Chapter 213 Lotus Tower (16)
After seeing him sitting down, Li Xiangyi asked, "Why are you here instead of going home?"
The other party replied nonchalantly, "Of course, I am here to attend the Ascension Ceremony of the Lingshan Sect's leader. Oh, and by the way, I want to watch the ceremony of selecting a spiritual child."
Li Xiangyi frowned, with a hint of confusion and anger in his tone: "What happened in the past ten years to make these people so stupid that they blindly believe what others say.
And you, stop wasting time here and go home quickly. The head of the Lingshan Sect has long passed away, and the so-called Ascension Ceremony is just an excuse to deceive the world. There is no real way to become an immortal in this world, all of this is a false illusion. "
"You just entered the city and haven't even gone to check the situation. How can you be sure that the leader of the Lingshan Sect is dead?" Fang Duobing retorted.
"Uh..." Li Xiangyi was suddenly speechless, and then said: "Of course I calculated it."
"Humph, then you are clearly deceiving me! Anyway, I will not be fooled and go home obediently. I still want to go and watch. Even if he is dead, I will find out how he died. And I must go to Baichuan Courtyard to prove it to my parents!" Fang Duobing said stubbornly.
Hearing this, Li Xiangyi sighed helplessly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and chuckled "Heh..." But he didn't say anything more.
Ji Xiao looked at Li Xiangyi, who was full of anger, and her heart softened. She reached out and gently held his hand. She picked up a piece of dried peach from the plate and put it to his lips, saying softly, "Okay, don't be angry. He is just a child who doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. What can he understand? If you are really too angry to bear it, let's go to the so-called Baichuan Courtyard and settle the score with them. What do you say?"
Li Xiangyi chewed the sweet and delicious dried peach meat, nodded vigorously, and responded incoherently: "Yeah, okay! Anyway, those old accounts must be settled no matter what, but I don't know where Shan Gudao is hiding now?"
"It doesn't matter. After we get our revenge at Baichuanyuan, I'll count with my fingers to see where he is exactly, and then we can go find him together."
"Well, actually I was planning to talk about it later."
Ji Xiao slowly stood up and moved to sit next to Li Xiangyi, pressing her forehead against his. At the same time, she stretched out her hands, gently cupped his cheeks, and said softly, "I understand everything. Since you came down the mountain, you have wanted to find his whereabouts, but you temporarily put this plan on hold because of my concerns."
"Xiao Xiao, I feel really bad. Could it be that Master, Master's Wife, and I haven't treated him well enough? Why would he do such a thing?"
"It's not that you treated him badly, it's just that he is evil by nature and it's hard to change. You are too good as a fellow apprentice, and mainly because you trust him too much, so his jealousy quickly grew, which led to all this that happened later. If we don't curb it soon, I'm afraid that his greed that doesn't match his virtue will bring disaster to the people."
"Well, you have a point."
At this moment, Fang Duobing, who was listening to the conversation between the two, was struck by lightning and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean? Shan Gudao is my uncle, why are you looking for him? Why do you say he is a born bad guy?"
"Of course it is Shan Gudao. Besides, why do you think he is really your uncle?"
"Of course it's because he has a jade pendant that can prove his identity!"
"Then the jade pendant must be his? It can't be something he picked up, stole, or someone asked him to keep it for him?"
"Uh...my mom told me."
"If that's the case, then your mother must be sure that he is real? Just based on a jade pendant? Hehe..."
"Okay, don't get angry about these things anymore. It's really not worth it. It hurts me if you get angry. You should know that I used a lot of good medicine to make you better!
Now let's go out for a walk and see if there is anything delicious to try here." As she said this, she pulled Li Xiangyi up, then took his arm and walked out the door.
"Yeah." Li Xiangyi nodded in agreement. Then he walked out with Ji Xiao pulling him. When he reached the door, he turned around and looked at Fang Duobing who was still sitting there. They didn't seem to want to care about him, but simply reminded him: "Don't forget to lock the door when you go out."
"Oh." Fang Duobing responded casually, looking ahead with a dull look.
After Li Xiangyi and the other man left, he sat in the room silently for a while, unable to calm down for a long time. What he heard today was simply unbelievable to him, and he still hadn't recovered from it.
However, even so, Fang Duobing did not give up the idea of going to Lingshan Sect. He took a deep breath, stood up, and walked straight into the tea shed. There, Li'er had been waiting for a long time. Fang Duobing asked her to take her luggage, and then the two of them set out on the road to Lingshan Sect together.
When Li Xiangyi and Ji Xiao came back from their visit, they found that Fang Duobing had already left. They knew that he had not given up his plan to go to Lingshan Sect. After that, they stopped caring about him.
Fang Duobing and Li'er traveled all the way and finally arrived at Lingshan Sect. At this time, Lingshan Sect was decorated with lights and was very lively. The disciples of the sect were busy entertaining the people who came to watch the ceremony. Fang Duobing looked around excitedly, while Li'er followed him quietly.
In the crowd, Fang Duobing saw a familiar figure, it was his uncle Shan Gudao, who was having a pleasant conversation with the leaders of other sects.
Even though he knew from Li Xiangyi that Shan Gudao might not be his uncle, he chose to believe that he was real before getting definite information. So when he saw him, Fang Duobing ran over and shouted, "Uncle!"
Shan Gudao turned around and was surprised when he saw Fang Duobing. He looked Fang Duobing up and down, then smiled and said, "It's you, Duobing. Why are you here?"
Fang Duobing excitedly held Shan Gudao's hand and said, "Uncle, I finally found you! I knew you would come."
A hint of subtle cunning flashed across Shan Gudao's eyes. He patted Fang Duobing on the shoulder and said, "What a good kid. Now that you're here, have fun for a few days."
Fang Duobing nodded happily, not noticing Shan Gudao's strange behavior. He took Li'er and followed Shan Gudao into the hall of Lingshan Sect. There, a grand ceremony of ascension to immortality was about to begin...
Even though he knew that this ascension ceremony might be fake, Fang Duobing still wanted to see why they did this.
