Female Buddha

Chapter 25 Confrontation
Qingli led the four people from Fahua Temple and followed Wu Qifeng into the main hall of Qing Yunzong.Seeing Qingli coming in, Master Xuanqing, the head of the Qingyun Sect, immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Master Qingli's arrival has made my Qingyun Sect flourish." Qingli is actually younger, but her seniority is the same as that of Qingyun. The head of the sect is a generation.This made True Monarch Xuanqing feel awkward talking to a child of his generation.But fortunately, his city was deep enough to not show it.

Qingli had actually expected this situation.But she figured it out, and she felt that she would not be the most awkward person to interact with the bosses of various sects with the appearance of a girl.As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.But it would be another matter if she was the winner in the comparison.Qingli also smiled and put his hands together and saluted: "Amitabha, it is Qingli's honor to be able to attend the Nascent Soul Ceremony of Zhenjun Liyan. I was delayed due to something on the road, and I'm really sorry for the long wait for your disciples to be received by your sect."

"Where, that's what they should do. I didn't expect the two masters Hengzhen and Hengtong to come. Please sit down quickly. These two are the disciples of the Jingzi generation of Fahua Temple? They have gathered together at a young age, What a proud son of heaven!" Qingxuan warmly greeted the group of Fahua Temple.

Qingli hurriedly said: "These two are novice monks from our temple. The one on the left is Jingwu, and the one on the right is Jingtong. Jingwu practiced closed-mouth meditation. I hope the master will forgive me." Jingwu and Jingtong hurriedly Go forward and salute.Zhenjun Qingxuan also sent Jingwu and Jingtong as gifts.

Then the host and guest sat down and chatted.Qingli asked Wu Qifeng to arrange someone to take Jingwu and Jingtong down to rest.Wu Qifeng called Xiao Yezhan to take the two out, while he stood behind the head of the sect.

Qingli took out a small brocade box from the stored Buddhist beads and said, "This is a congratulatory gift from our sect to Zhenjun Li Yan. Your Zong Zhenjun Li Yan is a master of alchemy, so it must be useful."

This brocade box is really small, the size of Qingli's hand just now.But Qingxuan would not dislike the smallness of the brocade box. He took the brocade box with both hands, and then looked at the gift list on the brocade box—ten thousand-year ginkgo fruits.Qingxuan cheerfully handed the brocade box to Wu Qifeng, the eldest disciple beside him, and said to Qingli, "This is really costing the temple." He couldn't help being happy that the number of broken mirror pills (a high-level elixir that helps high-level monks break through the realm) will increase, and the number of high-level monks in the Zongli will increase again.

When Qingli heard Zhenjun Xuanqing say the word cost, she restrained the twitching of the corner of her mouth with the greatest perseverance, and tried to face the head Xuanqing with a natural smile: "Your Majesty Liyan Zhenjun is a master of alchemy. The ten-thousand-year-old ginkgo fruit can reflect its value in his hands, so it can't be said to be expensive." Qingli kept complaining in her heart, I really can't cultivate well, if I have the thick skin of those old monks in the temple There will be no sense of guilt for deceiving the other party.Sure enough, I still need to strengthen my cultivation.

Just now Zhenjun Xuanqing gave Jingwu and Jingtong a meeting ceremony, but reminded Qingli.She is young now, but her seniority is old, and according to the etiquette, she should give the younger generation a meeting gift.Of course, this refers to the representatives of various sects who came to celebrate.Since Qingli is the representative of the Buddhist sect, she is no exception.

Qingli smiled and said, "I'm young, I don't know what to do, but I forgot the gift I should give to the younger generation. Please don't laugh at me."

Qingli had an innocent and lovely look on her face.However, Xuan Qing only felt a toothache.I remember that hundreds of years ago, he was still the disciple of the previous head.At that time, Qingtan, who became a Buddhist disciple at the age of eight, came to Qingyun Sect as a guest.At that time, Qingtan also looked innocent.As a result, Qing Yunzong suffered a big loss in the allocation of places for the experience in the secret realm because they relaxed their vigilance against Qingtan.Xuan Qing still remembers the look of remorse on his master's face afterwards. More than 100 years later, when his master passed on the headship to him, he did not forget to tell him: "My disciples, please remember that you should not just look at the appearance when you see a Buddhist disciple. Especially if the disciple is a Buddhist or The words of the successor of the Buddha should not be underestimated, and must be treated with caution." Seeing the same expression on Qingli's face as Qingtan's back then, Xuan Qing couldn't help but feel a toothache.

Xuan Qing really wants to say that you don't have to pretend to be naive, you are all fox-like characters, who doesn't know who.It's a pity that he could only endure the constant churning of complaints in his heart.After all, Qingli is only eight years old, and it seems unreasonable to say that she is pretending to be innocent.Xuan Qing took a deep breath and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you forget, the most important thing is that you remember. I know there are many good things in Fahua Temple. Master Qingli can't be stingy."

The smile on Qingli's face remained unchanged: "The poor monk is a monk and doesn't have much to offer. Since it's something to give to the younger generation, how can I just give some external things. This is a peace charm I drew myself. It's very helpful to Ning Shen Jing. Qi, resisting inner demons is still somewhat effective. I hope Master Nephew Wu won’t dislike it.”

Wu Qifeng didn't dare to dislike it, and quickly stepped forward to take it with both hands: "Thank you, Master Uncle Qingli for your kind gift." Since Qingli took the initiative to call him nephew, he can only call him Master Qingli.

Qingli called it that on purpose.It seems that the relationship between the two sects is close, and it also sends a signal to the head of Xuanqing: since our two sects are so close.You are too embarrassed to cheat me again.

