Transmigrating to another world, starting as a mountain god

The three of them drank tea in a rather awkward atmosphere.

The middle-aged man in white simply reached out and wiped his hand in the air, and an exquisite jade cup appeared out of thin air.

Li Yuan poured him a cup of tea and asked with a smile:

"May I ask your esteemed name?"

The Liangshan Mountain God, standing to the side, was unusually silent, sitting upright and quietly wiping away sweat.

The middle-aged man in white smiled, exuding an indescribable air of nobility.

My name is Zhang Tiansheng.

He was a carefree Taoist priest.

Li Yuan casually gave an "oh," then turned to look at the Liangshan Mountain God:

"I'll leave my things with you for now and come back for them later."

The mountain god of Liangshan became anxious instead:

"Why are you leaving me here? Take it away immediately! I only want to fulfill my duty, protect the common people, and educate the creatures in the mountains!"

Li Yuan rolled his eyes: "There's no conflict."

"I also want to go and extort money from other places... cough cough, and learn about the customs and culture of other places."

"I will come to collect it on my return trip."

Having said that, Li Yuan was too lazy to argue with the Liangshan Mountain God any longer. He gave the middle-aged man in white a polite smile and turned to leave.

The mountain god of Liangshan stood up, his eyes pleading, hoping that Li Yuan would not leave.

Just kidding, once Li Yuan leaves, won't he be facing that person alone?

To everyone's surprise, Zhang Tiansheng suddenly smiled.

"I also wish to travel the world. I wonder if you could take me with you to broaden my horizons?"

The mountain god of Liangshan felt a chill run down his spine!

Is this an inspection tour?

Furthermore, sir, aren't you afraid of shortening someone's lifespan by having them show you the world?

After thinking for a moment, the Liangshan Mountain God quietly scratched his head.

Everyone here seems to be a god, just casually folding things.

Li Yuan frowned slightly upon receiving the 'travel invitation' from Zhang Tiansheng, a middle-aged man in white.

"I have to take care of the child."

Now Zhang Tiansheng became curious.

“This old man is the mountain god of Liangshan. I observed that you were on equal footing with him during your conversation, so you must also be a deity.”

"If they are gods, where did they get children from?"

Li Yuan was slightly surprised: "As expected of a highly skilled and extraordinary person in the mortal world, he remains calm even when talking about immortals."

Zhang Tiansheng smiled slightly.

“I found the child. I took pity on him and felt a connection with him, so I took care of him.”

Li Yuan told the truth.

Zhang Tiansheng asked another question:

"Immortals and gods live forever. If you raise a mortal child, how sad would you be when he grows up, grows old, and passes away?"

"What good will this do you, besides adding to your sadness?"

"In my opinion, instead of focusing on being a mortal, it would be better to concentrate on cultivating the divine path and ascend to the heavens as soon as possible."

Li Yuan was a little annoyed.

Why is this middle-aged man asking so many questions?

It's not like you're the one raising it!

After thinking for a moment, Li Yuan said unhappily:

"In the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, all living beings have a reason for existence!"

"Immortals and gods have eternal lifespans, therefore their social classes are fixed, they lack ambition, and they are stubborn and corrupt!"

"And it is precisely because mortal life is short that they will stumble and fall, and make progress, thus bursting forth with brilliant light within their limited lifespan!"

"This spark of life is enough for the gods and immortals to remember in their eternal lives!"

The mountain god of Liangshan was completely dumbfounded.

Kid, do you know who you're educating?

M, I should just shut you up!

Zhang Tiansheng's expression darkened at first, but then he recovered.

He frowned slightly: "The spark of life?"

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tiansheng chuckled.

"That's an interesting thing to say."

Li Yuan glanced at him, then turned and left.

The mountain god of Liangshan wanted to say something, but was stopped by a look from Zhang Tiansheng.

Once Li Yuan's figure was out of sight, Zhang Tiansheng stood on the mountaintop with his hands behind his back, overlooking the entire Liangshan Mountain.

The mountain god of Liangshan knelt down with a thud:

"This humble deity pays respects to the Heavenly Emperor!"

The Heavenly Emperor, using the alias Zhang Tiansheng, glanced at him lightly.

"I wish to secretly patrol the human realm."

With just a casual remark, the Jade Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor, dispelled all of Liangshan Mountain God's ideas.

