Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 216 Master
During the few days of traveling on the back of the owl, Gu Jingnian's foot had healed.

In addition to his self-healing ability, it was also because Liu Yuchuan gave him a porcelain bottle containing a fruity liquid. After Gu Jingnian took a sip, his injuries healed much faster.

Liu Yuchuan also poured a sip for Yingyao, who woke up immediately, finally no longer in that drowsy state.

However, the two were unable to display their ability to control fire and could only be temporarily dispatched by Liu Yuchuan.

Fortunately, this strange middle-aged man did not seem to have any ill intentions, and at present he only asked them to serve as servants to support him.

"Don't embarrass me."

When the palace finally appeared on the lake, Liu Yuchuan whispered something and followed Yan up the stairs.

Gu Jingnian and Ying Yao followed.

As he stepped onto the jade steps, Gu Jingnian quickly realized that what he saw was shadow transmission, the same ability used by Shen Jichi, only more powerful, and it could actually move an entire palace onto the lake.

But he did enter the palace through the jade steps.

The red palace door slowly closed behind him. No one was seen pushing it, but the sound of the door closing seemed to shatter the shadow in the sky.

Gu Jingnian felt his vision shake.

Although the situation before his eyes had not changed, from this moment on, he had actually entered the palace.

To his surprise, the palace was not as magnificent and magnificent as he had imagined, with carved buildings and jade-like buildings, but was instead filled with flowers and trees.

There are flowers, plants and trees everywhere. The red walls are covered with vines, weeds grow in the cracks of the stone steps, and heavy red fruits hang from the dark green eaves.

It seems as if it wants to grow all the plants that have not grown in the entire western wilderness.

However, these plants are somewhat out of tune with the style outside the palace, as if a gardener who grows plants occupied this place and started planting them regardless of the consequences.

Ying Yao looked around curiously, suddenly pulled Gu Jingnian's sleeve and whispered something.

"Sir, this place seems familiar."

"Do not talk."

Liu Yuchuan turned around, pressed his lips with his finger, and reminded them not to embarrass him.

"Wang Wang Wang."

Yan ran quickly and rushed into a hall.

Back here, it becomes particularly like a dog.

When Gu Jingnian also stepped into the hall, he even saw it shaking its white tail. It was really hard to combine it with the image of the otherworldly master.

Looking at the master that Yan was trying to please, Gu Jingnian was surprised again.

It turned out to be a little girl who was only five or six years old, white and chubby, wearing a red dress, with a longevity lock around her neck, and two pigtails on her hair tied with a red ribbon.

"Wow woof, woof woof."

"How dare you quibble!" The little girl put her hands on her hips, raised her foot and kicked Yan, cursing: "If you refine Father Park, you won't be my dog anymore! Bah, you won't even be a dog anymore."

"Wang Wang Wang."

Yan explained with a feeling of grievance.

The little girl didn't care. She picked up a collar from the table, put it around its neck, and tied it aside.

But she also saw the wounds on Yan's body, so she took out a red fruit and threw it over.

"Eat and heal your wound."

Yan was overjoyed and swallowed the fruit in one bite.

Afterwards, it looked down upon the three people on Liu Yuchuan's side with disdain in its eyes, and was somewhat annoyed because the three people saw how servile it was.

The little girl taught her dog a lesson, then turned around, still with her hands on her hips, and asked, "You saved my dog, what do you want?"

"I am Liu Yuchuan, a free cultivator from Zhongzhou, and I want to join the world." Liu Yuchuan saluted again.

"Hahaha." The little girl seemed to have heard something particularly funny. After laughing, she asked, "Just you?"

"I'm strong."

"Young man, you are too conceited."

When Gu Jingnian heard this, he looked at the two people who were talking again to make sure he had not heard it wrong.

Yes, it was indeed a little girl of five or six years old who called a forty-year-old man "young man" in a contemptuous tone.

Liu Yuchuan smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, you can try my strength." At this time, Yan barked a few times, which should be telling the little girl that Liu Yuchuan is indeed very strong.

