Chapter 492 Takeover (2)
About four months after being transferred, Ze Peng returned from Liangzhou, accompanied by two young human girls with slightly hunched backs and sparse yellow hair.
Upon seeing his eldest disciple, whom he hadn't had a proper conversation with in centuries, Ji Rong immediately gestured for Jiao Jue and Shan Shui to leave.
She closed the palace doors, pointed at the two human clown girls, and asked in surprise, "Ze Peng, are these your children? It's one thing that they don't look like you, but why don't they look like each other either?"
Ze Peng respectfully bowed to Ji Rong and Qing Pingzi at the head of the table, saying, "Master, Senior Uncle, when I travel around, cultivators often bring treasures, beauties, and talents to befriend me. I am not particularly bothered by this."
Later, when Peng was teaching the people of Hezhou how to farm, he found the two of them in the wild mountains and forests.
The human tribes near the wild mountains and forests did not recognize the two girls as children of their own tribe, so I raised them as maids by my side to prevent unrelated cultivators from trying to get close to me in order to take shortcuts.
Since taking them in, whenever a Celestial Clan cultivator brings a beautiful woman to visit, I point to them and say, "Thank you for your kindness, but I already have an unruly child at home and cannot spare the time."
Master, you don't know, every time those two came out, those beauties would pout so much, and after a while, they stopped coming altogether.
Ji Rong nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good, Peng. Do they cultivate? What kind of cultivation do they have?"
Ze Peng said, “Master, the human race is weak, and I do not have any good cultivation techniques. They are still young, so I have them cultivate the body-forging method of the Celestial Race. Every day they carry stones and move sand, soak in spiritual medicine baths, and eat spiritual water and rare fruits to strengthen their bones and meridians.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong raised her head slightly, beckoned with her wings to the two frail little girls, and said, "Not bad, come to my side and let me see your potential."
The two little girls, not understanding what was going on, went up at the same time. Ji Rong grabbed one of the little girls' hands with one of his wing claws and said with a smile, "What a good child."
As she spoke, her mind had already sunk into her spiritual realm, her three bodies becoming one.
As Ji Rong's spirit spun, its roots emerged from the gaps in its wings and claws, climbing up the backs of the little girls' hands and onto their heads. A tender, golden leaf sprouted from the top of the root and patted the two little girls on the head.
"Ah!" The intricate inscriptions were imprinted into the girls' minds, startling them so much that they couldn't help but cry out.
Ji Rong released their hands, gave each of them three spirit crystals, and said, "Take these and play with them."
She then looked at Ze Peng and said, "Peng, their physiques are too weak, and they will have little success in tempering their bodies and blood. Let them follow the path of wisdom like the shamans."
I've already given you the method; as for the master who will impart the teachings...
There is a divine attendant in the Canglan Temple named Amu. When you meet the proud God Lord in the future, you can ask her for Amu to help you teach your child.
When you see Amu arrive, you must tell her that I asked you to do this, and she will naturally stay.
Seeing that Ji Rong had thought of everything so thoroughly, Ze Peng immediately told the girls to kowtow to Ji Rong. The two little girls immediately supported their still somewhat confused heads and kowtowed repeatedly.
"You two are really clever," Ji Rong exclaimed. "What are your names?"
The two girls obediently raised their heads, and the chubby-faced child replied, "My name is Zemu."
The one with the long, thin face said, "My name is Zelin."
"What a good boy!" Ji Rong said with a smile. "If another one comes, we can name him Zesen."
Seeing that they were gossiping and that he had not yet given out his gifts, Qingpingzi spoke up from the side, saying, "Peng, although they are young, you need to decide whether to send them as girls or servants."
Ze Peng immediately raised his head to look at Ji Rong. Ji Rong took his gaze and smiled, "They are not really your children, so they are your disciples."
Not to mention that I have just passed on the teachings, in our place, the strong are respected. If one's cultivation is not going well and one is not diligent, even Brother Wanfa's own dear child will die before him.
Therefore, it's better for them to be disciples. By being disciples, the bond between you and your master will last longer.
"Peng, I've already given them the gifts. Why don't you tell them to go and kowtow to Senior Brother Wanfa and call him Grandmaster Wanfa?"
Ze Peng's eyes lit up with excitement. Without waiting for him to speak, the two children cleverly bowed to Ji Rong and said, "Ze Mu/Ze Lin greet Grandmaster Ji."
Then he came to the table where Qingpingzi was squatting, bowed and said, "Zemu/Zelin pays respects to Master Wanfa."
Qingpingzi was so happy to see the two little children calling him "Grandmaster" that he swished his five tails. He was so immersed in the title of "Grandmaster" that he completely forgot the strictness he showed when accepting disciples. He took out two storage rings and said, "Cultivate well."
After chatting for a while, Ji Rong asked again, "Have you ever returned to Yuxu Palace to see Senior Sister Duomu in all these years?"
Zepeng was startled, wondering if his master, Suiye, had been released to do evil again.
He immediately shook his head and said, "Peng has never been there since he was taken in by my master."
Seeing Ze Peng's slightly changed expression, Ji Rong pointed at the two younger ones and said, "I didn't mean anything else. You were originally under the tutelage of Senior Sister Duo Mu, and you shouldn't sever that relationship."
"We're all here now, and we have plenty of time. It won't matter if you postpone your council duties by a few months. Why don't you take Zemu and Zelin to pay respects to their Multi-Eyed Grandmaster? I think Senior Sister will be very pleased."
Ze Peng knew that Ji Rong was paving the way for him, and he felt both relieved and moved. He bowed solemnly to Ji Rong and Qing Pingzi again before leaving with Ze Mu and Ze Lin.
After resting for only two days at Longfeng Mountain, he took the two children to Yuxu Palace.
In the puppet room of Yuxu Palace, Qingzhizi was indeed very happy to see Zepeng specially bringing his newly accepted disciple to pay his respects.
She was originally Zepeng's grandmaster, but now she has become Zepeng's senior master.
Kiyoko thought to herself that Kiyohime could summon Ze Peng and even have Ze Mu and Ze Lin call her Master Duo Mu, which meant that Kiyohime didn't care at all about Ze Peng's closeness to her.
With Kiyohime and Kiyohira paving the way, and Ze Peng himself being willing to work hard, achieving fame and enlightenment is just around the corner.
Thinking of this, Qingzhizi, who had seen Zepeng off and returned to her cave, took her puppet apprentice Suiye out for a stroll, a rare moment of tenderness.
Then she gathered the puppet threads on his body together and, under Sui Ye's fearful, sorrowful, and pleading gaze, drove the puppet threads to shatter his Dao Core and seal his soul.
She bound it tightly and carried it to Qing Tanzi's smelting furnace, saying, "Senior Sister Gao Tan, from now on, it is yours; the Dao pill in this bear meat has been broken, but the soul is still there. Whether it is made into a weapon or a puppet, it is up to you, Senior Sister."
Qing Tanzi said in a deep voice, "Everyone says that the Zerg are cold-hearted, but this bear has even harbored thoughts of betraying his master and ancestors. It's amazing that you've endured it for so long. Why are you finally willing to deal with him now?"
Qingzhizi glanced at Qingtanzi and sighed softly, "Senior sister, you're quite a big insect yourself. Don't you know whether you have a heart or not? We insects are just a little narrow-minded. I've raised him for so many years, it's normal that I can't bear to part with him."
Zepeng has grown up, and Kiyohime trusts me, her senior sister. What needs to be sacrificed must be sacrificed.
Qing Tanzi nodded and said, "That's how it should be."
