Strange Stories

Chapter 537: Why did Yaohua come here?
Several people walked along the stream. At first they could stand upright, but soon they bent down because of the steep mountain. When they reached the end of the stream, they walked along the steep mountain, almost parallel to the hanging waterfall. At this time, the bodies of the three people were basically parallel to the ground, which looked quite strange under the moonlight.

As I walked past the ancient trees protruding from the cliff, past the huge falcon's nest hanging on the protruding part of the cliff, and through the sparse clouds halfway up the mountain, I felt that the bright moon above my head was getting closer and closer.

The mountain at night was just a dim silhouette, and the three men in their Taoist robes stood out.

There was also a fox and a sparrow flying beside it.

As for the small dog, it was not strong enough to climb up the cliff, so Lin Jue put it into a cloth bag.

Gradually we reached the end of the waterfall.

It was a spring in the upper half of the mountain. The spring reflected the moonlight and emitted the sunset glow, which was orange-red almost red.

"This is Chiquan, right?"

Lin Jue bent down. The spring water was clearly glowing, and it actually reflected his shadow.

Soon, a white fox's head appeared next to it, followed by the reflections of the eldest brother, the younger sister and the colorful cat.

But their reflections in the water are all of their youth.

Lin Jue's face had not changed much, except that his face looked less weathered, and his features and eyebrows looked more youthful. He was still wearing the Taoist robe. When he lived in the cottage at the foot of the mountain, he deliberately grew a long beard so that people would not recognize him. Now his face was clean in the reflection.

The junior sister next to him was similar to him, with no major changes in appearance, except that her features and eyebrows had become younger. At a glance, Lin Jue was reminded of her when his fellow junior brothers had just come down the mountain.

"Junior sister..."

"Senior brother..."

The two were surprised almost at the same time.

The fox next to him also opened his eyes wide, then stretched out a round, fluffy, white paw and pointed at the spring water:
"New you!"

"What do you mean by 'new you'?"

“It’s a bit old now!”

The two wanted to refute, but they kept their mouths shut.

Because it is.

Foxes speak without restraint and say whatever comes to mind. Although the description is a bit strange, it is very appropriate.

As for other words like "green", "weathered", "traces of time", etc., none of them are as appropriate as these two new and old.

The two looked at each other and then looked at the eldest brother.

The eldest brother has changed a lot.

He was practicing in seclusion on Mount Fuqiu. He did not have the good fortune like Lin Jue and his junior sister who ate so many immortal fruits and made rapid progress in cultivation. He also did not deliberately take pills to maintain his appearance. Now he was over sixty years old, but looked like a middle-aged man in his forties. However, because he was honest, he looked older.

Reflected in the spring water is a young man in his early twenties.

He has a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he looks honest, very friendly and quite interesting.

"I didn't expect that Senior Brother looked like this when he was young." Lin Jue said with a smile, "Senior Brother should have been 40 years old when we went up the mountain, but he looks like he is already 30 years old. I have never seen him like this before."

"Senior Brother looks..."

The junior sister didn’t know what to say for a moment, so she could only scratch her head and giggle.

Actually, I don’t have any opinion, but it always feels a little strange to see someone who was so familiar to me suddenly have a new look.

"who is this?"

The fox pointed at the water and asked.

"It's just skin."

The eldest brother said very calmly.

Only the catfish and the fox remained unchanged.

Because the colorful beaver matured early, it has maintained the appearance of its youth. Even if there are slight changes, they are not visible to humans. Only another cat can see them.

The fox has a special bloodline, and these twenty years are not enough time for it to grow up. It has not even reached adulthood, so naturally there is no change.

"Wow..."

A hand broke the smooth surface of the spring water, and the reflection in the water was also broken.

"Let me have a taste first."

Lin Jue scooped up a handful of water with a rosy glow and put it into his mouth.

White smoke was rising from the water, which looked like steam rising from a hot spring and the chill of a cold pond, but it was just spiritual energy. It tasted cool, sweet and refreshing when you drank it.

"Um……"

Lin Jue tasted it, then scooped up another handful and took a big sip with a slurp.

"Sweet! Full of spirit! Delicious! It seems to have no other effect except to make people young and youthful. You can drink some too."

"Then I'll have a drink too!"

The junior sister also bent down, without hesitation, letting her hair fall, scooped up a handful of water and brought it to her mouth.

Taste the fairy spring in the fairy tale, experience the taste of immortality after drinking the fairy spring, and you will feel like you have entered the fairy tale.

The colorful beaver cautiously approached the spring and put its mouth down.

When Lin Jue looked at his own fox, he saw that it had already reached the spring before the colorful cat, and walked a step down, stretched its neck and stuck out its tongue.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Fuyao, don't drink!"

Lin Jue shouted quickly.

"Huh?" The fox tilted its head to look at him, with a drop of water dripping from its mouth. It looked puzzled, "Why don't you give the fox water? They all drank it!"

"You are young."

"Why can't the little one drink?"

"Be careful not to drink too much or you won't grow up!"

"The fox has grown up!"

The fox, with a rebellious heart, lowered his head and smacked his lips twice.

