Too much fruit

Chapter 817: Meeting on the Road, Forgetting Love
Although it is almost summer, there is still snow and wind on Kunxu Mountain.

The towering peaks ensure that the ice on the top of the mountain never melts all year round, and the spreading mountain ranges make these white snow occupy an area of ​​30,000 miles.

Jiang Li appeared on a snowy peak riding on the wind. The cold wind blew, and the icy feeling made him feel comfortable.

Ever since he and Tianxuan had sex in front of his senior sister, Gongsun Qingyue had been chasing him and beating him up these days, using the Drought God Palm one move after another, and when they had sex at night, she also used all her strength to circulate her fire energy, allowing Jiang Li to feel the heat of her senior sister.

Although Jiang Li's strength and physique made it difficult for the heat to affect his body, he still acted like he was being punished in order to appease Gongsun Qingyue. So he sweated all day long, experiencing the feeling of his previous life for the first time in a long time.

Now feeling the wind and snow on Kunxu Mountain, Jiang Li couldn't help but open his heart and welcome the baptism of the cold air.

After feeling it for half a quarter of an hour, a light flashed between Jiang Li's eyebrows and his eyes showed hexagrams. He observed the destiny of the west and saw that the solemn pure land manifested by the destiny of the Buddha country had signs of decay, but the foundation was still intact and could still remain intact.

However, within the Pure Land, the conflict between the two Buddhist energies was beginning to show.

Outside the Pure Land...

Jiang Li's eyes moved, and a pillar of light reaching the sky came into view. Beyond the clear light, a purple aura was faintly visible, revealing his identity.

And when Jiang Li looked at the beam of light, there was also a gaze looking at him from afar. An invisible and huge spiritual consciousness contacted Jiang Li through the air.

He also discovered Jiang Li.

Seeing this, Jiang Li was silent for a moment, then he turned into the wind and headed towards the direction of the light column.

After passing Kunxu Mountain, there are thousands of miles of swamps, with lush vegetation and large and small swamps. It is full of vitality but also hidden dangers.

Jiang Li flew over a distance of three thousand miles and saw mountains in front of him. The target he was looking for was on one of the mountains.

Finally, Jiang Li met the other person under a cliff.

He was an old Taoist in simple clothes. His gray and white Taoist robe was made of the most common fabric. His hair was tied up in a bun with a wooden hairpin. He was sitting on a stone and brewing tea.

The way to make tea is the ancient way, not using a teapot, but a pot. There are also broken trees next to it, and the teapot should also be made on site. As for the tea leaves...
There happened to be a wild tea tree two meters away.

Pour the spices into a wooden pot, cook for a while, then add the ground tea leaves and control the heat.

While cooking, the Taoist raised his head and looked at Jiang Li, smiling, "Daoyou Jiang, long time no see."

"Junior greets Senior Li."

Jiang Li took two steps closer and saluted towards the old Taoist.

That’s right, this old Taoist in ordinary clothes was none other than the “Taoist Lord” Li Boyang whom he had met in Laojun Temple.

"Why are you so polite, my friend?"

The old Taoist adjusted the situation with great anger and said at the same time: "Confucianism says that there is no order of learning, and those who are more accomplished are the first. The first is the predecessor, and your Taoism is not far from me. Moreover, I always feel that there is an ominous meaning in the title of Taoist. Could it be that you have received special Taoism fruits like little friend Shen Hou?"

As a dignified Taoist, he spoke in a humorous way, with a sense of casualness.

Of course, it may also be because Jiang Li is a fellow Taoist, not a young friend.

After the battle of Yongzhou, Jiang Li, a junior, has gained a status equal to that of the third-rank masters, and even the strongest ones will not underestimate Jiang Li.

Just as Daojun said, the wise come first. No matter how one whitewashes the virtue of respecting elders, it cannot cover up the rule that the level of cultivation is determined by strength and attainment.

"Fellow Daoist, you are joking," Jiang Li changed his address and said with a smile, "I have always been sincere to others, so how could I tolerate such a Dao Fruit who plots against others?"

"What you mean is that you don't deny that the title of 'senior' may have ominous connotations?" The old Taoist Li Boyang hit the nail on the head.

"That's absolutely not the case." Jiang Li said calmly.

He would never say that most of the people who served as his predecessors had a bad ending.

For example, Lü Tianpeng had been killed by Jiang Li. Although his body was still there, Lü Tianpeng was indeed dead. Tan Wuwei was also called senior by Jiang Li. Jiang Li almost left Tan Wuwei behind.

Jiang Li, who always treats people with sincerity, skipped the topic and looked at Dao Jun, asking, "Daoyou, are you waiting for me?"

"Indeed." The old Taoist nodded.

"Are you sure you can wait for me?"

"I have some knowledge of Yi Dao, so I calculated your itinerary based on it." The old Taoist said this in a nonchalant tone.

But in the next moment, he suddenly smiled again, "Of course this is a lie. I determined that Daoist Jiang would go to the Buddha Kingdom, so I separated a soul in advance to wait in front."

Even the Great Venerable might not be able to accurately grasp Jiang Li's whereabouts. Although the Taoist Master was unfathomable, it was impossible to say that his attainments in the Dao of Changes were better than those of the Great Venerable who held the Luoshu and River Map.

So he just waited on the road.

However, even if you wait on the road, it is not easy to meet Jiang Li.

Kunxu Mountain is the largest in the world. Not to mention one person, even hundreds or thousands of people may not be able to intercept him accurately. The Taoist was able to find Jiang Li because he expected that Jiang Li would wait and see.

"When I was observing the fate of Daode Sect before, he discovered me." Jiang Li thought to himself.

