Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "That was before I became a monk."

As he spoke, a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

"Oh! No wonder you were secretly meeting this vixen on the Cliff of Rewind, so that's why!"

Guangliang looked like he suddenly realized something, and started cursing at Li Xiuyuan.

"Shut up, you have no right to speak here."

With a sharp shout from Rouge, Guangliang dared not speak again. He was not afraid of Li Xiuyuan, but he was afraid of the witch in front of him.

Ultimately, Li Xiuyuan and Guangliang were fellow disciples. At most, they would teach each other a lesson, but they would never take each other's lives. However, Yanzhi was different.

Rouge coldly said, "Hmph, you abandoned me when we got married. If you want me to let him go, you'll have to marry me again at Lingyin Temple. Otherwise, you can wait to collect his corpse!"

As she spoke, she applied a little force to her hand, and Guangliang felt as if his entire arm was about to be dislocated.

"It hurts! Don't do anything rash! You idiot, just say yes already!"

Seeing that his life was threatened, Guangliang immediately tried to persuade Li Xiuyuan.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "But I am a monk, how can I get married, especially not at Lingyin Temple? My master would not allow it at all."

As he spoke, he looked quite embarrassed, but in reality, he was already overjoyed.

Li Xiuyuan was well aware that Yanzhi had a deep-seated desire to get married again, and because of what happened back then, he would try his best to fulfill her wish. He even devised a plan to have Guangliang kidnapped and threaten everyone at Lingyin Temple.

"Why worry about so much now! Just agree!"

As he spoke, Guangliang's expression turned bitter.

When Yan Zhi saw Guang Liang advising Li Xiuyuan, she stopped scolding him.

"Yes! Abbot Uncle, if we don't agree, then Uncle Guangliang will lose his life."

At this moment, Biqing, who was standing next to him, began to persuade him. Although he and Guangliang did not get along, he was anxious when he saw that Guangliang was about to be killed.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and then said, "Alright! I promise you."

As he spoke, he seemed to have made a great decision.

Upon hearing this, Rouge's lips curled up into a slight smile, which even made the flowers pale in comparison. She said, "Hmm. A nun doesn't lie, so don't try to fool me."

She looked very happy as she spoke.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and replied, "Of course."

He paused, then said, "Now, can you return Senior Brother Guangliang to me?"

As he said this, he couldn't help but blink.

Upon hearing this, Rouge sneered, "You wish! If you release him, what will I use to threaten you? Remember to have the bridal sedan chair come to pick me up outside the Heartless Cave."

With that, she waved her right hand and vanished, taking Guangliang with her.

"Senior Uncle Abbot, what do we do now?!"

After seeing Guangliang arrested, Biqing was at a loss and could only ask Li Xiuyuan for help.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan said in a deep voice, "How should I know? Who sent you here?"

As he spoke, he began to complain about the two men, saying that they were just unlucky.

Upon hearing this, Bi Qing said with a dejected face, "I told you not to come. But Uncle Guangliang insisted on bringing me. Now you've suffered!"

As he spoke, he had an expression that said, "You'll regret not listening to your elders."

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, now we can only find the abbot and discuss countermeasures."

With that, he hurried toward Lingyin Temple.

Bi Qing saw this and quickly followed.

"what?"

"Guangliang has been arrested!"

As he spoke, Huiming looked incredulous. You see, Li Xiuyuan's magical power was so great that few could match it. Who could possibly capture someone in front of him?

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and replied, "Yes! Senior Brother Guangliang was unlucky; he got caught on the Cliff of Returning Home."

He spoke with a calm expression.

"Abbot, you must think of a way to save Uncle Guangliang!"

Bi Qing couldn't help but try to persuade him, as he didn't want Guang Liang to die.

Huiming said in a deep voice, "Sigh! Guangliang is really something, why did he have to go to the Cliff of Rewind for no reason!"

He paused and then said, "Tell me what happened quickly."

