Chapter 0006: The Beauty Must Descend the Mountain

  It is said that today is a lucky day on the Yellow Road, and Master Hui Chong has chosen today to send six Vajras down the mountain.

  Before leaving, Master Hui Chong made his final request.

  "You six people will go down the mountain, one person every hour, and try not to let outsiders notice. After you go down the mountain, all of you must grow out your hair and not let anyone know that you are from Biyuan Temple. You were originally secular disciples, now it's time for you to return to secular life. After going down the mountain, you will go to different places to resist Japan, best is to join a real anti-Japanese organization or go back to your hometown to start an anti-Japanese armed force. The six of you cannot be together and cannot go to one place together. Do you understand?" Master Hui Chong said seriously.

  Master Hui Chong's parting words left the six Vajras perplexed. Yuan Ren was about to speak up and express his confusion, asking Master Hui Chong to enlighten him. Just then, a beautiful young girl slipped into the hall from outside and loudly exclaimed: "Big brothers are going down the mountain to fight the devils, why didn't you take me? Daddy, I want to go too!"

  Who was it that came? It turned out to be the daughter of Master Hui Chong, the apple of his eye - Yao Fenglan. This Yao Fenglan was only seventeen years old, with a slender figure, a melon-shaped face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and two dimples when she smiled, extremely beautiful. Yao Fenglan not only looked pretty, but also had excellent martial arts skills, deeply mastering Master Hui Chong's true teachings, training with eight senior brothers since childhood, all of whom liked her very much.

  Which girl does not have a crush. The senior brothers gradually discovered her heart from her words and deeds. It turned out that Yao Fenglan had fallen in love with the eighth Jīn Gāng Xīn Yuán. Xīn Yuán was so clever that he had long understood Yao Fenglan's thoughts, and the two of them willingly and quietly got together.

  And the seventh Jin Gang, Geng Yuan, also secretly fell in love with Yao Fenglan. He naturally often felt jealous of Xin Yuan, and there was resentment as well. Geng Yuan was not willing to give up, and he began competing with Xin Yuan.

  Yao Fenglan's affairs were all taken care of by her secret admirer Geng Yuan.

  As soon as Yao Fenglan entered the Golden Light Hall, Geng Yuan immediately sensed it. Before Yao Fenglan reached the center of the hall, Geng Yuan had already moved a chair over and wiped it clean with his sleeve, placing it at the front of the hall where the senior brothers were standing. Then he went to Yao Fenglan's side and made a polite gesture: "Junior sister, the chair is ready, please sit down and talk."

  Master Hui Chong summoned his disciples to discuss matters, but none of them dared to sit down and speak. However, every time they discussed matters, Yao Fenglan was coincidentally present, and Geng Yuan would always offer her a seat. Whenever Geng Yuan offered her a seat, Yao Fenglan would glance at Master Hui Chong with embarrassment. But Master Hui Chong didn't make things difficult for her; he just smiled and nodded at her, and only then did Yao Fenglan hesitantly take a seat.

  After a long time, Yao Fenglan also accepted this treatment.

  Today's Yao Fenglan, however, didn't have the heart to care about whether she should sit or not. All her thoughts were now on Xin Yuan. Wherever Xin Yuan went, she had to follow, because she couldn't bear to leave Xin Yuan for a single moment. Yao Fenglan had shouted that she wanted to go down the mountain with Shixiong to fight the devils, thinking that Xin Yuan would also be going down the mountain this time, so she hastily ran up to the Jin Guang Temple.

  If Ruoxin Yuan goes down the mountain to fight the devils, Yao Fenglan will definitely not stay in the temple.

  Master Hui Chong had thought of this point long ago.

  "Dad, I'm already 17 years old this year, I've grown up and should contribute to the country too. I also want to go down the mountain with my fellow disciples to fight against the devils! Dad, please agree with me! Please, agree with me!" Yao Fenglan walked in front of Master Hui Chong, acting coquettishly.

  Geng Yuan was shot there, frowning.

  Hui Chong's face immediately fell, looking at Yao Fenglan, opening his mouth, but saying nothing.

