Chen Yuan saw this and was infected by the emotion, a smile appearing on his face.
He couldn’t return to his hotown, but helping others fulfill their dreams seed nice.
However, these people have poor self-protection abilities, so he must leave so ans for them.
"Bator, go down and select so people, not too many."
"As for you, co with !" he said to Mi Ayi.
Saying this, he walked straight into the room.
Bator respectfully responded "Yes," hurried out, and did not forget to close the door.
Mi Ayi followed behind Chen Yuan as instructed and went inside.
Half a day later, a group of Hu people, in the desolate mountains hundreds of miles northeast outside Jingguan City, summoned a soaring white beam of light and transmitted away.
They carried Chen Yuan’s letter and were going to pass through Tianxiong Pass to the Western Regions.
As the silver beam disappeared between Heaven and Earth, a silver giant tree in this desolate mountain quickly shrank and was then taken in by a sleeve that covered the sky.
Then, green light fled far towards the east.
.....
When Chen Yuan returned, the sky was already dark.
At his doorstep, a little green bird stood on the opposite courtyard wall, ticulously grooming its feathers with its beak.
When he ca out silently and opened the courtyard door, the little green bird imdiately noticed, chirped once, and took flight towards him.
Chen Yuan raised a hand, and the green bird landed on his wrist, gripping it with its claws, eyes like mung beans flashing with a human-like light.
"Master!"
"Guests have arrived from outside the mountain, waiting for you!"
Before Chen Yuan could speak, the bird spoke human language, clear and discernible, like a little girl’s voice.
Hearing this, Chen Yuan instinctively raised an eyebrow, but he pondered the aning behind the green bird’s words.
Guests?
This Contracted Demon didn’t say they were unknown, said they were guests, could it be an acquaintance?
"Where?"
Chen Yuan asked.
"In Nine Lives’ cave dwelling, that person wears a white robe, has very black eyes, is very powerful, and has taken away the little ones here, asking where you are."
"He said he was invited by you as a guest!"
"Ca to drink wine."
The green bird called Ji Rufeng, and Nine Lives is a Cat Demon, all these were nas given by Gongsun Yang when he wrote the Qingshan Demon-Slaying Chronicles for the Contracted Demons under his command.
And as Ji Rufeng described the clothing characteristics, Chen Yuan imdiately recognized who ca.
The White-clothed Monarch Luo Cheng!
Then he was sowhat puzzled; he had ntioned inviting the person to Qingshan County as a guest, but through several encounters, the other person was reclusive, always staying at Youn Pass.
This ti to Qingshan County, rely to find him for drinking?
Forget it; he’ll know when he goes.
He was too lazy to think much, closed his eyes for a mont to probe, then closed the courtyard door and disappeared from the courtyard with a step.
Langdang Mountain East Slope, seventy miles east of Qingshan County, at a cliff halfway up a low mountain about two hundred ters high, there are ten or more vigorous old pines, growing outwards around the cliff, lush and forming a large area.
And among the vigorous tree crowns, there is a treehouse;
The treehouse is pieced together from wooden planks, crafted delicately, occupying three feet square, not big, yet giving a sense of exquisite charm.
Inside, it’s fragrant and ancient, with screens, incense burners, dressing tables, rouge and powder, hibiscus tents, and even a guzheng... These furnishings look like an elegant place where a lady lives alone, and are cleaned thoroughly.
At this mont, outside the wooden house, a figure in white sat outside, looking out at the scenery among the mountains, eyes deep like ink.
One hand was placed on a pear wood table beside him, a table stacked with fresh fruits from the mountains and a cup of tea that had long cooled.
No one was around.
But not far from the tree crown, a pair of eyes peeked from the branches, observing the white-robed man, eyes rolling.
Sneaking, not daring to co forward.
Master’s guest, sitting there motionless, makes them all afraid.
They’ve been waiting for half a day, but unfortunately they couldn’t contact the master, and the person remains, they dare not leave either.
