Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 225 Memory inheritance
"Before we entered the secret realm, we met two of your Pei family soldiers stationed outside. They told us the rules of each circle of the secret realm and also said that you would leave marks. We tried our best to avoid the rules and followed the marks all the way here." Da Xian explained.

He thought for a moment, "The mark leads to a collapsed area. We can't find any trace of you. The rest of the way depends entirely on luck."

The collapsed block he mentioned should be the human-faced porcupine block that Pei Nai and his group separated from Han Ruize and others.

"And not long after we started walking, you ran into me just when I had broken through the mountain pass?" Pei Nai was still a little dazed and found it unbelievable.

Da Xian was overjoyed, and the movement of clapping his fan was full of his unique elegance. "I told you, you and I are destined to be together. It was the same last time in the Twenty-One Region. I was the first one to meet you."

Gu Jinheng glanced at him coldly.

Da Xian was still angry about the fact that Pei Nai got wet just now and Gu Jinheng did not protect her.

He cared about Pei Nai's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and also cared about whether she was well cared for.

Da Xian was originally looking at Pei Nai with a gentle and warm expression, just like the bright sunshine in April. But when Gu Jinheng looked at him, his gaze back also revealed a hint of coldness.

He never gave in, just like his attitude in the fight for Pei Nai.

"Oh, by the way, there is a cliff on the road--" Pei Nai just started to speak, and realized that the atmosphere behind him was wrong.

She turned around and saw Gu Jinheng and Da Xian turned their heads away at the same time. She asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Gu Jinheng said.

Pei Nai didn't think much about it.

Seeing that Da Xian smiled at her, she continued to ask, "The last critical position of the third circle is in the middle of a cliff. The vines we passed by were all cut by the giant alien plants. How did you get here?"

"Looking at the traces, I can roughly guess what happened to you at that time. We will first move from the other vines to the opposite cliff. After getting out of the third circle, we will swing over with the rope." Daxian answered her doubts.

Da Xian looked around, took in the situation in the valley, and asked, "Where are Han Ruize and the others? Why are there only a few of you left?"

Pei Nai briefly told him what had happened, and when he had almost finished, they happened to arrive near the camp.

"I'll go in and change my clothes first." Pei Nai greeted her and bowed before entering her and Gu Jinheng's tent.

Helian Dunru and his party also came over, and he talked with Daxian in Qilu language for a while.

Pei Nai didn't understand, but from their tone, he felt that they were getting to know each other, and then they talked about some serious matters.

Pei Nai quickly changed his clothes, then lifted the curtain and walked out.

Qu Baiyi pushed the rolling chair towards them, and Pei Nai hurried over to pick him up.

"Senior Qu, I have broken the rocks, but it is time for us to leave." The only thing Pei Nai couldn't let go of at this moment was him.

When Da Xian heard Pei Nai call him "Senior Qu" and saw the pure white long stick on his legs, his expression changed slightly and he guessed, "Are you Senior Qu Baiyi?"

"It's me." Qu Baiyi nodded.

Pei Nai introduced Qu Baiyi, "This is Da Xi'an, the crown prince of Qilu."

"The young are to be feared," Qu Baiyi commented.

Qu Baiyi's appearance in the secret realm made Da Xian and others feel incredible.

After all, almost everyone thought that he had died. How many people could have imagined that he was trapped in the secret realm of Lu State?

"Senior Qu, please leave with us." Pei Nai invited again.

"I can't go back, I can't go back." Qu Baiyi shook his head.

His eyes were dim, as if the spark of life had long been extinguished, like a candle in the wind, and everything was burnt and withered.

"My poison has penetrated deep into your lungs. You won't live for more than a few months. And if you bring an old man like me with you, you won't be able to escape if you encounter an accident in the secret realm. I will be a burden to you."

Pei Nai didn't know what to say.

"Please do me a favor. That kid Qu Mufeng doesn't accept any disciples, so the Qi Yue Bai Staff cannot be discontinued in our generation. I heard that Lian Cheng has an extraordinary memory, so can I explain the moves and you help demonstrate so that Lian Cheng can remember them? When you meet a child who is suitable for practicing staff techniques in the future, can you help me teach him?" Qu Baiyi requested.

