Hidden moth

Chapter 133: The Phoenix Tail Hidden in the Seven-Ping Cave

Is Yang Lingxi willing? Of course she is willing. The person who comes is a legendary fifth-level warlock. It feels like a drowning person grabbing a lifebuoy.

How could such a good thing happen to her? Although Yu Shangzheng explained it, Yang Lingxi still had her doubts, but no matter what, such an opportunity could not be missed...

He Kaozi didn't know about this episode.

Xiaopang was very excited. He felt unsatisfied after just a few quick words during the day, so he dragged him out for a beer and chat in the evening, telling him about his recent cultivation experiences with Director Meng.

He Kao felt a little embarrassed because many colleagues in the department were still working overtime, and the senior manager hadn't left yet. Although the team's mission had been completed, they still had to pretend to dawdle for a while.

Why are you talking so loudly when you're already drinking beer at 5:30? Where should we go? Let's go to the pedestrian street near Sesame Apartment. That's a good place to drink and brag.

He hadn't walked far out of the office building when he suddenly saw a slender figure in front of him. He leaned forward and called out, "Wei Luo!"

The person turned around and it was indeed the girl he had met twice before. After returning from his trip abroad this time, He Kao was planning to find time to look for her. The last time he saw her badge, she should be working in a nearby company.

Wei Luo asked doubtfully, "Do you know me?"

Well, she actually came with someone she didn’t know.

The second time we met was on the street opposite the company. He Kao was disguised at that time, so it was normal that I couldn't recognize him.

But the first time they met, He Kao was sending a classmate to the high-speed rail station. At that time, he was in his true colors, not even wearing a mask. But then I thought, the fifth-level people who ask for directions are often in a special state. They don't even know the road, let alone people.

He Kao introduced himself: "My name is He Kao, I used to..."

Before he could finish his words, Wei Luo exclaimed in a low voice: "Oh, you are He Kao? I heard someone introduce you to me a long time ago. After I came to Qiyuan, I was thinking about when to find you."

He Kao was startled: "You're looking for me?"

Wei Luo smiled a little embarrassedly: "Someone told me that if I go to Qiyuan, I can find you and provide food and accommodation. But I don't need to bother anyone, and I have found a job, so I'm not in a hurry."

Fatty Huang was watching with his eyes wide open. He then stepped forward and waved, "What are you two talking about? Is there someone here you haven't seen? Xiaokao, who is this beautiful lady?"

He Kao quickly introduced, "This is my colleague Huang Si, nicknamed Xiaopang... This is the child of an elder, and he's also recently started working at Qiyuan. The elder asked me to take good care of him when I met him. I didn't expect to see him here today."

Wei Luo spoke directly and asked, "I heard that you would treat me to a meal, is that true?"

He Kao smiled and said, "Of course it's true. It can be done anytime... Why not today?"

Wei Luo nodded happily and said, "Okay!"

He Kao turned his head and said, "Xiaopang, I have something urgent to do here. I'll drink with you next time."

Xiaopang leaned close to He Kao's ear and said, "You're forgetting your friends for the sake of beauty!"

He Kao also whispered, "Are you talking about yourself?"

Xiaopang turned and left, and He Kao reminded him from behind, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Xiaopang waved his hand and said, "I'm full, let's go back to work overtime!"

He Kao sent Xiaopang away because what he and Wei Luo wanted to say wasn't suitable for Xiaopang to overhear. And when it comes to forgetting friends for the sake of beauty, Xiaopang himself is the typical example. He's been nowhere to be seen every morning lately.

Turning around again, He Kao tried his best to act like a kind and amiable older brother, and asked with a smile, "Xiao Wei, what would you like to eat?"

Wei Luo: "My name is not Xiao Wei. When I was in my hometown, they all called me Xiao Luo."

He Kao: "So, Xiaoluo, what would you like to eat?"

If Xiaopang were still here, he would feel that this scene was like the Big Bad Wolf tricking Little Red Riding Hood. But He Kao himself didn't dare to think so. Wei Luo was a fifth-level Lingxi person. Who would dare to treat her as an ordinary girl?

Wei Luo: "You can go to places with lots of restaurants and pick one that suits your taste."

