As soon as Taoist Priest Chang Feng said this, the hall fell silent. Everyone looked at their sect master with a dumbfounded expression. However, the three people beside Chang Feng and Qing Yuan were calm, as if they had already known the result. Shou Zheng, who was facing Changfeng, smiled and said,""Sect Leader Senior Brother, you always like to be mysterious. Since you have already decided to take her in, why should I be so worried?”At that moment, the little girl Han Yu looked at these people and felt a warmth in her heart. She firmly remembered their kindness.
Everyone was silent for a long time. Among them, Xuan Mu, a senior disciple with white hair and black eyebrows, who was wearing an indigo Taoist robe, seemed to have not understood Chang Feng's meaning. He walked up and said with a solemn expression,"Martial Uncle Sect Leader, how is it compared to Martial Uncle Shouzheng if you personally receive the teachings? If it really doesn't work out, I, as your Martial Nephew, am willing to help you relieve your worries.”
As soon as Xuan Mu appeared, some senior disciples behind him also wanted to take Han Yu in. Changfeng saw this and shook his head. He smiled and sighed, then turned to Shou Zhengdao and said,"Junior brother, now do you understand why I'm deliberately mystifying things?”
At this moment, Shou Zheng knew that Changfeng was testing people, so he nodded solemnly and did not say anything else.
Chang Feng stroked his long beard and looked at the noisy crowd in the hall. He asked knowingly,"Silence! Just now, when this old man gave up his beloved disciple, you all made excuses. Now that this old man has said that he wants to take her as his disciple, you all are fighting to be the first.”
Everyone looked at each other, and some lowered their heads and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Changfeng opened his bright eyes and said with certainty,"For thousands of years, Mount Shu has been benevolent and righteous. How can we only care about personal interests?”As he spoke, he waved his sleeve and pointed at Han Yu."This child, she met me when she was in danger, which means that I have a master and disciple relationship with her. Moreover, the person who caused her parents to die is my senior brother.”Changfeng said, his eyes flashing with a glimmer of light. He put his hand back to his chest and stroked his long beard.
Hearing Changfeng's words, everyone felt ashamed and reasonable, so they nodded in agreement.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Chang Feng turned to Qing Yuan, who was beside the little girl, and said,""Qingyuan, bring my disciple here."
"Yes, Master." Grand Elder Qing replied, then turned to Han Yu and whispered,""Let's go."
Han Yu nodded obediently and followed Qing Yuan to Changfeng in silence. She knelt on the ground with her head lowered and her eyebrows locked. She placed her hands in front of her as if she was thinking about something.
Changfeng didn't know what Han Yu was thinking about, so he asked her kindly and gently,"Child, can I be your master?”
Hearing this, the little girl felt a lot of emotions. Her parents were dead, and it was Changfeng who saved her. It was Changfeng who cared for her, and it was also Changfeng who took care of her. Now that this old man wanted to take her as a disciple, how could she not be grateful? As she thought about it, Han Yu lowered her head fiercely and pressed her small fists tightly on her knees. Her closed beautiful eyes were faintly filled with tears. After a moment, she raised her head and called out to Changfeng,"Master ~!"
"Hehehe." Chang Feng looked at the girl who had a soft appearance and a firm heart. He stroked his white beard and went forward to help the girl up. He said peacefully,"Child, from now on, I will be your master, and Mount Shu will be your second home. I hope that when you succeed in the future, you will not forget to eliminate evil and maintain righteousness.”As he spoke, Changfeng grabbed Han Yu's soft little hand and introduced the people beside her one by one.
He first pointed at the black-robed, slovenly old man and said,""His name is Qingxuan, and he joined me the earliest. He's now working under my junior brother Shouzhen, and he's your eldest senior brother.”
At this moment, Han Yu only sincerely wanted to get along with them. When she heard her master's introduction, she immediately greeted Eldest Brother respectfully and politely,"Hello, Eldest Senior Brother."
The Eldest Brother was quite casual. He only smiled and said,""Hello, Junior Sister. Hello, Junior Sister. Hahaha.”
