Chapter 30 (Thirty) Gift of Flute
"Thank you, senior! But there are still two people waiting in the cave for me to chop wood..."
"Just go if I ask you to. Stay at my house for a few days and let me treat you well."
"Senior, I really have to go back to find them and I have to hurry. If you don't mind, I will visit you with them later!" Yan Moying said.
"That's not necessary. If you want to see me, you must come alone. I'm not used to crowds."
The more Yan Moying listened, the more puzzled he became. He said, "Then I'll take my leave!"
"Don't you want to know where I live?" the old man asked.
"This is the senior's private residence. It is not convenient for the junior to pry into it casually."
"I've already invited you to my house, why are you being so polite? You will definitely come to see me in the future."
"Oh..." Yan Moying was speechless for a moment.
"Do you know that you are different from ordinary people?"
"What's the difference?" Yan Moying asked curiously.
"You exude a mysterious energy, which is not something that everyone can detect. You have abilities different from those of ordinary people, but these abilities will not manifest without special conditions." The more Yan Moying listened, the more unreliable he felt. He really didn't know if this was a joke or if the old man had some mental problems. However, he saw the old man go back and forth several times in a short period of time, and each time he appeared and left without anyone noticing, which he thought was indeed strange, so he asked, "What do you mean, senior?"
"Since you are unwilling to come to my house, I can't judge. Perhaps your special ability can save Jingyin Country from future disasters. I will not live here in a few days. If you want to find me in the future, go to Guiying Peak on Jiulan Mountain and play this jade flute." As he said, the old man handed a small jade flute only as long as a finger to Yan Moying, and said: "Remember, when you come to see me, you can only be alone! Others must be at least five miles away!"
Yan Moying was about to say something while holding the jade flute when the old man immediately turned and ran away. He was so fast that he disappeared in the blink of an eye. Yan Moying wanted to ask more questions, but since the old man had gone far away and the cave needed firewood, and he didn't know how Yin Ruchen was doing, he put away the jade flute, picked up the chopped firewood and walked towards the cave.
Yan Moying returned to the cave, and the three of them rested for a long time. Yin Ruchen felt much better after regulating his breathing. The three of them ate something and sat around the fire talking.
Suddenly, a poisonous jackal rushed into the cave, opened its mouth and spurted blood, and ran towards Gao Cai. Yan Moying drew his sword, but before he could stab the poisonous jackal, Yin Ruchen's several wind darts had already hit its vital points. The poisonous jackal twitched a few times and fell to the ground dead.
The venomous jackal is a monster that poses a great threat to human life. It has long fangs in its mouth, eats meat, and often attacks humans after it smells the scent of humans.
Yan Moying and Gao Cai saw the venomous jackal for the first time and did not understand how dangerous it was. However, Yin Ruchen, who grew up in Jiulan Mountain, was very familiar with this monster and had encountered it before, so she acted very quickly and hit the vital point with her first move.
"What is this?" Gao Cai asked, pointing at the corpse of the venomous jackal.
"Venomous-toothed jackal. Very dangerous, its fangs are highly poisonous. It is very difficult to save a person if bitten by it! Only by hitting it in these specific places can you quickly subdue it. If you hit those non-vital places, not only will the effect be insignificant but it will also be easy for it to counterattack. You can remember the places I hit, so that it will be easier to deal with you if you encounter it again in the future." Yin Ruchen said as she pointed out the place where she had just attacked to them. Yan Moying was watching very carefully and remembered everything.
