Chapter 134: The Holy Mountain Prohibition, Merit and Chance, and the Old Doctor's Decision
"Mr. Zhirui, please."
Lu Qing brought a cup of plum blossom tea to the young man in plain clothes.
"Thank you very much."
The young man in plain clothes took the tea, took a sip, and his eyes narrowed immediately.
He closed his eyes and tasted it quietly for a while. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were full of praise: "What a good flower tea, it makes your mouth water, and it has a wonderful fragrance. It is worthy of being a plum tea nourished by the vitality of heaven and earth!"
"If Zhirui likes it, you might as well take some back with you when you go back."
The old doctor also loved tea, and he was quite happy to see that the young man in commoner clothes spoke so highly of the scented tea he had carefully prepared.
"Thank you very much, Senior Chen." The young man in plain clothes said happily.
So Lu Qing went into the house and packed up another small bag of scented tea.
After drinking a cup of plum tea, the young man in plain clothes put down the cup and his face suddenly became serious.
"I think Senior Chen must be very curious about how I knew that you have broken through to the Xiantian realm."
"Yes, I don't quite understand it." The old doctor said truthfully.
When he broke through that day, he did not sense anyone spying nearby. After the breakthrough, he never displayed his innate realm skills in front of others.
I really don’t know where the young man in plain clothes learned the news of his breakthrough.
"Senior Chen, don't mind. I knew about your breakthrough purely by coincidence. I didn't mean to spy on you."
“It’s just that when the senior made a breakthrough, I was in the county town with the sect’s rare treasure on me. I happened to sense the changes in the energy of heaven and earth here, and then I knew that there was a master of acquired martial arts a hundred miles away, who was comprehending the vitality of heaven and earth, drawing the energy into his body, and achieving innate.”
"It's just that the situation in the county has been a little tense these days, and I can't leave for the time being. It has been delayed until today that I am able to visit you, Senior Chen."
The young man in plain clothes explained.
Besides being unable to leave, he was probably also investigating Master's background.
Lu Qing thought to himself.
But now he understood why the other party knew so much about his master.
The master often traveled to and from the county town, and even the county magistrate had seen him. It was no secret that he lived with those nobles in the city.
Considering the identity of this commoner, it is not difficult for him to investigate thoroughly.
However, it was a bit terrifying that the rare treasure on the young man in plain clothes could detect changes in the energy of heaven and earth from a distance of hundreds of miles.
"No wonder. I didn't expect that there are such magical treasures in the world. It's me, an old man, who is ignorant of it." The old doctor sighed.
"This is a rare treasure of our sect, and few people know about it. Senior Chen is a very kind person who only wants to cure diseases and save lives. It is normal that you haven't heard of it." The young man in plain clothes said with a smile.
"What do you mean by a virtuous person? I am just a traveling doctor. I am just doing my duty by curing illnesses and saving lives. I don't deserve such praise." The old doctor waved his hands quickly.
The young man in plain clothes smiled and did not argue with the old doctor.
If a person who possesses the light of merit cannot be called a virtuous person, then there are no good people in the world.
To be honest, the young man in plain clothes is still somewhat shocked.
That is the light of merit, which is usually something that can only be condensed by doing countless good deeds and accumulating countless merits.
Although the light of merit on the old doctor is very faint, the light of merit is the light of merit, and it is not so easy to condense.
Even in the Hanging Temple in those mysterious places, not many people can possess such precious light.
Unexpectedly, he would see it in an unknown itinerant doctor.
How many diseases must have been cured and how many lives must have been saved to accumulate so much merit!
"Senior Chen, I came here this time not only to ask you for a cup of flower tea, but also to discuss something else with you."
"Please speak directly." The old doctor gestured.
Lu Qing's heart sank, knowing that they were finally getting to the point.
“I wonder if Senior Chen has ever heard of the name of the Holy Mountain?” asked the young man in plain clothes.
"The old man is narrow-minded and has never heard of it." The old doctor shook his head.
"The Holy Mountain is a mysterious and great place that is responsible for maintaining the order of this continent. Even the Hanging Temple, Hanshui Palace, Qingyang Temple and other mysterious places all recognize its status."
"All the major families and sects in the world also respect him..."
Following the young man's narration, the old doctor and Lu Qing finally had a general understanding of the so-called holy mountain.
The Holy Mountain is a very special force.
Different from general sectarian forces.
It was an organization elected thousands of years ago by several mysterious places and numerous sects and families in the world to be responsible for discussing and maintaining the order of this continent.
According to Lu Qing's understanding, it is similar to the world he lived in in his previous life, the organization named United.
However, unlike that organization that can only argue about everything, the Holy Mountain itself possesses powerful martial arts power.
The power it wields is unmatched by any large sect, except for those other mysterious places.
The Holy Mountain has an independent status and has never been involved in conflicts between various forces.
Even if a war breaks out between countries, it will just stand by and watch, and will not intervene.
