Long Journey
Long Journey
On Mount Shu, Li Xiaoyao would be on the peak of the mountain every day, waiting for Zhao Ling 'er to appear. When Tian Ruchang arrived at the mountain, Zhao Ling 'er's image suddenly appeared in the sky and waved at him. Li Xiaoyao had been waiting for many years, and this was the moment he had been waiting for. Thus, he disregarded everything and flew up into the sky on his sword. However, just as he was about to reach Zhao Ling 'er's side, a painting suddenly flew out of thin air and emitted a powerful demonic power, sucking Li Xiaoyao into the painting. At the same time, a tall figure caught the scroll in the air and landed on the high rock, laughing delightedly!
In the blink of an eye, four years had passed. Wang Xiaohu had grown up and learned a lot of skills from his master. He also shouldered the heavy responsibility of punishing evil. On this day, he was chasing after a big thief in the city. He chased him to a house and disappeared. Wang Xiaohu said angrily,"Damn it, where is that thief?" He looked up and saw a figure passing by the roof. He said,"Oh…he really knows how to run. He escaped to the roof!”He immediately jumped onto the roof and chased after her. Wang Xiaohu chased after the big thief as he saw him running towards the construction site.
After chasing a dozen houses, he suddenly heard someone call out to him,"Ah, it's Brother Xiaohu!"
Wang Xiaohu looked down and said,"Ah Pi? Did you see a group of burly men running over?”
"Yes, they're all heading that way!"”
"I understand. Thank you!"
"Brother Xiaohu, come and play with me next time!”
"Yes, alright."
Wang Xiaohu continued to chase after them and finally caught up with the thieves at the construction site. In a few moves, he subdued the thieves and chased them to the highest point of the construction site, catching up with the thief leader.
"What's wrong, you evil thief?" Wang Xiaohu shouted. Can't you run anymore?"
"Humph, you brat, you want to catch me?" the leader said angrily.”
"I've taken care of all your subordinates! It's your turn next. Surrender!”
"Who exactly are you? How dare you oppose me, the Thief King!”
"You bunch of rats, how dare you! Taking advantage of the fact that I was ordered by my teacher to go out to arrest thieves, you actually committed crimes in Hangzhou City! Since I, Wang Xiaohu, am here, don't even think about getting what you want!”
"Pah, what tiger or tiger? I was still wondering who he was, but it turns out that he's just an unknown junior! Now, let me teach you a lesson!”
After saying that, the bandit leader raised his saber and attacked. Who knew that the moment both sides fought, the thief leader knew how powerful Wang Xiaohu was. After a few moves, he was already restrained by Wang Xiaohu. Although this thief leader was strong and had deep skills, Wang Xiaohu had learned the unique skill of " divine eyes " from his master. He could see through all flaws. This thief leader was only a third-rate character, so it was naturally not difficult to see through his flaws. As expected, Wang Xiaohu seized the opportunity and used the ultimate move of the Cloud Piercing Palm to attack the thief's weakness. Finally, he hit the thief's vital point with one palm and defeated the thief.
Wang Xiaohu tied up the thief leader and brought him to the yamen, attracting the attention of many commoners. Wang Xiaohu said to the yamen officers,"I've already caught this bandit leader. I'll leave him to you now!”
Constable Xiao Ping said,"Xiao Hu, this guy is the famous Bandit King Cha Xie!" While you were away, he came to Hangzhou and committed many crimes. In the end, the moment you came back, you immediately caught him! Truly amazing!"
"Yeah, Xiao Hu has been busy catching thieves in other counties for the past six months. He has neglected our Hangzhou family!" said Ah Wen, another constable.”
"Big brothers, please don't say that!" Wang Xiaohu said. Little Tiger was also ordered by his master to go out and hone his martial arts!”
"Hahaha, Little Tiger!" Xiao Ping laughed. Don't be too humble!"
Constable Ah Wen also said,"Yes, that's right. Xiao Hu is too honest."”
At this moment, a beautiful and charming young woman passed by. Seeing so many people gathered together, she thought,"Eh…What happened? Why is it so lively?”
"I say, the current Little Tiger is simply a replica of the Great Swordsman Sheng of yesteryear!"”
Constable Ah Wen said,"That's right. It won't be long before he becomes famous all over the world!"”
The surrounding commoners all praised,"That's right, heroes really come from young people!”
