Chapter 1 The Beginning

　　On Mount Longhu, in front of the Tianshi Mansion.

　　An old man and a young man stood there dumbfounded.

　　Each held a bare sword hilt. You could almost hear the wind blowing fallen leaves, and crows cawing as they flew across the sky. Wei Yuan's mouth twitched. He lowered his head stiffly, glanced at the shattered Male and Female Dragon-Tiger Demon-Slaying Swords after their spiritual energy had been drained, and then looked at the bewildered old Taoist priest. His scalp tingled.

　　During the fight with Taotie, these two swords had been knocked away.

　　Then that Taotie fellow used his innate divine ability to swallow the heavens and devour the earth.

　　Even the Xing Tian Axe had been swallowed halfway.

　　If he hadn't used the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning to strike him, that guy might not have been willing to spit out the Xing Tian Axe.

　　What about these two swords, which were just imitations in the first place?

　　But it was alright, the real Male and Female Dragon-Tiger Swords had been taken away by Wei Yuan during the Ming Dynasty and placed in the Crouching Tiger Token. They were still lying down obediently inside. Wei Yuan looked at the old Taoist priest in front of him, who seemed to be emitting black gas, and comforted him:

　　"...Daoist Zhang, don't worry, your swords are actually fake. I'll compensate you with the real ones."

　　The black gas around Zhang Ruosu became even more intense: "Fake?"

　　The old Taoist's face twitched, and he said in a flat tone:

　　"If they were the real Male and Female Dragon-Tiger Swords, they definitely wouldn't have been broken by you."

　　"Because they were broken by you, they must be fake."

　　"Just like the Hetu Luoshu, right?"

　　"The Wei family's ancestral appraisal technique?"

　　"You used it on my Dragon-Tiger Swords?!"

　　The old Taoist priest rustled, pulled out a large seal from his sleeve, held it in his hand, and said with a grim smile, "I think your skull looks fake too. How about I, this old Taoist, test its purity?"

　　Wei Yuan: "…………"

　　………………

　　"Ah, what a calm and peaceful, beautiful and harmonious day."

　　A young Taoist priest swept away the fallen leaves, quietly watching the magnificent and exquisite scenery of Mount Longhu. The increasingly dense spiritual energy occasionally transformed into ribbon-like streamers, surrounding the mountain, making it look even more beautiful, a sight that could not be seen in the past.

　　Like the last time, when the old Heavenly Master jumped out of the window to escape.

　　It was just a dream after all…

　　The young Taoist priest smiled and took a deep breath.

　　Then, with a whoosh, a figure instantly swept past. The young Taoist priest's hair was blown open by the gust of wind, instantly turning into disheveled hair. The fallen leaves scattered like they had been hit by an air cannon, and the next second, the two figures that had just swept past returned, instantly cleaning up all the fallen leaves.

　　They also tidied up the young Taoist priest's hair, but the Taoist hairpin was replaced with a tree branch.

　　Then they continued chasing.

　　The human eye's capture speed is 24 frames per second.

　　After cultivation, overall quality will become stronger.

　　But even the young Taoists of Mount Longhu who had completed the basic foundation building were completely unable to capture the two figures. They could only occasionally see a residual image.

　　The war god of the human world ran wildly, his eyelids twitching like he was being chased by a thousand wild boars.

　　"Daoist Zhang, calm down!"

　　The old Taoist priest behind him grinned, holding the Daoist treasure, the Yangping Zhidugong Seal, in his hand.

　　Stride forward.

　　"Stop!"

　　"You damn artifact restorer, stop for me!!!"

　　The young Taoist priest was silent.

　　Then he adjusted his Taoist hairpin.

　　He turned in a direction, a calm and peaceful smile appearing on his face.

　　"Ah, a sunny day with a gentle breeze, a beautiful and harmonious day."

　　……………………

　　A moment later, at the back of Mount Longhu, the two people chasing and fleeing finally calmed down a little. Of course, it was mainly because they had to stop due to other reasons. After the Taotie incident, Wei Ming Sect had temporarily placed Xiao Yu'er and Lin Ling'er at Mount Longhu.

　　In fact, Wei Ming Sect was originally a branch of Mount Longhu.

　　Elite disciples of the sect would come here for further study.

　　However, when sending Zhang Xiaoyu over, the enforcement elder, who disliked her the most and was the most upright and serious, pulled her aside. When the fellow disciples were worried that Xiao Yu'er would be bullied, the enforcement elder sent the little fellow out, with big and small bags all over her body, all filled with pockets, containing everything from wet wipes to candies, from protective talismans to portable magical artifacts, packed like a small dumpling.

