Chapter 81: Arrival

“Are you nervous?” After walking in the mountains for more than half a month, we had basically gotten used to the mountains with snow and no specific routes. A small mountain range was really not a problem for us. At a little after one o’clock in the afternoon, we had already reached the top of this mountain range. Going down this mountain slope, there was still more than a mile to go to the final tomb of the great demon, and then the tomb of the dragon!

When we were standing here, Brother Chengxin asked me a question.

“I’m not nervous, I just can’t bear to let go of Ru Xue.” I said with a slight wheeze, holding Ru Xue’s hand tightly in my hand. The hot breath exhaled was still a burst of white smoke, dispersing in the air. But my feelings for Ru Xue, even if we are separated, it also exists in our past, and will not dissipate. This is the reason I let go, and it is our eternity.

“If you can’t bear to let go, you already have it, so there is no need to let go.” Chengxin brother adjusted his glasses and whispered, “Isn’t Shen Xing’s final promise also mine?”

I smiled. I understood. Ruoxue squeezed my hand a little tighter. That was her response to me.

I don’t know what I was thinking, but I shouted at the distance, which was inexplicably shrouded in a layer of white mist that was hard to see: “Dragon’s Tomb, I’m coming, you wait.”

Wu Lao Gui also shouted, “Big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, I’m back again. This time I’m here to avenge you. You watch!”

Chengxin’s eyes flashed, and he didn’t go crazy with us. He whispered with a sinister smile, “San Jing, your master is here.” Xiaoxi and Xiaomao, who were standing next to him, immediately took two steps back to keep their distance from him, while Ru Xue laughed.

I looked at Ru Xue and laughed. I simply threw the luggage bag down the mountain with all my strength, holding Ru Xue’s hand and rushing down the mountain. Brother Cheng Xin said inexplicably behind him, “This kid, looking for youth?”

After that, he also rushed down, laughing along the way. Old bachelor Li’s lineage has turned Ru Xue into a “bachelor” as well. I don’t know if the people over there heard my arrogant shout, but I think Xiao Chengqian would comment that this kid is crazy.

There really wasn’t much left of the road. After we got down the hill, the forest was inexplicably shrouded in a deep white mist. We saw it from a distance, and the people in the mountains wouldn’t think it was rare. After all, the mountains are like this. Where would they think that there was really something wrong here, with a dragon’s tomb?

Stepping into this white mist forest, we can no longer be happy. After just a few dozen meters, we felt something seriously wrong, because it was cold, very cold, much colder than outside.

Wu Laogui had been here once, so it was no surprise. He said, “If it wasn’t so cold here, we definitely wouldn’t have been able to get to the immortal’s tomb.”

After saying this, Wu Laogui had a smug look on his face, probably meaning that you had to ask me, ask me, but unfortunately none of us asked him. What’s going on? When we get there, we’ll know.

It was so cold here, and the snow was inexplicably not deep. We walked in the forest and soon discovered a new problem. There are naturally broad-leaved trees in the old forest, but in winter, the leaves generally fall off, leaving bare branches. The amazing thing about this forest is that every tree is luxuriantly leafy. The snow accumulates on the trees, which in turn makes the snow on the ground not deep, making it much easier to walk than outside.

Chengxin brother put his hand on the tree, felt it carefully, then narrowed his eyes and commented, “What a strong vitality.”

“How do you know?” Wu Laogui asked Cheng Xin Ge with a look of disbelief.

Cheng Xin Ge took off his glasses and wiped them, saying, “What’s so difficult about this? I’m a medical pulse person. It’s normal to use secret methods to feel the vitality of plants.”

Wu Laogui snorted and ignored Brother Chengxin. In Wu Laogui’s world, the only person who can be proud is himself. If Brother Chengxin is proud, how can he give him a round of applause?

But it is a talkative person after all. After Brother Chengxin said that, it couldn’t help but open its mouth: “To tell the truth, that calf was also a capable person. We came to this old forest on this day of the solar term, and it was cold! I still remember the icy feeling! But at that time, we also discovered that something was wrong with this forest. Why didn’t the leaves fall in the middle of winter? Especially since it was so cold here, what do you think the calf said?”

