Chapter 390 A twist in the road

a long distance away.

In a lush forest full of primitive atmosphere.

Yang Jiao and Yang Jian suddenly appeared, staggered and fell to the ground. It might be because it rained last night, the footprints left by the unknown beasts were filled with mud. The two brothers, who were well-dressed and well-fed, accidentally fell into the mud pit and instantly turned into destitute beggars covered in mud.

At this time, the two brothers had not yet recovered from the previous incident, and they were lying in the pit with dull eyes.

"Mother, father, nothing can happen to you! I will go back to accompany you right now..."

After a moment, Yang Jiao was the first to come to his senses. He suddenly climbed out of the mud pit and ran back mumbling to settle the score with the heavenly soldiers and generals.

Yang Jian, who was awakened, instinctively chased after him.

However, before the two brothers could run a few steps, they were blocked by Cheng Long and Yang Chan who suddenly appeared. Cheng Long grabbed Yang Jiao by the collar and shouted angrily, "Yang Jiao, why are you howling in the woods? Do you know where this is? If you disturb the wild monsters in the mountains, you will both die."

"Let me go, I want to go back and save my mother!"

Yang Jiao struggled hysterically with amazing strength, but she couldn't break free from Cheng Long's restraints and tore her brocade clothes with a "swish" sound.

As soon as the demigod physique was released, such powerful strength was revealed, which was truly enviable.

No wonder Yang Jian and Yang Chan are valued by the saints.

If Yang Jiao had not died, he would have been able to become a disciple of the saint.

"Go back?" Cheng Long shouted, "Are you rushing to die?"

“Even if I die, I want to die with my parents. Don’t stop me, I’m incredibly strong now, and I’m afraid I might accidentally kill you.” After the ban in the body was lifted, the strength, speed, perception and other aspects brought by the demigod physique made Yang Jiao have the illusion that he was the boss, the earth was second, and he was the third.

He felt that he was incredibly strong now, and was completely unaware of the improvement in his physique, which only allowed him to barely deal with the heavenly soldiers. If he encountered a more powerful leader, he would be dead.

"Calm the fuck down, I don't want Brother Yang's death to be meaningless!" Cheng Long's loud shouting made Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan instantly excited.

“Shut up, my father was a barefoot doctor for several years and helped so many people, how could he die?”

"Uncle Cheng, if you keep talking nonsense like this, I will turn against you."

"Teacher, don't talk nonsense."

The three siblings were unwilling to accept this fact from the bottom of their hearts.

Although they had a bad premonition in their hearts, they would never believe that their father had been murdered until they saw it with their own eyes.

"I know you don't want this to happen, but the fact is, your mother is attached to the mortal world, and the person the Jade Emperor hates the most is him."

"Based on my understanding of Brother Yang, for your safety, he will definitely commit suicide to apologize."

Before Cheng Long left, he took Yang Chan away decisively because he understood Yang Tianyou's intention, because he also didn't want his daughter-in-law to witness her biological father being forced to commit suicide.

"Stop talking nonsense here. My father and mother truly love each other. What crime have they committed?"

"Get out of the way, good dogs don't get in the way!"

Yang Jian and Yang Jiao were very emotional, but only Yang Chan knew that the teacher would not lie and that her father might really have been killed.

If they rushed back, their father's death would become meaningless.

"enough!"

Looking at his eldest and second brothers who had fallen into madness, Yang Chan suddenly shouted, "Big brother, second brother, mother is the sister of the Jade Emperor, and it will be fine if she is captured. Since father is gone, we must live well and cannot let father die in vain."

"Third sister, why are you talking nonsense too?"

Yang Jiao looked at her sister with red eyes, still refusing to accept the reality.

"I'm not talking nonsense."

Yang Chan looked directly at her eldest and second brothers and begged bitterly, "Big brother, second brother, please consider this as my pleas, okay? Dad is dead, and Mom has been arrested. I really can't lose you again!"

"..."

Yang Jiao and Yang Jian fell silent.

If their father was really dead, then there would be no point in them rushing back.

Their top priority, on the contrary, is to avoid the heavenly soldiers and generals, flee to a safe place, develop their own bloodlines, and find ways to become stronger, rather than being in this state of impotence and rage.

"This place is not far from Guanjiangkou. The heavenly soldiers and generals may chase us at any time. Hold my hand and I will take you away from here." Cheng Long's spiritual sense, which can cover the entire earth with ease, can only cover an area of ​​ten thousand miles in the world of Baolian Lantern. In other words, his teleportation range is shortened to within ten thousand miles.

This is extremely disadvantageous for them and they must escape from here as soon as possible.

"Teacher, it all depends on you."

Yang Chan decisively grabbed Cheng Long's hand, and at the same time grabbed her stubborn second brother with her hand, and signaled her eldest brother to grab the teacher's other hand.

