Of course, at this moment, Zao Niang didn't know who would come, and the three people flying over at this moment didn't know that the person in Ju'an Pavilion was not Ji Yuan.
In order to show his respect to Ji Yuan, the old man surnamed Lian from Tianji Pavilion was a long-bearded old man with a very high status in Dongtian, and he was naturally very proud of deducing the truth.
It is true that Changxu Weng could not calculate the fate, but he started from other aspects. If he could not calculate the fate, then he could calculate the things related to the fate, if not living things, then dead things. So when he calculated that there was someone in Ju'an Pavilion, he felt that today was a very auspicious day, so Changxu Weng directly asked Yu Huaishan's people to take him to Ning'an County.
When Qiu Feng was speaking, the long-bearded old man named Lian did not finish his words, but he still believed in his heart that Ji Yuan was in Ju'an Pavilion.
To reach Ning'an County, one must first pass Niukui Mountain. The first mountain the three men passed in the air was Niukui Mountain. When Changxu Weng of Tianji Pavilion saw the terrain of Niukui Mountain, he suddenly felt it was amazing.
"This mountain is not simple. It has spiritual beauty and traces of wind and thunder."
"We think so too. Master, Senior Lian, Ning'an County is not far ahead. Should we land on the ground and walk into the city?"
"It's only natural!" "It should be so!"
The two had no objection to this and landed directly outside Ning'an County. They then entered the county together and walked towards Tianniufang.
Although Qiu Feng and others were not as beautiful as Sun Yaya, the old man with a long beard, except that he was not that fat, had a beard more exaggerated than an enhanced version of Santa Claus, which would definitely attract onlookers. In order to avoid trouble, they also used sleight of hand to make themselves appear ordinary in the eyes of ordinary people, at most three gentlemen of different ages.
Outside Tianniufang, Sun's noodle stall had already closed and left, so Qiu Feng and others did not see it when they arrived. However, when they arrived outside Tianniufang, Changxu Weng could already feel the faint spiritual charm flowing with the wind, which seemed to be centered on Ju'an Pavilion.
This is not obvious, but before entering Ning'an County, Changxu Weng was carefully observing the entire layout from Niukui Mountain to Ning'an County, trying to understand what was so special about the place that allowed Ji Yuan to live in seclusion.
"Mr. Ji's retreat is indeed a good place!"
"Yes." "Yes, Ning'an County is indeed a good place, but I don't know whether Ning'an County came first and then Mr. Ji retired, or the other way around."
Hearing Qiu Feng say this, Changxu Weng and Pei Zheng couldn't help but look at him, but neither of them said anything. They each stretched out their hands and led them into Tianniufang.
The jujube tree in Ju'an Pavilion at the corner of Tianniufang is always so conspicuous. When they arrive in front of the courtyard, even the three cultivators with profound Taoism skills will be slightly refreshed.
"Master, Senior Lian, we have arrived at Ju'an Pavilion. I'll go knock on the door."
"Wait a minute!"
The old man with long beard raised his hand to stop Qiu Feng and looked at the two of them.
"Let me tidy up my appearance."
Qiu Feng and Pei Zheng originally thought that what the old man with long beard meant by tidying up his clothes was to see if he was neat and tidy, but they did not expect that after the old man with long beard said this, he first tidied up his clothes, then took out a whisk and patted his whole body to shake off the non-existent dust, and then took out a silver bottle.
The old man with long beard threw the silver bottle lightly, and the silver bottle hung in the air and opened by itself, with clear spring water flowing out of it. The old man with long beard caught the spring water with both hands and began to wash his hands and face.
Qiu Feng had never seen such a scene before. He just looked at his master with a little surprise, hoping that he could give an answer. However, Pei Zheng had never seen such a scene before. Although he knew that the old man with long beard was doing this out of respect, it was too much.
However, no matter how curious Qiu Feng and Pei Zheng were, they would not ask "Are you going too far, fellow Taoist?" at Ji Yuan's doorstep.
The whole process of grooming lasted for about twenty breaths for the old man with long beard. After that, he wiped his hands and face with a silk scarf and looked at the two people beside him with a somewhat holy smile.
"My two Taoist friends have been waiting for a long time. As the ancient scriptures say, if you want to see a saint, you must have a pious heart... Taoist friend Qiu Feng, I will just knock on the door."
After saying that, the old man with long beard came to the main door of Ju'an Pavilion first, stared at the plaque of the pavilion for a long time, and then gently knocked on the door.
“Boom boom boom…”
"Lian Baiping, the long-bearded man from Tianji Pavilion, comes to see Mr. Ji!"
The voice of the long-bearded old man was transmitted into the Ju'an Pavilion, and Zao Niang inside heard it clearly. She sat on the branch of the jujube tree and looked towards the gate of the courtyard, hesitating whether to open the door.
I don’t know Lian Baiping from Tianji Pavilion, and I’ve never heard of him, and the master is not here either.
There must be someone inside Ju'an Pavilion, so in the current situation, the person inside was probably pretending not to hear anything. This made Lian Baiping feel a little embarrassed. He cleared his throat secretly and then knocked on the door again.
“Boom boom boom…”
"I am Lian Baiping, a junior, and I have come to ask to see Mr. Ji. I hope you will meet me."