Then, Changfeng pointed at Qingyuan and introduced,""This disciple of mine is the second to join the sect. You know his exact identity.”
Han Yu nodded and said to Qing Yuan,""Hello, Second Senior Brother."
Then, Changfeng pointed at the disciple in green and said,""His name is Qing Mu, ranked fourth among his disciples. He is one of the elite disciples guarding Mount Shu.”
Han Yu originally wanted to ask why there was no third brother, but after thinking about it, she guessed that her third senior brother or third senior sister had passed away or had been expelled from the sect, so she did not ask such a question. She only opened her clear and flowing eyes and said to Qing Mu,"Hello, Fourth Senior Brother."
Fourth Brother was quite chivalrous, so he laughed loudly and said,""Good to meet you too, Junior Sister."
In the end, Changfeng placed his hand on the shoulder of the handsome youth and said to Han Yu,""This child is also an orphan I took in a few years ago. His Daoist name is Qingye, and he's about two or three years older than you.”
Han Yu stared at the youth carefully and felt that he was very close to him. She said,"Hello, Senior Brother."
It was rare for a girl to call him senior brother at his age. He felt a little smug and smiled at his senior brothers."Senior brothers, I'm no longer a junior brother! Look, isn't there a little junior sister now?”
Qing Yuan smiled slowly and said to Qing Ye earnestly,""Since you know that she is your junior sister, you must take good care of her in the future and act like a senior brother, understand?”
The young man nodded his head heavily, his handsome eyes slightly firm as he said,""Yes, I will definitely protect her well, hehe.”
Everyone present nodded and smiled. Perhaps they had some praise and expectations for this youth's promise.
Following that, Chang Feng introduced the elders present to Han Yu one by one. Other than the youngest Shou Zheng, there were also the three elders Yuan Yun, Yuan Yi, and Shou Zhen present. Elder Yunyuan was the Zhenwu Elder of Mount Shu. He was different from the others in that he was in charge of internal affairs and external affairs. He usually forged swords in the Sword Tower. When he was free, he would also go to the martial arts practice field to give pointers to his disciples. His hair was white, his eyebrows were sharp, his eyes were mighty, and his forehead was deep. The red Evil Extermination Sword on his back had killed countless evil spirits. However, what caught Han Yu's attention the most was his red Taoist robe. As for Elder Yuan Yi, Qing Yuan had mentioned him before. He and Yuan Yun were from the same sect as Immortal Taisu of Mount Shu and were Immortal Soul Elders of Mount Shu. They usually stayed in the elixir room to make elixirs and only left the elixir room when there was something important to discuss. He wore a light blue robe and his chubby figure attracted Han Yu's attention. As the Immortal Soul Elders had always been good at taking care of their Immortal Soul, Yuan Yi looked like a middle-aged man in his forties with a fair face. If he didn't mention his 300-year-old age, Many people probably thought that he was even younger than Shouzheng. As for Elder Shouzhen, he was also a disciple of the Celestial Chi Elder, Immortal Taihe, along with Shouzheng. He was over 300 years old and wore a black Daoist robe. He was emaciated but did not smile. His tense face made Han Yu shudder. It was such a person who shouldered the responsibility of cultivating the heart of the entire Mount Shu. He was Elder Lü De.
After Changfeng introduced the elders one by one, there was not much to do. Changfeng only gave a few words to the elders and then dispersed. After everyone left, only Chang Feng and the other six disciples were left in Taiji Palace. At this time, Qing Yuan remembered something and said to Chang Feng,""Oh right, Master, I was talking to Junior Sister just now and found out that she has an older brother.”
"His name is…Han Ye?" Chang Feng looked at his disciple with a leisurely look in his eyes.
Qing Yuan was stunned for a moment before nodding and smiling."So Master already knows."
"Haha." Chang Feng stroked his long beard and smiled with his bright eyes."How could I not know? Han Feng has a son and a daughter. The daughter is now in our sect, but the son is still in the hands of the King of Hell.”
"The King of Hell?" Qing Mu frowned and said to his master,""That doesn't seem like a good thing…Why don't we help Junior Sister save her brother and bring him back to Mount Shu?”
