Chapter 74 Four Handsome Men and Three Wonders [Seeking monthly votes! ]
Liuyun Temple?
What is the meaning of Zhiguan?
One is on the top of the mountain and the other is on the mountainside.
Liang Yue smacked his head in his heart, thinking that there must be some reason why his master opened this Taoist temple in such a remote place.
The fire of gossip burned fiercely, and his eyes suddenly became playful.
Wang Rulin led him around the main gate of Liuyun Temple and came to the backyard wall. He secretly stuck to the wall and pricked up his ears to listen for a while before saying to Liang Yue, "Be smart when you see someone later."
"Yeah." Liang Yue responded, but he was not quite sure what the clever method was.
Should you run faster when you are discovered eavesdropping and are being chased by nuns? Or should you be more proactive in helping your master take the blame if they report you to the authorities?
After a moment, a voice suddenly came out from the other side of the wall, saying, "Old Wang, it's been so many years, why can't you change your despicable behavior? Why are you still eavesdropping outside the nunnery?"
"Bullshit!" Wang Rulin rolled up his sleeves and yelled at the other side of the wall, "I was afraid Yun'er would get angry. I was standing by the wall openly, how could I be eavesdropping?"
Another impatient female voice came from the other side, "Come in."
"Hey." Wang Rulin immediately smiled, chuckled, grabbed Liang Yue and said, "Follow me, Master."
He grabbed Liang Yue's shoulders, and leaped up, with one step seeming to cover a distance of a thousand feet. Liang Yue was in a trance for a moment, and felt that the world around him had reversed, and he once again felt the familiar rhyme of Tao.
Is this the power of heaven and earth?
When Wang Rulin landed, he saw clearly that the two of them were already in a bamboo forest.
Looking around, there were walls in the distance, and it seemed that we had arrived at Liuyun Temple. There were several stone tables in the bamboo forest, and several people of different appearances were sitting on them, using chopped and polished wooden stakes as stools.
The first person Wang Rulin looked at was a nun sitting in the middle.
She was wearing a light blue monk's robe and a monk's hat with a bright red flower on it. Her eyebrows and eyes were bright, her skin was as white as mutton-fat jade, but her eyes were cold and compelling.
He looks quite old, but apart from the weathered look in his eyes, there is no sign of aging.
At first glance, she should be the "Yun'er".
The other was a tall monk wearing a red and gold robe. He stood out more than the others when he sat there, with a compassionate face and a halo on his head.
The third one was a sloppy old Taoist priest, wearing a tattered Taoist robe that was even more unkempt than Wang Rulin's. His hair was disheveled and his face was covered in black mud, as if he hadn't washed his face in years.
Only the last one looked like an ordinary person. He was a middle-aged man wearing a solid-colored long gown, with a white face and no beard, and a warm smile on his face.
The four people were sitting around talking. When they saw Wang Rulin coming, the nun rolled her eyes, and the other three all smiled.
"Aiya, what's the wind that brings all these old friends here today?" Wang Rulin arrived and was the first to greet him, "This is my new disciple, Liang Yue. I just brought him here for you to meet."
He pointed at a few people and introduced them to Liang Yue, "My disciple, you must have heard of the legend of the Four Handsome Men and the Three Wonders, right? These three are the Three Wonders, the Hairpin Nun, Taoist Feng, and Zen Master Yun. This one is Xiao Wuchang, one of the Four Handsome Men."
"You are the Three Wonders! Your whole family is the Three Wonders!" The dirty old Taoist immediately retorted: "I am one of the Four Talents."
The big monk said slowly: "I am also one of the four handsome men."
The nun with the hairpin said helplessly, "Don't put me together with the two of them. It doesn't matter if I'm handsome or strange."
"No need to argue." The middle-aged man, who was undoubtedly Xiao Wuchang, smiled and said, "Let's follow the old rules. Whoever is here is handsome, and whoever is not here is strange."
