Eleanor’s Peak of Life and Death Chapter 7

The Peak of Life and Death is hundreds of miles long and magnificent, with corridors stretching endlessly.

As a rising star among the immortal cultivation sects, it is quite different from those famous families in the upper cultivation world.

Take the most prosperous Linyi Rufengmen for example. The main hall is called "Six Virtues Hall", which means that the disciples can be "wise, faithful, holy, righteous, benevolent, and loyal", and have all six virtues. The living area for the disciples is called "Six Actions Gate", which warns the disciples to be "filial, friendly, harmonious, in-law, responsible, and caring" to each other. The place where classes are taught is called "Six Arts Platform", which means that the disciples of Rufengmen need to be proficient in the six skills of "ritual, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics".

In a word, it is elegant to the extreme.

On the other hand, the Peak of Life and Death, as expected of its poor origin, has a name that is hard to describe. "Dianxin Hall" and "Shan'etai" are considered good. It is probably because Asher Mo's father and his uncle really didn't have much education, and later they couldn't think of a few words, so they started to play around and used their talent for naming like "Xue Ya".

Therefore, many names in the Peak of Life and Death are plagiarized from the underworld, such as the dark room where disciples reflect on themselves, which is called the Hall of Yama.

The jade bridge connecting the rest area and the teaching area is called Naihe Bridge. The dining hall is called Mengpo Hall, the martial arts arena is called the sword mountain and fire sea, the forbidden area in the back mountain is called the dead ghost room, and so on.

These are still relatively good. The more remote places are simply called "This is a mountain", "This is water", "This is a pit", and the two famous steep cliffs "Ahhh" and "Wawawawa".

The elders' bedrooms are naturally no exception, and each has its own nickname.

Gabriel Chu was naturally no exception. He liked quietness and did not want to live with others. His residence was built on the South Peak of the Summit of Life and Death, hidden in a sea of     green bamboos. There was a pond in front of the courtyard. The red lotus in the pond blocked the sun. Due to the abundant spiritual power, hibiscus bloomed in the pond all year round, as bright as red clouds.

The disciples secretly called this beautiful place ---

Red Lotus Hell.

Asher Mo couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this.

Who made Gabriel Chu look so naive all day long? When the disciples in the sect see him, they feel like they are seeing a Shura ghost. What else should we call the place where ghosts stay if not hell?

Finnegan Xue interrupted his reverie: "How can you still laugh! Eat your breakfast quickly, and then follow me to the Good and Evil Platform. Master will punish you in public today!"

Asher Mo sighed and touched the whip marks on his face: "Hiss... it hurts."

"Serves you right!"

"Alas, I don't know if Tianwen has been repaired. If it hasn't been repaired, please don't use it to interrogate me again. Who knows what nonsense I will say next."

Faced with Asher Mo's sincere concern, Finnegan Xue's face flushed red, and he said angrily: "If you dare to speak ill of Master in public, I will pull out your tongue!"

Asher Mo covered his face and waved his hands, saying faintly: "No need for you to pull it out, no need for you to pull it out. If Master uses willow vines to tie me up again, I will kill myself on the spot to prove my innocence."

At noon, Asher Mo was brought to the stage of good and evil according to the rules. He looked out and saw a dark blue sea of   people below. The disciples of the Peak of Life and Death were all wearing the robes of their sect, blue and almost black armor, lion-head belts, and the silver edges on the hand guards and hems of their clothes were shining.

The sun rises in the east, and under the stage of good and evil, there is a flash of armor.

Asher Mo knelt on the high platform, listening to Elder Si Lu reading a long letter of accusation in front of him.

"Mo Weiyu, a disciple of Elder Yuheng, has disregarded the law, ignored teachings, disobeyed the sect rules, and lost his moral integrity. He violated the fourth, ninth, and fifteenth precepts of our sect. According to the law, he will be punished with eighty strokes of the cane, copy the sect rules a hundred times, and be confined for one month. Mo Weiyu, do you have anything to say?"

