The Wudang Junior Master

Chapter 123 Old Farmer, Taurus, and Child

"what!"

When the remaining women saw this scene, they fled in panic and finally disappeared into the vast bamboo forest.

As soon as those women left, Zhang Wuling immediately realized that the evil fire in his body had subsided.

"It's really weird."

Zhang Wuling looked at his surroundings and was very curious about where he was.

It doesn't quite feel like an interior scene, nor is it the real world, but it doesn't seem like an illusion either.

Could it be that he has jumped out of the Three Realms and is no longer within the Five Elements?

Zhang Wuling got off the bed and walked out, but not long after he left, the female corpse on the bed turned into a pile of bones.

After passing through the emerald green bamboo forest, you will immediately see the very familiar steps.

How strange, how strange.

Zhang Wuling was a little curious about what strange things he would encounter if he continued to go up.

So he stepped onto the stairs again and walked towards the top of the mountain step by step.

However, this time, there was no abnormality in his body. Instead, his steps were light and his body and mind were relaxed.

I thought it would be the same as before, walking boringly for an unknown amount of time.

But the fact was just the opposite. After walking up about a few hundred steps, the view suddenly opened up and a paddy field appeared in front of us.

This paddy field is located on the mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist. In the distance you can see the vast mountain range and the sky, the scenery is pleasant.

Zhang Wuling was watching when he suddenly heard a cow mooing. Turning around, he saw a farmer wearing a conical hat and a short brown cloth shirt leading a huge golden bull.

The golden bull was covered in gold, with eyes like copper bells, and looked extraordinary and magical.

The old farmer pulled the rope with great effort, but the golden bull just stood there in the paddy field without moving.

Zhang Wuling was not afraid of getting dirty. He walked down the paddy field and came to the old farmer. This was the first person he met in this haunted place.

"Hello, where is this place?"

When the old farmer saw someone coming, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "This is Yujing Mountain."

Yujing Mountain?

Zhang Wuling was stunned. This name has extraordinary meaning in Taoism.

Could it be that he has ascended to heaven in broad daylight?

Not really. The old Taoist priest hasn’t even flown yet, how can he reach the sky in one step?

Thinking of everything that happened before, he suspected that he must have been taken somewhere by the "Taoism" left by True Man Zi Yang on the stone wall.

In that case, we must take a closer look at what kind of opportunity this is.

Zhang Wuling looked at the old farmer and asked, "Old man, what year is it today?"

The old farmer replied, "There are no years in the mountains."

"How old are you this year?"

The old farmer laughed heartily, stroking his beard and saying, "Longevity is beyond words!"

Hiss—Damn, did I meet a real god?!

Zhang Wuling scratched his head, looked at the big golden bull, and said, "Old man, why is your bull golden?"

The old farmer laughed and said, "That's real gold in the soil, and golden fire in the sky. It's rare to find such a thing!"

"So, this is a sacred cow."

"Of course." The old farmer nodded. "Using this ox to plow the fields will bring you good fortune, wealth, longevity, and strong rice seedlings. Moreover, this ox is made entirely of gold, and is strong and sturdy. It can withstand countless disasters without being destroyed, and is impervious to wind and thunder, water and fire. It's a pity..."

"pity?"

"It's a pity that the ox is too lazy today and doesn't want to plow the field. No matter how hard I try to pull it, it won't budge. It's so frustrating."

Zhang Wuling smiled and said, "In that case, why not let the cow rest for a while?"

"No," the old farmer shook his head. "If the ox doesn't plow the fields, even the best land will gradually become barren. By then, weeds will grow everywhere, and rice seedlings will have difficulty growing. How will we get food? Without food, people will die soon."

Zhang Wuling frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Old man, if you don't mind, why don't you let me try?"

Seeing this, the old farmer smiled and said, "That's exactly what I meant. Come, you lead the bull in front, and I'll hold the plow from behind. This bull is very strong, so you'll have to use some strength."

Zhang Wuling rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile, "It just so happens that I don't have much else to offer, but I have the utmost strength!"

"Good."

Zhang Wuling took the rope and the old farmer went to the back to hold the plow.

Looking at Taurus's bright eyes, Zhang Wuling took a deep breath, exerted force with both arms and began to pull forward.

At first, Zhang Wuling couldn't pull it, so he gradually increased his strength.

But what was unbelievable to him was that even though he used all his strength in the end, he was unable to move the golden bull at all.

Is this really a cow, not a mountain?

Zhang Wuling exerted force with both arms, clenched his teeth, and his face flushed red. The golden bull remained motionless, even blinking twice, as if to say:

"Little brother, you can't do it. You need to practice more."

thump.

Zhang Wuling slipped and fell into the paddy field, his chest heaving, gasping for breath, sweat dripping from his face, and his body almost exhausted.

The old farmer shook his head and said, "It seems that this still won't work."

Zhang Wuling was convinced. In this place, he was no different from an ordinary person, and even worse than an ordinary person.

"Old man, I have tried my best."

The old farmer looked at Zhang Wuling sitting in the paddy field, took off his hat, and said, "It seems that we can't just force the ox to pull it away. We need to use some tricks."

Zhang Wuling asked curiously, "What method?"

The old farmer pointed toward the paddy field and said, "There's a small path leading up here. If you keep going, you'll see a huge elm tree covered with golden leaves that look like copper coins. This cow loves to eat them. If you can help pick some elm leaves and bring them back to feed this wild cow, maybe it will be willing to move."

Elm leaves?

Zhang Wuling looked at the big golden bull and nodded, "Okay, I'll go take a look. If there are any, I'll pick some. By the way, how many leaves do you want?"

"Seven leaves will do."

"Seven leaves? Is that enough?" Zhang Wuling asked curiously.

If he remembered correctly, the elm leaves didn't seem very big, and a child could finish eating all the seven leaves, let alone the big golden bull.

The old farmer smiled and said, "That's enough, that's enough. For some things, you just need to have the right amount of heat, not too much or too little."

"Okay, then please wait for a moment, old man."

Zhang Wuling stood up from the paddy field and walked towards the path the old farmer had pointed out, going up all the way.

The path winds its way along the mountain. Looking out to the left, you can see the mountains and clouds shrouded in mist, creating a beautiful scenery.

After walking for a while, you can see a big golden tree, or rather big tree leaves, in the distance.

The tree was very big, with lush branches and leaves, and a crown like a canopy, shining with gold and light. It was truly a sacred tree.

Zhang Wuling walked along the path towards the big tree and soon arrived at his destination.

The elm tree grew in a large open space on the edge of the cliff. When you got close to it and looked up, it almost covered the sky. It was estimated that the tree was nearly a hundred meters tall, truly a towering tree.

In addition, what Zhang Wuling did not expect was that there was a little child under the elm tree, picking up stones on the ground and throwing them at the tree.

Unfortunately, the elm tree was so tall that the child's stone fell down without even touching it.

Zhang Wuling walked forward and asked curiously, "Kid, what are you doing here?"

The child saw someone coming, but he was not alarmed. He turned around and said, "I want to pick elm seeds, but this tree is too high. I can't reach it."

Nonsense, it’s so high, there’s no way a kid like you can hit it.

Zhang Wuling raised his head and looked at the treetop. Although the tree was very tall, it was not difficult for him to throw it up with his cultivation level.

"Give me a try, maybe I can take it down."

"You?" The child looked him up and down. "You can't do it."

"Huh?" Zhang Wuling laughed. "What if I threw it up?"

The child said without hesitation: "Then I will call you dad."
