The little tree demon Wen Yu from the Spring God Hall accidentally trespassed into the Hall of Talents and inadvertently damaged the Immortal Tree, harming a mortal's longevity branch - causing...
Chapter 328: "Yu Wu Shi——"
He originally thought that this Lord Ju Mang was just Wen Yu's master, but now he feels that it is not that simple.
After Wen Yu's death, this person accepted him into the Spring Temple as a disciple. But what about before that? What was their relationship?
While Yu Chang was still secretly thinking, Ju Mang had already started weaving tassels.
Hearing what he said, Ju Mang seemed to be unable to hold back a sneer, but it was so light and shallow that it was difficult to notice.
Broad-minded? Actually, he's shockingly narrow-minded.
It was fine that Ah Yu saved people back then, but this was an act of salvation for a lifetime, and he had nothing to say.
But she also gave him the first magic weapon she had mastered - Dingyuan Lock, which really made him feel jealous for a long time before he could barely recover.
"I did this just to follow her wishes." Ju Mang did not want to say more.
If it weren't for A Yu's request, he wouldn't have said so much to Yu Chang.
Yu Chang pondered for a moment, then asked with a slight excitement that he himself could not detect, "Since you know what happened in the past, is there any way to make her remember it now...?"
"Ding Yuan has the effect of restoring the soul." Ju Mang finally stopped and looked at Yu Chang with a sharp gaze. "Have you ever thought of putting it on her?"
These words were like a tumble of cold water poured over Yu Chang's head, making him silent and calm at the same time.
He thought about it.
When Wen Yu left him and resigned from the Samsara Department and returned to the Spring Temple, he did think of letting her wear the Dingyuan Lock to see if she would remember anything and to see if this Wen Yu was the same Wen Yu.
But he couldn't bear to do it.
He didn't know whether this was right or not, and he couldn't bear to treat her with suspicion.
After a hundred years of staying at the Wangsheng Inn, the answer no longer seems to matter.
He was just anxious and angry, and his mind was overwhelmed.
Ju Mang saw through Yu Chang's thoughts at a glance, and in fact, wasn't he the same?
Even if he had a choice, he didn't want A Yu to think about the past.
If her health had not deteriorated, he would not have resorted to such a desperate measure and asked Ah Yu to go to Gouwu Mountain... More powerful strength sometimes does not mean better opportunities.
It's also good to just be a free and easy little fairy who does whatever she wants. With him and Chi Huang around, no one will bully her.
It seemed as if he saw the scene of them laughing and joking in the Spring Temple, and Ju Mang couldn't help but smile -
As for the past, what does it matter whether you remember it or not?
"Why... did you tell me these things so easily?" Yu Chang came back to his senses and thought of this.
He had no friendship with Lord Ju Mang, and he even hit the other person's mount just now.
Ju Mang also put his thoughts aside, fixed the handle of the tasseled lamp, lit the candle, and admired it for a moment before handing it off. "I still have things to do. If I don't talk now, I won't have time."
What's more... Ju Mang looked at Yu Chang deeply.
To him and A Yu, Yu Chang, who could both create and destroy the world, who was feared by the three realms and sought after by the six paths, was actually just an innocent child who was born with a strange adventure.
Therefore, Ayu chose to do her best to protect Yu Chang, and he naturally did the same. It was not easy, but there was no need to make things difficult for him.
"What are you going to do?" Looking at the small fish lantern that suddenly appeared in front of him, Yu Chang didn't understand what Ju Mang was going to do with the thing that he had spent a long time to make.
This reminded Chi Huang, who had been silent all the time.
He was still immersed in what Ju Mang had just said and couldn't recover. After all, many of the things he said were the first time he had heard them.
"God? What are you going to do?" Chi Huang suddenly realized what was going on and asked, "Is it the thing written in the book? God, you can't do that!"
The book that the Divine Lord had been holding in his hands for days, he had seen it before at Broken Cloud. What was written on it was...
Is there really no other way?
In a hurry, Chi Huang stretched out his hand to block Ju Mang. The silver bracelets on his arms collided with each other, and the sound was even more worrying.
But Ju Mang didn't even raise his eyebrows, he just lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the slightly reckless big yellow cow with disapproval.
I've followed him for over a thousand years, yet I'm still so impatient.
Yu Chang looked at the two men coldly, one trying to leave and the other trying to stop them, wondering what they were talking about.
