Chapter 73 Zi Tong Sect
About two hours later, Yang Ying and the other three arrived at the foot of a fairy mountain. There was a large golden-yellow light curtain formed by the sect-protecting formation, which was where the Zi Tong sect was located.
As soon as the four landed, a disciple at the middle Foundation Establishment stage who guarded the mountain gate came up. His eyes were full of respect and he bowed deeply: “This disciple welcomes the three Martial Uncles back! Why, is this brother…?”
The disciple was a little confused when he saw the three martial uncles returning with such a foolish young man. He could not even feel a trace of the young man’s aura!
Yang Ying said softly, “Martial nephew need not be so courteous. We met this man unexpectedly when we were traveling. Because of some special reasons, I decided to bring him back to the sect for the time being. In a moment, I will bring him to the sect master.”
The disciple dared not delay them any longer, so he immediately entered the formation and opened the channel. They entered the formation with the silly young man.
Returning to the sect, Qi Yuantian and Ji Chang both left. Qi Yuantian had an angry intent in his eyes, like he wanted to eat someone up. This left Yang Ying feeling slightly helpless. But she was not worried about anything. After all, she had more authority than all the senior martial brothers here.
“Dumb Kid, listen to me. My name is Yang Ying, a pro-disciple of Zi Tong Fairy of the Zi Tong Sect. After a while, we will go in. Then you have to listen to me. When I ask you to bow, you bow; after bowing, when I ask you to get up, then you get up. Do you understand?” Yang Ying told this to him in a soft voice as she walked with Dumb Kid.
“Understand! Understand! What Ying’er says, I will do!” Dumb Kid responded quickly this time.
“From now on, you can only call me ‘Fairy Yang’, but you can’t call me’ Ying’er’, you know?” Yang Ying considered this to be a very important issue. Although she said it in a light way when she discussed this with Qi Yuantian earlier, it was better to make it clear now.
“Ying’er, relax!” Dumb Kid patted his chest hard and gave her a sign which looked like a silly smile, in exchange for Yang Ying’s bitter smile.
At this time, a huge figure over 30 meters high appeared in front of them. Yang Ying came towards the statue and bowed three times respectfully before continuing to take Dumb Kid to a golden hall ahead.
There were two white-robed men at the late Gold Core stage at the entrance of the hall. They met the two of them and bowed respectfully at the same time. One of them said: “The ancestor of the sect is in it. She has instructed that when you arrive, you can go in without notice.”
Yang Ying swiftly bowed back and said thanks, then slowly stepped into the hall with Dumb Kid.
Deep in the hall, a tall, silver-haired woman in purple stood with her back towards them. Seemingly aware of someone coming, she slowly turned around. An extremely beautiful face was shown then. This woman had the same fresh and elegant endowment as Yang Ying and also had a temperament that was not mortal like.
“Wow, elder sister you are so beautiful! But you are not better looking than Ying’er in my family. Hey hey hey hey.” As soon as Dumb Kid uttered these words, Yang Ying was shocked and shouted angrily: “Dumb Kid, don’t be rude! This is the sect master! You should quickly kneel down to make amends soon! Master, his mind seems to be incomplete, but he is the only person who was in the vicinity of the position you determined. I ask master to forgive him for his rudeness! ”
Originally, the brows of the Zi Tong Fairy had furrowed slightly when she heard Dumb Kid’s rude words. But when she heard the name “Dumb Kid”, she suddenly shook as if she had been hit by a stroke by a lightning and stared at the s.h.a.ggy, silly man in front of her.
Hearing Yang Ying asking him to kneel, Dumb Kid “Hey Hey” laughed, bent his legs and started to kneel. At this moment, a force came against his knees, which seemed to prevent him from kneeling.
“Huh?” Dumb Kid was stunned. Then he forced himself against the strength that was pushing against him and strove to kneel again. In his mind, Ying’er’s words were to be obeyed!
“Ying’er, don’t let him kneel, I can’t bear it…” Yang Ying was shocked, because at this time, the Master was no longer her usual calm and indifferent self and a stream of glittering tears flowed down her cheeks. Meanwhile, as soon as she waved, the three people in the temple were behind in a silver light curtain.
At the same time, Dumb Kid’s ragged clothes had been turned into a spotless white robe and his hair had been tidied up. Now he looked more like a young farmer with a slightly dark complexion.
“Ying’er, I can’t kneel down!” Dumb Kid pouted with a pitiful look.
“You, you don’t have to kneel, just stand!” Now that her master had instructed her, how could she still let Dumb Kid kneel! What’s more, her master’s words “can’t bear it” really surprised her.
A moment later, Zi Tong Fairy seemed to have recovered a little. She came to Dumb Kid and kept looking at his face. Gradually, tears fell to the ground like beads falling from a broken string of pearls and her mouth was still muttering to herself: “Is this the man you asked me to take care of when you left? Rest a.s.sured, you can trust me with things, I must do it! After so long, do you remember little Zi?”
Yang Ying had been deeply shocked. Normally, the master was always serious with a cold face As the master of a Almighty Immortal, at this moment, she actually manifested as a gentle and sentimental little girl! Obviously, the great secret in the master’s heart had something to do with the person in front of her. Of course, she would not be foolish enough to take the initiative to ask, if the master wanted to reveal it, she would naturally tell her.
Dumb Kid laughed wildly and looked at the Zi Tong Fairy curiously for a while, then asked: “Sister, why is your hair white?”
At this moment, Zi Tong Fairy had gradually recovered her mood. On hearing this question, she smiled: “Because there is someone who once said that this is the most beautiful color in the world.”
