He Yuzhu returns in Siheyuan

Chapter 652 Going to the Mountains

Qingyi saw that He Yuzhu was a little anxious, and patiently explained: "This kind of competition is usually held in the mountains to avoid worldly interference and ensure the purity of the competition. Moreover, you will see all kinds of strange people from all over the world. This is also the uniqueness of the Jianghu. Just hold on, and you will arrive soon."

Although He Yuzhu was exhausted and his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, when he thought about getting the precious treasure for his wife, he gritted his teeth, forced himself to be strong, and followed closely behind the team.

Time flies, and three more days have passed. During this period, He Yuzhu and his group of six have experienced many twists and turns, and changed various means of transportation. They first took a car, galloping on the flat road, feeling the wind whistling past their ears; then they changed to a horse-drawn carriage, accompanied by the "clacking" sound of horse hooves, slowly moving forward on the country road; then they rode horses, carefully shuttling on the rugged mountain road; and even experienced the so-called "No. 11 bus" - walking on their own legs. As the journey progressed, they met fewer and fewer people, and the surrounding environment became more and more remote and quiet.

He Yuzhu raised his head and looked at the seemingly endless road ahead. He couldn't help but ask Elder Qingyi: "Elder Qingyi, how long will it take us to reach our destination?" His voice revealed a hint of fatigue and anxiety.

Qingyi narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the winding mountain road ahead, then turned his head, looked at He Yuzhu gently, and said: "Master, this journey is actually a test of your patience. In my opinion, it will take at least four or five days."

He Yuzhu sighed helplessly, looked at the rolling hills in front of him again, and muttered to himself: "It will take another four or five days to travel... Well, in this case, this time I must let them see how powerful our Demon Suppression Palace is. But I can't be idle while I'm on the road. Elder Qingyi, can you teach me some powerful kung fu? If I meet an opponent and I'm no match for him, it would be too embarrassing and would not be conducive to our completion of this mission."

After listening to this, Qingyi nodded, took out a book from his bosom, handed it to He Yuzhu, and said: "Master, you can read this book carefully on the way. The book records some exquisite kung fu moves and mental methods. If there is anything you don't understand, you can just ask me directly."

He Yuzhu took the book gratefully, nodded, and said, "Thank you, Elder." However, he didn't know that this seemingly ordinary journey was actually full of dangers and was not peaceful.

After walking for another day, although Lao Si was still full of energy and did not feel too tired, he knew that He Yuzhu was really exhausted. After all, they had been walking for so many days in a row, even the strongest man could not stand it. Lao Si looked at He Yuzhu's tired expression and felt a little distressed, so he said, "Master, look, there is a restaurant not far ahead. We have been traveling for such a long time, why don't we go there to rest for a while, so that you can recover your strength."

He Yuzhu usually likes to watch all kinds of TV series, and those twists and turns of the plot have left a deep impression in his mind. At this moment, looking at the restaurant that suddenly appeared in the wilderness, he was immediately alarmed and said quickly: "Forget it, a restaurant suddenly appeared in this wilderness, and who knows what kind of shady business it is doing." He frowned slightly, and his eyes revealed vigilance.

Qingyi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this sect leader who usually lived a life of luxury and was traveling far away for the first time could be so keenly aware of something unusual. He nodded and praised: "Yes, this place is indeed strange. Maybe something unusual really happened. It's better to be careful than to have more trouble."

The fourth brother grinned, looking eager to try, and said, "Since it is very likely not a legitimate business, I will go and find out what it is. When I find out the situation, I will come back and tell you."

He Yuzhu was about to stop them and remind Lao Si to be careful, but before he could finish his words, Lao Si's figure flashed and disappeared from everyone's sight like a black shadow.

He Yuzhu turned to look at Qingyi and asked anxiously, "Elder, I wonder if you can find out where the fourth brother is at this moment with your ability? I am still a little worried about him in this remote place."

Qingyi smiled slightly, a hint of confidence flashed in his eyes, and said: "It is indeed difficult to track the whereabouts of the fourth brother. However, it is not completely impossible."

He Yuzhu wanted to ask about the specific method, but Qingyi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Master, these are things you will encounter in your future cultivation. As you practice more deeply, you will naturally understand them. If I tell you now, I'm afraid you will find it difficult to understand."

He Yuzhu felt helpless. He really didn't understand why these people always liked to play dumb and only say half the words. But since Qingyi said so, he couldn't continue to ask and could only wait silently.

He Yuzhu and Qingyi just waited quietly there. After all, everyone could see the strength of the fourth brother, and they still trusted him very much.

About ten minutes later, Lao Si came running from the direction of the hotel. He looked a little panicked, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

The fourth brother ran to He Yuzhu and said hurriedly, "Master, this is indeed a shady shop. The people inside have bad intentions. Do you think we should leave here quickly?"

He Yuzhu keenly noticed that Lao Si's face was not right, and asked with concern: "What's wrong, Lao Si? Did you see something scary in there? Don't panic, talk slowly."

The fourth brother took a deep breath, his eyes full of anger and shock, and said, "Master, it's like a slaughterhouse in there! Those people are so crazy and they are capable of doing anything that is against the will of heaven and earth."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu frowned, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. After a brief thought, he said firmly: "Well, since we have come across this kind of thing, we can't just sit back and watch. Elder Fourth, Elder Qingyi, what do you think? How about we take care of this matter?"

Qingyi frowned slightly, with a trace of caution in his eyes, and looked at He Yuzhu and said slowly: "Logically speaking, we shouldn't care about these trivial matters. After all, we practitioners should focus on our own practice and enlightenment, and avoid getting involved in worldly disputes."
