Chapter 0041 Return
In that cave, not only He Jintang who had sprained his foot was found, but also A Biao and Meng Dazhi who were both covered in wounds and half alive.
It turned out that after He Jintang escaped in the chaos, he followed my instructions and headed towards the cave we agreed on. However, the earthquake was so severe at the time that he had to save his life and find the way, so he soon lost his way.
However, this young man was lucky as he accidentally ran into A Biao and Meng Dazhi who had fallen into the valley and were unconscious.
After being rescued by him, he learned the whole story from A Biao.
At that time, Liu Feihe, He Jiuye and his party encountered the human pupae raised by Xie Cheng. As soon as they came up, three guards died.
The human pupa hid in the dark and appeared and disappeared mysteriously, making it really difficult to deal with.
Liu Feihe led everyone to retreat to the rock pit, where he prepared to set up a formation and try to get rid of the human pupa.
Just when the formation was halfway set up, a person came towards them.
This person was none other than Xie Cheng. He introduced himself and displayed the dragon-tiger talisman, saying that he was a disciple of the Tianshi Dao of Longhu Mountain. He and his senior brother came here to get rid of the human pupa that escaped from Erjing Village.
Liu Feihe was originally a cautious person, but on the one hand, he had met Xie Cheng and his fellow apprentices in the inn, and on the other hand, Xie Cheng was indeed wearing a dragon and tiger talisman.
The Longhu Mountain Tianshi Dao is the authentic Taoist sect, and their disciples are certainly trustworthy, so he gladly invited them to join.
But no one expected that when everyone was concentrating on dealing with the human pupa, Xie Cheng suddenly launched a sneak attack, and Liu Feihe was the first to suffer.
However, Xie Cheng did not expect that Liu Feihe's school had a secret technique to save lives.
Although Liu Feihe was injured, he did not die immediately.
At that moment, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle. Meng Dazhi was assigned by his master to escort He Jiuye to escape together with A Biao.
Of course, A Biao and Meng Dazhi had no idea what happened in the rock pit afterwards.
However, from what I saw at the scene, it should be that not long after the two men took He Jiuye away, Liu Feihe and his disciples were killed one by one.
Before his death, Liu Feihe quietly made a "Tian Gang Seal", probably to remind future generations that the murderer who harmed them was a Taoist.
According to Xie Cheng's perverted style, he should have cleaned up the scene, but Luo Ziang arrived at that time, so Xie Cheng could only escape.
After A Biao and the other two escaped, they were followed by the human pupae raised by Xie Cheng.
Afterwards, Master He Jiu was captured by the enemy, while A Biao and Meng Dazhi fell into a valley and luckily escaped.
After being rescued by He Jintang, Meng Dazhi and the other two learned from him the sad news that their master and others had all passed away, while He Jintang learned from A Biao that his father had been captured by the human pupa, so the three of them burst into tears.
I brought Baoer into the cave. The three of them were supporting each other, preparing to go out to look for me and Master He Jiu.
As soon as he saw me, He Jintang shouted "Old Chen" and rushed over to me excitedly.
I was covered in wounds at the moment, and was an old, weak, and sick person. He knocked me to the ground, and my head hit the ground. I almost fainted.
After catching my breath, I told them my story.
After hearing the news of Mr. He Jiu's death, A Biao fell to the ground and burst into tears, while He Jintang stood there in a daze, muttering something in his mouth. In the end, he couldn't help but hugged Baoer and burst into tears.
As for the ancient tomb under the ruined temple, I did not elaborate, because the implications are too huge, and there are many things I still cannot understand, so it is better not to spread it.
Therefore, it was only mentioned in general terms, saying that there was a very strange feng shui formation inside, which has now been destroyed.
He Jintang still had some food, so we rested in the cave for another night and came out of the mountain the next morning.
There were four of us in our group. Baoer was skinny and looked sick, and the remaining three men were covered in wounds. We were truly a sick and disabled group. We also had to be on guard against that kid Xie Cheng along the way, so it was extremely difficult for us to walk.
It was three days later that I saw the sign of Pei Ji Inn again.
The beautiful proprietress came out and was shocked to see how miserable we looked. She quickly called the waiter to help us, helped us into the store, and prepared hot soup and hot meals.
After we had our meal, the proprietress asked us if we had encountered any trouble in the mountains.
We had no choice but to say that we met a monster in the mountains and everyone else died.
The lady boss frowned and sighed, "I told you not to go into the mountains, but none of you listened to me!"
We felt a little ashamed by what she said and just ate in silence.
I remember that a few days ago, there was a large group of people gathered here, eating happily, but I didn’t expect that now there are only a few of us left.
After dinner, I asked the proprietress, but she said she hadn’t seen Xie Cheng, and that the people who had gone into the mountains before had not come back, so now we were the only ones living in the store.
I felt a little relieved, but I didn't dare stay here for long. I stayed in the inn for one night and left early the next morning.
Before leaving, the boss’s wife and I added each other on WeChat. If I’m not mistaken, her grandfather should also be a famous Feng Shui master.
Although she is an ordinary person, since she inherited her grandfather's shop, we are half in the same industry and can take care of each other in the future if something happens.
Three days later, we returned to Jiangcheng.
Meng Dazhi said goodbye to us with red eyes, saying that he was going back to Zhengzhou to report the death.
Although this person had been at odds with me since the first day we met, after this trip to southern Yunnan, where we had experienced life and death together, we became friends.
Our group returned to the He family's ancestral home.
Before we set off for southern Yunnan, A Biao had already asked someone to take care of the body of the young internet celebrity Qin Ran. Later, it was probably treated as an accidental death and did not cause much commotion.
The bodies of He Zongze and his wife had been kept in the morgue, originally waiting for Mr. He Jiu to come back and take care of their funeral affairs.
However, no one expected that Master He Jiu died in southern Yunnan, and even his body could not be brought back.
He Jintang is just an idle playboy on weekdays, what can he understand? Fortunately, he has A Biao to help him.
As for Baoer, he looked much better since he came out of the ancient tomb. He was able to eat and drink, and soon his face began to become rounder. I felt a little relieved. It seemed that after the Changsheng Bureau was broken, the evil consequences of the He family should also come to an end.
Baoer is a very clever little girl. She matures much more precociously than other children and is like a little adult.
I didn't deliberately hide the sad news of her parents' death from her, thinking that she would be able to calm down after crying for a while.
But I didn't expect that after listening to me, she didn't cry, but just sat there silently. After a long time, she asked me if she could go see her parents again.
I touched her head with heartache, knowing that this little girl was different, so I took her to the morgue.
When the staff saw me bringing in a five-year-old girl, they looked as if they had seen a ghost.
I am the same, but when I was a child I was often called a freak or something like that, so I can understand Baoer's weirdness.
Since Baoer's parents passed away, He Jintang, as her only relative, became her guardian.
