Chapter 45: Descending Mount Hua, legs weak; heading northeast towards Mount Heng.
We spent a warm spring night in the boudoir, but the night was too short and the sun rose high.
Yue Yuan walked to the gate of Mount Hua under the scorching sun, where Liang Fa had been waiting for a long time.
He held his waist with one hand and waved to him with the other, as if to say hello.
Seeing that his face was pale, his eyes were dark, and he was sweating profusely, Liang Fa quickly stepped forward to help him up.
"Junior brother, are you sick? If you are, we can go another day."
He waved his hand and refused, saying, "It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well. The pleasures of the heart are a hero's grave."
"You don't look like you haven't slept well!"
Nonsense, it's definitely not like that. Liu Jing pressed him hard last night, keeping him up all night. Even an iron waist can't withstand that!
"Don't worry about me, just go!"
The two of them walked towards the mountain gate, their steps uneven.
Ning Zhongze and her daughter set off in the morning, as did Linghu Chong and Liu Jing; only they set off at noon.
However, there was one advantage to setting off at noon: under the blazing sun, his cold body slowly began to warm up.
Halfway down, he suddenly asked, "How is Junior Sister Liu?"
Liang Fa had no doubts. "Junior Sister Liu came out quite late, but she had already gone down the mountain with Senior Brother long ago."
Sure enough, there are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not fields that are ruined by plowing.
They staggered down the mountain, and it was already afternoon. Traveling at night was no easy task these days, so the two decided to spend the night in Huayin City and set off again the next day.
"Third Senior Brother, now that we've arrived in Huayin City, we're on my territory. Today, I'll show you the splendor of the mortal world."
"How do I experience it?"
Yue Yuan pointed to the Yihong Building not far away, "Look, we're here!"
"A brothel!"
Before he could finish speaking, Yue Yuan had already walked quite a distance, so he hurriedly chased after him.
The madam spotted Yue Yuan from afar. He was a renowned poet; his poem "Magnolia Flower" had been a sensation for a long time, and her Yihong Pavilion had made a fortune during those two months.
She quickly called over two pretty and generous girls to greet her.
"Mr. Yue, it's been a long time since you've come."
He pulled Liang Fa to his side and said to the madam, "This is my senior brother, the great hero Liang Fa of Mount Hua. Quickly, serve him the best wine and food!"
The madam gave the two women a wink, and they each grabbed Liang Fa from the left and right, trapping his arms in their soft embrace.
"Junior brother, this..."
"Third senior brother, relax a bit. You're already tired from practicing swordsmanship. Let the girls help you loosen up your muscles."
The madam led the two into a private room, where a table was set with a feast of fine wine and food.
"Mr. Yue, please enjoy your meal."
Seeing the madam about to leave, he called out to her, "Where is Miss Qin? Tell her I'm here and to come find me."
The madam looked troubled. "Mr. Yue, this Miss Qin is a virgin, I..."
"You don't need to worry about it, just go and call them."
"Okay, I'll give it a try!"
After the madam left, Liang Fa asked curiously, "And who is this Miss Qin?"
Before Yue Yuan could explain, a magnanimous woman next to him said, "Miss Qin is quite remarkable. She was originally from an official family, but her family suffered a misfortune and she was taken in by her mother. Since then, she has settled in this Yihong Brothel and usually plays the zither for people."
"And that's not all. This Miss Qin is absolutely stunningly beautiful. There's a saying, what's it again? Something like, 'beauty without equal'?"
"A single glance back and a smile could launch a thousand ships, leaving all the beauties of the imperial harem pale in comparison."
"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I wanted to say, it's incredibly beautiful."
At this moment, Liang Fa's admiration for Yue Yuan was like a surging river, never-ending.
He snatched his junior sister away from his senior brother on Mount Hua, and then heard that he had an affair with Master Yilin of Hengshan. Now he has met such a beautiful confidante.
I'm so envious, so incredibly envious.
Luckily, I sought refuge with my junior brother, otherwise I would never have witnessed all this. The mortal world truly is a test of the mind!
Just as Liang Fa was chatting happily with the two women and the three of them were getting along very well, there was a knock at the door.
"Enter!"
