In the west are Haotian, Yanluobuzhou and Liupingzhou.
A young Taoist priest in simple clothes was walking on a rugged mountain road with a turban on his head, a long sword on his back, and a cloth bag on his shoulder.
This Taoist priest has a delicate face. Although he cannot be said to be handsome, at least he looks likeable.
The Taoist priest was walking on the mountain road when he saw an old man driving his cattle down the mountain. The Taoist priest immediately stood by the road and let the cattle pass first. When the old man saw the Taoist priest standing by the road, he stopped and walked toward the Taoist priest. He smiled and nodded.
The Taoist priest asked, "Aren't you afraid of encountering monsters and monsters when you are driving cattle alone in this old forest?"
The old man pointed to the mountain in the distance with the branch he was holding to drive the cattle and said: "There used to be many monsters and monsters on this mountain, but since the arrival of a 'Cow Taoist', the monsters and monsters in this mountain have disappeared."
"Taoist Niu?" The Taoist priest was slightly surprised when he heard this, and then pointed to the highest mountain peak and said, "Is it at the top of that mountain?"
The old man shook his head and said: "In the valley below, little Taoist priest, are you here to find him?"
"No." The young Taoist priest shook his head and smiled.
The old man nodded and said: "Although there are no monsters and monsters in the mountains, there are still wild beasts at night. The little Taoist priest should be more careful when entering the mountains at this time."
"Okay, thank you, old man." The young Taoist priest said with cupped hands.
Then the old man continued to catch up with the cows and slowly went down the mountain. The young Taoist priest glanced at the mountain peak, and then began to continue climbing.
This mountain road is very wide and covered with human and cattle footprints. It seems that people often drive cattle up and down the mountain.
I saw the young Taoist priest walking as fast as flying, climbing the mountain as if on flat ground, and soon arrived in the valley below the tall mountain peak.
Now that the sun is setting in the west, the valley has become a little shady, but it is not gloomy. Instead, it gives people a clean and holy feeling.
Outside the valley are two huge hillsides, covered with tall and deep grass and trees. At this moment, the sun is setting in the west, and the setting sun is shining on the hillsides. The breeze is blowing, and the grass is rustling.
Although the world is complicated and noisy, there are still such clean and beautiful places. The young Taoist priest saw a big protruding stone in the grass, so he jumped on it, casually folded a piece of wider grass, and then put it to his mouth and started blowing .
The melody played by the Taoist priest is very beautiful, and it is even more mesmerizing to match the current scene. If Jiang Siyin was here back then, she would definitely be able to hear that this piece is "Xiaoyao Tan" that someone taught her.
After an unknown amount of time, the young Taoist priest finished playing and threw away the grass. When the sun completely set and the wind on the mountain became stronger and stronger, he walked towards the valley.
The young Taoist priest entered the valley and saw four characters slantedly carved on the stone wall outside the valley: Pingtian Holy Mansion.
Then there was a road leading straight into the valley. Rows and rows of wooden fences were built on both sides of the road. The young Taoist priest took a closer look at the wooden fence and found that the animals locked inside were actually cows.
The young Taoist priest was a little curious, so he walked all the way into the valley. When he came to the valley, he finally saw a simple stone house in front of him.
In front of the stone house, there was an extremely majestic man. He was wearing a monk's robe that was almost fading in color. He was checking the health of two calves in the yard in front of the stone house.
Although this person looked very ordinary, the young Taoist priest recognized him at a glance. The powerful Bull Demon Pingtian Great Sage Jingwu Zhenren 'Bull Demon King'.
When the young Taoist priest saw the Bull Demon King, the Bull Demon King had already examined the bodies of the two calves. Then he put the calves back into the pen and closed them up. Then he greeted Fang Jian: "Fellow Taoist, please come in and sit down."
The young Taoist priest responded, and then entered the stone house at the invitation of the Bull Demon King.
This stone house is very simple inside, with only a hall and a bedroom. There are a few wooden chairs and a wooden table in the hall, but nothing else.
The Bull Demon King asked the young Taoist priest to sit down, then poured a glass of water and brought it over. The young Taoist priest thanked him and took the water.
The young Taoist priest took a sip and said, "This is a clear spring in the mountains. Have you purified it with magic power?"
"Yes." The Bull Demon King said, "After the spring water is purified, you can safely give it to the cows to drink."
The young Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Why do fellow Taoists raise cattle in this mountain? Why don't you go to the foot of the mountain to raise cattle?"
The Bull Demon King said: "I am not a cattle farmer. These cattle belong to the people at the foot of the mountain. They were taken care of here because they were sick."
Hearing this, the young Taoist priest was surprised and said: "So the Taoist priest is treating the cattle of the people down the mountain?"
"Yes." The Bull Demon King didn't say much. He only answered the young Taoist priest's questions.
But then the young Taoist priest from Niu Mo Dynasty took a look and asked, "What does fellow Taoist do?"
The young Taoist priest took off the black cloth bag from his shoulder and placed it on the table. Then he took out a wooden jar and said, "This poor Taoist travels around and does some spiritual tea business."
After speaking, the young Taoist priest opened the wooden jar and brought it to the Bull Demon King. The fragrance of the spiritual tea suddenly floated into the Bull Demon King's nose.
The Bull Demon King's expression changed, and he realized that he had never drank spiritual tea in all these years since he came to Haotian in the West. No wonder he always felt that something was missing.
