Chapter 85: Heaven and Man Following, Returning to the Mountain with a Last Wish

When Huang Guishan heard Yu Que's words, he was stunned and couldn't react for a while.

However, he remembered that he had discussed the Tai Sui lineage with Yu Que before. After thinking about it for a while, he understood what this kid Yu Que was thinking about.

Huang Guishan laughed and said, "How can you tell that I am a Tai Sui remnant? How can I be a direct descendant?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Que looked puzzled. For a moment he couldn't tell whether the other party was still testing him or mocking him.

He simply didn't think too much about it and expressed the doubts in his mind:
“Master, you have introduced the Tai Sui lineage to me before and highly praised it.

Now, Master, you also know a lot about the various secrets of the old ghost of the Fu family taking over the body. This is really something that I can't help but think about."

Yu Que lowered his head, waiting for Huang Guishan's answer.

In the quiet room, Huang Guishan pulled his beard and sighed, "So that's how it is."

The other party's eyes fell on Yu Que, his face looked strange, and suddenly said:

"In that case, do you think that the fact that you feel you have a strong affinity with the Tai Sui lineage may have something to do with me, your master?"

Yu Que just bowed and did not answer, but his attitude undoubtedly showed his consent.

To be honest, Yu Que just felt that he and the Tai Sui lineage were too connected.

The first reason was that Huang Guishan recommended him to choose the Tai Sui lineage, the second was that he obtained the Ganoderma lucidum in the deserted village, and the third was that the old ghost of the Fu family was involved in the evil art of possession of other bodies, and he also used the essence, blood, and soul of his own clan to practice.

If only one or two of these things happened, Yu Que could still say it was just a coincidence, but he encountered all three coincidences, so he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Of course, whether it is Master Yin Cangtou or the old ghost of the Fuji family, they must have had their own plans long ago, and they started more than ten years or even decades ago.

Yu Que also knew that forcing the three together was a bit far-fetched and presumptuous.

Therefore, he did not have any opinion about Huang Guishan because of his suspicion.

Just because the two of them were now master and disciple and no longer strangers, he simply made the matter clear and asked for the other party's opinion.

Huang Guishan looked at Yu Que's silent expression, and his smile subsided. After thinking for a while, he muttered:
"Hey, you know what, you really have a connection with the Tai Sui lineage. It would be fine if you didn't say it, but now that you say it, I also feel it's quite a coincidence."

"Then Master, what you mean is..." Yu Que raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the other party in surprise.

Huang Guishan spread his hands and sighed:

"My dear disciple, you think too highly of me. The reason why I suggested you to practice Tai Sui was just based on your background and aptitude."

This man said to Yu Que with a sincere and somewhat awkward expression:

"Now that we have come to this point today, if I don't explain it to you clearly, I am afraid there will be a rift between you and me.

To be honest, I have no selfish motives in suggesting that you choose the Tai Sui lineage, but I do have some selfish motives in accepting you as my disciple."

As he spoke, Huang Guishan looked a little embarrassed.

Yu Que bowed with a serious expression:
"Master, you can just say it. As long as you don't plot against the lives of your disciples and their families, I will always be your disciple."

Huang Guishan quickly waved his hands: "It's over, it's over."

This person coughed a few times and said:
"To be honest, in this world, there are people who are divided into straw men and spirit men. Above straw men are spirit men. Do you know who is above spirit men?"

Yu Que looked slightly surprised.

Huang Guishan said:

“Heavenly man!

The celestial bloodline, also known as the longevity bloodline, or the immortal bloodline, is left by the immortals who have at least cultivated the primordial spirit. The most well-known celestial bloodline in this dynasty is the Jun family lineage of our dynasty's great ancestor.

As for my teacher, I can barely be considered as a descendant of celestial bloodline!"

At this point, Huang Guishan showed an expression of both pride and hesitation. Yu Que was immediately surprised.

He had long guessed that his master might have some background. But he had never expected that Huang Guishan's background was so great that his background could be compared with that of the imperial family of this dynasty!
Huang Guishan looked at Yu Que, pointed at himself and said, "Guess where my surname comes from?"

Yu Que thought about it carefully, and soon his eyelids twitched slightly as he thought of something.

Huang Guishan clapped his hands and said:
"That's right, my surname is Huang, which means "Huangshan". The founder of Huangshan Taoist Temple is my ancestor!
It is said that my ancestors can be traced back to the ancient times, when the Yellow Emperor refined elixirs in this mountain. My clan was once the Xuanyuan clan."

