Chapter 304: Gongsun Sanniang's Female Disciple
"Huge Brother, what should we do?" Red Sister asked, her voice choked as she leaned against Cheng Hu.
Cheng Hu held Red Sister tightly, trembling as he said, "Don't be afraid. I've already sent out a distress signal. They will definitely come to rescue us."
The two of them realized that as long as they stood still, the Eighteen Women surrounding them also remained motionless.
The eighteen naked women stood there like statues, unmoving, but the swords in their hands gleamed with a dazzling cold light.
Cheng Hu couldn't bear to look at those women; just a glance would send a sharp pain through his eyes, as if they had been pricked by needles, even causing temporary blindness.
"I'm scared!" Red Sister dared not cry out loud, tears rolling down her cheeks.
It wasn't just Red Sister who was afraid; Cheng Hu was terrified too. He had already wet himself.
To prove he was a man, Cheng Hu gritted his teeth and stammered, "Red Sister, my brother is coming. They are rushing here right now. He will definitely save us!"
Once upon a time, whenever Cheng Hu heard someone mention Xiao Yun's name, he wished he could eat his flesh and drink his blood; he hated him to the core.
But now, the person Cheng Hu longed for the most was Xiao Yun. He hoped he would suddenly descend from the heavens and rescue them from the grasp of these witches.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that nothing in the world was more precious than family ties.
After all, he and Xiao Yun were born of the same mother; Xiao Yun was his brother.
Cheng Hu knew that for their mother's sake, Xiao Yun would surely come to save him. Otherwise, Xiao Yun wouldn't have brought him and Red Sister to Panlong Mountain.
"Huge Brother, as long as we can leave here tonight, we must follow Brother Xiao Yun from now on and learn how to be good people!" Red Sister said.
Cheng Hu sighed and replied, "Red Sister, I will listen to you!"
Red Sister lay in Cheng Hu's arms, secretly glancing at the women and whispered, "Brother Tiger, have you noticed something strange about those women? Their expressions suddenly seem off..."
"I... I don't dare to look at them. Uh, what's wrong?" Cheng Hu asked fearfully.
"Uh," Red Sister struggled to find the right words to describe the oddness of those women, and after a moment said, "I noticed that after they heard our conversation, they looked at us as if they were laughing..."
Cheng Hu curiously asked, "Are they really looking at us and laughing?"
Red Sister nodded and said, "It's true. If you don't believe me, take a look!"
"I don't dare to look!" Cheng Hu exclaimed in panic.
Red Sister suddenly had a wild thought and whispered, "Do you think they know Brother Xiao Yun? Maybe when they heard us mention his name, they started laughing?"
No way? Cheng Hu thought, could Xiao Yun know them?
...
More than an hour later, Xiao Yun and his group finally reached the peak of Yantai Mountain.
Standing at the summit, the mountain wind whistled past their ears, quickly drying the sweat on their bodies.
They arrived at Inkstone Pavilion, and not far ahead of them was a small peak that jutted out—this was what they had seen from the foot of the mountain, Horse Head.
In the middle of that small peak was a cave taller than a person.
Xiao Yun opened his Spiritual Sense again and looked into the cave but still did not find Cheng Hu and Red Sister.
It seemed that his Spiritual Sense was truly sealed.
"Cheng Hu and the others must be inside that cave. Let's go take a look!" Old Village Chief said.
Xiao Yun replied, "Black Fox, White Cat, you two stay back while I lead the way. Little Bell will follow behind me, and let Old Village Chief be in the middle!"
He was afraid that something unexpected might happen, so he was ready to protect the Old Village Chief at any moment.
The Old Village Chief handed a flashlight he had brought with him to Xiao Yun.
Soon, the group arrived at the cave.
Xiao Yun turned on the flashlight and shone it ahead in the cave. He suddenly felt that this place was very familiar, as if this cave had been his home in a past life, and he was very clear about its layout.
Why is this happening?
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his mind; he realized that it was the effect of the Seven-Colored Heart Pearl within him, after all, that Heart Pearl was cultivated by Wu Daozi with great effort.
This meant that the Painted Immortal, Wu Daozi, often came to this cave back in the day.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yun's heart began to race.
Could it be that the Spiritual Eyes are right here?
Unexpectedly, Cheng Hu and Red Sister, this peculiar pair, had stumbled into the Spirit Eye Cave by accident.
Could it be that everything was arranged in advance?
Xiao Yun quickly walked forward.
At the end of the cave, a stone wall blocked their path.
"What? No way forward? Where are Cheng Hu and Red Sister?" Little Bell became anxious.
The Old Village Chief also asked urgently, "Xiao Yun, did we take a wrong turn? Are there other caves on Yantai Peak?"
"We didn't go wrong; Cheng Hu and Red Sister should be right inside!" Xiao Yun replied confidently.
On the wall covered with patterns, Xiao Yun gently pressed a certain point as if he were turning on a wall lamp. With a loud rumble, two stone doors quickly opened to both sides.
Before everyone appeared another cave, or more accurately, a stone chamber.
Inside the hall, it was bright as day.
Cheng Hu and Red Sister were entangled like two large worms, their faces filled with indescribable fear.
Around them, where were the eighteen women holding swords?
"Cheng Hu!"
