When you encounter a weasel on the road asking for a title, appoint it as the Jade Emperor.

Zhang Chuyu wasn't too surprised.

After all, he had already witnessed the evil spirits on Zhou Nan.

Going abroad to escape is a temporary solution, but it is indeed one option.

"Then why did you suddenly come back? Did Uncle Zhou get into trouble again?"

Zhou Nan nodded.

"Yes, although he kept it from me, I still sensed it. If he drags this out any longer, he might really be in big trouble."

"Under my persistent questioning, he finally admitted that he was actually doomed the last time, but... he survived thanks to a talisman left by my grandfather when he was young!"

"But as you know, he has a bad relationship with my grandfather. My grandfather has never liked him, so I ran back. No matter what, he is my father. I can't just watch him die. I'm going to try to contact the old man."

"But I've also heard that since Master Zhang left, the old man has disappeared without a trace."

He left behind a talisman and managed to hold on for over a month?

That's quite an achievement!

Zhang Chuyu smacked her lips.

Recalling what Old Zhou looked like, in Zhang Chuyu's eyes he used to be just an ordinary old man.

He has a good relationship with his master.

Although he was only an outer disciple of Longhu Mountain at that time, they were still fellow disciples.

We often play chess and chat together when we have free time.

Upon closer inspection... even Old Man Zhou knows a few tricks up his sleeve, it would be strange if their own master knew nothing.

The old man... he kept it a secret very well.

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll go with you tomorrow."

Zhang Chuyu didn't see Zhou Nan's father, Zhou Hansheng, very often.

However, I had a very good impression of it.

Just as Zhou Nan said.

The old man of the Zhou family disliked his son very much.

I heard it's because when we asked this kid to go to Longhu Mountain to cultivate Taoism, he refused.

Grandpa Zhou kicked him out of the house and forbade him from returning.

Even after Zhou Nan came along.

The old man doted on Zhou Nan, but he still disliked Zhou Hansheng very much.

On the few occasions Zhou Hansheng visited, Old Master Zhou never gave him a friendly look.

However, Zhou Hansheng was quite generous to Zhang Chuyu.

The first time we met, I gave him a card with a million dollars and told him to spend it as he pleased.

Zhang Chuyu was incredibly excited at the time.

Then... the card was confiscated by his own cheap master.

To this day, no one knows where the money went.

Just thinking about Zhang Chuyu makes my teeth itch with hatred!

Putting aside Zhou Nan's relationship, Zhang Chuyu would have made a move just for that one million yuan back then.

"Great!" Zhou Nan exclaimed excitedly, slapping his thigh.

"I almost forgot, Chu Yu, you know Taoist magic now too! School starts in a couple of days, so once we've dealt with this, we absolutely have to squeeze some money out of Lao Deng! We're going to splurge on college!"

.....

The next day.

Zhang Chuyu was unusually relaxed.

When he woke up from his meditation, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning.

Sunlight streamed in through the window.

The Celestial Master's Mansion remained as peaceful and serene as ever.

He stretched.

After a quick wash, I prepared to find something to eat.

Before even reaching the main hall of the ancestral master, I heard a deep, resonant voice.

"Mom's marksmanship is amazing! She shoots so accurately!"

"One against five, Mom's awesome!"

"Want to add me on WeChat? Let's play games together next time! I'm a pro at calling everyone 'Mommy's Awesome'!"

Zhang Chuyu: "??????"

What kind of creature dares to bark like a dog in front of my Celestial Master's Mansion?

He looked up.

I saw a furtive figure squatting in the corner, holding a phone and doing something I didn't know.

Zhang Chuyu jogged up and kicked the figure, knocking it over.

"Whoever you are, get my brother off you right now."

Zhou Nan covered her head, crying, "Don't hit me, it's me!"

Zhang Chuyu sneered and continued kicking: "That's wicked, and you're quite the actor."

I kicked him for a few minutes.

Zhang Chuyu felt refreshed and invigorated.

Zhou Nan, who was standing nearby, also got up, dusted himself off, and was perfectly fine.

He also casually took out two sweet potatoes from the side and handed one to Zhang Chuyu.

"Here, Chu Yu, it's freshly baked, have a taste."

Zhang Chuyu didn't stand on ceremony and started cultivating the sweet potato after peeling off the skin.

"Let's go down the mountain together later to see Uncle Wu and ask him to offer incense to the Ancestral Temple while I'm away, then we can set off."

This was a plan that Zhang Chuyu had made beforehand.

Master is no longer on the mountain.

He also needed to go down the mountain to study in the provincial capital, so naturally someone in the mountains would need to come and offer incense to the ancestor from time to time.

of course.

This kind of work is something that the people who have lived at the foot of Longhu Mountain for generations would love to do.

No one would refuse to be able to offer incense to the Celestial Master's Mansion even when the Celestial Master is not around.

"Okay, it's been a long time since I've had a free meal at Uncle Wu's. I'll make a call first and ask Uncle Wu to slaughter a chicken and a cow for us!"

Zhou Nan didn't hold back at all, and took out a three-fold coin and threw it at him.

His familiarity with Wu Quan was even greater than that with Zhang Chuyu.

Because his grandfather used to live next door to the Wu family.

The two families have always had a good relationship.

I've finished the call.

Zhang Chuyu and the other person strolled down the mountain.

They pulled two boxes of tables and a few pieces of Nan Sheng (a type of rice noodle) out of Fatty Zhou's car.

They headed towards Wu Quan's house.

In front of a three-story building.

Wu Quan and a woman of similar age were already waiting.

Upon seeing Zhang Chuyu and Zhou Nan, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

He bowed to Zhang Chuyu and said, "Celestial Master."

Zhang Chuyu waved her hand, signaling the couple to get up.

Wu Quan then patted Zhou Nan on the shoulder and jokingly scolded him.

"You little fatty, it's been so long since you've come back to see your Uncle Wu. I thought you'd forgotten about your uncle."

Zhou Nan grinned: "What are you saying, Uncle Wu? This is a special case. You know, my old man has disappeared somewhere. I was sent abroad by my father not long after I finished the college entrance examination. I just came back to see you."

"Come in quickly," Uncle Wu beckoned the two inside.

Wu Ya left.

Only the elderly couple remained in the house.

Zhou Nan brought in all the good wine and cigarettes for free.

Wu Quan still wanted to stop it.

Zhang Chuyu shook her head and laughed, "Uncle Wu, you know exactly what kind of family this fatso is made of, why be polite with him!"

Upon hearing this...

Wu Quan then remained silent.

A lunch.

We ate until after 2 p.m.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely.

Only then did Wu Quan turn to Zhang Chuyu and ask, "Master, are you going down the mountain?"

Zhang Chuyu nodded and did not hide anything: "Indeed, Uncle Wu, you also know the situation in the mountains. Although I have inherited the position of Celestial Master, I have never left the Celestial Master's Mansion. Moreover, in this world, demons and monsters run rampant, and evil spirits are born in people's hearts. This time, I am going down the mountain to act on behalf of Heaven and fulfill my Taoist duties."

This was indeed Zhang Chuyu's true thought.

Given the system's unique nature, he was destined not to stay in the mountains forever.

Slaying demons and monsters, upholding justice, retiring in times of prosperity, and descending the mountain in times of chaos.

This is also the responsibility of the Celestial Masters of all generations.
