Chapter 473 What Happened After It Came True As the wine goes down your throat, your lips and teeth are filled with fragrance. "Fellow Daoist, you want to ask about the method of riding a cloud. Haha, it's actually very simple." Xuan Ming Zhenren said with a smile, "If you want the cloud to move faster, or to carry mortals and things, you need a spirit in the cloud." "What is a spirit in the cloud?" "The spirit of the world is mysterious and infinite. All things in the world can be spiritual. People can become Taoists when they are spiritual, and things can become monsters when they are spiritual. Mountains can give birth to mountain spirits, water can give birth to water monsters, sculptures of earth and stone can also become spirits, and ethereal things can also be spiritual." Xuanming Zhenren said, "There is an old saying that ghosts are born when there is a lot of fog, and gods are born when there are a lot of clouds. Such magical clouds can be made into feather robes and can also be used to travel." "How can I get it?" "One is to refine the clouds, the other is to look for the clouds." Xuan Ming Zhenren said, "If you want to refine the clouds, you should use your own immortal spirit to nurture them. After a long time, they will naturally give birth to life." He paused, drank a glass of wine, and continued to stroke his beard and said: "If you want to find clouds, haha, I've heard that there are many clouds in the southern Yunzhou, which are ever-changing and beautiful. There are many colorful auspicious clouds and mysterious clouds. If you wait quietly on the top of a high mountain and search at dawn and dusk, you may find an unusual cloud. Of course, you can also refine clouds and search for clouds at the same time, first search for clouds, then nurture them. Some people can even separate one cloud for their spiritual officials to use." "Yunzhou, on the top of a high mountain, at dawn and dusk..." Lin Jue muttered to himself and wrote it down: "Thank you, senior." The sound of the piano changed several times, and the wind in the valley outside the door changed direction several times. The small jar of Thousand Days Wine was finished without me noticing.

The mountain breeze blew the leaves in, adding a touch of green to the pavilion. "Thank you for your guidance, bye." "What are you thanking me for? Daoist friend and I came from Yishan together, and we have a connection to the golden elixir. I don't have any other skills, so this is probably all I can tell you. Besides, haha, I have been idle in the mountains for a hundred years, and I haven't talked to anyone like this for a long time." Xuanming Zhenren said, "Let's go, Daoist friend." So he walked out with Lin Jue. It's just a few steps to the door. This pavilion cave is also strange. Half of the ground inside is in the mountain, and the other half outside is suspended in the air. Several redwood pillars support the eaves diagonally. There is a cliff outside, and there is no road on the cliff that can lead to here. Lin Jue couldn't help but turn his head to look. "What are you looking at, fellow Taoist?" "Did the senior build this palace in the mountains himself?" "Daoyou also want to build a cave?" "Right on my mind." "Haha! That's not it!" Xuanming Zhenren laughed, pointing at several palaces in the mountain, "This is the work of immortals! There is a Zhenren above the Nine Heavens, named Yuzha Zhenren. He loved carpentry when he was alive. After he became a Taoist, he did not change his original intention. Whenever he had free time, he loved to look for sacred woods in the world and made palaces and pavilions. Many palaces in the Nine Heavens were also built by him. This was won from him a hundred years ago when we were drinking and having fun, using two bottles of elixirs as a bet." He paused and said, "Alas, I haven't seen him for a hundred years. I don't know if he is still alive." "It's so beautiful!" "Thank you fellow Taoist for the compliment." "The junior has left." "Come drink with me more often!" "it is good!" Lin Jue took a step forward, and mist gathered under his feet, forming a beautiful white cloud that carried him forward.

Looking back, I looked at the pavilions and caves on the cliff, and the fairy music played by the cranes and rare birds flying among them. But with a gust of mountain wind, the white clouds had drifted away. Then he visited other real people and immortals. …… In a courtyard in the capital, several people gathered here. "Before this, both the North and the South had already pushed their troops to the edge of Qinzhou and Zhongzhou, and the fighting continued. The North and the South sometimes fought, but they rarely advanced further. I heard rumors that it was because the imperial army frequently had divine assistance, either gods descended to the mortal world themselves, or some monsters or Taoists helped fight." Wan Xinrong said to Lin Jue: "Recently, it is said that the North and South have reached an agreement to first conquer Qinzhou and Zhongzhou, and then destroy the imperial court before fighting for the throne!" Lin Jue listened and thought. The imperial court's army was corrupt to begin with, and the fact that it was able to hold out for so long against the armies of Lord Luo and the King of Yue was undoubtedly due to the help of gods. It is forbidden for gods to descend to the mortal world and participate in human disputes according to the laws of heaven. However, looking through history, every time there is a change in the world, gods usually descend to the mortal world in various ways to help their believers. It's just that the method is quite different. Some planned ahead and predicted the rise and fall of the court, so they sent the civil and military gods from heaven to reincarnate and go down to the mortal world to prolong the life of the court. Some secretly supported capable masters, some subdued some monsters or let their mounts and pets transform into monsters and go down to the mortal world, and some went down to the mortal world themselves. This depends not only on whether the Heavenly Venerable is in seclusion or at leisure at the time, but also on the character of the person in power among the Nine Heavens gods at the time, the urgency of the matter, and the strength of the opponent. At this time, Tianweng had obviously reached the end of his rope, and he and the court were almost in the same boat. When it comes to life and death, you naturally don’t care about so many things. This also means one thing - The head-on battle between the gods is approaching, and the head-on battle between the True Lords of the North and the South and the Four Guardian Saints under Tian Weng is also approaching. "You should stay in the capital. It's best not to get involved in the world's struggle. If the capital is breached one day, no matter who attacks from the south or the north, I think they won't be able to hurt you. Remember to tell them that no soldier is allowed to burn, kill, plunder, or do anything reckless in the city, otherwise I will strike them with lightning." "As ordered!" "I will go back to the mountains to practice for a while. If there is anything, please let Brother Bai Lu send me a letter." Lin Jue said, "If a new dynasty is established, talents will definitely be needed. With your abilities, it will be no problem for you to seek wealth and honor in the new dynasty. It's a good opportunity for you to think about whether to seek wealth and honor in the court or follow me to practice in the mountains and pursue immortality and the great way. Don't make a decision in a hurry." "it is good!" Wan Xinrong and the others looked at each other and became a little excited. This is exactly what they wanted. In fact, what else is there to choose from? We are all mortals in this world. We have been listening to stories about gods and immortals since childhood. Those wonderful and infinite magic spells, the romance of the free and easy mountains and rivers, it is not difficult to choose between wealth and glory or eternal life. Lin Jueze had already left on a cloud. …… There is still a mess in Fengshan. The Taoist and the man in flowery robe stood face to face. Lin Jue looked solemn and guilty: "Senior has suffered because of me, I really feel sorry for that."