"It's great that Xiao Hu is back. From now on, Hangzhou can be at ease.”
The girl walked into the crowd and asked a woman,""Auntie, may I ask who this little brother is? Why was everyone praising him so much?”
"Ah, little girl!" the woman said. You must be from somewhere else, right? That's our Hangzhou City's young hero, Wang Xiaohu!”
"Wang Xiaohu? Hehe, what an old-fashioned name. What kind of hero is he?”
"Aiya, he's the proud disciple of a retired local detective,'God's Eye'! He had brought many thieves from nearby cities and counties to justice. He was really young and promising.”
"Oh, catching a few thieves is so popular? Then I want to take a good look." Hence, the girl squeezed to the front of the crowd and finally saw Wang Xiaohu's figure and appearance. When she saw Wang Xiaohu's muscular arm, she couldn't help but exclaim softly,""The one on his arm is…"
At this moment, the constable Xiao Ping said,"Xiao Hu, let's quickly take this guy to jail."”
"Alright, I'll go with you."”
"Hurry up and settle the matter," said Constable Ah Wen."You can go back to see your master earlier.”With that, they escorted the Bandit King into the yamen.
The young girl was thinking,'Could it be…that he is…' Thus, she had a plan.
After an hour, Wang Xiaohu finally finished dealing with this matter and walked out of the yamen."We've wasted a lot of time. We really have to hurry back to see Master.”Then, he hurried to Sheng Mansion.
When Wang Xiaohu walked to the front door of the manor, a sweet female voice suddenly came from behind him."Wait a minute, little brother!" Wang Xiaohu was stunned. He quickly turned around and saw a beautiful and charming young woman appear behind him. He was a little surprised and asked,"Miss, are you calling me?"
"Of course, little brother."”
Wang Xiaohu looked at her carefully, but he couldn't recognize her. The girl said," Aiyo, I say, this brave and handsome little brother, I have something to trouble you with..." As he spoke, he walked up to Wang Xiaohu and revealed an extremely teasing gaze.
"Please wait a moment, Miss!" Wang Xiaohu said seriously. If you have anything to say, you can say it nicely. There's no need to be like this!”
The girl was shocked and quickly put away her seductive attitude."Hey, why are you like this?”
Wang Xiaohu said,"I don't know you at all. You must have mistaken me for someone else. I still have important matters to attend to, so I won't be able to accompany you." I'm sorry for my rudeness. Goodbye." With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait, wait a minute…Don't go!" The girl quickly shouted. I…I just want to ask you…how did the tiger tattoo on your arm come about!”
"Huh?" Wang Xiaohu turned around and said. So you just wanted to ask me this?”
"Yeah, what else do you think I want?”
"Ah! Sorry, I misunderstood." Wang Xiaohu heaved a sigh of relief.
"Please tell me, I'm very curious…" the girl said.
"This tiger tattoo is a birthmark. I've had it since I was born." Therefore, my father named me Little Tiger.”
"A birthmark? A birthmark?"
"Yeah,"
"Then, were you born on the first day of the first month of the year of the tiger at noon?”
When Wang Xiaohu heard this, he was quite surprised and said,"Miss, how did you know?"
The young girl was overjoyed and said,"That's…great!" I didn't expect such a person to exist in this world! That's great, that's great…"
Wang Xiaohu saw that she was suddenly stunned and called out,"Miss, Miss!" When she didn't respond, he thought, What a strange person!”"Alright, if you have nothing else to do, please forgive me for taking my leave."”With that, he turned around and quickly returned to the residence.
When the girl finished her thoughts and woke up, she was about to ask Wang Xiaohu again when she turned around and realized that Wang Xiaohu had already disappeared. She couldn't help but be stunned."Why did he run away?"
Wang Xiaohu returned to the manor and came to the hall. Sheng Zunwu was waiting there. He went forward and said,"Master, your disciple is back."
Sheng Zunwu responded in a low voice. Wang Xiaohu continued,"Master, I came back late. Please forgive me. When I entered the city, I found a group of thieves suspicious, so I followed them to arrest them. I fought with them at the construction site of the Great Buddha in the north of the city, so I was delayed for some time.”
"Oh, what about the outcome?" asked Sheng Zunwu.”
"I won!" Wang Xiaohu said. That thief used a big knife. I only used twenty moves to capture him and have already escorted him to the yamen.”
