My Journey to the West on the Heavenly Road

Chapter 154: Ups and Downs (Two in One)

Three months have passed since the battle of Qianjiaohai, and the short winter in Haizhongzhou has also passed. It is the season of warm spring and flowers blooming, and the entire Taoshi Mountain is full of vitality.

On the top of Moxin Cave, where Jiang Yuan once sat in meditation on a snowy day, today is the familiar ocher-yellow figure again.

"breathe--"

Jiang Yuan faced the cliff, his eyes were slightly closed, his palms were facing the sky on his knees, the ocher cassock on his body moved with the breath and the wind, and a wooden hairpin was inserted on the top of his head to tie up his hair casually.

The wooden hairpin was glowing with moonlight, and it was the laurel branch presented by the meritorious Cao of the year.

The spring vitality of the mountains lingers, seeps into Jiang Yuan's body with every breath, and immediately, the flesh and blood viscera, tendons and acupoints, like wild flowers in the mountains, bloom silently.

A faint smile slowly rippled on Jiang Yuan's quiet face.

"Guard the gods inside, keep the heavens outside", according to Yu Huazhen, the master of the Temple of the Three Immortals, Jiang Yuan realized it for three months, and finally today, touched by the vigorous vitality of all things, he has entered the realm.

"Cold and cold through the ages. Nothing to do and no self"

The meditative formula quietly emerged in his heart, and Jiang Yuan's heart became more and more quiet.

However, the body, nourished by the vitality of the spring, became more and more restless.

Meditate the mind like water, dry the body like fire, purify the mind and cleanse the mind and soul, dry the fire to refine the muddy body, and finally, the cleansed mind and soul are like young sprouts, which are agitated by the restless muddy body, breaking through the ground little by little.

Jiang Yuan, who was in a trance, only felt a flash of an indescribable idea.

Then, an invisible force gushed out from the depths of his body, lifted his divine sense and flew upwards, flying all the way through the eight extraordinary meridians, and went straight to the heavenly spirit.

Hum, as if hitting a layer of transparent film, the mind is blocked.

Just as Jiang Yuan was a little anxious, the meditative formula flashed, and he immediately regained his composure. He was not in a hurry or panic.

I don't know how long it took, and with a bang, the porch broke open!
The unstoppable divine sense jumped up, turned into a cloud of misty mist and merged into the spring breeze, warm sun, and then danced with the wind and dispersed with the light.

A kind of joy welled up in my heart. If I had to describe what kind of joy it was, it would be "I have been in a cage for a long time, and I have returned to nature."

Rumbling, the vitality in the body suddenly shook.

The circulation of Zhou Tianmai from Tianmen to Yongquan is like a trapped giant python, trying to chase the divine mind that jumped out of the cage, break free from the shackles, and transform into a dragon and ascend to heaven.

boom!
Jiang Yuan's mind swayed, and his spiritual thoughts, misty and foggy, instantly separated from the spring breeze and warm sun, and fell back into his body quickly.

"Ugh--"

After a sigh, Jiang Yuan exhaled a long white breath, opened his eyes in disappointment, stared blankly at the green mountains, white clouds and red sun, and shook his head for a long time before getting up.

"It seems that the time has not come."

what time?
Naturally, it is an opportunity to return to the innate and build the foundation of the immortal way.

In fact, the entrance has been broken, and the restrictions have been removed. If one really wants to forcibly return to the innate, it is also possible, but the immortal base that is cast in that way must have insufficient foundation, and it is difficult to become a celestial being.

Besides, Jiang Yuan is not completely ignorant about this "opportunity", he can only wait for the moment when the world favors him, he is [-]% sure, the opportunity he lacks is actually his spirit and flesh.

"It is still impossible to find Fangcun Mountain, so the possible solution to this problem still falls on this Fangding."

Jiang Yuan turned his hand and took out the small cauldron, and glanced at the mountains, rivers, birds, animals, flowers, insects, fish and other cloud patterns on the tripod:
"Zhenqing Xunxuan"

Whoa!
Green, white, red, black, yellow and other five colors of brilliance gushed out of the tripod like tassels. After washing the small tripod from top to bottom, it was poured back into the tripod and turned into waves of surging colorful mist.

The cloud patterns of mountains, rivers, birds and animals on the tripod disappear, and four different reliefs of plants and trees appear. On them, the nine-scented insects, the immortality of the sky, and many ancient herbs are all outlined by colored lines, shining brightly.

