Chapter 254 Luck
Chapter 254 Luck
Wu Hao's heart skipped a beat - his daughter-in-law said that she felt her last name was Wu in her previous life, and now the child said "Mou Zhenyuan" - he knew Mou Zhenyuan, the leader of the Juque School of the Thirty-Six Sects!
If it was three thousand years ago, when the Ye Dynasty was still around and there was an emperor, this Mou Zhenyuan should be about the same as the emperor. Even if he was a little worse, he would be like a true immortal at that time... Normally, when people talk about cultivators, they call them immortal masters or immortals. Although the cultivators that these people can meet are already immortals, Wu Hao knows how big the difference is between immortal masters -
Previously, the Xuanguang Sect, which the eldest son of Boss Liu had joined, was considered a major sect near Pingshan City. When the owner of Sun Lianji Bank saw the elders of their sect, he would smile politely. As for the head of the sect, he was not allowed to see him at all.
But the Xuanguang Sect is just one of the sects near Pingshan City. There are many sects stronger than it. Some are even bigger and span several cities.
However, according to the practitioners, these sects have no "dharma lineage". The only ones with a dharma lineage are the thirty-six sects. Among the thirty-six sects, there are big and small, strong and weak. Their Pingshan City is the home of the Zhaoyang Sect of the thirty-six sects. Those scattered sects have to pay tribute to the Zhaoyang Sect every year.
But he heard that the Zhaoyang Sect was affiliated with the Tiangong Sect among the Thirty-Six Sects, and above the Tiangong Sect was the Juque Sect - he didn't know how many levels apart they were!
What did this kid mean by "Mou Zhenyuan"? Did Caifeng have a connection with Juque Sect's Mou Zhenyuan in her previous life or something? !
As soon as this thought popped up in his mind, he immediately suppressed it - it would be better if there was no such thought. If there really was, all the people who had a connection with the leader of the Juque Sect would be reincarnated into his family... How terrifying would the fight between those practitioners be!
This was the chaotic world... a chaotic world that only came once every few hundred years! He didn't want to have anything to do with it at all.
So he said nothing, just sighed: "Okay, now I know, you two are not ordinary people. Caifeng, in the years since you got married, our Wu family has treated you well... I won't talk about the third brother. It's not that I'm cruel, but I have to think about all the people in the family - if you want to leave, leave tonight, take my car, it's spacious and big, you can rest for a while."
After he said this, he walked over and helped her up: "I couldn't bear your kneeling at first, but now you have to kneel down, and our worldly affairs are over... You... You go and tell the third brother!"
After saying this, he returned to his chair, sat down, and turned his face away. After a while, he heard Sun Caifeng pick up the child and go out.
……
Three days later, the two settled in Lianshan Town, north of Pingshan City.
Sun Caifeng could see the Dajie Mountain from the window of the inn - it was towering and boundless, as if it blocked half the sky.
She watched from the window for a while, then came back to feed the baby. As soon as she opened her clothes, the baby immediately closed his eyes, opened his mouth, and began to suck eagerly.
While watching her breastfeeding, Sun Caifeng asked in a low voice: "Nannan, say a few more words to me. Is there anything else you want to tell me? Do you remember it?"
The baby stopped, opened his eyes and looked at her - she thought she was about to speak again, but the next moment the baby closed his eyes again and continued to suckle.
She just sighed.
She didn't tell Wu Hao the truth that night. In fact, she knew more than she said. She heard from her mother that when she was born, she could speak just like this child! In addition to saying that her surname was Mou, she also asked her parents to find the Juque Sect. But her mother was scared by this and didn't dare to tell her father. She kept her head covered in the room for seven days, and no one was allowed to take care of her. Then she slowly stopped talking.
My child now should be exactly the same as I was back then - when he was just born, he took advantage of the short moment when no one was in the room and said a few words, including "Heavenly Works", "Earthly Fire", "Great Tribulation Mountain", and "Sword Sect", and his pronunciation was very clear.
But when her father-in-law saw her, she spoke only incoherently after a quarter of an hour. Today, except for the strange look in her eyes, she is no different from an ordinary baby. She knows that there is a saying called "the mystery of reincarnation", which means that after a person is reincarnated, some of them have some spiritual power in their previous life and can still remember some things, but when they grow up, they will soon forget those things. Anyway, she can't remember anything before she was two or three years old.
But she still remembered the three words "Mou Zhenyuan". Now she remembered that when she was dreaming, the name that the people in her dreams always mentioned was Mou Zhenyuan!
