Chapter 397 Tachibana Fukufu: This time, I'm determined to establish a dignified image!
After that, the two boarded the Herald of Knowledge's fishing boat and headed to the land of Weifei, or more accurately, hitched a ride on someone else's boat.
After all, a person who understands the laws wouldn't actually build a fishing boat just for themselves; there's no need for them to build a boat just because they'll hardly ever go out to sea.
Along the way, Yi Xuan and the captain of the ship chatted happily in the dialect of Wei Fei. Shi Zhilu also sat on the side, listening to the two chattering while happily scrolling through his phone, occasionally offering his own sharp comments on their conversation.
Only Ling, being from out of town, couldn't understand the dialect at all and sat there restlessly. In the end, Yi Xuan took the initiative to end the conversation when they were almost at the port.
Turning to look at Ling, who was straightening her back and looking down at the ground, Yi Xuan smiled and started chatting with her. She showed no remorse for her previous neglect and instead asked Ling with great interest if she was interested in their previous conversation.
Although Ling couldn't understand it, she could glean some clues from the way the two chatted and the expressions they inadvertently revealed. It was likely that the identity of this Herrscher of Knowledge was not simple.
Yi Xuan first confirmed Ling's guess, then looked at the Herrscher of Knowledge who was scrolling through her phone. Since she was there, it would be better to get her consent before discussing anything that might involve privacy.
"Why are you looking at me? Just say what you want to say. I didn't ask you to hide anything."
After receiving the other party's approval, Yi Xuan said, "Ling, as my newly accepted disciple, let me first tell you about a necessary step after you enter the sect."
Ling swallowed hard and looked nervously at Yi Xuan.
"You should know that there have been legends of immortals in Weifei since ancient times, right?"
Ling nodded.
"That's good. First of all, don't be fooled by how... capricious this Senior Fu Shi is. In fact, she is indeed one of the immortals of Wei Fei Di."
"what???"
Ling's gaze shifted back and forth between Yi Xuan and the Herrscher of Knowledge, as if to say that she believed her master Yi Xuan was the true immortal more than the Herrscher of Knowledge.
Yi Xuan could only shake his head with a wry smile. To be honest, compared to Fu Hua, the Herrscher of Knowledge did lack some of the established impression of a celestial being. When he and his sister learned about this from their master, they were just as surprised as Ling.
"I know you may not believe it, but it is true."
"Wait, Master said one of the immortals, could it be that..."
“Yes.” Yi Xuan nodded. “The Fu Hua Sheriff you know is actually the Crimson Kite Immortal of Wei Feidi.”
Then Yi Xuan told Ling in detail about the legend of the Red Kite Immortal, the deeds related to Wei Feidi and the immortal, and instructed her that these were all real events that had happened in Wei Feidi, so she should remember not to question the authenticity of the immortal in the future.
"..."
Ling didn't know what to say, but since Yi Xuan had said so, Ling decided to try to believe him for now. After all, looking back now, Fu Hua did indeed have some of the qualities of an immortal.
"Speaking of which, why would Miss Fu Hua, also known as the Crimson Kite Immortal, want to become a sheriff?"
"There are two reasons. First, she needs to make money. After all, even immortals need to eat, and they don't like us offering them food every day. Second, she had to go out to Janus District to work as a sheriff for some reason."
“I understand the situation, but Master Yixuan must have said more than just to let me know about the local customs of Weifei, right?”
“Indeed, compared to the customs of Weifei, the reason I’m telling you this is because our Yunkui Mountain tradition has been that after entering the sect, disciples must walk to Fuyun Temple, where the immortals reside, to pay their respects. As for the reason, I think you understand, right?”
"Yes, it's said that the magic of Yunkui Mountain originated from the teachings of the Crimson Kite Immortal. So, is that true?"
"It's half true and half false," Yi Xuan said. "It's true that the Yun Kui Mountain magic did indeed originate from the Crimson Kite Immortal. What's false is that the first sect master of Yun Kui Mountain did not receive any instruction from the immortal. The immortal only gave the sect master a few pointers after meeting him and feeling that they were destined to meet. It was because of these few words that the first sect master created the prototype of the Yun Kui magic we know today. However, this took the first sect master's entire life."
"lifetime?"
This is when the Lawgiver of Knowledge also joined the dialogue.
"That's right. Your first sect leader spent his whole life trying to understand these techniques from the words of the old antique. If he hadn't realized in his later years that if he didn't take on disciples, the lineage might have been cut off, then Yun Kui Mountain would have reached its initial scale."
However, at the beginning, Yun Kui Mountain only had your first sect leader and his disciple. Later, the second sect leader inherited all the knowledge of the first sect leader and began to study it in depth while taking on many disciples, which allowed Yun Kui Mountain to truly develop.
However, in the early stages, in order to quickly establish a reputation, he borrowed the name of the old antique, which allowed him to rapidly develop into a large sect. But the old antique never cared about such things and simply let them be.
"Is that really the case?"
"So, whether out of guilt or something else, Yunkui Mountain has a tradition that disciples must walk to Fuyun Temple after entering the sect. At its peak, there were a dozen or twenty people setting off into the mountains in a grand procession."
“Speaking of this, I’m annoyed with this old fogey.” The Herald of Knowledge waved his hand irritably. “Yi Xuan, haven’t you ever thought about abolishing this tradition? It’s not like we’ll never see each other again after meeting once. It’s so annoying to have this charade every time!”
"Haha! After all, this is a tradition, and the second-generation sect leader who established this rule specifically instructed us before his death that this is the only thing that cannot be changed. So, no matter how unruly I am, I still have to respect my master's instructions."
"Speaking of which, why does Master like to call you 'Senior Immortal'?" Ling asked.
"How about this reason: I don't like people calling me an immortal?" said the Herald of Knowledge, arms crossed.
"That's how it is. Neither Senior Fu Hua nor Senior Fu Shi likes to be called immortals, so we can only compromise and call them seniors."
"Ok."
Just then, accompanied by the sound of a ship's horn, the ship docked. A familiar-looking Greek woman then ran towards them from the dock.
According to Yixuan's introduction, this person's name is Ju Fufu, and she is the first disciple she took in. In other words, she is the senior sister of Ling and Zhe.
Afterwards, because Yi Xuan had some things to take care of, he handed over the reception bell to Ju Fufu. After instructing Ju Fufu to take good care of his junior sister, he took the hand of the Herrscher of Knowledge and left.
Ju Fufu was used to this, as her master was always capricious. Because of this, Ju Fufu had searched for her master, who often left without saying goodbye, more than once.
After sighing, Ju Fufu cheered up and started showing Rin around Chenghuiping. It was not easy for a new junior sister to come, and she wanted to take advantage of the fact that Rin was not familiar with her yet to establish a dignified and reliable senior sister image. She did not want to be called cute by her junior brothers and sisters again!
