Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

The fact that no one from the Cui family informed her made Xinlan feel rejected.

Chapter 308 Lingyin Temple

"Xinlan!"

Seeing tears welling up in her niece's eyes, Old Madam Cui felt a pang of guilt and said in a deep voice, "You unfilial son, hurry up and apologize to Xinlan."

As she spoke, she glared fiercely at Cui Junsheng. If it weren't for him, this disaster wouldn't have happened in her family.

"Xinlan, I'm sorry. But it's not my fault. It was that vixen who used her magic to bewitch me and prevent me from showing up at the wedding."

As he spoke, Cui Junsheng stepped forward and gently persuaded his fiancée.

"Humph!"

After hearing Cui Junsheng's words, Xinlan let out a muffled groan and turned her head away. She was utterly disappointed in this cousin.

I originally thought that Cui Junsheng would improve after the wedding, but unexpectedly, he didn't even show up on the wedding day.

As for the supposed seduction by a vixen, haha! If Cui Junsheng hadn't been messing around outside, how could he have been targeted by a vixen!

That's just Cui Junsheng's personality; he always shifts the blame to others and never takes responsibility on his own. Over the years, she's seen through him.

Despite Cui Junsheng's situation, Xinlan didn't actually like this cousin much. Although they grew up together as childhood sweethearts, she wouldn't have agreed to the marriage if it weren't for her aunt's matchmaking.

"hehe!"

Seeing that Xinlan was ignoring him, Cui Junsheng could only laugh awkwardly twice to ease the embarrassment.

"Xinlan, this time it's Junsheng's fault. Don't worry, I will definitely teach him a lesson."

Madam Cui spoke loudly, hoping that her son could settle down, study hard, pass the imperial examinations, and bring glory to the family.

Therefore, they arranged a marriage for Cui Junsheng, hoping that he would appear more mature after marriage.

As for the person Cui Junsheng chose to marry, he was quite satisfied with Xinlan, whom he had taken care of since childhood.

Unexpectedly, Cui Junsheng proved to be so disappointing, leaving on his wedding day. Although the vixen played a part, he couldn't escape responsibility either.

"Ok!"

Xinlan nodded slightly, then glanced at Cui Junsheng with a wistful look, hoping he could improve.

Once the marriage is arranged, it's hard to back out. Cui Junsheng can go back on his word, but Xinlan can't. She's been educated in the Three Obediences and Four Virtues since childhood, and she wouldn't do such a thing.

"I'm sorry to have made you two heroes laugh at me!"

Madam Cui smiled and said to Zhao Bin and Chen Liang, "There are outsiders here right now, so it's really not appropriate to say anything more."

"It's alright, this is the old lady's family matter, so we won't delay any longer. We still need to invite my master here as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Chen Liang helped Zhao Bin up.

"Alright! In that case, let Xiao Hong take the two heroes to the guest rooms first!"

With that, Old Master Cui instructed his servants to hurry up and get to work.

"Yes, old lady!"

A cheerful maidservant answered from the side. She walked in front and said with a smile, "Heroes, please follow me."

After saying that, she beckoned to Chen Liang and Zhao Bin, who followed closely behind her.

Afterwards, after seeing Zhao Bin and Chen Liang leave, Madam Cui comforted her for a while before calming down her future daughter-in-law.

However, Xinlan also set a standard, allowing only one offense, not wanting Cui Junsheng to repeat the mistake.

Upon hearing this, Cui Junsheng remembered that Xinlan had temporarily forgiven him, so he immediately patted his chest and replied that it would not happen again in the future.

..................................................

Zhao Bin and Chen Liang were led by a maid to a guest room in the backyard, where they found no one else around.

Zhao Bin couldn't help but purse his lips and say, "Hey, Chen Liang, why didn't you let me take a look a little longer?"

As he spoke, he felt a little dissatisfied.

"This is their family matter, why should we meddle so much!"

As he spoke, Chen Liang responded frankly.

He paused for a moment, then said, "We'd better hurry and invite our master over! Only then can we subdue that monster."

After saying that, Chen Liang got to the important matter.

The two originally thought their magic was quite powerful, but they never imagined that there were always stronger beings out there. If this fox spirit was so powerful, there must be even more powerful figures out there.

"Yes! That's true. That monster is incredibly powerful. You and I are no match for it. Who knows when it will arrive!"

After hearing Chen Liang's words, Zhao Bin nodded in agreement. He knew very well that the fox spirit's magic was far stronger than theirs.

Indeed, this needs to be taken seriously. The two then sat cross-legged on the ground and simultaneously began to circulate the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra. A phantom image of the Great Sun appeared on the backs of Chen Liang and Zhao Bin.

