Chapter 68 Revisiting Hangzhou

Bodhi Patriarch truly deserves to be called the most powerful supernatural being, possessing boundless magical power and cultivation that reaches the heavens and the earth.

In the original Journey to the West, the Bodhi Patriarch created a supernatural power simply by observing how the Monkey King climbed the clouds.

Red-level divine ability - Somersault Cloud!

The Monkey King can somersault 108,000 li in one leap, enough to travel to the North Sea in the morning and bathe in the Cangwu Mountain in the evening.

In the original work, few creatures' escape techniques can compare to the Somersault Cloud.

This demonstrates the extraordinary power of Patriarch Bodhi.

Of course, Monkey King's fellow disciples are also truly unfathomable.

After witnessing the power of the Somersault Cloud, he even joked, "If we send Monkey King to deliver documents, he can at least make a living."

People can't help but laugh.

Upon hearing that the Bodhi Patriarch intended to bestow upon him the method of flying through the clouds, Xu Xian immediately bowed in gratitude.

Patriarch Bodhi smiled and said, "You already possess cultivation, so you should also have the ability to fly through the clouds. Show it to your master."

"yes!"

As Xu Xian chanted the incantation, golden clouds rose from beneath his feet, carrying him into the air.

It is a purple-level divine ability—Wild Goose Stepping on Clouds!

Upon seeing this supernatural power, Patriarch Bodhi smiled and nodded: "It can be considered a minor method, allowing young children to become familiar with flying through the clouds."

"..."

Xu Xian thought to himself that this "Wild Goose Stepping on the Clouds" technique was a purple-level divine ability, which would be considered powerful in the eyes of any cultivator.

Unexpectedly, in the eyes of the Bodhi Patriarch, such supernatural powers could only be used by young children.

Xu Xian immediately cupped his hands in greeting: "Master, please grant me the true supernatural power of riding the clouds and mist."

Bodhi Patriarch nodded: "You are capable of flying on clouds, so I will bestow upon you a golden light to help you fly."

Xu Xian saw Bodhi Patriarch lightly flick his whisk, and a golden light shot straight to his feet before disappearing.

[Congratulations to player Xu Xian for acquiring the supernatural power [Jade Terrace Golden Cloud] (Red)]

Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, then used the incantation of "Wild Goose Stepping on Clouds" again.

Suddenly, golden light shone brightly beneath his feet.

A cloud, resembling a golden jade terrace, appeared out of thin air, carrying Xu Xian straight up to the heavens.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Xian had already arrived at Shishi Mountain!

He looked down at the mountain scenery, opened his mouth, and exclaimed, "As expected of Bodhi Patriarch's supernatural powers, they are truly terrifying!"

Xu Xian rode the golden clouds of the Jade Terrace back to Fangcun Mountain, where he knelt before Patriarch Bodhi and said, "Thank you, Master!"

Bodhi Patriarch nodded: "Your comprehension is truly remarkable. Go on, take care of your matter first."

"yes!"

Xu Xian took a deep breath and rode the golden clouds of Yaotai eastward.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived above Hangzhou.

Xu Xian sensed the bustling atmosphere of Hangzhou and, after a short search, found his sister's house.

"My sister is getting old after all."

In Xu Xian's consciousness, his sister's house had not changed much, except that a few more younger people had appeared.

Xu Jiaorong and Li Gongfu are very old, but they are still in good spirits.

Besides the two people, there was also a middle-aged woman.

It was none other than Xu Xian's niece—Li Bilian!

Li Bilian's husband was a middle-aged scholar. The two of them, along with a boy and a girl, were talking to Xu Jiaorong.

Xu Xian descended from the cloud and listened attentively.

-------

"Mother, we've come back to see you."

"Grandma~"

Li Bilian and her two children surrounded Xu Jiaorong, chattering excitedly.

Xu Jiaorong was naturally happy.

She touched this and looked at that, beaming, "Okay, okay..."

Xu Jiaorong said "okay" a couple of times, then her face suddenly fell with worry: "If only your uncle could come back and visit."

At this time, several decades had passed since Xu Xian went to the capital to take the imperial examination, and there had been no news of him.

Xu Jiaorong knew that monsters were causing trouble in the world, and that her younger brother might have met with misfortune.

