Changliang Mountain has strong aura and gentle breeze from all sides.
The top of the mountain is faintly shining with holy light, as if there are immortals practicing here, and the mountains are spiritual because of the immortals.
Qin Yao and Jiu Shu stepped onto the mountain climbing stone steps together. Not long after they walked, bursts of fragrance came from both sides. Various flowers gradually appeared on both sides of the mountain road. The fragrance was fragrant and made people feel relaxed and happy.
After climbing three hundred and sixty-five stone steps, the two finally arrived at the top of the mountain. Suddenly, they felt something. Looking up, they saw a man with a long beard wearing a blue Taoist robe and long flowing sleeves. The immortal stood in front of a temple and looked at them with a smile.
"Meet the Patriarch." The two transformed into flowing light, quickly came to each other, and bowed to worship.
Xiao Maojun chuckled and waved: "You guys came much faster than I thought."
The two stood up straight, and Uncle Jiu immediately responded: "It's our good fortune, and it's a smooth journey." , I just traveled thousands of miles."
"Good luck... This is a better answer." Xiao Maojun laughed.
Uncle Jiu bowed again: "You have thanked me."
Xiao Maojun stretched out his hands and helped him up: "Didn't I say it before, don't bow easily, even more Don’t kneel down all the time, it’s too troublesome.”
"Thank you, Grandmaster, for your grace." Master and apprentice said in unison.
Xiao Maojun held Uncle Jiu's wrist with one hand and Qin Yao's wrist with the other, leading them towards the temple: "Let's go, let's go into the house and say."
General The temple is called a temple because there are statues of gods there.
The temple on Changliang Mountain is a temple in the true sense just because Xiao Maojun is here!
After the three of them entered the temple, Qin Yao was surprised to find that this was a very simple ancient temple, not the cave in the temple that he had imagined.
It can be seen that Xiao Maojun's life must not be luxurious, but closer to pure nature.
"Sit, sit down." Xiao Maojun turned around and sat in front of a pill furnace, smiling and saying.
The master and the apprentice were sitting on the futon facing the old man's house. Qin Yao asked curiously: "There are so many futons in the temple, why can't we see the disciples of the ancestor?"
Little Mao Jun explained: "The disciples I had earlier all have a bright future now. In the past three hundred years, I have not had any new disciples, so this Chang Liang The mountain became purified. As time went by, I felt that this sense of purity was more suitable for practice, and even the Taoist disciples were dismissed. I was the only one who lived in the entire Changliang Mountain. "
Master and disciple suddenly realized. , Uncle Jiu was a rare flatterer: "Only if you can endure loneliness can you maintain prosperity. The founder of the family is really the true Taoist."
Xiao Maojun chuckled, not feeling embarrassed by this flattery.
Because in his consciousness, he really has attained the truth.
"Lin Jiu, you can stay in Changliang Mountain and practice Taoism with me from now on." After a while, Xiao Maojun arranged.
Uncle Jiu nodded silently: "Yes, Grandmaster."
"As for you." Xiao Maojun turned to look at Qin Yao: "Tomorrow morning, follow me to the heaven. ”
"Yes, Master Patriarch." Qin Yao said respectfully, having a clear understanding of Sanmao Zhenjun's status in front of the Queen Mother.
To be able to see the Queen Mother and beg for grace at any time is something that only an absolute confidant can do.
It seems that after Damao Zhenjun became the son-in-law of Emperor Dongyue, Xiaomao Zhenjun was favored by the Queen Mother even more than before.
Afterwards, Xiao Maojun gave instructions to the master and the apprentice on the Taoist method until late at night, and arranged a place for them to stay.
Really treat them as relatives, not ordinary juniors.
That night.
The moon and stars are sparse, and Zen insects are chirping.
Qin Yao sat cross-legged in the middle of the bed. He tried many times but could not calm down and practice Taoism. After all, he was too worried about meeting the Queen Mother tomorrow.
Even though he has been reincarnated so many times, the unmasked Queen Mother is still the highest god he can come into contact with.
In countless mythological stories, such as the Fairy Pair, Lotus Lamp, Journey to the West, Journey to the East, etc., the Queen Mother is the heroine of heaven and has the power to control the laws of heaven.
Not to mention that in the ancient system, the Queen Mother was a quasi-sage. Except for those few quasi-sages who were powerful in the ancient world, they were all at the pinnacle of immortality in terms of power and strength.
Facing such a powerful person, it is strange that he can deal with it indifferently.
Unable to remain still, he simply got out of bed, walked out of the room, melted into the night, and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
If nothing unexpected happens, there should be a Guanghan Palace on the bright moon. I don’t know if there is Wu Gang who is conquering Guangxi outside the palace, and whether there is the alluring Chang’e inside the palace.
Moving to think, Qin Yao flew up and shot straight towards the bright moon.
