Chapter 242 Iron Brake Cloud Light There are rules for paying respects to the ancestors, and Jiang Lin came in a hurry, so he could only try his best to observe some etiquette. Jiuding Tiesha Mountain is a pure "Taoist mountain", that is, there are only Taoist temples on the mountain, but no Buddhist temples. Although there are many temples on Tiesha Mountain, there are not many Taoists living on the mountain nowadays. This Taoist ancestral temple in the northeast is now mostly guarded by "guardian immortals". That is what the local people call "house immortals", and these house immortals call themselves "demon immortals". Of course, among practitioners, there is a more universal name. Elf. That’s right, the majority of people in the Nine Peaks Iron Brake Mountain nowadays are elves who have achieved success in their spiritual practice. 'call……' When Jiang Lin's visiting card flew to the original top of the middle peak of Tiesha Mountain, it was picked up by a black wind and suddenly fell into Tiesha Mountain. The next moment, a black light emerged from the forest and landed directly in front of Jiang Lin and others.
What fell to the ground was a huge black-haired fox that was nearly a meter long. After landing, a demonic aura rose from its body. Although it is a demonic aura, it does not appear dirty, and it can be seen that the foundation is extremely solid, and it even carries the meaning of pure blessings and merits. This is an elf who follows the path of correction, and also a "family fairy". In the northeastern region, the four Hu, Huang, Chang and Mang, who all follow the right path, are often family gods. Not only do they follow the right path themselves, they also accept people with good character as their "disciples", which are the so-called disciples who go out to work as spirit horses. The disciples will come forward and carry out activities in the human world, while the family gods will be enshrined in the "Immortal Hall" by them. If the local people encounter ghosts causing trouble, evil spirits harming people and other evil things, the first thing they will do is to seek help from the disciples who are sent out to perform rituals. The disciples who go out to perform rituals will, with the help of the family spirits, go to "see things". Once the matter is settled, the victims will have peace, the disciples will get rewards, and their skills will also improve. The family gods have the merit of exorcising evil spirits and are worshipped by people. It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone. This is the way the family immortals practice. "I am Hu Huoyan from the Hu family, and I'm honored to meet Abbot Jiang." "I came here on the orders of Black Grandma..." The big black fox then condensed its energy and transformed into a human form, which turned out to be an extremely strong middle-aged man. He saluted Jiang Lin politely. Then, halfway through his words, his eyes suddenly caught sight of Miao Qing beside Jiang Lin, and he couldn't help but take a step back. "Why is it you, crazy girl!" After seeing Miaoqing, the fox fairy's face showed a bit of a mask of pain. He couldn't help but recall the experience not long ago when he was suspended in mid-air by the three seals of the Three Emperors' lineage and was burned by the Three Emperors' true fire. This experience came from the hands of this seemingly harmless girl! "Why are you here again! Didn't my grandmother and your Immortal Grandpa agree last time that neither side would pursue the matter?"
Hu Huoyan touched his butt implicitly. He had never beaten a foreign, teenage girl in his own territory, and he was kicked many times because of this incident. Seeing that the family immortal looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, Jiang Lin couldn't help but look at Miao Qing. What on earth was this girl doing here before? "Hey hey hey..." Miaoqing smiled a little embarrassedly and said nothing. Well, seeing this, Jiang Lin knew that what this girl did was probably due to his fault, otherwise she wouldn't look so guilty. Thinking in his heart, Jiang Lin blocked Miao Qing without leaving a trace, bowed and said with a smile: "I am Jiang Xuanying, I am honored to meet you, Daoist Fellow Hu." "I've met the Taoist priest." After his initial surprise, Hu Huoyan came to his senses and realized that among the three people present, the Taoist priest was the leader. So, there was no need to worry about that girl doing anything again. Wait, three? Hu Huoyan then realized that there were three people paying homage to the grave. He casually glanced at the last person, and after just one glance, he couldn't look away. Even his whole body was shaking, and his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip. "This... this person... is..." Hu Huoyan asked tremblingly, wanting to raise his hand to salute, but found that his hands were shaking. There was no other reason. He just felt a suppression coming from the deepest part of his blood from that charming woman in a red dress. That kind of most fundamental suppression even made him want to worship him. Even when facing it, I couldn't help but tremble. If he had not been in Tiesha Mountain, he would probably have kneeled down without being able to resist. "Tushan, Nine-tailed Fox Clan, Tushan language." Tu Shanyu said with a smile. Hearing this, Hu Huoyan trembled even more violently and couldn't help but take a deep breath. The fox clan originated in ancient times, with many sources and countless bloodline branches, but among them, there are two undoubted ancestral homelands. The Qingqiu fox clan is the oldest, but the Tushan fox clan is the most valuable. There is no other reason, it’s just because the ancestor of the Tushan fox clan was Dayu’s wife. Based on this point alone, among the countless fox bloodline branches in the Three Realms, even the ancestral home Qingqiu is not as valuable as the Tushan Nine-tailed Fox Clan! "It turns out that the Queen of Tushan has arrived. How rude!" Hu Huoyan came back to his senses and thought that it was just some Taoist friends from outside who came to pay their respects to the mountain. At most, he would go out of his way to entertain them with delicious food and drinks, so as not to tarnish the reputation of Tiesha Mountain. But now, there is actually a goddess from Tushan! Moreover, that strong blood suppression can only mean one thing, that is, in the Tushan ancestral temple, the person in front of him is also one of the best!
