"If the Daoist friend is interested in going to Mount Yuanqiu, I have heard of a saying."

"What saying?"

"It is said that Emperor Tianweng is a nostalgic person." Master Jiang said, "Most of the True Lord divine beings who have entered Mount Yuanqiu in the past have old ties with him, either having served under his command, or having had some connection with him, or having met and talked a few times. It is said that most of the mortals who broke in by mistake also 'have old ties' with him, either looking a bit like one of his old friends from back then, or being the reincarnation of his old friends, or being the descendants of his old friends' clans, or even a coincidence, where their words and deeds match a certain scene in his heart back then."

Lin Jue frowned after listening, and looked at each other with the junior sister.

This kind of saying sounds a bit absurd, and the more you listen to it, the more absurd it becomes, but if it happens to an immortal, especially an Emperor and Great Power who has lived for I don't know how many years, it is very possible.

Not to mention an Emperor and Great Power who has lived for I don't know how many years, even Lin Jue himself, why did he notice Xu Yi, wasn't it because Xu Yi's few songs reminded him of himself when he first climbed Mount Yishan?

Immortals are unrestrained.

Since they are unrestrained, they should naturally do as they please, not be bound by the worldly rules and regulations, and don't have to conform to anyone's ideas or follow any common sense.

When he was Tianweng, he naturally had many burdens. Since he resigned as Tianweng, he might be unrestrained.

"Is that Tianweng called Emperor Ming?" Lin Jue asked.

"Before he became Tianweng, he was called Emperor Ming." Master Jiang said, "Later he used the alias Ji Xianren Yuanqiu."

"The Daoist friend means that the current Emperor Ming Tianweng, that is, Ji Xianren Yuanqiu, is likely in Mount Yuanqiu?" The junior sister asked again.

"There is such a possibility, but it is not a certainty." Master Jiang said, "It is also possible that the Daoist field has spirituality, the big mountain has wisdom, and because it is his Daoist field, the wisdom of the big mountain is also related to him. Or there are his subordinates or protectors from back then left in the mountain. Whether it is the spirit of the big mountain or the protector divine being, when they meet old friends, when their hearts move, the cave heaven also leaves a chance for outsiders, heh, to take another look at the past through time and years, as if meeting old friends again."

"These immortals are really..."

The junior sister said, but couldn't say it for a while, and couldn't think of which word could most accurately describe the emotion in her heart at this time.

Lin Jue closed his mouth and thought, then asked: "But we are not the old friends of that old man, and we have also been to Flying Dashan. That mountain has no movement. I think no matter whether it is our appearance or inheritance, or words, deeds, temperament, and bloodline, they have nothing to do with his old friends. I am afraid this road will not work."

Master Jiang looked at him but said nothing.

Lin Jue was silent.

In fact, he knew what she meant.

The two people here are naturally unrelated to that Tianweng, but the fox beside Lin Jue already has six tails. If it opens its tail, it might have some of the style of the former Jun Niangniang Yao Hua, right?

It's just that although Jun Niangniang Yao Hua had old ties with that Tianweng, this "old tie" can't be counted as a good "old tie".

Therefore, Lin Jue pretended not to know.

Master Jiang then talked about the order of that Tianweng to clear out Jun Niangniang Yao Hua back then.

It happened that during the last chat, Lin Jue asked her this question in order to understand whether Emperor Zi Xu and Jun Niangniang Yao Hua had old grudges, but she didn't answer at that time, only saying that she would check for him when she returned to heaven.

"There are only so many Emperor Great Powers in the world. Excluding those who have begun to perish, and excluding those who live in seclusion and live in peace, there are not many left. Emperor Zi Xu and Jun Niangniang Yao Hua naturally know each other, and Emperor Ming Tianweng and Jun Niangniang Yao Hua naturally know each other. Even if there is no friendship, at least they know each other."

"Hundreds of years ago, the previous Tianweng was the Great Emperor in the north, and the current Emperor Zi Xu was a demon-subduing Emperor with a high reputation in the north. At that time, Emperor Ming Tianweng ordered all parties to clear out Jun Niangniang Yao Hua. The previous Tianweng, who was the Great Emperor in the north at the time, and my Emperor all participated. However, the previous Tianweng was indifferent by nature, and the one who fought for him was actually the current Emperor Zi Xu."

"But in my opinion, upright divine beings rarely have personal grudges. Most of them are public affairs. Therefore, what is important is temperament, propositions, and tendencies."

"Emperor Ming Tianweng has resigned and is old, so his temperament will be very indifferent."

"Emperor Zi Xu is just the opposite."

"Unless Jun Niangniang Yao Hua does not reappear, as long as she reappears, Emperor Zi Xu will definitely not tolerate it, and this actually has nothing to do with old grudges."

Master Jiang said two things at the same time.

One is that before Emperor Zi Xu entered the Nine Heavens, he was a demon-subduing Emperor and participated in the clearing of Jun Niangniang Yao Hua. In her opinion, as long as Jun Niangniang Yao Hua reappears, the two will definitely fight.

The other is to tell Lin Jue that even if the clearing of Jun Niangniang Yao Hua was ordered by the previous previous Tianweng, the Tianweng has resigned and is beginning to perish. In her opinion, the events of that year were more of public affairs, a struggle of positions and interests between the two sides, and the two had no other grudges. Even if Jun Niangniang Yao Hua arrived in person, that Tianweng might not be as murderous towards her as he was back then. If it is just a descendant of Jun Niangniang Yao Hua, a simple fox that has not yet become a True Person and attained the Dao, that Tianweng would be even less likely to make things difficult for it.

