Divine Palace Talisman
Wei Lihua first asked her two junior martial brothers to carry the unconscious Fu Yuqing to her master. Then, she raised her wrist and took out a jade whistle. She placed it by her lips and blew it lightly.
A clear cry of a crane came from the peak of the mountain. Two white cranes with black tails and crowns flew down. When they saw Wei Lihua, they were extremely happy. They spread their wings and legs, craned their necks and nodded their heads, and danced around her.
Wei Lihua smiled and said, "These two fellows are here to make fun of me again."
Zhang Yan took a few glances at them and smiled as well. "Are these the spirit birds that Fellow Daoist is raising?"
Wei Lihua nodded lightly and said, "Founding Master was originally a disciple of Nanhua Sect. Our Mystic Spirit Mountain's disciples are of the same lineage. We all like to raise spirit birds and strange beasts. Now that our Clear Feather Sect is about to be established, even though we haven't set any rules, there are still many taboos. These spirit cranes have been living in the mountain for a long time, so they know where they can go and where they can't. That's why I called them over for Fellow Daoist to ride on. "
After that, she chose one of the spirit cranes and rode on it. She waved her hand and said, "Fellow Daoist, please follow me."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist, please wait for a moment."
He made a hand seal and sent a voice note into the sea boat. Only then did he get on the crane's back. He felt that the feathers were soft as if he was sitting on a soft cushion. The spirit crane below him said with a clear female voice, "Fellow Daoist, please sit tight."
Seeing that the crane could speak even before it transformed, Zhang Yan was slightly surprised. He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, feel free to show me what you're capable of."
The spirit crane let out a clear cry and took a few steps forward. It flapped its wings and soared into the sky. With a few flaps of its wings, it arrived above the clouds.
Wei Lihua also rode on the crane and flew side by side with Zhang Yan. She patted the spirit crane beneath her and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you wondering why they can speak?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "This must be a secret technique passed down in your sect, but I'm curious. Since your sect has such a technique, and the Peng beside Fellow Guo is quite spirited, why don't I see it speaking?"
The crane beneath him suddenly said, "Dao brother, are you talking about Martial Uncle Guo's' Rattling Tongue '?"
Zhang Yan asked with interest, "Oh, do you know the reason?"
The crane laughed and said, "I don't know if Dao Brother asks about other things, but I do know about this matter. This old fellow has always had a loud voice and doesn't care about what he says. He often scolds the disciples until they are black and blue all over. Unfortunately, he is Martial Uncle Guo's mount and no one can do anything to him. Eventually, Martial Uncle Guo felt that he was too noisy and simply sealed his mouth so that he can't speak nonsense. Our ears were also much quieter."
At this point, it seemed to be taking pleasure in the Roc's misfortune. It must have suffered quite a bit from the Roc.
Wei Lihua pretended to be unhappy and said, "Xiao Yi, you seem to talk a lot too."
The spirit crane was shocked and said with grievance, "My dear wife, don't blame me. Xiao Yi is a taciturn gourd. There's usually no one to talk to here and it's really boring. That's why I can't help but say a few more words."
Wei Lihua smiled lightly and said, "The founding master is about to open the sect. In the future, when the sect grows stronger, it won't be restricted to this close land anymore. There will be a day when you can spread your wings and soar high."
The relationship between the spirit bird and its owner was one where the bird thrived and the owner suffered. If the owner's cultivation level was profound and he strived to improve, his status would naturally rise. If the owner was a ride master who didn't seek to improve, then he could only blame himself for being unlucky.
As Zhang Yan and Wei Lihua chatted happily, the spirit crane carried the two of them to a valley filled with lush greenery, birdsong, and the fragrance of flowers.
At this moment, a ray of light flew out from an octagonal pavilion on the opposite cliff. A round-faced woman in a green dress stepped on a beautiful flying handkerchief and approached them. She said in surprise, "Senior Martial Sister Wei, you've returned!"