You know, under the protection and blessing of Grandma Black, these fox clan immortals have already gradually separated from the fox clan and cultivated their own paths. Even so, the bloodline suppression is still so unreasonable, which speaks volumes! This is not something I can handle. Thinking of this, Hu Huoyan took a deep breath and became more respectful towards Jiang Lin. "Please wait for a moment, Taoist priest. I will go and report to my great grandmother." "Fellow Daoist, please feel free to do so." Jiang Lin smiled and nodded, but he felt a little helpless. I just came to ask for two pieces of wood, which was not a big deal at all. I didn't expect that because of Tu Shanyu's presence, I would actually alarm the great protector of Tiesha Mountain. At this moment. 'call……' A black wind came down and went straight into Hu Huoyan's forehead. Hu Huoyan was startled immediately, and quickly turned sideways to salute and said, "Please follow me, my grandmother is waiting in Yunguang Cave." Hearing this, Jiang Lin looked at Tu Shanyu and winked at her. Obviously, this extraordinary reception was aimed at Tushan Yu, the Prince of Tushan. Tu Shanyu smiled and shook her head, motioning Jiang Lin to walk in front. Jiang Lin didn't know, but she knew that her future father-in-law had already spread the news that "my disciple is Jiang Lin" to all the great gods in the three realms who were qualified to know. The great protector of Tiesha Mountain is obviously one of them. and…… Hey Hey…… I don't know what she was thinking about, but a silly smile appeared on Tu Shanyu's face. Her big eyes curved into crescents as she stared at the Taoist priest in green in front of her. I am the ideal match chosen by my future father-in-law! You stinky little white, what do you have to fight with me! Jiang Lin looked at Tu Shanyu, who used to be a lady from a noble family, but now smiled like a fool. He blinked in confusion. "Please come in, Taoist Priest." At this time, Hu Huoyan on the side turned sideways and gave instructions to Jiang Lin. Jiang Lin didn't have time to think about it and followed the family immortal to climb up Tiesha Mountain. "There are five peaks standing on the Tiesha Mountain: the east, south, west, north and center. If you look up from the east, south and north, you can see three of the five peaks. Three threes add up to nine, so it is named 'Nine Peaks Tiesha Mountain'." On the way, Hu Huoyan introduced his own dojo to Jiang Lin. "What a coincidence! The Babao Yunguang Cave where my great-grandmother practiced cultivation is located at the top of Longjing Mountain on Tiesha Mountain, which has the same name as the blessed place where the Taoist master practiced cultivation." "We are also heading to Babao Yunguang Cave at this moment."
Hu Huoyan stopped and said, "We are here. This is the place." Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin looked towards the cave in front of him and saw a line of large characters on each side of the cave, which read: Nine-peaked Iron Brake Mountain, Eight-Treasure Cloud Light Cave. There are many inscriptions on the stone wall where the cave is located. Among them, the four largest and oldest characters read: Live as long as the sky. When you see it, you feel a sense of grandeur. "It is truly a blessed place." Jiang Lin couldn't help but sigh that the four big characters "Yu Tian Tong Shou" seemed a bit presumptuous, but if he knew who carved these characters, he would not have such an idea. The Eight Treasures Cloud Light Cave is the cave where the "Long-browed Immortal Li Daxian" practiced cultivation. This Immortal Li has another more famous name. Li Changgeng. That is to say, Taibai Jinxing in the heavenly court, the Morning Star Lord, is the leader of the 365 star gods, in charge of killing, war and change. Even Pojun Star Lord, who is two sides of the same coin as the Grand Marshal Tianpeng, can only be inferior to him. This star god is not only a famous god in heaven, but also has many other titles. For example, the only close minister of the Great Celestial Lord, the good-tempered old man in the Heavenly Court, the only immortal in the Heavenly Court who could make a certain monkey listen to reason, etc... The place where this great god once practiced in seclusion is obviously worthy of these four words. Because in a sense, he really is as long-lived as heaven. "Taoist Master, please." Hu Huoyan bowed to Jiang Lin, then stepped aside to guide him, and said with a smile: "It is also thanks to the Taoist priest that I am here, otherwise it would not be easy to meet the great grandmother." "I am flattered too." Jiang Lin smiled and nodded, then followed Hu Huoyan into the Babao Yunguang Cave. The cave was not dark at all, but rather bright as day. As soon as I walked in, I saw a statue of the Jade Emperor standing on the shrine. When Jiang Lin saw this, he quickly straightened his clothes. Hu Huoyan, who was standing beside him, handed him three sticks of agarwood. Then, Jiang Lin stepped forward and bowed three times, offering incense. Nothing strange happened. This was certainly not the first time that Jiang Lin offered incense to the statue of the Jade Emperor. When he was in exile before, Jiang Lin stayed in many Taoist temples. All the large temples worshipped the Great Heavenly Venerable. It would be better to say that there are only a few Taoist temples that do not worship the Jade Emperor. Most of them are temples of descendants like Jiang Lin. After paying homage to the Great Heavenly Venerable, Jiang Lin walked inside and soon saw another statue. This statue is the statue of Taibai Jinxing. Jiang Lin, along with Miao Qing and Tu Shan Yu, bowed three times as usual and then offered incense. But at this moment, Jiang Lin suddenly froze.
