The author of the book "The Book of the Dead"

Chapter 135: Baiyun Imperial Hometown, Return to Jiangnan

The fortune teller's discovery of the gods did not cause a sensation, but only became a topic of conversation among dignitaries in a small circle.

"Immortals, gods, ghosts, and monsters are all nonsense."

……

"Phantom Orb?"

In a remote river valley, Liang Yue’s true body transformed into a white crane and flew over.

This place is too far away, so I will only come here in my real body.

"Ancestor?" Li Jing asked tentatively after seeing this scene.

Could it be a spiritual beast sent by the ancestor?

"That's right." Bai He opened his Dharma Eye between his eyebrows, and the plum blossom of the Dharma Eye rotated, which was very mysterious. In Li Jing's eyes, the master restored the black and white Dharma patterns and his Dharma appearance became blurred.

Liang Yue picked up the magical orb and looked at it carefully.

The gem is the size of a fist and is made of blood-red agate.

Under the observation of the Dharma Eye, the information about the magical pearl appeared in his mind.

"not bad."

The full name of the Linghuan Pearl is Kunlun Jade, which is the basis of Kunlun clouds. The reason why it is called the Linghuan Pearl is mainly because on rainy days, the pearl flies out of the clouds and the clouds form an illusion.

Supernatural and fantastic, not like ordinary things.

"This object has the same properties as the Cloud Cart. Perhaps it can be refined into the Cloud Cart."

Liang Yue asked Li Jing to wait for a moment, flew into the white clouds, found the jade knife that controlled the white clouds, and true fire appeared in his palm, which refined and melted the magical orb and slowly refined it into the cloud car.

In the end, the fist-sized blood-red orb was reduced to a pure white bead the size of a thumb.

Liang Yue jumped into the pure white cave.

The moment you enter, everything becomes clear.

The original cave world of 200 square meters has become 500 square meters.

And... Liang Yue's mind moved.

Wow!
The outer wall of the pure white world became transparent, revealing the scenery outside.

The thought moves again.

Wow!
The world is boundless, with white clouds under your feet and gods and fairies in the sky above your head.

This is a world in heaven.

Below, Li Jing stood in the shade of a tree, waiting.

Every time I see the scene of Lingbao Patriarch ascending to become an immortal, I can’t help but marvel at the mystery of cultivating immortals.

He could punch through a wall with one punch, or injure people with his sword energy from twenty feet away.

Wearing armor, the chaotic army could move in and out with ease.

As for the methods of martial arts, everything is imaginable, but as for cultivating immortals, he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he racked his brains. How could he do it?

Wow!
The clouds descended, and the voice of the master was heard from the clouds.

"Pharmacist, come up."

As soon as he finished speaking, a suction force came from the sky.

Li Jing's hair stood on end, his internal energy automatically responded, but when he thought of his master's words, he suppressed it.

Wow!
The light and shadows change, and we arrive at the boundless vast sea of clouds.

Surrounded by clouds and mist, it is magnificent.

My body is in the sky, but my heart is in the universe.

At this moment, I realized the vastness of the universe and the infinity of time.

Human beings are as tiny as ants. Compared with the vast universe, what are emperors, generals, talented men and beautiful women?
Is this what the founder had in mind?

The master was standing nearby.

Only then did Li Jing come back to his senses from his shock.

"Grandmaster, is this the fairyland?"

"This is..." Liang Yue paused and said, "This is the Baiyun Emperor's hometown, where we will be immortal after death."

"I see."

If the world after death is like this, maybe death is nothing to be afraid of.

The white clouds descended and Li Jing felt grounded.

The immortal master took Xuelian away and left two bottles of elixir before leaving.

After all, people still keep their feet on the ground.

"We'll talk about things after death."

……

Worry-free house.

A turtle as big as a millstone was basking in the sun. Li Chengqian was stunned and didn't dare to get close.

"Is this a demon?" Li Chengqian looked at Liang Yue.

"This is a giant alligator from the East China Sea. All giant alligators over sixty years old are about this size."

"I see. It's no different from the Howling Sky Dog in the palace."

"Howling Sky Divine Dog?" Liang Yue was stunned for a moment. Li Erlang also had a Howling Sky Divine Dog.

After Li Chengqian's explanation, Liang Yue finally understood that they were the descendants of Xiaotian.

Xiaotian's descendants are extremely ferocious and have a keen sense of smell. Li Shimin raised a group of them at the beginning. Xuan Ce's army was agile in field battles and could always catch the enemy's tracks, partly due to the credit of Xiaotian's divine dog.

"Can I play with it?" Li Chengqian asked cautiously.

"Just be casual, just remember to do your homework after playing."

"Oh!"

Li Chengqian took small steps and quickly climbed onto Xuanwu's shell.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is a mature and precocious prince, but for some reason here, he reveals the nature of a child.

Xuanwu curled his lips, and his master threw the trouble to him again.

In the following days, Liang Yue changed Li Chengqian's medicine and went into the clouds to practice at night, occasionally teaching him.

"Sir, is it really possible to defeat the Northern Turks?"

"Barbarism will not last forever. Either you integrate into civilization or you will be wiped out."