The holy mountain generally maintains those orders that can affect the overall situation of the human race.
For example, the order between the innate realm and ordinary warriors, and even ordinary people.
The innate realm is too powerful. Once a warrior enters the innate realm and is able to refine the vital energy of heaven and earth, his strength will increase rapidly.
When facing them, ordinary acquired warriors are not much different from ordinary people.
The fighting style of the Xiantian realm is no longer limited to fighting with punches, kicks, swords and knives.
Instead, with just a flick of sword energy or knife light, he could easily kill dozens or even hundreds of people.
The powerful innate realm can even massacre an entire city of people in a short period of time.
If such a powerful force is not restricted, the consequences will be disastrous.
There have been records in history of more than one incident where people in the Xiantian realm got into fights in the city because of some quarrels and disagreements.
By the time they decided the winner, the small town had been almost destroyed and countless lives had been lost.
Such incidents happened so many times that the major families and sects realized that they could not continue like this.
Although the strong ones in the Innate Realm are superior, ordinary people are also the foundation of the human race and should not be slaughtered so innocently.
So, after discussion, the Holy Mountain issued a ban.
Even if they are warriors at the innate realm, they are not allowed to use force against humans below the innate realm at will, and they are not allowed to start innate-level battles in the city.
Violators will be imprisoned in the Holy Mountain for reflection at the very least, or be killed without mercy at the worst!
"Senior Chen, I know you don't like fighting with others, but you are now a Xiantian realm warrior, so this ban also applies to you." The young man in plain clothes said, "I came here this time to tell you about this."
"I didn't expect there would be such a ban. Don't worry, this is a very kind act. I will abide by it."
The old doctor stroked his beard and agreed readily.
Seeing the old doctor agree, the young man in plain clothes also smiled.
"Of course, this ban says that the Xiantian realm cannot arbitrarily use force against humans below the Xiantian realm, but the Grandmaster cannot be insulted. If someone deliberately offends or provokes, then even if the Xiantian realm kills the person, he will not be punished."
Lu Qing nodded.
This is the right thing to do. After all, the strong are respected in this world.
How could a martial arts expert who could cultivate to the innate realm be a turtle?
If you are provoked or offended by someone much weaker than you and you cannot fight back, then what is the point of training to become so strong?
In that case, this so-called ban would never be recognized by the major forces.
“Moreover, the Holy Mountain will not let those in the Innate Realm obey this ban in vain.” The young man in plain clothes continued.
"Every newly promoted Xiantian Realm cultivator, as long as they are willing to abide by this prohibition, will be given a chance to practice in the Holy Pond of the Holy Mountain for three days during their lifetime. This opportunity is valid forever."
"Senior Chen, this is a great opportunity for you."
"Oh, what does that mean?" asked the old doctor.
"The Holy Mountain is a mysterious and great place, which contains many opportunities and adventures. Among them, one of the greatest opportunities is the holy pool on the top of the Holy Mountain."
"The holy pool is mysterious and wonderful, and has incredible abilities. It can help people gain enlightenment and break through bottlenecks. It is extremely magical."
"Even the dumbest warrior, if he can practice in it, can also make rapid progress. It is truly miraculous."
Hearing the words of the young man in plain clothes, even the old doctor couldn't help but feel fascinated.
"This world is truly vast and filled with wonders. What Zhirui said is things I, an old man, have never heard of or seen before. This time, I have really broadened my horizons." The old doctor sighed.
"Senior Chen, this jade token is the certificate of the Holy Mountain's recognition. I will inform the sect of your information and pass it on to the Holy Mountain. When you arrive in Zhongzhou, you can use this jade token to inquire about the location of the Holy Mountain from my Tianji Tower."
The young man in plain clothes handed a small jade token to the old doctor.
The old doctor took the jade token and felt a slight movement in his heart.
The quality of this jade token is almost the same as the jade slip of inheritance that Lu Qing had given him before.
After handing over the jade token, the young man in plain clothes stood up and said, "Senior Chen, the main purpose of my trip here is to inform you of some information about the ban. Now that this matter has been resolved, I should take my leave."
"Zhirui is leaving so soon, why don't you stay for a quick meal?" the old doctor tried to persuade him to stay.
"No, the situation in the city has not yet completely eased, and it is not suitable for me to leave for too long. I need to go back." The young man in plain clothes refused.
"Speaking of this, I, an old man, have also heard about what happened in the county. May I ask Zhirui, when will the crisis in Wei Mansion be resolved?" asked the old doctor.
Unexpectedly, the young man in plain clothes shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to resolve the crisis in the Wei Mansion."
It didn't seem surprising that the old doctor would ask this.
The old doctor was shocked: "What do you mean?"
"Although the ancestor of the Wei family has returned, he was injured in the heart meridian by the sword energy of Wang Cangyi, the elder of the Tiancang Sect. Now the sword energy is accumulated and difficult to remove. If the sword energy is allowed to remain in the heart meridian, with his cultivation level, I am afraid he will not be able to survive for more than a year."
