------------
Longhu Mountain, the forbidden area in the back mountain.
This place is shrouded in mist all year round, and apart from the Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei, even ordinary disciples are not allowed to approach it at will.
Everyone assumed this place was forbidden, but no one knew exactly what was forbidden.
In front of a stone cave covered in moss, sat a withered old monkey covered in scraggly fur.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, the old monkey abruptly dropped the pine cone in its hand, frantically kowtowed towards the cave, and squeaked incoherently.
"Boom!"
The Dragon-Slaying Stone, sealed for eighty years, slowly rose.
As the smoke cleared, what emerged was not an elderly man in his twilight years, but a young man who looked to be only in his early twenties.
He wore a faded old Taoist robe, his hair was as black as ink, and his eyes were as clear as a bottomless ancient well.
[Ding! Detected that host "Su Wuxian" has completed the final mission: eighty years of seclusion at Longhu Mountain, awaiting the chosen one of the era, Zhang Chulan.]
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the maximum level rewards: Six Treasures Immortal Thief (Perfect Version), Dual-Handed Techniques (Ultimate Version), and Primordial Qi (Great Perfection).]
[All system tasks have been completed. This system will be unbound soon. We wish you a pleasant time in this world.]
The voice in his mind dissipated, and Su Wuxian stretched, his bones cracking like popping beans.
"Eighty years..."
Su Wuxian exhaled a breath of stale air, looked at the familiar mountain scenery before him, and a smile curved his lips.
Eighty years ago, he traveled to the world of "Under One Person" and became the junior brother of Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Huaiyi.
Before he could even enjoy himself, the system forced him to seclude himself in a cave for a full eighty years!
The mission was said to be a period of seclusion, awaiting the emergence of Zhang Chulan, the chosen one of the era.
However, Su Wuxian knew that this was probably because the system didn't want him to participate in the Jia Shen Rebellion and rewrite the course of history.
Over the past eighty years, the outside world has undergone tremendous changes.
The Jia Shen Rebellion had long since ended; the thirty-six bandits were either dead or had fled. Zhang Zhiwei, the eldest brother who loved him the most, should have, according to his own trajectory, become a "peerless master" who was renowned throughout the world.
In retrospect, the timing was just right.
And the second senior brother, Tian Jinzhong...
Previously, the system forced him to go into seclusion, and he had no way to stop his second senior brother from going to find Zhang Huaiyi.
Thinking of this, the languid look in Su Wuxian's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling glint.
"It's time for Second Brother's hands and feet to grow back."
......
The Celestial Master's Mansion is a quiet and secluded courtyard.
Two elderly people, whose combined age is over two hundred, are sunbathing.
One of them, dressed in a golden robe and tall and imposing, was none other than the number one person in the world today, the Old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei.
Opposite him sat a gaunt old man in a wheelchair, his limbs severed—it was Tian Jinzhong.
"Senior brother, the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is about to begin. This time, you've made quite a commotion to lure out that bastard Huaiyi." Tian Jinzhong's voice was weak, but it revealed a deep concern.
Zhang Zhiwei picked up his teacup and blew away the foam: "Hahahaha, what's with this lifeless world of supernatural beings? There should be some commotion! Jinzhong, don't worry about it. As long as I, this old Taoist, am alive, Longhu Mountain will remain in chaos."
"But those sorcerers of the Quanxing Sect..."
"You're here just in time. Let's slap a few of them to liven things up," Zhang Zhiwei said casually. "Jinzhong, you're still underestimating my strength..."
Tian Jinzhong gave a wry smile. He knew Zhang Zhiwei all too well what kind of person he was.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly frowned: "Senior brother, do you sense a... very familiar aura?"
Zhang Zhiwei's hand suddenly trembled, and scalding hot tea splashed onto the back of his hand, but he was completely unaware of it.
This old man, who stood at the pinnacle of the supernatural world, suddenly stood up.
He stared intently at the direction of the courtyard gate, his usually calm face now showing an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
"This energy... how is this possible? Is it him?"
The wooden gate to the courtyard creaked open.
Sunlight shone on the young Taoist priest at the door, casting a long shadow.
Su Wuxian stepped into the courtyard and looked at the two dumbfounded old men inside.
