Wet viviparity

Chapter 365: Goodwill, Settling Down

Returning to the top of Jiafeng, Ji Ming did not alarm anyone, but even so low-key, he still attracted one person's attention.

In front of a side cliff of Jiafeng, Taihe Zhenren was holding an exquisite ruler in his arm. He hurried up to the cliff platform and then carefully examined the visitor.

"Dragon and Phoenix!"

Master Taihe nodded in praise.

"The real person is ridiculous."

Ji Ming didn't know why this immortal came here to greet him, and for a moment he was actually a little flattered.

Who is this Taihe Zhenren? He is Diaolong Weng’s eldest disciple and one of his only two disciples. He has practiced Taoism for more than 200 years and has already refined a golden elixir, but it has not yet reached top quality.

"Haha~"

Taoist Taihe laughed loudly, grabbed Ji Ming, and reached up to the sky. A cloud bridge dropped down, and its end led to a treasure pavilion on the top of the mountain.

"Don't be discouraged, Jintong. Although the master is a little stubborn, he still loves talents. It's just that he had an unpleasant experience when he was practicing in Heguan in his early years, which made him have some resentment in his heart."

Master Taihe took Ji Ming to the Cloud Bridge and said in a comforting tone, "With your talent, there is really no one else in the Three Peaks and One Prefecture who is qualified to teach you except for someone like Master."

Stepping onto the cloud bridge, Ji Ming suddenly stopped.

"Master, if we are not destined to be together, forget it. This matter cannot be forced."

Taihe Zhenren looked thoughtful and asked, "Doesn't Jintong want to become the disciple of Dragon Diaoweng?"

"No."

Standing on the cloud bridge, Ji Ming overlooked the scenery on the peak.

There are jagged rocks that look like beasts or birds, leaping out alive; winding ancient pines with gleaming golden needles and melodious sound of waves; temples and pagodas on hidden peaks with red walls, golden tiles and flying eaves and pointed corners.

"Buddhism talks about karma. Without karma, it is difficult to practice. I think the same is true for the relationship between master and disciple."

Hearing Ji Ming's words, Master Taihe frowned deeply.

He had been running around a lot for the purpose of Ji Ming's admission. It was not because he had a good impression of Ji Ming, but because he did not want to see his lineage being weaker than that of the old man Zhenhu.

Master Diaolong Weng only accepted two disciples in hundreds of years, namely him and his junior brother.

Back then, not long after the master accepted his disciple, he set the test that "only those who can fish for dragons can become his disciple." He was very happy about this for a long time, thinking that the master would only devote his efforts to him and his disciple from then on.

This is indeed the case, but seeing that Zhenhu Weng had accepted seven disciples in a row and was so powerful on Lingguangjia Peak, I always felt distressed.

Later, after Zhenhu Weng made an exception and accepted Luo Xingshu, he realized that it would be difficult for him and his fellow apprentice to maintain the reputation of "Lingbixiu" alone.

Since he became an alchemist, he has accepted many disciples, but only a few of them have become successful, and many have ruined their reputations. Just cleaning up the family is enough to exhaust him.

During these years, Master Taihe had a sudden realization that he had a demon in his heart, which was why he accepted so many disciples.

The inner demons can be detected, but it is difficult to get rid of them.

On the Cloud Bridge, Taihe Zhenren said with a smile: "Jintong, judging from your past, you are not a person who goes with the flow. Take the incident at Bingrong Mountain not long ago, for example. There was a bit of tyranny in it."

"I'm so embarrassed."

What happened on Bingrong Mountain was originally done for all the immortals on the mountain to see. Ji Ming was not embarrassed by his tricks being seen through, and said, "I came to this peak today just to wait for the meeting on the mountain to be held.

"I am grateful to you for your hard work for me. If you have any requests in the future, I will certainly obey you."

As he spoke, a pink peach cloud appeared under Ji Ming's feet, carrying him away from the cloud bridge and landing in an uninhabited place on Lingguangjia Peak.

