A born sage?
Ye Qiu was a little surprised and asked, “Old thing, how did you know that Shui Sheng is a born sage?”
The Long-browed True Man said, “I calculated it.”
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes.
It’s fortune-telling again!
When have you ever calculated accurately?
Can’t you find something serious to do?
Old swindler!
Ye Qiu cursed in his heart and said, “Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, I’ll keep him safe.”
”With your words, I’m relieved.”
In the blink of an eye, it was dawn.
After the three of them had a little breakfast at a roadside shop, they set off and headed straight for the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
The Long-browed True Man didn’t know where he got a map from, and then found a van.
The driver of the van was a middle-aged local man with dark skin and a mouthful of yellow teeth when he smiled.
”You guys aren’t locals, are you?”
The driver was very talkative and chatted with Ye Qiu and the others while driving.
”We’re from Longhu Mountain.” Ye Qiu said.
”Longhu Mountain, I know. There are all Taoists there. It is said that the Taoists on Longhu Mountain can exorcise ghosts and demons. Is it true?”
”Of course it’s true.”
”Where are you going?”
”The Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.”
”That’s the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.” The driver pointed with his hand.
Ye Qiu looked up in the direction the driver pointed and saw that in the distance, the peaks and ridges were overlapping, one after another standing in the clouds, stretching continuously.
”What are you going to do in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains?” The driver was very curious and asked again.
“We are going to gather herbs.” The Long-browed True Man said, “I am seriously ill and need a kind of herb to save my life. I heard that this kind of herb grows in the Ten-Thousand-Mountain Range. By the way, brother, do you know how to get to the Great Dragon Mountain?”
Creak!
The driver suddenly stepped on the brakes and turned his head to look at the Long-browed True Man. “Daozhang, you are going to the Great Dragon Mountain?”
“Yes.” The Long-browed True Man nodded.
“Daozhang, I advise you not to go to the Great Dragon Mountain. That is an ominous place.”
The Long-browed True Man exchanged a look with Ye Qiu and asked with a smile, “Why is the Great Dragon Mountain an ominous place? I would like to hear the details.”
“This…”
The driver suddenly hesitated.
Ye Qiu took out his wallet, took out a few banknotes, and stuffed them into the driver’s hand, saying, “Brother, my elder here is in urgent need of the herb to save his life. Please tell us about the Great Dragon Mountain.”
The driver put away the money.
“I am a native. When I was a child, I heard the old people in the village say that there are many treasures buried in the Ten-Thousand-Mountain Range. Around the Republic of China, there was a famine and many villagers died. In desperation, several nearby villages organized an exploration team to go into the mountains to dig for treasures.”
“This exploration team was composed of young and strong people, more than twenty people, all of them were strong and powerful, and several of them had kung fu.”
“Guess what happened in the end?”
The driver deliberately played tricks.
“Did something happen to all of them?” Ye Qiu asked.
The driver nodded and said in a deep voice, “There are tens of thousands of peaks in the Shiwan Dashan. It is said that the Dalong Mountain is in the abdomen of the Shiwan Dashan. Just as the expedition team entered the mountain and hadn’t found the Dalong Mountain yet, something happened.”
“Of the more than twenty people, only one person came out alive.”
“The person who came out alive became crazy and talked nonsense every day. He said that there were man-eating monsters and strange beasts in the mountain, and all the other members of the expedition team died.”
“Several villages organized another group of people to enter the mountain. This group of people was not to look for the treasure, but to find the corpses of those expedition team members.”
“This time, a dozen people went in, and not a single one came out.”
“After that, the villagers never dared to enter the mountain again.”
The driver continued, “Until the period of the Anti-Japanese War, a group of little devils heard from somewhere that there was treasure in the mountain, and then came to the village with a regiment of troops.”
“They learned from the villagers that there was danger in the mountain, but the little devils didn’t take it seriously at all.”
“Because they were well-equipped and brought all kinds of weapons, as well as tanks and cannons.”
“Hundreds of them entered the mountain in a mighty manner. In the end, only two people came out alive.”
“Of the two people who were alive, one of them suddenly caught fire on his body and was burned to ashes after running out of the mountain. This scene was seen by many villagers at that time.”
“The other one had poisonous sores the size of copper coins all over his body. He would bite anyone he saw and suck their blood. Later, he was beaten to death by the villagers.”
“Before this little Japanese devil died, he repeated a sentence over and over again. Everyone couldn’t understand it. It was not until a few years later when the people from the relevant department came to our village to do the population registration and talked about the past that the village chief told the people from the relevant department what the little Japanese devil had said at that time. One of them knew a foreign language. She said that the sentence the little Japanese devil said, when translated, actually meant that Dalong Mountain is an ominous place and there are devils in it.”
“As for whether there are devils in it or not, that’s not known. Anyway, so many people died. It must be an ominous place.”
“From then on, no one went into the Shiwan Dashan.”
The driver tried to persuade again: “Daozhang, you’d better not go in. It’s really dangerous in there.”
“There’s no way even if there is danger. I’m seriously ill. If I can’t find the herbal medicine, it’s a dead end.” The Long-browed True Man smiled and said: “Besides, I come from Longhu Mountain and I’m not afraid of ghosts and monsters.”
“Alas!”
Seeing that the Long-browed True Man didn’t listen to the persuasion, the driver let out a long sigh and continued driving.
One and a half hours later.
The driver stopped the car.
“Daozhang, along the mountain road in front, you can enter the Shiwan Dashan. It’s just that no one has walked there for many years. You should pay attention to safety when walking.” The driver kindly reminded.
“Thank you.”
The Long-browed True Man thanked him, gave the driver a few red banknotes, and then the three people walked along the mountain road.
Master-uncle, is what that driver said true?” Shui Sheng asked.”
The Long-browed True Man said, “Whether it’s true or not doesn’t matter. The important thing is that we must find the Heavenly Master Sword on this trip.”
”Old thing, does that map of yours mark the location of the Great Dragon Mountain?” Ye Qiu asked.
He thought that if it was marked, then they could just follow the map, which could save a lot of time.
The Long-browed True Man shook his head. “The map in my hand is not detailed. There are only the routes on the edge of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. The location of the Great Dragon Mountain is not marked.”
Ye Qiu furrowed his brows. “Then the Great Dragon Mountain will probably be difficult to find.”
”It doesn’t matter. I will find it. Trust me.”
Compared to the confident Long-browed True Man, Ye Qiu was not optimistic. He was worried that before they found the Great Dragon Mountain, the Long-browed True Man would die.
The mountain road was overgrown with weeds, and it became narrower and narrower. Finally, it was only half a meter wide.
The Long-browed True Man was so tired that he was out of breath and had been supported by Shui Sheng all the time.
They walked for a full two hours.
The three of them finally stopped. At this time, a very spectacular scene appeared in front of them.
