What a lucky world!

Chapter 96 Welcome the young leader back to the mountain!
It was raining continuously when I left, and the sun was shining brightly when I returned.

After crossing Crescent Lake by boat, Zhang Mu stepped onto Riyaoping. Looking up, he saw the mist floating on the warm mountains and wisps of smoke from cooking fires. The melancholy that had been weighing on his heart since he left Wan'an County was suddenly swept away.

Qianyuan Mountain, Qianyuan Wuzhai, I am back again.

"Son, this will be your home from now on! Hahahaha..." Lin Jinglong's loud voice exploded in Zhang Mu's ears.

Ever since he called him "Dad", Lin Jinglong kept calling him "Dad" all the way, as if he was afraid that others didn't know their relationship.

Shisanniang also smiled, naturally took Zhang Mu's arm, and said, "This time when we go up the mountain, you are not allowed to walk..."

Wei Wuyou chuckled beside him, "Still want to leave? All the wine on the mountain is gone!"

Zhang Mu smiled easily when he heard this. At this moment, a black smoke floated down from the mountain at an extremely fast speed. Finally, it hit Zhang Mu's arms directly like a sharp arrow.

"Meow!"

Zhang Mu's hand sank, and he felt something soft. He looked down and saw Xuan Ji rubbing against him affectionately. Zhang Mu touched Xuan Ji's back and said with a smile, "Are your injuries healed?"

"Okay!" Xuan Ji raised her head and looked at Zhang Mu, feeling a little aggrieved. "I didn't see you when I woke up..."

Xuan Ji originally wanted to say that they hadn't seen each other for a long time and wanted to have a bite, but in the end she felt that there were too many people and she felt a little embarrassed, so she didn't say it.

"I'm going down the mountain to do some work first..." Zhang Mu rubbed Xuan Ji's head and said, "By the way, Xuan Ji, I'll be going up the mountain from now on. Do you want to go back to Wan'an County?"

Xuan Ji was startled, then shook her head: "The person Lao Deng asked me to wait for is dead. There's no point in me going back..."

"I...want to be with you..."

Zhang Mu was even more delighted when he heard this and said, "Okay, then you stay with me."

"By the way, I took the initiative on something, please don't be angry."

Xuan Ji looked at Zhang Mu, blinked, and looked confused.

Zhang Mu turned around and pointed to a boat behind him, and saw that Mr. Ya was getting off the boat, followed by a group of rats.

"I brought them along."

"Meow!" Xuan Ji shouted in surprise, jumped up in Zhang Mu's arms, kissed Zhang Mu, then quickly turned into black smoke, broke away from Zhang Mu's arms, and rushed towards Uncle Ya.

"You little cat are quite rare..." Lin Jinglong looked at Xuan Ji, "This ability to transform into smoke and walk is one of the six supernatural powers of Buddhism, the Divine Foot Power."

"She turned a disaster into a blessing this time and successfully advanced to the next level, which is equivalent to the Moon-Eating Realm of the demon race and the Nourishing Fluid Realm of the human race. Her magical powers are even more powerful. If she really wants to leave, I'm afraid not even I can stop her."

"Okay, let's stop standing here and chatting, let's go up the mountain." Shisan Niang urged.

Everyone nodded and walked towards the mountain together.

Just as they passed the mountain gate, many figures appeared on the mountain path.

Zhang Mu took a look and saw many familiar faces, most of whom were brothers from the mountain stronghold who he had taught martial arts to before.

Lin Jinglong laughed heartily and stepped forward, shouting in a voice as resounding as a bell: "Brothers, I've brought back your young leader!"

Wei Wuyou also bowed to Zhang Mu and said, "Welcome back to the mountain, Young Master!"

Thirteenth Lady bowed tenderly beside Zhang Mu and said, "Welcome back to the mountain, Young Master!"

Afterwards, the twenty or so strong men who had come down the mountain with Zhang Mu also shouted in unison: "Welcome back to the mountain, Young Master!"

At this moment, among the many figures on the mountain path, the two-meter-tall Lu Tianlu stepped out and shouted, "Welcome back to the mountain, Young Master!"

Immediately, the people on both sides started to speak up: "Welcome Young Village Master back to the mountain!"

Zhang Mu was stunned and looked at Lin Jinglong, Wei Wuyou and Shisan Niang. He understood from their mischievous smiles that this was something they had arranged in advance without telling him.

Zhang Mu laughed again.

The first time he went to Qianyuan Mountain, he was seriously injured and was rescued. He originally planned to repay his father with his life and stay on the mountain, but his father refused.

The second time he went to Qianyuan Mountain, he was still seriously injured and was rescued. He did not say that he wanted to stay. After he woke up, he said that he wanted revenge. His father brought the people from the mountain stronghold to accompany him to make trouble in Wan'an County.

This is my third time going up the mountain.

Zhang Mu was moved by the disjointed but sincere greetings.

How could he deserve such kindness?

