White tea legend

Chapter 268: Differences between Immortals and Demons
On a bustling street corner in Chang'an City, the once bustling "Gu Yulin" tea shop finally closed its heavy wooden door following the decision of Miss Yao Si and Zhuo Lao San.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Yao Si Niangzi, Zhuo Lao San, Zhang Shi, and nephews and nieces sat in the courtyard of the Yao Mansion, with a sumptuous farewell meal on the table. The air was filled with an indescribable atmosphere of sadness and hope.

The changes of Yao Ziling and Yao Ziyuan undoubtedly gave them the courage and confidence to start over. The once unworthy descendants have now turned over a new leaf, and the bad habit of gambling has been abandoned by them, which makes Yao Si Niangzi and Zhuo Lao San, who are about to leave, feel relieved.

"There are markets overseas waiting for us for Changxi County's white tea."

Zhuo Laosan looked into the distance, his voice firm and full of expectation. This was what Zhou Lang told him.

After spending many years in Chang'an and seeing the world with Miss Yao Si, Zhuo Laosan is no longer the simple boy from Tianzhu Village, but a mature businessman.

Although Zhuo Laosan was reluctant to leave the life in Chang'an City, he missed his hometown more.

How are my parents, my brother and sister-in-law, my hometown...

The disappearance of the master and his wife made Zhuo Laosan and Yao Siniang worried, but they knew that life must go on.

The master and his wife left Lu Yuming behind. They had to go to Changxi to raise the child into an adult, who would become the new inheritor of Changxi white tea.

Madam Yao Si and Zhuo Lao San looked at each other, their eyes full of expectations for the future.

They believed that as long as they had love and responsibility in their hearts, Changxi white tea would be able to revive again, Lu Yuming would be able to grow up safely, and Master and his wife would be able to return safely.

After the farewell banquet, Miss Yao Si and Zhuo Lao San, with deep concern and full of hope, asked several nephews and nieces to take good care of Zhang, and then followed Zhou Lang back to Changxi County.

There are picturesque scenery, rows of tea trees in the white tea garden, and the emerald green tea leaves sparkling in the sunlight, as if telling them of their unchanging promise.

Lu Yuming grew faster than other children. When Zhou Lang, Zhuo Laosan and Yao Siniang returned to Changxi, the child had grown into a little boy, but in fact he was less than three years old.

The master's wife was not an ordinary person, so her child was naturally a child prodigy.

Madam Yao Si touched Lu Yuming's cheek and judged secretly in her heart.

"Senior brothers and sisters, didn't my father and mother come back with you?" Lu Yuming asked.

"Master and his wife asked you to grow and make tea well. When you mastered the art of making Changxi white tea, they came back."

Zhou Lang could only deceive Lu Yuming in this way.

Lu Yuming didn't cry or make a fuss. He nodded quietly and went to the tea room to get busy.

……

Fountain of the soul.

The white tea tree was soaked in spring water, and the evil spirits turned into black smoke, which continuously emanated from the branches and leaves of the white tea tree, interweaving with the pure white tea fragrance, engaging in a silent contest.

Lu Yu stood by the fountain of the soul, resisting the invasion of the evil spirits together with the white tea tree. He watched the black mist transformed by the evil spirits continue to spread...

Lu Yu was in an extremely heavy mood.

I don’t know how long this will last before the evil spirit completely disappears from Bai Cha’s body.

When Lu Yu leaned over and looked into the spring water, he was shocked to see an old man with white hair and beard. This shocked him - he had not realized that he had become so old without realizing it.

Lu Yu touched his white hair and beard, and an inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart. He didn't know how long he had been waiting by this spiritual fountain, nor did he know how long he could hold on.

"Do you think you are still the ancient god of medicine? You are not! You are a mortal. You can't stay with her for long. You can't hold on for long. You will grow old and die soon. Don't resist. Bai Cha belongs to me..."

The laughter of evil spirits could be heard all around.

Lu Yu became anxious.

On the side, Taoist Qingyun noticed something strange about Lu Yu and hurriedly wrote a talisman and pasted it on his forehead.

Lu Yu came back to his senses and looked at the spring water again. It was still the black-haired mortal.

He hasn't aged yet.

The evil spirit was so powerful that it even bewitched him. No wonder Bai Cha couldn't control him.

"Rui Yu, come at me if you dare, let Bai Cha go!"

Lu Yu shouted towards the black smoke.

The evil spirit laughed loudly: "Rui Yu? Who is Rui Yu? He is just my carrier. Rui Yu died a long time ago, and his body cannot bear my noble soul. How can he, an evil god, compare with the pure and beautiful plant body of Fairy Bai Cha..."

