Chapter 196 You Are Being Used
It wasn't until after eight o'clock in the evening that Ye Qiao came back panting, "Taiping, are you anxious about waiting?"
"Did something unexpected happen?" I asked very worriedly.
"That's not the case. It's just that the clan leader said it was not convenient during the day and asked me to wait until night to come out to pick you up." Ye Qiao said.
Hearing what he said, I felt relieved. Ye Qiao was in the front car giving directions. Instead of continuing on the expressway, we turned into the lower road.
Near midnight, the convoy drove into the deep mountains and old forests, and soon a large river appeared in front of us, blocking our way.
Ye Qiao did not let the convoy cross the bridge over the river, but drove dozens of kilometers eastward along the river before stopping.
I got out of the car and looked around. There were no traces of human life here. "Your ancestors were really good at finding places. This can really be called a good place to hide from the world."
"My people have been living in seclusion here for hundreds of years. Although their lives here are ordinary, they are peaceful and peaceful, without fighting."
"In the past hundreds of years, no outsider has ever been able to step out of here, so I hope..." Ye Qiao said and glanced at me.
"Don't worry, I can swear to God that I will never mention this place to outsiders. If I violate my oath, God will strike with thunder and I will die." I directly stretched out two fingers to say
God swears.
"I believe you." Ye Qiao said solemnly.
We waited by the river for about ten minutes. On the surface of the river in the distance, there were four large boats slowly coming towards us.
It's said to be a boat, but it's actually just bamboo tied together, and then some wood is simply nailed to the bamboo.
Soon the boat docked. Ye Qiao stepped forward and whispered a few words to the people on the boat. Then he said to me, "Put the people on board."
My grandpa, uncle, and several drivers helped put the stretchers for grandma and others on the boat. After everything was done, I told the drivers that they could go back. I also asked them not to tell anyone what they saw today.
People, several people promised not to tell anyone.
After several drivers drove away, I jumped on the boat.
When the boat started, it was still moving forward slowly. After a few minutes, it suddenly accelerated instantly. Like a sharp sword, the big boat divided the river into two parts and headed towards the mountain stream below.
At this time, the boat was walking in the middle of the mountain stream, with towering mountains on both sides. The wind kept blowing, making a rustling sound of leaves. This seemed very scary in the dark night.
After driving in the mountain stream for about seven or eight minutes, the front suddenly became wider. The boatman on the boat paddled the oar to change the direction of the boat, and the boat headed in another direction.
This time it took a little longer, until the sky became brighter and the boat stopped at the foot of a mountain.
"We're here." Ye Qiao said.
I looked at the mountains in front of me to see if there was any way to go.
After I finished speaking, a boatman got off the boat, walked to the foot of the mountain, and vigorously moved a large stone away. A very spacious cave entrance, about half a person high, appeared in front of us.
I didn't expect such an operation, and I couldn't help but sigh to myself. These people are really careful. They should take this place very seriously.
"Sit down cross-legged and enter the cave." Ye Qiao said to me.
Everyone on the boat sat down to avoid bumping their heads against the rock wall above. The cave is very long, and the further you go inside, the darker it gets.

Ye Qiao told me that only one part of this water cave leads to where we want to go. The rest of the entrances are almost dead ends, and there are undercurrents, whirlpools, and rocks in some places. If you don't know the way, you can break in without permission.
Yes, basically there is no coming back.
"Your ancestors are really amazing, they were able to find such a secluded paradise." I couldn't help but admire.
"So, you know why we don't want outsiders to come in. Grandpa and I have also thought about it for a long time and feel that you are a trustworthy person." Ye Qiao said.
"I'm really touched by you. I'm so recognized by you. What else can I say?" I patted the water with my hand.
Soon, light appeared in front, and the boat quickly docked. Standing on the shore were Ye Qiao's grandfather and several other people. The clothes they wore were not the ancient clothes I imagined, but the clothes of modern people.
"Chief, we've brought it here." Ye Qiao jumped off the boat first, walked to one of the old men, and bowed respectfully.
The old man nodded towards Ye Qiao, and then his eyes fell on me. I suddenly felt a cold glow on my body.
"You are Chen Taiping." The old man said.
"Young man Chen Taiping has met the clan leader." I bowed respectfully.
The old man nodded, "Okay, okay, I've heard everything about you, just leave your family here."
"Thank you, patriarch." I saluted again.
The patriarch waved his hand towards me, and then asked everyone to help me carry my grandma off the boat.
After grandma and the others were settled, Ye Qiao called me over and said that the clan leader was looking for me.
I followed Ye Qiao towards the place where the clan leader lived. On the way, I had time to take a good look at the place.
