Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 227 People in Memory
It was a small house, and it was snowing and windy outside.

The old man in the house was speaking earnestly to Longxushui, while Gu Jingnian was trying to look at the furnishings in the house. Or rather, Zhao Boheng was leading Gu Jingnian to find clues that could lead to the location of the cottage.

However, this is Long Xushui's memory, and Long Xushui's gaze is mostly on the old man's face.

"Come on, I'll take you to see that person."

Finally, the old man is about to bring the dragon's beard water into the world.

The scene in front of him became blurry, and he vaguely saw the old man putting his hand on Longxushui's shoulder.

The cottage swayed and rolled into the heavy snow, followed by countless sceneries. I didn't know if my memory was wrong or if the process of Longxu Water entering the world was just a fleeting glimpse.

Gu Jingnian felt the strong desire coming from Zhao Boheng and had to see clearly how they were going.

But the harder he tried to see clearly, the more his head ached.

He endured the severe pain and saw a mountain gate standing on the top of a very high mountain. The gate was composed of four huge stones carved with various exotic beasts.

"Look at what's engraved on it." Zhao Boheng kept urging.

Gu Jingnian then tried to see the carvings clearly in Longxushui's memory.

Just then, an old face appeared in front of him.

It seemed as if the old man turned and looked at Longxushui, wanting to say a few more words before entering the mountain gate.

"young people."

The old man spoke, his eyes were full of admonition, and he slowly asked: "What are you peeking at?"

Gu Jingnian was a little confused and felt that the other party's words were directed at him.

But this is clearly Longxushui's memory, which happened hundreds of years ago. So, how could the person in the memory talk to the person in reality?

"Don't doubt it." The old man suddenly smiled and said, "I am asking you, why are you peeping into my disciple's memory?"

Hearing this, Gu Jingnian could feel Zhao Boheng's surprise more clearly.

He didn't know whether he or Zhao Boheng could have a conversation with the old man. Before they could open their mouths, the old man suddenly shouted.

"go with!"

The already severe pain intensified several times in an instant, and Gu Jingnian's head felt like it was about to explode.

He could even hear Zhao Boheng screaming in pain.

"Oh!"

The sound came from the stone chamber opposite. Longxushui's body suddenly shattered and turned into powder.

Gu Jingnian was also pushed to the ground by a force and felt a severe shock in his heart.

"What's wrong with you?" Hu Jingnan stepped forward to support him and asked, "What happened?"

After a long time, Gu Jingnian came to his senses and sat up. He could no longer feel Zhao Boheng's spirit.

"Why did the dragon beard water break?" Hu Jingnan asked, "What did you do?"

"It's not us, it's... it's his memory?" Gu Jingnian pondered, his tone uncertain.

"what?"

"His memory is destroying the body." Gu Jingnian finally came to this outrageous conclusion.

Hu Jingnan didn't understand and asked, "Where's Zhao Boheng?"

Gu Jingnian shook his head and looked at his shoulder. The small flag was still stuck there. Hu Jingnan followed his gaze, picked up the small flag, pulled it up, and put it back in place.

"Do you feel it?"

"No." Gu Jingnian said, "It seems that Zhao Boheng will not come again. Is there any reason for him to save you?"

Hu Jingnan shook his head and asked, "Where is Jie? What's going on?"

"The mission of Jie is to protect Zhongzhou and Yihai from interfering with each other. If you didn't lie to me, you should agree with Jie."

Hu Jingnan wanted to know much more than that.

However, even though she asked indirectly, there was not much that Gu Jingnian could reveal.

All that can be said is a small wooden house in the wind and snow, a stone gate standing on the top of the mountain, an old man who could shout them away in memory, and the Seven Star Formation that the old man talked about.

Listening to this, Hu Jingnan fell into deep thought.

Gu Jingnian walked to the entrance of the small cave and looked over there. The night pearl was still glowing, and shoulders had grown under Yin Kuo's head.

But there was no other crack on the other side of the cave. Even if Yin Kuo grew a full body, he would be trapped inside. Gu Jingnian ignored him.

"Can you get that bead?"

"can."

