Chapter Twenty-Two

  In the midst of clear water, inside the Tong Dust Palace's Jade Axis Hall, the atmosphere was gloomy. The master of Yu Palace suddenly fell ill, and a mysterious disease came from nowhere. Lu Jian and Duanmu Chengyang were worried about him, but also worried about Dao Jing Mengmu, anxiously pacing back and forth.

  The master was already upset and these two little rascals were making him even more annoyed, so he immediately called the guards outside to stop them and take them somewhere else.

  The guards were very kind and knew they were anxious for their own palace master, so they spoke out to comfort them.

  "Don't worry, the palace master's body was also not good for a while, thanks to Mr. Xuwu's treatment, this time it will be fine too. Mr. Xuwu is busy now, you guys just play by yourselves, don't bother him for now."

  Lu Jing nodded with a pursed mouth, and the guards led them through the layers of courtyards, where patrolling guards were changing shifts and chatting in twos and threes.

  "Who's that person by the shore? Doesn't look like they're from around here."

  "Whatever, he just fainted, and who knows, maybe he's already gone..."

  The guards gradually went away, Duanmu Yan suddenly pulled Quan Jian and said, "Let's go up and take a look"

  "Hmm? Where are you going?"

  The guards also showed a look of confusion

  Duanmu Zhan pointed to a team of guards going far away and said, "I heard them say that someone fainted by the shore. Anyway, we can't do anything now, so let's go take a look at the excitement."

  Lu Jing's interest was lacking, "Yu Gong said that we can't run around, everything has to wait until he's better."

  The guard, however, was a straightforward and enthusiastic person. Seeing Duanmu Cheng's embarrassed expression, he said, "Master Duanmu, why don't you just listen to the palace master's words? I'll go take a look at the situation upstairs." He then beckoned two of his brothers to follow him as they left together.

  Before long, the guard rushed back, his two brothers following behind him, jointly lifting a person.

  Duanmu Chengyang took a step back at that moment and said in a low voice with a look of disgust: "He shouldn't be dead, should he?"

  Lu Jianbai gave him a glance, "Pfft pfft pfft, nonsense, you're the one who's dead!"

  "Huh? I'm fine, I can run and jump, why are you cursing me? Do I look like I am?"

  "You can run and jump well, then go take a look!" Lu Jian crossed his arms and gave him a sideways glance, "Afraid now?"

  "This..." Du Mu Yan was momentarily taken aback and didn't dare to, but still argued: "I'm just not daring, how about you go ahead"

  "Hmph, I'll go if I want to go, you think I'm as timid as you... Eh? Dao Jing!"

  “！！！”

  Dao Jing reappeared on his original bed where he had slept before, everything was the same as last time, except...

  "Hey, come here." Du Mu Cheng Yang called out softly to Lu Jian, beckoning her over from behind the bedpost.

  "What's wrong?" Lu Jian walked over impatiently and slapped him on the head, "What's with this cowardly look, what happened again?"

  "Careful, I'm being cautious, got it?" Duanmu Chengyang pushed Lu Jian behind him and leaned forward to peek at the person on the bed.

  "Is this Taoist?"

  Yes indeed

  Du Mu Yan waved his unbelievable hand in front of Lu Jian's eyes, "Are you blind? He, he, how can he possibly be Dao Jing? Is Dao Jing supposed to look like that? I think he looks more like Xuan Yi Shangxian"

  "It's impossible!" Lu Jian's tone was very certain, but at this time she also reacted a bit, she carefully looked at Dao Jing's face for a long time, and then compared his height with Du Mu Yang's, in the end, she took a step back, the certainty on her face greatly loosened, "Eh? Eh?"

  Duanmu Chengyang slapped his thigh and hastily added: "I told you so!!!!!!"

  "Wait a minute" Lu Jian ran to the bedside clothes rack and flipped over his outer garment, and sure enough, he found a transparent jade token.

  "Look, isn't this the Taoist?"

