C31 (1/2)

The sun rose up from the misty hillside. Half of a light red fireball lit up the dark sky, shooting out beams of dazzling light. The light fell on a small thatched cottage in the middle of Mount Song.

Chen Yumei knocked on the door outside Liu's room and said, ”Lin, wake up, there's a master looking for you.”

Liu Zhilin rubbed his sleepy eyes and lazily got up from the bed. ”Mother, it's not even dawn yet. What are you going to do?” He walked over and opened the door.

Chen Yumei said to a monk in his thirties, ”Master, this brat is just too lazy, please don't take offense to him.” She turned around and slapped Liu's butt, ”The sun is already shining on your butt, why aren't you getting up. Look, your clothes aren't even properly worn.” As he spoke, he helped Liu to tidy up his clothes.

When Liu Zhilin saw the monk, he immediately became spirited and said, ”It's Senior Jing You. Come quickly, come in.” He then brought a stool for Jing You. He said, ”Jing You, sit down first.”

Chen Yumei smiled and said, ”Senior Jing You, please sit here for a moment, I'll go prepare some food for you.”

Jing Xi placed one palm on his chest and nodded at Chen Yumei, ”Auntie, please don't be polite. I'm here to find Junior Brother Liu. I'm here to pass on Uncle Kong Hui's message, so I'll have to go back to the mountain if I say anything.”

Chen Yumei said, ”Okay, then tell me, I'll go out and busy myself for a while.” As he spoke, he walked out.

Liu Dong looked at Jing You and laughed, ”Senior Jing You, what does master want with me, why are you in such a hurry, and why are you so early to send a message, did something big happen?”

Jing Rong said, ”Did the few elders make a decision yesterday at the temple. They said that the Treasure Troop had already been gone for more than half a month, but not a single person had returned. I'm afraid that there's something fishy going on here, so Martial Uncle Kong Hui recommended to the Sect Leader that you go to the Great Ba Mountain.” Master Kong Hui, when I go down the mountain, you need to be very careful. ”

Liu Zhilin thought for a while and said, ”So it's this matter, then why is it so difficult? Master really likes to quarrel, but that's true. Brother Qing Yun has been gone for so long and there hasn't been any news about him. There might really be something strange about him.”

Jing Rong said, ”Junior brother, be careful on your way. I'll take my leave first.” He turned around and walked out.

Chen Yumei walked in and said with concern, ”Lin'er, you have to be very careful on this trip.”

Liu Zhilin looked up at Chen Yumei and said, ”Mother, you already know. Rest assured, both you and Master are like that. We're just going there to take a look and see what will happen, and not snatch away their treasure. ”

Chen Yumei grabbed her son's hand, her face was filled with reluctance, ”Mother, I'm really very worried. Since you've never left me for so long, how can I not be worried? But since you've always been by my side, not adding on your experience, how can you possibly mature? This chance of the Divine Monk Kong is yours, you must cherish it well.”

Liu Zhilin said, ”Mom. Don't worry, nothing will happen to you. ”

Chen Yumei said, ”Lin'er, you must remember this when you're outside. ”Don't be petty and don't do it for the sake of being mean.”

Liu Zhilin said, ”Remember, Mother.”

Chen Yumei said, ”Okay, you can leave after breakfast.” Mother will go and prepare some food for you to eat. ”

Liu Zhilin said, ”Mother, take a break, I'll do it myself,” and ran into the kitchen. Chen Yumei followed him in. Both mother and son made their moves together, and a few dishes were soon ready. He placed it on the table in the living room.

Liu put a bowl of rice in Chen Yumei's bowl and said, ”Mom, when Lin is not here, you have to take care of yourself.” ”Come, mother, eat more.” He picked some dishes from Chen Yumei's bowl.

He had brought him up through so many years of hard work, and now that he was about to leave for a while, his heart was actually filled with so much reluctance. He tried his best to hold back the tears in his heart as he said, ”Lin'er, your girl's bowl is full.” It was not a taste to eat.

Liu Zhilin watched Chen Yumei finish her meal and said, ”Mother, Lin'er is also very reluctant to part with you.”

Chen Yumei turned her head and couldn't bear to see the sad expression on her child's face. She was afraid that she would burst into tears. ”Lin'er, hurry up and leave. Be careful outside.”

Liu Zhilin hugged his mother and said, ”Mother, please take care. Lin'er will be leaving.” He looked at his mother's delicate figure as she slowly walked out of the thatched cottage.

