Chapter 348 No wonder the gods love to ride on cranes "Junior sister, we are waiting for you at Second Senior Brother's place!" A sound was heard from the blue sky, and then a white egret was seen flapping its wings leisurely, rising slowly into the air. The junior sister still raised her head with a dazed expression. I lowered my head again, looked at my legs, looked at the package I was carrying, scratched my head, and actually felt a little stupid. Turning my eyes, I saw a colorful cat next to me, also looking up at the sky. "You're stupid too!" The junior sister said something to it. There was no other way, so she had to pick up the cat and stuff it into her bag. She raised her hand to salute Mr. Luo, Master Fan and others beside her, and with a little force on her feet, she left like a gust of wind. There were many people in the city, so she had to restrain herself. Once she was out of the city, she walked freely. Her body was as light as a swallow, her feet were as fast as the wind, and her speed was even faster than that of a egret.
From time to time, look up at the sky. He lowered his head again to identify the direction of the road. …… The egret flies slowly but steadily, its body always stays in one line without any ups and downs. Even when it rises or falls, it is still very stable. Even when it flaps its wings, it is as leisurely and gentle as if people are watching from below, neither fast nor slow, without causing any big vibrations. After this Taoist egret became acquainted with Lin Jue, it ate a lot of non-toxic medicinal residues and drank some spiritual liquids. It has obviously grown much larger than an ordinary egret and is almost catching up with a white crane. Its strength and intelligence are also far beyond those of ordinary egrets and cranes. It is already on the path to enlightenment. After becoming smaller, Lin Jue and the fox became insignificant on its back, both in terms of weight and size. After Lin Jue got used to it a little, he felt that he was sitting on a platform which was not very flat but spacious. With his newly learned wall-walking skills, he did not have to worry about falling. Plus, it was very stable, which made him feel much more comfortable and relaxed than he had originally thought. Just like my own fox at this moment—— This little thing was not afraid at all. It had already walked to the edge of the egret's body, looked down a few times, then looked back at itself, then walked back and sat down, scratching its head with its hind paws. As easy as being on the ground. Lin Jue also slowly stood up. "call……" No matter how slowly the egret flies, there is always a noticeable wind in the air. It was fine when I was sitting, but as soon as I stood up, all my clothes and hair were blown by the wind. Lin Jue walked slowly against the wind to the edge of the egret, close to the neck and wings. He looked down and could see the vast mountains and rivers, the square ancient city, and the imperial palace in the middle. "So this is what the capital city looks like." Lin Jue simply sat down and looked down quietly. The people walking in the streets, the children looking up at the egrets, the courtyard where he lived, the government office of Juxianfu, the Guanxing Palace and even the Zhenjian Palace outside the city, the Jade Mountain and the Taoist temple on the mountain farther away, all entered his eyes from a different angle, forming a completely different picture from when he was underground. The spring scenery accompanied by the spring breeze makes people feel comfortable and refreshed. The high altitude brings a broad perspective and makes people open-minded. The two together form a rare sense of freedom.
Wisps of clouds and mist passed by me. It’s as if I’m a god too. "No wonder the gods in stories like to ride on cranes." Lin Jue was naturally happy, and couldn't help wondering when he could fly away on the clouds like a real immortal. It was a beautiful spring day. Outside the capital, countless scholars and wealthy ladies were enjoying the spring on the green hills, drinking, chatting, reciting poems and composing couplets. White egrets flew leisurely not far from the top of the hills. I wonder if anyone was moved by this and wrote a poem. There were children flying kites on the mountain. A white egret flying in the sky was almost at the same level as the kite. When the children saw it, they pointed at it and shouted loudly, "What a crane!" When they saw the Taoist priests walking on treetops and river valleys, they exclaimed that they were immortals. All the sounds reached Lin Jue's ears. In just two or three quarters of an hour, you can see the scenery of hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers. We left home at noon and arrived in Langfeng County by the afternoon. Another important reason was that Lin Jue was not familiar with the road from the capital to Langfeng County. Moreover, when viewed from the sky, even familiar places became strange and bizarre, making him even less familiar. There was only a fox's paw print that could help him identify the direction, but a long time had already passed. You must identify the direction and find the Taoist temple. The egret circled in the air for several times, and with the help of a wisp of green smoke, it finally found the Taoist temple deep in the mountains. Then the egret just spread its wings and flew down slowly, straight into the Taoist temple. It flapped its wings a few times only when it was very close to the ground. "brush……" The pear tree in the Taoist temple was still dry, but suddenly a white egret flew over the branch and it began to tremble. What is strange is that even though Second Brother’s Taoist temple is so remote, there are still two pilgrims during the Spring Festival. There are only pilgrims but no Taoists. Just as the two pilgrims walked out of the temple, a egret suddenly flew over. They couldn't help but turn their heads and look at the treetops. It was a egret, or like a white crane, with a pure white body, spotless, a crest on its head, and an elegant posture. It stood on the treetop, but made a strange movement of shifting its body. Inexplicably gives people a feeling of being a "dismissal guest". Just like a smart horse that helps its owner get off. Then something surprising happened to them - It seemed as if a human figure really came down from the back of the egret. It was not clear, but then a white smoke rose up, and a human figure really fell to the ground in the smoke. When the smoke dissipated, it turned out to be a young Taoist priest. "This……" They were both stunned and looked at each other. The Taoist priest came down from the crane... What is this if not a fairy? "what?"
