Chapter 78: The broad road like a sky
"What... is this?" Jiang Wang looked at the black veil woman, his heart sinking.
This white bone lotus was definitely not something orthodox.
"Hey, what's on your body, who are you asking?" The black veil woman's eyes were full of smiles.
"I didn't have this before, and I've never seen this kind of lotus... is it related to your secret technique?"
"I can only say that the secret technique I used to save you seems to have only played a guiding role." She leaned close to Jiang Wang's ear, her breath like orchids, trembling his hair, and then drilled into his neck. "Think carefully, what secrets are you hiding?"
"I... am hiding a secret?" Jiang Wang tried hard to remember, but he couldn't recall anything related to the white bone lotus.
The black veil woman took back the mirror and slowly stood up, retreating.
"Sister saved your life, you don't need to remember everything, just help sister with three things. As for what they are..." She spoke in a seductive voice. "Be good and obedient when you sleep tonight, and wait for sister to come find you."
Jiang Wang consciously ignored her subtle charm and said seriously, "As long as it doesn't violate the principles that Jiang Wang practices, not just three things, thirty things should be done."
"Three things are enough." The woman laughed lightly as she retreated. "You should go back now.""Do you know what this lotus is? What is it?" Jiang Wang asked.
"Oh..." The black veil woman dragged out her tone as if she was thinking, and then said, "It seems to be the White Bone Dao Lotus? The symbol of the White Bone Dao..."
She turned and walked out of the cave.
Jiang Wang sat still, holding his sword with one hand, his upper body bare.
He felt her breath disappear.
...
Jiang Wang checked his body and found nothing unusual. He did two more meridian cultivation sessions to make up for the missed cultivation during his coma before walking out of the cave.
There was a set of Daoist robes piled up at the entrance, probably prepared by the black veil woman.
Jiang Wang was worried about his bare upper body, but he immediately put on the robes and found that they fit well and were very close-fitting.
This woman was seductive and unpredictable, and her words were half true and half false. But saving his life was a fact.
Jiang Wang shook his head and temporarily stopped thinking about it. The woman said she would come back to find him, and he couldn't figure anything out anyway, so he would wait until then.
After a brief survey of the mountain terrain, Jiang Wang had a rough idea of his location and headed towards San Shan City.
If Zhao Rucheng and the others were safe, they should be waiting for news in San Shan City. In any case, Zhao Rucheng would not abandon him, who was still in danger, and return to Fenglin City first.
"Jiang Wang!"
"Jiang Wang!"
"Jiang Wang!"
From afar, Jiang Wang heard the shouts.
The sound echoed through the mountains and valleys, one after another.
Jiang Wang knew that it must be Zhao Rucheng and the others looking for him.
After the previous battle, the fierce beasts on Yuheng Peak seemed to have become more restrained, otherwise they would have rushed down by now.
Jiang Wang rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.
"I'm here!" he shouted.
The shouting stopped and then started again. "Third Brother! Third Brother!"
From far away, a figure shot towards him, shouting loudly. Who else could it be but Zhao Rucheng?
Jiang Wang met him.
The two brothers reunited in the mountains near Yuheng Peak.
They had escaped from death and it felt like a lifetime had passed.
But the two of them didn't show any excitement.
Zhao Rucheng looked up at the sky for a while. "Ah, the weather is nice."
"Yeah." Jiang Wang said.
After a while, Zhao Rucheng brought his gaze back to Jiang Wang and said exaggeratedly, "Wow, you don't look miserable at all. You even changed your clothes!"
Jiang Wang smiled. "You know who's the brother."At this moment, Li Jianqiu, Huang Azhan, Zhao Tiehe, Yang Xingyong and some unfamiliar faces, all of whom were outer disciples of the San Shan City Dao Academy, came over.
"Jiang Wang!"
"Junior Brother Jiang!"
"Brother Jiang!"
Jiang Wang responded with a bow: "Brother Zhao, Brother Yang, brothers! And Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Huang. I am ashamed that my skills are not good enough. Thank you all for coming to find me."
"Brother Jiang, you're too modest! You've contributed a lot to our San Shan City!"
"It's great that you're okay, Brother Jiang."
"Yes, it's great that you're okay."
After Zhao Rucheng woke up, he immediately returned to Yu Heng Peak with the accompaniment of Li Jianqiu and Huang Azhan, and went to the place where Jiang Wang fell off the cliff in his memory.
Originally, he just wanted to find Jiang Wang's body and bring it back. But after searching under the mountain for a long time, he not only did not find Jiang Wang's body, but also did not find any relics such as clothing and fragments.
