Just like that, both sides had their own plans. They chased after the four green-robed men from several zhang apart.
After running for a few miles, they came to a stream. Shen Mo saw the four men carrying the old man onto the boat. The two of them pulled the oars and went upstream. Everyone chased along the shore. After chasing for about a mile, they saw a small boat in the stream. Shen Mo and the Imperial Advisor Jin Lun rushed into the boat at the same time.
Shen Mo also made a prompt decision and replied,""Alright."
The other five people also entered the boat. Shen Mo, Xiao Longnu, and Li Mochou stood at the bow, while Jin Lun and the rest stood at the stern. The eight of them were on the same boat, and they were on guard against each other as they chased after them. At this time, everyone exchanged their names. Shen Mo knew that the short and dark person was an expert from India, Planet Nemo. The giant man was from the Western Regions and his name was Ma Guangzuo.
Ma Guangzuo's strength was great. He pulled the oar and rowed. In an instant, he caught up with him for several feet. However, the stream twisted and turned a few times before the boat disappeared.
Planet Nemo jumped up from the boat and climbed up the cliff. In an instant, he climbed more than ten feet like an ape. Looking around, he saw that the boat of the green-robed man had already entered an extremely narrow stream at the west end. There was a large clump of trees blocking the entrance of the stream. If one did not look down from a high vantage point, one would not know that there was actually a cave in this deep valley. He jumped back into the boat and pointed out the direction. Everyone quickly turned the bow and rowed in the direction they came from. They rowed in through the bushes. The rocks in the stream cave were no more than three feet above the water. They had to lie down in the cabin before the boat could enter. After a while, he saw two mountain peaks standing on both sides. Looking up at the sky, only a line was left. The mountains were green and the water was green. The scenery was extremely quiet. There was no sound in the surroundings, and there was a faint hint of danger. After another three or four miles, nine large stones suddenly stood in the middle of the stream, blocking the way of the boat like a screen. There was a slight gap between the rocks, allowing the stream to flow through.
Ma Guangzuo was the first to shout,"Oh no, oh no, this boat can't row anymore."”Xiao Xiangzi said sinisterly,"You have the strength of a bull, carry the boat over."”"I don't have that much strength, unless you're a zombie and use demonic magic," Ma Guangzuo said angrily.”
"No one can lift this ship by themselves," said Jin Lun Imperial Advisor."The eight of us can do it together.”
Everyone cheered in unison. They stood on both sides and found a firm foothold on the rocks. Fortunately, the stream was extremely narrow. Eight people stood on both sides and reached out their hands to hold the boat. "Rise!" The Imperial Advisor shouted. The eight of them exerted their strength at the same time. With a wave, the boat left the water and crossed the stone screen made of nine large rocks.
Everyone jumped back to the bow of the ship and clapped their hands together. These eight people were originally scheming against each other and were quite hostile to each other. After working together, their relationship eased quite a bit and they began to have some conversations with each other. Although they only talked about some casual stories, they seemed to be getting along quite well with each other.
As they spoke, they reached the end of the stream. The eight of them abandoned the boat and walked along the path into the deep valley.
There was only one path in the mountain, so they wouldn't go wrong. However, the higher they went, the more rugged it became. The sky was getting dark, but the four green-robed men were still nowhere to be seen. Just as they were feeling anxious, they suddenly saw a few piles of fire in the distance. Everyone was overjoyed and ran forward. They knew that they were in danger and were on guard. Other than Xiao Longnu, everyone else had ventured into Jianghu alone and experienced many dangers. Now that the eight masters had entered the mountain side by side, who in the world could stop them? Therefore, although he was wary, he was not afraid.
Not long after, they arrived at a flat area on the peak of the mountain. They saw a huge bonfire burning. After walking for a few dozen feet, they could clearly see a stone house behind the bonfire.
"Hey, hey, there's a guest! Come out quickly." The door of the stone house slowly opened, and four people came out. Three men and one woman. They were the four green-robed men from the day. The four of them bowed, and the person on the right said,""Esteemed guests have come from afar and I am truly sorry for not being able to welcome you.”"Alright, alright," replied the Imperial Tutor. "Please come in," the man said.
Shen Mo and the other eight people entered the stone house and saw that the house was empty. Other than a few tables, there were no other furnishings. The four men and women in green followed him in and sat on the main seat. "I don't dare to ask for your names."”The seven of them told him their names.
Shen Mo had learned from the conversation with Jin Lun and the others that the old man that the four of them had captured was the old naughty boy, Zhou Botong. "Why did you capture the old naughty boy Zhou Botong and bring him here?" he asked.”
"Is that troublemaker surnamed Zhou?" the first green-robed man asked. It's not in vain for him to be called an old urchin." As he spoke, he was filled with hatred. Then, the four of them told him about how Zhou Botong kicked over the pill furnace, broke the Lingzhi, tore the Taoist book, burned the sword room, and caused trouble in the valley.
After that, Yi Kexi asked them for the name of the owner of this place, but the four of them refused to reveal their identities. Yinkexi then asked them why the old naughty boy was in a difficult position with the owner of this place, but they changed the topic with the excuse of eating.
Soon after, four green-robed men entered the kitchen to take the rice and vegetables. In a while, the four pots of vegetables were served. The green ones were green vegetables, the white ones were tofu radishes, the yellow ones were bean sprouts, and the black ones were mushrooms. There was actually no meat in them. Then, he took out a large porcelain bottle and poured a bowl of clear water in front of everyone. Ma Guangzuo had always been a glutton. Seeing that there was neither meat nor wine in this meal, he could not help but be disappointed. The four of them saw the unfriendly expressions on everyone's faces and explained to them that there was a ban in the valley, which forbade them from eating meat and wine. Although Jin Lun Imperial Advisor and the others were dissatisfied, they did not flare up when they saw the strange atmosphere in the valley.
That night, the eight of them slept peacefully in the stone house. There were only a few straw mats on the ground. He felt that everything in the valley was completely unreasonable. It was even more rigorous and boring than the temple. Although the monks in the temple were vegetarian, they would not be so cold and unsmiling to others.