  They were already familiar with this jade plaque. It was indeed Dao Jing's, but the person on the bed didn't seem like the Dao Jing they had interacted with before.

  He's been missing for a day, but I feel like it's been two years since we last saw him.

  Suddenly a cough sounded outside the door, and the two exchanged a glance, inspiration struck, and they vanished in an instant!

  Originally wanted to come over and arrange some work for the two little ones, but unexpectedly blinked and was pressed against the bedside.

  "Take his pulse!"

  A sorrowful and desolate sigh, "Alas, the world is in decline, how can it be so disrespectful to the elderly?"

  Luoyan's eyes rolled over once, "You haven't loved me for a long time, and my spiritual energy hasn't recovered yet."

  "Cut the crap and bring over a stool."

  After feeling the pulse, another examination was conducted. The doctor seemed puzzled and stroked his beard, saying: "All the signs match, it can be confirmed that he is indeed your brother, however..."

  Du Mu was tormented to death by his mysterious appearance, and said with a tired heart: "I'll tell you, he is Dao Jing, the disciple of Xuan Yi Shang Xian from Tian Tai Mountain, not our brother. If you continue to drag your feet, wait for Xuan Yi Shang Xian to come and ask you to explain it, we two will say that we don't know anything."

  "What's wrong with kids these days? None of them study hard, all they practice is being glib."

  "Take my needle!"

  The doctor was furious and no one could stop him. With a few swift and ruthless movements, he abruptly woke the person up.

  What first entered her tranquil eyes was the bed curtain, then...

  A little girl, an old man, a young boy! Three pairs of eyes staring at him with piercing gazes, making him feel immense pressure.

  I wish I could sleep for a little while longer.

  Where is this place?

  You can talk now!!!!!

  Excuse me, where is this place?

  Ming Shui Tong Chen Gong

  Who are you?

  I am Lu Jing

  "Hum, Du Mu's poem"

  --……

  Huh? Where's Virtual? He was just here a moment ago.

  "Tong Chen Gong" Dao Jing's subconscious repeated, memories before fainting slowly came back.

  This is the bottom of the clear water, and the final destination of the Lingfu symbol should be here. The Jiaolong left this place no more than three days ago, and only Xiū and Shān's divine officer Tiānyú can activate the heavenly net near the clear water.

  Xiū yǔ shān, tiān láo.

  Translation: Rest with the mountain, heavenly prison.

  Clear water, same dust palace.

  The way is quiet and still, with no sound or color, but in his heart, he secretly ponders the connection between these two things.

  Duanmu Chengyang saw that he was speechless and thought it was an old illness relapsing, so he rushed to find Xuwu Ji.

  Only Lu Jian remained in the house.

  Before she really met Dao Jing, she had heard descriptions of him more than once. It was okay when Dao Jing was confused, and at that time he looked about the same age as her, so she didn't think much of it. Now Dao Jing's appearance has changed, everyone says he is a genius, the only disciple of Xuan Yi Shangxian, raised by his master himself. Duanmu Chengyang said it was true, he really looks like Xuan Yi Gege, especially when he doesn't speak and thinks quietly, but unlike Xuan Yi Gege, he is not warm, with a cold and unfamiliar expression on his face.

  Lu Jing had never spoken a word to Xuan Yi, although she had traveled thousands of miles back and forth for his sake. As for this immortal brother, she knew almost nothing about him. Lu Jing thought gloomily that the master of Yu Palace said he had done many things, but in fact, he hadn't done anything well. He found one and lost another, if he knew, would he be unhappy?

  Thinking of this, she didn't dare move forward anymore. She stood still at the bedside, unable to decide whether to leave or stay, and her hands and feet didn't know where to put themselves.

  Dao Jing originally intended to return to Tiantai Mountain, but unexpectedly discovered the whereabouts of Jiaolong. The Lingfu also fell into this place, and there must be another mystery in the Tongchen Palace. The top priority is still to solve these two mysteries.

