Qin Luo nodded.

"I still feel like I'm in a bad state. Without someone reminding me, I can sleep until noon. I just can't manage to go to bed early and get up early." Ziyue sighed, feeling that she was very stupid.

Jin Yan, who is able to go to bed early and get up early, asked with a puzzled look, "Senior brother, what is awakening the true self?"

Qin Luo smiled gently, "To awaken oneself is to recognize one's own existence, to sit in meditation and observe oneself, and to see oneself clearly."

Jin Yan seemed to understand, but not quite.

"Haha, I think I'll just keep doing the laundry." Zi Yue didn't understand what her senior brother was saying.

After the government lifted the ban on Longhu Temple, people began to come to Longhu Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings. Qin Luo and his group became busy, and the market at the foot of the mountain became lively again.

The little dumpling found the Taoist temple boring.

It wandered around in the mountains.

...

evening.

After the people who had offered incense and prayed for blessings left.

Ziyue and Jinyan were having porridge in the backyard.

Qin Luo said with a smile, "I'm going to Black Mountain. You all stay at the Taoist temple and cultivate diligently."

Zi Yue blinked her bright eyes. "Senior brother, can I go with you?"

"OK."

Qin Luo nodded.

Montenegro is not far away.

You can take your junior sister to broaden her horizons.

"Junior brother, are you going or not?"

"Senior brothers, you may go."

Jin Yan felt that he had entered the Taoist temple late and his cultivation level was low. He wanted to work hard to cultivate and did not want to hold others back.

Qin Luo then took Zi Yue to Black Mountain.

Ziyue held the peach wood sword made by her senior brother, chopping at the wild grass and flowers by the roadside, humming a little tune.

"Boss."

The little dumpling descended from the sky, looking curious. "Are you going to Black Mountain? There are many important people there."

"That's right."

Qin Luo nodded.

The little dumpling stood on Qin Luo's shoulder, its red ahoge swaying. "While they're not home, I'm going to steal...some medicinal herbs."

Qin Luo grabbed the little dumpling's tuft of hair, "If you dare to do anything bad, see how I deal with you."

"Boss, I was wrong."

The little dumpling immediately admitted defeat.

Sunset and moonrise.

In Chenjiagou, the sounds of chickens and dogs could be heard everywhere.

Chen Chang'an stood at the foot of Black Mountain, waiting respectfully.

"Brother Qin."

Qin Luo nodded with a smile.

Zi Yue also saw Chen Chang'an.

Who are you?

"I am Chen Chang'an, the mountain god of Black Mountain."

Zi Yue raised an eyebrow, a sweet smile on her face. "I know you. I've been to your house for a banquet."

"..."

Chen Chang'an was at a loss for words.

Ziyue suddenly thought of something, and she scratched her head awkwardly, wishing she could dig a hole in it with her toes.

"Brother Qin, the local deity of Mirror Lake and the others are all on the mountain," Chen Chang'an said with a smile.

Qin Luo nodded. "Let's go."

Zi Yue sensed it was a very exciting gathering, and she followed closely behind her senior brother, wanting to join in the fun.

In front of the mountain god temple.

Qin Luo saw some familiar figures, such as the Earth God of Mirror Lake and the Earth God of Twin Rivers, as well as Xiong Shan, but he had never seen the other land gods and spirits before.

The little dumpling fell silent, as if startled.

This was the first time it had ever seen so many big shots.

These guys are much stronger than golden eagles.

After receiving a stick of incense from Qin Luo, the land god of Shuanghe now resembled a normal old man, with a kind face, white hair, and a youthful appearance. He leaned on his cane and stepped forward, smiling at Ziyue, "Little fairy, I watched you grow up. You used to come here often to get food when you were little."

Zi Yue blinked, then suddenly realized something. "Grandpa, are you the local earth god of Shuanghe Village?"

"It's me."

The land god of Shuanghe laughed heartily.

Zi Yue pursed her lips shyly and said respectfully, "Grandpa Earth, I was ignorant before. I will buy you lots of food from now on. What do you like to eat?"

"It's alright."

"It's a waste if you don't eat it."

The land god of Shuanghe had a kind smile on his face.
