Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 81: Baoji Nest in the Back Mountain

Lingtai state of mind, in the vegetable fields behind the Taoist temple.

The colorful rooster stood on the wooden stake of the vegetable garden fence, looking curiously at Niu Yi who was busy in the vegetable garden, and said in its hoarse but sharp voice:

"You have so many precious treasures piled up like mountains, why are you still growing these vegetables and fruits?"

In the lush green vegetable patch, Niu Yi picked the green cucumber from the cucumber rack in front of him and put it into the earthen basket beside him. He turned to look at the colorful chicken and smiled:

"You don't know this, but not all spiritual treasures taste good. Some spiritual treasures become delicious only when stir-fried with these ordinary vegetables and fruits."

After Niu Yi finished speaking, he picked up the basket and walked out of the vegetable garden.

"Let's go, don't you want to exchange for spiritual rice? I'll get it for you. It's time for dinner again."

Upon hearing this, the colorful chicken flapped its wings twice and followed Niu Yi towards the Taoist temple.

"I say, aren't you tired of sitting there reading every night?"

“Naturally~ It’s a pleasure to learn something new and interesting every day.”

"I don't understand what you're thinking, but for me, eating insect-rich rice every day is the real fun."

"."

After a while, in front of the Taoist temple's granary, Niu Yi placed fifteen buckets of spiritual rice in front of the five-colored chicken and collected the five five-colored spiritual eggs brought by the five-colored chicken.

However, the five-colored chicken did not fly away with the spiritual rice as usual. Instead, it looked at Niu Yi, opened and closed its beak, and said:
"You can come to the vegetable garden in the evening. Master Ji will take you to visit my house and broaden your horizons."

After the Five-Colored Treasure Chicken finished speaking, it flicked its colorful tail feathers behind it, and flew quickly into the sky with the fifteen buckets of spiritual rice, leaving here and heading towards the back mountain.

Niu Yi looked at the flying colorful chicken with some surprise.

This chicken brother of his has been secretive for decades, why did he change his temper today and invite him to be his guest?
However, he was indeed somewhat interested in this. He didn't know what the home of this colorful chicken looked like, and where the spiritual rice had gone.

Niu Yi smiled as he watched the colorful chicken fly away, picked up the basket and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

At night, after Niu Yi cleaned the Taoist temple, he did not go to the library as usual, but went to the vegetable garden as agreed.

As soon as he entered the vegetable garden, Niu Yi found the colorful chicken standing on a wooden stake waiting for him.

"You are really slow, come with me."

As the colorful chicken spoke, it flapped its wings quickly and flew towards the back mountain.

Niu Yi used his earth escape ability, and every time he took a step, he would appear beside the five-colored chicken. He followed the five-colored chicken as if strolling in the garden, and continued to go deeper into the back mountain.

However, the colorful rooster took Niu Yi through many twists and turns in the mountains and forests, and finally came to a remote place in the mountains.

As the colorful chicken stopped, it saw green vines and leaves in front of it, like a curtain, blocking the way, and the surrounding area was a lush bush forest.

The colorful chicken flapped its wings, and the green vines and leaves flew up, making way for the colorful chicken to fly over.

Niu Yi took a look at the green vine leaves, took a step forward, and entered it with the colorful chicken. His vision suddenly became clear.

Niu Yi looked at all this in astonishment. He saw a riot of flowers, gurgling mountain springs, and a towering tree at its center. The tree's roots were incredibly magical, as if they had been deliberately shaped into a large hollow. Inside this enormous hollow, five female five-colored roosters, each smaller than a cockscomb, were feeding on magical rice with three pups.

This old rooster.
Found five wives???

Niu Yi looked at the colorful chicken flying in the air beside him with great surprise. At this time, the colorful chicken had soft eyes as it looked at the scene in the tree hole.

I've never seen this old rooster look like this.
Niu Yi was stunned for a moment, then looked at the colorful chickens under the tree hole, feeling the peaceful and reassuring atmosphere, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Niu Yi was familiar with this feeling, just like when he was on his Golden Glove Mountain.

After a while, Niu Yi was sitting on the rock beside the mountain spring, and the three little colorful chickens were circling around Niu Yi's feet, looking up at him curiously from time to time.

Niu Yi looked at the towering trees beside him thoughtfully.

This massive tree, seemingly a hundred feet tall, hadn't been spotted by him when he was in the back mountain. Even now, he couldn't discern the details of this giant tree, and his treasure-hunting talent hadn't been activated. It was as if it were just an ordinary tree.
However, Lingtai's state of mind is extremely mysterious, so it is normal for such an existence to exist, just like the chicken brother next to him.

Niu Yi turned his head to look at the colorful chicken sitting beside him, who was looking at the three little chicks with a gentle gaze, and said:

"Come to think of it, I once asked Brother Ji why he appeared here, but he just shook his head. Now, could you please tell me in detail?"

The colorful chicken looked up at Niu Yi, but still shook its head, seeming a little confused.

"I don't know. I don't know where I came from. I only remember that when I woke up that day, I appeared in the mountain behind the Taoist temple. After I went down the mountain, I saw you busy in the vegetable garden."

Having said that, the Five-Colored Treasure Chicken pointed its wings at the five female Five-Colored Treasure Chickens and said:
"As for these, I've met them over the years while touring the back mountains. They admired Master Ji's heroic demeanor and voluntarily followed him. So, aren't they all very beautiful?"

Niu Yi looked at the old rooster with its neck raised high, looking proud, then glanced at the five female five-colored chickens in the tree hole and shook his head speechlessly.

This old rooster has been hiding for so many years. Could it be that they are just guarding against him and afraid that these colorful female chickens will look good?!

This guy really is judging by the standards of a cow!
Niu Yi looked at the three little colorful chickens at his feet. He waved his hand and his magic power surged out. He gently lifted up the three little chickens and floated them in front of him under their curious gaze.

Even though they were still young, the three chicks had grown beautiful colorful tail feathers. Although they were still very short, one could still see some of their future appearance. Moreover, these three little guys seemed to be very smart and were quite friendly to him.

Niu Yi suddenly remembered something. He turned to look at the Five-Colored Chicken and asked:
"Brother Chicken, you've been in this mountain for so long, have you ever seen other roosters?"

In this spiritual state of mind, he could hear the loud crowing of a rooster every morning. However, in the decades he had stayed in the Taoist temple, he had never seen any other rooster except this colorful rooster.

"Never seen it before."

Seeing this, Niu Yi had no choice but to give up and stop dwelling on the matter.

If I have another chance in the future, I will go and ask my senior brother in person.

At night, in the Liu family of Shangtang Village.

Bai Guiqin looked at her son, whose face had a faint blue spot, and felt distressed with a hint of resentment. While wiping it for him, she said:

"Kid, you've always been unwilling to play with Tiedan and the others, so why are you fighting with them again?"
