Chapter 156: Eating Immortal Fruit and Planting Immortal Trees The sun sets in the west, the golden sun hangs high in the sky, the sea of clouds stretches for thousands of miles, and the green mountains are numerous. It is such a magnificent scene of sunset on the mountains. No wonder even the gods like to come here. Going up the mountain is difficult, and going down the mountain is even more difficult. When going up the mountain, you dare not look down, but when going down the mountain, you have to look down all the time. If you lose your footing, it will be the same as jumping off a cliff. Lin Jue even wanted to take a magic pill, step on the protruding rocks and ancient pines, and float down gracefully, but when he thought of the preciousness of the magic pill, he held back and slowly climbed down step by step. When we went down the mountain, the sun was setting. When we returned to the Taoist temple, it was already dark. Seeing that he had not returned for a long time, his fellow brothers took down the dried ribs on the beam, washed them briefly, and used them to cook a pot of cured rib porridge, which the two of them enjoyed just in time for their return. Today, Master came out of retreat and came to have dinner. "Where did you go? Why did you come back so late?" asked Taoist Yunhe. "Master, the peaches on the mountain are ripe, so I asked my brother to go pick peaches on the mountain. While picking, I remembered that there were no peach trees at Taoist Wangjizi's place, so I dragged my brother to Xianyuan Temple to deliver the peaches. On the way back, we saw immortals above Tiandu, so my brother and I went to climb Tiandu." The little sister answered honestly.
"You don't know the road, so don't fall down." The eldest brother immediately said worriedly. “We are very careful.” "Have you met any immortals?" Taoist Yunhe asked. "I met a fairy, but I didn't see her." The little sister said, looking at Lin Jue, "Let senior brother tell me." "I was just about to tell Master——" Lin Jue said this and took out two fruits from his arms. Everyone present immediately turned their eyes over. Anyone can recognize what kind of fruit this is—— The red fruit dragon eye from Mount Yi. But compared to the elixir fruits they had eaten before, these two were a whole circle larger. The elixir fruits in Yishan were already extremely rich in spiritual charm, and these two were even richer. Everyone looked at each other and of course knew what it was. “It’s actually the original Dan fruit!” "The rumors in our temple are actually true. An immortal really ate the immortal fruit on Tiandu Cloud and scattered the fruit core, which became the elixir fruit in Yishan Mountain." "Junior brothers and sisters are so lucky!" "It seems that some of the seniors in the Taoist temple have also met these two gods on Tiandu Peak. Even if they didn't give them immortal fruits, they have seen them scatter the fruit cores." The fellow brothers were all amazed. "Master..." Lin Jue looked at Taoist Yunhe, "Since it is an immortal fruit, can it help Master's life span?" "How can you, a little Taoist priest, forcefully extend your life span? When others make fun of you in the future, remember to say that you came from Xianyuan Temple." Taoist Yunhe laughed cheerfully, and then said naturally, "Are the two immortals you met the Qingsong and Huangshi Immortals?" "Hmm? Master knows them?"
