Reunion (Part 1)
Reunion (Part 1)
"Hey, I should ask you…when I was unconscious, did you do anything to me?"”
"Ah…how could that be?" Wang Xiaohu hurriedly said. I just saw you fainted on the road, so I had to carry you back to settle you down first. I was too worried about you!”
Su Mei said,"Aiya, you're really kind!" At that time, I was fighting with that demon and fainted due to exhaustion. Besides... besides, your bed smells moldy and there are fleas. Who can stay here?”
"Ah, I'm sorry!" Wang Xiaohu was stunned. I haven't been home for many years, and that bed has indeed not been used for a long time.”
Su Mei said," Alright, I've said a lot. Let me ask you, how did you find me here?"”
"No, I didn't come here specifically to look for Miss Su, because I didn't know Miss Su would be here." Actually, I'm here to find a little girl!”
"Ah, so you're not here to look for me?" It's really sad to hear that."
"Miss Su, just now…I think I saw her with Miss Su!" Wang Xiaohu said. I'm in a hurry to find her. Do you know where she is?”
Su Mei said,"Ha, why are you so anxious?" Are you looking for a little girl called Li Yiru?”
"It's her."
"Yes, she was with me…because when I came to this mountain to find the entrance to this Purple Dew Bamboo Forest, I saw her little girl walking around alone in the bamboo forest. At that time, it was already late, so I went over and asked her what was wrong. She cried and said that she wanted to go to Mount Shu to find her father, but she got lost in the mountains.”
"I see…What a stupid girl. I'll have to give her a good scolding later!”
"I was worried that it would be unsafe for her to stay alone in the mountains, so I asked her to travel with me for the time being.”
"So that's what happened. Thank you so much, Miss Su! Where was she now?”
At this moment, Li Yiru's voice sounded,""Hehe, Sister Su, I found the Bear tribe elder!”Then, she saw her and a panda walking over with a walking stick. When Li Yiru saw Wang Xiaohu, she was surprised."Aiyaya, what's going on? Why was the most troublesome Brother Hu here? This is really disappointing."
"Yiru, what nonsense are you talking about?" If you secretly leave Jiangning by yourself and something happens to you, how am I going to explain to auntie and brother Xiaoyao?”
Li Yiru said,"Aiya, but I just want to go to Mount Shu to find my father!" Brother Hu refused to agree, so he had no choice but to look for it himself.”
"Yiru, do you know?" Wang Xiaohu asked. This place was not Mount Shu, but Mount Yueliang! Mount Shu was still far, far away from here! How can it be so easy to go?"
"Hehe, Brother Hu doesn't need to say this. I already know!" Li Yiru said. Sister Su has already told me everything.”
"Since you know, then come back to Immortal Spirit Island with me!" Wang Xiaohu said.”
Li Yiru said,"Hehe, if you want to go back, go back yourself. I don't want to go back!"”
"What nonsense are you spouting again?" Wang Xiaohu asked.”
"Sister Su said that she knows the way to Mount Shu!" Li Yiru said. She promised that as long as he could help her find the wild owl spirit hiding here, she would bring him to Mount Shu!”
"What?"
"Hehe, Brother Hu, Sister Su is much kinder than you! She knew that I was really worried about Father and even cried with me!”
"Tears?"
"Yeah, unlike Brother Hu, who doesn't know how worried I am about Daddy! I only want to bring her back!"
"This, I…"
Su Mei said," I say, little brother. You have a family and a father. That's why you can't feel her feelings. I've been fatherless since I was young, so I can understand the pain and anxiety in her heart..."
"Hehe, Sister Su is indeed gentler!" Li Yiru said. Brother Hu is the most stubborn!"
Wang Xiaohu immediately stuttered. Su Mei said,"Right, let's not talk about this first. Yiru, ask the bear tribe elder if he knows where the Yang owl spirit is hiding.”
Li Yiru said,"He said that the big bird is resting in the huge bamboo next to it."”
"Inside the giant bamboo?"
"Yeah, that's what he said."
"I see…"
"Sister Su, the elder also said that a few days ago, a group of bad people broke into this place and destroyed the huge bamboo. Ever since that day, the bamboo forest began to wither in large numbers, and they were about to run out of leaves to eat. That's why the elder asked us to help them think of a way.”
"Wait, you said someone came here before?”
"Yes, I am!"
"Who's so hateful?" Wang Xiaohu asked angrily.”
Su Mei couldn't help but think to herself,"Oh no, could it be…""Damn it, let me see!" The three of them approached the giant bamboo to observe the situation.
