Big dreamer

"Caizhu was accepted as a disciple by Immortal Master Putuo Mountain back then. I thought it would take longer before I would have the opportunity to come here, but I didn't expect that she would come here now." Shen Luo recalled what happened that year and felt a little sad. said.

"Good boy, when we meet again after a long separation, you want to give him a hairpin as a gift? Since he is a monk, why can't you give him a magic weapon as a gift?" Bai Xiaotian patted him on the shoulder and said.

"What matters is the intention, not whether the gift is valuable or not. Besides, I don't know what skills Caizhu is practicing now. Even if she wants to give a magic weapon, it must be compatible with her." Shen Luo grinned, said.

While talking, he finally picked out a plum blossom hairpin that was quite delicate in workmanship. After paying the money, he packed it in a delicate wooden box and put it away. .

"It was said earlier that Mount Putuo would send disciples to pick up the attendees, but I don't know where exactly they were?" Shen Luo asked after standing up.

"Putuo Mountain is an overseas fairy mountain in the South China Sea. In the final analysis, it is actually a large island. There are eighteen affiliated small islands on its periphery. In the past, reception was conducted on Xingzi Island among them. , I think this year will be no different." Bai Xiaotian thought for a while and said.

"In that case, let's go directly to Xingzi Island first." Shen Luo said.

Bai Xiaotian nodded, and the two of them immediately came to a deserted beach, each wielding a flying sword, which turned into two rainbow lights and flew away one after the other.

It's midsummer right now, the sky is cloudless and blue, and the breeze is blowing on the sea, causing waves to ripple.

Shen Luo and the two flew for hundreds of miles, passing many large and small islands and reefs along the way, but they never saw any trace of Mount Putuo.

"Xiaotian, is there anything wrong with the direction you are leading? Why can't you see the shadow of Mount Putuo?" Shen Luo looked at the vast sea in front of him and asked suspiciously.

"After all, Putuo Mountain is also an important place for Buddhism. It is the practice site of Guanyin Bodhisattva. It can't be found so easily. Do you remember the Shibazi Island I told you before? It is also a formation in itself, guarding outside the main island. , can form a covering circle, and those who don't know the way will only walk around the island and cannot enter it," Bai Xiaotian said with a smile.

"Having said all that, are you able to find the location of the sect?" Shen Luo asked.

"That's natural. The temple has given me a token before I came here. With this thing as a guide, how could I not find it?" Bai Xiaotian said, raising his arm.

There is a red silk thread tied to his wrist, with a fish-shaped talisman in his mouth. It is floating against the wind at the moment, with the fish tail pointing to the southwest and swaying slightly.

No matter how Bai Xiaotian moved his arms, the floating fish-shaped talisman and its tail always pointed in that direction and refused to change.

"Why didn't the Imperial Master give it to me if you had this letter talisman?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.

"Our Shenghua Temple and Mount Putuo both belong to the Buddhist sect, so we are much closer to each other than your Tang government." Bai Xiaotian rolled his eyes at him, as if it was a matter of course.

"That's right... Haha, lead the way." Hearing this, Shen Luo smiled and nodded.

"Okay." Bai Xiaotian responded and continued to fly in the direction indicated by the talisman.

About half an hour later, on the sea not far away, a gray-white island with a radius of only a few hundred feet appeared. There were sparse trees on it, and a thatched house built on it could be vaguely seen.

When Shen Luo and the two flew closer, the fish-shaped talisman that had been flying suddenly fell down.

"We're here." Bai Xiaotian's eyes lit up and he said.

"Is this here?" Shen Luo glanced at it and felt a little surprised.

But when he scanned the island with his spiritual consciousness, he soon discovered that something was unusual. His spiritual consciousness could not penetrate the seemingly inconspicuous thatched house.

At this moment, there suddenly was a man and a woman in the thatched house, and two figures came out.

The moment they saw Shen Luo and Shen Luo, the expressions of the man and woman changed at the same time, but they were completely the same.

The woman among them didn't have any smile at first, but when her eyes fell on Shen Luo's face, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, while the man who originally had a smile on his lips, now his face darkened, and his whole face Everything went dark.

"Oh, what a coincidence, you are the ones responsible for the reception." Shen Luo said a little surprised.

It turns out that the man and woman were none other than Li Shu and Wu Ming, the nineteenth princesses of the Tang Dynasty.

"Brother Shen, why are you here... Could it be that you are also here to attend the Fairy Apricot Conference?" Li Shu said in surprise.

Since the last incident involving the Jinghe Dragon King, Li Shu's admiration for Shen Luo and Lu Huaming, two peers, has been as endless as the waves of the river. Seeing each other now feels even more cordial.

Wu Ming on the side looked more and more unhappy, and the fists in his sleeves clenched tightly unconsciously.

"It was the Imperial Master who gave me special permission to represent the Tang Dynasty government in this conference." Shen Luo didn't pay much attention to this and said with a smile.

Bai Xiaotian frowned at the side for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Shen Luo, this is not the cousin Caizhu you mentioned, your fiancée? Then should I call you sister-in-law?"

"Don't talk nonsense, this is our Tang Emperor's nineteenth princess." Shen Luo said quickly.

"Who is this?" Li Shu looked at Bai Xiaotian and asked with some confusion.

"It turns out it's Your Highness the Princess, and I'm Bai Xiaotian, who is attending the meeting from Huasheng Temple." Bai Xiaotian had long seen that Wu Ming looked at Shen Luo with unkind eyes, so he deliberately ignored him and even looked at him. Didn't even bother to take a look.

"Fellow Daoist Bai is a senior fellow of Huasheng Temple. We are both disciples of the Zen sect, so we can be considered half of the same sect." Li Shu cupped her fists towards Bai Xiaotian and said with a smile.

"Junior sister Li has such a temperament, she really doesn't look like she comes from the royal family. I like it. From now on, just call me Brother Bai or Big Brother Bai. No need to say whether you are a fellow Taoist or not, haha..." Bai Xiaotian is quite familiar. temperament, said with a smile.

"Okay. What is the cousin Caizhu that Senior Brother Bai was talking about just now? Is Brother Shen already married?" Li Shuxiao asked.

"That is……"

"You guy, stop gossiping and do business first." Bai Xiaotian was about to speak but was interrupted by Shen Luo.

"Yes." Bai Xiaotian smiled coquettishly.

After that, the two of them took out the certificates and tokens and handed them to Li Shu for inspection.

"There's nothing wrong with the stuff. Just follow me to the door to register." Wu Ming, who had been left alone, took it first, checked it carefully, and said.

"Brother Wu, how about I lead Brother Shen and the others there?" Li Shu said.

"Junior sister, don't you still have to wait here for Fellow Daoist Liu Qing? Leave this little matter to me. Don't worry, I will make sure to arrange your two brothers properly. How about that?" Wu Ming He promised while patting his chest.

Li Shu glanced at the sea and sky in the distance, with a look of hesitation on her face.
