Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 209 Questions and Answers of Immortals
With his back facing the ever-flowing ice-free spring, Bukit looks up at the towering Yao trees.

A red light pierced the sky, Jiang Ling jumped to the ground, walked over and said: "Master, the master of the Qiyao Cave and the elders of the Twelve Lingtai have been notified."

Niu Zhu happily carried the mountain axe, walked over and said: "All the ingredients are ready, just wait for the master's order, and the hot dishes will be ready to serve after rinsing with oil."

"Very good. At three quarters noon, the table starts on time."

When Wu Ji spoke, his eyes were still fixed on the Dayao tree in front of him.

Jiang Ling and Niu Zhu looked at each other, and waited quietly without disturbing Master.

After a while, Wu Ji stretched out a hand towards Niu Zhu, "I borrow the ax to use."

Hearing the sound, Niu Zhu handed out the mountain ax with both hands.

Wu Ji raised it from the air, and the mountain ax broke away from Niu Zhu's hands, flew up in a circle, and turned into a huge afterimage in the air.With a flash of white light, a very thin ray of light appeared on the trunk of the Yao tree.

As the light fades, the tree trunks crumble, leaning slightly towards the unfrozen spring,

Under Niu Zhu's and Jiang Ling's astonished eyes, the huge tree trunk toppled over and smashed into the pool water, splashing a large amount of water.

Su Ji just rushed over when he heard the sound, and saw the neat incision at the broken part of the tree trunk, he couldn't help being shocked, walked over quickly and asked:
"Master, I remember when we met for the first time, you were chopping this tree. At that time, every time you cut the axe, the trunk would heal immediately, as if it would never be cut off. But just now you only used one axe ..."

Wu Ji didn't wait for him to finish, he already knew what he wanted to ask, and slowly answered: "There are many seemingly impossible things in the world, but the time is not yet ripe. Over the years, when I used the method taught by the Taigong Master to break the hexagram , I found that any bad line has a prosperous time. This is fulfilling the cause and effect of good and evil, the reincarnation of heaven and earth. It’s not that there is no retribution, the time has not yet come.”

Su Ji's doubts intensified a bit. He didn't know what Master meant by the retribution of good and evil, and he didn't know why Master cut down this tree.
Niu Zhu rubbed the back of his head, and said in a daze, "Master, you're talking about the truth again."

Jiang Ling begged bitterly: "Master, last time you chanted for a long time, and you kept repeating words that you didn't understand. Today is an auspicious day, so please do me a favor and don't make us suffer anymore, okay?"

"Listening to the good words of the teacher is the blessing of your disciples. Why is it a punishment?" Wu Ji shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, anyway, this is the last time."

Su Ji suddenly opened his eyes slightly, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what do you mean by that?"

Wu Ji smiled lightly, then changed the subject immediately, and asked, "Do you know why the banquet of Queen Mother of the West has to wait until noon?"

Jiang Ling replied: "Is this meant to take the meaning of 'Rising Sun'?"

Wu Ji shook his head, "Because the protagonist of this banquet arrives in the morning, we have to wait for her to leave before we can start the banquet."

"The protagonist of the banquet?" Niu Zhu asked suspiciously.

Jiang Ling said: "The protagonist of the Queen Mother's feast is of course the Queen Mother of the West."

Niu Zhu showed astonishment on his face, "I heard that the Queen Mother of the West will entertain all kinds of gods in Kunlun Yaochi, is that true?"

Wu Ji said uncertainly: "Maybe."

"Maybe?" Jiang Ling was quite surprised, "Could it be that even Master hasn't seen Queen Mother Xi?"

Wu Ji nodded in agreement, and then ordered: "Disciples, it's almost time. You send the peach blossom and lovesickness soup to Kunlun Yaochi. The banquet for the monks of Chanjiao will be held at the Baisong Pavilion on the west side of Yuxu Palace. Waiting for you there."

When the three of them came to the edge of Yaochi, they saw that seven or eight tables had already been set up, and the tables were filled with steaming delicacies.

The last two Shanzhen Pavilion disciples had just put down a few plates of delicacies and fine wines before bowing and retreating.

Su Ji glanced at the precious jade plate on the table. Although he couldn't recognize what it was made of, he could still feel that it was very precious.However, what surprised him was that there were only empty seats around, but no one could be seen.

The three of them brought a pot of peach blossom and lovesickness soup to the chairman in the middle, and suddenly a familiar voice came from their ears:

"Master, let's meet again."

Su Ji heard the sound and looked around, only to see a dirty old Taoist who was sitting on the seat at some point, it was Taoist Lu Ya!

