C2026 Entering the Sacred Land(1)
"Butler Lu, although I have become a cripple now, but I'm afraid it's not to the point of needing a stretcher. " Fann Binn looked at Lu Xun. "I can walk on my own, but it's a mountain path that's a little difficult to walk on. I just need you to help me up. "
Lu Xun saw that Fan Bin refused to sit on the stretcher, so he could only give up. At this time, Yu Rong, who was beside him, said to Lu Xun, "Butler Lu, Fann Binn's safety is all on you. Do not let anything happen to him, do you know?"
"Don't worry, young lady. Although this mountain path is difficult to walk on, with me and four guards taking turns to take care of him, Fann Binn's safety can be guaranteed. The mountain road is difficult to walk on, so you don't have to worry about safety. There are no outsiders in the territory of the Tianyu. " Lu Xun smiled confidently, "We will definitely reach our destination safely and then leave the mountain safely."
" Alright, that's enough with your guarantee. You guys have worked hard all the way here. I will leave Fann Binn to you guys." Yu Yide nodded and said, "Then let's not delay any longer. You guys go on your way. It will take about three to four hours for the mountain to climb up. Don't wait until it is dark. If you can't see the mountain path, it will be difficult to climb. Let's go early and arrive early. "
" Okay, Elder Yu. Then we will set off. " Lu Xun bowed to Yu Yide and led Fann Binn towards the main gate of Yu Family. At this moment, Fann Binn turned his head and looked at Qin Wenjing and Yu Rong who were standing at the side. He forced a smile on his face, as if he was saying goodbye to the two girls. This trip to the Holy Land was about to begin, and perhaps no one knew about it. What will happen...
"Mr. Fan, do you want to take a break first? I think you're quite tired." Lu Xun panted slightly as he looked at Fan Bin, who was leaning against a tree and breathing rapidly. " You have already climbed half of the mountain. You can rest for a while. Don't tire yourself out. "
Fann Binn looked at the deep cliff under the trees. He finally experienced the hardships of going to the Holy Land. If he was healthy, this rugged mountain road might not be a big deal. But now, he had almost used up all the stamina he had stored for the past few days. But even so, he still needed the support of the guards next to him. He barely managed to climb half of the mountain path.
Due to the pain in his body, he no longer had any strength left. Even his legs began to tremble slightly. He was unable to exert too much strength, so he was no longer the same as before. Lu Xun saw that he could not hold on much longer, so he took the initiative to suggest resting.
Sitting on a rock by the roadside, Fann Binn took the cucumber and water from Lu Xun. He began to recover his physical strength and replenish it. Along the way, he was rather quiet. However, it was also true that he was a dignified seven-foot-tall man. Originally, he was walking as if he was flying, but now, he needed someone to support him in order to climb the mountain. No matter who it was, they would not feel good about this huge disparity. Naturally, they would not be in the mood to speak anymore.
They were located at a distance of three to four hundred meters above the foot of Misty Mountain. If they went up another few hundred meters, they should be able to reach the mountainside. The forest was dense, but the scenery of the waterfall above the ecosystem ditch was pretty good. If it was in the past, Fann Binn would definitely appreciate such a beautiful scenery. But now, he had no interest in that at all.
"Come, drink some water first. Later, we will have to climb to a place harder than this. Maintain your stamina. " Lu Xun handed Fann Binn the water bottle with concern and said to him. " If you have any discomfort, tell me in time. I can ask the guards to carry you up. Don't force yourself. "
Fann Binn took the water bottle and took a sip. He looked at Lu Xun and said, "Butler Lu, I know this Misty Mountain Holy Land is a karst cave. Is there only an abandoned stalactite pool inside? Even if it's called a Holy Land, there should be something different about it, right? "
Seeing that he was interested in the holy land, Lu Xun also smiled and said. " Of course, the Sacred Land of Tianyu was a treasure land found by the ancestors of Tianyu. Although it was just a karst cave, the temperature inside was different from the outside world. Except for the stalactite pool, the temperature was maintained at a constant state. There was also a special aura that allowed one to focus and calm one's mind when cultivating. It's twice the result with half the effort. "
"Besides, there are many precious herbs planted in this karst cave. It has been hundreds of years, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter the Holy Land. They are afraid that these precious herbs will be stolen. But of course you have no problem, you are going to be the future head of the family. Naturally you're qualified to enter."
"Hehe, future head of the family... I'm afraid I won't have that life anymore." Fann Binn laughed self-deprecatingly and shook his head, "My current injuries are severe, equivalent to being a cripple. What ability do I have to become the family head?"
