Chapter 27: The Peacock Enters the Mountain

  Zhou Cheng stared at the four door guards kneeling in a row, plus a half-dead peacock, and was speechless. A few people went to travel through the vast wilderness, but how did they bring this person back? This person is now unknown, but he made a big splash in that great war of gods, and everyone below the leader was defeated. Although he is unknown in the vast wilderness, he looks like a kind and gentle person, but whoever knows about the later generations' sealing of gods, seeing a peacock with five-colored divine feathers on its tail, can call out the name Kong Xuan. This person has many controversies later on, and it's never been said that he's a great good person, probably not even a tiger or wolf, otherwise he wouldn't have been accepted by Zhu Tian, and ended up being the peacock demon king of the Western Heaven, Kong Xuan.

  "Master, you'd better save him quickly, he's almost dead." In Xiao Yu's opinion, as long as someone couldn't speak or move, they were basically on the verge of death. Shi Zhong pulled at her sleeve, signaling her to be careful not to offend Master Zhou. This time, several people brought back this peacock, and their hearts were uneasy, wondering if the normally fastidious Zhou Cheng would be displeased.

  "You're quite good, I told you to go out and broaden your horizons, but instead you bring trouble back home." Zhou Cheng was slightly annoyed, he had already anticipated some trouble, and now blamed himself for not considering in advance which few people would have inappropriate behavior.

  "Saving him is possible, however..." Zhou Cheng made up his mind, saving was possible, but it would come with conditions.

  "Master, you'd better hurry up and save him first. He's been bullied by so many people and is in a pitiful state. You're still hesitating and refusing to help, humph!" Xiaoyu pouted and turned her head away from Zhou Cheng. The peacock's unyielding determination in the face of life and death, as well as his miserable fate, had somehow stirred up her sympathy and concern for his well-being.

  The two men beside Bai Mu moved their mouths, but still didn't say anything. After all, they also knew that the two of them weren't exactly on good terms with each other.

  "Master, just agree with Little Yu Shifu already." Shi Zhong saw that his master was unhappy and became unhappy too. He didn't care whether they were going to save the peacock or the sparrow, he just hoped Zhou Cheng would quickly agree with Little Yu.

  "Alright, let's revive him first and talk later." Under helpless circumstances, Zhou Cheng pointed at the Peacock to wake him up, then they would reassess the situation.

  The peacock turned around, and indeed, he was missing one arm. He slowly woke up and immediately felt the emptiness of his left hand, his face darkening. In his impression, he seemed to have been stung by that scorpion's unique scorpion needle - the Soul-destroying Needle, but his arm was gone, hadn't he died? But where was this place?! Who had saved him?! He looked around and saw a girl about 14 years old, with a clear face, wearing a green jacket, beautiful and elegant. The girl's face was anxious, seeing that he woke up, she quickly jumped over to help him up.

  "Are you okay?" the girl asked, "You scared us to death, we thought you were dead." Xiaoyu's words made Zhou Cheng feel a bit depressed, did I scare you to death? Master didn't get scared at all.

  The peacock's scattered thoughts gradually returned to normal, and he had recovered a bit from his half-dead state. Seeing the unfamiliar girl and the crowd beside her, he couldn't help but struggle free from the bamboo cage, standing aside and asking cautiously: "Where is this place? Did you people save me? Or...?"

  "It was several of my precious disciples who saved you, their master has no credit at all. Don't worry about it either, those five-colored divine lights are rare, but they can't even enter my eyes." Zhou Cheng looked at him like that and got a bit angry, careful or I'll really become a bandit and settle with you on the spot.

  "Master, I haven't even recovered yet, what are you saying?" Zhuyi saw that the master was bullying Kongque and felt a bit resentful. Zhou Cheng felt a surge of depression upon seeing this, is there really such a strange thing in this world? This disciple, truly a precious disciple. Actually dared to disobey me three times for the sake of an outsider. Seeing her unusual expression, he thought to himself, could it be that this girl...

  "It was us who saved you, this is not a dangerous place, he is our master, the master of Qingqiu Mountain." Xiaoyu went to support the peacock again, but instead made Shi Zhong tightly grasp his clothes, and didn't know what he was thinking! Zhou Cheng felt a great deal of frustration, what kind of play was this?

  "Hmm, I thought...I thought..." The peacock muttered, somewhat embarrassed, and immediately prostrated himself on the ground with one hand, bowing down in front of everyone. "Thank you all for saving my life, I, Peacock, am deeply grateful."

  "It's just a small matter, no big deal." Xiaoyu didn't care about other people's reactions and immediately pulled out the peacock. This time even Bai Meng couple subtly shook their heads, Xiaoyu was indeed a bit abnormal.

  "You've come here, it's a good opportunity. I'll use my great method to restore your true form as a demon. After that, you can go find your own way home." Although the divine light at the end of the peacock's tail was mysterious and wonderful, Zhou Cheng's way was about responding to heaven and understanding oneself. If he wanted to, he would rather take action himself than leave the peacock behind. The two were quite incompatible in temperament. Seeing Xiaoyu's behavior this time, he secretly felt a sense of shock and unease, thinking that something bad might happen. Therefore, he thought even more about letting the peacock leave.

