Ren Yongzheng was the first to answer, and he started to sigh: "This matter is indeed due to the poor teaching of our Ren family."

As soon as he spoke, Ren Yongyang's already gloomy expression, sitting next to him, suddenly became even more depressed and ugly.

However, Ren Yongyang had no intention of stopping Ren Yongzheng.

Apparently they had indeed discussed it before deciding to attend the dinner.

Mr. Cui took the words and said with a sigh: "Oh, Ren Er, I know that you are a person who talks about right and wrong, so your father can rest assured to let you handle all matters in Yanjing."

"And Ren Da, that boy from your Tongli family hasn't woken up yet?"

Ren Yongyang then spoke, his voice hard and full of vicissitudes of life: "Yes, I haven't woken up yet."

"Alas. This child..." Mr. Cui sighed again, with a worried expression on his face just like an ordinary elder who cares about his younger generation.

But after saying the above, his eyes turned from here to Xuan Xia and the others almost in the next second, and fell on Daozhang Qin.

"Taoist Master Qin, I will definitely give an explanation for this matter. But..."

"Look, the food is here. Let's eat it first. Now, I'm really old, and I'm not as hungry as I used to be."

Mr. Cui is using his age to show weakness. Of course Taoist Qin has to respect and love his elders, so how can he really talk when he is hungry.

So Daochang Qin smiled slightly and said, "I don't dare." He gestured to Mr. Cui.

Mr. Cui looked satisfied, moved his chopsticks, and asked everyone to move their chopsticks too.

But not everyone can eat it.

Looking over from Xuan Xia's side, one could see two bitter faces that couldn't eat anything.

One is of course Ren Yongyang.

This is probably because his unfilial son Ren Tongli is still awake.

Xuan Xia also didn't understand. Ren Tongli had just eaten the claw of the old man in the evil scene and a few thunder spells from her. It wasn't a fatal injury. How could he still not wake up?

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't wake up, he does such inhuman things, and even if he wakes up, he will be beaten until he is unconscious again.

As for the other one, it seems to be Mr. Cui’s eldest son.

That is Cui Chengzhi’s father.

His son was not unconscious, and he was looking sad anyway.

Xuan Xia could only guess that he was probably so angry that he couldn't eat because he had such a stupid son who didn't live up to expectations.

……

Mr. Cui was used to being the head of the family. After eating a few mouthfuls of vegetables, he couldn't help but start to dominate the conversation.

Among the people at this table, the one he knew the least about was Xuan Xia.

Mr. Cui then asked Xuan Xia: "At the beginning, I only heard Mr. Xuan mention that he had such a great-great-granddaughter, but I didn't know the specific name. Girl, what is your name?"

"Xuan Xia."

"Oh yes……"

"Summer of summer." Xuan Xia knew what word he wanted to ask, so he had already answered it before he asked.

"Oh." Mr. Cui nodded, "Di from the north, raccoon dogs from the northeast, Man Min from the south, Qiang from the west, Jiao Hoi from the southwest, and Yi from the east. Xia are people from China."

Xuan Xia smiled.

This is indeed what is noted in Shuo Wen Jie Zi.

"Is Xia Yatou now inheriting Laodao Xuan's mantle?"

Mantle? Become a monk and become a Taoist priest? Xuan Xia immediately shook his head, "No. The mantle... will be inherited by Taoist Master Qin."

Taoist priest Qin smiled when he heard this, but he didn't expect Xuan Xia to take him with him when he answered the question.

"Oh." Mr. Cui nodded thoughtfully and changed the question, "Are you living in Yanjing now?"

Why do you ask?

Xuan Xia glanced at Daozhang Qin first, and then replied: "That's right."

"Then you can come to your home more and walk around more in the future." Mr. Cui pointed to the people around him, "You young people should also get to know each other more."

Cui Chenglou, who was pointed out, looked over.

Xuan Xia also looked over.

"..."

Xuan Xia felt that Cui Chenglou didn't seem to want to know more about him.

Mr. Cui probably noticed this, and immediately called to his grandson: "Chenglou, you..."

"Mr. Cui." Taoist Master Qin did not give Mr. Cui a chance to continue.

Thinking that Mr. Cui was no longer hungry, Taoist Master Qin brought the topic back to the topic.

At this time, Xuan Xia also saw that Mr. Cui really didn't dare, or he didn't want to offend Taoist Qin.

After coming to this conclusion, Xuan Xia looked at Daozhang Qin again with admiration in his eyes.

Taoist Master Qin really gave them the Longevity Watch!

Mr. Cui coughed twice, pondered for a moment and said: "Ren Er has just said that this matter is indeed the fault of that boy Tongli. I was also shocked. I didn't expect that boy to act so confused. And Cheng Zhi Cheng Jin Those two boys are also at fault, and I won’t defend them.”

