The Sect Leader's Little Apprentice

Yun Shan wasn’t even a month old when he became the little master of Yunling Temple. The little monsters on the mountain were at a loss. How were they supposed to raise a human baby? After discussing it, the monsters decided to go to a human village to learn how to grow crops, weave cloth, and care for a child. They also had to keep the temple’s incense burning for their little master. Disguised as a family, they carried the tiny master down the mountain and boldly followed a woman into her courtyard. They temporarily mooched off her, getting milk, learning to cook, and scrimping and saving to build a house for little Yun Shan. Villagers came to Yunling Temple for help: Please, mighty immortal, make the well in my home yield water! The monsters hurried to the villager’s house that very night and discovered the well had been dug too shallow. They rolled up their sleeves, changed into their true forms, and dug right there. Before leaving, they even carried away the dirt they’d excavated. The next day, the villager saw water in the well and couldn’t help exclaiming, “Yunling Temple really works wonders!” Three years later, four-year-old Yun Shan tightened his pant legs, slung a little peachwood sword over his back, and headed down the mountain to hunt monsters. A string of monsters from Yunling Mountain followed behind him, invisible. The fox spirit raised a delicate hand, looking disdainful. “What little brat is this? So soft and tender. Auntie will eat you and get herself a nice meal.” Yun Shan drew his peachwood sword and cried in his baby voice, “Monster! Show your true form at once!” The monsters behind Yun Shan revealed their true forms. “We hear you want to eat our little Taoist priest?” The fox spirit: “?! What a misunderstanding!” A funny story about farming in the first half and fighting monsters in the second. There are laughs and tears. That’s life. Everyone, the modern-day spin-off of The Little Master of the Temple has a synopsis now: Seeing the World with the Little Master In the modern era, the monsters have a new goal: take the little master to see the world. They also have plenty of problems to solve, and many more human joys and sorrows to experience. Come see how these naive monsters raise a human child in modern society. (*^▽^*) Five monsters and the little master entered the secret formation in the back mountains. When they awoke, they were lying inside the dilapidated Yunling Temple. The little master, who was now three years old, had turned back into the skinny little baby he once was. The poor little master was so hungry he wailed. The monsters’ hearts ached for him, so they carried him down the mountain to find humans. There was now another mountain in front of Yunling Mountain, and the village at its foot no longer had the old gray-brick houses and mud huts. The monsters hesitated, unsure what had happened in the human world. Had a mighty monster appeared? They decided to do what they had done before and knock on someone’s door. The human who opened it gave the monsters a listless once-over. Seeing their strange clothes, all covered in patches, he immediately snapped, “Go beg somewhere else! Don’t come to my house.” Hua Qi frowned and said earnestly, “We’re not here to beg. Is there a woman who’s had a baby in your family? My little one is hungry. Please, could we have some milk?” “Don’t you know how to feed your own child?” The human eyed the monsters warily. “Is this your child? Where are you from?” “We’re from the mountains,” Hua Qi said. The human stared at them for a moment, then invited them inside. “Wait here. I’ll go borrow some formula from the neighbors.” The monsters nodded and watched expectantly as the human closed the door. Then they heard a key turn in the lock. Liang Xiaofei locked the door, crouched across the road, and pulled out his phone to call 110. The third book in the Little Master series, The Little Master’s Adventures in the Apocalypse, is currently updating. Come check it out. The monsters stepped out of the teleportation formation once more and hurried toward Yunling Temple. Yunling Temple wasn’t as clean as they remembered. It was even more dilapidated, and the wooden courtyard gate was gone. After cleaning the temple, the monsters took the little master back down the mountain to find out what year it was. It seemed they had entered the wrong formation again. Gunshots rang out below. Dou Ming and Xi Jue hurried over and saw a group of people chasing two others. A strong stench of decay hung over the whole village. Two more people ran out of a house and fired at the crowd chasing them. The monsters rushed down the mountain. When they saw that the pursuers all had bluish faces and nothing but black pupils in their eyes, they immediately realized something was wrong. Hua Qi grabbed Yun Shan and swung him onto his back, shouting, “They’re dead!” The overpowering stench of decay came from them. “Hey, where are you guys from?” one of the men being chased asked curiously. After shaking off the dead, only two normal-looking humans remained. But they weren’t exactly acting normal either. Both seemed agitated. “I’ve been bitten,” one said. “Me too,” said the other. “Damn it, we’re done for.” The first man raised his gun to his head. “Calm down,” the second man stopped him. “Think about our families.” Tuotuo frowned. “What’s wrong with you?” The human survivors told the monsters about some unfamiliar things: zombies, blue crystals, Haiyan City, mutations... The monsters looked at one another, unsure what had happened to the human world. “You have to go to Haiyan City,” the humans said. “It’s the only surviving human base.” Theme: Grow through life and keep correcting your course.
