Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain
Chapter 98: Precious Leaf Tea and the End of Life
Chapter 98: Precious Leaf Tea and the End of Life
As soon as the three land gods entered the top of the mountain, they smelled the tempting and refreshing fragrance of tangerines. They did not hesitate to exchange greetings with Niu Yi and the land god of Jindou Mountain, then peeled the tangerine peel and began to enjoy it.
But Yao Qing'er was a little hesitant. She could feel the rich spiritual energy contained in this spiritual tangerine. Eating it must have great benefits. This spiritual tangerine must have been carefully cultivated by someone.
Niu Yi did not invite her this time, and she came here because she needed help from him. If she ate the rare spiritual oranges from him again, it would be a bit...
Niu Yi saw this scene, but smiled at Yao Qing'er and said:
"Miss Qing'er, please don't be polite. Not to mention that Miss Qing'er and I have known each other for many years, and your presence today has added a lot of color to Jindou Mountain, and I am also very happy."
Yao Qing'er was stunned when she heard this, then she smiled as brightly as a flower and began to peel the nine-leaf tangerine in front of her.
The Land God of Falling Cherry Valley smiled slightly at this scene, then swallowed the orange slices in his mouth, feeling the orange fragrance and spiritual energy in his mouth, and couldn't help but exclaimed:
"This Nine-Leaf Treasure Mandarin Orange is truly incredibly sweet and leaves a lasting aftertaste~"
"Yes, I think such a precious orange must have been carefully cultivated by Chief Niu Yi. Chief Niu Yi's ability to cultivate spiritual root fruit trees is really amazing."
Niu Yi couldn't help but smile when he heard the praises of these people. He just stretched out his hand and the mud seals of the jars of wine on the table flew out and fell to the ground beside him. The three kinds of rich wine aroma mixed together, which made everyone present's eyes brighten.
"Ladies and gentlemen, these three kinds of spiritual wine are Peach Blossom Wine, Hundred Fruit Wine, and Orange Leaf Wine. Most of them are brewed with spiritual fruits from this mountain. Please taste them one by one."
"Okay, okay~ Since it was brewed by Chief Niu Yi, I must taste it carefully~"
With the arrival of the three land gods and Yao Qing'er, bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time on the top of Jindou Mountain, which was shrouded in spiritual mist.
During this period, Na Yaoqing'er also performed a cherry blossom dance, which won everyone's praise and made the atmosphere more lively.
For a moment, everyone was having a great time, and it was quite lively.
The banquet lasted until the evening, and everyone left one after another. The land god of Luoying Valley and Yao Qing'er were the last to leave.
But Yao Qing'er held the wooden box in her arms, bowed deeply to Niu Yi, and then walked down the mountain with the land god of Luoying Valley.
Niu Yi, however, was holding a wooden box and watching the scene with the God of Land of Jindou Mountain, smiling.
He explained to Yao Qing'er several key points about breaking through to the demon general realm, and gave her three pillars of emerald agarwood incense. With this help, plus Yao Qing'er's years of accumulation, the chances of this breakthrough will definitely be greatly increased.
The land of Luoying Valley did not let him suffer any loss, and was exchanged for three spiritual tea tree seeds.
The land of Luoying Valley actually offered some other things, but Niu Yi only took a fancy to these three spiritual tea tree species.
[Precious Leaf Tea Tree Spiritual Seed (Blue): This precious leaf tea tree's spiritual seed requires watering with spiritual spring water to thrive. This tea has a mellow taste, bitter yet slightly sweet. It is rich in spiritual energy and may also be beneficial for spiritual practice.]
Niu Yi opened the wooden box and looked at the three spiritual tea tree seeds inside.
Niu Yi waved his hand, and the three spiritual tea tree seeds flew out of the wooden box and landed on an open space beside the peach forest. Three pits quickly appeared on the ground, swallowing the three spiritual tea tree seeds and then quickly closed.
But Niu Yi casually drew the spiritual spring from the well, causing the spiritual spring to split into three streams in mid-air and fall into the three places where the spiritual seeds of the spiritual tea trees were planted.
Feeling the vitality emanating from the ground and the precious tea tree spirit seeds that had begun to respond, Niu Yi couldn't help but smile and calculate with his hands.
"I think in another three years, this precious tea tree will be fully grown."
The Earth God of Jindou Mountain stroked his beard as he watched this scene. He looked at the scenery around him with a dazed expression.
In a blink of an eye, Niu Yi has been in Jindou Mountain for more than fifty years, and he and Niu Yi have been neighbors for more than fifty years.
I only wish that this scene would last forever.
After the Jindou Mountain Banquet ended, Niu Yi continued to practice with great concentration.
Calculating the time, there are still fifty-four years before the thunder tribulation falls. This time can be long or short, but it should be enough for him to cultivate to the peak of the demon commander realm and completely refine the star chessboard.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another six years have passed.
Niu Yi, who was refining the Star Chessboard on the top of Jindou Mountain, suddenly felt that a causal line connected to himself was trembling slightly, causing him to open his eyes.
"To the east, this is the Liu family's causal line."
