Chapter 6: The Change of Shu Mountain (Part 2)

  About two hours after Zhang Yi left, three people appeared in the bamboo forest. One was Guo Bang, the lord of Hangzhou, who had spoken to Zhang Yi on the west city tower of Hangzhou. Another was Yu Yin, who had killed two demons. The third was a stout man with a blacksmith's appearance, bare-chested and muscular.

  Today, the Empty Heart Sect's leader came to Taiji Palace. That thing from back then... The three of them entered the house, and Bamboo Mountain Old Man said calmly.

  "That year's affair, Hollow Way Sect Master also gained benefits, didn't he?" Fishing Old Man took over Bamboo Mountain Old Fellow's words.

  "Today Kong Shan Dao Chang came to tell me that they have already prepared to return, and it will be within this year." said Zhu Shan Lao Su calmly.

  But the other three people's faces were not so calm, their faces changed greatly, and their eyes flashed with pain, regret, and even a hint of horror.

  Seeing the worry on the faces of the three, Zhushan Old Man comforted them: "You don't have to worry, although they are powerful, but in Central Plains, it's not just us Jiangnan Four Sons, there are also twelve sects. More importantly, when our old generation is gone, there will be a new young generation taking over."

  "Lao Si, how long will it take you to help Zhang Yi forge a Palm Gate Jade Seal?" asked the old man from Zhushan.

  "This jade seal will be cast in three months." The blacksmith replied.

  "After those three months, we'll come out of the mountain and reappear after hiding for ten years. It's time to face our destiny." The old man from Bamboo Mountain said with a distant gaze.

  In the middle of the river, Shu Mountain, Tian Quan Lao Zu sat in front of the Yiling window, checking on Yiling's situation. His face was pale, obviously having consumed a lot of spiritual energy over the past few days to drive out the evil spirit for Peng Zhongtian. However, he still came to check on Yiling's situation. In Yiling's room, there were also Zhuge Moyang and Luo Man, three people in total.

  After a moment, Tian Quan's elder furrowed his brow and withdrew the right hand that was taking Wei Ling's pulse, sighing as he said:

  "Indeed, Ling has been controlled by the Demon Realm's Mind Control Technique, and none of us in Shu Mountain can break this mind control."

  "Elder, you mean that Spirit Master will never wake up?" Yang asked anxiously, while Luo Man beside him was also tense.

  "That's not the case, as far as I know, there is at least one person in Zhongyuan who can break through the Heart Control Technique, and that is Xin Yuezhi, one of the Four Gentlemen of Jiangnan. However, he has a peculiar temperament, and most people seeking medical treatment cannot get his help." Tian Quan said.

  The two of them heard this and their faces immediately fell slack. Luo Man walked to the window, took out his jade flute and began playing "Shui Diao Ge Tou" again. As soon as the melodious sound of the flute rose up, Tian Quan's face changed greatly, interrupting the music to ask:

  "Where did you learn this tune?"

  "Going back to the predecessor, this was passed down by a senior five years ago..." Luo Man saw that Tian Quan elder was so tense, so he recounted his experience of learning this tune five years ago.

  "Haha, Heaven never seals off all exits for a man." Tian Quan laughed loudly and said: "That old fisherman is actually Xin Yi Yu Dizi from back then!"

  As soon as this was said, the three people present were first shocked and then overjoyed. Yang was so excited that he wanted to go to Hangzhou immediately to find him.

  "Girl, go to Yiling's bedside and play a sad melody on your jade flute." Tianquan Elder said to Luoman.

  Luoman heard this and walked to Yiling's bed, then began to play a sad tune on the jade flute. As soon as the music started, Yiling's eyebrows furrowed slightly. This sight delighted the three people by the bed, but they didn't dare make a sound, fearing it would disturb the music.

  As the melody unfolded, Yilin's eyebrows furrowed and relaxed in time, her fingers also reacted, muttering to herself. When the music reached its climax, Yilin slowly opened her eyes, rotating her bright pupils, looking around.

  After a while, the flute sound stopped, and Yiling suddenly sat up, hiding in the corner, looking very frightened. She stared at the four people in front of her with a terrified expression:

  "Who are you? Don't come over!"

  "Yi Ling, don't you recognize us?" Yang asked nervously.

  "I don't like you guys, I only like him, his flute playing sounds so good." Yi Ling gazed at Luo Man with a look of infatuation.