He flashed a bright smile, just like he did eighty years ago.
"Eldest brother, second brother, it's been a long time."
Quiet.
A deathly silence.
Tian Jinzhong trembled all over, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes.
Because there were no hands to wipe them away, she could only let her tears soak her clothes.
The figure at the door overlapped with the figure in his memory.
In a hoarse voice, he called out the name that had haunted his dreams for eighty years:
"Junior Brother... Junior Brother? You're Su Wuxian?"
"You...you...I thought you..."
Su Wuxian scratched his head: "You thought I was dead, didn't you, Second Senior Brother..."
The golden light in Zhang Zhiwei's eyes suddenly intensified, and he took a step to stand in front of Su Wuxian, looking his junior brother up and down, whose appearance had not changed at all.
"Do you know what the consequences will be for impersonating me as your junior brother?"
A white arc of electricity flashed in Zhang Zhiwei's hand. If the person in front of him said even one wrong word, his hand would strike his head without hesitation.
"Senior Brother, you can't forget your junior brother just because you've become the Celestial Master!" Su Wuxian said helplessly. "I'm hungry, are there any steamed buns left?"
Steamed bun?
Zhang Zhiwei's usually calm expression finally showed a slight change.
Oh, so the kid chasing after him really liked steamed buns...
This is a secret that no one knows.
"Is it really you, you brat? You...you've emerged from seclusion?"
Even someone as powerful as the Old Celestial Master had a tremor in his voice at this moment.
Before his death, besides entrusting Tian Jinzhong with his affairs, the thing his master was most worried about was this little apprentice who had locked himself in the back mountain.
"I'm out of seclusion." Su Wuxian nodded with a smile, then his gaze passed over Zhang Zhiwei and landed on Tian Jinzhong in the wheelchair.
Looking at Tian Jinzhong's empty sleeves and trouser legs, Su Wuxian's smile faded, and he said softly:
"Second Brother, I said before I went into seclusion that when I came out, I would take you to eat steamed buns and roast chicken down the mountain."
Tian Jinzhong shook his head, crying, "Junior brother, I'm... a cripple now, I can't eat anymore."
"Who said he's a useless person?"
Su Wuxian walked a few steps to the wheelchair and slowly squatted down.
Under the shocked gazes of Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong, a strange light, a mixture of red and blue, appeared on Su Wuxian's palm.
What is this... Qi?
"Senior Brother, please protect me during the Dharma."
Su Wuxian looked up at Zhang Zhiwei, his tone calm yet exuding an undeniable air of dominance:
"Today, even the King of Hell can't save Second Brother's disability, that's what I said."
"I will make my second senior brother's severed limbs regenerate!"
Zhang Zhiwei's pupils suddenly contracted.
Limb regeneration?
This is... a dual-wielding hand?
This red and blue energy...
How come my junior brother has both hands?
"good!"
Without uttering a single word, Zhang Zhiwei unleashed a burst of golden light that instantly enveloped the entire courtyard.
"Junior brother, go ahead and attack! Not even a fly will be able to get into Dragon Tiger Mountain today!"
Su Wuxian placed his palm on Tian Jinzhong's severed arm.
"Second Brother, it might be a little itchy, just bear with it."
next second.
Tian Jinzhong's eyes widened suddenly. He felt a tingling, burning heat emanating from the wound that had been dormant for decades!
The bones are growing!
The meridians are reconnecting!
Eighty years of regret, now comes to an end!
[Note: The protagonist of this book is invincible, possessing the pro-max version of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, the Golden Light Mantra of Longhu Mountain, and thunder magic—he knows everything. Sometimes it's not that he doesn't use them, but rather that they're unnecessary.]
[Further note: I've seen many people say this is another nanny story, so let me explain: The protagonist is a righteous character, the legitimate junior master of Longhu Mountain, invincible and playful. Therefore, whether he's protecting Zhang Chulan, guiding Wang Ye, or mentoring juniors, it's all done as he pleases. He doesn't go there specifically; he just goes wherever he wants. So, there's no question of him being a nanny. But speaking of nannies—don't you think Zhang Chulan is more like the protagonist's nanny? Hahaha]
