In the way of heaven, shapes are used to express meanings. This cloud is not a rain cloud, but a manifestation of condensed Qi, so it cannot be seen on the ground.
Those fairy mountain caves, golden towers and jade palaces among the clouds are also made of pure air. Looking up at the sky, you can only see the clear sky, but you don't know where the fairy mountains are.
Lin Xiaodong passed through three layers of clouds one after another and came to the sea of clouds. Under the brilliant glow, he saw a golden palace located among the layers of clouds and mountains. On the blue plaque, it read "Jian Leshan Prefecture Luodong"
Six black letters.
He pressed down the cloud head and landed in front of the palace. The ground was covered with green grass, as green as new, flowers were blooming, and the fragrance was pleasant.
The palace door was open, and there was a pair of Taoist boys playing at the door. When they saw Lin Xiaodong, they asked, "Who are you?"
Lin Xiaodong saluted and said: "Lin Xiaodong from Chonghua Palace in Yunlan Mountain wants to see your mother-in-law, please let me know."
The two Taoist boys returned to the door, and after a while, a fairy walked in, gorgeously dressed, covered in jewelry, and radiant.
But her face was full of anger, and she rushed towards Lin Xiaodong with a flying pestle in her hand, shouting: "How dare you come to my mountain gate?"
Lin Xiaodong recognized that this person was Lin Yunying, a disciple of Empress Jin Qiong. She was defeated by him last time and was obviously dissatisfied.
He then spread his hands and said: "Miss Lin, your mother-in-law no longer pursues this matter, why are you holding on to it?"
Lin Yunying shouted angrily: "Why did you come to my mountain gate?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "It's a matter of saving people's lives. I want to ask to see your mother-in-law."
Lin Yunying raised the flying pestle high, fired a golden light towards Lin Xiaodong, and said: "Want to see my mother-in-law?
Get through me first!"
Lin Xiaodong dodged, and the golden light shone into the sea of clouds in the distance.
He said: "Miss Lin, you and I have fought before, why should we fight again now?"
Lin Yunying was aggressive, and the Feiming Pestle released another golden light, and coldly snorted: "Last time, I was on the ground, and my spiritual energy was thin and dirty, so I lost to you. It's not certain that I will do it again now!"
Lin Xiaodong opened his arms, and the golden light passed through his chest and shone into the white clouds behind him.
Lin Yunying raised the flying pestle high and struck Lin Xiaodong directly.
Lin Xiaodong stretched out his hand and the flying pestle extinguished the treasure light and fell to the ground.
Lin Yunying was startled and stared: "What kind of Taoism is this?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Thanks to the guidance of my mentor, I have made further progress in my cultivation."
Lin Yunying sneered: "I'm here to learn from you!"
He took out the flying feather wheel and threw it towards Lin Xiaodong.
Lin Xiaodong raised his finger, and the flying feather wheel suddenly lost its strength and fell on the grass.
Lin Yunying exclaimed: "How did you dissipate the magic power of my treasure?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Take me to your mother-in-law and I will tell you."
Lin Yunying became even more annoyed after hearing this. She picked up Jinyun Ling and waved it, setting off a large cloud wave and blowing towards Lin Xiaodong.
Just as Lin Xiaodong was about to fight back, a loud female voice came from the palace: "Stop!"
The voice was cold and full of Taoist power, and it directly dispersed the clouds and waves.
Lin Yunying turned around and looked up at the palace and asked, "Teacher?"
"Please ask Mr. Lin to come in quickly!"
After hearing this, Lin Yunying glared at Lin Xiaodong unwillingly and said reluctantly: "Come in!"
Lin Xiaodong was amused when he saw Lin Yunying's deflated look. He suppressed his laughter and followed her into the palace.
Living in Xianren Cave, the luxury and wealth are far beyond the comparison of Taoist people living on earth. Lin Xiaodong himself lives in Chonghua Palace, has been to Deep Sea Dragon Palace, and today when he came to Zhouluo Cave, he was still shocked and dumbfounded.
Seeing him like this, Lin Yunying curled her lips in disdain: "Did you see that?