  Seeing this, Tianquan Elder walked out of the room with his hands behind his back. Seeing Tianquan Elder walk out of the room, Zhuge Mo also pulled Yang Guo out, leaving only Luo Man and Yilin in the room.

  "It seems that Ling was only awakened by the flute sound, and a part of his mind is still sealed by the Heart Control Technique, so he has no memories from before." Tian Quan elder analyzed.

  "What's to be done now?" Yang asked.

  "As long as she's awake, everything will be fine. Let her slowly regain her memories for now. For the time being, let that child take care of her," Tianquan Elder analyzed and then turned to leave.

  The flute sound in the room reminded him once again, this time accompanied by Yilin's singing. Yang just listened to the song and felt a lot more at ease, at least Yilin was already awake, at least she was still so happy.

  In the bamboo forest behind Mount Shu, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes sat cross-legged inside a cave. He was facing an old man with white hair. These two were none other than Pang Zhongtian, who had been invaded by evil spirits, and Tian Shu, one of the four great elders of Mount Shu, who took turns to exorcise the evil spirits from Pang Zhongtian.

  After half a stick of incense, Tian Shu elder also slowly withdrew his power. He opened his eyes and said in a slightly tired voice:

  "Mid-heaven, now we have sealed the evil energy within our dantian. Next, you must test yourself by gathering spiritual energy from heaven and earth to expel the evil energy out of your body."

  After finishing speaking, the Heavenly Pivot Elder slowly got up and left the cave. This cave was the Tianquan Cave in the back mountain of Shu Mountain, where the spiritual energy was the most abundant, usually used by the Tianquan Elder for cultivation. Now, in order to help Pang Zhongtian heal his injuries, the Tianquan Elder voluntarily gave up the cave and let Pang Zhongtian use it for healing.

  Under the nourishment of heaven and earth, Pang Zhongtian felt a slight increase in the spiritual energy within his meridians. This feeling of growth was something that Pang Zhongtian hadn't experienced for a long time. In the past, when his cultivation was deep and his spiritual power was strong, he couldn't even detect changes in his spiritual energy during his usual practice. It was only when his cultivation was still shallow that he could feel it.

  This time, due to the invasion of evil energy into his dantian, Pang Zhongtian once again experienced the hardship of accumulating spiritual energy bit by bit after decades.

  Half a month later, Yang Wujing sat cross-legged in the room, surrounded by a layer of red light around his body, with wisps of steam rising from his head. After a while, Yang Wujing opened his eyes, and the halo outside his body also slowly retracted into his body. After the true energy ran for thirty-six weeks, Yang Wujing's heart method cultivation came to an end today.

  He had originally reached the upper segment of the fourth layer of spiritual power, but after half a month of consolidation and accumulation, his physical state had already reached its peak. The spiritual power in his meridians seemed to be subtly overflowing. All this indicated that Yang was not far from reaching the boundary of the fifth layer of spiritual power. It would take at most half a month or at least one month for him to break through the bottleneck of the fourth layer and enter the realm of an intermediate cultivator.

  After collecting his gains for the day, Yang walked to Yi Ling's room as usual. As soon as he reached the door, there were footsteps behind him. He turned around and smiled: "Brother Luo, thank you for taking care of Sister Yi Ling."

  "Yang, there's something I don't know if I should say." Luo Man seemed somewhat hesitant.

  "Brother Luo, you have something to say, just go ahead and say it. You've said we're as close as life and death, what can't be said between us?"

  "Hmm... Although Ling Shi's condition has improved somewhat, it will still take a long way for me to break the Heart Control Technique with my abilities. Brother Yang, you also know this." Luo Man hesitated for a moment before speaking out what was on his mind: "Besides, I'm not a disciple of Shu Mountain, and after a while when my master returns, this trip to Sichuan will also come to an end."

  "What are you thinking of, Brother Luo?" Yang didn't know that Luo Man had some plans that he hadn't spoken out.

  "I think that if I can bring Yī Líng Shī Mèi to Mount Wū, and then take her to Jiāngnán to find the one who taught me 'Yuè Dí Shēng Bēi Qǔ', Heart Doctor Yuè Dì Zǐ, perhaps not long after that, Yī Líng Shī Mèi will be able to break through the mind control technique and recover her memories. At that time, I'll send Yī Líng Shī Mèi back to Shǔ Mountain." Luó Mǎn said softly, revealing his thoughts.

