Chapter Four, Making a Mess of Things by Being Overly Clever.
In short, today I truly experienced the saying "The sage is not benevolent; all things are as straw dogs."
The golden palm shadow fiercely slapped on this person's body, but this person remained motionless, as if only being brushed by a gentle breeze, the hem of the robe swaying lightly...
No, something is suspicious!
The jade tripod on the side glanced at Yang Jian a few times, then looked at Yang Xiaochan, and said, "I'll exchange my treasure for Senior Brother's technique."
Manjushri was suddenly ashamed and angry, feeling inexplicably embarrassed by the young man in front of him...! Wait, no, he actually leaned forward and got slapped twice by the kid!
There is no need to show excessive respect when paying respects to a master. Little Chan also followed her brother and called out "Master" in a childish voice. It goes without saying that they received treasures from the Taiyi True Person.
Without waiting for Wenshu to react, Yang Jian, who was determined to join the Jade Cauldron Sect to learn the profound arts, began to plead desperately, "Immortal! Please take me to see Master Yuding! My sister and I have overcome countless difficulties and dangers to come to Kunlun Mountain, all to fulfill our mother's wish and seek refuge with Master Yuding!"
Yang Jian smiled slightly self-deprecatingly, exhaled, gently patted Xiaochan's back to comfort her, and also comforted his own rapidly beating heart.
This is the place where the sage's dojo is located, but these words cannot be spoken. Manjushri Bodhisattva turned and walked on the clouds, riding a green-haired lion only after leaving the cloud road of Kunlun Mountain, wandering around in the chaos... Finally, flew to a certain place in Xinuhezhou.
Kneeling on the ground, Yang Jian took a deep breath and cried out with a sobbing voice, "Master Yuding! Please save my mother! She is the third princess of the White Lotus in the Heavenly Court. She has been taken away by the Heavenly Court's people!"
Jade Ding fell silent, unable to recall when he had last seen this pair of siblings behind him...
It is said that after Wenshu departed from the ancient road, he did not fly too far away, but used his magical powers to conceal his figure and breath, watching the two big and two small figures on the ancient road from the clouds.
What else can Yang Jian do besides holding Yang Xiaochan tightly and using his own body to protect his sister? ... He seemed to feel the despair that Yang Tianyou felt before his death.
Why do I have a feeling that there is a deceitful merchant trying to take advantage of an honest person?
Do you want to find me?
Got, saved ?.
Yang Jian subconsciously held Xiao Chan'er tighter.
How could he show even a hint of anger at this moment? There is a sense of ethereal and faintness on him, as if the previous Wenshu's anger and shame were just a pretense.
What is the origin? Wenshu still couldn't swallow this anger. At this moment, he had already concluded that Taiyi and Yuding were joining forces to embarrass him. "What kind of origin is this? Why didn't Junior Brother mention it before? Why bring it up now!"
"Senior Brother, why do you have to be like this?" True Person Yuding said with a bitter smile, "I am most afraid of getting involved in cause and effect, yet you insist on causing trouble for me."
Originally, the name "Wenshu" also had the meaning of borrowing a donkey downhill, but unfortunately, there was a guy next to him who was not afraid of trouble.
Humph! Yuding, just now you said that this child would not compete with me. What, do you want to break your promise?
Jade Ding nodded calmly: "Hmm, no."
Congratulations to Junior Brother Yuding on finding a beloved disciple. Taiyi Immortal immediately shifted his gaze to Yang Chan'er and said, "This girl is quite impressive."
What remains of my face? How awkward it is!
Who is this handsome guy? Could he be surnamed Dongfang? Hmm, this is the primordial world, the primordial world...
Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! Interesting! Interesting!
On the side, Taiyi spoke a fair word, "Hey, he's just a disciple. Although his aptitude is not bad, it's not worth using harsh words against him, my two junior brothers."
Thank you, senior brother. Yu Ding smiled at Taiyi.
The wind changes, amidst the mist and fog, a handsome man appears by Yang Jian's side. This person has an outstanding appearance, with his robe flowing freely along with his long tied hair, leaning casually against the mountain wall, lightly laughing at Yang Jian and Xiao Chan'er, even raising an eyebrow.
Finally, I have paid my respects to this teacher; the big stone in my heart has finally settled down.
Hmph! Manjushri shook his sleeves and was about to leave, obviously today's matter was not yet resolved.
The fire of wisdom blazes, turning embarrassment into anger. With a cold face, he looks at Yang Jian, thinking, "Even if I gain a reputation for being ruthless and merciless, I cannot be ridiculed by others." He raises his hand and slaps Yang Jian!
Hold on, senior brother.
Oh, have you become a popular item yourself?
Yang Jian was unaware that two others were watching from the clouds. If he had encountered Manjusri alone, perhaps these words would have convinced him to help and sell a favor to Yu Ding, sending them to meet the true person of Yu Ding.
Yang Jian looked up and could only see a broad back, which shielded him from the palm shadows coming towards him and also blocked the glaring sunlight.
Yu Ding bowed and said, "Senior Brother, just now you also heard that I have some connection with this young man. At first, I only saw his auspicious aura and deep blessings, but did not calculate his background. The palm strike just now should have made up for his offense against Senior Brother."
On the mountain road, Taiyi Zhenren acted as a witness, watching Yang Jian bowing under the door of Yuding Zhenren, causing great sighs.
Yang Jian's mind was blank, but he had imprinted something in his heart... The Daoist who turned to look at himself had a faint smile on his lips.
O Great Sage of the Highest Unity, your sarcastic words are filled with the mysteries of Yin and Yang: "Venerable Manjusri, it seems that indeed we have misunderstood each other. The arising and ceasing of karma cannot be forced, alas."
Yang Jian opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't speak; Yang Xiaochan in his arms was frightened by the ferocious green lion and sudden attack of Manjusri, and burst into tears with her eyes closed.
The palm wind condenses like golden light, capable of splitting mountains and breaking peaks!
Oh?'' Yuding turned around and looked at Yang Jian, calculating with his fingers, and sighed: "I already know about your mother's situation. Let's talk first. Back then, I also gave guidance to your mother's cultivation, but I never expected her to encounter such a mishap."
Staring up at the back in front of me, is this the True Person Yu Ding I'm looking for...? Is it really him?
Is this the ... ... chaos?
It must have been the mischievous Taiyi who instigated Yuding to act recklessly, deliberately using this as an opportunity to save face.
Oh, mortal.
And Yang Jian on the side also breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to express his gratitude and say, "Thank you, Master Brother," but then he remembered how he had overstepped his bounds when facing Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun. He silently warned himself not to do anything unnecessary and obediently stood behind his master, holding Xiao Chan'er's hand.
Manjushri: ... ....
Yang Jian's face instantly lost its color, subconsciously hugging his sister tightly, his eyes ashen, time seemed to stand still, and a myriad of emotions surged in his heart...