After a long time, he came to the outskirts of the Taiyin Star and saw the dense osmanthus forest, but he could not see Wu Gang; he saw the Guanghan Palace that looked like an ice city, but he could not feel the slightest breath of life.
Qin Yao was curious and continued to move forward. The divine light of runes suddenly shone in front of him, condensing into a transparent barrier that enveloped the entire moon, isolating the inside and outside.
“Is this the portal to the Taiyin Star?”
Qin Yao murmured to himself, reaching out to touch the barrier.
“Boom!”
When its fingers came into contact with the light curtain, a burst of divine power suddenly rushed out, blasting it directly into the sky. It fell back thousands of meters in the starry sky, and its body almost burst.
“Damn, this is a fierce formation.”
Qin Yao was barely fixed in the air, with lingering fears.
He almost had his body exploded after just touching it. One can imagine what terrible consequences would be if he launched an attack on the barrier.
"Chang'e can no longer be seen." After this, Qin Yao's restless mood finally calmed down, and he took a deep look at the lunar star in the distance, which turned into a stream of light and fell towards Changliang Mountain.
When it landed in front of the temple, Xiao Maojun walked out of the temple door facing the rising sun and said, "Let's go to the heaven."
"Yes." Qin Yao bowed and said.
With a thought in Xiao Maojun's mind, a white cloud rose up from their feet, lifting them up into the sky.
"Master, didn't you ask where I went last night?" Qin Yao stood silently behind Xiao Maojun during the flight and asked softly.
Xiao Maojun chuckled and said: "Where have you been? Why do you need to report to me? It's good if you can come back before dawn and don't delay the lady in front of you."
Qin Yao nodded silently and said frankly: "I went to Taiyin Star last night..."
"I didn't go in." Xiao Maojun said casually.
Qin Yao: "The entire star was surrounded by a fierce formation. I touched it and my body was almost exploded."
Xiao Maojun said meaningfully: "Remember Follow this lesson and you must understand some things It can't be touched. Marshal Tianpeng touched something he shouldn't touch, so he was thrown into the human world to be a pig. Do you want to be a pig?"
Qin Yao shuddered and shook his head quickly. : "I don't want to."
From then on, he gave up the idea of sneaking away to see Chang'e in the future...
During the conversation, Xiao Maojun took Qin Yao to the Nantian Gate and slowly landed on the clouds. Looking up at the majestic, tall and huge portal shining with divine brilliance, Qin Yao felt a sense of depression and did not dare to be presumptuous at all.
He knew that this gate must also be a powerful and fierce formation. Not to mention it was guarded by powerful people. Even if it was unguarded, ordinary immortals would not be able to break in.
"True Lord." A general walked out of the Tianmen, followed by a group of heavenly soldiers.
"I have met the King of Heaven." Xiao Maojun returned the greeting.
Qin Yao stood behind Xiao Maojun and secretly looked at the general. He was wearing green armor and holding a long sword, looking majestic.
"Qin Yao, this god is the King of Growth in the South, and he is ordered to guard the Nantian Gate. Why don't you pay your respects quickly?" Seeing the King turning his head to look behind him, Xiao Maojun said immediately.
"Qin Yao, the descendant of Maoshan, pays homage to the King of Heaven." Qin Yao bowed and said.
There is no way, the strength is too low, the seniority is too young, if this waist is not bowed, it will be suspected of being too big.
He is a little immortal who doesn't even have an official status in Heaven. How can he be qualified to be a great leader in Heaven?
As for the official body of the underworld...
The underworld Yama has to pay tribute to the King of Growth when he comes to heaven!
"No gifts, no gifts." The King of Growth waved his hand, then smiled and said: "Xiao Maojun brought him here because..."
Xiao Maojun: "Go and see him. Queen Mother, please give him grace.”
The King of Growth was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Qin Yao with a different look: "Good luck to you. As far as I know, Xiaomao Zhenjun has not asked for grace from the empress for thousands of years."
Qin Yao said humbly. : "It all depends on the founder's favor."
Xiao Mao Junwen Yan suddenly felt a little complacent, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "This boy is pretty good, but he can become an immortal within a hundred years in the human world."
The King of Growth Heaven said in surprise: "In the human world... That is indeed worth cultivating.”
Practice also depends on the environment.
If it were in the lower realm of immortality, becoming an immortal within a hundred years would be nothing, and it wouldn't even be called a genius.
But in a place like the human world, someone who can attain immortality in a mere hundred years is considered a freak.
After all, there is no chance to become an immortal in this world.
Xiao Maojun felt happy, and his smile became more genuine: "Yes, so I came to heaven to sell my old face, and wanted to find an official position for this child."
" The future is promising." The King of Growth laughed and waved: "Let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Pang, Liu, Gou, Bi, Deng, Xin and other generals behind him led the heavenly troops to get out of the way.