Master Taihe stood on the bridge for a long time until two people came from outside the bridge.

The two Taoists were both wearing water-resistant robes. One of them was wearing a cloak with his breasts exposed. He had a blessed look on his face. He was none other than Taihe Zhenren's most proud disciple and the second-generation first disciple of Diaolong Weng - Xu Yanzi.

Xu Yanzi sat on the back of a huge golden fish and shouted from a distance: "Master, this golden boy is truly extraordinary."

"Extraordinary is extraordinary, but also unruly."

Another Taoist said. This Taoist is also a disciple of Taihe Zhenren, named Yang Qian, but he is not well-known in the mountains and his Taoism is not deep, but he usually does things properly and thoroughly, which has won Taihe's heart and has always been relied upon.

Taihe Zhenren was silent for a long time before he said, "He grew up in Huoxu Cave, and he didn't have a strong sense of belonging to the mountain. In addition, he had the guidance of a local master, so he was not so urgent to choose a master."

"How can the master compare with the master?"

The second said.

Taihe Zhenren looked solemn and said, "Of course we can't compare now, but the local masters have been cultivating the elixir for hundreds of years and have already perfected the fourth realm. Breaking into the fifth realm is only a matter of the next twenty to thirty years.

Or maybe, right now.”

"If that's the case, then Jin Tong's words are probably what he really meant."

Xu Yanzi said.

"Master, if that's the case, then your arrangements in Jinbi Water House are in vain." Yang Qian's eyes flashed, and then he said, "I don't think it's necessary to accept Jin Tong into our lineage.

Senior Brother Xu Yanzi was born with immortal bones, much stronger than Jin Tong, why waste such a good opportunity on Jin Tong. "

“Junior brother, I believe I am no worse than Jin Tong.

But at the moment, even Uncle Li Zhu's favorite disciple Liu An has fallen under the Golden Boy's mount. I am only slightly stronger than Liu An, so I am afraid that I will not be able to overpower him for a while."

Xu Yanzi said very honestly.

"Being a tyrant is not the right path, and losing one's benevolence will lead to the destruction of the Tao.

Cultivating in the field of love and friendship is like a dream, and walking on the path to immortality is as quiet as a pearl.

The strange and lewd skills and tricks are not real, and the dream of becoming a hegemon is easy to be different.

Retreat to the mountains and forests to cultivate your nature, nurture your virtues and wait for spring to come and the way will be relaxed. "

Taoist Taihe recited a Taoist poem and then walked away on the cloud bridge.

Xu Yanzi asked his fellow apprentice: "Master, what does this mean?"

"Let's see what happens in the future."

Yang Qian said.

"If you say it, you haven't said it yet."

There was a place on Jiafeng where there were exotic flowers and plants, cypress and green pine trees. Ji Ming used the local materials and prepared to build a thatched hut.

He chose to do it himself without resorting to external methods, but after working on it for most of the day, the thatched hut tilted from side to side and seemed to have become a dangerous hut that ruined the view.

Then, Ji Ming, who was unwilling to give up, ordered Qianshou'er to help. With the help of more than a hundred arms, the thatched hut became higher and higher and did not fall down, becoming a small thatched tower.

But even so, Ji Ming did not call for help from the underworld officials who were familiar with construction in the underworld at the foot of the mountain.

He was busy here for a few days, and the thatched cottage looked more and more strange. In the end, he just lived in this strange cottage.

Here, in addition to reviewing the past, sorting out his previous gains, and settling himself, Ji Ming also takes care of the outside of the house, clears weeds, and opens up a medicinal garden, which can be regarded as a way to relax his mind.

But before a few days had passed, an unexpected guest came to the peak.

"Senior Sister Luo!"

Jimin greeted with a smile.

"A fight."

Luo Ji said.

These nonsensical words made Ji Ming's smile disappear instantly. He immediately lost interest and squatted down to tend to his herb garden.
