546: C546 Tang Yan Lai

C546 Tang Yan Lai

When Yu Jingzhe finally climbed to the top of the mountain, it was already late at night. The mist on the top of the mountain covered the entire sky, and he could only see the faint glow of fire not far away.

Yu Jingzhe thought that when he finally reached the top of the mountain, it would lessen the pressure more or less. However, he never expected that the pressure on him would be as heavy as a mountain.

Moreover, it was still increasing as he moved forward.

"Yo, I thought you would only be able to get here tomorrow morning, but I didn't expect you to be able to. You're here right now. Good timing, go get me some water."

"Old senior, can you let me rest for a while?"

Yu Jingzhe was sweating profusely. This was the first time since he started cultivating that he was in such a sorry state. Once again, he felt powerless in his heart.

Tang Liu ignored him, "If I let you go, then go. It's still good for you."

With that said, Yu Jingzhe had no choice but to go.

With heavy steps, Yu Jingzhe obediently walked towards the direction that Elder Tang Liu pointed in. When he came back, another hour had passed.

"B-old senior, the water is here."

Compared to the force that was pressing down on him, Yu Jingzhe had no effort at all to carry the bucket.

Tang Xiao took the water and slowly walked into the fog.

For some reason, from the sound of the footsteps, Tang Xiao didn't walk too far away from him, but he could still not see his figure. The mist in front of him was deliberately blocking him.

Fortunately, Elder Tang came back very quickly. This time, the things in his hands changed from a bucket to a simple and crude porcelain bowl.

"Drink it."

Without any hesitation, Yu Jingzhe drank it all in one gulp.

When he opened his eyes again, Yu Jingzhe miraculously discovered that the fog that was lingering in front of him was gradually dissipating, as if it was conscious.

"This mountain was originally where the Puppeteers lived. However, in our generation, there were some mishaps. The two of us were the only ones left, so we could only go down the mountain to live. "Maybe I was just mesmerized by the world beneath the mountain, junior apprentice-brother …"

When Tang Liu said the two words' junior brother, 'a strong sense of hatred flashed through his eyes, and he shut his mouth without uttering a word.

Yu Jingzhe also tactfully did not rub salt on Elder Tang's wound and did not ask any further.

"Old senior, what are we here for?"

Yu Jingzhe still felt it was strange. If that person was in Yunyang City, shouldn't they have first found out his whereabouts?

"Tomorrow morning, you will know that the spiritual energy here is much more abundant than outside. I must have brought you some benefits from the trial earlier so that you can digest it first. Tomorrow morning, I will bring you to a place."

Tang Liu was quite suspicious.

In a simple thatched hut, sleep was impossible. Thus, Yu Jingzhe began to gradually enter a meditative state, accompanied by the snores of Elder Tang.

… ….

When the first ray of sunlight shone through the crack on Yu Jingzhe's face, he slowly opened his eyes. Elder Tang Liu was no longer in the thatched hut.

After walking out, Yu Jingzhe found that he was not the only one outside.

Tang Yanli was talking to Tang Liu and stopped subconsciously the moment Yu Jingzhe walked out of the door.

"You're awake. Let me introduce you to each other. This is Tang Yanli, and this is Yu Jingzhe."

Yu Jingzhe nodded at Tang Yanli. On the other hand, Tang Yanli didn't seem to be satisfied with Yu Jingzhe.

"In all these years, no one has ever succeeded. He isn't from our side, so there's a possibility that he didn't succeed."

Tang Yanli said confidently. Tang Liu looked at Yu Jingzhe from beginning to end and said confidently, "Whether he succeeds or not will depend on his fortune. I have never been able to get a guarantee from the beginning to the end."

Although Yu Jingzhe didn't know what the two of them were talking about, and looked down on him from the beginning, he expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Isn't it too one-sided to say that I can't do it even though I've never tried it before? Just as the old senior said, everything depends on luck."

Tang Liu was fond of Yu Jingzhe's enthusiasm. He patted Yu Jingzhe's arm and praised him in a rare manner, "Well said, since you can't wait any longer, let's start now."

The moment Yu Jingzhe was pushed down by the senior without any hesitation, he immediately reacted and reached out to grab something to stop him.

Yu Jingzhe struggled for a while before he finally crashed into the pool.

"Hu!"

Suddenly emerging from the freezing pool, Yu Jingzhe almost scrambled to the shore.

He took out the pill he brought along with him and stuffed it into his mouth. Not long later, Yu Jingzhe felt that his body was gradually recovering.

"Old senior, are you still there?"

Everywhere he looked, there was something strange.

The ice-cold water would quickly absorb the spiritual energy in his body. Even though it had already reached its peak, it was still unable to avoid the exhaustion.

Yu Jingzhe said in a probing tone, but it was obvious that Tang Liu did not want to bother with him. Only now did he know that this was what he meant by "survive by himself".

Fortunately, there was still a torch burning in the darkness.

"Tch!" "Tch!" "Tch!"

The strange sound attracted Yu Jingzhe's attention. He grabbed the torch beside him and slowly walked towards the source of the sound.

As the sound got closer, Yu Jingzhe could almost see a child-sized shadow on the wall.

Yu Jingzhe, who had bright eyes, could easily see that the joints in this back was completely different from a person's, just like … Like a puppet.

Yu Jingzhe had been following them from not far behind. It was best not to act recklessly before they had a clear understanding of the situation.

The puppet suddenly stopped, and Yu Jingzhe also stopped.

The sound of something being opened was heard, and then a familiar voice sounded again. Yu Jingzhe quickly followed.

What the puppet had just opened was a stone door.

After he went in, the stone door closed. The puppet suddenly turned around and faced Yu Jingzhe, who didn't have time to hide. It could even be said that Yu Jingzhe had nowhere to hide.

There were no eyeballs at the place where the eyes were, only two skeletons. Yu Jingzhedong did not dare to move recklessly and quietly took out his bow, even though he had only used it against living people.

However, the puppet did not seem to be targeting him. It stood still for a while, with no intention of moving.

Yu Jingzhe moved his body tentatively. Once, twice. Nothing happened.

"What are you doing?"

Yu Jingzhe's eyes suddenly became sharp and shot an arrow at the back.

However, there was nothing behind him. The arrow formed from spirit energy hit the stone wall and disappeared.1

"Don't waste your energy little brother, you won't be able to hit me."

The voice came from behind again. This time, Yu Jingzhe didn't look back and asked, "Who are you?"