"Hmph, if you dare to lie to me and cause my father to get killed, I will never forgive you." Yang Jiao shouted coldly and grabbed Cheng Long's left hand angrily.

The next moment, the four disappeared without a trace.

Shortly after several people left.

A cloud of good fortune descended from the sky, and the God of War among Men walked to the mud pit and sniffed, saying, "There is still the scent of living people here. The Yang family kid left not long ago."

"Then they must be nearby and can't go far. It's getting late. Let's set up camp first, and then use this as the center and search inch by inch. We must dig three feet into the ground to find them."

Marshal Tianpeng issued orders decisively.

With his cultivation at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, how could he not know that there were residual spatial fluctuations near the mud pit and that the person they were looking for had already run away.

But he did not want to catch up with Cheng Long and his group. Neither did the God of War among Men, the God of War in the South Pole, nor the God of War in the North Pole. Only some short-sighted heavenly soldiers would think about completing the mission as quickly as possible and going back to claim the reward.

……

heaven.

Lingxiao Palace.

Yao Ji, who was sealed by the Five Pole War Gods, followed the Sky War God and the Earth War God into the hall. Seeing her brother and sister-in-law sitting on the dragon throne with gloomy faces, her heart instantly sank.

"Reporting to the Jade Emperor, Princess Yaoji has confessed her guilt, and the criminal Yang Tianyou has committed suicide out of fear of punishment..."

"Where are Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, and Yang Chan?"

"Yang Jiao and Yang Jian were sent away by the princess using a teleportation talisman. Their whereabouts are unknown. Marshal Tian Peng is leading his men to hunt them down."

"Two people?"

The Jade Emperor looked puzzled.

The Sky God of War bowed and explained, "Jade Emperor, Yang Chan has been betrothed by the eldest princess to a virtuous immortal. This person has great merits and is favored by heaven and earth. We dare not make decisions on our own."

"Immortal Fude?"

The Queen Mother asked in confusion, "But is it Yun Zhongzi, a disciple of Kunlun Yuxu Palace?"

The Sky God of War shook his head and said, "No, this person is a little-known True Immortal, his last name is Cheng and his name is Long."

"If you are a true immortal of virtue, how come your name is unknown?"

The Jade Emperor and his wife looked at each other in bewilderment. The merits bestowed upon us by heaven are not like raindrops from the sky. If the amount were a little larger, it would be known to all gods and Buddhas. How could there be an immortal with blessings and virtues who is unknown to the world?
"I don't know the reason, but the merits of Mr. Cheng have condensed into a golden wheel of merit, which is extremely dazzling." The Sky God of War himself was also puzzled!
Logically speaking, when someone in the world or a monk gains merit, when the merit is bestowed upon them by heaven, it will be noticed by all the gods and Buddhas in the sky. The more merit is bestowed upon them, the more powerful beings will pay attention to it.

Even if this person was unknown before gaining merit, after gaining merit, he would be famous in the three realms and sought after by all parties. A situation like Cheng Long's can no longer be described as rare, but should not happen at all.

But the facts were before him, and no matter how much the Sky God of War denied it, he had to admit that the other party was a truly blessed immortal, an immortal who was even more favored by heaven and earth than Yun Zhongzi.

"Yaoji, is this true?"

The Jade Emperor turned his head and looked at the silent girl.

"It is true. Young Master Cheng is the immortal with the most merits I have ever seen. Three years ago, I suggested that he go to heaven to ask for an immortal official position." Yao Ji took the initiative to mention this matter. Her purpose was self-evident. She wanted her brother to show mercy to the three children in consideration of her recommendation of talented people.

A person full of merits joining the Heavenly Court can strengthen the fortune of the Heavenly Court and be beneficial to the Heavenly Court.

On the contrary, if Cheng Long joins the Chan Sect or the Jie Sect, he can also enhance the fortune of the saint's sect.

"..."

The Jade Emperor turned and looked at the Queen Mother.

"Look at what I am doing. The Heavenly Court is eager to recruit talented people. If this person is willing to join the Heavenly Court, what's wrong with giving him face and sparing the three children?" The Queen Mother had no intention of targeting Yao Ji. She just wanted to maintain the face of the Heavenly Court. Now, losing a little bit of face can be exchanged for a blessed immortal. I think the outside world will not say much.

"Where is the Taibai Venus?"

"The minister is here."

An immortal official with a white beard walked out from the sparse team.

"Xuan Chenglong went to heaven to meet the emperor."

"Yes."

Taibai Jinxing nodded in response.

When Yao Ji saw this scene, she felt relieved. Although her brother had not issued an order to let her nephew and niece go, she believed that as long as Cheng Long appeared in Lingxiao Palace, Jiao'er, Jian'er and Chan'er would be safe.

However, when she thought of Yang Tianyou who committed suicide by slitting his throat, Yao Ji could not be happy at all, and even blamed herself secretly.