　　Facing the strange gazes of the crowd, the enforcement elder did not change his expression: "You are going there in the name of the Wei Ming Sect, you cannot disgrace our sect's reputation, prepare more, this is all as it should be. If someone bullies you, you call me, remember?!"

　　"Have you set my number as an emergency dial?"

　　"If you don't eat well over there, send a message."

　　"It's okay if you want to come back and play, remember that?"

　　"If any young Taoists approach you, smash their heads with the magic seal, remember that?"

　　"There's..."

　　"And..."

　　In short, there are now two little dumplings on Mount Longhu.

　　Wei, the Great Qin Halberd-Bearer, Deputy Heavenly Master of the Taiping Dao, the First Sword Saint of the Great Tang, the War God of the Human Race, Yuan, was now pressing his hands on Xiao Yu'er's shoulders, hiding behind the little fellow, in front of him was the old Heavenly Master, also panting, holding the Yangping Zhidugong Seal in his hand, wishing he could smash it on the forehead of this bastard in front of him.

　　"You, you have the guts to come out! What's it like hiding behind a little fellow?!"

　　"You have the guts to come over!"

　　When Zhang Ruosu moved closer, Wei Yuan changed direction.

　　Rotating like this.

　　Just like the game of Eagle Catches Chickens.

　　The old Taoist priest was furious: "The Curator Wei of the past was not this kind of person."

　　Wei Yuan: "We're all familiar now, why would I put on a straight face with you?"

　　Zhang Ruosu gritted his teeth: "You're shameless!"

　　Wei Yuan showed his white teeth: "My teeth are very strong. I have teeth (shame)."

　　"You're the one who's toothless."

　　Lin Shouyi, an elder of the Shangqing Sect, said helplessly, "You're all elders, none of you have any sense of propriety, it's a joke to others. Can't you talk things over properly?"

　　"Maintain composure in the face of important events."

　　"Come, have a cup of tea."

　　Zhang Ruosu gritted his teeth: "He broke the Male and Female Dragon-Tiger Swords."

　　"It's just two swords, right?"

　　"Is it necessary to..."

　　Lin Shouyi's smile froze: "…………Huh?!"

　　"What sword?!"

　　The teacup in his hand shattered with a crack.

　　A moment later…

　　Damn it!

　　Curator Wei ran away for his life.

　　Behind him, two old Taoist priests were chasing after him with grim smiles.

　　One was holding the Dragon-Tiger Heavenly Master Yangping Zhidugong Seal in his hand.

　　The other was carrying the Shangqing Feixuan Three Qi Jade Chapter Seal.

　　"You cook, stop for me!"

　　"When did this kid become so good at running? Where did he train?"

　　"Hehe, Curator Wei, stop, let's have a good talk!"

　　"This old Taoist is from the Shangqing Sect, not some wild Maoshan sect."

　　"I won't refine your corpse into a zombie."

　　"Don't be nervous."

　　The corner of Wei Yuan's mouth twitched.

　　I believe you ghosts.

　　You two old Taoist priests are very bad.

　　He exerted all his strength and ran wildly.

　　And Ah Xuan behind him helplessly looked at his elders. Finally, he looked at the dumbfounded Lin Ling'er and Zhang Xiaoyu, thought for a moment, and still said politely: "Junior Sister Zhang, Junior Sister Lin, why don't you go to the inner room and sit for a while?"

　　The handsome young Taoist priest scratched his head, a little shy:

　　"It's cold in winter."

　　"I just made some soup to warm you up."

　　"The persimmon cakes made from the persimmons I picked up a few days ago are also ready. They were all naturally ripe and fell on the ground. Ah, don't worry, I've cleaned them. These are the best ripe ones. They don't look very good, but they taste very sweet."

　　The young Taoist priest looked at the three people running wildly over there and said helplessly:

　　"They probably won't stop for a while."

　　So, when Feng Siyu came back leisurely.

　　She found that there were two more little dumplings.

　　"??!"

　　The Yu Clan girl was dumbfounded.

　　When did she become familiar with the two little fellows?

　　Wait, Ah Xuan seems to be not much older than them?

　　The young Taoist priest picked up a bowl of snow pear and white fungus soup, handed it over, and said naturally:

　　"Miss Feng, this is for you."

　　"I put more lotus seeds in it, you should like it."

　　"Where is Girl Nuba? I saved a portion for her too..."

　　In a hidden place, the Three-Legged Golden Crow Great Sun Essence Zhao Gongming's forehead twitched.

　　This kind of behavior style...

　　This kind of natural concern.

　　No, no way.

　　Two delicate and lovely eleven or twelve-year-old girls held soup, the Yu Clan girl sat cross-legged in the air, the handsome young Taoist priest fanned the stove with a cattail leaf fan, and the Heavenly Maiden with clear and warm eyebrows and crimson hair tips had a peaceful smile on her face.

