Chapter 54 Return
Why were the Golden Snake Sword and the Golden Snake Cone buried in the deserted cave of Mount Hua? Why did Xia Xueyi carve the sword moves that could break the Five Ancestors of the Chess Immortal Sect on the stone wall? The reason is here.

In fact, if we look at the cause and effect, Xia Xueyi's tragic ending was the result of his own actions.
Huang Sixi asked, "So, He Hongyao attacked you, Master Huang, in order to torture you for Xia Xueyi's whereabouts?"

"It's for Xia Xueyi!"

Taoist Huang Mu felt that he had suffered an unprovoked disaster: "He Hongyao's love for Xia Xueyi has turned into hatred. She has reached a mad level. Mr. Huang, once she finds out that the old Taoist has escaped from the Poison Dragon Cave, she will definitely hunt him down by any means necessary."

Huang Sixi knew clearly that although he helped Taoist Huang Mu escape from the Poison Dragon Cave, the crisis was not over.

The Five Poison Sect members are rampant in Yunnan and no one dares to provoke them. They are used to being brutal and domineering. Now that their Lingshe Mountain forbidden area was taken away by Huang Sixi, they will definitely retaliate.

As long as Huang Sixi stays in Yunnan and Yunnan, he will be attacked by the Five Poison Sect members at any time.

Even if he left Yunnan, He Hongyao, who had been deceived by Xia Xueyi and became mentally ill, would probably continue to hunt him down relentlessly.

He asked Taoist Huang Mu, "In your opinion, when will the news of the incident in the Poison Dragon Cave be reported back to the Five Poison Sect headquarters?"

Taoist Huang Mu answered him: "It can be as long as three to five days, or as short as one or two days!"

He had his reasons for his judgment: "The Five Poison Sect would provide supplies to the disciples stationed in the Poison Dragon Cave every few days. He Hongyao would also go to the Poison Dragon Cave regularly to torture the old Taoist priest. Calculating the time, she has not visited the Poison Dragon Cave for half a month. She should come in the next two days!"

It has been raining for the past half month, so He Hongyao has not gone out.

"I know a trick of disguise!"

Huang Sixi suggested: "I wonder if Master Huang is willing to change his appearance and travel?"

Huang Sixi himself was not afraid of the Five Poison Sect, but he needed to ensure the safety of Taoist Huang Mu.

Although he successfully obtained the Sword of Abstaining from Killing, the sword inscription on the relics of the famous master showed that he had to stop the killing of the disciples in Xiandu in order to inherit the martial arts heritage.

This matter can be done without any omissions if it is assigned to Taoist Huangmu. As the leader of Xiandu Sect, he can recall all Xiandu disciples in a short period of time and forcibly suppress all the feuds in the martial arts world.

Therefore, Huang Sixi needed to escort Taoist Huang Mu to Longhu Temple in Xiandu Mountain.

"There is no problem with disguising yourself. I know this is just a temporary solution."

Taoist Huang Mu pointed behind his shoulder and said, "But there are two iron hooks nailed to my scapula. Even if I put on a cloak, it can't cover it."

His iron hook was extremely eye-catching, and once the Five Poison Sect members saw it, they would be able to guess his identity.

"Then take the hook off first!"

Huang Sixi said: "First, I will treat the injury on the back of your shoulder. When your martial arts recover slowly, it will be more convenient for you to travel."

When Hu Guinan heard this, he stood up to check on Taoist Huang Mu's injuries.

He said pessimistically, "Sir, the iron hook has been embedded in Master Huang's shoulder for too long. We cannot remove it hastily. We must prepare a large amount of wound medicine and find an experienced doctor in the clinic to remove it. Otherwise, the bone injury will be aggravated and his martial arts will never be restored."

Huang Sixi had no idea about scapula injuries, so he asked curiously, "Have you seen similar injuries before?"

Hu Guinan nodded: "I have seen this several times. Because of the wrong treatment method, the scapula was broken and the martial arts were completely ruined."