“If Wang Cangyi is patient enough and waits for a year until the ancestor of the Wei family dies, I’m afraid that will be the day when the Wei family will be exterminated.”
"Zhirui, can't you stop all this?" the old doctor asked hurriedly.
The young man in plain clothes shook his head: "My Tianji Tower has its own purpose and has never participated in the struggles between various forces. Unless Wang Cangyi takes action personally, I have no reason to intervene in this matter."
After hearing this, the old doctor remained silent for a long time.
Seeing the old doctor remain silent, the young man in plain clothes said meaningfully:
"The key to the survival of the Wei family now lies in the injury of the ancestor of the Wei family. If he can recover from his injuries, the Wei family will naturally be safe. If he runs out of energy and dies, the Wei family will be in danger."
The old doctor was moved and fell into deep thought.
Seeing that the old doctor understood what he meant, the young man in plain clothes smiled.
He nodded to Lu Qing, then picked up the small bag of plum blossom tea on the table, walked out of the yard and went down the mountain.
After confirming that the young man in plain clothes had left, Lu Qing asked, "Master, what should we do now?"
Although it was not specified, the old doctor knew that Lu Qing was talking about the Wei family.
The old doctor sighed and said, "It seems that I can't avoid this time, old man."
"Master, do you want to go to the Wei Mansion to treat the injury of the Wei family's ancestor?"
"Hearing what Zhirui said just now, I'm afraid that I'm the only one who can heal the injury of the Wei family's ancestor. You and I have seen the people of the Wei family before, and they are not bad people. I, as an old man, really can't bear to watch them being slaughtered."
Looking at his master's heavy face, Lu Qing knew that if his master didn't go this time, and the Wei family was really exterminated in the future, he would probably feel guilty for the rest of his life.
It would have been fine if he didn't know that the Wei family's ancestor was seriously injured, but now that he knew, he couldn't deceive himself.
There’s nothing I can do, Master is just such a good-natured person.
Now that I think about it, the young man in plain clothes must have calculated the master's temperament, which is why he deliberately said those words before leaving.
"Since Master wants to go, then go ahead. I support you to go." Lu Qing said, "However, how do you plan to go there? Do you plan to sneak into the Wei Mansion?"
"I'm afraid it won't work." The old doctor shook his head. "The Wei family's ancestor's injury is in the heart meridian, such a vital part. How can they trust me, a stranger in the Xiantian realm who suddenly barged in, to treat him?"
“Moreover, after cultivating to the Xiantian realm, we need to constantly use the power of our spirit and soul to merge with the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth, draw the Qi into our bodies, and refine it into our own Xiantian true Qi.”
"Over time, a trace of the aura of heaven and earth will naturally be stained on your body. This aura is difficult to hide. You acquired warriors cannot detect it, but you cannot hide it from warriors in the same innate realm."
"If I sneak into the Wei Mansion and am misunderstood by the old ancestor of the Wei family, causing a fight, I will be unable to defend myself."
Other veteran doctors may not understand this, but he knows it very well when it comes to dealing with various difficult patients.
Lu Qing remembered what the young man in plain clothes had said before. It would be too unfair if a congenital-level battle really broke out in the city because of this.
"So, only if someone that the Wei family trusts enough can serve as an introduction, can this unnecessary conflict be avoided." Lu Qing suddenly had an idea, "Mrs. Wei and Young Master Wei!"
"This is a good idea, but I'm afraid it will put the mother and son at risk," said the old doctor.
"We are doing this to save the Wei family. I believe Mrs. Wei will understand." Lu Qing said.
Based on his understanding of Mrs. Wei, if she knew the reason, she would probably be much more anxious than them, the master and disciple.
"Okay, then you go and pick the people up from the mountain, and we will set off for the county town in the afternoon." The old doctor nodded.
So Lu Qing took Xiao Li and rushed into the mountains.
When the young man in plain clothes came earlier, he specifically told Xiao Li to hide and did not meet him.
After all, the young man in plain clothes had a rare treasure that was so magical that it could even detect changes in the energy of heaven and earth a hundred miles away.
Although I don’t know if it’s useful for Xiao Li to hide, it’s better to try not to meet him.
However, it seemed that the young man in plain clothes did not realize that he had cultivated the power of the soul.
From this we can see that his rare treasure is not omnipotent.
At least not all information can be detected.
Unfortunately, the young man in plain clothes did not show the rare treasure, so Lu Qing’s special ability was useless and he was unable to find out what the rare treasure was.
Lu Qing ran all the way with Xiao Li, and soon arrived at the cave where Magu and the others were hiding.
It just so happened that all three of them were in the cave.
"Brother Lu Qing, what happened?"
Seeing Lu Qing coming in, Ma Gu and the other two were shocked.
No one could have thought that Lu Qing, who had just left yesterday, would come back so soon.
"Let's talk about it on the way. You guys pack up first, we're going to leave the mountain."
