The eldest lady is both a doctor and a warrior, they love her so much

The way up the mountain was much simpler than Hua Xin had imagined, because after they climbed over a wall, they saw endless stone steps.

Hua Xin looked back at the wall. To be honest, ordinary people would not be able to climb over it without martial arts skills.

She had never intended to hide her martial arts skills in front of Ye Lansheng, so when she tiptoed over the wall with great ease, the men present looked at her with surprise.

Accompanying them were Tianyang, Tianyue, Tianxing and Tiansha. Hua Xin nicknamed them the "Four Heavenly Kings".

Not only do they take care of Ye Lansheng's food, clothing, housing and transportation in normal times, but they also take charge of tracking, intelligence, assassination, etc. when they go out. They are simply an all-round boss, and any one of them can fight against a hundred people alone.

Tian Yang had fought with Hua Xin before, so he was less surprised. But the other three were extremely shocked. If Ye Lansheng had not been present, they would definitely have gone to talk to Hua Xin, but because of her status, they would not go too far.

Hua Xin gave them a sweet smile and pretended to be stupid and said nothing.

See through it but don’t speak it out!

"This stone staircase is also called the Steps of Enlightenment. Different stages will have different scenery. The viewer's state of mind is different, so the perception will be different."

Ye Lansheng broke the situation and spoke first, shifting everyone's attention to the stone steps in front of them.

"It's better than I thought. At least I don't have to climb a mountain with no path. Instead, I can walk on stairs."

Hua Xin was the first to step onto the stone steps and began to climb the mountain with brisk steps.

Ye Lansheng followed closely behind, and Tianyang and the others followed behind.

At the beginning, Hua Xin was always in the front, and later she and Ye Lansheng walked side by side until they reached a corner halfway up the mountain. The stone steps here were only half a meter wide, and became smaller as they went up, so her speed slowed down.

"But it's hard to leave?"

When Ye Lansheng saw Hua Xin stop, he stopped too.

"Well, we can't walk side by side anymore. Be careful."

After Hua Xin finished speaking, she raised her foot first, turned around and disappeared. Seeing this, Ye Lansheng also quickened his pace.

"Wow! There's actually a flat area!"

The scene before my eyes gave me a feeling of seeing a ray of hope after a dark period.

There is only a century-old camphor tree on the large platform. In the distance there is actually a secluded pool into which spring water flows from the mountain wall behind. The water flows through the rocks, falls from the cliff, and meanders between the rugged rocks covered with weeds and thorns.

The sound of the spring water is not as deafening as a waterfall, but rather "ding ding dong dong".

"The spring water is clear and cold, flowing gently, like snow."

"You want to write poetry?"

When Ye Lansheng came over, he saw Hua Xin standing under the camphor tree, looking at the spring in the distance with emotion.

"I won't."

Hua Xin blinked and said very honestly.

"I do not believe."

Ye Lansheng didn't know why, but he always felt that Hua Xin should know everything. Now that he suddenly heard her say that she didn't know anything, he felt that she was lying.

"uh-huh!"

Hua Xin cleared her throat. "Mountains, water, you, me, and...snakes!"

Hua Xin jumped three feet high. The most important thing was that she grabbed Ye Lansheng's sleeve and even used her internal force. As a result, she failed to pull the person over, and her sleeve tore with a "rip".

At the same time, Tianyang and Tianyue had already drawn their swords and attacked, and soon there were several twisting snake bodies on the ground.

"What a sin, what a sin! Amitabha! God has the virtue of loving all living things. The sin of killing you have committed is quite serious."

A monk came down the stone steps in the distance, chanting "Amitabha" all the time until he came in front of Hua Xin and the others.

For a moment, the scene seemed to have been paused. Hua Xin felt that the monk in front of her also had some skills, otherwise how could he appear in front of her from the other end of the stone steps so quickly? If she hadn't noticed that the other party's footsteps were special, she would have thought he could teleport.

"Uh, who would have thought there are snakes that don't hibernate in winter!"

Hua Xin was indeed startled, and then she noticed that Ye Lansheng's sleeve was torn, and whispered, "I'm sorry, it's torn, the quality of this dress is really problematic."

Tianxing and Tiansha were speechless. This was made of silk from the Heavenly Silkworm. How could there be any quality problems? It was obviously because she was too strong in her hands!

Tianyang and Tianyue's faces were not looking good either. After all, they had killed people halfway up the mountain, which was considered the back mountain of the White Horse Temple.

The monk said to Hua Xin and Ye Lansheng, "Dear donors, Master said that a distinguished guest is coming, so he asked Huiming to come and greet him."

"Master Huiming, who is your master?"

Hua Xin looked at Huiming, who had a round head in front of her and a friendly face, and wanted to strike up a conversation with him.

"My master is Master Jingyuan." After Huiming said this, he came to the snake's body, took out a small hoe from the belt on his back, dug a hole under the camphor tree, tore off a section of his robe, picked up the snake's body piece by piece, wrapped it up, and finally buried it under the camphor tree.

"You are quite interesting. You even bring a hoe with you when you go out to meet guests."

"Everyone, please!"

Huiming was leading the way, and the people behind him talked less. Hua Xin even planned to mend Ye Lansheng's sleeves, but unfortunately she was not good at needlework, so she gave up the idea after thinking about it.

"Master Huiming, what is the relationship between Master Jingyuan and Master Liaokong?"

Hua Xin followed behind Huiming and asked curiously.

"My master and the abbot are brothers, and my master is his junior fellow apprentice."

"Then your master is also very old, right?"

"Yes, my master is seventy-six years old this year."

"It's rare for a person to live to be seventy. Your master's senior brother lived so long, so your master will also live a long life."

"Thank you for your blessing."

Huiming didn't say much. Along the way, it was Hua Xin who asked most of the questions and he answered them. Before they knew it, they had arrived at the back door of the White Horse Temple.

"Wow, thank you Master Huiming for talking to me all the way, otherwise I wouldn't have known we were already here."

Hua Xin looked at the endless mountains around her, and on the other side there were steep cliffs.

If we hadn't chatted along the way, ordinary people would probably be afraid of this height. After all, in some places the stone steps are less than half a meter wide.

"Please follow me, benefactors!"

Hua Xin and the others walked behind, so Tian Yang and his companions, carrying weapons, looked a little out of place.

"Master, we..."

"You should all hide yourself! Don't run into the pilgrims and cause chaos."

"Yes!"

As they were talking, Tianyang and the others disappeared.

"Third brother, are they changing their identities to become secret guards?"

Hua Xin had never called Ye Lansheng "Third Brother" along the way. When he suddenly heard this name, it was like a spring breeze that left a mark on his heart.

"Yes, don't worry, just follow me."

"With my third brother here, I'm not worried."

Hua Xin smiled sweetly, as if the person who had torn the sleeves with her heart was not her.
