The carriage slowly stopped at a secret place with lush trees at the foot of Buzhou Mountain. At this time, Jining saw an inconspicuous Taoist temple not far from here. Yu Qianhua told Jining that the location of this trip is the Taoist temple in front.
There is a stone path in front of the Taoist temple. Jining and Yu Qianhua climbed up the steps and arrived in front of the Taoist temple. Yu Qianhua knocked lightly on the door of the Taoist temple. Soon the door of the Taoist temple was opened by a young Taoist priest.
The little Taoist priest seemed to know their arrival, and after seeing them, he led them towards the Taoist temple.
Entering the main hall of this small Taoist temple, Jining saw that the main hall of this small Taoist temple was very small and only enshrined a statue of a Taoist ancestor that he did not recognize. They did not stop and followed the little Taoist priest through the small hall and into the backyard of the Taoist temple.
In the courtyard behind the Taoist temple, a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing ordinary gray clothes sat on a stone table under an ancient apricot tree. Jining recognized the Taoist priest at a glance as the master of Chaotian Temple, Yushan Zhenren. Perhaps Jining had been using the Hidden Spirit Technique to hide his identity as a monk after arriving in Luodu City. Master Yushan did not realize that the young man following Yu Qianhua was also a monk.
He didn't look at Yu Qianhua, who was brought in by the little Taoist priest. He looked at the tea in his hand, as if he was worried! Jining felt that Master Yushan's cultivation level was similar to his current cultivation level, and that he was almost at the seventh level of Qi training. However, Master Yushan had not reached the perfection of the seventh level of Qi training.
Although Master Yushan knew that Yu Qianhua and Jining were already not far in front of him, he ignored them and continued to drink the tea in his hand. He only glanced at Yu Qianhua and Jining with the corner of his eye. When Master Yushan glanced at Jining from the corner of his eye, his expression became a little confused. Surprised, I vaguely felt that the young man following Yu Qianhua was a little different, and he seemed to have seen him somewhere, and he seemed familiar!
After Yu Qianhua saw the real person Yushan, he fumbled in his arms for a while, then took out a box wrapped in silk, and then opened the box carefully. In the box lay a transparent stone the size of an adult's fist that glowed red. .
"Hey, it turns out to be fire rock. This is a top-grade material for refining fire-attributed magic weapons!" Jining thought to himself when he saw the red-glow transparent jade. Jining saw this fire rock in the Mengjia Valley's weapon refining classics. Pass. However, for Jining, who knew little about weapon refining, the materials for refining fire-attribute magic weapons were of no use to him.
Master Yushan saw a hint of surprise on Huo Jingyan's face, and then immediately calmed down. But this slight change did not escape Jining's spiritual consciousness. Master Yushan sat quietly at the stone table without saying a word. He knew exactly what Yu Qianhua was looking for tonight. Originally, he did not want to get involved with the Lu family, but because Yu Chenghai said that a monk had appeared that night, he changed his mind and came to see Yu Qianhua.
Yu Qianhua respectfully placed the jade box containing the fire essence in front of Master Yushan, then knelt down to Master Yushan and said: "I have something important to ask the Master of the State. The Anbei army led by my brother Yu Qian was trapped in Dulong Pass. Isolated and helpless, it is now in danger and is in danger of being annihilated by Chu and Zheng's army at any time! However, the Black Tiger Cavalry led by his younger brother Yu Qianding is an important weapon of the Lu State. If the Black Tiger Cavalry is destroyed by Chu and Zheng, the Lu State will not only lose Dulong The dangerous pass of Guantian will also seriously damage the national strength of the Lu State! And the Holy One has been hesitant about the rescue. Therefore, I am here today, hoping that the National Preceptor can persuade the Holy One to send troops to rescue Dulong Pass!"
Master Yushan did not say anything after hearing this. He raised his head and thought deeply. After a while, he sighed and said: "Master Yu, please get up. I originally did not want to get involved in the royal family's private affairs, but the State of Lu is the place where I take care of you. Dulong The pass is a natural danger for the Lu State. If Dulong Pass is lost, it will definitely affect the foundation of the Lu State. I will discuss this matter with Lu Shang. But I am not sure whether Lu Shang is willing to send troops to help Dulong Pass!"
After hearing this, Yu Qianhua thanked him profusely!
Master Yushan looked at Jining and suddenly asked: "This fellow Taoist, have you and I seen him somewhere before?"
Jining clasped his fists towards Master Yushan and said politely: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Master, Ji used to guard Yamada in the back mountain of Chaotianguan for several years. I also want to thank the Imperial Master for supporting Jim back then!"
Master Yushan was a little surprised after hearing this. Jining's reminder reminded him of some things in the back mountain of Chaotian Temple, and then said with profound meaning: "Fellow Daoist Ji, you and I are all people of the same path. Don't mention the past again!"
Then Master Yushan said to Jining in a profound way: "Ji Taoist friends have a good relationship with immortals!".
Then Master Yushan clasped his fists and sent Jining and the others away!
Master Yushan watched the two people leave with a look of suspicion on his face. He had already learned in the back mountain of Chaotian Temple that this young man was a monk, but he could not see his cultivation today!
"Master, shall we stay here to rest tonight or shall we go back to the palace?" A little Taoist priest asked from the side. The little Taoist priest's question brought Master Yushan's thoughts back. After thinking about it, he got up and prepared to return to the palace. .
