Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 473 Backhand
"Daojun, just the other day, the Thousand-Mile Eye and the Wind-Following Ear reported that a small golden bird, suspected to be the reincarnation of the Golden-Winged Roc, which flew out of Mount Ling several years ago, has appeared in the Kunlun Mountains."

"Its growth rate is extremely fast. Judging from its aura, it has already reached the cultivation level of a demon king."

"I discussed this with the four Celestial Masters of Tongming Hall. The only thing that can accomplish this is the treasure left behind by the First Phoenix, the nine-colored lotus flower that was stained with the blood of the First Phoenix."

Above Baihua Village, on a white cloud in the sky, Daojun listened to the voices constantly coming from the transmission talisman beside him, while looking down at Chenxiang, who was carrying a bag, bidding farewell to the villagers and leaving Baihua Village. He nodded thoughtfully.

"As expected, the change in the heavenly secrets was because the Ling Mountain side had left a backup plan, and this backup plan was completely unrelated to cause and effect. No wonder I couldn't find a single clue even with the cause and effect divination money."

"Compared to these powerful beings who have lived for countless years, I am still far too inexperienced. I unknowingly became a facilitator."

Daojun's tone was full of emotion. He prided himself on being prudent and thoughtful, but he still unknowingly helped someone.

Of course, he didn't suffer any loss either.

“The Buddha of Mount Ling would not do such a thing. The most likely candidate is the Peacock King Bodhisattva.”

Daojun seemed to recall the Bodhisattva's avatar he had encountered at Jindu Mountain years ago. The avatar had been discovered by his brother Si, revealing its whereabouts, but had only said that it was there to join in the fun.

But now it seems that the dignified Buddha Mother's trip to his Golden Gourd Mountain was not simply to join in the fun. At the time, no one expected that she had such a plan.

"That's enough. Since the cause and effect have been resolved, why bother with it? If we encounter them again in the future and they come looking for trouble, I will deal with them."

Not to mention that he had the ability to suppress it during his journey to the West hundreds of years ago, even if the Golden-Winged Roc cultivates to the Great Luo realm again after hundreds of years, he is very confident that he can suppress it again.

Outside Baihua Village, Chenxiang turned around and looked at the villagers who were seeing him off. Among them were the children who had ostracized him back then.

Now that everyone is older, some have become parents, and all past grievances have been put aside.

Now that Chenxiang has left to find his mother, everyone has come to see him off and offer their blessings.

Chenxiang exhaled, his expression resolute as he strode away and left.

"Master, are you also planning to leave?"

Jin Lingzi looked at Uncle Wu in front of him and smiled:

“Yes, my school is now empty. The children have all grown up and will pass on their skills to their own children. There is no point in keeping the school open. It is time for me to leave.”

Uncle Wu, whose back was already starting to hunch, looked at the somewhat desolate school and the small courtyard around which weeds had begun to grow, and nodded with a sigh.

“I understand, Daoist Master. Almost every one of the ninety-six households in our Baihua Village has received your kindness. However, Daoist Master, you are no ordinary person, and we have no way to repay you. So, each household has contributed ten copper coins as travel expenses for your journey.”

"I know that you may not lack gold and silver, but please accept these!"

As Wu Bo spoke, he solemnly handed a string of copper coins to Jin Lingzi, his somewhat cloudy but still sincere eyes looking at Jin Lingzi.

"Okay, I understand, Uncle Wu. Please thank everyone for me."

Jin Lingzi nodded slowly and, under Wu Bo's gratified gaze, reached out and took the string of copper coins.

Jin Lingzi stroked his beard, looked up at the somewhat dilapidated courtyard before him, and said with a smile:

"Several years have passed in the blink of an eye, and those children have all grown up."

"I also left something in my house, a gift for everyone. Please take it out yourself, Uncle Wu." Uncle Wu was about to say something when his eyes suddenly widened.

Suddenly, a cloud of auspiciousness began to gather beneath Jin Lingzi's feet, lifting him up and sending him flying into the sky.

"This"

"Immortal Immortal!!"

Uncle Wu murmured in shock, but in that short moment, Daoist Jin Lingzi had already flown into the clouds and disappeared without a trace.

In Jin Lingzi's room, a lifelike statue of the Divine Physician Daoist Lord sat upright on the table, looking towards the door with a kind expression.

Huashan.

Looking at the cave in front of him and the two figures standing in front of him, Liu Yanchang once again returned in a sorry state.

"Both of you."

"No need to say more. The Third Holy Mother is currently in the mountains. Without Erlang Zhenjun's order, no one is allowed to visit her."

Kang Anyu spoke indifferently, and even the dog Xiaotian beside him only glanced at Liu Yanchang before ignoring him.

Liu Yanchang knew he was not well-liked, but he entrusted the agarwood to Daoist Jin Lingzi and traveled thousands of miles to Mount Hua because he missed his wife so much that he could not sleep day and night.
Liu Yanchang took one last look at the dark cave entrance and the blue ripples that sealed it off, took a deep breath, and then turned and left.

He himself was incompetent and could only watch helplessly as his wife suffered, but his son would surely rescue her.

Until then, let him stay on Mount Hua; at least that way, he can be closer to her.
Furthermore, the medical book given by Daoist Jin Lingzi
On the other side, Kang Anyu watched Liu Yanchang give up and turn to leave, his expression unchanged.

“Boss Kang, you seem to dislike this person very much.”

Xiaotianquan knew that Kang Anyu, the eldest of the six brothers of Meishan, was a kind-hearted man who cared deeply for his brothers and was upright and warm-hearted despite his somewhat ugly appearance.

The fact that Boss Kang could make such an expression clearly shows that Liu Yanchang is truly disliked.

"Xiaotian, do you like him?"

After thinking for a moment, the Celestial Dog shook its head repeatedly.

"He caused the Third Holy Mother to be imprisoned, so of course I don't like him either. I just can't understand why the Third Holy Mother chose him out of all the gods in heaven, since he looks so ordinary?"

Kang Anyu frowned, looking somewhat troubled, and sighed.

"Sigh, we don't know either."

It wasn't that he wanted to give this mortal a hard time, but the man was just too annoying.

Back then, the Holy Mother of the Third Princess was such a celestial being. As the younger sister of their second master, they, as her brothers, regarded her as their own sister.

But what about now?
Because of this mortal, their second master had to personally intervene, imprisoning his own sister and causing a lot of trouble. Not only that, but he also had to trouble the Guangyi brothers to drag this person into it as well.

If Liu Yanchang hadn't had some backbone, coming to Mount Hua alone and daring to stand before them, wanting to see the Third Holy Mother, if he were truly a coward who abandoned the Third Holy Mother, he would have really had the urge to slap him to death!
