I am going to live forever in the world of mortals

Chapter 17 It's him, and it's not him...

"woke up?"

Zhang Yangming looked back, and for some reason, his bloodshot eyes turned black and white.

With a gentle smile on his face, he said: "The teacher asked you to take good care of your junior sister on the way, why don't you know how to add some firewood when you fall asleep in the middle of the night? What if you catch a cold?"

"Master..."

Zhang Xiuyuan looked at the master in a black robe, with his gray and white long hair tied together, wearing a lotus crown, and a hairpin, and felt a chill in his heart.

In the many years of meditation, he has never seen the master wearing a black robe, and since the master suffered from hysteria, the lotus crown and hairpin have not been worn for many years.

He looked at the master who had been with him day and night for many years outside the door, and looked at the familiar face with a gentle smile on his face, but he felt a strange feeling in his heart...

Zhang Miaoshan seemed to have heard the movement, rubbed his sleepy eyes and opened them in a daze.

After seeing the worried-looking senior brother and the master outside the door, she blinked blankly, her lips murmured but she didn't know what to say.

"It's okay to wake up..."

Zhang Yangming stepped into the General's Temple, his eyes moved slightly and he said with a smile: "This barren mountain is uninhabited, and it's not safe. I'm here to take you home."

When he stepped into the General Temple, the shadow was drawn very long by the morning sun, like a cloud of cloud hanging over the hearts of the two brothers and sisters.

"..."

Zhang Xiuyuan only felt his scalp numb, and asked in a dull voice: "Didn't the master ask the disciple to go to Baiyun Temple to look for the aunt, why did he find it himself?"

"It's a long story..."

Zhang Yangming sighed softly, and said with a smile: "Shortly after you left, I made a divination for my teacher, and the hexagram showed that your trip was not going well. I was worried about your safety, so I followed you over to have a look. You go home, and I will personally send you to Baiyun Temple in a few days."

"..."

A smile appeared on Zhang Xiuyuan's face, and he said, "Master, you don't have to worry too much, this trip is not going wrong for this disciple."

"But this road doesn't seem to be the way to Baiyun Temple."

Zhang Yangming looked at the dilapidated General Temple indifferently, and asked with a smile: "Cultivating Yuan, Baiyun Temple is within the territory of Xijing Prefecture, you should travel east, why do you travel north here, so that it is easy to find for the teacher?"

Zhang Xiuyuan didn't know what he noticed, so he relaxed, and said bluntly: "Because the disciple is afraid that the master will be controlled by the evil thoughts, and he will go back on what he says."

"..."

The smile on Zhang Yangming's face froze when he heard the words, and he sighed softly: "Xiuyuan, I have raised you as a teacher for more than ten years, and you treat me like this as a teacher?"

"The disciple dare not..."

Zhang Xiuyuan shook his head, and said seriously: "Master once said to leave quickly and don't look back. This disciple will keep it in mind. Since Master is not controlled by evil thoughts, can you let me and my junior sister leave?"

"..."

Seeing him disobeying him so much, Zhang Yangming knew that he had noticed something, so he simply stopped pretending and snorted coldly.

"Since good words don't work, then don't blame the teacher forcibly taking you back."

As he spoke, he flicked his fingers lightly, and two wisps of energy gushed out from his fingertips, which submerged into Zhang Xiuyuan's and Zhang Miaoshan's bodies respectively.

"..."

The two senior brothers and sisters didn't even have time to react, they felt their bodies stiffen, limp on the ground as if their bones had been taken away, and fell into a coma...

"Zhang Yangming, look at the good apprentice you taught. He didn't follow the teacher's instructions and went north. I searched for it for two full days!"

Zhang Yangming let out a soft snort with a sullen expression on his face, and then he lifted his hands into the air, and directly captured the sleeping brother and sister in his hands.

Holding one person in each hand, he jumped out of the General Temple like a chicken, and then used light kung fu to fly away on the treetops and branches.