  Yang seemed somewhat embarrassed.

  "Brother Yang, please be at ease. I, Luo Man, guarantee Sister Ling's safety with my life." Luo Man patted his chest and promised, seeing the hesitation in Yang's expression.

  "Brother Luo, don't misunderstand me. I'm not doubting you, it's just that Ling Shi is the only daughter of my master and the leader of Shu Mountain. Whether she can go to Mao Mountain with you, I have no authority to decide." Yang said, expressing his difficulty.

  "We'll talk about it after Master Zun comes out of his meditation." Luo Man said with a hint of disappointment.

  Yang didn't say anything, but he secretly thought to himself as he watched Luo Man's expression.

  After parting with Luo Man, Yang You came to the entrance of the forbidden area in the back mountain. He looked around and found that there was no one nearby, so he used the first layer of the third move of the "Seven Star Sword Spectrum" - North Pole Hidden Star. In a moment, Yang You disappeared into thin air, and neither his physical eyes nor his spiritual sense could detect his trail.

  Yang Youwei walked slowly towards the depths after hiding. Half an hour later, Yang Youwei arrived at a fork in the road and chose the left path based on his first instinct.

  As Yang walked into the small path on the left, a figure emerged from the small road on the right. He looked at the small path on the left and muttered to himself with a profound gaze: "You can actually hide your entire aura, it seems that this breakthrough has brought you quite a harvest. Our Shu Mountain Zhongxing has hope now."

  After saying this sentence, the man drifted away.

  The end of this small path is a stone wall that is tens of meters high and hundreds of meters wide. The stone wall is as straight as if it were cut by a knife, with not a single blade of grass growing on its surface, but there are several caves of varying heights on the wall.

  Yang looked at the stone wall and found that it was actually divided into four layers. The first layer had three parallel caves below, the second layer had two caves, the third layer had one cave, and the fourth layer also had one cave, adding up to a total of seven caves.

  He found that the top of the three caves at the bottom had words engraved on them. The first one on the left was engraved with the two characters "Tian Shu", and the next two were "Tian Xuan" and "Tian Ji". The second layer of caves was "Yu Heng" and "Kai Yang", the third layer was "Tian Quan", and the fourth layer was "Yao Guang".

  Yang continued to probe layer by layer, and when he reached the third layer of the cave, he saw a middle-aged man in brocade clothes sitting cross-legged inside the cave, who was Pang Zhongtian.

  "Master, please accept your disciple's bow." Yang had just seen Pang Zhongtian and immediately prostrated himself on the ground.

  "Over?" Pang Zhongtian's face remained calm, but from his gaze and tone, he was still surprised that Yang Guo had suddenly appeared here.

  Pang Zhongtian did not help him up, although he was a kind person, but the management of Shu Mountain Sect was very strict. Without the gatekeeper's order or elder's decree, no one was allowed to enter the forbidden land of Shu Mountain.

  Yang raised his head after knocking his head and found that Pang Zhongtian's face was iron-green, obviously dissatisfied with his unauthorized entry into the back mountain.

  "How did you get here?" Pang Zhongtian asked coldly.

  "Master, Ling's sister is injured." Yang said with a downcast gaze, speaking in a self-reproaching tone.

  Pang Zhongtian's face suddenly turned pale when he heard this, and he grabbed Yang Guo's arm with a tense gaze.

  Yang told Pang Zhongtian about the process of how Yiliang was captured by Leng Wuxie and lost her memory, and after hearing that his daughter had not been seriously injured, only losing her memory, he let out a long sigh.

  "You're saying that Luo Man, a disciple of Mao Shan Sect, wants to bring Yilin to Jiangnan to find Yu Dizi?"

  "Yes, Master. I'll accompany him and try to help Yilin recover her memories as soon as possible." Yang asked.

  "You don't have to go, that Jade Flute is eccentric and having more people go would make things worse. Besides, you need to cultivate on the mountain and prepare for the Silver List Competition. Do you think Luo Man can be trusted?" Pang Zhongtian asked.

  "The disciple and he are bound by a life-and-death friendship, the disciple believes that he has no ulterior motives." Yang guaranteed resolutely.

  Pang Zhongtian thought for a moment and then said, "Let Yi Ling go down the mountain with them."
