The Name of the Immortal Seems to Be Right

Old Ma was lucky; he was found before he could pledge his life to the brown mare. Meng Jingzhou paid the money and took Old Ma and the carriage away.

"No, no, no, it won't cost that much to stay in the stables," the stable boy said, trying to dissuade them.

"Don't you want the money for the feed?" Meng Jingzhou asked, puzzled. Old Ma had already finished the premium feed they brought, and he had assumed that Old Ma was so hungry that he had started eating regular feed.

The servant shook his head. "Your horse hasn't eaten anything."

"Huh?" Meng Jingzhou was puzzled. He stroked the old horse's mane and asked, "Have you been Grain Avoidance?"

Old Ma snorted but didn't answer.

How can a horse talk?

Meng Jingzhou threatened menacingly, "If you don't answer, you won't get any more feed!"

The man and the horse faced off for a long time, but the old horse still didn't answer. Meng Jingzhou was defeated and guessed some things.

He said that when he ran away from home, it went so smoothly. Even his sister knew that he was going to run away from home, so everyone else in the family must have known. No one stopped him or worried that something might happen to him.

If we rule out the possibility that they are not their biological children, then the only explanation is that they know they are safe.

The answer is now obvious: the horses pulling the carriage are the greatest guarantee.

I just don't know Old Ma's cultivation level. He was able to protect himself, so his cultivation level must be quite high.

Meng Jingzhou complained, "You're so strong, why didn't you stop Senior Sister from getting on the carriage back then?"

Meng Jingzhou still remembers how he foolishly mistook his senior sister for a candidate, got her into the car, and told her that he had obtained the original questions for the sect entrance exam.

This is incredibly embarrassing.

If Lao Ma could stop the senior sister, wouldn't everything be fine?

Old Ma glanced at Meng Jingzhou as if he were a fool.

Before leaving, Lu Yang said goodbye to Constable Lu Yang, who was not surprised by their departure.

No cultivator would actually run a barbecue restaurant for their entire life. It's just for novelty; once the novelty wears off, they'll stop running it.

"What a pity, I'll never taste such delicious barbecue again," Officer Wei lamented. "I was counting on arresting people at your barbecue restaurant to help me get promoted to chief constable."

Officer Wei estimated that if he caught three more Devil Cultivator, he would be promoted to chief constable.

"It's good that you've left; things might get turbulent in Yanjiang County soon."

"What's the meaning?"

Officer Wei whispered, "You mustn't tell anyone this."

"I know."

Lu Yang's head constable was still trustworthy. "You know Prefect Li, right? There are rumors that Prefect Li colluded with Devil Cultivator from the demonic Rogue Cultivator or a member of the demonic sect. But his cultivation level must be quite high, otherwise he wouldn't be qualified to cooperate with Prefect Li."

"The body of Prefect Li was found on Songshan Mountain. Chief Constable Fang suspects that there was a conflict of interest between the Devil Cultivator and Prefect Li. Prefect Li is dead, but the Devil Cultivator is still alive, which means that the demonic cultivator's cultivation level is higher than that of Prefect Li. Prefect Li was only one step away from the Nascent Soul Realm. Just think about how high the Devil Cultivator's cultivation level must be!"

Lu Yang shrank his neck. "What a ruthless Devil Cultivator!"

"That's why I said it's a good thing you left. Yanjiang County may seem peaceful, but in reality, Devil Cultivator might be hiding somewhere, right next to us!"

Lu Yang wholeheartedly agreed, "Indeed."

Man Gu reluctantly bid farewell to the barbecue restaurant; the glory of his Man family barbecue business would ultimately not be carried forward in his generation.

The two ghostly servants were overjoyed, celebrating that they would no longer have to barbecue day and night.

Before their departure, Tang Yunsheng saw the three off, urging them to be extremely careful Ask Dao Sect be fraught with difficulties.

Lu Yang said, "Don't worry, old man. The three of us will definitely live up to the organization's trust. We will definitely be able to infiltrate the Ask Dao Sect, steal the secrets, and contribute to the Immortal Sect."

On the carriage, the old horse pulled the cart at a leisurely pace, seemingly moving very slowly, but in reality, it covered a very large distance, which involved extremely profound spatial knowledge.

