Chapter 118: The biggest change in a thousand years, the master is coming!
Yu Que looked at the man with a dazed expression, and a look of surprise and suspicion suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Because the familiar face in the crowd was none other than his master Huang Guishan!

Yu Que felt numb for a moment. He could never have imagined that he would see his master on the mountain.

You know, according to what Taoist Master Kuzhu revealed, going up the mountain is more difficult than going down the mountain.

Huang Guishan was mixed in the crowd in the cafeteria. When he saw Yu Que, his eyes changed and he immediately showed surprise. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

But Huang Guishan immediately looked away and didn't look at Yu Que for too long. He pretended not to know Yu Que and went to get his meal in the cafeteria.

There were people coming and going in the cafeteria, and the scene was crowded.

Yu Que understood what he meant and guessed that his master had sneaked up the mountain and could not attract too much attention, so he did not want to recognize him in public.

But he was even more confused: "Why did Master Huang come up the mountain this time... Could it be for me?!"

His heart was pounding and an indescribable feeling arose.

But outwardly, Yu Que was still walking calmly in the cafeteria, blending in with the crowd, and did not appear out of place.

However, when he got his food and chose a seat to sit down, the seat he chose was close to Huang Guishan, and it happened to be the seat where Huang Guishan had just sat down and then stood up and gave up.

As soon as he sat down, Yu Que glanced at the table and found nothing. However, when he was sitting cross-legged and touched under the table, he grabbed a talisman paper stuck on the back of the table and put it into his sleeve.

Yu Quexiu had spiritual consciousness. He released his spiritual consciousness and scanned the talisman paper, then he knew the function of the talisman paper.

This is a sound transmission note that can facilitate the transmission of messages between immortals across space.

It has many uses and comes in many styles, some are disposable, while others can be pinched and used continuously for a period of time.

However, the distance limitation of the latter is huge.

For example, the sound transmission talisman that Huang Guishan left for Yu Que can only transmit sound point to point, and once the holders at both ends are more than a hundred feet apart, they can no longer communicate with each other. Moreover, within a hundred feet, the distance of the sound transmission will be affected by various rocks and trees.

But the advantage is that this item is not expensive. It is just a ninth-grade top-grade talisman. Huang Guishan can take it out by gritting his teeth. Moreover, the fluctuation of this sound transmission talisman during the transmission is extremely small. Even if it is used in front of others for secret conversations, the other party may not find out.

Besides, Yu Que and the other person were now in the dining hall. Apart from the Taoists who were eating, there was no one blocking them, and the distance between them was also close.

He only needs to shake his spiritual sense and make a slight sound in the sound transmission talisman, and Huang Guishan will react.

"Fellow Daoist, why do you keep this talisman paper?" Yu Que asked.

Huang Guishan's laughter suddenly rang out from the spell:
"Don't call me fellow Taoist, just call me Master.

Don't worry, you and I are chatting through the sound transmission note. Even if someone in the courtyard can sense the fluctuations, it won't be a big problem. There is no need for them to eavesdrop on our conversation.

There are many people here who are gossipy, and many of them are using spells to talk in secret. It's just that you haven't practiced similar sound transmission spells yet, so you can't detect it. I can only communicate with you through spells."

Upon hearing this, Yu Que stopped pretending and said:
"Yu Que greets Master. Master, why did you come up the mountain? Didn't you say it would be difficult to go up the mountain again in this lifetime?"

Huang Guishan said unhappily, "Master only said that it is difficult to climb the mountain, not that there is no hope for life. The real hopelessness for life is to climb the three main peaks, especially Tiandu Peak.

What else can I do? Of course I came to see you, a silly boy! Before you went up the mountain, I told you that there might be someone to keep you there, so you should be careful.

But you have been in the mountain for a few days, but I have not received any news from the county school. I don’t even know whether you have passed the re-evaluation of the ancestral temple. After thinking about it, I found that I still have to go up the mountain to see you. "

The other party said in a relaxed voice from the spell:
"Now it seems that you are in very good condition, so Master is relieved. If no one stops you on the mountain, Master will take a look at you and then go to the Immortal City to revisit the old place today and leave tonight."

Huang Guishan did not say how he got up the mountain, but it was obvious that the price he paid was not small. And the robe the other party was wearing, if Yu Que remembered correctly, should be a servant's robe.

I don't know what kind of connections this person had to disguise himself as a servant and go up the mountain, and then sneak over to the Examination and Assessment Institute to help.

