Yu Paopao led the two of them down behind the Emei disciple and walked out of the official road for more than ten miles. Although they were still several miles apart, Yu Paopao was very familiar with her scent and was not afraid of losing her. Mu Jingyu wanted to ask her what her plans were, but was interrupted because people kept passing by.
After finally reaching a sparsely populated place, the Emei disciple suddenly looked around with vigilance and then ducked into an extremely secluded mountain forest road next to the official road.
If Yu Paopao hadn't focused all his attention on her, he really wouldn't have noticed that she suddenly disappeared.
"We should be at the right place." Yu Paopao walked a few steps quickly and said, "I have accidentally discovered the secret of Senior Sister Miaoyuan before. But I have only been here with her, and I don't know the way further in. Let's Hurry up and follow us, or you may disappear if you are late."
After Mu Jingyu responded, he and Qin Yunchuan displayed their cultivation skills and started galloping along the official road. Fortunately, no one was around at this time, so there was no need to worry about revealing his true identity.
By the time the three of them arrived at the place where Miao Yuan disappeared, she had long since disappeared. Yu Paopao glanced inside a few times and found a dirt road hidden in the grass next to the official road. But not long after, the dirt road branched off into several forked roads, and it was impossible to figure out which way Miao Yuan left.
"Where are the people?" Mu Jingyu turned to look at Yu Paopao and asked.
"Don't worry, I'll feel Senior Sister Miaoyuan's aura before we talk." Yu Paopao calmed down, and a stream of true energy like light smoke emerged from his body and spread around.
After a while, he pointed to a dirt road to the south and said, "She should have left from here. Let's follow her quickly."
In order to prevent Miao Yuan from being alerted, the three of them did not dare to fly with their swords. They could only carefully push aside the grass and look for any traces she left. After driving slowly and hurriedly for four or five miles, I finally saw the traces of Miaoyuan's journey.
I saw Miao Yuan standing under the crown of a tall tree. After checking the surroundings vigilantly, he jumped to the crown of the tree. The three of them only dared to hide in the grass from a distance, waiting quietly for her to come down from the tree crown.
After a while, Miao Yuan had changed into a pair of coarse linen clothes and jumped down from the tree crown. She also concealed all her cultivation, pretended to be a mountain woman, and continued walking along the dirt road.
After she was far away, the three of them dared to come to the tree. After Yu Paopao went up and searched for a while, he took out a cloth bag. After laying it on the ground and unfolding it, the Emei Taoist robe that Miao Yuan took off was revealed.
Mu Jingyu said in confusion: "Sister Yu, what on earth is Miao Yuan doing here suddenly and changing his clothes?"
After Yu Paopao looked through the things left by Miao Yuan, his frown gradually relaxed: "I see, that's it~"
Qin Yunchuan urged: "Senior Sister Yu, what is your purpose for doing this? Tell us quickly."
Being led mysteriously by Yu Paopao, Qin Yunchuan finally couldn't help but ask as no one was around.
"Hey, of course I am doing this to take you to sneak into Mount Emei smoothly." After Yu Paopao rewrapped the Emei Taoist robe in a cloth bag, he explained his plan to the two of them.
"Actually, I already had a complete plan when I decided to take you into the master's sect. It's just that I didn't dare to tell the truth until I waited for Senior Sister Miaoyuan."
Yu Paopao told the two of them to catch up with Miao Yuan while telling them his plan in detail.
It turned out that she and Miaoyuan were both disciples of Master Su Xi of the Emei Sect's Yuelong Temple. Because not only are the two of them similar in age, but they also became disciples at roughly the same time. Therefore, the two people who have known each other since childhood have an excellent relationship.
It's just that Miaoyuan's character is quite withdrawn. Except for his master Su Xi, only Yu Paopao can speak a few words, and he doesn't have much contact with the rest of the Emei clan.
In addition, a year ago, when Yu Paopao was patrolling the boundaries of Mount Emei with her, he accidentally discovered that Miao Yuan had left for an excuse. After changing his appearance, he arrived nearby alone, not knowing what secret he was hiding from him.
In the following months, Yu Paopao was looking for opportunities to follow Miao Yuan, trying to find out what happened to her here. However, Miao Yuan got rid of him every time. Yu Paopao was worried that it would arouse Miao Yuan's suspicion, so he had to give up.
However, after tracking for the past few months, Yu Paopao discovered that Miao Yuan would go nearby alone on the first and fifteenth day of every month.
It happened to be the first day of the new year again, so Yu Paopao wanted to take Mu Jingyu and Qin Yunchuan, wait for Miao Yuan to appear again, and follow her quietly.
Let’s see what Miao Yuan is hiding. Secondly, he could subdue her while she was alone. He dressed up like her and returned to Mount Emei, where he joined Mu Jingyu and the two of them to sneak into the master's school and steal Tianxiang wood.
After hearing Yu Paopao's plan, Mu Jingyu and the two suddenly realized. If they follow Yu Paopao's plan, they can indeed sneak into Mount Emei smoothly without disturbing the Emei sect.
After hearing this, Mu Jingyu said: "Sister Yu, your plan is indeed good. I'm just worried that if you dress up as Master Miaoyuan, won't you worry that others will find out the clues? Besides, even if you are If we can return to the master's gate smoothly, how can we bring Brother Qin and me in?"
Yu Paopao smiled and said: "Jingyu, you can rest assured. I have been with Senior Sister Miaoyuan for many years, and I am very familiar with her words and deeds. I can imitate them very closely and will not be suspected. Besides, Miaoyuan When Senior Sister Yuan was in the sect, she rarely interacted with others. As long as I don’t have too many contacts with others, no one will find out.”
