Chapter 318 Suspect Ape [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]
Seeing that Liang Yue had no place to live, Monk Yuansheng said kindly: "If you don't mind, you can share a place with me..."
Qi Yingwu and Chen Xuan, who were standing by, covered their mouths and hugged their legs respectively, and threw him aside without letting him interrupt.
After a pause, Wen Yifan said, "My room downstairs is empty anyway, so you can stay there."
Liang Yue immediately looked grateful, "Senior Sister Wen is still the best to me."
Wen Yifan rolled his eyes at him, turned around and walked back, saying, "Because of Uncle Wang, the people on Yujing Peak may not be very friendly to you. If you stay here with me, they should not embarrass you anymore."
Liang Yue smiled and said, "From this point of view, Uncle Chen is better. Although we are both from Yujing Peak, he has no prejudice against me."
"Maybe it's because Uncle Chen is not welcome in the mountain gate." Wen Yifan said lightly.
"Ah?" Liang Yue had no idea about this.
"Sanqing Mountain is the ancestral home of Xuanmen. All those who can enter Yujing Peak to practice want to inherit the mantle of Master Zhanxuan, cultivate the great way, and achieve holiness." Wen Yifan said, "But Uncle Chen has the highest talent, but he doesn't work hard in his practice. He is often lazy, and his progress in practice is faster than that of his fellow brothers. It's really infuriating. Moreover, he is from an aristocratic family, and he can't get rid of worldly thoughts. He ran down the mountain to deal with court affairs in the middle of his practice. People on the mountain have complaints about this. But Master Zhanxuan agreed, so no one has anything to say."
It turns out that in the eyes of many orthodox Qigong practitioners, people on the mountain should not care about what happens below the mountain. Even if the country collapses, it is nothing more than a change of dynasty, a new group of people who eat salary, what does it have to do with people who practice cultivation?
It was incomprehensible to them that Chen Su brought a group of Xuanmen disciples to deal with the Zhuxie Division.
As for the delicate relationship between the Xuanmen and the imperial court, and the game of changing world situations, they neither cared nor understood.
But Master Zhang Xuan and Chen Su naturally understood that practitioners should not only eliminate demons and monsters when they defend the Dao. The affairs of the court cannot affect Sanqing Mountain, but they can affect the people of the world. If the people suffer, evil will appear in the four seas and nine states, and then the foundation of Sanqing Mountain will also be affected.
Chen Su's entry into the court was actually an attempt to correct the problem at its root.
However, after this incident, Chen Su left Yujing Peak, which should not be the main reason why he was unwelcome.
Liang Yue put himself in his shoes and thought about it. If there is such a person around him, he will sleep when you are practicing hard, and go out to play when you are practicing diligently. Obviously, you entered the sect earlier than him, but his cultivation level has always been higher than yours, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger. He is not only a child of aristocratic family, but also famous at a young age.
This person always looks at you with a mocking smile...
I guess I would feel itchy too.
After Wen Yifan returned to the attic, Liang Yue lived in the room on the second floor, and no conversation lasted that night.
……
Early the next morning, everyone lined up again on the hillside. Taoist Feng, Zen Master Yun and Xu Zhan'ao stood in one place and accompanied Yang Wuqi forward.
Yang Wuqi said in a clear voice: "You are new here, and I have prepared a welcome gift for you at Yujing Peak. Follow me to the Spiritual Seed Garden behind the peak later, and you can each pick a spiritual plant, and I will be responsible for refining it into a pill and give it to you."
"Thank you!" When everyone heard this, they naturally thanked him repeatedly.
Then he followed Yang Wuqi forward. Not far ahead, he saw a straight and narrow road with towering cliffs on both sides. On the cliffs on both sides were white jade protrusions, with continuous carvings of demon-slaying pictures, which seemed to be from the immortal masters of the Xuanmen sect from generation to generation.
This should be the Xuantian painted wall mentioned yesterday. When Wen Yifan looked at these jade walls, his eyes turned and he seemed to be able to identify which ones were the ancestors of the Wen family.
Passing through the painted wall corridor, there is a misty garden in front. You cannot see the scenery inside from the outside. Only at the gate, there is a big black ape about a meter tall guarding it. It has strong muscles and looks majestic, with a wisp of fiery red mane on its back.
"This is the Spirit Seed Garden of Yujing Peak. It contains the spiritual plants that my Yin-Yang lineage has nurtured for thousands of years. Originally, there were not so many formations here..." As he spoke, Yang Wuqi turned around and glanced at Liang Yue.
Liang Yue blinked and turned his gaze away, thinking to himself, it wasn't me who stole it, so stop looking at me.
The most I enjoyed was a plant of Orchidaceae, and the most I can do is to give you my share as compensation.
Upon seeing Yang Wuqi, the fire ape guarding the gate immediately turned around, opened the door, and respectfully welcomed everyone in.
Inside is a spacious spiritual plant garden. Each plant is surrounded by a separate fence. Because they have a great demand for spiritual power, they cannot be planted together. Each spiritual plant has its own large piece of land and is far apart from each other.
There are pavilions scattered across the large open space, each guarded by a large black ape.
Liang Yue was curious and asked in a low voice: "Are these monkeys spiritual beasts domesticated by the Yin-Yang lineage?"
"They are the natives of Yujing Peak. Originally, this entire mountain was the territory of the Fire Ape Clan. After the Xuan Sect established its sect here, Zhuang Sheng gave them two choices." Shang Yunhai explained to him, "One is to find another place with sufficient spiritual energy for them to live; the other is to stay in Yujing Peak and live with the Xuan Sect, and work for the Xuan Sect in exchange for resources for cultivation."
"The Fire Ape Clan chose the latter and bound themselves to the Xuanmen Clan. Since then, the clan has indeed prospered, and now they can be seen in many places on Yujing Peak."
Liang Yue looked at a fire ape not far away with a thoughtful look on his face.
At this time, Yang Wuqi also stopped and said, "You can choose from this spiritual seed garden by yourselves. Just stand there and let the fire ape pick it for you. If you don't know what you need, you can tell me what you need and I will pick one for you."
After entering the Spirit Seed Garden, everyone realized how generous Yujing Peak was.
The gift was a spiritual plant, and they also helped to make elixirs. I thought they were just ordinary stuff. Most of the people present were from wealthy families, so they wouldn't think it was a big deal.
But when they came in, they saw that each of the spiritual plants here was at least hundreds of years old, and each one was precious and very rare outside. Everyone knew what was good, and knew how popular these spiritual plants would be if they were taken out.
But on Yujing Peak, they were planted randomly, without even a formation to prevent thieves.
Until the first thief who dared to steal in Yujing Peak appeared.
"Wait a moment." At this time, Liang Yue suddenly raised his hand and said, "I have something to say."
"Oh?" Yang turned around without discrimination.
Then Liang Yue said, "Last night I was attacked in a thatched house by the river, and the house was burned down. Just now, I found the suspect... no, the suspect ape."
He pointed at the fire ape standing in a pavilion in front of him and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, this is the murderer!"