Asher Mo glanced at the white figure in the distance.

He was the only elder in the entire Summit of Life and Death who did not have to wear the uniform blue robe with silver edges.

Gabriel Chu was wearing snow satin and silver mist gauze, as if she was covered in the clear frost of the sky, but she looked even colder than the frost. He sat quietly, a little far away, so Asher Mo couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but he knew that he must be calm.

Taking a deep breath, Asher Mo said, "Nothing to say."

The elder of precepts followed the rules and asked the disciples below: "If anyone is dissatisfied with the verdict, or has a request to make a statement, please do so now."

The disciples below began to hesitate and looked at each other.

None of them had expected that Yuheng Elder Gabriel Chu would actually send his own disciple to the platform of good and evil and punish him in public.

To put it nicely, this is called being impartial and ruthless; to put it bluntly, this is called being a cold-blooded devil.

The cold-blooded demon Gabriel Chu sat there with his chin propped up indifferently. Suddenly, someone used a loudspeaker to shout, "Elder Yuheng, I am willing to plead for Junior Brother Mo."

"...plead?"

The disciple obviously thought that Asher Mo was the nephew of the master, and even if he made a mistake now, his future would still be bright, so he decided to take the opportunity to please Asher Mo. He began to talk nonsense: "Although Junior Brother Mo made a mistake, he is friendly to his fellow disciples and helps the weak. Elder, please treat him leniently because he is not evil by nature!"

Apparently, there was more than one person trying to please Junior Brother Mo.

Gradually, more and more people started to speak up for Asher Mo, with all sorts of reasons, even Asher Mo himself felt embarrassed - when had he ever been so "innocent and empathetic"? This was a disciplinary meeting, not a commendation meeting, right?

"Elder Yuheng, Junior Brother Mo once helped me to eliminate demons and defend the Way, and killed difficult beasts. I would like to ask for merit on behalf of Junior Brother Mo, so that our merits and demerits can be offset. I hope the elder can reduce his sentence!"

"Elder Yuheng, Junior Brother Mo helped me to relieve my inner demons when I was possessed by evil spirits. I believe Junior Brother Mo made a mistake this time because he was confused for a moment. Elder, please reduce the punishment for Junior Brother!"

"Elder Yuheng, Junior Brother Mo once gave me a miraculous elixir to save my mother. He is a kind person. Please punish him lightly!"

The last person's speech was interrupted by the previous one, and he was at a loss for words. Seeing Gabriel Chu's cold eyes sweeping over, he was quick-witted and said without thinking: "Elder Yuheng, Junior Brother Mo once helped me practice dual cultivation---"

"Pfft." Someone couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The disciple immediately blushed and retreated in embarrassment.

"Yuheng, calm down, calm down..." Seeing that the situation was not good, the elder of discipline hurriedly tried to persuade him.

Gabriel Chu said coldly: "I have never seen such a shameless person. What is his name? Whose apprentice is he?"

Jie Lu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said softly: "My little disciple Yao Lian."

Gabriel Chu raised his eyebrows: "Your disciple? Have shame?"

The elder of discipline felt embarrassed and changed the subject with a red face: "He is quite good at chanting, and he can help when we collect him for sacrifice."

Gabriel Chu snorted and turned away, too lazy to waste time talking to this shameless discipline elder.

There are thousands of people on the Peak of Life and Death, and it is normal to have a dozen lackeys.

Seeing how confidently those brothers spoke, Asher Mo almost believed them. Great! It turns out that he is not the only one who is good at lying with open eyes. There are so many talented people in our sect.

After being told countless times "Elder Yuheng, please have mercy," Gabriel Chu finally spoke to his disciples.

"Plead for Mo Weiyu?" He paused and said, "Sure, all of you come up."

Those people didn't understand what was going on and went up trembling with fear.

A golden light flashed in Gabriel Chu's palm, and Tianwen followed his command and rushed out. With a whoosh, he tied up the dozen people into a ball and tied them tightly in place.

Here we go again!!