Then he raised his head and pretended to say:
"I'm full!" "You..."

"me……"

"Where's Senior Brother?" Lin Jue looked at the eldest senior brother and said with a smile, "Senior Brother, don't you want to drink?"

"Forget it. Although eternal youth is attractive, it's also quite strange for me to suddenly turn back into a twenty-year-old. I'm afraid my disciples will be surprised when I go back."

The senior brother shook his head and said.

I think he knows his heart very well, there is no hesitation on his face, just ask him again:
"Is it possible to take this spring water back with me?"

"It should be possible, but this unique spiritual charm will dissipate quickly, so we need to use the bottle that Second Senior Brother gave us." Lin Jue said, "If we only use the simple collection method to preserve it, we must take it back as soon as possible for the disciples to drink after we go out."

"Then I'll put some on."

The eldest brother took out the gourd from his waist.

"I'll pretend a little too."

When the two men were pressing the gourd into the spring water and seeing bubbles bubbling, the fox and the cat suddenly turned their heads and looked at the mountains behind them.

The three of them also felt a little vibration.

"Rumble..."

The tremor seemed to come from behind the mountain.

With a swish, the fox turned into a white shadow and disappeared!

The colorful cat accompanied it and also turned into a sparrow and flew away.

"Gurgling..."

Lin Jue withdrew his gaze and continued to fill the water.

He filled a whole gourd and used the sealing method in the Gathering Method to seal the spiritual energy, which worked to some extent. He then put it away, stood up and looked towards the top of the mountain.

The white shadow flew back quickly.

The fox looked up with a serious expression:
"The mountain stood up!"

Just one sentence describes the wonder of the fairy mountain.

Not long after, three people, a fox and a cat stood on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance.

That's behind the mountain.

It is obvious that there is no human world behind the mountain. The villages, fields and official roads that should have been behind "Fei Lai Mountain" have all disappeared. Instead, there are thousands of mountains like the mountain under your feet - some have relatively smooth but towering peaks, some are as sharp as swords, and some have sharp edges and corners of rocks. They are all small, densely packed, with thousands of peaks forming a forest, and there is no end in sight.

The bright moon hung in the sky, the shadows of the mountains extended to the horizon, herds of cultivated horses galloped across the sky, huge phoenixes flapped their wings in the sky, and even feathered serpents flew towards the Moon Palace.

There was a tallest mountain, slowly rising from the ground.

It was at least two or three hundred feet high. Compared with it, the True Lord Ji Ling who used the Great Ruyi looked like a baby.

A mountain really stood up!

The junior sister and the senior brother were both amazed.

The fox and the raccoon were also stunned.

Especially the little sister——

She was the one who specialized in the art of crushing stones and had mastered this magic to perfection. When they were defending the city outside Modu Mountain in the southeast of Qinzhou, the stone giants who were originally coming with great momentum could sense their own demise as soon as they saw her and turned around and left without hesitation. However, she was still stunned when she saw this stone giant who was as big as a mountain.

Only the only immortal present looked calm and even pointed into the distance.

There stood a towering tree that was almost level with the bright moon. Its trunk was straight and there were no branches below. Only a cluster of branches and leaves on the top made it look like a bird's nest.

At this time, a huge and dull voice came from a distance:
"Yaohua came here again... to take revenge on Tianweng... or to find a chance to make a comeback..."

Every sound was like a mountain collapsing and a meteorite falling to the ground.

It was so loud that I couldn't even hear what it was saying.

"Your Excellency has misunderstood!" Lin Jue stood on the top of the mountain and saluted, "This is not Empress Yaohua, but her descendant, a nine-tailed fox that I raised since childhood, named Fuyao. We came here just to ask for a few phoenix feathers."

"Yaohua...how can there be any descendants..."

"Just because there wasn't one before doesn't mean there won't be one later. Hundreds of years have passed in the outside world, and even the Tianweng from back then has been replaced by a new one."

"It's the Skyweng again..."

"Exactly."

Obviously, this person is not that Tianweng, but the spirit of the Tianweng's former dojo.

That is the mountain spirit of Yuanqiu Mountain.

The saying that "If one person attains enlightenment, all his family members will ascend to heaven" is indeed true. He is worthy of being called Tianweng. Even the place where he practices has gained spirituality because of him and gave birth to such a being.

Lin Jue still bowed respectfully:

"It was just a few years ago. The current Lord of the Nine Heavens is the former Emperor Zixu from the north."

“Zi Xu…”

The huge mountain giant paused, as if reminiscing a little, but it seemed that its brain was not working well and its wisdom was very limited. When it turned its head and looked down at the people here again, its eyes were as bright as gold stars, and it spoke again and asked in a deep voice:

"Why did Yaohua come here...? Did she come here to provoke and retaliate after seeing Tianweng resign?"

"Your Excellency has misunderstood."

Lin Jue was about to explain again when a crow with a human face suddenly flew by under the moon and shouted:

"Steal fruit! Steal fruit!"

When the mountain giant heard this, he became furious.

The golden light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, so bright that it was as bright as Lin Jue's "dazzling golden light" even at such a distance.

Several people bent down and raised their sleeves to cover themselves.
