Chapter 7: The Mountain of Demons

Isn't this just the passage describing Sun Wukong's Flower-Fruit Mountain at the beginning of "Journey to the West"? Could it be that I inadvertently found myself reborn in Sun Wukong's hometown?

"Third brother, the Flower-Fruit Mountain you mentioned is not a good place at all!" A voice of astonishment came from behind Mu Changsheng.

Mu Changsheng nodded, but suddenly he was taken aback. Dongsheng Shenzhou? He had actually been reborn in Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Lin Quan heard that Mu Changsheng remembered him as he ascended to the heavens, and did not forget to instruct everyone to take care of him. In that moment, he could not help but shed tears of sorrow.

... ...

The Taibai Jinxing and Mu Changsheng turned around and saw Gao Ming intently pushing aside the clouds, his two eyes fixed on the ground below.

That... Master Mu, I can understand your fear

The White Cloud summoned by the Venus Star descended at the feet of Master Mu Changsheng, and the Venus Star stood above it and said: "Young Master Mu, it is time for us to depart"

Suddenly, a clear passage of text was evoked in his mind by the four characters "Dongsheng Shenzhou", surfacing in his heart: "In the overseas region of Dongsheng Shenzhou, there is a land known as Aolai Country. The country is near the sea, and within the sea, there is a famous mountain called Huaguo Mountain..."

Mu Changsheng nodded, finally feeling a sense of security in his heart

Mu Changsheng, appearing nonchalant, reluctantly released his grip on the thigh of the Great Star of Taibai, his expression remarkably composed, as if the person who had just clung to someone else's thigh was not him at all

He then suppressed the sorrow in his heart and addressed the servants of the Mu residence, saying: "Although the young master has temporarily left the Mu residence for the heavens, this will always be his home on earth. We must take good care of the Mu residence, so that when the young master descends to the mortal realm, he will have a place to return to. Do you all remember this?"

If the people who knew the shepherd in his previous life were to see him in this state, they would surely laugh until they could not stand up, mocking him for having flown on a plane, only to be frightened into this state by a cloud.

The Tai Bai Jin Xing controlled the white clouds as they slowly ascended, while Mu Changsheng turned around to wave goodbye to Lin Quan and the others who were kneeling on the ground, and shouted loudly: "While I am away, you must take good care of the house, look after Lin Bo, and once I have settled in the heavens, I will return to see everyone again"

The Planetary Deity of Venus chuckled upon hearing this and explained, "However, to reach any continent, one must pass through the corresponding celestial gate, as this is more expedient. Since you are from the Eastern Victory Divine Continent, we shall naturally take the Eastern Celestial Gate."

Gao Ming cast a malicious glance at Mu Changsheng's trousers

I see now

Originally, this ability to ride the clouds was a wonderful thing, and many people wished to experience it but had no opportunity. However, once he stepped onto it, the clouds soared higher and higher, and he couldn't help but look down from the edge.

Gao Ming laughed and said, "You are a mortal, and there is nothing shameful about being afraid of this. Many mortals are not as good as you. I once heard of someone who fainted just from looking down, and there are also those who were so scared that they wet their pants... You are not getting up, could it be that you are also..."

Alright, Gao Ming, stop mocking Young Master Mu. Young Master Mu's courage is indeed extraordinary

The Planet Venus said with a bitter smile: "But... could you please not pinch my leg so hard?"

Nonsense

Mu Changsheng nodded slightly, stepping onto a white cloud. Gao Ming and Gao Jue then arrived behind the Taibai Jinxing, and beneath their feet, a white cloud appeared out of thin air, supporting both of them as they soared into the sky

Who is afraid!

And Mu Changsheng would roll his eyes and say: If you have the ability, don't wear a parachute, and don't take any protective measures; just go sit on top of the plane and take a spin before you talk about him

However, if someone were to look closely, they would notice that although Mu Changsheng is currently sitting cross-legged on the white clouds, his complexion appears slightly unnatural, and one of his hands is firmly gripping the thigh of the Grand Duke of Venus.

The Jade Emperor, in astonishment, then shook his head and said: "I truly am getting old and confused, almost forgetting that you are originally from the Eastern Victory Divine Continent. Indeed, there is a Flower-Fruit Mountain there."

At this moment, the shepherd Changsheng sat cross-legged on a white cloud, his white robe billowing in the gentle breeze, exuding an air of ethereal grace reminiscent of an immortal.

Then he touched a layer of something soft and bubble-like; when he poked it hard, surprisingly, it did not burst, but instead, his own finger hurt from the poke

Then Mu Changsheng asked again: "Senior, is there a country called Aolai overseas in the Eastern Victory Divine Continent, near which there is a famous mountain called Huaguo Mountain?"