Countless barbaric forces have appeared in the desert, including the Xianyun, the Quanrong, the Xiongnu, and the Xianbei. Now they have either integrated or become new barbaric forces together with other tribes.

"Exterminate the clan? Kill them all?" Li Chengqian felt reluctant. Not to mention that genocide is against the harmony of nature, just killing so many people would cost a huge price.

"No, exterminating a clan does not necessarily mean killing the people, but also destroying their hearts; befriending them, dividing their tribes, and then promoting Buddhism, extravagance, and the idea of becoming a monk, etc."

"..."

Li Chengqian took these words deeply to heart.

That’s all Liang Yue has to say, just give some pointers.

This boy is not Liu Yifu. I have no intention of training another Liu Yifu.

……

At night, the imperial home in the clouds.

Liang Yue took out the remaining essence of the spiritual pearl and injected true energy into it, which lingered for a long time.

"This thing may be used as a source of energy to maintain the imperial city."

Soon, Liang Yue imitated the patterns in the He Shi Bi to refine the weapon.

During this period, countless jade stones were added and Li Chunfeng almost ran his legs off. He also gave the mattock to this boy to dig jade from Mount Zhongnan.

Soon, a fist-sized jade stone was refined.

"This thing can store three hundred strands of true energy."

Of course, three hundred strands of true qi are still not enough, and it is not the upper limit of this device. I have to continue digging more jade.

Mount Zhongnan, the tomb of Xiuyue Man.

There were tinkling sounds coming from the tomb.

In the cave, hundreds of Taoist soldiers, two meters tall and with faces as red as iron, were wielding hoes to dig for jade.

Liang Yue stood with Li Chunfeng and listened to Li Chunfeng's account of the intelligence received in the past six months.

"Just now, the Bad People intercepted intelligence again. There may be high-ranking members of the Demon Sect in the Three Wu area, the hometown of the founder. Perhaps they have discovered the ruins. Senior Brother Yuan Tiangang has also gone south."

Liang Yue pondered for a moment and said, "You continue to dig for jade, and I will go and watch."

The Demon Cult is truly a guiding light. I don't have to spend a lot of effort collecting intelligence. I can just take it directly from them.

The next morning, Liang Yue brought Xuanwu and saw Li Chengqian off.

He took Xuanwu with him, rode on the clouds, flew into the sky, and disappeared.

Three Wus, Yuezhou, Kuaiji County.

Dreaming of mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the long river flows into my hometown.

Liang Yue, wearing a straw raincoat, walked along the bluestone alley shrouded in the misty rain.

I didn't want to come here, but I ended up here anyway. I don't know if it was God's will or something else.

He was thin and walked hurriedly.

It's like a wanderer returning home, and also like a traveler from another place on the road.

In my first and second lives, I have lived in the Three Wus for more than a hundred years, and this place has become my hometown.

This place is still as prosperous as it was in the past. Some of the scenery is still there, and there are many things that have not been seen before.

"This place should be the land of the Wang and Xie clans back then."

Now it has become an ordinary people's home.

The Liang family's old house is nowhere to be found and may have been buried deep in history.

The former site of Liuzhuang, where there are still members of the Liang clan.

Liang Yue jumped onto the cloud chariot and looked down at the clan's land with his Dharma eyes. In front of the ancestral hall, members of the Liang clan were offering sacrifices to their ancestors, with bells ringing and food feasting on tripods, creating a scene of wealth and prosperity.

As a descendant of a branch of the royal family, the Liang family of Kuaiji is not as powerful as it was decades ago, but it is still a presence that transcends the local area.

There is a scent of incense in front of the ancestral temple.

The governor of Yuezhou and the patriarch of the Liang family was a middle-aged Confucian scholar. He was looking at the portrait of his ancestor in official uniform in front of the hall.

For some reason, I always feel like my ancestors are watching me, and I feel uneasy.

"It must be an illusion. How can the ancestor still be alive?"

In the back mountain, a figure landed and stood in front of an ancient tomb on a barren hill for a long time.

The flowers and plants in the Willow Palace cover the secluded paths, and the clothes and hats of the Jin Dynasty become an ancient hill.

The events of the Northern and Southern Dynasties have ultimately become a thing of the past.

The former owner of Liu Manor also became a stranger.

Xuanwu poked his head out from his arms, looked at the familiar mountain behind and the manor at the foot of the mountain, and howled several times, as if he felt familiar with it.

It should be two hundred years ago? At that time, there were mistresses, young mistresses, young masters...

"Let's go." Liang Yue stuffed the Xuanwu back into his pocket.

This time I came here not to lament the story of Liuzhuang, but to deal with important matters.

After standing there for a long time, he disappeared.

The streets are busy and people are hurrying.

Liang Yue passed by a middle-aged man with a chest-length beard and a face as white as jade.

That man was Yuan Tiangang from Chang'an.

It is also to search for immortals.

Liang Yue blended into the crowd and disappeared without a trace.

Yuan Tiangang turned around suddenly and looked behind him.

There seems to be a mysterious feeling in the dark, as if there is a flash of divine inspiration.