Listening to the three people talking like this, Liang Yue was slightly shocked.
The people that my master brought me over the wall to see turned out to be the legendary four handsome men and three wonders?
……
The people of the South are like stars in the sky, and the four handsome men and three strange men shine in the two capitals.
Back then, they fought bloody battles in Frost North City and won the battle to capture the city. Whether it was Jiuyang or Yinchao, who didn't know their names in these twenty years?
Such a person is actually right in front of me.
"Disciples!" Wang Rulin finished introducing them and suddenly shouted, "These are all my closest friends. Why don't you kneel down and kowtow to the elders?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Yue's first reaction was surprise.
Back then, my master never asked me to kowtow in front of the statue of Master Zhuang Sheng, so why am I doing this outside?
However, he understood the intention the next moment, and immediately strode forward, saying loudly: "Junior Liang Yue, greetings to all the elders..."
"Hey, no need to be so polite." Taoist Feng waved his hand lightly, and a breeze lifted Liang Yue's body, making it impossible for him to salute.
"You just want a gift for meeting us?" Master Yun muttered, "When have you ever had any good intentions and brought your disciple to see us?"
"Hey, lame monk, what are you talking about?" Wang Rulin rolled up his sleeves, "You slander me like this in front of Yun'er, I'm going to fight you a bit."
"Master, Master." Liang Yue quickly grabbed Wang Rulin's sleeve and said, "Don't let your disciple ruin your friendship. It's not worth it!"
"My disciple, you don't understand." Wang Rulin said in a sad voice, "Master is so disappointed. We have been friends for more than 20 years, and they said that I brought you here to meet people for money. Do you know that Master has only accepted you as his personal disciple in this life, and he wanted you to recognize the elders..."
Liang Yue hurriedly said, "The innocent are innocent, Master. We want nothing and we don't want anything. Naturally, the elders will understand."
"Of course we don't want anything, but what if they insist on giving it to us?" Wang Rulin said loudly, "If an elder doesn't even give a little gift when he meets a younger generation for the first time, is that still a human way? If you don't accept it, it's not the courtesy of a younger generation. If you accept it, it's just a smear campaign against them! Disciple, I'm chilled by their words!"
"Master, you have given me everything that a disciple should have. I have everything I need. Naturally, we don't want anything. The elders will understand this!" Liang Yue immediately replied.
"Yes!" Wang Rulin said, "Now you just lack some precious medicines for the Armor-Forging Realm, such as the heart of dragon tendon wood, thousand-year-old turtle skin powder, earth soul essence, four yang fire seeds... But these things are not worth mentioning to your master, why do you need to ask outsiders for them? Disciple, let's go out and spread the word, let all friends in the world know how much these four handsome men and three wonders look down on their friends!" "Master, think twice!" Liang Yue said.
Wang Rulin insisted: "Let me go, don't pull me!"
"..."
The four people opposite were speechless.
"Stop pretending. We all know what you want." After a while, Taoist Feng was the first to shake his head and said, "What's the difference between this and ordering food in a restaurant?"
Zen Master Yun also sighed and said, "Forget it, let's take a break. I have a thousand-year-old turtle robe in Jilei Temple. I'll have someone send it over tomorrow."
"The child looks good, but it's a pity that he can't learn anything from you." The nun also shook her head and said, "I will refine the true essence of the earth spirit, and it will take shape in three days."
Xiao Wuchang looked at Feng Daoist and asked, "If I give you the dragon tendon wood, can you get the yang fire seeds?"
Taoist Feng scratched his head and said, "I know a Yang Fire nest. If you ask me to get two, I should be able to get them. But four is a bit difficult."
"Then I'll take the remaining two." Xiao Wuchang waved his hand, "Old Wang, please sit down."
"As long as it's us brothers, I'll say we'll be good friends for life." When Wang Rulin heard that all his requests were met, he immediately smiled, stopped crying and making a fuss, and directly found a tree bench to sit on.
