I became an immortal in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 92 lured a dragon out of its lair
The middle-aged man, Qingyun, also sensed something subtly different. The feeling was somewhat familiar, and he hesitated.

Master Jiwei savored it:
"Just now I sensed that a guest had arrived."

"Which one?"

"I don't know yet, come with me and take a look."

The two went outside, and there were two junior disciples, Sanshui and Chuyi, wielding iron swords and sparring with each other, their movements creating a whirlwind, and the vegetation on the mountaintop suffered quite a bit of damage.

Upon seeing their grandmaster and master emerge, the two quickly hid their swords behind their backs and respectfully bowed.

Master Jiwei looked up and his gaze fell on the fallen flowers and leaves scattered on the ground.

Looking at the two children, who were cowering and hiding iron swords in their clothes, he chuckled to himself.

The middle-aged man, Qingyunzi, scolded:

"They even want to cut down the flowers here, Master! They have no manners!"

Sanshui hung his head dejectedly, thinking that the two of them would be scolded for an hour or two as before, and then punished by copying books or kneeling incense. Unexpectedly, the master only scolded them once, as if he had something to do.

They went far away with their master.

The two children breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had been granted a pardon.

Sanshui clutched the iron sword to his chest like a precious treasure; it was something they had secretly taken from their master's storeroom, and it was no easy feat. The grass and trees trembled, and the two gazed into the distance in the direction their master had departed.

"That is……"

Chu Yi pondered, "It seems to be the place where the elders lived."

Sanshui Strange:
"It's already dark, what are Grandmaster and Master doing at the senior's place?"

She and Chu Yi looked at each other.

You push my shoulder, I bump your arm.

Sanshui's eyes sparkled, and she whispered in Chuyi's ear, "Why don't we go take a look?"

Chu Yi nodded in agreement. They hadn't seen the cat for several days, and the paper cat probably missed its friend too. Senior Jiang was truly amazing; although he didn't know the art of flying, he wasn't even proficient in their lightness techniques.

But it knows so many things.

They can blow a piece of paper into the shape of a living cat.

The two men stealthily descended the mountain like thieves. They had nowhere to put the iron sword, and they were reluctant to let go of it. Sanshui fumbled around for a while, then found a piece of cloth and wrapped the sword in it.

……

……

Jiang She sat atop the mountain, gazing at the sea of ​​clouds under the moonlight.

The wind is clear and the moon is bright.

A crescent moon hung in the sky, shining silvery light through the clouds. Something could be vaguely seen floating within it. It must be the fish that Old Deer Mountain God and Yuan Danqiu hadn't been able to catch these past few days.

I don't know if it will taste good.

The fishing rod was placed aside.

Ao Bai picked up his wine cup and looked at the blue spirit wine inside. Just one whiff of it revealed its vibrant life force, which was extremely pure.

Even the shadows of the trees on the mountain were swaying and flickering.

It seems to be in harmony with it.

The vibrant life he sensed from that fleeting downpour in Chang'an even reached all the way to Wei County.

It was just a tiny drop.

"Mr. Jiang, this..."

Ao Bai hesitated for a moment, his gaze fixed on the wine cup with a mixture of greed and reluctance.

Only then did he realize the immense benefit he had received. He carefully held the wine cup with both hands, afraid of spilling it. In the past, this amount of wine wouldn't even be enough to rinse his mouth, but now he was afraid that a gust of wind would blow it away.

"Why does the Water Lord hesitate?"

Jiang She laughed and said, "You gave me a meal, and I'll give you a cup of wine. Isn't that perfect?"

Although Mizuki ate almost all of his meals by himself.

This dragon also loves to eat sweets and drink sweet wine and cheese; I wonder if its teeth are still okay.

The wine was poured out, and a small portion of it dissipated, drifting and floating in the wind. The pure and ethereal atmosphere of this place, like a dream, filled the mountains.

In just a short while, even the grass and trees on the mountain became greener.

As the group was talking, the old deer mountain god, holding a wine cup, suddenly sensed something amiss.

