Chapter 6 Yuxu Temple
"I have traveled a thousand miles with my sword, and I dare to speak a word..."
Duan Yu was pleasantly surprised when he heard the voice: "Fourth Brother Zhu? It's Fourth Brother Zhu who's here!"
A middle-aged man who looked quite elegant and easy-going came out with a helpless look on his face: "My lord, you made it so hard for us to find you!"
So Duan Yu actually ran away from home this time...
The person before him is none other than the "Reader" of the four great ministers of the Duan family, "Fisherman, Woodcutter, Farmer, and Reader", and he is also Zhu Laosi and Zhu Danchen, who are good at using the judge's pen.
Chu Lu Ren thought about it carefully and muttered quietly: "There is also a setting poem? It seems to be very eye-catching... How about I recite a few lines when I appear on stage next time?" Then he turned his head and looked at Mu Wanqing: "What do you think of 'Ride the sword and ride the wind to eliminate demons in the world'?"
Mu Wanqing, the only listener on the side, just rolled her eyes at this weirdo.
Duan Yu ignored Zhu Danchen's complaints and went straight up to give him a hug: "Fourth Brother Zhu, I missed you so much!"
What else could Zhu Danchen say? He could only ask, "Master, are these two your friends?"
"That's right! Let me introduce them to you all. This is my father's good brother, Zhu Danchen, Fourth Brother Zhu. This Chu Lu Ren, Brother Chu, is a good brother I met outside. I was harassed by Yue Lao San from Yipintang before, and it was thanks to Brother Chu that I was rescued! This... this is Mu Wanqing, Sister Wan is me..." Duan Yu felt a little embarrassed when he said this.
Chu Luren added in his heart: She’s your sister!
But he didn't say it out loud.
However, Zhu Danchen had been with Duan Zhengchun before, so of course he would not dig into the matter. He just laughed it off and started to greet Chu Luren - he naturally knew Yue Lao San from Yipintang.
Although he was not on the chivalrous list, Yue Lao San was one of the ten evil men at the beginning. Later, he was recruited by the Yipintang of Western Xia and became a guest official. Only then was he barely removed from the title of "Ten Evil Men" at the official level.
However, regardless of his character, in terms of martial arts, he is worthy of his status as the leader of the South China Sea!
Chu Lu Ren looked quite young. After hearing Duan Yu say that he was able to mediate with Yue Lao San, Zhu Danchen naturally took him seriously.
"So you are Brother Zhu Danchen. I've heard that Zhu Danchen, the Judge among the Four Heroes of Dali, is well-versed in ancient and modern knowledge and has the demeanor of a Confucian hero. Today I see that his reputation is well-deserved!" Chu Lu Ren also greeted Zhu Danchen and did not make any comments on his opening poem.
When Zhu Danchen heard Chu Luren's compliments, he immediately felt proud and was in a good mood, praising Chu Luren for a while.
After all, everyone has to support each other... Everyone has to praise each other, just like now, how can I spread the news of my PK with Yue Lao San without making a fuss?
It won't work just by relying on a rookie like Duan Yu and an autistic girl like Mu Wanqing. It will also take an old hand with some influence.
Mu Wanqing whispered "hypocrisy" but was stopped by Duan Yu.
Chu Luren had no chance to become famous in his previous life, but in this life he wants to be a hero - not only to satisfy his own chivalrous sentiments, but also for some vulgar pleasure of wanting everyone to praise him.
After reuniting with Zhu Laosi, the group continued back to Dali. On the way, Chu Lu Ren mentioned that it seemed that more than just Yue Laosan came from Yipintang's "Four Evils". It was "heard" that Lian Yunzhonghe, Ye Erniang, and the always mysterious "Evil Man Ying" were also active in the southwest!
"I don't know whether the news is accurate or not. Anyway, I heard some gossip that the southwest might be in unrest." Chu Lu Ren evaded the question and said it was just a rumor.
But even so, Zhu Danchen seemed very nervous. After discussing with Duan Yu, they decided to take a detour and go to Yuxu Temple.