After thanking the two individuals, Mu Changsheng addressed the crowd, saying: "Did you hear that? From now on, with my two brothers guarding the gate, no malevolent spirits or evil entities will be able to invade the Mu residence even a fraction. Our entire Mu family can rest easy from now on!"

The Planetary Deity of Venus smiled and said: "Young master, you need not be afraid, for knowing that you are a mortal, I have infused magical power around these clouds, so you will not fall down."

Not bad, you haven't wet your pants yet

Gao Ming withdrew his gaze and then looked at Mu Changsheng with a bitter smile, saying: "The Flower-Fruit Mountain you mentioned is a mountain of demons and monsters, filled with terrifying creatures. The mountains are teeming with wolves, insects, tigers, and leopards, with various demons gathering together, claiming the mountain as their own and wreaking havoc in the region"

At this moment, the most frustrated must be Young Master Mu.

The nearby Venus, Taibai, wore a look of helplessness, while Gao Ming and Gao Jue, who were following behind them, turned red in the face at the sight of this scene, appearing quite uncomfortable

Continuing, Mu Changsheng completely set his mind at ease, curiously observing the sky under the guidance of Gao Ming

"East Heavenly Gate?" Mu Changsheng was taken aback

Oh, how did you know that

Mu Changsheng knew that Gao Ming had ulterior motives, and he snorted, "I just had a bit too much to drink earlier, my stomach feels heavy, and I want to sit down and take a moment to recover"

Mu Changsheng hurriedly asked, "Elder brother, what did you see?"

Lin Quan looked at his own hair, now gray and white, which clearly showed signs of aging. He thought to himself: A day in the heavens is a year on earth. With the young master gone, it is likely that we will never meet again. Upon thinking of this, he could not help but feel a sense of melancholy.

"Why must you be so stubborn, Lao San?"

Gao Ming and Gao Jue waved their hands dismissively and smiled, saying: "Your son is already our third brother, so there is no need for everyone to worry."

Although he lived in the Mu residence for only seven days after arriving in this world, everyone in the Mu residence devoted themselves wholeheartedly to taking care of him during those seven days

Time slowly passed, and suddenly the Planet Venus said: "The Eastern Heavenly Gate is approaching, prepare to enter the Heavenly Court"

Then he felt a wave of dizziness, his calves cramped, and he nearly fell headfirst down. In fact, this could not be blamed on him, as he was currently at an altitude of over one hundred thousand meters above the ground.

Gao Ming noticed that Mu Changsheng's pants were dry, and couldn't help but nod in agreement

At this moment, the scenery on the ground has become a blur, with only the strong winds howling around the edges of the white clouds, and it is likely that any mortal who sees this would fare no better than he does

He was just about to raise his head to say something reassuring to the young master, but upon looking up, he realized that the figures of Mu Changsheng and Tai Bai Jinxing had long since vanished from the sky.

Especially in the case of Linquan, it can be said that the attention to detail is exceptional. Although he is not the original shepherd, this does not prevent him from feeling a sense of emotion in his heart.

Unlike now, where the strong wind howls in his ears, there are no safety measures on this cloud. He estimates that as soon as he stands up, he will be blown away by the wind. At that time, falling from such a height... he figures he will end up like the lyrics say: flying to the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the sun

Mu Chang stood up angrily and said: "You want to see? I will let you see to your heart's content"

Hahaha ... ...

The attendants of Linquan were also overjoyed, all kneeling down and exclaiming: "Thank you, esteemed immortals."

A joke, can this thing be compared to an airplane

It is important to understand that the airplane is fully enclosed, and the strong winds outside cannot penetrate inside. Additionally, there are many safety measures in place, such as seat belts.

Seeing that Mu Changsheng was clearly afraid, yet still insisted on putting on a brave front, Tai Bai Jin Xing and Gao Ming Gao Jue immediately burst into laughter, doubling over in amusement

As for the next match ... even Mu Changsheng himself could hardly dare to imagine it

Little Third, you may not be aware that there are four major entrances to the Heavenly Realm, corresponding to the four great continents of the Earth, which are the Eastern, Southern, Western, and Northern Heavenly Gates.

No problem

"Well, Third Brother, why don't you stand up... let me introduce you to the beautiful scenery in the sky?" Gao Ming said, suppressing a laugh.

Mu Changsheng did not believe it and reached out with one hand to touch the side

His demands are not high; that person does not need to be at his current altitude of over 100,000 meters. As long as he can take a stroll at an altitude of 10,000 meters, he guarantees that he will let them laugh to their heart's content, without retorting.

It is indeed the legendary act of seeking support from a powerful figure

Gao Ming explained: "To enter the Heavenly Court, these four heavenly gates are the necessary path. At the same time, these four heavenly gates are also the entrances for the deities of the Heavenly Court to descend to the mortal realm. Your second brother and I serve at the Southern Heavenly Gate"