He looked down.

Two people gradually approached from the end of the mountain path.

Master Jiwei and Master Qingyun reached the mountaintop. To their astonishment, they discovered that this world was vastly different. This azure energy…

At the mountaintop, one could only see people drinking and fishing.

A gentle breeze and a bright moon; layers of clouds rise and fall.

Master Jiwei's gaze fell on the unfamiliar face. He cupped his hands and smiled, "I wondered why the vitality was so strong, it turns out you are entertaining guests."

Jiang She raised his cup, with the bright moon behind him, and invited:
"You two have arrived at just the right time, why don't you join us for a drink?"

The two readily agreed.

Yuan Danqiu moved aside, giving up his fishing spot and shifting his fishing rod slightly to make room for Yun Mengshan and the other person.

Master Jiwei gazed at the surging sea of ​​clouds under the moonlight.

Thinking of his disciple who died young, he sighed inwardly and smiled slightly, saying, "This place is secluded and the scenery is beautiful. You are enjoying yourself."

"They're just good at shirking their responsibilities and avoiding work."

Jiang She said:
"The sect leader has seen the sights of the past three hundred years, but this is the first time I've ever seen anything like it."

Master Jiwei felt a slight stirring in his heart upon hearing this.

Who exactly is this person? His origins, Taoist practices, and supernatural powers are all shrouded in mystery. He looked at Jiang She sitting on the cliff, his aura blending seamlessly with the heavens and earth. If he didn't actively reveal himself, he would truly appear to be a dignified mortal.

"Fellow Daoist was previously..."

“I used to live in the mountains. After being alone for a long time, the world around me became quieter and quieter, and my mind became more and more cluttered. I didn’t even want to look at the floating clouds.”

Jiang She spoke calmly.

In one sentence, he glossed over his various attempts and thoughts of going back over the past ten years.

Or perhaps it wasn't simply overlooked. Looking back, all the complex thoughts, subtle emotional journeys, regrets, and self-satisfactions of the past are now just memories. Only this statement truly captures that.

Qingyun sized up the man in white.

Although this person was dressed in white, the fabric was seamless, and his demeanor and expression were somewhat strange.

Who are you?

Ao Bai looked at him; he was still holding a wine cup in his hand, but he had already swallowed the wine in one gulp, leaving only the jade cup, which he held tightly and refused to put down.

His demeanor was completely different from when he was facing Jiang She, and he exuded a more arrogant and unruly air.

"I am the water god of the Wei River."

"Are you the masters of this mountain?"

Water god?

Even though Qingyun was a man of great experience and knowledge, he was speechless for a moment.

The person in front of me is actually the Water Lord of the Wei River.

The body of a dragon.

Master Jiwei was much calmer. Looking at the dragon, he asked unhurriedly, "I am the head of Yunmeng Mountain, and Fellow Daoist Jiang is a guest of Yunmeng Mountain."

What brings you here?

Ao Bai paused.

Remembering that there were other learned men around, he held the jade cup without answering.

Today, Li Bai followed his teacher down the mountain and witnessed how the dragon made its acquaintance with people. Now, however, it is so aggressive, displaying the air of a deity.

He said happily:
"Mizu-kun is here to ask for a drink."

The old deer mountain god smiled to himself. He was old and had seen many life and death, and had suffered a lot of hardships on his path to enlightenment. He was not as arrogant and domineering as the dragons in the water.

It was quite enjoyable to watch.

Ao Bai's imposing manner quickly dissipated. After all, it was someone else's territory, and as a guest, he had to save face for Mr. Jiang.

"Mr. Jiang's drinks are indeed excellent."

Ji Wei thought subconsciously.

What kind of fine wine could lure a dragon out of its lair?

The next moment, Master Jiwei and Master Qingyun had their answer.

Jiang She poured wine.

All life in the world seemed to surge upwards. All the creatures around them became docile and obedient, none daring to steal food. Only in the distance could two faint sounds of leaping up and climbing be heard.
