One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 293 Chapter 293: Yunmeng Valley
Zhao Fuyun recalled the scene when Ge Wenyun said goodbye to him on the cliff. Chen Wenmei in front of him said excitedly: "We were ordered to come to the polar night to find some spiritual materials to refine treasures, but we were targeted by a group of people and were trapped in Yunmeng Valley."

Yu Huaian beside him couldn't help but think to himself: "She really didn't tell us the truth. She was not just trapped by those dream butterflies in Yunmeng Valley."

Of course, he soon understood why Chen Wenmei didn't say anything. It was simply because she was afraid of trouble if people knew about it and was unwilling to accept her reward to save people. Or maybe people didn't communicate with her in depth and didn't ask her carefully, so she didn't have the opportunity to say this.

However, none of this matters, because now that Master Zhao has asked, it's up to her to answer.

"You have the Tianfu Secret Realm in Mount Li, so why do you need to come outside to look for things? Even if you don't find it, you can exchange it with things in Tianfu, right?" Zhao Fuyun asked again.

"The treasure we want to refine is to be used in Tianfu, and Tianfu hasn't been opened for a long time." Chen Wenmei said. She actually didn't know what had happened in Tianfu, because when she entered Mount Li, Lishan Tianfu had already been closed due to an accident.

She had only heard about it and wasn't very clear about what had happened.

"It seems that the matter in Tianfu has not been resolved yet." Zhao Fuyun said. She was a little surprised that Zhao Fuyun in front of her actually knew that something happened in Tianfu, and might even know it better than she did. She couldn't help but wonder what the relationship between the cultivator in front of her and Mount Li was.

"Has your senior sister entered the Purple Mansion?" Zhao Fuyun asked again.

Chen Wenmei shook her head and said, "I heard that Senior Sister was hurt by love, which led to her laziness and heart failure. For so many years, she has been unable to advance to the Purple Mansion. This time, Senior Sister took the initiative to come out. She swore in the ancestral hall that she must complete the task. She wanted to use this to arouse her spirit in her heart so that she could combine the Gang and open the mansion."

Zhao Fuyun frowned slightly. Although he would occasionally think of Mount Li and the female cultivator over the years, he only regarded her as a beautiful scenery in his heart and never thought about anything happening between them. Back then, she had accompanied him for a long way and he certainly felt her love.

However, he was devoted to the Tao and felt that love between men and women was nothing more than a red rope that bound him, the most troublesome net in the world of mortals, something that prevented people from transcending. What he feared most was that when he was old, he would see his friends or acquaintances from his youth still young, others flying in the sky, while he could only stand on the ground and look up. What would it matter even if he had children around him and four generations living under the same roof?
Those who live long and have good health do not need to reproduce.

Seeing the slight change in Zhao Fuyun's expression, Chen Wenmei had a strange look on her face, and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that he was the one who made Senior Sister Wenyun lazy and depressed?

"Who trapped your senior sister there?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

"I don't know, maybe they are a group of cultivators who specialize in setting traps in Yunmeng Valley for hunting." Chen Wenmei said thoughtfully.

Zhao Fuyun put away the things on the table in different categories. Chen Wenmei looked at the miscellaneous things and couldn't help but be secretly shocked, because she could see that those different treasure bags definitely came from different people, and now they were all here, which meant that they were taken away by the cultivator in front of her.

"This is a murderer."

Of course, anyone who can create a barrier here and drive away the darkness must be a strong man.

"Your sister and I have a deep connection. Since I know she is trapped nearby, how can I stand by and watch her die? Let's go, Yu Huaian, stay here and guard the cave for me."

After he finished speaking, a ball of light surged out of his body, which wrapped up Chen Wenmei, and then went out of the cave like a tangible light wind. Yu Huaian even saw Chen Wenmei being pulled into the sky, and then the ball of light circled in the sky and went west. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the dark clouds.

Yu Huaian was looking at the murals in the cave excitedly. When he entered and exited here, he often wanted to stop and take a closer look, but he didn't dare. Now that he had the opportunity, he was unwilling to miss it no matter what. For him, the things in this cave were what were truly suitable for his practice.

He looked at those strange three-legged birds, his mind was shaken, and he felt that the talismans in his dantian were shaking.

He was reading a mythical story about the origin of the sun, which he had never heard of before, and the legend of the Golden Crow burning the world.

On another wall, there was a painting of a towering tree with nine golden crows perched on it.