There is only one spiritual herb that is still in the dark—the Wannian Chun, and this spiritual creature has to go to Huangya Island.

With the dissemination of Jinsha Shenfu, Fang Xiandao, and the cooperation of Guangze Kingdom, the Battle of Qianjiaohai has spread throughout the entire Haizhong Continent, and the notoriety of the dragon's son's crimes is well known.

Let me add one more thing, the reason why Guangzeguo cooperated was because of Zhao Zhuoquan and Qi Wanzhen, those two went home.

Furthermore, Dongyang Zhenren also sent a message, saying that he had passed on the matter of the evil dragon to Wufu Taiyi Zhenjun, and that Zhenjun promised to come forward to help.

In short, it can be said that the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas has definitely lost the qualification to compete for the Dragon King of Haizhongzhou.

In this way, things became clear, and God Lord Da Ao had no rivals.However, the official grant from the heavenly court has not come down for a long time.

It is said that the Dragon Clan is still obstructing and procrastinating.

After much deliberation, the Jinsha Divine Mansion guessed that the Dragon Clan was preparing for revenge, but in order not to be charged with mutilating his colleagues and despising the rules of heaven, he tried his best to prevent the Great Ao from ascending to the Dragon King of Haizhongzhou.

However, two or three months have passed, and with the help of the miraculous medicine, God Lord Da Ao has recovered [-]% to [-]% of his injuries, but the dragon clan's revenge has never come.

If the Tianlu doesn't come down, and the revenge of the Dragon Clan hangs over his head, Jiang Yuan can't get away to do his private affairs, so he can only stay in Taoshi Mountain honestly, and Huangya Island is naturally impossible.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, you can see the waterfall in front of Xiaoshuilian Cave. Thousands of monkey spirits are having fun in the forest around the waterfall.

A piece of fruit forest, from time to time flashes the air of green wood, it is an old monkey holding a spirit wood crutch, and is cultivating food for monkey spirits.

There is also a group of clouds, skimming the hills, stepping on the tops of the forest, sometimes making ahhh hissing, beside the clouds, accompanied by a mysterious golden light, it is Wuqian and the golden mouse.

Below the two monsters, there are several teams of monkey soldiers wearing armor and carrying weapons, walking through the mountains and forests, training.

Looking at the figures in the mountains, Jiang Yuan silently put away Fang Ding, secretly hoping that the Dragon Clan would give up revenge and never come to break the peace.

But is it possible?

Jiang Yuan sighed inwardly, and after frowning, he stretched out his hand, and a golden feather fell into his palm.

This golden feather was the magic weapon used by God Lord Dayao to transport all the alchemists and demon soldiers from Jinsha God Palace to Qianjiao Sea, and it was refined by God Lord Biyan from his own feathers.

A mortal body cannot fly into the clouds. If one wants to fly, one must rely on talismans, or one can only use the method of capturing the wind, and these two things are called flying, but in fact they can only be regarded as divine movement.

Taking the wind of the ochre-yellow cassock as an example, Jiang Yuan can ride the wind to a height of more than 30 feet above the ground at most, and his flying speed must be several times faster than the fastest horse in the world, but it is far away. It is not as good as the Tengyun method of more than a hundred miles.

None of the alchemists and demon soldiers in Jinsha Divine Palace have escaped from their mortal wombs. If they want to send them to Qianjiao Sea in one go, it is far from being possible with the magic power of Da Ao Shenjun.

That's why I asked Biyan Xianjun to refine such a magic weapon.

Although the black cloud and violent wind blown by Jin Yu is not as good as the real soaring clouds and fog, it can take more people and fly faster than the general wind capture method.

More than two months ago, God Lord Da Ao had recovered a little, so he held a celebration banquet to discuss meritorious deeds, and Jiang Yuan took the opportunity to ask for this magic weapon.

He wanted to use this magic weapon to send the old monkey and the others out of Taoshi Mountain to avoid the coming storm.

However, when he took the golden feather to the old monkey to express his thoughts, he was rejected by the old monkey.

The old monkey's reason was that if he heard that Taoshishan was in trouble, Jiang Yuan would send them away. Even if the three brothers and sisters of Da Ao Shenjun didn't say anything on the face, they would definitely have suspicions against Jiang Yuan in their hearts.

