Chapter 1: First Encounter

Above the Cloud Treasure Hall, the Jade Emperor looked at the man kneeling on the ground, and asked sharply: "No, I ask you one last time, where did you hide Lianyun Zhu?" ”

The man who is not known for cultivation is the youngest martial artist in the Heavenly Court, not only has high martial arts, but also looks handsome, without a trace of the roughness and unruliness of a martial artist. The Jade Emperor has always valued it, and personally canonized him as the jade-faced god of war, giving him green jade armor and a dark iron spear. For a while, he was in the limelight, and even the eldest Taibai Shangxian treated him differently.

However, at this moment, the once proud green jade armor was stained with blood, the jade crown had been removed, and the long hair was scattered, covering the entire face. The spear, which had made countless meritorious deeds and was not defeated, was snatched away by the guards and thrown to the ground.

The Jade Emperor trembled with anger, and none of the immortals dared to step forward to dissuade him. Why did the former god of war end up in such a situation? The heavily guarded temple, how could the enshrined holy relics even the cloud beads disappear?

The reason for the matter has to start with Qingyun Town.

Qingyun Town is a small town in the western suburbs of Luoyang, and there is a mountain in its east, called Qingyun Mountain. It is said that there are many rocks and ancient trees in this Qingyun Mountain, and there are often spirits in it, eating human flesh and drinking human blood to practice. Ordinary people did not dare to approach, and in the long run, it became a barren mountain.

I don't know when, a small Taoist temple was built at the foot of Qingyun Mountain. A white-bearded old Taoist sits in the view, preaches the scriptures and talks about the Tao, and helps people through the calamity. After resolving several bizarre incidents in the town, it became famous, and Qingyun Temple became a well-known Taoist temple.

There is an unwritten rule in this Qingyun Temple, every person who burns incense and petitions must wash his hands with mountain spring water before lighting incense, so as to wash away the red dust and desires, and only when he is pure can he kneel down and worship. Therefore, every morning, the little Taoist priest Haoqing will set off from the back door, walk a stick of incense on foot, go to the only spring in Qingyun Mountain, and call the mountain spring for pilgrims to wash their hands. This is the task assigned by his master, and for more than ten years, Mao Qing has never dared to slack off.

Today, as usual, Mao Qing carried two huge wooden barrels and walked among the rocks like a fly. Flowers, birds, fish and insects are all waking up, and they are not afraid of people, and occasionally a few unknown birds stop on the shoulders of Mao Qing, open their tender yellow mouths, and sing a song. Causing a smile to bend his eyes, his steps became more and more steady. In the distance, I heard the sound of spring water, and I swallowed the water, and my throat seemed to have tasted the sweet mountain spring. A few sika deer flew out, breaking away the lush branches and leaves, and a pair of bright eyes were secretly looking over.

There are spirits in the mountains, and the master explained, "You can practice separately, so you don't have to bother." Although Mao Qing felt that the breath in the forest was abnormal today, he didn't pay attention. Even if there are occasional spirits that transform into human forms, there is a Qingyun view that blocks their way to the world.

The altitude of Qingyun Mountain is not high, but it is precipitous, and no one dares to come to Ping Japan. What's more, Qingyun Temple is built at the foot of the mountain, but this mountain spring is halfway up the mountain, Rao is a person with a heart, and he must not cross the Qingyun Temple to get water. Therefore, this sweet and clear spring water has become the exclusive thing of Qingyunguan. The spring was born on a cliff, and it was so smooth that it was impossible to climb. The spring is small, but it lasts all year round, forming a clear pool below, the water is unfathomably deep, and only a few round stones are piled up at the edges.

Hao Qing tied the hem of the navy blue robe around his waist, rolled up the sleeves with both hands, and then stood on the boulder in the water, bent down and pressed the two wooden barrels into the water. Listening to the sound of gurgling water, the mood is extremely pleasant. Wu squinted his eyes and enjoyed the sweet breath on his face, when suddenly the barrel in his hand sank, and he almost dragged him into the water.

