Chapter 124 Forbidden Cave

Chapter 124 Forbidden Cave
The room was pitch black. Not only was there no fire, there wasn't even a single sound.

Chu Qing's heart sank, and he suddenly pushed open the door, only to find that the room was empty.

I lifted the quilt on the bed, reached out and touched the bed, but the warmth was gone.

When I turned my eyes, I saw a note on the table.

Chu Qing reached out and took it. There were four words written on it: Wen Family Forbidden Land!

"Somebody come!"

Immediately, a disciple pushed the door open and walked in, clasping his hands together:
"I've met the Third Young Master."

"Have you seen anyone coming in or out here?"

"Never..."

The two disciples looked at each other, both with panicked expressions on their faces.

Although I don’t know what happened exactly, I can tell from Chu Qing’s expression that something big might have happened.

However, they had been guarding the room and had indeed not seen anyone enter or leave.

The last time someone left the room, Chu Qing was the only one.

Chu Qing exhaled lightly...

The person who came was able to enter the room without anyone noticing and easily kidnap two people.

The disciples of Luochen Villa who were guarding the place haven't discovered anything yet.

Who is this person?

Having come to this point, Chu Qing no longer dared to think about anything else. He walked out of the door in a flash and headed straight for the forbidden area in the back mountain without any hesitation.

The forbidden area of ​​Luochen Villa is called a forbidden area, but in fact there is nothing secretive.

Originally, this place was where Wen Tianheng, the ancestor of the Wen family, learned martial arts. It is said that the ancestor lived here for seven years.

He comprehended the Luochen Villa's unique skills, the [Nine-Sky Star Finger], and the [Yantian Star Controlling Skill].

That’s how Luochen Villa was founded.

Afterwards, this place became the place where successive owners of Luochen Villa practiced seclusion and meditation.

Even the thatched hut where Wen Tianheng lived at the time has been renovated several times to keep its original appearance as much as possible.

Chu Qing performed the Star-Chasing and Moon-Catching Steps all the way, and his figure seemed to shrink into an inch. In just a moment, he had arrived outside the gate of the forbidden area.

Two figures came from afar:

"May I ask if this is the Third Young Master?"

"Has anyone entered the forbidden area?"

Chu Qing didn't have time to be polite with them.

The two disciples looked at each other:
"no!"

Their answers were so decisive that Chu Qing was not sure whether what was written on the note was true or false:
"I want to go in."

No matter what, I have to go in and take a look first.

The two disciples immediately stepped aside:

"We are not allowed to set foot in the forbidden area, so please do as you please, Third Young Master."

Chu Qing flashed past the two people and walked a short distance up before arriving at the forbidden area.

This is a stunning view of Tianxing Mountain.

It was as if an arc was split in the mountain, and the mountain wall was concave, forming a huge space. There was still a mountain above the head, and a platform of open space under the feet.

There is a mirror-like pond in the whole area, and next to the pond, built against the mountain wall, is a thatched house.

It was obviously the room where Wen Tianheng lived back then.

When you reach the edge, looking down you will see a cliff thousands of feet high, but looking out you can see the starry sky.

This place is not big, and Chu Qing can see it all at a glance.

So he immediately saw the gentleness.

She was standing on the edge of a cliff. The wind was strong there, causing her body to sway. It seemed that if she wasn't careful, she would be blown off the cliff by the wind.

Chu Qing looked around and didn't see anyone else. He slowly walked up to Wenrou and pulled her back from the edge of the cliff.

The gentle face still had that calm expression, and her eyes turned slightly to look at Chu Qing.

But there were no words.

There was no movement in the figure...

"Being acupunctured?"

Chu Qing asked, her eyes moved gently, and then she blinked hard.

In terms of her ability to express emotions, this is already beyond her level.

Chu Qing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and reached out and tapped her shoulder.

But it's of no use.

Chu Qing took Wenrou's wrist and checked it, and found that the person who pressed Wenrou's acupoints had extremely delicate techniques.

Moreover, this person's skills are extremely pure, which can be said to be the only one Chu Qing has seen in his life since he entered the martial arts world.

After letting out a light breath, Chu Qing simply turned Wenrou around so that her back was facing him.

He raised the inner strength of the Mingyu Sutra with one hand and slowly pressed it on her gentle back.

The internal breath entering the body is not icy cold, but only a slight sense of coolness flowing through the whole body, constantly dissipating the force attached to the acupoints.

After a moment, Wenrou's body shook and she was freed.

"Third brother... Miss Tie is at the bottom of the cliff."

The first sentence Wenrou said made Chu Qing stunned:
"What?"

