From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 169 Going Home
Talented people are always busy.

Meng Yuan and Li Wujiu of Qingyang Palace had met each other on the top of Hulu Mountain.

Moreover, Misty Rain and Flying Rainbow came from Qingyang Palace. At that time, Dugu Kang had warned Meng Yuan not to use it in front of the disciples of Qingyang Palace. He never expected that it would be exposed so soon and was even discovered by Li Wujiu.

"The Taoist priest said it was very profound." The Taoist priest next to Gong Zihua saluted with a cold face.

Dugu Kang's mother's surname is Yun, and this man's surname is also Yun. Meng Yuan felt that the two might be related.

Meng Yuan followed Yun Qishen for a long time before they arrived in front of a thatched hut.

"I borrowed the cave of a little mountain demon. It fits in with the natural feeling of the mountains and forests." Li Wujiu smiled and asked Meng Yuan to sit down.

Taoist Master Yun Qishen stood beside Li Wujiu without saying a word.

Li Wujiu did not ask about what happened in the cave, nor did he ask about Meng Yuan's master. He just talked about Taoist knowledge.

Meng Yuan had little education, and if he was like Xiangzi, he could have talked for dozens of rounds without revealing his true identity. But when he met a real master, he was inevitably exposed for his shallow knowledge.

However, Li Wujiu had no intention of testing him, he was just talking casually.

After chatting for a while, Li Wujiu asked, "How is Dugu Kang?"

"Everything is fine." Seeing that the topic was being brought up, Meng Yuan said, "The prince is pure-hearted and has a taste for poetry. He and I have established a poetry club and we have been writing poems together."

"Elegant." Li Wujiu commented on this word and waved the whisk in his arms.

Yun Qishen then took out a letter and handed it over.

Li Wujiu took the letter and handed it to Meng Yuan, saying, "Please pass it on, Brother Meng."

Meng Yuan reached out to take it, but Li Wujiu did not let go and just smiled slightly.

You monks and Taoists are all seriously ill. You always say half of what you want to say and hide the other half!
"Never let anyone else know about this." Meng Yuan said.

"Thank you." Li Wujiu then let go of his hand and took out a parchment scroll.

Meng Yuan took it and took a look, it turned out to be the Tianji Diagram, but it was the Misty Rain and Flying Rainbow that he had already practiced.

“Thank you.” The Misty Rain and Flying Rainbow that Meng Yuan practiced was taught by Dugu Kang’s mother. Now this copy was given to him by Qingyang Palace, so he was considered to have cleared his name.

"You have good aptitude. You can come to my Qingyang Palace and have a visit someday. Maybe you will gain something." Li Wujiu said with a smile.

"If you have time, I will definitely bother you." Meng Yuan agreed immediately.

After chatting for a few more words, seeing that Li Wujiu had no intention of giving him more treasures, Meng Yuan stood up and said goodbye.

Meng Yuan suffered a lot in the mountains this time, and didn't gain anything. He just opened his second dantian.

Although I have established connections with Lingxiao Sect and Qingyang Palace, I don’t know when I can visit them.

Meng Yuan was not blaming others for not being generous, but Mingyue was too generous, as there were pearls and jades before her.

After returning to the resting place, Meng Yuan was about to ask Mingyue about what happened in the cave when he saw Mingyue was about to leave.

"I don't plan to stay here any longer." Mingyue held the sword, "Commander Xiao will stay here for a few more days. You can take this opportunity to recover and make friends with the nobles in the capital."

Since you don't want to stay any longer, why don't you just leave? I served you so well on your way here, so you can't do without me on your way back!
Meng Yuan figured it out in a flash, and knew who the noble person was, so he quickly said, "Ms. Mingyue, the Third Miss taught me that if you remember where you came from, you will know where you are going. We came together, so we should go back together."

"Are you healed?" Mingyue seemed to have known that Meng Yuan would say this. She glanced at Meng Yuan and couldn't help but smile.

"That's nothing." Meng Yuan was very confident.

Mingyue nodded slightly, "Let's go now."

She didn't want to stay any longer.

