Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 493
"Brother Li, this wine is really miraculous. Although I was drunk yesterday, after waking up today, I feel full of energy. My whole body seems to have inexhaustible strength. Even my vision is much clearer and wider than before. It is mine. Your eyesight has improved."

Cheng Le moved his arm, but waved it forcefully.

Not like a scholar, but like a martial artist.

"Hearing this, I also discovered that I have lung disease since I was a child, and I always cough at night. I woke up this morning and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, but found that my breathing was very smooth, I didn't cough again, and my mind is clearer than before. The body is indeed much stronger." Zhou Cai who was next to him was also shocked.
Sigh.

"Really? I don't feel anything else. I just slept and felt much better." Li Xiuyuan said.

He really didn't have any special changes, maybe he was different from ordinary people and changed little, just felt it.

The three of them were walking along the street towards the mountain, planning to go up the mountain together to seek immortality.

While walking and chatting, they were all talking about the fairy drunk yesterday.

Of course, he also praised the benevolence of the shopkeeper. After he waited for others to get drunk, he sent someone to settle down. After waking up, he was exempted from the cost of staying overnight, and even invited himself and others to have breakfast very politely.

They didn't know that the reason why the shopkeeper was so enthusiastic was, of course, that the shopkeeper earned a table handed down from generation to generation.

"But this Immortal Drunk really has such an effect, so I have to save some and give it to my parents and family members to taste. Although it can't prolong life, it can still be light and healthy." Li Xiuyuan secretly said.

"Brother Li, the way up the mountain is ahead. I heard that the mountain road is rugged and has many forks. We think we have a better chance of going up the mountain separately and asking immortals, or we should stay together and take care of each other?"

After a few days at the foot of the mountain, looking at the mountain road in front of him, Zhou asked.

Cheng Le said: "Of course we are together. There are many tigers and wolves in the mountains. What should I do if I encounter danger when I go up the mountain alone?"

"Indeed, if we meet by fate, let's go up the mountain together." Li Xiuyuan said.

He is not afraid of tigers and wolves in the mountains, but he is afraid that these two scholars will meet tigers and wolves. If they are destined to enter the fairy gate, that would be the best.

As for whether they can enter the mountain gate, it depends on their fate.

Asking for immortals is not something you can ask for if you want, it depends on whether you have the destiny to practice Taoism.

Among other things, there are at least five disadvantages and three disadvantages.

If you are not suitable for cultivating the Tao, you will not be able to enter the mountain gate until you die, and you will not be able to cultivate the Tao. It is not that an expert can accept you if you want to because of your good aptitude.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the weather is fine today, and there is less fog on the mountain. It is the best time to go up the mountain today. If I delay my young master's affairs, I will not spare you."

At this time, I heard a voice behind me. A carriage came along the street and stopped at the foot of the mountain road. A rich man in his early twenties, with weak footsteps and a pale face, walked down. Several servants guarded him closely behind him. Follow closely.

Two robust servants, carrying the bamboo sedan chair that had been prepared earlier, carried the rich man up the mountain quickly with vigorous steps.

"Take good care of the young master. If my son seeks a fairy fate, each of you will reward you with ten taels of silver." An old man stuck his head out in the sedan chair and shouted loudly.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at it, but didn't pay much attention to it.

"It's another person asking for immortality. That young master seems to be in poor health, and he needs someone to carry him up the mountain." Cheng Le shook his head.

"It shouldn't be asking for immortals, I'm afraid most of them are asking for medicine." Li Xiuyuan said: "Don't worry about it, let's go up the mountain."

The three of them left Changshou Town together, and walked up the mountain along a road that people in the town often go up the mountain.

The mountain is not steep and the road is easy to walk.

But it was okay when I was at the foot of the mountain, but when I walked halfway up the mountain, I found that there was fog around me, thick like water, lingering, and I couldn't even see the road under my feet when I looked down.

"The mountain was locked in heavy fog, and what the villagers said happened, and the surrounding area was shrouded in mountain fog, so I couldn't see clearly." Zhou Cai said in shock.

"Is it?"

Li Xiuyuan looked around, although there was fog in the mountain, but it was not dense in his eyes, it could only cover a little bit of sight, and the mountain road could still be seen clearly.

But in the eyes of Cheng Le and Zhou Cai, the sky was filled with thick fog, and they couldn't see their fingers.

"There is thick fog in all directions. We can't even see the direction clearly. Where are we going now?" Cheng Le said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Don't be nervous, just follow me, my eyesight is pretty good, I won't lose my way."

With that said, he strode up the mountain without any hesitation.

Cheng Le and Zhou Cai followed carefully, not daring to wander around.

At this moment, there are more than a dozen Taoist temples in the Immortal Mountain, hidden in the mountains, invisible to ordinary people, and extremely difficult for ordinary people to find.

But there is a step that twists and turns along the mountainside and leads directly to the bottom of the mountain.

But this step was spellcast by an expert in the Taoist temple. Although it exists in the mountains and forests, it is invisible and intangible. It can only be revealed after contact with the spell.

But today, there was a Taoist who was drunk and strode alone. He walked up the steps from the deep mountain and came to the Taoist temple.

In the main hall of the Taoist temple, there are more than [-] Taoist priests in Taoist robes sitting on futons, as if waiting for something.

