Chapter 701
Chapter 701
Under the expectation of the Misty Hall's disciples, the first to arrive wasn't a carriage from the Misty Hall, nor was it the Wuming Hall's senior disciple who was guarding outside the Youlan Grand Canyon. Instead, it was Senior Quan who was escorting Zhang Xiaohua back to the Tuo Dan Hall.
Senior Brother Quan's face was a little gloomy and he looked rather unhappy. Thinking about it, he had first made a trip to the White Mountain Peak and then immediately rushed to the convoy escorting the inner disciples of the Lingering Fragrance Peak. However, when they arrived at the foot of the Lingering Fragrance Peak, they were still not allowed to go forward and were sent to the Shixin Peak. No one would be happy.
Behind Senior Brother Quan was another disciple with an honest face. Behind him were several carriages. There were more than ten disciples escorting the group, all of whom were looking after the injured female disciple. There were only two disciples, and one disciple who was driving the carriages. There were three disciples escorting Zhang Xiaohu's group and the four carriages.
Behind the Wuming Hall's disciple was the burly Zhang Xiaohu. He sat in the front carriage and pretended to wave the whip. His carriage was in the Wuming Hall's encampment and the horses were specially used to pull the carriage. Even if he didn't use the whip, the horses would still be very obedient.
From afar, he saw the Misty Hall's disciples standing at the entrance of the mountain. The three Hall Masters of the Misty Hall were standing in the middle. Zhang Xiaohu didn't dare to sit in the carriage anymore and quickly jumped down. He pulled the reins of the horse and walked up the Shixin Peak step by step.
When Changge and Chen Chen saw Zhang Xiaohu get down from the carriage, they also jumped down and followed behind him.
Yang Ruping saw this and was happy. She waved her hand and said, "Why aren't you hurrying to catch them?"
As soon as her voice fell, the disciples who were waiting at the side rushed forward and said, "Senior Zhang, Senior Changge, Senior Chen Chen" and helped to catch the carriage.
Yang Ruping walked up to Senior Quan and the others. Senior Quan didn't wait for her to come closer and quickly got down from the horse and saluted, "Greetings, Hall Master Yang."
Yang Ruping smiled and said, "Martial Nephew has worked hard. Please come in and have some tea."
Senior Brother Quan said, "There are some things that I need to tell Hall Master Yang, so I won't be nagging you."
After greeting Vice Hall Master Zhong and Auntie Qin, he followed Yang Ruping inside.
Aunt Qin looked at Changge who was surrounded by the female disciples. Although her arms were fixed, she looked very energetic and her complexion was good. Needless to say, Chen Chen was no different from before they set off. Only then did she feel relieved and follow the crowd into the inner courtyard.
In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Senior Quan had already recounted what happened outside the Youlan Grand Canyon, as well as the matter of the escort. Soon after, he came out and bid farewell.
Yang Ruping looked at the disciples who were asking questions with a smile and shouted, "Zhang Xiaohu, Changge, Chen Chen, come here."
When Zhang Xiaohu and the others heard this, they quickly came over and bowed, "Greetings, Hall Master Yang. Disciple Zhang Xiaohu fortunately didn't disappoint and brought back four carriages of Spirit Grass. But …"
Yang Ruping waved her hand and said, "Your Senior Zhao has already told you about the other matters, so there is no need to say more. I thought that he was the only one who escaped with his life. I didn't expect that the three of you also came back. Moreover, you brought back four carriages of Spirit Grass. Your contribution is not small!"
Changge and the others quickly bowed and said, "Hall Master Yang is overpraising us. These are the hard work of our fellow disciples. We only brought them out of the Youlan Grand Canyon."
Then he said, "However, due to the limited manpower of this disciple, even with the help of a Pill Repository Hall disciple, we could only rush back four carriages. Therefore, we chose some of the most precious spiritual herbs. Hall Master, please check."
Yang Ruping nodded and said, "You can be considered smart. You actually thought of using elk to pull the carriages. I really can't forget you." Then, she waved her hand and said, "Pharmacy Hall disciples, come forward to check and register."
When some of the disciples heard this, they immediately responded and quickly got on the carriages and unloaded the jade boxes. Some disciples went back to their rooms and took out pen, ink and paper to register.
On the side, Zhao Jian's face was constantly changing. He didn't know whether he should go forward or not. When he heard Yang Ruping say that Zhang Xiaohu and the others used elk to pull the carriages, he couldn't help but ponder. Then, a smile appeared on his face. When he saw that the Pharmacy Hall disciples were busy, he immediately stepped out and walked to Zhang Xiaohu with a smile. He cupped his hands and said, "Junior Brother Zhang, I really didn't expect that you could escape safely from the Blood Wolves. You are really lucky. At that time, I was chased by the Blood Wolves and thought that you … Ai, I am really not competent as a Senior Brother."
Zhang Xiaohu also smiled and said, "What is Senior Brother Zhao talking about? This has nothing to do with being competent or not. At that time, the situation was so urgent. It was already good that I could take care of my own life."
Hearing this, Zhao Jian's face relaxed even more. He still held Zhang Xiaohu's hand and sighed for a long time.
