My Journey to the West on the Heavenly Road

Chapter 87 Yu Huazhen

Soon, the old trees disappeared, replaced by slender birches, short and dense bushes, sharp thorns, and large areas of exposed rocky cliffs.

This kind of terrain may be a lot of trouble for the group of young people behind him, but for Jiang Yuan, not to mention walking on flat ground, it is also effortless.

After climbing over the bushes and cliffs, a step close to the stone wall appeared.

The stone walls are dotted with peach blossom-like stone patterns, which are very beautiful.

This is the peach stone ladder.

Jiang Yuan put away his lightness kung fu and body skills, and walked up the mountain honestly on the stone ladder.

call--

The sea breeze with moist moisture was blowing fiercely, making Jiang Yuan's hair flutter and the corners of his clothes dangling.

One side of the stone ladder is attached to the wall, while the other side is suspended in the air, without any shelter. The next step is an abyss, just like walking in the air.

There is also a turbulent sea wind blowing from all directions, the wind is so violent that it can almost blow people off the ground.

However, if you can overcome your trembling fear and turn your head, you can see the magnificent blue sea, the fields, towns on the island, and the ships on the coast.

Jiang Yuan was neither afraid nor interested in the beautiful scenery, so he hurried on his way, and within a cup of tea, he reached the end of the peach-patterned stone ladder, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

On the huge stone platform in the middle of the mountain, in a gorgeous peach blossom forest, the magnificent and elegant shrine is half hidden.

Seven or eight monks wearing Taoist robes are gathering in the peach forest to practice spells.

One person breaks off half of the peach branch, then pinches the mantra and blows on the broken branch, and a new branch grows out bit by bit.

Another person held a jug and poured it into the palm of his hand. The clear water flowed out from the mouth of the jug, but it was not splashed, but swirled in the palm of that person.

There is another person who is practicing the art of controlling the wind. That person is pinching a feather with one hand and chanting a mantra with the other. While he is chanting, a breeze arises under his feet and starts to lift him up slowly.

It's a pity that it didn't rise very high, and it hit a branch at once, and the wind collapsed immediately, and it fell down, causing people around to laugh.

The man was ashamed and stared fiercely at the person who laughed at him, then caught a glimpse of Jiang Yuan, got up quickly, and coughed dryly to cover up his embarrassment.

Following his gaze, the others also found Jiang Yuan, and shouted: "There is another seeker coming, hurry up and inform the temple master."

A handsome young man ran to the shrine behind the peach forest.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan tidied up his appearance, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Jiang Yuan, a loose cultivator, is here to ask to see the three demons and inquire about something."

"Loose cultivator? Didn't you come to seek the Tao?" Everyone was surprised.

Jiang Yuan hesitated for a while, thinking of the practice scene he saw just now, he immediately said:

"I am actually a native of Nanzhan Buzhou, and I came to the East China Sea to seek Taoism."

"It's just that there is an old man who is in trouble now, and I have received a lot of kindness. I need to help the old man deal with the trouble before I can continue to seek the truth."

Those people were all pure-tempered people. When they heard Jiang Yuan's words, they immediately showed admiration, and praised: "Your Excellency values ​​love and righteousness, and I admire you."

Jiang Yuan said humbly again and again: "It's too famous, it can't compare to all the disciples of the immortal sect."

Unexpectedly, everyone in front of them waved their hands again and again: "Your Excellency is wrong, we don't have that fairy fate, we are not disciples of the Temple of the Three Immortals, we just use this to learn some superficial Taoism."

Someone glanced at the shrine behind the peach grove and sighed: "The Temple of the Three Immortals only teaches the Dharma, it doesn't teach the way, and it doesn't accept disciples."

If this is the case, these people will at most become alchemists in the future, and I am afraid that they will not be able to get a glimpse of the true fruit of the immortal way.

Jiang Yuan was planning to finish his work with the old monkey, so he came here to seek advice from a teacher. If he just wanted to pass on some Taoism and alchemy, it would be unnecessary.

thump thud thump, the handsome young man who just ran into the shrine came back and shouted at Jiang Yuan: "The temple master told you to go in."

