The Great Tang Dynasty: The Celestial Master Descends the Mountain, Starts by Being Deceived into Ma

Chapter 38 ends, may he rest in peace.

"Young master, hurry up and go!"

Ah Lü's voice was very clear and crisp, and she was hopping around. Having avenged her great grudge, she felt much lighter and had returned to her original personality.

Widow Liu was not a lively or boisterous person during her lifetime. You could tell just by looking at her appearance that she was quiet, gentle, and had a slow and easygoing nature.

But the one controlling her body now is not like that. The little monster is lively and playful by nature. A few days ago, she was depressed because of the revenge of Widow Liu. Now that the great revenge has been achieved, her true nature has been exposed.

It's quite a contrast.

Gao Yang walked slowly alongside Lu Jinghe, and seeing Ah Lü's happy appearance, he couldn't help but smile.

"I never expected A-Lu to have such a personality," Gao Yang sighed softly, laughing heartily.

"I didn't expect that either." Lu Jinghe turned his head and stared at Gao Yang, saying meaningfully, "Similarly, I didn't expect your personality either."

"What's wrong with me?" Gao Yang felt a little uncomfortable under Lu Jinghe's gaze, turned her head away, and said with a flushed face, "Aren't you a Taoist priest who can tell fortunes? Don't you know what kind of person I am?"

She was outwardly defiant, but inwardly she was very uneasy. What if Lu Jinghe had discovered that she was faking it? Would he have abandoned her?

"Did I know you were you back then?" Lu Jinghe lifted the little girl, Sizi, whom he was holding in his arms. The little girl was looking around at the scenery when Lu Jinghe whispered to her, "Sizi, your sister lied to her brother. Should we punish her?"

"You lied to your brother?" Little Sizi looked up at Gao Yang, her voice still childish.

"Brother, how did your sister trick you?"

"Your sister... she's really wicked. Sizi, you mustn't learn from her. Let me tell you, that day..."

"Lu Jinghe!" Gao Yang's face turned red, not just from shyness, but also from a bit of embarrassment and anger.

Give me the rhinoceros!

Gao Yang angrily snatched the ox away, glaring at it and saying, "What nonsense are you spouting to a child every day!"

Without waiting for Lu Jinghe's reaction, she picked up Sizi and ran after A-Lu.

"A-Lu, wait for us!"

Little Sizi was held in Gao Yang's arms, bouncing up and down, but she still didn't forget to talk to Lu Jinghe, shouting loudly, "Brother! Shizi will protect you! Bad sister won't bully you, hurry up and chase after him!"

Soon, Ah Lü led her team through a maze of streets to Sun Qi's doorstep. After knocking for a while, Ah Lü asked in confusion, "Why isn't he here?"

"Did you buy those clothes from Sun Qi?" Lu Jinghe asked from behind.

Ah Lü nodded, somewhat nostalgic, "Yes, Sister Liu once told me that she knew many wonderful people, especially this Sun Qi."

"He was a big shot who made money doing business in Chang'an, and he often sent her things to help her."

"Sister Liu has always been very grateful to Sun Qi. After all, she is a widow, and it is very difficult for her to live alone in this world. Sun Qi has helped her a lot."

"She really wanted to thank Sun Qi, but he never came back to Lantian."

"I ran into him that day, and asked him to make me a dress... but where is he?"

Lu Jinghe knew perfectly well that the old man had probably been scared back to Chang'an City long ago, and said, "He should be gone."

"Huh? They're gone? What about my clothes?"

Ah-Lu looked at her tattered clothes with some regret and felt unhappy.

"Aren't there other clothing stores?" Gao Yang asked, puzzled. Why did he have to buy from Sun Qi?

"So there are others?" Ah-Lu blinked, realizing that there was more than one clothing store.

"Ah-Lu, why are you looking so dazed?" Gao Yang couldn't help but laugh.

"Dumb!" Si Zi chimed in, waving her arms and giggling in Gao Yang's arms. "Even Shi Zi knows that Sister A Lü is an idiot!"

