Chapter 451: Climbing Jade Mountain Alone with a Sword Watch the red leaves on Maple Mountain, the rolling clouds and the lines of smoke from cooking. On the platform in front of the temple, a tiny man, less than half a person's height, but dressed in a well-fitting gray-white Taoist robe, squatted in front of the stove, tilted his head to look into the stove, and put firewood into the stove. A colorful beetle sat beside him and gave instructions: "Stir it up!" "Why stir it?" "I don't know! I see people stir it when they cook!" said Caili. "Oh……" The little Taoist boy didn't know why, but he did as he was told. Suddenly the colorful cat raised its head and looked towards the sky. In its eyes, which were shrunk into a vertical slit, a egret and a crow flew over one after the other. The egret looked snow-white under the light, while the crow looked colorful.

Two birds fell down one after another, one turned into a Taoist priest, and the other turned into a white fox. Lin Jue sniffed immediately. The sweet aroma of white porridge hits you in the face. Then he looked at the small pot on the stove and the little Taoist boy beside it. "Did you know I'm coming back today? The meal is already cooked." The little Taoist boy stood up and instinctively ran back two steps, as if he wanted to find his master. After running two steps, he stopped and looked at the Taoist, puzzled and alert: "who are you?" "You don't recognize me? Zhang Ziyun." Lin Jue didn't find it strange, because she was not old enough to remember things at that time. "How do you know I'm Zhang Ziyun?" "Of course I know." "who are you?" "I'm your uncle Lin Fangjue. Did your master tell you? I held you in my arms before I left the capital. You couldn't speak at that time." Lin Jue looked down at the porridge bubbling on the small stove. "I didn't expect that you not only learned to speak, but also learned to cook. That's great. This is the true tradition of our Yishan." "My uncle's name is not Lin Fangjue! His name is Lin Jue!" "it's all me." At this time, the fox had already met the raccoon and started jumping and dancing like a lion in the air. Lin Jue couldn't help feeling a little emotional. After a long trip, I didn't feel how long it had been, nor did I feel that I had changed much. But when I came back, I found that my child, who couldn't remember anything at the time, could already speak. Then I suddenly realized that this is how the change of time is reflected. "Where is your master?" "Master is sleeping in the house." Ziyun looked up at him, "I'm cooking here." "Why are you still sleeping so late?"

"Master is sick." Ziyun said. "She's injured!" Xiaohua's voice came from the side, "She went to the north to fight monsters last month and got injured. She loves to sleep since she came back. She's almost healed!" For the cat, getting injured while hunting or fighting didn't seem to be a big deal. As long as it could survive, it didn't matter. So after saying that, it continued to dance with the fox and the lion. However, Lin Jue immediately frowned: "Which monster is she fighting? Haven't all the monsters in the north been eliminated? What monster can hurt her? Last month, I asked Taoist Bai Lu to help deliver a letter, and you replied to my letter. Weren't you all fine at that time?" There are several questions in a row. "I went there after I replied to the letter!" The beetle stopped dancing the lion, and the fox also stopped to wait for it. "It's a new monster from the north, a tiger ghost. It said there was a war over there and many people died, so the tiger ghost moved here from far away, practicing there and harming people." Caili paused as he spoke: "The Taoist priest of Yushan knew about it first, but he couldn't deal with it! The Taoist priest of Yushan knew that Junior Sister had accepted a disciple, and he didn't want Junior Sister to accept a disciple, so he came over and said that if Junior Sister wanted to accept a disciple here, she had to go and kill the monster! Junior Sister went! She got injured! And she can accept a disciple now!" After saying that, he waited for Lin Jue to continue asking. The fox waited for it to answer and then continued dancing. Lin Jue walked quickly into the house. Seeing this, the cat and the fox gave up playing at the same time and ran after him, one in front and one behind. When he pushed open the door of the chapel room, he saw a pretty Taoist lady half-lying on the bed, embroidering a small Taoist robe with needle and thread. Her face was still a little pale, and her hair was messy, just like when she was chopping wood in the mountains. While she was threading the needle, she looked at Lin Jue, smiled slightly, and said: "Senior...brother..." But his voice was weak and hoarse: "Why did you spend so much time chatting with the kids outside..." "How come you were so seriously injured?" "It's just a minor injury...it's almost healed..." "What kind of monster is that? How could it be so powerful?" “There are mountains beyond mountains…there are people beyond