Chapter 4: Rebellion
In the Qianqing Cave, the lights were dim and there was silence.
On the high platform, Shen Wanqing was squinting slightly, leaning on the back of the chair, with a tired look on his face.
After a moment, as if sensing something, he suddenly opened his eyes and abruptly stood up from his seat.
"Take Yue'er away first!" Staring in the direction of the cave, Shen Wanqing spoke softly, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Yes!" Behind him, in the shadows, the old man in gray answered, and then walked out, but quickly disappeared again, very strangely.
After a while, a dense sound of footsteps suddenly sounded, and then, I saw six black-clothed people wearing black grimace masks walking in from the darkness, quickly setting up a formation, surrounding Shen Wanqing, murderous, and instantly filling the entire Qianqing Cave.
"Presumably you are the Lord of Shen Dagu!" After the man in black stood still, the short man wearing a silver grimace mask was the last to appear and was the first to speak.
"How did you get in?" Surrounded by the man in black, Shen Wanqing's expression remained unchanged, he snorted coldly, and said indifferently.
"Nature walked in. The short man smiled and spoke, reaching out for a piece of green jade pendant and playing with it casually in his hand.
"Tongling Jue!" Looking at the jade pendant in the short man's hand, Shen Wanqing suddenly took a step back, his face painful and shocked.
"It's Tonglingyu, and thanks to it, otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to enter your Qianqing Cave!" said the short man, who seemed to be a little emotional.
"You killed the people?" Shen Wanqing still had a painful look on his face, but there was a little more anger.
"People, who are they?, Lord Shen Gu is just afraid that he has misunderstood something!" Seeing that Shen Wanqing was furious, the short man suddenly laughed even louder, eerie and chilling.
"Misunderstanding? Hmph! You guys are so bold! Kill people first, and now you dare to come to the door, are you really so easy to bully someone when I am Shen!"
After that, Shen Wanqing suddenly jumped up from the high platform, slapped out his palm, and approached the short man's door, and shouted angrily: "Give back my son's life!"
......
Outside the Yaowang Valley, on a high cliff, figures flickered, and the fire was bright.
I don't know how long it took, a cyan rainbow light suddenly flew from the sky, fell to the cliff, and a graceful white figure appeared.
"Welcome to the envoy!" Seeing the arrival of the man in white, everyone present immediately knelt down and bowed, with neat movements, respectful tones, and very low postures.
"Is everything done?" Standing in front of the cliff, the man in white stared at the Medicine King Valley below, his tone was calm, although it was a crisp and moving female voice, there was an indescribable majesty.
"Back to the envoy, our hall master has just entered the valley in person, and he will definitely be able to get what you want before dawn!" As he spoke, behind the man in white, a man in black wearing a bronze grimace mask glanced at her secretly, his breath stagnated, and he swallowed his saliva secretly, with something strange in his eyes.
"It's too slow!" the man in white snorted softly, and turned around, his beautiful face faintly visible despite the mask on his head.
"Your Excellency, stop your anger!" Seeing the man in white turn around, the man in black was a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly.
"Where's your hall master, take me to him!" the man in white spoke again in a cold tone.
"This ...... The hall master ordered us to guard the valley and not to leave without permission. The man in black dodged his gaze, cold sweat broke out on his back, and his voice trembled even more.
Hearing this, the man in white snorted coldly, and a coercion suddenly emanated from his body, and his right hand was gently placed on the hilt of the sword, but he stopped talking, but the meaning of persecution was very clear.
"The villain obeys!" After a while, the man in black couldn't resist it, so he had to agree hard.
......
In the Qianqing Cave, the light and shadow flickered, the stones flew sideways, and the sound of shouting and scolding, the collision of gold and iron, and the sound of strong wind surging constantly sounded, which was very intense.
Shen Wanqing was outnumbered, although he did not have an advantage, he did not fall behind at all. I saw that he attacked and defended freely among the men in black, coming and going like the wind, and his strength was evident.