"How could I know them? It's just that when I was young, I was just like you. I saw the figures of immortals on the mountain, and they were blown out by the clouds. I also went to look for the immortals." Taoist Yunhe said, "I have also accepted the opportunities given by these two immortals." "What did Master get?" Many senior brothers and junior sisters all looked at him. "Nothing much. I just happened to hear them discussing the Yin-Yang Dao when I climbed to the top of the mountain. I was amazed." Taoist Yunhe shook his head. "It's a pity that I was young and arrogant at the time. I thought that after listening to the immortals' lectures, I could find the legendary Yin-Yang Dao by myself. However, I forgot the principle of taking it step by step, which led to the imbalance of Yin-Yang." Lin Jue suddenly understood after hearing this. If it were at the foot of the mountain, the way of Yin and Yang would be called the Great Yin and Yang Way, but now that the master specifically mentioned it, one could naturally guess that he was referring to the Great Yin and Yang Method. Lin Jue had long known that his master was too eager for progress when he was young, which led to an imbalance of Yin and Yang. Later, after talking with his senior brothers, he guessed that his master might know that in addition to the small Yin and Yang method, there was also a large Yin and Yang method. He might have wanted to find this large Yin and Yang method himself, but failed. Fuqiu Temple is backed by the Yishan Mountain, a treasured fairyland, and has the ability to recognize people and know their fate. If it had the Great Yin-Yang Method, even if it were difficult for the current Lingfa School to achieve enlightenment, there would have been many immortals among its disciples throughout the generations. The limitation lies in the great Yin-Yang method. Now it seems that this speculation is mostly true. I just didn't expect that I was actually influenced by the immortal's preaching. I think Master was also a genius in cultivation when he was young, which is why he is so confident. It's a pity that such a thing as creating a spiritual practice can only be done by saints. "Have you, brothers, ever encountered immortals on Tiandu Peak before? Did you also get opportunities?" The younger sister was curious and puzzled. "I've encountered that." said the eldest brother. "I didn't." said the second brother. "How can it be so easy to meet the gods? Not only meeting them, but even seeing them from afar is not easy. It is said that the two gods come only once a year, and the time is uncertain. Every time they come, the sky will be blocked by clouds and fog. Only a few times when the wind is strong in the sky, the clouds covering the mountain tops occasionally leak out a corner. You have to look up at Yishan Mountain at this time, and you have to be at the right angle to know that they are on the mountain at this time." The third brother said to them, "Maybe the Taoists in Xianyuan Temple have seen more." Lin Jue listened and said, "No wonder." No wonder they only vaguely saw the gods on Tiandu once when they first went up the mountain, and this was only the second time they saw them. This opportunity really came unexpectedly. If you think about it carefully, it seems very reasonable. The gods in the story gave mortals fruits and wine. What reason did they need? People who practice Taoism want to be free and unrestrained. The two gods were not gods who became officials after death. If such people who practice Taoism and become immortals still have to calculate and haggle all day long, it would be too uncomfortable. At this time, the master held up the bowl and tilted his head to ask the little sister: "It has been a long time since I have tested your studies. I asked you to cultivate the road to the Xianyuan Temple. How far have you cultivated?" “It will be finished soon.” "How soon?" "Within two months." "Hurry up, I am waiting to walk on your new path and visit Xianyuan Temple." "!" The little sister's expression condensed: "I know!"
Then he picked up the bowl and started eating. Lin Jue continued eating. The handmade dried pork ribs have a rich flavor. When cooked into porridge, the porridge will also have the salty and fresh taste of the cured pork ribs. It is a pleasant surprise to eat a piece of bone or meat occasionally. Return to the room and finish washing up. Lin Jue did not rush to eat the fruit. Instead, he spread a piece of white paper on the table, took his pen, and hung it on the beam with a thin rope. The tip of the pen just fell on the paper and made a black dot. Then he placed the fruit on top, and the talisman on top, and then lit three incense sticks, and sincerely asked: "Please come, Master. "Senior Jixian, please come here. "The immortal..." Suddenly, a breeze blew into the room. There was no movement in front of him, nor was there any sound in his ears, but Lin Jue knew that the spirit medium had arrived. This senior who retorted was a little arrogant. Lin Jue asked directly: "Today, I was in Tiandu and received a fairy fruit from a fairy. I want to ask the fairy what it is called?" "..." There was a long pause, and the pen finally began to shake. Two lines of ancient poetry were written on the paper in ancient handwriting: "The wealthy often embellish their houses with wine and meat; “Gold is found in the sand and dust.” By the time the last word was written, the string had been pulled to one side. Suddenly the force dissipated and the pen swung back, leaving several marks on the paper. The medium has already left. "This……" The senior who refuted the suggestion actually composed a poem for him according to the rules of the medium. Lin Jue leaned over to steady the pen so that it would not shake, then stared at the two lines of poetry on the paper for a long time. He was not sure what the fruit was called, but he guessed that it was probably an acrostic poem. Most of the time, it is derived from the word "cinnabar". But it doesn’t matter if he can’t be sure. After all, no matter how he looked left and right, he couldn’t see the words “earth spirit”. I hope it’s not Earth Spirit Pill or any other alchemy material. "Thank you, senior." Lin Jue then felt relieved and took the fruit. This is an immortal fruit, its spiritual energy and charm are better than that of the elixir fruit. Although the two have eaten the elixir fruit, they can still get the extra benefits.
