Chapter 127 Going up the mountain at midnight, something else happens in the cave.
"Grandfather, shall we go up the mountain to practice our magic in the middle of the night?"
what?
cough! cough!
This idea not only surprised everyone, but also nearly made Wen Yuanqian choke on his own words.
Wen Yuanqian was a little puzzled. Could it be that his performance had provoked his granddaughter?
That can't be. According to his observation, his granddaughter's spiritual power is even more profound and solid than hers.
How could she have had such an idea?
However, it must be said that this idea did give them another way, it's just that it's difficult to implement.
They need to walk during the day, so they can't just disappear in full view of everyone.
Therefore, the only time to work hard is at night. At night, you need to avoid being seen and heard, and only by staying away from people can you work freely.
Any exercise method requires combining theory with practice. If you only read books and don't practice, you will never learn it or make any progress.
Wen Yuanqian had reached a conclusion and made arrangements in his mind.
Of course, he didn't have a one-man rule. The Wen family was still very democratic. They discussed things together and didn't bully the weak.
Wen Yuanqian glanced at his family members present and slowly said, "It's not impossible, but..."
Wenwen knew things wouldn't go too smoothly, so she used her charm and pleading skills, "But what? If Grandfather tells me directly, I'll definitely listen."
"What might you face if you go up the mountain in the middle of the night? Have you thought about it? Do you have any plans to deal with it?"
Wenwen!
She hadn't really thought about it in detail.
However, it's not too late to think about it now.
Going up a mountain in the middle of the night, pitch black, slippery roads due to rain, what else is there? Rain protection, and the ability to run fast?
"Grandfather, this is what I think..."
Wenwen poured out her thoughts, and other family members offered many feasible suggestions.
Finally, the question arose: who would be the first to go up the mountain?
Wen Yuanqian's requirements are: "First, you must know how to shed your skin; second, you must successfully draw in your Qi; third, you must descend the mountain within one hour; fourth, you must go in batches, not in groups. Alright, let's see who goes first!"
Wenwen readily agreed, "I'll be the first to sign up!"
"I."
"And I."
Everyone present raised their hands; even the children, who didn't understand, held up their spoons and shouted.
"Grandfather, and us too, we want to sign up too..."
The scene briefly spiraled out of control, and the small house suddenly became lively.
Grandmother had to step in and take control of the situation. "Alright, let's eat first. We'll decide after we finish eating. If you don't want to waste time, hurry up and eat."
These words worked. In an instant, everyone fell silent and buried their heads in their food, as if whoever finished eating first would be qualified to go up the mountain.
After the meal, they engaged in a round of criticism, revealing each other's secrets and arguing back and forth.
Finally, they won by the first point.
Wenwen decided to set off with the "rake-catching team".
Wearing specially made raincoats and reinforced straw sandals, the group slipped away through the back door of the house.
The rain was still falling outside, and the mountain road was not only steep but also full of loose stones.
Fortunately, their campsite was halfway up the mountain, and it took them some time to walk sideways to the other side of the mountain.
"Oh my, it's really strange that it hasn't rained on this side of the mountain."
"What's so strange about that? It's not in the Dark Cloud area."
"Hey, do you think this is just a lucky break?"
Wenwen loved to tease Wen Chengbin, "Second Brother, are you a cat or a mouse?"
"Huh? I'm nothing!"
"Haha, I agree with that!"
The group laughed and lit torches, then used their martial arts skills to run towards the mountaintop.
It has to be said that they were really lucky. At first, they just thought that they would go to the other side of the mountain and light torches so that they wouldn't attract attention. Unexpectedly, it was not raining on the other side of the mountain, and the mountain road was very flat, which was more suitable for practicing martial arts.
Soon, the group reached the summit, which was even more breathtaking, practically a hair's breadth away from the top.
With the large tree on the mountaintop as the dividing line, it was drizzling on the left and the ground was dry on the right.
This made things much more convenient for them.
The group raced against time, finding good spots to sit and meditate, trying to absorb as much spiritual energy as possible.
Once they felt they had stored up some spiritual energy, they each began practicing their spells.
After exhausting his energy, he resumed meditation to recover.
Wenwen naturally specializes in fireball, while the others are still exploring and their skills are unknown.
This continued for a while, and then a series of explosions rang out from the mountaintop.
However, at such a great distance, the sound diffuses and becomes very faint by the time it reaches the mountainside.
Time always flies when you're practicing.
"Well, it's time. Let's go down the mountain so your grandfather won't worry."
Wen Qikang informed everyone right on time.
The group quickly returned the way they came, and they had just turned back to the mountainside when...
Suddenly, a pile of torches held up at the entrance of the cave caught their attention.
"Look, what's going on over there? What are all those people doing gathered around the cave entrance?"
"I can't see clearly, but it sounds like... I think I'm hearing some crying?"
"Oh no, we have to get back quickly, hurry!"
The group exerted all their strength and gathered their spiritual power, accelerating and accelerating again. Before their family could react, they flashed into the house like a gust of wind.
"Hey, who is it?"
"Wow, you guys... gave me a fright."
Wen Yuanqian was playing with several children in the corner of the house, having a great time, when suddenly a gust of wind blew his splashes away, turning them into a shower of flowers that scattered all over the ground.
"Are you being chased by a dog? Why are you doing this so fast?"
"Huh...huh...huh..."
"Catch your breath before we talk."
"Grandfather, I suspect there's something going on at the cave."
"When we came back, we saw many soldiers with torches lit at the entrance of the cave, and we could hear crying."
"I reckon someone will be here soon."
"Oh dear, there are so many things happening every day, I can't have a single day of peace."
"Alas, natural disasters and man-made calamities. In the face of natural disasters, whose fate is determined by God."
The family sighed a few times while quickly tidying up.
Clearly, Wenwen put away anything that shouldn't be there.
Half a cup of tea's time has passed.
The footsteps outside the door grew closer.
Before the bailiffs could even call out, Wen Yuanqian opened the door and waited.
The tall, thin constable was still dressed the same way, with a strip of cloth covering his nostrils, a straw hat on his head, and a raincoat draped over his shoulders, standing a few steps away.
"Master Wen, the children and adults over in the cave have all contracted dysentery. Lord Zhu has ordered that we take stock of the situation in each household and collect medicine pills and herbs from each household to treat dysentery."
After the tall, thin man finished speaking, he seemed a little embarrassed for a moment.
In his view, the Wen family had given him all their help last time, so asking for help again this time was a bit unreasonable.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, Grandmother Wen came out of the house carrying a bundle.
"Sir, these are all the pills and herbs my family has. Please take them and use them."
Well, this is something that the tall and thin man couldn't have imagined. Although he had expectations before coming, he was stunned for a moment when his expectations came true.
Taking advantage of the moment when the tall, thin man was lost in thought, Wen Yuanqian suddenly asked, "Sir, is there any new situation at the cave?"