Liang Yue stood behind him obediently and said nothing more.
"It really shows that you dote on this disciple. You gave him this precious armor-making medicine. If the Emperor of Yin Dynasty practiced martial arts, he would be no better than this, right?" Taoist Feng looked Liang Yue up and down, "Can he bear it?"
The more powerful the armor-making medicine, the greater the pressure on the body during armor-making. Forcibly improving the quality of the medicine may even cause casualties, which is why he asked this question.
"Heh." Wang Rulin smiled proudly, "My disciple has the appearance of a god! He is just at the Armor Forging Stage. Is there any medicine that he can't handle?"
"So confident?" Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Liang Yue.
Being the focus of so many big shots, it's hard not to feel a little nervous.
"Of course!" Wang Rulin raised his neck. "I trained him to participate in the battle to capture the city and fulfill my unfulfilled wish. How could he be an ordinary person?"
"Old Wang, I'm not trying to pour cold water on you." Xiao Wuchang said gently, "The battle to capture the city will last less than a year."
"You are just saying such big words in front of the nun." Taoist Feng shook his head and said, "This kid is only at the second level of cultivation. Even if he has a high talent, it is absolutely impossible for you to let him participate in the battle to capture the city in one year."
Wang Rulin sneered at Feng Daoist and said, "Old lunatic, do you dare to bet?"
"What do you want to bet on?" Taoist Feng was unwilling to be outdone.
"Forget it, old lunatic." Master Yun advised, "Haven't you suffered enough at his hands? When have we ever won?"
"I would lose in other things, but how can I lose in this?" Taoist Feng glanced at Liang Yue again and replied confidently, "Do you believe that I can participate in the battle to seize the city after practicing in the second realm for a year, or do you believe that I am the reincarnation of Zhuang Sheng?"
"Let me think about what else you can bet on?" Wang Rulin frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Let me bet on your divine wind wings. Do you dare?"
Taoist Feng said: "My divine wind wings are life-saving artifacts ranked in the top 100 of the Immortal Objects List. What do you want to bet with me?"
"Is it enough to take mine without leaving a name?" Wang Rulin responded.
"Master, Master." Liang Yue weakly tugged at Wang Rulin's sleeves twice from behind and whispered, "Hasn't it been given to me without leaving a name?"
"First of all, there is no way we can lose." Wang Rulin whispered back, "Secondly, if you can't participate in the battle to seize the city, then our master-disciple relationship will end here. Isn't it normal for me to take it back without leaving my name?"
"Then I'll bet with you." Taoist Feng said, "But I'll make it clear in advance that you can't regret it if you lose."
"Don't worry." Wang Rulin laughed, "I might have run away before, but now I will stay on this mountain and won't go anywhere."
Zanhua Ni said with annoyance: "No, you'd better run away."
"What if I leave and you get into danger?" Wang Rulin said in a very disgusting way, "I will stay by your side and protect you no matter what."
"Ahem." Xiao Wuchang cleared his throat and said, "I don't know if you noticed, but in the latest Tongtian Ranking, the nun of Zanhua ranked 32nd, and she has improved by a few places."
"I don't care!" Wang Rulin waved his hand and said, "In my heart, Yun'er is the most delicate flower in the world."
"Get out!" Zanhua Nun seemed to finally be unable to bear it anymore. She pushed with her left palm, and in an instant the situation changed and Wang Rulin suddenly disappeared from the spot.
Liang Yue, who was standing nearby, only heard a whistling sound and blinked in fright.
I looked to the side, where is my master?
What about a master as old as me?
"Your master was just knocked away. With his physical skills, he will be back soon. Don't worry." Xiao Wuchang comforted him.
"Okay..." Liang Yue looked at the elders in front of him who had great cultivation.
Is it my Master that I am worried about?
I'm worried about myself!
He said you are friends, and it seems like your relationship is just average.
Who knows if there is any old grudge, and whether he will suddenly attack me to vent his anger?
