Seven Strings in Dreams

Chapter 178 Finally Going Down the Mountain

His injury seemed to have become more serious. Although it didn't seem to hurt as much, he just couldn't feel his face. Not only was it swollen like a pig's head, but it was also covered in bruises. He couldn't see anyone.

Originally, the Zhuji Guardian should have been partially responsible for this matter. After all, the incident happened on the Zhuji Guardian's territory. And from the Guardian Congheng's point of view, the cause was also because these two women were interested in the Zhuji Guardian.

Dharma Protector Cong Heng originally wanted to threaten Meng Xianyu, or at least scare her. After all, he couldn't do anything to Dharma Protector Zhuji. So many people were waiting for Dharma Protector Zhuji to treat them! At this time, Dharma Protector Cong Heng would not cause trouble because of his personal feelings. He also knew that the overall situation was important, so he wanted to warn Meng Xianyu.

Meng Xianyu was just an outsider with unknown origins. No matter what, she could not be compared with the Amber Guardian.

Dharma Protector Cong Heng knew that Dharma Protector Amber had a bit of a temper. In his opinion, that was not a flaw. It was Meng Xianyu who instigated the matter and made it so big.

He was determined to teach Meng Xianyu a lesson, but Guardian Yufan jumped out to stop him. Guardian Congheng took out his anger on Guardian Yufan.

The two of them did not use spiritual power, but relied on brute force to fight. The guardian Yufan was definitely no match for the guardian Congheng. The guardian Yufan knew it a long time ago. But he had to protect Meng Xianyu, so he had to bite the bullet and take the beating.

When the guardian Cong Heng saw that he did not fight back, he calmed down and just hit him in the face, leaving him with a black eye and a swollen face.

Dharma protector Cong Heng was not an unreasonable person. He had beaten the man and his anger had almost subsided. He would not bother Meng Xianyu anymore.

Yufan was not a fool. He was willing to go this far, even he himself did not expect it. When he went to find the Zhuji guardian with a bruised face, the Zhuji guardian almost did not recognize him.

Guardian Yufan rarely asked for help, and this time he broke the barrier between him and Guardian Zhuji. The relationship between the two suddenly became better.

The guardian Zhuji could laugh at him loudly and wantonly, and the guardian Yufan could also show his fragile and ugly side.

Although the two of them have been brothers for many years, they have never been so open-hearted as they are today.

The guardian Zhuji either spends the whole day refining medicine or going up the mountain to collect herbs.

The guardian Yufan only gathers with everyone when there is something going on. On weekdays, no one knows what he does.

Yufan, the guardian, is very good at Qinggong, low-key, and secretive. He has always had a low sense of presence. Such people rarely show their weaknesses.

Both of them have somewhat strange personalities. Zhuji likes to immerse himself in the things he likes and often ignores the existence of other people.

Protector Yufan is the one who doesn't want anyone to pay attention to him.

The two of them had been brothers for many years, and although they had experienced life and death, they had all experienced it together.

But now, there is a secret between them, and it seems that the relationship between the brothers has become closer.

Dharma Protector Zhuji applied medicine to Dharma Protector Yufan, but did not ask him to leave.

The guardian Yufan didn't want to be alone today. He was a little afraid that Meng Xianyu would find him if she heard about this. Even if Meng Xianyu didn't find him, someone else would. He didn't want to explain anything, he just wanted to find a quiet place to stay.

Zhuji is a good place. The Amber Guardian, who likes to come here the most, is in a coma. Others are busy, and even if they are not busy, they dare not barge in easily.

Dharma Protector Yufan stayed shamelessly, while Dharma Protector Zhuji said nothing.

Zhuji Guardian has a big event tonight. He wants to wait for the venomous snake to take the bait. Although it is a deal, he is not sure.

The guardian Yufan would not disturb him, but could also give him courage. This was just right.

Dharma Protector Zhuji was busy in the alchemy room, while Dharma Protector Yufan was sitting in the corner drinking. The two of them tacitly agreed not to interfere with each other.

What happened next shocked Guardian Yufan. He didn't know if Guardian Zhuji was always so dangerous. But this made him want to protect Guardian Zhuji.

Over the years, whenever they got sick or injured, they would go to the Dharma Protector Zhuji to get medicine. They had never imagined the hardships that the Dharma Protector Zhuji would go through in refining and obtaining medicine.

This time, Guardian Yufan witnessed a scene that was unbelievable to him.

Everything that happened tonight became a secret between the two brothers.

On the second day, the guardian Yufan left the villa with his face covered and his whereabouts were unknown.

Zhuji Dharma Protector remained in seclusion for seven days before coming out again. When he came out, Meng Xianyu, Wu Na and the others had already left the villa.

As soon as Protector Zhuji came out of confinement, he saw his subordinates waiting for him outside.

His subordinates reported to him what had happened in recent days.

