Chapter 53
53 The master of Meixi temple
Li Xinyi didn’t have time to sleep and rushed back to the Hangzhou Prefecture.
From her point of view, using five hundred gold taels to exchange for a quarter of the secret realm’s key was simply a great bargain.
It wasn’t just her, every cultivator in the sect would probably think so.
In the eyes of most cultivators, gold and silver were useless to a certain extent, and only things that were beneficial to cultivation could be called wealth.
A secret realm was definitely a windfall.
Obtaining this quarter of the secret realm’s key could even be said to be a greater contribution than killing a ghost commander.
After all, for a sect at the level of the 12 immortal sects, people would only think that it was natural to destroy powerful ghosts, and it would be difficult to increase their reputation.
However, a secret realm could allow the sect to obtain huge benefits.
Compared to the weak Li Chu, a behemoth like the Imperial Palace had a great advantage in finding the other three keys.
As expected, when she returned to Chaotian que’s residence in the Hangzhou Prefecture and reported the situation, she immediately received a reward from her superior.
She had done a good job in Yuhang Town during this period of time. When Yuhang Town, where vengeful spirit cases were frequent, settled down, the credit would be given to her.
Although it was done by someone, Miss Li had also paid for it.
The 500 gold taels were easily approved, but there was still a problem.
The matter of the secret realm was of utmost importance and it was impossible to let Li Xin Yi handle it alone. They had to send a real master to ensure that there was no danger.
After all, in the process of searching for the secret realm, it was hard to guarantee that no one would covet it. When it came to benefits, no one would back down just because of the name of Chaotian que. On the contrary, the greater the sect, the more they should have received a bloody lesson.
However, Chaotian que was different from the other celestial sects. Its disciples were scattered across the nine states and 72 prefectures, which was a terrifying number.
Even among the giants of the 12 immortal sects, there weren’t many forces that could be divided so evenly.
At the same time, because there were dozens of sects in the Hangzhou Prefecture, it was easy to find help when exorcising evil.
Therefore, there were not many masters of Chaotian que who were assigned to Hang Zhou Prefecture.
Most of the time, they were more used to cooperating with outsiders to exorcise evil.
Li Xinyi would rather ask Li Chu for help than ask for help from the sect. A large part of the reason was that he did not have enough manpower.
Of course, the most important thing was that Li Chu was too useful.
Good quality and cheap price.
However, it was possible to expel the evil through cooperation, but it was obviously impossible to find a secret realm. This kind of matter that involved fundamental interests had to be handled by his own people.
But at this time, the experts in the Hangzhou Prefecture’s Garrison had all been sent out. After all, there were dozens of small counties like Yuhang County in the Hangzhou Prefecture, and there were quite a number of strange cases added up.
Not every place had a Li Chu.
Just as his superior was thinking about where to deploy his men, Li Xin Yi said, ” “Maybe I can ask my master to come out of the mountain.”
“If the master of Meixi temple can leave the mountain, that would be the best.” His superior was overjoyed.
Li Xinyi’s master was known as the master of Meixi temple and was also known as nun Meixi in the martial world. She was a famous figure in the Imperial court.
In recent years, her cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and she had always been in seclusion at the plum stream temple outside of Hangzhou, not caring about other matters.
However, Li Xin Yi was her disciple and often visited her master, so he knew her condition better.
It was true that his teacher had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation, but it was far from a critical juncture. The so-called closed-door training was just to relax for a while.
In any case, those who were in seclusion in the Imperial court could take a long paid leave.
This was the benefit of having the Imperial court as his backing.
After everything was settled, she immediately left the city and went to Meixi temple.
Seven miles out of the city, there was a Hill full of plum trees, and a clear stream surrounded the hill. When the plum blossoms bloomed, they would cover the entire mountain stream, hence the name.
Meixi temple was at the back of this slope.
Abbess Mei Xi was not a nun, but a female Daoist nun. Chaotian que was not a branch of the Dao sect, but it did not forbid its disciples from worshiping Buddhism and believing in Dao. Nun Mei Xi had become a monk of her own and had nothing to do with cultivation.
Li Xin Yi arrived at the plum Creek temple and knocked on the door. After a while, a gentle voice sounded,”Xin Yi, come in by yourself.”
Li Xin Yi respectfully pushed the door open and entered.
After passing through the front yard, he came to the backyard. Abbess Mei Xi was meditating in a clean room, burning incense. It seemed that she had not moved for a long time. She had just sent a message.
“Greetings, master.”
“Ha, you haven’t come to my place for a long time. Why? Did you have fun with that little Daoist from Yuhang Town?” Mei Xi opened her eyes and teased.
A cultivator’s appearance did not age easily. Although she was called the mistress, she still looked beautiful and full of energy. Compared to a young girl like Li Xinyi, her eyes were more tranquil with the precipitation of time.
