After passing through the monastery and crossing the 999 steps, Ruoshui arrived at the mountain gate.
This was one of the places he was most familiar with in the entire Mao Mountain. After all, he had guarded the mountain gate here for two years and was the last disciple for two years. Although Ruo Shui was also a last disciple now, he no longer needed to come here to close his door.
As it was still early and the sky was not bright yet, he walked into Ruoshui and saw a familiar figure standing behind the mountain gate. At this moment, he was strenuously removing the door bolt. He used all his strength to slowly open the mahogany door that weighed a few tons.
Looking at his speed, it was likely that he would not be able to open the mountain gate for a while.
In the end, Ruo Shui still helped. She grabbed the door that was slightly opened and pulled it gently. Then, that figure realized that the door had actually opened on its own accord?
He seemed to be in a daze. He turned around and saw Ruoshui standing behind him. He was shocked.
When he saw Ruoshui's appearance, he hurriedly bowed respectfully and called out,""Little Martial Uncle!"
"Wang Lin, you've replaced me as Mao Mountain's last disciple?”Ruo Shui teased with a smile.
This familiar figure was none other than the little Daoist Wang Lin who had come down the mountain two years ago to call him back. It seemed like he had replaced Ruo Shui to guard the mountain gate ever since.
Wang Lin was 18 years old like Ruo Shui, but he was only 1.6 meters tall, half a head shorter than the 1.7-meter Ruo Shui.
Hearing Ruo Shui's teasing, Wang Lin smiled in embarrassment. Then he looked at Ruo Shui with admiration."Little Martial Uncle, aren't you too amazing? How did you open such a heavy door so easily?”
"Maybe it's because I'm stronger!”
Ruo Shui smiled and patted Wang Lin's shoulder."I'll leave the mountain gate to you in the future. You have to protect the safety of the mountain gate well!”
Wang Lin nodded. At this moment, he noticed that Ruo Shui was fully dressed. She was carrying a bag on her back and an exquisitely carved peach wood sword on her back. She seemed to be planning to leave the mountain. He asked with envy,"Little Martial Uncle, did you receive the order of the Heavenly Teacher to go down the mountain to buy things?”
Like Ruoshui, he had not gone down the mountain for a long time, so he was very envious when he saw Ruoshui could go down the mountain.
Ruo Shui nodded and shook her head,""I did go down the mountain, but not to buy things. I went down the mountain to train.”
"Going down the mountain to train…" "Little Martial Uncle, you've met the requirements to leave the mountain?" That would require the accumulation of magic power!”
"A surge of magic power?"
Ruo Shui smiled in her heart and wondered if Wang Lin would be scared if she told him she had eight strands of spiritual energy in her body. Of course, Ruoshui did not have the intention of showing off to Ruoshui. She only nodded,""I have already met the requirements, so I can go down the mountain to train. How much magic power have you accumulated now?”
"Um... Just a wisp." Wang Lin smiled in embarrassment. The gap between him and Ruoshui was too big! He could only say,'I'm little uncle-master! How could he be comparable to me?'Such a reason was used to brush him off.
"Continue to work hard!"
Ruo Shui patted Wang Lin's shoulder again and stepped through the gate.
"Goodbye! Wang Lin."
She waved her hand and walked further and further away until she completely disappeared from Wang Lin's sight.
The mountain gate slowly disappeared in front of her. Ruo Shui seemed to heave a sigh of relief, but her heart felt heavy and uncomfortable.
He didn't know when he would be back again, but he had made up his mind that he would return to the mountain to visit the old Celestial Master as long as he had the time and opportunity.
Thinking of this, Ruo Shui's mood became happy. This was the first time he had gone down the mountain in eighteen years. He could finally see the scenery at the foot of the mountain! He wondered what this world was like.
Slowly growing curious and excited, Ruo Shui's footsteps also became cheerful.
However…
Ruo Shui walked for a long time but still did not see the end of the mountain path. When he did not see the end of the stairs, his mood collapsed.
Why was Mao Mountain so tall? If this continued, when would they reach the bottom of the mountain?
Ruo Shui grumbled in her heart. Being illuminated by the scorching sun hanging in the sky for a long time, she felt dizzy! Not only that, but he also discovered a fatal problem. I didn't bring any food or water!
He was still too young and had completely forgotten that dry food and water were essential for traveling. Without these things, no one would know if he died of thirst or hunger on the way.
Should he go back and get some dry food and water before going down the mountain?
Such a thought appeared in Ruo Shui's mind, but after thinking about it, he gave up. It would be too troublesome to go back and get the things! What if they were about to descend the mountain? He would buy these necessities in the small town near the foot of the mountain!
After walking for another four hours, Ruo Shui's legs were about to break!
At this moment, there was good news and bad news. The good news was that he had already reached the foot of the mountain. The bad news was that he had only discovered a very cruel fact at this moment, and that was…There was no one at the foot of the mountain. Even if he wanted to spend money to buy something to eat or drink, he couldn't do it.
Her body was already exhausted, and her cheerful and expectant mood had all disappeared. At this time, the only thing Ruoshui wanted was to find some water to drink and something to eat.
Fortunately, there was a road at the foot of the mountain. There was a road that meant that someone had passed by here. As long as they followed the road, they would definitely find people. However, they did not know how long it would take.
Tired and hungry, Ruoshui felt that his stomach was almost sticking to his back. Coupled with his broken legs, he really could not walk anymore.
She sat down on the side of the road and leaned against a big rock. Ruoshui actually fell asleep unknowingly.
"Phew!"
A loud shout woke Ruo Shui from her sleep. Her head slowly regained consciousness, and Ruo Shui jumped down from the carriage.
No! Why was he sitting in a carriage?
He looked at the exquisitely decorated carriage beside him. Although there was no mirror, he knew very well that the expression on his face must be stunned.
Ruoshui was indeed a little confused because he remembered that he had fallen asleep at the foot of Mao Mountain! Why would he appear here?
At this moment, a simple and honest middle-aged face stretched out from the driver's seat of the carriage. He looked at Ruo Shui and revealed a simple and honest smile,""Little Taoist priest, you're awake?"
"May I ask this uncle, what's the situation now?”Ruo Shui stared blankly at the middle-aged man and asked.
"It's like this." " I went to the provincial capital to pick up my lady," the middle-aged man explained." When I passed by the foot of Mao Mountain, I found you unconscious at the foot of the mountain." My young lady is kind. She pitied you, so she fed you some water and brought you to the carriage.”
