Chapter 287 "Get out of the way."
The moon hung in the middle of the sky, the clouds dispersed, and the light blue light touched Taihao's eyebrows, making his face look like frosty snow.
He did not answer Dan Qing's question, but just looked quietly in the direction where Wen Yu left, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Seeing Jia Tingxi and his men blocking the way, Dan Qing stood in front of Tai Hao anxiously and angrily, "Master? Master?"
Back Spring Mountaintop——
Between the mountains and over the verdant hills, the Wutong Ancestral Temple, like an old friend who cannot speak, is quietly awaiting the arrival of everyone.
Wen Yu had never seen it so... dilapidated.
In the night, the Wutong Ancestral Temple seemed to be covered with a layer of quiet blue, and bits of stars fell down, casting some light on the closed door.
In the past, when the incense was flourishing, even at night, this place was brightly lit, as if it were daytime. It had never been like this before...
For some reason, Wen Yu suddenly took a half step back.
This is where she took root, sprouted, and enlightened all living beings. It is where she has been bathed in incense and absorbed nutrients for thousands of years. It is the Wutong Ancestral Temple where her master enlightened her and helped her transform.
The so-called homesickness is nothing more than this.
Yu Chang and Wen Yu stopped, and Chen Zhizhi and others behind them also stopped.
Houchun Mountain is the cave residence of the God of Spring, and Wutong Ancestral Temple is the master's temple, which is closely related to his divinity. It is amazing that it has declined to this extent now.
It would have been fine if her master had never mentioned it to her, but why had Chi Huang remained silent? What had happened in the three hundred years since she was away from the Spring Temple?
In a trance, Wen Yu lost the strength in her hands, and was caught off guard and was broken free by Zhu Shiming who saw the opportunity.
"You clumsy, stupid woman." Zhu Zhao held the back of his neck with one hand and pinched his extremely aching spine, "You hurt me!"
Yu Chang glanced at him coldly, and in an instant, Zhu Shiming was silenced.
In the silent night, Chen Zhizhi and Su Jianbai protected Wen Liangyi on the left and right, and the three of them bent their bodies as much as possible to reduce their presence.
This cat-eared young man actually dared to challenge the authority of Lord Yu Chang. They didn't dare. Su Jianbai was very honest at this moment. Thinking of what happened in the cave, his tail still hurt.
Zhao Buwen smiled but said nothing. He walked back and forth around the Wutong Ancestral Temple as if nothing had happened. "Wen Yujun, is this the Spring Temple of Ju Mangjun? Let's go in and take a look--"
Don’t let this ignorant Banban really cause any trouble.
Wen Yu naturally wouldn't really bother with Zhu Shiming. With so many things going on right now, she couldn't care less about anything else.
After nodding to Zhao Buwen, Wen Yu stepped up the stone steps in front of the door step by step.
There are mosses and weeds everywhere.
The outside was so desolate that Wen Yu didn't dare to imagine how bad it would be inside if the monsters and ghosts were locked up.
No matter how patient she was, she couldn't help but turn her head and glare at Zhu Shiming. The latter swallowed and looked back at Wen Yu in the same confused manner.
How dare you mess with the God of Spring? Don't you know that you are really letting Zhu Shiming do whatever he wants?
Wen Yu took deep breaths, trying to suppress the restlessness in her heart. She only felt a surge of air hitting her chest and causing pain.
Compared to Zhu Shiming's lawlessness, perhaps, she hated her own ignorance even more.
As Wen Yu raised her sleeves, the heavy door slowly moved, revealing the situation in the courtyard to everyone.
The expected mess did not occur, nor did the ferocious fight between monsters and spirits happen.
"What...what is this?" Wen Liangyi wasn't frightened at all. Instead, he stared at the scene in the courtyard with shining eyes. "Houchun Mountain...Wanshou Garden?"
Curiosity drove him to leave Chen Zhizhi and Su Jianbai behind and quickly catch up. He then hid behind Wen Yu and stuck half of his head out, "Auntie, look?"
