Chapter 213 A Second Visit to Longhu Mountain!
After listening to Wang Ye's explanation, Ma Long nodded, realizing that he couldn't really use this method himself.
If you want to seal the other party, you can simply use the Chaotic Golden Tuo to suppress them and then use the Sealing Talisman. Why waste your energy sealing the Qi Sea separately?
"Yes, you're right, I've got it."
At the very least, the methods we have are not yet fully developed, so we mustn't be impatient or agitated.
So the Qi Sea and the human body are separate? How interesting!
The group of seven rushed to Longhu Mountain at an extremely fast pace.
……
The Celestial Master's Mansion is located on the back of Longhu Mountain.
Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and most parts of the country are bustling with activity, except here.
The old master was holding a tablet and watching this year's new dramas with great interest.
This tablet was sent by his disciple Zhao Fuguo, because the Celestial Master's phone always ran out of battery while watching dramas.
After sweeping the snow out of the courtyard, disciple Rongshan tidied up some odds and ends, and finally sat down next to the old Celestial Master to recite the scriptures in his hands.
"The melodious sounds resonate, and all directions are purified..."
He was chanting scriptures on this side, while the old master was watching a drama on the other side. After pausing the drama by tapping the tablet with his hand, the old man looked at Rongshan and slowly said, "Rongshan!"
You don't need to read this scripture every day; just keep it in your heart.
"Go, go, go! Your master's giving you the day off. Go out and build a snowman!"
Rongshan put down the well-worn scripture in his hand and looked at the old master with an indifferent expression: "Master, I'm already over thirty years old."
I haven't liked building snowmen for a long time.
Lingyu stopped playing this game a couple of years ago.
The old celestial master stroked his long beard thoughtfully: "Oh, Lingyu has grown up!"
Time flies.
"I'm really getting old; I've forgotten some of the more obscure and less obvious passages of scripture in the last two years."
Rongshan continued indifferently, "Uh~ I heard Uncle Tian say before that you only memorize the scriptures that you approve of."
You haven't even read those peripheral articles.
The old master's face darkened: "Why do you have to bring up such a sore subject!"
"Go, go, go out and shovel snow!"
"Uh~ Master, I already swept it this morning."
"Has the gate of the mansion been swept?"
"Ok!"
"The back hall, the outer area?"
"They've all been scanned!"
"You go and boil a pot of water for your teacher, I'm thirsty."
Rongshan picked up a kettle from his feet: "Master, this is freshly boiled."
The whites of the old master's squinted eyes flashed, a mixture of helplessness and amusement in his expression: "Alright then!"
Lao Tian and Ling Yu are both not here.
We're short of players even for a simple game of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game). Ugh, so boring!
Those people at the company won't even let me go down the mountain for a stroll, sigh!
The old celestial master was feeling bored when he suddenly paused for a moment, then laughed and nodded with great satisfaction: "Hahaha!"
"Now I won't be bored anymore, Malone, you really weren't lying to me."
Rongshan stood up and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
Is it Ma Long?
"Yes, not only Ma Long, but Ling Yu and several other juniors have also come."
"Spiritual jade? That's impossible."
"He's so earnest; if you let him stay down the mountain for two years, why would he come back halfway through?"
The old master smiled and squinted his eyes: "You'll have to ask Ma Long about that."
Go and meet them for me; they've already reached the front of the mountain.
"Yes."
Rongshan accepted the order and went to greet everyone.
Ma Long, Wang Ye, Feng Baobao, Xia He, Chen Duo, Zhang Lingyu, and Liu Yanyan, a group of seven, were walking on the mountain path of Longhu Mountain.
Ma Long drove the route with ease, as if he were coming home, and he stood at the front, commenting on the scenery along the way.
Zhang Lingyu, who had grown up here since childhood, seemed a bit reserved.
"We'll be at the iron chain bridge soon. Once we cross the bridge, we'll be at the back of the mountain."
"Has all the snow on the back mountain been cleared away?"
Lingyu Zhenren, didn't you say that there were only the Old Celestial Master and Rongshan Zhenren on the back mountain?
"Are they that diligent?"
Faced with Ma Long's question, Zhang Lingyu shook her head: "Uh~ it's because Senior Brother Rongshan is so diligent."
My master would never shovel snow.
Don't be fooled by the fact that only my senior brother is serving our master on the back mountain; he can handle the job perfectly well on his own.
While Zhang Lingyu was still explaining, a burly Taoist priest in a long robe strode towards them.
He laughed heartily and said, "Lingyu, your senior brother only swept some snow."
It's nothing, I really didn't expect you to come back.
"My master was just talking about you."
"Senior brother, I am truly ashamed. I have only been down the mountain for a few months before I have returned."
Rong Shan continued to smile without saying a word, but looked at Ma Long beside him: "Palace Master Ma Long, how have you been!"
Ma Long smiled. Since the other party addressed him as Palace Master, he simply clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Thanks to the Daoist's good fortune, all is well."
"Haha, it's good that you're all well."
Our master is still waiting for you all; let's go see him quickly.
……
An old man was leisurely drinking tea in the pavilion on the back hill. His tablet had been put away, and he looked even more like a hermit.
Seeing the crowd bowing to him, he slowly said, "Little ones, you still remember to come and see me!"
Ma Long's eyes darted around as he pondered the meaning behind the old master's words. It was clear that these words were directed at Zhang Lingyu, but Zhang Lingyu was too embarrassed to say anything more.
At this point, Ma Long had to step forward. If Zhang Lingyu returned to the mountain as a disciple of the Celestial Master, it would be tantamount to violating the Celestial Master's agreement to send him down the mountain for two years of training.
Ma Long crossed his hands, made a Zi-Wu hand seal with his right hand, and respectfully bowed, saying, "Young man, Ma Long of the Salvation Palace."
We, along with our team, have come to extend our New Year's greetings to you. We apologize for the inconvenience and will be departing for a business trip to Zhejiang soon.
By saying this, Ma Long essentially placed Zhang Lingyu in the Salvation Palace, meaning that returning to Longhu Mountain for two days would be fine.
The old master smiled and nodded: "Okay."
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Please find a place to sit."
At that moment, heavy snow began to fall again on the back mountain, and Feng Baobao took Xia He and Chen Duo outside to build a snowman.
Wang Ye didn't sleep well last night because he participated in the operation to bury Wang Zhenqiu, so he found a corner to doze off.
Liu Yanyan also hid in a corner, while only Ma Long and Zhang Lingyu sat in front of the Old Master.
Ma Long didn't stand on ceremony. After filling the old master's cup with water, he poured one for himself and one for Zhang Lingyu.
The old celestial master looked at the two of them and asked calmly, "What progress have you made in your cultivation lately?"
Zhang Lingyu immediately bowed and replied earnestly, "Since leaving the mountain, I have never dared to stop cultivating, and both the Golden Light Mantra and the Yin Five Thunder Technique have steadily improved."
The old master nodded: "Sit down."
I trust you completely; I was asking about Malone just now.
Ma Long continued drinking tea as if nothing had happened, watching the scene of the master and apprentice reunited.
Upon suddenly hearing the old master mention himself, he immediately put down his teacup: "Uh... me?"
Of course, I also practiced day and night.
Although I employed various methods, I meticulously analyzed the key points and diligently practiced, resulting in my continued significant progress.
The old master laughed: "Good, keep up the good work."
Don't be complacent; there are many people better than you.