But the immortal seemed a little surprised when he saw them, then he smiled and saluted them, and said: "Don't be surprised, my two believers. I am the junior brother of the owner of this Taoist temple. I know that this Taoist temple is located in a remote area. My senior brother also likes peace and quiet, and thought that no pilgrims would come. So, haha, if I have surprised you two believers, I would like to apologize." When the two heard this, they were shocked again and hurriedly returned the greeting. As he raised his hand and bowed, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at her again. It is true that this Taoist temple is located in a remote place, but a person who loves to drink will not avoid buying wine just because the alley is too deep. The real wine will never fail to spread its fame just because the alley is too deep. In the same way, most of the real immortals and masters of Taoism are in the mountains, but they hide from the world because of the mountains, and the mountains are named after immortals. Anyone who is sincere to Taoism will not avoid visiting immortals just because the mountains are high and the roads are far. There are immortals living in this Taoist temple, and the rumor spreads throughout Langfeng County. Even though it is located in a remote area, people still come here to burn incense during festivals. There just aren't many people. However, I never thought that when I came here today just to relax, I would actually encounter a fairy visiting me. The fairy opened his mouth and said that he was the junior brother of the owner of this Taoist temple. I knew that there were immortals living here, but who knew that they were real immortals. The two exchanged glances and were about to speak when they suddenly heard: "It's not enough for outsiders." When I raised my head again, the immortal had already turned and left. A white fox hopped after him. When he walked to the back of the Taoist temple, the owner of the temple had already noticed his arrival and was standing at the door of the Alchemy Pavilion, looking at him quietly. He was a Taoist wearing an extremely loose Taoist robe with wide sleeves. Although he looked young, his eyes and brows showed obvious signs of middle age. His expression was as calm as ever. "Senior brother, long time no see." "Long time no see." The second brother remained calm, "How did you get here?" "I came on an egret." "Egret?" The second brother glanced up at the sky. "If you are interested in learning new magic, I can teach you. It will be much more convenient for us to visit each other in the future." "Why did you come to me suddenly?" "Of course I miss my brother." "Then why not during the New Year?" "It's too cold during the New Year, the magic hasn't been delivered yet, and the timing is not right." "Um……" The second brother was always of a calm nature. He nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He just looked behind him: "Where's Junior Sister?" "It's right behind me. It's almost there." As they were talking, two pilgrims discussed for a moment and were about to go down the mountain when they saw a Taoist priest coming on bamboo branches from the treetops. He was as light as a bird and brought a breeze that caused the woods to shake. He then directly jumped over the wall and entered the Taoist temple. The two pilgrims were stunned again.
"I'm here." Lin Jue smiled at his second senior brother, "Senior brother, you have to thank us. Anyway, as long as you hide in the Alchemy Pavilion, attracting a few more pilgrims will not disturb your peace. On the contrary, it can save you the time of going to the city to buy things or exchanging money for things in the mountains." "You look a bit like the third brother." The second brother glanced at him, shook his clothes, and walked out quickly. The three of them met in the backyard. The little junior sister's cheeks were flushed. She was carrying a package and breathing heavily, but she seemed to be enjoying it. "Second senior brother!" As soon as the little sister saw the second senior brother, she smiled and shouted. When she saw Lin Jue, she took off the package and handed it to him, saying, "Senior brother, your luggage." Lin Jue noticed the gaze directed at him by his second senior brother. He had no choice but to pretend he didn't see it, took the small bag, took out the colorful cat from it and threw it on the ground, then took out his sister's luggage from the cloth bag and handed it back to her. The colorful beaver stretched lazily. The fox licked the fur on his chest. "Brother, how are you?" asked the younger sister. "There's food and drink, everything is normal." The second brother replied, glancing at Lin Jue, "I've heard a lot of rumors about 'Master Lin' in the capital." "Ah? It's all here!" The junior sister was so tired that she hadn't even caught her breath yet, but she seemed unaware of it and replied as usual with surprise. "The pilgrims said so." The second brother said, "It seems that you two have made great progress in Taoism." "I'm very hardworking! And my senior brother found a Five Elements Spiritual Technique that suits me. I'm practicing it now, and it's very powerful!" said the little junior sister, and then looked left and right, as if looking for something, "Senior brother, didn't you say in your letter that you wanted to take in a disciple? Where is the disciple?" "Didn't find the right one." "I see……" The junior sister seemed a little disappointed, but also relieved. "You guys came to see me for something, right?" "I miss you, brother!" "You learned this from your junior brother, right?" "Yes." The little sister nodded, and then said honestly, "My little brother got the Great Yin-Yang Method, so he came to find you brothers." "Ok?" The second brother stopped immediately. His usually calm expression became solemn. (End of this chapter)
