Chapter 314: Watching the Heavenly Road

The stone statue of the leader did not answer, but just lowered its head even lower, which seemed to be what he meant.

"There's no need to do that. We're just helping out." Xiao Yu shook his head.

The stone statue of the chief bowed, stood up again, turned around and led his subordinates towards the village.

The villagers standing around were now filled with both fear and admiration.

The fear was that they had never seen stones move, and the admiration was that they finally saw the seven warriors they had worshipped for generations.

No one knew who took the lead, but they also began to pay homage to the seven warriors.

Men, women, young and old in every household knelt on the ground, thanking the seven warriors for their guard, and muttering something.

Naturally, the seven warriors did not attack them, but calmly passed through the village and headed towards the top of the mountain.

Seeing that they were going back to Tianshan, Xiao Yu and Xu Chuchu hurriedly followed, wanting to go with them.

But the seven warriors were running faster and faster. They looked very close to him, but no matter how hard they ran, they could not catch up with him.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

"They went back to Tianshan!"

"There really are seven warriors. The seven warriors continue to protect us!"

The villagers came up and were all very happy. Looking at Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu, they regarded them as the benefactors who awakened the seven warriors and began to pay them respects.

"Thank you both, benefactors! No more strange things will happen in our village!"

"My benefactor, please come to our house for a simple meal tonight!"

"What's the point of eating a simple meal? Come to my house. I'm going to kill a pig!"

"You know shit! Potluck is a cultural term, it means eating good food!"

Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu were so frustrated by the worship that they had to persuade the villagers to go home after much persuasion.

"Come to think of it, we've done a good deed, but we still don't know how to get up the mountain." Xu Chuchu said somewhat dejectedly, "The seven warriors are so mean. They didn't even offer to take us a ride."

"That's right." Xiao Yu said seriously, "We should have stopped them and asked them how they got there."

"They can't talk, so I probably can't get anything out of them." Xu Chuchu replied casually. Yun Leyun felt something was wrong, "...Okay, you're laughing at me!"

"That's nothing." Xiao Yu frowned.

"You still say no!" Xu Chuchu kicked him lightly.

Xiao Yu didn't shy away and said with a smile, "It's okay, Chuchu. We've done everything we should do. I believe Tianshan understands our sincerity and will let us go up the mountain."

"Okay. Let's try again tomorrow." Xu Chuchu was not very worried.

Nature is the most particular about cause and effect, good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished. They did good deeds, and it is impossible for Tianshan, the mother of nature, to be so indifferent and reject them.

The two turned around and saw the old village chief standing not far away with his hands behind his back, looking at them from afar.

"Do you two want to go up to Tianshan Mountain?" he said proactively, "Come with me."

Xu and Xiao looked at each other in surprise, and followed the old village chief back to his home.

The village chief lives alone in an ordinary house. His family is not much better off than Losang's just because he is the village chief.

He poured hot water for the two of them, sat down and said, "Not everyone can climb Mount Tianshan."

Xu Chuchu nodded: "We understand the reason, but we have our own reasons for not going."

Xiao Yu asked perceptively, "Does the village chief know a way up the mountain? When will the path that Mr. Ma Jiang and his team discovered appear?"

The old village chief said calmly, "It's not a matter of time. The path up the mountain only appears to the most innocent people."

Seeing the two people's stunned expressions, he hurriedly said, "Ah, I don't mean to say that you two are not innocent. The innocence that Tianshan recognizes means an innocence without any desires or extravagances, without any intention to harm others, and without any suspicion of others."

"The front is easy to deal with. This person has no intention of guarding against others..." Xu Chuchu shook his head. "If someone goes up the mountain without any intention of guarding against others, the end will be very tragic."

Just like kind Alima.

"That's right, it's a contradiction in itself," the village chief sighed. "Daba and his brothers went up the mountain by mistake because of Alima's presence, and ended up harming Alima. I never knew they had gone to the top of Tianshan, otherwise I would have sought justice for Alima long ago."

"Fortunately, Tianshan's request was not known to others, otherwise more women like Alima would have been harmed." Xu Chuchu said.

But what was the point of the village chief telling them all this? Was he suggesting that they could kidnap a girl as innocent as Alima and bring her up the mountain?

Regardless of whether the girl was willing or not, they didn't want to force her to do anything. Tianshan Mountain was full of dangers, and they themselves might not be able to protect themselves, so how could they guarantee the girl's safety?

The old village chief nodded and said, "Don't worry, this secret has only been known to my family for generations. I have never told anyone before you."

"Now my son has left the village and settled elsewhere. When I die, this secret will disappear with me, and no innocent girl will suffer anymore."

It turns out that the village chief's family has been guarding this secret for generations.

Speaking of death, the old village chief looked very relaxed, as if he had wanted to take this secret away for a long time.

He turned around and took a black cloth strip from the hook on the wall where the bow and arrow were hung.

"Thank you for helping to revive the Seven Warriors. This village no longer has any meaning. In a few years, the villagers will move to more prosperous places."

"This is for you." The old village chief handed the cloth strip to Xu Chuchu.

Xu Chuchu took the piece of cloth hesitantly: "Excuse me, what is this..."

"The pure illuminate the divine path, while the blinded stalk the mountain path." The old village chief said quietly, "I will leave you here. Please return."

Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu didn't ask any more questions. They said goodbye to the old village chief and returned to their residence.

The old village chief didn't say it explicitly, but his meaning was very clear.

Those who are pure like Alima will find the Divine Path, while others need to be blindfolded to see the path.

Xu Chuchu touched the black cloth and didn't find anything different about it.

But the power of Tianshan should not be underestimated, and perhaps it is not something that ordinary people like them can glimpse.

The next day was another bright sunny day. The two came to the foot of the mountain and prepared to make another attempt.

As usual, Xiao Yu wanted to tie a cloth strip on his eyes to prevent Xu Chuchu from getting hurt, but Xu Chuchu refused.

"I'll come this time," she said. "Yesterday you were standing closer to the old village chief, but he handed the cloth to me. It must have a meaning."

Xu Chuchu covered her eyes with a black cloth, and something incredible happened.

Although her eyes were covered, she was not blind to the scene before her. Instead, she could see the layers of mountains more clearly.

The mountains, trees, and soil are all gray-black, with the exception of a road that stretches upwards and stands out as a snow-white color.

There is no doubt that this is the guidance of Tianshan.