She then looked at Zhang Yan with her bright eyes and said, "Which island is this senior martial brother from? I've never seen you before."
This woman looked to be around 27 or 28 years old. Her cheeks were bright red, her almond-shaped eyes were alluring, and her figure was enchanting like a ripe peach. Zhang Yan took a look and knew that she was a demon cultivator.
Wei Lihua hurriedly said, "Junior Martial Sister Fu, this is Fellow Daoist Zhang. He's a good friend of Martial Uncle Guo. He's also here to watch the ceremony."
Junior Martial Sister Fu smiled charmingly at Zhang Yan and bowed. "So it's Fellow Daoist Zhang's good friend. I'm Fu Hongyu. Greetings, Fellow Daoist Zhang."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and bowed his head in greeting.
Wei Lihua pointed at the woman and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, don't look down on Junior Martial Sister Fu. She's the head housekeeper of our Mystic Spirit Mountain."
Junior Martial Sister Fu laughed and her eyes were like crescent moons. She said, "What head housekeeper? I'm just running an errand on behalf of the elders and fellow disciples. Fellow Daoist Zhang, don't listen to Senior Martial Sister Wei's nonsense."
She went up and held Wei Lihua's arm affectionately. "Since senior martial sister has returned, why don't you stay here for a few days?"
Wei Lihua patted her arm and sighed. "I'd like that too. It's just that I've only just returned and Fellow Daoist Zhang's accommodation was personally arranged by Martial Uncle Guo. I haven't had the time to go back and see my master."
"Oh? That's a pity. " Junior Martial Sister Fu raised her eyebrows. She glanced at Zhang Yan and said, "Senior Martial Sister Wei, Senior Martial Brother Zhang, if that's the case, come with me."
She led the way and flew towards a mountain. But they hadn't taken a few steps when they saw waves of thunder rumbling and demon clouds roiling on another mountain, causing Zhang Yan to be unable to help but take a few more glances. Wei Lihua was surprised as well. "What's going on there?"
Junior Martial Sister Fu curled her lips and said, "Senior Martial Sister Wei, you don't know. Next month, when the Ancestral Master opens the sect, Fourth Martial Uncle invited many Demon Kings and Rogue Cultivators to attend the ceremony. These people are used to messing around and fight every other day. They must be fighting again. We don't have to pay attention to them."
She swung her waist and drove the flying handkerchief forward. In less than the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, she pushed down the cloud and landed in front of a cave abode. She turned around and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, what do you think of this place?"
Zhang Yan got off the spirit crane and stood still. He looked around and saw that this place was surrounded by green pines and cypresses. There was a pavilion that leaped out of the warm cliff, looking quite elegant. Below it was a gurgling stream, and further ahead was a magnificent waterfall. He nodded and said, "This place has a unique scenery. Junior Martial Sister Fu has chosen a good place."
Junior Martial Sister Fu said with a smile, "As long as Senior Martial Brother is satisfied."
However, Wei Lihua was still worried. She entered the Immortal's Cave and looked around. Although the decorations were clean and tidy, there was nothing else on the table other than a bronze cup and a long pearl on it. She couldn't help but frown. "Junior Martial Sister, why is this place so simple and crude?"
Junior Martial Sister Fu complained, "Senior Martial Sister, don't blame me for not being diligent. It's also Senior Martial Brother Zhang who came late. These good cave abodes have all been picked by those rogue cultivators and Monster Kings. Go outside and take a look, where else can compare to this cave abode?"
Zhang Yan also walked in. He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Wei, I think this place is very good. It's very quiet, so there's no need to be picky."
Junior Martial Sister Fu's face lit up, and she said in a sweet voice, "Senior Martial Brother Zhang is really considerate. You know my difficulties."
Seeing that Zhang Yan didn't have any objections, Wei Lihua didn't want to be nosy. She was also in a hurry to leave, so she said, "I still have to go see my master. I'll come and visit Fellow Daoist another day."
Zhang Yan cupped his hands and said, "Do as you please, Fellow Daoist."
