Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

He paused and then continued, "I haven't been away from Lingyin Temple for long, and it's about time I went back. Guangliang is still here, and we can't let him find out about our affair."

As he spoke, he pointed to Guangliang, who was fast asleep on the ground.

After hearing this, Rouge nodded and replied, "Mm!"

Without hesitation, she agreed, especially after being persuaded by that poem, she felt that being apart for a while wouldn't matter.

Rouge was originally a woman who had been raised with the traditional virtues of obedience to her husband. Although she had experienced a great change, her hatred for Li Xiuyuan lessened, and she still obeyed him.

After hearing Yan Zhi agree, Li Xiuyuan walked to Guangliang's side, stomped on him twice, and said, "Get out of bed now!"

As he spoke, Guangliang on the ground was completely unaware.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, "You really are a talent. You can sleep so soundly here. I'm truly impressed."

Li Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment and then said, "It's on fire."

As soon as he finished speaking, Guangliang jumped up from the ground and said, "It's on fire! Quickly sprinkle water!"

As he spoke, his speed exceeded everyone's expectations.

After seeing Guangliang stand up, Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Alright, let's go!"

Guangliang rubbed his eyes upon hearing this; he was still a little dazed!

He said, "Go? Where do you want to go? I wasn't dreaming just now. It seems like I was kidnapped by a female demon."

As he spoke, he looked as if he had just woken up.

"Who are you calling a female demon?"

Upon hearing this, Rouge immediately objected. She didn't want to lose face in front of Li Xiuyuan, as being called a female demon was indeed very unpleasant.

"Of course it's that red-clad female monster!"

Upon hearing this, Guangliang responded without hesitation.

"Snapped!"

Upon hearing this, Rouge rushed forward and kicked him in the buttocks.

boom.

Guangliang's body was pressed against the cliff. Only then did he realize that he hadn't been dreaming. He cried out, "Save me, Daoji! This female demon has drugged me!"

As he spoke, he immediately hid behind Li Xiuyuan, only then would he feel safe.

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "I understand!"

As he spoke, he thought to himself, "You don't know, do you? The so-called drugging was something I instructed Rouge to do."

"You still call her a female demon? Looks like you don't want the antidote!"

A smile played on Rouge's lips, but it sent chills down one's spine.

"Don't, don't!"

Upon hearing that the antidote would not be given, Guangliang immediately begged for mercy.

Seeing Guangliang's state, Li Xiuyuan said in a deep voice, "Guangliang, let's go quickly! As for the antidote, we'll think of a way later."

As he spoke, he stepped out of the cave, and Guangliang, who had finally managed to leave, naturally wouldn't let it go, and followed closely behind Li Xiuyuan.

As for the antidote, Guangliang temporarily put it out of his mind.

In the dining hall of Lingyin Temple, Biqing cried out, "Uncle-Master Guangliang, you're going to die!"

As he spoke, he looked utterly heartbroken, a sight that truly evoked pity in me.

It turned out that Guangliang had not eaten for a day after being captured and imprisoned in the Heartless Cave, so he went straight to the kitchen as soon as he returned to Lingyin Temple.

Guangliang shoveled mouthfuls of rice into his mouth and said, "Pah, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm not dead yet!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but start cursing. Bi Qing had completely ruined his good mood during the meal.

"But, Uncle Guangliang, you only have ten days left to live, so eat more! So you can die well-fed."

As he spoke, Biqing kept putting food into Guangliang's large bowl.

Guangliang said coldly, "Hmph, this was all Daoji's fault, why should I suffer?"

As he spoke, he recalled that he had joined the two men's fight because of Daoji.

Most importantly, he also ingested a poison pill and only has ten days left to live.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Hey, don't wrong an innocent person! If it weren't for me, you'd still be in the Heartless Cave!"

As he spoke, he gave me a look that said, "You don't appreciate kindness."

Guangliang groaned, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been captured by that female demon."

As he spoke, he put down his rice bowl.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Fine, I'll leave and won't appear before you again."

With that, he lifted his leg to leave.

Seeing this, Guangliang couldn't let the other party have their way, and said repeatedly, "No! It was my fault, senior brother, okay?"

As he spoke, he stood up and grabbed Li Xiuyuan's arm.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and he chuckled, "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."

As he spoke, a look of anger appeared on Guangliang's face, but considering that his life still needed the other party's help, he had to bow his head when he was under someone else's roof.

Guangliang grinned and said, "Junior brother, I was wrong. Please help me this once! Just make do with marrying that female demon so we can get the antidote."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice. Guangliang naturally didn't want to die, so he spoke to him in a gentle and polite manner.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Very well, as the saying goes: If I don't go to hell, who will? This humble monk agrees, and will marry that woman to get the antidote for you."

As he spoke, he started clapping.

"Amitabha! I knew my junior brother was the best."

Guangliang said with a grin, "I have no choice but to say the most disgusting things to save my life."

Chapter 259 Marrying Rouge

"Dong dong!"

As the sound of bronze bells rang out, the entire Lingyin Temple sprang into action.

Above the main entrance of the Mahavira Hall, there were two large "double happiness" characters, while Guangliang called on everyone to get to work.

"Scan carefully, faster, faster."

"And straighten it over here."

"Yes, that banner should be slightly higher on the right and slightly lower on the left!"

Bi Qing, standing nearby, directed the others, shouting, "Higher!"

"Straighten the red cloth for me."

"Straighten it, straighten it, please hurry up!"

Guangliang shouted with a dejected face. There was nothing he could do; it concerned his life and fortune, so he naturally put his heart into it.

"Oh, really, that's right, it's Bi Tong!"

Guangliang called out, saying that he was the most dedicated person in Lingyin Temple to marrying Yanzhi, waking everyone up to work before dawn.

Hearing Guangliang's call, Biqing saw Bitong walk past him and called out, "I'm talking to you!"

As he spoke, he pulled Bi Tong over.

Bi Tong was a shifty-eyed monk. He was of the same generation as Bi Qing, but he stuttered a bit. After hearing Bi Qing's words, he walked over and called out loudly, "Hey... here!"

Hearing the voice behind him, Guangliang jumped in fright and quickly turned around. Seeing Bitong, he shouted, "Did you take the lantern I told you to take?!"

As he spoke, he urged again, saying, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

Upon hearing this, Bi Tong stopped, put down what he was holding, and suddenly called out again, "Uncle-Master, there isn't any."

Bi Qing scolded, "If you don't have it, hurry up and get it. And bring the red carpet with you too."

As he spoke, he ordered Bi Tong to come again.

"Hmm... Yes, yes!"

Bi Tong responded loudly upon hearing this and returned to the crowd.

After seeing Bi Tong leave, Guang Liang continued to direct the others, determined that this wedding absolutely could not afford any mistakes.

Bi Qing shouted, "Everyone, stop!"

As they spoke, the group emerged from their busy work and walked over.

Bi Qing coughed and then said loudly, "This is the first time that someone in our Lingyin Temple has held a wedding, and it is also the wedding of our Abbot Uncle. Therefore, our hall must be decorated solemnly, seriously, and cleanly, so that it can be worthy of our Abbot Uncle."

He paused, then said, "Alright, you guys get back to work!"

As he spoke, he began to direct the crowd again. Even though Li Xiuyuan was not present, he did not forget to flatter him, for only in this way could he gain more power.

After listening to Bi Qing's words, Guang Liang thought to himself, "What a sycophant! If I weren't there to direct things, would this wedding have been able to go through?"

However, Guangliang only cursed in his heart and dared not say anything else.