But at this moment, a huge green-feathered bird suddenly flew out from the huge bamboo and let out a "wuwu" cry. Su Mei hurriedly said,"Everyone, be careful! It's the Yang Owl Spirit!"
"Strange," Li Yiru said,"the demon said why we dared to come again!"”
"We haven't been here before!" Wang Xiaohu said.”At this moment, the owl spirit suddenly spread its wings and pounced towards the crowd. Wang Xiaohu hurriedly said,"Everyone, be careful!" The three of them hurriedly accepted the challenge. The wild owl spirit flapped its wings, constantly sending out powerful air currents to attack everyone. Fortunately, Li Yiru used a defensive spell to reduce the wild owl spirit's attack on them. Then, Su Mei quickly used the Thunder Blast Technique. A bolt of lightning struck the wild owl spirit, causing it to let out a long cry. It fell from the sky and fell to the ground. Its entire body trembled and it could no longer move.
The Yang owl spirit let out a "wu wu" sound again. Li Yiru immediately stopped Su Mei and Wang Xiaohu from attacking it again, and then said,"Stop for a moment. It seems to have something to say!”Then, he quietly listened to the words of the Yang owl spirit.
Li Yiru translated as she listened,""What is it? I am a person of Mother Nuwa's bloodline. Why am I treating you like this?”
"Yiru, help me ask this monster." Where was the Purple Dew Bamboo Heart that it had hidden? Hand it over!"
"Uh…Big Brother Monster, that…that heart, where do you put it?" Li Yiru said.”
Yang Xiao answered, and Li Yiru said,""But…aren't you a monster?”
"Wuuu…"
"So, in that case, you are actually the guardian beast protecting this bamboo forest on behalf of Mother Nuwa? Aiya, then…then did we make a mistake?”
"Wuuu…"
"Yes, I understand…"
"Yiru, what happened?" Wang Xiaohu asked.”
"It said that it was ordered by Goddess Nüwa to stay here for thousands of years to protect the bamboo heart, because the bamboo heart is the source of life for this bamboo forest," Li Yiru said.”
"The source of life?" Su Mei asked.
Li Yiru said,"So it's not a demon. Sister Su, please don't make things difficult for it!"”
"Then, where is the Purple Dew Bamboo Heart?" Su Mei asked again.”
Li Yiru said,"It said that a group of people came a few days ago and the bamboo heart was snatched away."”
"What?" Su Mei asked in surprise. Was it taken away?"
"Yiru, does it know who did it?" Wang Xiaohu asked.”
"It doesn't know who that person is either," Li Yiru said."It only knows that the other party is very powerful! It also said that since ancient times, as long as one ate the Purple Dew Bamboo Heart, one would obtain a doubled strength. Therefore, from time to time, there would be monsters and ghosts entering the valley to snatch the bamboo heart, but in the end, they did not succeed. It was just that the person who came to snatch the bamboo heart this time was too strong, so it could not beat him. In the end, he was even injured, so even we couldn't win just now!”
Su Mei suddenly understood, but she was annoyed in her heart, Damn it, it must be the flag bearer! I didn't expect him to be one step ahead of me…"
At this time, Yang Xiao said a long sentence. Li Yiru said,""I don't know anything about Mother Nuwa. Oh, yes…hmm…so from now on…you wish to follow me?”
Yang Xiao responded, and Li Yiru said,""Actually, we are also responsible for this matter. Since you are willing, you can follow me from now on.”Thus, Li Yiru opened the oil-paper umbrella and cast a spell to put Yang Xiao into the umbrella.
At this moment, Su Mei was about to leave when Wang Xiaohu said,"Miss Su, where are you going?"
Su Mei said,"I made a mistake. I'm leaving."”
"Sister Su, let's leave together!" Li Yiru said.”
At this moment, the pandas began to growl. Li Yiru said,""What is it? Then what should we do?"
The panda elder also stepped forward and said a few words. Li Yiru said,"You want us to help you find Zhuxin?”The panda elder nodded a few times. Li Yiru frowned and said,"This…"
"Yiru…what are they talking about?" Wang Xiaohu asked.”
Li Yiru said," The elders said that because the core of the bamboo was taken away, the bamboo forest that they relied on for many years has begun to wither. Now, their race can only migrate to other places and find another place to grow."”
The panda elder called out a few more times. Li Yiru said,"The elder said that he wanted to move to the place where the black and white bears were born. I heard that it's far away from here. I'm afraid that I'll have to go to the cemetery."
