Two days had passed since setting off from Huang Shengzong. The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. The "Fire Cloud Phoenix" shuttled through the sea of clouds at high speed, and there was no one on the bow deck.
After two days of flying, the disciples lost their initial enthusiasm. The scenery outside was monotonous and simple, with clouds, mist, blue sky, mountains, etc. unchanged. They all returned to their respective rooms and refused to come out.
Liu Yupan sat on the wooden boat and practiced quietly. The spiritual energy at high altitudes was extremely thin, so he had to take a "Lotus Xiang Pill" beforehand in order to operate the technique normally and impact and dissolve the Qi reservoir veins.
Suddenly, the hull of the ship kept shaking. Liu Yu opened his eyes and glanced through the window. He found that the spirit ship was descending rapidly and passed through the thick clouds. Liu Yu couldn't help but wonder: "What happened?" Liu Yu stood up, opened the wooden door, and left the room out of curiosity.
At this time, the doors on both sides of the ship's passage opened one after another, and all the disciples walked towards the bow deck to see what was going on.
Shangguan Ming and three other sect deacons were already waiting on the bow deck, and all the disciples gathered around them.
"Below is Hanyang City, the capital of the Yue Kingdom. Tonight, we will rest at Hanyang Taoist Temple for a night. We will set off tomorrow at 10:00. You must not be late. Do you understand me?" Shangguan Ming said.
"Disciple, listen clearly." Everyone responded.
"You can go sightseeing and play in your free time, but pay attention to your words and deeds, abide by the sect's rules, and do not disturb the people. If you do anything that damages the reputation of the sect, you will not be lenient, so please leave!" Shangguan Mingzhi said with a face. , said seriously.
After hearing this, all the disciples were very happy. They were a little bored after staying in the ship building for the past two days and having nowhere to move. What makes them even more unbearable is that there are no meals provided on the spiritual ship, only whole grain pancakes. On the evening of the first day, Shangguan Ming gathered everyone and distributed the cakes. Everyone was dumbfounded and screamed.
Who could have expected that this would happen, as almost no one had brought any food. Someone may have known about this in advance and secretly brought food, but Liu Yu was dumbfounded. He really didn't expect to have to prepare food by himself, so he had no choice but to eat pancakes for two days.
Many other disciples found the pancakes too hard to swallow and are still hungry to this day. If Liu Yu hadn't had the experience of Yan Nancheng, where he usually ate delicacies and game in various dining halls in Huangsheng Mountain, he might not have been able to swallow this whole-grain pancake all at once.
In fact, when a cultivator reaches the late stage of Qi training, if he doesn't eat or drink for two or three days, it will have no effect on his body. At most, he will consume some spiritual power in his Dantian. Even if I don't eat for ten and a half months, I can endure it by gritting my teeth.
A phoenix cry of "Ang" came down from the sky and lingered in the sky above Hanyang City. It alarmed millions of Hanyang City residents. Some walked out of their rooms, some raised their heads in place, or rushed to the streets and looked up to the sky. I saw a huge "fire phoenix" breaking through the clouds and swooping towards Hanyang City.
Millions of city residents stared with shock. The young people were very excited and shouted loudly to the "Fire Phoenix", but this did not cause panic among the people.
Because this is not the first time that the "Fire Phoenix" has appeared in the sky over Hanyang City. Most of the city residents have seen this scene several times. The older the elderly, the more times they have seen it, but every time the "Fire Phoenix" "When it appears, it can cause a huge sensation, and people all over the city will be attracted by its gorgeous appearance.
The "Fire Phoenix" circled Hanyang City for a week, and finally stopped over the Hanyang Taoist Temple. The "Fire Phoenix" was a treasure ship that came to the Huangshengxian Sect. These are nothing new in Hanyang City. Storytellers from major teahouses and taverns , all have different versions about the "Fire Phoenix Immortal Ship", and the people of Hanyang City have heard about it since they were young.
Liu Yu stood on the edge of the bow of the ship and looked down. As the height of "Fire Cloud Phoenix" became lower and lower, the huge Hanyang City grew from small to large, and came into view, becoming more and more clear.
