Chapter 108 The wind blows and Qingping ends

Gu Zhuo was speechless. Thinking about the portrait which was really hard to describe, he had to sincerely agree with these three sentences.

There is no truly omniscient being in this world, and the same goes for all things in the world. Even death will disappear with the passage of time, let alone the trace a person leaves between heaven and earth.

He comforted Mingyue softly, promised to drink a glass of wine with her another day, then put his thoughts aside and continued his practice.

The Xingshuang Jie technique is extremely magical, but because it is a new creation, there are many aspects that have not yet been truly perfected.

Those parts that need to be improved cannot be guessed through empty speculation. Practitioners must use their personal experience to supplement and correct them, and this requires time, an extremely long period of time.

Yu Sheng was very clear about this.

For her own reasons, she did not take any precautions in this matter. On the day when Gu Zhuo decided to use Star Frost Tribulation as his practice method, she directly handed him the annotation written by the eldest princess.

However, even so, a person as talented as Gu Zhuo still encountered many difficulties on the road of cultivation, and had to spend a lot of time thinking and solving them before he could continue his path of cultivation.

Perhaps the cause of all this is that Her Royal Highness the Princess has never thought of letting other people practice this technique.

But it doesn't matter.

Whether in the past life or in this life.

Gu Zhuo didn't think that he would be troubled by the word "cultivation".

……

"When the true essence moves to this position, the changes it brings to the body are suddenly different from before, and even the outside world will be affected imperceptibly. What do you think is the most likely reason for this?"

Gu Zhuo's tone was very calm. He asked Yu Sheng for advice sincerely, not feeling ashamed to ask questions from a lower level of knowledge.

After Yu Sheng pondered for a moment, he gave his answer seriously without hiding anything.

Gu Zhuo did not feel the slightest bit ashamed or awkward to ask his nephew a question. After a brief thought, he gave the other party sincere praise to express that this explanation was quite inspiring to him.

It was no longer the next morning, but the afternoon of several days later.

At this time, the two were walking in Yangzhou City, just like ordinary tourists attracted by the autumn colors, and there was nothing special about them.

Because they were indeed just strolling around casually, looking at the scenery, listening to storytelling, and occasionally having a midnight snack, and they did not go looking for the inheritance left by the Taoist master.

the reason is simple.

In the eyes of the two, instead of going to great lengths to enter the vast Yunmeng Ancient Lake to search for clues that were nowhere to be found, getting into conflicts with a large number of people and getting injured in battles, and stepping into this silent and terrifying storm, it would be better to observe the next move of the Wan family and wait for an opportunity for an opportunity to appear.

The Wan family was obviously on guard against such a thing happening. Ever since the disastrous defeat at the lakeside that day, this dominant family had been in serious and low-key silence, as if they had swallowed the huge loss.

As a result, the entire Yangzhou City was quiet, and there seemed to be no difference from the past.

Only a very few people noticed the changes in certain details.

For example, the Sky Patrol Department seems to have begun to pay attention to the inheritance left by the Taoist master in Yunmengze.

For example, the two geniuses from Luoxing Sect and Changqiu Temple reappeared.

For example, Chen Chi no longer has to spend his days doing nothing and getting drunk in brothels.

This disciple of Chaotian Jianque was silent for a long time before saying that he understood after learning that the local Sky Patrol in Yangzhou City had inexplicably changed its attitude and that the local officials looked at him with sincerity and apology, hoping that he would continue to investigate the Taoist master's inheritance.

Chen Chi didn't know what happened after Gu Zhuo and Yu Sheng left that day, so he couldn't help but wonder about the sudden change in the Wan family. He wondered if Master Pei had a sudden inspiration and decided to come and take a look in person, just like when he passed by Wangjing?
If not, then why did the Wan family change their attitude inexplicably?

After thinking about it for so long without any answer, the three of them naturally had doubts in their hearts, but reunion was ultimately a good thing worth celebrating.

"So should we continue investigating this matter?"

Yu Yinchun looked at the other two companions and asked, "I always feel that something is not right about this matter."

"You can't just not check, right?"

Guan Xin Gu shook his head and said, "This is what Master Pei told us to do. We didn't do anything before because we couldn't do it. Now that we can do it but don't do it, it would really be a dereliction of duty."

He thought of Pei Jinge's back and said seriously, "I would rather offend the Wan family than offend Master Pei."

Chen Chi thought about it and said comfortingly: "Actually, think about it from another angle. The Wan family suddenly changed their attitude now. It may be because they have determined that the things left by the Taoist master are not that important and not worth paying too much for. So they quickly invited us back to the stage so that they can step down."

Yu Yinchun and Guan Xingu listened to this and thought that this might really be the case.

The Wan family has been in existence for more than 500 years. There is no reason for them not to understand the harm of acting in two directions. Now that their attitude has changed, the message they convey should be giving up.

Chen Chi suddenly thought of something and asked subconsciously: "How many days has this happened?"

Yu Yinchun said, "We found out about this after the summer festival. It's been about two months now, right?"

Hearing this, Guan Xingu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then this should really be no problem."

Then, he said bluntly: "Two whole months, even if all the people in the Wan family were pigs, it would be enough time for them to dig up the Yunmeng Ancient Lake three feet deep. How could they not find the things that the Taoist Master left behind?"

