Shi Potian travels through Linghu Chong

Chapter 9 Why not the eldest senior brother? (Please read~Please collect~)

On the official road from Shaanxi to Henan.

A horse gallops.

A man and a woman on horseback.

The man has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes and a handsome face, while the woman has bright eyes, white teeth and a rosy face.

This is different from the usual situation where a man and a woman ride together, where the man holds the woman in his arms while riding.

This man and woman, the woman is riding the horse and holding the reins, while the man behind her is holding the saddle tightly with both hands, looking around with excitement on his face but extremely quietly.

It was Shi Potian and Yue Lingshan who sneaked down from Mount Hua!

In the past half month, Yue Lingshan would bring a gourd of wine and sneak into Shi Potian's room every night to tell him about the past. However, Shi Potian's condition did not improve, and she became more and more anxious.

She did not bother to prove herself to Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, and once again proposed to Yue Buqun to take Shi Potianxia to the mountain for treatment, but was rejected by Yue Buqun again.

Yue Lingshan couldn't stand it anymore and made a big fuss. She decided to take Shi Potian out of the mountain to see a doctor herself.

So, she prepared dry food and silver three days in advance and hid them in a small forest at the back of the mountain. On the day of her escape, she secretly went down the mountain to buy a good horse. Then, she took Shi Potian down Huashan from the small path at the back of the mountain under the cover of night and ran all the way to the present.

"Big Brother, are you okay? Why didn't you talk all the way?"

Seeing that Shi Potian behind him had not made any movement, Yue Lingshan became a little worried and asked, "Are you afraid that my parents will get angry and blame you if they find out about this?"

"Why are Master and Madam angry and blaming me?"

Shi Potian was ignorant of worldly affairs and had no idea that "leaving without saying goodbye and sneaking down the mountain would make Yue Buqun Ning Zhongze angry." He asked with a confused look on his face, and then said, "I didn't say anything because you told me not to speak."

Yue Lingshan was stunned.

Only then did she remember that when she took Shi Potian away, she was afraid that Shi Potian would make a noise and alarm his parents, so she told Shi Potian not to speak and keep quiet.

I never thought that Shi Potian has kept it in mind until now.

Yue Lingshan was in mixed feelings. The eldest senior brother was such a smart and intelligent person in the past, but now he has become so rigid and dull.

She explained, "I didn't let you talk before because we were still on the mountain and I was afraid of disturbing my parents. Now that we're down the mountain, there's no need to do that anymore. Senior Brother, don't you want to know where I'm taking you?"

Shi Potian shook his head: "As long as I'm with you, I can go anywhere."

He has been lonely and helpless since childhood, and his only playmate is Ah Huang. Yue Lingshan brings him wine and chats with him every day these days. He has already regarded Yue Lingshan as his best friend.

Yue Lingshan blushed.

She already understood that what Shi Potian said was what he was thinking, but it was precisely such straightforward and sincere words that made her not know how to respond.

I felt shy but also a little happy: "Big Brother would never say such embarrassing words to me before."

As the sky was getting brighter, more and more people appeared on the road.

Yue Lingshan estimated that even if Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze discovered that they were missing, they would not be able to catch up in a short time, so she found a small roadside restaurant, bought some ready-made porridge and steamed buns, and found a table to sit down.

Shi Potian was already hungry, so he picked up the steamed bun and started eating it with some white porridge.

Yue Lingshan told Shi Potian about her plan: "Big Brother, the place we are going to is Kaifeng Prefecture in Henan."

Shi Potian had no idea where Kaifeng was, so he said, "I'll listen to you. I'll go wherever you say."

Yue Lingshan looked at Shi Potian's nonchalant expression with a helpless look on her face, but she continued, "Soul separation is a rare and difficult disease in the world. Ordinary doctors have no way to treat it."

"I asked my second senior brother, and he said that the most famous doctor in the martial arts world today is Ping Yizhi who lives in Kaifeng Prefecture. This trip we are going to find him."

"If he can't cure your Soul Separation Syndrome, we'll go find someone else." Shi Potian finally understood why Yue Lingshan brought him out, and said gratefully, "Junior Sister, you treat me so well."

Yue Lingshan said seriously: "Big Brother, you took care of me before, now it's my turn to take care of you. Don't worry, no matter how much it costs, I will cure your illness."

After dinner, Yue Lingshan asked the store owner for directions to Kaifeng, Henan, and then set off again with Shi Potian.

The two of them traveled day and night. When they were hungry, they ate; when they were tired, they found an inn to spend the night. If they missed any towns or villages, they would just spend the night in the wild and eat some dry food they brought with them.

Shi Potian had lived in the wild mountains since he was a child and had long been accustomed to this kind of life. In addition, he now had strong internal strength and was not afraid of cold or heat, so he didn't think it was a big deal.

Yue Lingshan is different.

She had been spoiled since childhood and had never suffered such hardship. The fatigue brought by days of traveling not only made it difficult for her to fall asleep, but also often woke her up in the middle of the night.

However, her personality was the same as Ning Zhongze's, gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. She gritted her teeth and persevered, only losing a lot of weight.

On the way, they also encountered robbers who blocked the road and robbed people, but they were all petty thieves who had no martial arts skills or only had some superficial skills. Yue Lingshan easily dealt with them with just a sword.

We rushed all the way to Kaifeng Prefecture. The whole process was not smooth, but it was safe.

Then, they had the problem -

How to find Pingyizhi?
Ping Yizhi, the "famous doctor who kills people", is well-known in the world and there are countless people who want to see him for treatment.

In order to avoid being disturbed, Ping Yizhi moved out of his previous residence long ago.

Others only knew that he was still in Kaifeng Prefecture, but no one knew where exactly he was.

Shi Potian is ignorant of worldly affairs, and Yue Lingshan has no experience in the martial arts world.

The two had no idea where to go to get the news, and after busying around for several days, they got nothing.

Yue Lingshan felt that this was not a solution, and she was unwilling to return to Huashan in disgrace. After much thought, she decided, "Let's go to Fujian to find our second senior brother! He has been in the martial arts world for many years, has a wide network of contacts, and is very experienced. He must know how to find Ping Yizhi!"

Shi Potian's attention was focused on the pig's trotter in his hand. He chewed it and replied vaguely, "Okay, go find Second Brother."

Yue Lingshan was both angry and amused, and said angrily: "Big Brother, what nonsense are you talking about! That's my Second Brother, you should call him Second Brother! His name is Lao Denuo, he was also in the ancestral hall on the day you were punished, he was the one with white hair."

Shi Potian was stunned and said in disbelief: "That old man is my second junior brother?!"

That day in the ancestral hall, all the Huashan disciples were present, but only Lao Denuo had white hair and looked older than Yue Buqun. Shi Potian was deeply impressed.

Yue Lingshan couldn't help laughing: "What old uncle? Second Senior Brother must be furious when he hears this!"

Yue Lingshan immediately told Shi Potian about the matter of Lao Denuo.

The Huashan sect’s rules follow the order of first admission, but there are two exceptions.

One is Yue Lingshan herself. She is the daughter of Yue Buqun and cannot be included in the order of disciples. She has to be addressed by age, and those older than her call her "Junior Sister".

The other is Laudno.

Lao Denuo just became Huashan's disciple three years ago, and he came here with his skills.

Logically speaking, he should be ranked behind Shi Daizi, Lu Dayou and others.

But because Lao Denuo was too old, had good martial arts skills and rich experience in the martial arts world, Yue Buqun spent a fortune to buy horse bones and made an exception to make him the second senior brother.

Shi Potian scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Why not the eldest brother?"
