Chapter 133: Cultivation Technique? !
Zhuge Qing shook his head slightly, looked into the distance, and said, "Brother Qiankun, the road ahead is becoming increasingly unclear to me. Do you think we can truly find that legendary place?"
Li Qiankun sighed, paused, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. Although he was exhausted, his eyes still shone with determination. "Brother Zhuge, now that you and I have come this far, how can we give up so easily? The road ahead, no matter how difficult it is, we must continue to move forward step by step."
At this moment, a landscape of green mountains and clear water suddenly appeared ahead, with a few farmhouses dotted among them, creating a peaceful and tranquil scene. This sudden appearance of a village surprised both of them.
"Look, Brother Zhuge, there is a village ahead!" Li Qiankun pointed ahead with a hint of excitement in his voice.
Zhuge Qing looked in the direction Li Qiankun pointed, a relieved smile on his face. "Looks like we'll have a place to stay tonight. Let's go, Brother Qiankun, let's hurry up."
The two quickened their pace and soon arrived at the village entrance. Inside, farmers were working in the fields, their clothes soaked with sweat, but their faces were filled with satisfaction and joy. This tranquility and harmony brought a sense of peace to both of them.
Zhuge Qing stopped and pointed to the farmhouse ahead. He said to Li Qiankun, "Brother Qiankun, look, that's our destination. Let's rest here tonight."
Li Qiankun looked at the village in front of him, a hint of doubt in his eyes. "Brother Zhuge, are you sure? Aren't we here to find that legendary secret place? This village doesn't look like a place that would hide a secret place."
Zhuge Qing smiled and patted Li Qiankun on the shoulder. "Brother Qiankun, don't worry. Since Senior Zhang asked us to come here, he must have a purpose. Perhaps we'll meet someone unexpected here."
Just as the two were about to enter the village, a woman in green suddenly appeared from the side. The woman had a pretty face and a glint of intelligence in her eyes. When she saw Li Qiankun and Zhuge Qing, she showed a look of surprise.
"Li Qiankun! Zhuge Qing!" the woman shouted, with a hint of joy in her voice.
Li Qiankun looked at the woman in front of him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "Xia He? Why are you here?"
Xia He smiled and didn't directly answer Li Qiankun's question. Instead, she looked at Ding Shiman next to her. "Ding An, you're here too?"
Ding Shima nodded, his gaze lingering on Xia He for a moment before moving away. His eyes were complex, as if concealing many unspeakable emotions.
Xia He seemed to notice Ding Shi'an's gaze, and her expression changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal. She turned to look at Li Qiankun and Zhuge Qing and said, "Why are you here? Are you also looking for that secret realm?"
Li Qiankun shook his head and said, "We're here to seek instructions from Senior Zhang. Xia He, why are you here? Also, what's going on between you and Ding An?"
Xia He sighed, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes. "It's a long story. Ding An was once my fellow disciple and we trained together in the sect. But, because I later betrayed the sect, he's been looking for me ever since."
Upon hearing this, Ding Shiman looked at Xia He again, his tone tinged with reproach. "Xia He, you betrayed the sect. Do you think you can escape?"
Xia He's face turned pale instantly. She looked at Ding Shi'an with fear in her eyes. "Ding An, I... I just don't want to live that kind of restricted life anymore. Please let me go, okay?"
Ding Shimaan looked at Xia He, a complex glint in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "Xia He, I've already followed Senior Li. Therefore, I won't expose you. However, please don't do anything that would bring shame to the sect again."
Xia He listened to Ding Shi'an's words, and the fear in her heart slowly dissipated. She looked at Ding Shi'an, a flicker of gratitude in her eyes. "Thank you, Ding An. I will remember your words."
At this moment, Zhuge Qing suddenly pointed to the back and said to everyone, "Look there."
Everyone looked in the direction Zhuge Qing pointed and saw a motorhome parked quietly not far away. The windows of the motorhome were closed, and the situation inside could not be seen.
