After becoming a ghost, hold the boss's thigh tightly

Yan'an and Taoyao set foot on Fenglai Continent together and entered a strange and mysterious small forest. At this time, the sunlight just penetrated the dense tree canopy, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of adventure to their journey. Birds sang happily in the forest, and insects chirped softly, the sound was crisp and pleasant, but it could not cover up the confusion and uneasiness deep in the hearts of the two.

Yan'an stopped and looked around. He saw lush trees intertwined like a maze, making it difficult to tell the direction. He frowned and said to Taoyao, who was also confused, "Taoyao, we must find someone to ask for directions, otherwise we will probably get lost if we continue walking."

Tao Yao nodded gently, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and expectation about the unknown world: "Yes, I hope we can meet some kind-hearted people who can help us." After that, she looked up at the sky, trying to determine the general direction from the position of the sun. However, the dense canopy prevented the sunlight from directly shining on the ground, making it impossible for her to determine the exact direction.

The two followed a path, hoping to meet other people. Along the way, they passed through dense woods and crossed clear streams, and finally came to an open area. There was an ancient temple surrounded by lush vegetation.

"Look! There is a temple there. Maybe someone inside can show us the way." Yan'an said excitedly, pointing to the temple in front.

A hint of surprise flashed in Taoyao's eyes, and the two quickened their pace and walked towards the temple. When they approached the temple, they found an old monk standing at the door, smiling at them.

"Amitabha, two donors, may I ask why you are here?" The old monk asked gently, clasping his hands together.

Yan'an and Taoyao looked at each other and smiled happily. They knew that this chance encounter might be the key to their finding the right direction. So they respectfully saluted the old monk and explained their purpose.

After listening to them, the old monk nodded slightly, indicating his willingness to help them. He told them the route to their destination in detail and reminded them to be careful. Yan'an and Taoyao were filled with gratitude and thanked him repeatedly.

After bidding farewell to the old monk, they followed the instructions and continued on their way. In the following journey, they no longer felt lost or uneasy, because they knew that as long as they kept going, they would definitely reach their destination.

At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps not far ahead, as if someone was walking towards them. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of them. The person asked softly, "Are you going to the Taoist temple?"

Yan'an and Taoyao looked at each other and answered, "Yes!"

"Why don't you go together? I'm planning to go there too," the man suggested.

Yan An looked around and felt that they were not far from the Taoist temple, so he readily agreed: "Okay."

Hearing this, the man stopped, turned around, and showed a gentle smile. He was dressed in simple clothes, carrying a long sword on his back, and there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. It was obvious that he was also a cultivator.

"Are you also going to Qingyang Taoist Temple? What a coincidence, I am also here for this year's enrollment. My name is Fang Qingci, nice to meet you." The man said enthusiastically.

Yan'an was delighted when he heard this and quickly introduced himself: "My name is Yan'an, and this is my friend Taoyao. We are going to meet a good friend, but we didn't expect to meet someone on the same journey here. It's great!"

Tao Yao also smiled and nodded to Fang Qingci, and the atmosphere between the three of them instantly became harmonious.

"Brother Fang, we are going to the Taoist temple to look for a good friend! Can we go together?" Yan An said

"In that case, we might as well travel together so that we can take care of each other on the road," Fang Qingci suggested.

Yan'an and Taoyao looked at each other and both agreed. Then, the three of them set out on the journey to Qingyang Taoist Temple together.

Along the way, they walked and talked, from their respective cultivation experiences to their understanding of Taoism, to their longing and expectation for Qingyang Taoist Temple. Fang Qingci's erudition benefited Yan'an and Taoyao a lot, while Yan'an's humor and Taoyao's gentleness and delicacy also made this journey full of laughter.

As they walked, they saw a dense forest in front of them. There was a clear stream flowing in the forest. Fang Qingci pointed at the forest and said, "This forest is called Qingmu Forest. There are many precious herbs and spiritual trees growing in it. It is a good place for practitioners to collect resources. However, there are also some dangers hidden in the forest. You need to be careful."

Yan An asked curiously, "Brother Fang, what dangers are there in this Qingmu Forest?"

Fang Qingci replied, "There are all kinds of monsters living in the Qingmu Forest. They are powerful and extremely ferocious. In addition, there are some mysterious formations and restrictions that can easily lead to traps. Therefore, you must be extra cautious when entering the Qingmu Forest."

