Watching Yuan Ming being taken away by the third cave master, Kun Tu did not dare to move, and his face became extremely livid.
"Fellow Daoist Kuntu, if we failed to eradicate the root cause today, the feud is dead. In the future, either you will die or he will die." Elder Huhuo said with a deep look in his eyes.
"You don't need to tell me this." Kun Tu narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
…
The first time he rode a spiritual beast and flew high in the sky, Yuan Ming inevitably felt a little uneasy.
But after a little adaptation, he calmed down, felt the whistling wind around him, and turned sideways to look down.
At this time, he was hundreds of feet above the ground, and the vast mountain forest below became dim and unclear in the night, leaving only a vague shadow of the rolling mountains, which gave him the feeling of being as insignificant as an ant in a precarious building.
Yuan Ming withdrew his gaze and looked up at the sky. He saw misty clouds high in the sky and a sparse moon and stars. They did not appear to be closer to him just because he was flying higher.
At this time, Yuan Ming felt the gaze. After looking over, he found that on the shoulder of the third cave master, the fire ferret poked out half of its furry head, and its round eyes were staring at him.
Yuan Ming was considered to have indirectly saved his life by it, so he smiled at him, and the latter blinked.
The Fire Feather Falcon spread its wings and soared. Not long after, bright lights lit up in the darkness below. Yuan Ming looked up and saw a large building with lights on in his sight.
The Biluodong Sect is backed by Shiwanda Mountain and is also built in the vast mountain forest. However, where the main body of the sect is located, the vegetation is not as dense as that of Shiwandashan.
As he got closer and closer, Yuan Ming suddenly discovered that there was a looming layer of mist covering the area where the sect buildings were concentrated, making it difficult to see clearly.
When he concentrated the power of his soul around his eyes, he was finally sure that the mist did exist.
Moreover, the mist is like an inverted cauldron. The closer it is to the bottom of the pot, the thicker it is. On the contrary, the closer it is to the edge of the pot, the thinner it is.
Yuan Ming wanted to ask, but seeing the cold back of the third cave master, he ultimately did not ask.
At this time, the Fire Feather Falcon was seen flying outside the layer of mist, but suddenly stopped.
On the waist of the third cave master, there was suddenly a scarlet-colored waist badge. The surface of the badge flashed, and a layer of hazy light shone, covering the two of them and the two beasts.
Immediately, their group was shrouded in light and easily passed through the light curtain and entered it.
Entering the mist barrier, the Fire Feather Falcon began to descend and fly, and the scenery below immediately became clearer and clearer.
At a glance, Yuan Ming saw the canyon and the giant bronze gate that he and the group of savages had walked through when they were captured together, which were located in the northeast of the Biluo Cave Sect.
The terrain of the entire Biluo Cave is higher in the west and lower in the east, distributed in a three-level step shape.
At the far east is an open bluestone square. On both sides of the square are several martial arts platforms slightly higher than the ground. In the middle area, one floor higher, there are seven or eight exotic circular buildings.
This is basically the same scene as what Yuan Ming saw when he first entered Biluo Cave.
On the west side, where the terrain is the highest, there are three slightly raised peaks adjacent to each other. The peak on the southwest side is the shortest and is just a protruding hilly area, with rows of ridge-like divisions visible in it.
The peaks in the central region to the west are slightly higher, while the peak closest to Shiwandashan in the north has the highest terrain and the largest area.
Although it was already night, lights were still bright everywhere in the sect, and there were faint sounds of roars of various beasts.
The Fire Feather Falcon flapped its wings and flew down toward the middle of the three peaks.
As he continued to get closer, Yuan Ming gradually saw several courtyards scattered on the top of the mountain. They were of various sizes and specifications, and their styles were very different from the round buildings in front of them. They were more similar to the Central Plains buildings in Yuan Ming's memory.
Finally, the Fire Feather Falcon carried them to a white stone square with a radius of 100 feet in the front mountain.
After landing, Yuan Ming looked around and saw a green stone tablet not far from him, standing on the edge of the square, with a column of southern characters on it: "Huoliantang."
The third cave master immediately asked Yuan Ming to follow him, and the two of them crossed the square and came to a courtyard.
At this moment, a woman in a fiery red dress with an eye-catching green belt tied around her waist suddenly ran over from a distance, stopped in front of her, lowered her head and saluted the Lord of the Third Cave.
"I've met Master."
As soon as the woman opened her mouth, Yuan Ming felt that her voice was somewhat familiar. He raised his eyebrows and found that she was indeed an acquaintance.
"Chen Wan, you came just in time. This is a new registered disciple named... Yuan Ming. You take him to the other courtyard of the registered disciples and arrange a place for him." The third cave master looked at the woman and said.
The moment Chen Wan heard the name, she immediately raised her head and met Yuan Ming's eyes, but was stunned for a moment.
After regaining consciousness, Chen Wan quickly responded and said: "Disciple, I obey."
The Third Cave Master nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. He looked at Yuan Ming and saw that the scars on his body had scabbed over. He was quite surprised at his resilience.
"You were born as a furry beast slave, and the poison of the Corrupt Heart Pill has not been removed from your body. Take these Qingxin Pills. Although they are not the antidote specifically for the poison of the Corrupt Heart Pill, after taking them for three days, you can still get rid of the poison.
