Chapter 146: Mount Tai's Dare-to-be-a-rock! Second Update

  Xiao Yun immediately took out the bee pupae that had been prepared earlier, and let Qiao Er devour them with relish. This little guy was a foodie, just now he was still listless, but now, as soon as he saw something to eat, his spirits lifted instantly.

  "What's the origin of those three people?"

  Watching Qiao Er eating with relish, Xiao Yun's heart was filled with misgivings. One disagreement and he wanted to kill someone to vent his anger; this kind of ruthless behavior was undoubtedly that of an evil cultivator. Fortunately, there was Qiao Er assisting from the side, otherwise, it would have been difficult to escape today.

  Although they fled in disarray, Xiao Yun didn't let the other side off easy either. Not only did he kill that cripple, but also cut off the old hag's arm, which was a way to vent his anger. The only pity was that he wasn't able to take the old hag's life.

  Those two people are probably so angry that they wish they could swallow themselves now. Xiao Yun thought to herself, but a smile appeared on her face.

  That old couple, even if they want to chase after us, it's not easy for them to find themselves in this vast and crowded Pingyang City. Moreover, it's uncertain whether those two can enter the city. Let's rest in Pingyang City for a night and leave early tomorrow morning. See where they'll go next?

  Thinking of that crippled man whose head was chopped off by himself, Xiao Yun felt a sense of schadenfreude and exhilaration in his heart!

  "Is this what they're looking for?"

  After a while, Xiao Yun took out the black-clad man's package from Mount Tai and placed it on the table. He opened the package, revealing an ordinary black lacquer wooden box inside.

  No exquisite carvings, no gold or silver decorations, just an ordinary wooden box, one foot long and half a foot wide, it feels heavy when held in the hand. It has some weight to it.

  The box wasn't locked, only a small buckle was buckled. Xiao Yun had the heart to open it and take a look at what was inside, but thinking about it again didn't seem right. After all, this thing was entrusted to him by that man in black.

  "Just take a look, should be no problem!"

  After all, that man in black is already dead, and he didn't make it clear where to send this box. It can be said that this thing is now his own.

  After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yun still couldn't resist the temptation, and turned the direction of the box's opening to one side, gently prying open the buckle on the box. This was just Xiao Yun being cautious, fearing that there might be some hidden weapon inside the box.

  "Crack!"

  The latch was lifted, and the box cover popped up directly, automatically opening. After a while, without seeing any hidden weapons flying out of the box, Xiao Yun turned it over.

  "What? A stone?"

  A yellow silk cloth wrapped something in the box, Xiao Yun carefully took it out of the box and lifted the yellow silk cloth wrapped on top. What appeared before Xiao Yun was a piece of emerald green stone.

  The stone was as big as a palm, and it felt extremely heavy when held in hand, probably weighing around 60-70 kilograms. If not for Xiao Yunle's increased strength due to his high cultivation level, it would have been impossible to lift, with the top being smaller than the bottom. It resembled a miniature mountain peak, with its entire body as smooth as jade.

  "This is what they call a treasure?"

  Xiao Yun was somewhat surprised. This stone is almost the same as the pebbles picked up by the river, the only difference may be the weight of this stone, a small piece of stone, weighing 60-70 kilograms, how dense it is!

  It's worth it for that man in black to pay with his life; this stone must be extraordinary, perhaps a musical treasure.

  Under the oil lamp, Xiao Yun turned over the stone and saw that at the bottom of it, whether it was natural or engraved, there was a row of blurry small characters, like a seal.

  "Taishan Stone Dare To Stand?"

  After careful identification and guessing, Xiao Yun finally recognized the row of characters. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yun's face became somewhat strange.

  "Is this the Dangshan stone of Mount Tai?" After re-examining this seemingly ordinary stone, Xiao Yun couldn't help but think of some legends he had heard while on Earth.

  Mount Tai, one of the Five Great Mountains, is where the righteous energy of the world converges. Many emperors have paid homage to Mount Tai, and its majestic energy can ward off evil spirits. In some places where evil spirits gather, strange events may occur, and people often go to Mount Tai to fetch a stone to suppress them, which is called a "daring stone".

  There is a saying: "The fierce tiger, the brave stone, what it does not invade, the dragon has not yet reached."