The name "Yuxu Temple" does not have any special features. It may refer to some particular place. There is a Taoist temple with the same name. The one that Duan Yu and Zhu Danchen went to was quite remote, deep in the mountains. It was obviously just a place for personal cultivation and did not receive pilgrims.
Chu Lu Ren always felt that the "area" of this world seemed to be larger than that of the previous life, and the terrain was also quite different ...
Even the rookie Duan Yu among the four had the basic skills of "Lingbo Weibu" and could move up and down the mountain freely, but it still took him two days to arrive at Yuxu Temple.
Without waiting for Zhu Danchen to come forward, Duan Yu immediately rushed over excitedly, knocked on the door, and shouted, "Mom! Open the door quickly, it's Yu'er who's here to pick you up!"
There was an immediate noise from inside, and a beautiful Taoist nun was seen opening the door and seeing Duan Yu. She also showed a look of delight, touching his hair and shoulders, probably because she felt that her son had grown taller.
Chu Lu Ren could naturally guess that this person should be Duan Yu's biological mother, Dao Baifeng. Although she became Duan Zhengchun's only legal wife in name after a "fight between dragons and tigers", she had constant conflicts with him because of Duan Zhengchun's philandering, and eventually she moved out of the palace in anger. Even... Duan Yu's life experience is a bit... ahem, anyway, it's still a good surname to have Duan.
However, Mu Wanqing, who was standing by, saw the Taoist nun's appearance, but she didn't expect that she was Duan Yu's mother, so she immediately sent out her Shura Darts to greet her...
Dao Baifeng’s martial arts skills were also quite good, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to “carry” Duan Zhengchun away when surrounded by a group of “wolves”. Seeing this, she simply pulled Duan Yu with her to hide, and at the same time, she raised her eyebrows and was ready to take action!
You can still see some of the ruthlessness of his youth ...
However, Duan Yu quickly stood between the two and said, "Wanmei! What are you doing? This is my mother!"
"Your mother?" Mu Wanqing was stunned when she heard that, and then... her face turned red, and she greeted Dao Baifeng embarrassedly.
Although Mu Wanqing was naive and unscheming, she was roughly equivalent to Fahai, who would show his mighty power when seeing a monster. However, this reaction inadvertently praised Dao Baifeng for her "youth". After seeing Mu Wanqing's reaction, Dao Baifeng glanced at her and her son, and did not care about what had just happened.
However, Dao Baifeng had just been kind to Mu Wanqing, but at this moment, she noticed that Mu Wanqing was using the Shura Dart, and her expression immediately changed. She asked sternly, "Who are you to Shura Dao Qin Hongmian?"
Duan Zhengchun's "harem" back then was a veritable Shura field, but for some reason no one used Duan Zhengchun's axe, but instead they would fight to the death with each other almost every time they met.
"Qin Hongmian? I don't know her. Is she a human or a ghost?" Mu Wanqing really didn't know that her master and biological mother was Qin Hongmian. She only knew her alias "Yougu Ke".
This kind of "excuse" naturally could not pass muster with Dao Baifeng. Now she even suspected that Mu Wanqing was sent by Qin Hongmian to avenge her son.
Chu Luren, from a purely casual perspective, also felt a little sympathetic towards Mu Wanqing...
In the original novel, Mu Wanqing's mother has not recognized her since she was a child, and they do not have the normal mother-daughter relationship. She is instilled with a lot of curious values while growing up. Even after meeting Duan Yu and thinking that she can open her heart to him, she immediately "becomes siblings". She even jumps off a cliff to commit suicide because of this. As a result, she is abducted by the four evil men and sent to Wanchou Valley as a tool to ruin Duan Yu's reputation.
Before Dao Baifeng and Mu Wanqing could finish their argument, Chu Luren's ears moved suddenly. He heard some wind noises and shouted, "Who!"
"Hahaha... I, Yun Lao Si, am lucky today! The girl that idiot Yue Lao San didn't let me touch came to my door on her own accord, and she even brought a pretty nun with her. I can just capture her and have fun with her!"
