Chapter Six

  Duanmu Yan was so angry that he jumped up and down, but Lu Jian just found it funny and laughed for a while before pulling him into a hug.

  "Alright, I'm not joking with you, am I?" She looked at Ma Ming-sheng who was standing aside "Sorry about that, he's not scolding me, we're just joking around, it's nothing."

  After finishing speaking, he pulled Du Mu Yan and whispered something in a low voice.

  Ma Ming-sheng looked at the two people whispering to each other and suddenly felt superfluous!

  "Cough! Cough!"

  The two turned back simultaneously

  Ma Ming-sheng felt a bit awkward, nodded his head and said, "Well, I won't disturb you anymore. The sun is scorching at noon, it's better for the two of you to head back home after playing enough."

  How can one go home with their mouth open and return home with their mouth closed?

  Luojian shook her head, "No, I'm not going home. I'm going to find my brother." She pushed Duanmu Chengyan again, "Are you going home or not?"

  Duanmu Changyang thought to himself that if he were to look for a master, it would be better to ask that powerful immortal rather than waiting for someone with an unpredictable appearance.

  "I won't go home either, I'll accompany you to find your brother"

  "Huh? Alright, alright"

  Ma Ming felt like he was about to collapse

  Du Mu Yan gave him a serious bow, "This big brother, I'm Du Mu Yan, she's Lu Jian, we...we still have something to attend to, you see..."

  He thought it should be Ma Ming's turn to return the gift and then bid farewell without seeing him off. But unexpectedly, this person really loved to interfere with others' business!

  "I see that you two are quite young, although you're traveling together, it's still not safe. Alright, since you called me 'big brother', I'll do my duty as an elder and escort the two of you."

  Silent silent

  Ma Ming Sheng is still sharp, two little kids are whispering in his ear

  "Is he a bad guy?"

  "Doesn't look like it"

  "Shall we let him go with us?"

  I don't know

  "Let me ask"

  Lu Jing raised his head, "Ma Ge, do you know about Tiantai Mountain?"

  "I know that Mount Tiantai is a thousand miles away from here. Are you two going there to look for someone?" Absolutely not!

  Lu Jian nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes"

  "Alright"

  "Wait a minute!" Duanmu Chengyan stood up, "Ma Ge, do you have a horse carriage?"

  Making rapid progress! "I will ride on the clouds"

  Two little kids bit each other's ears again.

  Once again, twice is unacceptable, three times, four times. Ma Ming was silently making mental preparations. Although he had nothing to do, if these two little ghosts proposed another condition, he would resolutely refuse.

  After a while, Lu Jian and Duanmu Chengyang looked over at the same time again, their eyes shining brightly.

  "Alright, alright, let's go together!"

  Maybe I'm just too free?

  On the cloud, Ma Ming Sheng held a child with one hand, and no matter how hard he tried, his posture while riding the cloud couldn't be elegant.

  Lu Jing was scared to death, she had always been on the ground, and it took her a while to get used to the height of humans. After a few days, she still felt dizzy, and now that they were flying so high, she closed her eyes tightly and held onto Ma Ming's hand for dear life.

  Duanmu Chengyang was very excited, flying in, riding clouds and fog, so cool, so cool!

  He shook Ma Ming Sheng's arm, "Brother Ma, how did you learn to drive clouds?"

  "It's born with"

  The sound of "oh" came with some disappointment

  “……”

  The sky had darkened, Ma Ming-sheng brought two children down to a town, found an inn to have dinner.

  The town didn't seem very wealthy, the lobby of the inn was old and simple, and there weren't many people eating. But for Lu Jing who had just come out into the outside world for the first time, looking at the various kinds of people coming and going outside the door filled his eyes with excitement and curiosity.

  "Don't look anymore, don't look anymore, let's eat." Duanmu Chengyang picked up a dish with his chopsticks and handed it to her.

  The deer arrow chopsticks were not very handy, Ma Ming Sheng considerately asked the shopkeeper to change them for a spoon.

  "Thanks, Brother Ma!"

  "It's rare to hear a word of thanks. 'Don't be so polite, Little Deer Sister. However, I'll speak bluntly - with the aura on your body being so overwhelming, you shouldn't be an ordinary person, right?'"

  Yes

  "No!"