The look Yu Que gave his master suddenly changed.

He couldn't help but gasp:

"Master, your lineage can be traced back to the founding of the Huangshan Taoist Palace, and also to the time when the Yellow Emperor was refining elixirs. Even the Emperor Clan and the Jun Family may not be able to compare with you."

But Huang Guishan himself heard this and immediately coughed lightly with some embarrassment, saying:
“You can remember the first half of the sentence, but you don’t need to remember the second half.

"I suspect that the latter is a far-fetched statement made by my ancestors to flatter themselves. It is possible that my ancestors did not have the surname Huang at all, but changed it later."

These self-deprecating words that were almost "treasonous" made Yu Que look a little strange.

"Okay." Huang Guishan waved his hand and said:

“Master, I will not keep you in suspense any longer. Our lineage is indeed the direct lineage when Huangshan Taoist Palace was founded, but times have changed. As early as the founding of this dynasty, the Huang family was no longer the lineage of the Palace Master.

At present, the Huangshan Taoist Temple is run by the master-disciple lineage and the clan lineage in turn.

Even among the aristocratic clans, the Huang family is not considered that powerful. It is only because of the reputation of being the descendants of the founding father that the family has remained powerful and is among the top nine families on Mount Huang.

But the descendants of the Huang family are all useless, and the entire clan’s status on the mountain is more like a mascot. From time to time, a branch of the clan is forced to split up and have to move out of Huangshan.”

Huang Guishan pointed at himself and said self-deprecatingly:

"As your teacher, I am a typical example of a useless person. My lineage has been passed down from generation to generation until now, and since then, I have been officially kicked out of the Huang family on the mountain. Now I am just a branch of the Huang family in the seventh block at the foot of the mountain."

Yu Que listened and understood why his master felt both proud and inferior when talking about his bloodline and surname.

In the quiet room, Huang Guishan restrained his self-deprecating expression, gritted his teeth, and said to Yu Que:

"Since I was kicked down from the Huang family on the mountain, I gave up the Huang family's generation name and named myself 'Return to the Mountain'. I won't marry or have children. I made up my mind that if I can't return to the mountain, my lineage will end with me, so as not to bring shame to my ancestors!"

Then, the other party said sadly:
“However, there are many things in this world that are beyond human control.

"The fact that I was able to become an immortal and a master of alchemy was all thanks to the blessing of the Huang family on the mountain, but my own aptitude is really a rotten tree that cannot be carved... I have no choice but to accept my fate."

Huang Guishan smiled bitterly and looked at Yu Que:
"But I thought, even if I can't climb Mount Huangshan again, at least when I die, my bones should be scattered on the Tiandu Peak of Mount Huangshan so that I can see the mountain with my own eyes."

After hearing this, Yu Que understood everything.

Huangshan was also known as the "Capital of the Son of Heaven" in ancient times. Tiandu Peak is one of the three main peaks of Huangshan. Although it is not as high as Lianhua Peak and Guangmingding, it stands out from the ground and is the most majestic and magnificent. It can be called the "No. 1 Peak of Huangshan" and it is also the place where the Huangshan Taoist Temple holds sacrifices to the sky.

If one wants to scatter the ashes there, even if it is done secretly, one must at least be admitted to the Huangshan Taoist Temple and have achieved success in cultivation so that one can be invited to watch the ceremony at Tiandu Peak. Only then can one achieve one's wish.

Huang Guishan probably felt that he had no hope and did not plan to have any offspring, so he placed his hopes on his disciple. He wanted to have a more capable disciple, and once the disciple was admitted to the Taoist Palace and had the opportunity to climb Tiandu Peak, he could help him realize his dream.

Huang Guishan might even hope that his disciple could one day help him return to the Huang family on the mountain to offer sacrifices to his ancestors on his behalf and feel very proud!
At this point, Huang Guishan finally finished speaking his "little thoughts", and he immediately bowed to Yu Que:

"Que'er, I know that what I said was a bit harsh, so please don't feel pressured... Alas, I didn't want to tell you such vulgar things. But today you asked me about the 'Taisui Dharma Lineage', and I really don't know how to explain it."

Huang Guishan looked at Yu Que with great sincerity:

"Master, you can curse the heavens and the earth. I, Huang Guishan, am not a member of the Tai Sui lineage, and I have never plotted against you. I just want to find a disciple who is capable and respectful of me, so that I can fulfill my last wish."

Yu Que remained silent after hearing this.
