Chapter 40 Someone Came from Afar

  The Qing Hill has an extra small white cloud, and it's a celebration for the whole mountain.

  Firstly, several Golden Immortals from Qingqiu Mountain led the way, followed by a group of accomplished disciples who had come to the summit of Qingqiu Mountain and knelt down in front of a thatched cottage.

  "Congratulations to Master Bai Meng and Master Bai Lu on the birth of their noble son, congratulations to Teacher Zhou for having a good disciple." The first half of the sentence was spoken loudly and with great fanfare, but the second half was tinged with bitterness. It's a pity that even a newborn calf can be accepted as a disciple by Teacher Zhou, while we, a group of Golden Immortals, can only sit beside the stairs and listen in. They didn't think it was strange that Master Zhou was biased or unfair, after all, if they hadn't often listened to the Great Way, how would they have achieved their current cultivation? Moreover, without the protection of Master Qinghuashan Qinglian, they might have lost their lives long ago. The crowd could only sigh and lament that their own destiny was not enough, and they couldn't become disciples of this person who was destined to become a saint in the future. It's a pity that Master Zhou is one of the four disciples of Hong Jun, if they had entered his door, they would have at least been able to mix with the name of Hong Jun's disciple."

  "Everyone, please get up quickly. I, Bai Mou, have just had a son and it's troubling you all to come and congratulate me. Haha." While laughing straightforwardly, one hand holding back the always ready to run wildly White Cloud, White Dew was resting at home after giving birth, but asked him to follow little White Cloud at all times. This child is really mischievous, yesterday when no one was paying attention, he relied on his innate divine power and jumped into Clear Peace Lake to catch fish, poor East Sea brocade carp, along with the dragons in the lake, were all chased away. Helpless, Bai Mou could only use magic to stop him, punishing him to stand in front of their thatched cottage to reflect, the result was predictable, little White Cloud's crying face immediately evoked everyone's sympathy, Zhu Yu, Shi Zhong, and Kong Xuan unanimously blamed him for bullying his younger brother. Bai Mou had no choice but to patiently hold onto him, wherever he wanted to go, he would accompany him, if he was mischievous, he would teach him well, and not punish him again."

  "Well, you all have a heart." Zhou Cheng also rarely had leisure time, and without saying anything, he just followed the few people in the door to receive the congratulations from everyone.

  "Has everyone brought a gift for Little White Cloud?" Little White Cloud jumped up and down while holding her father's hand, shaking her head and looking around at the crowd of people bowing to her. Her father had already told her that today she would be meeting her older martial brothers, and although he was their master's direct disciple, it wasn't right for him to be distant from them, so he should call everyone "older martial brother". "Yesterday, Bamboo Sister and Stone Zhong Brother, as well as Kong Xuan Brother all said Little White Cloud is very well-behaved and gave her many delicious treats and fun things." Zhou Cheng saw that Little White Cloud was generally in good spirits, which made him feel greatly relieved. This kind of disciple really did have a bit of his own style.

  "Haha, little white cloud is so obedient, of course the masters brought you delicious food and fun things." Everyone saw that this child was so clever and cute, they couldn't help but laugh loudly. This child's cleverness and spirit were indeed remarkable, no wonder the teacher had taken him in as a disciple. The crowd then took out the spiritual medicine, ginseng, and fruit pills that they had prepared earlier, which were all rare treasures.

  "Baiyun, you haven't thanked the fellow seniors yet." Zhou Cheng was overjoyed to see all the Golden Immortals behaving so properly and his own disciple being so well-behaved.

  "Little one thanks all the senior brothers."

  "No need, no need, I'll be counting on you to take care of me from now on." The group of Golden Immortals knew their own affairs and couldn't compare to this White Cloud junior brother, after all, he was a direct disciple with a respected position in the sect.

  Then, the demon kings and spirit leaders of the Qingqiu Mountains, each with their own mountain and cave, led their troops to offer congratulations, bringing gifts of flowers, fruits, water, wine, and exotic birds and beasts. The top of Qingqiu Mountain was no longer quiet at this time, but Zhou Cheng didn't get angry, after all, everyone came to congratulate him, there's no need to put on a face, offending everyone's good intentions. Face is for outsiders, in front of the people of Qingqiu Mountain, it's better to be kind and gentle, don't learn from that great Qing dynasty, only knowing how to deal with their own people, but being weak and powerless when facing foreign enemies. Zhou Cheng still remembers Cixi's infamous saying "Rather give to a friendly nation than to one's own slaves". Only by uniting together can we effectively resist the bullying of outsiders. Otherwise, even if you become a saint, what can you do? Don't be like that Tongtian who was betrayed by all the immortals on the day he ascended to heaven.

  Bai Meng was taken aback by the large number of people, and he didn't know what to do. He had already congratulated them and given gifts, but he couldn't just not show any gratitude at all, could he? But then again, what else could he possibly use to express his thanks? In his desperation, he could only look at Zhou Cheng with a pitiful expression.

  "As for me, I have my own plans."

  "Many of you have come to congratulate me, and it's all because of your kind intentions. Today, I'll graciously explain the great way, and if fate permits, you will surely gain something." Zhou Cheng knew that sometimes, a moderate amount of favor was necessary.

  Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this. Since the teacher had spoken in such a manner, they feared that today's lesson would be about some extraordinary principles. They immediately descended to the stone steps and sat down in order.

  "The essence of the Tao is in one word, and it's all about one heart. If you attain the Tao, then even a short period of time can lead to great accomplishment; if not, then even ten thousand years of hard work will be fruitless. From the opening of the primordial chaos, the separation of yin and yang, the formation of the heavenly way...”

