He seemed to hear a brief sound of grinding teeth, so short that it seemed like an illusion.
"Fellow Daoist Ling, it turns out that life is not easy for you. However, I am just a casual cultivator, and I am afraid I cannot provide you with any protection."
"Don't worry, that evil young man's father is only an outer sect elder with limited power. As long as he doesn't go back, he can't do anything to me."
"Yes, is that so? But we just met, don't you think it's too sudden?"
Hearing this, Lin Ruowei secretly complained in her heart, since you think it is too sudden, why did you grab my hand.
You stinky man, do you think you can grab my hand? If you grab it again, I will chop off your hand.
But she still held back, controlling her emotions well, without any fluctuation in her expression.
He must have taken the bait.
Okay, that's a good start.
First develop some feelings with him, then trick him into a deserted place and kill him.
Then the two of them walked up the stairs hand in hand.
On the way up, they also learned that during the Yunjun Festival, vendors would set up stalls along the mountain path on this small hill, selling various small gifts and food.
"This ancestral hall on the mountain was originally the Taoist temple of Yun Jun. He also accepted several disciples here and taught them here."
"In that battle, all of his disciples died before him. It can be said that his family is full of loyal heroes." This was what a peddler on the mountain road told them.
After learning about it, we found out that the Yunjun Festival was originally just to commemorate a historical figure.
However, this commemorative event changed its meaning as it was passed around.
This is how it evolved.
In the beginning, monks often brought their young disciples to the memorial temple to pay homage to Yun Jun. The older monks would tell the younger generation stories about the martyrs.
Later, a martial arts arena was opened on the mountain for young people to compete with each other.
Over two thousand years ago, a young monk and his wife took to the stage to compete. Their fight was initially friendly, but then the fray erupted into a frenzy. The woman's moves were deadly, while the man merely dodged without retaliating.
The woman stabbed the man several times from behind, but he didn't even fight back.
The spectators at the time were unhappy and accused someone of shady dealings. Even a fool could see that there was something wrong with this competition.
Just when everyone was condemning the woman, a turning point occurred.
The man and woman hugged each other in front of everyone and started kissing regardless of everyone's gaze.
It turned out that they were a young Taoist couple, and because of a misunderstanding, the woman thought that the man had changed his mind and was in love with another woman.
After he was hit by the woman's sword several times, she panicked and asked him why he didn't fight back.
He then revealed the truth, telling her that the woman he had been close to before was actually just his biological sister. He had never changed his mind from the beginning to the end.
So the two reconciled and finally the lovers got married.
This is so ridiculous. Zhao Kangping was speechless when he heard this.
Not long after that, the Yunjun Festival cancelled the martial arts competition segment and instead became an event to help lovers get together.
There is a section of the mountain path where only iron chains form a guardrail, and there is a cliff just beyond. Many couples come here from far and wide just to hang their love locks on those iron chains, which symbolizes eternal love.
When they passed by the mountain road, they indeed found that the iron chains on one side were covered with dense locks.
Most of the locks were inscribed with the names of the men and women who had locked them, along with the time they had been locked. Many of them belonged to people who lived one or two thousand years ago, and it was unknown whether they were still alive.
However, a small number of locks were vandalized, with names deliberately erased or marks of swords and knives on them. Zhao Kangping speculated that it was probably a couple who broke up and someone came to remove the lock, possibly damaging someone else's lock in the process.
There is also a fortune-telling place on the mountain, and I heard that it is very accurate in predicting marriage.
Lin Ruowei suggested: "Let's go get a fortune as well."
Looking at her beautiful profile, he nodded.
I want to see what you are up to.
So they went to the mountain to draw lots. Lin Ruowei took the lot, turned her head and looked at him and said, "Friend Zhao, do you want to draw lots?"
Zhao Kangping really wanted to say that he didn’t believe it, because this thing was inherently illusory.
But considering that this is a world where one can cultivate immortality, the concept of cause and effect does exist.
"If you believe it, it will work. If you don't believe it, don't take it seriously." He gave an ambiguous answer.
It wasn't long before they found the person who handled the visa application. He was a white-haired young man. Seeing that they were a handsome man and a beautiful woman, he was very polite.
After taking the fortune stick, the white-haired young man looked at it. He was smiling at first, but after reading the fortune stick, the smile disappeared.
"What? Are we not destined to be together?" Zhao Kangping said.
But the white-haired young man shook his head and said, "Bad fate, bad fate, I have never seen such bad fate."
Hearing this, Zhao Kangping felt secretly disdainful.
Evil fate is also fate.
But this woman wants to kill me, what a fate.
The corners of Lin Ruowei's mouth twitched, and she thought to herself that these things really cannot be believed, they are nothing but charlatans.
Zhao Kangping didn't show what he was thinking. Instead, he smiled and said, "Oh, what kind of bad fate is this?"
"You two should be from opposing forces!" the young man muttered mysteriously.
Hearing this, Lin Ruowei's heart skipped a beat.
Zhao Kangping also became serious.
The young man continued, "Let me tell you this."
"The forces that prevent you from being together will be very strong. You won't even be able to be together openly for a long time."
"But don't lose heart. After going through all the hardships, you will eventually get married."
……
Zhao Kangping held the sign and wanted to laugh, but he held it back.