Asher Mo was almost in despair. His legs went weak when he saw Tian Wen. He really didn't know where Chu Wan Ning got such a perverted weapon. Fortunately, he had never married in his previous life. If any girl was promised to him, she would either be beaten to death or be questioned to death.

Gabriel Chu's eyes were full of sarcasm. He asked one of them, "Did Asher Mo ever help you to eliminate demons and defend the Way?"

The disciple could not bear Tianwen's torture and immediately howled, "No! No!"

Then asked another: "Asher Mo helped you get rid of your obsession?"

"Ahhh!! Never! Never!"

"Asher Mo gave you a panacea?"

"Ah---! Help! No no no! I made it up! I made it up!"

Gabriel Chu untied the ropes, but then raised his hand and swung it fiercely. There was a crackling sound and sparks flew everywhere. Tianwen was suddenly thrown out and hit the lying disciples hard on the backs.

In an instant, screams were heard and blood splattered.

Gabriel Chu frowned and said angrily, "What are you shouting for? Kneel down! Discipline Master!"

"exist."

"Punish me!"

"yes!"

As a result, those people not only did not gain any benefits, but each of them was beaten with ten sticks for violating the rhythm of deception, plus a severe willow vine as an extra punishment by Elder Yuheng.

After nightfall, Asher Mo lay on the bed. Although he had applied medicine, his back was covered with numerous wounds. He couldn't even turn over. He was in so much pain that his eyes were filled with tears and he kept sniffling.

He was born cute, and the way he whimpered and curled up looked like a beaten furry kitten, but it was a pity that his thoughts were not what a kitten should be thinking.

He grabbed the quilt and bit the sheets, imagining that this was Gabriel Chu's grandson. He bit, kicked, kicked, and tore!

The only consolation was that Jasper Shi brought him some homemade dumplings. Staring at him with those gentle and compassionate eyes, Asher Mo's tears fell even more fiercely.

He doesn't care about the saying "men don't shed tears easily". He just likes to act coquettishly with whoever he likes.

"It hurts so much? Can you still get up?" Jasper Shi sat beside his bed and sighed, "Master... he was too cruel. Look at how he beat you... There are several wounds, and the blood hasn't stopped yet."

Asher Mo heard that he felt sorry for himself, and a warm current gradually rose in his chest. He raised his bright eyes from the quilt and blinked.

"Since you care about me so much, I, I won't feel any pain."

"Ah, seeing you like this, how can you not feel pain? You know Master's temper, will you dare to make such a big mistake in the future?"

In the candlelight, the teacher looked at him helplessly and distressedly, his charming eyes full of light, like warm spring water.

Asher Mo's heart was slightly moved, and he said obediently: "Never again. I swear."

"Have you ever taken your oath seriously?" But after all that, Jasper Shi finally smiled, "The wonton has cooled down, can you get up? If you can't get up, lie down and I'll feed you."

Asher Mo had already climbed halfway up, but upon hearing this, he immediately collapsed and became paralyzed.

Teacher: ...

No matter in his last life or this life, Asher Mo's favorite food is the wonton made by Jasper Shi. The skin is as thin as clouds and the filling is as tender as solidified fat. Each one is translucent, plump, smooth, soft and fragrant, melting in the mouth and leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.

The soup is especially delicious, it is milky white and rich, sprinkled with green onions, tender yellow egg shreds, and topped with a spoonful of spicy red oil topping stir-fried with mashed garlic. When you eat it, it feels like it can warm you up for a lifetime.

The teacher fed him carefully, spoonful by spoonful, and while feeding him, she said to him: "I didn't put red oil today. You are seriously injured, and it's not easy to heal with spicy food. Just drink the bone soup."

Asher Mo stared at him, unable to look away, and said with a smile: "Spicy or not, as long as you make it, it's delicious."

"You're really good at talking." Jasper Shi also laughed and picked up a poached egg in the soup, "I'll give you a runny one, I know you like it."