Hu Jingnan then walked over and used the strings of the zither to hook out the night-shining pearl hanging on Meng Shaoweng's neck. The night-shining pearl illuminated the headless body of Yin Kuo on the ground, which had grown a neck again.

Gu Jingnian picked up the dagger and cut the body in half. He couldn't remember how many Yin Kuo he had killed.

A porcelain bottle fell out of Yin Kuo's arms. Hu Jingnan bent over to pick it up, opened it and smelled it, feeling a little surprised. He poured a drop of the liquid inside into his mouth.

Miraculously, the wound on her foot healed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When Gu Jingnian took the night pearl and shone it on Hu Jingnan's face, he found that she looked much younger and more beautiful.

"Let's go."

Gu Jingnian held the night-shining pearl and walked in another direction.

Seeing this, Yin Kuo tried to turn his head and said, "Don't leave. I can cooperate with you... Don't leave!"

The light of the night pearl had gradually faded away with the sound of footsteps, and the stone cave had become completely dark. Yin Kuo's calls were echoing, but there was no response.

Only Meng Shao Weng was left to accompany him.

Over there, Gu Jingnian stopped because he saw a figure moving behind a crevice.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing the light of the night pearl, the man stuck in the crack of the stone asked, "Your Majesty, is that you?"

"It's me." Gu Jingnian answered frankly.

Hearing this, the man was startled and wanted to shrink back, but he was stuck there, unable to move forward or backward.

Gu Jingnian walked forward, and the night pearl illuminated half of his frightened fat face.

"who are you?"

"Pan Chengqiu, I am the famous Marquis Chengye of Dayong, why are you here?"

Pan Chengqiu saw Gu Jingnian for the first time, and immediately stopped boasting about his fame. He asked haltingly, "Where is the emperor? Is there a road over there?"

Because Gu Jingnian had traveled with their team before, he still believed that Gu Jingnian was a fellow traveler with them.

"Yes." Gu Jingnian said, "They went over there to look for a way. They said you couldn't get through, so they asked us to take you back the way you came."

"Really?"

This was of course false. Gu Jingnian had only said it casually, but seeing that Pan Chengqiu believed it easily, he simply nodded and said, "Get out of the way."

"Miss Hu, you are here too?" Pan Chengqiu said, "I'm stuck, can you give me a push?"

He was indeed stuck very tightly, with his ribs stuck in the gap and his fat being squeezed on both sides, changing into various shapes.

Gu Jingnian finally pushed him over.

The three of them passed through the crevice in the rock and probed in the direction where Pan Chengqiu came from, and found a rather large space.

"Have you explored that direction?"

"No." Pan Chengqiu said, "After the ground collapsed, we woke up not long ago and saw a crack in the rock. The emperor crawled through it."

Gu Jingnian asked: "How did you get here?"

"Alas, it rained fire that day, and we almost ran away. Many people died to protect the emperor. We had to go to a mountain villa to recuperate. Later, when Qu Gong was doing something, the emperor insisted on following him, so I had to protect him."

"What villa?" Gu Jingnian asked, "Are there any Swiss people there?"

"how do you know?"

"It seems that Shen Jichi's true body is in that villa?"

Pan Chengqiu was surprised and whispered, "This is a secret."

Gu Jingnian knew that Shen Jichi was in Lianxi Mountain, so he asked again: "Did you see a little girl who was less than one year old in that mountain villa?"

"Not long ago, they brought a group of people here. There were two very beautiful women, and they were indeed holding a baby girl."

Pan Chengqiu said this, regretting it, and covered his mouth with his hand, saying, "I don't know if I can say this."

"It's okay, we're one family." Gu Jingnian asked, "Where is that villa?"

"I can find it, but only if we get out of here."

"You can get out."

If Gu Jingnian was worried about being trapped to death at the beginning of the collapse, he was no longer worried at this moment.

Because he sensed that Ying Yao was not far away.

Sure enough, shortly after he sensed it, there was a sound of fine sand and gravel falling from above, followed by the sound of rocks crashing down.

But to Gu Jingnian's surprise, two people fell down and were fighting for life and death, and one of them was roaring angrily.

"go to hell!"
