Chapter 147 Mysterious Sect
Chapter 147 Mysterious Sect
A person in white came over from a distance and greeted the master. From the sound of her voice, it sounded like a woman.
As they approached, the three recognized her. She was the one who had kidnapped their master and his junior apprentice yesterday. They hadn't realized she was a woman. It seemed they had found the right person.
The woman in white was also startled when she saw the three of them. She looked at the master again. The master whispered a few words to her. She nodded, then said to the three of them:
"You don't have to look for them anymore. They're going to stay at the villa for a while. I'll send you out now."
"Wait a minute, my master and brother are in your hands, how can we just leave with peace of mind? At least let us meet each other, and if they are all okay, then we can make a decision." Qingsheng said angrily.
The woman looked Qingsheng up and down and remained silent for a long time. Seeing this, the master said to the woman, "Nishang, go and tell the leader and see if they need to arrange a meeting."
The woman nodded and turned away. The master told them to be patient and wait for news.
Seeing that this person was quite polite and respectful, several people also wanted to find out about the situation here. After exchanging glances, Wu Shao spoke,
"Sir, you don't look like each other, oh, you look quite gentle, could you tell me where this place is?" Young Master Wu wanted to use words like good guys and bad guys, but he was afraid of making them unhappy, so he spoke a little incoherently.
The master didn't care, and simply said, "We are just a hermit of scholars and martial artists living here, living a carefree and unpretentious life."
The three of them curled their lips when they heard this. "You've already arrested our people, and you're still living a carefree life? I don't believe you!"
Young Master Wu pretended to be respectful and said, "I see. My apologies! Then do you know why my master and fellow apprentice were brought to this treasure land?"
The master's face turned cold, and he didn't answer. The young man beside him scolded, "What are you asking about? Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"
The three of them really wanted to beat this guy up. He looked about the same age as Azan, but why was he so aggressive in his words and actions?
At this moment, there was a whoosh sound, and a ball of paper was shot from a distance, coming from the direction where the woman had just left.
The master picked up the paper ball, took out the small lotus seed from inside, and unfolded it. After a moment, his expression softened, and he smiled. "I'm sorry to bother you. Please come inside."
Without saying anything, the three followed the master inside. When Ran Mo passed by the young man, he made a face at him in revenge.
The boy was not angry, but looked at Ran Mo with a smile. Ran Mo was so scared that he quickly followed him and walked forward.
A few people walked through a transparent door in the middle of a large house, and suddenly the view in front of them opened up to a huge pond, surrounded by bamboo forests, flowers and plants. The scenery was beautiful and it was a unique world.
At that moment, someone from the pavilion across the pond waved and called out to them. The three looked over and saw it was the teacher and Ajaan. Ajaan was still jumping and waving.
The three of them were overjoyed and quickened their pace, passing the master and running forward. Seeing this, the master stopped following and let them talk on their own.
Arriving at the pavilion, Azan rushed over and hugged Ranmo, laughing and jumping. Ranmo hurriedly asked him if everything was okay. Azan nodded and said that he and his master were safe.
They looked at the instructor again. He smiled and nodded, saying that they were worried and asked them to sit down and rest first, and then he would explain in detail.
Several people sat down in the pavilion, which was built by the water and had pleasant mountain scenery, making people feel relaxed and refreshed.
The instructor first asked if Wei Hua had been rescued. Ran Mo briefly described the process to him, omitting some details that were inconvenient to mention. He then praised his two outstanding students for their wise and courageous act of saving people.
Qingsheng and Wu Shao smiled and waved their hands, saying it was nothing serious. The instructor nodded approvingly, saying that everyone's well-being was the most important thing.
The three of them also wanted to wait for the teacher to tell them where this place was and what was going on.
The instructor glanced at them and said slowly, "You can just wander around here for a while. After dinner, you can leave with Azan."
The few people looked strange after hearing this. From the instructor's tone, it seemed that he would not go back with them. Qing Sheng asked in surprise:
"What do you mean, sir? We still need you to take us back to practice martial arts."
The instructor sighed slightly and said, "Don't worry about it. I have some connections with the owner of this place. In addition to some old matters to deal with, I also need to help him develop some things.
I will return after everything is done. During this time, you can practice diligently according to the method I taught you before."
The instructor said it lightly, but several people still felt that something was wrong. Qingsheng's eyes were slightly hot and his voice trembled slightly as he said:
"We are still reluctant to leave Master. If you have any difficult questions, please tell us and we will see if we can come up with a solution together."
Wu Shao also echoed beside him. After a moment of hesitation, the teacher said with a relaxed expression:
"How come you youngsters are becoming so sophisticated? Don't you want to understand the characteristics of this place and even the situation of the host family?"
When they heard this, they immediately became interested. They had been waiting for this. The teacher smiled and said:
"This place is far from towns and villages, and its terrain is unique. A long time ago, a sect took a fancy to it and built a mountain villa here, or you could say it's a camp. Not only does it allow people to rest and recuperate, but it also allows them to practice literature, martial arts, and teach. It's a quiet place."
But they are not isolated from the world. Guided by the sect's purpose, they often pay attention to major events in the world. Whenever there is a disturbance, they will come out and help resolve it.
Several people listened with curiosity. It had a touch of hermit spirit, a touch of chivalrous chivalry, and a touch of a broad mind. They had never heard of this unique sect's martial arts before.
The teacher saw their confusion and said that this school of thought had once been quite popular and prominent in the Chinese nation. Later, dynasties changed and the world underwent drastic changes. Its views mostly advocated for the interests of the people, which was not liked by those in power. Therefore, it gradually declined and later moved to the Dayue Kingdom and found this place to settle down.
Fortunately, the customs and education in Dayue Kingdom were still open-minded, and there was not much interference or suppression of foreign academic sects and groups, so they were able to stay here for a long time.
Upon hearing this, Qingsheng shouted, "Master, you might not know this. When we first arrived, we were caught in a trap and slid down here in a large net. That artifact is truly powerful, but I also get the feeling this sect isn't so well-intentioned."
The instructor smiled and twirled his beard, saying, "I forgot to mention one thing. This sect is not only rigorous in doctrine and martial arts, but also exceptional in weapon forging.
Whether it's for siege or defense, or for daily use, there are many ingenuity and the skilled craftsmen have fully demonstrated their abilities. This is truly a magical and vast school."
Everyone nodded in admiration. Ran Mo seemed to have a vague impression of this, and after searching his mind for some historical knowledge, he was suddenly surprised and filled with awe.
Young Master Wu asked, "We were stopped twice on the road before. I wonder if both were related to his family, and what were the reasons?"
After a brief silence, the teacher replied, "That's true. But the first matter has nothing to do with us. They came here for a letter, and you don't need to know the reason. The second matter is related to me, so I won't mind talking about it."
The owner of this villa and I are old acquaintances. After hearing the first group's description of the situation, he felt that it was similar to mine, so he sent a second group to take Azan and me. The meeting turned out as expected, so he treated us politely and did not give us any trouble.
"In that case, why don't we just say goodbye to them properly and leave as soon as possible?" Qingsheng was thinking about what his master had just said about not being able to leave for the time being.
The instructor looked up at the sky and said that he had an agreement with this family a long time ago, or he owed them a favor, and now he stayed here to help them complete a task, so let's deal with it this way for now.
The few of them could not force themselves and could only follow the instructor's instructions.
