gong There is a great hero in the world, but there is a lack of Taoist companions around me. Why not choose a good match in my Yuzhu Mountain, join the family and practice together, and realize the Tao together. In this way, I can be considered as half of Yuzhu Mountain's disciples, and I can also learn the master's secrets. In addition, I The palace will also use the sect’s resources to organize a glorious double cultivation ceremony for you, which will never disgrace the reputation of Palace Master Liang. Isn’t this the best of both worlds?”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the venue changed subtly.
The elders and disciples of Yuzhu Mountain all looked at Nan Youyue. Although Baili Xuanyin said that Liang Yan would choose a good match in Yuzhu Mountain, no one could tell that this person could only be Nan Youyue!
Seeing everyone's eyes sweeping over, Nan Youyue's mind went blank.
She didn't expect Baili Xuanyin to say this suddenly. She was stunned for a moment, and then her pretty face suddenly turned red, from the roots of her ears to her neck.
Seeing her in such embarrassment, Hongyun couldn't help but secretly laugh, and thought: "Junior sister, junior sister, you have a heart of ice, but you also have thoughts of dust. It can be seen that the harmony of yin and yang is the way of heaven, how can there be any truth? You were not stained by dust before, then The nemesis has not yet been seen, but now that the nemesis has arrived, it has fallen from the clouds into the mortal world."
Thinking of Liang Yan again, I felt that he was indeed a hero, worthy of his junior sister. I imagined the two of them standing side by side, they would be a perfect match, and they would be incomparable.
Chu Hua, however, had ulterior motives and secretly praised: "Uncle is worthy of being a master. This move is a good one. Not only does the younger sister get her wish, but our Yuzhu Mountain is also married to Wushuang City. In these troubled times, we are about to gain another level." Guarantee, with Liang Yan's relationship, if something happens to Yuzhu Mountain in the future, Linghu Bai will not be able to ignore it, not to mention that Liang Yan himself is also a big supporter, and his future future is limitless."
Everyone had their own thoughts, but Nan Youyue's mind was a mess.
She was originally a cold-blooded person, calm in every situation and calm in the face of danger. However, the incident with Liang Yan made her completely confused.
After practicing Taoism for thousands of years, her secular family members have long since disappeared. Baili Xuanyin is both her master and her parents. When the parents suddenly mentioned this matter, the daughter was really not prepared at all. She just felt ashamed and wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
But there was a bit of expectation in my heart. This feeling was like the hazy window paper being pierced. Although I was shy, I also wanted to know the answer. I couldn't help but raise my eyes and look at Liang Yan secretly.
But he saw that Liang Yan was not squinting, his face was calm, he cupped his hands to Baili Xuanyin and said: "Yuzhu Mountain is a sacred place for Confucianism, with outstanding people. All the disciples on the mountain are beautiful and have good aptitudes. It is a lucky coincidence that Liang has this blessing." . However, Liang already has a Taoist companion, and he will never change his mind in this life. But what Taoist friend Baili said is not something he can accept."
"What? You already have a Taoist companion?"
Baili Xuanyin had a look of surprise on his face and subconsciously glanced at Nan Youyue beside him. He saw that this woman's face was pale, and her blood suddenly disappeared.
"No, this girl's mood is up and down, I'm afraid her Taoist heart will be damaged!" Baili Xuanyin secretly thought that something was wrong, but there was nothing he could do about it, and he suddenly felt a little resentful towards Liang Yan.
Liang Yan also knew that something was not good, but he could not hide it. He had to say it clearly, otherwise it would harm his Taoism and cause endless troubles.
"In this case, there is nothing I can do. The 'Xuanyin of Heaven and Earth' is spread internally but not externally. This has been an iron rule for hundreds of thousands of years. You are not a member of my Yuzhu Mountain disciple. Even if you have great kindness, you cannot enter." "Huan Yin Qin Hai', please forgive me, Palace Master Liang!" Baili Xuanyin said calmly.
Although her tone was very polite when she said this, she was not as enthusiastic as before and was obviously a bit colder.
This is helpless. Although Baili Xuanyin is the acting sect master and puts the overall situation first in everything, Nan Youyue and Yu Xiaolong are her only direct disciples. Compared to the latter, Nan Youyue has been following her since thousands of years ago. Baili Xuanyin was raised by her since she was a child, and she regarded her as her own, no different from her biological daughter.
Therefore, seeing that Nan Youyue was heartbroken, Baili Xuanyin also brought some personal feelings to her, which were revealed in her words.
Liang Yan frowned slightly and said slowly: "Can't we be accommodating once? Liang has also made great efforts for Yuzhu Mountain. If fellow Taoist Baili can give me this opportunity, Liang promises that if he attains the Great Dao in the future, he will I will protect Yuzhu Mountain to the best of my ability."
Baili Xuanyin sighed and was about to say goodbye when a voice from beside him said, "Let Palace Master Liang become the honorary elder of my Yuzhu Mountain, so that you can enter the Phantom Sea and practice the mysterious sounds of heaven and earth."
The person who spoke was none other than Nan Youyue.
Although her face was still pale, her eyes had returned to calm. Only a strand of hair was slightly messy in front of her forehead. For some reason, it made people feel pity.
"Honorary elder?" Baili Xuanyin frowned slightly, but this was the first time he heard this statement.
"In troubled times, there is no need to be conservative. The so-called honorary elders are treated the same as elders. They do not have to report to the mountain master, let alone stay on the mountain. They only need to help the sect when it is in trouble. If Palace Master Liang If you can agree to this condition, you will be considered a member of my Yuzhu Mountain and can enter the 'Phantom Sound Qin Sea'."
Nan Youyue's tone was very calm. From the beginning to the end, she did not look at Liang Yan, as if she was stating something that had nothing to do with her.
After hearing this, Liang Yan's heart moved. This method is feasible, but he still has some concerns. He couldn't help but ask: "Seven mountains and twelve cities stand side by side. Although Wushuang City is not a sect, the people who serve in the city can only be ordinary sects." Disciples, 'Seven Mountains' are not among them."
"Do not worry."
Nan Youyue's voice was soft, interrupting Liang Yan's words, and said slowly: "Honorary elder is just a position title. Brother Dao is still the master of the Bihai Palace and is not my disciple of Yuzhu Mountain. There is no conflict between the two. Besides, in troubled times, The rules can be flexible, I believe Senior Linghu will not blame you."
After hearing this, Liang Yan couldn't help but feel grateful. He glanced at Nan Youyue, only to see the latter lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.
"Oh, idiot!"
Baili Xuanyin sighed in his heart, knowing that Nan Youyue still couldn't let go of Liang Yan in her heart. Even though she knew that the other party had a Taoist companion, she still gave him advice.
She loved her apprentice very much, so she had no choice but to follow her whim. Besides, Liang Yan was indeed very kind to Yuzhushan, even if he had to change the rules for him.
It's just a pity that Nan Youyue's infatuation was ultimately in vain.
"Forget it, since Yue'er has proposed this to Palace Master Liang, let me ask you, are you willing to be my honorary elder of Yuzhu Mountain?"
Liang Yan had no hesitation at this time and immediately replied: "Liang is willing!"
"good!"
Baili Xuanyin nodded and said: "Palace Master Liang, please rest one night on my Yuzhu Mountain. Tomorrow morning, I will host the elder conferment ceremony for you. In addition, 'Huan Yin Qin Hai' is the holy land of our sect. After Liang Daoyou becomes an elder, , you still need to burn incense and bathe for three days before you can enter."
"Everything depends on fellow Taoist Baili."
