Reborn, I am doing involution on Jinshan

The white tiger couple nodded their huge heads at Li Jing, then gently picked up a tiger cub each, jumped up, and disappeared into the mountains and forests after a few jumps.

"Master Li, you are so confused." Master Xu's veins popped out, but he was helpless and had to take a group of people back and forth.

Seeing this, everyone dispersed. Although Yan Shilong was still a little reluctant, he smiled with relief when he thought that the tiger cub could return to its parents.

Li Jing looked at his disciples and said earnestly, "All living things have spirits. We should live in harmony with all living things in this world and not make enemies."

The disciples nodded, took these words to heart, and then followed Li Jing back to the Taoist temple.

At noon, in the dining room, the eight direct disciples sat casually.

While stirring the Dongpo pork in his bowl, Yan Shilong said listlessly, "I wonder when I'll be able to see Tiger Immortal and his family again."

Sitting across from him, the second senior brother Dongfang Ying softly consoled him, "All good things must come to an end. Every flower is a world, every leaf a bodhi tree. This is our destiny. There's no need to force it. Asking too much will only lead to sadness."

She pushed the braised fish in front of him and said, "Xiao Liu, today's fried fish tastes good. You should try it too."

He called out to Xiao Ruiyue, "Cousin, come and eat some fried fish. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the meat is delicious." At the same time, his hands were not idle. He stretched out his long arm and pulled a chair for her.

Little Ruiyue came over happily, holding a bowl of rice, staring at the plate of fried fish with sparkling eyes. "Okay, okay, I love fried fish the most."

As he spoke, he picked up the serving chopsticks, picked up two pieces and put them in the bowl, then put them into his mouth with his own fork. His cheeks puffed up like a little hamster, and he said incoherently: "It's delicious!"

"Eighth cousin, the eagles came here to make trouble this morning, saying that their food supply was running low. Can the royal hunting ground accommodate them?" Little Ruiyue recounted the whole story of the dispute.

Dongfang Ying said in a clear voice, "My cousin joined the sect late. Every year when autumn comes, these eagles will make a fuss a few times. They guard the city for our royal family, so naturally they have their share of rations. Everyone here must contribute to their own rations."

The other disciples seconded the idea, and Seventh Senior Brother Lei Yide also joined in: "These vultures can fly high and are very strong, so they are very useful. But they are very arrogant and refuse to move. If they don't have enough food, they will only bring shame upon themselves."

"Those who are willing to go, the eagle representative said, will only go when they receive the emperor's summons. The royal hunting ground will have to give a precise announcement on how many households the eagle people can go to," Yan Shilong spoke up for him.

Senior Brother Zhong Shuo nodded: "Excellent, Second Junior Brother should make a decision soon."

Everyone was discussing the matter when a sudden commotion erupted from outside the kitchen. Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks and went outside to investigate. They saw a gigantic bald eagle arguing with the crane messenger. Behind them, on the artificial rocks, a group of large eagles lurked.

The bald eagle's feathers were disheveled, and its eyes were full of anger and hunger. It spoke in human language: "Where are the rations you agreed on? If you don't give them to us, we will no longer guard the Taoist temple. You'd better find someone else!" the bald eagle roared in a rough voice.

A crane flew in from afar and landed on the roof beam. It spoke in human language, "Elder Diao, please don't be impulsive. I've informed the royal family of this matter, and they will dispatch food as soon as possible. Until then, I hope everyone will be patient."

After hearing this, the big bald eagle stopped attacking and snatching food, and waited outside the Taoist temple with a group of bald eagles.

The commotion here alarmed the headmaster and several Taoist priests. Li Jing stepped forward and soothed them, "Elder Diao, don't worry. We will definitely solve your food problem. It's just that the prey in the mountains has decreased recently, so we need some time to prepare."

Lei Yide muttered to himself, "That vulture is causing trouble again."

The crane envoy flew low to the ground and transformed into a young man in a blue robe, standing beside Li Jing. He bowed to everyone and said, "Master, a full stomach is necessary for good work. Could you please send lunch to his family of three first?"

