The lush green trees in the grove were the sa mist drifted slowly across the forest, branches and tree leaves everywhere, above the wild flowers petals in the grasses, crystal dewdrops treently in the breeze In the distance,travelled out fro it, it cleared one’s body and heart, like being in paradise
In this secular scenic place, Taoisure slowly appeared on the s scenery seerave expression, his eyes staring straight ahead, his face reflecting his heavy heart At this le soul beside hi Baures of Qing Yun sect, but visiting TongTian Peak’s sacred Founders Ancestral Hall privately given his status, it was also clearly strange
Along thewatch, there was only silence along the way Ah that faradually saw the ht bell sounded from an unknown location, fro Yun Hill
That hollow fading echo made Tian BuYi stopped in his tracks, turned back and surveyed the scene
The firmament, the sky was also limitless blue!
Thousands and thousands of years, as if it had never changed
Tian BuYi’s face gradually turned sole back and continued on his journey to Founders Ancestral Hall once more
The massive stone steps revealed in front of hiiant sleeping gently in the ar doors remained opened as before, the interior still dusky, even the specks of light e from the joss sticks and candles see, was so peaceful
Only that, outside this Founders Ancestral Hall, at the botto man with his back to Tian BuYi Tian BuYi frowned and walked over
Hearing the footsteps, the younganyone to visit at this time He turned around quickly
Tian BuYi ca Yu
Tian BuYi immediately called to mind the previous conversations he heard fro watch here in Founders Ancestral Hall It was said that he was keeping vigil for someone, but as to who that “someone” was, no one seemed to knoever, Tian BuYi was not in the mood at present to ponder over this The two of theood terms, and as they looked at each other, they did not speak immediately, the athed once and asked in a low voice, “Tian teacher uncle, why are you here at such an early hour?”
Tian BuYi glanced at hiaze to the darkness of the Founders Ancestral Hall, and said, “I a outside the hall so early in the htly, and a trace of bitter slanced at the Founders Ancestral Hall, and did not answer
Tian BuYi asked lightly, “Is there soYu nodded and said, “Yes, sect head teacher uncle is in the main hall… He ordered Tian Peak disciple is allowed to enter”
Tian BuYi snorted and asked coldly, “I re Shou Valley branch’s disciple, why did you coTian Peak here and instead look after the branch for DaoXuan senior brother?”
Lin JingYu turned white, his head hung low and did not speak
Tian BuYi ignored hi and strided, stepped up the stairs
Lin JingYu was surprised, hurried forward and said, “Tian teacher uncle, what are you doing?”
Tian BuYi said indifferently, “I ca to discuss soYu frowned and said, “Tian teacher uncle, sect head teacher uncle said that he did not want to see anyone, without his perTian Peak”
“I aTian Peak!” Tian BuYi interrupted Lin JingYu coldly
Lin JingYu stopped, momentarilymore, walked up the stone steps and towards the hall
Lin JingYu jerked, as if he still wanted to block Tian BuYi but then he stopped, stared at that short and stout figure, his eyes glih threshold, a faint se shadows froht light fro Founders Ancestral Hall
Tian BuYi stood in place for ahis way slowly into the depths of the hall His footsteps unhurried, his expression slowly changing
Ihout the hall, supporting thedown fro draped quietly beside the pillars,yellow revealed out a feeling of vicissitudes of life
It was as if the past was frozen here
The hall was very quiet, there was al into the shadows
Behind the huge altar table in the distance, nuht specks froe andin the shadows of the hall
Turning past the thickest pillar in the hall, walking past the hanging yellow banners, Tian BuYi finally stopped
There was an open space in front of hiround, each row seven ure sat, un In front of the s of fruits In the ely, there was only three joss sticks, their s the table, in the heavy darkness behind the table, the countless spiritual tablets could be vaguely seen, each of which sees, properly written on the tablets in the shadows
Tian BuYi’s expression, slowly beca the ancestors of Qing Yun sect, his eyes first rested for a ure, and then quietly walked up
Reverend Dao Xuan’s body, slightly moved, but did not look back
Tian BuYi sloalked to the altar table, looked at the numerous tablets shrouded in the shadows, inhaled deeply, and then from the incense pack next to the incense burner, took out three thin incenses out, carefully lighted the three chi before the altar, respectfully held the incenses and bowed three times
Where Reverend DaoXuan sat, was only six chi froht ahead, seemed unable to illuminate where he was In the diure, stood back facing hihost fires of the netherworld, [wu] leapt up, two bright glints instantly shone And al through the hall, all of the incenses and candles, other than Tian BuYi’s ones, all brightened up
Tian BuYi right now had finished his prayers, stepped up and was about to insert the sticks into the burner but his body suddenly stopped, even the hand holding the incense, also paused in the air
Inside the hall, instantly fell into a dead silence, two figures, one standing one sitting, as if frozen, motionless The distant yellow curtains, for soently fluttered a few tiYu was frowning and pondering but suddenly sensing so, abruptly looked up, looked over at the silent and dim hall, a faint surprise on his face
In the confusion, the hall which had been in slu awaken, coldly opened its eyes
And for an unknown ahost fires in Reverend DaoXuan’s eyes suddenly disappeared, it appeared and disappeared suddenly Follohich the eyes slowly closed, the malevolent atradually lost their brightness, resuhts
The incenses in Tian BuYi’s hands continued to burn with its s in spirals, the three lit thin incenses were faintly discernible in the dark Just that when the thin sticks trembled, white ash like white cotton fell softly onto Tian BuYi’s hand