Chengxin and I were already familiar with Wu Laogui’s style, so we pretended to be reluctant to talk. Wu Laogui was speechless, but he couldn’t help but say, “The calf said that the immortal tombs contain the remains of immortals. Although they are dead, their bodies contain a lot of powerful energy. Ordinary people rot and turn into vitality in the soil, but the energy of the immortals is released, which is a lot of vitality that nourishes this place! Oh, he also said that there are too many spiritual plants in this forest. Many spiritual herbs and trees will run away on their own. When they see that this place is full of vitality, they will come here on their own. The immortal tombs do not block plants, so there are many natural treasures in the immortal tombs!

After Wu Lao Gui finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Xin Ge with a smug look and said, “So what’s the point of calculating the essence? Maybe there are all kinds of strange medicines.”

Brother Chengxin started to pant again, so I quickly grabbed a handful of snow from the tree and slapped it on his face, saying, “Brother Chengxin, you are destined to be a cool guy, so calm down.”

Brother Chengxin narrowed his eyes and flashed a look of brilliance again, then said with a barely-maintained calm: “Mine, all mine. Good medicine can’t be wasted. How many people will be saved if it passes through my hands!”

“Don’t listen to the old Wu ghost’s nonsense. He hasn’t been inside, so how would he know what’s going on?” I took Ru Xue’s hand and continued walking in this strange forest, trying to calm down Brother Chengxin, who went crazy at the mere mention of medicinal herbs.

After walking for more than a mile, we arrived in no time. We had actually discovered before that the end of the forest was actually a cliff, because the view in front of us was a deep blue sky! Where is the tomb of the great demon? Where is the tomb of the dragon?

At the edge of the forest, hundreds of people had already gathered, and I was too lazy to count how many there were.

“Ruoxue, are you scared?” I looked at those people, my face with a sneer, and suddenly stopped and asked Ruoxue.

Ruxue looked to the left and answered me calmly, “What’s there to be afraid of?

On the left side of the cliff, there is a jutting mountain peak, straight and tall, standing there inexplicably like a pen stuck in a flat piece of land. Under the white snow, there is no way to see a way up, and there is no way to get up, because it has almost no slope, it looks like a 90-degree right angle, all around, and half of the mountain is shrouded in white mist. Is that the tomb of the immortals, the tomb of the dragon? Why can’t I see this strange mountain peak over there? Is this the terrain that old forests should have? It’s not Zhangjiajie!

Despite my doubts, I didn’t turn around. I looked at the group of people who were all staring at us with a slight sneer, and my footsteps became calm. I walked over step by step like Ruoxue said, what’s there to be afraid of with a group of people?

Behind me were Chengxin, who was whistling, Wu Lao Gui, who was trying to look calm, and Xiaoxi and Xiaomao, who were also following me step by step. At this point, no one had backed down.

There was no reason to back down. We had already come this far. When we were still more than 10 meters away from the group, I suddenly yelled, “Get out of the way!”

The people immediately stared at me with ill-will. Someone in the crowd let out a low growl: “Kid, you’re pretty arrogant, aren’t you?”

Some people also scolded me.

“Do you really think you’re the best young person?”

“Damn it, this kid looks like he wants a beating. Is he the first person of the younger generation, blowing his way to fame with his master’s reputation?”

“That’s right, a disciple of the old Li school, do you know what the circle of cultivators is?”

Only one voice said weakly, “Chengyi, get out of here. Does that include me?”

I looked over and saw Xiao Chengqian looking at me with a smile. He was indeed in the crowd. In addition, there was another gaze in the crowd that looked at me with a deep meaning. It was Lin Chen. I knew he was here.

But his gaze at me was complicated, and I guess he was also in a state of being unable to tell friend from foe.

I smiled at Xiao Chengqian and said, “You’re not going to leave, are you? Without me, who among you has the ability to obtain the soul of the great demon? Go ahead, I’ll just leave.”

No one spoke. From a certain point of view, cultivators are more concerned about external things. After all, cultivation is a difficult path, and there are requirements for wealth, companions, and the environment. They don’t need to argue with me, and they won’t fight for the air of words.

Xue said to me in my ear, “You’re arrogant enough?”

I smiled and said without any hesitation, “These guys will turn their faces anyway, so there’s no need to give them face. It’s better to be arrogant to the end, and there’s no pent-up anger in my heart.”

“That’s right.” Chengxin also whistled, and then we continued on our way.

Those people actually made a path for themselves. I thought to myself, this time I’m going to be famous. Even if I die in this battle, I’ll be remembered as the one who stopped two powerful martial arts schools with a single word!
