Chapter 19: Strange things happen one after another Lingxiang didn't know what she was up to, but she wanted him to attend the Yuanqing Sect's initiation meeting. She had taught him well, so why did she want to be a hands-off boss? Long Qi went to Jiuque Mountain while criticizing her in his heart. Many people gathered in front of the mountain gate, some wanted to join Taoism, and some brought their children to join in the fun. It was very bustling and lively. There were two young men in blue standing in front of a square table at the entrance. They were originally disciples of the Yuanqing sect, and they were registering the names of those who were going up the mountain. "Everyone, please pay attention. Anyone who wants to become a disciple must show their name tag. Only after changing their name tag can they enter. Anyone who is interested in cultivation can enter. Even if you are not interested in Taoism, you can go to the mountain to meditate or ask for divination. All the elders of the sect are in the hall." To get in, one needs a name card. He has been wandering around the city since he was a child and has no home. Where can he get a name card? Long Qi muttered, and suddenly remembered that Lingxiang gave him two treasure bags before she left, and hurriedly opened them. In one brocade bag was a yellow talisman of unknown use, and in the other was a black jade plate with a red tassel, with a note attached: If the mountain gate is difficult to enter, just hand this plate to the Taoist boy guarding the gate. This woman is really calculating. A disciple took the jade token, looked at it, whispered a few words to another disciple beside him, then returned the token to Long Qi, bowed to him, and invited him to go up the mountain.
The two of them no longer took the guest road halfway up the mountain, but instead climbed the stairs at a fork in the road. The young man saw that Long Qi had been walking for a long time without getting out of breath, and he looked at him differently. Not long after Long Qi followed the young man, he noticed that the small steps were becoming increasingly narrow. After an incense stick of time, he felt a chill all over his body. Looking up, the sky seemed to be blocked by the mountain, leaving only a thin line. The sunlight shone through the line onto the stone steps in front, just like a ladder hanging on a cliff. After walking for about a moment, the view suddenly opened up. There were strange rocks and unusual plants all around. There was a stream whose source was unknown. It flowed through an open space and then rushed away not far away. On the rocks beside the stream, an old man was meditating and regulating his breathing. The young man walked to the side with Long Qi and bowed to the old man. "Master, a guest has arrived." He then stepped aside and stood with his hands folded. The old man opened his eyes and looked at Long Qi. He saw that his hair was like silver frost, his eyebrows were like black and white mountains, his eyes were like the reflection of the moon in a deep pool, and his face had a beard that was whiter than snow. He wore a jade crown, purple clothes, and emerald belt and cloud shoes. Such a Taoist and immortal demeanor made Long Qi speechless. "Who is the visitor?" the old man asked in a voice as loud as a bell. Long Qi didn't know how to answer for a moment, so the young man gestured for him to present the token and talisman. The old man took the talisman, frowned, picked up the talisman and started to make hand gestures. The young man quickly covered his ears, and Long Qi didn't understand what was going on. "Old Shangqing! This man is my disciple! Please train him well for a few days on my behalf! Come and take possession of him when you have time!!" Ask for it back... return…… The sound of the incense echoed around the valley, and it was actually a sound transmission note. Long Qi blushed when he heard it... How could there be such a woman who is totally free of restraint... and…… The old man in front of him turned out to be the head of Yuanqing Sect, Shangqing Zhenren! How dare Lingxiang, that woman, order him around like this! What was her origin? …… When the Lord of Guyang City heard that the closed disciple of Yuanqing Fuyin Zhenren had come to his door, he hurried out to greet them. He was stunned at first when he saw that they were two girls, but he looked back to normal in a moment.
Seeing him like this, Lingxiang couldn't help but praise him: After all, you have seen the world, and your perspective is different from others. The city lord bowed to the two men and without further greeting, told them about his wife's current condition. It turned out that about a month ago, the lady was brewing tea and appreciating chrysanthemums in the backyard, but for some reason she suddenly fainted and has not woken up to this day. The city lord invited all the doctors and sorcerers in the city, but none of them could help. Hearing the name of Master Fuyin, the city lord went to Yuanqing in person, but the gate of the mountain was closed, so he sent out medical notices in the hope that someone with the ability could help. Mai Dong looked at Ling Xiang after hearing this. This was strange. How could she faint for no reason? Ling Xiang also looked confused. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Don't speak rashly before the diagnosis. We have to wait for the two of us to check Madam's pulse before we can discuss it." Upon hearing this, the city lord hurriedly led the two to the backyard. Although he is the lord of a city and a member of the royal family, he does not seem to be arrogant at all, and his residence is not overly luxurious, just like an ordinary mansion. Even though she had been lying down for more than a month, the city lord's wife still had a pretty face, just a little pale. After all, he is the lord of a city. How many supplements must he have used... Maidong stepped forward and checked the city lord's wife's eyelids, then felt her pulse for a while before he frowned and stood up. "According to her pulse, the lady is fine. She just often stays in bed, never sees the sun, and has some weakness..." "The doctor and sorcerer who came to see me before said the same thing," the city lord quickly replied, "but why doesn't my wife wake up?" "I find it a little strange..." Lingxiang stroked her chin and said, "Normally, even if the tonic is the best, if a person is in this state, they will look sick to some extent. But Madam is just like sleeping. It's just a symptom of lying in bed for a long time..." "Yeah, that's what I'm confused about. Could it be that someone is infusing her with spiritual energy?" Mai Dong guessed. "I wonder if there are any cultivators in your house?" Lingxiang turned and asked the city lord. "Except for my son who is interested in practicing, we have never invited any monks." Dog...dog? This city lord is just a young man, but he has a son who is determined to practice spiritual cultivation? The city lord seemed to see the two people's confusion and said, "I will be forty in two years, and my son has just had his hair tied up." "The city lord and his wife really have the secret to maintaining their youthful looks. They are blessed by God and are truly a couple made in heaven..." "I wonder how advanced your son's cultivation is and where he is now?" Maidong asked the city lord without waiting for Lingxiang to finish flattering him. "My son only knows some martial arts, and he received some instruction from a friend a few days ago. He is now going to become a disciple of Yuanqing, and he also wants to see Master Fuyin and ask him to help save his mother." "No matter what, one cannot lie down like this all the time. It is better to place a small couch in the corridor so that Madam can get some yang energy outside." When the city lord heard Lingxiang say this and saw Maidong nodding in agreement, he hurriedly called the servants to make arrangements. After some tidying up, it was already You time. The setting sun shone on the city lord's wife, and the city lord sat beside her. Looking from the courtyard, the beauty was lying on the couch with a jade crown beside her. This scene made people feel like being in a painting. Just when Lingxiang was staring in a trance, Maidong poked her. "Do you hear any bells?" Lingxiang listened carefully and indeed heard the sound of a bell coming closer and closer. "Dingling~Dingling~" It was as if he was coming towards them. "Dingling~Dingling~"
Lingxiang turned her head and saw a completely black object walking towards the city lord's wife at the corner. The figure seemed to have noticed her gaze and turned his head sharply to stare at Lingxiang. It turned out to be a cat. A black cat with red-gold eyes! (End of this chapter)
