One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 155 154: Taboo

The night breeze from the mountains blew on my face, bringing with it a fragrance that came from the veil of the woman next to me brushing against my nose.

The swaying branches are in bud, exuding a faint fragrance that lingers in the night mist.

Ge Wenyun is naturally beautiful, probably because she has lived in the mountains for a long time, there is a kind of quiet and peaceful aura about her. Maybe it is because of her practice, or maybe she is influenced by her master, there is a kind of deep emotion in her eyes.

The two walked side by side. Zhao Fuyun walked with his hands behind his back and didn't say much, while she walked lightly and talked constantly. She looked at Zhao Fuyun from time to time, and her eyes seemed to be dripping with dew and containing starlight.

Zhao Fuyun also felt very relaxed at this moment.

The two walked around on the mountain path for a long time, and when they returned to their residence, it was almost dawn, but they were not tired at all.

It was rare for Zhao Fuyun to meet such a talkative person, who also spoke in a pleasant voice. The person always asked Zhao Fuyun about the things he encountered while traveling around the world. After he briefly recounted the story, the person would exclaim in admiration.

After returning to his residence, Zhao Fuyun meditated for a while, and it was already bright.

Before he could go out, someone fetched water for him to wash, and then Ge Wenyun brought him a set of clothes, as well as a hair crown, belt, boots, etc.

There are not only outer clothes, but also shirts, underwear, etc.

"Junior brother, these are the clothes that Master prepared for you." Ge Wenyun said with a smile, "Master said that you should be like Uncle Xun, accustomed to pure cultivation and not attached to external things. But after arriving at Mount Li, you can no longer be so frugal."

Zhao Fuyun looked at the clothes he was wearing. It was an ordinary Taoist robe, but he had only worn it for about a month. Although it had a dusty smell, it was not rotten.

"Master said that she doesn't care what you wear elsewhere, but when you arrive at Mount Li, she, as your aunt, will not let you wear such ordinary clothes."

As Ge Wenyun was talking, he wanted to undress Zhao Fuyun, but Zhao Fuyun quickly refused. Ge Wenyun smiled and said, "Then change yourself, Junior Brother."

The other maids were also laughing. Sometimes, when there were too many of a certain type, they would naturally become bolder.

"Junior brother has such ability, but he wears so simply. Those young masters of noble families who don't have much ability, however, want to wear all the good things."

"Master said that she doesn't allow other noble families to have something that her nephew doesn't have." Ge Wenyun said as he stepped out and said, "Hurry up and change it. Master is waiting to see."

For some reason, Zhao Fuyun felt a little ashamed. He returned to the bedroom, changed his clothes and put on his boots. However, he couldn't put on his hair crown or some other accessories.

Ge Wenyun came in with two maids. They tied his hair and put a crown on him with a smile. He wore a light purple robe, a silver belt, a jade crown and jade hairpin on his head, silver auspicious cloud boots on his feet, and an auspicious dragon jade pendant hung on the belt. One side of the jade pendant was engraved with a dragon head, and the other side was engraved with auspicious clouds that looked like a dragon's body. Faintly, he felt a sense of cloud restraint and dragon power, which had the magic to ward off evil spirits and exorcise demons.

He reached out to touch the belt and found that it was not an ordinary belt, but a belt that could store items. He brushed his hand over the clothes on his body and felt that the clothes were soft, but also had a sense of drape.

He could clearly feel that it had the mysterious power to ward off dust, fire, water and wind.

After he put on the jade crown on his head, he could feel a coolness. In the coolness, it seemed as if an invisible canopy was propped up, with the runes connected in it, forming a mysterious feeling.

Zhao Fuyun only felt it roughly and found that this jade crown had the mysterious powers of binding qi, protecting the body with cloud-like impediments, and exorcising demons with a clear mind.

The boots on the feet represent walking on clouds, being light, stepping on the wind, and being tough.

There was also a badge that looked like an orchid. After wearing it, Zhao Fuyun felt a natural gathering of spiritual energy.

This set of vestments and accessories must be very expensive.

The maid next to him couldn't help but exclaimed: "The Taoist priest is so handsome, he is really a Taoist master in the mountains. If the Taoist priest goes to the royal city, the princess will definitely snatch him away."

"The color of this clothes really matches Junior Brother Fuyun's temperament. He has a noble air, and he looks elegant and otherworldly." Ge Wenyun said.

Zhao Fuyun looked at herself in the mirror and felt that she had never been so beautiful.

He used the word "beautiful" to describe himself because he felt that his clothes were a little too gorgeous.