people…” The Taoist woman on the bed was barely breathing, but she was smiling. It was unknown whether it was because she was weak after being injured or because she had accepted a disciple, but Lin Jue felt that this time, she seemed much gentler than before, “Anyway, I’m the winner…” Lin Jue didn't care about that. He just frowned and said, "Is what Xiaohua said true? Did those Taoist priests from Yushan ask you to fight such a powerful monster?" "Master Yushan... Master Yushan has his own principles... I have my own reasons for going... This is also my practice..." "Bullshit practice! Bullshit principles!" Lin Jue was clearly feeling angry. Those Yushan Taoists are so abominable—— I once fought side by side with them in the northeast of Qinzhou, and I also took my fellow brothers to rescue them. After coming back, I also took the opportunity of saving the poor people to build roads for them as a gesture of goodwill. As a result, not only did they not appreciate my affection and kindness, they even designed to seriously injure my little sister! "Do you know, brothers?" "do not know……" "Okay! I'm enough! I'll be back soon!" "Where are you going..." "Looking for a mind that can understand!"

How can such unfair grudges be allowed to continue in the process of refining the elixir and achieving enlightenment? A long sword appeared in Lin Jue's hand. As soon as he finished speaking, before the little junior sister could open her mouth to say anything else, he suddenly exploded like a gust of wind and flew out of the window. At this moment, I had nothing else in my mind except my junior sister. Seeing this, the fox turned its head to look out the window, then glanced at the colorful civet with the corner of its eye. Suddenly, it jumped up, and while the colorful civet was not paying attention, it knocked it to the ground. Then it turned into a white shadow and followed the Taoist priest. …… Outside the capital, the Jade Mountain has already shown autumn colors. Before this, except for King Jinhua of the Northwest, Queen Mother Doudong of the Northeast, Taoist Priest Yushan had all made considerable contributions. Because of this, and at a time of turmoil in the world, the incense of Yushan was particularly prosperous. The newly built road a few years ago has now been trampled into an old road. There are thousands of steps going up the mountain, and people are everywhere going up and down. Countless people were climbing up with bent backs, and countless people were leaning down to go down the mountain. The Taoist temple was crowded with people inside and outside the courtyard. The green smoke gathered into a dragon and went straight up into the sky, so that the cloud above the Taoist temple was burned with a bit of smoky jade color. But suddenly, there was a strong wind in the sky. The first thing to be hit was the green smoke. When the strong wind came, the green smoke was easily blown away and disappeared without a trace. Next came the clouds overhead. It was also torn apart by the strong wind. "call!" There was flying sand and rocks in the Taoist temple, which made the incense sticks burn brightly, sparks flew, ashes danced, and it was fascinating. The pilgrims in the temple covered their eyes for some unknown reason. "what happened?" "Why did the wind suddenly pick up?" Just when I was wondering, I suddenly heard a voice from the sky: "I am Lin Fangjue! Today I have a discussion with Taoist friend Yushan about our grievances. All pilgrims, please leave the mountain quickly to avoid any accidental injuries!" When everyone first heard about Lin Fangjue, they were overjoyed. Most people know that there is a Taoist priest named Lin in the capital, who is very powerful in Taoism and is good at exorcising demons. He used to be often seen buying vegetables and eating porridge on the streets of the capital. However, after exorcising the demon in the Northeast, no one knew where this Taoist priest went and he has not appeared for several years. Some people who didn't know the answer were immediately surprised when they heard from people around them that this was Master Lin's Taoist name. Master Lin is back. Wouldn’t we be able to broaden our horizons today? But after hearing the last sentence, I felt a little helpless again. What Taoism are you talking about? If it was just a discussion of Taoism, they would want to stay and watch, to broaden their horizons, but when they heard the words "grudge" and "accidental injury", they were confused. But at this time, there was a strong wind in the sky. At first there were only flying sand and rocks and flaming meteors. Soon the trees in the Taoist temple were shaking wildly, and the bamboo branches behind the temple were quickly pressed down. There was an ear-piercing whimpering sound in the air. After a while, even the tiles on the roof of the temple were blown down, and hit the ground with a clanging sound. In this capital city, it seemed as if a big storm was brewing, the kind that only occurred at the seaside or in the Western Regions.

