Chapter 125: Xiao Yun's Request!

  "I don't dare to guarantee, but I have about 70-80% confidence!" Xiao Yun said noncommittally. "The spell I just cast is only a simplified version of the Clear Mind and Universal Benevolence Chant. Give me two days' time to prepare the full score, and there shouldn't be any major problems. This chant was originally meant to be played on both the qin and sheng instruments, but unfortunately, I can only play one instrument at a time. At that time, the two seniors can choose someone in the village who is skilled in playing the sheng to accompany me, and the power of the Clear Mind and Universal Benevolence Chant will surely be even more effective, perhaps forcing out the demonic insect from Little Tiger's mind."

  "Huh?"

  The two heard this, and a hint of joy flashed across their faces, but there was also a hint of concern in their eyes. To ask someone to play with Xiao Yun, that is to say, did Xiao Yun leave the tune of Qing Xin Pu Shang Chou for them? A fleeting acquaintance, could he be so generous? Or did this young man have other intentions?

  Can't help but say that the two have a keen eye, and at a glance, they can see that Xiao Yun still has something to say. Xiao Yun is also straightforward and says, "However, I do have an impolite request!"

  I knew it!

  As soon as Xiao Yun spoke out, Ye Bai's hearts suddenly relaxed, and if Xiao Yun didn't mention the request, their hearts would still be hanging.

  "Speak up!" Ye Bai said bluntly.

  Xiao Yun hesitated for a moment, then said, "I don't know where to find the Nai Chong in Tongtian Mountain. I've heard of the Bug Le Dao, and my heart is filled with curiosity. I'd like to go take a look."

  Just now I heard two people mention something about the old ghost Lin, which should be where the fate insect grows. However, Xiao Yun is not familiar with Tongtian Mountain at all, and heaven knows where that old ghost forest is.

  The two of them heard this and their faces immediately stiffened. The place where the insect was located was, after all, the foundation of Tongtian Village. How could outsiders possibly enter?

  However, if Xiao Yun's Clear Mind and Good Deed Mantra can indeed force out the poisonous worm from Xiaohu's mind, it would undoubtedly cure a major worry for Tongtian Village. As long as he isn't intentionally causing trouble, let him go take a look; it shouldn't be a problem.

  "Dad, Uncle Bai, just let Brother Xiao go take a look, and I'll go with him later." Just then, Ye Lan suddenly burst in, her heart full of gratitude towards Xiao Yun. She had just overheard the conversation outside the door and couldn't help but come in to speak up for Xiao Yun.

  "Adults are discussing matters, what do you know as a child? Get out!" Being interrupted by Ye Lan like this, Ye Changqing felt somewhat displeased.

  Ye Lan said, "Dad, Big Brother Xiao sent me a tune a few days ago that can summon the North Dipper insect. I also want to go into the Old Ghost Forest again to see if the tune is effective on the Numinous Insect."

  "Huh? Summoning the North Dipper Bug?"

  The two of them heard this and a hint of surprise flashed across their eyes. Summoning the North Dipper Insect was nothing, after all there were many places on Tongtian Mountain where one could find the North Dipper Insect, but if they could summon the Destiny Insect, that would be a different story altogether.

  Ye Changqing didn't say a word and instead turned his face towards Ye Bai. Although he was the clan leader, many things still required listening to the opinions of several elders.

  After some thought, Ye Bai said to Xiao Yun, who was full of hope, "Alright, once you've cured Little Tiger, I'll let Lan'er accompany you inside. Although there's no danger in the old devil Lin's place, don't catch any more demonic insects and bring them back."

  "Grandpa Bai, don't worry, the demon bug appears only once every few hundred years, we're not that lucky to run into it twice in just a few days?" Ye Lanxi said.

  Ye Bai's face turned pale and his mouth twitched. "Grandfather, I'm giving you a sincere warning, listen carefully! Just because it rarely appears doesn't mean there won't be two demonic bugs appearing at the same time!"

  Ye Lan listened and also pouted her mouth like Ye Bai. Now Xiao Hu has a chance to survive, and her mood is not bad at all.

  "Thank you, senior!" Xiao Yun said to Ye Bai.

  Ye Bai shook his head, "Don't rush to thank me, old ghost Lin is the thousand-year forbidden land of Tongtian Village, if you want to go in, you have to cure Xiaohu first, and besides, these few hundred years, the fate worms are getting harder and harder to find, even if you go in, it's likely that you'll still come out empty-handed."

  "Don't worry, senior. I'll go prepare now. Please choose a skilled Zhāo player to come with me, and we can rescue Little Tiger in two days!" said Xiao Yun.

  "Is it a high hand with a fan? Xiao Da Ge, Bai Ye Ye is using a high hand with a fan!" Ye Lan said.

