Chapter 501: Chapter 357: Xu Yang, What are you doing to your grandma?!
In 2023, on October 2nd, Lunar August 15th.
Clear weather.
At the summit of Mount Tai.
Outside Dai Temple.
“Young Master Xu, remember to come home often when you have time.”
Master Taixu smiled amicably, as if he was an old servant seeing off his master to a long journey… In fact, at this moment, this was exactly how the elderly Daoist felt.
No matter what Xu Yang said.
Anyway, Master Taixu had already made up his mind… He was sure that Xu Yang was the “Son of Emperor Dongyue”.
“Please call me Celestial Master!”
“Yes, Young Master.”
Xu Yang: “…..”
Looking at Master Taixu’s obsequious expression, Xu Yang couldn’t help but clench his fists. However, his upbringing of respecting the elderly and loving the young prevented him from maintaining this aggressive posture, and he said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be back in a few days… We need to hurry the construction of Heavenly Reward Palace, don’t be afraid to spend money, and contact me if you need funds.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
“!!!”
Damn!
Xu Yang was too lazy to correct Master Taixu’s address and turned to descend the mountain.
Wang Hou left soon after the completion of the golden statue of Emperor Dongyue. Last night, the old man received a phone call and left in a hurry. When Xu Yang asked about the reason, he replied that there was a small matter at Wanshou Palace that needed to be dealt with.
However, how could Xu Yang not know whether there was an issue at Wanshou Palace or not?
Although he did not inquire further, he could guess… Most likely, it was to meet his old lover.
…
Dai Temple is located at the summit of Mount Tai. The mountain path is rugged.
Instead of flying back to Wu City, Xu Yang chose to walk down the mountain.
“The mountain road is steep, and the tourist area of Mount Tai has not developed the mountain where Dai Temple is located. The cable car cannot reach it… Ordinary tourists have almost no way of climbing the mountain. If I want to obtain a large amount of faith power… I must first improve transportation.”
“Transportation is not a problem.”
“I’ll talk to Wang Hou, let him inform the local government and the tourism bureau, and the cable car can naturally be extended to the entrance of Dai Temple.”
“If I play it up, I can even create a clone to sit in the Dai Temple and provide a shuttle service for tourists… With good promotion, there will definitely be an unending stream of pilgrims.”
Among the 72 Earth-Devil Skills, one divine power is called “division,” which Xu Yang had already mastered. It was no problem to divide several clones.
With these thoughts in his mind.
Xu Yang leaped and flew down Mount Tai, landing on a mountain path above.
He saw a young Daoist wearing a Daoist robe and carrying a peachwood sword standing respectfully in front of the mountain path.
“Meng Mingshan?”
Xu Yang frowned, “What are you doing here?”
For some unknown reason.
As soon as Meng Mingshan saw Xu Yang, he felt a little inexplicably nervous. He timidly said, “My master said that you, Celestial Master Xu, are the son of the great emperor, and I was under his command in my previous life. So, he asked me to serve and protect you.”
“You go back, what can you, a little brat, protect me from?”
Xu Yang walked forward.
Meng Mingshan didn’t say a word, but followed behind him.
Xu Yang stopped, turned, and looked at the young Daoist.
The young Daoist lowered his head, not daring to look at Xu Yang, and whispered, “My master said that no matter what Celestial Master Xu says, I cannot go back.”
“…..”
Xu Yang was speechless for a while and asked, “What else did your master say?”
The young Daoist said, “My master also said that from now on, whatever Celestial Master Xu says, I must do it without any resistance.”
Xu Yang thought for a moment and asked, “What if I ask you to betray Dai Temple and join my Wanshou Palace in Jingming Sect?”
Meng Mingshan blinked.
After pondering for a moment, he said, “My master asked me to listen to you and not to resist… So whatever Celestial Master Xu says is what I’ll do.”
“Good!”
Xu Yang was delighted, “In that case, you come back to Wanshou Palace with me. From now on, you will be a disciple of my Wanshou Palace, and you will have nothing to do with Dai Temple.”
“Huh?”
The young Daoist panicked, “What about my master…”
“What about your master?”
Xu Yang glared, “Since you have entered Wanshou Palace, I will be your master from now on… You can call Master Taixu as senior. This is what Master Taixu instructed you to do, are you going to defy me?”
The young Daoist carefully thought about it. He felt that something was not quite right, but it seemed reasonable.
Xu Yang was overjoyed.
His Wanshou Palace gained another great addition!
The key was this kid was a “great reincarnation”. In his previous life, he was one of the ten great marshals under Emperor Dongyue and was on the same level as the Ten Halls of Yama under Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu. In the future, all he needed to do was awaken his previous life’s memories, and he could continuously improve his strength.
Xu Yang summoned an auspicious cloud on the spot, pulled the young Daoist onto the cloud, and flew out of Mount Tai.
Before they even flew 800 meters, the auspicious cloud under Xu Yang’s feet suddenly stopped. Xu Yang looked at Meng Mingshan and asked, “Did you hear something?”
Meng Mingshan’s ears twitched, and he leaned over the edge of the cloud to peer towards the mountain range below. “Celestial Master Xu, it seems like I heard someone crying for help below.”
With a thought, Xu Yang made the cloud descend and hover over the forest.
“Help!”
“Help me… Is there anyone? Help me!”
In the forest, weak cries for help could be heard intermittently along with occasional cursing, “Damn… Damn Dai Temple, I just wanted to carry some drinks and sell them on the mountain… Is it really necessary to do this to me?”