  It wasn't until after a while that Dao Jing noticed there was still someone left in the room. He took a closer look at this person, dressed in a disciple's uniform, perhaps a female disciple from the palace, short and plump like a small snowball, standing there obediently, inexplicably feeling pleasing to the eye.

  "Are you Ling Chou?"

  His voice was clear and clean, but his expression was stern, which really startled Luo Jian.

  Watching her tense appearance, Dao Jing lost his smile, and this smile eased the atmosphere a bit. Lu Jian looked at him and also smiled awkwardly, she took small steps to sneak over from behind the bed curtain and poked out half of her head, nodding slightly.

  Dao Jing patted the bedside and said, "Sit down, what are you standing there for?"

  Lu Jing stroked his chest, let out a deep breath, and sat back with a smile. Dao Jing's expression changed completely, no longer cold and distant as before, his voice was also pleasant to hear, unlike Duanmu Cheng's loud and boisterous tone.

  She looked at Dao Jing with curiosity: "You can speak now, really fast."

  Dào Jìng had just felt familiar with her, and now she was even more puzzled. "Have you seen me before?"

  "Yes, yes" Lu Jian felt a bit down and muttered in a low voice: "You don't remember me..." But thinking that he was injured, he could understand, "So you haven't fully recovered yet, or..."

  "It's nothing, it's all in the past." Dao Jing let out a carefree smile, looking at Lu Jian with an innocent and simple expression, feeling more affectionate towards him. But thinking of his own purpose, he still asked: "Is Master Yu Gong here?"

  "Huh? You know him?" It turns out that all immortals know each other after all.

  "Who knows, Jing Cheng shook his head, 'I haven't seen it before. The Tongchuang Palace doesn't belong to the Three Realms. However, they are located in the Central Plains and have a relatively good relationship with Dongyue and many other grotto heavens and blessed lands of immortals and mortals, and they do have some reputation.'"

  Lu Jing nodded heavily, "Everyone says so, but he's ill and I don't know if you can see him." She observed Dao Jing's complexion for a moment, looking slightly better than before, and thought for a moment: "If you can move around, I'll take you to see him."

  Dao Jing nodded and agreed, after going out, he met many Tong Chen Palace disciples on the way, strangely, they all just nodded and passed by, without talking to Lu Jian. Although polite, there was a hint of arrogance, presumably because Tong Chen Palace is independent of the three realms, so it doesn't have that many restrictive rules.

  The deer was jumping and jumping, seemingly very happy. Dao Jing couldn't keep up with her footsteps, so he said: "Slow down, I have something to ask you."

  "The young hero is courteous, and I will make sure to tell him everything without reservation." The deer arrow's heart was greatly stirred, and he actually imitated Ma Ming Sheng's manner.

  “……”

  "Huh? Don't you have something to ask?" Lu Jing looked at him quietly without speaking, stopped in his tracks, and tilted his head to look at him.

  "What's wrong with this girl?" Dao Jing muttered to himself. He deliberately put on a serious face and asked, "May I ask if you are a disciple of the Tong Chen Palace?"

  Nope

  "Why are you wearing a disciple's uniform?" It seems like it's still the initial stage kind.

  Alas, having a poor memory is really troublesome. Lu Jian wore a pained expression as he disseminated knowledge to him: "I, you, Duanmu Xiangyang, the three of us were taken in by Yu Gong's master. When you were ill previously, he took care of you and even helped you invite a celestial doctor, showing great concern for you."

  "Oh?" Tiandai Mountain seemed to have had no dealings with Tongchen Palace, and Tongchen Palace's actions were both righteous and evil. The world knew very little about this place, but this time it was possible to gain a deeper understanding.

  As they arrived in front of the Jade Pivot Hall, Dao Jing helped Lu Jian adjust his slightly disheveled hair and smiled warmly: "That seems to be a very long story, why don't you go see if Master Yu has time first, I'll meet with him and then you can tell me slowly, okay?"

  "Great!"
