Chapter 197 Wudang
Xin Zhen had no intention of meeting Xian Yutong and the two elders of Huashan. Firstly, although they were all called the Huashan Sect, the connection between them was too shallow and there was really no intention of meeting.

Secondly, whether it was Xian Yutong or the two elders from Huashan, they were all people of despicable character. Xin Zhen was really unwilling to flatter such people, for fear that he would not be able to control himself and chop them to death.

Especially a handsome man like Xian Yutong. Although Hu Qingniu did not tell him about Xian Yutong, Xin Zhen knew about it. Naturally, he deeply despised his character. If a conflict really arose, Xin Zhen would probably not be able to bear it.

As for why Xin Zhen didn't chop the man to pieces now, he thought it would be better to subdue him and let Hu Qingniu deal with him when he was present.

In this case, this trip to Mount Huashan should come to an end.

Xin Zhen took Zhou Zhiruo up and down Mount Huashan, and then took a last look at the vegetation on Mount Huashan, turned back and said to Zhou Zhiruo, "Let's go."

The two of them left Huashan without looking back.

On the way, Zhou Zhiruo asked, "Brother Xin, can we take the Han River back to Butterfly Valley?"

Xin Zhen nodded immediately upon hearing this. He naturally understood that Zhou Zhiruo missed her father, and walking along the Han River again could help her ease her grief.

So the two of them went south from Huayin County to Shangluo, took a boat downstream from the Danjiang River in Shangluo, and turned into the Han River at Danjiangkou.

The two men were on a passenger ship, and the passengers on the ship were also going to cross the Han River. The passengers were not too surprised to see Xin Zhen and the other man, because although Xin Zhen was less than fourteen years old, he already looked like a teenager. Although some people were surprised that he was so young and yet he traveled around the country with a young girl, they were not too shocked.

The journey down the river was very smooth. One day, the boat reached Danjiangkou. Xin Zhen suddenly remembered that Wudang Mountain was nearby, so he said, "Let's go to Wudang Mountain. We promised to go see Zhang Wuji."

Zhou Zhiruo was delighted when she heard this: "Great, I wonder if Brother Wuji's cold poison has healed."

Girls are innocent after all.

Xin Zhen smiled and told the boatman that he wanted to get off the boat. The boatman was unwilling to refund the fare and hesitated. Xin Zhen said that he would not refund the fare, so he actively approached the shore and let Xin Zhen and the other person go ashore.

After landing at Danjiangkou, they could see Wudang Mountain from afar. It was about a hundred miles away, which was not too far for Xin Zhen and his companions. They used their lightness skills to slowly hurry over and arrived at the foot of Wudang Mountain in just half a day.

There was a young Taoist priest sitting at the foot of Wudang Mountain. When he saw Xin Zhen and the others, he came up to them, bowed, and said, "Do you two believers want to go up the mountain?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "That's right. We are here to visit Master Zhang. We made an appointment with Zhang Wuji to come and see him a year ago."

When the young Taoist heard that they were here to visit Zhang Wuji, he immediately smiled and said, "So you are here to visit Junior Brother Zhang Wuji. What are your names? I will take you up the mountain."

Xin Zhen said, "My name is Zhou Yan, and this is my sister Zhou Zhiruo. What is your name, Taoist priest?"

The young Taoist priest smiled and said, "I am Xiao Dao Qing Jing, so I cannot be called Taoist Priest. You two can just call me Xiao Dao Qing Jing, or Xiao Dao Shi. Both are fine."

Qing Jing Xiao Dao was quite talkative, asking questions all the way. Zhou Zhiruo asked about Zhang Wuji's condition, and Qing Jing Xiao Dao said, "Last year, our Grand Master brought Junior Brother Wuji down the mountain to seek medical treatment. When he came back, he was already in great shape. After about half a year, the remaining poison had been eliminated, and he became Master Yu's disciple half a year ago."

Xin Zhen was delighted when he heard this, "That's great. Yes, is Yu Sanxia in good health? I heard from the real person that there is a way to treat him. How is he now?"

Hearing this, Qing Jing shook his head and said, "Grand Master went out half a year ago and hasn't come back yet. Third Uncle's situation hasn't changed much. Well, it's not that there hasn't been any change. After Junior Brother Wu Ji became Third Uncle's disciple, Third Uncle actually likes going out more and smiles more often."

Xin Zhen secretly thought that maybe Ah Er Ah San had not been recruited by King Ruyang, so Zhang Sanfeng had to go to the King Kong Gate in the Western Regions to ask for the Black Jade Ointment, so he had not returned for half a year. Xin Zhen did not think that Zhang Sanfeng would fall into trouble. With Zhang Sanfeng's martial arts and a hundred years of experience, he would not be calculated.

After going to the quiet path, Xin Zhen and his companions went up to the Wudang Sect's dojo. As soon as they got there, they saw the magnificent Zhenwu Hall. Xin Zhen praised, "It is indeed a sect that is the leader of the martial arts world. It is truly magnificent."

Taoist Qingjing smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise, the two of you wait a moment, I will go and inform Junior Brother Wuji right away."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Master Qingjing, please do as you please."

The quiet path was like the wind, and soon a young man came running over, his face full of joy. He saw Xin Zhen and Zhou Zhiruo from a distance, and shouted, "Brother Zhou, sister Zhiruo, you finally came to see me!"

The person who came was Zhang Wuji. Xin Zhen looked at Zhang Wuji carefully and saw that Zhang Wuji had a ruddy complexion and was quite tall. He was no longer like the skinny, green-faced sickly child he had been more than a year ago.

Zhang Wuji ran closer and saw the burly Xin Zhen and the young Zhou Zhiruo. He slowed down and asked in surprise, "How come Brother Zhou has grown up so quickly? And Sister Zhiruo has grown so big too?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Wuji, haven't you grown up too?"

Wuji looked at himself and laughed, "That's right, I've grown up, and everyone has grown up, it's great, it's great."

The three of them burst into laughter.

Perhaps Qingjing Xiaodao went to report to the others, and three of the Seven Heroes of Wudang came, but the others did not come because they were not on the mountain.

The people who came were Song Yuanqiao, Yu Daying and Mo Shenggu.

Song Yuanqiao was on the mountain because Zhang Sanfeng was not there, and he had to be in charge of the situation on the mountain.

Needless to say, Yu Daying was in poor health and seldom left his room, let alone went down the mountain. If Xin Zhen had not come this time, he probably would not have come out to meet the guests.

Mo Shenggu had just returned and happened to meet him.

Xin Zhen greeted the three Wudang heroes and looked at them carefully. Song Yuanqiao had gained some weight, his temples were slightly gray, and he was smiling, looking like a wealthy man.

Yu Daying was lying on a recliner and was carried out by two Taoist boys. Although he had a smile on his face, he was still depressed.

Mo Shenggu was a tall and strong man. Although he was only in his twenties, he had a thick beard and looked like he was in his thirties or forties.

Xin Zhen looked at the three people carefully, and the three people also looked at Xin Zhen carefully.

They naturally learned of Xin Zhen's identity from Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji. Although they were grateful to Xin Zhen for teaching Wuji martial arts and pointing out the way to heal Yu Daying's injury, they were still a little hesitant about Xin Zhen's identity.

But the moment they saw Xin Zhen, they understood why their master had such a good impression of Zhou Yan.
