Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 21: Golden Escape Magical Power

"Sir, I've never heard of the Jindou Mountain you mentioned."

"However, if you are going to enter the mountainous area, please be careful. Over the years, many people have escaped from the mountainous area, and many masters with superb martial arts skills have never returned after entering the mountainous area."

On the second floor of the tavern, the waiter looked at the handsome young man in front of him and gave him subtle advice.

This handsome young man was none other than Guo Le'an, who had traveled for more than two months and was approaching the mountainous area.

Guo Le'an just smiled and said nothing more. He threw three copper coins to the waiter as a tip, picked up the wrapped sword, and left.

The waiter weighed the copper coins in his hand twice, put them in his pocket, and sighed helplessly.

Another one who couldn't be persuaded to go to his death.
Not far from where Guo Le'an was sitting, three big men wearing conical hats and with gloomy faces quickly stood up and followed Guo Le'an downstairs to the tavern.

But what surprised them was that when the three of them went downstairs, they did not see Guo Le'an again.

The leading man with a scar on his face and a cold gaze glanced around and said in a low voice:

"Something's wrong! He's noticed! Split up and chase him!"

The two big men behind him nodded heavily, and the three of them quickly left the tavern and went after Guo Le'an separately.

However, at this time, Guo Le'an was standing on the roof of the tavern, stepping on the tiles, watching with interest the three big men who quickly separated to chase him.

"This is already the eighth batch along the way. These guys are so persistent. What exactly is this thing that Grandpa wants me to deliver?"

Guo Le'an looks lively, but he is actually a meticulous person, otherwise Guo Xiuwen would not let his grandson go out and explore the world alone.

Guo Le'an had already spotted these three people when he entered the tavern, and he had seen a lot of guys like them recently.

What he saw and heard during this period of experience outside really opened his eyes.

He now discovered that in the outside world, martial arts skills were secondary. These people used all kinds of knockout drugs, love potions, various traps, and even beauty traps. As long as they could achieve their goals, they would do anything.

Guo Le'an also followed his grandfather's teachings, being cautious and tolerant whenever possible.

As for those who harbor ill intentions towards him, send them all to see the King of Hell!
"You are lucky. After passing this place, there are mountains ahead. The most important thing is to find the otherworldly master named Niu Yi."

A hint of anticipation flashed in Guo Le'an's eyes, and his heart was full of longing for the hermit master his grandfather had mentioned.

Although the exact location of Jindou Mountain is still unclear, we unexpectedly learned the road that the escorts used to take. If we follow that road, we should find some clues.

Tiger Roar Mountain.

As two months passed, it was early June.

The originally lifeless Tiger Roaring Mountain seemed to have regained some vitality. Even some green sprouts appeared in the originally dark and yellow soil. Although inconspicuous, they gave Tiger Roaring Mountain some vitality.

Niu Yi sat upright at the foot of the mountain, holding a green bamboo in his hand, with a gleam in his eyes, looking at the ground.

In his eyes, traces of evil spirits were constantly seeping out from the ground of Tiger Roar Mountain, rising into the air, and completely dissipated when illuminated by the sunlight.

This scene has been going on since the four land gods sorted out the earth veins three days ago.

At this time, the four land gods joined forces to activate the power of the underground veins that had been straightened out. With the help of the power of the veins themselves, they quickly expelled the evil spirits from the veins and restored vitality to this place.

The precious light in Niu Yi's eyes faded, and his dark eyes became deep and clear.

"Looking at this, with another day tomorrow, this evil energy should be completely expelled from this earth vein."

"I can finally go back to my Golden Dou Mountain."

Niu Yi smiled as he sat cross-legged on the ground, placing a green bamboo across his knees. He saw that after wrapping the Golden Spirit Jade Bamboo for so long, and having been subjected to Niu Yi's mana flow day and night, the green bamboo itself had begun to emit a faint precious light. Niu Yi held the green bamboo in his hand, and in a flash of golden light, his figure instantly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was on a hillside fifteen miles away.

Niu Yi looked at the palm-sized piece of iron stone beside him and smiled.

He has completely mastered the magical power of golden escape.

He had a very fulfilling life during the past two months.

During the day, in the morning, with the help of the Golden Spirit Jade Bamboo, he comprehended the Golden Escape Magical Power in the Five Elements Escape Method. In the afternoon, he used the treasure energy to sacrifice the cause and effect hexagram coins and comprehend the cause and effect hexagram theory.

Even in his spare time, he would use his magical powers to refine the golden bamboo while taking out the "Incense Book" to study it carefully.

At night, he was in a state of mind of dreaming and constantly cleaning the dilapidated Taoist temple. Although he did not get any other magical powers or magic weapons from the Taoist temple in the past two months, he was already very satisfied.

After all, what he was learning now had completely occupied his time, and he couldn't digest too much at once.

At this moment, Niu Yi suddenly had an idea and looked towards the south.

"Is this cause and effect?"

Niu Yi was stunned for a moment, then a hint of realization flashed in his eyes.

As his understanding of the theory of cause and effect hexagrams deepened, he became more and more adept at using cause and effect hexagram coins, and he also had a vague sense of many things.

Just as he is closely connected with the energy of his Jindou Mountain, they prosper and suffer together.

At this time, there must be someone with whom he has a deep karmic connection or something related to him approaching him.

Niu Yi took out a cause and effect coin from his arms, held it in his palm, closed his eyes slightly, and let the magic power flow.

With the help of the karma divination money and this sudden inspiration, Niu Yi knew that this way he could see the cause and effect related to himself.
In Niu Yi's mind, flashes of inspiration emerged, as if taking him across thousands of mountains and rivers to a stream in the forest.

At this time, a handsome young man in a white robe and brocade clothes was fighting with three swordsmen with a sword in his hand. The swords flashed and the cold light flashed everywhere. He was fighting one against three but was not at a disadvantage at all. The fight was hard to decide.

"Guo Le'an! Hand over the treasure that old ghost gave you! Your Guo family cannot get their hands on it!"

"Bah! A bunch of despicable sewer rats! How dare you speak nonsense here!"

The sword in Guo Le'an's hand suddenly became three times faster, and he swept the autumn leaves to force the three people back. He took the opportunity to sprinkle the large piece of lime from his sleeves on the three people, then used his lightness skills to retreat quickly and disappeared into the forest.

At the same time, Niu Yi's vision quickly shifted. He opened his eyes, stood on the hillside and looked towards the south with a smile on his lips.

"Guo Le'an, that's quite interesting."

Niu Yi knew in his heart that his sudden impulse was because of Guo Le'an, and the other party's goal should also be to find him. However, his supernatural powers were not yet perfect, so he could not calculate the deeper cause and effect relationship.

However, he could vaguely feel that Guo Le'an's appearance should be a good thing for him.

Guo Le'an looked somewhat familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere before.
Niu Yi thought for a moment, took out the other two cause and effect coins in his arms, used his magic power to throw the three cause and effect coins together, and then caught them in his hands.

"Guo Le'an, Guo Le'an, this is the first time I've read fortunes for someone else, so you better do your best."

"...Little villain."

"There are quite a few twists and turns on the road, and you'll encounter some dangers. Although there are bloody disasters, you'll be able to get through them safely."

"Well, I'll pick you up then and save you some physical pain."
