Chapter 88: The Immortal Goes Up the Mountain
In winter, Mount Longhu is shrouded in fog and mist.
Gauze-like clouds flow across the entire mountain, ethereal and light, slowly creeping up the mountaintops, wrapping the forests in a layer of thin, hazy veil. In the sunlight, the clouds, peaks, and Luxi River are hazy and dreamy, forming a beautiful landscape painting.
Early in the morning, it should be the time to recite scriptures and chant Taoism.
However, at this moment, countless Taoist priests and Taoist ladies dressed in monastic robes and flowery clothes were standing at the gate of Tianshi Mansion in Longhushan Town.
Most of them are very old, with white hair on their temples like winter snow.
Of course, there are also some younger Taoists wearing formal Taoist robes.
On this side stood Zhang Tianshi of Zhengyi Sect, and on that side stood Li Daochang, the head of Quanzhen Sect.
There are also Taoist Priest Yang of Maoshan Sect, Taoist Priest Xuan of Tianyi Sect of Shenxiao Sect, Taoist Priest Xu of Quanzhen Longmen Sect, Taoist Priest Chen of Laoshan Sect, Taoist Priest Liu of Qingcheng Sect, Taoist Priest Zhang of Bixia Temple of Mount Tai, and so on.
There are also some other Taoist priests.
At a glance, there were almost hundreds of Taoists gathered here.
These people are all highly respected and virtuous people in Taoism.
But at this moment, they were all looking forward to the direction of the highway.
"Has the real person not arrived yet?"
"He arrived at Yingtan yesterday, so he should come to visit today."
"Could it be that we got up too early and the real one hasn't gotten up yet?"
"I don't know. Anyway, I just want to see the real person now."
The Taoists were very excited.
More than a month ago, some of them heard from various channels that a real person had appeared out of nowhere.
At that time, many people thought it was fake and did not take it seriously.
However, with the Yu Shan incident, everyone realized that the real person's rebirth was not fake.
At that time, the entire Taoism was in an uproar.
Many people are eager to catch up with Shangrao and trace the real person's footsteps.
However, the Taoist Association spread the news that the Taoist master had promised to climb Mount Longhu on a chosen day, so everyone gave up the idea of paying him a visit.
Who knew that it would take nearly a week to choose a date?
Just when many people were almost losing their patience.
The news finally came out yesterday afternoon that the real person had arrived in Yingtan!
Everyone put on their robes and colorful clothes early this morning and waited, wanting to be the first to see the holy face of the real person.
Time passes by every second.
Soon it was around nine in the morning.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
"You're not coming today, are you?"
Many people were chatting in whispers, and there was inevitably some anxiety in their words.
So do Zhang Tianshi and Li Daochang.
"Tianshi, have you contacted the real person?" Taoist Priest Li frowned and asked, "It's already past nine in the morning, and he hasn't come yet. Is it like what fellow Taoists said, that he won't come today?"
Zhang Tianshi wasn't sure either, as he had never had any contact with the real person.
But his fellow Taoists were all waiting, and he didn't want to discourage them, so he could only comfort them, "He should come, we'll wait a little longer. If he doesn't come before noon, then we'll disperse first."
Taoist Priest Li thought so too and said with a smile: "How can a cultivator like me not have this much patience? Well, let's wait a little longer."
Since the leaders of the Zhengyi and Quanzhen sects were willing to wait, naturally, no one else had any objection.
Unfortunately, they are destined to be disappointed today.
When the sun was high in the sky, there was still no sign of the real person.
Everyone was extremely disappointed.
"Let's go, let's go."
"The real person won't come today."
"Come out and wait tomorrow."
"Alas, we have to wait another day. The most important thing is that we don't know whether the real person will come tomorrow. What if he bypasses Longhu Mountain and goes somewhere else?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Brother Li Dao expressed his wish to visit earlier, and the Immortal Master clearly said that he would come to the Heavenly Master's Mansion. Something might have delayed him a few days ago, but now that he has arrived at Yingtan, he will definitely come."
"Yeah, maybe not today."
"Okay, wait one more day."
Everyone dispersed after talking.
Someone who was staying at the Tianshi Mansion turned around and went in.
Some people also opened hotels nearby and left one after another.
As everyone left, they couldn't help revealing disappointment.
There's no way, everyone wants to see the real person as soon as possible.
But the real person doesn’t show up, what can we do?
…
Near Yuehu City God Temple.
Fang Yi, who is being worried about by everyone, is using his spiritual sense to find out what is going on inside.
There was a young couple, a man and a woman, next to them.
The woman pointed to the sky and said, "Hey, honey, look at the sky today. It's very strange. The clouds are actually purple-red."
The man looked up and asked in surprise, "Isn't it? What's going on?"
Fang Yi, who had just retracted his spiritual sense, glanced at the two of them and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Ever since he used the supernatural power of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun to absorb the Yin and Yang Qi two days ago, his golden elixir has been in a state of "cultivation".
The huge amount of Dan Qi was flowing, and his body was not yet leak-proof, so naturally the Dan Qi would leak out wherever he went, causing some strange phenomena.
