Chapter 87 Yuanshi Tianzun: Niu Ben, your house has been robbed!
Upon seeing that the visitors were Niu Ben and Randeng Daoren, Yuanshi Tianzun's gaze narrowed slightly, and he was quite surprised.
"Bullfighting?"
"How did he get here? Shouldn't he be in the Ten Thousand Mountains?"
"And what brings this Daoist Ran Deng to my Kunlun Mountain so suddenly?"
Previously, the Niu tribe from the Ten Thousand Mountains came to Kunlun Mountain seeking help.
Upon learning that the Niu Ben tribe was in trouble, Yuanshi did not stand idly by and sent Guangchengzi with his disciples to the Niu tribe to provide assistance.
Originally, Yuanshi Tianzun thought that Niu Ben should be in the Hundred Thousand Mountains at this time.
But who would have thought that they would actually return to Kunlun Mountain?
Besides that, what surprised him even more was...
Why is this Taoist Ran Deng here at my Kunlun Mountain?
Moreover, he was extremely polite and courteous, appearing as if he needed something from someone.
After a moment's hesitation, Yuanshi Tianzun prepared to speak and ask a question.
However, before he could even speak, Niu Ben interrupted:
"Second Uncle."
What exactly happened in the Kunlun Mountains?
"Why did Master and Uncle Tongtian leave Kunlun Mountain to find another place to cultivate?"
Upon hearing Niu Ben's question, Yuanshi Tianzun remained calm and slowly explained:
"Niu Ben" (牛犇).
"This was proposed by my elder brother."
He said that Kunlun Mountain would be unable to bear the fortune of the three sages in the future, so it would be better for each of them to find a place of practice before they become sages, so as not to affect their cultivation.
"Originally, Tongtian and I intended to give Kunlun Mountain to my elder brother."
"But my elder brother insisted on not taking it, saying that he had already found his new place of practice."
After hearing Yuanshi Tianzun's explanation, Niu Ben's furrowed brows finally relaxed.
"Huff huff..."
He breathed a long sigh of relief.
Earlier, outside the mountain gate, he heard the disciple say that Taishang and Tongtian had left Kunlun to find another place to practice. He thought that the Three Pure Ones had fallen out and separated.
Fortunately, things didn't turn out as he had expected.
Although Taishang and Tongtian went out to find other places of practice, the Three Pure Ones did not truly separate.
At least it didn't completely break away like its original destiny.
"I see……"
Niu Ben nodded slightly, feeling somewhat relieved.
He thought that his master's suggestion wasn't wrong.
Although Kunlun Mountain is the ancestral vein of the primordial world, it is indeed unable to bear the fortune of three sages at the same time.
After hearing the conversation between the two, Daoist Ran Deng was completely bewildered.
Just as he was about to speak, he explained his purpose to the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
However, before he could even say it, he was already speaking.
Suddenly, Yuanshi Tianzun seemed to remember something. His gaze sharpened, and he looked directly at Niu Ben, changing the subject as he spoke:
"Niu Ben" (牛犇).
"Why did you suddenly return to Kunlun instead of staying in the Ten Thousand Mountains?"
"Or is the matter finished?"
"Where are Guang Chengzi and the others? Why didn't they come back with you?"
Upon hearing Yuanshi Tianzun's question, Niu Ben was stunned, his head buzzing, and he was completely bewildered.
"One Hundred Thousand Mountains?"
Niu Ben was taken aback.
"Could it be... something happened in my hometown?"
Suddenly, an idea popped into Niu Ben's mind.
Upon realizing this, he quickly looked up at Yuanshi Tianzun and asked in confusion:
"Second Uncle."
What happened to the Ten Thousand Mountains?
Seeing Niu Ben's bewildered expression, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately realized that Niu Ben was probably completely unaware of what had happened in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
"What's wrong?"
"You know absolutely nothing?"
Yuan Shi asked in surprise.
Niu Ben shook his head. After descending Buzhou Mountain, he went straight back to Kunlun Mountain.
Then, Yuanshi Tianzun didn't hide anything and said directly:
"Previously, the cattle tribe from the Hundred Thousand Mountains came to my Kunlun Mountains seeking help."