"Thank you."

Jiang Yuan thanked the young man, then walked through the gorgeous peach grove, and with a sweet fragrance all over his body, he came to the steps of the shrine, and saw a red, blue and gold plaque hanging above it. big characters——

"Three Immortals View".

Stepping on the stone jade steps into the shrine, there is a wide patio facing you.

A few little Taoist boys with croissants in buns waved their brooms while staring at Jiang Yuan with distinct black and white eyes, curiously looking at Jiang Yuan.

There are corridors on both sides of the patio leading to the side courtyard, and a row of bright halls on the front. The main hall is raised high and enshrines three statues of gods.

In front of the main hall, there stood a thin middle-aged man holding a fly whisk and wearing a high crown. Judging by his posture, he must be the master of the Three Immortals Temple.

Jiang Yuan immediately took big strides, walked over quickly, bowed his hands and saluted, "Welcome, Lord Lao, from afar."

The temple master waved his fly whisk, bowed back, and said with a smile: "It's such a joy to have a friend come from afar, fellow Taoist, you're welcome."

Seeing the peaceful attitude of the viewer, Jiang Yuan also showed a smile, and cupped his hands again and said: "I'm Xia Nanzhan Buzhouren, Jiang Yuan, the purpose of disturbing your place is to inquire about something."

The Master of the Temple of the Three Immortals was about to welcome Jiang Yuan into the hall, when he heard this, he stopped in his tracks, and said softly, "Fellow Daoist, please tell me."

"I don't know if the Master has ever seen a gust of wind coming from the sea?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"The wind that Fellow Daoist refers to doesn't mean the sea breeze, does it?"

The middle-aged temple master made a joke, then thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I've never seen a fellow who controls Kuangfeng."

Jiang Yuan asked unwillingly, "Where are the three elders?"

The temple master smiled slightly, looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "Although Yu's cultivation is far inferior to the three fellow Taoists, but he was lucky enough to get the ghost fairy status, and he can still understand the visions within a hundred miles."

Jiang Yuan's heart skipped a beat, he only thought that the temple master was a "miaozhu" character who was guarding the dojo for the three demons, but he was actually a ghost.

And judging from his tone, he and the three demons seem to be treated as equals.

Jiang Yuan hurriedly cupped his hands and apologized: "I don't know senior, I'm being rude in person."

The temple master waved his hand indifferently, and said with a light smile, "But let's take a step ahead, what kind of senior is he? It's enough to just call him 'friend of the Taoist'."

Jiang Yuan was overwhelmed by the demeanor of the temple master, and said respectfully: "I've met fellow Taoist."

The temple master returned the gift and said with a smile: "I have also met Daoist Jiang, Yu Huazhen."

After the words fell, a young man and a middle-aged man looked at each other and smiled.

Jiang Yuan suddenly felt that among all the cultivators he had met so far, this one in front of him was the most immortal.

As everyone knows, Yu Huazhen also feels that Jiang Yuan has a good temperament, and there is a clear spirit in his body that makes him look sideways.

The spiritual energy that Yu Huazhen felt was actually the remaining breath of Tiangong Yujiu.

Both parties felt that the other had good eyesight, and the previous embarrassment quickly dissipated.

Jiang Yuan thought that the old monkey might have dissipated the wheal, so he tried to ask again:
"Guanzhu Yu, in fact, the one who guards against the wind is an old monkey, and there are thousands of monkey spirits in the wind. I wonder if Guanzhu has heard of it?"

As soon as these words fell, Yu Huazhen's expression suddenly became funny.

Immediately after listening to the Master of the Temple of the Three Immortals, he said leisurely: "The monkey spirit that fellow Taoist said came from the Huaguo Mountain?"

Jiang Yuan's heart skipped a beat immediately, "The Lord knows?"

With a smile on the corner of Yu Huazhen's mouth, he stretched out his hand and pointed behind the Jingu:
"The group of monkeys from Huaguoshan are currently guarding the Taoyuan in Taohuayu for fellow Taoists."