"Yes, there are not enough people in the kitchen today, so the meals for the long-haired tribe have been arranged to the last batch. Look how anxious they are, and we are even more anxious than them." The cook was perceptive this time and quickly sent people to distribute the meals in advance. He felt wronged and depressed, and when he met a tough guy, he could only say soft words.

The big bald eagle took a cloth bag of food, let out a long cry, and flew away first. The other eagles lined up to receive the food and left one after another. The dispute was finally settled.

After the vultures flew away, Li Jing frowned and said to Taoist Master Xu beside him, "This matter cannot be delayed any longer. We must come up with a long-term plan as soon as possible, otherwise similar disputes will continue in the future."

Taoist Priest Xu nodded in agreement. "Master, what you said is absolutely right. Perhaps we can discuss with the royal family and expand the eagles' foraging area."

At this time, Zhong Shuo suddenly said: "Master, I have an idea. We can open up an area near the Taoist temple and artificially breed some prey for the eagles to eat. This will not only solve their food problem, but also reduce the pressure on the forest." After hearing this, everyone thought it was a good idea.

Li Jing pondered for a moment and made a decision: "Let's do as your senior brother, Zhong Shuo, said. Dongfang Ying, you will be responsible for communicating with the royal family. Lei Yide, you will take a few senior brothers to prepare for the breeding and see what animals and plants we need to purchase."

"Master Xu, please arrange for the new doormen to take turns working as cooks for a few days. They will all be busy until they move."

Everyone took the order and left, each busying themselves. The Taoist temple returned to its former tranquility, but a new challenge was about to begin.

Half a month later, the Longhair Tribe decided to move half of the eagle households to the royal hunting grounds, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The Imperial Taoist Temple still evoked a celestial aura, with occasional cranes and eagles circling warily overhead. The Ziling Mountain Taoist Temple had returned to its former tranquility. Although the Imperial Taoist Temple was closed to external disciples and open to the public, some still ventured in, only to be successfully persuaded to return by the gatekeepers.

On this day, little Ruiyue was taking a day off. She was sleeping soundly on her bed when the little doorman called out in a baby voice outside her room, "Eighth Senior Sister, the Sect Leader wants to see you. He's waiting for you in the library."

Little Ruiyue sat up from the bed in a daze, rubbed her eyes, and muttered, "What could the headmaster want from me in the middle of the day?"

She washed up quickly, put on a Taoist robe, and braided her waist-length hair into two pigtails, which she secured with clips. This was the only hairstyle she knew how to do. Feeling it was too plain, she inserted a lotus flower hairpin on each side of her head and the same earrings. The bronze mirror immediately revealed a young girl, swaying gracefully and barely presentable.

He touched the fox head and colorful gemstone gold bracelet on his hand, feeling good about himself, and rushed towards the library.

In the entire Taoist temple, she was the only one who could dress as she pleased, wearing gold and silver. The head monk said that girls should dress beautifully.

Alas, he was an open-minded master. Regarding attire, he simply insisted that his apprentices wear white robes embroidered with auspicious clouds, and the bald eagles on duty recognized them by their clothing. He didn't impose strict requirements on what accessories they wore.

But most male disciples wore a black cloth bun, at most wearing a single accessory. Second Senior Brother Dongfang Ying, a member of the royal family, the eighth child, was only 13 years old. His accessories were a jade crown and a gold crown, and a large, imperial green square pendant hung around his waist.

"If only Cuixiang and Caihong were here," she wouldn't have to worry about her appearance every day.

Arriving at the library, Xiao Ruiyue politely bowed to Li Jing and said, "Master, Master, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Li Jing smiled and pointed to the side. Three people flashed out from behind the screen. They were her father, Prince Gong Dongfang Huang, his schoolmate Cuixiang, and a wheat-skinned girl with curved eyebrows and bright almond eyes. She had her hair tied up with floral cloth, wore an iron-gray kung fu outfit, and pink soft-soled cloth shoes. She looked energetic and powerful.

Little Ruiyue was stunned at first, then rushed to her father in surprise: "Father, why are you here!"

Prince Gong Dongfang Huang touched her head lovingly and said, "I missed you, so I came to see my dear daughter."
