I Only Want to Lie Flat But Am Forced to Cultivate Immortality Chapter 792 - 385: Warlord of the Umbilical Cord vs. Warlord
Outside the hall, Xu Qing walked up to ng Yongzhen and took a mont to look at the lantern in his hand.
The Celestial Master Liu was a bit too able to endure, Xu Qing always felt that the old guy was brewing so evil trick waiting for him!
And ng Yongzhen before him was the Celestial Master’s last disciple. If the old turtle really had so hidden moves, Xu Qing thought he might find so clues in ng Yongzhen’s lantern.
However, as the pages of the Sutra of Salvation turned, Xu Qing’s brow never relaxed.
Originally, ng Yongzhen ca from a wealthy family; his household ran a silver shop, two cloth stores, and several inns and restaurants.
But this Daoist was born not to favor a stable life and instead enjoyed the ways of bandits robbing and vicious murder, engaging in such blood-curdling acts!
To satisfy himself, ng Yongzhen secretly left ho, ran alone to Yulong Fort on Black Cloud Mountain outside the city, and found the Bandit Leader, wanting to join the bandits and enjoy the thrills of being a bandit himself!
Yet becoming a bandit isn’t just sothing you can do by saying you want to do it.
A nobody claiming to join the bandits, that’s unlikely, what if you’re an undercover agent planted by the authorities?
ng Yongzhen was anxious; being a bandit and killing and plundering was his dream. If his family supported him in pursuing this dream, he wouldn’t have beco estranged from them and run here looking for a way out.
The Bandit Leader was sowhat moved upon hearing this; in these tis, apart from those starving and unable to eat, or those too poor to afford clothes, who would want to be a bandit?
Rarely would there be soone with a genuine love for this line of work, but the Bandit Leader was still not daring to easily trust ng Yongzhen.
"Alright then, you say you sincerely want to join, so first you need to provide proof of your loyalty. If you can produce that, I’ll recognize you as a brother!"
ng Yongzhen asked, "What is proof of loyalty, and specifically how does one prove it?"
The head said, "Proof of loyalty is a head, and since it carries the term ’na’, it must be soone with a na and status in the city or its vicinity, like the county’s constable or shopkeepers from major firms, those all count!"
At that ti, ng Yongzhen was just an ordinary person who couldn’t even practice martial arts; how could he have the ability to trouble major firms?
Let alone the county’s constable!
But just as ng Yongzhen was getting anxious, a sudden inspiration struck him—the fact that his own father was just the owner of a major firm, wasn’t he!
In terms of reputation, who within ten miles could match his father?
Oh well! For the sake of the child’s dream, the old man must temporarily be wronged!
ng Yongzhen rolled up his sleeves, and acted decisively.
That night, the moon was dark and the winds were high.
That night, the dogs of the ng family were barking.
ng Yongzhen successfully realized his dream, but upon learning that the proof of loyalty he gave was his entire family, the Bandit Leader refused to swear brotherhood with him no matter what.
Bandits aren’t insane; though they may have a low moral baseline, they still have one.
And ng Yongzhen was evidently a true lunatic; today he dared to betray his kin, tomorrow he’d dare to betray his brother in oath, and the day after he’d dare to slaughter his household.
A person like this is no different from a frozen snake; one day, slling warmth, he wouldn’t even know how he t his end!
Front foot, the Bandit Leader swore brotherhood with ng Yongzhen; back foot, he took him to the cliff of the rear mountain.
"Brother ng, do you want to ascend to immortality?"
"Immortality?"
"Yes, like an Immortal! I’ve heard storytellers say many people find Immortal abodes at the bottom of cliffs and learn formidable skills, Divine Techniques!"
"I think Brother ng has this kind of fate."
Before ng Yongzhen could react to what was happening, he felt a trendous force on his lower back, and his entire person was already kicking down the cliff like a broken sack.
During his fall, ng Yongzhen faintly heard the Bandit Leader scoffing at him...
Xu Qing continued to read, ng Yongzhen didn’t encounter an Immortal abode, or a paradise; rather, he t the Celestial Master Liu, who possessed nine shadows.
The Celestial Master Liu glanced at the thing falling from the heavens; how could there be seven trails of exhaust behind it?
Upon closer inspection, well! It turned out to be seven shadows trailing behind the person falling off the cliff!
In the Five Filthy Evil Worlds, good people don’t live long, but evil ones have their fortune, ng Yongzhen miraculously survived the disaster and happily earned the position of Celestial Master’s Mansion last disciple.
The Celestial Master Liu was also pleased; this disciple was like an uncut gem, truly born for practicing the rciless path of cultivation!
ng Yongzhen indeed lived up to expectations; during his cultivation following the Celestial Master Liu, his cultivation level skyrocketed.
Reaching a century of cultivation, ng Yongzhen returned to his hotown, seeking the Bandit Leader who had once kicked him down the mountain.
The Bandit Leader saw his oath brother clothed in Taoist robes, walking clouds as if on solid ground, and thought that the storytellers really weren’t deceiving; there indeed was fortune waiting beneath the cliffs!
A generation of bandits thought his wicked life was about to end, but unexpectedly, ng Yongzhen not only didn’t kill him for revenge but laughed and thanked him, saying if it weren’t for his brother’s kick, he wouldn’t have t the Celestial Master Liu, nor achieved today’s success.
After speaking, ng Yongzhen even expressed wanting to take the Bandit Leader to the Celestial Master’s Mansion to beco a Daoist.
The Bandit Leader was deeply moved, but strangely, ever since joining ng Yongzhen in the Celestial Master’s Mansion filled with ntal patients, the originally evil-doer bandit beca the only one who could read the scriptures, willing to reform and be a genuine Daoist.
But this clearly didn’t fit the tradition of Celestial Master’s Mansion; everyone was abnormal in private, how co he was proper both front and back?
With only one shadow, the Bandit Leader beca the target of bullying in Celestial Master’s Mansion; if ng Yongzhen hadn’t intervened and assigned him to guard the mountain gate, this Bandit Leader probably wouldn’t have been able to live to today.
