To be honest, the development of this matter was beyond Meng Xiuyuan's expectation.
He never expected that Qiao Feng would be so careless and be followed by Xiao Yuanshan without even realizing it.
Thinking about the reason, we can only say that because of Meng Xiuyuan's appearance, Qiao Feng was spared a lot of hardships and setbacks, and since he was accompanied by a beautiful woman, he naturally became less vigilant.
Of course, thinking about these things is no longer helpful. Meng Xiuyuan's first priority at this time is to meet with the two elders and everyone from the Xiaoyao sect as soon as possible to confirm their safety.
Shi Qinglu did not explicitly state their whereabouts in the letter, only saying it was the "old place". Apparently she was afraid that Xiao Yuanshan would search again and accidentally discover the letter, exposing their location.
Inferring from this, the so-called "old place" probably does not refer to the Deaf and Mute Valley in Leigu Mountain, because many people in the world know that the deaf-mute gate of "Mr. Congbian" Su Xinghe is there.
If Xiao Yuanshan really had to kill Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, it would not be difficult to track him down.
It is more likely that what he is referring to is the Wuliang Jade Cave in Dali. Wu Yazi once told Meng Xiuyuan that the cave is very hidden and is a perfect place to hide.
The matter was urgent, Meng Xiuyuan did not dare to hesitate and set off immediately.
Under such circumstances, Meng Xiuyuan could no longer wander around with the two girls. After leaving the valley, he briefly explained the situation to them and said goodbye.
Although Zhong Ling was reluctant to give up, he was also sensible and knew that he could no longer be willful at this moment, so he only asked Meng Xiuyuan to be careful in everything he did.
In this way, Meng Xiuyuan hurried towards the southwest by himself, using Qinggong all the way, and his speed became faster than that of a horse. The journey of five to six thousand miles only took less than half a month.
Because he had caught red clams earlier, Meng Xiuyuan was quite familiar with the environment in Wuliang Mountain. He walked directly to a cliff in the back mountain of Wuliang Sword Sect and looked down. The deep valley was filled with clouds and mist, and there was no end in sight.
Meng Xiuyuan knew that the Infinite Jade Cave should be at the bottom of this deep valley, and there was no way down the mountain, so he simply jumped down from the cliff.
His body was like a fallen leaf with feathers floating in the air. During this period, he only used force to slow down a few times on the rock wall, and then leisurely fell hundreds of feet deep and reached the bottom of the deep valley safely.
After his feet were firmly planted, he looked around and saw that Meng Xiuyuan was standing on an open space on the shore, surrounded by endless lake water.
A large waterfall on the cliff on the left is like a jade dragon hanging in the air, rolling down and pouring into the large lake. The lake water rolls where the waterfall enters, and only about ten feet away from the waterfall, the lake water becomes as flat as a mirror, and is extremely clear.
This kind of place can indeed be called isolated from the world, and it is perfect for living in seclusion or avoiding enemies.
"Senior Brother Wuyazi, I'm here."
Meng Xiuyuan didn't know the specific location of the Infinite Jade Cave, and he didn't have the patience to search for it bit by bit. He simply tried to channel his true energy and spoke loudly to the rocky mountain wall.
The technique he uses is special, and the sound inspired by his true energy is quite penetrating. It is thought that it can be heard even in this mountain.
Sure enough, a moment later, there was a sudden sound more than ten feet to his side. A rock that looked exactly like a mountain was pushed open, and two familiar figures emerged from it.
"Uncle Master?!" "Uncle Master, you are finally here..."
When Shi Qinglu and Xue Muhua saw Meng Xiuyuan, their eyes turned red, and there was indescribable sadness in their voices.
Meng Xiu saw the situation and stood quietly for a moment, then suddenly bent down and bowed apologetically to the two of them:
"This disaster of the Xiaoyao Sect is all caused by me.
The deaths of Fan Bailing and Feng Asan should also be blamed on me.
It's me, Meng Xiuyuan, I can't help you..."