The remaining poison on the body." The third cave master said.
"Thank you so much, Lord Three Cave." Yuan Ming immediately clasped his fists in thanks.
After the third cave master left a small white jade porcelain vase, he hugged the fire mink and walked away.
But the "greedy boy" got his head out of her arms, leaned over his shoulder, and looked at Yuan Ming.
After he walked away, Chen Wan put away her respectful gesture and looked at Yuan Ming with a little doubt.
"Master has a casual temperament. It is usually arranged by the sect and there is no precedent of taking the initiative to bring back a named disciple. How could she..." Chen Wan frowned and looked at Yuan Ming, puzzled.
"Why did you bring back a furry beast slave?" Yuan Ming added.
Chen Wan did not shy away and nodded calmly.
"It's a blessing in disguise. Speaking of which, I have to thank Kuntu..." Yuan Ming chuckled and said.
Hearing the name "Kun Tu", Chen Wan's heart skipped a beat and she realized what had happened. However, after hearing Yuan Ming explain what happened, her face became even more ugly.
"I didn't expect him to be so vicious and gang up to murder you."
"Killing people and silencing them. Only the dead can keep secrets best. It's not surprising..." At this point, Yuan Ming suddenly stopped and looked at Chen Wan.
He raised his eyebrows and asked:
"What I'm curious about is, Senior Sister Chen, why didn't you report to the sect that you were conspired to humiliate you before?"
Chen Wan heard this, her eyes flickered for a long time, and she sighed and said: "What happened that day is all verbal testimony from all parties, and there is no substantive evidence. Your words and mine will not be accepted."
Hearing that what she said was "your words and mine" rather than "your one-sided words", Yuan Ming's expression softened slightly.
"Besides, Kun Tu has already entered the inner sect. His master, Elder Mengshan, is the second in command of the Beast Taming Hall. His status is different from other elders. I..."
"I understand." Yuan Ming nodded.
He is not a pedantic and stubborn person, and he naturally knows that there are times when people cannot help themselves.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know that this would almost cost you your life... But you can be considered a blessing in disguise. I hope this matter will stop here and will not be mentioned again in the future. Master, she has a temperament that does not want to deal with worldly affairs. I
I don't want to cause trouble for her just after joining her sect." Chen Wan suddenly changed the topic and said.
After hearing this, Yuan Ming was about to reply when he suddenly heard a long meow.
"Meow……"
The extremely long ending seemed to express a feeling of dissatisfaction.
Yuan Ming was surprised for a while and looked around, but he didn't see any trace of the cat.
Chen Wan was also puzzled and said: "It's strange, since when have there been wild cats on the mountain?"
"Senior Sister Chen, please take me to my residence." Yuan Ming took the opportunity to change the subject and said.
Chen Wan nodded and led him around the courtyard not far away, saying as he walked:
"This is the residence of the Huolian Hall servants, who are responsible for the daily living and food of the disciples. The courtyard where your registered disciples live is at the back. There are currently a total of one hundred and thirty-eight registered disciples, each of whom has an independent living room."
During her introduction, the two came to a complex of buildings covering an extremely large area. The houses were located next to each other, only a few feet apart. There was no separate yard, making it seem quite compact.
"Sister Chen, is there a relatively quiet place?" Yuan Ming asked.
Chen Wan thought for a while and said: "Yes, after the last trial, eight Huoliantang disciples died. Five of them were close friends and lived close by, but none of them could come back. The area where they lived was...
If it becomes vacant, no one will choose to live there for a while."
"Okay, then take me there." Yuan Ming said immediately.
"You...okay." Chen Wan hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
The two of them walked along the path between the houses toward the depths of the backyard. The houses in front of them were basically dark and obviously uninhabited.
Yuan Ming felt no taboo at all and chose a house under an old pine tree in the corner as his residence.
"The mattresses here have been changed. I will inform the servants and stewards tomorrow and arrange for someone to clean you every day. As for the lessons in Huoliantang, second senior brother Fangge is in charge of it. I will go to Huofang tomorrow. You
You will know." Chen Wan warned.
"Thank you very much." Yuan Ming wrote them down one by one.
"Get some rest early." Chen Wan said, then turned and left.
Yuan Ming was about to open the door and enter the house when he suddenly heard Chen Wan's voice coming from behind him: "By the way, you and I know this, and I hope you won't reveal it to others."
Hearing this, Yuan Ming froze.
Then, he opened the door with a creak and walked in.
Yuan Ming lit the oil lamp on the table, and the room was illuminated by dim firelight, and the rather simple and elegant furnishings immediately emerged.
The whole house is not too big. There is a bookcase and an imperial chair on the left side of the window. There is a pen and inkstone on the table, but there are no paper books.
In the middle of the room, there is a round table and four stools, with tea cups placed on them.
On the far right side of the room, a curtain was hung on a hollow wooden frame to create a simple partition. There was a rectangular datewood bed inside, with a mattress spread on it and quilts neatly folded.
Yuan Ming sat on the edge of the bed, feeling the soft touch coming from under his buttocks, and was speechless for a moment.
He had always behaved calmly before, but until now, his mind was still a little dizzy.
"Does this count me as joining the sect of Biluo Cave?"