Hanyang City is the capital of the Yue Kingdom, with a permanent population of about five million. It occupies a huge area. Pavilions, courtyards, and houses are as densely packed as trees, row upon row. The streets are crowded with people, making loud shouts.
"Fire Cloud Phoenix" flew across a palace and came to the side of the huge statue of Jian Yue. It slowly stopped and was half floating in the air.
"Everyone, follow me down," Shangguan Ming said.
Everyone followed Shangguan Ming and used their body skills to fly out of the cabin of "Huoyunfeng" and arrived at the spacious bluestone square in front of the Jian Yuexian statue. Li Yuanfang, the "Tailie Taoist" of Hanyang Taoist Temple in the bluestone square, led a dozen spectators. The middle school disciples have been waiting for a long time.
"Junior Brother Bai, I haven't seen you in half a year. How are you?" Li Yuanfang greeted.
"Senior Brother Li, your style is still the same. I admire you. I won't introduce you to Senior Brother Shangguan. This is Junior Brother Huang Hong and this is Junior Brother Shi Xuchen." Bai Yucheng introduced with a smile on his face.
"Brother Shangguan, please have a few more drinks tonight. Junior Brother Huang Hong, Junior Brother Shi Xuchen, and I, Li Yuanfang, welcome to Hanyang City." Li Yuanfang greeted warmly.
"Brother Yuanfang, if you bring out a few more bottles of Spring Jade Jelly at night, you will have fulfilled your duties as a landlord, and I won't embarrass you anymore." Shangguan Ming showed a rare smile.
The national wine of the State of Yue, "Chun Yujiang", is a sixth-grade spirit wine. It is brewed according to a secret recipe from Shuyu spring water, Chunmu spirit rice and thousand-year-old green jade fruit. The wine is as amber as green jade, clear and pure, with lingering aroma and long lasting flavor. Still a gentleman in wine.
As the saying goes: Spring jade is not intoxicating, but it benefits my true body. The wine tastes both cold and refreshing. The dance before my eyes is messy, sending me to the blue clouds.
Although Shangguan Ming is not a good drinker, the sweet and mellow aroma of this "Spring Jade Wine" makes people dream. One sip will make you feel as if you are in the sky. It is such a good wine!
"Easy to say, easy to say!" Li Yuanfang responded generously.
"Let's go, everyone, come with me to have a fast meal first. There will be a banquet in the Royal Dining Palace in the evening. All the nephews must have a great time then." Li Yuanfang said to Liu Yu and the others cheerfully.
Then everyone, led by Li Yuanfang, walked towards the Taoist Temple's Fushan Hall, and it happened to be the time for the Taoist Temple to entertain pilgrims.
When Liu Yu came to receive the disciples at Hanyang Taoist Temple, he was surprised to see an old friend who was tall and thin, with cheeks shaped like a horse's face. It was Li Chen. Li Chen led the way, winked at him, and saw Liu Yu, but due to the occasion, they did not communicate much.
A large group of people came to Fushan Hall, a huge and spacious hall built with blue bricks and red tiles, with several doors for pilgrims to enter and exit. The hall is spacious and bright, with rows of long wooden tables and benches arranged in an orderly, simple and elegant manner.
At this time, Fushan Hall was filled with visiting pilgrims. Shangguan Ming's arrival caused a great sensation. Many pilgrims stood up and saluted. It was obvious that Li Yuanfang had a very high reputation.
As the nominal master of the Hanyang Taoist Temple, Li Yuanfang hardly showed up on weekdays and lived in seclusion. She stayed in the alchemy room of the Immortal Oak in January to devote herself to cultivation.
Every major holiday, such as the Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, etc., Hanyang Taoist Temple will hold a large-scale blessing ceremony. Hundreds of thousands of Hanyang residents flock to pray devoutly and burn incense to pray for the blessing of Fairy Jianyue. These grand ceremonies are It was presided over by Li Yuanfang personally, and the name "Taoist Priest Tailie" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of Hanyang City.
