Chapter 229 Not worthy

The silver full moon hangs high in the sky.

Sparse stars surround the left and right, while spreading cool light to the earth.

The palace garden stood silently on the edge of the valley.

Master Minglan stood beside him without saying a word.

Quietly, a cloud floated in, blocking the moonlight and stars.

Even the night wind passing through the valley disappeared without a trace at this time, and everything seemed to become silent in an instant.

Gongyuan opened her eyes at this moment and looked towards the deep and long valley ahead.

After a moment, she suddenly smiled leisurely and said, "He has already known about our arrival and is now waking up from his deep sleep."

Minglan asked, "Does the faction leader already know the identity of the people in the valley?"

Gong Yuan was silent for a moment and said slowly, "Speaking of which, this person's status is extremely valuable, and he once shone brightly in the foreign war forty years ago.

But he met Qinglian again half a year ago. A few years later, he was surrounded and suppressed by the imperial sects and fell into the abyss. Since then, there has been no news from him."

"Identity is extremely valuable. It came to prominence forty years ago, and then disappeared more than twenty years ago?"

Ming Lan frowned and thought deeply, "Could this person you are talking about be Wu Xiuxuan, the thirteenth prince of Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who has been undefeated for decades and is known as the overlord?"

Gongyuan did not answer the question directly, but said with emotion, "When I was young, I traveled around the world with a sword. It happened that foreign enemies invaded and civil strife broke out. I was used to seeing people's lives like grass and the world being cold and cold.

He also discovered that all sentient beings have different characteristics, and most of their fates have been determined from the beginning.

Some people are naturally noble since they were born in their mother's womb. Needless to say, they are well-dressed and well-fed, and whatever they do can probably come true.

But the vast majority of other people want nothing, and they have exhausted all their strength just to survive."

Speaking of this, she looked faintly towards the valley.

"Speaking of the royal master who is hiding here, he was a prince for the first half of his life, and he followed the law and ordered the king to follow.

Even in martial arts practice, he has climbed higher step by step, breaking through the realm of mystery and becoming a master, and his life can be said to be perfect and flawless.

Who would have thought that he would abandon everything and join Qinglian at the peak of his life? What do you think this is for?"

Master Minglan shook his head and sighed, "I am stupid, I don't know."

Gong Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Although I am the elder of Qinglian Dharma Protector now, I still don't know what Senior Xiu Xuan thought back then and why he made such a choice."

"That's why, driven by curiosity, I wanted to meet him and explore his mental journey along the way."

As she spoke, she slowly took a step forward, one foot sinking into the dividing line of the valley.

His expression suddenly turned serious at this moment.

In the valley, dense black mushrooms began to grow wildly.

There were countless shining flying insects, sweeping towards her.

The palace seemed unaware of this and moved on.

Soon it sank deep into the valley, and the slender figure disappeared without a trace.

Master Minglan followed closely, but stopped outside the dividing line.

The sound of the palace sounded in his ears, making him afraid to move forward.

"Wu Xiuxuan has awakened and has not yet become a master. If he enters the valley, he will die."

Minglan's expression changed one after another, staring at the boiling valley like a boiling pot, a thought lingering in her heart.

At this time last year, she seemed to still be in a mysterious state.

As a result, just one year later, she had gotten rid of her delusions and became a master!?

Suddenly, a clear and clear female voice slowly sounded from the depths of the insect swarm, penetrating the darkness and spreading to all directions.

"Senior Wu is not a human being, and a ghost is not a ghost. What's the point of going on like this?"

"It's better to just surrender and let me get a glimpse of the secret you have hidden for a long time."

Immediately afterwards, a hoarse and hollow voice came out, sounding like a kind of delirious madness.

"With majestic qi and blood, I am a fairy in the flesh. I should be able to have a full meal!"

boom!

A huge mushroom cloud suddenly rose in the valley.

Then a strong wind blew up and the insects dispersed.

The diffuse fog was also quickly driven away.

Two figures standing opposite each other deep in the valley were revealed.

Ming Lan suddenly narrowed his eyes, his pupils suddenly contracted, revealing a man with a haggard appearance and as thin as a stick.

