Chapter 70 (Chapter 70) Name
Qingjue smiled as he watched the man quiet down before continuing, "We all know that the rights and names of the people of Shoushan are strongly related. Senior Shen Guisong died unexpectedly. Before the transfer of power, Aju had not yet fully taken human form. However, Jieyou saw Aju's future face through his artificial heavenly eye."
Aju looked at his senior brother on the left and his master on the right in disbelief and said, "No way, I'm really not even a human being."
Mu Yuan comforted him, "Actually, there isn't much difference. It's just that the way they are formed is different. We fairies are also born from the gathering of spirits."
Jie Zhoujian also said, "Well, no matter who you are, you are our junior brother, and now you don't need to guard the mountain anymore, you are already free."
Yun Yuelin: "This information was indeed well hidden; even I didn't know about it. I remember the person who killed over a hundred demonic beasts was..."
He looked at Qingjue.
Although Qingjue didn't think he was the one who did it, now that he had taken on this identity, he admitted, "It was me. I did it all by myself."
This strength is truly terrifying. He accomplished something that had been unsolved for hundreds of years by his predecessors all by himself.
Ruan Linglai said, "Master must be one of those geniuses who appears only once in a thousand years in a storybook."
Yan Shiqun: "Am I the only one still curious about what the name is? Can you guys please stop changing the subject?"
Aju quickly waved his hand: "If it's something that sounds harsh, then there's no need to say it."
Qingjue pronounced each word clearly and distinctly: "It's not hard to hear. The mountain guardians' surnames have always been 'Shen' (神), with only the 'Ju' (居) suffix because their authority is not yet fully complete. The eighth-generation mountain guardian of Shuofeng is named—"
He wrote these three characters on the Xuan paper.
The Divine Child Abode.
Upon seeing these three words, Aju indeed felt a sense of familiarity mixed with resistance.
Wen Tianyu: "He sounds like someone who can shoulder great responsibilities. Little Aju has grown into a handsome young man."
Yun Yuelin pondered: "A special identity that can be forgotten is indeed interesting... To come up with this method, sealing the demonic beasts of Shuofeng is truly genius... But what exactly is the underlying principle..."
Mu Yuan: "Now the grudges of Yuanmuyuan have been settled, the last wish of Jiujie Guisong has been fulfilled, and the next generation of mountain guardians has been found. All thanks to the Immortal Lord and his brave and resourceful disciples."
Ruan Linglai: "Yes, yes, and I think Aju's original name was very nice."
"...It's just so-so, not very nice to listen to," Aju pushed the Xuan paper away and turned her head away: "You can just call me Aju."
That's nonsense. How could he have such an identity? He's clearly just an orphan who was taken in by his master by chance.
Qingjue indeed felt that this was reasonable. After all, given the powerful background of the main characters, Aju's identity seemed too ordinary, and it was obvious that he was hiding something big.
However, the way this identity was revealed was a bit too bland. Jieyou was already dead, and the plan had failed. If they hadn't dragged her out and forced her to ask, wouldn't they have never known Aju's identity in the end?
If this were truly a novel, the author probably wouldn't have arranged it this way.
However, a simple and peaceful life is the best, and Qingjue doesn't reject this approach either.
Everything is under their control, and everything is developing the way they want. No one can dislike this trend of human determination overcoming nature.
It's better than him transmigrating into a tragic novel where life and death are irreversible, and watching everyone else die one by one.
However, there is still one more thing waiting for them to solve.
The seal of Qianlun Mountain.
Without a doubt, everything is proceeding according to the original plot. These scumbags, who haven't been eliminated, will definitely cause trouble.
Things are different now; they just need to figure out how to break the seal.
"You want me to help break the seal on the Demonic Sect? Are you crazy?" Yun Yuelin, of course, would never agree: "Impossible!"
He had previously sensed that some of Qingjue's disciples were not simple, and he had his doubts. However, he felt that although this person was sometimes unreliable, he was at least reliable, so he didn't say anything.
His lack of involvement does not mean he agrees with it.
In any case, he will absolutely not get involved in this matter.
Although Qingjue knew this, he didn't expect him to help: "Of course not, the matter of Qianlun Mountain has nothing to do with you, but we don't want to hide this from you. At least we will tell you what we are going to do."
That way, even if something unexpected happens, we'll have a backup plan to deal with it promptly.
Yun Yue frowned: "...I'm going back to the mountain prison to see Li Wei. You two continue your conversation."
Finding something to distract himself and ignoring everything else was the biggest concession he could make.
Qingjue reassured the group of people who were looking at Yun Yuelin, saying, "It's alright, he didn't object, so he agreed."
Mu Yuan: "Immortal Lord, please tell me how I can help with this, as long as it doesn't harm anyone else..."
"Don't worry, Xiao Yanzi is absolutely safe if she regains the position of Demon Lord."