"What is that...?" Li Qiankun frowned, an inexplicable feeling rising in his heart.
Xia He looked at the RV in front of her, and her blood pressure soared. She rubbed her eyes to make sure she was seeing things, and was suddenly speechless with shock. "What the hell is this?"
Zhuge Qing walked over to the RV, looked at it carefully, and then said, "It seems that someone parked this RV here on purpose. Why don't we go in and take a look? Maybe we can find some clues."
Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this, and they all walked towards the RV to find out what was going on.
Inside the RV, Xinghua was discussing cultivation with Li Qiankun. Xinghua was Li Qiankun's junior apprentice, and the two had always had a close relationship. At this moment, Xinghua listened attentively to Li Qiankun's explanation, nodding her head from time to time to show her understanding.
At that moment, the RV lurched forward, and Xia He burst in. She saw Li Qiankun's disheveled appearance and flew into a rage. "Li Qiankun! You bastard! I worked so hard to come to you, and you're out here fooling around with other girls!"
Xia He was about to step forward and slap Li Qiankun. Xinghua saw this and quickly stood in front of Li Qiankun, looking at Xia He coldly. "Sister Xia He, you misunderstood. We are just practicing martial arts."
Xia He looked at Xinghua and sneered disdainfully. "Practicing martial arts? Humph! I think it's cultivating feelings! Li Qiankun, did you trick me into coming here just to be with this girl?"
Li Qiankun sighed helplessly. He knew Xia He's temper. Once she made up her mind about something, it was difficult to change her mind. "Xia He, listen to my explanation..."
"I won't listen! You liar! I don't want to talk to you anymore!" Xia He said and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Xinghua quickly grabbed Xia He's hand. "Sister Xia He, don't be angry. Brother Qiankun didn't mean it. We were really practicing martial arts."
Xia He shook off Xinghua's hand and sneered, "Practicing martial arts? Fine, then you can practice together! I want to see what you can achieve!" After that, Xia He left the RV angrily.
Outside the RV, Zhang Chulan had been waiting nearby. He looked at the scene inside the RV and couldn't help but feel a little envious. They were both men, so why was Li Qiankun so popular with women? He turned to look at Zhuge Qing and asked, "Zhuge Qing, what are they talking about? Why haven't they come out for so long?"
Zhuge Qing smiled and said casually, "Don't worry, there's no point in worrying. They might be discussing something important. Come, how about we talk about my new hairstyle?"
Wang Ye rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "It's already this late, and you're still in the mood to talk about this."
Zhuge Qing didn't take it seriously and continued to tease, "Ah, people who practice Taoism should always maintain a peaceful mood. Look at you, your brows are wrinkled like a river."
As the two chatted, the door of the RV finally opened. Li Qiankun walked out tiredly, a serious look on his face. He looked at everyone and said, "The situation is a bit complicated. We encountered some unexpected situations in the RV and need to re-adjust our plans."
Everyone gathered around, and Li Qiankun began to recount what had just happened. It turned out he'd engaged in a fierce battle in the car with a mysterious figure. The figure's profound cultivation and sharp attacks had put Li Qiankun in danger. Fortunately, Li Qiankun, with his profound cultivation and clever strategy, managed to eke out a victory.
"It was truly thrilling!" Zhuge Qing exclaimed, "But your strength has improved a lot. It seems this breakthrough has been of great help to you."
Wang Ye also nodded and said, "Yes, Li Qiankun. Your experience this time is a valuable lesson for all of us. We must learn from you and continuously improve our own strength."
Zhang Chulan looked at Li Qiankun, his eyes gleaming with envy. "Brother Qiankun, your popularity with women is truly enviable. However, I also believe that you will be able to handle these emotional entanglements."
Li Qiankun gave a bitter laugh and said, "Matters of the heart are indeed a headache. However, the most important thing for us now is to find Senior Zhang's instructions and complete our mission."
