Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 743: Chapter 741, The Guardian of the Desolate Village

Qian Duoduo said, ”Most of them are experts in the Qi Refinement Realm, and there are a few stronger ones in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Although the Kunlun Mountains Minor World is home to some Immortals in the Golden Core Stage Realm, such powerful beings are as rare as dragon’s teeth throughout the entire Kunlun Mountains Minor World.”

Xu Wendong had previously inquired about some information on the Kunlun Mountains Minor World, but at that time, Qian Duoduo didn’t know much about its background.

However, with many experts from the Kunlun Mountains Minor World emerging into the mundane world recently, he was lucky enough to learn some details.

Xu Wendong nodded slightly, thinking to himself, ”My current strength has reached the Third Layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and with the Dragon Scale Sword in my hand, along with that mysterious iron piece, I could even contend with a mid-Foundation Establishment Stage expert.”

”Even if I can’t win, I can enter the minor world of Penglai Immortal Island at any time, ensuring I remain undefeated.”

As Xu Wendong and his companions were on their way towards the Qinling Mountains, the incident of Han Kai and Wang Jun streaking at the airport spread across the internet.

After all, in this information era, any news with enough heat would be amplified instantly; let alone two men with their underwear on their heads streaking outside Shaanxi Province Airport.

This incident sparked considerable online debate, with many speculating about the identities of the two streaking individuals.

Han Jicheng, Han Kai’s father.

As a coal mining tycoon in Shaanxi Province, the Han Family possessed assets worth hundreds of billions, ranking among the top five billionaires in Shaanxi Province.

He also saw the online news and the streaking figures, and immediately burst into laughter, ”Is this old guy out of his mind, streaking publicly at the airport? Aren’t they ashamed of...?”

Before he could finish the sentence, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Because he saw a crescent-shaped birthmark on the shoulder of one of the streakers, a mark he knew all too well. It was his son Han Kai’s.

He quickly picked up the phone and dialed his son’s number, but the person who answered wasn’t his son, it was a bodyguard.

”What the hell is going on? Why is Han Kai streaking publicly outside the airport?” Han Jicheng was furious. Though his son’s head was covered by underwear, others couldn’t recognize him, but such behavior was intolerable for Han Jicheng.

The bodyguard, trembling with fear, explained the events that transpired.

”The Qian Family has really gone too far!” Han Jicheng said through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing coldly, ”Hurry and catch up with the young master, let them get in the car directly, ignore what Qian Duoduo said.”

”Daring to make my son a public spectacle, does the Qian Family really think they can cover the sky with one hand in Shaanxi Province?”

On the other side.

Xu Wendong and his companions drove for more than two hours and finally arrived at a village named Moonwatch Village. This village was situated at the foot of the Qinling Mountains, facing south and overlooking the north. Due to its remote location and rugged roads, many villagers had moved out.

Nowadays, the large village had no residents and appeared quite desolate.

After getting out of the car, Qian Duoduo took out the prepared food and distributed it to Xu Wendong and Ye Qingxin, saying while eating, ”Wendong, the mountain range behind us is the Qinling Mountains. It’s said to be an extremely important dragon vein of our country!”

”The Qinling Mountains stretch continuously from east to west, serving as the dividing line between the north and south of our country.”

Xu Wendong nodded slightly, ”The Spiritual Energy here is indeed quite abundant.”

Because it was summer, the vegetation in the mountains appeared particularly lush, coupled with the undulating and overlapping peaks, making one marvel at the craftsmanship of nature.

”Meat, meat, meat!”

At this moment.

A filthy, disheveled figure, emanating an unbearable stench, appeared in the bushes. He was like a wild man, crawling on the ground using both hands and feet, with a burning gaze fixed on the roasted chicken in the hands of the three.

The sudden appearance of the figure startled the three, none had expected there to be someone in this dilapidated village, let alone appearing silently nearby.

”Whoa, you’re still alive?” Qian Duoduo gasped in shock, his eyes full of astonishment.

Xu Wendong curiously asked, ”Do you know him?”

Qian Duoduo nodded, ”I came here three years ago, I remember it was the winter during the lunar month, with temperatures around minus fifteen degrees. This guy appeared once when we were having a meal.”

”Although we gave him some food, we didn’t think he could survive that harsh winter. Truly surprising that he’s still alive.” Saying this, he took an unopened roasted chicken from his backpack and tossed it to the person.

Ye Qingxin casually remarked, ”Is he the so-called guardian of the village?”

Qian Duoduo said, ”Miss Ye is right. This guy is called Tiezhu, and indeed he is the guardian of Moonwatch Village. It’s said that he was born with intellectual disabilities, acting crazily and erratically all day long.”

”Initially, when his parents were alive, they could restrain him. But after they died of illness, Tiezhu completely let loose, frequently terrorizing children in the village, snatching their snacks, stealing chickens and dogs with startling proficiency.”

”In fact, the villagers of Moonwatch Village moved out of the mountains partly due to poverty, rough roads, and also because they couldn’t put up with Tiezhu’s actions.”

Qian Duoduo had consulted a villager from Moonwatch Village when he went into the mountains previously. These details were learned from that villager.

Ye Qingxin continued, ”So after the villagers moved out, they just let Tiezhu fend for himself?”

Qian Duoduo shook his head, ”Not really, I heard that before the villagers moved out, they specifically contacted the provincial welfare federation, hoping it would take in Tiezhu.”

”Although the welfare federation’s personnel actively followed up on this matter and brought Tiezhu to its facilities, arranging for someone to take care of him, this guy rejected the lifestyle there, even resorting to hunger strikes to protest.”

”The comrades at the welfare federation were helpless, consulted with psychological experts, and eventually decided to let Tiezhu return to normal life. So they sent him back to Moonwatch Village.”

Xu Wendong drank a sip of water and said, ”The world of the mountain guardians is different from ours; we can’t judge their world with our normal mindset.”

His own village also had a guardian, who was not much different from Tiezhu in habits, proficient in stealing chickens and dogs, and snatching children’s snacks.

Yet, if discovered by adults, they would reveal a naive and innocent smile, evoking both pity and helplessness.

Indeed, when facing so-called village guardians, even knowing they have stolen your poultry or your child’s snacks, you can’t just beat them up.

”Let’s get going after we’re done!” Xu Wendong devoured his food swiftly, glanced at the map in his hand, and pointed to a narrow gorge, ”Our task today is to reach the vicinity of One Line Sky and set up camp there tonight.”

Xu Wendong didn’t know where the Medicine King Valley was, but he had heard from Qian Duoduo upon arrival that there were traces of human habitation near One Line Sky.

Thus, One Line Sky became their first stop in the search for Medicine King Valley.
