This is a woman who looks very young.
Probably in his early twenties.
Wearing a plain grey gown.
And you can clearly see that the gown is covered with dark grey patches.
The moonlight fell on her face.
It also captured her face completely.
She has willow-like slender eyebrows, very beautiful double eyelids, and an oval face. If you only look at her from behind, you would think she is a man.
Because she is very tall.
Higher than Chen Yun.
You have to know that although Chen Yun's height is not considered tall among men, it is also considered to be above average. However, her height is much taller than Chen Yun.
"Are you finally willing to come out?" Chen Yun asked with a smile.
“I, I…”
The woman in gray hesitated for a long time, and seemed to be unable to speak clearly.
"How come you're so fast, but you speak so slowly?" Chen Yun said jokingly, "Don't tell me you've been living alone in this woods all these years, and haven't communicated with anyone?"
"I, I've always been alone."
The woman in gray seemed to have finally gotten used to speaking. She calmed herself down, looked at Chen Yun, and said, "I know you're very capable, so I have something I'd like to trouble you with."
"Since you really want to talk to me about something, why are you hiding and dodging?" Chen Yun said calmly, "You should know that I like to be straightforward."
"Because, because I'm not sure whether you're a good person or a bad person." The gray-clothed woman pursed her lips and continued, "If I didn't have no other choice, I definitely wouldn't have come to you."
Chen Yun nodded gently and said, "Okay, I understand you, but I have to say this first. You can tell me what you need me to do, but I may not be able to help you, and I don't necessarily guarantee that I will help you."
"You must help me."
The woman in gray said pitifully.
"You speak first, I'll listen."
Chen Yun broke a tree and sat down on the stump.
He was already prepared. Perhaps this woman in gray would tell him a very long story next.
However, what the gray-clothed woman said next was beyond his expectations.
Because what she said was not very long, but rather very brief.
"I want to get out of these woods. I want to go down the mountain."
"You want to go down the mountain?"
Chen Yun laughed out loud.
He thought that this woman had some problem, such as a deep hatred or something, or wanted to kill someone with great martial arts skills.
However, it was just such a simple request.
"You have arms and legs, can't you get down the mountain by yourself?" Chen Yun laughed. "Besides, you're faster than me, you can get down the mountain anytime."
"No, I can't." The gray-faced woman shook her head vigorously and said nervously, "The hall master before you told me that I can't go down the mountain. If I go down the mountain, I will definitely die!"
"This is a strange story. Have you ever tried to sneak down the mountain by yourself before?" Chen Yun asked.
At the same time, he was also considering it in his heart.
What was Wan Huatong's purpose? Why did he tell this woman that if she went down the mountain, she would die? Such a thing was totally unheard of.
Or did Wan Huatong really discover something, and he said that for the woman's own good?
Or what did he plan to do to this woman?
"Tell me exactly what Wan Huatong said to you." Chen Yun said softly and slowly.
"By the way, what's your name?"
"I forgot my name, but Master Wan has always called me Ah Hua."
"Since Ahua is the name given to you by Master Wan, now that he is dead, you can use a new name." Chen Yun said with a smile.
"A new name?"
"Just like Xiao Hui, because you are wearing gray clothes now."
"Then I'll listen to you. From now on, I'll be called Xiao Hui."
"Okay, the name has been decided. Now tell me what Wan Huatong said to you."
Chen Yun stood up and spoke slowly.
"He said, 'I'm the mountain spirit of this mountain. I shouldn't have appeared now, but for some unknown reason, I was born prematurely.'"
"I haven't completely controlled this mountain yet. If I leave rashly, the mountain will bite me back." Xiao Hui blinked and said in a low voice.
"Mountain spirit?"
Chen Yun fell into deep thought.
Now he is not sure whether Wan Huatong's words are true. In terms of strength and realm, Chen Yun is far above Wan Huatong, but strictly speaking, Chen Yun has only been in this world for a short time.
In other words, there are indeed many things that Chen Yun does not know.
There’s no guarantee that Wan Huatong didn’t lie to Xiao Hui.
"But if Xiao Hui is really a mountain spirit, he should be very powerful. Even if he is not in his full form yet, he shouldn't be this weak."
"No, I'm not weak." Xiao Hui shook his head and said, "My strength is actually very strong, but I can't display it right now. Look at my speed, it's far faster than yours. If I could use my full strength, even if there were ten of you, you wouldn't be able to beat me!"
Xiao Hui's expression was very proud.
Chen Yun smiled and said, "Then where did all your strength go?"
"Outside, a hundred miles to the south," Xiao Hui said. "There's a village there with a statue of me. All my strength is sealed inside that statue."
"Did Wan Huatong tell you this too?" Chen Yun raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yeah, yeah, that's what he told me half a year ago."
"And you believe it too?"
"I believe it, because I can feel that the strength that belongs to me is indeed over there."
"But you didn't dare go over there."
"I definitely wouldn't dare, because Hall Master Wan has already said that I will die if I go down the mountain, and I haven't lived enough!"
"I definitely can't help you in this situation." Chen Yun sighed softly and said, "If what you said is true, I have no way to help you get down the mountain. After all, I'm not a god."
Xiao Hui nodded and said, "No, no, you misunderstood me. From the beginning, I just wanted you to help me go to that place and get my statue back."
"As long as you bring the statue back here, I can extract the power within."
"There must be something you haven't told me. If it were really that simple, Wan Huatong would have helped you a long time ago."
Chen Yun said half-believingly.
Xiao Hui waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I talked to him about this before, and he helped me, but he failed. He said that my statue was too heavy and he couldn't move it by himself."
"He's lying to you. He could definitely ask other people for help. With his status as the hall master, he can't just command the hundreds of people in Wanhua Hall."
"You can't move it, can't you find more people to go with you? I'm obviously trying to fool you!"
