My Journey to the West on the Heavenly Road

Chapter 210
"It's getting late, I have to chop some dry firewood and go back to take care of my mother."

"Lord Mountain God, I'm leaving. My mother made some peach blossom cakes to honor you. I'll bring them to you next time. Little donkey, serve Lord Mountain God well and get stronger quickly."

The woodcutter left, leaving Wuqian staring at the god-man eagerly.

The god-man casually threw a peach branch in front of Wuqian, and the branch took root, and grew into a lush peach tree in the blink of an eye, and then blossomed, changed leaves, and bear fruit.

The heavy branches full of big peaches hang down from the peach tree, shaking in front of Wuqian, allowing him to bite with his mouth open.

The alluring peach fragrance made Wuqian's mouth water, but he endured the temptation, turned his head, and shouted gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Shanshen"

The man of God smiled, then waved his sleeves and pointed at the peach trees all over the mountain, and said loudly:
"My mountain peach can regenerate mortals, and can make immortals and gods realize the profound root. It is a first-class spiritual fruit in the world. It is also very good at giving birth, and it can take root wherever it is placed. Therefore, there are often some evil monsters, Xiao Xiao, sneak into my peach forest to steal peach branches, and go back to cultivate them."

"Your duty is to put away the missing peach branches when I am pruning them, lest they fall into the hands of thieves."

Wuqian heard that the man of God entrusted him with such an important responsibility, looked at his frail body, couldn't help but lowered his head, and said in a low voice full of anxiety: "I'm so weak, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I won't be able to take on this important task."

I thought I would be reprimanded by the god-man, but after waiting for a long time, the god-man didn't move at all, and looked up carefully, but saw that the place where the god-man was standing was empty.

"Lord Mountain God?" Wuqian called out in a daze.

"Tomorrow at sunrise, I will prune the peach grove in the southeast corner." From the depths of the peach grove came the whisper of the god-man.

southeast
Wuqian raised his head, and after identifying the direction according to the sun above his head, his deformed head, which was as thin as dry wood, showed misery. It turned out that he was located in the west, and to go to the southeast, he had to pass through the peach forest diagonally.

However, he couldn't even stand up, how could he go through the seemingly endless peach groves?
"No, I can! Even if I climb, I have to rush there before sunrise!"

Wuqian's eyes protruded, and he gritted his teeth, a fierce fighting spirit surged in his heart.

The probe bit the peach branch hanging in front of him, clicked, swallowed the peach and leaves, and stroked the branch clean.

Pfft, spit out the bare branches covered with saliva, and with the strength generated in the body, he propped up his body little by little.

As soon as I stood up, my feet were weak and I was about to fall.

"Ugh!"

Gritting his teeth, Wuqian groaned and slammed his body against the peach tree before falling.

With a bang, Wuqian let out a painful cry, and felt that his ribs seemed to be broken.

"Whoo, whoo, whoo"

Wuqian was sweating profusely, panting like an ox, and supported himself by the peach tree with great perseverance, and was able to reach more big peaches.

Recovering some strength, Wuqian opened his mouth and swallowed all the big peaches he could reach.

After eating the big peaches from half a peach tree, I finally felt full strength flowing in my body.

"stand up!"

Wuqian hissed and howled, straightened up suddenly, got rid of the peach tree he was leaning on, and stood alone.

Although his limbs were shaking like sifting chaff, and his body was trembling and swaying from side to side, he finally stood up!

"Hahaha"

Wuqian laughed happily. At this moment, he felt his strength!

It's a pity that he didn't laugh a few times, his frail body couldn't hold on, and he fell limply.

But Wuqian is no longer inferior.

I saw him gather all his strength on his two front hooves, like paddling, paddling on the ground one after another, dragging his body to the southeast peach forest, leaving a long mark on the ground.

The sun sets and night rises.

The crooked traces piercing through the peach grove, under the bright moonlight, there was a faint glint of blood, but it was Wuqian's lower body, which had been worn to a bloody mess.

But in the eyes of the weak little donkey, there is no pain, no retreat, and even no emotion. His eyes are only fixed in one direction, and there is only one thought in his mind——

"Before dawn, rush to the southeast Taolin!"

Fog rises from the mountains and forests, floats like a veil, and gradually diffuses into the peach forest, covering the sight and direction.

But Wuqian didn't hesitate at all, and was still moving forward bit by bit firmly and slowly, leaving behind wet and water-colored blood stains soaked in mist.

Thick fog obscured the sight, but not the mind.

Suddenly, the golden light invaded the dense fog, and the fog covered the mountain quickly dissipated, and a round of red sun slowly climbed up from the horizon.

Sunrise.

"Is it late?"

The frail body squirming in the peach forest suddenly froze, with despair on his face.

At this time, a chuckle sounded: "You are on time, little donkey."

Wuqian struggled to raise his head, and a figure in an ocher-yellow robe stepped forward bathed in the morning sun.

Wuqian was in a daze, and suddenly murmured: "Master."

In the spacious cave, there is a peach tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, full of vitality, standing tall and graceful, with small shriveled fruits looming among the green leaves.

Still unable to produce ripe peaches, Jiang Rangyuan sighed, his supernatural powers were finally lacking.

Jiang Yuan also tried to fall into the dream again with meditation formulas, looking for inspiration, but he couldn't enter the dream again.

After several failures, he figured out a guess.

The first time he fell into a dream was when he first arrived here, he was at a loss and ignorant, so he was thrown off by the woodcutter in his dream;

The second time I fell into a dream, I just ate rotten peaches and big peaches, and fell asleep ignorantly, and didn't even remember what happened in the dream.

