The Path to Immortality of Silly Pillar in the Courtyard

Yilin was stunned. She didn't know why this handsome young man would ask such a question, but she still answered honestly, "Benefactor, it is now the fifteenth year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty."

"Oh, so this is the Ming Dynasty." He Yuzhu nodded.

"Is that Junior Sister Yilin...?" A voice suddenly came, and then a man wearing a straw hat came running from a distance, arriving in front of the two in a moment.

The newcomer was tall and slender, dressed in a yellow and white robe, with a handsome face, and carrying a sword, looking every bit the chivalrous knight.

After stopping, the man's gaze was drawn to He Yuzhu, who was sized up from head to toe. He then looked at Yilin and asked, "Are you Junior Sister Yilin?"

"Yes, who are you?" Eileen asked the man curiously.

"I am Linghu Chong from Mount Hua!" he said, a proud look on his face.

"Ah, it's Senior Brother Linghu." Yilin smiled sweetly.

"Linghu Chong." He Yuzhu smiled, seeing him in person.

"You are...?" Linghu Chong asked He Yuzhu. It was the first time he had seen such a strangely dressed young man with such short hair. Could he also be a little monk?

"My surname is He..." He Yuzhu only said his surname.

"Brother He, your attire doesn't seem to suit someone from the Central Plains."

"I am from Qingzhou." He Yuzhu was not lying; he was from Qingzhou in his previous life.

"Qingzhou? Which sect are you a disciple of?"

"I belong to no sect or school; I am merely a rogue cultivator."

"Oh, right, Junior Sister Yilin, you've gotten lost and your master is looking for you urgently."

Linghu Chong no longer paid attention to He Yuzhu; in his eyes, He Yuzhu was just a teenager.

"Oh no! I have to go find my master!" Yilin exclaimed, covering her mouth. She then realized that her master must be very worried about her disappearance.

"I'll go with you to find Abbess Dingyi," Linghu Chong volunteered.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Jing Linghu." After saying that, Yilin looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "He... Benefactor, would you like to come with us?"

"Forget it, I'm used to being free. You guys go ahead."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he turned and walked upstream along the riverbank. But after taking two steps, he suddenly remembered that he didn't know how to get to Hengshan. He wanted to turn back and ask, but he didn't.

He dislikes Linghu Chong intensely, both in the novel and now, but there's no reason why!

As Yilin watched He Yuzhu's retreating figure, her eyes suddenly reddened. "Benefactor He, I haven't thanked you for saving my life yet!" Yilin shouted loudly.

He Yuzhu simply waved his hand without replying.

"Junior Sister Yilin, are you in danger?" Linghu Chong asked anxiously.

"Mmm." Yilin nodded with a nasal tone.

"What happened? Who bullied you?"

"I was kidnapped by Tian Boguang, but He Benefactor saved me," Yilin said, bowing her head.

"What? Where is Tian Boguang?" Linghu Chong was startled and then asked loudly.

"He was beaten to death by Benefactor He."

Linghu Chong was taken aback upon hearing this, and said with an incredulous expression, "Um... Brother He actually managed to kill Tian Boguang?"

"Yes, Tian Boguang was no match for him; he was killed by Benefactor He in one move."

Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong was agitated. He stared at the boy's retreating figure and muttered, "How is this possible!"

He knew of Tian Boguang's reputation; that guy was known as the Lone Ranger, and his lightness skill and swordsmanship were among the best in the martial arts world. He had no confidence in defeating Tian Boguang, yet he was killed by this young man in one move.

Yilin is a nun and would never lie. When did such a person, so young, appear in the martial arts world?

…………

He Yuzhu walked slowly along the riverbank. He wanted to go to Hengshan to attend Liu Zhengfeng's "Golden Basin Washing Hands" ceremony, meet heroes from all over the world, and experience the charm of this martial arts world.

But he didn't know which way to go, and as he walked, he entered a valley. "Where the hell am I?"

He Yuzhu realized he had taken the wrong path and was about to turn back when he heard the sound of rushing water, which seemed to be a waterfall.

I just had a fight with Tian Boguang, so going to take a bath wouldn't be a bad idea.

It was indeed a clear pool of water. Upon reaching the edge, He Yuzhu immediately disarmed himself, taking off his shirt and pants, and then plunged in...

"Splash..." A black head emerged, with a head of jet-black hair floating on the water like a black waterfall. As it turned around, a face so beautiful that people dared not look directly at it appeared in the world.

This woman is so beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful, it takes your breath away.

The woman's age was indiscernible, but she was definitely not a young girl. Her eyes were fixed on the surging mermaid underwater, her bright red lips slightly upturned, and she softly uttered, "Interesting!"

He Yuzhu swam freely in the water, and as he swam, he saw a pair of snow-white lotus roots.

That's not lotus root, lotus root doesn't have...m...

"Splash..." He Yuzhu poked his head out, and then he froze!

After a long while, the woman in the water spoke, "Little one, have you seen enough?"

He Yuzhu wiped his face. "Look... um, sorry, I didn't see anything."

"Hehehe... Little one, look closely, I'm a woman!" the woman in the water chuckled.

"Damn it!" He Yuzhu thought to himself. Where did this woman come from? Her aura was too strong. She was so beautiful that it was suffocating, and her aura made it hard for him to breathe.

"Um... you go first." He Yuzhu said and slowly walked towards the shore, but he instantly felt a sense of unease, as if the world was about to end.

He was trying hard to recall which woman in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer possessed such a powerful aura; could it be a crossover martial arts world?

Just as He Yuzhu was about to reach the shore, a woman's voice came, "Come here..."

The two soft words made He Yuzhu stop immediately. Without turning his head, he asked, "Is...is something wrong?"

"Come and give me a back rub!" The voice brooked no argument.

He Yuzhu whirled around, a glint of shrewdness in his eyes. "Who are you? What makes you think I should scrub your back?"

The woman was taken aback; she hadn't expected the young man to speak to her in such a tone.

"You're the first person to raise their voice at me." The woman's groan was icy.

"You're also the first person to give me orders!" He Yuzhu's voice was just as cold.

The air froze instantly, and the fish underwater sensed the danger, then scurried into the hole to hide.

"call……"

"Swoosh..." The woman waved her snow-white arm, and three water arrows shot out, heading straight for He Yuzhu's face...

"Whoosh..." A curtain of water appeared, blocking the three water arrows that shot towards him. With a wave of his bronze arm, a flash of cold light disappeared!

Everything returned to calm, and the two people in the water looked at each other.

After a long while, the woman gently lifted a strand of hair floating on the water with her slender hands. "Hoo..."

A snow-white mermaid emerged from the water and flew onto a stone platform. With a turn of her figure, a long, blood-red dress was draped over the woman's body.

"We'll meet again someday, I'll remember you!" The voice fell, and the woman was already a hundred meters away. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared.