"Your opponent is the Pirate King Cha Xie, right?"”
"Huh? How did you know?" Wang Xiaohu asked in surprise.”
" Hmph!" Sheng Zunwu snorted coldly." Although that guy calls himself the Bandit King, he's just a mediocre character in the martial arts world. You don't have to be proud!" Moreover, I've already imparted the saber art and saber intent of the demonic saber to you. Your attainment in saber arts is naturally higher than this generation. Adding on the Cloud Piercing Palm that you've practiced since you were young, if you've practiced it for so many years, you still need to use 20 moves to deal with this rat? You're really embarrassing me!"
Wang Xiaohu was so scared that he stuttered,"Shishi Shishi!" I, I…"
Sheng Zunwu snorted. How dare you say that! When he slashed your left shoulder in the eighth move, your Cloud Piercing Palm was already ready to hit him in the face…When he slashed your left calf in the fourteenth move, he wanted to slash your left arm. With the Cloud Piercing Palm's step back and the Cloud Piercing Rock Splitting move, you could block his attack and strike his chest directly. You could easily win! The flaws of his saber moves are all in your eyes, but you don't know how to make use of them?”
I'm sorry, Master…I'm ashamed…"
"After using the palm technique, you forget the saber technique. After using the saber technique, you forget the palm technique, right? How many times have I told you that your brain is hard and you don't know how to use it flexibly? If you meet a real expert one day, you will definitely be at a disadvantage!”
"Yes…I will remember Master's teachings.”
"Sigh…Forget it. Your experience in the martial world is still shallow. It was important to remember that only those who could see the first opportunity could always win.”
"Yes…Master."
"However, I think your performance during this period of time is already very good.”
"Thank you, Master."
"You're tired too. Go back and rest.”
Wang Xiaohu took his leave. When he turned around and walked to the entrance of the hall, Sheng Zunwu suddenly shouted,"Little Tiger!" Wang Xiaohu immediately turned around and asked his master why he was called. Sheng Zunwu said,"Xiao Hu, there's a bundle on my table in my room.”
"Yes, I'll go get it now."
Wang Xiaohu went to his master's room and took a bundle from the table. Then, he returned to the hall and handed the bundle to his master."Master, I've brought the bag."
Sheng Zunwu said," Xiaohu, you haven't been back to Yuhang for many years. You can only write letters to your family. Do you miss your father?"”
"Of course, Master! However, from my father's letter, I learned that he was in good health and that everything at home was safe. He told me not to worry about him. He even wants me to stay in Hangzhou and help Master and the yamen.”
" Hmm…" Sheng Zunwu said," Then help me bring this bag back to Yuhang and give it to Brother Huangfu. You can also go home to see your father!"”
"Master, do you mean to ask me to go home?" Wang Xiaohu asked.”
"Yes, there's a letter in the bag. Give it to Brother Huangfu for me." Sheng Zunwu nodded.”
"Master, what letter is it?"
"Don't ask so many questions. When you reach Brother Huangfu's house, give him the bag and the letter. Don't open them on the way, understand?”
Wang Xiaohu saw how serious his master was and quickly replied,"Yes…Master."
"Hmm…Then you can go…" Sheng Zunwu said.
"Master, please take care of yourself. I'll be back soon!" Wang Xiaohu said.”
"Okay, go quickly."
"Yes, I will take my leave."
Wang Xiaohu bid farewell to his master again, took the bag, and left Sheng Manor. After leaving the residence, Wang Xiaohu pondered,"I haven't been back to Yuhang for so many years. I don't know if the villagers still remember me…Seeing how big I've grown, I'm sure they'll be shocked.”
Wang Xiaohu didn't walk far when he met the little girl, Xiao Xin. He heard that Uncle Sun, who lived opposite the medicine shop, had dropped something. It turned out that Xiao Xin's brother had lost it. Wang Xiaohu thought that Uncle Sun must be very anxious, so he went over to take a look.
When he arrived at the private house opposite the medicine shop, Uncle Sun immediately welcomed him and said,"Little Huzi, I heard that you caught the Association of Thieves.”
"Yes, Uncle Sun."
"You're really capable. I dropped a wine gourd a few days ago. If you see it, please inform me.”
"If I find it, I will tell the old uncle.”Therefore, Wang Xiaohu turned around to find Xiao Xin and asked her about the situation. In the end, he found Uncle Sun's wine gourd near the cemetery outside the city, so he handed the wine gourd back to Uncle Sun. Uncle Sun was very happy and thanked him repeatedly.