"What do you mean by suffering because of you? I have long wanted to fight with those gods in heaven!" The man in flowery robes waved his sleeves, "I haven't had enough fights yet!" "The younger generation will seek justice for the older generation." "Why would you ask for it?" The man in the flowery robe squinted his eyes at him. "I heard that you have achieved true enlightenment. You should cherish your hard-earned immortality and save yourself first. Don't interfere in this battle between heaven and earth!" "The juniors know what's going on!" Lin Jue remained calm and unmoved. "I haven't lost a single hair. If you really feel guilty, just treat me to a good meal with good wine and meat. Yes, the braised meat you had last time was pretty good." The man in the flowery robe almost drooled. "Of course, of course." Lin Jue said, "I just wanted to ask Senior Hua if there are any blessed places with abundant spiritual energy in Fengshan that are suitable for spiritual practice?" "In Fengshan? Is there abundant spiritual energy?" The man in the flowery robe immediately looked thoughtful: "In this Fengshan Mountain, the only places with abundant spiritual energy are here, Hongye Temple, and there is a third place, but it is deep in the mountain, so it is not so convenient to go down. Yes, now that you have achieved enlightenment, you can fly in the clouds, which is just right for you to practice in seclusion!" "Yes." "Right here—" Senior Hua stretched out his hand and pointed behind him. Lin Jue turned his head and looked. It happened to be a sunny day today, with a very far view. At a glance, you could see deep into Maple Mountain, the orange sky, the overlapping mountain shadows, cliffs, and misty clouds. If it weren't for the clouds and mist, it would be the kind of place where you wouldn't know how many tigers, leopards, jackals, goblins, and monsters there are at a glance, a place that mortals cannot go to. But with the clouds and mist, there is a bit more fairy air, and it has become the kind of place where no one knows whether there are immortals living in the depths of the clouds and mist, but it is still difficult for mortals to go to. "Good place!" "You want to practice in seclusion here?" "Let's see and then talk." "If you want to build a palace or pavilion and need to move some pillars and bricks, you can call me." Senior Hua said, "My men are not as delicate as your bean soldiers." "must!" "correct--" The man in the flowery robe suddenly looked serious: "I have something to ask you." "Senior, please ask." "Since you have achieved enlightenment and become an immortal, then from your perspective, Taoist Konggu was unable to make any progress in his cultivation. Was he bewitched by a spirit?" Taoist Konggu has been gone for many years, but this question still seems important to the man in flowery robe. Lin Jue looked at him and only replied: "Yes!" The dog-like face of the man in flowery robe was stunned. First it looked a little gloomy, then it looked relieved that a doubt had been resolved, and later on, it even looked a little proud of "I was right". The changes were very fast.

Lin Jue said goodbye to him. The man in the flowery robe stood there and watched him go. I felt a little more proud in my heart—— "Look! Even an immortal who has achieved enlightenment has to be respectful and polite to us!" Later he would tell the younger generations that when he first met Master Lin, he had not yet achieved enlightenment. The two had a fight due to a misunderstanding. Master Lin felt sorry for him and spared his life, and that was how they became friends. At this time, Lin Jue rode on the white cloud and took a trip to the depths of Fengshan Mountain. He looked at both the terrain and the spiritual charm of that place. He was very satisfied with the dense green mountains, beautiful scenery and abundant spiritual charm of that place. Even the location has been preliminarily selected. Then he flew to Hongye Temple. After becoming enlightened, there are still many things to do. To find the spiritual clouds, to build a cave. We must comprehend the truth of the great way and the magical powers. Yunzhou is so big that Lingyun doesn’t know where to look for him, nor how long he will have to wait. Although a place had been chosen, unless the fox was allowed to dig a cave, the wooden pillars, mortise and tenon joints, bricks and tiles, wall plaster, tables, chairs and wooden furniture would all be needed, but no one knew where to get them. Of course, the most important thing is to protect the Holy Lord. (End of this chapter)