After a while, a "Peng" sound suddenly came, but it was Shen Wanqing and the short man in black who slapped each other violently again, seized the opportunity, and jumped out of the encirclement.
"Who are you?" confronting the man in black again, Shen Wanqing finally couldn't help but ask.
"The one who wants your life!" said the short man in black in a cold tone, but he didn't mean to act immediately, as if he was waiting for something.
"I, Shen, have never met you, there is no grudge, and there is no conflict of interests, why are you working so hard with each other?" Shen Wanqing looked angry and continued to speak.
"Pifu is not guilty, he is guilty, why should Lord Shen Gu know better than me! Good things should be reserved for better people, shouldn't they?" said this, the short man in black suddenly laughed, but strangely, he still didn't make a move.
"I see! I should have thought that you were here for that bead! How did you know that the bead was with me?" Shen Wanqing showed an expression of sudden realization, but the anger on his face was even stronger.
"How can there be an impermeable wall in this world, the big family, who doesn't have a few disciples in their family? If you want to blame it, blame you for thinking about it and taking something you can't keep!" The short man in black seemed to be in a good mood and answered Shen Wanqing's question.
"Sure enough, it's that animal, I shouldn't have been merciful in the first place, so that I left a trouble! But, even so, you must have underestimated me Shen someone too much!" As he spoke, Shen Wanqing's eyes flashed, and his body suddenly rose.
"Flame Formation!
Staring at the short man in black, Shen Wanqing suddenly let out a loud shout, and quickly pinched the trick in his hand, and a round character with a complex pattern condensed out of his chest, spreading with a desolate and ancient aura. Immediately afterward, a red light instantly spread in a circle around the soles of his feet, and then rose up, drowning everyone present.
"It's not good! We were deceived, Shen Wanqing didn't disperse at all! Spread it out for me!" Seeing Shen Wanqing activate the magic circle, the short man in black knew that he was scheming, and said in great annoyance.
"It's late!" Before the short black-clothed man's words fell, Shen Wanqing opened his mouth with a gloomy face, and threw a wooden gossip-shaped small plate in his hand into the air, and an even more dazzling fire suddenly came out of it, enveloping everyone.
......
At the entrance of the Medicine King Valley, Mu Yiyang was lying in a bush, holding his breath, his whole body tensed, and he dodged a wave of patrolling guards. There were still tears on his face, but he looked much better, though he still had a look of exhaustion and boredom in his eyes.
What exactly happened in the Medicine King Valley, he didn't know. But from the old man in gray's concealed words, he probably knew that he would be in danger, and most likely it would be a matter of life and death.
Along the way, he repeatedly imagined in his heart the dangers he might encounter after entering the valley and the way to resolve the crisis, but in the end, he found that with his mortal body and without the help of the old man in gray, once he was discovered, he would definitely die.
Still, he came, like a moth to a fire, foolishly, stubbornly, and fearlessly!
He didn't come to take revenge, because he didn't have any resentment in his heart at all. He didn't come to seek the truth, because he already had the answer in his heart.
He had come to meet someone, the most important person in his life so far! Shen Wanqing had healed his serious injuries, but she had healed his heart that was on the verge of breaking!
He was young, only twelve years old, and he had no idea of falling in love yet. However, one thing he knew very well was that there was a girl who had crept into his heart, and from then on, he was no longer his own!
He was willing to be a substitute for her, and he was willing to sacrifice himself to fulfill her, even though his heart ached at times. But one thing for another, some people are happy and some people should be sad, this is the simplest truth in the world. He understood, so he did. But after doing it, he realized that understanding and doing it were not the same thing, and he still couldn't help himself after all.
He had been walking for a long time, and he had thought about it for a long time, and suddenly he felt that he should not have come at all. But in fact, he still came, maybe just because he couldn't worry about the stupid little maid who couldn't even take care of himself!