At the beginning, she should not have resisted, but accepted Tianpeng's advice and went to heaven to wait for the Jade Emperor's decision. As long as Cheng Long followed the heaven and accepted the recruitment, maybe her brother and sister-in-law would be happy and help her and Tianyou.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.

Fortunately, the children were all safe and sound, which was a blessing in disguise.

……

Xiniu Hezhou.

Wanshou Mountain.

Cheng Long took Yang Jiao, Yang Jian and Yang Chan into a manor, where they were greeted by a burst of fragrance and surrounded by lush greenery. The towering ancient trees stood like guardian gods, and the pavilions and towers in the temple were unique, making people linger and forget to leave, as if they were in a fairyland on earth.

"Teacher, it's so beautiful here! Have we broken into someone else's manor?"

Yang Chan said timidly.

The environment here is particularly fresh and pleasant. Just one breath can make people feel refreshed. Moreover, there are signs of maintenance in the manor, which obviously does not go to the wilderness.

"Uh~~You're right, we entered a private house by mistake."

In order to shake off the pursuers and ensure the safety of his elder and second uncles, Cheng Long teleported dozens of times in just half an hour, covering hundreds of thousands of miles.

When I teleported to the end, my brain suddenly tensed up and I actually teleported to someone else's house.

"Let's go quickly!"

Yang Chan tugged at Cheng Long's sleeve.

"That's too late."

Cheng Long shook his head and looked forward.

Yang Jiao, Yang Jian and Yang Chan all looked up and saw two well-dressed Taoist boys with red lips and white teeth walking out of the archway and heading towards them.

"Sir, my master invites you."

"Fairy, may I ask who your master is?"

Cheng Long did not dare to use his spiritual sense to investigate when he barged into someone else's house rashly. Anyone who could build a super-large manor in the mountains must not be an unknown person.

Using spiritual sense to investigate without the owner's permission can be considered a provocation.

He didn't want to provoke a strong enemy for no reason.

The pursuit from Heaven hasn’t even ended yet!

"My master is the ancestor of earthly immortals, the Immortal Zhen Yuanzi."

The female Taoist child who was enlightened by Zhen Yuanzi was named Mingyue. She was a piece of jade on Wanshou Mountain that absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon and gave birth to spirituality.

The boy's name is Qingfeng, which means he was transformed from a breeze on Wanshou Mountain.

Qingfeng Mingyue looks to be seven or eight years old, but in fact, he is an old monster who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years.

Not to mention Zhen Yuanzi. When he became famous, the great calamity of demons and witches had not yet begun!

Following the breeze and bright moon, going around and around all the way.

Soon, Cheng Long and his three companions were brought to an inner hall. The moment he saw the ancestor of the earthly immortals, Cheng Long felt like he had seen a saint. His ethereal demeanor and the spirit of his youthful face despite his white hair made him feel inferior.

"Meet the Immortal Zhenyuan!" ×4
"No need to be polite, please take a seat."

Zhen Yuanzi, holding a whisk and wearing a Taoist robe, motioned for the four to sit down, then turned to look at Qing Feng Ming Yue and ordered, "Go and get four ginseng fruits to entertain the guests."

"Yes, sir."

Qingfeng Mingyue took the order and walked out of the inner hall.

Cheng Long was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would be warmly received by the Immortal Zhenyuan after he got so excited and barged into the Wuzhuang Temple.

Ginseng fruit, also known as Cao Huandan, blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, takes another three thousand years to ripen, and only thirty fruits are produced in ten thousand years.

The fruit looks like a baby under three days old, with all four limbs and five senses complete.

If a person is lucky enough to smell the fruit, he will live 360 ​​years old; if he eats one, he can live 47,000 years.

Even if Cheng Long eats one, it will be of great benefit.

"Great Immortal Zhenyuan, I rashly brought people into your residence, which was really offensive. Not only did you not blame me, but you even invited us to eat fruit. I feel ashamed to accept it!"

If you ask yourself honestly, if Cheng Long himself encountered this kind of thing, he would at most give the stutterer some food and let him stay to rest, but he would never give out the good things.

However, as soon as they met, Zhen Yuanzi asked the Taoist boy to make ginseng fruits, and he asked for four at a time, which made Cheng Long feel inferior from the bottom of his heart.

"Hahaha, it's just a few fruits. The treasures of heaven and earth are meant for those who are destined to have them. Since you are destined to enter Wuzhuang Temple, it is fate."

There are two main reasons why Zhen Yuanzi behaved so easy-going. One was that he was blinded by Cheng Long's Golden Wheel of Merit, and the other was that Yang Jian and Yang Chan had different identities.

Later they all became disciples of saints.

Zhen Yuanzi is the ancestor of earthly immortals, so of course he doesn't need to curry favor with the saint's disciples. He actually just wants to make friends with Cheng Long and take him as a disciple... (End of this chapter)
