Chapter 50: So It Was an Old Acquaintance

Here, cultivators and mortals live together, and cultivation is not as mysterious as in the east. There are no restrictions around the sacred mountain where the Green Dragon Cave is located, and the three of them arrived at the foot of Wangchun Mountain very smoothly.

Wangchun Mountain didn't look big from afar, but only after walking close did they find the land was wide and the mountain was high, and people at the foot of the mountain were like ants.

Under the cover of ancient trees and green vines, there were many small stone paths winding from the foot of the mountain to the top.

A few people were now standing in front of a wooden archway at the foot of the mountain. The archway was about two zhang high and about two zhang wide, with two plaques, one big and one small, one above and one below, engraved on the top.

On the small plaque above were four characters,

Standing majestically in the east of heaven.

On the big plaque below were also four characters,

Spiritually protecting the southwest.

The couplets on both sides were:

Green dragon coiled, the spirit is refreshing; the cave heaven hangs high, protecting the family and the country.

Cheng Yunqi read the words lightly, only feeling that this Green Dragon Temple had a magnificent momentum. Looking at Wangchun Mountain again, it really looked like a green dragon coiled up.

However, the wood Qi here was extremely abundant, and all kinds of fine vines and wild flowers were entangled on the archway, which added a touch of elegance to the archway that was already majestic and unparalleled.

There was a thatched hut in front of each side of the archway, with people guarding them. Seeing the three people and one dog wandering over, they didn't stop them.

Approaching, a Daoist walked out of the hut on the left. He looked to be about forty years old, dressed in a green Daoist robe, looking scholarly and elegant, but his aura was restrained, his breathing was long, and it was impossible to tell what realm he was in.

"Ancestor!"

Hu Jinliu saw the Daoist walk out of the hut, his eyes lit up, and he rushed forward a few steps and knelt down, kowtowing and bowing.

This scared Cheng Yunqi. How could this reckless person who was just acting shamelessly be like this?

No wonder he said easily that he had been to the Green Dragon Cave and the Immortal Cave. It turned out that the root was here. It was estimated that he insisted on sending him over to find someone to provide convenience.

Lang Shanliu also knelt down, addressing him, "Ancestor, long life!"

The middle-aged Daoist smiled and pulled the two people up.

"Why did you come over?"

Hu Jinliu nodded and bowed, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I missed you, Ancestor. I didn't expect to happen to run into you guarding the gate. This is truly a great blessing!"

The Daoist pointed at Hu Jinliu and said with a smile, "You are a rascal."

At this time, Lang Shanliu said repeatedly, "Ancestor, the descendants met a wandering Daoist from the East in the mountains, who said he wanted to register in the temples of our Miao border. The descendants made their own decisions and brought him here to ask for the Ancestor's instructions."

"Ancestor, this Brother saved the life of a child in our Miao village. Look, he even had someone send Bai Long'er."

Cheng Yunqi stepped forward at this time. He placed his left hand horizontally across his chest, placed his right hand's three fingers in a mountain shape on his left palm, and still said in his mouth,

"Daoist, boundless view. I am Cheng Qieqing, cultivating in the Biyun Temple on Qingshen Mountain."

The middle-aged Daoist's eyes changed. He looked at Cheng Yunqi, and there was a feeling of pleasant surprise in his eyes, which made Cheng Yunqi somewhat surprised.

Afterwards, this Daoist also placed his left hand horizontally across his chest, his right palm facing upward, his index, ring, and little fingers curled, fingertips touching the palm, his thumb and middle finger pointing diagonally upward to the upper left and upper right respectively, forming a horn-like shape, and then gently placed the back of his right hand on his left hand,

"Miao border Green Dragon Cave, this poor Daoist's secular surname is Liu, Daoist name Tianfang, fellow Daoist, boundless view. As disciples of the Three Pure Ones, there is no place under heaven that is not a place to stay."

Lang Shanliu and Hu Jinliu didn't understand, only thinking that this was the etiquette of Daoist people, but they were even more confirmed that this foreign Daoist's identity was undoubted and not disguised by demons, so they felt relieved.

