Siheyuan: I don't mind if I break up the marriage

The entrance to the cave is not big and is mostly covered by vines. If you don't look carefully, it's easy to miss it.

"It should be here!" Sister Zhang said excitedly.

Jiang Yue took a deep breath and walked into the cave first.

The cave was dark and damp, filled with a stale smell.

He circulated his spiritual power, and a faint light appeared in his palm, illuminating the way forward.

The walls of the cave were covered with moss, and water droplets fell from time to time, making a "tick-tick" sound.

As they walked, a stone platform appeared in front of them. On the platform were some plaques exuding an ancient atmosphere. They were the hero plaques that Sister Zhang had been looking for.

The sign is engraved with mysterious runes, which flicker with faint light, as if telling the glory and vicissitudes of the past.

Sister Zhang picked up the Heroic Spirit Card with shaking hands, tears in her eyes: "Finally found it..."

Jiang Yueshen was also excited. He knew that this Heroic Spirit Card carried too much power and expectations.

"Let's go back quickly," he said.

The three of them walked out of the cave and boarded the melted-water plane again, flying back at full speed to the town where Sima Laodao was resting.

Along the way, Jiang Yueshen had a lot of thoughts. They had paid too much for this difficult journey, but as long as he thought about being able to protect everything behind him, endless strength surged in his heart.

The plane cut through the sky, and the mountains, rivers and streams below quickly unfolded like a picture scroll.

As the outline of the town gradually became clear, Jiang Yueshen's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

The town is still as quiet and peaceful as ever, with curls of smoke rising from every household.

Children were laughing and playing in the streets, but Jiang Yueshen's heart was filled with ups and downs after experiencing many vicissitudes of life.

As soon as he stepped into the town, Jiang Yueshen saw from afar Sima Laodao, Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi, who had not been seen for a long time, standing at the entrance of the town, looking forward to seeing him.

Taoist Sima was wearing a Taoist robe, which was a bit worn but clean and tidy. He waved the whisk in his hand gently, and there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

Hu Bayi had an upright posture and a resolute face, but after going through so many hardships, he looked a little more vicissitudes of life, and the weakness he had suffered from the poisoning was completely gone.

Fatty Wang still looked as big and strong as before, with a smile on his round face. When he saw Jiang Yueshen returning, he smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits.

Jiang Yueshen walked forward quickly. Before he could say anything, Sima Laodao came up to him, shook his hand tightly, and looked him up and down: "Little brother Jiang, I've been waiting for you to come back. This journey must have been extremely difficult!"

Jiang Yueshen felt warm in his heart and nodded slightly: "Yes, but at least it was a safe bet."

As he spoke, Jiang Yueshen raised his hand and used the Eighteen Methods of Returning the Soul to check their pulses one by one.

Jiang Yueshen placed his fingers on Hu Bayi's wrist. After a moment, he showed joy:

"Hu Bayi, your body has almost recovered from the poisoning, and your wounds have all healed. It looks like you are fine now."

Hu Bayi smiled cheerfully: "Thanks to the careful care of Master Sima, and the good medicine you risked your life to find, I am able to save my life."

Then, Jiang Yueshen felt the pulse of Taoist Sima again, and also showed a relieved look on his face: "Senior Sima, your internal injuries have recovered. Now I feel relieved."

Sima Laodao nodded slightly, his eyes full of gratitude: "Brother Jiang, this time it's all thanks to you."

As everyone was talking, Sima Laodao's gaze suddenly passed Jiang Yueshen and fell on Sister Zhang behind them.

In an instant, Sima Laodao's eyes turned red and he cried with joy: "Sister Zhang, you are still alive, that's great!"

He rushed forward and tightly grasped Sister Zhang's hands. This old Taoist who was usually calm and composed was now as unruly as a child.

They were comrades-in-arms who had shared life and death together. After experiencing separation through life and death, they were now reunited. The excitement and sadness in their hearts were intertwined and difficult to describe in words.

After a long while, Taoist Sima let go of Sister Zhang and looked around. He then realized that Xiaoling was not there. He couldn't help but frowned and asked in confusion, "Where is Xiaoling? Why...?"

Sima Laodao seemed to realize something, and he choked up in the middle of his words...

Sister Zhang's eyes turned red instantly and tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard to hold back her grief.

He took a deep breath and spoke slowly, recounting the whole story of Jiang Yueshen's battle with Luo Cai and Lotus from beginning to end.

When she was moved, Sister Zhang's voice trembled a little: "That Lotus is too powerful, and we are almost in a desperate situation.

At the critical moment, in order to help Jiang Yueshen, Xiaoling...she herself held the hydrogen bomb and crawled into Lotus' mouth..."

When everyone heard this, they all looked shocked and saddened.

Sima Laodao even swayed and almost lost his balance. He widened his eyes with disbelief on his face: "This... How is this possible? Xiaoling is just a child!"

Sister Zhang choked up and with trembling hands she took out Xiaoling's spirit tablet from her bosom and handed it to Sima Laodao: "This is Xiaoling's spirit tablet. She...she's gone..."

Taoist Sima took the Hero's Spirit Plate with trembling hands. The plate seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. He stared at it intently, as if he wanted to find some trace of Xiaoling on it.

After a moment, tears welled up in his eyes, slid down his wrinkled cheeks, and dripped onto the Heroic Spirit Card, splashing tiny teardrops.

Sima Laodao's eyes were red, he clenched his fists, and said with gritted teeth:

"All of this happened because of me... If I were at the scene, I would rather help Brother Jiang and save Xiaoling's life!"

"I'm old and useless...but Xiaoling is still..."

Jiang Yueshen stood aside, with his head lowered, his hands clenched tightly, his nails deeply embedded in his palms.

His heart was filled with self-blame and regret. If he had been stronger, if he had come up with a better solution at the time, perhaps Xiaoling would not have had to sacrifice herself.

That cute image of him who loved eating lollipops, carrying a schoolbag, and always talking to people in a naughty way seems to be still in front of me, but now he is gone forever.

For a moment, the whole house was shrouded in an atmosphere of grief.

The breeze blew gently, but it could not blow away the sadness in everyone's hearts.

After a long while, Jiang Yueshen slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with determination and resoluteness:

"Don't worry, Xiaoling won't die in vain."

"Her Heroic Spirit Tablet is here. Your mission now is to return to the country and send her and the ancestors home."

Everyone nodded, with the flame of fighting spirit burning in their eyes.

It is indeed as Jiang Yueshen said, now is not the time for them to be sad.

Now Master Sima and Sister Zhang have to return to China first.

Sending the Heroic Spirit Tablet back is Xiaoling’s final wish, and only then can she rest in peace.

The reason why Jiang Yueshen said this was that he always felt that things here were not over yet!

Because the tiankeng in that base may have some unknown relationship with the local military in Southeast Asia!

Let’s imagine boldly that if these military forces cooperate with Lotus, it would be considered a combination of foreign master and apprentice.

Once they succeed in their research, it will be a piece of cake for them to rule the entire earth!

By then, Daxia will surely suffer!

The world-class war will directly usher in the most cruel curtain with the emergence of this new abnormal species in Southeast Asia!