Wen Yu didn't bother to answer him, but just looked towards the courtyard with a frown.
In stark contrast to the dilapidated exterior, the Wutong Ancestral Hall is lush with vegetation and free from dust. It's easy to see that all this is thanks to—
There are more than a hundred monsters of different sizes and appearances.
At this moment, everyone was holding brooms in their hands, rags on their shoulders, basins of water in their arms, and standing on bamboo ladders, cleaning every corner of the yard.
The originally chaotic yet orderly march was forced to be interrupted because of the arrival of Wen Yu and others, and they looked at her, the intruder, in silence.
Wen Yu paused, not knowing where to start.
She seemed to have played the wrong note, totally out of tune with the composed melody.
Zhu Shiming did not lie. The little demons he captured were indeed locked up in the Wutong Ancestral Temple... and were sweeping the courtyard.
"This, this kind of scene..." Chen Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed, "It really is..."
As she pulled Wen Liangyi off Wen Yu, she thought to herself that it was truly a spectacular sight. Although she had encountered many strange things during her years of practicing Taoism, she had rarely seen such a situation and scale.
Su Jianbai looked left and right and found that only he and Yu Chang were still there. He fled to Chen Zhizhi in a panic as if being pushed by something.
He didn't want to stay with Yu Chang, this cold-faced evil spirit.
"The exotic beasts and rare treasures of Qingqiu and Yousu are truly dazzling and countless."
Seeing that Chen Zhizhi ignored her arrival, Su Jianbai stiffened her neck and muttered. While she was being harsh with her words, her eyes couldn't help but linger on the hands of her and Wen Liangyi holding together.
"A mere demon beast is nothing special. If you...you go back with me in the future, it will be an eye-opener!"
While he spoke in a seemingly arrogant manner, he couldn't help but glance at Chen Zhizhi's reaction.
The result was... this little girl didn't react at all.
Chen Zhizhi turned a deaf ear to Su Jianbai's words, and just discussed the fish and the bear with Wen Liangyi.
Today's Wutong Ancestral Temple really has all kinds of birds and beasts, as well as aquatic and terrestrial creatures.
In the end, she even forgot what she originally wanted to do. She and Wen Liangyi held Wen Yu's elbows on both sides and hid behind their aunt to watch the fun.
"Hey!" Su Jianbai opened his eyes wide and looked at Chen Zhizhi in disbelief.
This little Daoist is really unethical. After all, he has been busy with her all day, so why is he treating him, treating him...
It would be fine if they had no respect for him, but how could they not even have an ounce of sympathy for him?
You have to know that in Qingqiu and Yousu, it has always been others who come to curry favor with him. How could he ever work hard for others for nothing?
Su Jianbai was anxious and angry. The more he thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became. He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to step forward to separate the annoying Chen Zhizhi and Wen Liangyi.
But before Su Jianbai could touch even half of Chen Zhizhi's clothes, Yu Chang, who had come up from nowhere, arrived in front of him.
Yu Chang's expression was indifferent, even a little apathetic. He pushed Su Jianbai's head back with one hand, and threw away Wen Liangyi who was hanging on Wen Yu with the other hand.
He felt annoyed just by looking at these two young boys, and as for...
Looking down, Yu Chang frowned at the remaining Chen Zhizhi, who was Wen Yu's old friend.
All the people on that day have passed away like the wind, and now only this one is left.
While hesitating, Yu Chang did not move.
Chen Zhizhi, who turned around after hearing the sound, blinked innocently a few times and then consciously took a few steps back and let go of the hand that was holding his aunt.
She even raised her hands to distance herself from Yu Chang.
He likes people who know what's interesting.
Although he didn't say much, Yu Chang's relaxed brow betrayed his good mood at the moment. He and Wen Yu stood side by side, looking at the situation in the yard together.
Wen Yu's master... Ju Mang...
He recognized this deity, and he had also been to the Wutong Ancestral Temple.
"See? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Zhu Zhao was arrogant to begin with, and now with the facts before him, he spoke even more forcefully, no longer showing any sign of compromise.