  "Thank you, Daozhang, but I don't want to recover my original body. The difficulties I faced earlier were all due to my shallow cultivation. Leaving this empty left arm is a reminder of my shame. In the future, I will cultivate diligently and not suffer humiliation again." Look at him, straightforward and stubborn, although he has great determination, he's just a naive person who eats losses. "I'd like to become your disciple, Daozhang, so I can learn the great method. In the future, I'll also have a way to protect myself." He immediately knelt down and bowed solemnly. He couldn't sense Zhou Cheng's depth, which means he must be more powerful than him. As the master of a mountain, his disciples could even rescue themselves from prison, while he himself could escape unscathed. Moreover, Zhou Cheng said he could use magic to restore his damaged demon body, which is an extraordinary method; as far as he knows, he's never heard of such a great technique before.

  "Alright, very good."

  Zhou Cheng didn't even need to turn his head to know who was answering on their own, and he let out a sigh in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You and I don't have that kind of master-disciple fate, so don't force it. In the future, you will have your own opportunities, and the five-colored divine light behind you will not be weak either. Entering my sect would actually be holding you back."

  The peacock listened, and the other person seemed to know him inside out. Although he claimed to have no connection with him, fearing that it would delay his own cultivation, but he was so clever that he suddenly realized that Zhou Cheng was not unable to teach himself, but unwilling to accept him.

  "I beg of you, Master, to have mercy on me. Even if I were to be treated like a cow or a horse, I would not regret it. If you do not accept me, your disciple will only kneel here forever." Peacock has wandered the desolate wilderness for so many years and deeply understands the importance of having a good master and a good backing. Since he himself is destined to be an extraordinary person in the future, how can he not have a good master?

  "Master, just agree to it, isn't it just another disciple? You didn't have a hard time accepting me and Shi Zhong when we were disciples. Good master, please agree." Zhou Cheng remained silent, thinking to himself "I'm not some extraordinary kind person, I've already shown great kindness by saving him and agreeing to help him repair his demon body. Is he trying to intimidate me? I won't fall for that."

  "All of you, get out. I'm going to rest. Those who want to kneel, go outside and do so, don't block my mood." Zhou Cheng said as he waved his hand to send them out of the thatched hut and went back to sleep on the bamboo bed. This time when Kong Que came, he didn't want to take him in, although there were many reasons for it, including the trouble afterwards. But the biggest reason was that after seeing Zhu Yu's appearance, he was even more unwilling. Shi Zhong, Shi Zhong, I'm considering what's good for you. Although Zhou Cheng's cultivation is getting deeper and the Great Way is within reach, he instead likes that ordinary person's daily life, three meals a day, early to bed and early to rise, as long as he's in the mountains, he has never disrupted it."

  The next morning, Zhou Cheng pushed open the thatched hut gate and was startled.

  Five people knelt down neatly outside the door, and everyone on the mountain top was there. Seeing Zhou Cheng come out, they didn't move either.

  Zhou Cheng walked up to a few people, pulled Shi Zhong up with one hand, and asked: "What kind of madness is this?"

  "I, I see..." "What a disappointment! A real man should speak his mind directly. What's the point of being so hesitant and ambiguous?"

  "I saw my senior sister kneeling here for a whole night and didn't return even when called. I was worried about her, so I knelt down together with her."

  "What about you?" White Meng couple was asked.

  "We saw Xiao Yu and Xiao Zhong pitifully kneeling down, so we knelt down too."

  Zhou Cheng's face turned red with anger, and he couldn't help but make a scene. He immediately turned around and walked to the motionless Zhu Yu. "Why are you doing this?"

  "Master, wu wu, Master just take the peacock, I...I see him like this, my heart feels uncomfortable. Wa..." Xiaoyu said as she burst into loud crying, tears streaming down her face. She had knelt for a whole night and didn't dare use her magical powers, her knees were sore and painful.

  "Bamboo sister, don't force Master anymore, I'm willing." Peacock was very stubborn, extremely stubborn.

  "Who are you to be my master?!" Zhou Cheng was momentarily out of patience, seeing a good Qingqiu Mountain being turned into a dark and gloomy place by this peacock's arrival.

  "Master, if you don't agree, I'll kneel here forever." Xiaoyu struck again with her killer move. With a pitiful look on her face, she was most likely to make Zhou Cheng take pity on her.

  "Sister Shifu won't get up, I won't get up either." "Two sister and brother Shifu won't get up, we won't get up either."

  "Unbelievable! Unbelievable..." Zhou Cheng paced back and forth, finally unable to help himself, he couldn't just punch that peacock and be done with it.

  "Alright, since everyone is pleading for you, I'll give you a chance." Zhou Cheng actually had no other choice but to come up with a compromise. "I'll set up an illusion array; if you can get out of it, then I'll accept you as my nominal disciple. Becoming a formal disciple is still not possible."

  Xiao Yu was overjoyed and immediately forgot about her own fatigue, getting up to pull the peacock. Zhou Cheng thought to himself, this girl had been kneeling for a whole night without using any magic power, how could she endure it? He sighed inwardly, thinking that there would be many more troubles in the future.

  He stretched out his hand and pointed, a few pieces of jade symbol cloth formed an illusion array in the empty space, his heart moved, set up various illusions, but after some consideration.

  The peacock entered the illusion array and disappeared, and after half a day, he fell out of the jade symbol array. His clothes were disheveled, his face was pale, and there seemed to be an inexplicable expression in his eyes.

  "Master, please give me a name." The peacock said with joy, realizing that it had already come out of the illusion array.

  "Kong Xuan." Zhou Chengyang arranged a thatched hut with his hands, ignoring the crowd, and immediately turned back to the thatched hut on the cliff. After a long time, a soft sigh came...

  Chapter 2 has been delivered. If the ticket situation is good, there will be another chapter tonight. Regarding the issue of the protagonist's too soft personality, Xiaoyu will make adjustments in subsequent chapters at the fastest speed, hoping everyone will continue to support.
