A chill ran down Fu Qingyu's spine, and she held back to keep her face from changing drastically.
Although she could feel that Gongsun Subaru had no ill intentions, she still wanted to run away with Fu Yu.
The escape talisman held in his hand was about to be activated.
Gongsun Subaru said hurriedly: "Little friend, wait a minute!"
"I am an old friend of the Fu clan, and I came to Dongzhou for this old friend. But I didn't expect that the Fu family has undergone tremendous changes. Now I and my little friend have the same intention, they both want to find out why the Fu clan was exterminated. You, avenge the Fu family!"
Old friend?
Come to Dongzhou?
Find out the reason for the genocide and avenge the Fu family?
Fu Qingyu doesn't trust others gullibly, but Gongsun Subaru's words contain a lot of information.
Therefore, let’s put aside whether we have acquaintances or not, and let’s put aside whether we want revenge or not. He is not from Dongzhou, so isn’t that...
Fu Qingyu loosened her palms slightly, raised her eyes and looked at the old man with gray beard in front of her, and saw that he had completely released his restrained breath. Even with her out-of-body consciousness cultivation, she still couldn't detect his state. It can be judged that his cultivation level is unfathomable, far higher than the out-of-body realm, and it is definitely not just a distraction.
Since he came from outside Dongzhou, he must be a strong man who has already refined the emptiness and the Tao. As for whether it was a combination, a tribulation, or the legendary Mahayana, it was not something she, a "little monk" with only Ling Jingjing's cultivation level, could judge.
"What I said is true." As if he was afraid that Fu Qingyu wouldn't believe it, Gongsun Subaru took something out of his arms and said, "Little friend, please look at this thing!"
What he handed over was a piece of jade carved with lotus flowers.
Turn over and the word "Fu" is engraved on the back.
Fu Qingyu took the jade bi, and Gongsun Piao stared at it intently, as if he cherished the jade and was afraid that she would accidentally break it.
"This is……"
"This is a relic left by a close friend of mine." Gongsun Subaru's eyes showed nostalgia.
Fu Qingyu was startled, as if she had guessed something, she turned the jade jade back to the lotus side, filled her palm with spiritual power, and lightly touched the surface of the lotus.
The next moment, the word "Autumn Lotus" appeared on the two lotus petals.
Autumn lotus.
Fu Qiulian!
That is the name of the only aunt in the Fu family who entered the Middle Spiritual Realm and has not been heard from since!
Calculating the time, it was more than five hundred years ago that my great-aunt entered the Middle Spiritual Realm. According to my grandfather, not long after my great-aunt entered the Zhongling Realm, the jade tablet she left at home fell into pieces.
Now, after more than five hundred years, an old man from outside Dongzhou came to the Fu family and told her that his long-lost great-aunt was his best friend?
The surprise and confusion in Fu Qingyu's eyes were too obvious.
Gongsun Subaru smiled bitterly, "I came too late. It's normal for me to not believe it."
"Senior Gongsun, please explain it more clearly..."
"You know how to use this jade, and you have such alchemy skills. Even if you are not Qiulian's junior, you are still someone with an extraordinary relationship with the Fu family." Gongsun Subaru's eyes softened when he looked at Fu Qingyu. Some, "Qiulian and I met five hundred and thirty-seven years ago, when she had just arrived in the Middle Spirit Realm."
Gongsun Subaru slowly told about his past with Fu Qiulian.
It seemed that he had been holding back many words in his heart for a long time, but today he was finally able to say them to others. He even couldn't help but blush a little when he talked about the emotional parts.
Fu Qingyu stood aside and listened quietly.
It turns out that Senior Gongsun and his great aunt and grandma are not acquainted with each other. One is from Dongzhou and the other is from Xizhou. They are both good at alchemy. Both of them had just arrived in the Central Spiritual Realm at that time. They were still "young and energetic" compared to now. They were both unconvinced by each other and wanted to compete with each other. A superior one.
After constant discussions and discussions on alchemy, an extraordinary friendship gradually emerged. However, before the two of them could break through the window paper, they unexpectedly fell into an ancient secret realm.
The body of my great aunt fell on a stone that suppressed the secret realm. When Senior Gongsun found her, her body had already lost its vitality and her spirit was so shattered that no trace could be found.
Senior Gongsun was unwilling to just watch his friend die. They had only met and known each other for less than three years. He originally thought that there would be long years to spend together in the future...
In this way, he took the body with him and kept it with the thousand-year-old ice that originally preserved the best spiritual plants. While looking for a way out, he also looked for the reason why his aunt had fallen into this state and the chance to regain a new life.
After going around in circles for a hundred years, he finally found his way out not long ago.
He also got a glimpse of the reasons and opportunities.
"The place where Qiu Lian fell was the eye of a large formation in the secret realm. The formation is called illusion and cannot be broken by external forces. The only way to break it is to see through the illusion and change one's fate in person. Eye, if it is a destined person, the formation eye can be opened." It sounds like a fantasy, but during the hundred years in the secret realm, the hope in Gongsun Subaru's heart has gradually turned into despair.
He couldn't open that formation.
Thousands of years of ice cannot preserve a corpse's immortality for a hundred years.
Qiulian's body has long been necrotic, her soul has been disintegrated for a hundred years, and she has no power to turn around anymore.
He could only take Qiulian's body back to Dongzhou and let her return to her roots.
After leaving the secret realm, the first thing he did was to get a pass token and take the teleportation array from the Central Spiritual Realm to Dongzhou.
"It was only after I came out of the secret realm that I learned that the flow of time in the ancient secret realm was different from that in the outside world. One hundred years inside had actually passed five hundred years outside." Gongsun Subaru lamented.
All the teachers and friends from back then have been unable to withstand the passage of time. Some have expired, and some have fallen under the calamity thunder that broke through the realm.
He is still alive in the world, but his teachers, old friends, and best friends are all gone.
Coming to Dongzhou, burying Qiulian, and taking care of the family that Qiulian cared about became his only goal in the short term. However, when he found the Fu family's land, he found that it had become a wasteland.
"Qiu Lian once told me that her alchemy skills were all inherited from her family. The family gave birth to her, raised her, cultivated her to refine the virtual world, and then went to practice in the Middle Spiritual Realm. What she can't let go of the most is her family and her tribe. , if she knew about the current situation of the Fu family, she might not be able to rest in peace."
When Gongsun Subaru said this, he sighed, with deep guilt in his eyes, "If I hadn't discovered a thousand-year-old Hanyou grass growing under the cliff and invited her to pick it together, I wouldn't have caused her to fall into the trap with me. Secret realm.”
"If she were still in this world, based on her talent, she would have definitely broken through to the realm of transcending tribulations. With her protection, the Fu family might not be in this situation. I owe her what I owe, and I also owe the Fu family."
Gongsun Subaru looked at Fu Qingyu, his eyes full of sincerity and a hint of prayer, "Little friend, I really want to do something for Qiulian and the Fu family."
