Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 165 A Lazybones Receives Heavenly Fortune, a Useless Person Receives True Instructions

Outside the Sanqing Temple.

A tall, white-haired, and dignified old Taoist priest was talking to Wang Yihang and Zhao Yuzhen.

As soon as he saw the young Taoist priest in green robes emerge from the side hall, he called out in a deep voice:
"Really."

Zhuang Buran approached with his head bowed.

"Master."

"Your eldest brother is about to go down the mountain to travel, so why don't you go with him?"

"I am weak and sickly, and I have never practiced martial arts. I cannot endure the hardships of a long journey. I am truly willing but unable."

The young Taoist priest in the green robe lowered his head and said meekly:

"In addition, there were originally four kingdoms in the world: Beili, Beique, Xichu, and Nanjue. The world was constantly in turmoil, and the situation was unpredictable and ever-changing."

"Now, Beique and Xichu have been destroyed by our Beili one after another, but some of the Beique people still went north to create Tianwaitian in the far north, intending to restore the country."

Wang Yihang said with a hint of helplessness:
“Junior Brother Zhen Huan, Bei Que and Xi Chu have been destroyed for fifteen years. You don’t need to be so cautious.”

"Who knows if the Heavenly Realm created by the Northern Que descendants might be plotting something behind the scenes?" The young Taoist priest in the green robe said solemnly.

"I feel safest on the mountain."

“If Senior Brother Zhen doesn’t want to go, I can go,” Zhao Yuzhen hurriedly said.

"One can go down the mountain but doesn't want to, while the other wants to go down the mountain but can't."

Lu Suzhen, the leader of the Taoist sect and the head of Wangcheng Mountain, sighed softly:
"If your fates were switched, that would be perfect, but nothing in this world is ever perfect."

“Master, I don’t believe in fate. I believe that human effort can change destiny. Please let me go down the mountain and have some fun,” Zhao Yuzhen said with anticipation.

"Actually, you can believe in destiny. I believe that lazy people are destined for greatness and good-for-nothings can inherit the true teachings."

"As the saying goes, a diligent millstone turns a dead knot, a lazy tortoise sunbathes its back and cultivates longevity. When ants work hard to build a nest, they are actually borrowing lifespan from Yama, and when they run around like cattle and horses, it's just like borrowing a soup spoon from Meng Po."

The young Taoist priest in the green robe said slowly:

“Little brother, didn’t Master say you were a celestial being descended to earth? If that’s the case, then once you descend the mountain and face your tribulations, it will be a blessing rather than a curse.”

"You shall be restored to the ranks of the immortals and become an immortal in heaven."

"If I were you, upon learning of my predicament, I would immediately run down the mountain, find a big tree, smash my head against it, and ascend to heaven."

Suddenly, Lü Suzhen struck at the head of the young man in the green robe, but he dodged it with a nonchalant sidestep.

Wang Yihang said gloatingly:
"Junior Brother's Dao-attaining physique is truly remarkable, managing to evade Master's attack. However, I haven't seen any respect for his teacher or care for his junior brother at all."

He looked at Lü Suzhen:

“Master, you must punish Junior Brother Huanzhen severely. The more he doesn’t want to do something, the more you should make him do it.”

"Having three such troublesome disciples like you is a great blessing for this old Daoist," Lü Suzhen said, first looking at Zhao Yuzhen.

"You must not descend the mountain until I find a way to break the calamity in your destiny, understand?"

"Yes," Zhao Yuzhen said, somewhat dejected.

"As for the two of you, don't get in my way on the mountain."

The young Taoist priest in the green robe spread his hands:
"Alright, anyway, I have my senior brother protecting me down the mountain. He will definitely risk his life to protect me."

“Junior Brother Zhen, the reason I came down the mountain this time is that your and Junior Brother’s birthdays are coming up, and I plan to find two items as birthday gifts.”

Wang Yihang said leisurely:

"Your attitude just now makes me feel that giving my junior brother a birthday gift is enough."

"Why go to such trouble? The little donkey that Senior Brother has been so meticulously caring for is mine from now on," the young Taoist priest in the green robe said casually.