Wang Xiaohu met the famous bookworm in the city, Dumb Goose. Dumb Goose said,"People say that there are golden houses in books, and there are beauties in books. But I've been studying for so many years, but I've never been able to get the favor of a beauty. I studied hard for many years, but I couldn't get the favor of a beautiful woman. Sometimes, he really wondered if there was such a beauty like Yan Ruyu in the world. He didn't know who was more beautiful, Yan Ruyu or Yingyue.”
"Yingyue?" Wang Xiaohu asked, stunned.
"I read a legend a few days ago," said Dumb Goose."There's a beauty in it, named Yingyue. In this legend, the women and beauties were all of orchid heart.”
"Oh?"
"This legendary world is rather peculiar.”
"What's so special about it?"
"This legend is called the Angel Scroll. In this world, there are only beauties.”
"Only women?"
"Yes, only women, not us. The women painted in the angel's painting scroll each looked like a celestial being. No, it should be said that he was far superior to a Celestial Immortal. As a man, if I can obtain that world, then…"
"You only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals?"
"No, it should be…I don't miss Shu.”
Wang Xiaohu thought to himself, Is this dumb goose missing his wife so much that it's going crazy?”
The silly goose continued,"I have a collection of the first and second volumes of the angel painting. I just got the third volume, but it was stolen by the king of thieves, Cha Xie." The hateful Cha Xie actually said that he had hidden it in his private treasure vault and was unwilling to return it no matter what I asked for. He could only ask the Lady Boss of the bookstore to go to Jiangning to search for the third volume of the Angel Painting Scroll. He wondered if she had found it.”
"The Thief King also stole books? It seems that this book is quite rare."
"If you get an angel as your partner, it's fine if your fame doesn't show.”
Wang Xiaohu thought to himself,"This nerd has gone crazy from studying."”Then, he walked into the house of the silly goose to visit its father. The father of the silly goose, Old He, said,""This year's Imperial Examination is approaching. My son isn't reading the Four Books and Five Classics, but some painting scroll. For the sake of my stupid son, I had no choice but to order my daughter to hide the scroll. You can look at the drawing at any time, but if you fail the exam, you'll have to come back next year.”
Wang Xiaohu asked him what the scroll looked like. Uncle Ho said,"I took a look at the angel painting. It's pretty good.”
When Wang Xiaohu heard this, he couldn't help but become interested in the Angel Scroll.
After leaving Dumb Goose's house, they met the middle-aged Fatty on the way. Fatty said strangely,"Strange, strange, where is it?”
"Uncle, what are you looking for?" Wang Xiaohu asked.”
"Little brother, where are you going from?" Fatty asked.”
"I live in Hangzhou, but I want to be a chivalrous man who travels the Jianghu.”
"Wow, another person who wants to go to the martial world!”
"Uncle, what are you talking about?"
"You said that you want to travel around the martial world, so you must be very familiar with the martial world, right?”
"Not really. I can only say that I'm still learning.”
"Then you must know where Jianghu is. Can you tell me?”
"Where is the martial world?"
"There's a river and a lake. I don't know if it's by the river or by the lake.”
"Riverside or lakeside?"
"I've been looking for this place called Jianghu, but no one knows where it is. Some people call me stupid, some call me stupid, and some even tell me not to go.”
"Uncle, Jianghu is not a place. It can be considered a general term! It was also the collective name of each faction. When traveling in the martial arts world, one would communicate with these factions.”
"I see. Where is the faction?”
" Uncle, this..." Wang Xiaohu really didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Fatty's words. He didn't want to continue pestering him and left.
Just as he was about to leave the city, he came to the door of a commoner's house. Suddenly, a little girl walked over and said,"Brother, have you ever seen a monster?”
"Monster?" Wang Xiaohu was stunned. There are many kinds. Which one are you talking about?”
The little girl said,"I can't tell. If you want to see it, we have it at home."”
"There are monsters in your house?"
"Yes, that's why I don't dare to go home.”
"How can that be? I'll help you kill the demon!”
"Does big brother really know how to kill demons?”
"I think they won't be very strong. I can handle them.”
"Alright then! I hope you don't regret it!"