Although she was wearing a loose white robe, it still couldn’t cover her voluptuous figure and full of charm.
Li Xinyi stood in front of her, like a mother and daughter, like a sister.
“Aiya, master, you’re teasing me again.” Li Xin Yi snorted and moved a futon to sit opposite of Mei Xi, ” “I’ve come this time because I have something to discuss with you,”
“Oh? What’s the urgent matter?” Mei Xi asked with a smile.
“I’d like to invite you to come out of the mountain,” Li Xinyi said.
“What?”
Then, Li Xin Yi told him everything he had seen and heard in the past few days. In any case, it was his master who was standing in front of him, so there was nothing to hide.
Of course, she still had to hide the part about her being infatuated with li chufa.
After hearing this, Mei Xi thought for a moment and said, ” the mystical realm Kasaya is indeed an urgent matter. I have never heard of any mighty people appearing near Yuhang Town. I don’t know where the key to the mystical realm was found in the Kasaya. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I’ll go with you to take a look.
“Thank you, master!” Li Xinyi was overjoyed.
“I’m also going to see the little Daoist priest that you’ve been thinking about.”
“What are you saying, master?” “I didn’t even mention him,” Li Xinyi blushed.
that’s right. You’re always thinking about him. Why would you deliberately avoid him? ”
Abbess Mei Xi stood up and walked outside, her face filled with the smile of someone who had experienced it before.
Li Xinyi didn’t speak again.
Mei Xi came to the courtyard. With a wave of her sleeve, a branch of a plum tree appeared out of thin air in front of her. Although the branch had no roots or soil, there were seven blooming plum blossoms hanging on it. It was extremely magical.
The plum blossom branch hung in the air and expanded in the wind. It grew a hundred times longer and turned into a huge branch as thick as a house beam. The seven plum blossoms on it had also grown to the size of a millstone.
“Let’s go,” he said.
let’s go! Mei Xi called out. She lifted her feet and sat on a Plum Flower.
Li Xinyi also got on another Plum Flower.
The plum flowers that had grown up were soft and firm. Sitting on them gave off a fragrance, making them very comfortable.
Li Xin Yi buried his face in the tree and took a deep breath, ” it’s been many years since I sat on master’s Seven Wonders flower branch. I still remember that I loved to play on this plum blossom branch when I was young.
hurry up and work hard on your cultivation. When you reach the Shenhe realm, I’ll give you one.
Mei Xi smiled gently and waved her sleeve again. The plum Branch slowly rose into the air and disappeared.
In just a few moments, the plum Branch had already arrived above the ten Mile slope.
Seeing that there were many people waiting in deyun temple below, Mei Xi descended from a distance. The master and disciple walked over on foot to avoid disturbing the people.
Li Xinyi was very familiar with the place and shouted from a distance, ” “I’m here to handle some matters with the Imperial court!”
Li Chu came out to greet him.
“This is my master, the master of Plum Creek temple. You can also call her abbess Mei Xi,” Li Xinyi said.
“Greetings, mistress,” Li Chu hurriedly bowed.
Upon seeing Li Chu, Mei Xi’s eyes lit up. you have a good appearance. My disciple told me about your stunning appearance and I thought she was exaggerating.
Li Chu smiled. thank you for your praise, mistress. I’m ashamed. Please come in.
He smiled without hesitation because he knew that these two were here to give him money.
After leading the two of them into the courtyard, nun Mei Xi said, ” “Your Taoist temple is quite lively. In terms of incense offerings, it’s not inferior to many of the big temples in Hangzhou City.”
As she spoke, she looked at the incense ranking in the courtyard. It was the end of the month, and the numbers on it were already very exaggerated. She praised, ” “This is a pioneering move.”
“It’s my master’s idea,” Li Chu replied.
“It seems that your master is also an amazing person.” Abbess Mei Xi walked into the three pristines temple with a smile.
“This is my master, priestess Yu Qianqian?” Li Chu pointed.
Before he could finish his sentence, he noticed that Mei Xi’s shoulders trembled the moment she saw her master.
Her beautiful eyes were instantly dazed.
Her eyes seemed to be mocking him.
It was filled with stories.
He did not get a response, so he did not say anything more.
Yu Qi ‘an was reading the palm of a female devotee. He touched it for a long time before saying something.
It should be something big or small, which frightened the female devotee so much that she grabbed his old hand tightly.
After coaxing the female devotee to buy two luck-changing talismans and leave, he finally straightened his back.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Li Chu standing at the door with a sad-looking abbess Mei Xi.
Yu Qi ‘an was also stunned.
He blinked, as if he was quickly recalling something in his mind. After a long while, he softly called out, ” “Mei ‘er?”
This sound seemed to have called back Mei Xi’s soul.
Her eyes instantly turned red, and her lips trembled as she called out, ” “Brother Lei!”
Her voice was filled with heartbreak.
