Dongfeng Linyuan looked at Gu Liyue, who was his niece. Although outsiders didn't know, he knew her very well. However, he didn't know why she didn't return to the Dongfeng family. There were all kinds of speculations and opinions.

He didn't know why exactly, but when he saw her, he remembered the time when he was caught meeting Sang Lin. Later he found out that it was her doing, and he felt really uncomfortable.

He said coldly, "In this way, the strength of our Dongfeng family has been exposed."

Gu Liyue said, "It's the same for everyone. You can see this information on the notice board in the square. When participating in the competition, cultivators just need to show their name tags. There's no need to go through the tedious registration process."

Dongfeng Linyuan rolled his eyes and said nothing else, "If that's the case, then enter it."

Gu Liyue looked at the disciple who was responsible for entering information. The disciple stepped forward with great tact and served diligently.

At this time, voices were heard outside the mountain gate again, and there seemed to be some commotion. Gu Liyue went out to take a look, and saw a gorgeous spirit boat parked outside the mountain gate.

Standing on the deck were handsome men and beautiful women, their attire all extremely elegant. The female cultivators were draped in gauze, looking ethereal, while the male cultivators' attire also had slightly exposed necklines, showing their best side to the public.

At this time, he was preparing to get off the spirit boat.

Dozens of people got off the spirit boat and got ready. A golden light flashed in the C position and a charming female cultivator appeared there. Gu Liyue looked closely and found that it was Murong Xu.

At this time, Murong Xu held the hand of a handsome man beside her with one hand, and looked at Gu Liyue. A dark look flashed across her eyes, but she smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the Sect Master's personal disciple would be so polite and welcome this Valley Master here."

Gu Liyue only felt that the Lord of Baihua Valley seemed to be somewhat hostile towards her, and she didn't know where the hostility came from.

She had no choice but to say generously, "It's only right that you, Master of the Valley, visit us. Please come in."

Dozens of eyes in Baihua Valley immediately focused on Gu Liyue; some were amazed, some were jealous, and some were wary.

Gu Liyue acted like a generous host and led everyone to the main hall. At this time, the Dongfeng family's team had finished recording the information and entered the Xuantian Sect.

She said to Murong Xu, "The team that just walked in is the Dongfeng family. They have just completed the registration process. Please ask everyone in Baihua Valley to do the same."

Murong Xu didn't say anything when he heard it. The Dongfeng family ranked first among the aristocratic families. Although there was still some gap compared with the sects, it could not be ignored.

I don’t know if the ranking will change after five years.

Gu Liyue knew that as long as someone registered as required, things would be much easier.

These clans and noble families were extremely concerned with prestige. Since others could register, they could too. Refusing to register would be a sign of weakness. Most people would think this way and generally wouldn't refuse to register.

Seeing that everything was going well, Gu Liyue thought about returning to her own cave, otherwise she would really end up receiving guests at the mountain gate.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a distant Buddhist sound was heard at the mountain gate. It was the team from Wanfo Temple that had arrived. Gu Liyue originally just wanted to take a look, but this glance was seen by the sharp eyes of the monk Jingxu.

His voice was like a bell, full of joy and excitement: "Fairy Gu."

She had no choice but to walk out of the hall, stand up straight and say, "Master Jingxu, welcome, welcome."

Then he led the way for the twenty or so monks.

The disciples guarding the mountain gate watched Gu Liyue leading a group of monks forward. The scene was a little strange.

Gu Liyue actually didn't understand why these Buddhist practitioners would compete with the Taoist practitioners.

In her understanding, Buddhism and Taoism were two different schools, so what was there to compete with? Seeing Jingxu's warm personality, she couldn't help but want to get to know him better.

So he took them to register and enter their information, and personally took them to the guest house. Along the way, he chatted with Jingxu.

"Master, I am ignorant and don't know the difference between Buddhism and Taoism. Could you please help me clear up my confusion?"

Jingxu glanced at her and said, "You seem to be considered an elder in the Xuantian Sect. You don't need to call yourself a junior in front of me, nor do you need to call me Master."

Gu Liyue opened her mouth, not knowing how to respond. If she said that we were not that familiar with each other, it would be too direct.

Finally, he had to ask, "Then what do you think is a good name?"

Jingxu said, "Just call each other by our names. You can call me Jingxu, and I'll call you Gu Liyue."

Gu Liyue looked at the group of monks following behind. They all had solemn expressions on their faces. It seemed that only the leader was an exception! Her previous understanding of monks was correct!

I could only whisper, "Okay."

Jingxu said, "Your question is very good. Actually, you practice Taoism, and we Buddhists practice Buddhism. Although the methods are different, we both cultivate spiritual energy."

Gu Liyue looked up at his smiling face and said, "Since the only difference is the cultivation method, then I wonder what the significance of practicing Buddhism is. Is it necessary to cultivate good and stop evil to save all living beings?"

Jingxu said: "This is just the requirement of the Buddhist practice method, and it is just a general framework. There are many more rules and regulations. I believe you don't want to understand them."

The Buddhist teachings that Gu Liyue knew in her previous life should have different interpretations in the world of immortal cultivation, but she did not expect that these Buddhist practitioners would go on the martial arts arena to compete with Taoist immortal cultivators, which was also something she found fresh.

"Oh, Jingxu, don't you think that practicing Buddhism is hard? I have big principles in my heart. Under these big principles, what I prefer is freedom."

Jingxu also became interested after hearing what Gu Liyue said: "You can understand it as, we Buddhists pursue spiritual freedom, and physical freedom will somewhat hinder spiritual freedom."

Gu Liyue seemed to be lost in thought. From the education she received in her previous life, she knew that only by fulfilling certain obligations could one enjoy certain rights. She also knew the principle of "Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you."

She has a set of concepts of right and wrong and the idea of ​​doing good and not doing evil in her mind, which are the general principles she just mentioned.

If a monk does not have these, he does need some precepts to restrain himself.

For some reason, she always felt that Buddhist practitioners had more rules and regulations and were less human.

Jingxu looked at her thinking and followed her quietly.

Gu Liyue came back to her senses and asked curiously, "I heard that Buddhist practitioners are all very wise, and I also heard that the Dharma is boundless. Is that really that powerful?"

Jingxu still had a grin on his face: "It depends on one's opinion. There are always some who are stronger and some who are weaker."

Gu Liyue knew that she probably wouldn't be able to find out anything about their team's strength from him, so she didn't ask.

After taking them to the guest house, she wanted to go back to the cave.

Jingxu stopped her and said, "Gu Liyue, if you are interested in Buddhism, you can come to me anytime."

Gu Liyue thought to herself: No need.

But he said with a smile: "Okay."