He Kao: "Okay, I know there's a pedestrian street nearby that's full of restaurants." Then he seemed to remember something and changed his tone, "If you want to eat any specific dishes, I can also recommend you a better place."

Wei Luo: "A pedestrian street full of hotels? Okay, let's go there."

The characteristic of the restaurants on the pedestrian street is that they have a wide variety of food, ranging from all over the world, but they are usually not of too high a grade and the prices are not very expensive.

So He Kao mentioned the pedestrian street at first, and then changed his words, saying that they could go to other places, that is, those high-end restaurants. Unexpectedly, Wei Luo was still interested in the pedestrian street.

He Kao finally arrived at the pedestrian street near Zhima Apartment, but his companion had changed from Xiaopang to Wei Luo. Wei Luo looked a little silly, with a pair of curious big eyes, and he loved to take a second look at everything.

This girl is also interesting. She met He Kao by chance on the street. It looked like she didn't know him, but after hearing him introduce himself, she actually followed him.

The man who took her away was a grown man. Isn’t she afraid that he would cheat her?
He Kao walked with her for half a street before asking, "Xiao Luo, is there anything you're interested in?"

Wei Luo stopped and saw a snack bar next to her. She pointed and said, "Is this the one?"

I looked up and saw a stall selling spicy hot pot. This isn't a local specialty, but a local snack from a neighboring province in the north. It's usually only served for breakfast, but in places like pedestrian streets, they'll be open in the evenings as long as there are customers.

He Kao was originally prepared to spend a lot of money, but Wei Luo chose the pedestrian street, which seemed to save him money, but he didn't expect it to be so economical.

Just eating this? Even if you eat till death, you won’t spend more than 100 yuan!

He Kao: "This is just a snack, usually served for breakfast, are you sure? There's a specialty teppanyaki restaurant up ahead, the taste is also pretty good." The restaurant he recommended was already the most expensive on this pedestrian street.

Wei Luo: "This is it. I can smell it. It looks delicious."

That's all she wanted. The two of them went into the spicy soup restaurant and ordered a bowl of spicy soup with the signature scallion pancake and six beef dumplings. The total cost was only 41 yuan after scanning the code. After sitting down, He Kao started talking about business. While stirring the spicy soup with a spoon, he asked, "Xiao Luo, how did you know my name?"

Wei Luo glanced at him curiously. "Don't you know it yourself? You are already the most famous Zhiyuanke in the current martial arts sect. Anyway, I have heard about you in my hometown."

He Kao: "Where are you from?"

Wei Luo: "Zhouyuan Province, Hanning City, Shanping County."

He Kao was startled and quickly asked, "Fengwei Township?"

Wei Luo nodded and said, "It's Fengwei Township."

He Kao: "Which village are you from?"

Wei Luo: "I'm from Fengwei Township, where the township government is located, which is a big village... By the way, I heard that you know my master. Have you seen him recently?"

He Kao: "I met him a while ago, but he said he had something to do and left. Before he left, he asked me to tell you that if I see you in Qiyuan, I should tell you not to look for him and to stay in this area to gain experience.

He also told me to take care of you if you have any problems."

Wei Luo grinned and said, "Thank you! Actually, I knew it a long time ago. Master wanted me to come here to gain experience. Is it because of his request that you invited me to dinner?"

He Kao: "We're friends now that we know each other. Treating you to a meal is nothing."

Wei Luo said innocently, "Master said that you can provide food and accommodation."

He Kao thought calmly for half a second, then replied in a very affirmative tone, "Of course that's no problem."

Wei Luo: "Did you receive any benefits from him?"

He Kao: "He has taken good care of me since I was a child, and recently gave me a lot of good things, such as ninety-nine 23-year-old jadeite sycamore seeds.

Even without these, you are his disciple, so you should be taken care of."

Wei Luo smiled happily: "The old man was just joking, you don't have to take it seriously... Oh, this spicy soup is really delicious, and the scallion pancakes are delicious too."

He Kao also laughed: "So this is what you like? That would be easy to feed!"

Wei Luo said a little embarrassedly: "I just feel that many things in the world can be tasted uniquely. For example, this bowl of spicy soup can taste many places, many environments, as well as different people's thoughts and various ideas."