After hearing this, the little girl held her chin up in thought, looking at Liu Yuchuan with a changeable look in her eyes.

Finally, she said, "You helped Longxushui kill Pu's father and saved my dog. I will give you a pound of fruit. You can go now."

"I just want to join the world." Liu Yuchuan said.

The little girl said: "If you want to join the world, it takes more than just strength."

"I know. Please let Shougu introduce me to you."

"I don't even know you, why should I introduce you?" The little girl put her hands on her hips and said, "A pound of fruit, take it and get out!"

"Shougu."

Suddenly, an old voice sounded.

Then came the sound of the crutch hitting the ground, very slowly, but everyone waited patiently and no one was impatient.

After a while, a white-haired old man came out from behind the screen and sat down in the hall.

"A guest has arrived. I am sorry for not coming to greet him." The old man said, "Shou Nu, what happened? Tell me from the beginning."

"Grandfather, you may not know that you were asleep. Less than a year ago, Father Park came to Zhongzhou. This little dog heard that he could change his body shape by refining Father Park, so he ran away."

The little girl pointed at Yan unhappily.

Yan quickly lowered his head and whimpered pitifully.

"Later, Yan met Long Xushui and worked with him to deal with Park's father. Long Xushui was beaten to death by Park's father and Yan almost lost his life. At this time, he ran out to help."

The little girl pointed at Liu Yuchuan again.

"This man is quite capable. He cut off the Xi River and trapped Pu's father with the water of the Xi River. Yan then caused the underground fire to burn Pu's father and killed him. Later, Yan refined Pu's father, but was injured and could not completely absorb Pu's father's spirit. So he swallowed a phoenix, and was chased by the people of Zhongzhou. He was saved by this man again..."

She gave a general idea and the old man understood it. He looked at the three visitors and finally waved to Xiang Ying.

"You come."

Ying Yao was stunned for a moment, but without thinking anything, he stepped forward immediately.

The old man looked at her, nodded repeatedly, and said with emotion: "I haven't seen my fellow villagers for many years."

"Fellow villager?" Ying Yao was puzzled and asked, "Old man, where are you from?"

The old man smiled slightly, pointed at Yan, and said, "Do you know why this beast swallowed you and let you help him absorb the essence of Father Park?"

“Because we all control fire.”

"Wrong." The old man said, "Because we all came from fertile land."

Yingyao's eyes widened immediately and asked, "Then who are you..."

"We are the people of Woye." The old man smiled and pointed at the little girl, saying, "Don't be fooled by her appearance, because she has been like this since she left Woye. Looking back, it has been thousands of years since then."

"Thousands of years?" Ying Yao looked at the little girl, surprised, and asked, "Then you are already thousands of years old?"

Shougu rolled her eyes and muttered, "What a fuss."

The old man patted Ying Yao's shoulder and did not let her go back behind Liu Yuchuan.

He looked at Liu Yuchuan and said, "Young man, you have heard it too. I have been in Zhongzhou for thousands of years. I have seen your Great Sheng Dynasty split into many countries. I have seen many countries rise and fall. I am older than your ancestors for dozens of generations. You are too young and not qualified to be with us."

"I know I am not very knowledgeable," Liu Yuchuan said sincerely, "but I can endure hardships and loneliness, and I am willing to devote my life to the great cause of heaven and earth. I only ask the senior to give me a chance."

"Do you really want to enter the realm?"

"Yes."

"What's the reason?"

"Pursue the great path." Liu Yuchuan said in a firm tone.

The old man did not continue to ask, but looked at Gu Jingnian and said, "Little guy, you also have the aura of fertile land on you. Where does it come from?"

Gu Jingnian did not hide anything and told everyone the past. At the end, he also revealed his plan to go to Woye with Feng Niang and Ying Yao.

"You are a young man with wild ideas." The old man smiled faintly, pointed at himself, and shook his head, saying, "Even I can't go back to the fertile land, let alone you. Your ideas are even more unrealistic than his."

After that, he sighed and said, "I can't fulfill either of your wishes. So, you two make a choice. Do you want greater strength or a 100-year extension of your life?"
