Before Ji Yuan came to his house, Yu Huaishan had already received the message from the little paper crane and knew that Ji Yuan would come to his house to bring the mountain-sealing talisman.
It was exactly half a day later that Ji Yuan arrived outside Yuhuai Mountain. Xiezhi looked at the fairy-like Yuhuai Mountain, then turned to look at Ji Yuan who was slowly walking away on the wind.
"I won't show up. If they don't want to give it to you, you can't use force with your status. Call me out to help you get it!"
Xiezhi's words were obviously a bit exaggerated, but without waiting for Ji Yuan to say anything, he turned back into the scroll and flew back into Ji Yuan's sleeve.
At this moment, Ji Yuan was flying in the thick fog outside Yuhuai Mountain. He just waited for a short while before the sound of cranes came from afar.
"Lie—"
A mountain-guarding crane flew closer and saw that it was Ji Yuan standing in the wind. It immediately transformed into a man in feathered clothes and bowed to Ji Yuan.
"So it's Mr. Ji who has arrived. If you don't mind, I'm willing to carry you into the mountains!"
"Yes, thank you."
Ji Yuan just nodded in response, and the man turned into a crane again, slowly flying to Ji Yuan's feet. After Ji Yuan sat cross-legged on the crane's back, he flapped his wings and flew into the mist, flying towards Yuhuai Mountain.
Once they entered the Yuhuai Holy Land, the cranes did not stop at all. Occasionally, the sound of a crane's cry could be heard far away in the depths of Yuhuai Mountain, sounding more like a report.
In a valley in a medicinal garden in Yuhuai Holy Land, Wei Yuansheng heard the cry of a crane and looked up at the sky, and saw the mountain-guarding crane carrying people in.
"Mr. Ji?"
Those who knew Ji Yuan in Yuhuai Mountain and saw this scene were all thinking about this matter.
In the sky, the crane did not land at all. It carried Ji Yuan across the insurmountable barriers of Yuhuai Mountain for ordinary disciples and arrived in front of Yuzhu Peak. Then it flapped its wings upwards, passed the main hall and continued to fly towards the top of the mountain.
This was not the first time that Ji Yuan had seen Yuzhu Peak, but it was the first time that he had set foot on Yuzhu Peak. This was a forbidden area of Yuhuai Mountain, but it was open to Ji Yuan today.
All the great masters of Yuhuai Mountain have come out of retreat and are standing on the top of the mountain waiting.
"Lie—"
The crane cried out, flew over with Ji Yuan on its back, then flapped its wings and slowly landed.
"Mr. Ji, we are here."
Ji Yuan nodded, got off the crane's back, looked forward, and saw Ju Yuanzi and a few others in the lead, just bowed to Ji Yuan.
"Mr. Ji, we have been waiting for a long time. Please come to the mountain-guarding platform!"
"Excuse me!"
At this moment, the top of Yuzhu Peak was covered with white snow, and heavy snow like goose feathers kept falling from the sky. The monks of Yuhuaishan were divided into the left and right sides, while Ji Yuan and a few people led by Ju Yuanzi went to the middle and gradually walked up to a high platform with dozens of steps.
"Mr. Ji, what is placed on the mountain-suppressing platform is the Mountain-Sealing Talisman. It is not certain that there is another one in the world. The legend of the Mountain-Sealing Talisman has existed since ancient times, but no one knows where this treasure came from. According to the inference of our predecessors in Yu Huaishan, the source of the Mountain-Sealing Talisman is most likely this Mountain-Sealing Talisman."
Ji Yuan looked at Ju Yuanzi, then at the other great masters of Yu Huaishan.
"So what is the origin of this summons?"
Dozens of steps were not very high, and Ji Yuan and others quickly reached the top, standing on a platform less than five meters wide. In the center was a huge piece of white jade. On the jade was something that looked like a bamboo slip.
A great immortal next to Ju Yuanzi looked in the direction of the white jade stone with complicated eyes, took over the topic and answered while stroking his beard.
"Legend has it that many years ago, my founder of Yu Huai Mountain was sailing on the sea with his good friend. At night, they saw a glow in the sea, so they dived together and found this mountain-sealing talisman. They studied it together for decades and then separated. The talisman was kept in the hands of the founder, who later founded Yu Huai Mountain. This talisman is circulated throughout the world, but it has changed over the years. It is also one of the sources of the method of command."
