Chapter 288 Mountain Temple, Huangfu Rou's Decision
"Boss Shen, where are we going?"

Huangfu Rou was puzzled to see Shen Qing walking towards the deep forest, away from the inner city. She suggested, "The current situation is chaotic, with demons everywhere. It's better for us to go back. Although my Huangfu family has fallen into decline, it is not something that those cats and dogs can mess with. At least we can stay out of the spotlight. Other family heads should not embarrass you because of your identity."

"I'm not worried about the family heads." Shen Qing shook his head and said, "Except for your Huangfu family and Qian family, the other high family heads are all dead."

"Ah?" Huangfu Rou was slightly stunned: "You killed him?"

Shen Qing said nothing and chose to accept.

Huangfu Rou glanced at him, her mouth slightly open, speechless.

Hearing this made her feel a little unreal.

She really didn't expect Shen Qing to be so bold and presumptuous that he even killed the head of the Thirteenth Line.

And not just one or two, but almost all of them were wiped out, completely breaking off relations with the high-ranking families in the Thirteen Hongs.

But think about it, he can even kill demons in the Xiantian realm, those family heads are only at the Danren realm, it doesn't seem very difficult to kill them.

Huangfu Rou did not comment on Shen Qing's behavior.

After a while, seeing Shen Qing still walking deep into the mountains, she continued, "I heard that there are many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the mountains, and the unrest in the city may not end for a while. We are empty-handed now, and there is no food or drink in the wild. I am afraid it will be difficult to survive in there."

"It's okay, there will be a way." Shen Qing said calmly: "We are here."

"arrive?"

Just when Huangfu Rou was still confused, Shen Qing, who had been running all the way, slowed down and stopped in front of a dilapidated temple.

This is a mountain temple. The temple is not big, with only one hall for worship, which is filled with clay sculptures and wood carvings.

Shen Qing helped Huangfu Rou walk into the mountain temple: "Let's rest here for a few days. We can talk about other things after your injury is healed."

Huangfu Rou looked around and found that this mountain temple was not as messy as she had expected, with snakes and rats all over the ground. Instead, it was quite clean, as if someone had taken care of it in advance.

There was even firewood, neatly stacked in a corner of the wall where the rain wouldn't leak in.

"You sit down first." Shen Qing took out a stool from under the clay sculpture and put it aside, allowing Huangfu Rou to sit down gently.

His skillful movements made him feel like he was back home, which made Huangfu Rou a little dazed.

After putting Huangfu Rourou down, Shen Qing jumped onto the clay platform and walked around behind the clay sculpture.

Under Huangfu Rou's gaze, he took out a bag of dry food, two water bags, salt, rice and a large number of other supplies from the clay sculpture like a little squirrel. There was even a big iron pot and a thin quilt in it.

Huangfu Rou was stunned when she saw this scene: "You...how come you have everything?"

"I used to come here often to practice. This is my temporary resting place. Over time, I put a lot of things here."

There was some indifference in Shen Qing's words.

When I was a hunter in the past, it was normal to set up a base in the mountains.

If they from Hongshan Village wanted to go up the mountain to hunt, and if they encountered a large-scale hunting operation, it might not be completed in one or two days, so they would have to spend a night in the deep mountains.

Over time, many hunters would collect materials locally in the deep mountains and forests, build some huts, and place some basic supplies in case of emergency.

He discovered this mountain temple by chance. It was not far from where he practiced martial arts, so he turned it into a temporary base by chance. He didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

Shen Qing put the things he took out on the ground, then took out a few bricks from the corner of the wall, built a simple stove table, put an iron pot on it, and put some dry firewood.

He took out a tinder, blew on it quickly a few times, and a small flame came out from the tinder.

Shen Qing took out a ball of hay, lit it instantly, and threw it under the stove. The hay turned into a raging flame along with the firewood, and the iron pot became hot.

Shen Qing poured some water into it, then tore the dried meat into pieces and threw it in. Finally, he added some rice and salt and cooked it into a pot of white and tender lean meat porridge.

His movements back and forth are as smooth as flowing water, just like a great chef.

Shen Qing glanced at the [Cooking Skills] reminder that appeared in his sight and automatically ignored it. After a moment, Shen Qing served a bowl of hot porridge in front of Huangfu Rou and said, "I only have one bowl and one pair of chopsticks. If you don't mind, just take a bite."

Huangfu Rou didn't act pretentiously. After taking the bowl and chopsticks, she said sincerely, "Thank you."

She was not in a good condition just now because she was chased by the big demon Jiuli. She suffered some internal injuries. Until now, the wounds still hurt slightly and she has difficulty moving.

Now that there was no danger around her, she slowly took out an exquisite porcelain gourd from her arms, poured out a few tiny red pills from it, and placed them on the steaming meat porridge.

Drink it with meat porridge.

To Huangfu Rou's surprise, Shen Qing's cooking skills were actually quite good.

Even this ordinary bowl of white meat porridge had a taste that made her eyes light up.

When the meat porridge and pills fell into her stomach, Huangfu Rou felt an indescribable warmth rising from her body.

The pill started to work.

Slowly, the effect of the pills quietly spread throughout her body, like a gentle rain that moistened a long-dry desert. Her internal injuries were soothed and repaired invisibly. Her injuries showed obvious improvement. Her pale cheeks showed a hint of redness, making her look radiant.

Huangfu Rou slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.

"You look much better."

He has been fighting since the county magistrate got into trouble today, and having killed many people in a row, his physical energy has been almost exhausted. He is already starving and needs to fill his stomach.

Shen Qing took the bowl and chopsticks and didn't care that Huangfu Rou had eaten it.

He filled another bowl of meat porridge and drank it in big gulps.

Born into a poor family, he didn't even consider the difference between men and women.

Huangfu Rou obviously didn't care about this, and nodded and said, "This time the blood pill is a precious medicine from Kyoto, which has a miraculous effect on repairing internal and external injuries of the body. I took some and I'm fine now."

Shen Qing said "Oh" and nodded in response.

Huangfu Rou looked at him wolfing down the food and couldn't help laughing.

At the moment, she had nothing to do, and she was curious about something, so she couldn't help asking, "Boss Shen, how did you learn the Great Void Technique? I remember I didn't teach you too much?"

Shen Qing thought about his words and said calmly, "I have had a good memory since I was a child. I will learn it by myself if I watch you perform it a few times and practice it blindly, plus the tricks you taught me before."

Just practice blindly and you will get it...

Huangfu Rou was speechless.

The Great Void Technique of their Huangfu family is a martial art inherited from ancient times. It is very old and not easy to learn. No one in the family has been able to learn it completely for a long time.

She was just lucky and gained some insights by chance.

In her opinion, after one or two generations, with so few people in the Huangfu family, no one would be able to learn this martial art, and the tradition would be broken.

He can learn this kind of martial arts just by thinking about it?

This dealt a heavy blow to Huangfu Rou's self-esteem.

However, she thought about it carefully and realized that this was not a bad thing.

Martial arts are meant to be practiced by people.

If someone is good at practicing, their Huangfu family should be proud of it.

What's more, Shen Qing saved her life.

Huangfu Rou's face became serious. She made a decision in her heart and asked Shen Qing, "Do you want to learn this martial art?"
