Chapter 41: Reunion Ten Years Later

He Duandao opened the bedroom door and saw that his disciples were all standing outside the door waiting for him, and instructed one of the disciples to call their uncle Lu Junliang, and when the disciple was about to turn around and go to the door of Lu Junliang's bedroom, Lu Junliang had already led his apprentice to the door of He Duandao.

He Dudao and Lu Junliang instructed their disciples to go to the kitchen immediately to cook and eat.

Many disciples of the Kongtong faction crowded into the narrow kitchen, some received water, some washed vegetables, some lit the fire, and some cooked vegetables, each disciple divided labor, and quickly made several tables of breakfast, He Dudao and Lu Junliang led the disciples of the Kongtong faction to devour breakfast.

After breakfast, He Gandao asked a few of his disciples to take care of the disciples who guarded the road down the mountain pass last night, let those disciples eat and rest a little, and instructed all the remaining Kongtong disciples to conduct a carpet search of Huashan to see if there were caves, cellars or tunnels where Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er could be hidden.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, He Dudao and Lu Junliang stood on the top of the mountain behind Huashan and hung their heads, they searched all the rooms, mountains, cellars, and caves in Huashan for a whole day, and they didn't even find the shadows of Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er.

He Dudao and Lu Junliang were discussing on the mountain, and the disciples of the Kongtong Sect had never seen Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er coming down from the only downhill junction in Huashan, so why couldn't they be found.

Lu Junliang turned around and looked at the cliff below in disappointment.

Lu Junliang slapped his head fiercely with his hand, He Jundao thought that Lu Junliang blamed himself for not finding Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er, and opened his mouth to comfort Lu Junliang, but he thought that he didn't have the face to face the senior brother of the sect.

Lu Junliang took He Quandao's hand, pointed to the cliff below and said, with personal martial arts, it is impossible to jump from the bottom of this cliff and still be alive, but if the Huashan disciples can use a long rope to escape from here or other cliff places, Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er will definitely be sent off the cliff by the Huashan disciples in this way.

Because the disciples of the Kongtong Sect were all eyeing the exit to the east, in order to escape for their lives, they must have fled to the west.

He Dudao immediately ordered a few Kongtong Sect disciples around him to call all the Kongtong Sect disciples over.

He Dudao stood and said to a few disciples of the Kongtong faction, you put on the clothes of the Huashan faction, dress up as a disciple of the Huashan faction, manage all the affairs of the Huashan faction, and if there is any news in the rivers and lakes, immediately fly pigeons to pass on to them and the people in charge of the faction.

When Lu Pingliang left, he told them to send a few disciples to establish a pseudo-Huashan faction after destroying the Huashan faction, as a stronghold of the Kongtong faction in the Central Plains, and on the one hand to expand the power of the Kongtong faction.

On the one hand, he explored all kinds of news in the rivers and lakes for the Kongtong faction, and was a pioneer for him to truly lead the rivers and lakes.

When Lu Junliang ordered a few Kongtong disciples to garrison Huashan, Lu Junliang instructed the remaining disciples to immediately find a thick and long rope in the Huashan faction.

These Kongtong Sect disciples had already turned all the places of the Huashan Sect upside down just now, and quickly found the rope that had been thrown casually just now.

Lu Junliang instructed the Kongtong sect disciples to connect the ropes, and then used one end of the rope to wrap around the three thick trees and tie them to the fourth thick tree.

Under the orders of He Dudao and Lu Junliang, the disciples of the Kongtong faction climbed down from the cliff in turn.

After the last Kongtong sect disciple came down from the cliff, the sun had already set.

Lu Junliang walked to He Dudao's side and told He Dudao that Huashan was already the stronghold of their sect, and leaving this rope might be useful to them in the future.

He Quandao agreed to Lu Junliang's proposal and let the rope hang on the cliff.

He Dudao summoned all the Kongtong sect disciples and told them to divide into two paths, He Dudao led his apprentices from the valley to the north to find out the whereabouts of Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er, and Lu Junliang and his apprentices went from the west to find out the news of Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er.

If there is news of them along the way, they will immediately fly pigeons to spread the news to the other way, and the other way will immediately go to reinforce and hunt down Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er.

He Dudao and Lu Junliang dragged their tired bodies, and immediately chased after Chai Zhiheng and Ling'er while eating the food brought down from Huashan.

Chai Zhiheng held Ling'er in one hand and Dieyi in the other, and fled forward with light skills.

Although Dieyi has studied kung fu with Zhang Yuhua and Lin Xiaotong for a few years, Dieyi is a girl after all, and she spends most of her time taking care of Ling'er, plus Dieyi is not very interested in kung fu, Dieyi's martial arts are low, and the escape speed of the three of them is not fast.

Chai Zhiheng hugged Ling'er and thought about where he should flee and where he should flee.

Dieyi saw Chai Zhiheng's confusion and told Chai Zhiheng that if they didn't know where to flee now, they could hide in their homes first.

150 miles west of Ling'er's home, a small mountain village is almost isolated from the rest of the world, and the people there hardly leave the village except to buy necessary daily necessities, and the outside world knows little about this village.

Chai Zhiheng couldn't find a safer place, so he had to listen to Dieyi's advice and flee to Ling'er's house.

Chai Zhiheng, Ling'er and Dieyi finally escaped from the valley and came to a small mountain village, where Chai Zhiheng simply tidied up his clothes and gently knocked on the door of a mountain people's house.

An old man walked out of the house on crutches and asked Chai Zhiheng who the three were and what was the matter.

Chai Zhiheng told the old man that they were now on the road, physically and mentally exhausted, and saw that their family had a horse, and wanted to buy the horse with money.

The old man shook his head and told Chai Zhiheng that this was a horse they farmed and could not be sold.

Chai Zhiheng escaped from his pocket two ingots of silver and told the old man that he knew that they lived on horses and farmed the land, and if he sold this horse to them, the two ingots of silver would be theirs.

The old man is not a greedy person for money, but when he sees his broken family, the twenty taels of silver can not only buy them another horse, but also buy a lot of food to feed their family for a long time, so he gratitiously took the silver and asked Chai Zhiheng to take the horses away from the stable.

Chai Zhiheng came to another mountain gate, Chai Gate, and bought the horses in the same way.

Chai Zhiheng asked Dieyi to ride a horse alone, and he held Ling'er to ride a horse.

Two horses galloped on the mountain path, and after half a day, the two horses passed by the door of the hotel where Zhou Qinghai lived.

Zhou Qinghai, Cucumber and Lin Yuanhai were coming out of the door of the hotel.

Zhou Qinghai saw Chai Zhiheng in peasant clothes and Ling'er in regular clothes from the dust, and felt that these two people seemed to have seen them somewhere.

Zhou Qinghai stood at the door, thinking about the two people, and after thinking for a while, he didn't remember who these two people were.

Cucumber shouted that the master should go, and Zhou Qinghai relieved himself and went on the road with Cucumber and Lin Yuanhai.
