Chapter 133 Hongjun’s Lair
Wuyou wore a man’s clothes. Phantom helped to comb a man’s hair. In the mirror, Wuyou looked handsome and herotic. Today, she would go with uncle to the Martial arts field. Upon mentioning the Martial arts field, the uncle’s eyes glowed more brightly. They needed to pass a field of wheat to the Martial arts field. In the field of November, the most lively was the reed flowers along the river. As the wind breezing, the reed flowers like snow fluttered into the field.
The Martial arts field was situated in the east of the Xitou Village, where it used to be secondary yard of a great family. And then, Jiefei bought it with 300 taels of silver. The two entered the martial-arts arena, and it did open Wuyou’s eyes. To her surprise, there were so many people in the countryside playing martial arts, men and women, ranging from three years old to 18 years old. All of them were in high spirits. Several people at the young age giggled and ran up at the sight of Uncle Jiefei, and paid a salute to him. And those at a older age looked steady and serious. Wuyou’s clothes made her looked like an elegant Young Master. When she entered the Inner Yard, those girls practicing martial arts twittered and gesticulated happily. Wuyou’s face turned red while Uncle Jiefei’s face turned black. Wuyou regretted having shown up in a man’s attire. Qin Lengyue’s appearance was strikingly beautiful, so even a man’s clothes could not cover her graceful manner. Female disciples had not seen such a handsome man before, so they all widened their eyes. Some of them even came close to Wuyou. When they confirmed that the person in front was a true one, they flooded up to Wuyou. In such a rural area, how astonishing it would be to see an outstanding person. Little girls expressed their admiration. Wuyou just gave a gentle smile. Uncle took a deep breath, trying to wipe out the upset in his heart.
The last row of the secondary yard was an independent courtyard, where Uncle Jie took a rest. The more she saw the little yard’s layout, the more she liked it. Wuyou liked the yard of this kind. It was well arranged with flowing foutain and the pavilion providing the cool. Uncle made great efforts to arrange everywhere in it. Wuyou leapt up and landed on the foutain. Her graceful clothes danced lightly in the morning wind. At that moment, a pair of black eyes stared at her. He was nobody else but Yan Shen’s brother Yan Bo. Today, he came to Jie family’s Martial Club to visit the master, Jiefei, because someone had recommended him. It was the first time for Yan Bo to come there. The man on the foutain was strikingly amazing. Even if Yan Bo did not have the hobby for boys’ love, he could not help but praise for the man’s outstanding appearance.
“Mentor Jie.” Wuyou flew up, feeling uncomfortable for a stranger.
The person called Mentor Jie was at the old age. His goatee trembled with smile, and it looked rather funny. Wuyou glanced at Yan Bo and nodded optionally.
“Uncle, I want to turn around in the front yard...” Leaving the small courtyard and walking on the bluestone path, Wuyou won little girl disciples’ admiration all the way.
“It’s a rare guest...”
The old man with goatee was the village head of the Xitou Village. Since Jiefei was a new comer, he was well taken care of by the village head. And the secondary yard was also the village head’s, but was just left unused. The village head was so warmhearted that he sold the yard to Jiefei, since Jiefei was a stranger here. In order to adjust himself to the common people’s lives, Jiefei ran a martial-arts arena, by which he could not only make a living, but also give full play to his strengths. Although Jiefei did not have Spirit Power, he was still an expert in Kung Fu. Now, he was just a common peron and lived a common life. And he needn’t to worry about his three meals a day at all. This was what Jiefei yearned for.
“This is Young Master Yan.” The village head was very concerned about the young man, and Jiefei had seen much of the world, so he knew that Young Master Yan was not an ordinary person. Yan Bo’s severe face could finally brightened, and he thought what he saw today did not dispdisappoint him. Jie family’s martial-arts arena was too large to be contempted. Mentor Jiefei was so amazing! Xitou village was an isolated place. Yan Bo wanted to secretly grow the influence. Now, Emperor Yan was at Hongjun’s beck and call. If things went on like that, they would be reduced to Hongjun’s slaves and the human world would be Hongjun’s pool of soldiers. It was the last thing that Yan Bo wanted to see. Therefore, before Hongjun penetrated into Jin City, Yan Bo wanted to replace him.