He vaguely understood how much Lin Jinglong and Wei Wuyou valued him, so all he could do was live up to their appreciation.

Zhang Mu clasped his fists, bowed, and saluted everyone, then said loudly: "You are wrong, I am not returning to the mountain this time!"

Everyone was stunned and looked at Zhang Mu.

"I am--"

"We're going home!" In an instant, the whole mountain cheered.

……

Qianyuan Stronghold, Juyi Hall.

There are three leaders in Qianyuan Village: the eldest, Lin Jinglong; the second, Lu Xuanxiu; and the third, Shisan Niang. Wei Wuyou doesn't hold the title of leader, but he's no less capable than any of them, calling himself the village's strategist.

At this time, Lu Xuanxiu was not in the mountains due to some matters, so this position was vacant.

Zhang Mu walked slowly into the gathering hall and wrote his name on the gathering book.

Then, Zhang Mu walked up to Lin Jinglong and bowed.

Light three incense sticks in front of the hall and burn them to report to God.

We swear an oath of blood with three cups of wine, and vow to live together forever.

After a simple and solemn ceremony, Zhang Mu officially became a member of Qianyuan Village.

After the ceremony was completed, Zhang Mu suddenly felt that he seemed to have changed a little, for example, the speed of his Ren and Du meridians suddenly became a little faster than before.

But now is not the time to delve into these changes, as he still has the next ceremony to perform.

Recognize daddy!

Although Lin Jinglong had been calling him "Big Son" all the way, they still had to formally become father and son, and the minimum etiquette of toasting and bowing was still required.

Just as Zhang Mu was about to bow to Lin Jinglong, Lin Jinglong suddenly reached out and supported Zhang Mu.

"No need for all this red tape!" Lin Jinglong stroked his white beard. "Will you be my son?"

"Yes, Dad!" Zhang Mu nodded solemnly.

"Okay!" Lin Jinglong laughed. "From today on, you are my adopted son, Lin Jinglong, and my only son!"

Suddenly, everyone in the gathering hall burst into congratulations.

"This ceremony was a bit hasty..." Lin Jinglong laughed, "The spear you used earlier was just an ordinary weapon. It would probably be useless if you used it a few more times."

"I've ordered people to procure materials to forge you a more suitable spear."

"But this time I have to pay it first."

Zhang Mu heard this and quickly smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm still young and can wait."

Everyone was amused by Zhang Mu's answer. Shisan Niang also stepped forward, took out a small purse and handed it to Zhang Mu, saying with a smile: "When you are out, my handsome young man like Brother Mu should protect himself well."

"This sachet contains a poisonous mist that can be released at a critical moment. Even those in the Yangye realm will be affected! I give it to you for self-defense. Don't despise it."

"Sister Xuan'er, you're too kind." Zhang Mu quickly took over.

Are you kidding? This self-defense poison mist, if used properly, might even turn the tide of the battle. How dare you despise it!
"You are all generous..." Wei Wuyou smiled, "It makes me look stingy."

As he spoke, Wei Wuyou took out a jade talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Mu, saying, "Old Wei, I don't have any special things. This is my Dian Cang acupuncture method. It can regulate the meridians and acupoints on a daily basis, and it is also very useful as a hidden weapon in battle."

"If you want to learn, then learn. If you don't want to learn, then you can use it to deceive girls in the future!"

Zhang Mu didn't dare to neglect the words and quickly took the jade talisman with both hands. Shisan Niang said on the side: "Old man Wei, you always say you are stingy, but you are generous in your actions."

Lin Jinglong also smiled and said to Zhang Mu, "Boy, this Cangzhen method is a rare and unique martial art. Although it sounds effeminate, it's worth learning!"

"Who are you calling a womanizer?" Wei Wuyou jumped up!

"I'm talking about acupuncture, not you! You're so jumpy, like a woman..." Lin Jinglong replied.

"Brother Lin, what's wrong with the woman?" Upon hearing this, Shisan Niang also joined the battle.

Seeing the three men bickering, all the heroes in the room looked at each other with disbelief.

Zhang Mu sighed upon seeing this and stepped forward and said, "Dad, Sister Xuan'er, Mr. Wei, please wait a moment."

"I also have something to contribute to the village!"

"Hmm?" The three of them looked at Zhang Mu. Lin Jinglong was the first to react and said with a smile, "Is it the Cold Dragon Killing Spring? No, you must at least master the charm of this move to record it!"

"It's not the cold dragon that kills spring!" Zhang Mu took out the complete version of the human meridian map that he had prepared on the way and handed it to Lin Jinglong.

Lin Jinglong took the meridian map with curiosity, and after just a few glances, his eyes immediately became serious. He handed it to Wei Wuyou and Shisan Niang, and then the expressions of the two of them immediately became serious.

"Everyone, leave the Gathering Hall!" Lin Jinglong stood up and said coldly, "Martial law within a five-mile radius! No one is allowed to approach without my summons!"