In a daze, he unknowingly took the small fish lantern and held it in his hand to examine it.
The inexplicable sense of familiarity made him almost forget how strange it was to receive it from Ju Mang. After all, the two of them had never met before.
Ju Mang turned his fingertips, and the previously unused bamboo strips seemed to have eyes and wrapped around Chi Huang, tying him up tightly.
The early bird catches the worm, but the disobedient ox gets no grass to eat.
"Lord God? What are you doing?" Chi Huang was shocked. He was completely unprepared for Ju Mang and never expected to be restrained. "Even if you must go, please let me go with you—"
Chi Huang's urgency made Ju Mang look even more calm.
He remembered that he was not like this before. At that time, Ayu liked quietness, while he was active and always surrounded her and made noise.
Later, he was like a stone in the river. The long years flowed through his body, polishing him into a round and calm person.
But at this time, Ayu became lively.
Ever since it took root and sprouted in the Wutong Ancestral Temple, it has been curiously looking at the mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, fish and insects with its branches and leaves.
It seems that there is no fixed rule for things in the world, and there has never been an unchanging truth.
"I'll leave Chi Huang in your care for a few days until Ah Yu returns." Ju Mang collected his thoughts and gestured to Yu Chang, "Then you will take care of him for me..."
Before he finished speaking, Ju Mang turned his head slightly and caught a glimpse of the exquisite and unique little fish lantern out of the corner of his eye.
"Forget it, I'll leave this little fish lantern for you to play with." Somehow, Ju Mang suddenly changed his words.
He actually hoped that this lamp could illuminate A-Yu's path at night.
But he knew in his heart that in the endless river of time, the paper fish would never be able to swim to Ayu again.
"What do you mean? Wen Yu doesn't know what happened in the past, so how could he come here?" Yu Chang quickly caught up with him.
He suddenly felt that the small fish lantern was probably very hot, so it would be better to return it to its original owner. "What...what are you going to do?"
Even though they didn't have much of a friendship, Ju Mang had helped him by telling him the truth about what had happened, and Yu Chang couldn't just stand by and watch.
If there's anything he can do to help, he doesn't mind lending a hand.
"She will come." Ju Mang glanced at Yu Chang, then turned his gaze to the vast sea of clouds.
The white cranes are still there, the light is still flowing, and the scenery above seems to have never changed in eons.
The only one absent is its owner.
"Didn't you ask me where this place is?" Ju Mang waved his sleeves, and a crane flew through the clouds and came to his side. "On Chengyun Rock is Ah Yu's former residence."
Before Ju Mang finished speaking, the crane seemed to sense something and let out a deep and mournful cry.
The world wails and the mountains and rivers sob.
Yu Chang's eyes froze, and he subconsciously looked around. He really didn't expect, "What did you say?"
…
On Chengyunyan, the sun rises and the moon sets, and the sea of clouds floats and sinks, but the scenery that has remained unchanged for thousands of years remains, making the changes in people and events seem like an insignificant speck of dust.
Yu Chang was lost in thought, lost in memories, when he suddenly heard a voice—
"Yu Wu Shi."
His straight shoulders froze instantly, like a mountain suddenly collapsing. Yu Chang didn't dare to move.
Even the bickering between Chi Huang and Guan Lan faded away quietly in his ears.
He was afraid that his chaotic thoughts over the past few days had caused him to hallucinate. Otherwise, how could he...
"Such a nice name, why have you never introduced it to me?"
Wen Yu put the Liuyun fan at her waist and smiled at Yu Chang, whom she hadn't seen for many days.
After Gouwu Mountain, she wondered where Yu Chang had gone, but she didn't expect it to be here.
"Wen Yu——" After seeing the person coming, Yu Chang's pupils suddenly shrank, "You..."
Pieces of cold light shattered, and his eyes seemed to turn into the color of spring water.
He didn't know how to describe his shock at the moment. Ju Mang was right. Wen Yu...she had indeed ascended Chengyun Mountain, and it seemed...
He is so thick-skinned and fake, so wise that he is almost like a demon. This Lord Ju Mang really has every plan in mind.
"What did you call me?" Yu Chang stood up in a hurry, not even bothering to fix the wrinkles on his robe. "You...you remember?"
How could this be?
If he had a choice, he thought Ju Mang did not want Wen Yu to recall the past.
Gouwu Mountain...what happened?
Wen Yu stopped where she was, watching Yu Chang's expression changing constantly, and her heart was also filled with complicated emotions.
