Adoption brings disaster
Chapter 122
We came out of the underground river and floated along the river in broad daylight, and came to a ferry. The ferry was made of cement and steel bars. According to two soldiers, it looked like this when we came here before, and the ferry has not changed over the years.
As I looked at the ferry, my guess was confirmed. I thought that it would not be long before I could return to my original world. I was so excited that I hurried to get ashore.
When we got ashore, there was a straight canyon in front of us. We walked along the canyon, just like walking in the alleys of a village in the city.
The canyon road is narrow. In the widest part, only three people can walk side by side, and in the narrowest part, you have to turn sideways to pass.
When he walked into a narrow place, A Dake suffered a lot. He had a big and strong frame to begin with. He had been with Chongguang for many years and had not practiced martial arts every day, so he had gained a lot of weight.
These are nothing special. Ah Da's life has been very smooth and he has become much richer. Now he is frighteningly fat. Even when he lies sideways, his body is wider than mine.
He was so fat that he had a hard time fitting into narrow spaces and had to squeeze his way through many places.
When we reached the last narrow part, A Da couldn't even squeeze through. Xiao Gao and I pulled in front, and two sergeants pushed in the back. A Da himself was completely naked, but it still took a lot of effort to push A Da through.
Ah Da suffered such torture that his stomach was covered in red. If he had not practiced iron vest, a large piece of his skin would have been worn off.
After leaving the canyon, the Bodhi Temple was in the distance. The soldier pointed to a mountain in the distance and said, "Your Highness, please look! That is the Bodhi Temple."
I looked at the misty peaks in the distance and couldn't help but sigh, "This Bodhi Temple is truly a blessed place. It's already afternoon, when the sun is at its highest, and I didn't expect the Bodhi Temple to still be shrouded in such thick fog."
The sergeant heard my sigh and said, "Your Highness, that's not fog. It's the smoke from the burning incense, candles, and paper money in the Bodhi Temple."
This shocked me a little, and I looked at the sergeant in disbelief.
Seeing this, Xiao Gao also walked over and said, "Bodhi Temple punishes evil, promotes good, and helps the poor and needy. It has many believers among the common people. Moreover, the temple's warrior monks often roam the world as guards for wealthy families. Many high-ranking officials and nobles are also followers of Bodhi Temple. It's no exaggeration to say that if we talk about the number of believers, Bodhi Temple is the state religion of Beishang Kingdom."
I always thought that Wudang Mountain was the second largest sect in the martial arts world, but I didn’t expect that the most powerful sect under Zhaixing Tower was Bodhi Temple.
But this is not surprising. Although the people in Wudang Mountain are all highly skilled in martial arts, they have close contacts with the people at the top of the pyramid of Beishang Kingdom.
But when it comes to making money, these Taoists are really no match for the monks in Bodhi Temple. No matter what era it is, those without money are unlikely to be able to beat the rich.
But this is not important. No matter how rich the Bodhi Temple is, it is not as rich as me. No matter how kind and generous they are to help the poor and needy, they are not as domineering as I am in giving away money.
When it comes to wealth, Wudang Mountain and Bodhi Temple combined are not as rich as me.
I was happy and arranged some things for the soldier, then we parted ways at the foot of the mountain.
The soldiers walked out of the mountain along the path at the foot of the mountain, and I saw that there were still two days before the martial arts conference, so I slowly led A Da and the other three along the path up the mountain to the Bodhi Temple.
As the saying goes, "A horse will die if it runs to the mountain." It may not seem very far, but it is very far when you walk to it. It took us half a day to reach the halfway point.
Besides, all of us are good at flying skills, except for Ah Da, who is a fat and flexible man, so it is a little difficult for him to fly.
Even for people of our strength, it took so long. If an ordinary person wanted to go to the Bodhi Temple, it would probably take at least half a month.
Thinking of this, I felt sad for the difficulties faced by the people while continuing to move forward in the afterglow of the sun.
Speaking of which, the Bodhi Temple is truly a paradise. The mountain where we are located alone has absolutely beautiful scenery. Under the moonlight, the mountain scenery is even more picturesque, and the moonlight on the mountain makes it even more fairy-like.
