Chapter 66 Purple Robe Taoist
Chu Yuan had just stood in front of Songfeng Temple, which he had been away from for a long time, and received news that the Four Beauties of Qingcheng, Yu Renyan... and the young disciple Lin Pingzhi had returned.

They all went to the archway in front of the Taoist temple to welcome Chu Yuan.

"Meet Uncle Master!"

A group of fellow apprentices stood in front of Chu Yuan, put their fists together, bowed slightly, and saluted Chu Yuan.

"It's you guys!"

Chu Yuan smiled when he saw his fellow nephews, including Lin Pingzhi.

"Uncle Master, we suddenly learned that you were coming back today, so we came to greet you. Master was not in the temple because of something else, otherwise he would definitely come."

Hou Renying, the eldest senior brother, bowed to Chu Yuan.

"Brother, what are you busy with?"

Chu Yuan was curious.

Senior brother Yu Canghai and his group left Fuzhou Prefecture earlier than him. According to the schedule, they had just returned to Qingcheng Sect not long ago.

"It was the Master who came to invite me, the Master, it seems, because of the matter of merging the sects. Since my uncle left the mountain, the Master has been busy making this happen..."

Hong Renxiong said.

"What happened?"

Chu Yuan asked.

He didn't expect that his senior brother was already working on this matter.

"The elders from other Taoist temples in the mountains are quite stubborn. A small number of them agree, while a large number disagree. This matter has not yet been resolved."

Hou Renying continued.

"Please take care of yourselves and don't worry about me. Help me put my bag back in the room. I'm going to Baiyun Temple to see what's going on there."

Chu Yuan thought about it and threw the bag on his shoulders to Hou Renying.

"Uncle Master, rest assured, I will take care of this matter. You can go with peace of mind."

Waiting for the Yingdao.

"Uncle Master, I'll go with you."

At this time, Yu Renyan volunteered.

"Okay, Pingzhi, you and Feiyan, follow along."

Chu Yuan said.

"Yes, uncle."

Hearing that Chu Yuan wanted to take him with him, Lin Pingzhi happily agreed.

Then the group of four headed to Chayun Peak where Baiyun Temple was located.

"Sister Feiyan, is the journey difficult?"

Along the way, Lin Pingzhi hadn't seen Qu Feiyan for a long time, so he approached Qu Feiyan and wanted to talk to her.

But Qu Feiyan had a cold look on her face, as if she was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of Mount Qingcheng, and didn't want to pay much attention to Lin Pingzhi.

Lin Pingzhi said two or three sentences before Qu Feiyan responded to him.

Even so, Lin Pingzhi still came close to Qu Feiyan and looked very attentive.

The two children walked in front, and Chu Yuan and Yu Renyan walked behind.

"Uncle Master, long time no see. I heard that you were very impressive in Fuzhou City this time. You showed your might and defeated the Five Mountains Sword Sects by yourself!"

Yu Renyan looked at Chu Yuan with admiration.

"Why didn't I see you come down the mountain this time?"

Chu Yuan asked Yu Renyan.

"My father said that my swordsmanship and martial arts skills were not good enough, so he wouldn't let me go down the mountain."

Hearing Chu Yuan say this, Yu Renyan looked bitter.

This time everyone went down the mountain except him.

Chu Yuan stopped walking upon hearing that, turned around and looked Yu Renyan up and down for a while.

"Which meridian have you reached in practicing the Nine Heavens Gang Qi?"

"The second pulse!"

"I remember when I came down the mountain, you were also at the second level, and you hadn't made any progress at all!"

"Uncle Master, your Nine Heavens Qi is indeed powerful, but it is too difficult to practice. I have been stuck in the second meridian for four years."

"I brought back a magical skill that can be quickly mastered when I went down the mountain this time. Do you want to practice it?"

"What magical skill?"

"The Manual of the Sword of Exorcism!"

"It turned out to be the "Sword Manual of Exorcism". My father said when he came back that the Lin family's "Sword Manual of Exorcism" was taken by you, uncle."

After talking for a few words, Chu Yuan continued to move forward.

Chu Yuan said: "But there is a condition for practicing this "Evil-Defeating Sword Technique". I don't know if you are willing to do it?"

Yu Renyan looked puzzled: "What conditions? That is Lin Yuantu's world-renowned "Sword Manual of Exorcism". I am willing to practice it under any conditions."