Tao Yao looked around worriedly, and the other party Qing Ci said: "Then let's go around this forest to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Fang Qingci smiled and consoled him, "Don't worry, as long as we are careful and don't provoke those monsters, there shouldn't be any big problems. Besides, I'm quite familiar with this place and can take you to avoid some dangerous areas."

After hearing this, Yan'an said excitedly: "That's great. I can see the wonders of this green forest. Maybe I can even find some precious herbs!"

As he said this, Yan'an could not wait to walk towards the green wood forest. Taoyao shook her head helplessly, and sighed in her heart, this Yan'an is really impatient! However, she also understood Yan'an's persistence and enthusiasm for cultivation, so she did not blame him too much, but followed Yan'an into the forest.

Fang Qingci followed closely behind, holding his weapon tightly in his hand, always keeping alert and paying attention to the movements around him. Although he was not familiar with Fang Qingci, from his words and deeds, he could tell that he should be a very cautious and steady person.

After entering the green wood forest, the three of them felt a peaceful atmosphere. The trees here were tall and dense, and the sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. The ground was covered with thick moss, which was soft to step on, making people feel as if they were in a green ocean.

Entering the depths of the green forest, the three of them seemed to have stepped into a fairyland forgotten by time. All around, ancient trees towered into the sky, and their branches and leaves intertwined into a green sky. The sun tried to penetrate this dense green barrier, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of mystery and fantasy to this quiet forest. Moss covered every inch of the land, soft and fluffy, and every step made a slight sound, which intertwined with the occasional bird calls in the forest to form a natural movement.

Tao Yao was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery. She gently stroked the rough bark of an ancient tree beside her, her eyes sparkling with amazement: "This place is so beautiful, every inch reveals the wonders of nature."

Yan An smiled and agreed: "Indeed, whenever I am in such nature, I can feel a strong vitality, which makes me forget my troubles and my mind can truly relax."

Fang Qingci stood quietly by the side, his eyes penetrating the beautiful scenery in front of him, as if he was looking for something, or just enjoying the tranquility. He nodded slightly to show his agreement with Yan'an and Taoyao's words.

However, this tranquility did not last long. Suddenly, a low and majestic roar broke the silence of the forest, and a huge white tiger slowly walked out from the depths of the dense forest. It was covered with snow-white fur, shining brightly in the sun, and the word "king" on its forehead further demonstrated its extraordinary status. Its golden eyes flashed with wisdom and wildness, as if it could see into people's hearts.

"Monster!" Yan'an reacted quickly. He knew very well that there were many unknown dangers hidden in this unexplored forest.

Tao Yao couldn't help but get nervous, but she quickly regained her composure. She knew that as a peach tree demon, she had a unique advantage in the natural environment. "We have to be careful." She whispered to Yan An and Fang Qingci.

Fang Qingci quickly drew the long sword from his waist. Although he was a cultivator, his years of practice allowed him to remain calm when facing monsters. "Let's go together and protect each other." He said firmly.

The battle was about to start, and the white tiger attacked first. It leaped up suddenly, and its huge body drew a graceful arc in the air, rushing straight towards Taoyao. Taoyao dodged the white tiger's attack with ease, using her familiarity with the forest. She took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and countless vines sprang out from the ground and wrapped around the white tiger.

Not to be outdone, Yan'an transformed himself into a giant snake demon, hovering in the air, spitting out his tongue and making bursts of hissing sounds. He used his flexible body to constantly harass the white tiger, looking for flaws in his attack.

Fang Qingci relied on his superb swordsmanship to shuttle between Baihu, Taoyao and Yan'an, looking for the best time to attack. His swordsmanship was sharp and precise, and every swing of the sword was accompanied by a sharp sword wind, forcing Baihu to be distracted to deal with it.

"Don't even think about hurting me!" The white tiger roared, its eyes becoming even redder, and its aura becoming even more violent. It struggled violently, broke free from the vines, and turned to pounce on Fang Qingci.

Fang Qingci stretched his body and cleverly avoided the attack of the white tiger. At the same time, he swung his sword with a flash of lightning, directly hitting the white tiger's vital point. However, the white tiger's reaction was just as fast. It dodged Fang Qingci's fatal blow by turning sideways, and took the opportunity to open its bloody mouth and bite Fang Qingci.

