Gu Erniang deserted her family and searched here for decades, and finally got the news about Gu Qingyuan. Chu Liang felt that way that it was unimaginable.
He handed the letter to the other party, got a name he wanted, and left quietly.
Chu Liang also made an appointment with Gu Erniang. If something happened here, he would take her into the mountains to look for Gu Qingyuan. Chu Liang could only remember a rough idea of the location of the Abyss of Dreams, but it shouldn't be a problem to look carefully.
After returning to the inn, he said to Yan Qihu: "I found out that there is a survivor named Xue Ziyang who entered the secret realm with them. We have to find him quickly. If it happens again at night, maybe This person will encounter something unexpected again.”
Hearing this, Yan Qihu didn't waste any time and took people directly to Xue Ziyang's residence provided by Gu Erniang.
This person is quite famous in the backing city and can be regarded as a great scholar. He ran a free private school, specializing in teaching children from poor families in the city, and was called "Purple Yang Gong" by the people around him.
Xue Ziyang usually doesn't do the business of escorting people into the mountains, so I don't know why he got involved this time.
When everyone rushed to his private school, they found that the door was locked and no one was around.
It happened that neighbors were passing by, so Chu Liang stepped forward to inquire: "Brother, do you know where this Mr. Xue has gone?"
"Oh, you mean Ziyang Gong?" The neighbor was quite enthusiastic and immediately replied with a smile on his face: "I don't know."
You don't know why you are so happy...
"But my children go to school here. I heard from him..." The neighbor added: "Ziyang Gong seems to have encountered some big problem. He rarely stops the children's schoolwork on weekdays, and it also shows that he leaves occasionally. Deadline. But this time, he said he didn’t know when he would come back..."
Chu Liang heard what he said and then asked: "Did he just leave these two days?"
"Yes, it happened yesterday." The neighbor replied: "He first asked for leave and left for a day, then came back and just attended class for a day, and then left indefinitely. Alas, Ziyang Gong is such a good person, but you must not What happened?"
"Thank you very much." Chu Liang thanked him.
Turning his head, he started discussing with the group of people from Tiangang Gate again.
"The first time he asked for leave was probably because he participated in that trip to the secret realm. The second time, it was most likely that he panicked after learning about the death of three people the day before." Chu Liang muttered, "At this time, he must have It’s about seeking some shelter.”
Ji Lingyu said: "I asked the people in the City Supervision Department before coming here. Xue Ziyang studied under Wei Lang, a great scholar from Jiangnan Junzi Hall."
"Then he most likely returned to Junzi Hall." Chu Liang guessed.
"Then go and look for it." Yan Qihu said immediately.
…
Jiangnan Yanyu Tower, where Junzi Hall is located, is not far from Nanyu. That's why Song Qingyi came to take care of things when something happened at the Southern Territory Academy.
The group of people went quickly and soon arrived at the Yanyu Tower.
Nowadays, the Junzi Hall is no longer the only ancient building. Instead, there are pavilions and pavilions in the middle of the mountain, and the Yanyu Tower has become a place of symbolic significance. Only when a new Confucian scholar is inscribed will he go up to the tower to receive the ceremony.
And the form of Junzitang is not like those large immortal sects, with many disciples. Among them, there are only a few great scholars who preside over this hall and their disciples who have lived there for a long time.
Although there are not many people there at ordinary times, if something happens, many great Confucians named in the Gentlemen's Hall and even fellow Confucians all over the world will lend a helping hand. That kind of momentum is by no means trivial.
With Yan Qihu's status in Tiangang Sect, immediately after the name was announced, there were disciples who respectfully led everyone in, and a moment later a great scholar came out to greet them.
But I saw this man with wide clothes, big sleeves and fluttering robes. Although he has a pale face and white hair, he has a broad body and a red face. He looks full of energy at first glance.
"Old Wei Lang, I heard that you are here to see my disciple?" the old man said, holding his hands in front of him.