But when Yu Que heard what the other party said, he suddenly felt a surge of heat in his heart, which made him even more speechless.

For a moment, Yu Que really wanted Huang Guishan to stop worrying and go down the mountain quickly so as not to be noticed by the people in the Taoist Palace.

But after hesitating for a few breaths, he suppressed this immature thought and spoke to Huang Guishan in a deep voice:
"Master, I won't hide it from you. There is indeed someone on the mountain who wants to force me to stay on the mountain. And this person is not from a noble family, but a master in the master-disciple lineage!"

These words immediately made Huang Guishan, who was sitting at the next table, frown.

Yu Que did not waste any time and immediately told Huang Guishan all the information that he had not sworn not to reveal. As for the things that he could not tell, such as the matter of the Taoist soldiers, he just brushed it off by saying that he had become a pawn in their calculations.

After these words were spoken, both sides fell into silence for a while.

Huang Guishan was extremely shocked.

This person actually came prepared, but as Yu Que said, they both originally estimated that Yu Que would be stopped by the people from the aristocratic families.

Therefore, during Huang Guishan's trip, he probably had two ways to help Yu Que.

One is to instruct Yu Que to join the master-disciple lineage and directly pay homage to the pier in the Examination and Evaluation Institute. As for which pier he should pay homage to, Huang Guishan had already inquired about it when he went up the mountain.

Secondly, the first method didn't work, so Huang Guishan simply introduced Yu Que to join Huangshan as a branch of the Huang family.

In this case, Yu Que might have to pay some price, such as signing a marriage contract.

However, the master and disciple knew each other before the temple was opened, and Huang Guishan was the head of a branch of the Huang family living at the foot of the mountain. His disciple was originally a member of the Huang family. It was not that after joining the Huang family, he was not even as good as a guest official in the clan.

With the approval of the Huang family, the aristocratic families on the mountain may still look down on Yu Que, but they will most likely regard Yu Que as half of their own and no longer deliberately suppress him. As a result, when he met Yu Que now, Huang Guishan really didn't expect that the suppression Yu Que faced actually came from the master-disciple lineage!
Especially what Yu Que revealed, that master and disciple lineage not only suppressed Yu Que, but also wanted to use him as a tool for future conflicts.

"How can a master-disciple relationship treat others like this?"

Huang Guishan murmured, "Could it be that they already know that you, Que'er, have become my disciple, so they are deliberately trying to warn you?"

Yu Que immediately said: "It is most likely not the case, but that lineage has other plans for the revival of spiritual energy!"

He paused, then quickly sent a voice message to ask:
"Master, may I ask what is the matter of 'resurrection of spiritual energy'?"

Huang Guishan slowly came back to his senses from his surprise. He racked his brains and told Yu Que all the information he knew:
"I have heard a little about this matter. It is rumored that when this dynasty reaches the age of nearly a thousand years, there will be a major change that has not happened in ten thousand years. One of the major possibilities of this change is the revival of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the revival of the immortal way.

Therefore, many families are preparing for this, and some even started preparing hundreds of years ago. It is rumored that some immortals who have cultivated their primordial spirits will also reincarnate and live again until the spiritual energy recovers, so that they can compete for the opportunity to become immortals during the prosperous spiritual energy era..."

Huang Guishan spoke in a deep voice:
“Strictly speaking, Que’er, you are sixteen or seventeen years old this year. If you can cultivate to the fifth-grade Gangshen realm in this lifetime, even if you don’t seal yourself or swallow secret medicine, you can live to be one hundred and fifty years old and catch up with the revival of spiritual energy!
Once the spiritual energy is revived, your generation will live longer and have a greater chance of breaking through to become a Yuanshen Immortal, or even becoming an Immortal in one breath."

When Yu Que heard this, for some reason, he suddenly felt his blood boil.

He murmured in his heart, "So that's how it is. I was born in the 855th year of the Xianghuo calendar. If I follow what Master said, I was born 145 years before the revival of spiritual energy. I was just able to catch the first train of the revival of spiritual energy!"

On the other side, Huang Guishan was still racking his brains, and slowly he told out all the information he knew about the revival of spiritual energy.

Finally, this person sighed:
“Speaking of which, such rumors were also spread when I was a child.

At that time, it was said that when the incense burned for 900 years, the spiritual energy would revive. Even earlier, it was said that "the incense burning would not last more than the first seven days", which meant that the incense burning would not last more than 700 years, and a disaster would occur after 700 years.

