Chapter 150: Returning to Wudang

~12 min read 2,359 words

"Master, I have returned."

In the Heaven-Dependent world, on Mount Wudang, Zhang Jie, who had returned to the mountain, bowed solemnly to the Second Hero of Wudang, Yu Lianzhou.

For this master who picked him up from a pile of corpses, raised him,

and spared no effort in carefully cultivating him, he respected him from the bottom of his heart.

The kindness of birth is great, but the kindness of raising is even greater!

"Hmm."

Yu Lianzhou, sitting on the chair, just gave a lukewarm "hmm,"

seemingly not caring much about Zhang Jie's return to the mountain.

However, the hand slightly trembling in his sleeve exposed the inner excitement of this Second Hero of Wudang.

Zhang Jie was a child he had raised since he was small; to him, who had never married or had children, Zhang Jie was his son.

The child had gone down the mountain to venture and returned safely; how could he, as a father, not be excited?

Although he knew that with Zhang Jie's martial arts, he couldn't have suffered much down the mountain,

he still couldn't help but worry if Zhang Jie had eaten well and slept well down the mountain?

Had he been bullied or deceived by anyone?

Now seeing Zhang Jie return safely, the huge stone in his heart finally landed.

Zhang Jie, who also knew that this master was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, also secretly smiled in his heart.

This master of his was like a typical Chinese father; even if he was worried, missing him,

or happy to death in his heart, his face remained solemn and indifferent.

"Master, this is Zhou Zhiruo, the junior sister and high disciple of Abbess Miejue of the Emei Sect."

"Junior Sister Zhiruo, why don't you hurry up and pay respects to Master?"

Zhang Jie introduced Zhou Zhiruo to Yu Lianzhou and reminded Zhou Zhiruo, who was somewhat at a loss.

"Zhou Zhiruo has met Master Yu."

Zhou Zhiruo, meeting the parents, was somewhat shy, and her speech became stuttered.

'Oh my god!

Will this give Master Yu a bad impression of me?'

Zhou Zhiruo screamed in her heart.

Although she had done psychological construction before coming,

and had taken advice from experienced senior sisters on Emei many times,

when the moment came, she was still extremely nervous, and all her preparations seemed somewhat useless.

"Good, very good!"

Seeing Zhou Zhiruo's appearance, how could Yu Lianzhou not know her relationship with Zhang Jie?

He immediately stroked his beard and smiled, looking more and more satisfied as he looked at his daughter-in-law.

He also glanced at Zhang Jie, warning him:

"Jie, you must not let Zhiruo down!"

'Gah!'

Zhang Jie, whose scumbag nature was seen through by his master, felt somewhat embarrassed,

but he still patted his chest and replied very sincerely:

"Don't worry, Master, I will absolutely not let Junior Sister Zhiruo down."

"Hmm."

Yu Lianzhou gave a noncommittal "hmm." They say no one knows a son like a father;

how could his master, who had raised Zhang Jie since he was small, not know this kid's nature?

Before he was enlightened, this kid was still very cautious, but after he was enlightened

and his martial arts advanced by leaps and bounds, this kid's nature slowly began to be exposed.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that he used light-body technique to tease Song Qingshu,

making him lose face in front of all of Wudang, was something Zhang Jie wouldn't have done before.

As his martial arts grew higher, this kid's heart also began to grow wild.

If he had the ability, Yu Lianzhou had no doubt that Zhang Jie would dare to poke a hole in the sky!

However, who told him this was the disciple he raised as a son?

He couldn't expose Zhang Jie's shortcomings in front of others, especially Zhou Zhiruo.

Better to tear down ten temples than destroy one marriage!

He looked at Zhou Zhiruo and said gently:

"Zhiruo, in the future, if this kid dares to bully you,

you come and tell me, and I will help you teach this brat a lesson!"

"Master, why are you turning your elbow outward?"

Zhang Jie looked aggrieved, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Hmph!"

Yu Lianzhou didn't even look at Zhang Jie.

This kid was no longer the white and chubby look he had when he was small.

Now he was completely acting cute maliciously, and couldn't get his sympathy at all.

Zhou Zhiruo, on the other hand, was full of happiness; she held Zhang Jie's hand and said tenderly:

"Master, Brother Zhang loves me too much, how could he bully me?"

'What a big mouthful of dog food!'

