Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 399 Ciyun Nunnery

"Oh, I can't eat anymore, I can't eat anymore... Oh, pig's feet, oh, it's okay, I can have one more piece, mmm!"

"Ouch! Who bit me! Eek! Yuhan!"

"Ah, ah... pig's feet, my pig's feet... don't leave me..."

Pei Yuhan's face was being pinched, and she opened her eyes in pain, waking up from her beautiful dream with tears in her eyes.

When she opened her eyes, there was no longer any delicacies to be found, only a nunnery, a Buddha statue, a green lamp, and a young nun in her late teens standing before her in a monk's robe.

Although she had shaved her head and become a nun, she was still quite pretty and charming, with starry eyes, fine beads of sweat, a swaying bosom, and a heart as pure as a peony. Her waist was like a willow branch, her figure as graceful as a nightingale in spring, and her cherry-like mouth was adorned with sweet saliva.

However beautiful she may be, if anyone were suddenly jolted awake from their slumber by her bite, they would immediately scrub Pei Yuhan's face like a shrew.
"You brat! You weren't concentrating on your Qi cultivation, and you were dozing off during your morning practice! You were so sleepy that you started nibbling on my feet and calling me a pig! I'm so angry!"

"Ahh, senior sister, senior sister, spare me..."

The young nun rubbed her for a while before calming down, then scolded her sternly.
“Junior Sister Yuhan, although our Ciyun Nunnery cannot compare with the three major sects, we uphold the orthodox method of cultivating both Buddhism and Taoism, and can attain the Great Dao of enlightenment.”

Master said you have an affinity with Buddhism, and the future glory of the sect will surely fall on your shoulders. Don't neglect your studies and cause her worry.

"Waaah... Senior Sister Peach, I know I was wrong... but I'm hungry..."

Seeing her delicate appearance, the young nun couldn't bring herself to scold her. She took a gourd from the wall, poured out a pill, and handed it to her.

"It's a peach branch, not a peach... Oh well, whatever. Here, a fasting pill."

Yu Han turned her head away.
"Don't eat buttock pills, eat pig's trotters."

Peach came over and rubbed her face.

"It's a fasting pill, not a butt pill! Besides, Buddhist temples are pure places, so don't tell me you're eating pig's trotters!"

"Wow~ Sister Xi~~ You forgot that last night when Zucchini hosted a banquet, the two people she invited brought a huge wild boar. There must be some left over, right?"

"Oh, that's right..."

Peach narrowed her eyes.

"But Yuhan, you come from a prestigious family and are a well-bred young lady. Why are you still thinking about those pig's trotters? Besides, didn't you say you were full from the medicinal porridge for dinner?"

Yu Han's eyes welled up with tears.

"That porridge was bitter and sour, without a single drop of oil in it; how could anyone swallow it..."

"Pfft."

Seeing how pitiful the little girl looked, Senior Sister Peach's anger subsided for a moment.

"You really don't appreciate kindness. The porridge at my Ciyun Nunnery is made with aged mountain wine and top-quality mountain delicacies. It's a first-class product that nourishes the body, promotes longevity, and is sought after by countless nobles and officials. Yet you refuse to eat it and insist on eating swill instead."

"Sister Peach~~"

Pei Yuhan, discerning his appearance and demeanor, snuggled into his arms and acted coquettishly.

Peach blushed as she was hugged and cuddled, but she couldn't do anything about it.
"Alright, alright, you're just spoiled at home. You get tired of everything after just one bite."

So the two of them left the monks' quarters together. Pushing open the door, they saw verdant forests, shrouded in mist, surrounded by mountains and embraced by layers of clouds. Nestled among these mountains was a solitary temple, with flocks of egrets flying in the air, circling the smoke and mist. It was just as the saying goes, "A wisp of green mountain embraces the incense smoke, several layers of cloud shadows protect the Zen gate." Suddenly, a white egret was startled and flew through the forest, carrying the sound of a bell to the clear pool. It was truly a dwelling place like heaven on earth, a breathtakingly beautiful scene like a paradise on earth.

