Evil Master and Disciple

Qingyang Town, northern part of Jiuhua Mountain.

Qingyang Town is located on the northeastern edge of the Jiuhua Mountains. Although it is called a town, it is actually very prosperous and is no smaller than many provincial capitals in the human world.

The reason for the prosperity of Qingyang Town is Jiuhua Mountain.

Jiuhua Mountain has been a Buddhist holy place since ancient times, and its Buddhist history is much longer than that of Lingshan, where Lingtai Temple is located.

Lingtai Temple has only risen in the last two or three years, but old Buddhist holy sites such as Jiuhua Mountain, Wutai Mountain, and Putuo Mountain have existed for tens of thousands of years in Buddhist history.

The Jiuhua Mountains are not large in area. According to the area units of Ye Feng's previous life, it is only a few hundred square kilometers, which is incomparable to the Tianyun Mountains.

Because of the limitations of the terrain of Jiuhua Mountain, it is destined that there will not be super sects like Yunhai Sect, Lingtai Temple, Yunu Sect, and Xuanzhen Sect here. Instead, small-scale Taoist temples are the main ones.

Jiuhua Mountain is known as the Ninety-Nine Peaks, but there are hundreds of large and small Taoist temples in Jiuhua Mountain. On average, there are two or three temples on each mountain.

It is precisely because there are many Taoist temples in Jiuhua Mountain and it is an ancient holy place of Buddhism that it attracts countless devout pilgrims from all over the world to burn incense and pray every year. Since there are so many scenic spots in Jiuhua Mountain, there are also many tourists who come here every year.

These pilgrims and tourists come from other places and usually stay in Qingyang Town on the outskirts of Jiuhua Mountain, which is why Qingyang Town is so prosperous.

At dusk, a man and a woman walked into Qingyang Town. They were Ye Feng and Yun Shuang'er in disguise.

Standing on the street in Qingyang Town, you can look up and see the continuous mountains to the south.

In his previous life, Ye Feng had traveled to Jiuhua Mountain in his previous world and was cheated out of 9,000 yuan by a monk who asked him to pray for blessings. Later, he realized that he had been cheated and went to ask for the money back, but the monk was unwilling to return the money. Finally, Ye Feng said that he would go to the local Buddhist Association, and the other party was willing to return it, but only 6,000 yuan.

Because of the unpleasant experiences in his previous life, Ye Feng had no good feelings towards the Jiuhua Mountain in this world.

However, I have to say that the scenery of Jiuhua Mountain is indeed nice.

The Jiuhua Mountains are a branch of the Huangshan Mountains. The peaks are winding and undulating, and the sea of ​​clouds is rushing. Especially in winter, if you are lucky, you can see the Buddha's light shining above the sea of ​​clouds. It is truly beautiful.

Yun Shuang'er said, "Xiao Feng, do you want to contact your sister Shangguan and have them meet up with us in Qingyang Town?"

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "Don't worry. We are not here for business, but for pleasure. Let's find an inn first and eat some local delicacies. It won't be too late to contact Shangguan and the others tomorrow."

Yun Shuang'er said, "Big Sister has been to Chizhou before. She has also visited Jiuhua Mountain. I remember Big Sister told me that there's a Yipinzhai in Qingyang Town at the foot of Jiuhua Mountain. They seem to make very good vegetarian dishes, especially the Babaozhai and Yunzao Cake. I've always wanted to try them but never had the chance. Now that it's getting dark, why don't we go to Yipinzhai and try them? What do you think?"

Yun Shuang'er rarely mentioned what to eat, so Ye Feng naturally wouldn't refuse. He grinned and said, "Shuang'er, do you want to eat something? Of course I agree. Let's go, let's go to Yipinzhai now."

After some inquiries, the two of them soon arrived at Yipinzhai.

Qingyang Town is permeated with Buddhist culture, and things related to Buddhism can be seen being sold everywhere on both sides of the street.

Even the restaurants and inns in Qingyang Town are full of Buddhist culture.

Because this place was developed because of Buddhism, the meals here are mainly vegetarian. There are Yipinzhai, Babaozhai, Wenyazhai, Luohanzhai... all over the street.

If you don’t know, you might think it is Panjiayuan in Beijing.

Yipinzhai is the most famous vegetarian restaurant in Qingyang Town. It looks quite old, with an old plaque and faded couplets in front of the door.

It was lunchtime, and Yipinzhai was doing very well, with almost all the seats occupied.

After Ye Feng and Yun Shuang'er entered the store, it took a while before the waiter came to greet them.

The waiters here are also dressed very interestingly. They don't look like waiters. Their grey clothes make them look like monks with hair.

"Waiter, please give us a private room."

"I'm sorry, sir, but the private rooms in this inn are full. How about you two dine in the lobby?"

The waiter was very respectful and polite.

The reason is that Ye Feng and Yun Shuang'er have extraordinary temperaments and are holding magic swords. They are obviously cultivators, not ordinary people.

Ye Feng frowned slightly.

Because San Zhier was not convenient to appear in public, it would be better to book a private room for dining. Unexpectedly, when he arrived a little late, the private rooms on the second and third floors were already full.

If Ye Feng came to eat alone, he would definitely turn around and leave.

But this is the restaurant that Yun Shuang'er specifically asked to eat at, so San Zhi'er can only be excused.

Ye Feng said: "Shuang'er, what do you think?"

Yun Shuang'er said, "I can be anywhere."

Ye Feng nodded.

Led by the waiter, the two soon arrived at an empty table on the inside of the lobby on the first floor.

After sitting down, Ye Feng looked at the menu hanging on the wall. It was all vegetarian. He was a carnivore and didn't like vegetarian food, so he asked Yun Shuang'er to take care of it.

Yun Shuang'er ordered a few of her favorite dishes.

Shortly after the two of them sat down, the figure of Saint Lingyin appeared in front of the gate of Yipinzhai.

She was still wearing a water-green dress, with a water-green veil covering her cheeks.

Even so, many passers-by couldn't help but take a few more glances.

There's no way around it. Even with her face covered, her figure, skin color, and those big, watery, KISS ME eyes would make people think she's a peerless beauty.

Everyone loves beauty, and who doesn’t want to take a few more glances at a beautiful woman?

Lingyin did not enter Yipinzhai.

After standing in front of the gate for a while, he went straight to a restaurant opposite Yipinzhai, called Tianxiangzhai.

Although the two restaurants are located opposite each other, their clientele are quite different.

Yipinzhai was almost full, but Tianxiangzhai was only half full.

Led by the waiter, Lingyin came to a private room by the window on the second floor, ordered a few dishes casually, and sent the waiter away.

Then she opened the window and looked at Yipinzhai across the street.

Her intuition told her that Ye Feng and Yun Shuang'er's destination was Jiuhua Mountain.

Lingyin's eyes were quite solemn at this moment.

Of course she knew that Ye Feng and Yun Shuang'er did not come here in disguise to eat vegetarian food, their target should be Jiuhua Mountain.

And Senior Linglong is in Jiuhua Mountain right now.

So the clever Lingyin had almost guessed that Ye Feng and Yun Shuang'er might have come for Senior Linglong.

Soon the waiter brought the dishes up.

After Lingyin set up two soundproof barriers in this private room, she took off her veil and sat at the table by the window to eat vegetarian food.

After a few bites, it tasted bland.

She is also a carnivore, and these oil-free meals are really hard to swallow.

So, the Holy Lady Lingyin put down her chopsticks and took out the Lingyin Mirror from her arms.