"I have already told the old man of the Ren family that the boy Tongli will be banned from the rankings for five years starting from tomorrow. At the same time, within these five years, he will not be allowed to engage in related matters as a member of the Xuanmen. Moreover, this You are not allowed to appear in Yanjing City for five years."

"As for the kid Cheng Zhi, the same goes for him. Even though he is an accomplice, he will be treated as the principal criminal and will be banned for five years. Within five years, he will not be allowed to participate in Xuanmen matters. At the same time, I will also send him to retreat elsewhere to reflect on his mistakes. And Cheng Jin , he participated the least, so he was named for three years as a warning to others."

After finishing speaking in one breath, Mr. Cui asked Taoist Qin: "What does Taoist Qin think of this approach?"

Taoist Master Qin was noncommittal and looked at Qu Xingxuan, "Let's ask the suffering master what he wants. Qu Xingxuan, do you think you are satisfied with the punishment given by Mr. Cui?"

Qu Xingxuan suddenly became the center of attention, which made him feel awkward.

Xuan Xia didn't know whether Mr. Cui's five-year expulsion and ban from business was a severe punishment for Xuanmen people like them, so he could only wait to hear what Qu Xingxuan wanted.

When Mr. Cui saw that Qu Xingxuan was silent, he spoke again: "Xingxuan boy, you don't have to have any scruples. Just say whatever you think. If you feel that the punishment is not enough and you can't swallow your anger, just say it. We, the elders, It will definitely satisfy you.”

Qu Xingxuan subconsciously looked at his master.

Yuan Zhongshu glanced back, but said nothing, just waiting for him to make his own decision.

Qu Xingxuan couldn't help scratching his head out of habit and said hesitantly: "Then let's do it."

"Okay, okay, let's do it as it is." Mr. Cui was afraid that Qu Xingxuan would regret it, so he quickly made the decision.

Yuan Zhongshu frowned slightly.

The atmosphere at the table suddenly changed.

The two brothers of the Ren family and the eldest son of the Cui family all had the word "mourning" written on their faces.

Ren Tongli and Cui Chengzhi took Qu Xingxuan to the evil scene, and this result is the final conclusion.

But the mountain mirage is not a mountain mirage thing, but it was not mentioned at this dinner party.

Xuan Xia didn't know whether it was tacitly understood or whether everyone had already reached a conclusion.

After the dinner was over, she asked Taoist Master Qin and found out that it was a tacit agreement not to mention it.

The Cui and Ren families didn't want outsiders to know, so Taoist Qin and the others just pretended to be confused.

Everyone has their own plans.

"This matter ends here. Don't mention the mountain mirage again. Especially..."

"Especially in front of Cui and Ren's family?" Qin Dao didn't finish his long words, and Xuan Xia took over spontaneously. Daochang Qin paused, then smiled and nodded appreciatively: "Yes."

Xuan Xia said: "Okay, I understand."

"Ah."

"By the way, is the punishment of being banned from business for five years considered a severe punishment?" Xuan Xia remembered and asked.

Daochang Qin pondered for a moment, "Put yourself in my shoes. Your agency has hidden you for five years. In five years, you have no job. What do you think?"

Xuan Xia didn't even think about it, "Five years? I found another job in the first year."

Taoist priest Qin couldn't help laughing.

"Well, five years is indeed a long time." Xuan Xia thought seriously before answering.

Daochang Qin said "Yes", but said: "For ordinary people, five years is a huge change, and it is indeed a harsh punishment. But for the Cui and Ren family, it may not be too difficult. It depends on how you understand it. ”

Xuan Xia can understand it. With a big family behind him, it will certainly not be too difficult.

While talking, the community where Xuan Xia lives arrived.

When they said goodbye to each other, Taoist Master Qin reminded her: "Don't forget it the day after tomorrow."

Xuan Xia also remembered his reminder, "After the day after tomorrow, you can go back to Ningzhou."

Daochang Qin said an ambiguous "Huh".
-

The day was decided to go to Qinghui Temple.

Xuan Xia thought that since he was going to the Taoist temple to worship at the top of the mountain, he didn't dress up deliberately and set off with Taoist Master Qin almost without makeup.

Qinghui Temple is located on Qingfeng Mountain in the western suburbs of Yanjing City. The entire mountain has been planned as a scenic spot, and the main attraction is Qinghui Temple.

Of course you have to buy a ticket to enter the scenic spot, but Taoist Master Qin doesn't need to because he has a certificate!

Xuan Xia couldn't tell whether he was envious or not.

Fortunately, she was not the only one in the group who needed to buy tickets, Li Xinze and the others also had to buy tickets.

When checking in to enter the mountain, Xuan Xia discovered that there were so many people going up the mountain!

And many of them are not just tourists. Like Taoist Master Qin, they are dressed as Taoist priests with complete equipment.

She didn't understand it at first, but she didn't know until she reached the mountain that Qinghui Temple was going to hold a blessing ceremony to "pray to put out disasters" today.

