Chapter 246: Discussion?
When Chu Qing heard the words 'Vajra Gate Enlightenment', his expression did not change, he just glanced at Guan Changying lightly.
Guan Changying smiled when he saw this:
"Thank you all heroes for your hard work in preparing for this sword-granting ceremony.
"In the past few days, masters from various sects have come here one after another...
"Third Master, I need to go to the mountain gate to welcome guests, so I will not accompany you for long."
Chu Qing smiled and said:
"Speaking of which, I have long admired the high monks of the Vajra Sect. I wonder if it would be convenient for me to go with Brother Guan?"
Guan Changying was stunned for a moment, then said:
"If the Third Young Master is willing, then of course it's fine."
Chu Qing stood up:
"please."
"please."
Guan Changying quickly stood up and walked out of the room first.
Other people in the yard also heard the noise. Seeing Chu Qing and Guan Changying were about to go out, Wu Qianhuan asked a question. After getting Chu Qing's answer, she expressed her desire to follow along to see the fun.
Although Wenrou didn't say anything, she followed Wu Qianhuan silently, and her meaning of following her closely was quite clear.
Hua Jinnian would naturally not miss such an opportunity...
In the end, only Wuchan was left here.
After all, this monk has a clear distinction between love and hate, and is very simple. If he turns around and sees Wudao, he would rush up to fight him, which would be inappropriate.
Guan Changying was a little confused. He originally thought that he was taking Chu Qing alone to watch the fun.
Unexpectedly, everyone around Chu Qing loves to watch the fun... I came here alone, but I left with a large group of people...
But since the other party wanted to follow, Guan Changying naturally couldn't refuse.
Then the person who explained Tai Heng Sect to Chu Qing and others changed from Shan Lan to Guan Changying.
Of course, as the upcoming young leader of Tai Heng Sect, welcoming the distinguished guest could not be so simple. Many disciples naturally gathered along the way, and then Chu Qing saw Chen Buyu again.
Chen Buyu was originally chatting and laughing with other brothers, but when he saw Chu Qing, he immediately shut up.
Chu Qing greeted him:
"Brother Chen, we meet again."
Chen Buyu nodded silently to Chu Qing.
Guan Changying smiled and said:
"Third Young Master, do you know my Junior Brother Chen?"
"The locust tree forest where he and Shan Lan went down the mountain together..."
Chu Qing smiled and said:
"Besides, for such an interesting person, it is natural that I will have a deep memory of him."
"really."
Guan Changying nodded:
"Junior Brother Chen's words are always fresh in people's memory... But speaking of it, Junior Brother Chen's uncle is also a senior of our Tai Heng Sect, but he is not in the mountain now."
"Oh?"
Chu Qing asked: "Which senior is it?"
"Master Chen went down the mountain and founded an escort agency. It was the Iron Sword of Nanling, Chen Zhengnan!"
Guan Changying said seriously.
"It turns out it was him..."
Chu Qing nodded suddenly:
"I had guessed it when I heard his last name, but it was hard to force it. I never expected that he was actually the nephew of Chief Escort Chen.
"Speaking of which, I have met Chief Escort Chen once before. We met at Qimei Villa in the territory of Tiexuetang, and we even joined forces to fight the enemy..."
Chen Buyu suddenly looked up at Chu Qing:
"Did he cause you any trouble?"
"..."
Chu Qing didn't know how to reply for a moment.
Guan Changying originally wanted to ask what was going on, but when he heard this, he felt his brain skip a beat and he forgot what he wanted to ask.
After a while, Chu Qing said:
"Why didn't I cause him trouble..."
“He is a very rigid person who follows the rules…A gentleman can be deceived by his methods, precisely because his actions have traces to follow.
"He is just that kind of person. If people were to understand his personality, character, and style of doing things, he would be easily targeted and hindered at every step...
"It is you, Third Young Master, who act lawless and recklessly, making it difficult for people to understand you."
It would be fine if Chen Buyu didn't speak, but once he spoke, he rarely left anyone a way out.
Chu Qing was speechless for a moment:
"How come I am lawless, reckless, and unpredictable?"
"In front of the Imperial Sword Pavilion, you killed my Tai Heng Sect disciples, and you still dare to say that you are not lawless and wanton?
"Things have come to such a turmoil, but you raised them high and then put them down gently. Isn't that unpredictable?"
Chen Buyu glanced at Chu Qing:
"You suddenly followed my Senior Brother Guan to the mountain gate to welcome guests, I'm afraid you didn't have good intentions.
"What's your plan?"
"shut up."
Guan Changying quickly stopped him:
"The Third Young Master is an honored guest. He is just curious when he comes with me to the mountain gate to welcome the guest... Besides, as the saying goes, heroes appreciate heroes. The Vajra Sect is well-known. What's so strange about the Third Young Master wanting to interact with the masters of the Vajra Sect?"
