Chapter 171 Recognizing a Cousin at Emei

Chapter 171 Recognizing a Cousin at Emei
Mount Emei, the narrow gorge.

After a whole day of travel, Anzhi and Ge Wensong finally arrived at the First Line Sky at the foot of Mount Emei. Along the way, Anzhi ignored Tuantuan behind him, while Ge Wensong occasionally urged them on.

Stepping into the One Line Sky of Mount Emei is like stepping into a natural corridor leading to a mysterious and secluded realm. The cliffs on both sides stand like two towering giants, majestic and piercing the clouds.

On the cliff face, rocks are layered upon layered. In some places, the rocks are jagged and sharp stones protrude outwards, while in other places they are relatively smooth. Occasionally, a few tenacious vines meander out from between the rocks.

"Wow, it truly lives up to its name as a sacred mountain." Ge Wensong looked up and saw that the sky was compressed into a narrow line, like a blue ribbon gently suspended in the high sky.

Anzhi had no interest in the beautiful scenery and turned around to glance at Tuantuan behind her with a stern face.

At this moment, Tuanzi was actually glancing at Anzhi with its dark little eyes, but when it saw that Anzhi turned around and ignored it, and walked away chatting and laughing with Ge Wensong, its anger flared up again.

But in the end, there was nothing it could do but slowly follow behind.

After passing through the narrow passage, a Taoist temple came into view, with the words "Jieyin Hall" written on the plaque above the gate.

Before I could think much of it, the Emei disciple arrived. She was dressed in a plain-colored robe, her sleeves fluttering, and a light blue ribbon tied around her waist, swaying gently in the wind.

The disciple who was guiding the way put his hands together and nodded slightly in greeting: "Greetings, benefactors."

Anzhi and Ge Wensong quickly returned the greetings and told the guiding disciple the purpose of their visit.

Upon hearing this, the disciple smiled slightly and began to introduce them to the history and culture of Mount Emei, as well as the origins and lineage of the Emei School.

According to custom, those who come to pay homage to the mountain cannot be welcomed up the mountain yet. They must first stay in the Reception Hall and wait for a reply from above before they can go up the mountain. Therefore, the disciples who were in charge of receiving the two people settled them in the Reception Hall.

After a series of elaborate rituals, the disciples who were to receive the message went up the mountain to report, while Anzhi and Ge Wensong rested in the main hall.

"Tuantuan, come here." Anzhi ignored Tuantuan the whole way, but seeing that they had found a place to rest, he couldn't help but try to persuade Tuantuan, who was still throwing a tantrum at the door.

Upon hearing the sound, Tuantuan glanced into the main hall, shifted her body slightly against the wall, and then stopped.

"Tuantuan, Mommy, come here." Anzhi called out again with a stern face.

Tuantuan still glanced sideways at the main hall, hoping that Anzhi would come forward to comfort it. Its desire was strong, but Anzhi just sat next to Ge Wensong and kept shouting.

Seeing this, Ge Wensong was quite embarrassed, so he jokingly said, "Oh dear, Tuanbao must be tired today."

Seeing that Tuantuan was still unmoved, Anzhi's temper flared up, and she immediately scolded, "Fine, fine, now you're not listening to Mommy. If you're not coming, then get out. Get out and don't get in the way at the door."

These words were like a shot of adrenaline, stinging Tuantuan's heart. It glanced sideways at the angry Anzhi and Wensong drinking tea beside it, and finally walked outside in great disappointment.

A rebellious son is a rebellious son, no matter where he goes. When Anzhi saw that Tuantuan really was going out slowly, he was so angry that he stammered, "You, you, you, look at this, what kind of temper is this, huh?"

"Oh dear," Ge Wensong quickly comforted, "I don't think Tuanzi can change her temper. It's going to be tough."

Anzhi was on the verge of tears; how was she supposed to get along with this from now on...?

Tuantuan was very disappointed. After leaving the main hall, she went to the side of the Reception Hall and quietly looked at the narrow passage in front of her. At this moment, a monkey jumped down from a tree and landed lightly on a rock not far from Tuantuan. The monkey was covered with fluffy brown fur and its long tail curled nimbly.

"Hey, Fatty, what's wrong? Did humans bully you?" The monkey jumped from the tree onto the stone railing.

At this moment, Tuantuan was annoyed by these jumping around and casually said, "Get out of here."

The monkey didn't take it seriously and kept jumping around in front of Tuantuan, saying, "The awesome iron-eating beast has actually become a human's son? Hey, aren't you ashamed? Looks like you don't have any relatives left."

Tuantuan was completely enraged, and it instantly stood up and warned, "Get lost."

"Why are you taking it out on me? Hehe, if humans can be your mom, then I'll be your cousin, hahaha."

Enraged, Tuantuan rushed forward and slapped the stone lion on the railing with such force that it knocked it off. But the monkey reacted very quickly and jumped up into the tree in an instant.

The monkey looked at Tuan Tuan with a puzzled expression and said, "Hey, Fatty, are you out of your mind? Can't you take a joke? You treat humans like your mother, but I can't treat you like my cousin?"

"Who do you think you are, you damned monkey?" Tuantuan said, glaring fiercely at the monkey.

The monkey had been grinning and smirking at first, but seeing Tuantuan's attitude, it immediately put on a serious face, pondered for a moment, and said, "Fatty, if you've got the guts, come with me to the back." Then it scurried away.

Tuantuan, who was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, chased after the monkey to an open space.

Tuantuan intended to take her anger out on the monkeys, but as soon as she reached the middle of the open space, a group of monkeys surrounded her from all directions, each with a serious expression, as if they were about to give Tuantuan a doomsday judgment.

"Hey guys, this fatso's got a skinny nose today, let's loosen it up," the monkey said to the other monkeys.

Seeing this, Tuanzi quickly stood up and roared, "Awooo..."

The roar was loud, but not very dangerous. The monkey troop swarmed forward and attacked in turn.

Several monkeys were jumping around the dumpling, constantly looking for its weaknesses. Some monkeys hit the dumpling with branches, while others took the opportunity to grab its fur.

Eventually, Tuanzi found itself in a predicament. It had several wounds on its body, so it simply sat down and refused to fight back no matter how the monkeys attacked it.

The monkeys noticed Tuan Tuan's disappointment and worries, and gave a sharp cry to the troop, causing them to scatter.

The monkey cautiously approached Tuan Tuan, remaining highly vigilant throughout. Only when it saw that Tuan Tuan merely glanced at it with its head tilted before getting up and slowly leaving did the monkey lower its guard.

"Hey, Fatty." The monkey looked at Tuan Tuan's back with a hint of curiosity and friendliness in its eyes.

Tuantuan's sense of loss followed it like a shadow. Its steps were heavy and slow, and its eyes were full of confusion and loneliness. It stopped and turned to look at the monkey with a grinning face. Suddenly, a smile appeared on its face: "Hey, buddy."

"Haha, that's right. If humans can be your mom, then I, the monkey, can be your cousin." In the blink of an eye, the monkey jumped onto Tuan Tuan's head: "Be happy, always stay joyful."

A warm feeling welled up in Tuanzi's heart. Perhaps it was Anzhi's isolation these past few days that made Tuanzi feel lonely, or perhaps it was the monkey's unique kindness. Tuanzi inexplicably regarded the monkey as a reliable partner and considered him her cousin.