That speed is even faster than the fast horse.

………………

Looking at the sky above the void...

At some point, a red-topped, red-eyed, red-cheeked and blue-footed white crane flew over. It fluttered its wings and soared in an extremely elegant posture, and even when it fell and retracted, it looked extremely elegant and refined.

The white crane was several times larger than ordinary white cranes, it landed behind Taixuguan's front yard, and a female crown fell lightly from its back.

The woman wears a blue Taoist robe embroidered with cloud patterns, holds a dust whisk in her hand, and holds a lotus crown. She looks like a woman, but the years don't seem to have left too many traces on her face, and she can't tell how old she is.

She looked at the empty Taixu Temple that she had visited sixty years ago, and her expression revealed a bit of worry and sorrow...

The name of the female crown is Ning Zizhen, who is also the current master of Baiyun Temple.

The previous masters of Baiyun Temple and Taixu Temple had a deep friendship. In the early years, the masters of the two temples often visited each other with their disciples. At that time, Ning Zizhen, who was still a Taoist boy, met Zhang Yangming, who was also a Taoist boy...

Because of the relationship between Baiyun and Taixu, the two viewers, they have always been referred to as brothers and sisters...

At that time, they were in their youth, Ning Zi was innocent and Zhang Yangming was extremely intelligent, both of them were attracted to each other, and a love affair arose secretly.

Both teachers saw it, but didn't say much...

Until Baiyun Temple was valued by Yuntai Mountain, as a stronghold for Yuntai Mountain to face the world of mortals;
Until Ning Zizhen was told that Zhang Yangming, who was extremely intelligent since he was a child, had no celestial karma, but he himself had a celestial karma.

until……

Suddenly, everything seemed to have changed.

The master began to warn her that there is a difference between immortals and mortals, and that she should not get too close to Zhang Yangming, so as not to mess up her Daoist heart in the future.

Taixuguan's uncle came to Baiyunguan to be a matchmaker for his disciples, but was rejected by the master, and even broke up the friendship between the two for many years...

Zhang Yangming came to look for her, but was taken by the master to have a conversation. She could guess what the master talked to him without even thinking about it.

She knows her master's good intentions, but at the same time she also knows that her senior brother who has been in love with each other has been smart since childhood and has a high spirit, so he must not be humiliated;

She wanted to mediate, but it was already too late...

Zhang Yangming left in shame and anger, saying that he would definitely find the fairy fate, and even made an oath that if he failed to find the fairy fate, he would never meet him again.

The originally intersecting life trajectories of the two also came to a fork in the road at that time. One was accepted by Yuntai Mountain to practice under the sect, and the other was struggling in the world of mortals.

She tried to find Zhang Yangming many times, but was turned away.

She also understood that Zhang Yangming's spirit was quite high, so she no longer insisted, but asked someone to deliver a letter and a cloud-patterned jade pendant, in which a promise of Jiazi was made in the letter, and the jade pendant was the token...

Time flies.

She is no longer what she used to be, and she has almost forgotten Zhang Yangming's appearance, but she still remembers that agreement.

She doesn't even know whether the one she likes now is that brilliant young senior brother, or Zhang Yangming, but she really wants to ask, is it worth it for the sake of an oath that you haven't seen him in decades?
she does not know…

also want to know...

She waited in Baiyun Temple for a year as if angry, but she never saw that person come to the appointment, nor did she wait for the answer that had troubled her for many years.

But just yesterday...

Someone ran to death and two horses sent a letter and a cloud-patterned jade pendant, just like how she entrusted someone to deliver the letter and jade pendant to Zhang Yangming.

In that letter, she learned about Zhang Yangming's changes over the years, and also learned about the experiences of the two nephews.

In her mind, that intelligent young senior brother and Zhang Yangming described in the letter are like two people...

It was only then that she realized that the extremely intelligent young senior brother might have died as early as that autumn of that year, under the words of the master, within the oath, and within her own dream...

It is him who is alive now, and it is not him...
