Chapter 425
"Just a little bit! I almost went in. Why did I hesitate? Why did I hesitate..."
Looking at the bare mountain wall, Huang Hao's heart was filled with deep annoyance and self-blame.
If Huang Hao had been more decisive at that time, he might have entered the Demon-Closing Cave. But now, it is too late to say anything, the Demon-Closing Cave's Demon-Closing Cave's Demon-Closing Cave's Demon-Closing Cave's Demon-Closing Cave's Demon-Closing Cave's Light Gate on the mountain wall also disappeared.
Huang Hao reached out to touch the mountain wall where the light gate was located, and only felt the rough mountain rocks slashing through his palm. Where could there be the shadow of the light gate?
Even Huang Hao used the Eye of the Shui River to view the existence of the Light Gate with the extraordinary insight of the Eye of the Shui River. However, such a move was still useless. Even though the perspective function of the Eye of the Shui River almost saw through the stone wall more than ten meters, he still did not see any shadow of the Light Gate.
"Li Yan, I'm sorry!" Huang Hao hit the mountain wall hard, and the rocks rolled down the mountain wall. He deeply blamed himself for his hesitation.
At this moment, a sound suddenly came from the distance. Huang Hao looked up and saw several figures climbing down to the bottom of the cliff on a steep path not far away.
This path is actually a mountain road dug out in a place with a protruding cliff. On one side is against the mountain wall and on the other side is a cliff. Compared with the road above the cliff, this path is even smaller, with only a road less than one meter wide. When walking on it, a few people must touch the mountain wall with one hand and slowly move their feet sideways.
"I hope the mountain god will appear so that the young man will not die!" A woman murmured in the team, and it was the elder sister who had talked to Huang Hao before.
The rest of the people looked grim and silent. They jumped off such a high cliff, and there was almost no chance of survival. Although the male doctor on the last time was safe, such a thing was almost an unexplainable supernatural event. How could it happen often? The mountain god appeared, after all, just a beautiful thought in people's hearts. If there was a mountain god, then the cattle and sheep in the village had fallen down accidentally over the years, and no one survived.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault for not holding him." The woman was still blaming herself, her voice even more swallowed: "That young man is a friend of a female doctor. He must be a good person, and he just died like this, hey..."
"Maybe this is the purpose of that young man coming here?" said a man in front of the woman: "Don't there often be plots of dying for love on TV?"
"If you really commit suicide, it's enough to show that he and the female doctor are in true love. I hope they can be a couple in the next life. God will not break them up." The woman said softly and remained silent, following the men quickly walked down the cliff along the steep path.
Although the voices of the few people were not loud, with Huang Hao's strength, the words of these people fell into his ears very clearly. At this moment, he could not help but be moved by the simple folk customs of Qingcun.
At this moment, a man in front of the woman suddenly said, "I heard that an expedition team from the capital is about to arrive here. He said he was coming to investigate the source of the red light in the valley. He should be here in the next few days."
"If this red light is so easy to investigate, the experts in the county have already investigated it. I think, most of the people coming from the capital will return empty-handed." Another man said: "The red light that once every half a month started shortly after the female doctor fell off the cliff. In my opinion, either the female doctor really became the apprentice of the mountain god, practiced here and became an immortal, or the female doctor died below and became an evil spirit. This is why this happens."
"Bao, that female doctor is a good person. Good people will be rewarded. They must have been taken by the mountain god as their disciple and become a god." The woman spat a few times and said with a serious look on her face.
"Well, I think so too. Only evil people have become evil spirits. A female doctor is a good person and must become an immortal." The man changed his words immediately after being told by the woman.
In the distance, Huang Hao listened to the words of several people, and his gloomy mood just now suddenly became clear.
"Yes, a red light will flash once every half a month. I missed this time. When the red light reappears in half a month, the light gate will definitely appear!" Huang Hao's face dissipated: "At that time, I must seize the opportunity and enter the Demon-Sealing Cave to find Li Yan!"
After understanding this, Huang Hao's thoughts were clear and his mood immediately returned to dullness.
"After entering the Demon-Sealing Cave, I don't know what dangers I will encounter, and whether I can come out is still unknown, so in this half month, I have to arrange everything in the secular world." A throbbing arose in Huang Hao's heart: "I always feel that this is my last day in the secular world."
