The surviving scouts passed the news back to Ningguan City. Xue Ding was shocked and immediately reported to the court. Emperor Taichu was very interested when he heard the news that there was a dragon in the mountain. He actually wanted to immediately go to Moyun Mountain to look for the dragon in person, but was stopped by civil and military officials. All the officials tried to dissuade him. It was still unknown how powerful the dragon beasts in Mo Yun Mountain were. How could they allow His Majesty the Emperor to put himself in danger, especially since Mo Yun Mountain was still on the border.
Li Boqian was timid after being persuaded by the ministers, and he did not dare to take risks. However, the ministers violated the wishes of the emperor, which made him extremely angry. Then he found a random excuse to teach the two leading ministers a lesson. After a while, all the ministers knew what was going on, but they were helpless to His Majesty the Emperor.
Since His Majesty the Emperor no longer insists on searching for the dragon himself, he has handed over the matter of searching for the dragon to the Galaxy Sect.
On the top floor of the Yuheng Hall of the Xinghe Sect, an old man with white hair and white hair and a wrinkled face is sitting cross-legged and meditating. There is no internal energy fluctuation around his body. He is no different from other ordinary old people. There is a man standing respectfully in front of the old man's bed. This man With a kind and yet majestic face, he is none other than Chen Yaoguang, the headmaster of Xinghe Sect.
Chen Yaoguang stood there and waited for a long time without noticing that he was agitated. He always looked at the old man with a smile until the old man slowly opened his eyes.
"Feng'er, you're here." The old man glanced at Chen Yaoguang and said, before getting up.
"Yes, Master." Chen Yaoguang hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"Have you encountered any difficulties again? Why don't you come to see me if you have nothing to do?" The old man shook his head gently.
Chen Yaoguang touched his head and said with embarrassment: "Disciple, aren't you busy? Master, it's not like you have never been a master. Disciple, you are incapable of doing anything else." At this time, Chen Yaoguang still had the majesty of a master. He seemed to have turned into a master again in front of his master. I remember the child who practiced with Master decades ago.
The old man walked to the table and wanted to pick up the teapot. Chen Yaoguang hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the teapot, poured half a cup of tea into the teacup and handed it to the old man. The old man was not polite, and he drank from the teacup in small sips.
"Tell me why you came to see me today." The old man gently put down his tea cup and said.
"It's nothing serious. I just want to ask Master about something." Chen Yaoguang gently scratched his ear with his right hand and smiled awkwardly.
"If you fart, hurry up, you don't look like a master!" The old man said with dissatisfied eyes, and Chen Yaoguang immediately panicked.
"Master, don't be angry. I'm just going to tell you, isn't this the news that a dragon has appeared in the world from Moyun Mountain? I just want to ask the master, does the real dragon really still exist?" Chen Yaoguang said hurriedly and got straight to the point.
"Feng'er, let me ask you, are there immortals in the world?" The old man slowly walked to the window, stood with his hands behind his hands, and looked up at the sky.
"Probably not. The legendary ancient Yue saint who lived for six hundred years said before his death that he had been searching for immortality for hundreds of years. In the end, it was just an illusion. There are no immortals and no reincarnation in this world. People have to live in the present." Chen Yaoguang said with a solemn expression.
"This passage has been widely circulated among practitioners. From then on, most people in the world do not believe that there are immortals in the world. Does this have anything to do with the dragons and beasts in Moyun Mountain?" Chen Yaoguang asked doubtfully.
"Feng'er, this Gu Yue is not just as simple as living a long time. He was invincible in the world during the time he was alive. He suppressed the entire world for hundreds of years. He is known as the person closest to the immortal way."
"That's why everyone in the world believes it when he says there are no immortals in the world. But let me tell you, there are not completely no traces of immortals in this world. My master once deduced that some kind of change happened in the world, which caused no traces of immortals in the world. Without the immortals, the world will no longer be able to become immortals." The old man talked about the most mysterious topic in the world in a calm tone, and his whole temperament was somewhat fairy-like.
"Master, what you mean is that since there are no immortals in the world, mythical creatures such as dragons that are closely related to immortals will naturally not exist in the world?" Chen Yaoguang said suddenly.
"Of course that beast on Moyun Mountain cannot be a real dragon, but my teacher also said that there are immortal traces in the world, and it is natural that creatures like dragons may have bloodline in the world."
"I once visited Moyun Mountain when I was young. The Moyun Mountain at that time made me feel that there was a great danger in the mountain. If I entered it, I would have a narrow escape. You must know that I have entered the Grandmaster realm early, but I didn't dare to Step into the mountains and leave in a hurry.”
"Later, after I became a teacher and became a saint, I never left Zidou Mountain, and I never went to Mo Yun Mountain to check again. From this, it seems that the big evil in Mo Yun Mountain is this dragon beast. Tell me the details. Master, listen.”
Chen Yaoguang told the old man the news from Ningguan City in detail. The old man remained silent after listening, as if he was thinking about something.