"They said their Bull Clan was besieged by the army of the Purple Mansion Celestial Court."
"Upon learning that the Bull Clan was your clan, my nephew, I dispatched Guang Chengzi and others to provide assistance."
"I never expected that you, my junior disciple, would be completely unaware of this matter."
Upon hearing this from the Primordial Celestial Venerable, Niu Ben's expression suddenly changed.
"What?"
"The Purple Mansion Celestial Court army? Besieging the Bull Clan?"
Niu Ben exclaimed in surprise, his face full of astonishment.
"Could it be... that the Purple Mansion army we encountered on the road was heading straight for the Bull Clan of the Hundred Thousand Mountains?"
Earlier, Niu Ben and the Daoist Ran Deng had encountered a large army from the Purple Mansion Celestial Court.
At the time, Niu Ben didn't pay much attention; he was only focused on getting back to Kunlun Mountain as soon as possible.
Now, after hearing what Yuanshi Tianzun said, Niu Ben finally realized...
That vast and mighty army of the Purple Mansion Celestial Court was actually heading straight for his Bull Clan!
"Clang!"
Just thinking about it briefly ignited a surge of rage within Niu Ben.
"The Purple Mansion... the Eastern King Duke!"
Niu Ben said coldly, his eyes flashing with a cold light, and his whole body exuding a chilling killing intent.
"I haven't even gone looking for trouble with you, yet you've already provoked me?"
"Very well, since you're courting death!"
"Then I don't mind sending you to reincarnation sooner."
Thinking of this, Niu Ben quickly looked at Yuanshi Tianzun, his face filled with urgency, and said:
"Second Martial Uncle, this disciple has urgent business to attend to at the Ten Thousand Mountains, so I must take my leave now!"
After saying this, Niu Ben didn't wait for Yuanshi Tianzun's reply before tearing through the void and stepping inside.
Then, his figure vanished instantly, speeding straight towards the Ten Thousand Mountains!
"this……"
Yuanshi Tianzun was taken aback, then gave a bitter smile.
I didn't expect Niu Ben to be in such a hurry.
In his opinion, Niu Ben had no need to worry so much.
After all, he had already sent Guang Chengzi and others to the Niu tribe.
If the Purple Mansion Celestial Court wants to make a move against the Bull Clan, it should carefully consider whether it can afford to offend the Three Pure Ones!
After Niu Ben left, only Yuanshi Tianzun and Randeng Daoren remained in the main hall.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable shifted his gaze before finally settling on the Burning Lamp Daoist, and said calmly:
"Fellow Daoist Ran Deng, it's been a long time."
"May I ask what brings you to Kunlun?"
While saying this, Yuan Shi had a vague premonition in his heart.
The fact that Ran Deng came to Kunlun suggests that he likely had something to ask of him.
Upon hearing Yuanshi's question, Randeng did not beat around the bush and spoke directly:
"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, you are wise!"
"This humble Taoist has come to Kunlun Mountain to seek refuge under the tutelage of Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, and to attain enlightenment and enlightenment!"
When Yuanshi Tianzun heard what Randeng said, he was taken aback, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
It should be noted that this Daoist Ran Deng was one of the mortals who listened to his lectures at Zixiao Palace.
If we're really talking about seniority, I'd say we're peers.
But now, Randeng actually said he wanted to become his disciple, which caught Yuanshi somewhat off guard.
"Fellow Daoist Ran Deng."
"You and I once listened to our teacher preach together at Zixiao Palace."
"Now that you wish to become my disciple, well... perhaps that's somewhat inappropriate?"
Upon hearing this, Ran Deng didn't seem to think anything of it and smiled, saying:
"It is my own free will to become a disciple of Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, and there is nothing wrong with it."
"I humbly request that you grant me my wish to pursue the Dao!"
Yuanshi paused, his face showing deep thought.
After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke:
"Fellow Daoist Ran Deng, I cannot accept you as my disciple, but I can keep you in my Kunlun."
"From now on, you will teach my disciples."
What do you think?
Upon hearing this, Randeng readily agreed. Although he was unable to gain Yuanshi's patronage, being able to stay in Kunlun was already a great opportunity.
After a slight pause, Randeng smiled and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Yuanshi!"
