Rebirth of the Demon Dao

Because of the heavy snowfall, Lu Yuanhe slept dishonestly, always moved his feet, and liked to grab the quilt, so the white pheasant got up very early.

After getting up, he saw Bai Yin practicing sword in the yard.

It was still ice and snow outside, although the snow was a little smaller, but the weather became colder.Bai Yin's clothes were thin, but when he practiced the sword, he was heroic, extremely handsome and elegant, very good-looking.Bai Yu stood on the porch with arms folded, and shouted, "Uncle Shi, why did you get up so early."

Hakuin let out a "hmm", and then put away the sword, fine beads of sweat were already on his forehead.

He followed Bai Yin into the room, saw Lin Yunshen was still lying on the bed, but he was already awake, and smiled when he saw him coming.

He felt that today's Uncle Yang was a little unusual, he seemed to be extraordinarily docile and honest.

"I'm going to investigate the case with Miss Lin today, so I'll let Baiyan accompany you." Baiyan wiped the sweat from his face, then turned to look at Baiyan: "Your Master Yang, I'll leave it to you."

"Don't worry, uncle."

After Bai Yin left, Bai Yu was sitting in the room, but he was an honest man, and before Lin Yunshen made jokes, he was comfortable getting along with him.Today I don't know what's wrong with Master Yang, he lay on the bed, didn't speak, just leaned on his arm and was lost in thought.Bai Yan thought of Lu Yuanhe's benefit.Although Mr. Lu is so young, he acts like a mad rabbit, but with him around, he really won't stand in the cold.So he got up and went to the next door to tell Lu Yuanhe to get up.

Who knew that when he pushed the door open, Lu Yuanhe was not there.

It was almost lunch time when Lu Yuanhe came back with a pot of white plum blossoms in his arms.

"Come and see my plum blossom, it's a rare commodity."

Bai Yan said, "You disappeared for a while just to buy a pot of white plums?"

"Young man, you say you have little knowledge, but you shouldn't also think that I, Lu Yuanhe, have little knowledge. This is not an ordinary white plum," he said, putting it on the table, and turned to look at Lin Yunshen: "This is a golden plum, you didn't Have you seen it?"

"Sprinkling Jinmei?"

"The one that can change color?" Lin Yunshen asked.

"That's right!" Lu Yuanhe said as if presenting a treasure: "This is even rarer than ordinary golden plums. After blooming, it can change at least two colors, or even three or four colors. The freshly bloomed flowers are all white. Soon, There will be little pink spots on the edge of the plum blossoms, which will slowly expand to the center of the flower, and finally the pink plum blossoms will become one piece, and there will even be green spots of Sajinmei." (Quoted from Encyclopedia)

Lu Yuanhe said: "How about it, I'll treat you well. I know you're bedridden and bored, so I bought such a rare flower to relieve your boredom."

"Where did you get the money, don't you have no money?"

Lu Yuanhe looked at Baiyan with a smile, and Baiyan said in shock: "You stole my money again!"

"What is stealing? I'm borrowing, and I will pay you back a thousand times in the future!"

Lin Yunshen lay on the bed and fiddled with the flower buds: "As for plum blossoms, Bai Yin and I went to Chen's house yesterday, there are so many plum blossoms in the courtyard of Chen's house, I think there are many colors, and the whole courtyard is full of plum blossom fragrance. "

"You went to the Chen family?" Lu Yuanhe said: "The master of his family is not a friendly person, he has a very strange temper."

"What kind of weird method?"

"His character is not good. About the Chen family, I guess you haven't heard of it."

"I've heard from Hakuin that I've never been interested in such dignified matters."

As soon as Lu Yuanhe heard this, he moved a bench and sat in front of the bed. Feeling uncomfortable, he took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed.The white pheasant grabbed him: "What are you going to do?"

"Telling a story, of course, you can tell it as comfortably as possible. It's warm in the bed."

As he said that, he got in, covered his legs with the quilt, and sat cross-legged on the bed: "This Chen Qiuling, it is said that he is not a good person. You know that old sect master Chen has two sons, twins, and the two sons grew up together." The same appearance. But the twin sons of this mother and compatriot have completely different temperaments. The eldest son Chen Mingyue, according to his character, is a real romantic person. He is as gentle as jade, chic and suave. According to the tradition of the Taoist family, the eldest son is to inherit the position of sect master, but this Chen Mingyue has chosen to practice Yinshan technique...it is the one that Lin Yunshen cultivated..." He glanced at Bai Yan, obviously explaining to him: "Famous sect The eldest son of the upright, but practiced Yin and evil techniques, so naturally he could no longer inherit the position of sect master. But this Chen Mingyue practiced secretly, and no one knew about it at the beginning. Later, he was reported by others, and ended up being a The fate of being killed, and the person who reported him is said to be Chen Qiuling."

"Supposedly?"

