Chapter 393: 【160】Seeing God Without Decay, Half-Step Immortal_4
"Ah!!! So thrilling! This is even more exhilarating than roller coasters and drop towers!"
In Wang Longhu’s arms, coki’s hair flew wildly as she lay on his shoulder, looking at the thousand-meter-high sheer cliff below.
Her face was pale with fright, but she also showed a trace of excitement.
She clung tightly to Wang Longhu’s waist, not daring to loosen her grip even a little.
You know, although roller coasters are thrilling, at least they have seatbelts and various safety measures.
Wang Longhu was simply holding coki with one arm; if he were to loosen his grip even slightly,
coki would directly experience the sensation of wingsuit flying and parachute jumping without a parachute.
Being smashed to pieces would be a mild outcome.
Wang Longhu glanced at coki in his arms with a strange expression. If it were an average woman, she would have closed her eyes in terror and wouldn’t dare open them, or maybe even fallen asleep on the spot by now.
How could anyone be both scared and entertained like her?
Speaking of roller coasters reminded Wang Longhu of the time a few years ago, just after he graduated from university, when he went to Su Province’s Diao State Dinosaur Park with his friends and rode a roller coaster.
That was the only roller coaster Wang Longhu had ever ridden in his life, and at the time, it almost scared him out of his wits.
One must admit, the 360-degree rotating seats on Diao State’s roller coaster, combined with its tumbles and spins, were truly exhilarating.
But now, even standing on a cliff thousands of meters high, Wang Longhu’s mood was calm and peaceful.
During the training in Min Province’s primeval forests at that time, he had already pushed his fear-of-heights threshold to an exaggerated level.
Now, unless Wang Longhu were to jump out of a plane, he really wouldn’t feel nervous.
"Mommy! There’s an Ultraman!"
On the mountain path, a little boy wearing a sun hat equipped with an electric fan suddenly shouted in shock.
In his naive eyes, he saw two figures climbing rapidly on the distant mountain wall. In almost one jump, those two figures had leaped over ten meters.
This scene directly refreshed the worldview of this child not yet seven years old.
The nearby adults instinctively looked in the direction the boy pointed, but it was empty, with nothing there.
"What Ultraman; stop watching so many cartoons, you’ll start lying,"
the boy’s mother immediately gave her child two slaps on the buttocks, and suddenly the area filled with the sound of crying.
The young boy steadfastly insisted that he really saw an Ultraman, unable to understand why these adults just wouldn’t believe him.
After a sprint, Wang Longhu and his group arrived at the secluded Zhenwu Temple.
Daoist Tianle trembled as he walked towards the temple gate. Before he entered, he saw a young Daoist with a broom walking out.
"Sir, may I ask who you are?" Daoist Changfeng looked at the old man in front of him and asked with confusion.
He had seen visitors who came to Zhenwu Temple to burn incense, but had never seen someone coming with red eyes and trembling, as if they had found a long-lost enemy who owed them five million.
When Wang Longhu had last come around, Daoist Changfeng did not recognize who Daoist Tianle was.
Now seeing him in person, not recognizing him was perfectly normal.
Wang Longhu walked over, and as soon as Daoist Changfeng saw him, he happily waved his hand, "Yo, Wang Longhu, long time no see."
"Is Celestial Martial Arts Daoist in? I’ve brought back an old friend for him," Wang Longhu smiled.
"He is. I’ll go call my master."
Soon, in response to Daoist Changfeng’s call, a disheveled Celestial Martial Arts Daoist wobbled out.
Before he could ask Wang Longhu what the matter was, the moment Daoist Tianle came into view, Celestial Martial Arts Daoist froze.
He looked incredulously at the familiar face before him, the familiar person.
"Tian, Tianle Junior Brother..." At this moment, Celestial Martial Arts Daoist’s voice was trembling as he spoke.
He even reached up to rub his eyes, wondering if he was dreaming, if all of this was just a dream.
"Senior Brother, I’ve come back."
With one sentence from Daoist Tianle, Celestial Martial Arts Daoist burst into tears.
He never thought that the junior brother, who had been missing with no news for ten years, had come back alive, appearing alive before him. Thank the Zhenwu Ancestor for this blessing.
"Junior Brother, I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime."
Wang Longhu led coki and Daoist Changfeng into the temple, leaving this space for the two brothers. They hadn’t seen each other for ten years; surely, they had much to talk about.
If there were young people watching from the side, these two old fellows would surely restrain their emotions and fail to express themselves fully.
"Longhu, where have you been all this time? And you’ve brought back a girlfriend, very pretty."
Walking to the backyard, Daoist Changfeng asked candidly.
"Ahem, she’s not my girlfriend. You as a Daoist truly lack observational skills," Wang Longhu shook his head. "That room I stayed in last time—is it empty now? Let me stay for a night."
"No one’s there; we don’t get visitors here at Zhenwu Temple. Stay wherever you like," Daoist Changfeng shook his head earnestly.
Ever since Jiang Tianzhen unintentionally inspired Wang Longhu with an idea about Condensing Pill in the Upper Dantian, he hadn’t had much time to ponder these matters deeply.
Now, with the Heaven and Earth Alliance acting unreliably, the situation seemed to have changed. Wang Longhu planned to take advantage of the rare free time to study the feasibility of Condensing Pill in the Upper Dantian thoroughly.
"What about her..." Daoist Changfeng looked at coki, unsure of how to arrange things for her.