"Red Sister..."
Little Bell and Old Village Chief called out.
"Brother, you finally came!" Cheng Hu pulled Red Sister out of the stone chamber and ran to Xiao Yun, bursting into tears like a child.
Red Sister hugged Little Bell, gasping for breath as she said, "Master, if you had come any later, those women would have killed us!"
Little Bell approached the stone chamber, scanning the surroundings and asking, "Where are the women you saw?"
Cheng Hu and Red Sister snapped back to reality, their eyes widening in shock as they exclaimed, "Huh? They were just here; why are they all gone?"
Xiao Yun stopped in front of a wall and smiled, "They are still here!"
"Where?" Old Village Chief asked.
Xiao Yun pointed at a mural on the wall and said, "In this painting."
The group gathered around, and indeed there was a massive mural on the stone wall depicting eighteen stunningly beautiful women holding long swords and performing various sword-dancing movements.
This mural was created by Wu Daozi.
"Ah, how could this be?" Cheng Hu exclaimed. He clearly saw eighteen women surrounding Red Sister and himself; how did they suddenly turn into figures in the mural?
Xiao Yun understood Cheng Hu's doubts, but he already knew the intricacies in his heart. He didn't want to explain it to Cheng Hu, as even if he did, Cheng Hu wouldn't understand.
He stared intently at the figures in the mural, and in a daze, he felt as if he had entered the mural itself.
In the mural, eighteen beautiful women smiled at Xiao Yun. One of them sheathed her sword and said with a smile, "Are you Xiao Yun?"
Xiao Yun's eyes were fixed on those women, momentarily overwhelmed; each one was a stunning beauty. Mud Horse, could this be the temptation of Guoguo?
In fact, those beautiful women were not completely naked; they wore a piece of red cloth across their chests and ribbons around their waists. They styled their hair in various ways, including high buns, floral buns, conical buns, cloud buns, and cicada buns. The most interesting was the half-up bun, which resembled a curled lotus leaf. Viewed from the side, it appeared large and thick, but from the front or back, it looked thin. These hairstyles were very popular during the Tang Dynasty.
Hearing the woman's question, Xiao Yun smiled calmly and replied, "Yes!" As he responded to her question, he gulped down a large mouthful of saliva.
The soft and ample curves of these beauties were striking; their skin was as white as snow, and their figures were alluringly shaped—truly breathtaking.
"Giggling... So you're just a typical lecherous fellow!" the woman laughed, her charm causing her to tremble.
Xiao Yun was sweating profusely and asked, "Can you tell me who you are?"
The woman smiled sweetly and said, "We are all disciples under Gongsun Sanniang, also known as the Eighteen Daughters of Hong!"
Speaking of Gongsun Sanniang, historically known as Madam Gongsun, she was skilled in swordsmanship and a famous sword maiden of the Tang Dynasty. Du Fu once wrote: "Once there was a beauty named Gongsun, whose dance with swords moved all around. The spectators felt disheartened like mountains; heaven and earth bowed for a long time..."
In those days, Wu Daozi had a close relationship with Gongsun Sanniang. It was said that they were childhood sweethearts who lost touch due to family misfortunes. They reunited years later on the streets of Chang'an. Wu Daozi was invited into the palace by Tang Xuanzong, specifically to paint for the royal family, while Gongsun Sanniang trained eighteen outstanding sword maidens for this Tang emperor, performing sword dances for his enjoyment.
Later on, unable to endure the loneliness of palace life, Wu Daozi escaped through murals but little did people know that when he fled the palace, he also brought along those eighteen beautiful female disciples of Gongsun Sanniang.
"Xiao Yun, we sisters are here under the orders of Wu Painting Saint, guarding the Spiritual Eyes of Panlong Mountain, waiting for your arrival. Now that you are here, we should leave; your guardianship task is now entrusted to you!" said the woman with a smile.
At this point, she took out a long red thread and handed it to Xiao Yun, saying, "As long as you place this red thread at the cave entrance, no one will be able to approach the Spiritual Eyes!"
"What is your name? And where... where are you going?" Xiao Yun asked anxiously, his eyes fixed on the graceful figure of the woman.
He simply couldn't bear to see these stunningly beautiful women suddenly disappear from his side!
"Pervert,"
the woman blushed under his gaze and laughed lightly, "My name is Yun Feiyan. Naturally, I am going where I need to be. Why do you ask so much?"
"Uh, will we have a chance to meet again?" Xiao Yun licked his dry lips and asked again.
Yun Feiyan seemed to want to tease Xiao Yun. She proudly pushed her ample bosom forward and approached him, exhaling softly, "As long as there is fate, we will naturally meet again one day!"
Xiao Yun could tell that Yun Feiyan was the leader among these women and the most beautiful of them all.
"Beautiful sister," Xiao Yun gathered all his courage and said, "Uh, when we part, can we kiss once to leave a memory?"
Kissing a beauty from the Tang Dynasty would surely be a unique experience.
He thought happily to himself that since the heavens had arranged for him to meet them, how could he easily let this opportunity slip away?
Opportunities are fleeting; they do not come again. Perhaps after kissing Gongsun Sanniang and the other Eighteen Daughters of Hong, it might even help enhance his own skills! The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
