Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 132 It’s Autumn!
"Yangtian Territory?"
Under the moonlight, Gu Xiaoxing, who was lying on the little Qilin's neck and mane, was suddenly startled and sat up.
Opposite him, Qiao Yanran nodded while sitting cross-legged. Her injuries had healed a lot now. The scratch on her snow-white neck disappeared, and the ice on her left abdomen melted, a halo of light flowed, and the wound was slowly healing.
“I haven’t been to Yangtian Domain Coffin Master, but if he calls himself Yangtian, he must be on the same level as Mo Nuwa.”
Inside the body, the coffin also spoke. At this moment, above the green smoke palace shrouding the coffin, there was a large black umbrella floating, covering the entire palace.
It was the Taiyin Umbrella. In this way, there was no need to worry about revealing his aura and letting Mo Xuyou notice and pursue him.
"Perfect transformation of the spirit?" Gu Xiaoxing had a painful look on his face. He felt that he was the only one who had achieved this.
Let me ask, apart from him, Gu Xiaoxing, which other "chosen son of heaven" could receive such treatment, being targeted by two great gods who had reached the perfect state of spiritual transformation when he was only at the foundation-building stage!
That's impossible!
"He shouldn't be coming to kill us from Yangtian Territory, right?" Gu Xiaoxing asked again. He was really scared in his heart. After all, didn't Mo Xuyou come to kill us from Youtian Territory?
"No!" Guan Ye's tone was very certain, "Youtian came across the domain, the Lord of Xuantian Domain must have known about it. If Yangtian comes again, do you think Xuantian can still sit back and let him in easily?"
“Even if we take a step back, this Qiao Nuwa is at most one of Yang Tian’s many Dao Seeds. Given her status, it is impossible for her to go to great lengths to come to …”
Gu Xiaoxing finally took a breath and asked again, "By the way, who is the Lord of Xuantian Territory?"
"I remember it was from the Xuanling clan, an ancestor who had reached the great perfection of the spirit transformation." said the coffin.
Gu Xiaoxing suddenly remembered that last time Cang Chenzi seemed to have said that the Xuantian Palace in the Xuantian Domain was related to the Xuanling Clan, but he didn't say it clearly. He also said that he had the aura of the Xuantian Palace on him, and he still hasn't figured out what this meant.
There was a gentle look in Qiao Yanran's eyes, but also a bit of worry. In fact, she had been controlled for so many years that she had more or less guessed Yang Tian's identity. If his real body came looking for her, it would probably be another catastrophe. Even if the spiritual treasure in Gu Xiaoxing's body was so powerful, it couldn't be stronger than a great master of the Divine Incarnation, right?
Now, both of them have been targeted. Facing such a great god, where can they escape?
With a sigh, Qiao Yanran didn't know whether it was Gu Xiaoxing who saved her or she who harmed him.
Qiao Yanran has been a bird in a cage for too long. Now that she is free from all restraints, she feels a little anxious and uneasy.
"Isn't it just Yang Tian?"
At this time, Gu Xiaoxing stood up with a bad look on his face, "There's no need to be so sad. I'm not afraid to tell you that Youtian has been targeting me for a long time, but nothing happened, right?"
As he spoke, Gu Xiaoxing proudly stood on the little Qilin's head, waved his hand, and said, "Get rich, charge, target... Fulai Village."
Qiao Yanran looked at Gu Xiaoxing's back and she suddenly realized, yes, there is nothing to worry about. Just practice Taoism. Isn't the freedom she has now the path she has always struggled for?
It is said that if one hears the truth in the morning, one can be ready to die in the evening. So what is there for me to be afraid of?
It is better to spread your wings and fly high for a moment than to be a bird in a cage for a lifetime.
At this moment, Qiao Yanran looked at the figure in front of her and had no worries in her heart. At least, the direction of traveling was also what her heart desired.
However, she didn't know that the reason why Gu Xiaoxing was not afraid was entirely because Coffin Master gave him a reassurance.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed, and it was still the little Qilin carrying the two of them at full speed. They had covered dozens of miles in the blink of an eye, and the speed was so fast that even Gu Xiaoxing's heart was excited.
Because they were not .
Fulai Village is located in the Menghuai Mountains!
Qiao Yanran opened her eyes while sitting cross-legged, stretched slowly, and finally, her injuries were healed.
Gu Xiaoxing who was standing by glanced over quietly and thought, damn it, you can just stretch if you want, but what’s the point of hooking my eyes?
Qiao Yanran obviously noticed Gu Xiaoxing's gaze, and smiled secretly in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface. After a few days, she had completely understood the erratic temper of her young master. She stood up, bowed, and said softly: "Sir, please allow me to go back to Yunxiao Sect first. Don't worry, Yanran will come back to serve you as soon as possible!"
Gu Xiaoxing blinked, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Ahem... Well, I want to ask, how do you serve?"
How to serve?
Qiao Yanran was stunned. She had never thought about this question. She said she wanted to serve, but in fact she just wanted to be with Gu Xiaoxing. It was not only because of the oath in her heart, but also because she wanted to experience a different life. But when Gu Xiaoxing asked her this, she was stumped.
To serve, isn’t it just serving tea and pouring water, just like those female disciples sitting beside me in Yunxiao Sect?
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and her pretty face blushed. Although she had been planted with the Tao seed since she was a child and had no contact with the opposite sex, so she was a little slow, she was not stupid. She immediately rolled her eyes at Gu Xiaoxing and said nothing.