"Thank you, Heavenly King." Xiao Maojun cupped his hands and led Qin Yao through the Heavenly Gate and into the Heavenly Palace.
The Heavenly Palace is majestic and filled with golden light.
I saw the glazed tiles of the fairy palace, the walls of precious jade, the colorful rainbow connecting the white clouds, and a fairy palace standing on top of the big cloud.
Qin Yao glanced at it and found out that there were thirty-three fairy palaces in total. Each fairy palace had several treasure halls, and golden dragons were wrapped around the big pillars in the halls.
Xiao Maojun led him straight forward, and unknowingly entered the interior of the Heavenly Palace. He met more heavenly generals, immortals, goddesses, and heavenly concubines.
The low-ranking priests saluted Mr. Xiao Mao one after another with great respect. When high-ranking priests meet them, they will stop and chat with each other for a while, which shows Xiao Maojun's good popularity in the palace.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Maojun led Qin Yao to a divine palace filled with fairy spirit. He saw the Tianhe water flowing in front of the palace and a white jade pond on the water.
There were countless elixirs and fairy flowers growing in the water, which made Qin Yao's eyes heat up.
These are all magical things that can make him great tonic, but in the end he was just looking at the flowers in front of this door.
Xiao Maojun took out a handful of spiritual grain from his arms, climbed onto the bridge, and fed the crane standing on the wall of the jade bridge.
The cranes took turns coming to him, lowering their heads to eat the spiritual grains, and nuzzling his body from time to time.
Qin Yao's heart moved, and he looked at Xiao Maojun carefully, but heard the other party ask in a low voice: "He'er, He'er, how are you feeling today?"
The crane came close to his arms, Qin Yao couldn't hear what he said clearly, but he saw Xiao Maojun's smile.
"Let's go." After stroking the heads of many cranes one by one, Xiao Maojun turned around and said.
‘Grandmaster is awesome. ’ Qin Yao admired in his heart and quickly followed up with him.
"Three officials, please save your life, Xiao Maojun, please see the Queen Mother." In a blink of an eye, Xiao Maojun came to the palace and bowed.
Qin Yao subconsciously followed and bowed, although he didn't know if anyone would see it.
"Come in." Soon, a sacred and majestic voice came from the palace.
Xiao Maojun stood up straight, led Qin Yao into the main hall, raised his eyes to look at the graceful woman sitting on the high platform of the main hall, and praised: "The empress is even more elegant than before."
"I flatter you as soon as I come up, so you must have something to ask for."
On the phoenix chair on the high platform, a head of black hair is spread around the white jade neck, with a little bit of light shining in her eyes, and the dignified young woman with a peerless appearance is smiling. Staring at the two people below.
Xiao Maojun smiled brightly, even flatteringly: "Your Highness, Shengming, I come here this time to ask for your favor."
"Say it." The Queen Mother He spoke.
Xiao Maojun pulled Qin Yao in front of him and said sincerely: "This child came from the human world and became an immortal in a hundred years. The little immortal was grateful for his good fortune and talent, so he wanted to recommend him. To the empress.”
The queen mother turned to look at Qin Yao and asked with a smile: "My child, what is your name?"
Qin Yao bowed and said: "Reporting to the queen, my name is Qin Yao."
< br>He could not be called a subordinate, nor could he be called a lower official. Remembering Xiao Zhuo's instructions to him, he simply placed himself in an extremely low position.
"Qin Yao..." The Queen Mother looked at him deeply and said, "It is really rare that you can walk from the human world to heaven."
Qin Yao said: "Walking all the way Come, it all depends on the teacher’s cultivation.”
"It's good not to forget your roots." The Queen Mother said with a smile: "Some people feel that their achievements are all the result of one person's efforts. They are their own amazing talents, and the help of others is always the icing on the cake."
Qin Yao didn't know which one she was talking about, and he didn't dare to echo it randomly, so he lowered his head and remained silent.
After a while, the Queen Mother came to her senses and asked: "Qin Yao, do you want to stay in the heaven, or do you want to go to the lower realm of immortality?"
Qin Yao thought about it. Thinking about it, he said frankly: "Reporting to the Queen, I don't know the difference."
The Queen Mother smiled and said with a smile: "The immortal energy in Heaven is rich. If you stay in Heaven, your cultivation speed will be faster.< br>
But the disadvantage is that there have been no idle positions in the Heavenly Court for many years. If you stay in the Heavenly Court, you can only start as a heavenly soldier. Your daily work is either training with the army or standing guard in front of certain palace gates, waiting for orders at any time.
If you go to the lower realm, I can give you land or the status of a mountain god, and let you go outside and keep the land. The disadvantage is that the spiritual energy in the lower realm of immortality is thin, and unless you have great achievements in the future, it is difficult to be promoted..."
