Chapter 5: Holding onto Da Xia's Leg

  Facing them was the white-clothed youth who had just walked out of the cave, and at this moment he was shouting loudly with his head held high:

  "In front of my invincible Xianjian, Mo Shaofeng, you still think this little trick can deceive my eyes? How ridiculous! Come here, you four little guys. Is there any more monsters? Humph, if there are, I'll get rid of them all at once, to eradicate evil thoroughly!"

  Xiao Guo hastily ran behind him and took a look at the giant black snake with its head and body separated, excitedly jumping up and down and shouting:

  "Immortal brother, thank you for saving us! You are truly amazing!"

  "Wahahaha......" Mo Shaofeng laughed maniacally:

  "No big deal, I'm a godly brother who not only saves you guys but also saves the world. Of course, I'm awesome! Dealing with a little demon like him is nothing, and he was taken down by my one sword. Generally handsome, huh? Hehe~ Ah~ You two little rascals, what's with always hugging my leg? Admiring me doesn't have to be like this, it's so ticklish~"

  Xiao Guo glared and hastily said: "Xiao Dou, what are you spacing out for? Quickly go and scoop up the monster from the water, dig out an internal elixir from its seven-inch spot, then bring out all the high-level magical tools we hid before and give them to Big Brother God! Xiao Xiao, Xiao Mei, tidy up your things, take the big guys in the cave and hurry up to follow, Big Brother God is going to save us!"

  The three children immediately ran off in a flurry to carry it out.

  Mo Shao Feng suddenly turned his head and said to the little bean who was hugging his leg, "That kid, don't forget, the horns on his head, the skin on his body, and the snake gallbladder can all be sold for a few low-grade spirit stones. Bring them all over to me!"

  He's got a lot of nerve, Xiaodou thought to herself, feeling a surge of resentment. Is this guy really a god or what? Does he want every single piece of trash?

  But as soon as he thought it was Xiaoguo's words, he went to execute them seriously, and with great effort, he pulled the big black snake up from the water, took a knife from Xiaoguo, and faced his arch-nemesis, slashing away with the small knife.

  A burst of swift and nimble movement, the snake skin, gallbladder, horn on the snake's head, and a yellow demon's inner elixir were all taken out. Then, running out of the small cave outside, the remaining three treasures as well as that pile of rubbish were sent to Mo Shaofeng's face.

  Facing more than ten children, Mo Shao Feng lightly coughed and said:

  "Remember, if it weren't for me, the Nine Heavens Mountain - Xianjian Sect - Invincible Sword - Mo Shaofeng, you would all have been eaten by monsters. Now, the monsters have been eliminated by Ben Dajun, and the array at the foot of the mountain has also been broken by my great divine power. As for you, just gather together and go down the mountain, follow this beam of light, and you won't get lost again. Once you reach the city, each of you can return home, find your mothers, and goodbye!"

  The children looked at the magical light from the top of the mountain to the bottom, extremely excited, and rushed down the mountain together with silly smiles. Xiaoxiao and Xiaomei each carried a small bag, bid farewell to Xiaoguo reluctantly, and followed the group of children disappearing around the corner of the mountain waist!

  When their silhouettes disappeared, Mo Shaofeng suddenly turned his head back, his eyes releasing a greedy green light as he laughed loudly:

  "You two little rascals, not bad, not bad, okay, stop hugging my leg. Later, I'll fly you back home on my sword. Quickly show me what treasures and valuable things you have!"

  Xiao Dou hastily sent all the items up, but Xiao Guo knelt in front of him, crying with a runny nose and tears:

  "Immortal brother, Water Fairy has been waiting for the stars and moon to finally bring you here. Waaah~ Please take in Water Fairy and Little Bean, two homeless children as your apprentices! From now on, Water Fairy is willing to be a cow or horse, serving Immortal Brother!"

  Mo Shao Feng's face was filled with difficulty as he said, "This won't do, will it? The ninth generation of Huashan disciples are all third-generation Yuan-level figures who have taken in disciples. Our fourth generation hasn't even started taking in disciples yet!"

  Xiao Guo, oh no, now it should be narcissus, Narcissus Xiao's face is covered with tears and says:

  "No matter who I learn from, Shuixian will never forget the great kindness of her brother Xiansheng for saving her life. When there is a chance, Shuixian is willing to help Xiansheng with many good deeds, and she is very capable!"

  Xiao Dou also nodded and smiled foolishly: "Right, I'm willing to help God Brother with chores, uh, do rough work!"

  Mo Shaofeng's eyes flashed with purple light as he exclaimed in surprise:

  "Hmm, you little girl still has some basic skills and talent, seems to be quite good. Alright, I'll take you back to Jiuhua Mountain. As for whether you can join our sect or not, that depends on your luck. Come on, less chit-chat, bring the treasure over and let me see it."