Chen Buyu stopped talking immediately, but he was not convinced in his heart.
The Vajra School is famous...but it is hard to evaluate its enlightenment.
In the past few years, the reputation of the Vajra Sect has been declining day by day.
In comparison, how could a rising star like Chu Qing, who was as brilliant and dazzling as a contemporary genius, take the Vajra Sect seriously?
To put it bluntly, are Chu Qing qualified to meet the people from the Vajra Sect?
Otherwise, why didn't the head master go to pick them up in person?
Besides, the head master did not go to meet the people from the Vajra Sect, but personally went to welcome the Third Young Master. It is easy to imagine which is more important.
The reason why we didn't greet them before arriving at the mountain gate was because we didn't receive the news in advance.
Who would have thought that a few disciples would go down the mountain and bring back such a person? Otherwise, the disciples would have lined the road and formed a sword formation to welcome him, which should have been the scene set up in front of the mountain gate.
I pondered these contents in my mind, but in the end, I didn't say a word.
Chu Qing looked at Chen Buyu deeply and always treated him differently.
It's not just because he and Mo Duxing have some similarities, but also because this person has some very attractive qualities.
If there was something to talk about, it would be long; if there was nothing to talk about, it would be short. In the blink of an eye, the group arrived at the mountain gate.
The Tai Heng Sect disciples had lined up in front of the mountain gate. Guan Changying stood on the steps, dressed in white, with a sword hanging from his waist. He looked tall and straight, and extraordinary.
Chu Qing and others, as guests, stood on one side and watched secretly.
But Wudao and others were still not here.
On the other side of Jiancheng, a group of monks were walking through the streets.
In the front were eight warrior monks with half of their shoulders exposed, each with a square-shaped body and huge Buddhist beads hanging on their chest. They moved like dragons and tigers, looking very majestic.
Further behind them were four novice monks, holding flower baskets in their hands.
The basket is filled with flower petals, and I don’t know where they came from in this dead of winter.
Behind the novice monk was a soft sedan chair with a lotus pedestal, and a light veil covering all sides to block the view.
But vaguely, one could see a monk sitting in the middle, wearing a Vimalakirti hat and a cassock. He sat upright on a lotus platform, and the sound of his chanting was incessant, reaching the ears of many people as they walked along the road.
This attracted the attention of the people in Jiancheng.
Further behind them were the other disciples of the Vajra Sect.
Walking at the end were still the eight monks… one in front and one behind, forming a protective posture.
Suddenly, an old monk with a haggard face slowly came to the side of the sedan chair and spoke softly:
"It seems like we're a little late... Should we hurry up?"
"Just let them wait." The chanting in the sedan stopped, and a subtle voice fell into the ears of the old monk:
"A sword-granting ceremony has brought you and me together. Everyone in Tai Heng Sect feels greatly grateful. What's the big deal about waiting a little longer?"
The old monk was silent for a moment, then said:
"Lingxin has never returned, and I always have a bad feeling in my heart."
"Um……"
Wu Dao seemed to ponder for a moment, then said:
“It has long been rumored that Wu Chan died at the hands of that Crazy Knife Master.
"Now, whether Ling Xin returns or not is no longer important. Even if Senior Brother Hui Ji discovered something, I will personally go to Fan Jing City and kill him after this matter is resolved.
"The things of the past will eventually be buried under the dust. Master (Note 1), you should relax and don't confine yourself to a small place... Otherwise, not only will it be difficult to achieve the [Nayuta Sutra], but your own martial arts will also be like sailing against the current..."
"But there is one thing you must not forget."
Zen Master Xingzhi sneered:
"At Mr. Shen's birthday banquet, that Master Kuang Dao once said that Wu Chan recounted his life to him... It's hard to say whether this Third Master knows about what happened back then?"
Wu Dao remained silent for a long while, and then Fang spoke:
"Whether this is true or not is still a matter of debate. You have to know that the Crazy Blade Master was originally going after Shen Juke...
"What he said about Wuchan may not be true."
"Whether Wuchan is alive or dead is also unknown."
"..."
Wu Dao was entangled for a while:
“If he were still alive, if Master Huiji had really told him what happened back then.
"He will always return to the Vajra Gate and fall into the trap.
"When the time comes, just kill him."
"Ugh……"
Zen Master Xingzhi sighed:
"I have never done anything so shameful in my life. My inner demons torment me day and night. I feel like I would rather die than live..."
"enough."
There was a hint of anger in Wudao's voice:
"It's already been done, what's the point of talking about it now? Isn't it because of that desperate gamble that you have been able to enjoy these twenty years of peace and tranquility?
