Moreover, the Tang Sect didn't seem to be completely isolated. At the very least, some people in the mountains knew of the existence of the Tang Sect. For example, this Miaojiang witch doctor, Master Ge Da, knew of it.
Perhaps the reason why the outside world didn't know of the Tang Sect was because the mountains were too desolate. It was quite troublesome to come out, not to mention that the people in the mountains were completely out of touch with the outside world.
"Is something the matter, Master?"
Master Ge Da seemed a little disappointed. Qin Fang noticed and couldn't help but ask.
He vaguely felt that Master Ge Da seemed to have some connection with the Tang Sect. Shangguan Tianling's words still lingered in Qin Fang's ears. It would be nonsense to say that he wasn't interested in this mysterious Tang Sect.
At least he knew a little bit of information. It was also good to take precautions …
However, Master Ge Da seemed to have some secrets. Whether it was out of kindness or out of respect for such a respectable old man, Qin Fang also wanted to help a little.
"The Tang Sect has been hidden in the mountains for hundreds of years. They come out once every ten years to select some children with good aptitudes to cultivate in the mountains … My grandson was sent to the mountains when he was seven years old. It's been more than ten years since then, but there's been no news at all …"
Grandmaster Ge Da looked at Qin Fang and Song Qingshan and said leisurely.
Listening to Master Ge Da's tireless explanation, Qin Fang finally understood what was going on. Master Ge Da was now very old, more than seventy years old. The lifespan of the people in the mountains wasn't very long. At this age, they weren't too far away from the end of their lives.
Master Ge Da's son was once the bravest warrior in the tribe. It was a pity that he didn't come back from hunting in the mountains …
This grandson was Master Ge Da's only relative, but he hadn't seen him for more than ten years. Master Ge Da was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see him again until he died. If that happened, even if he died, he wouldn't be able to rest in peace.
The reason why he valued Qin Fang and Song Qingshan so much, besides the fact that Qin Fang and Song Qingshan came from the mountains, was that he could see that Qin Fang and Song Qingshan possessed powerful martial arts.
The Tang Sect was an ancient sect that had been passed down for thousands of years. Their skills in hidden weapons, poisons, and traps were quite powerful. In addition, every disciple of the Tang Sect had to practice martial arts.
This mountain was very desolate, and the conditions were very bad. Moreover, the mountain people were quite xenophobic. Almost no outsiders would come to Jinshan. But Qin Fang and the others came in, which was a bit strange.
In addition, both Qin Fang and Song Qingshan were very strong, and the two of them were so young, so they must be from a famous sect. Grandmaster Ge Da didn't know the real situation of Qin Fang and Song Qingshan entering the mountain, so he naturally thought that the two of them were going to the Tang Sect, so he asked this question.
If Qin Fang and Song Qingshan really went to the Tang Sect, he wanted to ask Qin Fang to pass a message to his grandson. Even if he couldn't see his grandson, at least he would know that his grandson was living a good life. Then, he would be able to leave with peace of mind …
"Grandmaster, since you know that the Tang Sect is in the mountains, have you never entered the mountains to search for it?"
Qin Fang couldn't help but ask again.
"Alas, who said that I didn't look for it?
It's just that the Tang Sect is illusory. I entered the mountain dozens of times, but I returned in failure every time. I couldn't even find the mountain gate. "
Grandmaster Ge Da shook his head and smiled bitterly. After so many years, he missed his child so much. How could he not look for it? It was just that the reality was too cruel.
"I know a little about this. The people of the Tang Sect are proficient in the art of mechanisms, which is the legendary array. Many ancient sects are like this. Unless you know where their mountain gate is and know the art of mechanisms, you can't enter it … Otherwise, not only can you not enter the mountain gate, but your life may also be in danger."
Song Qingshan, who was next to him, explained simply, "For example, the inner temple of the Shaolin Temple where Monk Wukong is located is hidden in the array. It is said that the Mu Ren Alley is the only passage out of the mountain …"
After hearing this explanation, although it was just a rumor, it seemed to be the case. After all, there were so many people in the Shaolin Temple. It was impossible for everyone to stay on the mountain.
Moreover, Mount Song was only so big. If the inner temple really existed, it was impossible for it not to be discovered. This array was definitely real.
Not to mention, after Qin Fang obtained the Thousand Arts Skill, he already knew about the array techniques of the Qimen Dunjia.
"I'm sorry, Grandmaster …"
After understanding this, Qin Fang also felt somewhat apologetic.
The reason they entered the mountain was entirely because Wen Yan's grandmother was about to pass away. He accompanied Wen Yan to see her for the last time.
Even before this, his knowledge of the Tang Sect was limited to the name and the existence of such a sect. As for the rest, he knew nothing.
"Alas, it's not your fault … I was too impatient!"