  Another inscription reads: "Stone dare to withstand, suppress a hundred ghosts, ward off disasters and calamities, bring blessings to officials, peace to the people, prosperity to education, and flourishing rites and music!"

  Before, all he had heard were legends. When he was on Earth, Xiao Yun had also seen Tai Shan's Daring Stone, but they were just ordinary stones, no different from regular stones. However, the stone in front of him now was obviously not that simple. Just its weight alone would surpass the Daring Stones he had seen before by several blocks.

  Unfortunately, Lele hasn't woken up yet, otherwise I could ask her! Holding the stone for half a day, Xiao Yun still couldn't figure out what it was. He wanted to find Lele to ask her, but since she fell asleep last time, she hadn't appeared again.

  "Maybe this stone is really Lebao!"

  Although it felt a bit strange, Xiao Yun still thought this was a treasure, otherwise the black-clothed man wouldn't have given his life for it, and those two old men and one young man wouldn't have pursued it relentlessly.

  Is it Le Bao? Only by dripping blood can one know, but Xiao Yun's heart is clear. Without the realm of music, it's useless to think about controlling the powerful Le Bao. Moreover, this thing was obtained by that black-clothed person at the cost of his life. It's better to wait for Le Le to wake up and discuss it with her properly before doing anything else. Anyway, the thing is in one's own hands, and others can't snatch it away.

  The stone was put back into the box and stored away, Qiao also finished eating the delicious food prepared by Xiao Yun for him, with a big belly, he fell asleep on the table.

  Helpless, Xiao Yun moved Cui'er to the bedside and went out of the room, downstairs to ask the shopkeeper to send some food. After a full meal, he went to bed to rest, preparing to continue on his journey early the next morning.

  ——

  It was late at night, and suddenly a commotion broke the tranquility of the inn.

  "Sir, what are you doing? You're disturbing our guests' rest!"

  "Get out!"

  The shopkeeper followed behind a scar-faced old man and an armless old woman, constantly smiling and begging. However, the scar-faced old man turned back impatiently and glared at the shopkeeper with a fierce and bloodshot gaze, which scared the shopkeeper pale and made him retreat repeatedly.

  "Boom!"

  An old man and an old woman kicked open a door and stormed in.

  "Ah, what kind of people are you?"

  A man and a woman, disheveled and sitting on the bed, covering their private parts with a quilt, looked at the two people with a fierce momentum, obviously having received no small shock, completely stunned.

  "What do you mean by this?" The man came back to his senses, the old couple had already retreated, and he didn't dare argue with them. He immediately scolded the old shopkeeper instead.

  "Sorry, sorry, you two continue!" The old shopkeeper hastily smiled and apologized, then closed the door and retreated.

  "My god!"

  The man was scolded severely and was so frightened that he became weak all over, how could he continue?

  ——

  "Hurry up and go to the government office to report the case!"

  Out of the door, the old shopkeeper beckoned to a young shop assistant, who responded with a sound and hurriedly ran out.

  "Get out here, you little thief!"

  The old man and the old woman scolded loudly, and then started kicking the door one after another. Many guests in the hotel were awakened by the noise, and they poked their heads out to see the couple's fierce appearance. They wanted to scold them, but instead retreated with a sullen face.

  "How can we still run this business?"

  The old shopkeeper was on the verge of tears, patted his thigh and hurriedly chased after him.

  I don't know which evil god I offended today, in the middle of the night two strange men came running, neither did they book a room nor stay at the inn, but directly rushed up to look for someone, and with a fierce momentum. The old shopkeeper saw that they were covered in blood, and didn't dare to provoke them, fearing that he would bring trouble upon himself.

  "Boom!"

  The scar-faced old man kicked open the door of Room 3 with a single kick, and the two of them rushed in one after another, their momentum fierce.

  "Huh? Nobody?"

  The moonlight shone into the room, the quilt was lifted, but there was no one inside. The scar-faced old man raised an eyebrow and walked forward to touch the bedding, which was still warm, indicating that the person who had been in the room had just left not long ago.

  "Tianba, he escaped from the window, chase him quickly!" The one-armed old lady looked at the widely opened window, as if a figure had flashed by, and immediately shouted at the scar-faced old man.