  Zhou Cheng began to explain the middle chapter of the Hun Dun Pian, previously he had only lectured on the basic and initial chapters, but this time he intended to bestow some blessings, so he started explaining the middle chapter. Although it was just the middle chapter, if one could comprehend it, then the way of the Great Luo Golden Immortal would also be easy to grasp.

  This Hun Dun Pian was originally extremely profound, even Zhou Cheng himself had not fully comprehended it. Although he had listened to the lectures at the Zi Xuan Palace, he was only borrowing from the Hong Jun Great Way, but his own way was still based on this Hun Dun Pian. This time, opening up the lecture, could be considered a rare opportunity for everyone.

  The crowd below was shocked, and it turned out that the teacher had not explained such a great way before. From now on, they would have to be clever in their actions. The teacher was delighted, and they were also able to listen to such a great way for a long time. Several disciples of the sect were also full of joy, knowing that this middle-level chapter had been passed down by Zhou Cheng, but where could they understand it? This time, hearing Zhou Cheng's words personally, they gained a lot. Kong Xuan was even more present in the green cloud, and he was not far from becoming a Golden Immortal. Xiao Baiyun was also clever and wise, although she didn't understand anything, she knew that the teacher was talking about great principles, and she obediently knelt down to listen to the way. Zhou Cheng pitied her for being too young, so he only let her sit on the futon.

  Zhou Cheng finished speaking and stopped, lowering his head with a sigh, no longer continuing.

  "Teacher, Xiaobaiyun is listening comfortably now, why have you stopped talking?"

  "You little demon, you're almost asleep! Haha..." Zhou Cheng laughed and scolded, then said: "Today's lesson ends here, you all go your separate ways." Everyone heard this and dispersed. The few Golden Immortals benefited the most, with a hint of blue clouds appearing on their bodies, fearing that they would soon condense their vital energy and spirit into three flowers, storing the five elements in their chests, thereby achieving great success as Golden Immortals.

  "You all come with me and go out for a while." Several people also stood up together, except for Bai Lu who was resting after giving birth, and followed Zhou Cheng to fly out of the mountain.

  The crowd emerged from the Qing Hill, and upon seeing the outside scene, they were shocked and looked at Zhou Cheng in unison. It turned out that outside was filled with people everywhere, many of whom were lying on the ground, unknown whether dead or alive. From a distance in the sky, one could hear the sound of wailing and crying, truly a sorrowful sight across the land. These people were the ones created by Nüwa in her previous attempt, but she had cast a spell to send them here, without care or concern, and returned to her palace. As a result, these people were created without spiritual power, nor any great abilities, not even a way to make a living, except for the clothes given to them by Nüwa, they had nothing else.

  "Teacher, these don't seem to be Wuyao or Lingwai either. What kind of tribe are they? Where did they come from?" asked Zhuyu.

  "Ah, someone has come from afar. What are your views?"

  Several people looked at me, I looked at you also didn't have a clue, and even more didn't dare to speak easily. The previous matter of Kong Xuan, the crowd hadn't forgotten yet. Zhu Yu only tightly pursed her lips, hesitated several times, and finally didn't open her mouth. Xiao Baiyun was even more confused, but wanted to struggle free from Bai Meng's big hand, wanting to go play for a while.

  "Teacher, please have mercy and take in these people. It's also a way of saving them." Zhou Cheng looked over and saw that it was Kong Xuan who had fallen to the ground, his eyes red as he spoke. "If teacher is willing to take in these people, I, your disciple, am willing to be a slave day and night, serving you."

  "Master Kong Xuan..." The little words made him think that Master Kong Xuan was going to be scolded, and his eyes were filled with tears as he wanted to say something. "Teacher, those people are so pitiful..."

  "The teacher will handle it, let's just listen to the teacher." Shi Zhong spoke up, after what happened last time, he had matured a lot. Bai Meng was also listening on the side, nodding his head in agreement.

  Zhou Cheng looked at the door with a nod of approval and said, "This is the human tribe, coming from afar, originally created by Nüwa's sanctification. How could I not take care of you? What I sighed about was not this matter, but rather what will happen in the future. You have performed well this time." He then turned his head to look at Kong Xuan: "Kong Xuan, do you know why your master treated you that way earlier?"

  "The disciple is foolish, but it's because he doesn't know."

  "There are two reasons, one you will know later; the other is that your innate talent is not being honed, how can it be achieved? Can your great ambition in your heart be accomplished just by relying on the five-colored divine light behind your back?" Zhou Cheng said, "This time I have also been successful because of you, and it's a reward for your performance this time, without disappointing me as your master." After finishing speaking, he pointed at Kong Xuan, a green light shot out from his finger, Kong Xuan was like being struck by lightning, his figure was dizzy for a moment, but the green light appeared on top of his head, three flowers bloomed together, and the Golden Immortal's path had already been greatly accomplished.

  "Thank you, teacher!" Kong Xuan said with tears streaming down his face as he kowtowed repeatedly. His cultivation had increased, but that wasn't the thing that made him happiest. Today, he finally knew that although his teacher didn't love him the most, he also wasn't someone who didn't care about him. He was no longer the pitiful person in his own heart who thought he had no one to teach or care for him.

  "Everyone below, listen to me for a moment." Zhou Cheng turned towards the human tribe, preparing to give some orders.

  I'm exhausted from the past few days, so I went to the school's bathhouse this morning and almost fell asleep on the wooden bed in the sauna room. Luckily someone came in and woke me up, or else I would have been steamed to death like a dead fish. Morning exercise, class, bathing, and breakfast and lunch were all skipped [Seriously, after finishing morning exercise, I went back to sleep and didn't have time for breakfast]. I only ate an intestine. Finally finished uploading the code. First eat dinner, then talk later. Tickets! Tickets! Tickets! If there are many tickets, I won't eat lunch, just eat tickets. Hehe!