In fact, for many people who practice various ways, the imperial edict and summons are indeed good, but they are something that is extremely difficult and of little help. At most, they can help those who are interested in Shinto to get started, saving the initial effort of connecting heaven and earth or integrating into the incense. It can be regarded as laying the foundation, but after that, one still has to practice hard, and even the one who is imperially appointed may be constrained because of some conditions "polished" in the summons, so it is a bit useless.
But even so, some powerful imperial summons had appeared before, mainly for the mountain gods guarding the mountains of some righteous sects, and the pinnacle of legend was the mountain imperial summons.
As for the law of imperial decrees, it is a truly top-notch method.
“So there is this past.”
Although Ji Yuan said this, he felt it was surprisingly natural.
But today we are not here to trace the origin, so the digression stops here and everyone in Yuhuaishan stops here standing on this high platform.
"Mr. Ji, the mountain-sealing talisman is on that white jade stone. If you can pick it up, take it away. I, Yu Huaishan, will never say no!"
After Ju Yuanzi said this, the other people in Yu Huaishan also nodded.
"Mr. Ji, please!"
Another great immortal stretched out his hand and led the way towards the white jade stone.
Seeing the attitude of the people around him, Ji Yuan knew that it would be no easy task to pick up the mountain-sealing talisman. At least that's what the people in Yuhuai Mountain thought. But if it was really impossible to pick it up, how did the founder of Yuhuai Mountain and those fellow practitioners take it away and study it for decades
"Or did it change after it was placed on this mountain-guarding platform?"
These thoughts flashed through Ji Yuan's mind. He walked straight to the white jade stone without stopping. He looked down and saw a gray scroll on it. He couldn't tell what material it was made of, but there were countless imperial decrees engraved on the white jade stone.
"Um?"
Ji Yuan had a slight doubt, then looked up at the people in Yu Huaishan. Many of them, including Ju Yuanzi, sighed, while some turned their heads away and did not meet Ji Yuan's gaze.
Ji Yuan smiled, he was overthinking it, it turned out that this mountain-sealing talisman no longer had any spiritual charm. Perhaps the last bit of its strength was used to resist the attack of the real dragon.
Ji Yuan stretched out his hand to grab the scroll and tried to lift it up, but found that the scroll did not move at all. He felt that lifting it would be even more exaggerated than directly lifting Yu Zhu Peak.
"Since the spirit has been lost, give it back again."
While whispering, Ji Yuan blew out a breath lightly, and the red-grey true fire energy contained infinite mysterious yellow energy. At this moment, a blazing flame ignited on the white jade platform, and the mysterious golden glow rolled in it.
Everyone in Yuhuai Mountain watched nervously, fearing that the Samadhi Fire would burn the Imperial Sealing Talisman. However, the tension did not last long. After only half a quarter of an hour, the red-grey Samadhi Fire dissipated, revealing a golden scroll on the white jade table.
Ji Yuan looked at Yu Huaishan and the others again, then reached out and grabbed the scroll again, gently lifting it up.
"Boom boom boom..."
When the mountain-sealing talisman left the white jade stone, the entire Yuzhu Peak and even the entire Yuhuai Mountain began to shake violently, shocking all the disciples of Yuhuai Mountain, who had no idea what was happening.
Ji Yuan grabbed the Mountain Sealing Talisman in his left hand and looked around Yuhuai Mountain. He immediately realized that the Mountain Sealing Talisman was the cornerstone of Yuhuai Holy Land. If he took it away, the Yuhuai Holy Land might collapse.
At this moment, a wolf-hair brush slipped out of Ji Yuan's sleeve. With his magical power, the tip of the brush instantly turned golden. Then Ji Yuan picked up the brush and wrote four golden characters "Yu Huai Sheng Jing" on the white jade stone.
After these four words were spoken, the vibrations in Yuhuai Mountain gradually weakened and finally returned to calm.
"This mountain-sealing talisman has been taken away by Ji."
All the monks present at Yu Huaishan stared blankly at the golden talisman in Ji Yuan's hand. Some felt disappointed, some were excited, but they were speechless for a while.