"I'll go tell Captain Zhang." Meng Yuan hurriedly went to inform Zhang Guinian.

After putting their knives on their backs, the two men immediately returned along the same route.

It took a long time to come here, but it was much faster on the way back.

Mingyue was still silent, but Meng Yuan had many doubts. The group from Hulu Mountain was clueless, Fengqi Qingguangzi, then the Demon Suppression Division intervened, and then Lanruo Temple, Western Buddhist Kingdom, Lingxiao Sect and Qingyang Palace also sent people.

There were also the imperial teacher's men and Prince Xin Dugu Sheng's men, who were making a huge fuss.

"Have you caught the black rat?" Meng Yuan asked after walking for several miles.

"Dead." Mingyue nodded slightly.

"What are they doing?" Meng Yuan asked curiously.

"Of course, it is for Qing Guangzi to advance from the fourth rank to the third rank." Mingyue spoke as she walked. Her voice was cold, but it did not sound like she was keeping people at a distance.

"In Buddhism, to advance from the fourth rank to the third rank, one must make a great wish and fulfill it." Meng Yuan followed Ming Yue closely, and they walked side by side. "Does Qing Guangzi really want to massacre the city to establish a Buddhist kingdom, and then fulfill his great wish?"

Mingyue nodded slightly and said, "He searched many places and found many people to help him."

At this point, Mingyue slightly turned her head to look at Meng Yuan and said, "But Songhe Prefecture should be fine. The black-skinned rat he buried was a chess piece prepared for Songhe Prefecture. Now that it has been removed, we have to move to another place."

"Where are the other three generals of Prince Xin?" Meng Yuan asked curiously.

"I didn't show up." Mingyue shook her head slightly and said, "Stay away from me."

Meng Yuan was stunned for a moment and kept a distance between himself and Mingyue.

"Miss Mingyue, since Qingguangzi is a Buddhist disciple, why doesn't he save all living beings but insists on making such a grand wish to massacre a city and establish a Buddhist kingdom?" Meng Yuan was quite worried.

Mingyue paused, tapped her head, and said, "The thoughts of mice are not something you and I can understand. When entering the third grade from the fourth grade of Buddhism, making a great aspiration does not mean doing great good deeds. The essence lies in making a great aspiration and achieving it. Depending on the difficulty and achievement, there will be differences in strength and weakness after entering the third grade."

"If you hadn't said it, I really wouldn't be able to figure it out." Meng Yuan nodded.

"Is this how you usually coax Xiangling?" Mingyue asked.

"No, she's happy all day long without any coaxing." Meng Yuan smiled.

The bright moon smiles.

Seeing this, Meng Yuan asked again, "I wonder where Qing Guangzi will choose?"

"Probably in the south, the demon country is also helping him." Mingyue said.

"I don't know what kind of chaos will happen then. We need to be more prepared." Meng Yuan was really worried.

"What you see as a huge change is nothing but a bowl of cold rice on someone else's chopping board." Mingyue suddenly said.

The two men walked eastward while chatting nonsense.

Just in the afternoon, the two of them had left the mountains and arrived at Qishui Town.

"Oh my!" Xiang Qingshan was already waiting, "Are you not hurt?"

"No." Seeing that Mingyue didn't want to speak, Meng Yuan spoke for her.

"That's good." Xiang Qingshan relaxed and invited Mingyue and Meng Yuan in.

This time Meng Yuan did not act stupidly. He did not sit down stupidly, but stood behind Mingyue with his knife in hand.

"It's done." Mingyue made arrangements, "I will rest here for a day and return to Songhe Prefecture tomorrow."

"That's fine." Xiang Qingshan said confidently, "I've already arranged a place to stay."

Seeing Mingyue's expressionless face, he said, "Absolutely clean!"

"Thank you for your trouble, sir." Mingyue thanked.

When they arrived at the residence, several middle-aged women had already boiled water. Mingyue went in and closed the door.

Meng Yuan felt disappointed when he saw that no one asked him to stay to rub his back, even though it would save him some energy.

"After all, he is not a personal bodyguard!" Meng Yuan has always been a man of shame and courage, and he plans to keep trying.