Wang Xiaohu walked into the little girl's house. The little girl's mother, Hua Niang, was working inside. Wang Xiaohu came in and asked,"Are there any demons in this house?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Hua Niang said angrily. What demon? I think you're the monster!”
"But the little sister outside said that there are demons in her house, so she doesn't dare to go home."”
"Are you talking about Xiao Hua?" Hua Niang asked. She is my child. You don't know how many people have believed her!”
"What do you mean?"
"Sigh, just listen to her words!”
Wang Xiaohu went back outside and said to Littleflower,""Your mother said that there were no demons in the house.”
"Do you trust my mother that much?" Xiao Hua asked immediately. You won't lose a piece of meat even if I'm eaten by demons.”
"How can you say such heavy words?”
"That's the truth! If there were no demons at home, why would I still stand outside and not go home?”
Wang Xiaohu thought to himself, That's right, I'll trust her again!”"Alright, I'll believe you one more time and help you see what's going on!”
"Sorry to trouble you, brother!"
Wang Xiaohu returned to the house and asked Hua Niang,"Excuse me, are there really no demons in this house?”
"How many times do you want me to say it before you understand?" Hua Niang asked. How can there be such a rude person?"
"But if there really aren't any demons or ghosts, why won't your child come home?”
"That child doesn't like to go home to begin with, and she likes to make up stories to deceive people. There's no need to believe her words. Let's go, let's go. Don't hinder me from doing things!"
Wang Xiaohu had no choice but to go back outside and say to Littleflower,"Little girl, are you sure there are really demons and ghosts in this house?”
"Hahaha, brother, you trust people too easily! Why would there be demons and ghosts at home?”
"You…are really lying…"
"I knew it even if I thought about it. Who knew that you would believe it so easily?”
"How can you take advantage of someone else's good intentions for fun? No one will want to help you in the future!”
"I don't need anyone to help me anyway! " Haha…" After saying that, Xiao Hua ran back into the house proudly. Wang Xiaohu stared blankly at the house. After a while, he sighed and turned around to leave. Suddenly, Xiao Hua's cry for help came from inside. Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but be stunned."Hmm? What was going on? The voice coming from that room…Ah, it seemed to be that little girl.”But after thinking about it, he said,"Forget it! It must be a lie again. Humph! It's better not to bother!" Just as he was about to leave, he heard another exclamation from inside. Wang Xiaohu immediately swept away his doubts and said,"Is there really any danger?”So he ran into the house.
A woman appeared in the room, and Flowery called out in panic,""Brother, save us!"
The woman turned around and shouted,""Don't come any closer, or I'll eat them!”Only then did Wang Xiaohu see clearly that the woman was actually a female ghost. Her face was so pale that it was devoid of blood.
"Brother, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Xiao Hua said.”"Little brother, please save us!" Hua Niang said.”
"Where did you come from?" Wang Xiaohu shouted at the female ghost. You're not allowed to play tricks here!"
"Don't come near, don't come near…" the female ghost said.
However, Wang Xiaohu still approached him step by step."Why are you here? Do they have any deep hatred for you?”
"I…I…don't know them…"
"There's no enmity between us. Why are you playing tricks here?”
" I…I…just wanted to ask for help…"
"Is this how you seek help?”
"Otherwise…who would help me in this state?”
"This…What kind of help do you need?”
"I was once engaged to my beloved here. Not long after I was engaged, I died here due to illness. Before I took my last breath, I promised him that I would come and find him, but…but…now that I've become like this, he'll definitely run away when he sees me.”
"Then how do you want us to help you?”
"Actually, I just want him to know that I've come to look for him. It depends on whether he's willing to see me.”
"If I help you find your loved ones, can you let them go?”
"I will definitely release it, I will definitely…"
Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but ponder. Hua Niang said anxiously,""Little brother, you can't trust me so easily!”
"Brother, what if we disappear when you come back?" Xiao Hua asked.”
"I just need a little help. I'll definitely let them go," the female ghost said.”
" Brother!" Flowery called out anxiously." Brother…"
Wang Xiaohu pondered for a moment and said,"Just trust her this once! If she dares to do anything to you, I won't let her off!”
"Brother…" Flower Maiden couldn't help but blame her, saying,"Brother…""Sigh…Xiao Hua, it's your fault for spouting nonsense. Now it's true!”"Mother…I won't do it again…" Xiao Hua cried.
"Do you remember where he is?" Wang Xiaohu asked the female ghost.”