"Sigh…I really don't know how I can help!" Wang Xiaohu said. Right, Miss Su, weren't you looking for Zhuxin just now? What do you want to do with Zhuxin?"
Su Mei was stunned. After a moment, she said," This…This is a mission given by the Cult Master. I don't know the reason either!" Actually, the Sect Master wanted me to look for a lost pearl. I guess the Purple Dew Bamboo Heart might be…"
"What does the pearl you're looking for look like?" Wang Xiaohu asked. Maybe we can help you find it."
Su Mei said," I heard Master say that it's a black pearl that's about the size of two palms. It's said to have the magical effect of bringing the dead back to life. It's called the Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Pearl, also known as the Pearl of Life!"”
"Soul Returning Pearl?"
"Yes, I think I've come to the wrong place..."
"Mm…Yiru, it seems like we can't help much right now, so let's leave first!”
Li Yiru also said helplessly,"Alright…Elder Xiong, we can't help for now!" Goodbye, take care of yourselves…We'll keep an eye out for you!”
The panda elder bid farewell to Li Yiru, and the three of them left the Liangyue Mountain bamboo forest through another exit.
When they reached the mountain pass, Li Yiru said,"Brother Hu, let's prepare to advance to Mount Shu together!" Sister Su will lead the way!"
"No, Yiru…Sister Su still has something important to do, so I can't take you to Mount Shu. You can go back with this brother first!" Su Mei quickly said.”
Li Yiru was very surprised when she heard that. Sister Su, didn't you promise me?”
Wang Xiaohu said," Miss Su still has something to do. She can't bring you there. Don't make things difficult for her!" Just obediently follow me back to Immortal Spirit Island!”
"I don't want it!" Li Yiru couldn't help but shout. Sister Su has already promised me! How can you be so dishonest?"
"Ah, I…" Su Mei thought.
"Miss Su, is the thing you're looking for very important?" Wang Xiaohu asked.”
"Yes, those things are very important to me."”
"Since we're all friends, tell us if you have any difficulties. We're very willing to help you!" Wang Xiaohu said.”
"We're…friends?" Su Mei stared at Wang Xiaohu.”
"That's right, Sister Su!" Li Yiru said. I still want to continue being with you! I must ask you to bring me to find daddy!”
"Don't you think…I'm very strange?" Su Mei suddenly asked.”
"Uh, no?" Wang Xiaohu said.”
"Yeah, Sister Su is a good person!" Li Yiru said. I really like Sister Su. In comparison, Brother Hu was more annoying!”
"Hey, girl!" Wang Xiaohu said. I worked hard to bring you all the way to Jiangning, and you still dare to say this to me?”
"If you don't bring me to Mount Shu, I'll hate you, hate you!" Li Yiru said. Annoying!"
Su Mei looked at the two of them and thought for a long time before finally answering,"Alright, since Sister Su has already promised Xiao Yiru, then we must do it first. Then Sister Su will take you to Mount Shu!”
"Wait a minute," Wang Xiaohu quickly said,"you all sound so relaxed and happy, but how should I explain this to Aunt Li?"”
Su Mei said,"Aiyo, you can't even help Yi Ru with such a small matter?" Just now, he was pretending to be a good man, a friend, and a helper. He almost touched her!”
"Ah, I…I…" Wang Xiaohu stuttered.
"Hehe, Brother Hu can't speak now, right?" Li Yiru said.”
"You little brat, I really can't do anything to you…You actually found someone to join forces to deal with me!" Wang Xiaohu said. When I go back, I will definitely be scolded to death by Auntie Li…"
"Hehe, that won't happen, Brother Hu!" Li Yiru said. We'll just write a letter and tell auntie. When auntie receives the letter, she won't be worried anymore!”
Wang Xiaohu said," You little fool. It's not a question of whether you write a letter or not. Listen, Brother Xiaohu is really going to say yes to you this time!" As long as you see your father on Mount Shu, you must return to Immortal Spirit Island obediently!”
"Hehe, Brother Hu, don't worry!" Li Yiru said happily. Yiru is the most trustworthy."
Su Mei then said," Alright, it's getting late. Since we're leaving, let's go." Mount Shu was still a long way from here!”
"Hehe, yes, Sister Su!" Li Yiru said. I can't wait to see my father!”
"Look at how happy you are…" Wang Xiaohu said."Alright, let's go…" The three of them set off together and went down the mountain.
After walking down the mountain path for a few miles, they entered a small village. Li Yiru said,"Hua, we've encountered a village!"