Of course Xuanqing heard Qingli's metaphor, and couldn't help but feel aggrieved.Although he was a little dissatisfied with the Buddhist disciples of the Buddhist sect because of that incident back then, he really didn't want to embarrass Qingli too much.After all, he is hundreds of years older than Qingli.Even if the seniority is the same, he is too embarrassed to make things difficult for her.It's just that I feel a little uneasy in my heart, and I always want to take advantage of it and get back some of the benefits I lost in the past.Thinking about the Wannian pine cones and apricot fruits in Fahua Temple, it would be nice if I could ask my apprentice for one.Who knew that this Qingli should not be underestimated as the master said.A simple sentence that can't be perfunctory with foreign objects blocked his unspoken words.Since it is a foreign object, what do you care about as a monk with all four elements empty?Don't eat it if you have the ability.Xuan Qing kept complaining in her heart.

Xuan Qing still had a happy face: "Feng'er showed the peace talisman to my teacher. You know that there are not many treasures in the world of practice that can help people resist the demons in their hearts. The peace talisman drawn by the eminent monks of Fahua Temple is one of them. Master Qingli, as the next disciple of the Buddha, must have profound Dharma. I can see this peace talisman from your hand. It must be very effective."

Xuanqing thinks that Qingli is deliberately perfunctory to her apprentice, so she wants to use actions to expose Qingli's hypocrisy.Unexpectedly, he took the peace talisman and took a look. This is not the effect of the peace talisman drawn by the Buddhist monks in the Juyuan period.It is clearly comparable to the efficacy of the peace talisman drawn by eminent monks in the early stage of Liqiao.Xuan Qingke would not think that Qingli used the safety talisman drawn by others to make up for it.After all, although people in the Buddhist sect are a little cunning, they will never lie.Looking at the introverted Buddha's light of the peace talisman in his hand, he felt clear in his mind when he touched it.Xuan Qing felt his face hurt a little.I feel like he is judging a gentleman with a villain's heart.This little master Qingli is really different from Qingtan, at least she is much more kind and lovely.

Qingli said at this time: "The poor monk has just been promoted to Juyuan not long ago, so he didn't draw a new talisman. This was drawn when I was practicing the Great Perfection of Qi, and the effectiveness may be a little less. Please forgive me, my nephew."

A little less effective?Are you sure you're not showing off?Xuan Qing immediately overturned all her thoughts about Qingli changing her mind in her heart.This Qingli is worthy of being the next Buddhist disciple, and she is as cunning and hateful as Qingtan.He must have lost his head just now when he thought she was cute and kind.

Xuan Qing has a bad sense of Qingli, but she still likes good things.He handed the talisman to Wu Qifeng, and said: "The talisman given to you by Uncle Qingli is a good thing. It can even catch up with the talisman drawn by the eminent monk during the leaving period. You have to carry it with you, right?" It's good for your state of mind to advance." Wu Qifeng immediately took the peace charm respectfully, hung it carefully around his neck, and hid it in his clothes.Then he thanked Qingli again.

Xuan Qing said to Qingli again: "Since Junior Sister Qingli is called Nephew Feng'er. Look, you still have quite a few nephews. You can't favor one over another."

Wu Qifeng looked at the master in surprise.Ever since I met Master Qingli of the Buddha Sect, something seemed wrong with my master.Now he directly asks for the disciple's meeting gift.Master, where is the face of you and the Qingyun Sect?Wu Qifeng shouted in his heart.

In Xuan Qing's view, you can't be shameless when dealing with the Buddha Sect, otherwise you will be taken advantage of by those even more shameless people.Besides, face is worth nothing in front of treasures.As the head of the Qingyun Sect, it is important to seek the welfare of the disciples.So Xuan Qing is a good leader.He knows the Buddhist sect or the group of people in Fahua Temple very well.

Qingli felt that she had not fallen behind in the invisible confrontation with the head of Xuan Qing today.She has already appeared in front of the head of the Qingyun Sect as the next Buddhist disciple, and she has not weakened the momentum of the Buddha Sect.Now that the main goal has been achieved, those sweet benefits still have to be given.After all, both sects are major sects in the world of cultivation.Once the Demon Sect provokes a war, they will all cooperate sincerely.There is no need to sour the relationship.Besides, she drew a lot of peace charms, but if she gave them too many, she wouldn't care about them anymore.She had to watch how much she gave out.

Qingli took out a small brocade box and handed it over: "There are twenty peace talismans in it. Please ask my nephew Wu to give them to the other nephews."

Wu Qifeng took it with both hands respectfully: "Thank you for your kindness, uncle."

Xuan Qing was also satisfied at this time.Less than an hour after the two parties met, Xuan Qing felt tired. Sure enough, it would be better to have less contact with people from the Buddha Sect.Xuan Qing said to Qingli: "It's been a long journey for the three masters. Why don't we go to the guest room to rest for a while. Let's get together again after the ceremony tomorrow. How about that?"

Qingli smiled and said: "Amitabha, thank you Xuanqing for your kindness, then I will take my leave first."

Wu Qifeng immediately came over and led Qingli to the guest room.Walking out of the main hall, Qingli turned her head to look at Hengzhen and Hengtong, and said in her eyes: How did I behave just now?Hengtong and Hengzhen immediately gave their thumbs up: Uncle Master did a great job.

In the main hall, Xuan Qing, who was using his spiritual consciousness to look outside the door, almost had his nose twisted in anger.As expected, Buddhist practitioners, especially Buddhist practitioners at Fahua Temple, are the most annoying.