On the other side, the few people had already reached the middle of the mountain.
At this moment, the woman didn't know what happened, but her feet suddenly slipped. With a scream, the woman's body actually fell down on the side of the path.
"Cuifen!" The man in front of the woman suddenly heard the movement and immediately wanted to reach out to pull the woman. However, his movements were still a step slower. The woman's body had fallen out of the path and fell toward the cliff outside the path.
Although it has reached the middle of the mountain, the gap between here and the bottom of the cliff is still nearly fifty or sixty meters away. Such a height is enough to fall to pieces.
"No--"
Looking at the falling woman, the middle-aged man knelt on the edge of the road and cried out loud.
However, just as the woman's body was about to fall to the bottom of the cliff, a soft force suddenly swept across from the side. At this moment, the middle-aged woman felt as if she had fallen on a ball of cotton, without any pain. She opened her eyes in panic, and the scene in front of her made the woman scream in a "wow": "Grandpa Shan God has appeared."
I saw myself floating in the air two or three meters above the ground, as if I was flying up. In such a strange scene, who else can do it except the immortal Grandpa of the mountain god?
Not far away, a playful smile suddenly flashed in Huang Hao's eyes. He saw his finger pointing, and a true energy shot out again and hit the woman. Immediately, the woman's body slowly rose, as if she was taking an elevator. In the blink of an eye, she had already returned to the place where she had fallen down.
Seeing the woman floating up again, the man was surprised and happy, and was speechless under mixed emotions.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you thank Grandpa Shan God for your great kindness?" The woman was quite sensible and immediately jumped to the man's side, pulled him and knelt on the path, kowtowing in the direction of the cliff. The other few people were also women who "flying" up were shocked. They immediately knelt down and kowtowed together without saying nonsense.
Looking at this scene, Huang Hao finally understood why the cultivation world stipulated that people in the cultivation world should not interfere in secular affairs. With the strength of people in the cultivation world, they could confuse mortals and make them respect them as gods. If all the people in the cultivation world do this, then the mortals in the secular world will inevitably turn into resources that practitioners plunder. The fight between gods and immortals will cause disaster, and then I don’t know how many innocent mortals will suffer. Clearly separating the secular world and the cultivation world is a best way to preserve the secular world.
After kowtowing dozens of times, the women and men helped each other and stood up.
"Are we... still going down?" a man asked suddenly.
"Of course we have to go down. If Grandpa Shan God only blesses us locals, we will also collect the body for that person, right?" The woman did not hesitate at all.
"Yeah, let's go down!" Soon, everyone reached an agreement and continued to walk down.
After experiencing a crisis, everyone was more careful. Although the speed was much slower, they reached the bottom of the cliff safely.
However, after searching for a long time, they still couldn't find Huang Hao's figure.
"It seems that this young man was also taken over by Grandpa Mountain God as his apprentice." The woman had experienced a wonderful experience before, and was obviously very devout to the false Grandpa Mountain God and said with relief: "Okay, this young man can sacrifice love for the female doctor, which is considered to be a deep love. Now they are all taken over by Grandpa Mountain God, and they will inevitably transform into golden boys and jade girls, and they will be able to stay together forever in the future."
The rest of the people nodded in agreement. They kowtowed a few times to the cliff again, and then the few people returned to the cliff along the path again.
Huang Hao hid behind a stone not far away, watched the people climb up the cliff, and then walked out again.
Looking at the direction of the mountain wall, Huang Hao murmured softly: "Li Yan, wait for me, I will come to you in half a month!"
While speaking, a wind blew under Huang Hao's feet, but he saw a long black stick floating at his feet at some point. This black stick was the Hunyuan Ruyi stick.
After stepping onto the Hunyuan Ruyi Stick, Huang Hao stopped stopping. With a thought, the Hunyuan Ruyi Stick rushed straight into the sky, leaving only a black light.
On the cliff, the woman and his man were staring at the cliff when suddenly a black light rose into the sky. The sharp-eyed woman suddenly covered her mouth. She actually saw a person above the black light. When she saw this person, the man turned his head towards him, and the familiar face actually smiled at her.
"What is that?" the man said in surprise as the black light disappeared into the clouds.
