Jieyang Mountain is located at the easternmost part of Linjiang County in the Dali Dynasty.
If you use the earth escape technique to travel, it will only take half a day to reach this mountain from Xingfu Town, but it will take three days if you walk.
Zhang Ling transformed into a young man in gray clothes, holding a folding fan in his hand, with the breeze blowing on his sleeves, and wandered among the mountains, rivers, forests and waters in the grasslands where roses were flying.
Watch the mountain elks drinking from the spring and savor the fragrance of the grass fruit and mangosteen.
The refreshing natural scent makes people feel refreshed.
——
While passing through a wilderness, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.
In the previous second, Zhang Ling was walking alone in the suburbs, and in the next second, he heard the noisy and bustling voices of people.
In the haze, it seemed as if I had entered some secret place.
Take a closer look: before your eyes you will see a scene of tall buildings with luxurious gates and bustling crowds of people.
Illusion?
He counted with his fingers and moved his mind slightly, but he didn't find any demonic aura.
How strange!
Zhang Ling blended in calmly and passed by passers-by. Suddenly, he felt something was strange: these people had strong yang energy and vigorous vitality, and were basically real mortals.
When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on.
He was convinced that this was a wasteland and the prosperous scene before him was a false illusion.
Zhang Ling continued walking forward and was stopped when he passed by a wealthy family: "You have come from afar and must be hungry. Why don't you come to my house and have a good meal!"
The person who was speaking looked to be in his twenties or thirties, tall and thin, with a pointed face and monkey-like features, and his two red cheeks were particularly conspicuous.
"Monkey?" Although Zhang Ling did not have the Fiery Eyes of Gold, if the other party's cultivation level was low, he could still see through the true form at a glance.
Hmm? No! There's not a trace of demonic aura on this monkey.
While Zhang Ling was thinking, he had some tendentious guesses: Maybe its origin was not a real monkey, but a spiritual creature like the essence of the sun and the moon. This kind of spiritual creature was born and raised by nature, and was very beautiful. Although they generally had no intention of harming people, they were always a little weird and elusive.
A sacred invitation meant they were destined to be together. Zhang Ling had absolutely no reason to refuse: "Better to obey than to be respectful!"
As soon as I entered the house, I found that a banquet had already been set up in the main wing with three doors. There were about dozens of people drinking and chatting. The table was filled with meat such as chicken, duck, goose, pork, lamb, and beef, and there were also fruit snacks to relieve the greasiness after the meal.
Zhang Ling understood clearly that these diners were real mortals, but the food on the table was transformed from spiritual energy.
There will be no harm for ordinary people to eat it. Instead, it will prolong their life and make them strong.
"Please sit here!"
"Sit here!"
Everyone was particularly enthusiastic about Zhang Ling, and they all made room for him and invited him sincerely.
"good!"
Zhang Ling found a place to sit down, raised his glass and drank with everyone. After the cool drink went down his stomach, he felt abundant spiritual energy surging in his body.
What a generous deal!
This monkey must have used some high-quality spiritual objects as the source, otherwise Zhang Ling would not have felt such abundant spiritual energy.
This made me even more certain of my guess that the monkey in front of me must be a spiritual creature from heaven and earth.
There is a moment when you want to take this spiritual object for yourself.
But Zhang Ling immediately dismissed the idea. Such a divine creation born from nature has countless eyes watching it from behind. If he rashly robs the goods and steals the treasures, he will be held accountable sooner or later!
Moreover, cultivating immortals requires fate. Zhang Ling is no longer a mortal, but an immortal, and should have the demeanor and pattern of an immortal.
It’s better to make a good relationship so that you will have something to think about when you meet again in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ling took out a few huge peaches from his arms. They were picked from Taohua Temple earlier. Although they were ordinary fruits, they were of excellent quality, sweet and juicy, soft and smooth, just right to be used as a return gift.
After all, spiritual creatures are naturally alert. If you send some magical items for no reason, it will definitely make the other party alert and suspicious. First, they will doubt whether their true identity has been seen through, and their sense of crisis will greatly increase; second, they will doubt whether the other party has ulterior motives and wants to take the opportunity to get closer to them, which is an improper idea.
Sure enough, the monkey took the peach from Zhang Ling's hand and was immediately delighted. He scratched his ears and cheeks, took big bites of the peach, and made a few happy monkey calls from time to time.
In a moment, the whole room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and the relaxed and joyful atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax.
Half an hour later, someone asked Zhang Ling where he came from and where he was going.
Zhang Ling replied, "I have been in Beijing for five years as a businessman, and now I am ready to return home in glory."
As soon as these words were spoken, someone suddenly started crying, and everyone asked why.
The weeping man replied, "I have been away from home for a hundred years. Now, as I drink and chat with you all, I can't help but feel homesick. I miss my gray-haired mother and my poor wife and children. They long for me to return home in glory day and night, but I am so happy here that I don't want to leave. I am filled with sorrow."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. Only one or two or three people could be heard crying in sympathy, while some people had red eyes and were secretly wiping away tears.
"After a hundred years of youth, my family members are no longer with us. As a man of seven feet, I have never fulfilled my filial duties. I am ashamed."
As soon as he finished speaking, the banquet was filled with crying, and everyone hugged each other and poured out their heartfelt feelings.
Zhang Ling drank and ate silently, and couldn't help but think about whether his parents in his previous life were doing well now.
Although he has become an immortal now, he is still alone, wandering in this world like a rootless duckweed.
"Bang!"
The monkey slammed his palm on the table, his face displeased, and said, "What good is there in the human world? You're all like immortals here, with fine wine and delicious food, and you can go fishing and playing chess in groups of three or five. There's no music to disturb your ears, no paperwork to tire you out, and yet you're treated well!"
Everyone was silent, the cries gradually fading. Then one man stood up, bowed, and said, "Noisy Monkey, I once vowed to travel the world with my sword, to see the prosperity of the world. Five years ago, I stumbled upon this place, lost in pleasure, and lost my will. Today, I feel the guidance of an immortal, and I have awakened. I am leaving now!"
