Chapter 156 4 Sheng Ming is dissatisfied
A moment later, Luo Shu arrived above the Four Sacred Caves on Jiulong Island.
He looked down and saw that the cave was located in a green forest, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
In front of the cave entrance, there are four huge stone pillars with lifelike dragon patterns carved on them, which look solemn and mysterious.
Luo Shu floated in the air, took a deep breath, and then slowly descended.
Luo Shu took a step forward and said loudly into the cave:
"My nephew Luo Shu has come to visit my four uncles."
His voice was loud and clear, echoing in the mountains and forests for a long time.
Inside the cave, the originally quiet atmosphere was broken by the sound coming from outside the cave.
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Four Saints of Jiulong Island and Shen Gongbao at the same time.
Shen Gongbao thought to himself:
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect that my nephew Luo Shu and I would arrive at the cave of the Four Saints of Jiulong Island on the same day. It's really fate."
The Four Saints of Jiulong Island - Wang Mo, Yang Sen, Gao Youqian and Li Xingba - looked at each other with some confusion on their faces.
The four of them naturally knew about Luoshu.
As a direct disciple of Senior Sister Jin Ling, Luo Shu has a solid background and extraordinary talent, and has long been famous in Jiejiao.
"Nephew Luoshu?"
Wang Mo murmured softly, frowning slightly, "Why would he come to Jiulong Island and visit us specially?"
Yang Sen nodded and said softly:
"Yes, Brother Luo Shu has always been low-key, living in seclusion, and focusing on the Tao and cultivation."
"Perhaps you have something important to discuss with us during your visit this time."
Gao Youqian on the side nodded slightly and echoed:
"Brother Yang is right. Although we haven't had much interaction with Brother Luo Shu, we all know his reputation in Jiejiao."
"He is kind to everyone and treats his fellow disciples equally. He has never looked down on us, his outer disciples."
Li Xingba smiled slightly and said:
"Yes, I admire Junior Brother Luo Shu's character."
"He is humble and polite, and he is gentle and refined in his dealings with others. This kind of cultivation is rare among the younger generation of Jiejiao."
He paused for a moment and continued:
"Since Junior Brother Luo Shu has come from afar to visit our cave, we, as the host, should naturally fulfill our duties as a good host and entertain him well."
As soon as Li Xingba finished speaking, Wang Mo, Yang Sen and Gao Youqian nodded in agreement.
After discussing for a moment, the four of them decided to get up and go outside the cave to welcome Luo Shu.
Although Luo Shu is a junior, he is the third-generation disciple of the Jiejiao and has a noble status. As the other four outer disciples, they naturally have to treat him with courtesy.
When Shen Gongbao saw the four people getting up and walking out of the cave, he also quickly got up and followed.
He was full of gratitude towards Luoshu. Although the two of them were not close friends, it was Luoshu who reminded him to see the true face of the people of the Chan sect, which made him decide to leave the Chan sect earlier.
It was reasonable for him to accept Luo Shu's favor.
At this time, Luo Shu stood quietly in front of the cave, the breeze blowing across his sleeves, swaying gently.
He raised his head slightly and stared into the depths of the cave, expecting a response from inside.
In a moment, the cave was completely silent, as if even the sound of the wind had been swallowed up.
Luo Shu frowned slightly, secretly confused.
He thought his voice was not loud enough, and perhaps the people in the cave did not hear it.
So Luo Shu took a deep breath and prepared to call out again.
However, just as he was about to speak, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly came from the cave.
Immediately afterwards, five figures walked out of the cave and came into Luo Shu's sight.
Luo Shu's eyes lit up and he saw clearly who was coming. They were none other than the Four Saints of Jiulong Island - Wang Mo, Yang Sen, Gao Youqian, Li Xingba, and Shen Gongbao.
Their appearance instantly dispelled Luo Shu’s doubts.
Luo Shu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the five people in front of him. He was humble but dignified, and his voice was clear and respectful:
"My nephew Luo Shu pays respects to all the uncles. It is really rude for me not to come to the mansion to pay my respects in time."
"I wanted to greet the uncles after entering the cave, but I didn't expect them to come out to greet me personally. I am really flattered."
Wang Mo smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"You are too polite, Brother Luoshu. We are very happy that you can come to Jiulong Island. Please come in quickly and let us entertain you."