Zhuji: "Now that they've all left, it suddenly feels a lot quieter"

Subordinates: "Third Dharma Protector, the Left Dharma Protector has to listen to the Right Dharma Protector and you in everything. I learned that you will come out of retreat today. The Right Dharma Protector has been in retreat since early in the morning. He said that he was healing the wounds of the Amber Dharma Protector. From now on, you will be in charge of everything."

Zhuji: "Nonsense! What are these two brothers doing? Where are the others?"

Subordinates: "The Shanhu Guardians and Yufan Guardians left one after another. The Zuo Guardian went after them. Now only you and the Fourth and Sixth Guardians are still in the villa."

Zhuji: "Where are the fourth and sixth brothers?"

Subordinates: "The Sixth Guardian has gone to the back mountain. All training has been resumed recently. The Fourth Guardian went to escort the village chief Muren back. He just left and should have reached the foot of the mountain now."

Zhuji: "I understand, please leave first!"

Zhuji Protector received a lot of information from his subordinates. His head was full of confusion. He hated these mundane matters the most!

Senior Brother Cong Heng set a trick on him, and it was obvious that he was deliberately trying to trip him up because he did not save Second Senior Sister.

Senior Brother Cong Heng held the Amber Guardian in his hands and took good care of her. It was a pity that his love was unrequited.

Logically speaking, as the eldest senior brother and the right protector, Cong Heng should indeed shoulder the corresponding responsibilities. But everyone knows that their eldest senior brother really does not have this ability.

During these few days, they tried their best to avoid unnecessary trouble.

For things like escorting Muren back to the small fishing village, they were all vying to do it. There was no need for Senior Brother Congheng to make the decision.

The two guardians, the fourth and sixth, took on all the responsibilities. They finally waited for the day when Zhuji would come out of seclusion.

Although Zhuji Protector didn't care about these trivial matters, it wasn't that he didn't have the ability to do so. He just simply didn't like it.

Zhuji Dharma Protector first went to see how the high priest who was in seclusion was recovering. Then he went to see the injuries of Liya and the others. After that, he went to see Wulan and Yixi, the mother and son, who were still in the villa. Finally, he had time to pay attention to the injured brothers.

After this big circle, it was dark.

The villa gradually returned to its former tranquility, as if nothing had happened.

Meng Xianyu and the others didn't know what happened next. The most important thing for them now was to get to the academy as soon as possible. Once they got to the academy, they would have a new layer of protection.

Only if Meng Xianyu successfully enters the academy can they stop fleeing.

Meng Xianyu and Wu Na changed into low-key old clothes. They followed the oxcart into the city and had a smooth journey.

In contrast, those women who intentionally pretended to be them did not have such an easy time.

But those people had already gotten what they wanted. It was their duty to attract the attention of the people in the Holy Mountain for Meng Xianyu and the others. As for whether they could survive, it all depended on their own abilities.

Meng Xianyu and the others did not choose the shortest route. They took a detour on purpose. Someone would pick them up after they entered the city. Linlang the guardian had already made arrangements. There were also people protecting them in secret. But those people were far away. If they were too close, it would arouse suspicion.

Meng Xianyu was not that nervous during the trip. After all, the people from the Holy Mountain were not targeting her. It would be useless to capture her. She only had to protect Wu Na.

Wu Na has always been low-key, just a bit shy of being approached by strangers.

Meng Xianyu simply let Wu Na play the role of a mute. To avoid making more mistakes by talking too much. Wu Na's voice is very distinctive, so in order to avoid being discovered by those people from the Holy Mountain, it is better to say less.

Wu Na was not a talkative person to begin with, so keeping quiet just suited her needs.

Before leaving, they wanted to pretend to be little sisters going to the city to sell fish.

At the reminder of Guardian Linlang, the two of them changed their identities.

Although there are several fishing villages at the foot of the mountain, there are still many villagers selling fish. If you ask them where they are from, they won't be able to answer.

Wu Na seldom went home. Her family members kept their distance from her, not to mention the villagers. It was lucky that there were a few who dared to greet her. Many people would avoid her when they saw her.

Although the saint's status is special and she is very popular among the tribe, Wu Na is just one of many candidates. Moreover, Wu Lan has a bad relationship with the villagers. They don't want Wu Na to be good.

If it weren’t for Mu Ren’s status as the village head, those people would have isolated his family long ago.

There are only a few sensible families in the village. The rest are just bullying. The seemingly peaceful and tranquil fishing village is actually just a superficial harmony.

The same is true in other surrounding villages.

Whatever happens in every household will spread quickly.

Wu Na didn't know the nearby villagers, and Meng Xianyu knew even less. Those people kept their distance from Wu Na and hated her to the extreme.

Dharma protector Linlang suggested that they dress up as girls from the mountains.

The Holy Spirit Island is surrounded by mountains, and there are many mysterious and strange tribes hidden in the mountains.

Those tribes don't have as many people as the Manta Tribe, but they are just as capable. Many of them stay indoors because of their ancestral teachings.

If they really want to come out and try their luck, the Manedrill Tribe might have to restrain itself.