Two of Hangu's eight friends died, and the grief and grief of the remaining six can be imagined.
Shi Qinglu and Xue Muhua were entrusted by Meng Xiuyuan to take care of Qiao Sanhuai and his wife for so many years. Meng Xiuyuan felt really sorry for what happened in the end.
"No, no, no, uncle, please don't say that.
It is because we are not good at studying and are unable to resist the enemy, and we have really lost the face of Xiaoyao Sect."
"Senior brother is right. The master uncle cleaned up the family and helped us return to the Xiaoyao sect. We are still grateful.
It’s all due to our incompetence, we can’t even do this little bit of advice from our great uncle…”
When the two of them saw Meng Xiuyuan saluting them, they couldn't help waving their hands in panic. As they spoke, they wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Meng Xiuyuan.
Meng Xiuyuan was not ashamed to accept their courtesy, so he lifted them up in the air. He walked past them silently, patted them both on the shoulders, and then walked into the cave.
The light in the cave was dim, and after only walking for more than ten steps, there was little light. Fortunately, the ground was flat, and after walking for several dozen steps, I saw an open door with bright lights inside.
After entering the door and turning a corner, several familiar figures were already looking forward to it, including Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, who looked a bit older, as well as Hangu Bayou and Su Xinghe, but Wu Yazi was missing.
"Uncle Master, it's great that you are here. Come and see my master.
Since his forced attack a year ago, he has been seriously injured and has been getting worse.
As of today, the situation is already extremely bad. If you come a few days later, he may not be able to survive..."
When Su Xinghe saw Meng Xiuyuan, he stepped forward and took his hand, saying excitedly.
…
It was important to save people. Meng Xiuyuan had no time to talk to the Qiao family and his wife, so he followed Su Xinghe's lead and came to a circular stone room.
There was no light in this room, but it was dimly lit.
Looking for the light, I saw that it was a window made of polished crystal embedded in the stone wall. Outside the window, the green water was swaying, and fish and shrimps were swimming back and forth. As far as the eye could see, there was no end.
Apparently, this stone room was built at the bottom of the lake, allowing the view of the lake outside to penetrate.
"How's it going, little junior brother, my house is well built, isn't it?
I came up with this idea on a whim at that time. Although it was interesting, it did take a lot of effort..."
At this moment, Wu Yazi was just like when he first met Meng Xiuyuan, hanging by a rope on the roof of the stone room. Under the dim light, he could also see a few wrinkles on his face, making him look slightly haggard.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing that Meng Xiuyuan was attracted by the scenery in the room, he felt happy and couldn't help but speak with a little pride, but there was a weakness in his voice that could not be concealed.
Seeing the situation, Meng Xiu had complicated thoughts in his heart and was full of apologies. He could only smile reluctantly at Wu Yazi, nodded and replied:
"Senior brother is very knowledgeable and talented. Apart from his martial arts skills, he is indeed far beyond what I can compare to.
This stone chamber is so ingenious that no one else in hundreds of years can do it."
"Hahaha, I, Wu Yazi, have been praised by others all my life, and I have always found it annoying.
But it is a great honor for me to say these words from the mouth of you, the head disciple... Ahem."
Wu Yazi was obviously very happy after hearing Meng Xiuyuan's words, but when he was a little excited, the injuries on his body were affected, and his expression was very painful for a while.
Meng Xiuyuan quickly flew up, holding the rope around his body with one hand and holding his back tightly with his other hand, using his true energy to heal his injuries.
After half an hour of this, when Meng Xiuyuan slowly landed on the ground again, the pain on Wu Yazi's face was greatly reduced, and even a few wrinkles on his face disappeared.
"Junior brother, you have opened my eyes.
It turns out that I can actually practice internal martial arts to reach your level. It’s incredible..."
Both of them practiced the "Beiming Divine Skill", so Wu Yazi was even more surprised by Meng Xiuyuan's vitality, which was as vast as a river.
