"Secret passage? Could it be that..." Zhou Wenyi suddenly realized that the secret passage Mu Jingyu mentioned should be the secret passage that he left Jiuhua Mountain seven years ago.
Mu Jingyu said: "Master Zhou's guess was right. I never thought that this secret passage not only saved my life seven years ago, but also saved these main disciples today."
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and leave Jiuhua Mountain from here." Zhou Yan was also curious about what this secret passage hidden in the mountain that no one knew about looked like.
"Okay!" Mu Jingyu agreed, and immediately led everyone along the Huai River to find the original cave entrance.
It's just that the cave is extremely secretive, half hidden in the river. Coupled with the fact that the smoke is currently covering our eyes, it is even more difficult to find. Fortunately, the fire beast was not blocked by the smoke at all, and took the lead in leading everyone to groping forward in the Huaijiang River.
Taking this opportunity, Mu Jingyu followed the fire beast and asked curiously: "Um... fire beast, is it okay if I call you this?"
"My benefactor, you can call me whatever you want," the fire beast said nonchalantly.
While wading across the river, Mu Jingyu said: "This time, thank you for coming to help. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for us to escape from Jiuhua Mountain."
The fire beast laughed innocently and said: "What did my benefactor say! At first, the little beast escaped from Guo Qingshan's life only because of your insistence. I came back to help today just to repay the kindness of saving my life. You Don’t take it to heart.”
The two looked at each other and smiled, seeing sincerity in each other's eyes. Mu Jingyu continued: "Oh, by the way, I remember that at that time, you were still in the body of a beast. I didn't expect that after ten years, your cultivation has improved to such an extent. It seems that you have practiced very hard these years. .”
"Hey, my benefactor Miao praised it." Firelight Beast said with a bitter smile: "The little beast's qualifications are stupid. If he wants to break through the physical body and reach the peak of Guiyuan in just ten years, it is really wishful thinking."
"It seems that Fire Beast, you must have encountered some adventures over the years." Qin Yunchuan joked. Just remembering that ten years ago, he insisted on going to his death, I felt a little ashamed.
The fire beast didn't care at all, seeing Qin Yunchuan's embarrassment, he smiled and said: "Qin Shaoxia, you don't have to blame yourself. The beast's nature was still there, and there was still a trace of cruelty. If I hadn't chased him so hard, You wouldn’t ask Guo Qingshan to kill me, right?”
Mu Jingyu patted Qin Yunchuan on the shoulder, and then said to the fire beast: "Then can you tell me what adventures you encountered after leaving Jiuhua Mountain?"
"Yes." The fire beast nodded and said: "Thanks to your great kindness, the little beast wanted to find a secluded mountain forest to practice practice after leaving Jiuhua Mountain. However, it could not break through the last bottleneck and found it difficult to transform into a human body. At that time, it was The animal nature went to his head, and he wanted to devour some living creatures to enhance his own cultivation. Fortunately, he was stopped by his mentor in time, so he didn't make a big mistake!"
"Mentor?" Mu Jingyu chuckled and said, "It seems that the mentor you mentioned must be someone with advanced cultivation."
"That's natural." Speaking of his mentor, Huoguang Beast was obviously proud: "My mentor, he is not only profound in cultivation, but also a rare wise man in the world. If it weren't for his steadfast teachings, he would not only teach me many cultivation techniques , and also talked about many principles of being a beast. There is no guarantee that I will not be reborn as a beast today and cause chaos in the world."
Master Tai Er became curious: "Oh? Then I would like to know who the mentor you are talking about is. Maybe some of us are acquainted with him!"
As one of the four Heavenly Masters among the loose cultivators in Kyushu, he also has a sect such as Tianji Tower that specializes in collecting intelligence. He thinks that all the powerful people in Kyushu know everything. I have never heard of anyone having a flaming beast at his door.
"He...he..." The fire beast kept saying "he" several times, as if he was worried about it. He did not say his name, but fudged a few words: "He is also the same as me, he is a human being." Damn it, how could the immortal master know this old man?"