It was for this reason that Daojun knew what level Jiang Li's ability to see qi had reached, and judged that Jiang Li would see qi before entering the Buddha Kingdom. Later, when he saw Daojun's destiny, he was also seen by Daojun.

It sounds complicated, but it is actually quite simple. It looks simple, but to achieve it requires an extremely high level of attainment.

As he spoke, the tea soup was ready. Daojun picked up some mountain herbs from his side and threw them into the pot one by one. After boiling for a while, the rich tea aroma floated up. He picked up the wooden bowl made with the wooden pot and scooped it into the pot, and a bowl of tea soup came out of the pot.

The wooden pot made from local materials was used to cook spices, wild tea from the mountains, and herbs collected locally. One could imagine how strong the tea soup was. Jiang Li did see the turbid color of the soup, but he also saw the clear and translucent luster.

This bowl of tea is half clear and half turbid, and the clear and turbid rotate endlessly like the yin and yang fish. A bowl of tea is a bowl of yin and yang.

However, Jiang Li watched the Taoist making tea the whole time and did not discover any extraordinary method.

In the five turbidities and evil world, no matter how good the location is, plants containing spiritual energy will not grow. If those precious medicines that can absorb spiritual energy are planted outside the blessed land, they will only absorb the five turbidities and evil air.

Tea leaves and herbs are common things, and may even carry foul odors.

The wooden pots and bowls were all made from local materials. Although they were made by the Taoist master, they were not even the lowest-grade magical instruments.

The fire for making tea is also ordinary fire, not real fire or divine fire.

In short, this is to use the most common methods to cook the most common ingredients, and then make a bowl of tea that looks unusual no matter how you look at it.

The turbid half is obscure and unpredictable, while the clear half is free of impurities and even glows faintly. It is still a glowing dish.

Jiang Li now suspects that the Taoist has contained the Taoist fruit of the God of Food or the God of Tea.

"My lifelong wish is to separate the clear from the turbid, and let the world return to the time before the end of the law. That's why I created the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Secret Technique, hoping to change the world. If everyone can master the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Secret Technique, this evil world of the five turbidities will also be changed. What a pity..."

Daojun looked at the tea and said with regret, "The threshold for practicing this skill is too high. In the entire Daode Sect, only my master and I can practice it. I thought that by gathering ideas from all quarters, we might be able to lower the threshold for practicing this skill. So I let my disciple practice the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Secret at will, hoping that someone would gain some insights and discuss it with me."

"As a result, not to mention discussing with the Taoist Master, few people even dare to snatch the skills." Jiang Li continued.

Those who are powerful know how powerful Daojun is and dare not rob him.

People who fail to recognize the strength of the Taoist may be deceived and try to steal the skills, but the problem is that they cannot win. Such people cannot practice the skills even if they get them, let alone improve them.

It can be said that Daojun's seductive look was shown to a blind man.

Of course, there are actually people among them who have good vision, ability and courage, such as Jiang Moumou.

But even he would not fully believe in his heart that Daojun held such noble sentiments.

This is an era where maniacs and old men are rampant. There may be good people, but it is basically impossible to have such selfless good people.

Daojun seemed to see Jiang Li's suspicion and distrust. He smiled and said without explanation, "Daoyou should also know the dangers of the second-grade Dao fruit. If everyone can practice the Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying True Art, they can break through through their own practice. In that case, there is no need to pursue the second-grade Dao fruit so eagerly, giving those gods, Buddhas, demons and monsters a chance to revive. In this way, this world will have a future."

"But if everyone can transform turbid qi and practice cultivation, the damage caused by practitioners will be far greater than before," Jiang Li said calmly, "Before the end of the law, practitioners can absorb the qi of heaven and earth for their own use, and they can easily destroy mountains and peaks. By then, I am afraid that more people will die in the aftermath of the battle. Such behavior is inconsistent with the purpose of the Daode Sect."

The implication is that he still doubts Daojun's intentions.

“Disputes are inevitable, whether before or after the Dharma Ending Age.”

Daojun calmly refuted, saying: "Even the most powerful man in the world would not dare to say that he can settle the dispute. Although I have a kind heart, what I do is not to save the people, but to give people a brighter future."

"Moreover, if there is another path, the third rank in the world will choose to explore this path instead of thinking about stirring up the world to complete the promotion and causing unrest in the world."

If the world today is a piece of cake, then what Daojun needs to do is to make this cake bigger.

This way, there will be more choices and fewer disputes among people competing for the cake.

This is a side effect, and what Daojun really wants to do is to open up a broader future, make the path of cultivation broader, and return the world to the time before the end of the law. In addition, he also firmly closed the coffin lids of gods, Buddhas, demons, and monsters.

He may have done this in order to demonstrate the Dao Fruit, or he may have had other purposes, but his actions have indeed been clearly explained.

As for the casualties caused by this change, Daojun cares, but also doesn't care.

Moreover, change does not necessarily have only a bad side, it also has a good side.

It is difficult to judge such a person simply as good or bad, and it is also difficult to judge him using universal moral standards.

'Is this the Supreme Forgetfulness?'

Jiang Li didn’t know how to call this state of mind of the Taoist Master, but he knew how terrifying or powerful the Taoist Master with this state of mind was.

What is scary is not the damage he might cause, but his strength.

A strong state of mind will certainly harness strong power.

"Fellow Taoist, please."

There was no strange expression on Daojun's face, as if what he had said before were just trivial matters, and he just handed over the tea in his hand.

Jiang Li took the tea and could still feel the warmth, but what he felt more deeply was the concept contained in the tea.

Sort out the clear from the turbid, and then separate the yin and yang.

This is how tea can be used to describe people.

Jiang Li looked at the bowl of tea, his gaze lingering on the clear, turbid, black and white for a moment, then he slowly picked it up and drank it all.