Wen Yu chose to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to his arrogance. Looking at the countless monsters in front of her, she began to look for Wen Bao and Zhao Qiying.
Time was running out, and she didn't have the patience to search among so many Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Monsters one by one. Wen Yu raised her sleeves, wanting to use her magic power to drive away the people in the court... or should I say, the monsters?
But before she could make a move, a powerful wave suddenly came from behind her, passing directly past her and heading towards the center of the courtyard -
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of monsters disappeared, and the empty courtyard was left with only dots of icy blue on the green bricks.
"Yu Chang." Wen Yu was accustomed to Yu Chang's water control skills and naturally thought it was his work. "You put them—"
Yu Chang narrowed his eyes, a dangerous message flashing through them, "It's not me."
"What?" Wen Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise, somewhat unbelievable.
But soon, she came to her senses.
Yu Chang only controls water and never turns it into ice crystals.
He doesn't have this habit.
The moment Wen Yu and Yu Chang looked at each other, they turned around at the same moment in perfect tacit understanding.
"I just wanted to ask, why is this, this senior... here?" Wen Liangyi glanced at this person who looked exactly like the ancestor of the Song family, and whispered to Chen Zhizhi beside him.
Following the direction of his voice, Wen Yu clearly saw the tall and graceful figure in the middle of the mountain gate, Emperor Taihao.
The icy blue color on his fingertips had not yet dissipated, and he even seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist. The hazy feeling that was sometimes far and sometimes near made it difficult to see clearly and guess clearly.
Wen Yu found that his eyes were dull for a moment, and then he forced himself to look away.
There is also Dan Qing, who always follows Taihao like a tail, with a head full of blue-green hair that is very eye-catching. Now he is being stopped outside by Su Jianbai under the command of Chen Zhizhi.
This guy has been rude to my aunt many times. He shouldn't be allowed to be so presumptuous.
"You should ask him, why are you asking me?" Chen Zhizhi replied to Wen Liangyi in a hoarse voice. Although she looked bold, she couldn't help feeling scared in her heart.
If Song Xuechuan were here, who knows what would happen.
After all, having someone so similar standing in front of you, the feeling is probably very different from the portrait you worship at home.
Su Jianbai's peripheral vision moved slightly, and he took in every word of the conversation between Chen Zhizhi and Wen Liangyi, and a smile appeared on his lips that he couldn't suppress no matter what.
He would be happy whenever he saw Wen Liangyi being humiliated.
Feeling satisfied, Su Jianbai puffed out his chest and put his hands on his hips, looking at Dan Qing, who was three or two stone steps lower than him.
This green-haired monster looked familiar, but Su Jianbai couldn't remember where he had seen it. His suspicious eyes swept across Dan Qing's face repeatedly, but he couldn't figure out why.
Anyway, he has the support of the Qingqiu and Yousu clans behind him, and Chen Zhizhi, this little half-human, half-demon, probably doesn't have any backing either, so he will just listen to her orders for now.
Looking at the changing expressions on his face, it was so exciting. Dan Qing glanced at Su Jianbai in some confusion.
"Get out of the way." Dan Qing said briefly and didn't want to say more to Su Jianbai.
Looking at his master who had already stepped into the courtyard a few steps away, he was extremely anxious.
Just now at the foot of the mountain, he had clearly said that Yu Chang was extremely ferocious and Wen Yu was also troublesome, so why did they need the master's care?
But the master didn't say a word, and actually chased up the mountain, and even took action for no reason to calm the storm. After all, this was a matter between Wen Yu and Bu Wenjun, and they shouldn't interfere for no reason.
Looking at Su Jianbai who refused to give in, and the few people watching the fun from behind, Dan Qing was furious.
——I’m just afraid that people won’t appreciate it at all.
Unlike Dan Qing's anger, Tai Hao was as calm as a clear mountain spring, and at this moment he was looking at Wen Yu through the water vapor.
He couldn't see the look in Wen Yu's eyes clearly.
But he was secretly glad in his heart that the ice fog was there to cover him up, so that his rash action would not appear too...embarrassing.