The three entered the inner hall, and Jiefei ordered his little discple to serve the tea. The village head sank on the soft couch, held the tea cup and blew gently. Perhaps he was too thirsty, so he took a gulp, and then he felt a searing pain on the tongue. His fatty face changed and he kept breathing. Jiefei did not know whether to laugh or cry, wondering what happened to the village head. Jiefei could not help but laugh. Seeing Mentor Jie was in a good mood, the village head told Jiefei his purpose to come there. Yan Bo just played with the tea cup and observed quietly Mentor Jie. Seeing the village head speak out the purpose directly, Yan Bo would like to know the answer. After all, the Martial Club was Jiefei’s, and it was proper to get the owner’s approval. Jiefei just wanted to live a life as a common person did. So he was unwilling to get involved, and began guessing the Young Master Yan’s identity. Seldom people in the Jin City could have the family name as Yan. Then, Jiefei had the answer in his heart that the Young Master Yan must come from the great family of Yan. The closer to the people in the imperial court, the more dangerous it would be. Jiefei was so experienced that he knew it well.
“Mentor Jie is a person of the Jin Kingdom. Don’t you think about the people of the Jin Kingdom? If Hongjun swallowed up the human world, could Mentor Jie have a pace to stand?”
Yan Bo was making a bet that he hoped Jiefei would change his mind. But he did not know Jiefei’s origin. Jiefei had no concept about mortals. Besides, Jiefei just became a mortal not long ago, so he had no feeling for the human world. Running the martial-arts arena was merely for making a living. As for the tribulation in the human world, Jiefei could not care about too much. At the door, Wuyou heard the words of “Hongjun”, and calmed down. She had come to say goodbye to Uncle Jiefei. But now, it seemed that she needed to stay there for more days. Her husband’s disappearance must be relevant to Hongjun. Wuyou became invisible in the corner. The door was open from inside. Jiefei saw off the guests and felt uneasy in his heart, afraid that his refusal to Young Master Yan would stir up any trouble to him. Wuyou revealed herself and said goodbye to her uncle. No one knew when they could meet again since the seperation today. Jiefei was a little depressed. Wuyou could not bring herself to say goodbye to her uncle, but she had no other ways, because she still had something more important to deal with. Seeing the desceding figure, Jiefei was overwhelmed by sorrow, and he thought he did get old. Jiefei leaned on the passage and let out a long sigh. Looking at her husband from afar, Phantom could do nothing but just stare at him. A person had to face something personally, and others could not give a hand. Phantom just wanted to accompany Jiefei to the end of the world.
Wuyou transformed herself into a gisp of smoke and followed. Yan Bo was cast down, but not discouraged. After all, it was the first vist. Anyone would avoid the topic about the world events. Yan Bo knew it well, but time waited no one. He had got to do that. At present, the most effective way was to persuade Yan Shen to get rid of Hongjun. But would Emperor Yan listen to him? Yan Bo was not so sure. The village head flattered Yan Bo all the way, but still failed to see Young Master Yan’s smile. The village head blamed Mentor Jie inwardly. Jiefei was not worth bringing forward indeed, and even did not give face to the friend. The village head thought he made a wrong friend, since the village head was thirst for being a high-rank official. Taels of silver were not enough, and he wanted power and influence. No matter what official it would be, he wanted to take charge of others. Yan Bo had promised to let the village head be the county magistrate. But no one knew when Yan Bo could realize his promise. The two came to Jin city, and the village head became the attendant to follow Yan Bo. Wuyou’s purpose was to find out Hongjun’s lair. Only by finding out Hongjun could her possibly find her husband. Although the Jin City was in the war, it was still in order in the city. It seemed that Yan Shen did have his method to manage there. Yan Shen could fight against Di Qing for several months, which showed he had abundant reserve. But Wuyou did not expect that it was Hongjun’s influence behind Yan Bo. Who could imagine that among the three realms, the human realm would suffer continuous war? Of course, it was the result that the weak influence was suppressed by the strong one. For those rapacious common people, they thought as long as they had imperial authority, they could have the power to decide others’ life and death, and the wealth that would not be used up. As a matter of fact, in the eyes of Hongjun, Emperor Jun and Chidi,
they were just nonentities partitioned by others at will. Yan Bo wanted to look around the military camp, so the village head had to stay in the Yan residence. Wuyou followed Yan Bo to the military camp, which was not so ordinary indeed. Yan Shen was an idea man, but he even slept and ate with soldiers. Why he did that was to gather morale. Not all the leaders could do that. But Yan Shen did it well. Wuyou had a new view of the old man. In order to take revenge for his son, Yan Shen had to fight in the war battle at his old age. He was ambious and courageous. So what was the Young Master Yan like? Wuyou looked around the barrack and did not find any Impure Essence soldier. She was so disppointed that she was about to double back. The moment she was going to come out of the barrack, she ran into a familiar person. Although the man was her enemy, she was unwilling to let go of this chance. Madam Yu did not expect that she would encounter the fox, and then held the Spirit Stab with Icing air. In other’s barrack, Wuyou would not act wildly, and she brought Madam Yu under control with a move. Wuyou lifted Madam Yu up and hid in the dark.
