Flying Dust

bang: a famous sect that either the disciples or the leaders all are beggars]! 

 

The branch altar was located in the Chen family’s compound.
It was one of the three wealthy families in Qiu City.

 

Mo Fei Chen did not go through the main entrance, after all, if he was seen by other members, it would not be convenient for him to search around.
Although he thought of waiting until it was dark before entering, he was afraid that Jun Wushuang, who was waiting in Shengmi town would be anxious.

 

Since Yu Jin was going to be punished, he would be imprisoned in some kind of secret room or dungeon, according to the pattern in Wu Xia novels.

 

The area was guarded by the disciples, but not very strict.

 

Mo Fei Chen stood on the roof of the room and saw two disciples, one of them holding a jar of wine and the other carrying a whip, walking under the eaves.

 

“You know, this is really a pain in the ass5(arduous, fruitless and thankless task).
No matter what, Yu Jin is still the Protector of the sect.
The Vice Leader told us to punish him and although we were only carrying out orders, when Yu Jin came out, he’ll make fun of us.”

“That’s why the branch altar master didn’t do the whip himself, so that when Protector Yu blames him later, then the altar master will push it to both of us?”

 

“Damn, what a messy thing to do!”

 

Mo Fei Chen was happy to see the two men go around the winding corridor and seemingly open the door of a room, he gently took a step down and followed them.
It was lunchtime and there were even fewer disciples taking their patrol.
Mo Fei Chen poked a hole in the window and saw them walk up to the shrine in the hall, twisting the Buddha’s raised hand so that the shrine turned outwards.
It seemed that the secret room was down there.

 

Mo Fei Chen did not dare to beat the grass and startle the snake—act rashly and alert the enemy, but hid behind a rockery in the courtyard.
After about half an incense stick had passed, the two men came out again.
When they were gone, Mo Fei Chen used his invisible sword qi to pass through the gap in the door.
He knocked down the latch of the door, before then he pushed through the door and turned the Buddha’s hand to enter the secret passage.

 

The smell of mold and dirty water rushed into his nostrils, Mo Fei Chen was able to suppress the urge to vomit.

 

The further down he went, the more he realized that he was in front of a watery prison, in the middle of which a man hung, topless, the eerie light on the wall finding its way onto his patchy, jagged body, bloodstain streaked across it.
The other man’s head was bowed, his hair covering his eyes, and he was still stubborn in his dispiritedness.

 

“Yu Shi Xiong?” As if Mo Fei Chen’s heart was pulled, he called out gently.

 

The man’s body, riddled with scars, suddenly trembled as he slowly raised his head… It was exactly Yu Jin.

 

“Fei Chen…what are you doing here?”

 

Mo Fei Chen was just about to go down into the water when Yu Jin stopped him, “Don’t come here!”

 

“Why?” Mo Fei Chen looked at him and felt a pain like a knife being twisted in his heart.

 

“It’s nothing serious, it looks deep but the fact is really nothing.” Yu Jin’s voice was still calm, but with a little more of a low and hoarse voice.

 

Mo Fei Chen took a breath, calmed himself down and said, “Yu Shi Xiong, come back to Kun Yun Peak with me, okay?”

 

Yu Jin shook his head.

 

“The Mirror Water (Jing Shui) Sect is now no longer just a ‘heresy’, it will probably be a cult in the future.
Look at what Leng Yufang has done, she has already made enemies in the martial arts world!”

“What does it matter if it’s righteous or evil?” Yu Jin smiled, “Last time you asked me how I became the Protector of the Jing Shui Sect,right?”

 

“Your kung fu is good.”

 

“Hehe…” Yu Jin shook his head, “I climbed up by stepping on Leng Yufang’s skirt.”

 

“What——?” Mo Fei Chen’s eyebrows raised, “That… woman’s appearance is not bad, but her age is really big, right…? Shi Xiong, how can you ‘eat it down’?”

 

Yu Jin laughed softly, “She is my sister.
Our mother gave birth to me, this ‘her little brother’, when she was fourteen…She wanted to follow Wen Xin, the sect leader of Jing Shui Sect.
Our mother died of a serious illness after giving birth to me and since we have no father, there was no one to take care of me.
She then thought the way out and left me at the foot of Kun Yun Mountain… Then I was found by your father, Mo Chang and he brought me up to the mountain.”

 

“So it was you who carried me up to the mountain.
Is this a cycle of karma?” Mo Fei Chen shook his head, “Leng Yufang is your elder sister, so no matter what happens to you in Jing Shui Sect, you don’t intend to leave.”

 

Yu Jin didn’t answer him, he just said, “Fei Chen, you must always be well, keep living, always be as happy as you were at that time.
You are right, ‘The world is like a tide, people are like water, how many people can eventually return (alive) from Jiang Hu’.
I don’t know if I can go back, but if you are no longer Mo Fei Chen, then I … won’t have anything that I think (cherish, take into account) about.”

 

Mo Fei Chen sighed and turned around, just as he did seven years ago when Yu Jin also watched him leave.

 

“Yu Mutou…we’ll meet again some day!”

 

Mo Fei Chen ran away and left the Chen family’s compound.
Once he was out, he stood under a jujube tree and pant vigorously.

 

Everyone had their own path to follow and others were unable to change it.

 

Mo Fei Chen looked up at the floating clouds in the sky and curled up with a smile, nothing to be sad about.

 

He was waiting for Yu Jin and He Yunfeng was probably waiting for him on the mountain.

 

Moreover, Jun Wushuang was hoping for him to quickly meet with him at one of the brothels in Shengmi town.

 

His heart relaxed, Mo Fei Chen used his ‘riding the wind’ steps and headed for Shengmi town.
