On that day, Sima Shi was sitting in the study. He suddenly had an idea, so he hurried to find his father Sima Yi.
He said firmly: "Father, I decided to go to Kunlun Mountain to find those experts."
Sima Yi frowned, he looked at Sima Shi with concern and said, "Son, Kunlun Mountain is a dangerous place. There will be many risks if you go there. I don't want to worry about you going alone."
Sima Shi replied with a smile: "Father, I understand your concerns, but this task is very important to me. Only by finding that master will Dad be more valued by Cao Gong. I am willing to take risks and seek a glimmer of life for Dad."
Sima Yi sighed, knowing that his son is a man with firm beliefs.
He could not change Sima Shi's decision. He said softly: "Son, you must act carefully. Be vigilant at any time on Kunlun Mountain and do not trust strangers easily."
Sima Shi nodded solemnly, saying that he would pay attention to safety.
He stressed again: "Father, please rest assured, I will definitely act carefully, and I will complete the task smoothly."
Sima Yi looked at his son's firm gaze, and his heart was filled with pride and worry.
He knew that Sima Shi had grown into a person who could take responsibility, and he believed that his son could deal with various challenges.
This is what he has always hoped, not to always do business, but to consider the people of the world.
So, Sima Master prepared the necessary luggage.
He said goodbye to Sima Yi again.
Sima Yi said earnestly: "Son, no matter what difficulties and challenges you encounter, remember to maintain firm belief and courage. My father will always look forward to your safe return."
Sima Shi felt his father's affection and kindness, and he firmly replied: "Father, I will keep your teachings in mind and live up to your expectations. I will definitely complete the task smoothly and bring good news back."
They shook hands with each other, and then Sima Shi stepped out of the house and embarked on a journey to Kunlun Mountain.
On the other side, Jin Chang carried Xi Yu on his back and struggled to cross the rugged road on the mountainside. They felt the whirlwind of the mountain wind, and soon the ridicule of several young Taoist children came.
The little Taoist boys said mockingly: "You dare to break into our territory without authorization! You two are ready to pay the price!"
Xi Yu was on Jin Chang's back and said seriously: "We came for the people of the world. Please let Chunyu Tianhe secret guards come out."
The little Taoist boys disagreed and continued to laugh and said, "Let them come out? Do you think we will listen to you? It's too naive!"
Xi Yu looked at these little Taoist boys and knew that he had to take action.
He decided to show weakness, and he asked Jinchang to let him go.
Next, he actually made a shocking move
He knelt on the ground and expressed his sincerity and determination.
He said, "I, I don't know why I was murdered. Please believe that I came true for the people of the world. I would rather be insulted than you can agree to our request."
The Taoist boys watched Xi Yu kneel on the ground, and faced with such a firm attitude, they began to waver.
They exchanged their eyes, as if thinking about Xi Yu's request.
The wind on the mountainside blew their clothes, as if witnessing the occurrence of this conversation.
Finally, a little Taoist boy came up and whispered: "You should leave quickly. It is not our final say to let the person go."
Jin Chang felt very painful, and Xi Yu actually knelt down to them, what are they?
"What do you mean? Are you still a place to practice Taoism? You are simply a group of beasts."
At this moment, they heard footsteps appear.
The two Taoist priests, Qingfeng and Mingyue, rushed to the mountainside.
Seeing Xi Yu kneeling on the ground and the Taoist boys surrounded them. They were very shocked and didn't know what was going on.
Qingfeng walked forward and asked anxiously: "What happened? Why did such a scene happen?"
Xi Yu turned his head and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them.
Mingyue also asked, "Mr. Xi, why are you kneeling on the ground? Why are these little bastards treating you like this?"
Xi Yu stood up and explained with guilt, "Qingfeng, Taoist Master Mingyue, this is the situation when we came to Kunlun Mountain. We encountered difficulties. In order to protect Chunyu Yue and the Secret Guard, I can only choose to endure humiliation."
He also slowly said about Chunyu Tian.
Qingfeng and Mingyue were once again surprised, so they scolded the little Taoists.
The Taoist boys were moved when they heard Qingfeng and Mingyue's inquiries.
But they still stick to their own position. A small Taoist boy said, "Tao Masters, we just act according to the rules and cannot let people go at will."
Qingfeng and Mingyue exchanged their eyes, and they decided to ask the old Taoist priest to understand.
They took Xi Yu and Jin Chang to the top of the mountain to look for the old Taoist priest.
In a quiet valley of Kunlun Mountain, the breeze and the bright moon hurriedly walked through the winding path, with an expression of wrath and determination on their faces.
They found the old Taoist priest, who was practicing on the top of the mountain.
Qingfeng and Mingyue hurriedly asked him what happened.
Why did he ask the Taoist boys to treat Xi Yu like this?
The old Taoist sneered and didn't say anything at all.
It turns out that Wen Xiangzi is actually Yuan Shao's subordinate.
When he saw Xi Yu coming, he felt that the opportunity had arrived.
When Wen Xiangzi was injured by a secret guard, the old Taoist priest told Wen Xiang that they were a father-son relationship and hid Wen Xiangzi.
