Chapter 347: It’s a joy to have friends from far away
Sure enough, there was a person in the corridor. He was wearing a bun and a face like a crown jewel. He looked to be no more than thirty years old. He was wearing a blue robe and was floating gently in the mountain breeze. He looked quite a bit like an immortal.
"It's great to have friends from far away. Li Fengli, a poor Taoist, has met my Taoist friend." The Taoist smiled slightly when he saw Wang An.
"Pineapple, do you have a senior brother named Pineapple?"
The Taoist priest was slightly startled after hearing this, with a bit of surprise on his face.
"Just kidding." Wang An smiled and waved his hand.
"Fellow Taoist, please come this way." Li Fengli smiled slightly and pointed to the side.
"Lead the way."
Li Fengli led the way, and Wang An followed behind, looking at the clouds and mist.
"Are you the only one on this mountain?"
"There is one more." Li Fengli said with a smile.
The two people bypassed the corridor dug out of the cliff and came to a pavilion.
"Taoist Master please."
Wang An followed Li Fengli into the pavilion. The furnishings inside were very simple, including wooden tables and chairs, a futon for meditation, a small stove, and an exquisite iron pot on the stove with a dragon coiled on it and the spout of the pot.
The handle of the pot is the dragon's tail.
"Fellow Taoist, please take a seat."
After Li Fengli sat down, he picked up the iron pot and made tea. Under the stimulation of hot water, the strong fragrance of tea wafted out.
"Fellow Taoist, please have some tea."
The tea smells very fragrant, and the tea water is light green and very clear.
"What does the Taoist priest do on this mountain on weekdays?" Wang An asked Taoist priest Li Fengli who was sitting in front of him without drinking tea.
"Refining Qi and breathing, comprehending the mysteries between heaven and earth." Li Fengli said.
"The Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain?"
"Those people have never understood the great truth, they just learned some heretical ways." Li Fengli replied.
By the way, is this different from what the person at the bottom of the mountain said?
"Please tell me, Taoist Master, what is the great road?"
"Understanding the mysteries between heaven and earth is the Great Way. The Great Way can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. As the saying goes, the Tao can be explained, but it is not the Tao; the name can be named, but it is not named."
"You said the same thing. Did you know that the Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain uses people to conduct experiments?"
"Know."
"Why not stop it?"
"I have also advised you, but the way is different."
"It's different? Some people came to the island before. Where did they go?"
"Been eaten by wild beasts in the forest."
"What kind of beast? I saw a strange blue bird when I was walking along the way. I didn't see any wild beast in the forest?" Wang An stared at the Taoist priest in front of him.
The aura of Li Fengli was very strong, more than ten times that of the man in robes he met in the Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain. In addition, the energy emanating from his body was very closely related to the surroundings.
These are things that ordinary people cannot see with their eyes, but Wang An feels them clearly.
There is no doubt that the Taoist priest in front of him is lying, and what he said is still so natural. Wang An is not in a hurry to take action. Since he wants to finish playing, he will play with him.
"Tea, please." Li Fengli invited Wang An to tea for the second time.
"This tea is not ordinary tea, isn't it?"
"It is a spiritual tea from the mountains. Drinking it regularly can make people feel calm and make it easier for them to fall into tranquility. Fellow Taoists can take some back to taste when they leave."
"The so-called spiritual tea you are talking about is made from jujube leaves, right?" Wang An stared at the tea in the cup, and he smelled a special smell in the tea.
"How did fellow Taoist know this?" Taoist Master Li Fengli picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
"Where is that date tree? I want to see it."
"You want to see the sacred tree?" Li Fengli was stunned after hearing this.
"Sacred tree?"
"That tree has already communicated with the gods, so it is called the sacred tree."
"Then we have to meet."
"Okay, please come with me."
Then Li Fengli got up and took Wang An out of the attic. He walked along the corridor and introduced the situation in the mountain to Wang An from time to time, just like a tour guide.
They walked along the corridor on the cliff to the back of the mountain. There was a depression in the middle of the mountain, but it was not the kind of valley that reached the bottom all at once, but only halfway up the mountain.
The corridor in the mountain winds down to the bottom of the mountain. As he walked, Li Fengli suddenly stopped.
"That's right there."
He raised his finger and pointed somewhere in the mountain. As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by. Where he pointed, the lingering clouds began to disperse, revealing the true appearance of the mountain. Among the scattered rocks, a large tree could be vaguely seen.
The tree has lush branches and leaves, and there are still fiery red fruits hanging on the big tree. Each one is like a point of fire and seems to be still shining.
“Very strong aura.”
Wang An felt a strong aura on the tree in front of him, which was somewhat similar to the power he once controlled. Among the five elements, the power of wood represents vitality.
"It's worse than I thought." Wang An said calmly.
"What did you imagine it to be like?" Li Fengli couldn't help but ask after hearing this.
"It should be the king of trees in this mountain forest."
"It is."
"Just looking at the image, I always feel like something is missing." Wang An looked at the tree.
"What's the near miss?" Li Fengli's expression changed slightly after hearing this.
The tree in front of me seemed to hear the conversation between the two of them, and its leaves swayed slightly.
Wang An suddenly disappeared from Li Fengli's eyes, and appeared next to the jujube tree the next moment. Li Fengli was stunned, and then Wang An disappeared again and appeared next to Li Fengli again.
Li Fengli turned to stare at Wang An, his right hand folded in the long Taoist robe.
"What did fellow Taoist mean just now?"
Wang An didn't say anything. He stretched out his hand and spread his fingers. In his palm lay several emerald green leaves of the jujube tree, as well as a fiery red jujube.
"This date looks good."
"If fellow Taoist want to eat, you can pick more."
Wang An picked up a leaf and brought it to his nose and smelled it carefully.
"No, this tastes wrong. The leaves that were brewed just now were not from this tree."
"Can you tell the difference just by a few leaves?"
"Almost, fellow Taoist, are you ready to take action?" Wang An smiled and looked at Li Fengli in front of him, and he could feel that the aura of the other party was changing.
This change is like throwing a big stone into the originally calm lake water, causing ripples in the water.
Li Fengli's expression did not change when he heard this, and his expression was calm.
"Why do fellow Taoists say this?"
"In the Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain, the guy with snake scales on half of his face has told me the story of this island. You are too polite to me. Do you have some conspiracy or something?
Afraid?" As Wang An spoke, the energy in his body had already merged into his surroundings.
He could feel that there was an energy around him that was very repellent to the infuriating energy he was emitting. It was repelling the integration and control of the energy around him, but this rejection could not prevent the integration of his infuriating energy with the surroundings, because
The level of his Wuji Qi is higher.
The true energy he exudes can suppress another energy, and even directly snatch away the energy that has been communicated by that energy.
"Are you communicating between heaven and earth?"
Li Fengli said nothing and just stared at Wang An, who was very close. He was indeed afraid of Wang An, otherwise he would have taken action long ago, and he would not have talked so much nonsense to Wang An.
"I walked around the island before coming here. You should have noticed that I know there aren't many wild animals on this mountain. Where have all the people who came before gone?"
Li Fengli remained silent, and Wang An heard subtle noises coming from all around. There seemed to be something about to break out of the rocks and soil beneath his feet.
