Chapter 16 A rare bustle in Chongming?
Chu Sheng had completely forgotten about Ling Fengzhi and Gui Xuan at this moment.
As a senior customer of Liangyi Valley, Yun Mengzi has the special treatment of having an exclusive and independent cave even in this medical base.
Yun Mengzi took Chu Sheng into this exclusive cave with familiarity. Chu Sheng only took a glance at the furnishings and knew that Yun Mengzi must have visited this place often, otherwise there would not be such similar furnishings to those inside the Hehuan Sect.
The beautiful master in red clothes and snow-white hair brought Chu Sheng into the main hall, and then she leaned lazily on the armchair at the top.
The distance from Hehuan Sect to Liangyi Valley almost spans the entire world of cultivation. After Yun Mengzi discovered that there was something wrong with Chu Sheng's soul lamp, he gave Guizhi Fuling a death stare, and then it took him less than three days to reach the destination.
Even a Mahayana cultivator with the power to shrink the earth to an inch couldn't avoid the constant fatigue of traveling. Yun Mengzi first found a familiar position in the chair, then slowly let out a sigh of relief, then looked at Chu Sheng and waved.
"Sheng'er, why are you standing so far away? Come here, let me take a look at you..."
"Master, I was wrong."
Chu Sheng looked at Yun Mengzi along the way and said nothing, but his expression relaxed a lot when he saw him. He felt that he had been tormented for a long time. Now that he stopped at his residence, he couldn't help but admit his mistake first.
Yun Mengzi treated Chu Sheng as if she were his own daughter. Even when everyone thought Chu Sheng was a waste, Yun Mengzi still firmly chose her as his only successor.
Whether facing a world of cultivation that he knew nothing about, or a cultivation that he had never encountered before, Yun Mengzi gave his all to provide guidance and help to Chu Sheng.
He never lacked skills like magic formulas and sword techniques, and he could even get whatever he wanted, including spirit stones and magical instruments. He not only personally searched through ancient books to find skills suitable for Chu Sheng to practice, but he even equipped her with a flying boat as a means of transportation since she hadn't yet established her foundation...
In this world of cultivation, what Yun Mengzi did, not to mention between master and disciple, even biological parents rarely treat their children like this!
Chu Sheng is not the kind of child who does not know the importance of things. After so many years, she has long truly regarded Yun Mengzi as a reliable elder and the safest home in the world.
It was also because of this that when facing his master who had come from afar out of concern for his safety, Chu Sheng could not utter a word to defend himself. The only thing he could do was to walk up to Yun Mengzi and admit his mistake.
"I shouldn't have been so greedy and reckless. I shouldn't have forcibly endured the overbearing power of the medicine just because I felt my mind skills could improve. I certainly shouldn't have taken such a risk under the thunder tribulation..."
"Hey, it's rare for a master to come all this way. Could it be that it's just to hear his disciple admit his mistakes on Fuling's territory?"
Yun Mengzi interrupted Chu Sheng's self-reflection. He stretched out his hand and touched Chu Sheng's cheek in the air, his eyes full of heartache.
"I feel like I've lost weight again. Did I not get enough rest in Liangyi Valley?"
Before Chu Sheng could answer, Yun Mengzi, who had just caught his breath, returned to his defiant character when facing Si Chun in the Hehuan Sect, and started to scold him.
"I knew that old Guizhi Fuling was a wicked man, and his son is no better..."
The beautiful master slapped the armrest vigorously and started cursing.
"I summoned you, Sheng'er, to Liangyi Valley so you could rest and recuperate. You suddenly broke through a realm in one breath, and I don't know how many hidden injuries you have in your body that need to be treated. Yet, he actually dared to use my precious child to test medicine!"
"Master, Master, you misunderstood!" Seeing that Yun Mengzi's words were getting more and more outrageous, Chu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Yun Mengzi's hand, and took the initiative to put his cheek against the hand which was particularly cold.
"I haven't lost weight, I've just grown taller. The drug trial has nothing to do with Gui Guzhu and Gui Xuan. Ultimately, I agreed to it after some consideration!"
After many years, Yun Mengzi felt his heart melt when his own disciple took the initiative to approach him like they did when they were children. He no longer mentioned anything about Liangyi Valley and performed a face-changing trick for Chu Sheng on the spot.
"Good, good, it's good that you've grown taller. It means our Sheng'er has become even more beautiful. Are those robes prepared in the mustard seed enough for a change? I'll ask Duobao Pagoda to send some new and fashionable styles in a few days. At your age, you'll look good in anything..."
Chu Sheng let Yun Mengzi grab her from head to toe and fondle her for a long time. After a while, she finally had time to ask.
"Master, you suddenly came to Liangyi Valley to find me, but what happened in the sect?"
"Didn't I tell you before? I'm afraid Sheng'er will get too obsessed with this place and forget about the sect competition." Yun Mengzi held a jade hairpin in his hand and fiddled with it for a long time before finding the position he wanted and then pinned it on Chu Sheng's head.
