Big Bodhi
Chapter 76: Life is Filled with Flowers

"No need to be polite,” Lu Mingxi waved his hand and turned towards Xu Xiao, “Junior Brother Xu, please enter the names of these people as well.”

Xu Xiao had already recorded Ji Yuenian, Jiao Xiu Yu and others’ names, now hearing this he directly nodded his head and recorded the remaining names into the jade talisman.

Those disciples who had not been selected by Lu Mingxi looked a little low, and looked at Zhang Tianxin, Ming Zhu, and Li Yan with great envy.

Ji Yuenian moved the sapphire talisman a little, and Qingluan, let out a neigh, and slowly spread its wings, and the violent hurricane surged in, stirring everyone's robes.

“Let's go.”

“Yes, Senior Brother Ji.” The disciples responded in unison.

Jiao Xiuyu climbed Qingluan's back with Ji Yuenian, Lu Changye's eyes moved slightly, and he also directly urged his lotus leaf magic treasure, landed on the side of Ji Yuenian.

Xu Xiao looked up at Qingluan, who was several feet tall, with a wry smile on his face. In the midst of embarrassment, several yin qi swept out from the heavens and the earth, and brought him directly to Qingluan's back.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Ji.” Xu Xiao naturally knew that Ji Yuenian shot, so standing firm, he hurriedly thanked him.

“No problem,” Ji Yuenian turned his head and glanced at Lu Mingxi's Luan Bird, “Junior Brother Lu, Junior Brother Zhan and these disciples will be led by you.”

Lu Mingxi said with a smile, “This is how it should be.”

With that, he put his arms around the girl in red beside him and jumped up, and as the Xuan Qi flowed, he landed directly on the back of his Luan Bird.

Zhan Ming took out a magic lotus leaf, took the other three disciples up into the sky, and slowly landed beside Lu Mingxi's side.

The magic lotus’ leaves were divided into two types. One was that it could only be activated by several people, which was very cumbersome; Another kind was more convenient, although much smaller, but the forbidden array in it was more exquisite, only someone in the upper Xuan realm could rely on the forbidden array in it to fly.

The price of the latter magic lotus leaf was much more expensive, and the one that Zhan Ming had was of the latter kind.

As the Qingluan fluttered its wings to support the wind, the other Luan Bird also flew straight into the sky. Two huge spiritual birds emerged from the top of Xing Yuan Peak, pierced through the clouds and fog, and gradually disappeared in the vast sky of the Luoxia Mountains.

The twilight mist gave birth to deep trees, while cicadas chirped about the spring stream.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Roar!

A faint roar with a hint of demonic power shook the mountains and forests, and all those who heard it had their hearts tremble.

Its neck was covered with thick golden mane, and the brown pupils were filled with indifferent beastly nature. It was a lion beast that was just one step away from becoming a real demon.

Not far in front of it was a fox with silvery-white fur, frightened by its roar it froze in place, and for a moment even forgot to escape.

The lion beast looked at its prey coldly, and approached slowly. Suddenly it let out a violent roar, while its heavy body rose into the air, and rushed towards the fox!

<em class="chakra-text css-0">Bam!

Along with an ear-piercing sound of iron and gold, a powerful recoil knocked the lion backwards, it rolled several times in midair, and fell, leaving bloodstains and bruises on the top of its head.

Coming back to his senses the silver-white fox looked up at the girl’s back standing in front of him.

The girl was beautiful, wearing a water-green skirt. Collecting the magic shield she smiled at the lion beast, while explaining: “Big lion, don't hurt the little fox.”

The lion beast got up, shook its colossal head, glanced at the girl hatefully, then turned around and disappeared into the jungle.

“Little fox, are you alright?” Turning back to the silver-white fox, she asked and explained, “In the future, if you meet a beast that wants to eat you, you should run away without looking back, do you hear that? The foxes in the Luo Zhongshan Mountain should all be from the bloodline of the wind fox. Even if you haven’t turned into a demon, you are extremely fast, so it should be impossible for the beasts to catch up to you.”

The fox seemed to understand, so it let out a low whimper, glanced at the girl, and also disappeared into the forest.

There were many peaks within the Luoxia Mountains, and Luo Zhongshan was one of them. It was worthy of being located at the edge of the Luoxia Mountain. Not only were spirits cultivated here, occasionally they also gave birth to some demon spirits.

Like the lion beast just now, it was just a step away from igniting its Heart Fire. The more wisdom one had, the higher their Heart Fire’s would be ranked.

The Xuan realm, True Dao realm, Divine Sea realm were all basic realm for all living beings. The names of these basic realms have been handed down from ancient times. Although there were some discrepancies in the names, iearly 1000 territories of the Beijulu Zhou (North Club Lu Continent), the realms remained the same.

The Xuan Realm was the realm in which the Heart Fires traced the Xuan, and the True Dao realm was the realm of returning to the truth and gathering the elements.

And the ​​Divine Sea realm, as its name suggested was it was the realm of God's Sea of Embodied Spirit.

“Sister Yun Ying.”

A somewhat helpless voice came from a distance.

The young girl dressed in watery green stuck out her tongue playfully, raised her head and smiled, “Senior Brother Li.”

Li Zhaoyan landed beside Yun Ying's side and shook his head: “Junior Sister, almost all the spirits in Luo Zhongshan Mountain are naturally raised, we as practitioners, and should not interfere with them.”

Yun Ying stepped forward and grabbed Li Zhaoyan's robe sleeve, while her beautiful eyes fixed on him, and called softly, “Senior Brother Li …”

“Forget it.” Failing to bear the girl's coquettish mannerism, Li Zhaoyan waved his hands again and again, “Hurry up, and follow me back to the temple. Today Master is going to open the altar to teach Dharma. Even the myriad little demons from the Luo Zhongshan Mountain have rushed over.”