When Gu Xiaoxing saw her pretty face, he was immediately moved. He slowly approached her, coughed dryly, and then reached out his dirty hand to hold Qiao Yanran's hand.
Seeing that the other party did not resist and let him hold his hand, Gu Xiaoxing's heart beat faster and he was ready to take the next step.
Qiao Yanran's heart was beating even faster at this moment, because of the nightmare at the beginning. Not to mention coming into contact with the opposite sex, even just getting close would make her extremely scared and angry, even now.
However, when facing Gu Xiaoxing, the person who rescued her from the deep prison, she would not feel the slightest fear or anger. Instead, she would feel at ease and a panic she had never felt before. However, this panic was not offensive.
"Qiao girl, I'll tell you a secret. This guy has a habit of collecting the underwear of female cultivators after killing them!"
An inexplicable voice suddenly appeared.
The two people who came into contact were stunned at the same time.
Qiao Yanran's shy and flustered heart calmed down. She slowly broke away from Gu Xiaoxing's hand, took a step back, and looked at Gu Xiaoxing with a smile. This smile revealed something weird and... meaningful!
"Broken coffin, how dare you ruin my good deeds!"
"It is my greatest pleasure to ruin your good deeds. If you are not convinced, come and fight me."
"Besides using this threat, what else do you have? Come out if you have the guts!"
"Come in if you dare!"
Looking at Gu Xiaoxing who was furiously arguing with the spiritual treasure in his body, this scene was very funny and made Qiao Yanran laugh, but as she laughed, her eyes inexplicably turned red.
In the hazy fog, she was finally sure that she had really woken up from that nightmare.
Gu Xiaoxing was naturally no match for Guan Ye and was quickly defeated. Before Qiao Yanran left, he took out the white jade ruyi and handed it to her.
"I saved Miao Yunyun in the Foundation Building Mountain, but failed to save Miao Fengfeng in the Thunder Cloud Sky. This is the only thing she left behind."
Qiao Yanran took the white jade ruyi, and after a moment of silence, she took out something and handed it to Gu Xiaoxing, then left.
Gu Xiaoxing rode on the Thunder Kirin, looking majestic all the way, heading straight towards the homeland he had left several years ago.
One day later, when an almost endless mountain range appeared in front of Gu Xiaoxing, he felt uneasy. Probably any wanderer who returns home from abroad would have this feeling.
However, Gu Xiaoxing gradually realized that something was wrong!
In the Menghuai Mountains, there lives a kind of demon pig. The original name of this demon pig is Menghuai, but because it is extremely sleepy and sleeps almost all year round, it is also called Menghuai.
But at this moment, when Gu Xiaoxing's spiritual sense swept over, he found that Meng Huai in the mountains was no longer asleep. Within a hundred miles of spiritual sense, Gu Xiaoxing discovered four Meng Huai demon pigs. Their cultivation levels ranged from the third to the seventh level of Qi Condensation. They were all energetic and running around.
This is completely different from the Meng Huai that Gu Xiaoxing met when he left the village in search of immortals eight years ago. If Meng Huai had such spirit at that time, he would never have been able to survive in the Menghuai Mountains for a whole month!
"What's going on?"
Gu Xiaoxing was filled with doubt and confusion. If all the demon pigs in the Menghuai Mountains were no longer asleep, wouldn't Fulai Village be in great danger?
Gu Xiaoxing's face darkened, and he directly asked Fa Cai to increase the speed to the limit.
The entire Menghuai Mountains are very large, much larger than Gu Xiaoxing had imagined, covering an area of thousands of miles. The closer he got, the uglier his expression became, because he had never met even a sleeping Menghuai. No matter if they were at the Qi Condensation or Foundation Building level, most of them were hot-tempered and ran around in the mountains and forests like ferocious beasts.
In other words, they were originally ferocious beasts, but why were they all sleeping before and awake now?
Gu Xiaoxing continued to move forward, searching frantically with his spiritual sense. Finally, near the center of the mountain range, he found a valley basin. It was so familiar that it had already been engraved in his memory and he had never forgotten it.
But when Gu Xiaoxing approached with excitement and trepidation, he found that everything in front of him was familiar, yet so strange, so strange that he was stunned.
The mountain is still the same mountain.
The land is still the same land.
Even the few big trees originally in the village are still standing there, unchanged.
but……
The village is gone...
The person is gone...
Gu Xiaoxing jumped off the little Qilin and looked ahead in a daze, unable to understand.
The little Qilin seemed to have noticed something was wrong with Gu Xiaoxing, and immediately ran to his Niwan Palace and hid there with a flash of light.
At this moment, in front of Gu Xiaoxing, there should be houses, fences, vegetable fields, and ancestral halls; there should also be children playing, chasing and fighting with each other, or jumping on the ground, or driving poultry and laughing.
And many more...
But at this moment, all of them are gone, and in front of Gu Xiaoxing, there is only emptiness.
If the village was destroyed, he would find out who destroyed it no matter what. But what appeared before him now was just an ordinary valley basin without any trace of a village.
It was as if everything in the past, everything in memory, was false and had never existed.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxing was at a loss. The only things in front of him that matched his memory were those big trees.
The wind blew in the valley, and the dead leaves fell.
I don’t know if the mottled appearance is the fallen leaves, the valley, or... the memory.
Today is autumn!