Yu Yinchun agreed sincerely: "I think there are pigs in the Wan family, but not all of them are pigs, so I agree with your opinion."

Chen Chi thought that this seemed to be the case.

Guan Xingu pondered for a while, but couldn't think of any problem, so he asked, "So what should we do?"

At this point, the three of them looked at each other, and no one seemed to object.

This is the most reasonable explanation.

Otherwise, why did the Wan family suddenly change their attitude?

When Chen Chi was about to make a decision, he suddenly recalled Gu Zhuo's figure and wondered, could this matter have anything to do with you?
But after thinking about it carefully for a moment, he felt that he was really drunk and even had such a weird idea.

If Gu Zhuo had put pressure on the Wan family as the eldest princess's apprentice, how could Yangzhou City still be as peaceful as it is now?
He didn't think any more about it, nodded and said, "Then let's go to Yunmengze, finish the things here quickly, and then return to Shendu immediately to report on our work, so as to avoid any more trouble at night."

They did what they said. Since they met at the summer festival of a certain year, they had a deep understanding with each other. None of them liked to drag their feet. Therefore, before dusk, they had left Yangzhou City and boarded the light boat prepared by the Patrol of the Sky at the pier. According to the clues in their hands, they began to move towards a certain direction deep in the Yunmeng Ancient Lake.

The horrific natural disaster that swept across the southern part of Daqin, as well as Southern Qi and other countries seventeen years ago, undoubtedly caused the most profound and lasting impact by allowing the ancient Yunmeng Lake to reappear on earth.

The Yunmeng Lake covers such a vast area that anyone who goes up to a high building and looks into the distance on a clear day will naturally think of these eight words: vast and boundless.

Even the geese flying south had to find a place to roost along the way when faced with this huge swamp and could not cross it in one breath.

Not to mention ordinary practitioners.

This vast lake, with an area of unknown miles, brutally and unreasonably occupied the lands of several countries including the Qin Dynasty, forcing the Qin Dynasty to establish a powerful navy here.

However, the Qin Dynasty was not the Qin Dynasty of a hundred years ago. No country in the world dared to challenge it, so this navy became a decoration.

Therefore, Yunmeng Ancient Lake has been regarded as a landscape or a place for remembrance since the past seventeen years, and has never become a real battlefield.

Where there is scenery, there are tourists.

Gu Zhuo and Yu Sheng also walked out of Yangzhou City today and rented a small boat from a boatman to enjoy the night view of the Daze in early autumn.

Such a poetic thing did not attract anyone's attention because there were too many precedents in the world.

……

I don't know when the night came quietly.

A thin mist rose from nowhere, lightly covering the moon on the water, and the scene suddenly became like a dream.

This truly lives up to the name Yunmeng.

Chen Chi looked at this scene, not in the mood to appreciate the scenery at all, his face as gloomy as water.

Yu Yinchun and Guan Xingu's faces were equally livid.

This is not because their current location is already far away from Yangzhou City, and is close to leaving the territory of Daqin and entering the territory of Southern Qi.

Dark shadows kept emerging from the clouds.

That is not the truth that has surfaced.

It is the figures of evil demons approaching.

It was as if they were not going to the depths of Yunmeng, but to a feast of evil spirits.

"It's the Destiny Religion."

Yu Yinchun sensed the aura hidden in the fog, his expression becoming increasingly ugly, and he lowered his voice and said, "There are also assassins from Wuyou Mountain, and spies from Nanqi seem to be present as well. I'm not sure about the origins of the other auras."

Guan Xingu said in a deep voice: "Although you didn't sense it, I am sure that there are people from the Wan family watching us from behind."

At this point, how could the three of them not understand that they had guessed wrong, and that the Wan family was going to kill someone with a borrowed knife tonight?
Chen Chi remained silent.

He looked at those figures, felt the undisguised murderous intent, but still couldn't figure out what the Wan family wanted to do.

What is the reason for this?
So he seriously asked everyone present about his confusion.

"Wine, I drank until I was drunk."

"I don't want to do it anymore."

"What I can't understand now is why you won't let the three of us stay out of this, and why you have to wait for us to die before you can feel at ease?"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Chi's expression was already cold and extremely angry.

A sword light suddenly appeared, like the moon in the water leaping out of the water, from virtual to real.

The next moment, a bright sword light broke through the air and pierced into the depths of the mist.

A night wind arose.

……

Yu Sheng sat at the bow of the boat, and there was no trace of Chen Chi and the other two in front of him.

She quietly admired the cold scenery of the moon shrouded in mist without saying a word.

Just like she was unaware of the dramatic changes taking place several miles ahead.

Gu Zhuo stood at the stern, looking at the moon in the sky and occasionally taking a sip of wine.

He suddenly asked, "What do you think of the weather tonight?"

Yu Sheng didn't understand what he meant, so he thought about it and said, "Not bad."

Gu Zhuo said: "I think so too."

As he finished speaking, the sword wind from miles away seemed to blow to this place, and duckweed moved with it.

Yu Sheng felt something in his heart and frowned slightly.

Suddenly, a strong wind came between heaven and earth.

It seems to arise from the green duckweed.

The mist suddenly dissipated.
