The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 102: The Slanting Moon
Leizhan and Wangshu walked out of the Taoist temple and saw a young man in white clothes and long hair and two Taoist children standing in front of the temple looking at them.

"This must be Junior Brother Leizhan!"

Jiang Jun in white came up with a smile on his face: "And this is Junior Sister Wangshu."

Leizhan looked over and his mind moved. He and Wangshu immediately understood that this was the tenth senior brother mentioned by the ancestor, Lord Jiang in White.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Jiang Jun." Lei Zhan and the other two immediately saluted.

"Hahaha!" Bai Yi Jiang Jun said happily, "I was wondering why Master hadn't accepted any disciples for so long, and now he's accepted two."

"The ancestor accepted disciples?" The two boys standing in front of the door were surprised. "And he accepted two at once?"

They were surprised and even a little bit weird when they saw Patriarch Bodhi coming back from outside with a man and a woman.

After all, a woman emitting the aura of a pure Yang immortal and a young man at the Return to Void level following closely behind the ancestor is a somewhat strange combination.

However, I never expected that as soon as the man and woman came out, they had already become the ancestor's disciples.

Wouldn't that be...

Jiang Jun in white said with a smile, "Qingshui, Baihe, Master has just accepted Junior Brother Leizhan and Junior Sister Wangshu as his disciples. You two must remember this."

"Greetings, two uncles." The two boys looked at Leizhan and Wangshu and bowed quickly.

"Greetings, my two junior brothers." Leizhan and Wangshu both had smiles on their faces. With their vision, they could naturally see the extraordinaryness of these two boys.

"Junior brother."

"Junior sister."

Jiang Jun in white looked over again and said, "You two have just become Master's disciples today, so I will take you for a walk in Fangcun Mountain. There are several brothers on Fangcun Mountain right now."

"Then I'll trouble you, senior brother." Lei Zhan bowed respectfully.

"Thank you for your help, senior brother." Wangshu also bowed.

"We are all disciples of the master, so there is no need to be polite." Jiang Jun in white smiled and left the Taoist temple with Lei Zhan and the other two.

……

"Uncle Master!"

"Master!"

"Uncle Jiang Jun!"

Walk all the way.

On the way, they often heard various titles such as "Grandmaster", "Uncle Master", "Uncle Master", and "Grandmaster", and Leizhan and Wangshu also watched curiously along the way.

On Fangcun Mountain, the scenery is beautiful, and all kinds of fairy birds and beasts can be seen everywhere. They all have a restrained aura and the atmosphere is peaceful.

"The atmosphere in our Fangcun Mountain is far more peaceful than those large factions out there." Wangshu sighed as he watched the scenes unfold before him. "Humans, demons, and even gods and demons—I haven't seen a single conflict along the way."

Wangshu couldn't help but think of the incident in the North Sea of ​​the Daxia world. As soon as she appeared, the two gods and demons coveted her bloodline and wanted to kill her.

If not...

Wangshu glanced at the young man in black robe beside him imperceptibly, with a faint smile on his beautiful face.

"Junior sister, you don't know." Jiang Jun turned around and smiled.

"Master doesn't care about his disciples' backgrounds when teaching them, so besides humans, there are also many demons, and even gods and demons who come here to learn the Dao."

"Master also has a rule: any disciple is forbidden from fighting in Fangcun Mountain. If a disciple dares to take action, Master will immediately suppress him and make him die!"

"No matter who it is, even if it's me, I can't take action against those disciples. If I do, Master will kill me directly." Jiang Jun said, "This is an iron rule, no one can violate it."

Leizhan nodded.

Thanks to his memories from his previous life, although he had some understanding of the Xieyue Sanxing Cave lineage through lines of text, it was not as intuitive as seeing it with his own eyes.

"This... I see!" Wangshu nodded. It seemed that the two rules mentioned by the ancestor before his death could not be violated at all.

"Brother, this seems to be... the way down the mountain?" Lei Zhan looked at the winding mountain road under his feet. Not only was it getting farther and farther away from the Taoist temple behind him, it was even becoming more and more remote.

"Could it be... that I'm going to meet that Senior Brother Houyi?" Lei Zhan muttered in his heart, but he was still a little uncertain.

"Junior brother, you may not know that there are three senior brothers currently on Fangcun Mountain. They are the eldest, second, and fifth senior brothers."

Jiang Jun smiled slightly as he explained, "Big Brother was the first to follow Master to learn Dao, and his strength is unfathomable. I'm taking my fellow apprentice brothers and sisters on a tour of the mountains, so naturally I have to take you to meet Big Brother first."

"Big Brother?" Lei Zhan thought to himself. Sure enough, wasn't the master's eldest disciple Hou Yi, aliased as the woodcutter?

"Big Brother?" Wangshu's eyes gleamed with anticipation. Ever since arriving at Fangcun Mountain and witnessing its myriad manifestations, she had grown increasingly convinced of the unfathomable depths of her Master, Patriarch Bodhi. Now, as she was about to meet Big Brother under the guidance of Senior Brother Jiang Jun, she felt a tinge of mystery.

The mountain road was rugged, and Jiang Jun walked down the stone steps one after another. The winding mountain road was so steep that the end was almost in sight. Suddenly, a well-trodden path appeared beside him. Jiang Jun turned and walked along this path into the forest.

As soon as he entered the forest, Leizhan was stunned.

Only a heroic and loud voice was heard floating from the mountains and forests, and along with this loud voice there were continuous "bang~~~" and "bang~~~" sounds, as if something was being chopped.

"Watching the chess pieces break, the clinking of woodcutters, walking slowly at the edge of the valley. Selling firewood and wine, laughing wildly and intoxicated..." "The autumn path is high, facing the moon, pillowing on pine roots, sleeping until dawn..."