"No"

Wang Yihang had just opened his mouth when Zhuang Buran interrupted him, putting his arm around Zhao Yuzhen's shoulder:

“Come on, let’s go to your courtyard. I’ve recently come up with a few talismans that will allow you to see all the scenery below the mountain without having to go down, and they can also transmit messages over long distances.”

"Really?" Zhao Yuzhen was overjoyed: "Brother, you're not lying to me, are you!"

Whether I lied to you or not depends on how much of your divine reincarnation is true and how much is false.

"If you can learn it, it's real; if you can't, it's fake."

As the two brothers walked further and further away, Wang Yihang noticed:
"Junior Brother Zhen Huan may seem lazy and lazy, but he cares about Junior Brother the most."

Lü Suzhen watched the departing figure:
“Yu Zhen was destined to suffer a calamity, so I took her to the mountain when she was young. Zhen Huan stayed at the foot of the mountain until she was three years old before going up the mountain. After that, she would run down the mountain every three to five days to keep her parents company.”

"Not long after they passed away two years ago, they actually brewed millet wine."

"Master, do you mean that what I said is correct, and that Junior Brother Zhen is indeed a person of deep feelings?"

"I am fortunate that he was born at the same time as Yuzhen, otherwise the Dao and the Demon would be unpredictable!"

Lu Suzhen said something out of the blue, leaving Wang Yihang standing there completely bewildered.

Five days later, at the foot of Wangcheng Mountain.

A young Taoist priest in a green robe rode a donkey backwards, then lay down comfortably on its back.

Looking at the donkey that had been seized, Wang Yihang, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but say:
"Junior brother, you must be careful and don't fall."

The young Taoist priest in green robes casually remarked:

"Don't worry, this donkey is exceptionally intelligent and has truly lived up to your careful care. I will take good care of it from now on."

"Junior brother, I never said I was going to give it to you," Wang Yihang said with a forced smile.

Zhuang Buran smiled

"Then call it now and see if it answers you."

"Little Black!" Wang Yixing suddenly called out.

However, the donkey beneath the young Taoist priest in the green robe, with its rather lively eyes, didn't even glance at Wang Yihang.

"Mao Mao, let's go."

After Zhuang Buran finished speaking listlessly, the donkey responded with "uh-huh" and immediately started trotting.

Wang Yi stood frozen in place, as if struck by lightning, unable to believe that his carefully tended donkey had been abducted in the blink of an eye.

Immediately, he had no choice but to ride the donkey he had borrowed and quickly chase after them.

Three days later.

"Junior brother, aren't you curious about where I'm taking you on this journey?"

"You're not taking me to my death, so what's there to be curious about?"

Wang Yihang was speechless for a moment, but finally couldn't help but say:

"This time we are going to the second-best sword-making workshop in the world, the Famous Sword Manor, which houses 2,300 swords and produces countless famous swords."

"Oh, really?" The young Taoist priest in the green robe lay on the donkey and replied perfunctorily.
"Wow, that's amazing! Why don't you go to the number one ranked Sword Heart Tomb? They forged two swords that are among the top ten swords of our time."

Even though Wang Yihang sensed someone's perfunctory attitude, he didn't care much; he just wanted to find someone to chat with.

"My junior brother hoped to eat peaches even in winter, so I inquired about the Nine-Nine Profound Sun Sword left behind by the Kunlun Sword Immortal. After it was broken, it ended up in the Famous Sword Manor."

"This time, the Sword Master Manor will bring out this reforged sword that embodies the deepest human emotions and warmth at its triennial sword-testing competition."

"I see. With this warm sword, eating peaches in winter will be a piece of cake for him." The young Taoist priest in the green robe changed the subject:
"Senior brother, I've never been interested in swords. You wouldn't happen to be thinking of giving me a sword, would you?"

“Well, didn’t I already give you my donkey?” Wang Yihang said.

"It came with me voluntarily, so how can it be considered a gift?" the young Taoist priest in green robes asked with his eyes half-closed.

"Actually, I originally planned to give you the renowned 'The Classic of Wine,' but unfortunately I haven't been able to find out more about it."

Before Wang Yixing could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the young Taoist priest in green robes:

"My brewing techniques are derived from heaven and earth; I have no interest in this so-called 'Wine Classic'."