The female ghost replied,"He's in the middle of Yang Tao. He used to live in the room next door."”
Wang Xiaohu noted it down and ran to the house next door. He asked the owner,"Is there a person called Yang Tao here?”
The owner of this place was a middle-aged woman. She replied,"You're looking for Yang Tao? Why are you looking for Yang Tao?"
"I'm looking for a girl called Qian Qian. They seemed to have made an agreement before."”
The woman was even more surprised when she heard that. Nancy? Don't joke around!"
"I'm not joking. I know Qianqian has already left." However, she had an agreement with Yang Tao, so she came back to fulfill it.”
"This…how could this be? Didn't Nancy take Tao away? Ah Tao died in front of Qianqian's grave not long after Qianqian left. We all thought that Nancy had taken Tao away…After Nancy left, Tao couldn't be happy…Perhaps Tao was looking for Nancy in another world!”
"I…I know!" Wang Xiaohu said.”With a long sigh, he left the Yang family and returned to the Hua family's house.
"I helped you ask about him," Wang Xiaohu said to Qianqian.”
"Where's Yang Tao?" Qianqian asked hurriedly. Married someone else? Not at home? Don't you remember me?"
"You…calm down first, but please be mentally prepared."”
"Mental preparation? Did he really remarry? Have you forgotten me?"
"No…he's gone…"
"He left? Where did he go?"
"Not long after you died, he went to your grave to see you. Then…he fell asleep on your grave…"
"Yang Tao…he…he didn't wake up?”
"Yes…maybe you can find him when you go back.”
"Yang Tao…didn't we agree on this?" Qianqian said sadly.
"I think he must be missing you," Wang Xiaohu said."The two of you will definitely meet in another place."”
Qianqian listened to Wang Xiaohu's comfort and quietly calmed down."Although I didn't find Yang Tao, thank you for helping me get information. I'll let them go as a gift to thank you. Thank you, I'm leaving!" With that, Qianqian turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared.
Hua Niang and her daughter heaved a sigh of relief. Hua Niang said to Xiao Hua,"Xiao Hua, don't talk nonsense in the future.”
"This is a lesson for you. If you keep lying, you might not get any help!" Wang Xiaohu added. Fortunately, this wasn't some terrifying demon.”
"I won't do it again…" Flowery lowered her head.
Hua Niang thanked Wang Xiaohu again and again. Wang Xiaohu immediately said that he was welcome. Then, he bid farewell to Hua Niang and her daughter. After leaving the Hua family, he continued on his way, leaving Hangzhou City and embarking on the journey to Yuhang.
After leaving the city, they had not walked far when they suddenly heard someone calling out behind them,""Little brother, please wait!"
Wang Xiaohu was stunned. He turned around and saw a beautiful and charming girl walking over. Wang Xiaohu recognized her as the woman who had spoken to him in front of the Sheng Mansion."It's you?"
"Little brother, I've been looking for you so hard!" Why did you suddenly leave?”
"Eh? Because you suddenly turned around and ignored me in the middle of our conversation…I called you several times, but you ignored me…Because I was in a hurry to go home, I had to take my leave first.”
"Yeah... forget it, forget it! I have something very important that I need your help with.”
"Oh? Is there anything I can help you with?”
"Really, really. As long as you're willing to help me, I'll definitely treat you well.”
"Young Lady, you're being too serious. I won't ask for anything in return. As long as it's within my capabilities, you can say it.”
"Are you really…willing to help me?”
"As long as it's not something outrageous, I'm happy to help you.”
"Yes, you are indeed a good person!" At this moment, the girl introduced herself to Wang Xiaohu."As for me…I'm actually a 37th generation disciple of the Celestial Master Sect!”
"A disciple of the Celestial Master Sect? Are you a Daoist nun?"
"Uh…yes, I came down the mountain under the orders of my master to eliminate a harmful demon.”
"Now that you mention it, I remember…Many years ago, there was a demonic beast causing trouble outside the city, but it was subdued by Zen Master Qian Ye.”
"No, you don't know this…The demon that Cult Master asked me to find is actually still sleeping…But Cult Master has calculated that it will wake up in the next few days, and it will cause great harm to the people in Hangzhou!”
"That's great!" Wang Xiaohu said in surprise. Miss, is this the reason you're looking for me?”