Moreover, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is this the dressing taste of the people in this area?

He looked at himself in the mirror, who seemed a little unfamiliar, and listened to the compliments from the people around him, so he didn't say anything.

Then he went to see his master Jin Xiuzhi, and talked about the "Tianfu Collection". He had decided to participate last night, so he formally proposed it.

Jin Xiuzhi was naturally very happy, and seemed to have great trust in Zhao Fuyun's magic skills. She said, "Originally, a young master of the Jinjian Zhong family said that he wanted to go in with Wenyun and the others. The ancestor of the Zhong family even came to me personally to talk about it, but I never agreed. Since you have decided to go in, I will write a letter to reject the Jinjian Zhong family."

"Well, will it make Master-aunt embarrassed?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

"It's not difficult. Although the Zhong family has been prosperous in recent years, and many foundation-building people have emerged. The prince is even known as the Divine Beauty of Zhong Jinjian, the essence of thousands. But I think no matter who it is, they can't compare to Taoist Fuyun of Tiandu Mountain, right?"

"Master, you're making fun of me." Zhao Fuyun was a little embarrassed.

But he saw that his master Jin Xiuzhi seemed to be saying this sincerely and seriously.

"When Sister Lan Yin faced that group of young masters from aristocratic families, she said that they were all a bunch of beautifully dressed men with no real skills. It was Sister's ability that made me become discerning. Alas!"

For some reason, Zhao Fuyun suddenly thought of a sentence: "Once you meet Lan Yin, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

In this way, he settled down in Mount Li, practicing and cultivating, learning "Taixu Lingwen" from memory, and appreciating each spiritual text one by one.

The next day, he saw someone coming into Hanxiu Peak from afar. It was an old man who came with a young man on the clouds and landed in the mountain. Not long after, he saw them leaving. However, they had smiles on their faces when they came, but were filled with anger when they left.

Ge Wenyun was making preparations before entering Tianfu.

She brought Zhao Fuyun a booklet, which listed the taboos after entering Tianfu.

Three days later, everyone arrived at the foot of Lilong Peak.

Zhao Fuyun has been practicing in the house these days. In his spare time, he would enjoy the scenery and flowers, or taste the magical tea from the mountains. While practicing, he would also eat the spiritual energy of boiled stones, and fumigate himself with the fragrance that had a calming effect.

He felt as if his whole body was light and airy, as if the air he exhaled was fragrant.

"It smells a bit too good." This is how he feels about himself.

However, when he arrived at the foot of Lilong Peak and saw the other male monks, he felt relieved because they were also dressed in gorgeous clothes and seemed to be smelling perfume.

He was sure that it was due to the local culture.

However, he found that everyone seemed to be quite curious about him, and one of the monks was full of hostility towards him.

After a closer look, he found that it was the young man who left Hanxiu Peak that day. He guessed that the other party was the Zhong family's eldest son, known as the Zhong Jinjian's Shenxiu, who gathered thousands of elites in one. Zhao Fuyun just took a look at him and didn't look at him much. Hanxiu Peak rejected him, but he was able to join in. It can be said that he has some ability, or his family is very capable.

Among the other people, the only one he recognized was the one he met a few days ago, who was standing with Senior Sister Wen Qi from Hongrui Peak, and Li Shiping from Qingxi Valley. He was holding an unfolded golden fan in his hand, with cloud patterns tangled together on the leaves, like continuous clouds and mountains.

The others didn't know him or have ever seen him before, and Ge Wenyun didn't seem to have any intention of introducing Zhao Fuyun to them.

Zhao Fuyun thought that it might be because his identity as a disciple of Tiandu Mountain was a little sensitive at the moment, or there might be other reasons.

Maybe they had already discussed it, or had already set the rules, so they didn't say much here.

Zhao Fuyun saw Master Jin Xiuzhi arriving with three female monks. Among them, the elegant-looking old lady spoke.

"Wenxi, you are the eldest sister. After you go in, you must be careful not to have any disputes. You sisters and brothers are all disciples in the mountain. You all know the taboos of entering the Tianfu. You must tell your companions. My fellow princes, please do not barge in recklessly. The Tianfu changes all the time. If you are trapped in it, it will be difficult to rescue."

The person who spoke was obviously the master of Mount Li, and he was making his final arrangements.

Then everyone recited the spell silently together and emitted a beam of light. Four beams of light fell together and fell into a crack in the cliff. The crack emitted light and actually formed a long and narrow portal. Faintly, one could feel a special aura emanating from it.