Looking at her master’s happy att.i.tude, Yang Ying was also happy and was glad to be able to do this thing for her master, from the bottom of her heart. It seemed that she really did not find the wrong person! Then, as if she had remembered something, she said in a respectful voice: “Your master, I went alone, but I met Qi Yuantian and Ji Chang halfway up the road. Qi Yuantian was afraid that I was not safe, so he insisted on following me. Since it was at the time and place that master had told me, I had to bring them along with me to find Dumb Kid.” Later, Yang Ying described what had happened.
Zi Tong Fairy pondered for a moment and said softly: “It’s all right. After all, it’s just fine as Dumb Kid was not injured. Later, you will say that this man is the descendant of my old friend. He will be staying in the sect for some time. In a moment, you take him directly to the back hill and let him stay in that wooden house! ”
Yang Ying first nodded, then asked doubtfully: “Master, that is the basic forbidden land of our Zi Tong Sect. I thought it was out of bounds to everyone except you?”
Zi Tong Fairy’s face showed that she recalled the matter and then whispered: “If Dumb Kid is the person I’m looking for, it’s certainly possible. That’s what that person asked for. So, it doesn’t matter.”
After arranging everything, Yang Ying withdrew from the light curtain with Dumb Kid and then walked slowly out of the hall.
Dumb Kid followed Yang Ying to the back hill. The whole back hill was completely bare. It was appropriate to describe it as a place without an inch of gra.s.s. The only building was an old wooden house. There was a colorful barrier behind the wooden house.
Yang Ying pushed open the door of the wooden house. What struck their eyes was the freshness and tidiness that was such a contrast from the old appearance of the house. On the clean floor, there was a small table, two wooden chairs, a wooden bed and a wooden sword hanging on the wall.
Yang Ying took Dumb Kid into the house, took out a jade pendant for him first and then said in a formal tone: “Dumb Kid, this is where you rest. If something happens, you can pa.s.s a message through this jade pendant to me. You can go anywhere in the whole back hill, but try not to go up the front hill, so as not to be bullied by the bad disciples. In Zi Tong Sect, there is a formation that strictly prohibits fighting, so in any case, you should inform me first and never hurt anyone! Otherwise, the backlash force of formation cannot be overcome by your cultivation level of Gold Core stage. Do you understand?”
“Understand! Dumb Kid knows that Ying’er is looking out for me. Dumb Kid is not going anywhere, so I will stay with Ying’er.” Dumb Kid revealed a silly laugh and his eyes showed an irresistible touch of tenderness.
Looking at Dumb Kid who smiled at her with silly dumbness, Yang Ying suddenly had a strange idea in her mind: “The Ying’er in his heart must be deeply loved by him. She is the one whom he talks about all the time. If someone has this sort of infatuation for me, I should be very happy…”
Now that it had been arranged, Yang Ying got up to leave, but as soon as she came to the door, Dumb Kid followed her.
Yang Ying pointed helplessly to the bed and said, “Dumb Kid, it’s time for you to rest. I should go back too. Don’t follow me.”
Dumb Kid suddenly burst into tears and said, “Ying’er doesn’t want me? What did I do wrong? “Forgive me, don’t leave me!” After that, he sat down on the ground and cried.
Yang Ying gritted her teeth and said softly: “Dumb Kid, it’s getting late now. Can I come back and see you early tomorrow morning? You have to rest tonight. Ying’er has to rest too, right?”
When Dumb Kid heard these words, he turned, stopped crying and his silly smile came back. He nodded and said: “Oh, Ying’er still wants me! Okay, I will rest! Ying’er will also rest! Come to me every day! Or I’ll go and find you!”
Yang Ying gave a bitter laugh, waved and disappeared outside. Dumb Kid gazed for a moment and went to bed to rest.
Suddenly, a black cat suddenly appeared in the empty sky and instantly appeared on top of Dumb Kid’s head. Already snoring slightly, Dumb Kid suddenly sat up and lost his silliness. He glanced at himself and looked around.
A moment later, he grinned: “Black, how fast you have arrived! Well done! It is better for the recovery of mind. Hahaha, Pangu Origin World! I, Lyu Liang, have come! Ying’er, wait for me!”
“Little Liang, don’t be too happy first. This gla.s.s bead is really hard to handle. I can only temporarily suppress this seal with the help of the True Devil Qi. If I am not wrong, you will revert to that state of foolishness by early tomorrow morning. The only difference is that your spirit can recover all its senses, but it still can’t control your behavior in its foolish state. Every night, you will be able to have a few hours of clarity and only until I totally break this bead will you then be completely restored!” Black’s tone was flat. Lyu Liang listened, but he was not too discouraged.
“So, if I give you time, I can recover completely? How long will it be? Don’t say it will be for eighteen thousand years, I don’t want to be such a fool for such a long time in the daytime!” Lyu Liang had complete faith in Black. Listening to his calm tone, he knew that it would not be too long, but he still wanted to understand.
Black thought for a little while and said softly, “Anyway, it’s going to take about a year. In the meantime, you can just stay here. These people here seem to be nice to you. After my travels these days, I found that this sect belongs to the strength of lower-cla.s.s. But it’s strange that the first-cla.s.s sects can’t possibly possess the big sect-protecting formation! Also, the statues at the entrance of the main hall, when you have time, you should pay more attention to it. Why do I feel that they are so much like you and me?”
Lyu Liang thought for a moment and nodded. “Well, I’ll trouble you to help me recover. In these silly days, my soul will occasionally be awakened so I roughly understand things here. As for the statues, I didn’t notice it. Nevertheless, it doesn’t matter. I’ve never seen that silver-haired master before. It should have nothing to do with us.”
