Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 218 Return without Success (Part )

There was a faint fruity scent wafting through the hall. Yan sniffed, stood up, and barked at Shou Gu to express his dissatisfaction.

It can clearly speak human language and could have just said "Why don't you give the fruit to me", but it chose to act like a dog, which shows that it usually likes to pretend to be well-behaved in front of its owner.

In this way, Gu Jingnian felt relieved. This could explain why Yan and the old man had completely different attitudes towards Yingyao. One swallowed Yingyao and refined her, while the other gave her a generous gift. It turned out that this guy was pretending to obey but actually disobeying the old man's orders.

Shou Gu kicked Yan in anger and said, "Shut up, I haven't settled the score with you yet."

Yan barked a few more times and looked at Ying Yao with some contempt in his red eyes.

Seeing this, the old man said, "Then let's see the effect."

Ying Yao asked doubtfully: "What did the old senior say?"

"You were almost swallowed by this beast before. Try fighting it again now."

"Me?" Ying Yao waved her hands repeatedly, "I can't beat Mr. Yan."

"That may not be the case... Come with me."

As he spoke, the old man stood up, picked up the walking stick in his hand and drew a big circle on the ground.

What was very magical was that there was a scene of a desert in the big circle, and he actually projected the desert over there.

"Just fight in this circle, don't hurt the flowers and plants here. Remember, stop when necessary and don't hurt each other."

"Yes."

Yingyao was not competitive, but she was very obedient. Since the old man said so and Gu Jingnian had no objection, she walked into the circle honestly and looked around curiously.

Yan originally disdained to fight with this defeated opponent, but seeing Ying Yao had already walked past, he didn't want to show weakness either, so he pretended to be nonchalant and walked over.

"Please give me your advice."

As the crisp sound of Ying shaking was heard, Yan's body began to swell and become bigger and bigger.

Only Yan's white hair could be seen within the circle. Soon, a raging fire broke out and nothing could be seen except the flames.

Gu Jingnian was a little worried about Ying Yao, so he walked forward and stretched out his hand to feel the fire in the circle.

"For the sake of fairness, don't take any action." The old man said calmly, closing his eyes and waiting for the result calmly.

Gu Jingnian then stopped and looked in all directions, all he could see was the wild desert within the circle covered in flames.

Shou Gu also watched it very seriously.

Liu Yuchuan looked over and saw that inside the hall, the old man was resting with his eyes closed, while the other two were watching the battle intently in silence.

But he had no interest in this battle, and crossed his arms, looking a little bored.

Fortunately, the fight didn't last long.

The white dog suddenly rushed back from the fire. Although its long fur was not burned, its steps were a little staggering and it looked a little embarrassed.

“Damn it, I asked you to help refine Father Park, and you… Woof woof.”

Yan had only finished scolding when he saw a little girl with a fierce look on her face, and immediately began to whimper softly.

At the same time, a distant but loud phoenix cry was heard, shocking the heart.

When Ying Yao jumped back into the hall, there was still a trace of fire on her back, which made her look very imposing. But soon, she suppressed her murderous aura, smiled at Gu Jingnian, and then said to the old man: "Thank you, old senior. I am really much stronger now. Much, much stronger."

Yan looked at Ying Yao resentfully, turned his head away, and lay down again.

It had long felt strange as to why it had refined Park's father but did not feel a huge increase in strength. It originally thought it was because its injuries were too severe. Only now did it realize that most of the power that Ying Yao had absorbed over the past six months was still in her.

Unfortunately, he didn't have time to refine her, and she escaped.

In addition, the fruit given by the old master helped Yingyao to steadily improve her strength. Now she is terribly strong, but how strong exactly is, Yan has not tested her full strength just now.

What made it even angrier was that when it looked at Ying Yao, she was still acting innocent, and it couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"Evil bird."

The old man took in the whole scene, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "With your strength, you can barely protect yourself in Zhongzhou. If you encounter danger, just come to me."

After saying that, he took out a wooden sign and asked Shou Gu to give it to Ying Yao.

Gu Jingnian looked down and his eyes focused slightly. He saw that it was a sign made of tree bark. It looked familiar and somewhat similar to the sign that the tree master from Chongjing Academy had given him.

Shou Gu pulled Yingyao, asked her to squat down, and whispered something in her ear.

