Chapter 227 The Earth Shakes
Lin Yundan's playful words made Zhang Sanfeng and Leng Xiyue burst into hearty laughter.
As the laughter gradually subsided, Zhang Sanfeng was about to speak: "Layman, young lady..."
But his words were cut off as if by a gentle breeze.
Yun Dan interrupted impatiently, "Junbao, please stop calling me 'Miss'!"
My surname is Lin. You can call me Yun Dan, or you can call me Xiao Ya, it's up to you!
Leng Xiyue also chimed in with a smile, "Yes, yes, senior, please don't keep calling me 'layman'."
My surname is Leng, and my given name is Xiyue. Please just call me Xiyue, senior!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng smiled gently and then cupped his hands in response, saying, "That's fine then, I won't stand on ceremony any longer."
"Yun Dan, Xi Yue, I am Zhang Junbao, my Taoist name is Zhang Sanfeng. From now on, you may address me as such!"
Before Zhang Sanfeng could finish speaking, Yun Dan eagerly interrupted, "I know, I know."
Junbao, you were posthumously honored by the Ming Dynasty emperor as "Qingxu Yuanmiao Zhenjun" and "Tongwei Xianhua Zhenren," and chivalrous people in the martial arts world respectfully call you Zhang Zhenren.
And most importantly, I've heard that your mother and I share the same surname!
Leng Xiyue was quite surprised: "There's such a thing? So you and the senior have some blood ties!"
Yun Dan felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Leng Xiyue said.
"Oh dear, although there is a saying that 'we were one family five hundred years ago'."
But I'm more than seven hundred years removed from Junbao's mother!
Zhang Sanfeng heard Lin Yundan mention his mother.
His gaze suddenly drifted involuntarily to the distance outside the window, and he fell into deep thought.
Seeing Zhang Sanfeng suddenly lose his composure, Yun Dan gently shook his arm and softly called out, "Junbao, Master Zhang!"
Zhang Sanfeng snapped out of his daze, looked at her, and smiled slightly.
“You’re right, my mother’s surname is indeed Lin.”
Looking back, my mother has been gone for over two hundred years.
My father was strict with me when I was young, but my mother would always coax me gently.
Now, time flies, and the past is gone!
Yun Dan comforted him, feeling embarrassed, "Junbao, although your mother is no longer here, her love for you was real!"
You founded the Wudang Sect, making you famous throughout the world. If she knew this in the afterlife, she would surely be very gratified.
Zhang Sanfeng waved his hand, his expression relieved: "Life and death are predestined, and gatherings and separations are impermanent; these are all common sense in the world."
Although my mother has been gone for a long time, those warm memories remain etched in my heart.
Leng Xiyue couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, now that I think about it, I've spent more than twenty years in this valley. Life is truly unpredictable!"
Zhang Sanfeng was somewhat puzzled: "The bottom of the valley? What does that mean?"
Leng Xiyue was about to answer "Senior..."
Zhang Sanfeng interrupted him: "Didn't we say we treat each other as equals? Why are you being so formal?"
Leng Xiyue said, "No, no! Senior is so kind as to not hold it against me, so I must not be impolite!"
Yun Dan suggested from the side, "Uncle Leng, please stop calling Junbao 'senior'."
In Junbao's era, people in the martial arts world called him Master Zhang; you can call him that too!
Leng Xiyue nodded: "In that case, I will address you as Master Zhang! Master, you may not know this place, but this place is called the Abyss of Extremes, the deepest valley in this land."
To get back up from here, one needs not only profound internal strength but also exceptional lightness skills to have any chance of climbing back up.
Yun Dan was so excited to see Zhang Sanfeng that she forgot about the matter.
Upon hearing Leng Xiyue's mention of it, she suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my god, I completely forgot about that! Uncle Leng, can we go outside now!"
Leng Xiyue looked puzzled, as if a question mark had popped into her mind: "Xiao Yundan, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Although you've just broken through to the Great Yuan Realm, your current internal energy is far from sufficient to allow you to run at full speed!
Yun Dan explained, "No, no! I wasn't talking about me!"
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Zhang Sanfeng.
Seeing Yun Dan look at Zhang Sanfeng with a puzzled expression, Leng Xiyue asked, "You're not saying that Master Zhang has the ability to lead us out of the valley, are you?"
Yun Dan countered, "Didn't you sense that Junbao's strength was unfathomable?"
Leng Xiyue shook her head: "No, I didn't mean to belittle Master Zhang."
From the moment I met Master Zhang, the power he exuded only gave me the impression of being at the Great Harmony Realm.
Yun Dan said with a proud look: "Uncle Leng, do you really think that Junbao can live for more than two hundred years just because of the Tai Chi technique he cultivates that prolongs his life?"
Let me tell you, in my time there was a rumor that Zhang Sanfeng had broken through the void and ascended to the immortal realm at the age of 218.
You say Junbao has such rumors about him, isn't he amazing?
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Leng Xiyue triumphantly.
Leng Xiyue suddenly realized: "Could it be that Master Zhang has already cultivated to the state of returning to simplicity and truth?"
Yun Dan was so excited at the thought that Zhang Junbao could take them out that she didn't have time to explain further. She reached out and grabbed Zhang Junbao's hand and walked outside.
"Junbao, let's get out of here quickly. Go and see if you can fly up there."
Zhang Junbao grabbed her hand and said, "Miss Yundan, don't be in such a hurry!"
Yun Dan asked anxiously, "What? You don't want to take us out?"
Zhang Junbao patiently said, "I will naturally take you out, but your mind is too agitated right now. You should calm down and relax first!"
Yun Dan stuck out her tongue sheepishly and stood there trying to calm herself down.
Zhang Sanfeng said gently, "Come, sit down first. We can go and take a look after you've calmed down."
Yun Dan obediently sat back down on the stool.
Leng Xiyue looked at Zhang Sanfeng with a worried expression: "Master Zhang, I must tell you first that the valley floor is tens of thousands of feet above the ground."
"With your current internal strength, are you confident you can climb this ten-thousand-foot-high wall?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Dan suddenly slammed her hand on the table and demanded, "Old man, how dare you doubt Junbao's strength!"
Yun Dan could understand that Leng Xiyue was unaware of Zhang Junbao's strength.
However, she was not happy that he dared to question Zhang Junbao's abilities.
Zhang Junbao was about to speak when he said, "This humble Taoist..."
Before he could finish speaking, suddenly all sorts of animals outside in the distance seemed to go mad and scatter in all directions.
The three of them looked out the window at the same time.
Yun Dan looked at the animals running around in confusion.
"What's going on? Why are they all suddenly running around like this?"
As soon as Yun Dan finished speaking, Zhang Sanfeng reacted extremely quickly.
He instantly stretched out his hands, and before the two could react, he grabbed them by the collar with one hand each, and dragged them both outside.