A woman in a pink tulle dress walked into the room carrying a violin.
She stepped forward and bowed slightly to Yue Yuan. "Mr. Yue, I'll play the zither for you. What piece would you like to hear?"
"Take me to your room!"
"yes!"
He turned to Liang Fa and said, "Third Senior Brother, eat and have fun. All expenses are on me. Just mention my name." After saying that, he followed Miss Qin out of the room.
The two arrived at the room of the girl with the zither, where she put down her zither and sat down at the tea table to make tea for Yue Yuan.
"After Elder Tong's death, were there any changes within the Divine Cult?"
The girl sighed, "Now the entire Divine Cult is under Yang Lianting's control. We lousy fish and shrimps have definitely been abandoned. But you are different. You are Elder Tong's confidant. Be careful of the other members of the Divine Cult plotting against you."
plot?
The current Yue is not the same ignorant man he once was. If he's still worried about retaliation from a few lackeys, then he's wasted his life.
"So, Yang Lianting has completely taken control of the Divine Sect. What about Xiang Wentian?"
"I don't know, they say he died somewhere."
It seems Xiang Wentian faked his death to avoid the limelight and began searching for Ren Woxing. Time waits for no one; he needs to establish a power base now.
"Do you know where Elder Tong's men are, and how many can still be contacted?"
"I think I can contact about a hundred people, but I'll have to try to find out the exact number."
"Then let them wait for me at the foot of Mount Heng in the North. Tell them I will lead them back to Blackwood Cliff to avenge Elder Tong!"
The girl nodded, indicating that she had made a mental note of it.
The two of them quietly drank two cups of tea, and the sky outside gradually darkened.
"Sir, it's getting late. Why don't you stay here for the night?"
After saying this, Miss Qin lowered her head almost to the bottom of the tea table.
Yue Yuan smirked. "What are you good at?"
"This slave knows the secret techniques of Yin and Yang."
The Yin-Yang Secret Method, isn't that just the Dual Cultivation Technique? Yin and Yang are in harmony, Yin gives rise to Yang, Yang gives rise to Yin, Yin and Yang merge and create endless life.
I never expected that this girl with the zither would have such skills.
"Then what are we waiting for? Get me dressed."
"yes!"
She was adorned in a golden palace and served as a beautiful concubine at night; from then on, the emperor neglected his morning court sessions.
However, things are different now. This Yin-Yang secret technique is quite effective. He didn't feel tired at all; on the contrary, he was eager to try it out.
However, it's getting late, and we need to get down to business.
Leaving the Yihong Pavilion, Liang Fa felt unsatisfied, but he appeared somewhat apprehensive.
"Junior brother, you absolutely mustn't let Master know what's going on here. If Master finds out, it'll be a real problem."
"Master? He wouldn't know."
"That's good. But next time you come back, junior brother, can you bring me along?"
Yue Yuan looked at Liang Fa in surprise, "What, you've taken a liking to those two girls?"
"No," he looked around and said softly, "so this is what sex between men and women is like, much better than using your hands."
"It's alright, Third Senior Brother. I'll marry you a whole bunch of wives in the future. You can change them every day if you want."
Is this really true?
A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!
Upon hearing this, Liang Fa clasped his hands in a fist salute, his eyes resolute, and gave him a deep bow: "I will follow the sect leader's lead!"
"Haha, Third Senior Brother, what are you doing? Please get up quickly."
Liang Fa remained unmoved, showing no sign of getting up until he agreed. Seeing this, Yue Yuan could only helplessly say, "Third Senior Brother, I promise you, when I become the sect leader, you will definitely have a place."
Upon hearing this, Liang Fa was overjoyed and quickly stood up. "Thank you, Sect Leader!"
"Haha, I'm not one yet. I'll shout that when I actually become one!"
"As the sect leader commands!"
Yue Yuanyao pointed at him twice, "Third Senior Brother, you!"
"Hehe, Sect Leader, please wait a moment, I'll go fetch the horse."
Watching Liang Fa's departing figure, Yue Yuan smiled. It seemed that the Huashan Sect would soon be his. Next, it would be the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Sun Moon Divine Sect. Zuo Lengchan and Dongfang Bubai, you wait, I will come to find you soon.