Every summer, floods occur in many areas around Yanjing City. Qinghui Temple, as the first temple in Yanjing City, must hold such a blessing ceremony every year.

Buddhist temples also hold blessing ceremonies, but Xuan Xia is unlikely to attend.

Those who came to attend the Dharma conference today include not only believers and ordinary tourists, but also Taoist priests from other temples specially invited by Qinghui Temple.

After knowing what happened, Xuan Xia immediately asked Taoist Qin: "Did Qinghui Temple invite us? Or are we considered good believers and tourists?"

Just after asking, Li Xinze took out an invitation from his body and handed it over.

Xuan Xia took the invitation and opened it to read the contents. It was an invitation to participate in the Dharma conference.

The invited units still filled in the view of longevity.

Xuan Xia murmured: "We are a Taoist temple in Ningzhou, and we came to Yanjing to participate in the blessing ceremony. Wouldn't the local Taoist association in Ningzhou have any objections?"

She will never forget that when she wanted Taoist Master Qin to be the temple master, Uncle Zhong said that the local Taoist Association would not agree.

Therefore, in Xuan Xia's mind, although he has never dealt with the Ningzhou Taoist Association, the Ningzhou Taoist Association is a relatively strict existence.

Taoist priest Qin explained with a smile: "There are friendly exchanges between palaces and temples, and the Taoist Association will not have any objections."

That's good.

However, the participation mentioned in the invitation letter does not mean participating in the ceremony, but only an invitation to observe the ceremony.

But just to watch the ceremony, those who are invited and those who come spontaneously are treated differently.

Not only will the person invited to watch the ceremony be seated near the front, but he will also be on camera.

Yes, today’s Dharma conference will not only have news footage, but it will also be broadcast live online.

After knowing that there was a live broadcast, Xuan Xia regretted coming without dressing up.

She is also a female star after all!

She can't appear beautiful in the camera, so she should be asked to dress up in a Taoist robe according to the scenic spot.

Now, she is standing among a group of Taoist priests in casual clothes. Can you see her?

Isn't it obtrusive?

"Dao Zhang Qin, you did it on purpose!" Xuan Xia looked at the camera not far away and couldn't help but complain.

Daochang Qin looked at her in confusion.

Xuan Xia said no more because the ceremony started.

……

The master who presided over today's blessing ceremony was none other than Chang Zhendong, the patron of Qinghui Temple.

Xuan Xia was not familiar with this person, but Taoist Master Qin introduced him to her on the spot.

During the introduction, the Taoist priests standing on both sides of the two people cast glances from time to time, probably because they did not expect that there were people who were not familiar with Chang Guanzhu.

If you are not familiar with Chang Guanzhu, how can you be so embarrassed to stand in this position?

However, Xuan Xia's outfit is enough to make people suspect that she came through the back door.

Just like in the live broadcast room where the ritual is being broadcast live at the moment.

In the barrage of online believers following Gao Gongchang Zhendong Qi's homework, bits and pieces of unrelated barrage content suddenly appeared.

[Why is there someone in the first row who doesn’t fit in? Shouldn't the first row all be Taoist priests? 】

[Do Taoist priests also have lay disciples? 】

[What Taoist priest? Isn't that a star? Who is this? 】

[Ah, yes, yes, I remembered, this is not the Xuan Xia! 】

【Xuan Xia? who? 】

[Why do celebrities come here to join in the fun, and are they here to create characters and draft drafts? 】

[An unrelated person comes into such a serious ceremony. It’s really a waste of time. 】

【…】

This irrelevant barrage did not attract the participation of believers on the Internet, and was quickly covered up by the barrage of scripture content.

The netizen who sent the barrage also understood this and quickly moved the discussion location.

Not long after, something new happened in the bustling melon field.

[Content: Friends, please go to the live broadcast room of Qinghui Temple to pray for blessings and rituals. Wow, celebrities are actually participating. You must have never imagined this star! My eyes were opened. Celebrities also participated in such rituals. What did you think? Should she donate money or help chant sutras? ]

"When I came back after watching it, which one, why didn't I see which star? But there is one person who is really different from the people around him."

"I quickly looked around and saw that the melon owner was talking about Xuan Xia, right?"

"I was too lazy to look, but I searched and already knew who it was. It's Xuan Xia from Summer Love."

"Is it really her? It doesn't look like the show. I thought I made a mistake."

"Going back upstairs, of course it doesn't look like her. She has no makeup on today, she is bare-faced! But she is a beauty after all, and she is very resistant even without makeup."

"Don't go off topic. Why is she, an 18th-tier starlet, going to participate in a religious ceremony? And there are no other celebrities participating, she is the only one. Isn't she embarrassed?"

"I said, what are you all so upset about? Didn't she herself say long ago that her family has a Taoist temple. Isn't it normal for her to attend rituals?"

"She has a Taoist temple at home???"

I have been ill for a week now, and I feel like I am trying to survive every day. I think it’s time for me to talk about some metaphysics.
