A huge dry rift appeared on the ground below. Ji Liao took a look and immediately remembered that it was the Wuyuan River.
However, as time goes by, the Wuyuan River has dried up and turned into a ferocious canyon, lying between dense forests, like a wound on the ground.
Ji Liao still remembers that it was here that he met Ji Changhe. It was the first time he fought with someone, and it was also the beginning of his journey to immortality.
The appearance of Ji Changhe changed Ji Liao. At that time, Ji Liao was still a child who did not know the world. However, when he saw his fellow clansmen killing him, Ji Liao suddenly understood the unpredictability of people's hearts and the cruelty of this world. He was completely heartbroken.
"Life and death are only a matter of thought, if you don't die, I will die." Ji Liao still uses this principle to this day.
Today's Ji Liao is no longer the boy with only the second level of Naqi. At that time, it took him several months to cover a distance of more than ten thousand miles, but now it only takes him a few hours.
After passing through a dense forest, a mountain range suddenly appeared in front of them, and small villages were seen falling among the mountains. It was vaguely visible that mortals were leaning on the green mountains and living leisurely among them with the green water.
Not long after, the mountains ahead suddenly changed. The ground between the mountains disappeared and was replaced by clear water veins crisscrossing around the foot of the mountains.
But I saw mist on it, and small boats were slowly moving on it, making ripples.
Ji Liao knew that this was not far from Yongding City. Back then, he broke through the third level of Naqi on one of these mountains. At that time, he didn't know that there was a bottleneck on the third floor of Naqi, so he broke through rashly and passed out.
When he woke up again, he inexplicably met Zhang Yunyao, who was forced to marry by King Xian, and he inexplicably took action for him and killed King Xian. Now thinking about it, he was really young and impulsive at that time.
Ji Liao glanced around and suddenly looked at a mountain.
But he saw a low mountain in front of him, only about forty feet tall.
There is a huge palace standing on the top of the mountain, with smoke curling around the top of the mountain. A sloping stone staircase leads directly to the foot of the mountain. There are dense crowds of people on it, obviously all of them are going to worship in this palace.
Ji Liao's brows moved, and he remembered that the mountain was the one where he broke through the third level of Naqi. But he didn't know who had set up a temple there, and it looked like the temple was still very prosperous.
"Snot Wolf, let's go there and have a look." Ji Liao thought for a while and then ordered.
Ji Liao was very interested in revisiting his old place. Although he had just fought a battle with two golden elixir monks from Youlan Sect not long ago, the gloom was gone now.
The Ji family is far away from the Youlan Sect. It may be more than ten days before the news about the Ji family reaches Youlan Sect. By then, Ji Liao will have already entered the chasm and is heading towards the Purple Air Sect. Going, Ji Liao is not afraid of Youlan Sect's revenge.
"Okay!" Snotlout Wolf responded, and his figure
Swooping towards that mountain range.
When they were almost at the foot of the mountain, Ji Liao slapped the snot-nosed wolf.
Snot Wolf's huge body turned into a stream of light and flew back into the spirit beast bag.
The place Snotlout Wolf chose was relatively remote, and because he moved very quickly, no one paid attention to them.
Ji Liao and Ji Xiu Niang fell to the ground.
Ji Liao took Ji Xiu's mother's little hand and smiled faintly, "Let's go and have a look. It's like worshiping the Bodhisattva for my mother."
"Hmm!" Ji Xiu Niang hummed obediently, letting Ji Liao hold her hand, while holding up her skirt with her other hand, she walked through the grass.
Within a moment, two figures, one large and one small, appeared at the main entrance of the mountain.
Ji Liao looked up and saw a straight staircase leading to the top of the mountain. There were many people on it, coming and going, with different expressions on their faces, some with sadness and some with smiles.
Therefore, there is a water vein at the foot of the mountain, so a large pier was built at the foot of the mountain. Small boats docked at the edge of the pier, rising and falling with the slight waves.
Ji Liao and Ji Xiu Niang looked at each other, then stepped forward at the same time.
"Hey, Lady Ying is really amazing. There was a severe drought this year, and our village almost lost its harvest. If we hadn't asked Lady Ying to send clouds and provide rain, we would have had to beg for food."
"Yes, our village is the same. There were floods a few years ago. Fortunately, we have Lady Yongyun to repair the river channel for us. Otherwise, there may not be many people in our village who can survive."
"I also remember that year. It was God's blessing. We had a promised queen here, so we could have enough to eat no matter what natural disasters happened."
"Of course, Empress Yingyun is a living Bodhisattva."
"I will come here next year to offer more incense to Lady Ying Yun."
"Yes, you also call me, and I will come with you..."
Ji Liao and Ji Xiuniang walked slowly, listening to the words of the passers-by who passed them along the way.
He was suspicious in his heart. From what these people said, it seemed that Empress Ying was a monk, but judging from her words, her cultivation level was not high. At most, she could only help mortals.
