Breaking into the Cave and Meeting the Righteous Man
"Ascension!"
" Might... Wu..."
" He Ran, thank you for saving me. I have a favor to ask of you. I wonder…"
"Milord, please feel free to speak. Master has instructed us to help Milord as much as possible.”
"It's like this. Back then, in order to force me to hand over the official seal, the tiger demon captured my child, Xiao Bao, and locked him in the cave. Can you save my child for me?”
"I'll do my best."
The magistrate was overjoyed when he heard this. He walked to He Ran's side and handed him a bead."This is my ancestral treasure, the luminous pearl. You should be able to use it, please accept it.”
There was a bridge in the southwest of the county. After crossing the bridge, there was a cave in the northwest. This was the nest of the spider demon. The air around the cave was filled with a rancid smell. The closer they got to the entrance of the cave, the stronger the smell became.
He Ran drew his sword to protect himself and walked sideways into the cave. A thick stench of corpses gushed out, almost making people vomit. The cave was dark, and even the faint sunlight at the entrance of the cave seemed to be absorbed by the thick darkness in the cave. He Ran took out a luminous pearl from his pouch and illuminated the surroundings as bright as day. He was shocked to find that there were corpses and bones everywhere. Some of the bones had black spots on them, and some were half-eaten corpses. The ground and walls were covered in blood.
He Ran frowned and went deeper into the cave. The cave was like a staircase, with high and low connecting paths. He Ran stepped on the bloody bones and endured the heavy stench. He searched up and down the maze-like slope and finally met a woman.
"Ah, who are you? Please don't hurt me…"
"Miss, why are you here?”
" I was caught by the spider demon the day before yesterday. It's probably coming to eat me…" The girl started crying as she spoke.
"I'm so scared. I want to go home…"
"Young lady, don't be afraid. My name is He Ran, and I'm here to save someone.”
The girl raised her head, tears still on her cheeks."Thank you…Thank you…"
"Miss, have you seen a child before?”
"Yes, I'll take you to him and leave together.”
The girl brought He Ran to find Xiao Bao. When He Ran saw Xiao Bao, she ran over happily. Xiao Bao suddenly widened his eyes and looked behind He Ran with a face full of fear. He Ran turned around, and the girl's face flashed in the corner of his eyes. In an instant, her face turned ashen, and her hair stood up. The girl turned into a spider spirit. He Ran saw the change and was stunned. At this moment, the spider spirit struck He Ran's chest and abdomen like lightning, and spat out spider silk to tie He Ran up...
He Ran fell to the ground, unable to break free from the spider silk. In addition to being attacked without any precautions, his internal organs seemed to be in a mess. His consciousness gradually blurred, and as he watched the spider demon approach, He Ran thought…the situation was over…
The spider demon spat out a burst of green gas and cackled as she walked towards the unconscious He Ran. Suddenly, a man in black fell from the sky and blocked He Ran.
The spider spirit stopped and stared at the man in black who was blocking her way. The man in black didn't say anything. The sword in his hand coiled into a sword flower and surged towards the spider spirit. The spider spirit was no match for the man in black and was killed on the spot.
The man in black took out the medicine and carefully fed it into He Ran's mouth. Then, he waved to Little Treasure, who was hiding at the side, and gestured for Little Treasure to take care of He Ran. Little Treasure nodded to show that he understood. The moment he looked up, the man in black had already disappeared.
When He Ran woke up, she realized that she had escaped death and asked Little Treasure,"What about me?"
"Just now, you were ambushed by the spider demon. A man in black saved you.”
"Men in black? Little Treasure, do you know who it is?"
"I don't know. He disappeared like a ghost without saying a word.”
"Little Treasure, you can't talk about others like that. Sigh…He must be a member of my Dao.”
When the magistrate saw Little Treasure, he was even more grateful to He Ran."Thank you, thank you. You saved my family's lives. Right, your master has a letter for you.”
He Ran hurriedly opened the letter. The letter said,
"Seventeen years ago, a decisive battle broke out between humans and demon gods. The good and evil gods led the demon army to attack the humans. After several days of bloody battles, the entire family of the human leader, Ji Xuanyuan, was slaughtered. Only a young son who was born at that time escaped.
I'm telling you this today not because I want you to take revenge. Instead, I hope you can find out why the good gods who originally supported humans sided with the evil gods. I hope that peace between humans and gods can be restored.
The county magistrate has told me everything you have done. I am very happy that I saved you and took you as my disciple. I have something to do and will travel around the world. If we are fated, we will meet one day. He Ran, take care of yourself. I've already told you what I should tell you. It's up to you to decide what you want to do in the future.”
After He Ran read the letter, he turned around and was about to leave when the magistrate called out to him,"This token is for you. With this token, you can pass through the southern checkpoint and do what you need to do.”
He Ran took the token and hurried back to his old residence at the foot of the mountain. His master had disappeared and was separated from the master he had relied on since he was young. He Ran could not help but feel sad. He stood in the house for a long time…Finally, he made up his mind and muttered in his heart,"Master, I'm going to do what I need to do. I hope we can meet again one day…”
After passing through the pass in the south, He Ran went to a small town. The people in the town were praising a black-clothed man who killed demons and devils everywhere. He Ran remembered the savior who killed the spider demon and wanted to find the black-clothed man to thank him. He asked the townspeople and learned that the man in black was called Yang Kunshuo. He had set off to the Phoenix Tower in the south to eliminate the demoness.
He Ran found the Phoenix Tower and saw Yang Kunshuo at the bottom of the tower. He thanked Yang Kunshuo and asked him why he came to the Phoenix Tower.
"Legend has it that there was a demoness in the tower that harmed countless people. Some people also said that there was a beautiful young girl locked up in the tower. I thought that if there were demons, I would kill them.”
"Brother Yang, we have the same intention to fight against the evil, so why don't we cooperate and help each other?”
"That's great. Let's go together.”
He Ran and Yang Kunshuo worked together to climb up the tower and killed countless demons that surged over. Finally, they reached the top of the tower. At the top of the tower, there was a beautiful girl.
"Miss, why are you here alone?" Yang Kunshuo asked.
"Who are you? Please leave and don't come again.”
"Miss, were you captured by a demon?”
"Let's go, we don't have much time.”
The young girl retreated as she spoke. Yang He and the other man knew that something must have happened, so how could they leave? The two of them followed him at the same time.
Suddenly, a red light flashed in the young girl's eyes. Her eyes lost their luster as she crazily began to attack He Ran and Yang Kunshuo.
On one hand, Yang He and the other wanted to protect themselves, but on the other hand, they were unwilling to kill the innocent. However, the girl's magic was powerful, and the two of them were unable to resist.
"Brother Yang, split up…"
"Left and right pincer attack!"
"Don't hurt her…"
"Knock her out."
The two of them jumped out of the circle and attacked the girl from the left and right. As expected, the girl could not react in time. He Ran held the weapon and Yang Kunshuo said,"I've offended you!" He struck the side of the girl's neck with a Tremor Palm.
The young girl's eyes turned clear and she fainted.
"Brother He, she doesn't look like a demon.”
"Indeed, I think we…"
As the two of them were talking, a sharp whistle came from outside. At this moment, the girl suddenly disappeared.
The two of them couldn't find any clues at the top of the tower, so they decided to go back to town to discuss countermeasures.