Tell other Taoists not to disclose this matter and pretend that Wen Xiangzi never had any future.
On the other hand, Sima Shi and his enemies met unexpectedly on the way, and the other party wanted to take advantage of the situation to rob him.
Their masked faces made Sima Shi unable to identify the other person's identity.
Immediately, the two sides fell into a fierce battle.
Although Sima Shi resisted bravely, he was eventually captured by his enemies.
They took Sima Shi to a hidden basement and blocked all exits.
In the basement, several masked men whispered.
They discussed Sima Shi's identity and knew that he was Sima Yi's son, and Sima Yi was a subordinate of Cao Pi.
Therefore, they believed that Sima Shi could become a bargaining chip to threaten Sima Yi, so as to ask Sima Yi for more money.
One of the masked men said greedily: "This man is Sima Yi's son. We kidnapped him to threaten Sima Yi and let him take out more money to redeem people!"
Another masked man echoed: "Yes, Sima Shi must have a lot of wealth, and we can use this opportunity to get more money!"
The environment in the basement is dark and humid, and the air is filled with a heavy and depressing atmosphere.
Sima Shi listened quietly to their discussion, and a hint of alertness arose in his heart.
One of the masked men added: "We must keep it secret and not let others know that we have kidnapped Sima Shi. Otherwise, our plan will fail."
Suddenly, the basement door opened and a masked man walked in. He glanced at Sima Shi indifferently, as if evaluating his value.
The masked man walked to Sima Shi, smiled gloomyly, and said, "Sima Shi, you should be very clear about your current situation, right? Your identity and your father have become our powerful bargaining chips for us to obtain money."
Sima Shi was filled with anger and helplessness when facing this mysterious person.
He realized that he had to remain calm and not be influenced by the other party's threat.
He replied calmly: "You think that threatening my father, you are doomed to fail, he is a smart and decisive man, and he will not succumb to evil forces easily."
The masked man sneered: "You are confident, but I believe we have a way to force him. Besides, even if he refuses to hand over the money, we can use your life to force him to surrender."
Sima Shi's eyes were firm and sharp.
"You may choose to threaten my father, but no matter what, I will never succumb to your evil deeds. I will defend my dignity until the last moment."
The masked man looked at Sima Shi with contempt, with a trace of mockery flashing in his eyes.
"Okay, it seems you do have some courage, but I will let you understand who is the real master."
With this sentence, he turned around and left the basement, leaving Sima Shi to face the dilemma alone.
Sima Shi gritted his teeth tightly and determined to resist to the end.
He knew clearly that escape and freedom would not come easily, and that he must be prepared to face all challenges.
Time in the basement passes by minute by minute.
One of the masked men asked suspiciously: "Are you sure of Sima Shi's identity? After all, we have no conclusive evidence."
Another person replied confidently: "We have no conclusive evidence for anything, but we have enough clues and speculations. Sima Shi is Sima Yi's son, which is certain. Moreover, Sima Yi has a close relationship with Cao Pi, and the interests of them cannot be ignored."
Sima Master told himself that he had to find a way to escape quickly.
He observed the surroundings of the basement, looking for any clues to be exploited.
The walls were covered with moisture and mottled water stains on the ground.
The window was crucified and there was no chance of escape.
The atmosphere in the basement became heavier, and the humidity on the wall made the air filled with a gloomy atmosphere. Sima Shi felt that he was carrying a heavy responsibility and he had to protect his and his family's interests.
On the other side, on Kunlun Mountain.
Seeing that the old Taoist priest didn't speak, Xi Yu seemed to realize something.
"If I guess correctly, then Wen Xiangzi must be your son, right?"
The reason why Xi Yu said this is because the old Taoist priest and Wen Xiangzi look particularly similar.
This time, the old Taoist priest was shocked.
Then, Qingfeng and Mingyue were also surprised. It seemed that this incident was true.
"So you have to hide your son and tell others that this has never happened, right?"
Facing Xi Yu's coldly questioning, the old Taoist priest closed his eyes in pain.
It has reached this point, and it is useless to hide it any more.
He finally admitted it and specifically talked about the relationship between Wen Xiangzi and Yuan Shao.
Qingfeng said angrily: "Old Taoist, what you did is simply a defilement of Kunlun Mountain! It's so outrageous! I think you should die immediately and restore Kunlun Mountain to its purity!"
Mingyue also echoed angrily: "Yes! His behavior is completely inconsistent with morality, and has brought serious stains to Kunlun Mountain."
Qingfeng and Mingyue asked him to hand over Wen Xiangzi quickly and wanted to kneel down to apologize to Xi Yu.
The old Taoist priest remained silent, obviously not happy.
While arguing, Wen Xiangzi suddenly rushed into the house.
He said angrily: "You are talking about me behind your back, trying to force me to apologize to Xi Yu! I feel very ashamed and angry! I will never succumb to your pressure!"
Funkako's words made the atmosphere even more tense.
Qingfeng and Mingyue stick to their position, while Wen Xiangzi firmly oppose their demands.
