Liaozhai Great Sage

"The poor monk led his disciples all the way from Xiangguo Temple, and did not stop for a moment. He didn't want to meet two fellow-men on the way to Tianmu Mountain. The poor monk's dharma name is Shikong. Baiyun, I have met the two priests." The old monk named Shi Kong let out a hearty laugh.

Facing Li Xiuyuan and Teng Yunzi, he clasped his hands together and saluted.

The little novice named Baiyun next to him hurriedly followed his master's example and put his palms together and gave a salute.

"Poverty Teng Yunzi, this is my younger brother. It is a fate to meet an eminent monk on the road." Teng Yunzi returned a salute.

Shi Kong smiled and said: "It is indeed fate. I think there must be a reason for the Lord Buddha to guide the poor monk to come here."

"Eminent monk of Xiangguo Temple? I wonder if it is the Xiangguo Temple in the capital?" Li Xiuyuan asked curiously.

He knew that in the capital, there was a very famous temple named Xiangguo Temple.

Shi Kong clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, the poor monk is a monk from Xiangguo Temple. The Taoist priest doesn't seem to be a practitioner. He has a secular smell on his body, as well as a smell of a fox spirit. Did the Taoist priest meet a fox on the way here?" Fine?"

"It is true that I met a few fox spirits." Li Xiuyuan said.

The old monk didn't cast any spells, he just observed with his naked eyes and smelled with his nose.

"Amitabha, the Taoist priest is lucky to meet the fox spirit and still be safe and sound. This fox spirit has become a phenomenon. He has practiced Taoism for at least 600 years. I wonder if fellow Taoists have surrendered him?" Shi Kong asked.

"I've already dealt with the matter of the fox spirit, and Master Lao is worried." Li Xiuyuan bowed back.

Shi Kong smiled and nodded, and stopped asking about the fox spirit.

They met each other on the road for a few days, and they all went to Tianmu Mountain, so they went together.

Li Xiuyuan didn't pay much attention to Master Shikong, but felt that the little novice named Baiyun looked familiar, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Is the Taoist priest doing something?" the little novice Baiyun asked.

"It's nothing, I just think you look familiar, I don't know where I saw it." Li Xiuyuan said: "Little master came to Tianmu Mountain for some reason, can you tell me?"

Baiyun replied: "Master said that I have the roots of wisdom, and I will definitely become an eminent monk in the future. I want to come to Tianmu Mountain to ask for some treasures, so that they can be used to slay demons and demons in the future."

Seek treasure?

Li Xiuyuan's expression moved slightly: "Can Baoneng get it?"

"Naturally, Baiyun will take the treasures given by the immortals to destroy demons in the future. Immortals will also have merit." Master Shikong said with a smile.

It turned out to be the case.

Li Xiuyuan understood that this seemed to be a treasure hunt, but it was actually just a transaction.

Exchange the merits of subduing demons and eliminating demons for treasures.

Although immortals don't need merit, it's better to have merit than nothing. Immortals can do it more stably and for a long time with merit added to their bodies. As for magic weapons, they are useless to immortals.

Come down to the waterfall.

Pushing open the stone door in front of him, the scene in front of him immediately changed drastically.

A calm, like a mirror lake appeared in front of the eyes, the lake surface reflected the color of the sky, blue, bright, and a... a towering mountain with a height of [-] zhang.

"Is that Tianmu Mountain?" Li Xiuyuan looked up.

Covered by layers of clouds and mists, the scene on the mountain could not be seen.

But this Tianzhu Mountain is like the Tianzhu in the myth, majestic and magnificent, with no end in sight, as if it is higher than the sky.

It is impossible to have such a scene in the mortal world. Only the cave, the fairy house, can have such expectations.

"A place more magnificent than the Heavenly Palace." Li Xiuyuan said with emotion.

Tiangong is a palace building, just like a palace, revealing majesty, but Tianmu Mountain is naturally majestic and majestic.

suddenly.

Li Xiuyuan heard the cry of the crane, but when he looked up, it seemed to be a phoenix flying across the sky with its long tail feathers. This is not a human bird, but an auspicious fairy beast.

Then he saw a hundred birds chirping, and he pulled a chariot made of clouds and flew to the cloud-shrouded Tianmu Mountain.

I also saw graceful and beautiful fairies, playing in the mountains, picking fairy fruits and flowers.

All kinds of scenes are extraordinary.

"Junior brother should go, let's go see the ancestor first." Teng Yunzi said.

"It should be so." Li Xiuyuan nodded.

The two flew into the sky, flew over the lake in front of them, and headed towards Tianmu Mountain.

Master Shikong also threw out his cassock, and flew forward with his apprentice Baiyun.

"What kind of lake is this? It's like a mirror. You can't see the bottom of the lake, but it can reflect people." Li Xiuyuan looked down at the lake and said.

Master Shi Kong said: "This is the mirror lake, which can reflect the sins of mortals. If mortals with deep sins stray into this place, they will fall into the lake and sink into it."

Chapter 539 Gu Xian

Mirror lake?

Li Xiu flew far in the air, looking down.

The surface of the lake is calm and the shape is indeed a mirror. When he looked down, he couldn't see his own shadow, but he could see the shadows of his senior brothers Teng Yunzi, Shikong, Baiyun and others.

"Master, look, the Taoist priest's shadow is not on the lake." Bai Yun asked curiously after discovering this.

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Master Shikong took a look and it was true.

His expression immediately became serious, and he couldn't help but look at Li Xiuyuan again, and couldn't help clasping his hands together, lowering his head and singing the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, the mirror lake can only reflect people's shadows, this Taoist priest is not very human, Naturally there is no shadow."

"So that's the case, then this Taoist priest must be a very high-level immortal." Bai Yun said.

"People who become monks should be quiet and inactive, and should not pry into other people's privacy." Master Shikong said.

Bai Yun looked like he was being educated humbly, so he didn't ask any more questions immediately.

Li Xiuyuan flew all the way, and saw many practitioners living in huts by the lake beside Jinghu Lake. They either sat by the lake to fish, or played chess and tasted tea, or wrote and painted...Life is leisurely, unrestrained, let People feel comfortable and fascinated.

"Brother, how many cultivators and immortals are there in Tianzhu Mountain?"

After watching for a while, he asked curiously.

Teng Yunzi smiled and said: "This is too many to count. There should be 10,000+ people practicing in Tianmu Mountain, and there should be thousands of immortals. Some immortals are famous and their names will be sung in the world, and some immortals become famous silently. Don't show it, don't say it for outsiders, why do you ask this?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that the immortal who is rare in the world seems to be worthless here." Li Xiuyuan said.