"Don't be discouraged, Fann Binn. You can definitely do it." Lu Xun encouraged, "From the moment I saw you, I knew that you were not an ordinary person. To be able to overcome all obstacles and achieve victory, what other difficulties could not be overcome? Perhaps you will really have a miracle if you enter the stalactite pool to recuperate? "
" Miracles, how can there be so many miracles in this world? " Fann Binn stood up bitterly, as if he was unwilling to continue the conversation. He said, "Let's go. Let's continue on our way. We need to get to the Holy Land as soon as possible. We can quickly find out if a so-called miracle will happen in the Holy Land. "
Seeing Fan Bin take the initiative to request to go, Lu Xun naturally would not refuse. However, just as they were about to leave, the guard behind them suddenly appeared from the woods and came to Lu Xun's side. He said worriedly, "General Manager Lu, I was on guard in the woods just now. I seemed to have noticed some noise in the woods at the foot of the mountain. It seems to be a sound made by someone. Is there someone following us? "
"Hm?" Lu Xun turned his head in surprise and looked at him, laughing. “ Someone is following me? Hehe, aren't you worrying too much? This is the territory of the Tianyu family. Besides, who would be bored enough to follow us? Why are you following us? This Misty Mountain is so big. Perhaps it is some other tribe member who plucked mountain goods and hunted. What's there to be surprised about?"
After Lu Xun said this, the guard shut his mouth and said nothing more. Indeed, although the Misty Mountain was a forbidden area near the sacred land, the members of Tianyu's families could move freely in other places. There were many mountain goods in the mountain, and some of the family members often went up to the mountain to pick the mountain goods.
Besides, when they went to the sacred land, they didn't steal or rob openly. Who would be bored enough to follow them? Therefore, what Lu Xun said could be more convincing. Most of the guards leaned towards Lu Xun's view.
Since there were no objections, everyone went on their way again. Fann Binn was in the middle, Lu Xun was in the front, and the guards were behind. The group continued along the rugged mountain path towards the peak of Misty Mountain. Misty Mountain was very big, so there were many mountain paths, but most of them were unprocessed paths. Climbing the piles of rocks and crossing the waterfall and stream, Fann Binn's body gradually began to be unable to withstand such a high load of walking. He stopped to rest a few times, panting heavily. This undoubtedly greatly delayed their walking speed.
The sky gradually darkened, and the sun was about to set. However, they had just walked more than half the distance, and there was still a relatively long mountain path waiting for them.
At this time, although Fann Binn was somewhat unwilling, he was still supported by two guards, one on the left, one on the right, and one behind. They carried him and continued forward. With this, the group's speed immediately increased by a lot. Finally, they arrived at the holy land of Tianyu, which was located at the highest peak of Misty Mountain, just before the sun set in the west.
There was a house built near the holy land. It was obviously a place for the guarding clansmen to stay. The Holy Land was a sacred place, so it obviously wouldn't allow ordinary people to enter. Thus, they naturally had to be on guard and patrol, and the people living here naturally did the job of guarding. After Fann Binn and the others arrived, four men dressed in guards quickly ran out from the houses. They quickly came to Lu Xun's side vigilantly.
"Steward Lu, it's you." When the leader of the guards saw that it was Lu Xun, he put away his vigilance and smiled. "What wind blew you here?"
"Hehe, what wind? Why can't you come without wind?" Lu Xun smiled and wiped his sweat. He took out a printed command letter from his pocket and said, "Well, although you are familiar with it, take a look at the letter first. It contains the pass given by the Elders Guild. The order to allow us to go to the Sacred Land. "
After the guard received the letter, he quickly opened it and read it a few times. Then, he said respectfully to Lu Xun. "So it's the future Patriarch who has come to the Sacred Land to treat his injuries. Welcome, welcome. No problem. You can enter the Sacred Land to treat your injuries at any time. But the sky is going to be dark soon. Why don't we eat something warm in the house first before leaving? There is still a bit of distance from here to the entrance of the Holy Land, and by the time you reach it, it is already night. It was not good to have an empty stomach, right? Yesterday, our brothers beat a few wild rabbits and roasted them to eat. "
Lu Xun seemed very interested in the guard's generous invitation. After all, how could cold rations be as tempting as hot wild animals? But at this time, he looked at Fann Binn who was beside him and saw that he did not seem to be interested. He also knew that he probably wanted to reach the Holy Land as soon as possible for recuperation. He could not help but shake his head and say. " We must reach the Holy Land as soon as possible to treat our injuries. We can talk about eating in the future. It's better to bring us to the Holy Land as soon as possible. "
Seeing Lu Xun reject his generous invitation, the guard did not have any dissatisfaction. He nodded and smiled, "Alright, alright. I'll bring everyone to the entrance of the Holy Land now. Come with me!"
With the guard as the guide, Lu Xun and the others naturally followed him. However, the other guards didn't follow him. Instead, they all returned to their rooms, preparing to prepare dinner.
After Fann Binn and the others left, in the room where the guard stayed, a guard smoking a cigarette curled his lips and said, "Did you see that? The one standing in the middle just now is the newly selected future head of the family. No wonder he put on airs! I saw that Steward Lu wanted to have dinner with us just now, but that future head of the family didn't seem to be willing. What do you think they're going to the Holy Land for?"
" Didn't the head say that they're going to treat their injuries!? I heard from Old Wang, who went up the mountain to pick herbs the day before, that the clan is in chaos now. After the death of the family head, the competition for a new family head was extremely intense. It was as if both competitors had been seriously injured and had been lying in bed for several days. I heard that the competition was very exciting, but unfortunately, it's our turn to guard the Holy Land this year. Otherwise, we would have been able to witness such a wonderful scene." Another guard beside him sighed, "How can the position of the Lord be so easy, the price we have to pay is quite high"
