Chapter 47: Imperial Divine Gate
After returning to Yangzhou, Lu Xiaofeng went to hand in the task alone. As expected, I was not disappointed. The reward I received was several times the reward of the previous task. This should make me happy, but I always couldn't help but think of the red-clothed female ghost in my mind, and I couldn't be happy at all.
After Lu Xiaofeng handed in the task, she disappeared and told me to go out and have fun by myself and wait for the next task to notify me. Of course, I was too lazy to follow her, and after this task, I just wanted to sort out my thoughts, so I just stayed in Yangzhou.
A few days later, Lu Xiaofeng called and simply said, "Come to Chengdu and contact me when you get there."
I was used to this girl's personality , and I wasn't upset by her attitude. I simply packed my things, set off immediately, and took the train to Chengdu. After arriving at the station, I immediately contacted Lu Xiaofeng.
"Stay at the station, I'll come pick you up."
I was stunned. Has this girl changed her personality? She actually came to pick me up. Of course I wouldn't refuse, but I waited for more than three hours before she came.
"Girl, can you be more reliable?"
She glared at me and said, "Stop talking nonsense and get in the car."
The girl took a taxi. I shut up, got in the car, and sat in the back seat with her. She said to the driver in front, "Master, let's go to Yulei Mountain in Dujiangyan."
"Yulei Mountain? That's so far!"
The driver turned around and asked in surprise, "I'm not familiar with this place at all, but judging from the driver's expression, we should be quite far from that Yulei Mountain."
"According to normal circumstances, how much does it cost to get from here to Yulei Mountain?"
Lu Xiaofeng asked. The driver was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment, and then replied: "It will cost more than 100 yuan."
Lu Xiaofeng nodded, then took out a few Mao Zedong notes from his pocket and handed them over, saying, "Here's 500 yuan for the fare, take us there."
Damn, this spendthrift girl, you gave 500 yuan for a fare of more than 100 yuan. You must have developed the bad habit of spending money lavishly since childhood. The driver was obviously stunned again, but after reacting, he took the money, said nothing more, started the car and set off.
It was almost noon when we arrived at our destination. Yulei Mountain is indeed a mountain range, and it seems to have a scenic area. It was early spring, the weather was very good, and many people came here to play.
"Senior Sister, are we here for a trip?"
The driver turned the car around and drove back in the direction we came from. Lu Xiaofeng turned around and glanced at me, saying, "You wish. Didn't I tell you a few days ago that I would take you back to Yushenmen?"
I then remembered what she said in the tomb that day. I thought she was just talking casually, but I didn't expect it to be true. Looking at the mountains in front of me, I couldn't help but think of those Taoist temples and sects built on the mountains in the costume TV shows, and I became excited.
"By the way, don't call me Senior Sister anymore. In terms of seniority, you are my uncle, so just call me by my name. Otherwise, it will be bad if Master finds out. Also, don't act frivolous when you come to the sect."
Smiling and joking? Damn, isn’t the stinky old master smiling and joking every day?
We followed the crowd up the mountain, but just when we reached the halfway point, Lu Xiaofeng led me to turn into a small mountain path that branched off to the side. As we walked along the mountain path, the road became more and more remote, and the trees on both sides became more and more numerous and dense. The mountain path was made of bluestone bricks, and there were many fallen leaves on it, which looked like no one had walked on it for a long time.
I looked back and saw that the main road on the mountain was far away from us, and I could no longer hear the voices of the tourists. I raised my head and looked in the direction we were going. The small mountain road stretched forward, winding and silent.
Damn, this place looks like a desolate mountain. Why would a sect be established in such a place? I couldn't help but ask, "Lu Xiaofeng, how far is it? Why does it look so desolate?"
"Desolate? There aren't many people in Yushenmen to begin with. Sometimes no one walks on this mountain path for half a year. Of course it's desolate."
Not many people?
The martial arts schools I had seen on TV came to my mind: rows of people practicing martial arts on the top of the mountain, in the attic courtyard, and in the martial arts arena. The scene suddenly changed, and a desolate mountain with a few dilapidated houses on the top appeared in my mind.
I shook my head and asked carefully, "How many people are there if there are not many people?"
She glanced at me and said, "Grand Master, Great Uncle, Master, Junior Uncle, no, now you are Junior Uncle, including me, there are six of us in total."
"Grand Master is the headmaster of Yushen Sect, and Grand Uncle Master is the headmaster's junior brother. My master is the headmaster's apprentice, and Uncle Song and you are Grand Uncle Master's apprentices. There are six of us in total."
Six people! Six people!
Shit, I thought it was a big and powerful sect, but after all this time, there are only six people, not even enough to form a football team.
"Hey, what do you mean by that disgusted look on your face?"
Lu Xiaofeng said in a low voice in displeasure. I quickly put on a smile and said, "How could that be? As the saying goes, short and concise, the essence is concentrated."
"What's all this mess?"
I smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, what I mean is that although we are all elites, the elites among the elites, hehe."
"Grand Master, Grand Uncle Master, Master, Uncle Master Song, they are definitely the elites among the elites. I should also be considered an elite, as for you."
As she spoke, she glanced at me, curled her lips and shook her head, a look of contempt on her face.
Damn it, even if I'm not an elite, there's no need to look at me like I'm trash. I snorted in my heart and turned my head away, not wanting to talk to her anymore.
"In fact, you have a Yin-Yang constitution, and you have activated the Moon Wheel. Sooner or later, you will activate the Sun Wheel. Even if you are not very good, with these three points, as long as you learn to cultivate your spiritual power, you will definitely be very powerful."
The girl added another sentence.
After hearing this, I felt much better. I was saying that although my brother didn't have much education, he was still a good-looking man with good looks and intelligence. How could he be a piece of trash?
It took us half a day to reach the top of the mountain, which was enough time to go back and forth from the foot of the mountain to Chengdu Railway Station. It would take half a day to go up and down the mountain!
The top of the mountain is much larger than I imagined, and I can see a group of buildings from afar. The style is very classical, with attics and even high towers. At a glance, there are probably dozens of houses.
A very tall and wide gatehouse stood in front of the building. Three large characters were engraved on the top of the door in the middle of the gatehouse:
The Imperial Divine Gate!