Niu Yi sensed the information coming from the causal line, a flash of realization passed through his eyes, and then he said with some emotion:
"That Liu Gui is now one hundred and one years old. He has reached the end of his natural life span and has passed away."
Niu Yi slowly stood up, intending to see him off for the last time.
"father----"
In Shangtang Village, at the Liu family's residence, the entire house was crowded with people. In the main hall, Liu Dahu, with his gray hair and wrinkled face, was clutching Liu Gui's withered hand, wailing like a child. Bai Guiqin, also with her hair gleaming white, was kneeling beside him, sobbing softly.
Not far from the two of them, Wu Tie and Wu Yang, a father and son who had just arrived, were also standing there with red eyes. Wu Tie pulled Wu Yang to kneel down and kowtowed several times to the old man who was lying on the bed and had already died.
It was Uncle Liu Gui who saved the entire Shangtang Village and his family back then. Over the years, his family has kept this kindness deep in their hearts, and he has also regarded Uncle Liu Gui as his father.
Liu Dongchen and Liu Qiaoqiao both left with the immortals one after another to seek advice from them. Liu Dahu and Bai Guiqin were also old, so it was his son Wu Yang who often ran back and forth to take care of the two families.
Although Uncle Liu Gui died of old age without any illness or disaster, how can they not be sad?
"Why are you crying?! You're already so old! And you're still acting like a child! How disgraceful!"
In a place that these four people could not see, Liu Gui's ghost was floating not far away, looking at the four people who were crying bitterly. Although he was lecturing them, his eyes were full of relief.
His wife died early in his life, but he and his wife always lived in harmony when she was alive. His son and daughter-in-law were also very filial to him. He also received the help of the Lord of Heaven who came to save the suffering and the Taoist Master Jin Lingzi in his dreams, which helped him avoid all kinds of disasters and he lived to the age of 101 without any illness or disaster.
Now, his grandson and granddaughter, no one knew what good fortune his Liu family had, but they were chosen by the immortals one after another to seek immortality and the way.
After all, Liu Gui’s life was not lived in vain!
"Village Chief Liu Gui, your life span has come to an end. Please come with us to the underworld."
Hearing the voice, Liu Gui couldn't help but turn his head and look outside the village. He seemed to understand something, and finally looked at his son and daughter-in-law who were kneeling in front of the bed and crying. Although he was still reluctant, he finally sighed and floated out of the house.
Liu Gui's figure was reflected through the wall on the familiar faces of the villagers from Shangtang Village who were surrounding him. His life flashed before his eyes like a kaleidoscope.
Liu Gui kept walking forward in a daze, but this road would eventually come to an end.
"Village Chief Liu Gui, please leave with us."
But there were more than ten ghost messengers standing in front of Liu Gui. The ghost messenger in the lead had a relaxed expression and was bowing to Liu Gui. It was this ghost messenger who had just spoken to Liu Gui.
To the Yinchai, the person before him could be said to be a person of great fortune, and such a person naturally had to be treated with great courtesy.
Liu Gui was still a little dazed when he came back to his senses. Although these ghost messengers seemed very polite, he still hurriedly bowed and said:
"Thank you for your kindness, I will trouble you, the ghost messengers, to lead the way."
Liu Gui has always been able to see things clearly throughout his life. Since his life span has ended and he is dead, there is no going back. Although he feels sad and reluctant in his heart, hasn't he been mentally prepared for this over the years?
He just missed his grandchildren a little bit, and for the rest of his life, he was content.
The leader of the Yincha's expression softened a lot, and he pointed behind him.
"Village Chief Liu Gui, please!"
Liu Gui nodded and followed the ghost messengers away until he and many ghost messengers reached the outside of Shangtang Village. Liu Gui stopped and bowed to the statue of the Earth God.
When he looked up, he was surprised to find that an old man in official clothes and holding a wooden stick was smiling and nodding at him, which made Liu Gui stunned.
"Village Chief Liu Gui?"
When Liu Gui heard the voice beside his ear, he couldn't help but turn his head back. When he looked again, there was no figure of the old man in official clothes.
"I'm sorry, my Lords, let's go."
Liu Gui once again bowed gratefully towards the statue of the Earth God, thanking him for the magic circle and talismans. He then took one last look at Shangtang Village, imprinted this scene in his mind, and turned around to follow the ghost messengers.
Just as the group was leaving Shangtang Village and hurrying on their way, Liu Gui suddenly discovered that many of the ghost messengers in front of him had stopped.
"Chang Immortal!"
Hearing the respectful voices of the many Yin messengers, Liu Gui couldn't help but look in surprise, only to see a young man in a green robe with an ethereal temperament standing in front of the many Yin messengers, looking at him.
"Village Chief Liu Gui, it has been over twenty years since we last met, and I have come to see you off."
Hearing the young man's clear voice and looking at his handsome face with a gentle smile, Liu Gui had clearly never seen this person before, but he felt inexplicably familiar with him. He saw the young man's face change, and a figure that was extremely familiar to him and imprinted deep in his mind suddenly appeared before him.
"Master Jin Jin Lingzi?!"