Hu Jinliu whispered in Cheng Yunqi's ear, "Our Rongjiang Village is very powerful. Not only do we have people in the Green Dragon Cave, but we also have people in the Immortal Cave!"

Lang Shanliu grabbed Hu Jinliu's ear and pulled him away, bowing to Daoist Tianfang,

"Disturbing you, Ancestor, the descendants will withdraw."

And waved his hand at Cheng Yunqi, "Brother, you can come to Rongjiang Village to play when you are free! It's not far from here!"

Cheng Yunqi nodded and thanked him with a smile.

After the uncle and nephew left, Daoist Tianfang said to Cheng Yunqi with a smile,

"Qingshen Mountain in Kuaiji, this name has already become famous in the current cultivation world. If you want to use another name while traveling, you'd better think of one again." Cheng Yunqi scratched his head. No one told him this.

"Did Wen Sukong tell you to come to the Green Dragon Cave? Wen Sukong is of the same sect as you, so you should know her, right? Didn't she tell you?"

Cheng Yunqi widened his eyes, "Daoist, do you know......"

"Hmm?"

"Didn't she let you come?"

The Daoist was very surprised.

Cheng Yunqi shook his head. His coming here was also completely accidental.

The Daoist was stunned for a moment, then said, "That's a coincidence. Wen Sukong has always been careless. What about Chen Suxing? Didn't he tell you either?"

"Ah?"

Cheng Yunqi was somewhat at a loss. What is this?

"Forget it, then I have a fate with your sect. Follow me into the mountain first." Daoist Tianfang said to Cheng Yunqi with a smile.

Then he said to a young Daoist in the hut on the right, "Little child, I'm going back into the mountain. Please tell the Tianxuan Hall to rearrange the guard duty."

The young Daoist hurriedly bowed and said yes.

Daoist Tianfang nodded and led Cheng Yunqi up the mountain.

"Then whose disciple are you exactly? What is your relationship with Sukong and Suxing?"

"Returning to Daoist, I haven't registered yet, and now I am just a registered disciple under Master Sukong."

"Oh!"

Daoist Tianfang's steps paused, "So it's a disciple of an old acquaintance. She has accepted a disciple, hehe, not bad, not bad."

"What about Suxing? He is of the same generation as Sukong, so he should be your Uncle-Master. Has he accepted any disciples?"

Cheng Yunqi's heart turned a hundred times, and he replied in his mouth: "I haven't been initiated for long, and I am a registered disciple, so I haven't seen Uncle-Master Suxing yet. Even Master Sukong, I have seen very little."

Daoist Tianfang laughed upon hearing this, "She is the laziest. She won't do any work she can avoid. You are a registered disciple under her name. If you really become an indoor disciple in the future, you will have a hard time."

Cheng Yunqi also followed with a smile, but didn't dare to echo, but took the initiative to ask: "I don't know how you and Master met?"

Daoist Tianfang was slightly silent after hearing this, then said: "That was many years ago."

"At that time, I had just entered the second realm, and the star apertures were not yet divided. Oh, in your inner alchemy Way, it should be called refining Qi and transforming Sha. That year, the Miao border and the Southern Wilderness fought again, and there was also the Northern Demon Sect supporting from the rear. The situation was critical. I followed the master's order to go down the mountain to suppress demons, and Sukong and Suxing were also traveling in the Southern Wilderness, using the name of Qingshen Mountain. They were at the gateway of the first realm at that time, not yet reaching the second realm."

"At that time, they got lost in the miasma forest and fell into an encirclement. I went in and brought them out, and that's how we got to know each other. We were about the same age, so we traveled together and became friends."

The Daoist climbed the steps slowly, looking up slightly when he said this, his fingers moving behind his back, saying:

"It should have been sixty years!"

"At that time, we even said we would meet again. I was going to Yu Zhang, and they would come to the Miao border again. However, the cultivation of the second realm was too tight, and we all forgot about it! We parted sixty years ago, and since then we have never seen each other again. Now, I see their disciple coming to travel again, hehe." ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