Yan Shiqun raised his head: "I would never do such a petty thing. The Demonic Sect does not need to merge with the righteous path, but the two are by no means irreconcilable."
Wen Tianyu: "Indeed, one of the reasons they interfered in sealing the demonic cultivation territory was because they were afraid of Ayan's power. The cultivation world was not peaceful at that time, and there was constant internal strife. Now it's different. It is indeed the best time to reshape the two forces."
“I don’t know why,” Qingjue secretly reconciled with Zhoujian, “it’s really strange to see the descendants of the Heavenly Eye and the Demon Lord himself forming such a united front.”
The righteous chosen ones and the leaders of the demonic cultivators are now sitting together, discussing how to help the Demon Lord become the new leader of the demonic cultivators.
Which storybook would dare to write like this?
“Master taught us well,” Jie Zhoujian replied. “You taught us the right values from a young age. Ayan no longer hates the righteous path, and her expression in the Heavenly Language is becoming more and more fluent.”
They don't have to live with a single identity; they can choose to make close friends and live in this world as individuals.
Qingjue also recognized his educational achievements and was very pleased.
Ruan Linglai asked, "Does anyone else have any better ideas? That seal has gathered various forces, so it must be difficult to break."
Wen Tianyu said, "I think we can go back to Jingge first. There must be a lot of scrolls and magical artifacts that have not yet been taken away. Maybe we can find some ways to break the seal there."
Jie Zhoujian agreed: "That's right. After all, if they could take everything with them, those beasts would definitely burn down Jingge as well."
Wen Tianyu nodded: "That's feasible. There will definitely be a lot of things to deal with when we get back. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it all by myself. I'll need everyone's help."
Ruan Linglai: "What are you saying? We're like brothers, it's only right that we help each other, right?"
Mu Yuan also said, "Then I will stay in Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and Liuchun for a while. If anything happens, you can send me a message in time. In case of emergency, you can also call me by blowing the wooden whistle."
"Thank you again, Miss Muyuan."
"You flatter me, Immortal Lord. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be sitting here right now."
Throughout the entire discussion, only Aju, who had just learned his real name, seemed distracted. Usually full of clever ideas, he barely uttered a single word this time.
Qingjue raised him single-handedly; how could he not know what was on his mind?
This child is clearly confused by the information he just received.
That's a very heavy identity.
"We've finished our discussion. Shouldn't we tell Young Master Yun that we're leaving now?"
After Ruan Linglai finished speaking, Yan Shiqun also said, "Yes, there's no time to lose. We must take back my position as soon as possible. Let's go back and rest for a while, and set off tomorrow to find Jingge."
Qingjue said, "Then you should go out and inform the Yun family head and young master Yun. Little Aju's braid is a bit loose. I'll re-braid it for him and come back soon."
Aju looked up. He was never too lazy to style his hair; he simply tied all his hair loosely at the back of his head with a hair tie.
He doesn't have any braids, so how could his hairstyle possibly fall apart?
...It seems that his master knew he had something on his mind and deliberately kept him behind to try and comfort him.
The others tactfully left as well. Qingjue took out a comb from his Qiankun bag, untied his hairband, sat behind him, and began to comb his hair.
"I suddenly remembered when we were kids, you all kept nagging me to do your hair, saying I did it the best. But since Linglai is a girl, I always did her hair first."
"Master...I..."
"Say what you want to say, it's no problem, I'll take care of everything."
“…I don’t want to be a mountain guardian, I don’t want to be a divine abode, I just want you to continue calling me Little Aju, I just want to be your junior brother…” As Aju spoke, his nose tingled with emotion: “I, I, I simply cannot bear such a great responsibility. I am playful and hate studying, I can’t even concentrate on the books that Senior Brother Wen gave me… How can I guard such a big mountain by myself?”
Although he is now a free man, who knows what might happen in the future?
Welcome back to the legendary monster Shuofeng, but what if he has to face a lonely fate again?
He clearly only wanted to stay in Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, to stay in the "Shangri-La" in the middle of Shuiyun Lake, and to stay with his master, fellow disciples, and senior sisters...
"Don't you always say that you are Xiaoyanzi's senior brother?"
“That’s different… I know I’m not as good as him, I was just joking around with him…” Aju said, “I can’t even be a good senior brother, how can I be a good mountain guardian?”
He didn't quite understand what responsibility or mission meant.
He is 19 years old this year and has never experienced anything like life or death. He was even afraid when he was possessed by a Gu worm.
The epic tales they spoke of, the heroic sacrifices they made, sounded completely irrelevant to him.
If he were separated from his master and the others, he would probably be a cowardly coward who clings to life and death. How could he have such a splendid title?
Therefore, he felt that there must be some mistake. He was just a child who happened to have the same name. How could he be some kind of guardian deity?
If you asked him to selflessly sacrifice himself, he'd probably run away faster than anyone else.
