Chapter 53 Danger in the Mountain Stronghold
Chapter 53 Danger in the Mountain Stronghold
The next day.
As dawn broke, Yang Song left home and headed straight for the city gate.
He passed a braised pork stall on the way and sat down to order a serving.
Pork intestines, lungs, fried tofu, and baked flatbread were chopped a few times on the cutting board and placed in a large bowl. A large spoonful of boiling broth was poured over them, followed by a spoonful of minced garlic, a few drops of chili oil, and finally a sprig of cilantro. Yang Song couldn't help but exclaim, "Authentic!"
Even with a fortune to your name, you still adhere to your simple lifestyle.
You did not squander your money or indulge in extravagance; you continued to eat ordinary meals as before.
Alas!
People often change their nature when they are rich and powerful. How many people can be like you, unmoved by fame and fortune, unenslaved by money, and always stick to their original intentions?
difficult!
This is too difficult!
[Reward: Seven days of cultivation points]
In no time, Yang Song had eaten and drunk his fill.
He put down a few copper coins and quickened his pace to leave the city.
At this moment, Lu Dashan was already waiting at the city gate.
Yang Songchong greeted them, untied the chestnut horse from the hitching post, and rode it to Black Wind Village with the carriage.
Nothing happened along the way.
During their casual conversation, Yang Song's skill improved slightly, and before he knew it, he had accumulated 4 years and 191 days of skill!
"Officer Yang, thank you so much for coming all this way today.
Lu Dashan drove the carriage into the mountain stronghold and then became very polite to Yang Song.
Yang Song waved his hand. The reason he went up the mountain with Lu Dashan was because he was afraid that if the shopkeeper stayed in the stronghold for too long, he would run into people from the Blissful Sect.
Although the likelihood of this happening is extremely low, we should still take precautions.
When it comes to matters of life and death, it's always best to be cautious!
"Manager Lu, stop with the formalities. Hurry up and load the herbs onto the cart. Let's leave Black Wind Village as soon as possible."
As Yang Song spoke, he rolled up his sleeves.
Seeing this, Lu Dashan panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Wait, wait a minute, Officer Yang, I can handle this kind of rough work. Why do you need to do it?"
Yang Song gently nudged Lu Dashan: "Stop being so polite. Finish your work quickly and leave early, lest things get complicated."
"Well... okay."
Lu Dashan rolled up his sleeves and picked up the wooden box containing the medicinal herbs.
Since last night, Yang Song has been acting very mysteriously, as if Black Wind Stronghold is not so simple!
He should hurry up and get back to work, and leave this troublesome place!
You can simply stand there with your hands on your hips and let Lu Dashan keep busy all by himself.
However, are you the kind of person who prefers ease and comfort?
With your personality, how could you just stand by and watch others work hard?
A willingness to help others is like an instinct etched into your bones, driving you to extend a helping hand to Lu Dashan.
[Reward: Five days' worth of cultivation points]
……
Although Lu Dashan was a famous doctor in Anping County, he was as insignificant as an ant in the eyes of those important people.
This person's status is far inferior to yours, yet you have never looked down on them in the slightest, always treating them with equality.
Unfortunately, the more you act this way, the more respect Lu Dashan shows you. Your desire for an equal relationship will never be realized.
[Reward: Six days of cultivation points]
Amidst a flurry of compliments, Yang Song and his companion unknowingly placed all the wooden crates onto the carriage.
Just as the two were about to descend the mountain, a noisy sound suddenly came from the foot of the mountain, heading straight for the mountain stronghold.
Yang Song and Yang Song exchanged a glance, both noticing the wariness in each other's eyes.
Lu Dashan, in particular, looked worried: "Officer Yang..."
"Let me take a look first."
Yang Song said something and leaped onto the arrow tower.
He looked at the group of people going up the mountain and saw each of their attribute panels.
There were seven or eight people in the group, and the leader was a mid-stage Qi Condensation martial artist dressed in martial arts school attire.
Yang Song's eyes flickered a few times. Could it be someone from the Eagle Martial Arts School?
Liu Zhen suspected that the thief had escaped into the Wild Boar Forest last night, so he sent his disciple up the mountain to ask Black Wind Stronghold for help in searching for the man's whereabouts in the forest.
Thinking of all this, Yang Song flew down from the arrow tower, lightly touched the ladder, and floated down to the ground.
"Manager Lu, don't worry, it should be people from the Eagle Martial Arts School who have arrived."
"Azure Eagle Martial Arts School?"
Lu Dashan was startled: "Officer Yang, don't you have a grudge against this martial arts school?"
Now that we've run into each other at Black Wind Stronghold, isn't that...?
Yang Song chimed in, "A fierce battle is inevitable."
After saying this, he walked out of the village and took out the iron rod from his back.
"Senior Brother Ji, someone has come out of Black Wind Stronghold."
The group of people going up the mountain turned serious.
Ji Wang immediately clasped his hands in greeting and said with a smile, "Hero, we are disciples of the Azure Eagle Martial Arts School. Today, we are here on our master's orders to ask your Black Wind Stronghold for a favor."
Yang Song asked, "Can you help me find someone?"
Ji Wang was stunned. How did he know that?
He watched as Yang Song drew closer and closer, his face becoming clearer and clearer.
"Yang Song! What are you doing here?!"
Ji Wang exclaimed in surprise, never expecting to encounter Yang Song at Black Wind Stronghold.
Immediately afterwards, he became overjoyed.
Master has always wanted to get rid of Yang Song, but he has not had the opportunity. Isn't this a good opportunity to make a contribution and show his filial piety?
"Heaven is helping me!"
Ji Wang was overjoyed, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
The next moment, Yang Song suddenly disappeared from his sight and rushed into the crowd behind him with a loud bang.
The iron rod swept out, and everyone was caught off guard and sent flying, each spitting out blood.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Song thrust his staff straight at the throat of a Cangying Martial Arts School disciple.
The man didn't even have a chance to resist before the stick shattered his throat, killing him instantly.
Upon seeing this, Ji Wang was greatly alarmed.
What kind of strength does Yang Song possess?
A martial artist at the early stage of Qi Condensation couldn't even withstand a single move from him?
At this moment, Ji Wang lost all confidence.
Forget about proving your loyalty and making meritorious contributions; you should be saving your life as quickly as possible!
He dared not fight Yang Song, so he immediately turned and darted into the woods to the side, escaping several feet away in a short while.
Yang Song ignored the man and quickly dealt with all the Cangying Martial Arts School disciples before chasing after Ji Wang.
Now that you're in his grasp, thinking about escaping is just wishful thinking!
Ji Wang fled in such a hurry that the trees and plants in the forest were crooked, and traces of him were everywhere.
Do you think you can escape your pursuit with this kind of escape method?
That's utterly wishful thinking!
[Reward: Ten days of cultivation points]
After the system finished speaking, Yang Song saw a road with a red glow appear in the forest.
"...Automatic pathfinding?"
Yang Song gave a strange look.
He called out to Lu Dashan in the village, "Manager Lu, you should go back to Anping first. Be careful on the way."
After saying this, he gathered his true energy in his lower body and transformed it into a whirlwind that rushed into the mountains and forests.
On the other side, after escaping into the deep mountains, Ji Wang looked back.
The mountains and forests were dense and overgrown with thorns, and he couldn't even tell which way he had escaped from.
"Yang Song probably can't find me anymore, right?"
