Chapter 151 Splitting Mountains and Opening Roads
The five disciples, including Qinghe Daoren, Xiao Changkong, and Lu Haoran, changed their expressions repeatedly after hearing Shen Rugo's words.
It turns out that Shen Rugo was extremely hungry. Since the mountain was high and she couldn't fly, she had no choice but to clear a path down the mountain herself.
Qinghe Daoist glared at the five people and said, "You five little rascals, you're usually so clever, how come you're all so brainless now?"
"You don't need to eat grains, so does that mean Ruge, this child, doesn't need them either?"
After saying that, he walked straight out of the cave.
"Grandmaster Uncle, is Junior Sister alright?"
"It's all our fault for being negligent. We haven't eaten whole grains in so long that we forgot that our junior sister still needs to eat!"
"Grandmaster Uncle, please use your great powers to help us find our junior sister. As long as we can find her, we will take good care of her and never let anything happen to her again."
Xiao Changkong and his four companions followed closely behind Qinghe Daoist, talking as they chased after him.
They could all see that Shen Rugo was starving on the mountain and couldn't contact them, so she had no choice but to try to get down the mountain herself.
But the Jade Maiden Peak is steep and precipitous, with jagged rocks and vines everywhere.
To carve a road down such a high mountain would be incredibly difficult.
Let alone the young Shen Rugo, even if the four of them, all at the Golden Core stage, used powerful spells, it wouldn't be easy for them to clear a path through the mountains.
The five people were filled with anxiety and kept calling out.
"Shut up, everyone!"
The Taoist priest from Qinghe walked out of the cave, turned around and shouted at the five people, then turned and went straight in one direction.
The five of them naturally followed closely behind.
Soon, they noticed something different in one spot below, where some branches and vines showed signs of having been cut down.
Everyone was delighted.
Without a doubt, this was the path down the mountain that Shen Rugo had paved.
Before the five could even cheer, Qinghe Daoist flashed and appeared halfway up the mountain.
Xiao Changkong dared not delay and reached out to grab Xiao Qiushui as they chased after them.
The other three mounted their flying swords and rushed over as well.
"Little junior sister!"
Before the group even landed, Xiao Changkong saw a little girl lying on a rock, wearing a dazzling glass dress given to him by Chen Tianba.
However, her little face was covered in bloodstains, no longer as delicate and perfect as before, clearly scratched by tree branches and vines.
On the little girl's head, a bald little chicken was perched, constantly looking around.
As Qinghe Daoren and Xiao Changkong and the other four appeared, the little chicken jumped up excitedly, flapping its bare wings and chirping happily.
"This child, he's managed to carve out such a long road in less than two days?"
"Did she fall asleep from exhaustion?"
"How many vines must have scratched this child's face to make it look like this?"
When Qinghe Daoren saw Shen Rugo's miserable state, his heart ached and he gently stepped forward.
"Little junior sister!"
Xiao Qiushui and Chen Tianba shouted at the same time and rushed forward.
"You two bastards, don't disturb her!"
With a wave of his sleeve, Qinghe Daoist flung the two men away.
Chen Tianba's ability to fly on a sword is nothing special.
But Xiao Qiushui was in a terrible situation. She screamed "Ah!" and barely managed to grab onto a suspended tree branch, her body hanging in mid-air, swaying precariously.
"Elder brother, save me!"
Xiao Qiushui was not yet able to fly on her sword; she was suspended on the tree branch, with a bottomless abyss below.
Even though he was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, he was so frightened that he screamed.
If you accidentally fall, you'll be half dead, if not killed.
Xiao Changkong reached out and grabbed Xiao Qiushui, pulling her over in mid-air.
But when Xiao Qiushui landed and stood still, she found that Qinghe Daoren and Shen Rugo had already disappeared.
"Grandmaster Qinghe has taken Junior Sister away?"
"Senior Brother, what do we do now?"
Everyone looked at Xiao Changkong.
"What else can we do? Either we go back to our respective peaks, or we wait for Junior Sister on her mountain. Didn't you see? Grandmaster Uncle is really angry!"
Xiao Changkong shook his head, his face full of self-reproach.
We were too careless, leaving our junior sister, a mere Qi Refining Realm child, on this desolate mountain.
"It seems that this is the only way."
Our grandmaster uncle dotes on our junior sister the most; he's probably taken her down the mountain for something to eat. They'll be back soon. Let's wait for her on the mountain!
Lu Haoran nodded.
After a moment of silence, everyone took to the air and carefully examined the mountain path that Shen Rugo had cleared.
"Junior Sister is really amazing, she actually opened up such a long road!"
"What do you mean 'Junior Sister is amazing'? Junior Sister is really starving."
Looking at the mountain path that was barely visible, everyone was deeply moved.
After all, Shen Rugo is only ten years old, her body hasn't fully developed yet, she's still a cute little kid.
From her cave to this mountainside, it's at least two thousand feet away.
"It's all my fault. I was in meditation for two days and didn't check my junior sister's message in time!"
Chen Tianba took out the communication jade slip, filled with regret.
"It's not your fault! Luckily you gave Junior Sister the communication jade slip, otherwise we wouldn't have realized she wanted to go down the mountain!"
"Why didn't I think of sending my junior sister a communication jade slip? I haven't been fully in meditation these past two days!"
"No matter what, once Junior Sister returns, we'll each give her a communication jade slip. We've also divided the work well; someone will look after her every day. We absolutely cannot let this happen again!"
"That won't do. What if we need to go out as a group someday? Junior Sister still won't be able to come down the mountain."
Let's work together now and build a smooth mountain path for her, following the path our junior sister has already created. That way, even if we don't have time to come over, she can easily walk down the mountain by herself.
With a path, my junior sister can get from the top of the mountain to the bottom in two or three hours at most.
"That's a good idea. Let's continue the work that our junior sister didn't finish."
"Although this mountain is high, as long as a flat path is built down, even without our help, Junior Sister can descend the mountain by herself."
"Let's get right to it, everyone work together, and no one should slack off!"
After discussing it for a while, Xiao Changkong, Lu Haoran, and the others set to work together to rebuild the path that Shen Rugo had opened up.
The reason Shen Rugo couldn't get down the mountain wasn't because the mountain was too high, but because there was no way to go.
"I'm so hungry, Zhao Cai, I'm really so hungry!"
Shen Rugo's stomach was rumbling in her sleep, and she was muttering to herself.
This child is really starving.
Now I'll take her to eat the best beast meat.
Qinghe Daoren felt extremely distressed seeing Shen Rugo frowning and crying out for food even in her dreams.
Now that he had spirit stones, if it weren't for the fact that Daoist Xingchen was in seclusion to consolidate his cultivation, he would have already gone down the mountain for a big feast.
After all, the entire Star Palace depends on the two of them.
With a flicker, he left the Star Palace and flew away into the distance.
Let's not worry about that for now, let's take Shen Rugo out for a good meal to help her recover first.
As for Zhaocai, it had already slipped into Shen Rugo's pocket when everyone arrived.
It knew it was ugly and unpopular, and was afraid of being thrown away.
If it were abandoned on this road, with its small size, it would have no chance of getting back to the Star Palace.
Zhao Cai was simply sending a mental message to Shen Rugo, trying to wake her up.
But Shen Rugo never woke up.