The fog is gone.
Don't lose it.
This name reminds him not to lose his way. Obviously, Yu Chang has really done it now.
Wen Yu's eyes welled up, and she didn't know whether she was happy for Yu Chang's promise or sad for her own broken promise. "Didn't I tell you not to seek revenge on me back then?"
Why spend millions of years looking for someone who may never come back?
…
When chaos first began, there was no order in the world.
The three realms and six paths are covered in it, and people often compete for survival resources based on their abilities.
It was at this time when he was surrounded by wolves that Yu Chang was born on the banks of the Yuan River.
He was born between heaven and earth with the power to create and destroy the world. If he is not guided to the right path, there are only two possible outcomes.
One is that he is unable to use the power given by heaven and earth for his own benefit, and then becomes possessed.
But this is not bad, because -
Second, before they grow up, they are devoured and eaten up by other big monsters.
Wen Yu had no choice but to suppress him at the bottom of the Yuanshui River, and then use the power of Dingyuan Lock to protect him as much as possible, and agreed to return him to freedom after a thousand years when the chaos subsided.
"A thousand years?" Bai Jiaolong tried his best to break free from the Ding Yuan Lock, but failed. "You might as well kill me, and you'll be dead sooner."
For her who is free, a thousand years is just a moment for her to watch the sunset and half a moment to listen to the sound of rain, but for him who is trapped here, it is countless days and nights.
No, it’s pitch black at the bottom of the Yuanshui River, and you can’t see the sun at all.
Now that he has just been born, it is a good time for him to travel around and broaden his horizons. If he is forced to stay at the bottom of the Yuan River for a thousand years without being able to come out, what difference is there in killing him?
"What's with all the fighting and killing?" Wen Yu summoned Ming Kun and slashed his palm. A drop of bright red blood fell onto the red stone of Ding Yuan Lock. "You're not learning well."
With her blood essence and Dingyuan Lock, at least this handsome little white dragon can be protected from the evildoers, and he can practice peacefully in Yuanshui.
"You are arrogant, rude, and prejudiced." The white dragon bit its half-grown teeth, wishing it could swallow Wen Yu whole. "Do you think you gods are all good people, and I, born a demon, must be a bad species?"
Wen Yu lay on a boulder by the river, watching the evening stars set and the morning light gradually rise. He replied nonchalantly, "I didn't say that."
"and you--"
Bai Jiaolong thought she knew she was in the wrong and was about to press on to argue with her, but then he heard her continue.
"But how do you tell good from bad, and good from evil?"
This question actually stopped the originally aggressive White Dragon. He half-retracted his body into the water, and his beautiful tail gently slapped the surface of Yuanshui Lake.
I didn't rush to refute.
"Only when you truly master power can you have the right to speak." Wen Yu sat up and patted the grass debris on his shoulder. "So, first become stronger."
It will be dawn soon, and she has to go back to water the sycamore trees and feed the cranes. She has no time to start preschool here.
If Zizhan knew that she was meddling in the affairs of fate, he would have to move his bird's nest again.
"A thousand years from now, I will come back to give you your freedom." Wen Yu lifted his robe and wanted to run away quickly.
Seeing her about to leave, Bai Jiaolong hurriedly shouted, "I haven't agreed yet. Who knows if you'll keep your word—"
He is willing to practice here for a thousand years, but he is not willing to be confined to his home for a thousand years.
"That's right, you were born at the beginning of the division of yin and yang, the transition between dusk and dawn." Wen Yucai ignored him and only glanced at the sky. "Let's call you Yu Chang."
The white dragon flicked its tail, and ripples immediately appeared on the surface of Yuanshui Lake. "What Yu Chang?"
"Choose another character." Wen Yu thought for a moment and said seriously, "Wu Shi, Wu Shi, then it will be Yu Wu Shi——"
I hope he practices diligently and never loses his way.
Yu Chang was clearly unhappy with this cheap name he had picked up for free. "Hey, what are you calling me?"
Although he was born and raised by nature, without a father or a mother, he didn't need someone else to give him a name.
"My name is Wen Yu." Wen Yu waved her hand casually but did not stop walking away.
Yu Chang was silent for a moment. Was he asking this?
"If you want to seek revenge on me..." Wen Yu paused, then strode forward, "Forget it, you'd better not seek revenge on me."
After all, who can tell what will happen in the future?