On the side, Changge and Chen Chen had already run to Aunt Qin's side. One on each side, they whispered something in her ear. Aunt Qin was also happy and held their hands, unwilling to let go. Changge was able to accompany Aunt Qin to escort Ou Yannan to Rejuvenation Valley. She was originally an elite disciple of Mingcui Hall. Now that she had come back from the dead and Mingcui Hall's talents had withered, Aunt Qin valued her even more.
At this time, a burst of exclamations came from the disciples and attracted the attention of Yang Ruping and the others. They walked over and saw that the four carriages that Zhang Xiaohu brought back were filled with extremely rare Spirit Herbs. Even the slightly ordinary ones were very old. This made the disciples of the Misty Hall, who had not seen much of the 'world', very surprised. Every time a jade box was opened, there would be a disciple who knew the name of the herb and its age, causing a burst of exclamations …
This Shixin Peak, which had been deserted for a long time, was now so lively.
Yang Ruping and the other two Hall Masters smiled as they watched the disciples bustle about and exclaim in surprise. They did not stop them. To be honest, the amount of Spiritual Herbs in the four carriages was beyond their expectations. Even if all the disciples returned safely, they did not expect to gather so many Spiritual Herbs. Therefore, smiles hung on the faces of the three of them.
Unlike all the other disciples of the Misty Palace, Senior Brother Zhao Jian's expression was extremely discordant. He clenched his teeth so hard that they almost broke. His fists in his sleeves were clenched tightly. Where did these Spiritual Herbs come from?
Wasn't it under his wise leadership that the disciples picked them?
This great honor originally belonged to him and only he was worthy to stand in front of the disciples and enjoy the longing, amazement, and even adoration gazes.
However, now all of this belonged to the 'direct disciple' that he had always disdained and relied on nepotism to climb up to Ou Peng's thigh.
Zhao Jian's face was somewhat ferocious as he suppressed this voice in his heart. "This … all belongs to me!"
Zhao Jian glanced at Changge, who was hugging Aunt Qin's arm, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. At this time, Zhang Xiaohu suddenly turned around and asked in surprise, "Eh?
Senior Brother Zhao, why is your face so ugly?
Are your injuries not healed yet?
If you can't hold on, then rest early. There are many Junior Brothers here to help, so you don't have to worry too much, right? "
Zhao Jian gritted his teeth and said, "Junior Brother Zhang is indeed attentive. No wonder you were able to escape from the Youlan Grand Canyon filled with beasts. My arm is hurting again."
Vice Hall Master Zhong, who was watching from the front, heard this and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, Zhao Jian should go back and rest. We are all here, so you don't have to watch."
Zhao Jian glanced at Zhang Xiaohu and seemed to be worried. He forced a smile and said, "Junior Brother Zhang has worked hard all the way and hasn't said anything about resting. How can I, as your Senior Brother, take the first step?
Moreover, Junior Sister Changge is also injured, so shouldn't she rest? "
Yang Ruping was in a good mood. She turned around and said, "Alright, the four of you are injured. Go back and rest. Tell us about the matters in the Youlan Grand Canyon in detail tomorrow."
Then, she looked at the pine trees in the distance and said in a low voice, "Zhang Xiaohu, go and see your Master. When he heard that you were buried in the Youlan Grand Canyon, although he didn't say anything, his expression wasn't right. It was as if he had lost his backbone.
We also just heard about your return and didn't have time to tell him. "
Zhang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Thank you, Hall Master, for taking care of my Master. This disciple will go and see Master."
After he finished speaking, he bowed to the disciples and walked towards a secluded place in the distance.
After Zhang Xiaohu walked far away, Changge and Chen Chen also left under the urging of Aunt Qin. Zhao Jian let out a sigh of relief in his heart. He looked at the excited disciples and thought for a moment before he got up and left.
After he walked far away, Vice Hall Master Xu nonchalantly raised his head and looked at his back. Then, he turned around and looked at him.
In the square in front of the Misty Hall, there was a small door in the corner. It was very inconspicuous. Zhang Xiaohua walked to the door and pushed it open. In front of her was a small courtyard with some herbs. The courtyard wasn't big and there weren't any houses. There was only a corridor beside the wall that led inside. Zhang Xiaohua seemed to be very familiar with it. She didn't even look inside the courtyard and directly walked into the corridor.
At the end of the corridor was a pond and there were several small bridges. After crossing the small bridges, there was a row of pine trees. Under the green pine trees, there were several rows of exquisite small courtyards.
Zhang Xiaohu walked to the front of a small courtyard in the middle of the front row. He stood quietly for a moment and calmed himself down. He raised his hand and gently knocked on the courtyard door.
After knocking a few times, he heard a voice from inside. "Who is it?
What's the matter in the hall?
Come in and talk. "
Zhang Xiaohu smiled and pushed the door open. He stepped into the courtyard with light steps and reached the center of the courtyard in a few steps.
There was a flat field in the courtyard. Now, a middle-aged man was holding a hoe. He was bending over and hoeing the field bit by bit. From the side, this person's back was a little bent and there was no sweat on his forehead. The hand holding the hoe was also abnormally steady. Although his steps were heavy, no different from an ordinary person's, his movements were methodical. Although he was hoeing the field, it gave people the feeling that he was practicing martial arts!