"Mr. Wei." Yan Qihu was also quite polite to the old man and immediately explained his intention, "We want to find out where in the secret realm they went and what happened in it."
"Alas..." Wei Lang sighed and said, "My disciple's situation is not that good after he returns, so I will take you to take a look."
With that said, he led a few people to a room in the backyard. When he pushed the door open, he saw a middle-aged scholar lying naked on the bed, looking haggard and weak. The whole body is covered with talismans, and there are more than ten steel needles stuck in his head.
"Yesterday he came back and said that he encountered some dangers and hoped that he could escape the danger in Junzitang." Wei Lang recounted: "At night, he started to be irritable and crazy, and there was demonic energy oozing out of his body. I had to take action to temporarily suppress him. , let him fall asleep."
"Mr. Wei, was there a blood moon over Junzitang last night?" Chu Liang suddenly asked.
"I've never seen that before." Wei Lang shook his head.
Chu Liang nodded lightly.
It seems that the range that the blood moon can affect is only around the mountain city, most likely because the source is in Zhennanyu Mountain. And if you stay away from there, the impact will be smaller...but also limited.
Xue Ziyang looked like this. If it weren't for the great scholar who took action, I'm afraid he would have suffered last night.
"If you want to save him now, you must find out what happened to them." Chu Liang said: "Can Senior Xue be awakened?"
Wei Lang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed: "Okay."
With a flick of his right hand, faint blue light seeped out from the talismans and steel needles. In the blink of an eye, the seal on Xue Ziyang was opened.
"ah--"
He screamed and his body suddenly jumped up!
…
Xue Ziyang panted for a long time before settling down, looking a little dazed. It wasn't until Wei Lang helped him calm down again that he gradually became normal.
Only then did Chu Liang and the others dare to ask questions.
"Senior Xue, with whom did you enter Zhennanyu Mountain that day, which secret realm did you enter, and what did you encounter?"
When Xue Ziyang heard the question, he sighed and said, "Oh, it's a long story..."
"Originally, I only preached and taught in the mountain city, and would not easily enter Zhennanyu Mountain. But Chun Yutu suddenly came to me a few days ago. He said that the precious medicine I needed to reach the peak of the sixth realm seemed to be It exists in a secret realm. And there is a woman from the Western Region who is very wealthy and wants to form a group to enter Zhennan Mountain and asked me if I want to go with her."
It turns out that it was all caused by Tiancai Dibao.
Chu Liang heard this and thought silently, having money may not bring happiness, but it can indeed avoid a lot of trouble.
"At that time, I saw that the people traveling with me were all well-known experts in the backing city. I thought it wouldn't be too difficult, so I agreed." Xue Ziyang continued: "The journey was quite smooth at first."
"At that time, we passed through a foggy valley. There were many ghosts and ghosts in the fog, but they did not pose any danger to us. Later, there were ghosts from the past who blocked the way..."
"Huh?" Chu Liang was suddenly slightly surprised when he heard this, "Senior, you went... to the Misty Valley and the Abyss of Dreams?"
"Not bad." Xue Ziyang said, "You know?"
"I've been there before..." Chu Liang wondered why he hadn't seen this before. "Behind the Abyss of Dreams is a secret realm full of spiritual energy. Is there a mountaintop palace in it?"
"No..." Xue Ziyang shook his head and said, "After passing the Abyss of Dreams, we arrived at a gloomy ghostland. It was a battlefield full of bones and dilapidated bodies."
Huh?
This description made Chu Liang a little strange.
Because he, Pu Shan, Luo Yao and others also crossed the Abyss of Dreams with the Demon Sect's team, and what they saw was completely different from what Xue Ziyang described.
That should be the secret realm where Gu Qingyuan was trapped. It should be green mountains, green waters, palaces and towers.
"As soon as we entered it, we noticed something was wrong, because there were voices all around calling for something, but we couldn't find the source of the voice... The further we moved forward, the clearer it became, and finally we heard the voice clearly. It’s calling that woman’s name!”
"Her name is Caiyi."
Good morning.
