"Hahaha." A burst of joyful laughter came from the elegant and simple cave, causing the fairy flowers inside and outside the cave to sway and the vegetation to tremble.
In the cave, three people sat opposite each other. One man and one woman sat side by side on the main seat, and the third person sat on the guest seat.
And it was the person sitting on the guest seat who laughed loudly.
"Fellow Daoist Chongming, is this absolutely true?" the man on the main seat asked the laughing man.
The Taoist named 'Chong Ming' nodded and said: "It's absolutely true, fellow Taoist Dingyuan, Master Na Hongqing has indeed been sent to Penglai Tianjie to work as a patrol officer."
Yes, the three people in this cave, the man and the woman sitting on the main seat, are the former Beitian Mansion Tianjun, Taoist Dingyuan, and his wife, Empress Xuxia.
This is Liuhua Cave in Baiyuan Mountain, Dongsheng Shenzhou, where Taoist Dingyuan lived in seclusion with his wife.
The Taoist sitting on the guest seat is the Taoist Golden Immortal 'Chongming Great Immortal'.
"Our Taoist disciples saw this with our own eyes on Penglai Tianjie and passed the news back to Nanzhan Buzhou." Great Immortal Chongming said with a smile.
Taoist Dingyuan was also quite happy, nodded and said with a smile: "I never thought that Master Hongqing would have this day, okay, okay."
"What's so good?" said the Empress Xuxia on the side: "If you are punished again in the human world, you will still be the popular person next to the chief envoy. Sooner or later, you will return to serve in the Heavenly Court. What is there to be happy about?"
Taoist Dingyuan was startled, then nodded and said, "That's what Madam said."
When the Great Immortal Chongming saw this, he immediately asked Taoist Dingyuan: "Fellow Taoist Dingyuan, I don't know what I just said..."
Taoist Dingyuan's face condensed slightly when he heard this, and then he smiled and said, "I need to think about this matter."
Immortal Chongming said: "Fellow Taoist, you are no longer an immortal official in heaven. This time Lord Zixu Yuanjun sent me to invite you to Nanzhan Buzhou. The meaning of this... Haha, I believe you, Taoist, also understand. .”
Taoist Dingyuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Zixu Yuan, for your love. Dingyuan is flattered. However, I have already promised my wife that I will accompany her to plant flowers and trees in Baiyuan Mountain and live in seclusion in the world. I do not want to participate in external disputes."
"This..." Immortal Chongming was startled when he heard this, and then looked at Empress Xuxia who was standing aside.
Empress Xuxia made a cup of spiritual tea for Taoist Dingyuan, and then said slowly: "The Taoist sect wants to win over my husband, just because he wants to use his ability to go to Nanzhan Buzhou to fight for the Taoist sect."
Chongming Daxian said: "The situation in Nanzhan Buzhou really requires relying on the magical power of fellow Taoist Dingyuan. Since fellow Taoist has now become a Sanxian, it would be a good place to join our Taoist sect."
Empress Xuxia smiled and said: "What Taoist fellow Chongming said is wrong. Taishang Taoist Ancestor opened up the avenue. We cultivators are all disciples of Tao Ancestor. Why do we still talk about joining the 'Taoist Sect'?"
"This..." Immortal Chongming was speechless by Empress Xuxia and was speechless.
After a while, the Great Immortal Chongming raised his hands to Taoist Dingyuan and said, "Fellow Taoist, what Pindao said to Master Zixu Yuan has been brought here. Whether to go to Nanzhan Buzhou or not depends entirely on fellow Taoist himself."
After saying that, Immortal Chongming stood up and said to Taoist Dingyuan: "Fellow Taoist Dingyuan, if you go to Nanzhan Buzhou, you will definitely have a place in the Taoist sect of Nanzhan Buzhou in the future. Please also ask Dingyuan Taoist Friends, think carefully."
Then the Great Immortal of the Ming Dynasty bowed his head to the Taoist Dingyuan and the Empress Xuxia, and said, "I have to say goodbye."
Taoist Dingyuan and Empress Xuxia also immediately stood up and saluted, and sent Immortal Chongming out of the cave. They watched Immortal Chongming turn into a ray of fairy light and leave before returning to the cave.
"Why did the Taoist sect suddenly come to recruit you?" Empress Xuxia asked Taoist Dingyuan.
Taoist Dingyuan smiled lightly and said, "Maybe he took a fancy to my Dingyuan True Light."