Zhang Wuji, behind Zhang Jie and the others, had a feeling of being force-fed a big mouthful of dog food,

filling his cheeks until they were overflowing.

After seeing through the conspiracy of Zhu Zhangling and Wu Lie to trick him out of the Dragon-Slaying Saber at the Zhu-Wu Manor,

and breaking up with Zhu Jiuzhen, who had revealed her true colors, he had been a single dog for many years!

Can you not abuse dogs like this?

What did single dogs do to make you abuse them like this?

He hereby appeals that people all over the world should love single dogs~

After introducing Zhou Zhiruo, Zhang Jie pulled Zhang Wuji over and offered him like a treasure:

"Ding ding ding! Master, look who I brought back!"

Yu Lianzhou looked at Zhang Wuji, who, even though he had grown up a lot, hadn't changed much from many years ago,

especially with his eyebrows extremely similar to his Fifth Junior Brother Zhang Cuishan, who had passed away many years ago, and asked with a trembling voice:

"Wuji child, are you Wuji child?"

"Uncle Yu, it's me, it's me, Wuji!"

Zhang Wuji knelt in front of Yu Lianzhou with a thud, tears streaming down his face.

Although there were people like Song Qingshu who bullied him on Mount Wudang,

the second-generation disciples of Wudang, his uncles, all regarded him as their own child,

not only carefully teaching him martial arts but also caring for him greatly in his daily life.

In Yu Lianzhou and the others, he truly felt like he had family.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Even someone as stern as Yu Lianzhou couldn't help but have red eyes.

Ever since the Butterfly Valley of the Butterfly Valley Medical Immortal Hu Qingniu was attacked by the evil expert Golden Flower Granny,

and Hu Qingniu himself met a tragic end with his corpse lying in Butterfly Valley,

Zhang Wuji, whom they had specifically sent to learn medical skills from Hu Qingniu,

attempting to treat the cold poison of the Xuanming Divine Palm with medical skills, had also gone missing.

Even after they searched in many ways, they couldn't find Zhang Wuji.

Considering that this was a time when the Great Yuan was precarious, various rebel armies were rising one after another,

and the Ming Cult was also stirring up trouble in this muddy water,

even though they didn't find Zhang Wuji's corpse in Butterfly Valley, he should have escaped Butterfly Valley,

they still didn't hold out hope of finding the poor Zhang Wuji.

After all, in such troubled times, even a first-class expert couldn't guarantee self-preservation,

let alone Zhang Wuji, a child of twelve or thirteen.

Since then, every time he thought that Zhang Wuji might have died,

and that they not only failed to avenge his Fifth Junior Brother but also failed to protect his orphan,

he would blame himself, often unable to sleep at night, feeling guilty toward his Fifth Junior Brother,

sorry for his poor Wuji child, who suffered from cold poison when he was young,

suffered all kinds of torture, and then drifted in the Jianghu when he was young, missing and unknown.

"Jie, you did well! Your uncles,

and your Grandmaster will be very happy to hear this news."

Yu Lianzhou looked at Zhang Jie with eyes full of praise and gratification:

"Jie, you've worked hard."

Zhang Jie, a Wudang disciple who had just started out and had no Jianghu experience,

had to search for a missing Zhang Wuji in this vast world;

one could imagine how much he had suffered and how much he had endured.

"Uh..." Zhang Jie waved his hands repeatedly: "Master,

searching for Junior Brother Wuji was originally my intention, it doesn't count as hard work."

Could he tell Yu Lianzhou that he was a book-reader who accidentally transmigrated into the book, and didn't need to search at all,

but went straight to the Zhu-Wu Manor and the Kunlun Valley where Zhang Wuji was after going down the mountain?

"Senior Brother!"

Zhang Wuji, also thinking about how hard it was for Zhang Jie to find him, had a face full of emotion.

Zhang Jie traveled thousands of miles to Kunlun to find him, accompanied him to Ice Fire Island to pick up his godfather Xie Xun,

shared martial arts secrets like the "Nine Yin Manual" with him for free,

and even broke into the Ruyang Prince's Mansion at night to kill the Xuanming Elders to avenge him;

this kindness was so great that even if he worked like an ox or a horse, he could hardly repay a ten-thousandth of it!

"Good child, you are both good children."