Wei Lihua bowed to him, then leaped up and turned into a streak of light, disappearing into the sky.
Junior Martial Sister Fu saw that Wei Lihua had left, and she turned around and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, you can walk around freely when you're free, but you need to remember that the cave abodes of those Monster Kings are just beyond this mountain. You must not go there. Those Monster Kings are still proud of their status and won't bully others, but their juniors are just wild people who eat rotten meat and eat fish. They'll fight with others if they don't agree with you. If they get into a dispute with you and hurt the harmony between them, I'll be stuck in the middle. It'll be very difficult for me."
Zhang Yan smiled faintly and said, "If no one comes to provoke me, I won't meddle."
Junior Martial Sister Fu giggled and said, "I know Senior Martial Brother is a reasonable person. Senior Martial Brother is Senior Martial Sister Wei's honored guest, so you can be considered one of us. If there's anything else you want to tell me, I'll do my best to satisfy Senior Martial Brother."
Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "There's no need for Junior Martial Sister Fu to worry about the rest of the matters."
Junior Martial Sister Fu saw that Zhang Yan had the intention to chase her away, so she took out a talisman and said coquettishly, "If Senior Martial Brother has any orders, take this talisman and summon the old ape in the mountain. He'll be able to find me then."
Once she finished speaking, she handed the talisman over to Zhang Yan. After Zhang Yan took it, she didn't say anything else and took her leave. She threw the flying handkerchief into the air, twisted her waist, and got up. Then, she turned into a rainbow and returned to her Immortal's Cave.
Not long after, she landed in front of a temple with lush flowers and plants. She lifted the hem of her skirt and was about to step inside when she saw a figure flashing out from inside. She was so frightened that she covered her chest and took two steps back. She said, "Which dead ghost dares to scare this lady?"
A light chuckle came from the opposite side, and a tall and slender young cultivator with red lips and white teeth appeared. He smiled and said, "It's me. Did I disturb Junior Martial Sister?"
Junior Martial Sister Fu let out a sigh of relief and rolled her eyes at him. She said, "So it's Senior Martial Brother Feng. What's wrong? Are you here to ask for information again?"
The young cultivator smiled and said, "In front of Junior Martial Sister Fu, I naturally can't hide anything. I just passed by here and saw Senior Martial Sister Wei leading a Fellow Daoist past in a hurry. May I know what that Fellow Daoist is doing here? I'll pay him a visit another day. "
Junior Martial Sister Fu said disdainfully, "Do you think I don't know what you're up to? I'm afraid you're worried that another person will come to compete with you for the Immortal Palace Talisman, right?"
The young Daoist chuckled and raised his hand to pass her a small bag. Fu Hongyu looked left and right and nimbly took the bag. She put it into her fragrance pouch and patted it twice before saying in a low voice, "I've also not found out about this person's background. I heard that he's a good friend of Senior Martial Uncle Guo."
The young Daoist made a sound of surprise and said, "Does Senior Martial Uncle Guo also want to join in?"
Fu Hongyu raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you mean? Why, only you are allowed to compete for the Immortal Palace Talisman, but others are not allowed to? "
The young Daoist smiled and said, "There are a total of 48 Talisman Talismans. Whether or not one can get it depends on fate. It doesn't matter if there's one more or one less person."
Fu Hongyu made a sound of "oh" and glared at him. She said, "Senior Martial Brother, you're quite open-minded, but do you really think so?"
Without waiting for the man to speak, she flicked her sleeves and said, "Forget it, I don't have the patience to find out about your shady business. Pretend I didn't say anything. But you must remember that this person was brought here by Senior Martial Sister Wei, so you have to give me some face. At least during the few days I'm on duty, you guys are not allowed to provoke him. "
The young Daoist's eyes darted around and he readily agreed, "Since Junior Martial Sister Fu has spoken, I'll naturally listen to you. But …" He chuckled and said, "Even if my Senior Martial Brothers don't go, I'm afraid there'll be people who can't help but weigh his weight."
