Chapter 158 Meeting
Chapter 158 Meeting
After having breakfast at the inn, they set off for Nangong Divine Sect together with the Nangong disciples who came to greet them.
After two hours of trekking, they finally arrived at the foot of Shennong Mountain.
Nangong Min couldn't hide his excitement. He pointed to the top of the mountain and said excitedly: "Ah Jin, look, that's where I have lived since I was a child."
Mu Jin looked in the direction of Nangong Min's finger and saw the mansion on the top of Shennong Mountain, looming on the top of Shennong Mountain.
Although the mansion could not be described as majestic and magnificent, the solemn and sacred atmosphere it exuded demonstrated the glory and noble status of Nangong Shenzong.
Because there is a poisonous fog on the way to Nangong Shenzong. Except for the people of Nangong Shenzong, no outsiders can use Nangong Shenzong's elixirs. If they rashly enter, they will either die or be injured. This is why no outsiders dared to rashly enter Shennong Mountain and cause trouble for Nangong Shenzong in the past few hundred years.
Before preparing to go up the mountain, the disciples of Nangong Divine Sect gave Mu Jin and Su Yi each a special pill.
This pill can block the toxicity of the poisonous fog and protect them from moving freely in the poisonous fog.
The residence of Nangong Shenzong was built according to the terrain of Shennong Mountain. It has been the result of the hard work of dozens of generations of Nangong people from hundreds of years ago to the present.
A few people walked to the foot of the mountain, and a solemn stone gate appeared in front of them.
Written on it are four large characters "Nangong Shenzong". Nangong Min introduced that these were carved by the first leader of Nangong Shenzong himself with his sword.
The bluestone road up the mountain, as well as the lush trees and colorful flowers, make people feel happy just by looking at them.
Nangong Min held Mu Jin's hand along the way, pointing here and there and introducing things to Mu Jin.
"Ajin, look over there, that's the medicine garden of our Nangong Divine Sect. There are many rare spiritual herbs and immortal medicines planted in it, all of which are important materials that are indispensable for the daily practice and alchemy of our Nangong Divine Sect disciples. And some of the herbs are quite similar to the herbs planted in the medicine garden you repaired when you were in the capital."
Mu Jin looked curiously in the direction of Nangong Min's finger, and saw a lush green medicinal garden extending to the foot of the mountain. All kinds of magical herbs and medicines of strange shapes were thriving in it, emitting a faint fragrance.
She couldn't help but think of the legend that there was no disease that Nangong Shenzong could not cure. Perhaps it had a lot to do with the medicinal herbs they planted. This made Mu Jin very interested in that medicinal garden.
Mu Jin asked Nangong Min: "Can outsiders enter the herb garden?"
Nangong Min smiled and said, "I will take you wherever Ah Jin wants to go."
The Nangong disciple who was leading the way in front was shocked when he heard the conversation between Nangong Min and Mu Jin.
After all, according to the palace rules of all dynasties, outsiders were not allowed to enter the medicine garden, but since their young master said so, they couldn't say anything.
Continuing forward, they passed by a towering ancient tree. Under the tree, there was a group of disciples who looked like children, meditating and practicing martial arts.
Nangong Min saw Mu Jin looking over curiously and explained to her in a gentle voice.
"When I was a child, my grandmother told me that this tree has a history of thousands of years and has existed since the first generation of Nangong Divine Sect. Moreover, this tree is quite spiritual and medicinal. If you practice martial arts here for a long time, you will not feel tired. Therefore, on weekdays, the disciples of the sect will come here to practice martial arts and meditate."
Mu Jin couldn't help but nod after hearing this, and he also thought that it was not unreasonable for the world to regard the people of Nangong Divine Sect as immortals.
Not only do they have excellent medical skills and can bring the dead back to life, but the place where they live is surrounded by mountains and mist. From a distance, it really does feel like there is a fairyland.
After Su Yi went up the mountain, he walked behind Nangong Min and Mu Jin without saying a word. This was his second time stepping into the territory of Nangong Divine Sect.
Su Yi came here once with his master when he was a child. At that time, he walked all over Shennong Mountain by himself. His master even punished him for wandering alone.
Nangong Min and Mu Jin were walking and talking, and before they knew it they had reached the top of Shennong Mountain. What came into their sight was the residence of Nangong Shenzong.
The gate of the mansion was open, and the senior disciples of the sect were waiting to greet them. When they saw Nangong Min, they all bowed and called him Young Master.
Nangong Min held Mu Jin's hand and walked into the mansion together. The mansion was full of simple and elegant atmosphere. The disciples in the mansion also greeted them respectfully.
Nangong Yun was sitting above the sect master in the main hall. On his left stood a young woman, looking at Nangong Min with tears in her eyes. On his right stood several people with young faces and white hair, who should be the elders Nangong Min mentioned before.
Seeing Nangong Min come in, the woman quickly ran to Nangong Min and hugged him tightly.
"Cousin! You're finally back. Ling'er and grandma are missing you like crazy."
Seeing this, Mu Jin couldn't help but gently pull away Nangong Min's hand. She took two steps back, feeling a little unhappy in her heart, but watching the scene with a smile on her face.
Su Yi's face, which had been gloomy since this morning, finally curled up at this moment, and returned to his usual expression of watching a show without minding any trouble.
The moment Bai Ling'er ran over quickly and hugged Nangong Min, Nangong Min instinctively pushed Bai Ling'er away.
Nangong Min looked embarrassed. He turned to look at Mu Jin, then turned back to look at Bai Ling'er. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Cousin, let me go to see my grandmother first, and then I'll tell you!"
Bai Ling'er knew that she had just been too emotional and rushed towards Nangong Min in public. Looking back now, she felt that it was really impolite.
She blushed, feeling a little ashamed, and turned around and walked quickly to Nangong Yun's side. She lowered her head and shyly called Nangong Yun "Grandma".
Seeing Bai Ling'er's shy look, Nangong Yun didn't think there was anything wrong with her behavior just now. She took Bai Ling'er's hand lovingly and patted it with a smile.
Nangong Min took a few steps forward and knelt in front of Nangong Yun: "Grandma, the unfilial son Nangong Min is back."
Nangong Yun had tears in his eyes, but he smiled and raised his hand to signal Nangong Min to stand up.
"Min'er, you're finally back. Grandma thought I would never see you again in this life."
Nangong Min stood up and looked at Nangong Yun, who had white hair but a ruddy face and was in good spirits, and said, "What are you talking about, grandma? Isn't your grandson standing in front of you now? I've come back to see you, haven't I?"
Nangong Yun wiped her tears gently, dragged Nangong Min to sit beside her, and said.
"Alas! I never thought that your parents' kindness almost caused our Nangong Divine Sect to become extinct. Fortunately, God bless you, you are still alive. Otherwise, our Nangong Divine Sect would have no successor."
Nangong Min couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of his dead parents, but soon he spoke to Nangong Yun in a serious manner.
"Don't worry, grandma. I will find Nangong Ce and kill him to avenge my father and mother."
Nangong Yun heard this, but shook his head and said to Nangong Min: "You don't need to go find him. Grandmother has issued a hunting order for him, and he won't have an easy life. You should stay in Nangong Divine Sect, get married, have a few great-grandchildren to accompany your grandmother, and then continue to carry forward Nangong Divine Sect."
When Nangong Min heard Nangong Yun say this, he couldn't help but feel stiff behind his back as he thought about leaving Nangong Divine Sect with Mu Jin soon.