  Taking over the small bean's item, this guy actually picked and chose, quarreling and saying:

  "Hmph, I thought there was something good, but these three pieces of trash can only sell for a few low-grade spirit stones. Not even one decent piece of equipment... Fine, let's just say I ran errands to earn some small change, haha... This giant snake's gallbladder, horn, and skin are not bad, they can sell for tens of low-grade spirit stones. Hmm, these basic techniques are useless, throw them away! What trashy Qi-enhancing pills, throw them away too! And all this other stuff is useless, throw it away! Watch me use my Heavenly Fire to burn all this junk!"

  Whoosh! A small fireball suddenly appeared in his hand and burned away everything that was in his way.

  Narcissus and small bean aching all over, hastily either hugging or carrying the items he left behind, then went to hug this "hero"'s thigh. Mo Shao Feng this guy was also delighted for a moment, took out his flying sword, and led the two little guys to fly above the nine heavens.

  Anyway, the two children didn't dare to look at what was in the sky, but after landing, when they opened their eyes, they found that the three of them had arrived at a mountain peak surrounded by precipitous cliffs. The sound of celestial music filled the air, and yet, the sounds of hawking and bargaining from the mortal world also kept coming out.

  Two kids looked around and saw two rows of small street stalls that were just like those in the city, with many people buying and selling goods at the stands!

  Following Mo Daxia forward, I saw many strange and unusual things on the small stalls everywhere, such as deer antlers, lingzhi mushrooms, medicinal herbs, weapons, and small porcelain bottles everywhere...

  Anyway, they were all unfamiliar things to Xiaodou. He followed Mo Dashi to a vacant stall and was asked to put out the two items.

  Originally, the small bean was watching the narcissus being silly, but seeing the narcissus at this time was even more clumsy than himself, with a red face and stiff movements. He then used the method he had learned from following a vegetable vendor to quickly arrange the items and proactively ask the price of these things from Mo Da Shao behind him.

  "Hey, all you passersby, don't miss out! Freshly obtained 700-year-old Black Snake Inner Elixir, not to mention the snake skin and precious pseudo-dragon horn! The remaining few artifacts, name your price and they're yours, come take a look!"

  In just a short while, Xiaodou had earned dozens of thumb-sized, five-colored small spirit stones.

  Suddenly, he grabbed the last treasure sword and threw it to Xiaodou, saying:

  "You're really a talented kid, here, this is a reward for you, see how generous I am. Let's go back to the sect, remember, all you saw was me subduing demons and saving hundreds of suffering children, nothing more..."

  "We don't know anything else." said Shuixian with a serious face:

  "We two only know that Xianjian Wudi, Mo Shao Feng, subdued the demons and saved us several tens of thousands of children who were about to be eaten by monsters. In the end, the poor two of us, orphans without father or mother, were led back to the Grand Sect by Bodhisattva-hearted Mo Da Xia, to protect us weaklings from starving to death on the streets!"

  "Haha...!" Mo Shao Feng laughed triumphantly: "Right, right, just like you said, little girl, so clever, I love it! Let's go, let's head back now~"

  The two children were still holding onto Mo Shao Feng's legs and flew for a while before finally landing.

  After coming down, Xiao Dou hurriedly handed the treasure sword to Shui Xian and said: "Sister Shui Xian, this is for you. You must practice it as soon as possible like Mo Da Xia, then protect Xiao Dou!"

  "Xiaodou, what are you saying? Alas... You really make me worry. Remember, from now on, it's not like working in a mountain cave anymore. You must work diligently and conscientiously, not for anyone else to see, but for your own peace of mind. Be true to others and be sincere in your heart."

  "Although you don't have many secrets, it's better to say less about yourself. The most important thing is to quickly recognize the characters I taught you, understand the principles thoroughly, calculate clearly, memorize the I Ching, and then study magic well. Remember?"

  As for Su Xian's teachings, no matter whether he understood or not, Xiao Dou always nodded hastily.

  "Alright, that's enough, the guards at the gate have seen us. Remember to be polite later, got it?"

  Watching them nod in agreement one after another, he stepped forward with a straight back and laughed loudly:

  "Zi Yan, Leng Nuo, two senior brothers, I've been thinking about you day and night! How have you been lately?"

  "Zi Yan with purple hair smiled lightly and said: "Shao Feng, your mouth has always been so sweet. Alright, let's drink together another time. Now, let's get down to business!"

  Lan's cold face said seriously: "Who are these two kids? One is an ordinary boy, but this girl has a year of Taoism, her internal energy is weak, but she has a rare talent. Xiao Mo, explain!"

  Mo Shao Feng bowed with a polite smile and said, "It's like this, I found out that the thousand-year-old snake demon was harming innocent lives in the mortal world... In the end, I couldn't bear to see it starve to death on the streets, so I brought it back! And also..."

  This guy with absolutely amazing eloquence, gave a shocking and stunning battle speech, spoke so convincingly that in the end he actually managed to annoy these two "gatekeepers" so much that they reluctantly let him in!

  Looking around, the old generation said that the jade building and the jade palace, the forest court and the small pavilion, the birds singing and the flowers fragrant, the strange treasures and exotic beasts, the clouds and mist lingering, are really extremely beautiful. It's as if I've become an immortal, walking in the beautiful and sacred heavenly court. Maybe I can even see the Chang'e fairy, she'll give me a delicious mooncake...