"That's right! The thought of having to deal with such a terrifying monster alone made me extremely afraid! However, this is the Cult Master's order, and it concerns the lives of the people of Hangzhou, so I can only brace myself and think of a way. I happen to be in Hangzhou. I heard that you are a famous young hero in this area. So I decided to come and ask you to help me destroy this monster. Do you have the heart to refuse to help?"
"No, since I know about this, how can I retreat?" Wang Xiaohu hurriedly said. Miss, where is the monster you mentioned? I'll go back and bring all the brothers in the yamen to destroy it!”
"This!" The girl immediately said. No need, no need. With you and me, it's enough to take care of that monster. If there were too many people, it would alert the enemy and it would be disadvantageous.”
Wang Xiaohu felt that it was reasonable. He said," Hmm…But I have no experience in fighting monsters. It's just the two of us…Miss, are you really confident?”
The young girl said," I know martial arts more or less. I just hope that someone will accompany me to strengthen my courage. No problem!"”
"Alright, does the lady know where the monster is hiding?" Wang Xiaohu asked.”
"Actually, it's on the mountainside nearby. I'll take you there."”
"Alright, please lead the way."
Hence, Wang Xiaohu followed the girl and headed up the mountain. Walking up the winding mountain path, they arrived at the mountainside. There was a hole blocked by a large rock here. The girl pointed there and said,"We're here. This is the place."
"Here?" Wang Xiaohu asked. But I didn't see any monsters.”
"The demon is inside this stone door," the girl said.”
"Stone door? You mean this boulder? But could he push such a huge rock away?”
"There is a special secret seal on this boulder. Little brother, can you let me take a look at your hand?”
"Borrow my hand?" Wang Xiaohu was stunned. What's wrong?"
"Don't worry, they won't eat you."”
"That's not what I meant," Wang Xiaohu said.”Hence, he extended his hand.
Unexpectedly, the girl grabbed Wang Xiaohu's hand and suddenly bit down hard, opening a wound on his arm and causing blood to spurt out. Wang Xiaohu hurriedly retracted his hand in pain and said in surprise,"Miss…Miss, what are you doing?”
"Aiyo, a grown man is actually afraid of pain?" Blood is flowing out, give me your hand, quick, quick! I'll explain to you later!"
Wang Xiaohu had no choice but to listen to her. He extended his hand again. The young lady took the blood from his arm and sprinkled it on the huge rock. Unexpectedly, as soon as the blood splashed on the stone, it immediately activated the secret seal on the huge stone. A strong light flashed, and the huge stone immediately collapsed and completely shattered, revealing a huge hole.
"Success, as expected!" the young girl said happily.”
"What…what's going on?" Wang Xiaohu asked in a daze.”
"This…My Cult Master said that only the blood of the person who was born in your birthday can open this sealed stone door."”
"So that's how it is…Looks like your Sect Master was right!" Wang Xiaohu said.”Then, he asked,"Next, let's go in and subdue the demons."”
"Yes, let's hurry in."”
"I don't know what kind of danger lies ahead, so let me lead the way."”
"That's great, I didn't find the wrong person."”
Hence, the two of them switched positions. Wang Xiaohu walked in front with his saber, and the girl followed behind. They walked into the dark cave together.
At first, the cave was pitch black. However, when the two of them entered the depths of the cave, a faint green light suddenly appeared, illuminating the entire cave. They had entered a magnificent stone tomb. Wang Xiaohu looked at the appearance of the stone tomb and said in surprise,"What is this place?"
The girl replied,"This is the demon's nest."”
" But this place looks solemn," Wang Xiaohu said doubtfully." It's man-made. It doesn't look like a demon's lair!"”
"That's right, that's right!" the young girl said. This was the place. This place was indeed a mausoleum, and that monster resided here. We have to find him before he wakes up!”
"Alright, then let's find it!" Wang Xiaohu said. Oh right…I haven't asked how should I address you?”
"My name is Su Mei, I'm a 37th generation disciple of the Sage Sect."”
Wang Xiaohu muttered in his heart, Su…Mei…really lives up to her name. But such a beautiful girl is actually a Daoist nun…but…her clothes don't look like it…"
Su Mei saw that he was lost in thought and asked,"What are you thinking about?"
Only then did Wang Xiaohu come to his senses. He hurriedly said,"Ah…nothing, let's go!”
Su Mei led the way, and the two of them entered one of the stone chambers.