Even the Taoist priests from Yushan who were in the temple came out and looked up at the sky in panic and vigilance. "Leave quickly!" "Leave quickly!" Voices kept coming from the air, as if they were floating from above their heads, and as if they were ringing in their ears, urging them to leave the Taoist temple. "Let's go! When I was at Jingyun Temple before, I also heard Master Lin's voice urging us to leave. As a result, Jingyun Temple was demolished by the Heavenly Soldiers that night!" "I know about Jingyun Temple! Could it be that Taoist Master Yushan is also a demon?" "I don't know! Let's go!" Many pilgrims went down the mountain and gradually went away. At this time, an old Taoist priest walked out of the Taoist temple, looked up at the sky, and vaguely saw a figure carried by the wind. He asked in a deep voice: "Fellow Taoist, why is this happening?" "You are such a good Taoist priest from Yushan! How dare you plot to make my junior sister fight the big monster and cause her to be seriously injured!" "It's common to get injured when exorcising demons, so how can this be considered a plan?" "Isn't it? What do you have to say?" "In the current chaotic world, isn't it the duty of cultivators like us to exorcise demons? Although the Lingfa School is not as worldly as the Fulu School, how can we not be involved in the karma of the world when we practice in the human world? My Yushan Baiqing Palace has been built here for thousands of years, and we have never slacked off in exorcising demons for the people of Qinzhou. I don't know how many disciples have died or been injured over the past thousands of years, and that's how we took root in Yushan! You want to bring the inheritance of Yishan to Qinzhou, share my Yushan's incense offerings and the world's reputation, and naturally you have to share the responsibility of exorcising demons! What's wrong with asking you to exorcise a monster?" "What nonsense! When I was in the Northeast, I went to rescue you because I appreciated your hard work in exorcising demons. After I came back, I saw that your road was damaged, so I asked people to repair it for you. But you, the dog Taoist priests, took advantage of my absence to treat my junior sister like this!" "Don't be rude! My Baiqing Palace's ancestral precept is that no other spiritual Taoist temples can invade Qinzhou. We are thinking of you and I fighting monsters together in Modu Mountain, and you building roads for us. We have been arguing for half a month, and we have decided to break the ancestral rules and let your junior sister fight the new tiger demon. After you kill it, we will let your Yishan inheritance take root in Qinzhou, and we will no longer care about your Hongye Temple!" The old Taoist priest below was also furious, pointing at Lin Jue, "Now not only do you not appreciate it, but you also accuse me, are so rude, insulting and abusive. Do you think I, Yushan, am afraid of you?" "Boom!" A huge bolt of lightning descended from the sky, like a leafless branch growing upside down. It vaguely looked a bit like Mount Modu, a bit like the East China Sea, and a bit like the Western Regions. Although there was no other magic, it still had an aura that oppressed people's hearts. "No need to say more!" A voice came from the sky: "Now my sister is seriously injured and lying in bed, and I am alone on Mount Yu with a sword. Am I here to reason with you?" When the pilgrims on the mountain looked back, the thunder had already fallen on Baiqing Palace. A handful of beans were scattered into the air and transformed into dozens of heavenly soldiers that descended and tightly surrounded the palace on the mountain. In the middle there was also a giant armored god that was bigger than the mountain top. It landed with a loud bang and caused the mountain to collapse under its feet. (End of this chapter)