Lin Jue knew that what she said might be right.

Divine beings are different from humans after all, not to mention the big figures among divine beings. They will not act as simply as ordinary people, let alone act on impulse.

Just like True Lord Fuchi, True Lord Fuchi is a True Lord under Emperor Zi Xu who participated in the clearing of Jun Niangniang Yao Hua. He has seen Fuyao several times. Doesn't he recognize that this is a descendant of Jun Niangniang Yao Hua?

But since Jun Niangniang Yao Hua has been defeated, he will not make things difficult for Fuyao, nor does he disdain to make things difficult for Fuyao.

It's just that Lin Jue still doesn't want to take risks.

So he smiled and drank tea and said:

"Looking at it this way, the previous Tianweng is really indifferent and inactive. Obviously, the north was his Daoist field before, but he actually allowed Emperor Zi Xu to sit big in his Daoist field."

Master Jiang naturally knew that he was changing the subject.

So she didn't say much, just replied: "The previous Tianweng was indifferent and inactive, but he also knew the suffering of the people. There are many Yaoguai in the north. He was too lazy to spend his heart and energy, so he had to let a divine being with heart and power eliminate them, right?"

"I didn't expect to be snatched by Emperor Zi Xu."

"Emperor Zi Xu is diligent in eliminating Yaoguai and works conscientiously. Even if he cannot enter the Nine Heavens, he should be rewarded."

"..."

The pastries were eaten clean, and the tea was drunk full.

The fox caught birds in the mountains, chasing people all over the ground, catching and releasing them. It had no worries, but the birds were miserable.

"I didn't realize I stole another day of leisure here at the Daoist friend's place. I should return to heaven." Master Jiang stood up and bowed to them, "Next time I have free time, I will come to visit again."

"I will burn incense for you when I return from Mount Yuanqiu." Lin Jue said.

"Those who don't know would think I'm dead." Master Jiang put the whisk on her left wrist.

"The flowers bloom in spring here at the senior brother's place. Although it is beautiful, the most beautiful thing about Fengshan is late autumn. Next time the Daoist friend must come to see it." The junior sister said, "My Fengshan Hongye Guan is a great place to enjoy autumn."

"Is the fruit tea satisfactory!"

"Sour and sweet, with endless aftertaste, rich fruit fragrance, and overflowing spiritual energy." The junior sister said, "The Daoist friend has spent a lot of thought."

"Then it lives up to the thought I spent."

After Master Jiang finished speaking, she didn't stay at all. Auspicious clouds gathered under her feet, carrying her through the flower branches and straight up to the Nine Heavens.

Only the two of them sat on the treetops of the Xinyi flowers.

Although they didn't turn into the size of soybeans like last time, they were only as high as finger joints. They set up tables, chairs, and benches on the branches, level with the fresh flowers that covered their eyes, if seen by ordinary people, they would probably feel that this scene is extremely mysterious and immortal.

"When will the senior brother set off?" The junior sister asked.

"Xu Yi and Pumei's abilities are getting stronger and stronger. Recently, I gave Pumei dragon scale flying blades, taught Xu Yi the method of Gang Qi, and found things for them to do. I can set off at any time."

"I will go with the senior brother."

"The junior sister doesn't have to go. I will find it for the junior sister." Lin Jue said, "The junior sister should go and collect other materials."

"Only phoenix feathers and a thousand taels of gold are left."

The junior sister said, but frowned and narrowed her eyes, obviously very troubled.

"How did the senior brother collect a thousand taels of gold at the beginning?"

"There are many big Yaoguai in troubled times, so it's easy to collect."

"I even thought about it these two days, when Lord Luo gets sick, I will ask the fifth senior brother to see a doctor for him. He is the emperor now. Once the illness is cured, he will give me seven hundred and thirty-two taels and five coins of gold."

Master Jiang just left, and this junior sister's words were not serious.

"You calculated it accurately."

Just then, a white shadow flashed beside him.

A fox stared at her with its head up: "The fox has gold! The fox dug a hole and found a lot of gold! The fox went down the mountain to buy candied haws for those two people and used gold! You call Third Shixiong Xiao Shimei Fuyao, and the fox will give it to you!"

"Don't call!"

"Then I won't give it to you!"

The fox jumped away immediately.

It turned into the size of a bird, just chasing birds.

"Anyway, other materials are not so urgent. I will go to Mount Yuanqiu with the senior brother."

"That's fine."

Lin Jue didn't argue with her much.

The fox playing crazy beside him never thought about whether it would go or not. In its heart, wherever Lin Jue goes, it goes. It has always been like this, and this seems to be justified.

However, he heard Lin Jue say to it:

"I don't know how long this trip will take. I have to ask Fuyao to help me guard the house."

"Ying?"

The fox immediately gave up the sparrow in front, turned into a white shadow and flew back, swish, appeared on the branch, stood upright, and stared at him.

"There is a reason." Lin Jue said leisurely, "Look, Ziyun, Xu Yi, and Pumei's Dao practice is still shallow, and someone needs to watch them. The immortal fruit on the cliff is about to bear fruit again, and someone needs to guard it. Ziyun repairs the road, Xu Yi repairs the corridor, Pumei repairs the storage pavilion on the mountain, and someone needs to be a supervisor. I thought about it, there is no one who can shoulder such a heavy responsibility and is trustworthy, so I have to let you guard our Daoist field here like Xiaohua guards the Fengshan Hongye Guan."

The fox listened blankly.
