"Master, this mountain is so high! And it's so steep. How are we going to go up?”Smiling, he raised his head and looked at the stone wall in front of him that stood like a mirror. There was no place to stand for hundreds of feet.
Han Zhitian smiled and said to Han Xiao on his back,""Xiao 'er, didn't you say that your master's wife and I are immortals? Then I'll let you experience the methods of immortals.”
After saying that, Han Zhitian tapped his feet on the ground and rose into the air. With a leap of ten feet, he tapped on the stone wall and rose into the air again. Han Xiao felt as if he was riding on the clouds on his master's back. The cold wind on the mountain blew against his face, and he did not dare to move an inch on his master's back. Looking to the side, he saw that Master's wife was not like his master. Master's wife was like a butterfly shuttling through the clouds, or like a leaf flying in the wind, gently fluttering and scattering. However, his speed was not slow. He followed closely behind his master.
After a meal, Han Xiao felt his master's shoulder stop. Then, Han Zhitian was standing on a flat ground. Ye Shuangyue was like a leaf, landing beside Han Zhitian. Before Han Xiao could look at the surroundings, he heard someone shouting from afar," Dad! Mother! You're back!"
Han Xiao looked up and saw a girl running over from afar. She was about the same age as him. She was wearing an emerald green blouse with a white embroidered skirt and a pair of wavy shoes. Her snow-white skin was as pink as a ripe peach. Her big eyes were filled with tears as she ran toward Ye Shuangyue and Han Zhitian.
"Linglong!" Ye Shuangyue saw her daughter running toward her, so she called out to her and picked her up.
Linglong hugged her mother's neck tightly and cried,""Why did you guys take so long to come back? I missed you so much, Mother!”
At this moment, Han Zhitian put down Han Xiao and walked up with a smile,""Oh! It seems that my good daughter only misses her mother and doesn't miss me, her father. Sigh! I think I should go down the mountain." He pretended to be heartbroken.
Exquisite raised her head and saw her father's expression. She burst out laughing and crawled out of her mother's arms again. She hugged Han Zhitian's neck and said coquettishly,"No? Linglong misses daddy too. Did daddy bring any gifts for Linglong this time?”
"Hehe, a gift? I didn't bring it for you, but I brought you something better than a gift.”As he said that, Han Zhitian put down Exquisite and turned around to call out to Han Xiao,""Xiao 'er, come here. This is my daughter, your junior sister.”Then, he said to Ling Long," My dear daughter, there will be someone on the mountain to play with you in the future. This is the disciple that your mother and I took in at the foot of the mountain. His name is Han Xiao. He will be your senior brother in the future. Don't bully him."”
Exquisite looked at Han Xiao curiously and stood beside him. She gestured to him and asked,""How old are you this year?"
Han Xiao looked at the face in front of him and took two steps back in embarrassment. He whispered,"I…I don't know either. Big…Probably…"
"Oh, I see. How is it probably? Then you should probably call me senior sister.”Then, she waved her little hand and said,"It's decided. Just call me senior sister. Little junior brother…"
Ye Shuangyue smiled at her daughter and said to Ling Long,""Don't bully Xiao 'er, Ling Long.”
Ling Long turned around and pouted at her mother.""I didn't. He doesn't even know how old he is. Maybe I'm older than him.”Then, he turned to Han Xiao and said,"Don't you think so, Junior Brother?"”
Han Xiao lowered his head and said,""Probably, Senior Sister."
"En! Good girl." "If any ignorant little animals bully you on the mountain in the future, I'll help you vent your anger." Ling Long patted her chest and said.”
"Oh." Han Xiao scratched his head. He still hadn't figured out what kind of animal would bully him.
At this moment, Han Zhitian took two steps forward and said to a white-haired old man beside him,""We'll have to trouble you when we go down the mountain, Uncle Zhong.”
The old man called Uncle Zhong had a head full of white hair tied up behind his head. Although his face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were shining brightly. Dressed in a gray robe and a pair of sandals, he had a smile on his face and looked peaceful. "It's nothing, it's good that you're back." Uncle Zhong chuckled.”
Ye Shuangyue went up to Uncle Zhong and greeted him.""Did Ling Long give you any trouble, Uncle Zhong?”
Uncle Zhong smiled and said,"No." I just miss you very much. You've been out for a long time this time, so I can't help but miss you a little. For the past half a month, Ling Long has asked me to accompany her here and wait for you guys to come back.”
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Zhong. Let's go back." Han Zhitian cupped his fists.”After saying that, Han Zhitian called out to Exquisite and Han Xiao, who were talking beside him, and walked towards the other side of the platform. It turned out that the platform on the mountain was about four to five acres in size. This was not where Han Zhitian and the others lived. Due to the clouds and fog on the mountain, they could not see clearly when they came up. When they walked to the other side of the platform, there were steps that appeared. They had to continue climbing up the mountain.
Just like that, everyone continued to climb for about two hours before they reached the end of the stairs. What entered their sight was a vast land of dozens of acres. On the side of the mountain, there were a few houses facing the south. There were also a few rooms on both sides. The mountain wall behind the house was covered with vines and grass, and all kinds of flowers were blooming. Looking around, they passed through the clouds halfway up the mountain. The sunlight shone on the mountain like flowing water. In the surrounding sea of clouds, the mountains were like reefs floating on the calm sea. The boundless sea of clouds gave people the feeling of being in a fairyland.
