Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 251 Yin Qilin

"Please feel free to keep it."

Bu Yanjin looked earnestly at the old lady before him and said:

"Although I practice medicine, I have also learned some face reading skills from my family's physiognomist."

"Judging from your appearance, your family must have suffered a misfortune, but you will surely turn bad luck into good and be reunited in the future, so you must take good care of yourself."

The old lady still wanted to put the porcelain bottle back into the hands of the person opposite her, but she was stunned by Bu Yanjin's words.

The old lady looked at the middle-aged man before her, her eyes reddening again, and her voice trembling as she said:
"Dr. Bu, is what you're saying true?"

A smile appeared on Bu Yanjin's cold, hard face as he nodded and said:

"You should know that although our lineage's patriarch was a healer and healer, he was also a Taoist master and had the ability to deduce the secrets of heaven."

"Although I don't have that ability, I have learned some face reading skills from my master. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe in it."

Bu Yanjin patted the tiger-shaped brace at his waist. As the brace trembled, a melodious bell rang out, and the old lady burst into tears, nodding repeatedly.

"I believe! I believe! Thank you so much, miracle doctor! Thank you so much, miracle doctor!"

“This Bu Yanjin is quite interesting. In the past hundred years, no disciple in Daojun Medical Hall has been able to surpass him.”

In the teahouse opposite the Wan Hua shop, the divine physician Dao Jun, dressed in a purple Taoist robe, was sitting by the second-floor window with Fang Cheng, dressed in emerald green, watching the scene unfolding at the entrance of the Wan Hua shop.

The Divine Physician Daoist smiled knowingly and joked:

"I never imagined that one day I would be beaten to it by my own disciples. How interesting."

Fang Cheng looked down at Bu Yanjin, his smile unchanged. He knew his Dao Lord's temperament all too well, and knew that his Dao Lord was not angry at all, and even seemed to be praising him.

"I followed your instructions and originally planned to come here secretly to protect Liu's mother. I never expected that Bu Yanjin would come in this direction and then meet Liu's mother, which made me feel compassion."

"It is also because over the years, my Daojun Medical Hall disciples have traveled outside and left an excellent reputation among the people, which is why Liu's mother was willing to believe in Bu Yanjin."

"The fate in this world is truly unpredictable."

Daojun nodded slightly.

"That's good. With Bu Yanjin's pills, there's no need for us to get involved. As long as this family survives this ordeal, they will enjoy a lifetime of wealth and honor, and after death they can be reborn in paradise."

"As for Bu Yanjin, I observe that this young man is indeed exceptionally talented and has made considerable achievements in the path of cultivation. In the future, he may become the eighth guardian general of my Daojun Palace."

"Yes, Fang Cheng understands."

Time flies, and eighteen years have passed since Jiang Liuer was taken in and raised by Elder Faming of Jinshan Temple after he fell into the river.

Jiang Liuer had long since grown from an infant into a handsome man with fair skin. Due to his years of worshipping Buddha, he possessed a serene demeanor and a Buddha-like face in Jinshan Temple, a Buddhist place.

Seeing that the child had great wisdom and had been studying Buddhism since childhood, Elder Faming instructed him to shave his head and practice Buddhism, giving him the Dharma name Xuanzang and receiving the precepts by touching his head.

On this day, at Jinshan Temple.

A group of monks were preaching and meditating under the shade of a tree, discussing profound mysteries, and Xuanzang was among them.

A fat, greasy-faced, pot-bellied monk was staring at the handsome young monk who was no more than eighteen years old, his expression extremely unpleasant!
"Hmph! You worthless beast who doesn't even know your own name or parents! What are you doing causing trouble here!"

Just now, this drunken monk was stumped by this newly ordained monk, and lost face. In his anger and embarrassment, he made a series of insulting remarks.

Xuanzang was deeply saddened by the insults hurled at him by the drunken monk, but he refrained from uttering any negative words. Instead, he ran back to his room and wept bitterly with his master, asking him to tell him his surname and the identities of his parents.

Elder Faming sighed softly, stood up, went to the heavy beam and took down a small box. He took out a blood-written letter, a shirt, and a bracelet from it, and handed them to Xuanzang, telling him about what happened many years ago.

Subsequently, Elder Faming saw Xuanzang's desire to find his mother, so he instructed Xuanzang to take the blood-written letter, the undershirt, and the bracelet with him, and go directly to the Jiangzhou private government office to beg for alms, so that he could see his mother.

Xuanzang embarked on his journey to find his mother, while another acquaintance of Niu Yi arrived at Jindu Mountain.

"Hmm~ Not bad, not bad, just a little more effort."

In the orange grove, the blue ox lay on a rocking chair, swaying back and forth, being served by three little ox spirits around him, looking completely relaxed.

In a pavilion not far away, Niu Yi sat playing chess with the local earth god. Lotus flowers swayed in the pond, emitting a refreshing fragrance, creating a beautiful picture on the top of Jindou Mountain.

Suddenly, Niu Yi, who was playing chess, looked up and saw a figure flying rapidly towards Jindu Mountain.

The green ox sensed something, opened its eyes, and sat up abruptly. It looked at the figure flying towards it quickly, and then at Niu Yi in the pavilion beside it.

Niu Yi turned his head and smiled, saying:
"Brother Si, rest assured, this visitor is also my friend."

The green ox nodded slightly and looked again at the rapidly approaching figure, then smiled and said:
"Oh~ So it's that drunken Taiyi from the Yuanshi Tianzun's family~" After saying that, the green ox ignored him and lay back in the rocking chair, waving his hand to let the three little ox spirits continue.

With a wave of his sleeve, Niu Yi caused the Five Elements Array around Jindu Mountain to fluctuate slightly, revealing Jindu Mountain. Not far away, Taiyi Zhenren also flew over quickly and soon arrived in front of him.