  "Huh?" Xiao Yun looked at Ye Bai.

  Ye Bai smiled and shook his head, "Not a master, just barely passable!"

  "Senior is being modest!" Xiao Yun smiled slightly, this sentence sounds like a modest remark.

  Ye Lan said, "Bai Ye's zither skills are indeed the best in our village!"

  "I'll try to hand over the score to you by tomorrow evening, and two days later, I'd be honored if you could play it with me!" said Xiao Yun as he stood up.

  Ye Bai nodded, "It's already late at night, let's go back and rest early."

  "Junior bids farewell!" Xiao Yun bowed his hands to the two of them and turned to leave.

  "I'll go see off Big Brother Xiao!" Seeing Xiao Yun leave, Ye Lan hastily threw out a sentence and also chased after him.

  ——

  Watching Xiao Yun's receding back, the two people in the side hall fell into a long silence, not knowing what they were thinking. After all, Xiao Yun was an outsider and couldn't easily gain their trust, especially since he had proposed going to Lao Gui Lin, which made them somewhat suspicious of this young man who suddenly visited, whether he had ulterior motives from the start.

  "White Elder, what do you think of this person? Is he good or evil?" After a while, Ye Changqing said.

  "Don't judge a person by appearance!" Ye Bai shook his head, "Although this man looks refined and doesn't seem like an evil person, what he says is only one-sided words. We have no way to verify them, so let's be cautious!"

  Ye Changqing listened and said, "Really let him enter the Old Ghost Forest?"

  Ye Bai thought for a moment, "If he can really save Little Tiger, let him go to Old Ghost Forest to take a look. Nowadays, the number of life insects in Old Ghost Forest is getting smaller and smaller. Even if he finds it, without the refining insect technique in my village, it's just an ordinary insect."

  Ye Changqing nodded, but still had some worries, "Lao Gui Lin is the lifeline of our tribe, what if he goes in and makes trouble?"

  "Let Lanyu be more careful!" Ye Bai waved his hand.

  "Lan'er this girl, probably won't listen." Ye Changqing sighed with a bitter smile.

  Ye Bai listened and said, "Then let Duanzi go in together, but it still depends on whether he can save Xiaohuzi. This person has some strange skills, but his real strength is only at the beginning of Le Gong, if he really dares to enter Laogui Forest to make trouble, I will not forgive him."

  Yebai said that, Yechangqing put down his heart and stood up, saying, "You old man rest first, I'll go see Xiao Hu Zi."

  "Let's go together with you, lest something goes wrong again!"

  Ye Bai also stood up, and the two of them walked shoulder to shoulder out of the side hall.

  ——

  "How is Little Tiger now?"

  On the main road in the village, Xiao Yun asked Ye Lan who was following behind, "The villagers passing by on the road occasionally looked at Xiao Yun with eyes that were no longer rejecting, and some even nodded kindly towards him."

  Ye Lan said, "I just came from Xiao Hu's house. He is still unconscious, but not as scary as before. His appearance earlier really scared me to death."

  Xiao Yun sighed with a bitter smile, "This little guy, his luck is really bad."

  "Xiao Da Ge, you must be able to save Xiao Hu, right?" Following behind Xiang Yun, looking at the back of his feet, Ye Lan fiddled with her hands, and after a moment of silence, suddenly looked up and seriously asked Xiang Yun.

  Xiao Yund stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked down at Ye Lan, "I've never encountered a situation like this before, nor do I dare to say anything definite, but I'll do my best to save him!"

  "Thank you, Xiao Da Ge! If it wasn't for you today, Little Tiger would probably..." Ye Lan said seriously, and as she spoke, her eyes became moist again.

  Xiao Yun smiled suddenly, "What are you thanking me for? Little Tiger is your friend and also my friend. I saved him because it was the right thing to do. That little guy always says he's my lifesaver, now it's time for me to return the favor!"

  Ye Lan heard this and burst out laughing. Her previous worries vanished instantly, and for some reason, she believed that Xiao Yun had the ability to save Little Tiger.

  "Alright, the mountain road is rugged, I'll send you off here, and I'll go up myself." After leaving the village, they arrived at the small path beside the foot of the mountain, Xiao Yun said to Ye Lan.

  "I'll take you up!" Ye Lan said.

  Xiao Yun smiled, "You send me up, and I'll have to send you back down."

  Yelan smiled awkwardly, suddenly remembering something, "Right, because of Xiaohu's matter today, I forgot to send lunch to Brother Xiao. You must still be hungry, I'll go back and cook for you!"

  "Don't bother, I've already found something to eat!" Xiao Yun shook her head, "Hurry back home, it's not good for a girl to be running around outside so late at night!"