Wu Zhuo didn't know, but she knew... Mou Zhenyuan was the leader of the Juque Sect. So, she was a disciple of the Juque Sect in her previous life? The leader's disciple?
Just as she was thinking this, the door was pushed open and Wu Zhuo walked in. Frowning, he kicked the door shut again, walked to the table, picked up the teapot and gulped down a bellyful of water, then lifted his front to wipe the sweat off his face. Finally, he let out a sigh, "This is fucking weird. You see, a few days ago, everyone in Lianshan Town was taking people to the Great Robbery Mountain. I didn't have money at that time, so I couldn't go!"
"Now we have money, but, damn it, we can't find any of them!"
Sun Caifeng gently supported the child's back and whispered, "Can't you find any?"
"Yes, there is none! No, there are. There are three idiots who want to fool me. They said there is a small mountain above the big mountain. They will take us to the small mountain for 800 taels. Fuck them. Why would we go to the small mountain with our fate?"
Wu Zhuo was not good-looking, but he was not ugly either, just an ordinary man. In fact, because of his wealthy family, he dressed up in silk and satin, and looked much more comfortable than ordinary people.
But Sun Caifeng didn't know why she just felt that she didn't like him - besides the fact that he had one face in front of his father and another face when he returned home, there was something else, but she couldn't tell exactly what it was.
She suppressed the bad feeling in her heart and said softly, "Didn't you tell me why?"
"I know why I went there by myself! I made enough money!"
Sun Caifeng sighed inwardly, and after a while, she whispered, "Why don't you go and ask why? Once we know, we can find the right person."
Wu Zhuo was stunned, then pointed out the window: "I'm going out in this sunny place? I'm soaked! What a bad weather! It's still so hot after the dog days are over?"
Sun Caifeng smiled and said, "If you want to practice cultivation, you probably can't curse the heavens and the earth."
Wu Zhuo took his hand back, looked at her, then looked at the child, and frowned: "You still know that you need to practice, and you still bring her with you. How good is it to keep her at home? Even if my family doesn't care, can your family do it? Just think about it, my family has many children, and your family only has you. Send her back to your family, no matter if she is stupid or not, when she grows up, your parents will find her a son-in-law, and your family will have descendants, right? What do you think you are doing with her? People like you, I tell you, people like you can't practice immortality, you are called mortal roots have not been cut off, do you understand?"
Sun Caifeng stopped talking, lowered her eyes and lowered her head.
This would work, she had always known that - Wu Zhuo stopped talking, frowned at her, then stood up and wiped his face fiercely with his lapel: "Alright, can't I ask again? It's just fucking bad luck, really."
He went out again. When he came back it was already dark, reeking of alcohol.
After entering the room, he forgot to close the door, and rushed to the bedside, leaned close to the sleeping baby, and nudged the baby with his head like a cow: "Haha, girl, guess what your father asked your mother?"
Sun Caifeng sat on the bed and gently pushed his head away: "Close the door."
"Oh, yes." Wu Zhuo stood up straight, slammed the door shut lightly, and turned to look at her. "Haha, guess how many idiots I met again? Haha!" He stretched out his palm. "Four! Haha, the sixth one met a real person and figured out what was going on. Do you want to know?"
Sun Caifeng nodded.
"Oh, you beg me?"
Sun Caifeng clenched her fists, suppressed the bad feeling in her heart, and smiled: "Please, husband, tell me."
"Haha, let me tell you, the killing on Dajie Mountain is crazy!"
"…Killing like crazy? What does that mean?"
"Literally. The people I met said that there was a fight on the top of the Great Tribulation Mountain. Do you know why? Do you know the Sword Sect? Do you know Li Wuxiang of the Sword Sect?"
Sun Caifeng shook her head.
"Hey, you said you have a destiny with immortals, how come you don't know anything?" Wu Zhuo laughed, "Let me tell you, Li Wuxiang is the leader of the Sword Sect. When others mention him, they always politely call him, 'Leader Li'! Did you know that the Thirty-Six Sects used to be one with the Sword Sect? This time they are holding a meeting on the mountain to find a leader. Once this leader comes out, he will be on equal footing with the leaders in the diocese!"
"Just think about it, this kind of thing would make your brain explode, right? But before they could do anything, Li Wuxiang from the Sword Sect started killing people indiscriminately, and all the thirty-six sects surrendered! In just three days, all the thirty-six sects went to worship the Sword Sect! You said when you were a child that your last name was Mou in your previous life, right? Yes! There was someone with the last name Mou, and the Juque Sect's last name is Mou!"