Although Jiang Yuan said he didn't care, Lao Hou insisted.

Jiang Yuan knew that the old monkey was ashamed of him, and he didn't want to drag him down, so he failed to persuade the old monkey in the end.

Whoosh, a sound of wind fell to the top of the mountain, but it was a kingfisher with a red beak and blue feathers.

Jiang Yuan put away the golden feather, turned his head to look at the messenger of the Great Ao Divine Lord, and asked, "But the Divine Lord has something to do?"

Seeing the happy face of the flapping kingfisher, he added: "Is there a happy event?"

Kingfisher exclaimed excitedly: "Prince Ma Ying sent a souvenir from Dongyang Master, saying that the god's conferment table has been sent to the Lingxiao Palace for instructions, and there will be a heavenly official coming down to the realm in the near future, so that the god is ready to welcome it."

"really?"

Jiang Yuan was overjoyed, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, as long as God Lord Da Ao had the throne of the Dragon King, the Dragon Clan must be jealous of the Heavenly Court and could not retaliate wantonly.

After being overjoyed, Jiang Yuan wondered why the Dragon Clan didn't act.

Kingfisher jumped in front of Jiang Yuan and said sharply: "My lord, my lord, the god is calling you to Jinsha mansion."

Perhaps God Lord Da Ao also had doubts, Jiang Yuan thought to himself, and said to Kingfisher: "Then let's go now."

Jiang Yuan Yu Qifeng followed the kingfisher and jumped down to the top of the mountain, and soon flew to Jinshatan Bay, and entered through the gate of Jinsha Shenfu.

Pass through the stone gate, pass through the underground stone bridge, and after being yelled by a few ugly fish covered in scales, step into the garden manor, and then be led to the banquet hall by the servants.

The bright and bright banquet hall is filled with the smell of wine and the atmosphere is hot.

The brothers of the Cheng family, Wuji Akui, Lin Li and Su Yu, and several appreciated alchemists of the Three Immortals Temple were all present.

"Brother (adult)!"

When everyone saw Jiang Yuan, they saluted Jiang Yuan in unison. Since the first battle in Qianjiaohai, these people have become more and more respectful of Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan returned the salute one by one, and then was grabbed by Ma Ying who ran down from Da Ao Shenjun, and said with a smile: "I was late at the beginning, so I have to punish him with three cups first."

The strong smell of alcohol came to his face, Jiang Yuan looked at Ma Ying's rosy face, and then glanced at the Lord Da Ao who was seated above, his face was also cheerful and his eyes were slightly drunk.

It seems that he was wrong in his estimation. With such an atmosphere, there is definitely no need to worry about the Dragon Clan.

Jiang Yuan relaxed, took the hip flask thrown by Ma Ying, and jokingly said, "I accept the punishment, but I haven't eaten for two days, can I fill my stomach first?"

As he said that, he greeted Da Ao Shenjun: "Has the Shenjun recovered from his injuries?"

God Lord Dayao pointed at Ma Ying, and said happily: "Your Daoist Ma sent a pill, I have already taken it, now the injury is serious, I just need to nourish my vitality."

"Congratulations, Lord God!"

Jiang Yuan expressed joy, then bowed his hands to Ma Ying: "Thank you, brother Yuyuan."

Ma Ying waved his hand and said with a grin: "It's nothing to do with me, I'm just entrusted by the master. However, you were too early to congratulate."

God Lord Dayao heard this, his face couldn't help but be filled with joy.

Jiang Yuan also knew what was going on, so he immediately turned to God Lord Da Ao, bowed solemnly, and said in a loud voice: "Congratulations to Lord God for having a great wish and ascending to the throne of Dragon King."

"Hahaha, I was really well informed at the beginning."

Da Ao Shenjun grinned loudly, in high spirits.

Jiang Yuan smiled, "It's the Kingfisher and You Rongyan, who couldn't hide their joy at all."

Da Ao Shenjun clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay, okay, where is the herald?"

The kingfisher heard the call, rushed into the banquet hall with fluttering wings, glanced enviously at the banquet, and respectfully called out to the god, "Why did the god call the little one?"

Da Ao Shenjun saw Kingfisher's eyes, and his smile became stronger, and he said, "Kingfisher Herald is very loyal, and he handles things neatly. Thank you for your seat."

"Thank God! Thank God!"