When Han Yu heard Senior Brother Qing Mu's words, she quickly nodded at the thought of seeing her brother again.
Changfeng did not agree. Instead, he slightly closed his white eyebrows, stroked his long beard, and said to his disciples,"I have considered this before, but I asked my martial uncle. That King of Hell is Junior Brother Changkong's personal disciple. He was used by evil people and fell into a boundless sea of suffering.”After saying that, Chang Feng sighed again and looked at Yun Tian outside Taiji Palace."When Junior Brother Changkong was alive, he couldn't reform his bad disciples. This time, Han Ye and the King of Hell are accompanying each other. It's also fate…We don't have to look for them in the future.”
Han Yu did not understand the meaning of Changfeng's words. She only knew that he did not intend to pick up Han Ye. She could not help but frown and grab Changfeng's gray sleeve, begging him,""Master, my brother is alone outside. Didn't you say that kindness is the foundation? Please help him…"
"I will help him, but the time has not come yet.”Changfeng sighed." His fate is different from yours. You will be peaceful before you reach adulthood. You will be easily found by the sky, so you can't leave the mountain for the time being. Before he became an adult, he tended to wander around and was difficult to find by the long sky. Moreover, he still had an unsolved fate with the King of Hell, so he could not go up the mountain for the time being. However, I can tell you that although you and your sister won't be able to meet for a few years, you will meet here.”
Han Yu opened her delicate and pretty eyes, but she found her master's words obscure and difficult to understand.
Qingxuan, who did not seem to care about his appearance but had a unique wisdom in his heart, knew that these fates were calculated by the Celestial Chi Elder, the Immortal Taihe. There must be a reason for it. He smiled and comforted Han Yu,"I say, Junior Sister, don't worry. Master said that your brother will be fine, so he will definitely be fine. Instead of worrying about him, why not cultivate diligently before he comes here?”
Although Han Yu was still worried, her senior brothers and master would not let her go down the mountain. She could not refuse and could only nod obediently.
Changfeng looked at Han Yu and said earnestly,""After you join my sect, you belong to the 'Qing' generation and your Daoist name is 'Qingyu'. In a few days, I will have my Martial Uncle register you in the name list and you will be an official disciple of Mount Shu.”As he spoke, he indifferently said to Han Yu's senior brothers around him,"Remember to take good care of your junior sister.”
"Yes, sir!" Qingxuan, Qingyuan, Qingmu, and Qingye replied in unison.
As the master and disciple talked, the sky gradually darkened. Changfeng took his disciples out of the palace gate and went down the stairs. He seemed to be very relieved about everything that happened after that. Han Yu walked at the back and stopped slightly, looking at the last ray of sunset in the sky. The clouds were reflected in the dark red setting sun, and a few lonely cranes beside the clouds hurried to their nests. In the distance, they could faintly hear the bell ringing from the Peak of Reflection."Big brother…I'm at Mount Shu now, but where are you? We still have Sister Meng. When can we meet again?”
Han Yu was very confused about the future, but she could only follow her master and senior brother and take one step at a time…
At the same time, in a forest far away from Mount Shu.
"Achoo!" Han Ye sneezed inexplicably and wiped his nose with his index finger. Then, he continued to enjoy the delicious roasted wild boar meat by the fire. At the same time, he did not forget to complain to the King of Hell,""I've been eating pheasants and wild boars for the past ten days. I'm almost tired of them! I want to eat fish!"
Reaper Yama, who had changed into civilian attire, took a sip of wine and said impatiently,""A little brat is a little brat. There's not even a pond or stream nearby. Where can I catch fish for you? Stop nagging!"
The little boy was most afraid that the demon would be angry, so he buried his head and carefully chewed on the roasted meat in his hand. After chewing for a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked the demon,"Hey, where are we going next?”
The demon recalled the towns and villages they had passed through these days and thought about the route and direction they should take. After a long time, he said,""We should be able to reach Handan in a day or two.”
"Handan?" The little boy put down the food in his hand in surprise and said,"I heard from father that that place is in the north! We've reached the north in just ten days. Aren't we walking too fast?”