"A spirit?" Zhu Yan asked: "Basically all the spirits in the world belong to the Yaoning Palace. I wonder if your mentor is also in the Yaoning Palace?"
The fire beast shook his head and said: "Although Master, he is a spirit, he only wants to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. He does not want to walk around Kyushu, and he does not want others to know his existence. So... don't ask any more questions. .”
Since the fire beast didn't want to say more, people naturally didn't ask any more questions. Only Mu Jingyu fell into memories, remembering the young man who had taught him since childhood when he was in Mujia Village.
"Grandpa Niu, Jingyu hasn't seen you for more than ten years. I wonder where you are now?" Thinking of Qingniu Jing, Mu Jingyu felt sad.
Ever since Mo Yunshen died in the hands of the Mountain Elephant King in order to protect Mu Jingyu in order to protect Mu Jingyu in Wuji Xuwai, he was brought back to the Jiuhua Sect by Guo Qingshan.
Although within the next three years, he also thought about looking for an opportunity to return to Cangyun Mountain and look for the cave of Qingniu Jing, but he never found the opportunity. He wanted to ask other disciples to go to Cangyun Mountain, but he was worried that they would know about his relationship with Qingniu Jing, so he had to give up.
After he came out of the valley a year ago, he had been framed by Han Yao and was constantly in crisis. After a while, I actually forgot about it. Today, when I heard Fire Beast talking about his master, I couldn't help but think of Grandpa Niu's voice and smile.
But Mu Jingyu's low moan was not heard by others. Instead, the fire beast following him vaguely heard the words Grandpa Niu, and a look of relief appeared on his face.
While talking, the fire beast led everyone and walked dozens of miles along the Huaijiang River. The sounds of Han Wenyuan and many other pursuing soldiers also gradually disappeared.
"I see, the entrance to the cave is right in front!" Qin Yunchuan looked at the familiar sights around him and stepped a little faster. After wading through the river and walking a few dozen feet, he lifted up the vegetation in front of him, revealing a Come to a cave that is as tall as half a person.
He and Mu Jingyu had just left Jiuhua Mountain more than half a month ago. They were quite familiar with the environment here and could naturally recognize them at a glance.
After hundreds of people poured into the cave, it suddenly seemed crowded. Looking at the fires and other items still remaining in the cave, it is not difficult to imagine that Mu Jingyu had a difficult life for a period of time after he was washed here by the river.
But even so, he never thought about returning to the Jiuhua Sect. It can also be seen from this that Mu Jingyu was extremely resentful of the Jiuhua Sect at that time.
Zhou Wenyi patted Mu Jingyu's shoulder lovingly, all his words were unnecessary. Thinking that Mu Jingyu had suffered a great injustice and yet he did not hold a grudge, but instead led everyone to escape from Jiuhua Mountain despite the danger today, I felt indescribable the guilt in my heart.
"Here." Mu Jingyu smiled innocently, indicating that Zhou Wenyi didn't need to blame himself. Then he greeted everyone, and then went to the depths of the cave again, opened the stone door, and led everyone through the secret passage into the valley hidden deep in Jiuhua Mountain.
Not only did the disciples of the various sects not expect that there was such a valley hidden deep in Jiuhua Mountain, even the disciples of the Jiuhua sect looked around curiously.
While everyone found a place to rest, Zhou Wenyi stayed at the entrance, stretched out his hand to touch a stone tablet standing in front of him, and silently recited the sword marks carved on it word by word.
As his voice grew louder, more Jiuhua Sect disciples gathered around. Following Zhou Wenyi, he read out all the remaining sword marks on the inscription.
The neat and loud voice spread throughout the valley. After everyone heard it, they all stood up silently and looked at the place where many disciples of Jiuhua Mountain were standing, including Bi Yun, the two Dharma Kings and several other demons from the Underworld Hall.
By the time everyone finished reading the last sentence on the stone tablet, their eyes were filled with tears and their voices were choked with sobs. Although at the end of the stone tablet, there is no name of the person engraved on it. But everyone present knew that the sword marks on this stone tablet were none other than He Xiaozi who saved the Jiuhua Sect from danger eight hundred years ago!
