Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 138 Incarnation
Early the next morning, Niu Yi walked out of the thatched cottage, but saw a tall figure wearing a gorgeous white shirt with cloud patterns and a jade crown on his head in the peach blossom forest. He was standing with his back to him, admiring the flowers on the peach trees.

Niu Yi was shocked when he saw this person, and he quickly stepped forward to greet him and said:

"senior."

"Well, no need to be polite."

Hearing the deep and majestic familiar voice, Niu Yi's heart began to beat fast.

I just sensed the scent of Shinto incense last night, and this person is here now? That incense can't be directly related to this person, right?
At this moment, the man slowly turned around. He still had black hair and beard, a full face, a dignified appearance, and a majestic look without anger. He looked the same as Niu Yi had seen him that year.

"Heh~ I know what you're thinking, but I came to your mountain, why don't you invite me to sit down?"

Niu Yi quickly pointed to the stone table beside him and said respectfully:
"Excuse me, junior. Please come in, senior."

But the man nodded, walked towards the stone bench with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, and sat opposite Niu Yi who followed closely behind, at the stone table.

"Take out your chessboard and play a game with me."

Niu Yi nodded and quickly summoned out the Star Chessboard. The black piece was still facing the person opposite him, just like when he went up the mountain.

But the person opposite nodded slightly, took out a black piece from the black jade chess pot, and placed it on Tianyuan.

Niu Yi took out a white piece and quickly followed.

The two of them played for only a cup of tea, and Niu Yi looked at the disastrous situation on the chessboard and had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Oh, you're still a terrible chess player."

".Senior is right."

But the man opposite casually put the black chess piece in his hand into the chess pot, looked at Niu Yi and said:
"You still need to practice on the road of chess, but there's no rush."

"But in my heart, I suspect that your Shinto affairs have something to do with me?"

Niu Yi was stunned when he saw the man opposite him. He was about to say something, but he saw that man directly admitted it frankly.

"Yes, it's about me."

"But before we talk about this, please answer three questions for me."

Niu Yi nodded and said:

"Senior, please tell me."

"Let me ask you, all the times you've been helping people along the way, curing illnesses and saving lives, are those people truly grateful to you?"

"It's sincere."

"Okay, then let me ask you again, you resolved the feud between the Zhu family and the Old Turtle. The Zhu family and the Old Turtle family are all grateful to you. Is that sincere?"

".It's also sincere."

"In that case, these people are grateful to you for contributing to your reputation as the Divine Doctor Daoist Monarch today. Is there any problem with that?"

Niu Yi shook his head helplessly and said:

"Junior understands, there is naturally no problem with this."

The person in front of him has already made these three questions very clear. This is telling him that it was indeed this person who concealed the matter from him.

But the appearance of his Shinto incense was his own problem.

"Just understand."

Niu Yi saw the person opposite him casually produced a book and threw it directly to him.

"Next time we meet, don't be that bad chess player." Niu Yi took it quickly, but saw four big words written on the cover of the book: "Incarnation Outside the Body".

When Niu Yi looked up again, the person in front of him had disappeared.

Niu Yi quickly stood up, bowed towards the air and said:
"Congratulations, senior."

He had already guessed the identity of this person, but since the other person didn't say anything, how could he say it directly? Now that he treated the other person as a senior and considered himself a junior, he felt more at ease.

Seeing that he and the book in his hand were the only ones left on Rotten Peach Mountain, Niu Yi secretly wondered what this person meant.

This person was quite generous, and what he gave him this time was obviously a magical power to refine an external incarnation.
"It looks like that person is gone."

Hearing the voice of his senior brother behind him, Niu Yi quickly turned around and looked at his senior brother Guanghui who had suddenly appeared.

"Big brother."

Taoist Guanghui smiled and said:
"How do you feel when facing this person?"

"I feel a bit pressured. This senior's power is really..."

"Hahaha~ This is normal."

"Brother Guangyi, Master asked me to tell you that someone will come looking for you again in a few days. Master has already told you what to do. The rest is up to you."

When Niu Yi heard this, he immediately thought of what the master said to him when he met him a few days ago.

Niu Yi thought for a moment, then bowed to his senior brother and said:

"Big brother"

Niu Yi saw Taoist Guanghui wave his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said to him:
"This person has always been generous when he makes a move."

Niu Yi nodded suddenly and gave his senior brother a knowing smile.

This can be done.
However, he didn't have to wait for these things. He just had to do what he had to do. The Earthly Avenue was very close to him now.

If he ignored the Shinto incense, it would not interfere with his practice.

To be honest, Niu Yi was not very interested in the religious worship. He was now on the path of the Golden Elixir and was about to achieve the realm of the Great Demon King. The realm of the Demon Saint in the future, that is, the realm of the Daluo Golden Immortal, was not out of reach.

If he could achieve the Golden Immortal, then he, Niu Yi, would be considered a top figure in the three realms, and he would be able to roam freely in the three realms. Why would he need to follow the divine path then?

But that person has now given him the magical power of "Incarnation Outside the Body". I think it was that person who gave it to him, so that he could cultivate an incarnation to carry the incense of the Shinto.

Liu Qiaoqiao looked at the village in front of her and said to her master:
"Master, can't we stay a few more days?"

After finally getting some information about the Taoist Master Jin Lingzi from that year, she wanted to stay here for a couple more days and look around.

The woman wearing a white veil looked at Liu Qiaoqiao and said:
"Why, you're not anxious to go home anymore?"

The woman's voice was cold and clear, with a hint of nobility in it, but Liu Qiaoqiao was not affected at all, and still looked at her master with a smile on her face.

"Hehe~ Master, as expected, nothing can escape your discerning eyes."

"I think the Taoist Master of Divine Medicine enshrined here might be the Taoist Master Jin Lingzi. I want to explore this place a little more. Maybe I can meet Taoist Master Jin Lingzi again."

The woman looked at Liu Qiaoqiao, a hint of doting flashed in her eyes, and said:
"You won't find him here. I see that although there is some faith in the Divine Doctor Daojun here, no one has accepted him. He is not a deity from heaven, at least not now."

Seeing Liu Qiaoqiao's eyes light up, as if she wanted to ask her something again, the woman shook her head slightly and said:
"Don't ask me, Master. The Taoist Master Jin Lingzi you mentioned also has a powerful following, and now he has caught the attention of those people."

"Practice well. If we are destined to meet again in the future, we will meet again."