Letting go of his hand, Yun Ying said with a smile: “Since Master has broken through to the True Dao realm, the fortune of Luo Zhongshan seemed to have improved a lot. So far, there are more than ten little demons who have ignited their Heart Fires.”

Li Zhaoyan pulled her towards the direction of the Taoist temple and said, “This time Master opened the altar to teach Dharma, with the intention to carry forward the Taoism of our Taoist temple. After today, these monsters are very likely to become our brothers and sisters.”

Beaming with joy, she said crisply: “It’s truly wonderful!”

“You.” Li Zhaoyan said.

While talking, they drifted off. A small fox with silvery white fur came out of nowhere and sat halfway on the ground, looking at the direction Yun Ying was leaving, it neighed in a low voice.

Dao Yan Guan (Taoist temple), this Taoist line scattered in the wilderness was founded by the Taoist Xuyan who was in the upper Xuan realm and established his school at the Luo Zhongshan Mountain. He had always been quiet and uncontested, and had almost never left Mount Luo Zhong, but only practiced extending his life span as much as possible.

Before cultivation, Taoist Xuyan was just a young man in the mountains. He accidentally entered a place where he found a hidden cultivation treasure, and after that, he devoted himself to studying it for several years. Finally, he ignited his Heart Fire and truly stepped into the path of cultivation.

About a hundred days ago, an unknown mutation occurred in Luo Zhongshan Mountain, and the Qi of heaven and earth suddenly became abundant. The accumulated reserves of Taoist Xuyan were already extremely profound, and once he broke into the realm of True Dao realm with this, his life expectancy increased by 800 years.

The changes in Luo Zhongshan Mountain also ignited the Heart Fire of some plants, trees, birds, and beasts that had no chance to turn into demons. In just a few months, there were more than a dozen spirits in Luo Zhongshan Mountain who gained enlightenment and turned into demons.

Chen (07:00 - 08:00am).

The purple air rose eastward, and the morning glow filled the sky.

The foot of Luo Zhongshan Mountain was bustling with Dao Yan Guan disciples. They happily ran around on the bluestone Taoist platform, which was nearly 100 feet in circumference.

This was the first time Taoist Xuyan had opened the altar to teach Dharma since he broke into the True Dao realm. It was also time for him to teach his disciples new divine skills.

Taoist Xuyan had never been stingy with his disciples. He had always taught his disciples what he had learned. After breaking into the True Dao, several new truths appeared in the core jade talisman left by the scattered cultivator. Taoist Xuyan had slightly simplified them and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to teach these newly learned divine techniques at this altar.

“At dawn, I go to the mountain forest to collect the morning dew to make a cup of spiritual tea for Master and many brothers. Then, I will welcome the sun to draw the energy of heaven and earth for cultivation; in the afternoon, I pick some spiritual fruits and flowers to make some delicious snacks. In the evening, lying on the bluestone platform together with Brother Li, I look up at the bright stars in the sky of Luo Zhongshan Mountain.”

Yun Ying stopped writing at this point, and involuntarily a blooming smile appeared on her pretty little face.

The Master had already sent a message the day before, that after the opening of the altar to teach Dharma, he would allow herself and Senior Brother Li to become Dao companions and open a separate court outside the Taoist Temple.

“Sister Yun, what are you doing in the room? Why don't you come out and help us?”

A clear youthful voice came from a distance, Yun Ying put the pen on the table, stood up and looked out the wooden window, and said, “Don't worry, Junior Brother Xiao Yan, I'm going down, right now.”

Saying that, she was about to leave, but at the corner of her eye glanced at the pen she had just put down. After a little hesitation, she sat down again, and added a new sentence after the new period of pen and ink.

“Three thousand weak waters, Yun Ying only takes Li Zhaoyan, this life is filled with flowers, and I don't envy mandarin ducks or immortals.”

[Three thousand weak waters only take one scoop, which originated from a story in the Buddhist scriptures, which implies that you may encounter many beautiful things in your life, but as long as you carefully grasp one of them, it is enough]

...

The violent wind roared from all directions, and even with Qingluan's demonic light shield protection, inevitably, some residual wind swept in, causing the disciples' robes and sleeves to flutter.

“Senior Brother Ji, if we travel at this speed, it will take us about two incense sticks to reach the Dao Yan Guan on the Luo Zhongshan Mountain.”

Holding the mission talisman Xu Xiao spoke respectfully.

Dressed in a black robe, Ji Yuenian stood beside Qingluan's azure crown feathers. His long dark hair flipped up, and his fair and beautiful eyebrows were picturesque, but his eyes were deep and tranquil to the extreme, which made people unable to discern his true thoughts.

“The Luoxia Mountains were chosen by the ancient sect of Taiyu as the place where the outer sects were located. As expected, this place is extremely beautiful, with intelligent spirits in it. This journey seems to see a complete small world, where countless natural and nurtured spirits are struggling to survive. There are those who live comfortably, those who die in the morning and the evening, and those who are tranquil and meaningless. These countless creatures in the depths of the Luoxia Mountains are just the tip of the iceberg of the profound heritage of the Taiyu Holy Sect.”

Ji Yuenian did not respond to Xu Xiao, but looked down at the deeper part of the mountain range under the cover of clouds and mists, and there was a little blue light in his eyes.

“Senior Brother Ji is really insightful!” Xu Xiao praised from the side, “What we saw was but only a small sect mission, but what Senior Brother Ji saw is the vast and endless Luoxia Mountains in whole.”

Lu Changye took a long, eccentric look at Xu Xiao, and gained some new understanding of his character.