If you look closely at that illusory image of the Great Sun Dharma, you will find that it looks somewhat similar to Li Xiuyuan. However, the two of them are thinking about contacting Li Xiuyuan at the moment, so they naturally don't care about that.

The two recited Buddhist scriptures and expressed their thoughts in writing, which were then incorporated into the Dharma imagery.

.....................................

At the same time, Li Xiuyuan at Lingyin Temple frowned. It turned out that Chen Liang and Zhao Bin's telepathic communication had startled him.

After examining the cause and effect, Li Xiuyuan finally understood the whole story. He thought to himself, "I never expected that Chen Liang and Zhao Bin would come to the Cui residence."

I remember in the original novel, Cui Junsheng, the young master of the Cui family, was entangled by a fox spirit, and nothing has changed yet.

However, the events unfolded quite differently from the original story. Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that considering Chen Liang and Zhao Bin's magical abilities, they were probably no match for Hu Huahua. He would have to take action himself, otherwise his two disciples would definitely not be able to protect Cui Junsheng.

With a thought, Li Xiuyuan emerged from his seclusion. It was good; he was tired from Lingyin Temple and could take a walk outside.

Chapter 309 Entering the Cui Residence

309: Xinlan, a commoner

Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up. He thought to himself, "This Hu Huahua and Bai Ling have a close relationship. They are aunt and niece. If I were to kill her, I shouldn't let her know."

Therefore, Bai Ling must not know about this trip. After thinking about it, he activated his spatial teleportation ability and arrived outside the Cui residence in an instant.

But one can see that the outer walls are white and protective, the green willows are drooping all around, there are three hanging flower gate towers, and covered corridors on all four sides.

The courtyard is adorned with interconnected paths and scattered rocks. The entire courtyard is magnificent and elegant, with a lush and exquisite garden. The backyard is filled with roses and peony bushes, and features a pond.

Li Xiuyuan said loudly, "Amitabha!"

After he finished speaking, his loud voice echoed throughout the entire mansion.

Before everyone's eyes, they heard a Buddhist chant, and then Zhao Bin and Chen Liang were the first to react.

The two exclaimed in surprise, "Yes, Master!"

With that, they leaped out the door. Neither of them had expected Li Xiuyuan to be so fast. They had only just sent the message when he arrived.

In fact, Li Xiuyuan's speed could be even faster. His spatial abilities are truly wondrous. The ancient ancestral witches could travel millions of miles in an instant, while Li Xiuyuan was still far behind!

In an instant, Zhao Bin and Chen Liang rushed out and saw Li Xiuyuan standing outside the door. The two of them respectfully said, "Disciples Zhao Bin and Chen Liang greet Master."

As they spoke, they knelt down on the ground.

"Well, no need to be polite."

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said calmly, "I already know about your affairs. My purpose in coming here is to help you eliminate demons."

After saying that, he explained his background. If it weren't for the two of them, he probably wouldn't have appeared!

"Thank you Master!"

The two responded in unison, but their faces showed great embarrassment. They thought they were quite capable, but they didn't expect to suffer a setback so soon after coming down the mountain.

Finally, we must invite Li Xiuyuan over. After this matter is over, he must return to Lingyin Temple to cultivate properly. Only in this way can he quickly improve his cultivation level.

"Yes, don't be discouraged. That monster has cultivated for a thousand years. It's understandable that you are no match for him. As long as you work hard, you will be able to surpass him."

Seeing the two looking dejected, Li Xiuyuan offered them a few words of comfort.

But the more Li Xiuyuan said this, the more ashamed Zhao Bin and Chen Liang felt. Thinking back to when they first came down the mountain, they were full of high spirits, but now it was a complete reversal of their former self.

Just as the group was talking, Old Madam Cui from the courtyard rushed out. While they were busy, they suddenly heard someone say: "Amitabha!"

Naturally, they were quite surprised. When they heard from the servant that there was a monk outside, and that the two heroes, Zhao Bin and Chen Liang, were already at the door, everyone rushed over immediately.

"Two heroes, may I ask who this gentleman is?"

After saying this, Madam Cui, dressed in a silk brocade robe, came out and asked the two people questions first.

Everyone in the Cui household was genuinely afraid that the two heroes would leave without saying goodbye, after all, the matter of the monsters had not yet been completely resolved!

So everyone ran out quickly.

"Oh! This is our master, the Living Buddha and Holy Monk."

When Zhao Bin saw that Madam Cui had asked about it, he took the initiative to introduce them.

Li Xiuyuan replied calmly, "Amitabha! This humble monk is Daoji. Greetings, Madam."

At this moment, he was wearing a golden monk's robe, embroidered with golden petals. Coupled with his accomplished cultivation, he exuded the aura of a high-ranking monk, which naturally made people feel close to him.

Li Xiuyuan's appearance gave people a very gentle feeling.

"So it is the holy monk in person. This old woman greets you."