Fortunately, Old Man Jiang gave He Kao the complete inheritance of the seven major arts, so he barely understood this sentence.

Wei Luo's point is about the origins of the various ingredients in Hu La Tang, their growth processes and environments, and the care and consideration that goes into their processing...

Awesome!

But He Kao was focused on something else. He asked doubtfully, "The human world? Are you a fairy who descended from heaven?"

Wei Luo shook his head and said, "Of course not! I've spent most of these years cultivating in Jinghua Cave Heaven. There aren't so many delicious foods there, and the flowers and plants don't have so many flavors."

He Kao: "I've only seen Jinghuaping on the map. It's a village. What exactly is Jinghuadongtian?"

Wei Luo: "Don't you know? There are seven villages further up the mountain in Fengwei Township, known as Fengwei Qiping in ancient times. Each of the seven major sects has a blessed cave, and the ancestral hall is located there.

Our Lingxi Sect's ancestral hall is located in Jinghua Cave Heaven in Jinghuaping. Jinghua Cave Heaven is huge, larger than the entire Fengwei Township, but there are not many people inside, so it's quite boring to stay there..."

Old Man Jiang had not told He Kao these secrets. But He Kao only needed to eat a bowl of spicy soup to find out from Wei Luo that each of the seven major sects had a paradise, namely -

The Jinghua Cave of Lingxi Sect
Pijing Cave Heaven of Guanshen Gate
The Book Viewing Cave of Ruweimen
Yujing Cave Heaven of Xinpan Sect
Dandingmen's Xianhu Cave Heaven
Dengyun Cave Heaven at Wangqimen
Fengyu Cave of Xingshenmen
He Kao is, after all, a young man of the information age. He has read so many fantasy novels for a reason, and he can understand the concept of the so-called blessed land and cave paradise. He didn't expect that such a place really exists in the world.

He Kao couldn't help but become very interested and learned a lot of information from Wei Luo.

For example, in a few days, Qian Guran would have to go to the sect's ancestral hall. First, he would have to reach Caiping Village, register at the clan law hall, then cross mountains and ridges to find Dengyunping, and then enter Dengyun Cave Heaven...

Now there is a shortcut. You can take a car through Caiping Village to Fengwei Township, and then go east from Fengwei Township through four tunnels to reach Dengyunping Village.

However, according to the tradition of the sect, when going to the Ancestral Temple for the first time, one cannot take this shortcut. One must take the ancient road in the mountains, which is the road that the predecessors of all generations have taken.

He Kao asked a question that concerned him the most: "I just heard recently that 1,200 years ago, there was a lineage called Yin Mo in the Shu Sect. So, does the Yin Mo Sect have a blessed land and cave heaven?"

Wei Luo, who was tearing scallion pancakes by hand, looked up at him and said, "I heard that your father was the Hidden Moth from twenty years ago. No wonder you are interested in this.

Coincidentally, I asked my master about this before, but he said it was an unsolved case in the art world."

He Kao: "Unsolved case?"

Wei Luo: "Yes, it's an unsolved case because no one knows the answer. According to legend, the seven major sects all have it, and the Hidden Moth Sect should have it as well, but there is no record of the Hidden Moth Sect owning a cave heaven, so there are no clues to find.

Even after the Yinniang and Woodcutter Rebellion, it is not impossible that no information on this matter has been passed down. It is very likely that there is no information. Otherwise, with so many senior masters throughout the ages, they would have been able to find some clues.

There is another piece of evidence. The name Fengwei Qiping was used long before the Yinniang Rebellion. Why not call it Fengwei Baping? It is entirely possible to include Piaocai Ping as well. That would make it eight!
Maybe it’s because there is no cave in Yin’e Gate, and Fengwei Qiping refers to seven caves.

"Master once speculated that each of the seven great sects possessed a cave heaven, and that the Hidden Moth Sect possessed something called a hidden moth. I'm afraid only a true hidden moth would know what this is all about."

Only the Hidden Moth knows? He Kao is the first "True Moth" in 1,200 years, but he can swear that he really knows nothing! So there are such secrets in the art. No wonder there are always people who keep an eye on the Hidden Moth and won't give up.