He looked at the statue of Taibai Jinxing somewhat rudely, as if the pair of kind and gentle eyes had come alive and were looking at him. "Taoist priest?" Hu Huoyan, who was standing by, naturally noticed this strange behavior and called out carefully. "I'm sorry, I'm being rude." Jiang Lin came back to his senses and retracted his gaze, only to see Hu Huoyan silently bowing and retreating to a corner. Seeing this, Jiang Lin turned around as if he had sensed something and looked towards the statue of Taibai Jinxing. Under the statue in the shrine, an old lady appeared out of nowhere. The old lady was dressed in black and was leaning on a dragon-headed cane. She had a kind and gentle face and smiling eyes as she looked Jiang Lin up and down. "Junior Jiang Xuanying greets Lady Black." Jiang Lin smiled, took two steps forward and bowed. "Junior Tu Shanyu greets the elders." Tu Shanyu also stepped forward to pay her respects, but her address was a little different. She and the great protector Tieshashan belonged to the same clan, so naturally she addressed him as clan elder. Because even in Tushan, this black grandma is quite famous, and her influence is not only in Tieshashan, but also well-known in the entire fox clan. "Black Granny!" Miao Qing was much more casual. She poked her head out and asked with a smile, "Are there any chicken legs this time?" "This is the daughter of a big silkworm." Grandma Hei laughed and cursed, her tone having a certain flavor unique to the Northeast. While cursing, she fumbled at her sleeves, took out an oil-paper bag, and threw it to Miaoqing. "Thank you Black Grandma!" Miaoqing took it with a grin, and started eating without any hesitation. "Mmm... delicious!" Seeing Miaoqing eating happily, Grandma Hei smiled more kindly. Smiling, Grandma Hei looked at Jiang Lin and Tu Shanyu and said, "Last time this girl came, she accidentally entered my back room and took away the elixir. The kid at home also had a bad temper and started fighting without saying a word." "Look, the situation got bigger and bigger, and even Wong Tai Sin was alarmed." Hearing this, Jiang Lin laughed and said, "This girl is very reckless and has caused trouble for Lady Black." "It's just a small matter." Grandma Hei smiled and waved her hands, saying, "Master Xiao Jiang, what is the matter with you coming here this time?" Jiang Lin always felt that something was wrong. Logically speaking, among the three of them in his group, Tu Shanyu should be the most honorable one in Hei Nainan's eyes. But Grandma Hei just greeted Tu Shanyu and focused most of her attention on herself.
This is obviously not normal. However, Jiang Lin did not think much about it, and just smiled and said: "My Taoist temple is going to be expanded, and I need to find two suitable giant trees. Miaoqing said that the dragon-subduing wood in our Tiesha Mountain is unique in the world, so I came here with the audacity to ask for two suitable woods as the base material for the statue." "Oh?" Hearing this, Grandma Hei smiled and said, "So it's a statue for Emperor Ziwei and Emperor Fengdu." Hearing this, Jiang Lin blinked and began to understand why Grandma Hei had this attitude. "There are quite a few of these Dragon Subduing Wood trees on the mountain. If you see any that are suitable, just take them, Taoist Xiao Jiang." Black Grandma said this, but paused. Then, in Jiang Lin's somewhat puzzled eyes, he took out a talisman and handed it to Jiang Lin. "A disciple of the Lady Lishan family also wrote to me not long ago, saying that he wanted to get a dragon-subduing wood that was more than a thousand years old." Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment and was about to speak, but he saw Grandma Hei smiling kindly and stuffed the talisman into Jiang Lin's hand without saying a word. He couldn't help but look down at the talisman, but before he could figure out what it meant, he heard Black Grandma continue to speak. "Since Taoist Xiao Jiang is also after the Dragon Subduing Wood, I will shamelessly send you on this trip." "Please go get one and send it over first." "It's not far. The girl named Mu Guiying just wrote to me. She and her husband are in the town at the foot of the mountain." (End of this chapter)