Niu Yi rode the clouds and mist to greet him, cupping his hands in greeting:

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, it's been a long time!"

Master Taiyi also smiled warmly and nodded, saying:
"Fellow Daoist Guangyi, it's been a long time. I never expected that your Golden Gourd Mountain would truly surprise me."

The mountain before him was clearly a blessed land, a rare gem brimming with spiritual energy, unlike the somewhat spiritual mountain his fellow Daoist had mentioned earlier.
Fellow Daoist Guangyi is being far too modest.

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know, but many things have happened over the years. This mountain has also received great fortune to become what it is today."

As the two chatted, they flew into Jindu Mountain. Taiyi was just curiously looking at the picturesque mountaintop and exchanging greetings with the Earth God, but when he saw the green ox lying on a rocking chair being served by the little ox spirit, his expression froze.

"This this."

"Oh~ this is Si."

Guangyi was about to introduce the Green Ox, but seeing Taiyi wink at him, he stopped and walked a little further away from Taiyi, listening as Taiyi transmitted his voice:

"Of course I recognize it, it's the blue ox from the Supreme Dao Ancestor's family, what's it doing here?"

“Alas… it doesn’t matter whether it’s here or not, but I don’t want to see this stinking ox anymore! Fellow Daoist, I’ve come here on my master’s orders to give you this item. It was crafted by my master at the request of the Nine Heavens Demon-Subduing Ancestor.”

As Taiyi Zhenren spoke, he took out a palm-sized black egg with scales from his sleeve. The surface of the egg was as clear as black jade and exuded an incomparably pure Yin energy.

Niu Yi took the egg and immediately felt a faint life force pulsating within it.

"I apologize, fellow Daoist. Since this nemesis is here, I will not linger any longer. We shall meet again another time."

Before Niu Yi could ask any more questions, Taiyi Zhenren quickly took his leave and left. Niu Yi could only look at the green ox with curiosity.

Qingniu sensed Niu Yi's gaze and sneered.

"Hey~ Back in the Mi Luo Palace, when the Three Pure Ones were lecturing, this guy wasn't listening properly and went outside to find some wine to drink. I was curious, so I followed him and saw him engrossed in drinking and eating."

"Then, I decided to tease him and nudged him. As a result, he cried out. Fortunately, we were outside the palace, but I heard that Taiyi was still punished by Yuanshi Tianzun and forbidden from drinking alcohol for a hundred years."

"Since then, this guy has refused to see me. Of course, one of us is in the Tushita Palace and the other is cultivating in the lower realm, so we don't usually see each other."

Niu Yi chuckled and shook his head, looking at the egg in his hand.

If Niu Yi wasn't mistaken, this egg was indeed a Qilin egg, but its aura was not demonic energy, but rather extreme Yin energy.

This Qilin can also be called the Yin Qilin.

Niu Yi sensed the egg. Although it was very similar to the black jade unicorn that had been killed by the True Martial Emperor, its attributes and aura were completely different.

"This egg shouldn't have been formed from the primordial spirit of the Jade Qilin. Perhaps the Primordial Celestial Venerable used the primordial spirit of the Jade Qilin to revive this Yin Qilin egg, which represents the Yin energy of the Yin and Yang energies of heaven and earth?"

Regardless, this Qilin egg is a valuable item. The Bull Demon King has the Azure Water Golden-Eyed Beast as his mount, and it might not be bad for him to have this Yin Qilin as his mount.

After calculating for a while, Niu Yi waved his hand and put the Yin Qilin egg into the Chaos Green Gourd, which landed on the top of Hunyuan Mountain in the center of Hunyuan Island.

It hasn't been long since the Yin Qilin was born, probably within the last ten years. As he expected, the Yin Qilin egg was filled with some kind of powerful source, which is why it was able to be born in such a short time.

Speaking of which, the rooster hasn't shown any signs of life for so many years. The gestation period is far too long. Perhaps it's lacking some kind of primal energy supply?
Perhaps we can deduce this.

On the banks of the Hongjiang River, two months had passed since Xuanzang began his search for his mother. He traveled all the way to Jiangzhou and found his birth mother. Later, he recognized her at Jinshan Temple by the little toe that was missing from her left foot.

Mother and son recognized each other and wept bitterly. Afterwards, Yin Wenjiao gave Xuanzang directions and wrote him a letter, asking him to send it to his maternal grandfather, who was now serving as prime minister in the capital. She also asked Xuanzang to find his mother-in-law.

Xuanzang found the old woman who had been living in the Wan Hua shop with the help of Bu Yanjin. Then, carrying the letter given to him by his mother, he headed to the capital.

At this time, Xuanzang's maternal grandfather, Yin Kaishan, had followed Li Yuan in rebelling against the Sui Dynasty and establishing the Tang Dynasty. He first served as a general in one of the routes, and later followed Li Shimin. In the first year of the Zhenguan era, he was now the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Upon seeing his daughter's letter, Yin Kaishan was overcome with grief and extreme anger. He petitioned the Tang King to send troops to Jiangzhou to capture Liu Hong and his entire gang.

The Prime Minister, along with Yin Wenjiao and Xuanzang, personally went to the riverbank and took Liu Hong to the place where he had killed Chen Guangrui at the Hongjiang Ferry. They offered sacrifices to the sky, then cut out Liu Hong's heart and liver to appease Chen Guangrui, and burned a memorial text.

At the bottom of the Hongjiang River, in the Dragon King's Crystal Palace.

Hongjiang Dragon King hurried to Chen Guangrui to report the good news.

"Sir! Congratulations! Your wife, son, and father-in-law are all here by the river to pay their respects to you. I will now send you back to life!"