The three chatted idly in the carriage about the immortals.

"Look, our names are still in the notebook: Immortal Immortal Lu Yang, Immortal Immortal Meng Jingzhou, and Immortal Immortal Man Gu," Lu Yang said with a smile. Seeing his own name in the Demonic Sect's notebook was quite an interesting thing.

He could find information about everyone he knew in the notebook, which showed that the Demonic Sect was very dedicated to resurrecting the immortals.

"What do you think the immortal sage's name is? Mendeleev? Socrates?"

Meng Jingzhou chuckled and said, "Maybe it's a humble name, like 'Dog Egg' or 'Dog Leftover,' something they're ashamed to say aloud, so they hide it and only use respectful titles when speaking to others."

"It could also be the name of our barbarian tribe."

The three of them had no respect for the immortal being and ignored Tang Yuansheng's instruction to guess the immortal's name once a month, so they guessed the name casually.

"Keep it down, everyone. What if we actually manage to find out the Immortal's name?" Lu Yang reminded them. Whether the Immortal is friend or foe is still uncertain, and the claim that the Immortal protects the human race is only one side of the story from the Immortal Cult, so it can't be taken entirely at face value.

"How about this, we'll call the 'Immortal Immortal' 'Immortal Fairy' from now on. That way, even if we pronounce the name correctly, the Immortal Immortal won't be able to be resurrected," Lu Yang suggested.

"Lu Yang makes sense, I agree." Meng Jingzhou raised his hand in agreement.

Man Gu felt that Brother Lu's idea was more comprehensive.

After the carriage had been traveling for a while, the three of them felt hungry, so they got off in a grove of trees to get something to eat.

The grove of trees shielded the irritating sunlight, creating a tranquil atmosphere. The faint chirping of birds in the distance further eased the senses and made one feel relaxed.

Meng Jingzhou laid out a tablecloth, Lu Yang took out pots, pans, and talismans for starting a fire, and Man Gu summoned the courier ghost.

The two ghostly servants had only been unemployed for half a day when they were summoned back to their old Man Gu, skillfully grilling meat.

Meng Jingzhou pulled out a cookbook and a bunch of bottles and jars, and pushed them all at the two ghosts. "Stop making barbecue, let's change things up. Here, you two, make it according to this recipe."

Lu Yang and Man Gu glanced at each other, "Why are you carrying a cookbook?"

The two ghostly companions had no choice but to start learning from scratch, beginning with the simplest thing: scrambled eggs.

If you don't work hard while you're alive, you'll study diligently after you die.

None of the three had any intention of taking Grain Avoidance Pill. Why would they need something like Grain Avoidance Pill when they could eat delicious food?

"Tang Yunsheng guessed that the Immortal Fairy was from your barbarian tribe. Did the Ancient Barbarian Tribe have similar legends?" Lu Yang asked.

Man Gu: "I've heard from my elders that the Ancient Barbarian Tribe fought against the heavens and the earth, and could even fight immortals, but I've never heard of any immortal being born from our tribe."

"That ruin is really strange. It records the greatness of the Immortal Fairy, so why not just write her name on it?"

Meng Jingzhou analyzed logically and with evidence. "Think about it, in High Antiquity times, everyone had awe-inspiring titles and names. Before the battle, everyone would announce their names to each other. If the Immortal Fairy came up and said, 'I am the Immortal Immortal Li Gou Dan,' oh no, it should be Immortal Fairy Li Gou Dan, she has already lost half the battle before even starting to fight!"

"The Immortal Fairy will definitely delete this embarrassing history!"

Lu Yang also laughed and said, "It's possible that the name is too cute and lacks intimidation, like 'Immortal Fairy Huang Doudou' or something like that."

The seven words "Immortal Fairy Huang Doudou" seemed to touch upon a heavenly secret, causing the world to change. An incomprehensible power hovered above the three of them, forming a human figure.

Old Ma, who had been relaxed, suddenly became alert, standing protectively in front of Meng Jingzhou and staring intently at the power above.

The three of them swallowed hard.

Oh no, things seem to have gotten out of hand.