Chu Sheng, who really didn't want to go, laughed awkwardly twice when he heard that.
"It's just a sect competition. I haven't been there before, so it's not necessary for Master to mobilize so many troops..."
"That's wrong. This year's sect competition is different from previous years. I will definitely let you compete."
Yun Mengzi looked at Chu Sheng wearing the jade hairpin with joy, and the appreciation and satisfaction in her eyes were almost overflowing.
"Only disciples who have participated in the sect competition and achieved victory are eligible to participate in the Dharma Cultivation Competition and compete for a place on the Heavenly Prodigy Ranking..."
"The old masters of Zhongnan Dao Sect have invested heavily this year, even willing to open up the ancient ruins they've been holding onto as a venue. I, your master, must ensure you catch this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Chu Sheng carefully held her head to prevent her hair from being messed up by her movements, then raised her eyes and looked at Yun Mengzi with an indescribable look and complained.
"Master, that's a list of geniuses that only opens once every few hundred years, and ancient relics that are frighteningly rare, yet you call it a once-in-a-lifetime excitement..."
When he was still staying in the Hehuan Sect and had never left, Chu Sheng did not think that there was anything special about his master because everyone around him was so pretentious.
Because wherever Chu Sheng could see, all the monks were dressed too exaggeratedly.
This exaggeration even gave Chu Sheng a false impression. He thought he hadn't traveled to the world of cultivation, but had stumbled into some high-magic martial arts game, only the sphere of influence he had fallen into was somewhere like the Western Regions...
Why else would she see so many people with tangled gold chains dangling from their legs and bodies, easily tangled, sparkling gems everywhere, and beautiful capes whose tassels clattered and made melodious sounds when the wind blew...wasn't this really gaming gear?!
In fact, it is not surprising that the Hehuan Sect caused Chu Sheng to have such a misunderstanding.
This once-glorious sect is located in the Southern Desert. For tens of thousands of years, the desert has been filled with yellow sand and scorching temperatures. Without a deep understanding of the nature of this world, it's easy to confuse it with the Western Regions of the past.
Legend has it that the land of Mo Nan wasn't originally called Mo Nan. Tens of thousands of years ago, this place was just like the rest of the cultivation world, nothing special about it.
But in ancient times, a group of monks engaged in a devastating battle in the region where the two continents now stand. This protracted and bitter conflict rewrote the fate of both continents, cracking the once peaceful earth, diverting the course of surging rivers, crumbling lush mountains, and wiping out the once abundant vitality.
After the battle lasted for hundreds of years, the monks who possessed the power to destroy the world finally stopped their dispute. At this time, the endless yellow sand had completely buried the originally fertile soil. The fierce wind kept uprooting the roots of the giant trees, destroying any life under the flying sand.
Faced with the world devastated by their war, several powerful men of the time stayed behind, determined to rebuild this tormented land.
One of the mighty ones chose to open a new dojo in the southern desert, swearing an oath to the Heavenly Dao, to use his boundless spiritual power to continuously cleanse and nourish the lifeless silence of this place until greenery reappeared.
No one knows what happened to this powerful man, but after tens of thousands of years of legends, he was revered as the ancestor above the founding father by all the sects of cultivation in Mo Nan Continent under the name of Chongming Immortal Venerable.
Yes, the word Chongming in this "Chongming Immortal Venerable" is exactly the last "Chongming" engraved on the huge stone.
He rebuilt the order of the land of Mo Nan, and it is no surprise that the overall aesthetics of Mo Nan Continent was influenced by the passionate, flamboyant, lively and unrestrained style of this Chongming Immortal Venerable.
Under such conditions, the monks in Mo Nan Continent prefer things with bright colors and luster. Everyone wants to hang rare treasures on their body like a display stand, which looks very beautiful when it shines brightly under the sun.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse. As a sect whose ancestors were once wealthy, the Hehuan Sect is even more excessive than ordinary sects in this regard. Yun Mengzi, who likes to wear red clothes and is generous, does not seem out of place in such an environment.
But after Sheng left Yun Mengzi's protection and came into contact with the real world of cultivation, she began to realize more and more how different her master was from other people!
However, when it comes to the word "Chongming"...
Recalling the experience of being struck by thunder after discovering the giant stone within Yunshui Xuantian, Chu Sheng, who always suspected that the stone was causing trouble, raised his head and asked Yun Mengzi very naturally, "Master, speaking of that Chongming Immortal Venerable..."
Yun Mengzi raised his hand nonchalantly, and in front of Chu Sheng's stunned expression, he waved away the thunder that suddenly appeared again and struck here at the speed of light, as if he was shooing away an annoying fly.
"Every time I come to Futu Island, I always feel that it's too noisy... Hmm? Sheng'er, what did you just say to your master?"