"Sizi!" A-Lu puffed out her cheeks, pretending to be angry, but the smile in her eyes was impossible to hide.

Lu Jinghe interrupted them, laughing, "Stop fooling around, let's go, there should be plenty of clothing stores in the town."

"But before that, go home and change out of these blood-stained clothes."

Ah Lü looked down at herself and then remembered that her clothes were covered in blood. She quickly nodded and said, "Yes, young master."

When Ah Lü returned to Widow Liu's house, she rummaged through her belongings and found a relatively new set of plain-colored clothes. These were clothes that Sister Liu had bought by saving every penny, and she couldn't bear to wear them.

"Sister Liu, I've dressed you in pretty clothes... The young master and mistress will take me shopping for nice clothes later." Ah Lü closed the door and said softly, her eyes a little sore.

A moment later, she took a deep breath, went to the gate of the courtyard, and took one last look at Sister Liu's house.

The gate to this courtyard is locked forever, and no one knows when someone will come to inherit this house and open the gate.

"Madam, are there many clothing stores on the street?"

This time, A-Lu didn't run ahead. Instead, she followed Gao Yang, with Lu Jinghe leading the way. After passing through several alleys, they arrived at the busiest main street in Lantian.

"Yes, is this your first time shopping here?" Gao Yang sensed that A-Lu was a bit restricted and didn't feel comfortable, so he slowed down his pace.

"Yes, I was afraid to come before because there were too many people."

"Huh?" Gao Yang was taken aback, and asked in confusion, "You're a monster, how can you be afraid of crowds?"

Ah-Lu didn't know either, so she shook her head.

These intelligent demons rarely approach crowded places; it's an innate fear they possess.

As they walked, Gao Yang suddenly stopped and called out to Lu Jinghe, who was walking ahead of him, while he grabbed A-Lu's hand and ran into the clothing store.

"This is the place, Jinghe! Don't leave!"

Upon entering the room, Ah-Lu was overwhelmed by the dazzling array of clothes hanging on the walls or laid out on the table.

The person she had seen most in her life was Widow Liu, who was always dressed in plain white clothes.

Sister Liu told her that she really likes pretty clothes, is this what she meant?

Ah-Lu didn't know, she just thought all the clothes were really nice.

Are you gentlemen looking to buy ready-to-wear clothing?

"Don't worry about us." Gao Yang waved his hand and started picking at Ah Lü on his own.

Soon, A-Lu had chosen her clothes. As a princess, Gao Yang did not have the habit of carrying money with her, and A-Lu, being a snake demon, was penniless. The two of them turned to look at Lu Jinghe.

Lu Jinghe shrugged and paid the money.

Ah-Lu changed into her new clothes in a small booth inside the store, beaming with joy, finally fulfilling Sister Liu's wish before her death.

As soon as I stepped outside, I heard Si Zi say, "Sister A-Lu is so pretty!"

Ah Lü smiled and patted Xiao Sizi's head, thinking to herself: Sister Liu, these are beautiful clothes... Ah Lü has put them on for you.

As they left the shop, Ah Lü's smile gradually faded, and she softly said, "Young master... let's go bury Sister Liu."

"6

It's been so many days, it's time to let Sister Liu rest in peace.

The group returned to the mountain and followed Ah Lü to the graves of Widow Liu's husband and child. As soon as Lu Jinghe took out the coffin, Ah Lü immediately withdrew from Widow Liu's body.

Without Ah Lü's support, the corpse instantly reverted to a rotting, dried-up corpse.

Lu Jinghe put the body back into the coffin and reburied it.

On the way down the mountain, Sizi nestled in Gaoyang's arms, holding back for a long time before finally asking, "Sister, where did Sister A-Lu go?"

"Why did you cover the persimmon's eyes just now? After you opened them, Sister Green disappeared."

77

"Sister A-Lu is on Jinghe's shoulder."

"Sister A-Lu?" Xiao Sizi called out. Sister A-Lu is so big, how could she be on Lu Jinghe's shoulder?

As soon as she uttered the cry, a small green snake appeared that could speak human language.

"Little sister Sizi, I'm here."