Ji Liao was a little hesitant. He broke into other people's dojo without informing him in advance. This kind of behavior is considered very irregular in the world of immortality. If he encounters someone with a bad temper, he will even kick him out.
However, it would be even worse to leave someone else's dojo once they arrive.
After thinking about it, Ji Liao sighed and could only go up and take a look.
Pedestrians were coming and going along the way, but because Ji Liao was wearing a Taoist robe, he attracted a lot of attention.
But obviously here, Ji Liao's dress is not too unusual. Those people just paid attention and did not do anything out of the ordinary.
Not long after, Ji Liao and Ji Xiu Niang reached the top of the steps, and a square covering more than thirty acres appeared.
But I saw the heads of people passing by in this square
They moved, with piety on their faces.
In the middle of the square, there is a water pool covering an area of acre. In the center of the water pool stands a white jade statue of seven to eight feet.
This statue is carved of a woman, wearing a plain crown and a Taoist robe. She has a graceful figure and a soft appearance. Her eyebrows and eyes are extremely expressive, revealing a sense of compassion.
In front of the statue stood an incense burner that was half a person's height. The worshipers held lit incense candles and knelt down in front of the statue in front of the statue. They chanted something in their mouths and worshiped devoutly. Then they stood up and put their hands on the incense burner. The incense candle was inserted into the incense burner.
But the incense burner was already filled with incense candles, and there was almost no space left.
The green smoke curled up across the entire square, making this large square wrapped in the aroma, making it look like it was full of incense.
"Master, should we also go and invite two incense sticks and pay homage to the Yingyun Queen?" At this time, Ji Xiu Niang raised her head and asked.
Ji Liao smiled when he looked at the white jade statue, and shook his head slightly after hearing Ji Xiu Niang's words.
"Why?" Ji Xiu Niang asked puzzledly.
Ji Liao just smiled and did not explain, because he happened to know the owner of this statue, and it was his cheap apprentice Zhang Yunyao many years ago.
Ji Liao still remembers that when he left the Zhang family, he pointed out to Zhang Yunyao that the mountainous aura was rich and suitable for cultivation, but he did not expect that Zhang Yunyao opened a dojo here, and the incense was so popular that he was loved by mortals.
Ji Liao nodded lightly in his heart. It seemed that Yunyao had a good heart. He did not dominate the fish and meat village just because he was a monk. Instead, he did a lot of good things for the mortals nearby.
"Then shall we leave now?" Ji Xiu Niang asked again when Ji Liao didn't answer.
If you neither offer incense nor pay homage, why are you still here?
When Ji Liao heard this, he pondered for a moment and nodded lightly.
However, if we meet by chance, we know that our old friend is well, so why bother to cause trouble to meet again.
"Let's go back." Ji Liao said softly.
"Well..." Ji Xiu Niang nodded.
Then the two of them turned over and walked towards the stairs.
At this moment, a ray of light shot from the distant sky and flew directly over the mountains.
"Oh, look, it's Empress Ying Yun." Someone exclaimed when they saw the escaping light.
"Mother Ying Yun, it's really a blessing in this life to be able to see Mother Ying Yun today."
When the hundreds of people in the venue saw Empress Ying Yun returning, they all shouted loudly, knelt down and kowtowed in worship.
Ji Liao also stopped and looked up with Ji Xiu Niang.
With such sharp eyesight, he was able to spot a beautiful figure at a glance, hovering in mid-air on a copper bell-shaped flying magic weapon, and that beautiful figure was none other than Zhang Yunyao.
Zhang Yunyao has long been accustomed to this kind of scene, with a faint smile on her face
meaning.
Nowadays, she has matured a lot, and her appearance is still in her thirties, with the charm of a mature woman bursting out.
Her figure is still graceful. When Ji Liao met her, Zhang Yunyao was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Now she really shows the charm of a mature woman to the fullest, exuding a feeling that makes people want to stop.
With a smile on her face, Zhang Yunyao glanced at the people in the audience. Just as she was about to say something, her figure suddenly froze, her eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at the people standing in the square, one large and one small, in disbelief.
She has never forgotten that figure. She has always remembered it deeply in her heart and printed it in her mind. However, she did not expect to meet him like this. She thought she was hallucinating for a moment, but when she looked closely again, she found that it was really that person. , a look of joy suddenly appeared on her face, she moved her feet, her impatient figure flashed, and in the next moment she was in front of the two people, one large and one small.
Ji Xiu Niang was stunned, she didn't expect that Ying Niang would find her, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, and she suddenly became vigilant.
Ji Liao looked at Zhang Yunyao and looked at him with a smile.
Zhang Yunyao also stood and stared at Ji Liao blankly.
Hundreds of people in the venue were also stunned. They did not expect that the aloof Empress Ying Yun would suddenly land in the square.
And just as they were stunned, the next move of the empress they were talking about was immediately shocking to them.
"Disciple has met Master!"
But Zhang Yunyao shouted loudly and knelt down in front of Ji Liao.