"When did you come?" Jiang Ling asked.

Daoist Lu Ya lifted the lid of the pot and sniffed, and said with a satisfied expression: "It's early, but you couldn't see me just now."

"Why?" Su Ji asked.

Daoist Lu Ya proudly said: "Because I didn't lose my fairy body just now. With your cultivation base, even if a fairy is standing in front of you, you can't see it. Just like an ant, you can never see a complete person. Because of lack of eyesight; gods can't let mortals see their whole picture, just like people can't let ants see their whole picture. In a word, only gods can see gods, and mortals can only see mortals. If one day you become Immortals, if you open your eyes, you will be able to see immortals."

Su Ji said: "Then we can see you now, which means you are not a god!"

Daoist Lu Ya boasted: "I'm not an ordinary fairy, I'm a majestic Sanxian! Let me swim in the three mountains and five mountains, and enjoy the islands of Penglai as I please. Everyone calls me a fairy, and I have feelings in my belly!"

Su Ji asked: "The Taoist priest who played chess with you in Chunqiu Garden, is he an immortal?"

Lu Ya Daojun said with disdain: "The old yellow face is another situation. He is a sage of the heavenly way. If he wants to save all living beings, he must be seen by ordinary people."

Hearing this, Su Ji suddenly realized that once a person's body is sanctified, ordinary people cannot see it.It's no wonder why mortals in the world have never seen gods.He remembered that when he was on the top of Zhuyu Peak, Niu Zhu also asked his master about the gods. At that time, the master only said a few words. The appearance before the fairy, once it is made a god, the fairy will be separated forever.

At this time, Su Ji suddenly remembered something, and said in shock: "So, even if the gods are sitting here now, I can't see them?"

Taoist Lu Ya nodded and said, "Hey, I finally understand."

Niu Zhu was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly faced the many seats, bowed his head and saluted, "Seeing the gods from all walks of life... Forgive me, junior... I just took the liberty!"

Daoist Lu Ya covered his mouth and snickered, waved his hands and said, "They haven't come yet."

Jiang Ling and Su Ji couldn't help but chuckle.

Niu Zhu put down both hands in embarrassment, "Then when will they come?"

Daoist Lu Ya smiled and said: "I can't say for sure. You wait here patiently. When it comes, I will tell you of course."

Thinking that the legendary god is about to descend in front of them, the three of them couldn't help feeling a little excited, and they were all quite curious about the mysterious fairy.

The three of them stood aside and waited quietly for a long time, until the dishes on the table were completely cold, and the god still did not appear.

Niu Zhu scratched his head and asked: "I heard that a long time ago, a dish made by a disciple of Shanzhen Pavilion won the favor of Queen Mother Xi. In order to reward this person, Queen Mother Xi specially gave him a flat peach as a reward. That disciple became a Taoist after eating the flat peach. Xian. Is there such a thing?"

Lu Yadao hesitated and said: "I don't know about this, and I don't come here every time, but I think this is unlikely. I like to eat the dishes made by Wuji, but those gods may not like them."

Niu Zhu asked: "Why? Master's dishes are obviously delicious!"

Daoist Lu Ya thought hard for a while, and suddenly said: "For example, a little ant tells you that it is willing to offer you its own steamed bread crumbs, bug corpses, and other food, please do somersault in front of it. , are you willing? If you are willing, then you are no different from ants. If gods think the same as ordinary people, then they are not gods."

Jiang Ling next to him was bored and asked a question: "Is the way of heaven heartless or merciful?"

"It's...it's hard to say." Lu Yadaojun said: "It's cloudy and windy, thunder and rain are all done by gods. When gods are angry, they use a flood to destroy a village, just like you use a flood to destroy a village. It is as easy to destroy a nest of ant nests with a bowl of water. To ants, your existence is almost like a god. Therefore, whether you have feelings for ants or not, this may vary from person to person."

After hearing this, Jiang Ling couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

The three of them asked questions, but the gods still hadn't arrived.

Daoist Lu Ya also became a little impatient. He frowned and glanced at the three of them, wondering, "Hey? I remember that there were four of you last time. Why is there one less today?"

Niu Zhu suddenly said: "That's right, where did Fourth Junior Brother go? I haven't seen him just now, isn't he usually the favorite to join in the fun?"

Jiang Ling snorted, and said contemptuously, "Seeing that we are busy, he must have found a place to be lazy."

Looking at the empty tables, Su Ji yawned and said, "Fortunately, he didn't come. If he sees these empty tables, he will probably be so disappointed again."