The kingfisher volleyed several times excitedly, then rushed to the seat, grabbed a spiritual fruit, pecked at the spiritual wine, and Mei's small eyes narrowed into slits.

Spiritual wine and delicacies came next. Being able to attend the table meant that one's status had been promoted, and one had truly entered the inner circle of Jinsha Shenfu.

God Lord Dayao was very satisfied with Kingfisher's performance, so he summoned a maid to serve it, making the little monster jump happily on the table.

On the contrary, Ma Ying looked bored, pulled Jiang Yuan to sit down, pointed at the delicacies on the table, and urged: "Ben Chu, hurry up and fill your stomach, and drink as a punishment!"

Jiang Yuan took a few mouthfuls of vegetables and took a sip of tea. Ma Ying gritted his teeth angrily, but just as he was about to attack, Jiang Yuan put down his chopsticks and asked Da Ao Shenjun:

"Shenjun, when will the blessed heavenly official come?"

Before Da Ao Shenjun could speak, Ma Ying glared at Jiang Yuan angrily, and replied aloud:
"With the help of the Five Blessings Taiyi Zhenjun, as soon as the instruction is completed, the Sanguan Palace will accept it immediately, and it will only take ten and a half months."

After Ma Ying finished speaking, Jiang Yuan nodded, and looked at God Lord Dayao again.

Shenjun smiled slightly: "At first, I wanted to ask the Dragon Clan, right?"

Jiang Yuan glanced around the lively banquet, and said with a smile: "The Dragon Clan probably don't need to worry, but I'm a little curious."

Shenjun turned his head and blinked at Ma Ying, "Let's help Daoist Ma clarify the confusion."

Ma Ying coughed twice, picked up the jug and filled Jiang Yuan with a glass of wine, then knocked on the overflowing wine glass, raising eyebrows at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan was speechless, took a drink from his glass, and Ma Ying smiled, and quickly filled another glass.

After drinking three cups in a row, Jiang Yuan stopped Ma Ying from pouring another drink, and said angrily, "Speak!"

Ma Ying laughed and said: "It's actually very simple. When the god's talisman performance table is sent to the Lingxiao Palace, the Dragon Clan must be scruples."

Seeing that Jiang Yuan was still a little confused, Ma Ying put down the jug in his hand, tapped the table, and said with a strange smile:
"You said, if the Jade Emperor Tianzun had just ordered the memorial table, and there was a message saying that the Dragon King he wanted to be named was being retaliated against, who would you say was slapped in the face?"

"The Dragon Clan, even if they want to retaliate at the price of violating the rules of heaven in the future, they dare not make trouble during this period of time, otherwise they will definitely be punished with a third class."

Jiang Yuan suddenly realized.

Da Ao Shenjun waved his hand at this time, and laughed triumphantly:
"The Dragon Clan has missed the opportunity! When I ascend the throne of the Dragon King, as long as they dare to make a slight change, I will go to the Lingxiao Temple and send a few evil dragons to the dragon-cutting platform."

However, Jiang Yuan still couldn't figure it out, why the dragons were willing to give up the opportunity for revenge?

East China Sea Dragon Palace.

"Brother, is it really a good plan for us to do this?"

Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, also knew about Da Ao's talisman, which had been sent to the Lingxiao Palace. The Dragon Clan had missed the best opportunity for revenge. Although it was their agreed plan, they were still a little nervous.

The Dragon King of the East China Sea stroked his beard leisurely, and said with a smile, "A good plan? This is a good plan!"

Ao Shun frowned: "But."

"Brother, relax and listen to your brother. This matter will be left to King Yu Tamarin."

The Dragon King of the East China Sea stretched out his hand to interrupt Ao Shun, smiling very proudly:
"You and my Dragon Clan can get away completely, avoid karma, and avenge great revenge. Why not do it?"

Ao Shun had no choice but to relax, and then slapped the table hard, "Let that thief have fun for a few more days."

"Don't worry, it's only a few days away from July. If he is happy now, he will be miserable then!"

A gloomy look flashed across the eyes of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and he immediately picked up the jug and poured wine for Ao Shun, "Come, try the fairy wine that Xiao Qi specially bought for you from Shizhou and Sandao."

Ao Shun took the fairy wine, looked around and said, "Where is Xiao Qi, still avoiding me?"

The Dragon King of the East China Sea smiled wryly and shook his head: "He felt ashamed to see you, so he left the fairy wine and ran out of the Dragon Palace again."