These people have different demeanors, there are taoist priests who look like beggars in ragged clothes, some are well-dressed Taoist priests with extraordinary appearance, there are also disabled Taoist priests with missing arms and legs, and there are also old Taoist priests with white hair and beard.

After about a moment, the roof of the Taoist temple suddenly opened, and a group of auspicious clouds fell from the sky.

But I saw a Taoist boy of fifteen or six years old, wearing a Taoist robe, holding a dust whisk, wearing a cloud crown, with his eyes closed, he seemed to be asleep, sitting on a black tiger stepping on the auspicious clouds and landing on the high platform.

"Meet the master."

More than [-] Taoists in the main hall saluted and paid homage together.

This five or six-year-old Taoist boy riding a black tiger is actually the ancestor of these Taoists.

"No need to be polite, get up."

The Taoist boy said plainly: "Today, the poor Taoist returned to the mountain gate because there is a distinguished guest coming. If the calculation is not bad, he will come within an hour when he enters the mountain. This person is already a member of the mountain gate. Under the name of a Taoist, he can be counted as the disciple of the poor Taoist. In terms of seniority, he is still the teacher of some people.
Uncle, he did not go up the mountain this time to seek the Tao, but only to seek the Dharma. "

"All spells in the mountain gate can be granted to him, and all conveniences can be granted. He will leave the mountain gate after ninety days. A place beyond redemption, too late to regret.”

At this remark, all the Taoists who sat down were shocked.

The door teaches all spells and allows convenience, who is this person?It is also worthwhile for the master to appear in person to deliver the order.

And this person still has a great cause and effect, so he cannot be provoked.

This kind of people who have karma in the body can only be kind, not enmity.

Gratitude is rewarded with great blessings, and enmity is rewarded with great evil.

It's not clear, but Taoists who have practiced in the mountains for so many years understand it.

"Dare to ask Master, who is this person?" A Taoist asked respectfully.

Master Daotong said: "The master of the heavenly palace, the king of the underworld, the emperor of the mortal world, the sage handed down from generation to generation, may also be the unrivaled demon, the demon of the chaotic world, who is he, it is difficult for a poor Taoist to say."

Got it~!

Hearing this, these Taoists were all stunned.

There is only one disciple of the blind Taoist who can have such a fate.

The sage on earth who traveled [-] miles from the east with Ziqi more than a dozen years ago, the son of the Li family in Guobei County, Li Xiuyuan, is gone.

Although he was blinded by heaven's secrets and couldn't figure out his identity, but the blind Taoist in the mountain gate occasionally mentioned it, and now he is naturally aware of this point.

"Drunk Taoist, you are late." Suddenly, Master Daotong said.

At this moment, although a drunken Taoist hurried up the mountain with vigorous steps, he was still a step behind and arrived outside the hall.

"I have met the master." The drunken Taoist gave a respectful salute.

Master Daotong said: "Since you came a little late, I will punish you to take this man up the mountain."

"Yes, master." The drunk Taoist replied.

"If there is something unresolved, you can burn incense and pray, and the poor will know." Master Daotong rode a black tiger and auspicious clouds, lifted the roof of the temple, flew up to the sky, and soon disappeared into a golden light In the distance.

"Respectfully send off Master." All the Taoists gave another salute.

"Hey, it would be great when I can have the Taoism of the master. A poor Taoist has practiced Taoism for [-] years, and he can at most be three or four feet above the ground. It is absolutely impossible to fly to the sky and escape from the ground." An old Taoist said with emotion.

Another Taoist said with a smile: "The ancestor is already a human immortal, and he will live forever. He will not fall unless he is a catastrophe. We have not yet met the dragon and the tiger, and the golden core has not been condensed. How dare we expect to become an immortal? Just meditate and practice qi, and you will be successful." If you don’t live in immortality, you can still be at ease.”

"The blind Taoist heard that he was going to become a fairy, which is really enviable."

"Practice in the world, sheltered by blessings, it's just a chance. If you think about it, you might as well go into the robbery and travel around the world. Maybe your Taoism will greatly improve."

"Don't dare, dare not, the world of mortals should be robbed, nine times out of ten."

The drunk Taoist hiccupped at this moment, swayed and said: "The poor Taoist went to fetch that man into the mountain, so I won't chat with the brothers."

With that said, he staggered away again.

Soon, he returned to his residence and summoned someone: "Ling Fengzi, go to the mountain and lead that precious disciple of the blind Taoist up the mountain."

"Master, you're drunk again. This apprentice doesn't know that mundane apprentice of Master Uncle." Ling Fengzi said.

"You will recognize him, that's the one whose face is invisible." Drunk Tao said humanely.

Ling Fengzi replied: "In this way, this disciple will know."

"Go." The drunken Taoist waved his hand, and started drinking on his own.

After Ling Fengzi left, he pondered in his heart. For some reason, he felt that the person the master mentioned was probably one of the three people he met in Changshou Town yesterday.

One of them rides a dragon horse and is destined to be extraordinary.

The person who wanted to come to greet him was that person.

If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter if the three of them lead them up the mountain together.

"Shouldn't be some scholar who disgraces the poor and is full of lies." Ling Fengzi's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but think of that annoying scholar.

If this person is a disciple of the blind uncle, wouldn't he be higher than himself in terms of seniority.

Wouldn't it be unlucky for him to enter the mountain gate and expose what happened that day?
No, no, how can this work.

With distracting thoughts in Ling Fengzi's mind, he unknowingly left the mountain gate and entered the mountain.
