《Disciple, Don't Cause Trouble, Master Won't Leave the Mountain!》Chapter 68: Tension Before the Battle
Advertisement
The two of them had just escaped death, so they couldn't care less. They carried Yang Jian's body down the mountain.
Yu Sisi was furious when she heard this. She clenched her fists tightly, unable to contain the raging fire in her heart. She strode forward. The people had been surrounding the Yang family to comfort Yang Xun and his mother. When they saw Yu Sisi's angry face, so they all quieted down and left a passage leading to the Yang family for her.
At this time, the crowd was silent, and Yang Xun and his mother's cries were heartbreakingly desolate.
"Yang Jian, you're leaving just like that. You... how can you bear to do that? Little Xun is still so young. Sob, sob, sob"
Yang Jian's wife laid herself on Yang Jian's cold body and sobbed. Before dawn, Yang Jian climbed out of his bed and said that he wanted to get some animal skins for the mother and son. When the weather was cold, wild beasts wouldn't go out too much. Yang Jian's wife acknowledged him and got up as well. She prepared some biscuits for him and asked him what he wanted for dinner. Yang Jian smiled and said, "Honey, I love to eat whatever you cook."
Yang Jian's wife scolded him at that time. "We're already an old couple. It's not shameful to say this." She patted him lightly, but her face was smiling. She wanted to cook him a sumptuous meal for dinner.
It was clearly the beginning of such an ordinary and warm day. How could it be? How could it end up like this? Yang Jian's wife was heartbroken and fainted. Yang Xun stood not far away in a daze and looked at her. He was wearing a single piece of clothing and was barefoot. Suddenly, he went up and shook Yang Jian's arm, "Father, why are you sleeping on the ground? Mother said that it's getting cold, you can't lie on the ground. Quickly get up, quickly get up!"
"Son, your father, he can't get up. He can't get up anymore."
A neighbor grandpa lamented. Yang Jian was a strong and decent man. It was really unfortunate that he was gone now, leaving an orphan and widow.
"Father, don't scare me, I, I will listen to your words, don't make mother angry, you pay attention to me, pay attention to me... I will never, never misbehave again, father! Wu wu wu ah ah ah ah ah!"

Only then did Yang Xun have a real sense of his father's sudden death. He was kneeling at his mother's side and vigorously shaking Yang Jian's stiff arm, while using his arm to wipe away his tears.
The others also teared up when they saw this tragic scene. The sensitive women silently wiped away their tears and could not bear to look any longer.
Yu Sisi's anger pumped through her veins, she grabbed the self-blame friends of Yang Jian and asked the appearance of the two cultivators. After hearing that the two cultivators were wearing the same clothes and their foot robe a "He" word, her anger reached the peak.
She felt stifled in her heart, "Screw the He family. Back then, you destroyed my entire family. This debt has not been settled yet. And today, you have added new grudges. Yang Jian is just an ordinary person, but you actually killed him! As expected, the He family is not for good things. They are a nest of snakes and rats. I, Yu Sisi, will uphold justice for the heavens today. I will make you pay with blood!"
Everyone also leaned toward Yu Sisi and Xiong Ji, begging them to take revenge for Yang Jian. In their eyes, Yu Sisi and Xiong Ji were omnipotent cultivators. They would definitely seek justice for Yang Jian!
"Rest assured, everyone. Brother Yang Jian died because of me. I will definitely take the heads of those two people for him and pay tribute to his spirit in heaven!" After Yu Sisi finished speaking, she turned around resolutely.
Presumably, the people of the He family were afraid of alerting them, so they chose a detour and went up the mountain from the other side of the Mount God of Heaven, planning to attack at night. Unfortunately, those two idiots had exposed their tracks. "You two, wash your necks and wait for me!", Yu Sisi's mind was filled with revenge.
Xiong Ji, who was at the side, was also extremely angry. This was the first time he felt heartache over the death of a human, and he swore to make them pay with blood. In the future, he would have to go down the mountain more often to help Yang Jian's family. Xiong Ji reached into his lapels and touched a cloth bag. It was a money bag that Yang Jian's wife had made for him. He held onto the bag filled with crystals tightly. it made his hand pain, but it was not enough to resolve Xiong Ji's grief.

The two of them continued their journey in silence, searching for traces of the He family all the way along the foot of the mountain. The sunlight was already at its peak. It was bright and warm, but the two of them could not look any better because of the bright sun. This was a darkness in their heart that light could not dispel. They could only wash it away with blood!
...
The sun hung high in the sky. On the peak of the Mount God of Heaven, there was a circular area with a radius of six to seven hundred meters. It was different from the howling of the cold wind in the surroundings. It was a bustling scene of spring and summer.
Looking down at this circular area, it appeared to be separated into two areas like Tai Chi. There were small attics in the center of each side. One was tall while the other was short. The scenery on both sides was completely different. The tall attic was a large lotus pond. There were all kinds of lotus flowers in the pond. The koi fish in the pond swam freely and played among the lotus leaves. The attic stood on the water. There was only an area of about 10 square meters. There was a tombstone and all kinds of flowers were clustered around it. The low attic was a flat land. The jujube trees stood on the side. There were some pink, purple, and white flowers scattered on the grass. A cheetah cat was chasing the Jade Butterfly. It jumped and rolled, flattening many flowers and plants.
Jiang Yun was lying under the jujube tree to enjoy the cool. He covered his head with a fan and fanned himself by the side. It was very comfortable. He was far away from the mortal world. No one knew how much time had passed in the mountains. Jiang Yun simply made the weather in his domain be sunny every day like spring and summer, so that his master could bask in the sun every day.
"I certainly am the best disciple ever seen." Jiang Yun thought narcissistically, "But why didn't I have disciples like me?"
Speaking of disciples, why haven't Yu Sisi and Xiong Ji returned after such a long time? Jiang Yun thought, "Those two couldn't have run straight to the He family's nest, right? It was so far away, they were definitely not going there! I'm really like an old man in an empty house now, and I'm still worried about my children who have left home to wander about. What exactly is it that makes a young and impetuous person like me become an old woman?"
Jiang Yun closed his eyes and sensed Xiong Ji's location. It wasn't far from him. It was probably at the foot of the mountain, and it was still circling around the mountain. What was going on?
Jiang Yun was just thinking about what Yu Sisi and Xiong Ji were doing when the sound of "tu, tu" beside him pulled his thoughts back. Jiang Yun sighed, "Ah!" It started again.
A peacock with missing feathers ran out of nowhere. It was stretching its neck and pecking at the bark of the jujube tree. The jujube tree was tickled by its peck. Its branches and leaves were "rustling", as if it was laughing. Jiang Yun's eyes were lifeless under the tree. He really could not understand why the jujube tree liked to be pecked by a peacock? Did his tree have a hobby of being abused?
In fact, although the jujube tree had intelligence, it could not communicate with people. It could not run around like a leopard cat and a Jasper Butterfly or run directly into Jiang Yun's arms and act coquettishly. It could not move and could only shake its leaves. When the peacock came, it would peck its bark every day to heal its injuries. It was the only partner that would "play" with it.
The peacock also spread its peck very systematically. It did not directly gnaw the jujube tree until it was bald. It ate this piece today and that piece tomorrow. The arrangement was very reasonable. However, there was actually no need at all. The peacock thought that the jujube trees could recover a small wound every day. The truth was that Jiang Yun would give the jujube trees a wound-free buff every day before he went to bed. It could be said to be a medical miracle.

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