However, Pei Yuhan was probably feeling a pang of hunger and had no interest in appreciating the beautiful scenery. She was only gazing at the pagoda on the mountaintop, where the light flickered, shimmering with azure, gold, and white tricolors. Holding Taozi's hand, she asked curiously...
"Why is Master still awake so late? Is he meditating with a guest?"

"Oh my god, you're going to die! You have no sense of propriety, spouting nonsense like that!"

Peach quickly covered her mouth, and seeing that no one was flying down from the mountain to slap her, she breathed a sigh of relief and whispered in her ear,
"Master is refining a secret treasure. The two seniors were invited to protect him. They have no ill intentions, so don't gossip."

Pei Yuhan just chuckled.
"Sister Peach, you're being naive. Those two are also long-established rogue cultivators. Instead of staying in their own caves for quiet cultivation, they're rushing to refine magic treasures for you, give you pills, and bring you mountain goods. Can you say they didn't have any ulterior motives?"
I think their intentions are pretty obvious; they're just after what's going on under the monks' robes.

Peach was speechless and blushed.

Pei Yuhan shook his head.
"But if you ask me, there's nothing wrong with being in a relationship. Our master is so handsome. Although he's a monk, he can always leave the monastic life."

Moreover, judging from our cultivation methods, they don't emphasize maintaining a golden body like those of the Xuanmen sect.

Having attained immortality, how boring it would be to be all alone! Wouldn't it be better to find a couple of companions to keep me company? At least someone can scratch my itch while I'm scrubbing myself in the bath.

"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting at such a young age!"

Peach grinned angrily at her.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, Sister Xi..."

After playfully fighting for a while, the two went to the kitchen and found that there was indeed a lot of monster meat left over.

Pei Yuhan was indeed a picky eater. She complained that she had been eating cabbage, tofu, and vegetable soup for a long time and was starving because she had no oil in her stomach. She clamored for a midnight snack, but when she saw the leftovers from yesterday, she complained that the meat was not cooked properly, was not prepared carefully, was fishy, ​​salty, old, and smelly and was too tough to chew. She refused to eat more than a bite and just licked it like a kitten.

Peach had no choice but to cut a few slices of meat and cook her a bowl of noodles to prevent the girl from waking up hungry in the middle of the night and gnawing on her legs.

Pei Yuhan moved a small stool to the side and sat down to wait for the meal to be served, asking curiously as she did so.
"But who are those two people? Our master seems to be a righteous lay Buddhist, so why are the guests he invited carrying knives and swords, and even a dead man's bone? They don't seem like a benevolent host who eats vegetarian food and chants Buddhist scriptures."

Peach, unconcerned, fanned the fire.
"These days, those who do well are all ruthless killers."

The martial arts practitioner from Dongshan, known as Meng Zhan the Great Saber, was originally a bandit who robbed and plundered. He was on the list of the Six Doors (a powerful organization in Taiwan). Later, when the rebels broke out in the north, he followed the bandit officers and soldiers as they fought. He gained experience on the battlefield, picking up corpses and stealing skills. He licked blood off his blade and honed his skills. I heard that he even joined the Heavenly King Army and became a Tenglong General. He also has some connections with the Divine Cult. He has many connections, so it's not advisable to offend him rashly.

As for the true man from the south, who called himself Qingguangzhai, he said he was originally a poor scholar who repeatedly failed the imperial examinations in his youth. In middle age, he had a stroke of good fortune, finding the remains of an immortal in the mountains and obtaining a golden box and jade book. He then learned the skills of the mountain people, and after hundreds of years of hard work, he reached the stage of Nascent Soul separation. He built a thatched hut at the foot of the mountain to cultivate. However, being of unorthodox origin, his teachings were not authentic, and it is said he is currently studying arithmetic to prepare for the Xuanmen (Taoist) examination.

Pei Yuhan's eyes flashed.
"How could a rebel and a demonic sect know Master? Doesn't Ciyun Nunnery hold the celestial status of Sili?"

Peach didn't notice her expression and added more scallions to the noodles.

"Of course, our master, Ciyun Jushi, has a genuine 800-year cultivation and supernatural powers that are unparalleled in both Buddhism and Taoism. Back then, he could even eat a bite of the offerings from the celestial palace."

Ciyun Nunnery created its own sect, and the name of the Iron Sword Divine Nun was known far and wide. When the master founded the sect, those two were still children.