It can be said that it is surrounded by mountains, with cliffs everywhere. Except for the cave we entered, there is no other way to go.
Follow Ye Qiao to a wooden house. Although this house is made of wood, the whole house has a simple and heavy feeling.
"You can go in by yourself. The patriarch said he has something to tell you." Ye Qiao sent me to the door and asked me to go in by myself.
I tidied my clothes. To be honest, I was still a little nervous.
Stepping into the house, I immediately smelled a strong medicinal aroma. This medicinal aroma made me feel refreshed and refreshed.
"How does this taste?" came a familiar voice.
I turned around and saw the patriarch walking over.
"The fragrance is fragrant and refreshing. You are doing alchemy," I said.
The clan leader nodded, "Yes, you are knowledgeable."
"Come on, sit down and talk." The patriarch asked me to sit down and poured me a glass of water.
"Little friend, what do you think of our place?" the clan leader asked.
"It can be called a paradise in the cave." I said directly.
The clan leader nodded, "I heard that you are very accomplished in Feng Shui. Old man Ye told you to help us set up a Feng Shui formation."
"As I said, as long as I can do it, I will do it." I said.
The patriarch took a sip of water and said, "Originally, we have always gathered the abundant energy of heaven and earth, but in recent years, the energy of heaven and earth has begun to leak out. We have Feng Shui skills that we don't understand. So people like Old Man Ye are always outside.
I’m looking for a Feng Shui master to trap the leaked weather energy, but unfortunately I haven’t found a suitable candidate.”
"However, I finally found you, little friend. We rely on you here, otherwise in a hundred years, my clan will no longer exist.

"After the patriarch finished speaking, he bowed deeply to me.
I quickly helped the clan leader up and said, "Old man, please don't do this. I will do my best. I will definitely not let your clan perish."
When I came out of the wooden house, Ye Qiao was waiting outside. When he saw me coming out, he asked directly if it was difficult to set up the Feng Shui array.
"You ask me to say whether it's difficult or not. If I say it's difficult, you think you owe me a favor." I joked.
"If you really say that, then the stone in my heart will be relieved." Ye Qiao replied with a smile.
As I walked, I said, "If you simply retain the energy of heaven and earth, this Feng Shui formation will not be difficult."
I stayed here for two days and found out the reason why the energy of heaven and earth was leaking out, and then spent another two days setting up the grand formation.
It took a total of five days before and after the formation was completed.
"Patriarch, I have asked you to take care of my grandparents. I will always remember this in my heart." I said to the patriarch.
"Taiping, don't worry. By the time you come back, your grandma and the others should be almost fine. Don't say thank you anymore. We are mutually beneficial and no one owes anyone anything." The patriarch glanced at me and said,
He took out a small porcelain bottle from his body and said, "Here are two pills. They should have some effect on you. You may be able to use them."
I was not polite and took it directly. This was a pill refined by Hua Tuo's descendants. How could I not accept it?
"Patriarch, thank you very much." I bowed deeply to the patriarch.
The clan leader hesitated for a moment, "Okay, it's getting late, you can go with Ye Qiao."
Ye Qiao and I came out and returned to the river.
"What are your plans next?" Ye Qiao asked.
"I want to find out who instigated that person to harm my family. I must avenge this." I said with clenched fists.
If I hadn't come back in time, I'm afraid my grandma would have died. Although I killed the person who did it, I am not going to let go of the person behind him.
Ye Qiao nodded and said, "What are you going to do?"
"First ask the person behind it." After I finished speaking, I took out the talisman.
It's night now, and this place is in the wilderness and uninhabited, so it's the most suitable place.
After the man's soul was released, he looked at me and frowned and said, "Chen Tianping, are you really crazy? How dare you kill me?"
"You are dead and you still talk nonsense." I stared directly at his soul and said, "Why don't I dare to kill you? Killing you is like killing a pig."
The man seemed to have come to his senses now, he was really dead.
"Kill me, you will pay a heavy price, you are really a madman." The man's soul roared.
I looked at the soul in front of me and sneered, "I do go crazy sometimes, but that's because I was forced to do so. If you don't touch my family, how can I go crazy? And let me tell you something,
Don't think too highly of yourself, it doesn't matter if our background in Huilongguan is not as deep as yours, can your family really quarrel with Huilongguan because of you?"
"Haha, my name is Sun Youchao, and I am from the same generation as You. You should know what this means, right?" He said very arrogantly.
"Why are you still so arrogant? There are a total of 252 people of my generation, and you are just one of them. If you had a high status, I'm afraid you wouldn't be taken advantage of." I said with a sneer.
