Chapter 351: Limited Ease
On Mount Yishan, under the peach blossom tree.
It was still a piece of coarse cloth, even the same one as before, spread on the ground, full of food and drink.
There were freshly made jujube cakes, still hot, sweet and fragrant, osmanthus rice cakes, emerald-green pigeon tofu, braised chicken and duck, fried small fish, and sweet pine needle honey bubble water.
The two small Daoist children sat a bit outside, their cheeks full of cake crumbs and oil, but they looked up at the butterflies flying in the sky.
Those were not ordinary butterflies—
Pink peach blossom petals became wings, peach blossom stamens became antennae, and the flower stems connecting the flowers became the bodies of the butterflies. If you didn't look carefully, they were really butterflies; if you looked carefully, they felt even more supernatural.
The two small Daoist children didn't care about anything else, just feeling that under the spring light at this moment, they were living an immortal life. At this moment, several Shishu were immortals.
"I also want to sit on the bird's back and fly!"

And at this time, the two small Daoist children in Fuqiu Temple found them, looking up at them from far away.
"Shixiong! I want to learn to become smaller!"
Beside them, a little ghost appeared silently.
Mountain flowers faded wave after wave.
The two small Daoist children immediately became interested.
Once the rain stops, the mountains are clean, the clouds and mist are like clothes, which is the most beautiful scenery of Mount Yishan.
The two small Daoist children were happy and excited, and their impression of Eighth Shishu and Ninth Shishu was even better to the extreme.
"It's not impossible," Lin Jue said thoughtfully. "But you still have to learn another method of gathering beasts and adjusting birds..."
The palaces in the sky are nothing more than this.
This is also a good way.
Slowly from spring to summer.
The Junior Xiao Shimei also revealed a look of thought.
"Your magical arts, after you practice the Dao, your master will naturally teach you. But seeing that you have served your Eighth Shishu and Ninth Shishu well, we also have some treasures that can be given to you as a meeting gift."
It was only when those two figures stood up that they knew they were Shishu.
Jiyin was surprised, and took it respectfully with both hands.
"I'm too full~"
"Wait for the Shixiongs to comprehend the Great Yin-Yang Method, and Xiao Shimei will teach them the divine movement technique well. After learning it, it will be much more convenient for us to visit and gather," Lin Jue said.
"Thank you, Eighth Shishu, Ninth Shishu."
Just as they were talking, a sound came from below: "Pop pop pop..."
"Bird-changing technique?"
In looking through them one by one!
"It's not bad not to have it."
The Junior Xiao Shimei echoed.
Lin Jue held it in his hand, lifted the lid of the pot
First, hand the silver pot to Ji Yin.
The two little Daoist acolytes cannot understand.
"Hiss!"
"This string of beads was also gifted to us by a Great Foot Master. It broke once, and I restrung it. Wearing it on your wrist usually wards off yin evil and prevents nightmares. If you encounter yaoguai or ghosts, you can take one out and throw it to defend yourself, or throw them all at once, but you must hit the target for it to be effective. As for its power, I haven't seen it yet."
Cultivating here is much faster than in the capital.
"How could it be that easy?"
"What treasure?"
"Mount Yishan is truly suitable for cultivation!"
"Good!"
"That's right."
Learning one technique is always more relaxed than learning two. Moreover, his abilities are different from his senior brother's; aside from traveling, if his senior brother becomes small, it might be helpful in magical combat, but if he himself becomes small, it would be difficult to use a sword or palm to harm others.
Lin Jue and his junior sister looked at each other, both finding it interesting.
The things immortals discuss are naturally immortal talk.
A crow flapped its wings and, as if showing off to a good friend, clumsily flew up.
Lin Jue smiled and continued to ponder, saying, "Although Xiao Xiao Shimei is very talented, your talent mostly lies in the Five Elements. These kinds of profound yin-yang spells are not easy to learn. If you want to learn the shrinking technique, you must also learn a method for gathering beasts and controlling birds. If you simply want to experience the feeling of being in the sky, it would be better to ask Fuyao to teach you the bird-transformation technique after a while. That way, you only need to learn one technique, and I imagine it would be more fun."
His junior sister looked solemn and said earnestly.
His junior sister nodded.
Except for their master being away and his third senior brother not knowing where he had wandered off to, it was truly similar to the days spent on the mountain before. Ninth Uncle kept eating and drinking, with a huge appetite; whenever there was a slight gap, he would feed the cat and the fox, or pass some food and drink to them, and pour water for the other uncles. Eighth Uncle was also very leisurely, quietly admiring the beautiful spring scenery at this moment, a look in his eyes that they couldn't understand, while occasionally interjecting a few words with the other uncles to answer a question or two for them.
The apricot blossoms faded first, then the peach blossoms, followed by the azaleas and magnolias; all had once dyed a patch of the mountain red, and all had returned to green.
His junior sister took the beads from Lin Jue's hand and handed them to Ji Yang.
A wisp of faint white smoke suddenly emerged from the spout, revealing shifting five-colored light under the sunlight, making one feel dizzy just looking at it.
On the peak of a strange mountain, ancient pines provided shade, and Lin Jue sat cross-legged, sighing with emotion.
It was just that its flight posture was truly too strange, and halfway through, it seemed unable to maintain it, and with a 'poof', it turned back into its fox form in mid-air.
"This smoke can cause dizziness and hallucinations; do not use it lightly against yaoguai, ghosts, or people in the mountains. Only use it for self-defense when you go down the mountain to eliminate demons after you have learned the spells."