　　Zhao Gongming's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

　　He forcibly saw a hint of danger in this gentle and harmonious scene. The young Taoist priest noticed this Dharma Protector God General, his expression surprised, and then naturally took out a plate of fruit and said, "Senior Uncle Zhao, would you like to eat some?"

　　"It's cold in winter. These are pine nuts I picked up in the North Mountain in autumn."

　　"They taste very good. You said last year that you liked the autumn pine forest like waves, so I prepared some for you this year..."

　　Zhao Gongming's mind flashed back to the evaluation of those two people by the Great Wilderness and Kunlun.

　　If you talk about the best personality in the entire Age of Gods, one of them is Gengchen.

　　Heavenly God Gengchen, of generous and gentle nature.

　　Loving all living beings, he was born because of the wishes and requests of all living beings.

　　If there is a request, there must be a response.

　　Therefore, it is said—

　　Ying Long.

　　………………

　　On the other side.

　　Wei Yuan, who had been tempered by the ancient five-person team, successfully exhausted the two old Taoist priests on Mount Longhu, so much so that they no longer had the strength to be angry. Wei Yuan separated by about seven hundred steps, supported a stone next to him, and shouted in the distance: "Not fighting anymore?!"

　　Zhang Ruosu gasped for breath: "No, no more fighting."

　　"Really not fighting anymore?!"

　　"Really not fighting anymore."

　　"Then write a letter of guarantee!"

　　"Tsk!"

　　In fact, the old Taoist priest would not fight to the death with Wei Yuan because of the Male and Female Dragon-Tiger Demon-Slaying Swords, but he couldn't swallow this bad breath. In the end, he had no choice but to sign a contract. Wei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, I'll compensate, I'll compensate..."

　　Old Taoist Zhang was exasperated:

　　"This is the treasure of my Tianshi Mansion, the direct lineage of Mount Longhu, what are you going to compensate with?!"

　　Wei Yuan pondered, tentatively saying: "Then... add money?"

　　"??!"

　　The old Taoist priest was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves, almost offering the Dragon-Tiger Heavenly Master Seal again.

　　Wei retreated and ran.

　　……………………

　　Museum.

　　After figuring out the original cause of her emotions.

　　The Heavenly Maiden Jue waited a little longer until the Mountain Gods and Water Gods finally discussed and made a decision. Only then did she return to the museum. As for Bai Suzhen, Zhang Hao and others, they did not go to the museum together, but just sat in the flower shop for a while.

　　The Lord of Mount Chongwu said slowly: "We have not come to the human world with the intention of playing around."

　　"But to truly come here to explore something. This matter is related to the survival and dignity of Kunlun, and its leaders and adversaries are the contemporary Kunlun Lords of the human world... As for why, please watch the jade slip recording."

　　The Heavenly Maiden Jue nodded.

　　The old Mountain Lord took out a treasured jade slip recording, a deluxe ultra-clear version.

　　The maiden saw with her own eyes everything that the white-haired swordsman had done.

　　At first glance, she felt faintly familiar.

　　When she saw him imprisoning the Queen Mother of the West, her expression became slightly solemn and calm.

　　Her spine straightened slightly, and her expression was serious and awe-inspiring.

　　Seeing the swordsman bringing out the food box, seeing him saying he missed the long wind.

　　And seeing him finally using Kunlun as a sword, seeing his profile.

　　The Heavenly Maiden deeply watched the white-haired swordsman.

　　It just so happened that not long after watching this jade slip recording, Wei Yuan returned to the museum, worried, because after his strength gradually improved, he had thrown the Crouching Tiger Token to the back of his mind and directly into the cold palace.

　　Now he had to flip through the Crouching Tiger Token's inventory, which felt a little strange.

　　Pushing open the door, he saw the serious situation of the Mountain God gathering.

　　Especially the Mountain God Qianlai, his face was as pale as gold, a bit like he had eaten all the套餐(tàocān, combo meal) of a certain restaurant in one go, and turned into a projectile fighter sitting on the toilet for a day and a night, his whole god was weak. And Jue's expression was solemn and serious, reaching out and holding the old Mountain Lord's ultra-clear version jade slip recording bead in her hand.

　　Standing up, her sleeves rose and fell back like clouds.

　　"Yuan, come with me."

　　She said, "I have something to tell you."

　　Wei Yuan was stunned, looking at the serious Mountain Gods.

　　Suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind.

　　Has the matter been exposed?

　　ps: Today's first update... three thousand six hundred words.

　　Because of the sudden unexpected event of wind and rain, today's second update may be late.

　　Or it may be early? Pondering...
