Chapter 80, Mountain Pass 3, the Future God of the Five Ghost Stars
Time flies.
Before we knew it, another month had passed.
At this moment, Chen Changsheng and Deng Chanyu arrived at a pass.
This pass is situated in a treacherous location, nestled between three mountains and a river; it is none other than the Three Mountains Pass.
"Um?"
Looking at Sanshan Pass from afar, Deng Chanyu frowned slightly.
"Is Master sending me back?"
She muttered to herself.
Over the past few months, Deng Chanyu has gotten used to being with Chen Changsheng and listening to his teachings.
Moreover, under Chen Changsheng's guidance, she felt as if she had been reborn.
Seeing Chen Changsheng bring her to Sanshan Pass now, Deng Chanyu couldn't help but feel anxious.
After all, she had secretly run away from home in the first place in order to find a celestial being to become his apprentice and learn magic.
She has only just entered the first stage of the mortal realm of cultivation, so naturally she still hopes to continue cultivating by Chen Changsheng's side.
Let's go!
Just as Deng Chanyu was in a daze, Chen Changsheng's voice came.
Deng Chanyu lowered her head and softly replied:
"oh."
Chen Changsheng didn't pay any attention to this and led Deng Chanyu toward Sanshan Pass.
Before long, the two arrived at a majestic fortress.
Looking up, one sees towering city walls and fluttering banners.
The three large characters "Sanshan Pass" on the city gate gleamed brightly.
"Chanyu, we're home now, aren't you going to lead your master inside for a look?"
Seeing that Deng Chanyu was not in a good mood, Chen Changsheng spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Deng Chanyu took a deep breath, a smile blooming on her face, before leading Chen Changsheng into the city.
The gatekeepers, seeing that it was Deng Chanyu, dared not stop her and immediately let her pass.
Before long, Deng Chanyu led Chen Changsheng into the inner city.
"Master, you...you are not...?"
Just as Deng Chanyu was about to ask Chen Changsheng if he had specially escorted her home, a shout suddenly came from not far away:
"Second Sister, you're back!!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng and Deng Chanyu both looked in the direction of the voice.
Upon closer inspection, a young general dressed in silver armor jogged forward to greet them.
The young man's face was full of joy, and he looked extremely excited.
Who else could it be but Deng Xiu, Deng Chanyu's elder brother?
Upon seeing Deng Xiu, Deng Chanyu was also delighted and immediately called out:
"Big brother!"
The brother and sister were naturally very affectionate when they met.
Approaching her, Deng Xiu sized Deng Chanyu up and down before her face darkened and she said irritably:
"You silly girl, do you know how badly Father scolded me for sneaking off!"
"We've sent out countless people these days, trying to find you."
Upon hearing what Deng Xiu said, Deng Chanyu smiled somewhat awkwardly.
She knew that her father, Deng Jiugong, would be furious if she ran away from home, and her older brother would probably get a lot of scolding.
"Thank goodness you're alright."
"It's good that you're back!"
Seeing that Deng Chanyu did not respond, Deng Xiu spoke again.
He had always cherished his younger sister Deng Chanyu since childhood, so how could he really blame her?
At this moment, Deng Xiu's gaze shifted and landed on Chen Changsheng, who was standing to the side.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Changsheng was dressed in a blue Taoist robe, giving him a rather otherworldly and dignified appearance.
Although Chen Changsheng had concealed his aura, he still exuded a captivating presence.
"Second sister, who is this?"
While observing her, Deng Xiu asked a question.
It was obvious that Chen Changsheng had entered the city with Deng Chanyu.
Upon hearing Deng Xiu's question, Deng Chanyu immediately perked up and quickly moved closer to Chen Changsheng, then introduced him:
"Big brother."
"This is my immortal master!"
Upon hearing Deng Chanyu's reply, Deng Xiu was greatly surprised.
"what?"
Deng Xiu looked surprised and couldn't help but glance at Chen Changsheng a few more times.
At first glance, Chen Changsheng seemed to have an extraordinary air about him, unlike an ordinary person.
But when Deng Chanyu said that he was an immortal, Deng Xiu became suspicious.
After all, there are quite a few swindlers in this world who impersonate immortal masters.
Moreover, my sister has long wanted to find a sage to learn from, and her eagerness makes her more susceptible to being deceived.
"This person does look quite respectable."
"Could he be someone who's just trying to gain fame and fortune?"
Upon thinking of this, Deng Xiu quickly looked at Deng Chanyu and said earnestly:
"Second Sister."
"These immortals aren't so easy to encounter."
"The concept of a predestined connection with immortals is something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought."
"You'd better keep your eyes open, or you'll get scammed."
Chen Changsheng didn't pay any attention to what Deng Xiu said, his expression remaining completely calm.
On the contrary, Deng Chanyu, seeing that Deng Xiu actually questioned Chen Changsheng, immediately pouted and said sullenly:
"Big brother."
How dare you question my master like that?
"My master is a disciple of the Jie Sect."
"Moreover, he and Grand Tutor Wen Zhong of the current dynasty are fellow disciples!"
Upon hearing Deng Chanyu's words, Deng Xiu's expression changed drastically.
When she looked at Chen Changsheng again, there was no trace of doubt left in her eyes.
You must know that the disciples of the Jie Sect are from a lineage of saints, so no one would dare to impersonate them.
Moreover, he is a fellow disciple of Wen Zhong, the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty. With such a clear identity, the identity of the person in front of him is probably genuine.
"What's going on?"
"Did my girl just get incredibly lucky?"
"After running away from home, he actually became a disciple of a cultivation sect?"
"If he is a fellow disciple of Grand Tutor Wen, then who is this person?"
The more Deng Xiu thought about it, the more shocked she became.
Seeing Deng Xiu's surprise, Deng Chanyu smiled with satisfaction and quickly looked at Chen Changsheng:
"Master!"
"This is my elder brother, Deng Xiu. He was just worried that his disciple would be deceived. I hope Master will not be offended."
Chen Changsheng nodded slightly, naturally not taking this small matter to heart.
He naturally knew about Deng Xiu.
Born into a family of military generals during the Yin and Shang dynasties, he was the son of Deng Jiugong and the elder brother of Deng Chanyu.
He served as the deputy commander and vanguard officer when he followed his father, Deng Jiugong, to conquer Xiqi. Later, he surrendered to the Zhou camp with Deng Jiugong.
This person didn't have many scenes in the Investiture of the Gods war.
Ultimately, Jiang Ziya bestowed upon him the title of God of the Five Ghosts on the Investiture Platform.
Seeing Chen Changsheng looking at her, Deng Xiu quickly bowed and said apologetically:
"Please forgive me, Immortal Master!"
"I spoke rudely just now and misunderstood the immortal master."
"I hope the immortal master will not take offense."
Before Chen Changsheng could reply, Deng Chanyu suddenly spoke up:
"Big brother, my master isn't as petty as you think!"
"As for you, you'd better keep your eyes open in the future."
"Even a celestial master like my master couldn't see it."
Deng Xiu looked embarrassed, then quickly changed the subject and said:
"Immortal Master, please come back to my residence with me!"
Chen Changsheng smiled calmly, and then, led by Deng Xiu and Deng Chanyu, the brother and sister, he arrived at the General's Mansion.
As soon as they entered the mansion, they saw a middle-aged man practicing his swordplay in the courtyard.
The man's swordsmanship was fierce and powerful, and with each swing, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder.
In addition, he was surrounded by a powerful aura and exuded righteousness.