“How bold! Dare to go to the barrack...”
Madam Yu calmed herself down and did not want the fox to know her thought. There was somthing important for lurking in the military camp at midnight.
“Do you know Hongjun’s residence?”
Wuyou did not have the leisure time. Since they were in the same military camp, it was appropriate to know her and others. Madam Yu was so smart, and how could she not knwo Hongjun’s lair? Madam Yu felt relieved inwardly, thinking that the fox did come in time, because she was quite scared of Hongjun. What’s more, Hongjun’s ambition was too high to be controlled. Luckily, the Heavenly Book’s master was here. It would be great to kill Hongjun, such a disaster. Madam Yu made up her mind and led Wuyou to sneak out of the barrack. Wuyou felt puzzled. However, Madma Yu did not make any explanation seeing fox’s confused look.
“Madam Yu, you’re so abnormal that you make me puzzled.”
Wuyou stopped and stared at the naga, since Wuyou had killed Ming Zhu, so why did the naga help her now?
“I will take revenge sooner or later, but now there is something urgent at the moment.”
“Madam Yu, where is Hongjun’s liar? No talks for other things.” Wuyou secretly gathered her Spirit Power, and Madam Yu had no way to retreat. But Madam Yu thought the fox would not have a happy ending, too.
Madam Yu led Wuyou to fly into the forest in the mountain. No one could guess that Hongjun’s liar was hid in the lofty mountains and high ranges. Looking at the buildings concealed in the forest, Wuyou could feel chill well up from her feet. Spots of candlelight made Wuyou associate with the hell. Madam Yu stared at the buildings as her face turned paler. Shrouded by the cold moon, it was more ghasty. Madam Yu thought she’d better leave there as soon as possible, since she did not dare to provoke Hongjun. As for the fox, to lead her there, Madam Yu might take the revenge for killing her daughter. Why not go ahead with it? Madam Yu weighed in her heart and thought her plot was rather wise. She did not know Wuyou’s thought that Wuyou would not fear any cradle to the grave, as long as she could rescue her husband. Wuyou would have a try, even if there was only a trace of hope. She would not let her husband alone. Even if in front of death, she was willing to accompany him.
Madam Yu slipped quietly, leaving only the shadow of the moon. Wuyou thought she should think of a perfect plan. The enemy was in the open, which was benefical to her. So she decided to rob an Impure Essence soldier and knew more details about Hongjun. She leapt to the air and flew to the depth of the forest. Hongjun’s palace was hid in the high cliffs. When Wuyou landed from the clouds, she realized that the entire buildings were set a defensive cover. To enter the palace, she needed to break the Impure Essence Qi first. Wuyou spread her Spirit Power and attatched Pangu Spirit to the defensive cover. Then, the defensive cover cracked. Wuyou squeezed her way in and moved cautiously, because it was Hongjun’s hinterland, and one could not be too careful.
The whole palace was heavily guarded, and Wuyou hid herself at the corner. The Impure Essence passed by, and the little soldiers patrolled back and forth. To enter the palace was easy, but to find Hongjun was not. Wuyou flipped her spiritual fingers, and then a small stone hit the trunk to make birds scream.