Asher Mo laughed, a bunch of messy hair on his forehead sticking up stupidly, like a flower blooming: "Teacher's dislike."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just calling you."

...

The aho-man is shaking.

"Teacher's ignorance."

The teacher suppressed his laughter: "Just call me?"

"Yeah, I just called you and felt very happy."

The teacher was stunned for a moment, and gently touched his forehead: "This silly child, is he having a fever?"

Asher Mo burst out laughing, half rolled over, and looked at him from the side. His eyes were bright, as if filled with tiny stars.

"It would be great if I could eat wontons made by Jasper Shi every day."

This is not a false statement.

After Jasper Shi's death, Asher Mo always wanted to taste the dragon manuscript he made again, but that feeling would never come back.

At that time, Gabriel Chu had not completely broken up with him. I don't know if it was out of guilt, but seeing Asher Mo kneeling in front of Jasper Shi's coffin in a daze, Gabriel Chu quietly went to the kitchen, kneaded the dough, chopped the stuffing, and carefully wrapped a few wontons. However, before he finished wrapping, Asher Mo saw it. Asher Mo, who had lost his beloved, could not bear it at all. He just felt that Gabriel Chu's behavior was mocking him, imitating him poorly, and deliberately hurting him.

Jasper Shi died, and Gabriel Chu could have saved him, but he refused to lend a helping hand. Afterwards, he even wanted to make dumplings for Jasper Shi and eat them for himself. Did he think that this would make him happy?

He rushed into the kitchen and knocked over all the utensils, and the plump dumplings rolled all over the floor.

He yelled at Gabriel Chu: "Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of the things he used? Are you worthy of cooking the dishes he cooked? Master Mei is dead, are you satisfied? Do you have to drive all your disciples to death and crazy before you are satisfied? Gabriel Chu! No one in the world can make that bowl of wonton anymore. No matter how much you imitate, you can never be like him!"

Now, he ate this bowl with both joy and emotion. He ate slowly until the end, and although he was still smiling, his eyes were a little wet. Fortunately, the candlelight was dim, and the teacher could not see his subtle expression clearly.

Asher Mo said: "Master."

"Um?"

"Thank you."

The teacher was stunned, then smiled gently and said, "Isn't it just a bowl of wonton? As for being so polite to me, if you like it, I will make it for you often in the future."

Asher Mo wanted to say, it’s not just to thank you for a bowl of wonton.

I also want to thank you. Whether in the last life or this life, you are the only one who truly respects me. You don’t mind my background or the fourteen years I have been struggling outside and using any means necessary.

I also want to thank you. If I hadn't suddenly thought of you, after my rebirth, I would probably have killed Quinn Rong, made another big mistake, and gone back to my old ways.

Fortunately, in this life, I was reborn before you died. I will definitely protect you well. If you are in trouble and Gabriel Chu, that cold-blooded devil, is unwilling to save you, I still have me.

But how can I say these words?

In the end, Asher Mo just gulped down all the soup, not even a scallion was left, and then he licked his lips with satisfaction. His dimples were deep, and he looked as cute as a fluffy kitten.

"Are there any tomorrow?"

The teacher didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't you want to change something else? Aren't you tired of it?"

"I never get tired of eating this every day, I'm just afraid you'll find me annoying."

The teacher shook his head and smiled: "I don't know if there is enough flour. If not, I'm afraid it won't work. If not, how about some sugar-water eggs? They're also what you like."

"Okay, okay. As long as you do it, anything is fine."

Asher Mo's heart was filled with joy, and he was so happy that he wanted to roll around in his blanket.

Look how virtuous Jasper Shi is, Gabriel Chu, you can beat me up! Anyway, I'm lying in bed and there's a beauty caring for me, hehehe!

Thinking of his master, he couldn't help but feel a bit of anger mixed in with his tenderness.

Asher Mo began to pick at the cracks in the bed again with resentment, thinking, what Wan Ye Yu Heng, what Bei Dou Xian Zun, they are all Fcuking Bullsh!t!

Gabriel Chu, let's wait and see what happens in this life!