As Wang Mo finished speaking, the other four people nodded one after another with friendly smiles on their faces.
Upon hearing this, Luo Shu nodded, and then followed Wang Mo and others into the cave.
……
Inside the cave, light shines through the fine cracks in the stones and falls on the neatly placed cushions, creating mottled light and shadows.
Luo Shu sat opposite Wang Mo and others, and their eyes met with each other, revealing a hint of intimacy and respect.
After everyone was seated, Wang Mo slowly spoke, his eyes fell on Luo Shu, and asked:
"Is this your first time to Kowloon Island, nephew? What do you think of the scenery of Kowloon Island?"
Hearing this, Luo Shu raised his eyes slightly, recalled what he had seen and heard on Jiulong Island, and said loudly:
"Uncle Master, the scenery of Jiulong Island is truly breathtaking. The mountains are as green as ink and the waters are as blue as blue. Every place is filled with the charm of nature."
"Especially the spiritual energy here is quite rich. It is a good place for cultivation. The vision of several senior uncles is still very high."
Hearing Luo Shu's words, everyone's mouth curled up in harmony.
After a while, Gao Youqian at the side asked:
"Master, what is the matter that brings you to Jiulong Island this time?"
When Luo Shu heard Gao Youqian's question, he thought for a moment and said softly:
"My fellow uncles, I am here to give you some leaves from the mother tree of Da Hong Pao so that you can make tea."
After a pause, Luo Shu waved his hand and four bags of fragrant leaves appeared in front of everyone.
Luo Shu continued:
"This Da Hong Pao mother tree is an innate spiritual root that my nephew got by chance. Although it is not as good as the ten best innate spiritual roots, it is also a rare item."
As soon as Luo Shu finished speaking, Gao Youqian and several other uncles showed surprise and joy on their faces.
They reached out to take the leaves from the Dahongpao mother tree and looked at them carefully, with curiosity and anticipation flashing in their eyes.
Li Xingba felt the unique aroma and flavor, and couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Master Nephew, you are so thoughtful! I didn't expect that you could actually obtain such spiritual roots. You are really a person with great fortune!"
Li Xingba's words were full of praise and admiration for Luoshu.
The others also nodded in agreement, their faces filled with smiles of joy and gratitude.
Seeing this, Luo Shu smiled and said softly:
"Uncle Master, thank you for your praise. This is just something I found by chance. It is my honor to share it with you uncle masters."
Upon hearing this, everyone smiled warmly and nodded slightly, as if responding to Luo Shu's humility and respect.
After a while, Luo Shu thought of the purpose of this trip, and his eyes inadvertently swept over the people present, finally settling on Shen Gongbao who was sitting quietly aside.
He spoke slowly, his voice full of concern and respect:
"Uncle Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time. How come you are here with us uncles? Is your training in Kunlun Mountain going well?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Gongbao raised his head and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but was immediately replaced by a gentle smile.
He smiled and responded:
"Brother Luoshu, you are so thoughtful! I have a good relationship with all of you Taoist brothers. I come here occasionally to exchange experiences in cultivation and discuss the great way of heaven and earth together."
"I came here this time just because I have something to share with you fellow Taoists. I didn't expect to meet you here. It's really a deep fate."
Just as Luo Shu wanted to continue speaking, Yang Sen on the opposite side suddenly stood up and said angrily:
"Nephew, you may not know that Brother Gongbao suffered countless grievances and contempt during his training in Kunlun Mountain."
"From top to bottom, whether it's the master or the fellow disciples, they all looked down on him, as if he was an insignificant existence."
After saying this, Li Xingba, who was sitting next to Yang Sen, couldn't help but speak out:
"That's right. When the people of the Chan sect see us, they keep saying that we have little luck and are just like us, as if they are so powerful."
As soon as Li Xingba finished speaking, Gao Youqian immediately echoed:
"That's right! That's right! They all look down on others and think they are superior to others."
"In fact, his cultivation level is not even as good as Senior Brother Duobao and Senior Sister Jinling. This is really ridiculous!"
As Gao Youqian finished speaking, the atmosphere in the whole room became tense.
Wang Mo and others also expressed their dissatisfaction and anger towards the Chan sect.
Luo Shu looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help feeling helpless.
He was well aware of the long-standing feud between the two religions, but he did not expect it to break out here in this way.