"Does Fellow Daoist Zhao believe this?" Lin Ruowei said.
Of course he didn't believe it.
Sooner or later, conflict would erupt between the Saint Lord and the Supreme Elder. The two sides were so irreconcilable that he could hardly imagine any chance of reconciliation. The conflict between the aristocratic families and the impoverished monks was a long-standing one, and it wasn't something that could be resolved overnight.
Even if Senior Sister no longer serves as the Holy Lord and passes the position on, the next Holy Lord Zi Yang will still have to face the game between the two parties.
Of course, the two sides weren't fighting to the death; rather, they were vying for control of the Holy Land. After all, completely annihilating the other side wouldn't be in the Holy Land's overall interests. While the primary battle was for the right to speak, armed conflict did exist to a certain extent.
Zhao Kangping shook his head: "That's nonsense. You and I are not from opposing forces at all."
Chapter 340: I Should Have Let Her Ababa Ababa
I heard that the memorial temple on the top of the mountain contains the inheritance left by Mr. Yun.
The city lord surnamed Yun had reached the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm in his cultivation, and was considered a powerful person.
However, Zhao Kangping himself had reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, so he was not really interested in the inheritance from this senior.
When they reached the top of the mountain, they saw the memorial temple at a glance.
The place is not big, and you can see the end as soon as you walk in.
I thought there would be a golden statue, but there was only a portrait.
The furnishings inside were very simple, with just an incense table and a few cushions.
However, there is a constant stream of people coming to worship, which can be considered as a very popular temple.
Zhao Kangping and Lin Ruowei visited the memorial together, and it didn't look like anything special.
"Is there really any heritage in this place?" Zhao Kangping expressed his doubts.
At this time, a middle-aged male cultivator in the ancestral hall said, "You two are from outside the area, right?"
Zhao Kangping: "Yes."
The middle-aged male cultivator said, "This inheritance is just a gimmick. It's just a trick to attract people."
"Besides, this ancestral hall is over three thousand years old and has been repaired and rebuilt several times. If there was any inheritance, it would have been taken away by someone else long ago."
In fact, he was not very interested in the inheritance, so it was not a case of coming with high hopes and leaving with disappointment.
When they were going down the mountain, the two of them had not gone far from the ancestral hall when the woman did not immediately follow them.
She said, "Brother Zhao, are you going to leave like this?"
Her cheeks flushed, and she looked a little shy like a little girl.
Zhao Kangping probably guessed what she meant, but pretended not to understand.
"There's only one way up and down here. How else can we go if not from here?" At this moment, he was 200% a straight man and didn't understand her hint at all.
Hearing this, Lin Ruowei choked. She wanted him to ride on the same flying sword with her.
This should be very attractive to many male cultivators.
Whether he is in front and she hugs him from behind, or she is in front of him and is held in his arms, some physical contact is inevitable. Isn't this a good opportunity to create ambiguity?
Does a girl need to talk about such things?
As a result, even without Lin Ruowei's suggestion, he really walked down the mountain path.
It's really confusing.
At this time, Lin Ruowei began to doubt whether her previous judgment of this man was wrong.
Isn't he lustful?
Or does he look down on me?
This was outrageous. She thought her beauty was among the best in the Ziyang Holy Land, but this man actually looked down on her so much, which made her a little angry.
Of course, she wanted them to ride on the flying sword together not to let him take advantage, but to find an opportunity for him to fly into the sky.
When she was in heaven and there were no witnesses, she killed him.
Zhao Kangping had already walked a long distance. He turned around, looked at her from afar, and said, "Fairy Ling, why hasn't she come down yet?"
"Ahem, Brother Zhao, you are a cultivator, why don't you control your flying sword and take me down with you." She couldn't hold it in any longer and could only take the initiative to suggest.
Walking up the mountain can be considered a ritual, as this trip is after all to participate in the activities of commemorating the martyrs.
You walk all the way up the mountain and it's okay if you don't patronize any of the roadside vendors.
Why did you keep walking down the mountain so honestly?
Zhao Kangping scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "To be honest, I am just a casual cultivator. I am too poor to buy a flying sword."
This is a good reason, Lin Ruowei was speechless.
At the same time, these words also revealed his past, telling her that he was not a strong person and was not worthy of her reliance.
Okay, maybe this man is not lustful after all.
But he went too far and had no manners at all.
Was she completely unattractive? Didn't he want to do something for her? Apart from holding her hand at the beginning, there was no further action.
He didn't even show any intention of carrying himself down the mountain.
"Wait for me." She was a little impatient, but she held it back and didn't show the surging emotions in her heart on her face.
Lin Ruowei strode down and followed him without giving up.
"Fairy Ling, I don't think we are suitable. After all, I have a Taoist partner. Let's go our separate ways." Zhao Kangping said tentatively.
Zhao Kangping didn't like Lin Ruowei, he could even be said to hate her.
He felt uncomfortable with such a sticky piece of candy sticking to him.
First, persuade her to leave with kind words. If she continues to follow him, there will be no other way but to use some tough measures.
Although his cultivation level cannot match his, he has the Heavenly Book.
You can brainwash her.
Because what happens in the world of the Heavenly Book can cause a person's cognition to become confused, and after repeating it several times, the confusion can even last for a long time.