We, the immortals who live in the sky, are much stronger than you, the Taoists who live on the earth. Don’t think that my mother-in-law has lost to you because she just can’t use it on the ground."
Lin Xiaodong was too lazy to argue, rolled his eyes, and followed Lin Yunying to the back hall.
Empress Jin Qiong is dressed in colorful clothes and sits on the throne. Her body is three feet tall, almost the same as the statue in the temple.
Lin Xiaodong was not even up to her knees, he opened his mouth and raised his eyebrows for a moment, then hurriedly saluted: "Student Lin Xiaodong, I have met Empress Jin Qiong."
Empress Jin Qiong smiled and said, "Master Lin is here, why are you here?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "There is a den of evil in Fuyang County, Shannan Road, called Baiyuelou, which killed three newlyweds.
The souls of the three people are now in my hands. I would like to ask the empress if there is a way to bring them back to life."
Lin Yunying said proudly: "Hmph, why, your magic power is so high, you can't revive the dead?"
Empress Jin Qiong squinted at Lin Yunying: "Don't be rude."
Lin Yunying shrank her neck in fright.
Lin Xiaodong said: "These three brides were all kidnapped on their wedding night, and their happy event turned into a funeral. I couldn't bear it, so I came to harass the queen."
Empress Jin Qiong nodded and smiled: "It's rare for you to be so kind."
With a wave of her sleeves and a flash of golden light, she returned to normal size, came to Lin Xiaodong and said, "Taoist Master, follow me."
Lin Xiaodong followed Empress Jin Qiong to the outside of the palace. Under the Jade Corridor Bridge, there was a bend of spring water, in which grew many white magnolias, which were pure white and fragrant.
Empress Jin Qiong pointed at Lin Yunying and said, "Go and pick three flowers."
Lin Yunying glared reluctantly and said: "Mother, why do you want to help him?"
Empress Jin Qiong asked her: "Don't you do anything to save people's lives?"
After hearing this, Lin Yunying had no choice but to go down to the pond and pick three magnolias.
Empress Jin Qiong reached out to take it and asked Lin Xiaodong: "Where are the souls of the three brides?"
Lin Xiaodong spread his hands, found the picture of picking up clouds, and released the souls of the three brides, all dressed in wedding clothes and with disheveled hair.
He stretched out his hand to Empress Jin Qiong and said, "Why don't you pay your respects to Empress Jin Qiong?"
The three ladies hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "I have seen Empress Jin Qiong."
Empress Jin Qiong smiled and said to Lin Xiaodong: "I want to bring them back to life, but there are conditions."
Lin Xiaodong had fought against Empress Jin Qiong a long time ago and knew that she would be compassionate and reasonable and would not be in trouble, so he asked: "What kind of conditions?"
Empress Jin Qiong said: "After they return, they will go to the Qingfeng Temple in Zhongmin Mountain on Xinnan Road to ask for a statue of me and burn incense and provide water on the first and fifteenth day of every month."
Lin Xiaodong asked: "Did you hear everything?"
The three ladies leaned over and thanked them: "Thank you, Madam."
Empress Jin Qiong smiled, took out a glass vase from her arms, put the three souls and three magnolia flowers into it, closed her eyes and performed the exercises.
After a moment, she lifted up the glass bottle and poured it on the ground. Three people came out. They were three brides, all dressed in red makeup and looking beautiful.
Lin Xiaodong was stunned and saluted: "Your Majesty's Taoism is profound and the students admire her!"
Empress Jin Qiong said: "If you come to live in heaven, your magical powers will be above mine."
The three brides thanked each other in unison: "Thank you so much for your grace!"
Empress Jin Qiong returned the gift and said to Lin Xiaodong: "When you come to Tianzhong from now on, you can be my neighbor."
Lin Xiaodong handed over his hand: "It's a great honor for the students!"
He said goodbye to Empress Jin Qiong and went down to the next world with the three ladies.
On Shiling Mountain, there was a lot of sorrow and grief. The three ladies and their families gathered their ashes on the mountain and knelt down to cry bitterly.
