I watched the young Taoist priest getting closer and closer in the rain and fog.

The powerful spirits from all sides of this mountain looked at his back and whispered to each other:

"Is that young Taoist priest the reason for the big commotion just now?"

"It's impossible. It's absolutely impossible."

An old man who was no more than five feet tall and had a beard that dragged on the ground stroked his long beard and waved a wooden stick in his hand to express his opinion: "The momentum just now was as if the heaven and earth were about to be overturned. Not to mention an old pine tree like me, which was blown to the point of spiritual closure and loss of five senses, even the mountain gods were blown shut and the land was blown away."

"Even the door curtain was blown upside down."

"Upside down!"

"It's so ridiculous that even the old man laughed."

"With that kind of noise, I'm afraid something happened in the sky. This kid must have just happened to be there."

"May I ask, what is the approximate location of this place?"

“I’m a little lost.”

"Oh, this is the location of the Zuodao Juyun Peak in Zhongzhou Prefecture."

The old pine tree spirit answered subconsciously, then was stunned, wondering where this person asking for directions came from. He looked up and saw the young Taoist looking at him with a gentle brow. He bent slightly when asking, holding an umbrella with gentle eyes. After hearing the answer, he said thank you, turned and left. The old pine tree had a dull look on its face, as if it was frightened.

All the spirits in this place were "scared".

In other words, you look at me and I look at you, and it's so awkward.

Even the Taoists with high cultivation levels could not hear their whispers, only the mountain gods and earth gods could hear them.

How could this little Taoist priest hear it?

I said bad things about people behind their backs, and was heard, and was asked for directions.

This is so embarrassing.

Look, even the pine bark of my old uncle who is hundreds of years old can't stand it.

Everyone was holding back their laughter.

Qi Wuhuo had the jade book given by Tao Taigong. He held up an umbrella with one hand and took out the jade book with the other hand. He pinched his fingers and made a gesture to make the jade book float in front of him. The book floated in front of him and turned the pages. Golden words flowed and glowed on the jade pages. In just a moment, he saw the location of Juyun Peak.

So you can find the general direction.

The spirits of these mountain creatures transformed into the appearance of human children, but their sizes were much smaller.

They seemed to be spirits of plants and trees, extremely happy in the rain, with arms spread out. The young man was walking on the mountain path holding an umbrella. There were tall trees on both sides and the road was paved with stones, which became quiet after being washed by the rain. On both sides of the umbrella, the spirits that were invisible to the naked eye were rising and falling, some lying on the umbrella, and some bravely sitting on the boy's shoulders.

The young Taoist had his black hair tied up with a wooden hairpin, held an umbrella in his left hand, and made hand gestures with his right hand.

A book was unfolded in front of him, and the words emitted a golden glow, floating forward as the young man walked.

The spirit asked curiously: "You can hear us talking, are you a god?"

The boy was looking for a way out while answering, "Me? I'm not a deity. It's hard to be a deity."

“I don’t know if I can get to that point in my lifetime.”

"Maybe not in the next life."

The goblins asked with anticipation and curiosity: "Eh? Have you ever seen a god?!"

The young Taoist thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I have never seen a [goddess]."

So the monsters said happily: "We have met before!"

"If you have seen the mountain god, you have also seen the land god!"

"There are also sisters and uncles who come here in the wind and rain, there are spirits in the trees, there are many, many more, and there are also the city gods and generals in the city, they are all gods!"

"Although I only saw it from a distance."

“But I saw it!”

"You have to work harder too."

He reached out his hand and patted Qi Wuhuo's black hair as if to comfort him. The young Taoist smiled and said:

"Yeah, it's amazing."

After thinking for a while, he reached out and took out some pine nuts and said, "This is a gift from my friend. Do you want some?"

Several spirits looked at each other and were a little wary at first.

But the aura of this young man was very clear, and coupled with the smell of the food, they couldn't help but feel happy and excited about being fed, and they all went up to get the food to eat.

A little spirit that looked like a mountain elf sat in Qi Wuhuo's hand. Seeing the jade book, he said, "Oh, this is the biggest city in Zhongzhou. There are so many people in it. I remember that the osmanthus cake in it is delicious. Every year, people dressed in gorgeous clothes come to the mountain to offer sacrifices. At that time, we can secretly eat some."