Two years of hard training in the Lingjiu Palace, coupled with a few traces of the light spirit of heaven and earth, made Meng Xiuyuan's internal strength even further advanced, almost otherworldly.
Wherever Beiming's true energy passed, the meridians and organs in Wuyazi's body healed old wounds and were rejuvenated. The originally precarious situation was quickly rescued.
The expression on Meng Xiuyuan's face was not very good-looking. He stood in silence for a long time, then took a deep breath and said Chaowu Yazi
"Senior brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to fully cure your injury this time...
I'm sorry, I caused you trouble."
Wu Yazi was seriously injured and dying more than ten years ago, and his life was hanging by a thread. Meng Xiuyuan devoted all his efforts to rescue him, and he was able to maintain his body's balance and live like a normal person at the expense of never using martial arts again.
This time, in order to stop Xiao Yuanshan from committing the crime, he forcibly mobilized his true energy and launched a sneak attack with all his strength. In one blow, he not only injured Xiao Yuanshan, but also shattered his already fragile internal meridians.
The injuries were getting worse and worse, and it was hard for a god to save him. With Meng Xiuyuan's ability, he could only keep him alive for a short period of time.
However, Wu Yazi himself was very calm, smiled, shook his head, and advised Meng Xiuyuan:
"Junior brother, you don't need to be like this.
That day in the Valley of Flowers in Wuxi, the gangsters were highly skilled in martial arts and bent on killing. If I hadn't taken action, no one in the valley would have survived.
Now I can save my life for the time being and save most of the younger disciples, which is already a very good result.
Furthermore, before we met, I was already a living dead.
Enduring the pain every day, I linger in the valley of deafness and muteness, looking for someone who can avenge me.
It was you who allowed me to live for more than ten years without any injury or pain, and also eradicated Ding Chunqiu, the man who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors.
Anyway, I should thank you..."
Having said this, Wu Yazi looked at Meng Xiuyuan, his eyes filled with admiration:
"Junior brother, my whole life I have always kept my eyes on my head. I consider myself to be unparalleled in talent and learning, and I never look down on others.
I really admire your talent in martial arts.
Just now you worked hard for me, and I actually felt a trace of Master's aura from you...
Originally, I still had two regrets in the rest of my life. One was that I could not inherit Master's legacy and fully learn the essence of the Xiaoyao sect's magical skills.
Now it seems that you have made up for my regret."
Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this. He knew that Wu Yazi said that the change should be caused by him absorbing the Qingling Qi. He couldn't help but feel happy, secretly thinking that he was indeed on the right path.
But after a moment, Meng Xiuyuan raised his head again and asked Wu Yazi:
"Senior brother, you said you have two regrets. What is the other one?"
Wu Yazi saved Qiao Sanhuai and his wife at the cost of decades of life. Although he did not recognize it himself, Meng Xiuyuan was very grateful to him, so he tried his best to fulfill his last wish.
Wu Yazi laughed loudly when he heard this and said calmly:
"Junior brother, if you don't mention this matter, I just want to ask you for help.
When I was young, I had a daughter named Li Qingluo with my junior sister Li Qiushui.
I was so lost at that time that I only circled around a jade carving in the cave all day long, neglecting the mother and daughter.
Looking back now, it really shouldn't have happened.
In the past ten years or so, I have secretly searched for her several times with Xinghe, and looked at her from a distance.
She just thought about her irresponsible father who had been her father for many years. Now that she had grown up alone, she had no face to recognize him.
Now that my life is not long, I would like to ask you to help me take care of her.
A master like you will definitely be able to protect her..."
As soon as Wu Yazi finished speaking, Meng Xiuyuan's body trembled and his ears buzzed.
It has been two years since he killed Li Qingluo, and he has always felt that he had a clear conscience and that he had done nothing wrong.
But at this moment, looking at Wu Yazi in front of him, who first taught his skills and saved people, and was kind to him twice, Meng Xiuyuan felt complicated for a moment.
After a long while, Meng Xiuyuan took a deep breath, raised his head, and said to Wu Yazi:
"Brother, I haven't had time to talk to you about this yet.