The evil spirit's laughter grew louder and more distorted.

The branches and leaves of the white tea tree twisted in pain and withered rapidly without making any sound.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Yu wanted to rush into the spiritual world, but was stopped by Taoist Qingyun.

"Mr. Lu, calm down. You are just a mortal. Now this spiritual spring has been occupied by evil spirits. If you jump in, you will die."

"Master, you said that as long as we find the spring of the soul, we can cure my wife. Why has it been so long and my wife still can't get rid of the evil spirit? Instead of freezing in this cold spring water with no end, it is better to go back to the demon world. My wife can still move freely, stop the evil deeds of the demon world and lead them to good."

"That's right." The evil spirit echoed Lu Yu's words, "Mr. Lu, you are right to think so. Take Bai Cha to the devil world and the demon world. In any case, it is a hundred times, a thousand times, and ten thousand times better than staying in this damn spring water..."

After hearing this, Lu Yu was about to go to the spring to pick up the white tea tree, but Taoist Qingyun stopped him, "Can't you hear it? This is a trap, a trap set by the evil spirit to trick you. Among the six realms, only this spiritual spring can cure him, trap him, and contain him. Once he leaves this spiritual spring, he will dominate the White Tea Fairy again. Can you bear to let the White Tea Fairy be trapped in the demon and monster realms for the rest of her life, unable to see the light of day?"

Lu Yu was startled.

"Will she be able to see the light of day in heaven? Don't forget, you were expelled from the immortal register by the Heavenly Sovereign and sentenced to reincarnation, while she was an escaped immortal who jumped off the Immortal Execution Platform. She married a mortal secretly and stole tea seeds that belonged to heaven and planted them on earth. Any one of these is enough to make her a sinful immortal. She has violated the heavenly rules. If she returns to heaven, she will be punished by heaven. It is better for her to go to the demon world or the devil world..."

The evil spirit's words echoed in his ears again and again. Lu Yu knelt on the ground, pulling his hair frantically.

"You can't make the choice, so I'll make it for you."

A voice suddenly came through the waterfall.

Before Lu Yu could react, and even Taoist Qingyun hadn't reacted yet, the sound was already close to the spring.

A magical power was waved towards the water, and the white tea tree was uprooted. Black smoke instantly penetrated into the body of the white tea... Lu Yu and Taoist Qingyun both saw it clearly.

The man in purple robe is the Purple Bamboo Demon Lord.

The person in his arms was the White Tea Fairy in black, and the evil spirit once again entered the White Tea Fairy's body.

"Lu Yu, I'm taking Bai Cha back to the Demon Realm. See you later."

The voice of Purple Bamboo Demon Lord was cold and resolute. His eyes swept across the faces of Lu Yu and Taoist Qingyun, as if mocking their helplessness.

Lu Yu was struck by lightning. His body froze in place, his eyes fixed on Fairy Baicha in the arms of Purple Bamboo Demon Lord. His heart felt like it was being cut by a sharp blade, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe. His hand unconsciously reached out to Fairy Baicha, but he could only grab a piece of air.

Taoist Qingyun was furious. He shouted, "Demon Lord Zizhu, how could you do such a thing? You are courting death!"

Purple Bamboo Demon Lord just sneered, and his figure flashed, then he turned into a purple light and flew away. His speed was so fast that he disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Lu Yu and Taoist Qingyun looked at each other.

If you chase him, you will definitely not be able to catch up.

How could a mortal like him chase after a demon king?
……

"Master, that's great. You've returned to the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm is saved."

The devil knelt before the fairy in black and kowtowed heavily.

Indeed, with the return of Fairy White Tea, the harsh environment in the demon world has improved.

Tears flashed in the eyes of the demon king, and his voice trembled with excitement. Fairy Baicha stood quietly in the hall, her figure was like the brightest star in the night sky, bringing long-lost light to the demon world.

"I'm not your master, I'm just Bai Cha." Her voice was calm and deep, like the surface of the spring of the soul, clear and peaceful.

The demon king raised his head, his eyes filled with awe and hope. "Fairy Baicha, it is you who purified the chaotic energy of the demon world. Your return means the beginning of peace and order."

Fairy Baicha was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "I am willing to stay here and help the demon world find balance, but I hope the demon world can coexist peacefully with the human world and other realms, especially the demon world."

The demon king stood in awe: "Master's wish is the order of the demon world."