He gave a thumbs up: "In the past, the Juque Sect was one of the thirty-six sects—"
He turned his thumb down again: "Now the guy surnamed Li has been killed like this! I am convinced! Haha, wife, you Juque Sect are no good!"
Sun Caifeng smiled and said, "So... is that why we are not allowed to go up the mountain?"
"That's about right! They said it was too chaotic and they didn't allow us to go up there because they were afraid someone might get killed!"
After he said this, he smiled and looked at Sun Caifeng. Sun Caifeng asked, "Then... can we still go up? Are we not going?"
Wu Zhuo immediately laughed: "Haha, I told you you were stupid, now is the right time!"
"Why?"
"Why? Let me ask you, do you know how many people there are in the Sword Sect?"
"do not know."
"Only a few dozen! Do you know how many people there are in other sects?"
Sun Caifeng slowly exhaled in her heart, told herself to slightly open her eyes and shook her head: "I don't know either."
Wu Zhuo frowned, "Tsk, you know everything about Boss Liu's Xuanguang Sect. There are more than 300 people in Xuanguang Sect, so why don't you guess? Let me tell you, there are more than 10,000 people in Tiangong Sect! And that's just the regular disciples! How many people are there in the 36 sects combined? Do you understand? When the people from Jianzong become the leader, they will definitely recruit many disciples, and they can't wait until later - that's icing on the cake. Now they have few people, so we go to Jianzong, it's like sending timely help!"
He did not stop talking after saying this, and continued in one breath: "I have also inquired clearly, they are going to invite Donghuang Taiyi on the top of the mountain in the next two days! Donghuang Taiyi! Please come down! He is the real god, the righteous god! Caifeng, hey, Caifeng, tell me, is this immortal fate? This is called immortal fate, they are going to invite the righteous god, my father has agreed! Even if we can get a little bit of it, think about it, wouldn’t it be a complete transformation!"
"That's why no one is bringing people up now! Who would bring others up when there's such a good opportunity? Wouldn't that ruin their chance of becoming an immortal? The one I found today originally wanted to go by himself, but he offended his enemies and his cultivation was broken up. That's why he wanted to make some money and quit the cultivation world. I tell you, this is when his luck and chance of becoming an immortal come!"
Sun Caifeng suddenly raised her head and stared at Wu Zhuo. There was only one light in the room, so the light was dim. But Wu Zhuo felt that Sun Caifeng's eyes were so bright that they sobered him up. He was stunned for a moment before he said, "What are you thinking about?"
Sun Caifeng lowered her eyes and didn't speak for a long time. She didn't know what was wrong with her. When she heard Wu Zhuo repeatedly mention the name "Li Wuxiang", she felt annoyed and couldn't sit still on the bed!
The two of them were silent for a while, when suddenly there was a sound outside - very subtle, a bit like the sound of firecrackers during the New Year. But it was very far away, and only a few crackling sounds could be heard. There seemed to be human voices, but they seemed very far away and small... It was like someone was trapped somewhere, and they only called once and then stopped. There must be more than one person.
Sun Caifeng immediately looked outside and whispered, "Sanlang, did you hear that?"
"What did you hear?"
"I heard someone shouting... Was it from the inn?"
"Inside or outside? I didn't hear anything." Wu Zhuo walked to the window and looked out to the sides and far away. It was late at night when he came back. There were no people on the street, only darkness. He looked out the window again and planned to put his head back.
But by this time his eyes had adapted to the darkness outside, so he could see a little more clearly—there were people on the street, and quite a few of them!
They were all dark shadows, doing something at the bottom of the building facing the street. The one closest to him was under his window - their room was on the second floor, and this person was standing by the window on the first floor. Judging from his clothes, he looked like a Taoist priest. He held a small incense burner in one hand, which was emitting green smoke and a faint red light. In the other hand, he held a talisman paper, and the fire line was slowly burning down from the top of the talisman.
Wu Zhuo couldn't help but frown and asked, "Hey! You! What are you doing!?"
The Taoist raised his face, and Wu Zhuo saw that his face was half bright and half dark because of the incense burner and talisman paper in his hands, like a ghost - then he saw the expressionless Taoist threw the talisman paper in his hand into the air, and a series of fine crackling sounds quickly climbed down from the bottom of the building.
Wu Zhuo was stunned for a moment, undecided whether to stick his head out to see what was underneath or to pull it back. But the next moment, he suddenly felt himself frozen, as if he was wrapped in stone. He only had time to let out a low, muffled "ah" -
Sun Caifeng saw that his exposed upper body, along with the entire wall of the room, had turned into stone.