The little ghost looked to be four or five years old, born cute, dressed in brown clothes and a brown hat with a little round ball on top, also brown. Yet, it had a solemn face, stretching out a finger to point in the direction of the capital:
Mount Yishan is full of spiritual rhyme and infinitely profound; whether cultivating yin-yang spiritual methods or Five Elements spiritual methods, it is a good place for quiet cultivation.
After finishing, his junior sister couldn't help but feel puzzled. She moved her gaze away from the endlessly shifting rolling sea of clouds and the ancient pines on the stone peaks before her, looking at her senior brother: "Senior Brother, why can't we just cultivate quietly in the mountains and live like this forever? Why must we go down the mountain?"
That stone peak was truly like a pillar, both tall and small. The side facing them was a completely vertical, smooth stone wall; even the ancient pines of Mount Yishan could only grow horizontally in the crevices, and not even grass could grow on it. He didn't know how the two uncles had gone up, or how they would come down.
"Yes."
Ji Yang was equally solemn, eyes wide, and took them with both hands.
Just at this moment, a voice came from below: "Don't let her learn it!"
Fortunately, the fox itself had skills and didn't fall directly. Instead, it stretched its body in the air, borrowed force in mid-air, took a few steps, stepped on an ancient pine branch, knocked down a few pine needles, stepped on a nearby stone, and returned to its original position.
Children are truly fun.
Beside him, his junior sister immediately agreed.
"This little silver pot was gifted to us by a Great Foot Master. Usually, it can be used to drink and boil tea, which is fine, but you must never blow into the mouth of the pot casually, otherwise—"
Their master and several uncles were all flipping through a book, sometimes tasting delicacies, sometimes drinking honey water, occasionally frowning, occasionally discussing, all saying things they couldn't understand.
Unconsciously, another season had passed.
"Although cultivating the Dao seeks freedom and spontaneity, self-discipline is also the most important lesson. These two are actually not contradictory; use them well," Lin Jue said.
On a night in early autumn, Lin Jue was originally sitting in the courtyard meditating and cultivating, bathing in the moonlight and enjoying the coolness of the autumn night, when he suddenly opened his eyes.
【351-73】
Even compared to Mount Fengshan, it is faster.
He only saw blue sky and white clouds, the sunlight dazzling. Ordinary people cannot open their eyes wide to look directly at the sky, so they have to squint, only able to see strange peaks like a forest ahead. On one of the straight, towering peak pillars grew an ancient pine that looked like it was holding up an umbrella, and under the pine, it seemed as if a human figure was sitting, but it was impossible to distinguish whether it was a person or one of the strange rocks common on Mount Yishan that looked like immortals.
At first, he thought it was a mountain spirit interjecting, but upon listening closely, he realized it was his own fox. Lin Jue thought it was talking to him and lowered his head slightly to look. He saw that just below this stone peak, a fox and a cat had caught something in the mountains and were huddled together eating.
Summer on the mountain is not hot, just rainy. When it rains, it is difficult to go out, and when the mountain mist rises, you can't see anything. However, the Daoist temple at this time is quiet, with no one coming up the mountain. You can sit in the room or the hall quietly listening to the sound of rain, or you can go up the mountain in the rain, find an ancient pine whose branches are enough to shelter from the rain, and sit cross-legged under the tree to cultivate.
Without comparison, one does not know the gap.
Eighth Uncle was unhurried, also stepping forward, actually walking down the vertical, smooth cliff of the stone peak, even turning his body sideways. Yet, he was as relaxed as if walking on flat ground; in a daze, it also looked like the immortal magic rumored in the world.
He had offered sacrifices to his master twice, returned once, observed Qingming once, and climbed Tiandou twice, but never had the fate to see an immortal again. Accompanied by his junior sister, he had strolled around the strange scenery of the mountain several times, watched many sunrises and sunsets, went down the mountain to stroll and shop whenever there was a market, and cooked according to his own preferences upon returning. The rest of the time was spent meditating and cultivating, leisurely and carefree, truly like an immortal.
"At the beginning of cultivation, Master taught us to gather more mountains and rivers and collect more spiritual rhyme," Lin Jue said. "Moreover, if we don't go down the mountain, where would the Five Elements spiritual methods come from? And where would we find the Great Yin-Yang Law?"
"That's right—" the fox's voice came from below again, "You call me Teacher Fuyao, and I will teach you when the time comes. Once you learn it, you can turn into a night owl; anyway, you look quite similar."
Returning to the Daoist temple, the two little Daoist acolytes were on either side, one pounding the legs and kneading the shoulders for Eighth Uncle, the other fanning Ninth Uncle.
"But I think it's easy."
Just as he was dazed, he saw Ninth Uncle take a step, actually floating down, his posture truly like an immortal.
"Shrinking?"
Only Eighth Uncle and Ninth Uncle were the most leisurely.
The fox said this to the colored cat.
Lin Jue then took a small silver pot and a string of beads from his cloth bag: "This is what Ninth Uncle and I agreed upon, giving you each one."
"Whoosh..."
The two little Daoist acolytes were already stunned.
While chewing, the fox spoke to the colored cat: "Once she learns it, she will ride you!"
His junior sister looked solemn, as if she hadn't heard.
His senior brother was extremely talented in yin-yang spells, and he seemed to have divine help in learning any spell, so he learned spells quickly and learned many. Except for his senior brother, let alone himself, even the other senior brothers who were still cultivating yin-yang spiritual methods probably couldn't be like his senior brother, learning whatever spell he saw, not afraid of wasting time at all.
"Walk this way!"
Lin Jue was silent for a moment, then suddenly understood.
Sighing, he stood up.
Begging for double monthly tickets at the end of the month!