Taoist Huang Mu has decades of experience in the martial arts world, and he knows his own injuries better than anyone else: "Even if the hook is safely removed, I still need to stay in bed and rest. If I move violently, I'm afraid all my efforts will be wasted."

This puts them in a dilemma.

If he did not remove the iron hook and let Taoist Huang Mu carry it with him on his journey, he would still have some strength and would not need to rest. He could follow Huang Sixi and Hu Guinan to break out, but his whereabouts would be easily exposed. If he took off the iron hook, his whereabouts could be hidden, but Taoist Huang Mu would have to stay in bed to recover and could not go anywhere.

Huang Sixi asked Hu Guinan again: "If we grind up an ice toad, can it make Master Huang recover immediately?"

Hu Guinan smiled bitterly, "My husband, the Ice Toad can at most keep Master Huang alive, so that he won't die from excessive blood loss after the iron hook is removed, but he still needs to stay in bed for a long time to heal his wounds."

Huang Sixi pondered for a moment and made a decision: "Let's leave Yundian first, and wait until we are far away from the Five Poison Sect's territory before considering whether to pull out the iron hook!"

Taoist Huang Mu heard that he was so worried about him, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Huang, I have never met you before, but you have treated me so well. I am really sorry. Please tell me the truth. Why did you rescue me like this?"

Huang Sixi said, "I just said that I have some connection with Taoist Master Jutan. His abstinence knife is of great use to me, so I would take the risk to enter the Poison Dragon Cave!"

Huang Sixi casually inserted the Killing Knife into his waist, so that he could use it as a flying sword like the iron sword.

After listening to his words, Taoist Huangmu felt that there was something else he hadn't told, but he was unwilling to reveal it, and Taoist Huangmu didn't dare to continue asking.

In fact, no matter what the real situation is, this rescue is a great favor.

Taoist Huang Mu thought: "No matter whether I can return to Xiandu Sect alive or not, I must find a way to pass the news to my disciples and let them repay Mr. Huang for his kindness."

After discussing this, the three of them began to rest.

The next day, before daybreak, they set off on horseback.

In order to avoid being targeted by the Five Poison Sect's spies, they avoided taking the official roads and did not stay overnight in towns or cities when passing through.

With such caution, they successfully left Yunnan and entered Sichuan a few days later.

Dali is located in the northern part of Yunnan and Yunnan, only one or two hundred miles away from Sichuan and Shu, so the distance is not far.

However, after they entered Sichuan, due to the extremely bumpy road, the wound on the back of Taoist Huang Mu's shoulder began to bleed, and his body became increasingly weak.

Taoist Huang Mu did not want to drag down Huang Sixi and Hu Guinan, so he gritted his teeth and persisted along the way, never mentioning his injuries.

It was not until he fell off the horse that Huang Sixi and Hu Guinan realized that his injuries had worsened.

"Husband, we can't go any further. We must find a clinic as soon as possible to remove the iron hook and treat him!" Hu Guinan felt that if they continued on their way without caring about anything, the Taoist priest's life would surely be in danger.

"Then go into the city and hire a famous doctor for him!"

Huang Sixi is no stranger to the road conditions.

When he came from Shaanxi five years ago, he passed by the nearby area. It is a small county town located at the southern end of Sichuan. There is a river flowing outside the city, and the waterway is relatively smooth.

He suddenly came up with an idea: "This area is adjacent to the Yangtze River. After we remove the iron hook for Master Huang, we can hire a boat and take the river to Jiangnan. Master Huang can also recover on the boat!"

Hu Guinan immediately smiled and agreed, "My husband is right! The Xiandu Sect's headquarters is located in the mountainous area of northern Zhejiang. We can take a boat eastward and send him directly back to his hometown. During the voyage, his injuries may be completely recovered!"

Of course, the premise is that the Five Poison Sect has not tracked their whereabouts, otherwise they will face siege if they stay in the county.

 Thank you all for voting. Please continue to support me. Thank you.