Zhao Rucheng realized that Jiang Wang might still be alive!
But he did not search aimlessly, but immediately went back to San Shan City to find people. He divided the mountainous area near Yu Heng Peak into several regions and searched in batches.
Sun Xiaoman couldn't come in person because she had to accompany Dou Yuemei, but she organized so many people.
Jiang Wang thought that the black-veiled woman had left suddenly, perhaps because Zhao Rucheng and the others had come to find him.
"Brother San, what are you thinking about?" Zhao Rucheng waved at him and said, "This is Ye Xianzi from the Yun Kingdom. She has also helped a lot in finding you this time."
Jiang Wang turned his gaze and saw the mysterious cultivator in white veil bowing slightly to him: "I haven't thanked Brother Jiang for his help."
I don't know what's wrong with female cultivators these days, they all like to cover their faces when they go out.
"Don't be polite, it was just a small favor." Jiang Wang said.
"Brother Jiang has a high sense of justice and doesn't ask for anything in return, but Qingyu cannot be an ungrateful person." The Yun Kingdom female cultivator took out a beautifully shaped small token and handed it to Jiang Wang, "Brother Jiang, if you need anything in the future, just bring this Yunzhong Token to the Lingxiao Pavilion, and it will be done."
Is Lingxiao Pavilion an all-powerful place?
Jiang Wang was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He said seriously, "You don't have to be so polite. We are comrades-in-arms on the same battlefield. Helping each other is a matter of course. This... Ye Xianzi, you really don't have to be so polite."
Because of the veil, only the eyes of the Yun Kingdom cultivator were visible, and they were bright and clear.
She looked at Jiang Wang very sincerely with these eyes, holding up the small token with both hands: "Please accept it, Brother Jiang, so that Qingyu can feel at ease."
Zhao Rucheng suddenly bumped into Jiang Wang from behind, "Since Ye Xianzi said so, Brother San, just accept it."
Jiang Wang had to accept it.
The small token was shaped like a cloud, with no inscriptions. But upon closer inspection, one could see the misty clouds swirling around it, which was very beautiful.
Leaving her savior unharmed and giving the Yunzhong Token away, Ye Qingyu felt at ease. She said to Jiang Wang, "In that case, Qingyu will leave first. May Brother Jiang ascend to the top of the world. Goodbye."
After speaking, she condensed a crane-shaped cloud beast, stepped on its back, and flew away.
At that moment, the sky was clear and the cloud crane was elegant. She came with joy and left with peace of mind.
Leaving aside other matters, this clear heart was worth admiring.
Encountering life and death, Jiang Wang had no intention of chatting. He said to Zhao Tiehe and the others, "Brothers from San Shan City, I'm going back to Fenglin City now. I have a younger sister at home and can't stay outside for too long."
Zhao Tiehe and Yang Xingyong expressed their understanding, and the other outer disciples of San Shan City who came to help naturally had no objections.Both parties agreed to meet again and parted ways here. One group returned to San Shan City, while the other headed directly to Feng Lin City.
On the way, Zhao Rucheng finally found an opportunity to ask Jiang Wang, "I didn't get a chance to ask earlier, but what happened to you after you fell off the cliff?"
"Yeah," Huang Azhan also said, "When we realized you were missing, we searched for a while but couldn't find you. We thought... In the end, we had to bring the unconscious Rucheng back to San Shan City first. Senior Brother Li has been blaming himself, saying he shouldn't have taken you to Yu Heng Peak."
"It has nothing to do with you guys. I was just careless," Jiang Wang reassured, "I was lucky. After falling off the cliff, I was saved by a mysterious expert. It took some time to recover from my injuries, so I only came out today."
Zhao Rucheng stroked his chin and analyzed, "They even prepared new clothes for you, so considerate. I guess that expert must be a beauty!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Huang Azhan inexplicably became excited, "I think that Fairy Ye is an extremely beautiful woman!"
He and Zhao Rucheng were talking about completely different people, and it was unclear what they were trying to say.
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Wang didn't want to say more about the woman in black veil and the white bone lotus, so he said, "Fairy Ye had her face covered. How do you know if she's beautiful or not?"
"You don't understand." Huang Azhan shook his head and sighed, looking infatuated, "A true beauty doesn't need to show her face. Just a glance, or even a wisp of fragrance, her beauty can be perceived. A mere veil can't hide her beauty."
Zhao Rucheng nodded slightly, agreeing with restraint.
"I finally know why Ye Qingyu covers her face when she goes out."
"Why?"
"Because there are too many lewd fellows like you two!"
