Chapter 284: 284. No bed either

As soon as I went up there, I saw that bunch of young people lying on the ground, struggling to get over their fatigue. I took another look around and indeed found no trace of human habitation. When we were walking towards the mountain, the incense at the small Land God Temple on the hillside was thriving, but looking at this place...

You really don't know until you compare, and when you do, it's a shock.

The place he came from was truly desolate.

The Mountain Wild Daoist saw me looking around and explained with a smile:

"My senior brother has been in seclusion for many years, right in that little house at the very back. Normally, you all can't disturb him. I've never taken disciples myself, so basically all the disciples here were recruited by my senior brother. Some were found after they got lost and collapsed nearby the mountain, and others were intending to jump off a cliff. They were persuaded by my senior brother after they managed to climb up."
