Chapter 111 Lu Suzhen, the Taoist Master on Mount Qingcheng
With a thud of its legs against the white horse's belly, the trained horse immediately understood what was happening. It spurred its four hooves and galloped off into the distance.
Watching Helian Yun Shen disappear from sight, Lei Meng Sha and his group returned to the city at this time, and the once lively city gate returned to its original state.
All that remained were ordinary people and merchants!
…………
Leaving Tianqi City, Helian Yun Shen quietly proceeded in one direction, appreciating the scenery along the way. This appreciation brought Helian Yun Shen an unprecedented sense of peace.
Beneath the tranquility
It seems that I have gained some new insights, but these insights have not yet been able to coalesce into a complete form.
"It's been a month since I left Tianqi City. The scenery along the way was indeed quite beautiful and made me feel very comfortable. It's just a bit boring!"
Helian Yun, sitting on horseback, was deeply moved and made these remarks.
As he was speaking, a stone tablet came into Helian Yunshen's view, with the three characters "Qingcheng Mountain" clearly written on it.
Looking up at these three characters, you see a verdant mountain peak with pine trees. On this mountain peak sit some buildings, and judging from their appearance, they are Taoist structures.
"I remember that Wang Yixing, whom I met at Mingjian Villa, was from Qingcheng Mountain. I also heard that his master was very powerful, so powerful that it was unfathomable."
It would be nice to go up the mountain and pay a visit.
Unable to think of a place to go next, Helian Yun Shen decided to go up the mountain to visit Lu Suzhen, the Taoist master of Qingcheng Mountain. Perhaps talking with such a person could bring some new insights.
With this in mind, he dismounted and left his white horse at a farmer's house at the foot of Mount Qingcheng. Holding a folding fan and a jade flute, he followed the other people who came to Mount Qingcheng to offer incense up the mountain.
"This young man is really young!"
"Yes! It's so good to be young! Look at how powerful and agile he is, and I haven't seen him break a sweat in all this time."
The villagers, feeling tired from climbing the mountain, couldn't help but praise Helian Yun Shen, who walked with such swift and powerful strides.
These compliments reached Helian Yun Shen's ears, but he merely smiled and ignored them. If climbing a mountain could exhaust someone like him, a half-step Divine Realm cultivator, then his half-step Divine Realm cultivation was essentially useless.
Arriving at the gate of Qingcheng Mountain Taoist Temple
Before he even stepped into the Taoist temple, he saw two boys dressed as Taoist apprentices walking towards him. Just as he was wondering what was going on, he heard the two boys speak respectfully.
"Young Master Huanyin, our sect leader requests your presence!"
"Oh? Your sect leader foresaw my return?"
Hearing the words of the two young Daoist disciples, Helian Yun Shen was quite surprised. Lü Su Zhen could even predict his arrival; how exquisite his Daoist arts must be!
The two young Taoist disciples responded to Helian Yun Shen's question.
"Our sect leader only foresaw the arrival of distinguished guests, not the arrival of Young Master Huanyin. We only saw Young Master Huanyin arrive after we came here."
"Take me there!"
Regardless, Helian Yunshen was well aware that Lü Suzhen of Qingcheng Mountain possessed incredibly powerful Taoist magic, and his visit this time was indeed the right decision.
Led by two young Taoist disciples
Helian Yunshen soon arrived at the Taoist temple where Lü Suzhen was. When he entered the courtyard, he didn't pay much attention to the simple decorations inside.
He then stepped directly into the room.
Upon entering the room, one sees Lü Suzhen, who is comprehending Taoist principles and cultivating her character.
"Young Master Helian, my humble abode is rather modest. Please forgive me."
"Master Lü, you're too kind. I don't stand on ceremony."
Hearing his words, Helian Yun Shen waved his hand at Lü Su Zhen, indicating that he wasn't that particular. After saying that, he found a nice spot to sit down, and Lü Su Zhen exhaled a breath of stale air as Helian Yun Shen sat down.
He opened his eyes and looked at Helian Yun Shen, then stood up and sat down opposite Helian Yun Shen.
"What brings Young Master Helian to my Qingcheng Mountain?"
"While traveling the world, I happened to come to the foot of Mount Qingcheng. Thinking of Master Lü on the mountain, I thought I would come up and learn from him. I want to see if I can gain new insights and make new breakthroughs in battle."
Helian Yun Shen did not hide the purpose of his trip up the mountain.
He said it directly to Lü Suzhen, and Lü Suzhen couldn't hold back anymore after hearing it. She looked at Helian Yunshen.
Thinking to myself:
You've already reached the half-step Divine Travel realm, and you still want to break through? Don't you know how monstrous you are? When I was your age, there wasn't a monstrous talent like you!
"Young Master Helian's current strength is already very powerful. There are not many people in this world who can contend with Young Master Helian."
Moreover, I feel that Young Master Helian's breakthrough time is not very long, and he should calm down and properly hone his temperament.
Only by cultivating one's character can one reach new heights.
The implication was clear: I'm not going to fight you. You should stay here for a while and then leave. The world is vast; go find someone else to fight you!
Hearing Lü Suzhen's words, Helian Yunshen smiled slightly.
I didn't reject this contact; in my heart, I accepted it. If I accepted it and didn't fight, then naturally I needed to do something else.
"Master Lü, since we cannot spar, I wonder if I could ask you to perform a divination for me? After all, I have some troubles that I need to figure out, and I would also like to witness Master Lü's Taoist arts."
Unable to spar, Helian Yun Shen finally decided to have his fortune told. He wanted to divine what he needed to know, and to untangle the tangled mess of things.
Listening to Helian Yunshen's words, Lü Suzhen sized him up. She raised her hand and made a few quick calculations with her fingers, then stroked her beard and spoke.
"Young Master Helian, you wish for me to divine matters concerning marriage, is that right?"
These words reached Helian Yun Shen's ears, causing him to pause. He hadn't expected that he hadn't even said anything yet.
Lü Suzhen already knew what she wanted to calculate.
As expected, this guy's Taoist magic is incredibly powerful!
"Master Lü, you truly live up to your reputation. I admire you very much."
While praising Lü Suzhen, Helian Yun Shen nodded to her. He then spoke again.
"As Master Lü said, what I wish to have divined is my marriage. I urge Master Lü to take this matter seriously!"