"Go ahead and be careful."

Everyone jumped up and went into the crack of the cliff.

Zhao Fuyun didn't know whether his body was shrinking or the crack was expanding. The crack, which looked very small from below, became huge as he got closer, as if the sky was cracking.

There was a flash of light in his eyes, and then the light quickly turned dim. He found himself in a world shrouded in fog.

What hits your face is humidity and mist as vague as dust.

He couldn't see or feel how big this place was. He even had the illusion that the space was upside down after entering.

Everyone was on the ground. Zhao Fuyun looked up at the entrance behind him but could not see it. It seemed that it had never appeared.

He knew that only when the time came would people outside open the door again.

"Fellow junior sisters, collect according to the plan." The speaker was the senior sister who was previously called Wenxi.

The four peaks of Mount Li spread out in four directions.

Zhao Fuyun followed behind Wen Yun. He read the taboos in the booklet. Before coming in, he felt that all the taboos were very strange. But after coming in, he felt that no matter how strange they were, they were normal. In this fog, there was a strange breath, and he felt a faint sense of foreboding.

"Brother Fuyun, follow me. This should be the east. There is a kind of white silk that grows in abundance. We can collect it and make it into incense. It has the effect of calming the soul and nourishing the mind after burning it."

"Also, junior brother, you must pay attention to the taboos and never offend them." Ge Wenyun said.

Zhao Fuyun discovered that Ge Wenyun, who had come in here, was no longer as enthusiastic as he was outside, but was more cautious.

The robes and accessories on her body emitted a faint Dharma light, enveloping her body.

In the fog, Zhao Fuyun opened his mouth and spit out a streak of fire that fell into his palm and condensed into a lamp.

He knew that there were some dangers that could only be revealed by light, and his goal was to protect Ge Wenyun in collecting various treasures.

He followed Ge Wenyun, walking forward with a lamp in his hand.

Soon, an abandoned small temple appeared in his eyes. There was a plaque hanging crookedly on the abandoned temple. When he saw it, he had an idea that he couldn't help but read out loud.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he suppressed the impulse.

"Junior brother." Ge Wenyun turned around and looked at Zhao Fuyun solemnly. She shook her head and said, "I know that Junior brother must have his own magic and will go to see the plaque, but after reading it, he will want to read it out loud. Junior brother, please don't put yourself in danger like this again."

Zhao Fuyun nodded and said, "I saved it, Senior Sister."

The booklet says that the words on the plaques of all the palaces and temples cannot be read out loud. If you read them out loud, you will fall into an unpredictable illusion.

The booklet says that it is best not to read it, because once you read it, you will want to recite it, and the more you read it, the stronger that desire will be. If you read it every time you see it, the urge to recite will become stronger and stronger, and you will eventually be unable to suppress the growing desire in your heart.

Zhao Fuyun knew all this, and he really wanted to experience the feeling of having strange thoughts suddenly arise in his heart.

But seeing how cautious Ge Wenyun was, he still felt that he'd better not try it.

"Hey, this place is covered with spider silk." Ge Wenyun said in surprise.

The fact that Ge Wenyun was surprised meant that there was no one here before. Although this was Ge Wenyun's first time here, she must have internal information and knew what was here.

Ge Wenyun stood in front of a small temple, but did not go in rashly. It was dark inside. Zhao Fuyun raised his finger and ignited the red flame light in his hand. A ray of fire floated up and turned into a firebird that flew into the small temple.

Most of this small temple has collapsed and is buried. Only a small part is still intact, and the spider silk covers the entire temple.

The firebird flew in the small hall avoiding the spider silk without touching any of it. Ge Wenyun couldn't help but sigh. With this exquisite fire-controlling technique, no one within a thousand miles of Mount Li and below the Purple Mansion could do it.

As for the Purple Palace, she couldn't guess.

Suddenly, the firebird stopped in a corner, and then a flash of fire appeared on its body. Then she saw a black spider lying on the half-broken head of the statue.

It was illuminated by the fire, revealing its hidden body and illusion.

She had never seen the black spider before. If it weren't for the flash of fire, she wouldn't have been able to see it at all.

The spider was lying on the half-head of the statue, as if trying to complete the head.

What she saw before was that the head of the statue was intact.

"Junior brother, please pay attention to the taboos when casting spells." She knew that many people needed to use their hands to guide their thoughts when casting spells, and she did the same.

Therefore, when casting spells, one often points the finger at the enemy, but there is one taboo in Tianfu.

"You can't point your finger at the statue."