"Yes, but we have to reach the next village before the sun sets." Otherwise, we can only spend the night in the wilderness."
"Miss Su is right, then let's continue moving forward!" Wang Xiaohu said.”
As they continued forward and were about to leave the village, they suddenly saw three people gathered in front of an abandoned house not far away to discuss something. Wang Xiaohu immediately recognized one of them and could not help but blurt out,"Eh? Aren't you…Brother Yu?" He immediately rushed forward.
The man heard someone calling him and looked up. He recognized Wang Xiaohu."You…You are…Little Tiger?" It turned out that this person was none other than Yu Nansong, who had gone through thick and thin with Wang Xiaohu in Hangzhou four years ago.
"That's great! So it's really Big Brother Yu?" Wang Xiaohu said happily. I didn't expect to meet Brother Yu here!”
"It's been so many years, but it looks like you've been reborn!" Yu Nansong said.”
"No, Big Brother Yu is!"
"Previously, I heard from my fellow disciples who often walked around Hangzhou that there was a young hero who served justice there. I guessed that it should be you, Little Tiger…Am I right?”
"This…um…how should I put it? It was just…Master asked me to help the government arrest bandits and train my martial arts! I was only doing some small things that were part of my duty. It was all the commoners exaggerating their deeds.”
"Ah, Little Tiger is too humble. "Come, let me introduce you three…" As he spoke, Yu Nansong pointed to a monk and said,"I'll introduce you three.""This is my senior brother, Master Wanbei. I came here with him.”
"Amitabha…" Master Wanbei immediately bowed and said,"I am very happy to meet you three benefactors."”
Yu Nansong then pointed to another elder and said,""In addition, this is the village chief of Bihu Village. He has something to discuss with us.”
The village chief also greeted Wang Xiaohu and the others."This old man is pleased to meet the three young heroes!"
"I'm also very happy to be able to get to know you seniors!" Wang Xiaohu said. The young lady beside me is the beloved daughter of Li Xiaoyao, the leader of the Shu Mountain Immortal Sword Sect. Her name is Li Yiru. The other lady was a female disciple of the Celestial Master Sect, Su Mei.”
"I've heard a lot about the Celestial Sword Sect's Sect Leader Li and the Celestial Master Sect," Yu Nansong said hurriedly. Right, Little Tiger, where are you heading to?”
"Yiru wants to go to Mount Shu to find Brother Xiaoyao, Sect Leader Li." Miss Su knew the way, so she brought us along.”
"I see, but Mount Shu is far from here. If you want to find Sect Leader Li, I suddenly thought of something.”
"What is it? Big Brother Yu."
"Ever since the collapse of Mount Shu's Shifter Sealing Pagoda, the demons have started to run amok in the human world. Senior Wan Bei and I were ordered by Master to go out and vanquish demons for the people. However, the demons had been running amok recently, and his master believed that they had to unite the forces of various sects in order to successfully defeat the demons. Hence, his master sent out a lot of invitations, calling for the orthodox sects of the martial arts world to hold a Demon Slayer Alliance Conference in Jing Zhou! Sect Leader Li of the Immortal Sword Sect is also invited. Perhaps you can meet him in Jing State.”
"The Demon Slayer Conference…" Su Mei thought.
"Ah, so there's a martial arts gathering organized by Zen Master Qianye?" Wang Xiaohu asked. That's great! Maybe I can really meet Brother Xiaoyao there!”
"Brother Hu, let's go to Jingzhou first!" Li Yiru immediately said. If father had gone there, he wouldn't have to travel all the way to Mount Shu!”
"Yeah, but we'll have to ask Miss Su for her opinion!" Wang Xiaohu said. Back then, you were the one who pestered him to go to Mount Shu!”
"Alright, alright!" Li Yiru said. Sister Su, you will definitely agree, right?”
"En, these two matters do not hinder!" Because our original route would have passed through Jing state.”
"Hehe, that's great!" Li Yiru said happily. She really didn't expect to see her father early.”
"It's great to see Little Miss Li so happy," Yu Nansong said. Brother Xiaohu, the village chief has something to discuss with us. We have to continue discussing with him. I wonder if the three of you can go to the inn at the village entrance to rest first? I want to catch up with you tonight. Tomorrow, we can set off for Jingzhou together.”
Wang Xiaohu naturally agreed. He said,"Alright, we'll do as Big Brother Yu says. We'll stay in this village tonight." Miss Su, Yiru, let's go to the inn at the village entrance after we walk around.”