Empress Xuxia sighed softly and said: "You were removed from the position of Heavenly Lord by the Heavenly Court. In addition to the rank of Immortal Official, you will naturally become a member of the Taoist Sect after you retire. They actually asked you to join the 'Taoist Sect'. Isn't this a joke?"
Taoist Dingyuan saw it clearly and said slowly: "Of course I am a member of the Taoist sect, but I am not a member of the Taoist sect in their eyes."
"What you said is too convoluted, I can't understand it." Empress Xuxia said with a white look at Taoist Dingyuan.
Taoist Dingyuan smiled slightly, stepped forward and gently pressed his hand on Empress Xuxia's shoulder and said: "There are sects within sects, and there are sects within sects. There are countless sects in Taoist sects, unlike Buddhism, which is unified up and down, so there will naturally be differences." "
Upon hearing this, Empress Xuxia said: "It's like in heaven, besides the Jade Emperor, there are also four royal gods and emperors from all over the world?"
"That's right." Taoist Dingyuan said, "However, even if they are divided into different sects, they are still members of the Taoist sect after all."
Empress Xuxia said: "You are not allowed to participate in the destruction of Buddha in Nanzhan Buzhou."
Taoist Dingyuan nodded and said: "I will not participate in it, nor will I go to Nanzhan Buzhou. Madam, don't worry."
Empress Xuxia said: "That's good. We just need to be good now and wait for Hua'er to be released from Leize, and don't cause any more trouble."
Taoist Dingyuan smiled slightly and said, "Okay, it all depends on Madam."
...
"Are you selling wine pills?" Fang Jian picked up a jade porcelain bottle in front of a small stall on Penglaitian Street and asked the stall owner.
The stall owner is a female cultivator from the True Fairyland, with a tall figure and a round and cute face. When Fang Jian asked, she nodded quickly and said, "Yes, it's a wine-tasting elixir. I made it myself."
After saying that, the stall owner looked at Fang Jian and said, "Are you the patrol officer?"
Hearing this, Fang Jian looked down at the patrol school uniform he was wearing and said with a smile, "Look at the clothes I'm wearing, isn't it obvious?"
"Maybe it's a fake..." the stall owner muttered.
Fang Jian was surprised and said: "Who dares to pretend to be an immortal official?"
The stall owner said: "Yes, there were people who pretended to be street patrol officers in the past and specifically intimidated some small stall owners and asked for bribes."
"Oh? What happened to those people?" Fang Jian asked.
The stall owner said: "Some were caught, some escaped..."
Fang Jian nodded, then pointed to the jade porcelain bottle in his hand and said, "Can I open it and take a look?"
The stall owner said: "Please take a look."
Fang Jian waved his hand to uncork the bottle, and then asked the stall owner: "What do you call fellow Taoist?"
The stall owner said: "My name is Li Junxia."
Fang Jian asked: "Who is your master?"
Li Junxia said: "I studied under the master Quanji Zhenren of Hanyuan Temple in Luofu Mountain in Nanzhanbuzhou."
While he was talking, Fang Jian had already poured out a wine elixir from the jade porcelain bottle, then put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it. He felt a crisp and refreshing aroma of wine entering his nostrils.
However, in the aroma of the wine, Fang Jian smelled a hint of the aroma of spiritual fruit.
"How come there is the smell of spiritual fruit in this wine elixir?" Fang Jian asked Li Junxia.
When Li Junxia heard this, he immediately said: "Oh, I made the fruit wine pill using elixir and spiritual fruit, so it will have the aroma of spiritual fruit."
"Oh..." Fang Jian said, "I want to check, is that okay?"
Li Junxia heard this and said, "How do you check it?"
Fang Jian said: "I want to use wine elixir to turn the wine into wine and check the quality of the wine elixir."
"Oh...you suspect that I'm cheating?" Li Junxia said in disbelief.
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Yes."
"..." Li Junxia said immediately: "You can test the elixir, but you have to pay me for the merits of the wine elixir. It's very hard for me to make elixirs! The elixirs, talismans and merits I cultivate all rely on these wine elixirs." Woolen cloth."
Fang Jian nodded when he heard this and said, "Okay, but I have no merit, so let me test the elixir. If your wine elixir is genuine and of good quality, how about I find a big buyer for you?"
Hearing this, Li Junxia thought for a moment, then looked at Fang Jian and nodded: "Okay, you have to keep your word."
Fang Jian nodded and said, "That's natural."
"Then check it out." Li Junxia said.