"Yes, that's right!"

"Inside is the biggest city god, and a general with fangs and armor."

"Are you going here? What are you going to do?"

Qi Wuhuo thought about it.

What to do in Zhongzhou City?

Suddenly leaving my teacher, the world was vast, but I also felt confused as all the choices were up to me.

Naturally, I won’t mention the daily practice of breathing exercises.

Now that I'm here, I naturally have to look for clues about the Mingzhen Taoist Alliance.

To fulfill the wishes of those who were harmed by the evil cultivator Tan Tai Xuan.

She brushed the mirror hidden at her waist again, and thought of the rare opportunity to play with her peers, a smile forming on her lips.

I also need to go ask that know-it-all where her home is.

Of course, there is one last thing, which is what the old man asked him to do before he left. At this moment, there are two jade slips with names erased in his sleeves. One of them belongs to Senior Sister Yu Miao, and the other belongs to a senior brother. That senior brother is in the same situation as Senior Sister Yu Miao, but unlike Senior Sister Yu Miao who still has to wait for another five hundred years, this senior brother’s deadline has already arrived, so the old man asked him to find this person.

According to the teacher, that senior brother had been meditating for a thousand years because of his mental disorder.

Have qualifications, foundation, and supreme heart of Tao.

If you don't change your mind for a moment, you will fall into obsession.

Asking Qi Wuhuo to find him and bring him back is a test for him to travel the world, and it is also an opportunity for his senior brother.

So the young man thought about it and answered, "I want to find someone."

"Looking for someone?"

The spirits in the mountains looked at each other. The little man rubbed his hands and said, "Finding people is what we are best at!"

"We've eaten your pine nuts and are now friends. Who are you looking for?"

"Hey, leave it to us!"

"No matter how hard it is to find someone, we can find them for you!"

"Just, just add a little bit of pine nuts. If it's best, the kind fried in syrup would be great!"

The mountain spirits are chirping.

Innocent and romantic.

The old pine tree, who had been heard saying bad things about others before, was also behind. He pricked up his ears and coughed when he heard what was said.

"I have lived for a long time, almost five hundred years! Five hundred years!"

"So, there are quite a few things I know."

Qi Wuhuo recalled the old man's instructions, raised his hand, and took back the jade book, which flew into his sleeve.

He held up pine nuts in his right hand, letting the spirits sit in his palm and stuff the nuts into their mouths. He said gently, "Look for a senior brother of mine. He has been sitting in meditation for many years."

Because if the old man doesn't recognize them, all disciples will not reveal their master's teachings.

Therefore, it is fine to call him senior brother; it will not reveal your origins.

"His surname is Lu."

"Daoist name, Chunyang."

In the past, the spirits in the mountains loved to run around in the mountains, and occasionally they would go to the city to play, but they practiced the pure and upright way of cultivation. Even the judges of the underworld who always had a gloomy face were willing to pick out some osmanthus cakes from the tribute and tease these little guys.

Although he is weak in strength, he has a wide circle of friends.

But they don't know either.

The old pine tree, who had lived for five hundred years, did not know the name, but seemed to have heard it somewhere before. He felt embarrassed because he could not answer the big talk. He made a plan in his heart and decided to ask the mountain god after he came back from his cave. So he pretended to be indifferent and stroked his beard and said:

"Oh, Lu Chunyang, Lu Chunyang..."

"Yes, yes."

"Ahem, but, little Taoist priest, why are you looking for him?"

The old pine tree thought clearly and decided to deal with the problem first so that he could ask the mountain god for advice later.

If that doesn't work, there are better ones.

The largest mountain in Zhongzhou, its god can be called [Gong], who is the God of Zhongzhou, compassionate and merciful, and gathers clouds and spirits.

So it’s okay, everyone can ask.

Then he saw the young Taoist stop and look back. Under the rain, he had some Taoist elegance. The sound of rain was soft and gentle. He answered:

"I follow the master's orders."

"Take him to the path of Tao."