Later, when the two of them gained some skill, they wanted to compete and try to seize our temple's sacred space. After several rounds of fighting, they were no match for us and finally submitted willingly, admitting defeat.

However, understanding the difficulties faced by independent practitioners, the master specially prepared guest rooms for them, so they could come to the temple for quiet meditation whenever they wished.

Pei Yuhan was increasingly puzzled.
"If you can beat them, why be so polite with them? Serving them tea and keeping them company, why not just tie them up in the yard and guard the gate?"

"You think it's a dog?!"

Peach rolled her eyes at the girl.
"Cultivation in this lifetime is not easy, so how can we fight and kill each other when we meet? Besides, in this world, those who can obtain the fate of immortals and the transmission of the Dao, and who have the talent to establish their foundation and form their core, are already one in ten thousand. True people who have cultivated to the point of leaving their body and traveling in the void are even fewer."

We're all cultivating in the Central Plains, so we're practically neighbors. We have no personal grudges against each other, and our cultivation methods don't conflict. We don't compete for opportunities, so it's natural we can become friends and rely on each other for support. Perhaps we can even lend a hand if we encounter any difficulties in the future.”

"Oh... I see~ Senior sister, you know so much~"

After finding out the background of these three, Pei Yuhan realized they were just a bunch of eccentric cultivators who huddled together for warmth and weren't even worthy of mentioning the three major sects. He immediately lost interest and only offered perfunctory flattery.

"It's cooked, be careful it's hot..."

"Mmm...oh...oh...it's so hot!!!"

"Look at you, so hasty! You've burned yourself. It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore..."

Seeing that Pei Yuhan was burning up, Taozi was also anxious. She gently wiped the remaining soup from the corner of Pei Yuhan's mouth with a handkerchief and blew some ice on her to relieve the pain.

Pei Yuhan was stunned for a moment. Looking at Taozi's beautiful face so close to her, and her sincere concern, he blinked and said, "Sister Taozi, you are such a good person, so sensible and considerate. Why don't you just pass on your mantle to Master?"

Peach shook her head and smiled bitterly.

“I am a person with a bad fate. I was born into a poor family and have no good destiny. When my master took me out of the pleasure boat, he said that I was born with a weak fate and shallow blessings, and that I could not receive such a heavy inheritance. I need to rely on a big tree to survive.”

Therefore, I only became a nun in the nunnery, but I could not receive her true teachings.”

Pei Yuhan patted his chest and said

"Oh, I see... Great, you're attached to me, I'm so lucky."

Peach gently flicked the girl's nose.
"You're such a chatterbox, hurry up and eat. Once you're full, go back to your cultivation."

Pei Yuhan slurped down her thin noodles, noticing that the peach had been served with two extra spoonfuls of sugar. She felt a warmth spread through her stomach and smiled broadly.

"Sister Peach, why don't you marry my father?"

"Ah, ah?"

This girl is so unruly, Peach is speechless.

Pei Yuhan, however, seemed serious, speaking as she ate.

“Master said you have a bad fate, but I have heard that the Louguan Dao has a method to cut off the heavens and change fate, which is a kind of witchcraft to suppress evil. In other words, you can directly form a couple. If you marry my father, you can borrow the fortune of my Pei family to protect yourself.”

"From now on, my family will take care of you, providing for you year after year without fail. Reaching the Golden Core stage will be a piece of cake. Besides, my father is quite handsome and gentle, so you won't be mistreated."

Peach was both annoyed and amused, and she pinched and rubbed Yuhan's round face for a while.
"You little devil! What are you thinking about all day? Eat! Go to sleep after you've eaten!"

Since her senior sister refused to be her concubine, Pei Yuhan had no choice but to eat her noodles in silence.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Taozi cleared the dishes. Pei Yuhan stared at the colorful light emanating from the pagoda on the mountaintop for a while, then couldn't help but ask,
"But I wonder what kind of magical artifact they're forging? The three colors are quite beautiful."

Peach glanced at her in surprise.
"Junior Sister Yuhan is indeed destined for the Dao, she can even see this... I heard it from my master, it turns out that the immortal Daoist collection obtained by Qingguangzhai contains many weapon refining diagrams."

