Chapter 230
Leaving Bijin Mountain
After that group left, Black Hawk, seeing everyone's curiosity, took the initiative to explain what had happened.
Emma and Vikram, the two foreigners, were immediately filled with awe and admiration for Eastern metaphysics, and they pestered Master Zhidu with a whole host of questions.
Even someone as good-natured as Master Zhidu eventually got annoyed by the questions and quickly changed the subject.
"Esteemed patrons, should we wait for the crowd to disperse before descending the mountain, or should we devise another way to get down?"
Yun Li glanced at the crowd below, which hadn't dwindled, and said calmly, "I'll go down tonight."
With the cover of night, she moved with the wind and would not be discovered.
Vikram chimed in, "I'll wait until tonight too."
Xiao Hong can teleport, but the teleportation distance is not far; he will probably land in the crowd below, which is why he is not leaving now.
By nightfall, even if he blends into the crowd, they might not be able to see him clearly, and he can simply teleport away quickly.
Emma, twirling her umbrella, added, "I'm leaving tonight too."
Han Xi frowned and looked down. Jumping from this height would definitely be dangerous in other places, but here there was a sandy area below, so there was no danger.
But if she wants to land safely, she must use a fox's body. The problem is that foxes are quite large and conspicuous, making it impossible for them to go unnoticed.
"I plan to blend into the crowd over there and walk down the mountain path," Black Hawk said.
Upon hearing this, Han Xi wondered why she hadn't thought of that. She could have easily blended into the crowd and gone down the mountain openly, since apart from a few government officials who had received her, no one else recognized her.
She clapped her hands and said, "That's a good idea. I'll go down the mountain path too."
Master Zhidu smiled awkwardly and looked at Yun Li, "Young benefactor, may I ask you to take me down with you tonight?"
Most people in Xiangcheng recognize his face; it would be impossible for him to blend into the crowd and descend the mountain.
Yun Li glanced at him and nodded.
Emma looked at Black Hawk, thought for a moment, and said, "I want to get down the mountain as soon as possible. I don't want to wait until nightfall. Wu Yougong, I'll go down the mountain with you too."
"No way!" Zhi Du disagreed. "Emma, you and Vikram can't blend into the crowd. Although there are many foreigners in Xiangcheng, they are still a minority. Your appearance will definitely attract everyone's attention."
Upon hearing this, Emma felt proud. Indeed, with her beauty and elegance, she was bound to attract attention—a sweet dilemma indeed.
She raised her hand and gracefully touched her face. "Old monk, you're right. To avoid causing a commotion, I'd better go down the mountain quietly tonight."
Black Hawk looked at Zhao Xu and Jiang Ting, who were still unconscious, and asked, "I can carry Zhao Xu down the mountain, but Jiang Ting, which of you can take her down?"
Emma turned her head away, looking away. She could bring it, but she didn't want to.
Vikram: "Little Red can only bring one person at a time."
Han Xi said somewhat embarrassedly, "My injury hasn't healed yet, I'm afraid I won't be able to carry it down the mountain."
Master Zhidu smiled and looked at Yun Li. Yun Li understood his meaning, "I'll lead them!"
In any case, she still needs to gather the scattered supernatural energy within her body.
"Young benefactor, you are extremely kind."
An hour later, Black Hawk carried Zhao Xu and Han Xi away. Yun Li looked at Han Xi's back with regret, wondering why he wasn't a pure beast.
As night fell, Emma leaned close to Yun Li and said, "I'm about to leave. Can you tell me where you live? I'll come visit you later."
Yun Li: "Having no fixed abode."
Emma was deeply disappointed and could only say, "Friend, I believe in our destiny. Even if we part now, we will meet again someday."
Yun Li nodded, "Yes!"
After greeting Chido and Vikram, Emma released a pair of wings and flew away towards the distance of the cliff.
After a while, Yun Li was also ready to leave. He carried Jiang Ting on his back, and after saying goodbye to Zhi Du and Vikram, he took the initiative to walk to Yun Li's side.
Yun Li nodded to Vikram, grabbed Master Zhidu's arm, and a tornado rose from the ground and moved into the distance.
As the night deepened, Vikram also left Bijin Mountain.
……
Those who climbed Bijin Mountain explored almost every part of it.
Aside from finding multiple corpses, they found none of the fantastical people, beasts, or rare treasures they had imagined, leaving them utterly disappointed and their dreams of cultivating immortality shattered.
Even so, everyone firmly believed that Bijin Mountain was different from other places and was certain that something unknown must have happened there.
Even though they found nothing, they didn't leave; they planned to dig three feet into the ground.
Some even suggested hollowing out Bijin Mountain, claiming with certainty that there must be treasures inside.
This proposal startled the government. They knew the truth: there was no treasure at all; it was just a contest of magical abilities between extraordinary individuals.
Perhaps the affairs of extraordinary people are also things that cannot be discussed.
The only explanation we can use is through newspapers and television to explain that the series of strange events that occurred at Bijin Mountain are all natural phenomena.
As for those who died, they were elites they had invited from various countries with bounties, specifically to capture the murderers of the Min family.
Most of them have died in Bijin Mountain. They must have discovered something and were silenced by the murderer.
People saw the explanations in the newspapers and on television, but no one believed them anymore; they all accused the newspapers of trying to cover up the truth.
A lot of rotten vegetable leaves were smashed in front of major newspapers and TV stations.
They really think they're idiots. Even if they don't know what happened at Bijin Mountain, they've personally touched the barrier surrounding it.
A small number of people know that the barrier is an array, but most people don't.
The small group of people who knew about it were almost entirely members of the local gangs.
Knowing this, the gangsters, who already believed in fate and luck, became even more awe-inspiring towards metaphysics.
The two Taoist priests, Huang and Liu, were immediately treated as royalty by various gangs, with money and treasures being sent to them in an endless stream.
The gang leader bluntly stated: "Money is so easy to make; gangsters are much more generous than the wealthy."
My wish to lie flat has finally come true.
He decided that after being discharged from the hospital, he would erect a longevity tablet for the little girl Leidian.
The series of events that occurred at Bijin Mountain made those who cared about it feel very unlucky.
Therefore, the wealthy and political figures who originally lived here have all expressed their unwillingness to return.
This delighted some people. After receiving confirmation, Bijin Mountain was occupied by a total of six gangs, large and small.
Among them was the Flying Dragon Gang. Brother Long originally wanted to choose the Min residence, but his underlings stopped him, saying that the place was unlucky.
Brother Long wasn't the type to make decisions unilaterally, and seeing that his underlings weren't willing, he gave up on the idea.
Other gang leaders also knew that the Bijinshan incident originated from the Min family, and none of them wanted the house.
Finally, apart from the Min family's house being vacant, all the houses on Bijin Mountain had new owners, with some powerful individuals directly occupying two houses.
Those who wanted to dig into the belly of Bijin Mountain to find unknown things suddenly lost their chance and dared not confront the gangsters head-on, and could only sigh at the mountain.
The Hong Kong government finally breathed a sigh of relief.