When Chu Yuan heard Yu Renyan say this, he knew that his senior brother and his four nephews had not yet had the chance to tell Yu Renyan about the disadvantages of practicing "The Sword Manual of Exorcism".

"That's what you said. There's a sentence at the beginning of the "Sword Manual of Exorcism" that says if you want to practice this skill, you must castrate yourself first. I'll copy a copy of the "Sword Manual of Exorcism" for you when I get back."

"Uncle Master, I was just joking. I don't think this "Sword Manual of Exorcism" is suitable for me."

……

Chu Yuan chatted with Yu Renyan in a casual manner.

Soon the four of them arrived at Baiyun Temple.

There is a couplet at the door:
The red doors are locked, hiding from the mortal world; the Taoist temple is so quiet that it enters dreams!
Hidden among thousands of green mountains, Baiyun Temple really looks like the retreat of a great Taoist master.

"Uncle Chu!"

At the entrance of Baiyun Temple, there were two Taoist priests, about fifteen or sixteen years old, guarding the gate, who saluted Chu Yuan.

When Chu Yuan was in Qingcheng Mountain, he came to Baiyun Temple often and was considered a disciple of Baiyun Temple, so all the Taoists in Baiyun Temple knew Chu Yuan.

"Where are the old master and the other temple masters?"

Chu Yuan asked the Taoist priest guarding the gate.

"Uncle Chu, the abbot and other abbots are discussing matters in the quiet room in the backyard!"

One of the Taoist priests guarding the gate replied.

"Okay, I get it, you guys go about your business."

Chu Yuan was about to go inside, but when he saw the two Taoist priests guarding the gate, they looked at Yu Renyan, Lin Pingzhi and Qu Feiyan beside them with an embarrassed look on their faces.

The temple masters were discussing matters, so there was no problem for Chu Yuan to go in with his identity.

But these three people are not Taoist priests from Baiyun Temple!

"They are disciples of Songfeng Temple. Don't worry, there will be no problem."

As if seeing the difficulty of the gatekeeper Taoist priests, Chu Yuan explained to them. The two gatekeeper Taoist priests heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. They knew that this incident seemed to be caused by Songfeng Temple.

Since the person following Chu Yuan is a disciple of Songfeng Temple, there will be no problem.

Seeing that the two Taoist priests guarding the gate no longer stopped them, Chu Yuan led the three of them and went straight into Baiyun Temple.

Inside Baiyun Temple, I felt as familiar as if it were my own home, and I went straight to the quiet room in the backyard.

When the Taoist priests in the temple saw this scene, no one tried to stop it.

"Brother, is this also the Qingcheng Sect?"

Qu Feiyan, a disciple of Chu Yuan, was extremely curious when he saw this scene and asked his senior brother Yu Renyan beside him.

Just now she saw Yu Renyan calling Chu Yuan "Uncle-Master". Seeing Chu Yuan's familiar look, she knew that the other party should be the disciple of the leader of Qingcheng Sect.

"But he seems to be calling some Sect Leader Yu dad. Could it be that the guy next to him is the illegitimate son of the Sect Leader of Qingcheng Sect?"

Qu Feiyan muttered to herself.

“Not now, but maybe in the future.”

Seeing that there were no other Taoists from Baiyun Temple around, Yu Renyan lowered his head and explained in a friendly manner.

This person is Uncle Chu's disciple, so he has to have a good relationship with her and must not offend her.

"The future is it?"

Qu Feiyan was still confused and didn't understand what was going on!
"The Qingcheng Sect sounds impressive in the martial arts world, but it is actually just a Taoist temple on Mount Qingcheng. My master and Uncle Chu are planning to merge all the Taoist temples of the Qingcheng Sect into the Qingcheng Sect and make them part of the Qingcheng Sect."

It was Lin Pingzhi who arrived earlier. He knew some of the situation and explained it to Qu Feiyan.

While Qu Feiyan and the others were talking, Chu Yuan had already brought them to the quiet room in the backyard. The door of the quiet room was not closed and there were sounds of conversation inside.

Chu Yuan stretched his head and looked inside.

Good guy!
In the small quiet room of no more than 30 square meters, there was actually a group of old Taoist priests sitting cross-legged with snow-white hair and beards, each of them older than him in his two lifetimes combined.

Almost all of these old Taoists wore green robes, with a few wearing red robes and two wearing purple robes.

He was still inside and saw his senior brother Yu Canghai.

Senior Brother Yu Canghai is extremely conspicuous.

Because he was standing.

Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect who has some fame in the martial arts world, has no status in front of this group of Taoists and is almost like a junior.

The moment Chu Yuan poked his head out, everything became calm, and everyone looked towards the door with inquiring eyes.

Swish!
Chu Yuan broke out in a cold sweat.

Being watched by so many old Taoists was even more stressful than when Chu Yuan was alone in Fuzhou City facing the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

Chu Yuan retracted his head and left a message to the three people outside the door: "You three wait outside the door."

After saying this, he ignored the reactions of the three people and directly crossed the thumbs of his left and right hands at the door, with the four fingers of his left hand inside and the four fingers of his right hand outside, and kowtowed.

He bowed his head and said, "Junior Chu Yuan greets all the seniors."

Facing these old Taoist priests and seniors from Qingcheng Mountain, he felt that it was his duty to show his respect.

"Chu Yuan..."

"That's the disciple of Taoist Ziyun!"

"Didn't Yu Xiaodao say that Chu Yuan was his junior fellow apprentice?"

"Haven't you heard that Chu Yuan wanted to practice martial arts and finally joined Songfeng Temple?"

"If it were up to me, Chu Yuan would have nothing better to do. It would have been much better for him to continue being the disciple of Taoist Ziyun. Why would he bother to join the Songfeng Temple..."

"He also wants all of our Taoist temples to be merged into that Qingcheng Sect..."

"What Qingcheng Sect? It's just the arrogant self-proclaimed name of Songfeng Temple. It's just a Taoist temple, how can it be called Qingcheng Sect!"

"I think what Yu Xiaodao said makes some sense. Why do we practice Taoism? Why did our ancestors practice Taoism?"

"Of course it's to prolong life!"

"Yes, if practicing martial arts can really prolong life, why should we reject it?"

"Master Chongyang, I think you have been bewitched by them!"

Then, a fierce quarrel was heard in the quiet room.

"Alright, stop arguing. There's no point in arguing. Since we're all here today and Chu Yuan is here too, let's call him in and let him tell us what he thinks in front of us."

Just then, someone in the quiet room spoke up, interrupting the quarreling old Taoist priests.

Chu Yuan looked up and saw that the person who spoke was one of the two purple-robed Taoist priests.

As the purple-robed Taoist priest opened his mouth, the quiet room immediately fell silent.

It can be seen that the purple-robed Taoist priest has a very high status among this group of Taoist priests.

"That's right. Let's see if he can convince us. If he can, it proves that what he said makes sense, and we just agree. After all, we are using the name of Qingcheng, so no one will suffer. If he can't convince us, then it doesn't make sense, and we can just leave."

Another old Taoist priest in a purple robe said.

"Chu Yuan, come in."

After saying this, the old Taoist priest in purple robe turned his gaze towards Chu Yuan who was standing outside the meditation room.

All of a sudden, all the old Taoists in the quiet room turned their eyes to Chu Yuan who was standing at the door.

Chu Yuan walked in under pressure.

"Old Taoist, I'm very curious, Chu Yuan, do you think you are a disciple of Songfeng Temple or Baiyun Temple?"

After Chu Yuan walked in, the purple-robed Taoist priest who was taller and had snow-white hair and beard spoke first.

"Senior, I am a disciple of both Songfeng Temple and Baiyun Temple."

Chu Yuan didn't fall for the old Taoist's trick.

At this time, people from both sects are here!

Saying either side will offend people.

And all of them have to be bad!

Why make a choice?

"At such a young age, he is really a smart guy. He doesn't want to offend anyone. No wonder he came up with the idea of ​​making all the Taoist temples in Qingcheng Mountain merge with the Qingcheng Sect."

Hearing Chu Yuan's words, the old Taoist priest in purple robe clapped his hands and laughed.

"Chu Yuan, then tell me why we should agree to let all the Taoist temples on Qingcheng Mountain merge with the Qingcheng Sect!"

The other one was a little shorter, with gray hair, but his eyes were very lively and bright, not like those of an old man at all. He was a Taoist priest in purple robe.

After the purple-robed Taoist priest finished speaking, an old Taoist priest in his sixties stood up.

He wore a Chunyang scarf, his hair and beard were gray, he wore a moon-white Taoist robe, and cloth shoes.

It was Chu Yuan’s other master, Taoist Ziyun.

Taoist Ziyun looked at Chu Yuan and said, "Chu Yuan, just say it. Everyone present here today is your senior. They will not be partial."