Mao Qing hurriedly looked down into the water, and the spring water at the edge was crystal clear, and there were no foreign objects. Looking deeper, Wuduan felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at him inside. Mao Qing didn't think much about it, but thought that he copied the scriptures and books too late last night, and he hallucinated due to lack of sleep. Then he shook his head, looked at the full bucket, and lifted it up with all his might. At this moment, his feet suddenly slipped, and the already round stone was now as if it had been smeared with oil. Mao Qing lost his strength and fell straight into the water.

Although it was spring, the spring water was still cold and biting, and he struggled to swim towards the edge while holding on to the barrel in his hand. But in the deep pool, there seemed to be more hands, pulling his soaked robe and pulling it down. Mao Qing was shocked, he was originally a cultivator, and the only thought in his mind at the moment was that he had encountered some spirit.

Mao Qing shouted while struggling: "I don't care what you are, if you don't let go, don't blame me for being polite!" Ah~~ Hey, hey, you, don't take off my clothes, hey! You, let go! ”

Mao Qing dragged the barrel with both hands, and there was really no way to cast any spells. I only felt that a hand was climbing on my waist, and I got into it along the untied robe, and with a cold touch, it slowly moved up from my waist.

Surprised, he let go of the barrel in his hand and leaned into the water to lift the monster up. At that time, Mao Qing thought that no matter what kind of spirit he was, he would definitely not hurt him. I had to persuade him to practice alone. But the facts made Mao Qing lose his mind in an instant, the monster he thought he thought did not appear, and the one he rudely lifted from the water was actually a young girl with a smooth body.

His water-soaked eyes looked straight at him. With curiosity, amazement, and clarity like this mountain spring. The smooth touch, the startled Miqing immediately let go. The woman did not shy away from reaching out and encircling Mao Qing's neck, and her upturned little nose was only a finger away from Mao Qing.

Mao Qing's white face instantly turned red, and his usual mouth was dumb. Although he is a cultivator, he thinks that he has broken the root of red dust, and his heart has long been as calm as the sea. But that's just because, since I grew up in a Taoist temple, I have never experienced the relationship between men and women. Now, such a wonderful person, snuggled in his arms, is really a great test for him.

"You're human?" The woman tilted her head, and her sweet breath was close to the clear.

"I, I'm naturally human!" Mao Qing was a little ashamed, blushing and pulling the arm around his neck. The woman stared blankly at him, but did not stop. Ignoring the barrel that had floated to the middle of the pool, he swam to the shore in a hurry, grabbed the boulder and climbed up. When the whole body was away from the spring, he breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the boulder and gasped for breath.

"People? You're just like me, so I'm human, too? The woman followed ashore, her long seaweed-like hair hanging down to her waist, and her graceful body was not an inch, and she walked straight to Maoqing.

Mao Qing was shocked, covered his face and reprimanded: "Why are you so shameless, there is a difference between men and women, you, you quickly put on your clothes!" ”

The woman looked down at herself, but didn't see anything wrong. Hearing this question, he stepped forward, stretched out his little hand, and asked, "Clothes?" But that's what you're talking about? ”

Before Mao Qing could react, he felt that the belt around his waist had been removed. When he boarded, the whole robe was loosely draped on his body, and when the breeze blew, his entire chest was exposed.

"You, you pay me back!" Mao Qing covered his eyes and straightened his hand to reach it, but he didn't want the woman to be very close to him, this stretch of hand actually grabbed the woman, and he didn't know where he touched it, and the smooth touch surprised Mao Qing jumped up instantly, wrapped in a Taoist robe and ran away without looking back.

The woman was carrying a navy blue belt, looking innocently at the little Taoist priest who seemed to be fleeing, and giggled. She tilted her head and thought for a while, then raised her arm, tied her black hair high with the belt, and tied a knot on the top of her head, following the example of a little Taoist.

The woman looked down at the reflection of her long hair tied up in the spring water, and giggled happily, her crisp voice echoing in the valley, "I'm human, hehe, I'm human!" ”

At the same time, in the Heavenly Court Xuanguang Division, the little boy with his bun woke up in shock, looked at the huge Xuanguang Mirror, but found nothing abnormal, muttered, hugged his legs and fell asleep again. At this moment, a bright and smooth mirror surface, as dazzling as the scorching sun, disappeared without a trace in an instant.