Grandmaster Ge Da waved his hand. He naturally knew that this matter had nothing to do with Qin Fang and the others. It was his own thinking that was a little off, but his expression was quite disappointed.
"Grandmaster, what is your grandson's name? Perhaps we will happen to find the Tang Sect when we enter the mountain this time. This way, we can pass on the message to him …"
Seeing the old man's disappointed expression, Qin Fang couldn't help but feel moved. Although Qin Fang knew that this possibility could be said to be very small, he still gave the old man hope.
"My grandson changed his surname to Tang after entering the Tang Sect. He is called Tang Xing …"
Grandmaster Ge Da was so old that he hated everything. How could he not see that Qin Fang was only doing this to comfort him?
However, just as Qin Fang thought, this was also a kind of hope. Perhaps a miracle would happen, so he didn't refuse Qin Fang's kindness and immediately told Qin Fang his grandson's name.
Although the Tang Sect was an ancient sect, it was different from other large sects in that it existed in the form of a family. However, such a large family had been in seclusion for hundreds of years, so it was impossible for them to always marry close relatives. Therefore, when they went out to select disciples, it was not only for the legacy of the sect, but also for the continuation of the family bloodline.
However, after entering the Tang Sect, they naturally couldn't use their previous names. They all changed their surnames to Tang …
"Grandmaster, please don't worry. If we happen to find the Tang Sect, we will definitely pass on your message to Tang Xing!"
After knowing the name, Qin Fang naturally patted his chest and promised.
The Tang Sect was too illusory. Whether it was Qin Fang, Song Qingshan, or Grandmaster Ge Da, they didn't have much hope. Therefore, this matter was just a simple matter. Soon, the three of them chatted for a while. Since it was already very late, they went back to rest.
The latter half of the night was relatively quiet. That child Bali went to rest after applying the medicine. There was no danger, and it was believed that he would make a full recovery soon.
Early the next morning, the group set off from the Luosang Tribe and hurried towards their destination — the Na Yi Tribe, which was more than ten miles away.
Unlike yesterday, Zhuo Da and the rest didn't have the slightest bit of resistance in their hearts. They were prepared almost early in the morning. The few simple sedan chairs from before immediately became sturdier and more pleasing to the eye.
The number of sedan bearers had more than doubled compared to yesterday. There were more than thirty people crowded there, fighting to be the sedan bearers. Half of them were Zhuo Da and his subordinates, while the other half were the locals of the Luosang Tribe.
The number of sedan chairs had also increased from three to five. This meant that not only did the three members of the Wen Family have a sedan chair, even Qin Fang and Song Qingshan had one.
In response, Qin Fang and Song Qingshan could only smile helplessly and bitterly.
Yesterday, Qin Fang saw that Zhuo Da was too arrogant, and forced them to be sedan bearers in order to reduce the trouble. Although they found a suitable reason to temporarily submit to him, they couldn't help but feel some resistance in their hearts.
However, after this night, things were completely different. This wasn't an ordinary submission, they were almost treated like emperors …
More than thirty sedan bearers were fighting for the sedan chair. It was said that this was a rare opportunity for them, or else there would be more people coming.
Qin Fang and Song Qingshan had no choice but to sit on the sedan chair as well, and let these people carry them towards their destination. However, when they first entered the mountains, their small group of five had now become a group of more than forty people, majestically heading towards the depths of the mountains.
Looking at the situation, those who knew that they were being sent to the Na Yi Tribe would think that they were just going to attack a tribe …
This change was noticed by the three members of the Wen Family. Although they knew that these mountain people treated them so well because of their relationship with Song Qingshan, in their eyes, Song Qingshan was Qin Fang's bodyguard. Out of respect for Song Qingshan, Qin Fang had the ability to do so.
Originally, they were very satisfied with Qin Fang as their future son-in-law. Now that he had made such a scene, there was no need to mention how happy they were. The two of them sat on the sedan chair and winked at each other, communicating silently.
As for Wen Yan, she blushed as she watched her parents communicate. From time to time, she would sneak a glance at Qin Fang, recalling the things that mother and daughter talked about last night.
Auntie Song was quite satisfied with Qin Fang, but last night, when the mother and daughter were having a heart-to-heart talk, Auntie Song seriously asked about the tension between Qin Fang and Wen Yan, and reminded her daughter not to let Qin Fang succeed so early …
However, after the bear slaughter and rescue incident, the mother and daughter went back to rest and had a heart-to-heart talk again. This time, Auntie Song's tone took a 180-degree turn. She was still there reminding Wen Yan to seize the opportunity, to strike when needed, and to not let the wrong person go …
Of course, she deliberately reminded Wen Yan to pay attention to contraception for the time being. After all, Wen Yan still had to study. Although she also hoped to have a grandson, she had to at least wait until Wen Yan graduated from university.
