One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 419: Another Lecture

Afterwards, they stopped talking.

Perhaps it is because I have experienced a lot during my practice, and have seen a lot of life and death, so even if I meet someone again after a long separation, all I need to say is "I'm back" to release the emotions that have been building up in my heart for decades.

He later went to see Xun Lanyin, but only met Xun Lanyin's disciple Zhang Shiyuan.

In Zhao Fuyun's eyes, Zhang Shiyuan was a quiet-looking Taoist monk dressed in a dark blue Taoist robe.

The neither humble nor arrogant look in her eyes made Zhao Fuyun look at her a few more times.

This was the first time Zhang Shiyuan had met Zhao Fuyun. Of course she knew that there was a person named Zhao Fuyun in the mountain gate, because her mother Zhang Huigu had listened to Zhao Fuyun's lectures and respected him very much. In addition, her mother's most proud magic was fire magic, and she also refined a magic lamp.

This magic-refining lamp is in the cave. It serves as the center of the cave's restrictions and is also an excellent magic weapon for practicing and protecting oneself.

She also heard that this person also refined a precious lamp, which was mysterious and unfathomable, and had great power.

The lamp that my mother owned was made because she had seen the lamp of the Master Fuyun in front of her and was inspired by it.

She looked at Zhao Fuyun, who was wearing an orange robe, but she felt as if she was looking at an orange shadow. It was clearly in front of her eyes, but it seemed to have merged into the void, like an illusion that could disappear at any time, mysterious and unpredictable.

"When will Senior Sister Xun come back?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

"Master goes to the vast ocean at this time every year to absorb the ocean energy and refine treasures, and will return in about a month." Zhang Shiyuan said.

Zhao Fuyun nodded, looked at the small courtyard again, then turned and left.

After Zhang Shiyuan sent Zhao Fuyun out, he naturally passed the news of Zhao Fuyun's return to his mother who had settled in a cave in Liangjie Mountain.

When Zhao Fuyun returned to the Lihuo Palace, he slowly relaxed.

Returning from darkness to light is like returning from water to sunlight.

He sat on the altar in the Lihuo Palace, with a fire well in front of him. The flames inside leapt up because of his arrival, as if licking the filth and darkness that had stained his body.

The news of Zhao Fuyun's return slowly spread within Tiandu Mountain, and the first person to visit him was Jin Ling.

Jin Ling looked at the Lihuo Palace, then looked at Zhao Fuyun, and said, "Junior brother, do you use this Lihuo Palace as a place for cultivation, a reception room, and a rest room? Tomorrow I will call a few disciples from the upper courtyard to build a row of houses in front of the palace for you."

Zhao Fuyun thought about it and felt that it was true, so he nodded and agreed.

"This Lihuo Palace is really hot and dry. Junior brother, why don't you come with me to sit by the stream outside the palace for a while?"

Not far from the Fire Palace, there is a stream flowing through the stone wall, and there is a large bluestone next to it.

Zhao Fuyun did not object and came out with him. Jin Ling set out a set of tea sets and a stove, and took some spring water tea that flowed out of the stone wall next to them.

The two of them sat on the ground amidst the sound of the gentle stream.

"Junior brother has really been gone for many years." Jin Ling said.

"Yeah." Zhao Fuyun couldn't help but sigh.

"In the dark? Trapped?" Jin Ling asked.

"Yeah." Zhao Fuyun replied.

"I heard that if you are trapped in the dark for a long time, you will gradually become afraid of light and will not want to come out. Does Junior Brother Fuyun have this feeling?"

"I practice fire magic. As long as the true fire in my heart is not extinguished, this will not happen." Zhao Fuyun said.

Jin Ling looked at Zhao Fuyun and said, "You have changed a lot. You have become more distant. Forgive me for being frank. Although you were quiet and silent back then, I could still feel your vigor and energy. But now, you seem lonely."

She paused here and continued, "Darkness will eventually envelop people's consciousness and make their lives lose their color."

Zhao Fuyun was silent for a while, then said, "Indeed." At this time, Jin Ling boiled water and started to make tea. He poured a cup for each of them, then said, "Welcome back, Junior Brother. I hope the tea from Tiandu Mountain can bring you some warmth."

"Thank you for your concern, senior sister. The tea is delicious." Zhao Fuyun said.

"As long as it tastes good, I guess you won't leave anytime soon, right?" Jin Ling said.

"No." Zhao Fuyun said.

"Very good. We cultivators have a long lifespan, so we cannot go on adventures everywhere. We have to enjoy life. If we go on adventures everywhere, we will eventually fall into danger." Jin Ling warned.

Zhao Fuyun smiled and said, "Senior sister is right."

"Right, like this, smile more, that's great."

After that, Jin Ling didn't stay long. She took the tea set and left.

But before leaving, he pointed to this place and said that a pavilion could be built here to listen to the spring and drink tea.

Zhao Fuyun agreed with this point. He suddenly felt that the sound of the spring water turning into a stream and flowing was quite pleasant to the ear.

Not long after that, disciples from the upper house came with orders to build various houses for Zhao Fuyun.

It’s not very complicated. There are pavilions and towers built in the forest in front of the Lihuo Palace.

Of course, they are all made of wood, using local materials and adapting to local conditions.

These disciples from the upper house were all new to Tiandu Mountain. They had never seen Zhao Fuyun, and some had even never heard of him. But when they saw him now, they couldn't help but steal a glance at Zhao Fuyun.

In their eyes, Zhao Fuyun is mysterious.

The next person to visit was Zhang Huigu.

She came in the capacity of someone who had listened to teachings from Zhao Fuyun. At that time, Zhao Fuyun had been her Taoist master and had taught her the Dharma. She came with the courtesy of a disciple, accompanied by her daughter Zhang Shiyuan and her husband.

No one came to disturb him after that.

In these mountains, the world had a noisy sense of quietness. He could feel the tranquility, yet hear the noise.

Jin Ling came again and asked him if he wanted to go to the upper house to be a Taoist master and accept a few disciples.

Zhao Fuyun had no intention of accepting disciples, but he said that he was willing to become a Buddhist monk.

So, he began his life as a Taoist priest again.

His time as a Taoist priest was short-lived, but when he decided to preach in the Senate again, it shocked the Senate.

Almost all the disciples who were not in retreat came to listen.

He didn't make any preparations.

When he arrived at the largest hall in the upper house, he saw that the cushions below were filled with young monks. They looked adult, but in his opinion, their faces and eyes were still childish.

Some ripples appeared in his originally silent heart because it reminded him of his past.

I was once one of these people, eager to understand the world and learn more spells. Now I know a lot about the world, but I still don’t understand it thoroughly. I know a lot of spells, but I still can’t see the end.

All on the way.

"I'm Fuyun, I've been away from the mountains for a long time and just returned. Senior Sister Jin Ling invited me to preach here. I wonder what you want to hear?" Zhao Fuyun said slowly while sitting on the platform in front.
