Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 141 Two Good Destinies
At this time, the three thousand li area in the center of Yangui Island was in ruins, with pits filled with the aura of destruction and flashes of lightning from time to time.

In the largest cenote in the center of the island, as the dust rose up and dissipated, a golden bead emitting an immortal aura slowly appeared.

Soon, the golden beads quickly burst into light and suddenly scattered. At the same time, Niu Yi, wearing a Taoist robe with a slanting moon and three stars in the cave, quickly appeared in the air in the flashing golden light.

Niu Yi slowly opened his eyes, stretched out his hand and grasped it, sensing the deep magic power like the sea in his body, as well as the terrifying power hidden in his body.

That is the power brought by the Eight-Nine Profound Art, which has reached its fifth level.

"Is this the realm of the Great Demon King?"

The corners of Niu Yi's mouth slowly curled up, revealing an undisguised smile on his face.

"Haha~ It seems that Junior Brother has succeeded."

Hearing the voice behind him, Niu Yi turned around and looked at his senior brothers Guanghui and Guangwu, bowed and said:
"Thank you, Senior Brother and Senior Brother Guangwu, for your protection."

"Hey~ Junior Brother Guangyi is so polite again."

The eldest brother looked at Niu Yi and waved his hand. The three brothers couldn't help but smile at each other in mid-air.

Three months after Niu Yi survived the thunder tribulation.

Outside Shangtang Village, Liu Qiaoqiao and her master were looking at Shangtang Village in front of them, but Liu Qiaoqiao's face showed a complicated expression.

She has been away from home practicing Taoism for decades, and several generations have passed away in Shangtang Village. At this time, there is probably no one she knows in Shangtang Village anymore, and Shangtang Village is very different from what she remembers.

Perhaps the things that have changed the least in Shangtang Village are the earth vein formation surrounded by a circle of hemp rope and the statue of the God of Land at the entrance of the village.

Liu Qiaoqiao stepped forward and looked at the weather-beaten statue of the God of Land in front of her.

This statue of the God of Land was rebuilt by her grandfather and the men in the village when she left. Now, decades have passed, and the statue of the God of Land is protected by Shangtang Village and receives incense every year. Although it has some signs of time, it has also gained more divine meaning.

The man who was farming in the field nearby saw this scene but paid no attention to it. After all, the land temple in their village was famous for its efficacy, and many people from other villages often came to worship.

Liu Qiaoqiao looked at the statue of the God of Land in front of her with her clear eyes, and a hint of nostalgia flashed in her eyes.

At this moment, in Liu Qiaoqiao's eyes, a ray of light quickly emerged from the statue of the Earth God. The light shone in front of the statue, revealing the figure of the Earth God of Jindou Mountain.

But the Earth God looked at the heroic girl in front of him, and a hint of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, but he still said respectfully to the woman in white:
"Golden Dou Mountain Land God, I have met the fairy."

He had not figured out this person's true identity back then, and he still couldn't figure it out now, but just by looking at the other person's cool and pure aura that was not tainted by the mundane world, he knew that she must be a fairy from the upper realm who had descended to earth.

Liu Qiaoqiao's master looked at the Earth God opposite him and saluted him:

"Golden Dou Mountain Earth God, no need to be so polite."

If it were a matter of divine duty, the Earth God in front of her would certainly not allow her to return the gift, but this Earth God was a little different. Not only was he a friend of that one, he had also been involved in taking care of Liu Qiaoqiao and Liu Dongchen for many years, and had a good relationship with the two of them.

Liu Qiaoqiao looked at the amiable Jindou Mountain God of Land in front of her and felt quite cordial.

She quickly stepped forward, bowed to the Earth God of Jindou Mountain, and said respectfully:

"Junior Liu Qiaoqiao, greetings to the God of Land."

The Earth God of Jindou Mountain quickly waved his hands and said:

"No, no, no." Liu Qiaoqiao looked at the Earth God of Jindou Mountain and said seriously:

"The Earth God took great care of my Liu family and Shangtang Village back then, but Liu Qiaoqiao only found out about it later. Please rest assured, Earth God, Liu Qiaoqiao and my brother will never forget your kindness."

Although the God of Land of Jindou Mountain felt somewhat relieved, he still waved his hands repeatedly.

"Miss Qiaoqiao, there's no need to do this. This is just my job."

After all, Niu Yi had asked him for help by paying him five sticks of incense sticks a month. Niu Yi had given these five sticks of incense sticks directly to Liu Dongchen when he left home at the age of sixteen.

His fate with the Liu family was because of Niu Yi. If the child wanted to thank someone, he should thank Niu Yi.

However, Niu Yi had created the identity of Taoist Jin Lingzi to contact the Liu family. It was obvious that he did not want the Liu family to know the truth and his true identity, but he was not in a position to say it directly.

"Lord of the Land, I have returned this time with another matter for your assistance. I wonder if you can find Taoist Master Jin Lingzi?"

"This"

Seeing that this was possible, Liu Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up and she quickly said:
"Please rest assured, God of Land. Qiaoqiao will never make things difficult for you. However, if you can find Taoist Jin Lingzi, please also pass on a message for me, saying that Liu Qiaoqiao is also very grateful and misses the immortal, and wonders if she can meet him."

"I'll just have to trouble the Earth God to pass on this message. If Taoist Jin Lingzi doesn't want to see me, I won't have any objections."

Hearing Liu Qiaoqiao's words, the Earth God of Jindou Mountain looked into Liu Qiaoqiao's clear and sincere eyes, nodded slowly, and said:
"I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely convey this message."

Hearing that the Earth God no longer called himself an old man, Liu Qiaoqiao finally showed a bright and beautiful smile on her face, and bowed seriously and said:

"Then I'll leave it to the God of Land."

The top of Jindou Mountain.

The Earth God of Jindou Mountain had just arrived at the mountain and was thinking about how to convey the message to Niu Yi when he saw a figure in a gray Taoist robe standing under the longevity peach tree, looking at the longevity peaches that were still growing on the tree.

At this moment, the figure in the gray Taoist robe slowly turned around and looked at the Earth God of Jindou Mountain with a smile.

"Long time no see, Earth God."

"Niu Yi, weren't we just a few days ago... No, this is your real body?! Not your spirit body?!"

The God of Land was a little confused at first, but when he found that Niu Yi in front of him was not surrounded by the golden light of his primordial spirit, he couldn't help but say in surprise.

He walked forward quickly with an excited look on his face, looked at Niu Yi who was also coming, and asked:
"Have you achieved success and finished your apprenticeship?"

Niu Yi smiled and shook his head, saying:
"No, I just asked for leave from Master and came back to see everyone."

Upon hearing this, the Earth God of Jindou Mountain nodded with some regret.

Niu Yi smiled and said:
"Lord of the Land, when I left, I left a lot of wine on this mountain. Now that I'm back, please join me for a drink~"

Upon hearing this, the Earth God of Jindou Mountain was delighted and couldn't help but laugh heartily:
"Hahaha~ Exactly!"

On the top of Jindou Mountain, surrounded by spiritual mist and with colorful peach blossoms in full bloom, an old man and a young man sat opposite each other at a stone table in a stone pavilion. The sound of clinking wine bowls and laughter could be heard in the air, just like in the past.