He only felt a wild and ancient breath spreading in the cave, as if he was in a world where the golden crow was burning the world. Looking up, he felt that the cave wall was infinitely high and far away. Only a golden crow was soaring in the sky. He was below it and just wanted to worship it.
-
Zhao Fuyun had never been to Yunmeng Valley, and it could be said that he had never heard of it before. He had been here at the Demon-Suppressing Wall for more than ten years, and had been carving paintings on the wall all the time, reading books and comprehending the Dharma, and carving his thoughts and insights on the wall.

The many books he brought out from Tiandu Mountain were enough for him to read.

However, Chen Wenmei knew the route. She was wrapped in light, and all she saw in her eyes was a golden light washing over her like a waterfall. She could not see any other scenes at all, nor could she hear the sound of the wind breaking through the air.

"The mountains are surrounded by mountains, low in the middle and high around. There is fog rising in the sky, and there is spiritual light from the valley. From the outside, you can see that the spiritual light is not covered by darkness. This is Yunmeng Valley."

Chen Wenmei was afraid that Zhao Fuyun would fly too fast and miss the destination, so she couldn't help but speak while flying.

Although she could not move, as if restrained by some invisible force, the magic power in her body seemed to be suppressed, like still water in a pond, which does not cause ripples when she thinks about it. It was clearly still there, and she could clearly feel that it was her own magic power, but she could not move it away, as if her hands and feet were held down by a huge force and could not move at all.

"I don't know where this person came from, but with such means, he will definitely be able to save Senior Sister and the others."

At this moment, she felt the light fade away, and then her body instantly regained its freedom. Then her feet felt heavy and she landed on the ground. Wherever she looked, she saw a sea of clouds, which was faintly glowing.

"Senior, I heard that there is a demon with an inner elixir lurking in this mountain. We must not make too much noise when we go in or out." Chen Wenmei said hurriedly.

"It is only natural that there are monsters in such a beautiful place."

Zhao Fuyun stood on the top of a mountain. There was wind swirling around him like turbulence, blowing the clouds and mist to the east and west. However, the wind only blew to Zhao Fuyun and then stopped immediately.

Chen Wenmei discovered this situation, but did not see Zhao Fuyun holding any magic formulas, nor using incantations to cast spells. She knew that the magic spells cast by Zhao Fuyun beside her followed his thoughts, or the magic had penetrated deep into his thoughts and did not need to be cast deliberately.

She heard that Dao patterns would naturally condense on the bones of Jindan cultivators. These Dao patterns were the Dharma principles in the talismans that had been cultivated to a deep level and entered into the bone marrow, becoming instinct and supernatural powers.

"This mountain is so big, how did you get in before?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

"We came from the north before. When the weather was clear and crisp in autumn, the fog at the valley entrance would dissipate, so we came in through that valley entrance," said Chen Wenmei.

"Then how did you get trapped?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

"In this valley, rainy days are the most dangerous. We had calculated the time, and there should be no rain during that period, but for some reason, it suddenly rained, causing a thick fog in the valley. Later, after receiving the rain, the senior sister said that the rain was caused by a person casting a spell. She also opened an altar and set up an array, and used the received rain to fight with the opponent in the air, but there was no result." Chen Wenmei said. She was nearby at the time and heard the other party's voice during the fight, which contained many obscene words. She was embarrassed to describe it here.

Most of the people in their group from Mount Li were women. Although there were male cultivators invited to help, the other party took a liking to the female cultivators from Mount Li at first sight.

"How did you escape?" Zhao Fuyun seemed to have just thought of asking this at this moment.

Generally speaking, if someone suspected her, the first thing they would ask her was how she escaped.

"I was able to transform into a ghost-eyed butterfly, a species unique to the valley, by chance after taking a fear-heart fruit that freed me from the valley's bewitching spells. Senior Sister Wenyun also gave me a magic-transforming talisman, so I was able to transform into a ghost-eyed butterfly, a species unique to the valley, with a poison-avoiding pill in my mouth, and thus break through the mist and fly out. If someone else transforms into a ghost-eyed butterfly, they will reveal their magic light in order to resist the valley's bewitching spells, and thus be blocked by the enemy."

"Before me, there was a senior brother who transformed into a ghost-eyed butterfly and flew out, then was shot down by an arrow. His life or death is unknown." Chen Wenmei looked a little depressed when she said this.

Zhao Fuyun knew what she meant. She transformed into a ghost-eyed butterfly, so she would not reveal any flaws because she did not need to use spells or magic tools to resist the confusion in the valley.