  I am obviously

  "This kind of thing can't be told to just anyone, never mind, you've already said it"

  Ma Ming-sheng looked at the two little kids who suddenly bit their ears and silently thought about whether his previous words had any linguistic errors.

  "Little Deer Sister, are you transformed from a celestial herb?"

  No

  "That's right!"

  Let's just eat then

  Duanmu Chengyang looked at Ma Mingsheng's despondent appearance, feeling somewhat uneasy. He pulled Liu Jian to stand up and respectfully bowed to Ma Mingsheng.

  "Why is this?"

  "Brother Ma, we two are young and inexperienced, thank you for taking care of us and escorting us on our journey to find relatives thousands of miles away, thank you very much!"

  You two are so obedient and good kids. "Don't be so polite, I just left home and was about to head south for a trip, come sit down and eat quickly."

  Lu Jing likes to eat meat, Duanmu Chengyang loves to eat green vegetables, Ma Mingsheng favors mushroom dishes. Although they are particular about their food and are disliked by the young waiter, the chef's cooking skills are worthy of the generous tips given by Ma Mingsheng. The three people enjoyed a delicious and harmonious meal.

  The sun sets in the west, and people on the road are all tired and numb, hurrying along. On the main street, a middle-aged woman is pulling a 14 or 15-year-old boy, walking slowly over. The woman seems to be ill, constantly coughing. The boy's clothes are short, tattered, and dirty, almost impossible to see their original color, his expression dull, letting the woman pull him along.

  The three of them had eaten enough and decided to stay overnight here before continuing their journey the next day.

  Duanmu Changyang thought of driving the cloud, and his intention was not yet fulfilled. "Brother Ma, you just came out from home, is your family also in Youmeng Mountain?"

  "It's probably going to be even farther away"

  As he said this, Ma Ming suddenly remembered something and asked Lu Jian: "You said you want to go to Tiantai Mountain to find your brother, does your brother live on Tiantai Mountain? The mountain is heavily guarded recently, and it's very difficult for ordinary people to get close."

  Lu Jian didn't understand: "Why? Wasn't the defense strict before?"

  Ma Ming looked around and said in a low voice, "It was also very difficult to get close before, but the main god of Tiantai Mountain, Xuan Yi Shangxian, was seriously injured in a battle with a demon not long ago. The situation seems very grim!!!"

  What's wrong?!!!!!!!

  The deer arrow seemed to freeze all over in an instant, and its brain buzzed with a loud noise.

  Is brother going to die? What to do what to do? What to do?!

  The other two people looked at Lu Jian and suddenly turned pale with fright, hastily inquiring.

  Lu Jing didn't hear anything, his mind was filled with the scene of Xuan Yi Shangxian being injured and bleeding profusely that day.

  What's going on?

  She was so anxious that she grasped her hair, and happened to grasp a bundle of rice dumplings on top of her head.

  A sudden flash of insight and she recalled the demon god's words.

  "It's back from the dead!"

  Lu Jian grabbed Ma Ming-sheng's sleeve and pulled him out, "Hurry up, hurry up, I have a way to save him!"

  "What a joke!" Ma Ming-sheng said incredulously

  Du Mu's poem is unclear in meaning

  Lu Jing was about to die of anxiety, she tore off the hairband on her head with a few quick movements, "This is it, this can bring me back from the dead!"

  Ma Ming Sheng took a look and felt that this thing was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it on some immortal before.

  Although he couldn't remember it, this object had an ethereal aura surrounding it and was definitely not a mortal product. He didn't have any relationship with Xuan Yi Shangxian, but if he could save his life, why not give it a try?

  "Alright, let's travel through the night"

  An adult was dragging two little kids along. The three of them stumbled out the door and accidentally knocked over a young man who was just entering.

  "Little brother, are you okay?" Ma Ming-sheng hurried forward to help him up, but the middle-aged woman beside the boy was quicker, pulling him into her arms and hiding him behind her.

  "It doesn't matter, you all go ahead," he said with a fit of coughing.

  On the way out of town, Ma Ming-sheng kept thinking about the mother and son he had just seen, feeling a little strange in his heart, but couldn't quite put it into words.

  Lu Jing was impatient with him for walking slowly and urged him to hurry up and drive the cloud.

  "You need to go to an open area to ride the cloud, you can only leave this town" Ma Ming Sheng explained in a good temper.

