Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 18 Breeze
At this time, the four land gods formed a circle, their brows furrowed, their hands making hand seals, and foul black air rising from their bodies.

"Is this evil aura so powerful? It's even contaminated the minds of the four land gods?"

Niu Yi looked at this scene in some surprise. The realms of these four land gods were actually not much different from his early stage demon general realm, but they were not good at fighting.

But even so, it shouldn't be tossed into this state.
Niu Yi looked thoughtfully at the evil aura rising from the four people in front of him, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind.

Oh, right, the Sutra of Purity and Tranquility!

The Scripture of Purity and Tranquility obtained from the Taoist temple seems to be in line with the current situation of these four people.

Thinking of this, Niu Yi quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, placing the green bamboo across his legs. In his mind, he kept recalling the Pure and Tranquil Sutra that the ethereal old man had conveyed in the Taoist temple, and slowly said:

"The Great Dao is invisible, yet it gives birth to heaven and earth. The Great Dao is ruthless, yet it moves the sun and moon. The Great Dao is nameless, yet it nourishes all things."

As Niu Yi's voice slowly entered the ears of the four land gods, their frowns seemed to relax a little.

Seeing that the Pure and Tranquil Sutra was really useful, Niu Yi immediately became energized. He simply closed his eyes and concentrated on reciting the Pure and Tranquil Sutra.

The first time, Niu Yi was still a little unfamiliar and paused for a moment.

But by the third time, there seemed to be some kind of rhythm in Niu Yi's voice, which made the four land officials' frowns completely relax, and dark evil auras continued to rise from their bodies and then dissipate.

By the fifth time, as Niu Yi chanted the Sutra of Purity and Tranquility, a cool breeze actually arose between heaven and earth.

The breeze blew gently over the bodies of the four land gods, and the evil aura on their bodies was completely blown away and disappeared.

The four of them slowly opened their eyes and looked at each other. They all saw the shock on each other's faces. Then they turned their heads and looked at Niu Yi, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, immersed in chanting the Pure and Tranquil Sutra.

None of the four dared to make any noise for fear of disturbing the others.

It was not until Niu Yi finished chanting the Pure Tranquility Sutra for the fifth time and slowly opened his eyes that the four of them stood up together, bowed to Niu Yi, and said in unison:

"Thank you, Chief Niu Yi."

Niu Yi quickly stood up and bowed in return.

"You four land gods are so polite. I was a bit rash just now. Fortunately, I was able to help you."

But the landowner of Yunwu Mountain waved his hands repeatedly and said:
"Chief Niu Yi's words really embarrass us. If it weren't for Chief Niu Yi's chanting, I'm afraid we would have been in big trouble."

The landowner of Yingluo Valley also said quickly:

"That's right. This time we underestimated the evil energy within the earth's veins. The tiger demon must have refined some magical weapon filled with resentment and violence. If we weren't careful, we would have been in trouble."

"If it weren't for Chief Niu Yi chanting the Xuanmen Sutra beside us, we would have been in real trouble this time."

"When one of the Five Elders of the Five Directions, Avalokitesvara of the South Sea, preaches, it often resonates with the heavens and the earth, with flowers falling from the sky and golden lotuses sprouting from the ground. After listening to Chief Niu Yi reciting the sutra today, I finally know that this is true~"

"Yes, yes!"

Seeing the two land gods praising him, Niu Yi felt ashamed. How could he not know that the two people in front of him were complimenting him?

Although these two were polite just now, they did not have the subtle intention of trying to please like they do now.

It looked as if he had accidentally revealed something remarkable.
The land god of Jindou Mountain stroked his beard and watched this scene with a smile, feeling extremely happy in his heart.

After this, the other three landowners all owed Niu Yi a favor. As for him, his friendship with Niu Yi would become estranged if he continued to talk about favors.

"Chief Niu Yi!" Just as Niu Yi was chatting with the land god of Luoying Mountain and the land god of Yunwu Mountain, he heard the voice of the land god of Baoquanjian beside him, drawing everyone's attention over.

But the landowner of Baoquanjian, with his beard twitching, bowed his stout body towards Niu Yi and said:

"Captain Niu Yi, I have an unwelcome request!"

When the other three land gods saw this scene, they understood.

Niu Yi also had some guesses in his mind, but he still stepped forward quickly and helped the landowner of Baoquanjian up.

"Baoquanjian Earth God, please stand up quickly and start talking."

"We also ask Chief Niu Yi to chant the Xuanmen Sutra and help us sort out the veins of Tiger Roar Mountain as soon as possible and eliminate the evil spirits within."

When the landowner of Baoquanjian said this, he saw that Niu Yi was hesitant and was afraid that Niu Yi would refuse, so he quickly said:

"Of course! I will definitely not let Chief Niu Yi suffer any loss. In my Baoquan Stream, there are 42 kinds of spiritual fish, including golden koi and jade barracuda."

"This spiritual fish is not only delicious, but also extremely beneficial for cultivation."

"Since I have delayed Chief Niu Yi's training, I am willing to give him half of my spirit fish as a gift. I will never let Chief Niu Yi suffer any loss!"

Hearing what Baoquanjian land god said, not only Niu Yi was a little surprised, but the other three land gods were also a little surprised.

It can be seen that this person really spent a lot of money in order to rush back to repair Baoquanjian.

The most troublesome thing about the Tiger Roar Mountain's veins nowadays is the evil spirit that fills the veins, which is transformed from a lot of resentment and hostility. This thing is extremely difficult to deal with.

Even if the four of them joined forces and stayed in the earth veins for a while longer, they would still be infected by the evil energy. If they relied on themselves to refine it, it would take at least three hours, or a full half a day.

With Niu Yi chanting the Pure and Tranquil Sutra, it only takes the time of an incense stick to completely eliminate these evil spirits, greatly speeding up their repair of the earth veins.

The landowners of Luoying Mountain and Yunwu Mountain looked at each other, nodded slightly, and both thought that this was feasible.

"Captain Niu Yi, my Cloud Mist Mountain has nothing special except the Cloud Mist Pine Cones, which are extremely delicious and quite beneficial for cultivation. If you are willing to lend a hand this time, I will definitely not let you suffer any loss."

"Chief Niu Yi, the same is true of my Fallen Cherry Valley. I collected cherry blossoms from the hundred-year-old cherry trees and brewed them with various spiritual fruits. I still have three jars of fifty-year-old cherry wine left. It tastes great. Take it back and try it. I will definitely not let you suffer any loss."

The three land gods finished speaking one by one, and finally their eyes turned to the land god of Jindou Mountain.

Seeing this, the landowner of Jindou Mountain shook his head helplessly and looked at Niu Yi and said:

"I don't have anything special, but if you're willing to help, feel free to take anything you like from this Tiger Roaring Mountain area during the fifty years I've been in charge."

He was just pretending to do so and expressing his attitude. If Niu Yi was willing to help, that would be great, but he would not force Niu Yi.

After all, this cow only wanted to play with his flowers and plants, and had only come down the mountain a few times in the past eight years. He knew in his heart that
Niu Yi was in deep thought for a moment, his face showing hesitation. After a while, he looked at the four land officials in front of him and said with a bow:

"Well, now that Tiger Roar Mountain has suffered such a disaster, it's only natural that I should lend a helping hand. Thank you all for your trust."

“Hahahaha, Niu Yi leader Gao Yi!”

"Then I'll have to trouble Chief Niu Yi for the next period of time!"

"Chief Niu Yi, please rest assured! We will deliver the promised things to Jindou Mountain after the matter is completed!"