“Otherwise… once Wuchan became a Buddhist disciple and the head of the Vajra Sect.
"Will there be any good results for both of us?"
Upon hearing this, Zen Master Xingzhi looked up at the hazy figure on the lotus platform. He sighed softly after a while. Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more.
He slowed down his pace slightly and merged into the crowd, becoming an inconspicuous old monk.
The sound of chanting scriptures was heard again, and when I looked up again, Taiheng Gate was already in sight.
The flower petals in the basket in the little monk's hand finally found a use.
As the sound of chanting rang out and flower petals fluttered in the air, everyone exerted their strength at the same time, performing light skills and running towards Tai Heng Gate.
From afar, one could see monks flying over among the fluttering petals. Above the lotus pedestal, the gauze curtain was blown up by the wind, revealing the solemn and majestic appearance of the enlightened ones.
He chanted scriptures and his internal energy circulated as a Buddha's shadow loomed above his head.
"Welcome all the masters of the Vajra Sect to the Taiheng Sect!"
Guan Changying exhaled and spoke, and the disciples on both sides drew their swords at the same time, waving their swords and repeating the words they had just spoken.
By the time the last word was uttered, everyone from the Vajra Gate had already stood still.
Then I heard the voice of enlightenment, like a gentle spring breeze:
"Thank you for waiting here for so long."
"It should."
Guan Changying took a step forward:
"You all have come all the way to attend this sword-granting ceremony. We have only waited for a short while, so it is nothing...
"Junior Guan Changying greets Master Wudao."
He clasped his hands together and bowed.
"Are you Guan Changying?"
Wudao's eyes fell on Guan Changying, and he chanted "Amitabha", then smiled and said:
"The young donor is indeed a handsome man, a dragon among men.
"In the future, when Tai Heng Sect falls into your hands, it will surely be able to make further progress...
“Come to think of it, you are about the same age as my eldest disciple, but he has work to do, so I’m afraid he won’t be able to attend this event.
"My second disciple Ling Jue is right beside me. If you have time, you can protect each other and learn from each other."
"it is good."
Guan Changying agreed immediately.
Since it is a competition between peers, there is naturally nothing to be afraid of.
Of course, peers like Chu Qing don’t count… In fact, up to now, no one has considered Chu Qing as a peer.
The difference in martial arts is really too great.
"Brother Guan is a man of few words."
A black-robed monk came out from behind the sedan chair and said with a chuckle:
"In that case, it's better to do it today than today. I think Senior Brother Guan will be very busy in the next few days. In my opinion, how about we have a competition today?"
Guan Changying was stunned, then looked up at Wu Dao:
"Master Wudao, what does this mean?"
"Spiritual perception, don't mess around."
Wu Dao immediately rebuked:
"The sword-granting ceremony is approaching, and you, Senior Brother Guan, need to focus on it. How can you have the time to mess around with you here?"
"But Master... I just wanted to have a sparring match with Senior Brother Guan. It can't be considered fooling around. Besides, in a duel, one should stop when the time is right. Senior Brother Guan, are you worried about getting injured and not being able to attend the sword-giving ceremony?
"Brother Guan, don't worry. I will never slap you in the face."
Guan Changying burst into laughter upon hearing this. He was really angry.
However, things have come to this point, and the people from the Vajra Gate have already put him in a dangerous position. If he does not agree, it will not be good if word gets out in the future.
The young leader of Tai Heng Sect was afraid before the battle, Tai Heng Sect was afraid of Vajra Sect... There would definitely be voices like these.
The way to break the impasse is to fight, and to win the battle.
But just as Guan Changying reached out to press the hilt of the sword, a sneer suddenly rang out:
"Interesting. Knowing that the sword-granting ceremony is about to take place, he still wants to drag him to compete in martial arts...
"They treated you politely, but you came to their door and acted like jerk. Are the people of the King Kong Sect so shameless?"
"who!?"
Lingjue was furious and looked around for the source of the sound.
Guan Changying suddenly turned around and saw Chu Qing and his group walking slowly towards him. The world-famous Third Young Master patted him on the shoulder and said with a chuckle:
“You want to spar so much, come on, I’ll spar with you.
"You and I are of similar age, so I don't think it's the case that the elder is bullying the younger."
Ling Jue snorted coldly:
"Who the hell are you? Are you worthy enough to spar with me?"
Guan Changying looked at Lingjue with pity:
"This is Master Kuang Dao. Master Ling Jue, please be careful with your words and actions. Be careful of what you say."
Spiritual perception: “?”

Note 1: The previous text wrote them as master and disciple, which is a generation difference... It has been corrected.
Ps: I only updated for a few days at the end of last month. I didn't feel comfortable asking for monthly tickets, so now I'm asking for tickets at the beginning of the month~