Upon hearing this, Bi Qing quickly replied, "The thing is..."

After he finished speaking, sweat beaded on his forehead. He was so anxious that he could hardly speak properly, and it took him a lot of effort to explain himself clearly.

That's it!

Huiming suddenly realized and looked at Li Xiuyuan. He thought to himself, no wonder Guangliang was captured. It was because Daoji couldn't take action against that witch.

Huiming asked, "Daoji, what do you think we should do?"

As he spoke, he inquired about Li Xiuyuan.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and he chuckled, "Master, I think we should just leave it like this! Let Guangliang die out there, anyway, he doesn't do any work at Lingyin Temple and he's still so fat."

He paused and then said, "So that I won't make a mistake."

As he spoke, he seemed completely unconcerned about Guangliang's life or death.

Upon hearing this, Bi Qing immediately objected, saying, "No! Uncle Daoji, please have mercy! We'll find a way to help Uncle Guangliang."

As he spoke, he grabbed Li Xiuyuan's hand, pleading for his help.

Chapter 256 In the Heartless Cave

Because of Li Xiuyuan, Bi Qing completely sided with him. Taking advantage of the abbot's prestige, Bi Qing often bullied Guang Liang, and the two did not get along well.

But when Bi Qing heard that Guang Liang and Li Xiuyuan were unwilling to help Guang Liang, she still felt a little reluctant and her sympathy overflowed.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "Don't talk like that, I'm not gay."

Having said that, he quickly shook his hand away.

Bi Qing looked dejected and stared longingly at Abbot Huiming. The old monk sighed and said, "Nonsense! Daoji, this is the mess you made, so you should deal with it. As for Guangliang, you need to bring him back safe and sound."

As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and focused his mind as he approached.

Li Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, that woman wants me to marry her at Lingyin Temple. How can that be allowed! That would be breaking a precept."

As he spoke, he seemed quite unwilling.

Upon hearing this, Huiming couldn't help but think to himself, "You're afraid of breaking the precepts?" He said in a deep voice, "Amitabha! The Buddhist scriptures say: 'If I don't go to hell, who will?' Daoji, you should sacrifice yourself!"

As he spoke, he was filled with emotion, realizing how great the sacrifice was.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan nodded and replied, "I understand that Master means for me to marry that female benefactor."

As he spoke, he looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

"Amitabha!"

Huiming pondered for a moment and said, "This old monk did not say that. In short, you just need to rescue Guangliang. I will not be in the temple for the next two months."

With that, he turned and left, afraid that Li Xiuyuan would continue to press him for answers.

Huiming is, after all, the abbot of the temple. If even he agrees, what kind of order would it be for Li Xiuyuan and Yanzhi to get married?

Huiming's departure now is an escape. He pretends not to know anything, goes down the mountain, and will return after this matter is over.

After seeing Huiming leave, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but purse his lips, thinking to himself that the old monk was pretending to be ignorant.

"Abbot, Abbot!"

After seeing the old monk leave, Biqing called out loudly, but the other party remained unmoved and continued to leave. Biqing said in distress, "Uncle Abbot, what should we do?"

As he spoke, he asked Li Xiuyuan again, whose intelligence was truly worrisome.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and he chuckled, "Foolish! The abbot told us to do our own thing. As long as we bring Senior Brother Guangliang back, he won't interfere with the process."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gave Bi Qing a burst of pleasure.

"Ouch!"

Bi Qing winced in pain, clutching his forehead, and exclaimed with delight, "That means you're allowed to get married!"

As he spoke, he looked extremely happy.

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Amitabha! If I don't go to hell, who will? I have no choice but to sacrifice myself to save Senior Brother Guangliang."

Having said that, he essentially admitted it.

"Ha ha!"

"Uncle Guangliang is saved!"

Upon hearing this, Bi Qing couldn't help but feel happy, without even considering the occasion.

"Alright, let's get the wedding preparations done!"