Chen Yumei dared not turn her head. As soon as he was gone, he could no longer stop the tears from rolling down his cheeks. He chased after his son to the door, looking at his son's lonely figure as he walked away slowly. Liu Zhilin turned around and waved his hand before disappearing from his sight.

The sunlight passed through the layers of leaves, forming a round bubble on the ground, gently floating on the ground. As Liu Zhonglin walked along the forest path, he thought to himself, ”This Mount Wudang is indeed beautiful, and Mount Song is another kind of beauty.” He walked to a stream and washed his face. It was too hot. He felt extremely comfortable. When he looked up, he saw that it was dangerous and deep. Clouds were floating in the air. What a wonderful sight.

A horse came riding along the road in the forest. It was a young man with a jade-like face. The horse was extremely fast and instantly disappeared in front of his eyes.

Liu Zhilin tidied himself up and continued on his way. A gust of mountain wind blew in slowly, blowing uncomfortably. Suddenly, a sword came piercing straight at him. It was the teenager who had just ridden past. Liu Zhilin was shocked. He raised his sword to block and said, ”What do you want to do?”

The teenager said, ”Thief, give me your life,” before he changed his sword stance. He changed the stab into a slice and cut it horizontally towards Liu's neck.

Liu Ting Lin's body moved to the side, the sword in his hand swung out, retreating a few steps, and said, ”Young Master, I think you've misunderstood. ”I have never met you before.”

The young man's expression also froze as he took a few steps back and said, ”You call me young master?”

Liu Xin Lin didn't understand what was going on, he carefully sized him up and saw that he was wearing white clothes and black hair. His skin was flowing with luster, and there was a hint of charm in his eyes as he said, ”What do I call you, Young Master?”

The youth sheathed his sword and smiled. ”My apologies, young master. I just mistook you for someone else.”

Liu Zhilin saw him smile, his laughter was extremely pleasant, and his face and cheeks were slightly red and soft. He thought to himself, why is there such a beautiful young man? He said, ”It's fine.” He carried her on his back and continued on his way. When they arrived at Bamboo Mountain County, it was already close to dusk. He was secretly delighted, ”Tonight, I can have a beautiful sleep again. ”It would be great if we didn't have to spend the night in the mountains.” He found an inn and stayed there. After dinner, he returned to his room and laid down comfortably on his bed. ”It's much better than last night's stone. It was so hard that I couldn't sleep after three o'clock,” he said, jumping out of bed and opening the window. Leaning against the window, he thought to himself, ”What's wrong with Brother Qing Yun? Why haven't we heard anything from him yet?” It was impossible for so many people to be silent. I have to get to the Great Ba Mountain as soon as possible and find a few people to ask about it. ”

He opened the door and saw a young man he met in the forest rushing over from here. Seeing that Liu's door was open, he flashed into his room, turned around and said, ”Brother, you …”

The youth put his finger in the middle of his mouth, made a gesture, and closed the door behind him. Looking around, he seemed to be looking for a hiding place.

Liu Xin Lin said, ”This is an inn, there's no place to hide, you can jump out the window and escape.”

The youth's face revealed a happy expression as he smiled to Liu Zhenglin, then he walked to the window when his expression suddenly changed greatly and he withdrew.

Liu Xin Lin shook his head, ”You're afraid of getting too high, this is only the second floor, it's not that high.” Seeing his face turn so ugly, something unusual must have happened. He walked to the window and took a look, only to see a beautiful young man walk into the inn. Nothing else. He couldn't help but ask curiously, ”What's wrong with you?” The corners of his eyes kept looking down and he couldn't help but look down again. It was just that a few white-clothed women had entered the inn. Yet, he only saw the young man before him turn pale with fright.

A few door guards sounded outside, causing the youth to tremble in fear. Liu Zhilin really didn't understand, he turned around and the youth pulled him back, trying to tell him to not open the door.

Liu Zhilin could only nod and say, ”Who is it? I've already fallen asleep. Don't bother me.”

The person outside said, ”Qing Er, I know you're inside. Hurry up and come out. Come back with me.”

The boy shrieked in fright. Liu Zhilin immediately covered his mouth with his hand and glanced at the bed. The boy nodded and climbed into the bed. Liu Zhilin closed the curtain, walked over and opened the door, blocking the way as he said, ”Brother, may I ask who you are looking for?” When he looked up, he saw that this young man was even more handsome, about 23 or 24 years of age. His pitch-black eyes shone like stars, and his face was snow-white and cold. His white clothes made him look even more debaucherous.
