Wuxia: An Immortal Taught Me Scientific Martial Arts Training

Chapter 11 Entering the Immortal Mountain

Early in the morning, Lei Long and his crew had already gathered on the deck to prepare to disembark, while on the beach at the other end of the deck, a dozen or so islanders had been waiting for a long time.

"Greetings, everyone."

The leader of the islanders was a middle-aged man, not very tall, tanned dark, and looked quite sturdy.

"Grandma is already waiting for you all at the foot of the sacred mountain."

Xiao used his ability to look at the man and found that his name was Wen Zhong, who was Granny Wen's son and Wen Qingqing's father.

Even though they are mother and son, she is called "grandmother." I don't know what unique custom this is on the island.

"One, two..."

Wen Zhong looked carefully at the people in front of him.

"That's good. As agreed yesterday, the rest of you shouldn't come down. The island can't hold so many people."

"Of course, I never go back on my promises."

Lei Long glanced back, and the men from Qianlang Village then put away the planks of the boat.

"Then please follow me."

Wen Zhong raised his hand to signal, and the others followed suit.

Xiao Xuan frowned slightly as he looked in the direction the group was heading.

Isn't this the direction to the village on the island?

Is this person going to lead Lei Long and the others into the village?

Doesn't this give the other party an opportunity to poison him?

Xiao Xuan clicked his tongue. Could it be that Wen Qingqing didn't deliver his message last night? Or do they have some other plans?

"There's only one road on this island, and it was made by people walking on it."

As Wen Zhong led the way, he introduced the scenery of the nameless island, making everyone marvel at the simple and honest folk customs.

"Our village is just ahead. Going through the middle is the closest way to the sacred mountain."

As they entered the village, Lei Long whispered to the others from behind:

"If I had known it would be this easy, I wouldn't have bothered coming up with so many methods last night."

"Hehehe..."

As Wang Hong and Wei Ziheng were laughing and chuckling, the group passed by the village well.

"Ouch~"

Su Qing, standing in the middle of the crowd, immediately said in a sweet, coquettish voice:

"Everyone's tired after walking for so long."

Everyone stopped in their tracks, and Lei Long angrily shook off Su Qing's arm.

"Damn it, why are you making such a fuss!"

As Lei Long spoke, his gaze fell upon the village well.

"Brother, water is scarce on the boat, could you please draw some from this well?"

"Come on, come on!"

Wen Zhong did not refuse; instead, he immediately ran to the well and personally drew water for everyone.

"This... there's no need to trouble you, brother!"

Lei Long was polite in words, but he had already reached out to beckon everyone over.

Wang Hong, Sha Peng, and Wei Ziheng rushed forward, and the rest of the group followed.

"Fill up all the water bags."

Xiao Xuan stood aside, observing everyone's every move, and understood the meaning behind it.

Presumably, his information last night did not gain Granny Wen's full trust, and today Wen Zhong deliberately led everyone into the village and past the water source, probably to see Lei Long's attitude.

"Everyone on the island grew up drinking water from this well."

"It's really good, sweet and delicious, and refreshing."

Seven or eight people circled the well several times before leaving one after another.

With so many people around, Xiao Xuan couldn't tell whether poison had been put into the well or not, but judging from Wen Zhong's expression, he probably already had the answer.

The group continued through the village, passing the ancient banyan tree, and arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Granny Wen was standing there with the rest of the islanders, waiting.

"Since Island Master Wei is here, this old woman won't say any more. Just take them inside."

"Alright then." Wei Ziheng nodded in agreement.

"You have three days. Please remember that, and don't let this old woman drag you out."

"Haha, of course not."

Wei Ziheng raised his long staff, clasped his hands in a salute to Granny Wen, and then led the group up the mountain path.

"Isn't that old woman coming along?"

"It's a rule on their island that islanders are not allowed to enter the mountains."

"This makes things easier."

Lei Long revealed a smug expression and exchanged a glance with Su Qing.

Xiao Xuan and Mai Shuangji witnessed all of this, which was hardly good news for them.

"There's a mountain pass to the left ahead. If you squeeze through, you'll see a clearing in the valley. The puzzle mechanism is there."

Following Wei Ziheng's instructions, the group passed through the mountain pass one by one.

Xiao Xuan walked at the back, carefully observing his surroundings.

The pass was extremely narrow, requiring one to turn sideways to pass through. Sha Peng, who was in front of Xiao Xuan, was so large that he blocked Xiao Xuan's entire view, and all he could hear was the rustling sound of his clothes rubbing against the stone wall.

After about a hundred paces, the sand eagle sprang out like a cork, and Xiao Xuan followed closely behind, walking out of the mountain pass.

"oops!"

Sha Peng dusted himself off, looked around, and exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Xuan's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected there to be such a spacious valley behind the mountain pass. Now he understood the "sudden enlightenment" in "The Peach Blossom Spring".

"This place is too remote. Does that ingenious immortal have to crawl back from there every time he goes home?"

Sha Peng complained from the side, while the others couldn't help but cast disdainful glances at him.

"The Ingenious Immortal is a top-tier expert who has surpassed the ninth realm. Do you think he's like you?"

After Wang Hong finished speaking, Lei Long and the others burst into laughter.

The valley is bathed in sunlight, and you can see white clouds when you look up. However, the distance between the two cliffs is at least a hundred meters. Unless you have superb lightness skills and internal strength, it is impossible to leap up and down in this valley.

"Alright, alright, everyone, just stick close to me."

As Wei Ziheng spoke, he pointed in a direction.

"It's over there. This valley is overgrown with weeds, so you'll have to clear a path for yourselves."

After saying this, Lei Long's gaze swept over the people behind him: Xiao Xuan, Wang Hong, Gu Chuan Li Zi, and Mai Shuang Ji, all of whom were martial artists who used swords.

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. Then, Xiao Xuan took a half-step back, holding his sword, and coldly said:

"My Tianshan Sword is not for cutting grass."

Xiao Xuan adopted an aloof attitude, which displeased everyone, but with the treasure in front of him, no one was willing to argue with him about such a trivial matter.

Even Wang Hong merely drew his sword and cut off a few sections of withered vines in front of him, then uttered a faint, mocking remark.

"To cut the weeds is to remove them at the root, otherwise it will leave a legacy of disaster for the world."

Xiao Xuan sneered and ignored them, simply standing there waiting for the group to clear a path.

Knowing that the boss is going to optimize his job in two days, why would he rush to do dirty and tiring work? Isn't that just cowardly behavior?

If it weren't for the fact that there were still things pinned on the other party, Xiao Xuan would have quit long ago.

...

After about half an incense stick's time, with Wang Hong and his group clearing the way, the group's activity area expanded.

Just then, a loud 'bang' came from ahead, accompanied by a fleeting spark, and Wang Hong shouted.

"Why is there such a big rock here?"

"This is it!"

Wei Ziheng laughed loudly, strode forward, picked up his long staff and waved it around, smashing all the surrounding vines and weeds.

Only then did everyone realize that what stood in the middle of the valley was not a giant rock, but a statue.

A statue of a woman.