It wasn't until he stood in front of the cliff that he realized that the dream was a whirlwind blown by the Dao wind on the Lingtai, and then he ate big peaches and fell into a dream on his own initiative. Only then did he get the guidance of the woodcutter, and when he said the name "Lingtai square inch mountain", he got Meet the great sage who just entered the mountain gate.

What he saw in this third dream was what he was thinking in his mind—whether this place is Lingtai Mountain.

It was also from this dream that he could see clearly the situation in the dream.

The fourth time I dreamed, I saw the mountain of rotten peaches withering, and felt that the next peach ripening would have to wait for a year, and then I learned the magical power of "turning nature into nature, and flowers blooming in an instant" in the dream.

The fifth time I entered the dream was after I was full of peaches again, I saw the Great Sage again in the dream.

But the sixth time he entered the dream, he wanted to seek a breakthrough in supernatural powers, so he pruned a mountain of peach trees in the dream, and understood the meridian of peach trees.

Recalling the various experiences, the dream of the great sage must have eaten new peaches from the Rotten Peach Mountain, while the dream of the woodcutter does not require a big peach. If you think about it, you can see it after meditating.

Therefore, the dream is the appearance of Jiang Yuan Lingtai, and what you dream is what you think!
But now he wants to further advance the supernatural power, why can't he enter the dream?

Jiang Yuan guessed that this last step could not be achieved by epiphany, but required a higher level of cultivation.

Dreams can guide his practice, but they can't make his cultivation increase sharply.

Unlike Sun Wukong, he is a fairy fetus conceived for tens of thousands of years, born of the essence of heaven and earth, with amazing potential in his body.

Speaking of potential, Jiang Yuan turned his head to look at the other side of the cave.

The majestic body naturally fell on the ground, his head was lowered, and he snored lightly, and a dense spiritual light could be faintly seen in the pupils that seemed to be closed but not closed.

Apparently, his mount was cultivating in a dream, and it had lasted for more than a month or two, and the door was already covered with ice and snow.

"I don't know what kind of dream this donkey is having."

Jiang Yuan smiled, then looked away, and looked at the peach tree in front of him again.

He was no longer in a hurry, and let nature take its course.

He raised his hand and wiped a peach branch, and saw that peach branch trembled slightly, and began to grow and spread rapidly.

As soon as Jiang Yuan gave it away, the long peach branch followed his movements, winding forward like a swimming snake, swam around the cave, climbed up the stone wall on the top of the cave, and followed the shape of the whirlpool. Another coil.

After a while, a "peach branch whirlpool" appeared in the sky above the cave roof.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand again, and the coiled peach branches on the top of the cave retracted quickly, and then the entire peach tree also shrank.

The green leaves retracted to the branches, the branches retracted to the trunk, and the trunk became thinner and smaller, retreating along the growth route.

A lush peach tree shrank into a small seedling a few inches high in a blink of an eye, and then retreated into the soil from the small seedling.

Jiang Yuan stretched out his hand to pick apart the soil, pulled out a peach pit, picked it up and held it in front of his eyes, the image of the former lush peach tree was imprinted on the peach pit.

"Although it cannot bear ripe fruit, it does not hinder the mystery of this supernatural power."

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly, put the peach pit into his cassock, then got up and stretched his muscles, glanced at the gray donkey who was still feeling comprehension, and walked out of the cave.

Rusu, the wooden door was pushed open, the snow on the door slid down gently, and a white winter day came into view.

With a wave of his sleeves, he blew away the snow in the valley, then jumped up, stepped on the snow without a trace, and swept all the way to the front of the cliff, weaved a broom casually, and began to sweep the snow quietly.

Before he finished sweeping the cliff, he climbed up to the top of the cliff again, and finally slid down with the vines, cleaning the mountain wall cleanly. From the beginning to the end, Jiang Yuan didn't use any magic power, just working silently like an ordinary person .

An hour later.

The clean cliff under the sunlight reflected a faint luster, and Jiang Yuan was full of joy to see it.

Every time he cleans the cliff, he is also sweeping away the dust from Jiang Yuan's Lingtai, making his heart more pure.

After stopping for a while, he dropped his broom, left the cliff, and went to catch a few small animals in the mountains.

"You can't always eat barbecue dry food. Wait a few days to be free, and then fire a clay pot, then find some wild vegetables, and cook a hot soup."

Jiang Yuan walked briskly, carrying the little beast, and leisurely returned to the cave, after a lot of work, the cave soon filled with fragrance.

Suddenly, the gray donkey crouching in the corner shrugged its nose.

Jiang Yuan sensed it, put down the barbecue that he took a few bites of, and turned his head to look.

boom!
A turbulent air wave erupted from Wuqian's body, surging and reverberating in the cave like a tide.

The fire in front of Jiang Yuan was blown by the air, the charcoal in the fire crackled and exploded, and the flames shot straight to the roof of the cave.

Huh, a piece of sparks splashed over, Jiang Yuan waved his hand, the sparks drifted away, and then with the surging air waves, fluttered and fell towards Wuqian.

The moment the sparks fell, the gray donkey suddenly opened its eyes, its pupils flashed Xuan Yun, its lips squirmed, its white teeth bared, and whispered two words: "Master."

Before Jiang Yuan could reveal his surprise, the turbulent air wave rolled back, submerged the five thousand, and then turned into a gust of wind and a torrential rain.

Inside the cave, the wind and rain suddenly appeared!