  "Also, that young man from just now seems to be a disciple of Tiantai Mountain named Dao Jing"

  Duanmu Jiong said with a strange tone: "That's perfect, we can ask him how the immortal in their family is doing?"

  Ma Ming Sheng was somewhat uncertain, "Tiantai Mountain has many disciples, but only Dao Jing is the personal disciple of Xuan Yi Upper Immortal. I have only seen Xuan Yi Upper Immortal from afar once, and I haven't met Dao Jing before, so I couldn't be certain. However, just now I caught a glimpse of the jade pendant he was wearing, its shape and pattern were somewhat similar to those worn by Tiantai Mountain disciples, but the color and material were different. It's been said that Dao Jing has been missing for a year, perhaps I'm being overly cautious."

  "Good grief, who cares about the Taoist's advances and retreats?" Lu Jian listened to their idle chatter, getting more and more anxious, seeing that they had already left the town, urged: "It's wide open enough, hurry up and drive the cloud!"

  At night, driving the cloud to go out of the way is hard work. The farther south we go, the worse the weather gets. When we arrived at Wuyue, it was pouring rain and thunderstorms. By the time everyone entered the Tiantai Mountain area, they were already in a state of disarray.

  Even if they rushed day and night, it took a whole night and half a day to reach the main peak where Jinting Palace City was located.

  Ma Ming Sheng had just landed on the Yun Tai on the mountain waist, but before he could even touch the ground, a fierce killing intent came rushing towards him like a hurricane, forcing him back into mid-air.

  "This is a sacred place of immortals, all idle people leave quickly!" The voice was like a loud bell, but no one was seen.

  Ma Ming Sheng stood in mid-air, facing the direction of the mountain, and made a fist to pay his respects. "I am Ma Ming Sheng from Zhongshan, I heard that the noble body of Xuan Yi Upper Immortal is not feeling well, so I specially prepared a good prescription, just to express my sincerity."

  In a short while, four giant men in armor appeared in mid-air.

  The giant seemed to know Ma Ming Sheng, bowed and was about to say something when he was stopped by Ma Ming Sheng's raised hand.

  He pointed at the deer arrow and said, "The object this young lady is holding is a treasure of the immortal family. She is extremely concerned about the injury of the immortal lord and rushed here overnight, hoping to ask you to pass on a message, so that she can personally present this treasure to the immortal lord."

  The guards consulted with each other and one of them went up to report.

  The three of them finally landed and took a short rest.

  The deer arrow can't sit still, let alone the wet ground is not suitable for sitting. The weather is gloomy and the dark clouds are pressing down very low, it seems like it's going to rain again soon. Her heart feels heavy, she can only walk back and forth to distract herself.

  Fortunately, there was a commotion in an instant. Lu Jian squinted his eyes and looked up to see a huge black dragon rushing straight down from the top of the mountain!

  Bang! The mountain rock was smashed out of a pit, and the black dragon barely stood firm. With a turn of his body, he transformed into a man in black robes.

  "Who has the hair tie?" The man in black saw the red glow floating in Luo Jian's hand, and without any courtesy, he pulled her over. Ma Ming Sheng and Duan Mu Cheng Yang tried to stop him, but were glared back by his raised eyes.

  The deer struggled and wrestled, "Let go of your hand, don't pull me, you have to let me stand firm before giving it to you."

  The man in black robes didn't dare let go, as if he was afraid that once he loosened his grip, he would run away.

  "Niang Niang, don't be rude!" A woman's voice came over, and it was only then that the crowd noticed that there was another girl wearing a yellow goose dress who had come with Niang Niang.

  The girl looks elegant and poised, but at this moment she also has a look of few words.

  "Little sister, I am Mingyue, the maid of Xianjun, what treasure are you taking out?"

  Lu Jing opened Nian Nian's hand and handed her the hairband that had been clenched in his palm.

  Mingyue took a glance at her face and suddenly changed color, without saying another word, she turned around and was about to leave.

  Du Mu Cheng Yang, who had been standing by her side all along, pulled her back with one hand, "You can't leave, we agreed to bring Luo Jian together."

  Not wanting to be seen, Mingyue made a signal with her eyes, and Nianian immediately revealed her true form. Her huge black body suddenly blocked the way in front of everyone, while Mingyue transformed into a yellow light that shot straight up to the top of the clouds.