Afterwards, the old man waved his hand and said, "You can go now."

He didn't even leave a meal.

"Thank you for your hospitality, senior." Gu Jingnian and Ying Yao thanked him and said goodbye.

Liu Yuchuan did not get what he wanted, but he did not pretend to be polite. He bowed and turned around to leave.

The way the three of them came was out of the palace gate. For a moment, the light changed slightly, and they must have re-entered the projection.

Walking up the stone steps and landing on the lakeside, I felt a sense of security.

Looking back, I saw the palace gradually faded and finally disappeared, leaving only the beautiful blue lake.

"Actually, the palace is not here." Liu Yuchuan looked up at the sky and said with emotion: "They may be very far away from here, or very close, and they are just shadows that have reached here."

After that, he looked at Gu Jingnian and Ying Yao and said, "I guess you don't want to be my servants anymore."

Gu Jingnian said, "I will repay your kindness if I have the chance." Ying Yao stood in front of Gu Jingnian and said, "I'm not afraid of you."

"what."

Liu Yuchuan sneered, waved his hand casually, turned around and walked back to the lake, taking off his clothes as he walked.

"I'm going to take a shower, you guys can do whatever you want."

Soon, the waves swept him away.

His huge owl let out a long cry and flew over the lake.

Gu Jingnian looked back with some confusion in his eyes.

"Young Master, what's wrong?" Ying Yao asked, without turning her head to avoid seeing Liu Yuchuan bathing in the lake.

"I have a feeling I have seen him somewhere, but I can't remember where."

This time, Gu Jingnian looked carefully and indeed did not see any scars on Liu Yuchuan's skin, which is a characteristic of a healing person.

But Chu Danqing said that they were the only two healers in the world.

So he asked, "Do you think he looks like Chu Danqing?"

"No." Ying Yao said, "He is definitely not Chu Danqing. He is much more powerful than Chu Danqing."

"Yeah, let's go."

"Sir, shall we fly?"

"Is there a fire?"

"call--"

A raging fire suddenly rose up, enveloping Gu Jingnian and Ying Yao, and soared into the sky.

Looking down, the lake became smaller and smaller, and turned into a blue tear.

Gu Jingnian felt a little confused. Liu Yuchuan made such a big fuss, but in the end why did he easily give up joining the world?

For him, what happened in Lian Xishan still has many unsolved mysteries.

--------

In the palace where the grass and trees were swaying, a little girl was lying on her stomach beside a well, sticking her head to look into the well.

After a long time, she ran back to the main hall and said to the old man who was thinking: "Grandfather, they are really gone."

"Liu Yuchuan is gone too?"

"Yeah." The little girl nodded.

The old man became puzzled, stroked his beard and said thoughtfully: "This man is really strange."

"Hasn't Mr. Wo ever seen such a person?"

Suddenly a voice sounded in the hall, but the person who spoke did not appear.

The old man said, "I have been in Zhongzhou for thousands of years, and I have never seen someone so young with such strong strength. What's even more strange is that I can easily see through the details of those two little guys, but I can't see through him."

"We should have heard of such a person."

"Yeah, unless he has another identity."

"But he doesn't know that joining the world does not require measuring strength."

"No, he knows." The old man said, "He should know that Shougu and I are not very powerful, and Yan is not its opponent. But he clearly had a chance just now, but he didn't attack us."

"So, he didn't come here to refine you?"

"Maybe." The old man said, "It's also possible that he is too scheming and knows that you will protect us at any time."

"Longxushui is dead, and Jie still needs one more person to complete the Seven Star Formation. We may not be able to consider him."

The old man stroked his long beard and said thoughtfully: "I can introduce someone to you."

"Oh?"

"Shou Gu, can you guess what grandpa is thinking?"

Shou Gu said, "Of course I know."

"write down."

"what?"

"It's been more than a thousand years, and you still can't practice Zhongzhou calligraphy well?"

Shou Gu curled her lips helplessly, picked up a branch and scratched the ground a few times. After a while, she said, "It's done."

The old man looked and saw that the red juice flowing from the branches had drawn a pattern on the ground.

"This is?"

"Phoenix." The little girl said as a matter of course.

The old man looked at it for a long time before he realized that the painting was of a bird. He sighed and said, "Yes, the one I want to introduce to you is Ying Yao."