The beautiful scenery should not be missed. I was also very excited. In the joyful mood of appreciating the beautiful scenery, I walked up for more than an hour and came to an excellent viewing platform.
In such a beautiful place, you naturally cannot leave in a hurry. You must take a rest and enjoy the scenery before setting off to Bodhi Temple.
After walking for such a long time, it's time to take a break. Everyone helped me sit down and then went to find some food for dinner.
Xiao Gao came from a family of hunters, so he volunteered to hunt some wild game for dinner. The two brothers Wuxin and Wude had also been practicing martial arts with Li Qinghan in the deep mountains and forests over the years. When they saw Xiao Gao going, they also wanted to find some fruits to honor me.
Seeing that they were in high spirits, I reminded them to be careful and let them go.
I lay on the bed of hay that Ada had found to rest. The firelight in front of me warmed my body, and I inadvertently recalled a winter when I was a child. The orphanage did not have enough money, and everyone could only have two meals, and they were thin rice porridge.
I was so hungry that I went to a farmer's house not far away and stole some sweet potatoes to roast and eat.
I remember that it was in a forest like this, by a fire like this, eating roasted sweet potatoes. It was the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life.
As I savored the taste of that moment, my eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and soon I fell asleep.
When I woke up again, Xiao Gao was roasting a turtledove, while A Da and the other three were gathered together drinking something, and a banana leaf was filled with various fruits.
When they saw that I woke up, Wu De presented the fruits he had picked earlier to me like treasures.
I was also a little hungry, so I picked one up and started eating.
This fruit was carefully selected by Wu De, so it is naturally sweet and delicious. It is much more delicious than the fruits grown by farmers in the suburbs of Beijing who make a living by growing fruits.
After eating the fruit, Xiao Gao had already deboned the roasted turtledove and cut the meat into equal-sized strips, placing them on clean leaves, ready for me to enjoy.
I ate the turtledove meat piece by piece like a snack and said, "It's true that everyone has their own expertise. In such a short time, you've found so many delicious fruits. If I were there, I wouldn't even find a single fruit."
Wude was so excited when he heard me praising them that he ignored the etiquette and came up to me, took my hand, and said excitedly: "Your Highness, you don't know that there is a cliff on the west side of this mountain, and many monkeys live on this cliff."
"Your Highness, please try this." Ada squeezed in between Wude and me and handed me a steamed bun that didn't look anything special.
I don’t know why Ada gave me a steamed bun, but I still took it subconsciously.
I picked up the black, hard bun that gave off a strange smell and looked at Ada in surprise, but Ada didn't have time to explain to me because he was about to fight with Wude.
"Stop." I threw the steamed bun in my hand to the side to stop their conflict.
Wude's Qinggong skills were very good. Seeing me angry, he immediately threw himself into my arms, crying with tears in his eyes: "Brother Qianqiu, Ada squeezed me, it hurts."
After saying that, he lifted up his clothes and let me see his waist which was red from being hit by the stone.
I saw that Wude's waist was very red and seemed to have some scratches, but I didn't know whether it was serious or not.
I could only press the red spot on Wu De's face, but it didn't feel like anything. It was just that Wu De was crying, which made me hesitate to make any conclusions.
I know very little about medicine. Wude was injured, and I was helpless. I could only look at Wuxin and say, "Wude is injured. Come and take a look. Is there anything serious?"
Wu Xin listened but didn't move. Instead, he continued to pick fruits for me without even looking up and said, "It's okay."
After saying that, he respectfully handed me the fruit he had chosen.
Wuxin said it was okay, so Wude must be okay, but Wude kept crying. For a teacher, it is normal for a child to cry when he is injured, so I also patiently coaxed him.
When Ah Da saw this, he also lay down on the ground and started howling, imitating Wu De's behavior.
I saw the burly guy rolling on the ground begging for comfort, and it hurt my eyes. The scene was so eye-catching that I felt like I didn't want to see anymore.
Seeing Ah Da getting more and more excited, I gritted my teeth and said, "Get up right there! You're disgusting! How can a grown man act like a woman?"
When Ah Da heard this, he got up and stopped crying. He just looked at me and then at Wu De like a nagging woman, over and over again, which gave me goosebumps.