But it’s okay, the golden elixir is now more than half “red”.
As long as everything turns red, you will enter the second level of the third turn.
By then, you will have formed a leak-free body and will no longer be like a "beacon" that can be noticed wherever you go.
As for why I came to Chenghuang Temple.
This is because ever since Fang Yi obtained the magical power of "the art of creation" two days ago, he has been eager to find a shrine with relatively weaker strength to see if he can use this magical power to "create" a divine weapon.
I just happened to hear that the City God Temple here was built not too long ago, so I guess the divine domain should not be too strong.
Fang Yi wanted to come and see if he could get a bargain.
Unfortunately, to his disappointment, the statue in the City God Temple did not condense any energy field at all.
On the contrary, Xu Xiaoli, who was standing nearby, was enjoying eating a candied haws in her hand. "Master, do you want to go in and take a look?"
Fang Yi shook his head, "No need."
Xu Xiaoli asked in confusion: "Aren't you happy to hear that this City God Temple is newly built? Why do you suddenly not want to go in?"
"It's worthless."
Fang Yi said something that Xu Xiaoli couldn't understand, then turned around and left.
No value?
Xu Xiaoli really didn't understand what this sentence meant.
Of course Fang Yi would not tell her that this City God Temple had been open for one or two years but had not yet condensed a divine domain, and that he could not use the "art of creation" to evolve a "divine weapon".
The two chatted as they walked.
"Xiao Li, I will officially accept you as my disciple after our trip to Mount Longhu. Thank you for your hard work these days."
"Hehe, following Master around the country is not tiring at all. I like this kind of life."
"You are quite reassuring."
"People need to be free and easy."
"Okay, let's drive the car. We are going to Tianshi Mansion now."
…
It was already evening.
Because the weather is very good today, the sky is full of white clouds.
One look makes you feel relaxed and happy.
Tianshi Mansion.
Zhang Tianshi, Qiu Daochang and Li Daochang were discussing scriptures and doctrines beside the Big Dipper tree.
Taoist Priest Li humbly asked Taoist Priest Qiu for advice: "Teacher, you have studied Taoism very deeply and are a great man. I have a question..."
"etc!"
Taoist Priest Qiu suddenly raised his hand to stop Taoist Priest Li from speaking.
Taoist Priest Li was puzzled for a while, not understanding why Taoist Priest Qiu suddenly became so "rude".
Zhang Tianshi was also quite puzzled. Taoist Qiu was always a very amiable person. Even if Taoist Li was a Quanzhen, he would not lose his manners for this reason.
The two looked at Taoist Qiu and found that his face turned happy.
Just when I didn't know what was going on.
Taoist Priest Qiu suddenly pointed to the sky in the east and said, "Look."
What are you looking at?
Zhang Tianshi and Taoist Priest Li felt puzzled.
But they still looked over.
It’s okay that this doesn’t look good.
Upon seeing it, they were stunned for a moment!
At this moment, purple and red air currents gathered in the eastern sky, almost dyeing the floating clouds purple and red.
Zhang Tianshi was shocked and said: "This... This is the appearance of a saint!"
Taoist Priest Li was also moved and said, "The purple-red air is as mighty as a dragon, rolling for three or four miles. Could it be that a saint is coming?"
It wasn't just the three of them who saw it.
Almost all the Taoists in the Tianshi Mansion looked up and saw the strange sight.
At this moment, purple and red clouds gathered in the sky, with white clouds at the head, presenting a young man's face.
The Taoists immediately realized that a saint had arrived, and they knew that the visitor was the most holy and supreme and definitely not an ordinary god.
The one who sees the vision must be a young saint.
The star Vega is faintly twinkling near the purple and red gases, so the saint must be accompanied by a woman.
Is there a saint visiting at this time?
The Taoists didn't react at first, wondering which saint would choose to descend at dusk?
But suddenly, someone in the crowd suddenly realized and shouted, "The real person! The real person is coming!"
Suddenly, hundreds of Taoists in the Tianshi Mansion were in an uproar.
“The real person is here!”
"Quick! Everyone, put on your robes and colorful clothes to welcome the Holy Father!"
"Don't put on your cassock and flowery clothes, it's too late, go to the door to welcome the saint first!"
"Yes! Yes, yes! Let's go to the door and wait for the real person to arrive!"
The Tianshi Mansion was in a state of complete excitement.
Countless Taoists rushed to the door.
In just a short while, hundreds of Taoists gathered at the door.
They kept looking toward the road ahead, wanting to see when the real person would appear.
At this moment, two figures appeared in front.
The woman on the left is wearing a red down jacket.
Everyone took a quick glance and paid no more attention to him, instead turning their gaze to the young man next to him.
The young man walked slowly, with a Taoist appearance and extraordinary temperament. His every move was in accordance with the Tao, and the smile on his face made people feel deep tranquility and inner peace.
It seemed as if he had merged into nature, and everything he did was in accordance with the Way.
Real person!
It really is Master Fang’s arrival!
Dozens of days and months of longing and dreaming.
Finally, they had waited for the real person to arrive and see his splendor.
In an instant, the Taoists' eyes were filled with tears of excitement.