Although the magic weapon was good, it was useless if it could not be made. Therefore, Qingguangzhai thought that he could not gather so many materials by himself, but many hands make light work, so he simply took out the blueprints to share.

The one that Master and the others are currently refining is called Samadhi Divine Net.

It is said that it was made by selecting Ice Soul Silkworm Silk, Golden Spider Silk, and Yi Wood Immortal Vine, gathering the breath of heaven and earth, and then refining it for sixty years with the true Qi of the three mouths of Divine Qi, Returning Dust, and Profound Darkness.

Once summoned, it is impervious to water and fire, and immune to all evil. It can be used for self-defense, to protect against weapons, to capture people and thieves, and to hunt beasts and demons. It can be used for both offense and defense, and to advance and retreat at will.

"You should have finished your training in the last couple of days, but I sensed you were in trouble, so I had to leave to save you."

"Uh, she went to Qianzhou specifically to pick me up? Is it really that coincidental?"

Pei Yuhan was momentarily puzzled, and couldn't help but think to herself,

"But this thing sounds pretty powerful... And for a mere cultivator's magic weapon, it actually needs an Ice Silkworm Golden Spider... Wait, isn't that something only the palace should have..."

"What are you muttering about again?"

"Oh, I mean, how do we make a tent? It's not easy to divide the blankets. Are we just going to sleep together under one big quilt, with the three of us wrapped up together?"

"Oh dear! What are you thinking about at such a young age! Let's go, let's go, let's eat and go home."

"Oh."

Taozi pushed open the door, and Pei Yuhan followed her out of the kitchen. He glanced at the pagoda in the distance, then looked back at the kitchen behind him, and turned to ask Taozi.

"And what is that treasure in the kitchen?"

Peach was taken aback, completely bewildered.

"What? The kitchen? Honey? What are you talking about?"

"It's that one flashing on the roof beam, what, Sister Peach, can't you see it?"

So Pei Yuhan turned around and pointed it out to her.

Then the two saw a dark shadow, like a flying eagle, gliding across the night sky and swooping down from the eaves of the monks' quarters, descending upon them and whipping up a strong gust of wind.

Pei Yuhan instinctively crouched down, covering her head.

Peach instinctively shielded her junior sister behind her.

In that instant, it was as if my eyes were blinded by the sandstorm rushing towards me.

Then, in the next instant, it felt as if warm rainwater had washed over my entire body.

When Pei Yuhan opened her eyes.

The peach skin was then peeled off.

"Thief——!!!"

From the highest point in the sky, approaching suddenly, came a gust of wind, thunder, and the heart-wrenching roar of Abbess Ciyun.

"Bang bang bang!"

"puff!"

A dark shadow flashed by, followed by three earth-shattering sonic booms. After the palm strikes collided, the sound of Abbess Ciyun being seriously injured and spitting blood as she was sent flying backwards was heard, along with a strange howl from a man in a choked voice.

"Hehehe! What Iron Sword Goddess! She's not even a fraction as powerful as my Divine Cult! She'd better become my blood slave, hehehe!"

"Bullshit!! The Divine Cult doesn't have a bastard like you! Take my Overlord Blade!!"

Then another golden light sliced ​​through the sky, overwhelming and cleaving through the air!
“Swish, swish, swish—!”

Then, sword light flashed everywhere, and in the blink of an eye, countless moves and exchanges of blows were exchanged.

"Kun Gen Life and Death Sword! Ha! So there are still remnants of the Death Gate!! Bah!"
What a disgrace to Ciyun Nunnery! It's a den of iniquity, hiding not just one lover, but two!

Disgusting! I'm off!

"Where to go!"

"die--!"

"Wow——!"

"boom!"

It came quickly and went quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was like a raging storm, a torrential downpour, sweeping across the foothills and destroying most of the temples and monks' quarters, leaving not a single tile behind.

Pei Yuhan stood there dumbfounded, completely oblivious to the details of the battle between the immortals and immortals.

He quietly stayed with his senior sister, who had cooked her a bowl of noodles in the middle of the night, watching her lie in his arms, wailing for three-quarters of an hour, until the blood soaked through her clothes, like staining a piece of winter plum blossom, until she slowly fell silent.

died.