At this moment, Taoyao and Yan'an attacked at the same time. Taoyao's vines emerged again, tightly wrapping around the white tiger; while Yan'an transformed into a snake demon, opened his huge mouth and bit the white tiger's neck. The white tiger roared and struggled hard, but it was ultimately unable to withstand the joint attack of the three. In the end, its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and it lost its life.

After the battle, the three smiled at each other, and the tacit understanding and trust between them were further deepened in this battle. They knew that there might be more challenges and dangers on the road ahead, but as long as they united as one, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

They continued walking forward and soon came to a small pavilion. The pavilion looked a little old, but it exuded an ancient atmosphere. The pillars of the pavilion had been eroded by time and were somewhat mottled. They were engraved with exquisite patterns and words, as if telling stories from the past. The tiles on the roof of the pavilion had also lost their original luster, revealing a sense of vicissitudes. However, despite this, the pavilion still exuded a unique charm, which reminded people of the scenes of ancient literati and poets reciting poems, painting, drinking and making couplets here.

Yan'an pointed at the pavilion excitedly and said, "Look, that's our destination - Qingyang Taoist Temple!" His voice was full of anticipation and excitement, as if he had already seen his future becoming a powerful monk.

Taoyao and Fang Qingci looked in the direction of Yan'an's finger and saw an ancient Taoist temple standing on the top of the mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, giving people a mysterious feeling. The Taoist temple's architectural style is antique, with red walls, yellow tiles, flying eaves and arches, and it is magnificent. The gate of the Taoist temple is closed, and there is a plaque hanging on the door with four big characters "Qingyang Taoist Temple" written on it. The font is vigorous and powerful, and it is magnificent.

Tao Yao couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow, how spectacular!" Her eyes were shining with excitement, and she seemed to be full of curiosity and yearning for this place.

Fang Qingci also showed an expectant expression and said, "I heard that the teachers at Qingyang Taoist Temple are all highly accomplished masters. It will be a rare opportunity for us to receive their guidance." There was a hint of awe and longing in his tone, and it was obvious that he was looking forward to this journey to become an apprentice.

Yan'an seemed more optimistic. He patted his chest and said confidently: "No matter what, let's go first. I believe that as long as we work hard, there will always be a chance."

Yan An smiled brightly and his eyes were full of hope. He seemed to be full of confidence in the future, believing that he could overcome difficulties and find his own opportunities. He firmly believed that as long as he persevered, he would be able to achieve his goals.

After saying this, Yan An took the lead in climbing up the mountain. He showed his bravery and courage, took the first step without hesitation, and moved towards the top of the mountain. His figure on the mountain road looked firm and powerful, as if nothing could stop his pace.

Tao Yao and Fang Qingci looked at each other, then followed closely and began to climb the steep mountain road. They encouraged each other and embarked on this difficult journey together.

As time goes by, the scenery in the mountains and forests is constantly changing. They pass through the dense woods and feel the power and beauty of nature. From lush forests to open valleys, to winding trails, every place is refreshing.

In the process, they not only appreciated the beauty of nature, but also experienced the warmth of friendship. They supported each other, faced challenges together, and shared each other's joys and confusions. This deep friendship became the most precious gain of their trip.

Finally, after a long journey, an ancient and solemn Taoist temple came into view. The green tiles, white walls, and eaves looked even more sacred under the afterglow of the setting sun. This Taoist temple exudes an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, which makes people feel awe.

The three of them smiled at each other, knowing that they had finally arrived at their destination, the Qingyang Taoist Temple. They walked towards the Taoist temple with great anticipation, with curiosity about the unknown and a desire to explore in their hearts. This would be a new journey, a brand new starting point.

"It seems that our journey is coming to an end." Fang Qingci said with emotion.

Yan'an patted his shoulder and smiled, "No, this is just a new beginning. I believe that in Qingyang Taoist Temple, you will encounter more challenges and opportunities, and will also meet more like-minded friends."

Tao Yao also nodded gently, with determination and expectation flashing in her eyes: "Yes, this is just the beginning!"

So, with their vision and hope for the future, Yan'an, Taoyao and Fang Qingci stepped into the gate of Qingyang Taoist Temple together.
