You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 49 Guarding the Mountain
It was daybreak. When Shi Zelan woke up, he looked around. He was still a little confused at first, but then he became fully awake.

In the main hall, True Lord Fengyuan looked at Master Fang Cheng and the others and said, "Sister Lan has woken up. After I see her, I can retreat in peace."

When Shi Zelan entered the main hall, she happened to hear the words of True Lord Fengyuan. She walked over and saluted True Lord Fengyuan: "Lan'er is unfilial and has made Master worried and tired."

True Lord Fengyuan stretched out his hand to caress the top of her head: "You are the greatest filial piety to me."

Fang Chengzhenren, his three brothers and Shi Zelan stood at the gate of Zizi Peak, looking at the empty sky.

Master Fang Cheng sighed softly and said to the two junior brothers: "I informed the leader yesterday and soon opened the formation at the waterfall."

Master Shanzheng said: "I took Sister Lan and went down the mountain."

Master Pingyang looked at Shi Zelan, who still had a somewhat confused look on his face: "Sister Lan, when you get off the mountain, if you get lost with your master, remember to go to various stations in our sect to ask for help."

Shi Zelan nodded: "I took note of it, little junior uncle."

After Master Fang Cheng looked at Shi Zelan for a while, he said with a smile: "Sister Lan, your master and uncles are waiting for you and your master to return safely at the sect."

This farewell atmosphere made Master Shanzheng directly mention that Shi Zelan went to the Medicine Pavilion by flying boat.

At the door of the Medicine Pavilion, Master Decheng and Shi Xiaoliu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time when they saw Master Shanzheng. Master Decheng directly carried Shi Xiaoliu onto the flying boat.

"Shan Zheng, after leaving the sect, we need to rearrange our identities."

Master Shanzheng looked at him and said, "You are the elder brother and I am the younger brother. Xiaoliu is the eldest nephew and Sister Lan is your little niece. That's the relationship."

"Okay. We can't let one of us dress up as a woman just for the sake of two little ones."

"Brother Decheng, you are the elder. If you want to pretend, you have to pretend to be a woman."

"Since I am an elder brother, naturally you cannot call me by my name outside.

But Shanzheng, you need to change your name so that no one will notice the four of us. "

Master Decheng glanced at Master Shanzheng and gave him the right to decide the name.

Master Shanzheng looked at him and said, "You are Dacheng, so I am friendly. Xiaoliu's name is okay, but Sister Lan needs to change her name."

Sister Lan, what do you want to be called? "

"Uncle, Master, what is our last name?"

Decheng Guren and Shanzheng Zhenren saw each other and said: "Shi, we are herb collectors from the mountains."

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at each other, and Shi Zelan smiled and said, "Then I am a girl from the Shi family."

"Okay, many women in the secular world only have surnames and no names.

Niuer is a good name. From now on, we must remember our first and last names. "

When they were almost at the bottom of the mountain, the four of them got off the flying boat. Master Decheng waved his hand and he changed into a coarse cloth shirt.

He waved his hand to Shi Xiaoshou. Shi Xiaoliu looked down at the coarse clothes on his body and suddenly laughed: "My mother-in-law made me clothes like this before."

Master Shanzheng had already changed into blue coarse cloth clothes, but he was reluctant to wrong Shi Zelan so much and changed her into a pink pleated skirt.

Shi Zelan raised his hand and said to Master Shanzheng: "Father, I want to wear the same clothes as you."

Master Decheng stretched out his hand and tapped Shi Zelan. She looked down at her coarse clothes and smiled: "We are a family now."

The mountain road was very narrow, only suitable for one person to walk. Standing on the mountain, they could already see smoke curling up from the villages below.

Decheng Zhenren and his party were walking down the mountain.

At Shenshi, they came down the mountain and met people who were going up the mountain. They were surprised and asked them: "Where did you come from?" Master Decheng pointed behind him and said with a simple and honest look on his face: "We haven't gone down the mountain for many years.

The two children didn't know that people could live under the mountain. Our brothers took them down the mountain to gain a lot of experience. "

Master Shanzheng was carrying a bamboo basket on his back and a big bundle in his hand. Standing behind Master Decheng, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan did not even raise their heads.

After seeing this, the villagers looked at Master Decheng with a look of sympathy on his face: "Brother, you should keep an eye on your brother and two children at the foot of the mountain."

"We'll just take a look at the bottom of the mountain, and we'll go back to the mountain soon. It's getting cold, and it snowed early on our mountain."

"Brother, you are very lucky to have met me today. It is getting late at this hour, so you can stay at my house for one night."

Master Decheng saw Shan Zheng's expression and said with a smile: "Brother, when we were going down the mountain, we heard from the old people that we could stay in the temple."

"Temple, let me think about it, go down the mountain and walk a few miles to the left, and you will see Shouyama Temple.

Shoushan Temple is now unguarded, and the original monks have wandered around.

You can pick up some firewood from the mountain and go down there. Burn it at night to scare the wolves. "

"Okay, I'll listen to the big brother. I'll take a few steps behind him and pick up a few branches from behind."

The enthusiastic villager brother wanted to go home in a hurry. After telling the village and his name to Master Decheng, he quickly walked down the mountain with a load of firewood.

Master Decheng exhaled: "Big brother is so eloquent, as if he knows everything."

Master Shan Zheng looked at him and said, "Brother, you are quite adaptable."

Master Decheng said quite proudly: "How did I perform just now?"

"No, it doesn't look like someone who lives in the mountains for a long time. Instead, it looks like a mountain person who often goes down the mountain."

"Oh, what a mistake. Sure enough, I didn't go down the mountain often, there are flaws everywhere.

The big brother probably saw something was wrong. When he went down the mountain, he almost slipped down. "

"Uncle, doesn't he know that our Yunyan Sect is on the mountain?"

“Ordinary people don’t know that there is Yunyan Sect on the mountain.

And after we come down from the mountain, we will not mention our origins to people in the secular world.

Girl, there is a difference between immortals and mortals. "

Shi Zelan thought of Shijiazhuang, and she said to Shi Xiaoliu: "When I was in Zhuangzi, it seemed that everyone in the Shi family knew about the Yunyan Sect."

“The Shi family in Shijiazhuang all know the Yunyan Sect.

In other places, the younger generation of the Shi family probably don’t know the origins of the Yunyan Sect and the Shi family. "

The four of them had already walked down the mountain. Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were following behind Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng with obedient and timid faces.

They passed by villages calling for children to come home and saw a wary look on the women's faces.

They did not stop, but kept walking to the left until they saw Moriyama Temple, which had only three walls.

"This temple is dilapidated. When I came here, the courtyard wall had just been built and there were three or four monks guarding the temple."

"Brother, that happened decades ago, right?"