He only taught Pei Nai for two days, but he made Pei Nai's newly created spear skills more stable and advanced. He also guided Pei Nai to awaken the spirit of the spear and break through the limit of her spear's destructive power.

In terms of both emotion and reason, he can be considered Pei Nai's master.

How could Pei Nai refuse him?
She nodded and said to Gu Jinheng and Da Xian, "Then you guys wait for me here? We'll set off later." Gu Jinheng and Da Xian both nodded without objection.

Pei Nai and Ju Liancheng followed Senior Qu to the backyard of the ancient building.

The spear has a sharp edge, which makes it inconvenient to demonstrate the stick techniques, so Pei Nai did not take the Zhubei Spear, but used Qu Baiyi's pure white stick.

"Do I just need to watch?" Ju Liancheng asked.

"Yeah." Pei Nai chuckled. "If you have it, you can benefit from it. If you don't have it, you can use it. Just think of yourself as a container and learn it."

Ju Liancheng glared at her: "How can you talk like that?"

"Okay, okay, from now on you will be a walking top martial arts secret book, and you will never starve to death wherever you go." Pei Nai turned around and said to Qu Baiyi: "Senior Qu, let's get started."

Qu Baiyi orally explained the moves and key points.

Pei Nai did exactly what he was told, accurately determining the angle and strength, and controlling the movements to the utmost.

Qi Yue's white stick has many moves, which are even divided into eight major categories.

They demonstrated from morning till dusk, and Pei Nai finally took a break.

"There are some other mental methods. I will only tell you the general idea. If I want to explain in detail, it may take several days and nights. I can't delay you. Let future generations figure out the mysteries themselves." Qu Baiyi felt a little embarrassed for having troubled them for the whole day.

Ju Liancheng nodded, ready to listen.

Pei Nai looked at Senior Qu, and at that moment, Qu Mufeng's eyes seemed to overlap with his.

Her heart ached.

Suddenly I thought, fate is cruel, but why should they give in to it?

Even though Qu Baiyi's death was approaching, he almost begged them and tried hard to pass on what his ancestors left behind.

Pei Nai recalled Senior Qu's happy and satisfied expression when he ate barbecue and drank liquor again after eleven years.

She didn't want it to be the last time.

Pei Nai interrupted them, "Remember to say first, I have something to ask Gu Jinheng."

Qu Baiyi and Ju Liancheng nodded and continued their lecture.

Pei Nai ran towards Gu Jinheng and the others. Da Xian and Helian Dunru were sitting on the grass chatting about something, and Gu Jinheng was also beside them, but he didn't talk much.

Pei Nai felt that Helian Dunru had almost been turned against them.

She had just finished talking to Senior Qu and the others, and as soon as she moved, Gu Jinheng looked over.

At this moment, Gu Jinheng was standing up and walking towards her.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jinheng asked her seeing that she was a little anxious.

Pei Nai looked up at him and asked, "Senior Qu's poison, what is the chance of being cured?"

Gu Jinheng held her cheek with one hand, without hesitation or thought, as if he had expected that she would ask this question sooner or later.

He replied: "He is poisoned in the secret realm. According to the known herbs in the world, there is no antidote. He can only live for another four months at most. But if he is lucky, we found a herb in the meteorite that can suppress the poison."

Pei Nai's eyes gradually lit up.

"I'll prepare the antidote. The possibility of cure is 70%. " Gu Jinheng's eyes softened when he looked at her like this.

Pei Nai threw herself into his arms and hugged him happily, "So there is still hope? I understand."

With a smile on her face, she strode back towards Qu Baiyi and Ju Liancheng.

Qu Baiyi was talking to Ju Liancheng when he was interrupted by Pei Nai who rushed over.

"Stop talking!" Pei Nai pushed Qu Baiyi's rolling chair towards the main entrance of the ancient building, "Go out and recruit some disciples yourself."