"As for how you enter Mount Emei, I have already discussed it with Senior Tai Er. Every day, special personnel will transport food and other things into Mount Emei, and those matters have long been quietly taken over by Senior Tai Er's Tianji Pavilion."
"As soon as I arrange everything, I will contact the people in Tianji Pavilion and transport you in secretly. After stealing the Tianxiang wood, I will find an opportunity to take you out the next day. I guarantee it will be foolproof."
After listening to this, Mu Jingyu and Qin Yunchuan did not dare to be completely sure about Yu Paopao's plan. But after much deliberation, it is indeed the best way now.
"Okay, let's follow Sister Yu's approach to this matter." After Mu Jingyu nodded, he agreed to Yu Paopao's plan.
After Master Miaoyuan changed into a pair of coarse linen clothes, she no longer showed the slightest bit of cultivation. Walking eastward along the dirt road, not far away, we saw large wheat fields at the end of our field of vision. Villagers in twos and threes are busy in the fields.
And further away, there is a small village. The whole village looked relatively affluent, but near the end of the village, there stood a solitary house made of stone, which looked a little out of place with the other houses in the village.
Miaoyuan tried his best to stay away from the villagers, and after bypassing the dirt road between the fields, he came to the most dilapidated stone courtyard.
As the door was pushed open with a creak, dim sunlight shone in, bringing a glimmer of light into the simple house.
The house was not big, and an old woman in her sixties or seventies was sitting on a bed made of several logs near the window. After hearing the sound of the door, he quickly stood up from the bed. From the look of her, it was obvious that she was blind.
"Yuan'er, you're back." The old woman said as she fumbled for a chair and motioned for Miao Yuan to sit down quickly.
"Mom, please go back to bed and lie down." Miao Yuan took two hurried steps, supported the old woman, and helped her sit on another chair.
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way. Although Mom can't see, her body is very strong." The old woman laughed and said: "Since you entered the immortal sect, you have brought me something to eat and drink from time to time. My body, But it’s getting better day by day.”
"Mom, you have always raised Yuan'er since my father passed away. Now that the child has some abilities, he should always be filial to you."
Miaoyuan took out the Qiankun bag from his arms, took out a lot of steamed buns, melons and fruits, and placed a full table: "These are the porridge steamed buns I just brought back. Please eat some of them quickly."
It turns out that Miao Yuan was an orphan since he was a child. If the old woman and his wife had not adopted him, he would not be alive today.
But when she was ten years old, because her family was poor, she happened to encounter the Emei Sect recruiting disciples. After bidding farewell to the couple, he became a disciple of the Emei Sect.
But ten years ago, the demons of Yaowei Palace suddenly came into conflict with Mount Emei. As a disciple of Emei, Miaoyuan naturally had to go out with his master to defend against enemies. But he didn't want to get separated from the Emei disciples during the fight.
When he was chased by the demons of the Demon Hades Hall all the way to the nearby area, in order to get rid of the pursuit, he fled home and was hurriedly hidden by his parents. Those spirits who refused to give up also followed, preparing to massacre the village in order to find out Miao Yuan.
Miaoyuan's adoptive father and mother knew that it was because of Miaoyuan that the entire village was in danger. In order to save the lives of hundreds of villagers in a village, Miaoyuan's adoptive father resolutely put on the Emei Taoist robe that Miaoyuan had taken off and led the spirits elsewhere, thus avoiding a catastrophe for the entire village.
Miao Yuan, who was out of danger, suddenly discovered that his adoptive father was missing and immediately understood what had happened. And her adoptive mother cried her eyes out because of her husband's sudden death, which made the already poor family even worse.
From then on, Miaoyuan became taciturn and rarely interacted with the villagers in the village and the disciples of the Emei Sect. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, I would take some silver distributed by Emei to buy some food for my adoptive mother.
However, after this incident, she was afraid that she would cause death to the village and her adoptive mother. Every time she returned home, she tried not to have contact with the villagers and avoided the Emei disciples.
Looking at his adoptive mother's increasingly frail body, Miao Yuan secretly vowed to let her spend the rest of her life safely. As soon as his adoptive mother passed away and he no longer had anything to worry about, he left the school alone to look for those ghosts from back then and avenge his adoptive father.
"Yuan'er, are you okay in the Immortal Sect? You don't have to worry about me, a blind old woman, every day. Practice hard and strive to become an immortal as soon as possible. It's not in vain that your father and I have worked hard to raise you for more than ten years."
Every time Miaoyuan came back, the old woman was worried that she would secretly come back to take care of her, causing dissatisfaction among the masters.
"Mom, don't worry. Master and the sisters are very good to the child, so you don't have to worry." Watching his adoptive mother finishing the meal, Miaoyuan comforted the old woman and stood up to clear the dishes. At this moment, he suddenly looked out the door alertly.
Their house is far away from other households in the village, and few people usually come here. But at this moment, there were waves of footsteps coming from outside the door. Moreover, the sound of footsteps falling to the ground was extremely soft, and it didn't look like it was coming from villagers except for those who were in cultivation.
"Mom, please sit still and don't move. I'll go out first." In order not to worry his adoptive mother, Miao Yuan stood up and walked out of the room to see what was going on outside.
But before she could reach the door, the two wooden doors were kicked open. Two men wearing coarse linen clothes and black scarves covering their faces jumped out.
"You..." Miao Yuan had just shouted two words when a man in front of him shot out a sharp sword from his palm and pointed it directly at the old woman's face.
This sudden change made Miao Yuan no longer care about who the visitor was. After waving his hands very quickly, the water aura in the room gathered together and spread a layer of water mist in front of the two of them, blocking them. A little cold light shot over.
While their sight was obscured by the mist, Miao Yuan held his adoptive mother with his left hand. After waving his right hand in the air, the wind from his palm shattered the window beside the bed, and he jumped out with his adoptive mother in his arms.