But she still held onto a sliver of hope that her younger brother was not dead.

Upon hearing Xu Jiaorong's words, the two children were filled with curiosity: "Who is your uncle?"

Xu Jiaorong patted their heads: "You should call him great-uncle. He's very talented and amazing..."

At this point, Xu Jiaorong thought of Xu Xian again and couldn't help but shed tears.

Li Bilian and her son-in-law were naturally comforted.

Li Gongfu also sighed heavily, unsure of what to say.

Since Xu Xian disappeared without a trace, Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong have really spent a lot of time and energy.

Li Gongfu entrusted the search to the post stations along the way, and Xu Jiaorong even followed the escort agency all the way to the capital.

Unfortunately, they never found any trace of Xu Xian.

Li Gongfu wanted to set up a memorial tablet for Xu Xian in his home, but Xu Jiaorong refused.

"My poor brother is still alive, what kind of image is this, displaying a memorial tablet?"

Li Gongfu naturally retorted, "What if Hanwen has unfortunately perished, and there's no memorial tablet or incense offerings? Do you want him to become a wandering ghost?"

The two argued, neither willing to give in.

Li Gongfu finally gave up.

Several years later, he discovered that Xu Jiaorong was secretly worshipping Xu Xian, and he felt the same sorrow in his heart.

Over the years, Li Bilian was born, grew up, married a scholar in Hangzhou, and had two more children.

It can be considered a satisfactory outcome.

This made Xu Jiaorong feel a little better.

Unfortunately, the matter of Xu Xian remained a thorn in her heart.

I'm afraid I won't be able to die in peace.

Xu Xian, perched atop a cloud, looked at his sister's frail and aged appearance, and felt a deep sorrow in his heart.

He descended from the clouds and landed directly in the courtyard.

This truly terrified everyone in the courtyard.

Li Bilian shielded the two children behind her and shouted, "Who are you? Why are you in my house?"

Li Bilian's husband stood in front of the crowd, facing Xu Xian directly: "You are not welcome in my home, please leave immediately."

The two men frowned, staring fiercely at Xu Xian, but sensed something was amiss.

Because Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong had fallen silent.

Li Gongfu was the head constable of Qiantang County. Even though he was old, he was still skilled in martial arts.

Logically speaking, not many people should dare to cause them trouble.

Even if there were some petty thieves, Li Gongfu could easily deal with them.

But now, Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong seemed to have lost their voices and said nothing.

Li Bilian looked over in confusion and saw her father staring wide-eyed, seemingly stunned.

The mother's mouth was agape, her chest heaving violently, and tears streaming down her face.

"Father, Mother, this is...?"

Before Li Bilian could finish speaking, Xu Xian flashed into the ancestral hall and knelt down before his parents' memorial tablets.

After paying respects to his parents, Xu Xian came before Xu Jiaorong and knelt down as well.

He held Xu Jiaorong's hands, choking back tears, and said, "Sister, I'm back..."

At this point, Xu Jiaorong finally realized what was happening.

She didn't have time to think about why Xu Xian's appearance hadn't changed, nor did she want to ask what Xu Xian had gone through over the years.

Xu Jiaorong simply opened her arms, embraced Xu Xian, and burst into tears.

Li Gongfu also said to his daughter and son-in-law, "This man, this man is your uncle."

Li Bilian and her husband looked at Xu Xian's appearance and indeed found him to resemble her sister by seven or eight points.

But the problem is, Xu Xian looks so young, how could he possibly be her uncle?

Xu Jiaorong hugged Xu Xian and cried for a while before finally asking him about the things that had happened over the years.

Xu Xian then brought up the story of the Rotten Chess Game and said, "Sister, I got lost in a mountain. Fortunately, an immortal saved me and allowed me to cultivate in the mountain. Only after I have completed my cultivation can I descend. It's a pity that my wife is still cultivating and cannot come with me."

Seeing that Xu Xian's appearance had not changed, Xu Jiaorong naturally believed his words, and her expression became flustered.

"Hanwen, hide quickly! A monster has appeared in Hangzhou recently, and it's been capturing cultivators everywhere. It also says it wants to find the white and green snakes or something."

Xu Xian's face darkened.

monster?

What kind of monster is so audacious?

They're really courting death!