Seeing Zhang Jie so humble, not taking credit or being arrogant at all,

and Zhang Wuji also knowing how to repay kindness, Yu Lianzhou felt even more gratified.

With such descendants, why worry about Wudang not flourishing?

Where had Zhang Jie seen his master, who was always serious, like this?

And he couldn't tell Zhang Wuji that he didn't need to be so moved; everything he did had a purpose.

He entered the Kunlun Valley for the "Nine Yang Divine Art," went to Ice Fire Island for the Dragon-Slaying Saber,

and killing the Xuanming Elders was even more because he coveted the cultivation they had practiced for decades.

He hurriedly changed the subject: "Master, this Junior Brother Wuji is just the first gift I brought you,

I also brought a second gift for you, Uncle, Junior Uncle, and Grandmaster."

Saying this, he took a small box out of his sleeve.

"Oh? What is this second gift?"

Yu Lianzhou became interested.

This first gift was already so much to their liking,

this second gift, since it could make Zhang Jie so solemn, must not be inferior, right?

"Master, you will know at a glance."

Zhang Jie handed the box in his hand to Yu Lianzhou.

"I will take a good look at it."

Yu Lianzhou stroked his beard and opened the box, which was not luxurious in appearance,

but was actually very exquisite and made entirely of golden nanmu, worth a thousand gold.

Then a mass of black paste-like medicine entered his eyes.

His nostrils flared, and he immediately smelled a rich, refreshing fragrance.

"What is this?"

Pondering all the medicines he had ever seen,

Yu Lianzhou, who had never seen a medicine in this form, was very confused.

"Master, this item is called Black Jade Intermittent Paste, and is the secret medicine inherited from the Western Regions' Jin Gang Gate;

it can heal all bone injuries, and even Third Junior Uncle's injury is no problem."

Zhang Jie told Yu Lianzhou an explosive piece of news in a very calm tone.

Crack!

Suddenly learning such explosive news,

even Yu Lianzhou, who was accustomed to not showing his joy or anger, found it difficult to remain calm.

His right hand, which was not holding the box, suddenly exerted force,

and under the effect of the inner energy of the "Tiger Claw Absolute Hand" he subconsciously gathered,

the armrest of the grand master's chair he was sitting on was shattered into powder,

and bits of powder fell onto his meticulous clothes.

"Jie, are you sure what you said is true?"

Yu Lianzhou stared fixedly at Zhang Jie, his eyes complex.

He both hoped Zhang Jie could give him a positive answer,

and feared that Zhang Jie had been deceived by the folk sorcerers in the Jianghu who sold power pills and tiger-skin plasters.

Ever since Third Junior Brother Yu Daiyan was suspected to have had his whole body's bones crushed by the "Great Jin Gang Finger" of Shaolin,

and was paralyzed in bed, they had searched the world, hoping to find secret medicines and martial arts to heal such injuries.

But those miraculous medicines, immortal medicines, imperial secret medicines,

and ancestral prescription medicines that claimed to be able to bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh and bones were of no use to Yu Daiyan's injury.

They had experienced too many cycles from hope to despair.

They could still bear it, but Third Junior Brother Yu Daiyan could no longer bear another such blow.

Even if he pretended not to know, he knew that Third Junior Brother Yu Daiyan's heart probably already had thoughts of death.

"Master, I guarantee this is true."

Zhang Jie said firmly.

When he returned from Dadu to Emei Mountain to pick up Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji and the others,

he had randomly picked a few lucky guys from the bandits who were like wild grass that couldn't be burned out,

and experimented slightly with the effect of the Black Jade Intermittent Paste.

And the effect didn't disappoint him: the bandits whose limbs he had broken recovered well.

As for the final fate of these bandits who contributed greatly to medicine?

Zhang Jie said that knowing too much can get you killed~

Zhang Wuji also stood up to testify for Zhang Jie:

"Uncle Yu, this Black Jade Intermittent Paste was obtained by Senior Brother Zhang Jie breaking into the Ruyang Prince's Mansion.

Verified by the medical skills I learned from the Butterfly Valley Medical Immortal Hu, this medicine indeed has the effect of regenerating broken bones." ===== CHAPTER 151 =====

Verified by the medical skills I learned from the Divine Physician Hu of Butterfly Valley, this medicine indeed has the effect of regenerating broken bones."