As soon as they came up, Han Xiao was stunned by the beautiful scenery around him. Looking at Han Xiao's dazed appearance, Exquisite giggled and pulled Han Xiao towards the largest courtyard. As they walked, she told Han Xiao about the layout of the courtyard on the shore.
The courtyard facing south was the main courtyard. Although it was called a courtyard, it was actually not very big. In the middle of the courtyard was a main hall, and Han Zhitian, his wife, and Exquisite lived in the back hall. There were several small courtyards near the west side of this courtyard. Uncle Zhong lived in one of them. To the east was the kitchen. The rest of the courtyards were built by Han Zhitian and Uncle Zhong when they were expanding the platform. That was why there were so many houses and so few people. It was obvious that Han Zhitian had put in a lot of effort into this place. The only things left were a quiet room for cultivation and a secret cave for the couple to cultivate in.
Han Xiao followed Exquisite and looked at the tables and chairs in the courtyard. His heart felt warm. This was the place where he would live in the future. He had a home. From his memories, he finally had a concept of home. Although Han Xiao was young, he had suffered a lot since the beginning of his memory. He had also experienced life and death separation from his loved ones, so his mind matured much earlier. Seeing everything around him, Han Xiao secretly made up his mind to be filial to his master and mistress, to learn his skills well, and not let them down.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Han Xiao, Han Zhitian, his wife, and Senior Sister Ling Long sat at the dining table in the main hall, preparing to eat. Seeing Uncle Zhong busy himself, Han Xiao wanted to go to the kitchen to help Uncle Zhong, but Uncle Zhong chased him out. He said that tonight was different from the other day and asked them not to interfere. Just like that, the four of them, with eight pairs of eyes staring at Uncle Zhong, busied themselves.
Uncle Zhong quickly made a few dishes and a pot of wine. When Uncle Zhong brought the last dish to the table, Ling Long couldn't help but say,"Uncle Zhong, hurry up. Linglong is starving.”
Uncle Zhong smiled and looked at Ling Long,"Good, that's good. Linglong, wait a moment.”Then, he turned to Han Xiao and said," Xiao 'er, Zhitian said that you've already taken on a master at the foot of the mountain. Why don't you toast to your master? It'll be considered as officially becoming a disciple of Zhitian Sect. Linglong and I can also witness it. How about it?"”
Uncle Zhong gave Han Xiao a very strange feeling. He said that he was a butler, but he didn't look like one. He looked more like a servant, but his master and his wife were very respectful to Uncle Zhong. After Han Xiao heard Uncle Zhong's words, he quickly stood up and picked up the wine glass that Uncle Zhong handed over. He moved aside and knelt down at Han Zhitian, saying,""Master, please accept my bow!”
Han Zhitian smiled as he took the wine glass and downed it in one gulp. He placed the glass in front of him and said,""Good! Good! Han Xiao, get up. Let's eat. Hehe, don't let Linglong starve.”
Just like that, dinner passed amidst Han Zhitian's laughter, Exquisite's coquettishness, and Uncle Zhong's food for Exquisite and Han Xiao.
After dinner, Uncle Zhong put away the bowls and chopsticks. The family sat at the table and drank tea. Han Zhitian called Han Xiao over and looked at him,""Xiao 'er, from now on, you will be my disciple, and very possibly my only disciple. I don't have any rules, but there's one thing I'll only say once. You must remember it! Rape and plunder, you are not allowed to do anything! Remember, as a person, you must be upright and upright. You don't need the world's approval, but you need to have a clear conscience. Do you remember that?”
Han Zhitian's expression turned serious as he spoke. Han Xiao looked up at Han Zhitian and said firmly,""Yes, disciple will remember!"
Han Zhitian nodded and said cheerfully,""Go with Uncle Zhong and let him prepare a room for you. Have a good night's sleep and master will think about how to teach you in the future.”
Uncle Zhong happily brought Han Xiao to the west side of the platform. There was a small courtyard with two houses in it. Uncle Zhong pointed to the left and said," Xiao 'er, you'll be staying here from now on. I've already taken the blanket for you. I'll help you buy a few more clothes later. Rest early. Your master still has to teach you something tomorrow."”
"Thank you, Uncle Zhong." Han Xiao bowed to Uncle Zhong.”
Lying on the bed, Han Xiao stared at the ceiling with his eyes wide open. Moonlight poured down from the window like water. Probably because they were on the mountain, the moon seemed especially big and round without the cover of clouds. The stars in the sky seemed as if they could be picked up by raising their hands. Han Xiao felt as if he was dreaming these few days. He fell asleep as he thought about it.
"Ah!"
With a clear cry, Han Xiao sat up in shock, his forehead covered in cold sweat. He had just dreamed of the tea shop old man's wide open eyes. Behind those eyes, there seemed to be a raging fire, and behind the fire, there seemed to be countless heads rolling.
Han Xiao shook his head and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He looked up at the moonlight outside the window and wondered who he was. Han Xiao thought for a while and felt dizzy. Han Xiao suddenly laughed to himself." Who cares who he is? He will find out one day. Anyway, he's fine now. It's better to go to bed early. I have to wake up early tomorrow."”
Thinking of this, Han Xiao fell asleep.