After saying this, he waited for a while. There was still no movement in Ju'an Pavilion. Pei Zheng glanced at Qiu Feng, and the latter stepped forward.
"How about I call?"
Lian Baiping took a step back in frustration.
"Please let Daoist Qiu speak..."
"Um."
After Qiu Feng nodded, he was about to knock on the door, but there were slight footsteps coming from behind. Thinking it was just a mortal passing by, the three of them ignored it, but a clear voice was also heard.
"I am really sorry that I failed to welcome you all to my humble abode. However, I just returned from afar and was unable to enter your home."
'Mr. Ji!'
The three of them were startled and turned around. At the entrance of the alley not far away, Ji Yuan was walking towards them after coming out of the alley.
"Mr. Ji!" "Mr. Ji just came back!"
"I don't want to trouble you to come and meet me, sir. We have just arrived."
Ji Yuan and the other three exchanged greetings, and his attention was focused on the Longbearded Old Man. Not to mention that he had just heard the other party's voice, even if he hadn't heard it, just based on his appearance, he would have to think of the Longbearded Old Man from the Tianji Pavilion.
Lian Baiping's eyes were shining at this moment, and he was even a little excited when looking at Ji Yuan, and the excitement in his heart was even greater than what he showed.
"This is Mr. Ji. As expected, his Taoism is in harmony with the heaven and earth..."
At this moment, the door of Ju'an Pavilion opened with a creaky sound. Zao Niang had already fallen from the branch and walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard.
"Sir, you are back!"
"Woman?" "Is she a human or a fairy?"
Qiu Feng and the others looked at each other, unable to figure out what Zao Niang was up to for a moment. Ji Yuan didn't say much either. He nodded slightly to Zao Niang and invited the three of them in.
"You three have come from afar, please come in, Madam Zao, please make me a pot of honey tea, I have run out of honey."
"Yes, Miss Zao has been collecting them carefully!"
Zao Niang happily went to the kitchen to make tea, while Ji Yuan asked the three to sit down in the yard and first apologized to Lian Baiping.
"Friend Lian, I was planning to visit the Tianji Pavilion, but was delayed due to the things at hand. I would like to apologize to the Tianji Pavilion..."
"Sir, sir, please don't say that!"
Lian Baiping, who had already sat down, immediately stood up and bowed to Ji Yuan.
"Who are you, sir? Our Tianji Pavilion should have come to greet you. This is in accordance with etiquette! What have you done wrong, sir?"
Lian Baiping had been observing Ji Yuan carefully since the moment he met him. He saw that his robes were simple and there were no spiritual words or spells on him, and he did not perform any magic. However, all visible dust and invisible dirt were far away from his body. This made him feel even more respectful to Ji Yuan.
“Fellow Daoist Lian, you are too kind. But since you are here, I may not have to go to Tianji Pavilion this time.”
Ji Yuan's words startled Lian Baiping. What? You are not going to Tianji Pavilion? Or is it because of me? If I go back, won't I be torn to pieces by the pavilion masters
"Absolutely not, absolutely not, sir! Sir, please come with me to the Tianji Cave Heaven. Ever since our Tianji Pavilion knew that you were coming to visit, everyone in the cave has been tidying up the cave heaven, and everyone is welcoming you. We have been looking forward to this day for a long time. If you don't go, the pavilion will definitely blame me for not doing my job well. At the very least, I will be imprisoned for a hundred years, and at the worst, I will lose 20% of my cultivation..."
Ji Yuan's eyebrows jumped. Is it that serious? Are you, old man, making it up
"Well, what if I write a letter and ask you to take it to him?"
"That won't work either. Hey! Why don't you let me follow you? If you don't go to Tianji Pavilion, I won't go back either. Then it won't be considered that I didn't invite you well enough!"
Unexpectedly, such a long-bearded old man would act like a rogue like a child. Ji Yuan had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, I'll go to Tianji Pavilion."
Zao Niang also came out with a tea tray, placed teacups on the table, picked up the teapot and poured tea for everyone. The fragrance of honey tea wafted around.
Smelling the tea carefully, there is more to it than just spiritual energy, but a kind of spiritual charm, which Changxu Weng is very clear in his mind.
"Tea, please."
"Thank you!" "Thank you sir, thank you Fairy Zao!"
Zao Niang also laughed. This name was not nice at all.
"Just call me Zao Niang. By the way, sir, Yaya is back too."
"Yes, Ji knows."
On the other side, the old man with long beard was drinking tea, and suddenly he remembered something. He quickly flicked his sleeves, and several crystal clear big fish flew out. These fish were wrapped in a layer of water flow, swimming continuously in the air. Their shapes were like shuttles, but none of them was smaller than an ordinary person's arm.
"I heard that Mr. Ji likes to eat fish, so I specially prepared a few good fish before coming down. Please accept them!"
This guy is prepared...
Ji Yuan looked at these fish and couldn't say no.
"In that case, I would be disrespectful to refuse. I happened to cook these fish today and would like to share them with the three Taoist friends. Hmm, are you hungry, Zao Niang? Do you want to eat with us?"
Seeing Ji Yuan looking at her, Zao Niang showed joy on her face and nodded in response.
"Hungry, Zao Niang eats!"