I knew that if I continued to coax Wude like this, Ah Da would do so many disgusting things, so I gently kicked Wude and said, "Get out of the way, Wude said you're fine, if you keep making trouble, just get out of the way."
When Wude saw that I was angry, he stopped making a fuss and just looked at me resentfully, muttering to himself.
I couldn't stand this kind of resentful and unethical behavior, so I had to get up and leave this place of trouble. I went to Wuxin and asked, "Did you steal the monkey's home?"
Wuxin replied, "Not really. The moonlight is beautiful tonight, and I looked carefully. There are at least a dozen caves made by monkeys on the cliff. We were in a hurry to get back, so we only brought back some good fruit from the caves at the edge."
I nodded and continued, "From what you said, maybe we can find some monkey wine in these caves."
"Yes, yes, I discussed with my brother that after the martial arts conference, we will come to explore these caves. If there is monkey wine, we will give it to brother Qianqiu." Wude came over and said, but was stopped by Ada and could not rush into my arms.
"You coquettish, slutty thing." Ah Da cursed fiercely, "Master Li Qinghan isn't very good at Qinggong, so I think it will be difficult for that little Wude to obtain the monkey wine. I will write a letter to His Royal Highness Prince Yong right away. Your Royal Highness is a master of martial arts, so obtaining the monkey wine will be a piece of cake for him."
Ah Da's words really scared me. I said weakly, "Ah Da, why don't you think about the status of His Royal Highness Prince Yong? You asked him to get the monkey wine. Are you sure you didn't drink too much fake wine or eat poisonous mushrooms?"
"How could you say that, Your Highness Qianqiu? Your Highness Prince Yong is incredibly filial to you, infinitely more so than these two little bastards. Forget about getting some monkey wine, he wouldn't even frown even if he had to go through fire and water."
As soon as these words came out, Wu De immediately couldn't sit still and stood up to confront Ah Da. Wu Xin didn't move, but just said quietly: "I can die for this right now, can your Highness?"
"Yes, brother is right. We can die for Brother Qianqiu. Why isn't your master with Brother Qianqiu now? You are really shameless and dare to say stupid things that are more filial than us two brothers."
"Everyone in our escort agency is willing to die for the boss."
Xiao Gao's voice was too soft and no one paid any attention to him.
Ada and Wude were arguing so loudly that I was scared to death listening to them. Ada, aren't you afraid that your master will sit up and yell at you in the middle of the night, saying, "This idiot Ada is sick. Please don't bring me along when you show off."
After all, Ada is not His Royal Highness Prince Yong, so in the end he will naturally be defeated by Wude.
Wude looked at Ah Da proudly, his head raised like a victorious rooster, and said, "I am the only one in this world who is the most loyal to Brother Qianqiu. From now on, I will be the only one who will guard Brother Qianqiu by his side."
Ah Da was shaking with anger, but when it came to talking, he was no match for Wu De. Finally, he steeled his resolve and said in a mean way, "No matter how loyal you are, you're still just a dog. Does His Highness Qianqiu really need a dog like you? But my master has already had physical contact with His Highness Qianqiu, something you, a dog, will never dream of."
I looked at Ada in astonishment. He actually said this thing so lightly, something I never wanted to mention in my life.
The three of them were also stunned when they heard this. Xiao Gao looked at me in disbelief, Wu Xin swung the sword in his hand and was about to kill A Da, and Wu De looked at me in despair like a little child.
But I'm not in the mood to care about the three of them now. I looked back and forth at Xiao Gao, Wu Xin and Wu De with murderous intent, and stared at A Da with empty eyes for a cup of tea.
Finally, he said cruelly, "His Highness the Seventh Prince has left the palace to establish his own residence. Naturally, you, the personal eunuch who has always served by his side, have also risen in power. You even dare to fabricate things about me."
Ah Da felt guilty and kept his head down, not daring to speak. I was furious and ignored him, lying down on the bed and asking Xiao Gao to wait on me.
It is shameful for a woman to be submissive to a man, let alone that the man is the Seventh Prince whom she has raised as her son for so many years.
This matter was exposed by Ada, and I was completely embarrassed.
I was secretly thinking about how to punish this outspoken A Da when I returned to the capital after the Jianghu incident was over. However, I didn't expect that even though I returned to the capital, I would not have the chance to punish A Da.
Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.