At this time, the young Taoist priest said with a smile: "This spiritual tea from Pindao has been carefully selected. The tea has a rich aroma, sufficient spiritual energy, and is absolutely non-defective. My Taoist friend lives here in seclusion. How about buying a few cans to drink?"
The Bull Demon King asked: "How much does a can cost?"
The young Taoist priest said: "This is the low-grade spiritual tea 'Qingyawan', with ten tribulation jade in a jar."
The Bull Demon King directly took out thirty tribulation jade and said: "Give me three jars."
The young Taoist priest quickly put away the robbery jade with a smile on his face, then took out two cans of spiritual tea and handed it to the Bull Demon King. The Bull Demon King checked it, then put away the three cans of spiritual tea and asked, "Will you come again in the future?"
"Come on," the young Taoist priest said with a smile, "Of course you can come if you have business to do."
After saying this, the young Taoist priest raised his hands and said to the Bull Demon King: "You haven't asked your fellow Taoist for your surname?"
The Bull Demon King said: "Cow."
"It turns out it's fellow Taoist Niu. I'm being rude and disrespectful." The young Taoist priest cupped his hands and said, "This poor Taoist's surname is Fang, and his last name is the word 'big'."
"Fang Da?" The Bull Demon King looked at the young Taoist priest and immediately said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet someone named Fang here."
"Oh? What do fellow Taoists mean by this?" 'Fang Da' asked in surprise.
The Bull Demon King waved his hand and said: "It's not interesting. If you don't mind it, fellow Taoist, you can rest here tonight."
'Fang Da' nodded, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Niu."
Then the Bull Demon King gave up his bedroom to 'Fang Da', and he sat in meditation on a stone bench in the hall.
And that young Taoist priest Fang Da is exactly "Fang Jian", and the word "Fang Da" when pronounced conversely means "generous".
Since Fang Jian wants to enter the human world to experience and practice, he naturally has to integrate into the human world. To put it simply, he is not a great emperor assisting the Jade Emperor in ruling the three realms, but a member of the vast number of sentient beings in the human world.
Early the next morning, when Fang Jian walked out of the stone house, he saw several people who had come down from the mountain standing on the wide field outside the stone house.
They took their cows out of the cow pen, and then thanked the Bull Demon King profusely, and the Bull Demon King refused to accept anything they gave him.
In the end, the common people could only go down the mountain with regrets that they had not given away the gifts and joy that their cattle had recovered from illness.
When the Bull Demon King saw the people leaving, he turned around and said to Fang Jian, "I'm going down the mountain later. Fellow Taoist, you can stay here for a few more days."
Fang Jian waved his hand and said: "Pindao not only sells spiritual tea, but also collects spiritual tea, and he also has several letters to bring."
"You still bring a letter?" the Bull Demon King said with a strange look on his face.
Fang Jian nodded and said: "Yes, I travel everywhere, so whether it is a mortal or a monk, I can help them carry letters and tokens."
The Bull Demon King said: "The monks can use magic power to send letters, so why do they need to ask someone to carry the letters?"
Fang Jian smiled and said, "It's so solemn, especially for some special letters."
When the Bull Demon King heard this, he immediately felt that this move had a different meaning. He glanced at Fang Jian and said, "Yang Shen Realm, well, why don't you also take a copy of it yourself."
Thinking of this, the Bull Demon King immediately said to Fang Jian: "I also have a letter here, but the distance is a bit far. Can you help me carry it?"
Fang Jian asked: "Where is Brother Niu going to deliver the letter?"
The Bull Demon King said: "The great world of Jambudvipa."
Fang Jian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I haven't been to the great world of Jamfu yet. I want to take the Tianyuan there."
The Bull Demon King said: "I will pay for the Tianyuan, you just need to deliver it, regardless of the year."
"Okay!" Fang Jian nodded simply, and then the Bull Demon King wrote two letters on the spot. After sealing the letters with magic power, he handed them to Fang Jian along with the robbery jade and said: "There is an address on the letter. Please press the address on it when the time comes. Just send the letter.”
Fang Jian put away the two letters sealed by the Bull Demon King's magic, then bowed his head and said: "Ten years or a hundred years, they will be delivered."
A smile appeared on the Bull Demon King's face. He thought that this letter telling his longing for his family was sent to the hands of the Jade Face Fairy and the Iron Fan after ten or even a hundred years across two worlds. It was really a different kind of romance. .
After a while, the Bull Demon King came back to his senses. After buying ten more cans of spiritual tea from Fang Jian, he cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Taoist, take care of it all the way."
Fang Jian returned the favor, then took steps to leave the valley and continue on the road.
After sending Fang Jian away, the Bull Demon King also went down the mountain. Last month, he had made an appointment to help a family down the mountain train their cattle. When calves grow up, they must undergo some training before they can become cattle, and this But this is his specialty as the Bull Demon King.
Fang Jian, who had already walked out of the valley, turned around and looked at the valley, which was illuminated by the morning sun and looked like a layer of golden thread, with a satisfied smile on his face.
Today's Bull Demon King is no longer as arrogant and extravagant as before. Even Fang Jian could not imagine that he could actually put down his arrogance and treat the diseases of ordinary people's cows! This is the true meaning of the Immortal Official in Heaven!
