Chapter 21 A Chance Encounter

At this time, the Duwei Road was like a poisonous snake in the deep mountains and forests. There was almost no movement during the shuttle. There was only a slight "Sasha" sound from time to time. The body was extremely strange and agile, and it was full of powerful explosive power.

During the transfer, you can easily overcome one obstacle after another.

"What a great place!"

The gateway suddenly stopped and stood on a hillside with a red light on his face, his body slowly turned, looking down at the situation below, and looking into the distance, as if he had discovered some treasure. He couldn't help but exclaim, muttering to himself without feeling exhausted.

"Tsk tsk... Not bad, Heji Mountain is really a big treasure. It can be used to train those little kids. There are rich wild animals and plants here, as well as a lot of fishery resources, which is completely enough for those kids to be self-sufficient and can support them without spending much money.

If placed in the back mountain, this forest will definitely be a paradise for mercenaries and the best choice for the secret base of the killer group.

This dense forest, this ravine of varying heights, and the streams interspersed therein can not only be used for training, but also the best natural training equipment, and can also set up various traps.

If the arrangement is appropriate, it can completely block the attack of thousands of enemies. Even if it is not strong enough and cannot be stopped, it can hide in the deep mountains and forests and escape unstoppable."

Through the dense canopy, through the sun's position, we looked to the west, where there were undulating woods, and the winding twists and turns, as if there was some mysterious guide, and there was a road to life.

The blockade moved and his figure quickly disappeared into the jungle.

Gaowu Academy—

Amid the sound of horse hooves, the blocking of the guard road was riding slowly, like walking. I don’t know if it was because of the difficulty of walking on the mountain road or because of the interest, the blocking of the guard road was very slow. I kept looking at the surrounding environment, and my eyes finally fixed on a dilapidated building in front of me.

From the overall layout and general outline of the building, you can still see the appearance of the academy in vaguely.

Soon, the blocked road that was riding on horseback stopped, turned over and dismounted, looked at the four big words "Gaowu Academy" that became blurred due to the erosion of wind and rain, and turned to the cliff, climbed up and looked around the entire Hebei Mountain.

In the lush forests, Taoist temples or temples appear and embellish them, and the peaks or hillsides of Heliu Mountain are full of mystery, making people fascinated and imagined to find out.

However, both temples and Taoist temples lack a kind of incense and are silent.

Du Weidao knew that those Taoist temples and temples had been abandoned for a long time, and they were probably empty inside, not to mention the pilgrims, so naturally there would be no incense.

Suddenly, a slight sound came from behind him, which caused Du Weidao to be alert and instinctively defend. Huo De turned around, and a dagger slid from his sleeve and was held in his hand by Du Weidao.

"It's been a long time since no one has been here to visit Heliu Mountain."

With a sigh of vicissitudes, a Taoist priest covered in patches appeared in the sight of the blockade road, slowly walked out of the broken Gaowu Academy, holding a wooden stick in his hand, cleaning up the dead branches and leaves in front of him.

"Master--"

The Duweidao put away the dagger, and the attacking posture was fleeting, and he looked relaxed and casual, called out, and then asked, "Master, I dare to ask you that you are--"

"Haha... I, Yang Yizhi, is called Jingxu, and is the master of Taihe Temple. The donor is polite."

Taoist Shi Shiran walked out of Gaowu Academy and went straight to the mountain road. The dust swayed lightly and gave a bow calmly. He was indescribable and elegant. Although the Taoist robe was broken and dissatisfied with the patch, he still had the fresh and unrestrained temperament of immortality.

"The Taoist priest is polite."

Du Weidao quickly replied to the gift. Out of the instinct of a killer, although the other party looked harmless, he still maintained a safe distance and did not completely give up his vigilance. He then said: "When I was down Du Weidao, I heard that the Heli Mountain is the holy place of Buddhism and Taoism. Come and have a chance to see it."

After introducing himself, Du Weidao was polite and asked again: "Master Taoist, since you are the master of Taihe Temple, why are you so down and out? As far as I know, let alone in Huguang, it is the whole world. In Taoism, Taihe Temple has a lot of status, not as weak as Wudang Mountain."

While speaking, Du Weidao looked up at Taihe and pretended to be careless and looked at Yang Yizhi again.

As far as Duweidao knows, all monks and Taoists who walk around the world, especially those who live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, have extraordinary skills. Otherwise, how can they survive?

"well--"

Yang Yizhi sighed for no reason, and his eyes looked faintly in the direction of Taiheguan. Then, he said with vicissitudes of life: "Taiheguan is indeed prosperous for a while, and there is no way. With the decline of the Ming Dynasty, it is not just Taiheguan. The entire Taoist situation is like yesterday's yellow flowers, and there is no longer the prosperity of the past.

With such a huge Taihe View, I am the only one who is the viewer left now.”

"Oh, it's all caused by military disasters."

As if he felt something, Du Weidao sighed and couldn't help but continue, "It's not easy~"

"Yes~ it's not easy."

With his eyes flickering, Yang Yizhi echoed, then withdrew his gaze, looked at Du Weidao, and said, "But, then, compared to those refugees who are wandering around the world, I am in a much better situation. At least I have a place to settle down, and at least I can barely survive."

After feeling moved, he then sent an invitation to Duweidao.

"What if the donor doesn't dislike the simplicity of Taihe view, what if he talks about it in the view?"

"Honored."

The Duweidao did not refuse, and the answer was quite concise. He even saw the horses. He followed Yang Yizhi up the mountain. During the conversation, he was still looking at both sides of the mountain road, paying attention to each place, and imprinting it deeply in his mind.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the door of a Taoist temple. Although they were as broken as Duwei Road imagined, they were much larger than Gaowu Academy. The outlines of the houses lined up can be seen in the past.

Seeing the broken walls everywhere, many houses were destroyed, and the face of blocking the guard road was filled with shock, he subconsciously paused.

Yang Yizhi, who seemed to have seen through what Du Weidao thought, stopped afterwards, looked at Taiheguan, which was almost in ruins. No matter how calm it was, it could not hide the complexity and loneliness.

"Donor, don't be surprised. Thirteen years ago, there was a Earth Dragon Flip (earthquake) here. Heliu Mountain was extremely severely affected. Most of the Taihe Temple was destroyed, and Taoist priests were killed or injured. It was also from that time that Taihe Temple had fallen, and the entire Heliu Mountain was like a dead mountain, sparsely populated and no longer had the prosperous scenery of the past."

"Senior, you have lived here alone for thirteen years? Have you been here all the time?" Du Weidao was a little unbelievable and looked straight at Yang Yizhi.