Seeing that Wenrou was indeed fine, Chu Qing came to the cliff and bent down to look down.

It was already late at night, and among the shadows, it seemed that a figure could be seen, but he was not quite sure.

A gentle voice came from my ear:

"I was chatting with Miss Tie at the time. She told me about the Iron Blood Hall, and I told her about my experience with the Taiyi Sect..."

Chu Qing was speechless. You two were chatting together?

And is that the point?
“That person came without any warning, and it was Miss Tie who first noticed something was wrong, but when I turned around, it was too late.

"He pinpointed the acupuncture points all over my body, and then the man carried me to Miss Tie and arrested her as well.

“Then he led us out of the room and ran all the way here.

“He placed me on the edge of a cliff, and then flew down the cliff with Miss Tie.

"When he came up, he told me, 'The person is just below the cliff. The mountain wind is too strong. If I delay for too long, I'm afraid my life will be in danger.'

“The man sounded quite old and was dressed like a beggar.

"But there is no blood corner between his eyebrows, so he is definitely not the Crazy Beggar Ling Beichen."

Wenrou recounted the incident as roughly as possible and described the man's physical features.

"beggar……"

Chu Qing immediately thought of the beggar he saw this afternoon.

But there are many beggars in the world. Who dares to say that the one I saw today is the same beggar who abducted Wenrou Tie Chuqing?
"Go find Si Ye and bring a few Star Guards with you."

The situation below is unclear, and Chu Qing does not intend to take risks rashly.

Especially since this beggar has a strange origin and extraordinary abilities. If he is surrounded by people now and I rush down to rescue him, there is no telling whether he will take the opportunity to attack me.

As a killer, never put yourself in a passive situation.

As for Tie Chuqing...

Although she was a rare commodity and her life would be very useful, Chu Qing was not prepared to take such a risk for her. Of course, the person still had to be saved.

No matter what, this person is the eldest daughter of the Iron Blood Hall.

Life is very precious...If she dies in Luochen Villa, there will be a war between Tiexuetang and Luochen Villa.

Naturally, this battle should be avoided if possible.

When troubles arise in the underworld, ordinary people always suffer.

Si Ye arrived very quickly. In just a cup of tea, he and Wen Rou appeared in the forbidden area with a few people.

Although this place is normally off-limits, Chu Qing has been entrusted with an important task by Wen Fusheng, and Wen Rou is the eldest daughter of Luochen Villa. The orders of these two people are enough to break many rules.

Seeing Chu Qing, Si Ye bowed:
"I've met the Third Young Master."

If there was still any resentment before, it was completely dissipated after Chu Qing killed the Jade Dragon Immortal.

Chu Qing stood on the edge of the cliff, pointed down and said:

"You want someone to bring a rope and explore down from this position to see what's going on down there?"

Upon hearing this, Si Ye did not ask any further questions and directly asked someone to get a rope.

A moment later, a Star Guard went down along the rope. After a while, the rope suddenly loosened, and the Star Guard's voice came from below:

"Sir, there is a girl here!"

"Are you still alive?"

Chu Qing stood by and asked.

"Alive."

"Get her up here."

The Star Guards followed orders and tied up Tie Chuqing with ropes. The Star Guards above pulled the ropes, and after a moment, Tie Chuqing was pulled up.

But at this time she remained sitting cross-legged with a stiff body, and it was obvious that she had been acupunctured.

There was only a pair of eyes staring at Chu Qing hatefully.

Chu Qing looked at her twice, then came to her back and pressed down with his palm. A strange cold internal force entered her body. After a moment, Tie Chuqing shivered:
"You're going to freeze me to death!"

"Isn't this still alive?"

Chu Qing smiled:
"How does it feel?"

Tie Chuqing gritted his teeth and said:

"I can't die yet!!"

"As long as you can't die."

Chu Qing nodded and asked her to move aside. The Xingchen Guard who went down to rescue people was also dragged up.

"Reporting to you, sir, there is a platform about fifteen or sixteen feet down."

The Star Guard reported to Chu Qing:
“The platform is about three feet long and wide, and there is a cave on the other side of the platform.

"I was in a hurry just now and didn't have time to investigate the situation in the cave."

There is a cave?
Chu Qing glanced at Wenrou:
"Do you know what this cave is about?"

Wenrou shook her head: "Not sure."

Chu Qing looked at Si Ye again and saw that he was also confused.

The eldest lady of Luochen Villa and the leader of the Star Guard didn't even know that there was a cave hidden under the rock wall of the forbidden area?
What was the old beggar's intention in bringing me here?
I'm afraid there is something else mysterious in this cave.

He hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Send a few people down to explore the cave and report back anytime."

Now that he has Luochen Villa behind him, Chu Qing doesn't need to do many things himself.

Since there is a cave with unknown conditions to investigate, it is natural that the Star Guards will take the lead.

Si Ye nodded, and then ordered people to make some preparations.

After taking torches, tinders and preparing a few ropes, the three Star Guards climbed down the cliff.

Tie Chuqing silently took in this scene and couldn't help asking:
"What is your identity in Luochen Villa?
"All of them actually obey you?
"Are you Wen Fusheng's illegitimate son? No wonder Miss Wen calls you Third Brother."

Wenrou didn't react much after hearing this. Si Ye was furious, but he didn't show his anger on his face. He just spoke in a low voice:
"Miss Tie, please be careful with your words and actions."

"How come I... huh? How do you know my identity?"

Tie Chuqing was surprised.

"Si Ye is the leader of the Star Guards. Is it strange for him to know your identity as the eldest daughter of the Iron Blood Hall?"

After all, according to Wen Fusheng, there is no telling how many people from Luochen Villa there are in Tiexuetang.

I'm afraid they know all the leaders and important figures of the Tiexuetang clearly.

Especially Cheng Tieshan's side is the hardest hit area... The accountants are all other people's people, and he doesn't even know that they are stealing his money every day.

Tie Chuqing looked at Si Ye again and felt a little apprehensive. She gently tugged at Chu Qing's sleeve:
"Let me tell you, none of the people in Luochen Villa are good people."

Chu Qing smiled:
“Miss Tie, do you mean to lure me into the Tiexue Hall?
“But you’ve also seen that in Yu Luochen Villa, I’m second to none and above everyone else… With just one word from me, they’ll rush forward one after another, even Miss Wen listens to me.

"Could it be that the Iron Blood Hall can also do this?"

"..."

Tie Chuqing was speechless for a moment, her initial thoughts were very simple.

She just didn't want Luochen Villa to have another master. As for whether Tie Lingyun would trust Chu Qing and entrust him with important tasks after he was brought to Tiexuetang, she couldn't guarantee it.

Not to mention, he could command the support of hundreds of people just like he is doing now in Luochen Villa...

But she was stubborn by nature and unwilling to admit defeat. She snorted when she heard this:
"What's the big deal? As long as you don't join Luochen Villa, I can promise you that you can also have the same influence in Tiexue Hall. At worst, I can just go and beg Daddy."

When Si Ye listened, veins on his forehead popped out and he couldn't help but wink at Wenrou repeatedly.

This is an open and aboveboard way of stealing someone's girlfriend, young lady, why don't you show some reaction?
Wenrou didn't respond... She looked at her nose with her eyes, her mouth with her nose, and her heart with her mouth, like an old monk in meditation. She could hear some snoring, probably because she had fallen asleep.

"..."

Si Ye reached out and rubbed his forehead. Why wasn't this young lady nervous at all?
Chu Qing glanced at Tie Chuqing with a half-smile:
"Miss Tie is so sincere. If I don't agree, it seems like I really don't know how to appreciate it."

"You agreed?"

Tie Chuqing's eyes lit up.

"accepted."

Chu Qing nodded and said:
"When this matter is over, Miss Tie will leave a written agreement. When I go to Tiexuetang in the future, I will ask Miss Tie to promise this. How about that?"

Tie Chuqing's eyes lit up:
"You really won't join Luochen Villa?"

Chu Qing smiled and waved his hand:

“I am a man who keeps his promises, but Miss Tie, it’s better not to ask me about the specifics of how I act.

"After all, I'm just giving you a chance now."

“…It’s nothing special.”

Tie Chuqing snorted:
"Okay, I promise you, I'll leave you a written receipt later so that you won't accuse me of empty talk.

"But... remember, the prerequisite is that you cannot join Luochen Villa! Otherwise, there is no point in discussing this!!"

"Okay, it's a deal."

Chu Qing sighed in her heart, she is indeed an idiot young lady.

Si Ye looked at Chu Qing with a strange look in his eyes.

At first I thought it was outrageous that Tie Chuqing was poaching people right in front of me.

But after listening carefully to their conversation, I found out that the only clause in Chu Qing and Tie Chuqing's agreement was not to join Luochen Villa.

And when did the Third Young Master join Luochen Villa?
He was just helping the young lady.

Besides...the promise did not require the Third Young Master to join the Iron Blood Hall.

Is this third young master trying to get something for nothing and bully the little fool?