The old man shook his head slightly, frowned and said: "If it was this dragon beast that I sensed back then, then there is probably a big problem with this dragon. How can it be possible that something dangerous can be sensed by the master level? It’s really suspicious that Orions and scouts can escape even when attacked.”
"Master, are you saying that there is something wrong with this dragon and its strength is greatly reduced?" Chen Yaoguang said with eyes shining.
"It stands to reason that this should be the case. Judging from the current situation, we can first send that little guy Huang Xin into the mountains to explore the truth. This kid's life-saving methods are much better than those of his teacher back then." The old man nodded lightly. He said, with a smile on Huang Xin's face. "If we can really capture this dragon beast, it will be a big gain regardless of life or death."
"Disciple, I will make arrangements now. Disciple, please leave." Chen Yaoguang said, bowed to the old man, turned around and left.
"Be careful, you're over fifty and you're still irritable." The old man looked at his disciple angrily, but his eyes were filled with doting.
There is no airtight wall in the world, not to mention that all forces will have many secrets and spies buried in other forces. The news of the dragon in Moyun Mountain soon spread in the Central Plains, and all major forces sent experts one after another. Going to Moyun Mountain, there are also some self-proclaimed heroes who gather in the direction of Moyun Mountain on their own or in groups, wanting to see if they can get some benefits from it.
Gu Xifeng was one of the first people to arrive at Moyun Mountain. However, he hid in the dark without being exposed. Xiao Yingye was left by Gu Xifeng in the inn where he stayed. After preparing enough spirit animal food and water for the little guy, he also gave it instructions for a long time. After listening to Gu Xifeng's nagging, the little guy actually nodded obediently. Gu Xifeng was surprised that he could understand human nature at such a young age. , which also made him feel relieved a lot.
Gu Xifeng hid while cursing: "Huang Xin is really good. The master obviously asked him to investigate, but he sent me here. That's a dragon. I even doubted that he asked me to be cannon fodder." of."
Huang Xin's mission to Gu Xifeng clearly mentioned that the headmaster asked him to explore Mo Yun Mountain himself. Huang Xin claimed that he had something important to do and asked Gu Xifeng to come to the front station first, and he would arrive soon after. He also said that it was a big day. Part of the credit will be given to Gu Xifeng.
The more Gu Xifeng thought about it, the more he felt that Huang Xin was trying to trick him again, but there was nothing he could do. He stared at the group of people who almost arrived at Moyun Mountain with him with black lines on his face. This group of people was very interested in Gu Xifeng who was hiding in the dark. Not aware.
There are more than thirty people in this group. Judging from their clothes, most of them are from the Northern Chu army. There are two exceptions. The leader is a young man wearing brocade clothes and a sword at his waist. He is very handsome. , his appearance made Gu Xifeng feel quite familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
Behind the young man is always a middle-aged man wearing black cloth. The man has a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and always has a straight face. He is of medium build and not strong. For some reason, he always gives people a feeling of strength. He seems to be the young man's personal attendant.
The young man was probably in his twenties. He often wore a warm smile and seemed very easy to get along with. However, from the way his subordinates obeyed him and occasionally showed a trace of fear, it could be seen that this guy was not simple.
Following the young man's order, everyone walked towards the dense forest of Moyun Mountain. Gu Xifeng fell far behind their team. The middle-aged man who looked like a follower made Gu Xifeng aware of the dangerous aura. This made Gu Xifeng unable to help but Dare to approach easily.
At this time, the dense forest was not as quiet as before. There were already some traces of animal activity, which made the young man frown slightly. This was somewhat different from what the intelligence said.
The team marched very smoothly, and soon came to the area mentioned in the intelligence that was full of corpses of giant beasts. The putrid smell here was so strong that these elite soldiers from the Northern Chu Army couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses. There were some wild animals gnawing next to the rotting corpses. When they saw someone breaking in, they hurriedly fled deep into the dense forest.
The team did not stop here, but continued walking deeper into the dense forest.
This group of people came to the foot of Tianjian Peak. There was no movement in the calm lake. The young man ordered a soldier to jump into the lake to check. The soldier took off his armor without hesitation and jumped into the lake.
After a while, the soldier emerged, floating on the water and said, "Sir, I haven't found anything in the lake. There isn't even a fish in it."
At the young man's signal, the soldier returned to the shore. Regardless of the wet clothes on his body, he put the armor back on his body. The young man's expression became more solemn.
"What's going on? Is the information wrong?" The young man turned and looked at the middle-aged man.
The man raised his head and looked at Tianjian Peak above his head and said, "Sir, I think the information is correct. That beast is probably up there!" The man's voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
The young man pondered for a moment and said, "Don't act rashly yet. I think someone will explore the way for us."
The middle-aged man nodded and said no more.
The young man gave an order, and a group of people entered the dense forest again and returned to the outside of Moyun Mountain along the original path.
Gu Xifeng saw all this and still followed them from a distance without making any other move.
The first team that entered the mountain to look for the dragon returned without success.
Little did they know that on Tianjian Peak, a pair of huge scarlet eyes had been staring quietly down, their eyes full of anger and sadness.