  Master Yuan Ren noticed that Master Hui Chong was somewhat displeased, so he quickly walked to Yao Fenglan's side and said: "Sister, stop causing trouble, you're a girl, it's not suitable for you to go down the mountain." Then, lowering his voice, he whispered in Yao Fenglan's ear, "This time going down the mountain, our eight people didn't all leave, Eighth Brother Xin Yuan was left at the temple by Master." After finishing speaking, Yuan Ren smiled and nodded at Yao Fenglan before retreating back to his original position.

  Yao Fenglan listened to Master Yuan Ren's words, turned her head and glanced at Xin Yuan. She saw Xin Yuan hanging his head, with a dejected look on his face, and knew that Xin Yuan was upset because he couldn't go down the mountain to fight the devils.

  Yao Fenglan let out a snort of laughter and her face suddenly flushed red. Xinyuan didn't leave, and she had nothing to worry about anymore.

  "Oh, I see! So you're taking turns going down the mountain! Alright, I'll go with the next batch. Dad, don't worry about it anymore, I won't go down this time. Hehe! You guys continue, continue." After saying that, he jumped and ran out of the Golden Light Hall.

  Hui Chong Master watched Yao Fenglan's back disappear into the distance, shaking his head in dismay.

  Yao Fenglan's deep glance at Xin Yuan was seen by Geng Yuan, who felt a pang of sourness in his heart.

  Yao Fenglan left, just in time to ask Master about the intention behind his previous words. So, Eldest Brother Yuan Ren took a step forward and paid his respects to Master Hui Chong.

  "Master, you just said that the six of us brothers should split up and go down the mountain without anyone noticing, and we can't fight against the Japanese together. The disciples don't understand, if the six of us brothers could work together to fight against the devils, we could form our own team and take care of each other, how great would that be? Why can't we be together? Your disciple is foolish, please enlighten me." Yuan Ren, being the eldest brother, had the responsibility of taking care of his younger brothers, so he brought up what others wanted to know first.

  Master Hui Chong gazed at each of his eight disciples with piercing eyes. Master Hui Chong thought to himself, "My eight disciples are my life's work and the precious treasures of Biyuan Temple! To resist the Japanese and save our country, I have no choice but to stake everything on them. May they fulfill their individual aspirations to serve the nation this time they go down the mountain, and may they not bring calamity upon Biyuan Temple."

  Hui Chong Master thought of this, suddenly opened his eyes, and shouted loudly in the hall: "Yuan Ren!"

  Yuan Ren cupped his fists in both hands and respectfully replied: "Disciple is present!"

  "Am I asking you, are you Chinese or from Biyuan Temple?"

  Yuan Ren was somewhat perplexed and didn't know why Master Hui Chong would ask this. He was at a loss, but couldn't not answer.

  "Replying to Master, I am a Chinese and also a person of Biyuan Temple."

  "Good! Well said! You are first a Chinese, then a person of Biyuan Temple. Remember, no matter when, don't forget that you are a Chinese!" Master Hui Chong swept his gaze over the faces of each disciple, and paused for a long time on Geng Yuan's face, so much so that Geng Yuan lowered his head under Master Hui Chong's gaze.

  "Yuan Ren, I ask you again, this time you come down from the mountain, is it to resist Japan for Biyuan Temple, or to resist Japan for the country, or to resist Japan for the nation?" Master Hui Chong continued to ask.

  "Of course it is for the country to resist Japan and for the nation to resist Japan!" Yuan Ren said firmly.

  "This is right. To resist Japan for the country, to resist Japan for the nation, to fulfill one's duty as a citizen. I want you all to return to your hometowns, unite with the anti-Japanese elements in your hometowns, strike at the devils and make them restless! When you go back, remember not to say that you are from Biyuan Temple, nor should you say that I am your master." Master Hui Cong's eyes were slightly moist.

  "Why?" The disciples asked in unison.

  "Don't ask me why, just do as I say." Master Hui Chong said.

  Master Hui Chong was just about to send the first person down the mountain when a noisy commotion suddenly came from outside the door.