Moreover, Zhao Fuyun knew that the talisman that could change a person's physical body was not simple. The more authentic the change was, the rarer it was.

"In other words, you still don't know where the enemy is, nor do you know their purpose?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

"Yes, but their purpose is nothing more than killing people for treasure, taking Yin to replenish Yang and so on." When she said the latter sentence, her voice lowered and her face turned a little red. She glanced at Zhao Fuyun and found that Zhao Fuyun was not looking at her. She couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Fuyun pondered for a moment and said, "It's probably just a group of foundation-building cultivators. If there are Purple Palaces among them, they wouldn't need these methods. Or maybe there are Purple Palaces but they don't want to alarm the inner elixir monster in this valley."

Chen Wenmei nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice, and this was also what she was thinking.

Zhao Fuyun looked at the rolling clouds in the valley in front of him. He knew that if his magic power was disturbed when he entered the bottom of the valley, it would be difficult to find people, because there were dense forests and ditches crisscrossing below. He also did not dare to cast spells for fear of alerting the big monster.

"Can you tell where your senior sister is from here?" Zhao Fuyun asked, pointing to the ever-changing clouds in the valley in front of him.

Chen Wenmei shook her head and said, "I don't know."

"Forget it, let's not think too much about it. Let's go in from the place where your senior sister came in before." Zhao Fuyun said, and once again picked up Chen Wenmei and headed towards the north.

This time, Chen Wenmei discovered that the senior who was carrying her was no longer performing the lightning-fast light escape technique, but a more mysterious escape technique. She felt her body rapidly becoming ethereal. She could originally feel the weight and the feeling of falling on her body, but soon, she felt her body becoming ethereal.

It felt like a piece of gauze, as if wind was blowing through the pores of my body, but I didn't feel any discomfort.

She felt like she had turned into a cloud, into fog, into a consciousness, into a ghost. She felt like she had fallen into a dream.

For a moment, she couldn't describe this feeling, and she couldn't help but think, could it be that I was bewitched by the mysterious sounds in the valley and fell into a dream?
But she quickly dispelled this thought, because if it were a dream, there would not be such vivid characters, and the people and events in dreams are often chaotic and absurd.

The speed of this escape is not fast, but it is silent.

She could guess why he changed his method of escape. It was probably because he was afraid that the light would be too bright and would alarm the big monster in the valley.

"What is his origin? How could he know two such profound and mysterious escape techniques?" Chen Wenmei thought to herself.
Although this method of hiding was not fast, it was not slow either. Before long, they arrived at the entrance of the valley in the north.

There is actually a camp at the entrance of the valley.

When he was puzzled, Chen Wenmei said, "This camp is a place where people who come here to collect herbs or look for spiritual materials gather and rest. It was formed over time."

Zhao Fuyun showed up after landing. The sudden and silent appearance of a man and a woman startled the people who were guarding the entrance of the valley and watching inside.

He was an old man smoking a dry cigarette. He turned back in surprise and looked at Zhao Fuyun and Chen Wenmei, sizing them up.

Zhao Fuyun had already restrained his aura, so others could not tell that he was a Purple Mansion cultivator. Zhao Fuyun also could not tell the depth of the old man in front of him.

He looked at Zhao Fuyun, and Zhao Fuyun also looked at him.

"Young man, you look unfamiliar. Are you new here?" The old man holding the pipe had deep wrinkles on his face, but his eyes were deep and bright.

"Yes." When Chen Wenmei was thinking about how to answer, Zhao Fuyun had already answered honestly.

"Are we going into the valley?" the old man asked again.

While Chen Wenmei was still wondering whether to deny it, Zhao Fuyun had already answered, "Yes."

"Young man, there has been a change in the valley. Originally, it should be opened now, but now the valley is filled with fog and it is no longer suitable to enter." The old man advised.

"Thank you old man for telling me, but I have to go in." Zhao Fuyun told the truth.

"What's the matter? Is there a friend trapped in there?" The old man seemed to be very experienced and he guessed it almost exactly after just hearing it.

Chen Wenmei immediately became alert and tried to make up an excuse, but Zhao Fuyun had already answered, "Yes."

Chen Wenmei couldn't help but look at Zhao Fuyun's handsome and feminine face, and sighed in her heart: "This senior who has a connection with my senior sister has profound magical powers and mysterious magic, but he is actually an honest man."