"Master He Xiaozi, the younger disciples are so ashamed of you!" Zhou Wenyi lifted up his robe, fell to his knees with a thud, knocked his forehead to the ground, and refused to get up for a long time.
A dozen Jiuhua Sect disciples were all like this, following Zhou Wenyi, kneeling in a row in a semicircle. Many people couldn't help the sadness in their hearts and cried bitterly.
Eight hundred years ago, He Xiaozi, with one man and one sword, drove away the foreign enemies occupying the remaining eight peaks of Jiuhua Mountain and saved the Jiuhua faction from danger. Unexpectedly, eight hundred years later, after having already become one of the top nine sects, the Jiuhua sect was still on the verge of being destroyed!
If it hadn't been for the help of Mu Jingyu, the abandoned son who was entrusted by Mo Yunshen to join the Jiuhua Sect before his death, I'm afraid the Jiuhua Sect would have ceased to exist.
Zhou Wenyi knocked his head on the ground and raised it up after a long time. He looked at the famous sect that originally had thousands of disciples, but now only dozens of people were left in front of him, and he felt sad.
"Brother Zhou, get up quickly. Don't be too sad. There are more than a thousand disciples of Jiuhua Sect waiting for us to rescue them." Lei Changqing leaned over and pulled Zhou Wenyi up and said.
Qin Yunchuan, Zhou Yan, Su Yingying, Shen Mengdie, and Shi Dahong walked over together and said at the same time: "Uncle Zhou, our Jiuhua Sect will not die just like this. With disciples like us here, we will definitely rescue the master and the master. Many fellow disciples and brothers have restored the glory of the sect!"
"Rescue fellow disciples and restore the glory of the sect!" The voices of a dozen Jiuhua sect disciples were not loud, but their words were sonorous and powerful. Not only did his confidence greatly increase, but also the remaining disciples of various sects were swept away from their decadence.
Zhou Wenyi looked at Qin Yunchuan and the others, and smiled sadly in his heart. Now, most of the elders in the sect have died at the hands of the mysterious man, leaving only the dozen or so disciples in front of him, and himself, the top disciple of Feilu Peak. The remaining sect masters, several chiefs, and more than a thousand disciples were all captured by Han Wenyuan. How easy is it to rescue them and restore the glory of Jiuhua Sect?
However, Zhou Wenyi still stood up, laughed, patted Qin Yunchuan and others, and said, "Yunchuan is right. We, the Jiuhua Sect, and you are talented and intelligent people. Why worry about not being able to stand tall in Jiuzhou again?" Woolen cloth!"
Eight hundred years ago, Jiuhua sent He Xiaozi. Today, the Jiuhua Sect also has Qin Yunchuan and Shen Mengdie, and these two are no less talented than his disciples. Given time, the Jiuhua Sect will definitely be able to regain its vitality!
But... Zhou Wenyi looked sideways at Mu Jingyu. He secretly thought in his heart that if Mu Jingyu still belonged to the Jiuhua sect and he tried his best to help, he would definitely be able to achieve what he wanted. After this year, no one can underestimate the strength Mu Jingyu has shown.
Mu Jingyu just turned his head, met Zhou Wenyi's eyes, and immediately read the meaning in his eyes. He quickly turned his head, clapped his hands and said, "Everyone has almost rested. I think it's getting late, so we'd better leave the valley quickly. Let's leave the vicinity of Jiuhua Mountain while it's dark."
He naturally understood what Zhou Wenyi was thinking, but he pretended not to know anything. After jumping off the Yuxiao stage, the Zao family made up their minds to break away from the Jiuhua sect. After returning to the Jiuhua Sect, he refused to return to the Jiuhua Sect in front of Master Tianyang. Today, how could anyone change his mind just because of Zhou Wenyi's look?
Besides, he has too many responsibilities now, and he really doesn't want to take on another heavy responsibility.