Ji Yuan smiled and bowed to everyone.
"Thank you, Yu Huaishan, for your understanding of justice. Ji Yuan will take his leave now!"
The people of Yuhuai Mountain were still speechless and could only bow in return, watching Ji Yuan rise up into the wind and fly away from Yuzhu Peak.
After a long time, someone spoke.
“This, the talisman is gone…” “Ah!”
"What did Mr. Ji just write?" "Go and have a look!"
…
In the air outside Yuhuai Mountain, Xiezhi flew out again, stood beside Ji Yuan, and looked curiously at the golden talisman in Ji Yuan's hand.
"Wow, this thing is the Mountain Conferring Talisman. Can it confer a mountain deity?"
Xiezhi raised its head and looked at Ji Yuan.
"What if it doesn't work?"
"it works."
Ji Yuan just said this lightly without any other explanation. Xiezhi scratched his head and felt that Ji Yuan was a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Let me see?"
"No."
"If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. Who cares?"
The Xiezhi grinned and immediately became unhappy, but after a long time, he couldn't help but say another sentence as he looked at the scenery on the ground below that was constantly receding.
"Can't you just take a look, just weigh it?"
"no."
Ji Yuan refused outright and directly put the Mountain Sealing Talisman into his arms. He knew that putting it in his sleeve together with the Xiezhi scroll might not be able to ward off the Xiezhi.
"You... do you still have any trust? You make me feel very disappointed!"
Ji Yuan smiled and still spoke briefly.
"No."
Xiezhi suddenly felt a little itchy. He was completely helpless against Ji Yuan's occasional tricks. He could not scare him or beat him. But suddenly, he slowly raised his head and looked towards the sky. Ji Yuan did the same thing.
The sun was shining brightly in the southern part of the sky, but in the northern part they felt a strange feeling.
"This feeling seems familiar..."
"What does it feel like?"
Ji Yuan asked lightly, and Xiezhi lowered his head and looked at Ji Yuan.
"I felt the Ten Suns Hanging in the Sky back then, and now I have a similar feeling, although it's very mild."
Ji Yuan calmed his mind and concentrated, and there seemed to be a faint drum sound in his ears.
“Boom… Boom… Boom… Boom…”
"Did you hear that?"
When Ji Yuan asked this, Xiezhi was slightly stunned, then listened attentively. He was confused at first, and then his expression changed slightly.
"Could it be the Emperor's chariot? How is that possible! Even if there are remnants of the ancient heaven, they are blocked in the wilderness. How could they be outside the sky?"
Ji Yuan did not say anything, but just looked towards the sky in the direction of the sound. The drum sound and the faint golden-red light gradually faded away.
"Ji Yuan, Ji Yuan? You didn't react at all? I said it might be the Emperor of Heaven's chariot!"
"Yes, I heard you. Maybe you are right, but it is unlikely that Di Jun is sitting on it. At most, it is just a golden crow."
"What? You..."
Xiezhi stared at Ji Yuan with eyes wide open. Could this man be so careless? What do you mean it's just a golden crow at most
"Don't you think he's looking for something?"
"Ah? How did you know?"
Xiezhi was obviously stunned by Ji Yuan's unconventional thinking.
"What do you think he's looking for?"
"ah?"
Xiezhi suddenly felt like he had become stupid and could not keep up with Ji Yuan's thinking.
"Well, it's just a hunch. It's just a hunch. The Mountain Sealing Talisman is already in hand, but this talisman can be used directly."
Ji Yuan flew to Yunshan Temple on a cloud and no longer spoke to Xiezhi about the Golden Crow in the sky. The latter had tried to hint at it several times but to no avail, and he also did not see the imperial summons. Although he was unhappy, he could do nothing about it.
Not long after Ji Yuan arrived at Yunshan Temple, the galaxy formation that he had set up that year also appeared from the mountain that night, echoing with the stars in the sky, causing a brilliant galaxy to appear above the sea of clouds and fog.
The old main hall of Yunshan Temple became a forbidden area where Ji Yuan sat cross-legged. Apart from Ji Yuan, only the human god Huang Xingye sat cross-legged on the unfolded mountain-conferring talisman.
