My Journey to the West on the Heavenly Road

Chapter 232
Unlike Sun Wukong, Jiang Yuan was born of the essence of heaven and earth, with great potential. Once he attains the Tao, he can forge a divine body within three years.

His current accumulation is full of five qi, if he wants to forcibly condense Yuandan, it is also possible, but if he lacks the foundation, there will be danger.

In fact, the five qi were cultivated in five days, and if it was said, it would shock countless practitioners.

Jiang Yuan silently felt the qi of the five elements circulating in the five internal organs for a while, filled with joy, and after being intoxicated for a while, he raised his head, and a big head was in front of him.

"Master, have you cultivated to become an immortal?" Wuqian asked with a grin.

"It's still one step away." Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

"Oh, then, you can continue to practice." The donkey rolled his eyes, "By the way, master, are you hungry, why don't I go and get you some food, and then retreat after eating."

Jiang Yuan sneered, "Okay, put away your face, since your master said it was five days, it was five days."

Wuqian immediately jumped up, "Then let's go, go back to Huaguo Mountain!"

Jiang Yuan shook his head and smiled, stood up, put the golden thread futon into his cassock, glanced at the cave where he had lived for eight years, feeling a little sad, he knew that it would be difficult to come back after leaving Fangcun Mountain today.

The donkey was heartless, and excitedly smashed open the cave door and ran outside. When the cloud stepped on his feet, he turned his head and shouted: "Master, come up quickly, the East China Sea is not close, let's start early."

Jiang Yuan didn't care about the donkey, walked out of the cave leisurely, looked at "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Slanting Moon and Three Star Cave" on both sides of the cave gate, looked at the sixteen-character message on the stone wall, and then looked at the distant cliff .

Under the setting sun, the cliffs are bathed in glow.

It is sunset when it comes, it is sunset when it attains Taoism, and it is sunset when it is gone now, but it is dependent on beginning and end.

Jiang Yuan smiled faintly, and didn't go to worship again, he was about to get on his mount and leave, when he paused suddenly, his eyes showed surprise.

"Master, why?" Wuqian had been waiting anxiously for a long time. Seeing Jiang Yuan's strange expression, he was about to ask, but he suddenly paused and said in surprise, "There is a sound?"

Jiang Yuan has risen against the wind, flying towards the peach forest.

The voice came from the depths of Mount Rotten Peach!
Wuqian hurriedly stepped on the cloud to catch up with Jiang Yuan, stared at the depths of the peach forest, and said anxiously: "Master, it sounds like chopping firewood."

Soon, the master and servant discovered that the sound was not from the depths of the peach grove, but from the other side of the mountain.

The peach forests are all dead and decayed, and the mountain of rotten peaches is full of dead branches.

Leaping over the dry trees, a young woodcutter came into view.

A steel-bladed ax was lifted up and down, with a crisp sound, and the dry peach tree was cut obliquely and fell down with a bang.

"It's getting late, and the firewood is enough, let's go home."

The woodcutter wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up at the sky, then put away his axe, gathered up the broken branches, and tied them up with hemp rope.

Phew, a gust of wind fell.

Startled, the woodcutter turned his head quickly, and saw a young man in ocher-yellow robe looking at him strangely.

"Brother you are"

The woodcutter took two steps back, quietly picked up the axe, his face was full of vigilance, and just as he opened his mouth, he saw a cloud of air falling beside the young man, the cloud cleared, and a majestic strange beast came out.

The strange beast was half taller than the woodcutter, its body was covered with scales, like dragon scales, its hooves were like dragon claws, wind and cloud gushed from its mouth and nose, and its pair of pupils revealed a terrifying power.

"Spiritual beast?" The woodcutter was stunned, and seeing the divine beast standing next to the young man in the posture of a servant, he blurted out, "Immortal!"

"Your Excellency has said it before, but I have not yet obtained the fruit of the Immortal Dao."

Jiang Yuan opened his mouth softly, but he sighed in his heart, putting away his astonishment.

He has used Linglong's mind and supernatural powers to see through the inside and outside of the woodcutter, and he is indeed an ordinary mortal.

"Excuse me, where is this place?" Jiang Yuan cupped his hands and asked.

The woodcutter hastily replied respectfully: "In the words of the gods, this place is Rotten Peach Mountain."

Jiang Yuan's eyes flickered, and he asked again: "Why is it called 'Lan Taoshan'? I don't think peaches can grow here."

The woodcutter bowed his waist humbly, "The gods are right. There are indeed no peaches growing on this mountain. As for the name, it has been passed down from generation to generation. It may be because of the rotten peach trees on this mountain."

"However, there is something magical about this mountain." The woodcutter took a careful look at Jiang Yuan, "That is the dead trees all over the mountain. They never grow, but they can never be cut down. People in the village, The ancestors have been cutting firewood here for hundreds of years, but there are no fewer dead trees in the mountains."

"That's why everyone says that old gods live in this mountain!"

After all, the woodcutter looked at Jiang Yuan expectantly and nervously.

Jiang Yuan's heart moved slightly, but he didn't show it on his face, and nodded lightly: "So that's the case, thank you for clarifying the confusion."

Wuqian suddenly said, "Master, I went out to Chechi City before, and I never noticed that there was a village nearby."

Before Jiang Yuan could respond, the woodcutter thumped and fell to his knees: "Immortal, old immortal, please save my mother-in-law, I will kowtow to you!"

The woodcutter was about to hit his head on the ground when he suddenly felt a gust of wind rushing under him. Not only could he not knock down, but he also stood up from the ground involuntarily.

"I'm not a god, you don't want to do this great gift." Jiang Yuan said casually.

However, when the woodcutter saw Wuqian speak, he completely believed that Jiang Yuan was a god, and even believed that Jiang Yuan was the old fairy of Lantao Mountain that his ancestors told him. He couldn't kneel down, so he bent down and bowed desperately, begging:

"Old Immortal, I beg you, one of my two children has just been weaned, what should I do if I lose my mother, please."

"Don't get excited."

Jiang Yuan suddenly drank, the woodcutter felt his heart tremble, and immediately froze in place, unable to speak, the woodcutter was terrified, but seeing Jiang Yuan's supernatural powers, he was very excited, thinking that his mother-in-law was saved.

"What's wrong with your wife?"

After Jiang Yuan's words fell, the woodcutter regained his freedom. Afraid of offending the gods, he bit his lips to suppress his excitement, and replied in awe:
"After my mother-in-law gave birth to a baby last year, for some reason, she suddenly started to have heart palpitations. I took her to the city to find many doctors, but they couldn't even find out the cause. Now it is getting worse and worse. It used to be half a month ago. It hurts left and right once, and recently I have been covering my heart for three to five days, and my face is pale from the pain."

"I really couldn't do anything before, so I found a mountain witch doctor. The man said that my mother-in-law had an evil disease in her heart, and it must be a god that was intractable. He asked me to prepare for the funeral. But my little one is only over one year old, and I lost my mother-in-law. , I am a rough man, how can I raise her up?"

"Old God, please show mercy and save us! If you save my mother-in-law, I will be your cow and horse, and repay your great kindness forever."

As the woodcutter said, he wanted to kneel and kowtow, but he couldn't kneel down, and he didn't know how to express his plea, so he felt awkward for a while.

Jiang Yuan murmured, "The evil plague has entered your heart?"