The phrase "secret patrol" already explains everything.

If this lord's whereabouts are ever revealed, Liangshan Mountain God, as the first minor deity to know, will surely lose his life.

On the other side, Li Yuan didn't want Li Xiaoan to wait long, so he quickly took him down the mountain.

"Xiao An, we're leaving here. Are you sure you want to come with me?"

Standing on the edge of the county town, Li Yuan asked.

Li Xiaoan was silent for a moment, then said, "I want to go and pay my respects to my mother."

Li Yuan simply patted his little head: "Good boy."

Li Xiaoan led Li Yuan to a low hill, on which a small earthen mound was where Li Xiaoan's mother was buried.

After offering incense and kowtowing, Li Xiaoan cried for a long time before reluctantly getting up and following Li Yuan away.

Although he was young, he remembered that his mother had tried her best to take care of him and had given everything.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves.

In a daze, Li Yuan seemed to see a phantom figure kneeling beside a small mound, bowing deeply to him.

"Ugh......"

Li Yuan sighed.

The most heartless thing in the world is the separation of life and death, mother and child.

Li Yuan bought a horse-drawn carriage in the county town. As soon as he left the mountain, he saw a figure in white waiting ahead.

"May I have the honor of traveling with you, young friend?"

Seeing the smile on Zhang Tiansheng's face, Li Yuan instinctively wanted to refuse.

But after hesitating for a moment, he changed his mind:

"Meeting is fate, and traveling together is also good."

Zhang Tiansheng smiled and leaped onto the carriage.

Even when he was just sitting quietly in the carriage, he exuded an air of nobility.

Li Yuan drove the car, glanced back, and thought to himself:

This person is elegant in demeanor and exudes a noble air; he might be of royal blood who has secretly run away to have some fun.

But which member of the royal family would practice Taoism?

I really can't figure it out.

As the carriage traveled through the mountains and forests, when it encountered treacherous and difficult places, Li Yuan would use his immortal power to control the carriage to fly over them if no one was around.

Li Xiaoan sat in the car, feeling extremely excited.

"Uncle Zhang, look, we're flying!"

Li Xiaoan excitedly tugged at Zhang Tiansheng's sleeve, pointing to the birds and clouds beside the car.

Zhang Tiansheng frowned and tried to pull his sleeve back without hurting the child, but he found that he couldn't pull it back without hurting the child.

Left with no other choice, he could only watch and admire this 'spectacle'.

after a little while.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm hungry."

Li Xiaoan bit her finger, her eyes wide open, and looked at the bag of dry food under Zhang Tiansheng's seat.

Zhang Tiansheng blinked slightly.

What does this mean?

Li Xiaoan then pointed to the bag under Zhang Tiansheng's seat: "Uncle Zhang, could you please get me some dry rations?"

"You're blocking my way, I can't get it."

Zhang Tiansheng smiled.

You want me to bend over?

There was an inexplicable meaning behind his words.

Seeing his hesitation, Li Xiaoan thought for a moment.

Is this Uncle Zhang in poor health and unable to bend over?

Master Li Yuan taught us to respect the elderly and care for the young, and to be considerate of those who are sick or disabled!

I need to take care of Uncle Zhang!

"Is Uncle Zhang getting old? Is his back not working well?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tiansheng's eyes widened in surprise.

Before he could say anything, Li Xiaoan smiled brightly:

"It's alright, Uncle Zhang, don't move, don't hurt your back, I'll get it myself!"

As he spoke, Li Xiaoan squatted down, reaching into the bag of dry rations.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Tiansheng pushed Li Xiaoan aside.

"What nonsense are you spouting, kid!"

"My waist... is the best in the three realms!"

Zhang Tiansheng patted his waist proudly.

After saying that, Zhang Tiansheng twisted his waist in a spiral motion and retrieved the object in a fancy way.

Without moving his feet, he spiraled forward, his head and hands reaching under the carriage seat.

Li Xiaoan was stunned:

"Uncle Zhang is awesome!"

Zhang Tiansheng maintained his posture and gave a disdainful snort:

"what is this!"

Just then, Li Yuan lifted the carriage curtain.

Upon looking at it, I was immediately shocked.

"Holy crap, this middle-aged man, holy crap!"

"Who says people lose their strength in middle age? That's all a damn rumor!"

"These kidneys, holy crap, they're twisted up like a pretzel!"