"You call this fast?" The demon rolled his eyes at the little boy and said unhappily,""If it weren't for you, I would have arrived at Handan from the Howling Sword Hall in two or three days.”
The demon was right. Usually, he was fast, but now he had to slow down to take care of Han Ye.
The demon looked at the night sky. There were no clouds in the night sky, and the stars were shining. The moon was also silently climbing up into the sky. It was getting late. Considering that there was still a long way to go tomorrow, the demon glanced at the little boy and said coldly,""Little brat, go to bed early after eating. If you perform well these few days, I'll treat you to fish when we reach Handan.”
"Really?" When the little boy heard that he could change his taste, he quickly turned his head to look at the demon. However, when he saw the demon's ashen black face, he lowered his head and said dejectedly,"Forget it. You've never bought me anything to eat. You must be lying again!”As he spoke, the little boy thought of the Howling Sword Hall, the eastern courtyard he lived in, the delicacies he ate, his parents, his sister, and Yun Meng. Finally, he frowned and felt a lump in his throat. Tears flowed down his delicate face.
The demon was a little sad after being teased by the little boy. He originally wanted to stop this annoying crying, but the words that were about to come out of his mouth were retracted. This demon who had killed countless people only remained silent for a moment before he took a sip of wine. His brows furrowed as he told Han Ye vividly,""Sigh, I really miss Handan. The Crisp Bone Fish there is really amazing. The Crisp Bone Fish looked like a fish, but when eaten, its bones were crispy and tender. The fish meat was fragrant and fresh. He ate it from head to tail, from the bones to the bones, without wasting anything. Not only that, the fresh and delicious taste seeped into the fish bones. Hmm, now that he thought about it, he still felt that the aftertaste was endless.”The demon spoke with great interest, occasionally glancing at the little boy at the side. The little boy stopped crying as he listened, but he just stared at the demon without blinking. His clear eyes were filled with tears, and he smacked his small mouth twice as if he was very interested. The demon had already seen these actions, so he asked knowingly,""Little brat, what's wrong? Do you want to eat fish?"
Han Ye looked at the demon and nodded hopefully.
The demon didn't immediately respond to Han Ye. He just took a sip of wine and let out a pleasant sigh. Then, he pointed to the ground beside the bonfire and said to Han Ye,""Then go there and sleep. I still have to teach you martial arts tomorrow.”
Han Ye didn't know if he should believe the demon's words, so he just replied with an " oh ", then turned to the side of the fire and closed his eyes to sleep.
" Strange…" The demon used his hand to hook the string on the wine bag and squinted to observe Han Ye."There are many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the forest. The little brat has been outside for so long, but why does he sleep so soundly every time? Had he never been bitten by poisonous insects before?”The demon thought for a while, but then suddenly understood."That's right. He was born in a prestigious family, so it's not strange for him to carry a rare treasure that can repel insects.”Thinking of this, the demon stopped probing. He just calculated the next journey. This calculation lasted until late at night. The demon was tired. He sat cross-legged beside the fire and closed his eyes to circulate his cultivation.
The demon was resting, but Han Ye woke up from his dream because he had just had a nightmare. In the dream, his relatives died one after another, leaving him alone in the world. The feeling was very lonely and depressing. Time was like a bottomless abyss, desperately devouring his small body. The endless pain brought the boy back to reality from his dream.
Han Ye opened his eyes. There was a bonfire in front of him. Since there was no firewood, the fire had become very dim, and the faint light was like the flickering candlelight on a certain night. In the candlelight, there was a beautiful little face smiling at him.
Yun Meng, are you alright?
Suddenly, Han Ye thought of the jade pendant that she had given him. It had been hanging around his neck all this time, so he took the jade pendant from his arms and gently stroked the faint lines on the white jade. When he thought of the Howling Sword Hall and Green Mountain, tears kept rolling in his eyes. "I will definitely come back." The little boy held the jade pendant tightly in his hand. His eyebrows were furrowed, but his eyes were filled with sorrow and determination.
In the quiet night, a little boy was sitting by the fire, holding a white jade pendant in his hand. Tears stained his face, but no one could share his thoughts...