At the same time, Lu Yu and Taoist Qingyun went through many difficulties and finally arrived at the Demon Realm. They stopped in a desolate area, and in front of them was a dilapidated Demon Palace, which was completely different from the prosperous scene in the Demon Realm.

"Master, please take me into the demon world." Lu Yu begged Taoist Qingyun.

Taoist Qingyun was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, let's go into the demon world together and look for Fairy Baicha."

However, the process of entering the demon world was not easy. Taoist Qingyun drew talismans on the ground several times, but each time ended in failure. His face became solemn, and it was obvious that this was much more difficult than he expected.

"What is going on?" Lu Yu asked anxiously.

Taoist Qingyun took a deep breath and explained: "The portal to the demon world is blocked by a powerful force. To open it, you need extremely powerful magic and precise spells. Mr. Lu, can you use your ancient god's memory to give me some talismans..."

Lu Yu used the memory of the ancient gods to draw talismans, and Taoist Qingyun used his magic power to drive these talismans, and finally led Lu Yu successfully through the barrier of the demon world.

When Lu Yu and Taoist Qingyun passed through the enchantment of the demon world, they were surprised by the scene before them. They originally thought that they would enter a world full of darkness and shadows, but the demon world before them was completely different from what they imagined.

The sun shines through the clouds and falls on the land of the demon world, illuminating a vibrant scene. Colorful flowers sway in the breeze, and all kinds of strange plants grow luxuriantly, forming a colorful plant world.

"This... is this the demon world?" Lu Yu asked in surprise, his eyes deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery.

Taoist Qingyun was also shocked. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It seems that our previous understanding of the demon world was too one-sided. Even in the demon world, the power of nature cannot be ignored."

They explored the demon world and found that the creatures here were significantly different from those in the human world. Although some of the monsters looked ferocious, they did not attack them when they carefully avoided them. Obviously, the creatures in the demon world also have their own survival rules, and not all monsters are possessed by evil spirits.

During the in-depth exploration, they met an elder of the demon world. The elder revealed that the demon world was indeed a place full of darkness and chaos, but since the return of the White Tea Fairy, her power began to purify the land, making the demon world gradually regain its vitality.

Sure enough, Baicha fell into the state of "everyone is drunk but I am sober" again.

When she is surrounded by justice, she appears as an evil spirit.

When there is only evil around her, she is righteous and kind...

"You see, letting her stay here will be better for her and the demon world." The Purple Bamboo Demon Lord suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yu and Taoist Qingyun.

"Demon Lord, hand over Fairy Baicha."

Taoist Qingyun pointed his whisk at the Purple Bamboo Demon Lord and shouted.

"You must be able to command me."

The Purple Bamboo Demon Lord stood at the entrance of the Demon Palace, wearing a black robe, with an ominous light flashing in his eyes. His voice was low and powerful, full of challenge: "Taoist Qingyun, you dare to invade the territory of my demon world. Today, I will make sure you never return!"

Taoist Qingyun had a calm expression, holding a yellow talisman in his hand. He responded with a firm look: "Demon Lord Zizhu, I am not here to fight with you. I just want to find Fairy Baicha and complete my mission."

The Purple Bamboo Demon Lord roared and formed seals with his hands. In an instant, the air around him became heavy, and dark energy began to gather around him. His voice echoed in the Demon Palace like thunder: "Then let me see how powerful you are!"

Taoist Qingyun quickly threw the talisman paper into the air, muttering something, and quickly moved his hands across the air, drawing complex talismans.

The Purple Bamboo Demon Lord launched an attack, and the dark energy turned into sharp arrows, shooting straight at the Taoist Qingyun. However, the talismans around the Taoist Qingyun formed a protective shield, blocking these attacks one by one.

The battle between the two triggered a strange change between heaven and earth. There was a strong wind and thunder and lightning in the Demon Palace. The Purple Bamboo Demon Lord became more and more courageous, and the power of magic continued to surge, trying to suppress the Qingyun Taoist. However, the Qingyun Taoist relied on his profound magic power and spells to cleverly resolve the attack of the Purple Bamboo Demon Lord.

The battle lasted for a long time, with both sides fighting back and forth and evenly matched.

While the two were fighting, Lu Yu headed towards the depths of the demon world...

"Madam! Madam!"

Lu Yu was not confused, he was not misled by Zizhu Demon Lord's words, Baicha was a deity, how could a deity stay in the demon world? It is said that there is a difference between the immortal and the demon.

"There is a difference between immortals and demons, and between humans and immortals. Fairy Baicha cannot stay in the demon world, so can she stay in the human world?"

"Who, who are you?"

Lu Yu looked forward, and the figure of the devil appeared in front of him.