Just then, they saw the seated white-robed man move and rise, looking towards the west.
After a while, a stream of light descended here, revealing Chen Yuan’s figure.
Chen Yuan looked at the White-clothed Monarch and confird his thoughts, shook the green bird in his hand, then stepped forward a few steps,
"Creak"
"Creak"
The wooden planks underfoot creaked.
"Elder Luo’s grand visit, I failed to welco you from afar. I happened to be out when the Contracted Demon under my command inford , leaving Elder waiting," Chen Yuan cupped his hands, apologetic in tone.
Luo Cheng seeing him did not say more pleasantries,
"You, this Great General, really resigned and retired to the countryside?"
Seemingly not expecting Chen Yuan’s words to be true.
"Naturally, doesn’t Elder rember? In that battle against the Heavenly People, you warned , if the trees stand out in the forest, the wind will surely destroy them."
"So I resigned and retired to the countryside, seeking peace!"
Chen Yuan, having interacted much with this man, spoke more casually.
The White-clothed Luo Cheng slowly nodded, "You are decisive, but would the Court let a Martial Saint like you resign?"
Chen Yuan chuckled, "That wouldn’t be my concern."
After saying that, he looked inquisitive, "Did Elder co today rely to find for drinking?"
"Yes, and no!" Luo Cheng’s tone was enigmatic.
Chen Yuan’s eyebrows twitched, "This place is simple, please Elder move to speak."
With that, he glanced towards the eyes among the branches,
"What are you still hiding for, co out."
As he said this, humanoid demon figures erged from the neighboring branches.
Each with its own appearance.
Like the two adorable fat brothers, Benbo’erba; Zhu Ziqing with a big head and pig ears; a little child with two deer horns, and the charming Nine Lives with cat ears....
"Master!"
"Master!"
Each one knelt in salute.
"Scatter away, prepare the dishes, this general needs to host guests."
Chen Yuan gave orders, and these Contracted Demons imdiately scattered in excitent and transford into birds and beasts.
"Interesting!"
"But these little demons do not match your status." The White-clothed Monarch Luo Cheng casually comnted seeing this.
"These were Contracted Demons that followed early on." Chen Yuan didn’t speak much.
"Please Elder follow !"
Saying this, he unleashed Escape Light and continued eastwards.
Luo Cheng said nothing, followed along.
Thus, Chen Yuan continued east more than a hundred miles, Escape Light landing at a creek!
At this mont, night descended, the moon and stars sparse, the creek covered in mist, obscuring the valley scenery.
There’s a prohibition here!
Chen Yuan did not storm through, revealing his aura.
Before long, a channel appeared in the mist, Chen Yuan’s body blurred forwards, and dashed inside.
As he just entered the valley below, a white light welcod him, accompanied by familiar whispering.
"Chen, strange indeed, why suddenly co to my old man’s place."
"How was the wine last ti?"
"Hey, why is there another...."
The voice abruptly stopped.
In the white light, Old Man Dong appeared, stopped midair, eyes looking suspiciously at the White-clothed Monarch behind Chen Yuan.
Oh my, he knew this guy!
In that ghost place, in that Burial Land, at the ti this big shot was commanding with a wave, a sweeping White Bone Army howled, terrifyingly so.
This guy is indeed the boss!
Why did Chen Yuan bring this man to his place?
He quickly gave Chen Yuan a look, eyes blinking, making Chen Yuan amused, stepped forward nearby.
Old Man Dong hurriedly pulled him aside, speaking in covert tones,
"Why did you bring this man to my place."
"Makes scared even seeing him."
He called Chen ’lad’ casually since they had laid a solid revolutionary foundation.
But suddenly arriving such a figure, he was restrained, entirely uncomfortable.
Seeing him cautious, Chen Yuan tried not to laugh,
"The wine you gave last ti was given to this Elder, this Elder found Old Dong you skillful, so he ca to drink this ti."
"So I brought him here."
"Old Dong, you understand."
"What’s the master then, haha."