"This kind of confidential matter, of course, can only be said to be his own son. How could the old sect master Chen reveal who reported it!" Lu Yuanhe's face became serious: "Let's talk about the second child of the Chen family, Chen Qiuling, Chen Qiuling, Zi Feng He was originally called Chen Xinghe, but his original name was Chen Xinghe. Back then, Mrs. Chen gave birth to twins. It means the moon and the stars. But this Chen Qiuling and his elder brother have exactly the opposite temperament. He has been out of gregarious since he was a child, and he is quite surly... This is also very similar to Lin Yunshen... Why do you look at me like that? Ah Well, okay, let's not talk about Lin Yunshen... Originally he was going to be an official, but it is said that he has loved metaphysics since he was a child and wanted to go to the Taoist sect, but he can't be the head of the Chen family if he goes to the Taoist school. After all There is an older brother who is far more famous than him. At that time, Chen Mingyue made friends with a witch from the southwest. It is said that he was called Dao. Love to make friends with him, Chen Mingyue is such a sociable person, so he is naturally regarded as a guest of honor. The two also met each other very late, and often studied Taoism together. It's a pity that this witch has been in Chen's house for a long time. He also became acquainted with Chen Xinghe, the second son of the Chen family. Chen Xinghe pretended to be friends with him, but in the end he had conclusive evidence, and personally reported his brother at the birthday banquet of the old master Chen. This is not bad, so angry The old sect master Chen almost vomited blood and died. This Chen Mingyue came to an end, and finally committed suicide. After his death, the old sect master also mourned too much and died of illness. Chen Qiuling inherited the position of the sect master of the Chen family. "

"The witch who made friends with them is the one you met in Yelang City, called Wu Xingdao?"

Lu Yuanhe shook his head: "I don't know that. Wu Xingdao? Where did you know this name? It seems to be this name. You know that the Chen family is the weakest among the four great Taoist families, and our Lu family does not have much contact with their family. Much, I don't know."

"According to what Mr. Lu said just now, this Chen Qiuling is indeed vicious enough to report his own brother for the sake of being the sect master." Bai Yan said: "It's just a pity for that Mr. Chen."

Lin Yunshen shook his head and said: "This kind of thing is passed on to me, and I passed it on to you, and the taste changes after passing it on. It's really hard to say how much of it is true and how much is false."

Lu Yuanhe laughed when he heard this: "I still have a version of swaying love, do you want to listen to it?"

"Don't stop, lest Bai Yin come back and say that I have taught his nephew badly."

Bai Yu hurriedly said: "Uncle Yang, I'm fine, you can tell me what you want."

Lu Yuanhe patted his knee and said: "A man is not bad, how can anyone love him?" He moved to the edge of the bed, moved closer to the white pheasant, and said rather maliciously: "I heard that the Chen brothers turned against each other. , has something to do with the position of sect master, but it is more related to a person..."

Lin Yunshen asked: "Witches practice?"

"That's right!" The corner of Lu Yuanhe's mouth showed a bit of a smirk: "I heard that there is an unspeakable secret between these three people..."

Bai Yan was at a loss, while Lin Yunshen laughed and said, "Since it's an ulterior secret, how did you know?"

"There is no impenetrable wall in the world," Lu Yuanhe said, "There are rumors that Wu Xingdao and Chen Mingyue had a good relationship back then, to the point where they almost slept together... Tsk tsk tsk, just like that couple. Don't leave. You think this Wu Xingdao is handsome, unrestrained and handsome, whoever looks at such a man is not pleasing to the eye. He has lived in Chen's house for a long time, and this old Chen who bowed his head and didn't see him when he looked up, unexpectedly also loves this brother's Taoist companion I was moved. But he is a couple of gods and gods. You are Chen Qiuling, you are withdrawn and out of gregariousness. How can Wu Xingdao like him? This Chen Qiuling became angry. Since I can't get you, no one else can get it either, so So he borrowed a knife to kill someone and forced his own brother to death. I heard that his leg was seriously injured when he killed his brother. It was very inconvenient to walk, but he had a good face and always used spiritual power to walk in front of people to stop the pain. , I heard that his knees are all broken, and every step he takes is worse than death."

"Then, Chen Qiuling and that witch..." Bai Yan obviously entered the scene, and asked with a frown, "If the rumor is true and he killed his brother, it's even more impossible for that witch to do anything to him, right? ?”

"That's natural! If someone kills your wife and forces you to marry her, are you willing?!"

Bai Yan's face flushed red: "This... what are you talking about?!"

Lu Yuanhe laughed loudly and said, "I'm just making an analogy. That Wu Xingdao disappeared later. Some said he went to live in seclusion, others said he was killed by Chen Qiuling, and others said he was an infatuated species who died for love." Dead. Tsk tsk tsk, this is old news. Now Taoist priests can also marry wives, but such affairs are becoming less and less."

The more Bai Yan heard it, his face became redder. Lu Yuanhe saw that he was shy and awkward, and he was more playful, so he wanted to tease him.Lin Yun watched with a deep smile, kicked him, but didn't stop him.Lu Yuanhe said: "Don't you believe it? You are too young to know, and you follow such an uninspiring uncle. Naturally, this kind of thing is rarely heard. Let me tell you, it turns out that people who practice Taoism are not allowed to get married. All of them are a group of bachelors, a group of men get along day and night, and there are no women, so many sleeve-cutting incidents naturally occurred. Later, sleeve-cutting became popular, and even in the palace, the prince Wuluan fell in love with a counselor in the East Palace. The emperor was so shocked Anger, strictly investigate the matter of cutting sleeves. But people have seven emotions and six desires, how can they be cut off, so the prime minister at that time, Fang Qi, remonstrated, and then allowed Taoist priests to marry wives.

Since then, there have been far fewer Taoist priests with broken sleeves and celibacy, but despite this, there are still many Taoist priests who have not been close to women in their lives, which is quite interesting, such as the celebrity of your Bai family, the court celestial master Bai Chongzhi, You live in seclusion in the mountains, and you have never married a wife when you are nearly fifty years old. You always know this, right? "

This time Bai Yu stood up suddenly, his face flushed and angry: "Don't talk nonsense and slander my Heavenly Master of the Bai family! Otherwise, I will be rude to you!"

Both Lu Yuanhe and Lin Yunshen burst out laughing.Lin Yunshen coughed twice, and said with a smile: "Bai Yu is honest, you still tease him, I think your skin is itchy."