From a distance, he looks like an upright skeleton.

There are also dense insects burrowing inside and outside its body, which looks weird and terrifying.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred...

The two figures suddenly disappeared.

The cliffs on both sides collapsed suddenly.

In an instant, boulders rolled down and the canyon overturned.

It blocks everything at the bottom of the valley, making it impossible to see the two entangled and colliding figures.

Until dozens of breaths later.

A slender figure soared like a dragon, and then quickly fell from the sky. After landing, it retreated continuously, trampling deep pits into the hard rocky ground.

And a hundred meters away, a skinny man walked slowly.

He looked up at the starry sky, an inexplicable sad smile slowly appeared on his face, and his eyes seemed to regain clarity at this moment.

"I still remember you."

The man spoke slowly, his tone no longer hoarse and crazy, but became gentle and clear, "I didn't expect that the arrogant little girl back then would reach such a height now."

Gongyuan wiped away the blood that overflowed from the corners of her lips and breathed slowly and calmly.

Hearing this, he just showed a faint smile and said, "Senior Wu is so complimentary. This junior cannot bear the responsibility."

The man looked her body up and down, his tone vaguely confused, "You already have the mysterious threads, but why do you come here to disturb me?"

Gong Yuan said, "I have many doubts. Now that I know the whereabouts of Senior Wu, I naturally want to come and seek answers."

He frowned slightly, "In order to answer some questions, I would not hesitate to come here to fight with me, and even let you hurt your roots. Do you think it is worth it?"

Gongyuan smiled leisurely and said, "Although we are all as insignificant as dust in the universe of heaven and earth, but if we can clear up a few more fogs, it will be better than being ignorant, fearless, and confused."

The man lowered his head and became even more confused as he spoke, "How can you be sure that what you have gone through so much trouble to find is the ultimate truth?"

Gong Yuan shook his head, "People in the world are stupid and will only believe what they want to believe and look for evidence to confirm it. The younger generation is born as a human being and is naturally unavoidable.

But since I have put in a lot of effort, even if I am wrong, I can only continue until the road ahead is cut off."

"You are very good, and your will is stronger than me."

He slowly raised his head, his eyes were clear, and he sighed with emotion.

"If I had been like this back then, maybe I wouldn't have had my thoughts collapsed and my mind shaken."

After a pause, he continued, "You are taking the path Gui Shufang originally envisioned. I don't know whether it is right or wrong, and where it will lead you in the end.

But if you have the opportunity, you can go to Xuanwu Dao Feng Yan Lao Dao to communicate and discuss, maybe you can get some reference from him."

"Xuanwu Taoist Master Feng Huan has long since passed away. He died at the hands of Xuanwu Taoist disciples whom he personally trained."

"I also searched for his closed disciple, but ended up losing several elders under my command, but I never had the chance to meet her."

When Gong Yuan said this, he bowed and said, "Since you don't get what you ask for, there is no need to push too hard. It is better to have senior Xiu Xuan as a reference today than for the juniors to go alone and grope alone in the dark."

The man nodded slightly, "The mysterious threads are not necessarily bad, and the out-of-control worms in my body are not necessarily good either. If you are interested, you can take it yourself."

He spoke slowly, and the light in his eyes gradually dissipated.

Then countless flying insects emerged from its mouth and began to gnaw at the dry body.

They cried happily, and golden light flashed on their backs at the same time, like one-eyed golden pupils that kept blinking.

Gongyuan watched quietly as the man was devoured cleanly.

Then he waved his sleeves and pocketed all the fluttering scale insects that were about to fly.

"Now that the matter is over, Junior Brother Minglan can return to the Qinglin Mountain Gate. This will prevent the Qingyang Courtyard from being without an owner for many days and having no one in charge of the overall situation."

She turned around and left, but suddenly stopped halfway and looked back behind her.

He slowly said, "Junior Brother Minglan, your state of mind is already in chaos. I am afraid that you will no longer be able to suppress your cultivation level, and you will soon enter the mysterious realm."

Master Minglan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