That Li Qingluo died two years ago.
I killed him."
…
Seven days later, the Wuliang Jade Cave had become deserted.
Wu Yazi, Su Xinghe, and Hangu's eight friends have all left, leaving only Meng Xiuyuan and Qiao Sanhuai's couple still living here temporarily.
During these seven days, Meng Xiuyuan did his best to help Wu Yazi practice Qigong and heal his injuries, allowing him to barely survive for half a year.
Wu Yazi didn't say anything harsh to Meng Xiuyuan during the whole process, he just sat alone in silence feeling sad.
By this morning, Meng Xiuyuan's performance was completed, and Wu Yazi said goodbye to him immediately and led his disciple Su Xinghe to the Lingjiu Palace in Tianshan Mountain.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! According to what he said, he wanted to meet his senior sister and resolve the grievances of his generation, so as not to implicate the younger generations.
After losing her daughter, Wu Yazi seemed to have a family switch turned on in her heart. The guilt she felt towards her daughter was transferred to her granddaughter Wang Yuyan.
Meng Xiuyuan had nothing to say about this, but secretly decided that if there was an opportunity in the future, he would take more care of Wang Yuyan.
As for the eight friends of Han Valley, because they no longer had to protect Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, they also left the valley and decided to go back to their respective homes.
When parting, these six people, after bowing respectfully to Meng Xiuyuan, had already walked away, but suddenly they all turned around, rushed back to Meng Xiuyuan, and kowtowed to Meng Xiuyuan like crazy.
Meng Xiuyuan was puzzled by their behavior and hurried to help them, but they refused to get up.
In the end, the six of them spoke out what they were thinking and pleaded with Meng Xiuyuan in unison with tears, begging him, the great uncle of the master, to avenge the deaths of Fan Bailing and Feng Asan.
Meng Xiuyuan was silent for a moment when he heard the words, then nodded and responded to their words seriously.
In this way, after the Xiaoyao faction had dispersed, Meng Xiuyuan took Qiao Sanhuai and his wife and set off all the way north to the border between Dali and Tubo.
His trip was naturally headed for the "Eternal Spring Valley" because the only paradise he could think of in this world was here and the Kunlun Green Valley.
Comparatively speaking, the aura of Changchun Valley is stronger and there are many villagers to accompany it, so it is obviously more suitable to house Qiao Sanhuai and his wife.
After hearing Meng Xiuyuan's plan, the two elders never refused.
Because although they are honest and simple, they are not stupid. It is natural to see that the villain who looked similar to Qiao Feng in the attack a year ago was coming towards them.
Because of this incident, the Happy Sect, which was originally happy and happy, ended up in such a miserable state, and the old couple felt extremely guilty.
Now I heard that Meng Xiuyuan said that he wanted to relocate them to a safe place, so naturally he tried his best to cooperate and did not want to cause any more trouble to Meng Xiuyuan.
The three of them drove all the way north, and when they reached a difficult and dangerous part of the mountain road, Meng Xiuyuan found a large pole and modified it slightly, adding two rattan chairs with straps, and carried the two elderly people on his shoulders.
The extra two hundred kilograms of weight on his body did not affect Meng Xiuyuan at all. He climbed up and down the rugged mountain road as if he were walking on flat ground.
After entering the Immortal Changchun Valley, Meng Xiuyuan simply gave instructions to the village chief, Mr. Mu Zeng, and after settling the old couple in place, he said goodbye and left.
After rushing all the way, Meng Xiuyuan finally arrived at Songshan Mountain in Henan Province on the day of Laba Festival.
Looking at the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple from a distance, many martial arts people have gathered here.
At this time, there was a rapid sound of hoofbeats on the mountain road, and someone came riding on horseback like the wind. Following the sound, the man looked really familiar.
"Brother Meng, why are you here? Are you here to watch the fun?
By the way, have you visited Huagu in Wuxi?
Why are my adopted father and mother gone without a trace, so a good valley is also in ruins?"
