Just as Chu Hongyun and I were about to step into the gate to explore, we suddenly heard footsteps and panting.
"Is there someone there?" Chu Hongyun was surprised and then looked inside the dark door.
After a while, a man carrying a bow and arrow ran out.
Seeing Qiu Yinong and the other person, a smile instantly appeared on his face: "Great, I finally see someone."
"What's wrong with you? Is someone chasing you?" Qiu Yinong suppressed his doubts and asked the hunter curiously.
The hunter stopped, resting his hands on his knees, panting, and waved his hand: "Not really. The day before yesterday, I was chasing a roe deer and accidentally entered this cave. I thought it would soon reach a dead end if it ran into this mountain path."
"Who would have thought that there were people living in this cave? There are houses, pavilions, and buildings inside. It's so gorgeous."
"But the owner of this house is not at home. He left a note on the table saying that anyone who is interested can stay here as a guest. He is out visiting friends, but one thing is for sure: don't harm the animals in the house."
"I thought it was not nice to break into someone's house, so I wanted to go home, but the door was closed."
"Gentlemen, I didn't mean to break in. It was truly an accident. I didn't harm the roe deer or the animals in the house."
Hearing his words, Qiu Yinong instantly understood that he had misunderstood them as the owners of this house.
Looking at the clothes he was wearing, it was a style I had never seen before, and the fabric looked a bit outdated.
My heart trembled, and then I asked: "Brother, where are you from? Do you live nearby?"
"I'm from Yanfeng Country. My name is Zhou Han. I live in Xiaoquan Village at the foot of Canglang Mountain. I'm nineteen this year, and I'm getting married in ten days. Luckily you came back and opened the door, otherwise I would be in trouble."
Qiu Yinong glanced at Chu Hongyun, and Chu Hongyun was also a little hesitant, not knowing whether to tell him the truth.
After a while, Qiu Yinong held Chu Hongyun's hand, glanced inside the gate, and then said to Zhou Han, "I'm sorry, big brother, we've trapped you. Let us take you back!"
"How can I do this? I'm running low on food, so I ate some of your food. How about this, if you don't mind, come to my house in ten days to attend my wedding banquet?"
Qiu Yinong smiled and said yes, put her hands behind her back, closed the door again, and sealed it again with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Pen.
The three of them walked outside, talking and laughing. As they were talking, a beam of light appeared.
Zhou Han said happily: "I saw the exit."
Chu Hongyun was a little confused. Wasn’t there a pond before?
What's going on?
As he walked out of the cave and looked at the completely different scene outside, Chu Hongyun was completely dumbfounded, and something seemed to flash through his mind.
But he failed to catch it, and looked at Zhou Han who shouted happily, grinning and leading the way.
Qiu Yinong snapped her fingers and blocked the conversation between the two.
"Ayun, the land beneath our feet is no longer the territory of Xirong, but the Yanfeng Kingdom from two hundred years ago."
Chu Hongyun was shocked, but he trusted Qiu Yinong very much.
"Are you saying that he really was a Yanfeng national from two hundred years ago?"
Qiu Yinong nodded and looked at Zhou Han's back. "This guy is really a fool with good fortune. He accidentally broke into a cultivator's cave and got trapped inside. He must have eaten the food inside, which made him sleep for more than two hundred years."
"Then he was lucky enough to meet me, the future master of spirits. I was originally hesitant about how to tell him the truth."
"Just now, the Judgment Order informed me that I can use the power of life to control and open the space-time channel and send him back to his original world."
Chu Hongyun understood and then said, "So this judgment order actually requires a medium. If he is not from this era, we can't come here?"
"Not really. As I can fully integrate the power of life and death in the future, I will be able to go anywhere at will."
"Including rescuing your mother." Qiu Yinong looked at him gently.
Chu Hongyun held her hand and said, "As a son, I would be very happy if I could save my mother."
"But if it would hurt you, or prevent me from meeting you, I would rather not go back and change it."
Qiu Yinong smiled: "I understand."
"Well, let's send this silly boy back first!" Chu Hongyun looked at Zhou Han who was waving at them not far away.
Qiu Yinong smiled and nodded, lifting the barrier.
"Let's give him some prey later. Didn't this silly boy go up the mountain just to hunt for meat dishes for the wedding banquet?"
"Okay." Chu Hongyun held her hand and responded gently.
"By the way, I haven't asked you two names yet, where you are from, and why are you two so young living in a cave?"
"When I was young, I heard that there were gods in this mountain...wait..." Zhou Han said, and suddenly knelt down.
Zhou Han looked up at the two of them cautiously, and asked tremblingly, "Have I met a god?"
Qiu Yinong smiled at him, raised her hand, and a force lifted him up.
Zhou Han now believed even more that Qiu Yinong was an immortal, and repeatedly said that he had intruded unintentionally, and asked Qiu Yinong and the others not to blame him.
"Since you've noticed, I'll tell you the truth. You mistakenly entered that cave, ate the food inside, and woke up two hundred years later."
"And now I am the one who manages the rules of this world. I couldn't bear to see you alone, so I decided to send you back."
Zhou Han was stunned on the spot, and then some scenes appeared in his mind.
After he ate the food, he felt sleepy and closed his eyes.
His family members searched for him like crazy. Everyone thought that he had wandered into the mountains while attending a banquet and was eaten by a giant beast, leaving no trace of his body.
His mother cried so much that she went blind, and his father, elder brother and other relatives turned gray overnight due to worry.
His wife, who had not yet married him, still married him and lived as a widow for the rest of her life, just because he had saved her life.
At the age of 32, my eldest and second brothers went out to work.
Only the old mother and three other women were left at home. A few scoundrels broke in at night and brutally raped her. The eldest and second sisters-in-law were also implicated in order to protect their wives. The old mother was unable to do anything and was pushed to the ground, hitting her head and dying on the spot.
Afterwards, the three women hanged themselves at home.
When the eldest and second brothers returned home and saw this tragic scene, they rushed directly to the scoundrel's house and hacked them all to death. In the end, they were sentenced to beheading themselves.
Seeing this, Zhou Han was already in tears.
"Immortal, this is not true, is it?" Zhou Han asked Qiu Yinong.
Qiu Yinong just looked at him, and Zhou Han suddenly became full of anger. Qiu Yinong raised her hand, and the anger in him was quickly suppressed.
"Zhou Han, our meeting is destiny. You have also eaten the food in the cave before, and your meridians have long been opened, cleansing your tendons and marrow."
"Now, I am willing to accept you as my disciple and teach you the techniques of cultivation. I only hope that you will help Da Chu when the time comes."
