Chapter 177 Calm Down Everyone (Happy New Year!!!)
When they arrived in Xiqi, Lei Zhenzi bid farewell to Nezha and, following his master’s instructions, returned to Zhongnan Mountain.
He handed the letter to Yun Zhongzi.
Yun Zhongzi rubbed the rough, dark yellow paper with his hand and, with his wisdom, immediately understood what it was. He thought to himself that there were indeed many clever people in the world and felt pleased.
He muttered to himself, "If only the pulping process were a bit more meticulous, it could be even better."
After saying this, he read the letter on the paper. After reading it, he laughed and said, "Silly child, who doesn’t know what you’ve mentioned? However, you are the Outer Heaven Demon and have offended the Chan Sect and Taiyi Zhenren, and this is your original sin."
...
Ji Chang and Bo Yikao returned to their homeland, and all of Xiqi celebrated. The old woman, Tai Ji, led a group of Ji Chang’s wives, while on the other side, the pale-faced Ji Fa brought along a group of younger brothers.
Two red banners fluttered in the breeze, with Great General Nangong Shi on the left and Upper Doctor San Yisheng on the right, leading the four sages, eight handsome men, thirty-six warriors, Xin Jia, Xin Mian, and several others were all present.
As soon as they met, the second son, Ji Fa, stepped forward, knelt on the ground respectfully, and said, "Father, you were tethered in a foreign land, and elder brother went far to Zhaoge. As the days and nights alternated, I, Ji Fa, being your son, could not share your worries and burdens, which truly makes me a sinner under heaven and earth. I hope Father will forgive me, and elder brother will understand. Today, seeing your kind face and witnessing your good health fills me with great comfort."
Seeing that every one of his sons was well, Ji Chang, with tears in his aged eyes, helped Ji Fa from the ground.