However, generation after generation, there is no proof of this. Therefore, I, the master, only regard the claim of spiritual energy reviving after a thousand years as just a rumor.

But if what you said now is true, the thousand-year revival of spiritual energy is probably a foregone conclusion. By then, even if this round of revival is not a great revival that only happens once in ten thousand years, it will definitely last for sixty years. It is indeed a rare opportunity to become an immortal in thousands of years!"

"Thank you, Master, for clearing up my doubts!" ​​Yu Que became even more excited after hearing this.

Immediately, he muttered secretly in his heart:
"No wonder that Taoist Master Kuzhu said that those who will compete with me for the true teachings in the future will all be Tianmiao. It's as if in his mouth, Tianmiao has become cabbage on the mountain...

If my generation can really catch the first train of spiritual energy revival, perhaps even the reincarnated Yuanshen immortals may come to compete for the position of true successor of these generations!"

Yu Que thought about it for several times, and he did not feel much fear in his heart. Instead, he felt that he could not lose his true identity so easily!

He gritted his teeth in his heart: "Even if I don't want to be admitted to this damn Huangshan Taoist Palace, and go to other Taoist palaces to take the exam, I must not lose the opportunity to fight for the true teachings!"

After all, those who receive the true teachings can enjoy the support of a sect. Even when the spiritual energy has not yet revived, they still have a certain chance to cultivate their primordial spirit and enjoy immortality.

If the spiritual energy revives, the advantage that this identity can gain will be even greater.

For example, if Yu Que wants to prolong his life, with the support of a sect, it will be no problem for him to live a few decades longer. It is even possible for him to restore his life span to that of the ancient monks!
Yu Que immediately stopped hesitating and said to Huang Guishan:

"Master, I am incompetent and don't know how to escape. Please lead me down the mountain."

He also told Huang Guishan about the conspiracy between himself and Taoist Master Kuzhu, but he concealed Kuzhu's identity in his words.

Huang Guishan was slightly startled when he heard this, his brows furrowed, but he did not hesitate, and immediately chuckled and said:
"Silly boy, people on the mountain are bullying you. Your master has no ambition to help you, but since you have come to the mountain, I will take you with me even if I have to risk my old bones."

Yu Que felt a surge of heat in his heart, and he had many words to say, but after a few pauses, he only uttered three words in the sound transmission note:

"Yes, Master."

After a while, the two continued their conversation and made plans to meet again in the evening.

During the day, after having their meal, they continued to pretend that they did not know each other, and each went about their work, preparing to go down the mountain at night.

The remaining ones need to go and consult with Taoist Master Kuzhu.

He did not seek any help from the other party, but only wanted to find out from this old fox what the atmosphere in the examination hall was like, and whether the alchemist had changed his mind.

As for Huang Guishan, he was wearing a Taoist robe for menial tasks and wandering around the examination hall, looking around here and there.

After checking out the area, in order to prevent the method of going down the mountain in his memory from changing, the two of them directly changed from "going down the mountain" to escaping privately. They hurriedly left the Examination and Evaluation Institute and went to other peaks of the Taoist Palace and the Huangshan Fairy City.

That’s right, it was part of Huang Guishan’s plan to get down the mountain for Yu Que.

In fact, they did not need to leave through the mountains and forests secretly as Yu Que had imagined. Instead, they could leave the Examination and Assessment Institute and leisurely go down the mountain via the fixed route in the mountains.

It should be noted that Yu Que is now merely confined in the Examination and Assessment Institute. Strictly speaking, the Examination and Assessment Institute has no reason to confine him at all. They are only trying to temper his character and make him submit.

Under such circumstances, even if Yu Que wanted to rush down the mountain with great fanfare, it would at most give people a chance to criticize him and an excuse to accuse him of being "rebellious", so that they could take the opportunity to confine him in the Examination and Assessment Institute and force him to stay in the mountains.

But apart from this, the master and disciple lineage cannot do anything more excessive openly.

After all, Yu Que was a Taoist from the Temple of Heaven who was invited to the mountain to verify his identity. He was not a bad person, not even a disciple of the Taoist Palace, and was not bound by the rules of the palace.

Of course, he and Huang Guishan both believed that if they could avoid a head-on conflict with the master and disciple lineage, they would do so. It would be safest to sneak down the mountain quietly.

Once we get to the foot of the mountain, we can make a long-term plan and even transfer directly to a school outside the county.
