Chapter 377
Second Heavenly Tribulation
Nine Dragon Veins?
Zhou Sheng was quite surprised to hear what Master Zhang said.
I originally thought that the Nine Dragon Veins were just a scheme set up by the Imperial Tutor Liu Bowen, but now it seems that it is not that simple.
"Gathering these nine dragon veins will not only help you understand the answer to this question, but will also greatly help your personal cultivation, and may even... determine your future destiny."
After saying this, Zhang Sanfeng waved his hand, signaling Zhou Sheng not to ask any more questions, and that he would not answer any more.
"Now that this matter is settled, the old Taoist is preparing to leave with the monkey. He has remembered some things from his past life and it is time for him to focus on his cultivation. Otherwise, if he loses his way, even if he is a reincarnated immortal, he will still sink into delusion and waste his spiritual energy."
"Master Zhang, it seems Brother Monkey has just gone out to play. Would you like to wait a little longer—"
"play?"
Master Zhang smiled mysteriously, raised the sleeve of his right hand, and said with a smile, "This monkey is having a great time playing in this old Taoist's sleeve right now."
Zhou Sheng paused, and a great supernatural power immediately came to mind—the Universe in the Sleeve.
It seems that when Monkey King flew off to play on his somersault cloud, he had already unknowingly fallen into Zhang Zhenren's trap.
He was once again astonished by Zhang Zhenren's supernatural powers.
"That's true. Given Monkey King's personality, if you were to suggest taking him on a training journey, he would probably be a hundred times unwilling. So, he has no choice."
After figuring it out, Zhou Sheng laughed again.
Monkey King is naturally unruly and pursues freedom and unrestraint. However, following Zhang Sanfeng to cultivate Taoism would definitely be dull and boring. If some tricks are not used, he would probably run away immediately.
Now, once Monkey King is done playing and comes out, he'll already be in Zhang Zhenren's cave, and there's no escaping him anymore.
"And this little monkey..."
Zhang Sanfeng glanced at the red thread. The little girl had turned herself into a little golden man and was now figuring out how to use herself to buy things.
After all, gold is very expensive.
"She obtained part of the innate stone body and cultivated many of the great saints' supernatural powers, which is quite interesting and may be worthy of being sculpted."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Sheng's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately pressed the red thread to make her kneel down and kowtow.
"Boss, are you trying to play a kowtowing game with me?"
Hongxian excitedly suggested, "How about this, I'll kowtow once to you, and you kowtow ten times to me. After an hour, we'll switch roles and see who gives up first!"
"You're planning to give up and quit in an hour, right?"
Zhou Sheng directly pointed out her little scheme, then, with a dark expression, pointed at Zhang Sanfeng and said, "Call me Master!"
"not called!"
Hongxian tilted her little face up and pouted, saying, "I, Zhao Hongxian, am not a casual person."
He is an Eighth Tribulation Earth Immortal.
"hehe."
"He is the founder of Wudang."
"Humph."
"His family has an endless supply of candied fruit."
"Master, please accept my bow!"
Hongxian's voice was exceptionally loud, and his eyes were piercing as he stared at Zhang Sanfeng as if he were looking at a rare treasure.
"Haha, you two are quite amusing."
Zhang Sanfeng stretched out his hand, and a handful of candied fruit actually appeared, which he handed to Hongxian.
"Thank you, grandpa!"
Her mouth was practically watering; she even remembered what the boss had taught her: when you receive a favor, you should say thank you.
In the blink of an eye, she finished eating and reached out her hand longingly, asking, "Grandpa, is there any more?"
Zhang Sanfeng was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Yes, yes, plenty!"
Candied fruit reappeared in his hand. Every time Hongxian ate a little, it would immediately replenish itself, like an endless mountain of candied fruit.
Eat slowly, no rush.
Looking at the gluttonous red thread, Zhang Sanfeng couldn't help but smile with a loving expression.
Wudang Mountain, kitchen. The Taoist priest who wanted to cook porridge for his disciples opened the storeroom door and was stunned by what he saw.
No, I just came down from the mountain yesterday and bought such a huge pile of candied fruit.
Wudang Mountain... has been robbed?
……
The sun sets and the moon rises; two more days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the bright moon, Zhou Sheng couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
Jinse is gone, and Hongxian and Monkey King have been taken away by Zhang Sanfeng. He sighed softly, recalling how the little girl clung to his leg and cried before she left.
When they're around, their constant chatter is annoying, but why does it feel so lonely after they leave?
Fortunately, he had a beautiful woman by his side.
Yao Taifeng accompanied him to admire the moon and laughed, "You're so stubborn. If you can't bear to part with someone, why send them away in the first place?"
"Now that's settled, besides me, no one else is willing to keep an eye on you, you old man."
"What little old man?"
Zhou Sheng glared at her.
Yao Taifeng reached out and stroked Zhou Sheng's brow, sighing, "I don't know what you and Master Zhang talked about, but you've been frowning these past few days. Your once handsome face is now turning into that of an old man."
Hearing this, Zhou Sheng finally understood that his feelings could actually be sensed by those closest to him.
"We've already overcome such a difficult challenge as the City of the Wrongfully Dead, so what's there to be afraid of?"
Yao Tai Feng smiled, instantly brightening Zhou Sheng's mood.
"Through wind and rain, I'll be with you."
puff!
Zhou Sheng couldn't help but laugh. She used these words quite skillfully after hearing them come from her own mouth.
"What are you laughing at!"
She extended a finger and lightly lifted Zhou Sheng's chin, her eyes revealing an indescribable allure.
"Only the Buddha Mother is allowed to call me 'elder sister,' so why can't I? Or is it that..."
"You like your older sister to be a little more assertive..."
Zhou Sheng's eyes burned with passion. He stood up and picked her up in his arms. He used too much force and even lost one of his embroidered shoes. His silk stockings were also half-undone and hung on her slender, moist, snow-white lotus feet.
"Put it down quickly, there are still people in the city..."
Tan Sheng, Yu Zhensheng, and Yu Tianheng are all in the city. Although they are far away from here and difficult to see, it is still too shameful.
Zhou Sheng looked at Yao Tai Feng, who was now much more docile, nestled in his arms, and smiled faintly.
"Go to the sea."
"Ok?"
Before Yao Taifeng could react, he had already jumped into the Dark Sea with the other person in his arms. Under the cover of the black water and the sound of the waves, a "battle" quietly broke out.
……
Since their last heart-to-heart talk, Zhou Sheng has stopped thinking about those messy things and instead enjoys the present moment, spending time with his loved ones.
The two traveled around, practiced singing and dancing, and their diving skills improved by leaps and bounds.
Until a loud roar shattered this peaceful life.
Yu Zhensheng said, "I have left the pass."
Nearly half of his once white hair had turned black, and he looked radiant and full of life. His back was particularly straight, as straight as a sword, like a pine tree on a cliff, and seemed even more upright than before.
That energy and spirit almost overflowed.
Boom!
Suddenly, dark clouds covered the sky, revealing the first heavenly tribulation, the Jade Thunder Tribulation.
Faced with this terrifying heavenly tribulation, Yu Zhensheng burst into laughter, his voice echoing through the clouds, his eyes filled with heroic spirit, and he recited the lines in a theatrical style.
"You couldn't stop me back then, and you can't stop me now!"
"My disciple, watch how your master breaks through the heavenly tribulation once more and battles that Thunder Official of the Nine Heavens!" (End of Chapter)