Early the next morning, there was a knock on the door of Jining's courtyard. Jining's spiritual sense found that Yu Qianhua was at the door of the courtyard. He felt that Yu Qianhua's expression was much more relaxed. Jining guessed that Master Yushan had already convinced Lu Guo. The emperor sent troops to the rescue.
After Yu Qianhua saw Jining, he said to Jining respectfully, inviting Jining to the living room to discuss anything with Jining!
Jining and Yu Qianhua walked into the living room and saw three people inside. These three people were the two people Jining had rescued at the inn and Yu Qianfang. The three of them should have learned from Yu Qianhua that the young man in front of them was no ordinary person, so they all greeted Jining very politely.
Yu Qianhua introduced the three men to Jining. It turned out that these two were Yu Qianding's trusted generals. Except for the one Jining already knew was named Zongyuan, he also learned that the other one was named Ye Qingzhi. That day, Yu Qianding discovered that the army's retreat was cut off, so he sent two men and a small team to break out and rescue the troops. However, they were discovered by Chu Zheng's troops shortly after setting off. In the end, all the officers and soldiers under them were wiped out. Then you get away with it.
Jining also knew the general meaning from Yu Qianhua's words. The real person Yushan had persuaded the current emperor to send troops to rescue, but the army was far away from Dulong Pass, and it would take at least four months for the army to rush to Dulong Pass. Although he had sent a letter to Yu Qianding through Fei Ge, Yu Qianhua was afraid that Fei Ge's letter would be intercepted, so he hoped that Jining could help and take the two of them back to Dulong Pass to stabilize the morale of the army!
After hearing Jining's promise, Yu Qianhua finally felt relieved and quickly thanked him. He said that Ye Qingzhi's injury would still take more than half a month to recover. After Ye Qingzhi's injury recovered, he would set off for Dulong Pass.
At dawn, Jining opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air. After Jining came back from the Taoist Temple, he never went out again. By calculation, it had already been more than half a month in Yu Mansion. Yesterday, Yu Qianhua visited Jining at night and discussed with Jining whether he could set off in five days. Jining nodded and agreed. During the past few days of meditation, Jining felt more and more that the bottleneck of breaking through the seventh level of the Immortality Technique had been loosened, and he calculated that it would be enough time. So he prepared to adjust his physical condition and hit the eighth level of Immortality Technique.
He looked up and saw that the sky was getting brighter outside, but he had not left the room for more than half a month. In addition, the crisis in the Yu Mansion had come to an end, so he planned to go to Luodu City for a walk today.
There is a slight drizzle in the sky in Luodu City today, but the weather is pleasant. Jining walked on the street holding an oil-paper umbrella, and Jining wandered aimlessly in the streets and alleys. The noisy shouts on the street brought Jining's thoughts back, and he found himself walking into a messy alley. Both sides of the alley are filled with old women and vegetable farmers selling vegetables. Fresh vegetables were placed in front of them, and everyone shouted to the passers-by on the street.
Jining felt the smell of mundane fireworks in the world, and felt something strange in his heart! I sighed in my heart as the Buddhists say that one flower, one grass, and one world exists, but none of these ordinary people have their own world, and each world is so different!
Jining raised his legs and walked into a small breakfast shop. There were four or five small tables inside the small shop. The fairy shop was already full of breakfast guests. The store owner was a young couple. When they saw Jining dressed as a scholar, they quickly wiped a newly vacant table before letting Jining sit down. Then he helped Jining fill a bowl of millet porridge, and took two sesame seed cakes and a few plates of side dishes.
Although Jining was not hungry, seeing how enthusiastic the store owner was, he tasted the millet porridge and side dishes, and listened to the wild chatter of the people next to him! Looking at their attire, their lives are not rich, but from their cheerful expressions, it can be seen that they are very satisfied with their current life. Jining secretly said in his heart that only when he is content can he always be happy!
Jining originally had many concerns about his own spiritual path. Looking at their smiling expressions made Jining's originally heavy heart become lighter. Jining put a piece of broken silver on the table with a smile and left quietly!
Jining continued to walk on the street. Soon Jining found that he had reached the foot of Buzhou Mountain in the center of Luodu City. He saw a winding stone path in front of him. Looking up at the beautiful scenery of Buzhou Mountain, he planned to reach Buzhou Mountain. Take a look at Zhoushan Mountain!
Looking at the towering ancient trees on both sides of the hillside blocking out the clouds and the sun, the quiet Buzhou Mountain makes people feel as if they are in the forest sea of Cangshan Mountain, and has nothing to do with the bustling Luodu City. Jining walked leisurely on the stone path for almost an hour before reaching the top of Buzhou Mountain. Jining has a bird's eye view of the entire city of Luodu, and feels that there is something special about Mount Buzhou.
Not far from Jining, there is a simple and majestic stone tower, nine stories high, with many mysterious patterns carved on the base stone.
However, what is new to Jining is a simple stone tablet standing in front of the stone tower. On the stone tablet it is written, "There are thousands of Taoisms, but it is difficult to know and practice through time."
Jining was a little surprised when he looked at the inscription on the stone tablet, and murmured in his heart, "There are many ways to teach, but knowing and doing is difficult." This inscription should have a meaning, but he couldn't understand its meaning!