Wen Xiangzi looked at Xi Yu coldly.
"I feel very incompetent when I didn't kill you."
"In this world, many people want to die. But I do all this for the people of the world."
Wen Xiangzi insulted Xi Yu, saying that what it means to do for the people of the world is clearly a person who seeks fame and reputation.
Several people were talking just now, but Jin Chang had no choice but to interrupt. At this time, he finally couldn't help it.
"At the mountainside, Mr. Xi knelt down to the Taoist boys. This is not embarrassing, but he understands the righteousness. Who can be like him?"
After Wen Xiangzi learned about the situation, she laughed.
"This means he is a slut."
Jin Chang suddenly slapped Wen Xiangzi.
"I have to beat you to death today if you are inferior to a beast."
Qingfeng and Mingyue told the old Taoist priest that he should slaughter himself quickly and not embarrass Kunlun Mountain.
The old Taoist priest and Wen Xiang all understood that they could not win today no matter what.
Wen Xiangzi sneered.
"I want me to apologize, this is impossible. A soldier can be killed and not humiliated. I did nothing wrong."
He said that he avenged Yuan Shao, which was natural.
Afterwards, he laughed, and suddenly a stream of blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth. He immediately fell to the ground, beaten into a pair of eyes, and died.
It turned out that he had a fatal drug in his mouth and would commit suicide at critical moments.
The old Taoist priest was shocked. He had never expected such a thing to happen.
"My stupid son, why did you do this?"
He immediately ran to the other party's corpse, hugged the other party's corpse and burst into tears.
"Why are you? Why do you do this? We father and son just recognized each other."
Seeing this scene, Xi Yu shook his head secretly, not expecting that Wen Xiangzi was so strong.
The old Taoist priest cried for a while and said that he was indeed very guilty. Now that his son is dead, he has no motivation to survive.
He then told them all the places where Chunyu Tian and the Secret Guards were detained, and then he committed suicide by gossiping.
Everything happened so suddenly, Qingfeng sighed.
"Maybe death is the best relief for him."
Xi Yu and Jin Chang quickly released Chunyu Tian and the secret guards.
When the four of them met again, they felt like they had changed into a new world.
Qingfeng and Mingyue ordered the Taoist boys to take away their bodies.
Then they were prepared to be buried properly. No matter what mistakes they made, they were always people on Kunlun Mountain.
Qingfeng and Mingyue invited Xi Yu and four others to the room to have tea.
Seeing the two Taoist priests come back, Xi Yu finally felt that the suffering of these days was not in vain.
Jin Chang was very quick-talking and told Chunyu Tian and the others about the joke that Yu had kneeled down to the Taoist boy.
"Xi Gong, how can you do this?"
Chunyu Tian felt very sad. This great prince knelt down to a few young Taoist priests?
"At that moment, I was confused again because I really couldn't think of a better way to do it. I couldn't leave you."
Xi Yu said that although Chunyu Tian had just known him, he had already regarded him as a brother.
Qingfeng suddenly seemed to remember something, and he asked everyone to wait here. After a while, he brought a few Taoist boys on the mountainside just now and asked them to kneel down for Xi Yu.
And he must kneel for an hour to relieve Xi Yu.
Xi Yu did not object to this approach either.
Next, Qingfeng and Mingyue asked about the ninja.
Xi Yu said: It was for this matter that I came to invite you. I wonder what good ideas do you have?"
The two said they had never been in contact with such people.
Even people like Ninja don't know that they exist.
"So I beg you to come out again this time. I don't know what you are thinking about." Xi Yu stood up and bowed respectfully to the two of them, and they were immediately embarrassed.
The last time they followed Xi Yu was to clean up the portal.
But when will I follow Xi Yu this time?
Could it be that the ninja cannot be eliminated as soon as possible, so they have been by Xi Yu's side?
Haven’t they become Xi Yu’s soldiers?
Xi Yu said: "I also know that doing this will make you a little embarrassed. I still hope you can come out to help me."
Mingyue immediately laughed, hoping that Xi Yu would not be in a hurry, they must consider this matter carefully.
Since I have arrived on Kunlun Mountain, let’s stay here for a few days.
Xi Yu felt very disappointed with this answer.
This is clearly perfunctory to himself, but if he really doesn't want to, he can't force him.
But since the other party has this request, he really has to stay with a stern face.
"Since that's the case, I'll disturb you."
Qingfeng feels a little uncomfortable. Can’t you hear good words or bad words?
The meaning of saying this is to tell him and let him leave quickly.
"Since that's the case, please prepare our room right away."
Xi Yu said, they need to have a good rest.
The other two Taoist priests have to prepare for the funeral of Taoist priest and Wen Xiangzi, and there will be a lot of things to do, so they won't disturb them.
Qingfeng and Mingyue looked at each other, and it seemed that Xi Yu was really going to waste time with them.
He immediately arranged a guest room for them. But Xi Yu told Jin Chang that he could go home and wait, and there was no need to guard himself.
"No, Xi Gong, I'm still willing to be with you, and there's nothing at home."
