Nangong Yunxue and Liu Hao both looked at Nangong Jiu.
"Jiu'er, you're not in the right mood, what's going on?
And that Taoist priest, he took such good care of us, did he know our identities?"
Nangong Jiu nodded and then shook his head.
[You've seen the statues in the main hall of the Taoist temple this morning. Do they look familiar to you?]
Nangong Yunxue and Liu Hao both nodded: "It does feel familiar."
Nangong Jiu sniffed.
[That was my predecessor, Taoist Master Qingchen of the Taoist temple. He was my disciple in the mortal world!]
[In the morning, he told me that he had found a suitable successor and wanted me to meet my disciple. We might have to stay in the Taoist temple for a while.]
Nangong Yunxue was completely petrified.
Liu Hao gently stroked her back and called her repeatedly before she regained consciousness.
"No wonder I felt familiar with that statue. That's why."
"But why do they call you Jiu Jun?"
Nangong Jiu sniffed again.
My name above is also Nangong Jiu, the empress of the four seas and eight wastelands of the heavenly realm. Therefore, they call me Jiujun to show their closeness.
[This Taoist temple was built by me and my disciple.]
[At the highest point of the Taoist temple is where I used to rest. Wait a moment, I'll take you there.]
【By the way, these things, just the two of you need to know. 】
Nangong Jiu's words contained so much information that Liu Hao and Nangong Yunxue could only nod woodenly.
Empress?
No wonder Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing protected him from the moment he was born.
This Taoist temple was actually built by Jiuer and her apprentice.
Perhaps it was because of this bond that there was an invisible force that brought this group of people to Lingyin Mountain.
Nangong Yunxue held Nangong Jiu tightly in her arms.
Nangong Jiu pressed his face against his mother's chest, and it took him a long time to calm down his complicated emotions.
Jiujun Pavilion.
At the highest point of Lingyin Temple, there is a pavilion that has been hidden behind a restriction for many years.
Nangong Jiu brought Nangong Yunxue and Liu Hao to the path leading to the pavilion.
What comes into view is a steep cliff.
"Jiu'er, did you live here before? How can you live on such a steep cliff?"
Nangong Jiu waved his hand lightly and the restriction was lifted.
I saw that the previous cliff suddenly turned into a pavilion with carved beams and painted rafters.
"Is this your handwriting?"
[Well, let’s go in! ]
After Nangong Yunxue carried Nangong Jiu and walked up the path leading to the pavilion with Liu Hao and Xiao Wang, Nangong Jiu waved his hand again and restored the restriction.
[Only my disciples and I can enter here.]
As everyone got closer, they saw that the pavilion was surrounded by clusters of flowers and the pavilion was brightly colored, as if it had been newly built.
[My disciple is thoughtful and has taken good care of this place for me.]
Walking into the pavilion, Nangong Jiu took a deep breath of comfort as he saw the bright windows and clean desks.
[The first floor is for daily activities, the second floor is for rest, and the third floor is for cultivation. This mountaintop is rich in spiritual energy and is very suitable for cultivation.]
Nangong Jiu got down from Nangong Yunxue, climbed onto Xiao Wang's back, and took everyone to see the floor one by one.
Go to the third floor and open the door.
In the middle of the room, there was a large, flat black stone. Above the stone, there was a crystal stone emitting a light green light.
Xiao Wang walked to the big black rock and lay down. Nangong Jiu slid down to the ground, climbed onto the black rock and sat down cross-legged.
Liu Hao walked forward and touched the black stone, only to feel a warm heat flowing into his palm.
"Jiu'er, what kind of stone is this? It actually generates heat."
Nangong Jiu smiled slightly and let Xiao Wang answer instead.
"Ancient meteorite! The one above is a spiritual stone. The abundant spiritual energy in this room comes from it. If you're interested, you can sit on it and try it out.
Even though you don't practice Taoism, it will still be helpful for practicing martial arts."
Liu Hao sat on it and tried it as he was told. He felt as if his whole body had become lighter and more comfortable.
"These meteorites and spirit stones were brought back from the Magic Forest during my travels. They have been of great help to my cultivation."
"Then if you bring them back to the capital, can't you practice with them every day?"
Nangong Jiu shook his head.
"Life in the capital is okay, but it's not very suitable for cultivation."
Liu Hao was stunned for a moment before he smiled and nodded, "Indeed, the chaos of worldly affairs in the capital city makes it difficult for cultivators to concentrate on their cultivation."
In the evening.
Everyone came out of the pavilion.
The Taoists brought delicious vegetarian food again, and replaced it with two other dishes for Nangong Jiu.
Nangong Jiu ate happily.
My disciple still understands me.
After dinner, Nangong Jiu rode Xiao Wang again to Taoist Master Qingchen’s meditation room.
Taoist Qingchen was happily fiddling with some colorful spirit stones.
"Jiu Jun, are the dishes made by Qingchen to your liking?"
"I like it very much. Your cooking skills have improved a lot."
"In recent years, Qingchen has had nothing to do, and this is the only hobby I have."
Nangong Jiu praised, "In the afternoon, I went to Jiujun Pavilion. Qingchen, you have managed Jiujun Pavilion very well over the years."
"It's not intentional. Qingchen missed Jiujun, so he went to Jiujun Pavilion to stay for a while."
Nangong Jiu looked at the spirit stones his disciple was fiddling with: "Do you still keep these stones?"
"Of course I have to keep it. Wuwang asked for it several times, but Qingchen was reluctant to give it to him."
What Jiujun gave was his own wish, how could he give it to others so easily?
Taoist Qingchen thought of something and quickly opened a secret chamber and took out a box.
"Jiu Jun, look!"
"What is it that you are so precious about?"
Taoist Qingchen opened the box carefully.
There was a small bronze bell in the box.
"Hey, isn't this the demon-snatching bell I made to exorcise demons? Where did you get it?"
"Qingchen obtained it from an antique dealer during his travels to the North Moon border.
At that time, the bell was so rusty that its original appearance could not be seen. Qingchen only recognized it from the word "nine" on its inside.
Nangong Jiu picked up the bell and turned it over and over to look at it carefully.
"Strange, shouldn't it be with the Dragon Roar Sword? How did it end up in the mortal world?
I have said before that I would give this magic weapon to your disciple.
Now that you have found the successor, I will fulfill my promise and give it to him as a gift."
"Jiu Jun, you don't have any useful magical weapons right now. Why don't you keep them for now and give them to him when you return to heaven?"
Nangong Jiu smiled and waved his hand.
“Although my cultivation is not high now, monsters and ordinary people can’t do anything to me. This bell is of little use to me, so I’d better give it to your disciple.
By the way, you said you got this bell from the North Moon border?"
“Yes, the vendor said, it was obtained by a cultivator from the Longkong Mountains.
They said the monk had taken several similar items and sold all the others, but this bell looked ordinary, so no one wanted it.
"Longkong Mountains? Isn't that where the Magic Forest is?"