Just like last time, my head quickly became dizzy. After all, Lin Jue had become more advanced in Taoism. He was prepared and his resistance had also improved, so he spit out the fruit core calmly, wiped it carefully with a towel, took out Empress Yaohua's mother-of-pearl jewelry box, put the fruit core on the layer that originally contained the elixir formula, and then lay down on the bed. Cover yourself with a bearskin rug and fall asleep in softness. The next time I woke up was three days later. When he opened his eyes, he found himself still lying on the bed, with a cool mat beneath him and a bearskin blanket covering him. However, the fox was attracted by the softness of the bearskin blanket, so he also got on the bed and fell asleep on it. Seeing that he woke up, I opened my eyes and turned to look at him. Lin Jue had no time to pay attention to it, so he focused on feeling himself carefully. There is a vague feeling - At this moment, if I just talk about my Taoist practice, I am afraid that I am not worse than my sixth and seventh senior brothers who are equally talented and have joined the Taoist temple for several years earlier. Maybe even better than them. Of course, Taoism does not represent cultivation, and cultivation does not represent ability, and ability is not just about fighting. Everyone has their own ambitions. If it comes to fighting, I and my junior sister would have already surpassed the sixth and seventh senior brothers, but this does not affect Lin Jue's respect for the two senior brothers, nor does it affect Lin Jue's learning from them, because they also have other things that are better than Lin Jue. Rub the fox, get up and go out. The junior sister had just woken up and was sitting in the yard, eating a bowl of porridge. When she saw him, she asked: "Brother, how do you feel?" "fine and you?" "Me too." The little sister said, "Now I want to find a big demon who has done evil things and fight him." "Don't forget what Third Senior Brother told us." Lin Jue said, "The only secret to being undefeated in a fight is not to fight." "I know! I was just thinking about it!" The little sister said so, and took out a fruit core from her bosom, placed it in her white and tender palm, and handed it to Lin Jue: "Brother, do you think this thing can grow into a Dan fruit tree if it is planted?" Lin Jue looked at her with a smile. That's exactly what he meant. After breakfast, the two of them got busy in the inner courtyard of the Taoist temple and dug a hole in the floor. Fortunately, the junior sister's stone-crushing technique was almost perfect, and the hole she dug was a natural circle, as if it was carefully built rather than dug on a whim, revealing the soil underneath. One person dug the hole, while the other went to the forest to dig humus soil, changed the soil and modified the hole, and then carefully buried the fruit core in it. Then a bottle of spiritual liquid was poured down. Some aura was spreading. "Based on my understanding of plants, it should be able to survive." Lin Jue said, "I don't know how many years this elixir fruit will take to grow, but now it's good. When the next generation of Fuqiu Temple disciples go up the mountain, the fruit from this tree will be a welcome gift from our two uncles." "hey-hey!" The junior sister laughed happily. The two of them only planted one, which was the fruit core of the junior sister.
It's not that Lin Jue is stingy, but the fact is that this elixir fruit was originally an immortal fruit. After falling into the mountains, it was cultivated by the goblins and Taoists. Although it is not as good as the original one, it is also very spiritual and requires a lot of spiritual essence to nourish. Even if Lin Jue and the second senior brother were both in the Taoist temple, it would be almost impossible for them to support two Danguo trees. And after they went down the mountain, the eldest senior brother would be alone on the mountain, and it would be difficult for him to support even one tree. I had to plant one. The junior sister provided the seeds, and Lin Jue took the opportunity to refine some more spiritual liquid before going down the mountain and stored it in the Taoist temple for the senior brother to use to water the tree. This way, a fruit tree could be grown with the power of the temple. Moreover, the fruits from just one tree are enough for the next generation of disciples to eat. …… Mid-Autumn Festival leave request form ↓ (End of this chapter)