Hearing the sound, Jiang Jun's pace obviously became much faster, and Lei Zhan and Wang Shu followed closely.

Soon, through the shadows of the trees, Leizhan could see the owner of the heroic voice. It was a woodcutter wearing straw sandals, cloth clothes and a straw hat. The woodcutter had dark skin and was very simple.

I saw him holding a seemingly ordinary axe in his left hand, chopping the thick tree in front of him again and again, while in his right hand he was holding a yellow gourd, pouring clear liquid into his mouth from time to time.

"Is this Senior Brother Houyi? He is truly unfathomable and I can't tell whether he is real or fake." Lei Zhan muttered secretly in his heart and quickly followed Jiang Jun to approach.

"Big Brother." Jiang Jun came up to the woodcutter and saluted respectfully.

"Senior Brother?" Fairy Wangshu's gaze was fixed on the dark-skinned man in front of her, with doubt in her eyes.

No matter how she looked, she could only discern a hint of melancholy about this simple elder brother. From his appearance alone, he looked like just an ordinary woodcutter chopping wood in the mountains. If not for the subtle sense of threat she felt, she would have mistaken him for just another ordinary mortal.

"Haha, it's Mr. Jiang." The woodcutter shouldered his axe and casually took a sip of wine. "Why are you here today?"

"I am following the orders of our master to help the new disciples get familiar with Fangcun Mountain, and then I will bring them to meet the eldest brother first." Jiang Jun said.

"Junior brother, junior sister?" The woodcutter looked at Leizhan and Wangshu with an ordinary gaze, observing them carefully.

"This is Junior Brother Leizhan. Next to him is Junior Sister Wangshu." Jiang Jun said, "Junior Brother, Junior Sister, have you met Senior Brother yet?"

"Greetings, Senior Brother." Leizhan and Fairy Wangshu said respectfully.

"Leizhan? Wangshu?"

"Good! Good!"

The woodcutter smiled and said, "Master has a good temper. It is fate that you can become his disciples. If you are free, you two can come and sit with me."

"Yes." Leizhan and Fairy Wangshu nodded.

"Okay, let's go." The woodcutter said with a smile, "Jiang Jun, take these two junior brothers and sisters to go to Ji Dian and Yin Yue."

"Okay." Jiang Jun nodded, then left with Leizhan and Wangshu.

Back to the rugged mountain road.

Wangshu sighed, "Big Brother seems truly unfathomable. If it weren't for our bloodline, I would have thought he was just an ordinary woodcutter, an ordinary mortal."

Although the woodcutter's aura was well restrained, Wangshu, having absorbed the true form of the Candle Dragon Pearl, could still sense a hint of threat from within. Considering what Jiang Jun had said and done earlier, he naturally didn't dare underestimate him.

"Junior sister is also a True Immortal. It's very good that she can discover the extraordinaryness of senior brother."

"When I first met my eldest brother, he was already cutting wood on this mountain. I almost thought he was a woodcutter." Jiang Jun said with a smile.

"Next, I will take you to meet Senior Brother Ji Dian and Senior Brother Yin Yue."

"One of them is a True God Daozu-level existence, and the other is also the top Heavenly God."

"Senior Brother Ji Dian often likes to sleep in front of the Three Realms Palace, while Senior Brother Yin Yue always stays in front of the Immortal Palace and is responsible for managing the Immortal Palace. I will take you to these two Taoist palaces later, so you can meet the two brothers."

"Senior Brother Ji Dian, the Silver Moon God?" There was a hint of shock in Fairy Wangshu's eyes. In ancient times, these were all like her father Yinglong. They were extremely famous in the Three Realms and their strength was even more terrifying.

"Oh? Junior Sister, have you heard of the two senior brothers?" Jiang Jun had a smile in his eyes. "However, Senior Brother Ji Dian has learned the secret technique of the Three Realms in One Dream from our master. He often condenses an avatar and walks in the Three Realms."

"Yes." Wangshu nodded. "Both of you brothers were extremely famous in ancient times. I have also heard of you outside."

"Okay." Jiang Jun laughed and said, "Since we're here, I'll take my junior brothers and sisters to find a place with beautiful scenery to stay."

Seeing that Leizhan and Wangshu both nodded, he smiled too.

After a while, under the leadership of Jiang Jun, the three of them arrived at a secluded place.

In this place, you can see mountain streams flowing, colorful flowers everywhere, red spiritual fruits hanging on the branches, and occasionally you can see some fairy birds flying by.

Jiang Jun pointed at the fairyland-like place and said, "Junior Brother, Junior Sister, do you think this is okay?"

"This?" Leizhan nodded, "This is it."

Lei Zhan waved his hand, and with a loud bang, his portable immortal residence fell into this place.

"That's it." Wangshu glanced at Leizhan and pointed in the distance. Another portable fairy palace appeared here.

"Huh?" Now it was Jiang Jun's turn to be stunned.

"Aren't Junior Brother Leizhan and Junior Sister Wangshu Taoist companions? I've been observing for a while and I find that you two are very familiar with each other. You even became disciples of our master together..." There was a hint of visible curiosity on Jiang Jun's face.

There were female disciples under Bodhi Patriarch, but the sudden acceptance of Wangshu and Leizhan together made Jiang Jun's curiosity keep nagging.

"Huh? Taoist partner?" Leizhan was extremely shocked. He looked at his senior brother Jiang Jun who had a smile on his face, and then looked at Wangshu who seemed to have a strange look on his face.

Hesitate for a moment.

"Brother, you've misunderstood. Wangshu and I are close friends. We ventured out together, and only in the end were we both accepted as disciples by our master."
