Chapter 184 - Gu family
If there was a panic and something strange was going to happen, then there was definitely something odd about this mountain. Even Chu Fanliang would not let the creek stay behind.
They walked along the stream for a long time before finally meeting each other. When they came, there was nothing wrong with the road, nature was harmonious. After reaching that place, there was no need to go in to look. Just by sensing it with his spirit energy, Chu Fanliang knew that he was fine.
Because the house in front of him should be someone eating in the mountain, Chu Fanliang went in to ask around.
"Is anyone home?" Chu Fanliang knew that there was someone at home, but he still knocked politely and pretended not to know.
Sssii! * The door opened and an elderly man came out.
"I wonder who you two little friends are looking for?" The old man coughed a few times. He looked to be a few hundred years old. In terms of strength, he was only at the peak of Qi Cultivating Stage, he hadn't even broken through to spiritual exercise.
"Oh, old grandpa, a member of my Qing City has come here and is lost. I don't know how to return." Chu Fanliang said in a friendly manner.
In the world of cultivation, there were many people with average strength, or in other words, those without strength. Even though the lordmaster was coughing a few times right now, if they really fought, even a few wolves and tigers wouldn't be his match.
Otherwise, would he dare to survive in the wilderness like this? He had to have a wife and children or something, and live here.
"Oh? People of the Qing City, that was a long way from here. After you get down the mountain, head northwest. Once you reach the main road, you can return to the Qing City. "
"Thank you, old grandpa." Chu Fanliang still had to thank him, but the old man didn't seem to hide anything and truthfully told him the location.
"Then if there's nothing else, I'll go back." The old man coughed a couple more times and then got it.
"He's old and no longer fit. Right now, he's the world for you youngsters. "Oh yeah, you guys should be careful on your way back, there are a lot of bandits on this road." The old grandpa kindly reminded.
"En, got it. I will thank the old grandpa here." That's right, old grandpa, that small stream in front of your house is extremely clear. Did it come from that mountain? " Chu Fanliang finally found a way to choose the main topic.
"Yes, from that mountain. Needless to say, this little stream is extremely clear. Even the water that we drink is from here. " When the old man said till here, he did not even need Chu Fanliang to ask anything, and started to talk nonstop.
"This stream is very old. Ever since my grandfather started settling in here, he's been living on that stream. Do you know why that mountain is uninhabited? Even we are here? "
Chu Fanliang shook his head, he had no idea, if he had known, why would he even come here to ask.
"Let me tell you, that mountain is called 'Soul Shrinking Mountain'. Legend has it that sitting on the mountain is a powerful and soul-stirring expert, an existence that ordinary people like us cannot touch.
Everyone who got there would forget themselves and do nothing on the mountain. However, when they got out of the mountain, they only knew that they had gone in, but they didn't know what they had done.
That place is called the Soul Forgotten Mountain, we don't even know if it's real, that's just a legend.
This stream flowed down from that mountain. It was fine for us to drink from this stream, but if we went up, there would be people who would forget their memories.
Some of them even heard the ghostly wails and wolf howls from the Soul Forgotten Mountain. Later, it was said that another expert came and fought the soulless person for several days. Finally, the person that was originally on the mountain was sealed. It was that mountain.
"Later on, the mountain was no longer able to be climbed, and there were no more wails or howls."
"So this place has existed since long ago? Or rather, has it always existed? " Chu Fanliang fell into deep thought. If it could be said that this place had always existed, then the meaning would be different.
Perhaps it was the pillar of the cultivation world? Or perhaps it was some divine object that existed with the heavens and the earth. In short, it was not some ordinary object.
If it was later on, then this place was an almighty being's relic, so no matter what, Chu Fanliang had to see what was there.
"I don't know, but I know it's always there." The old grandpa said with certainty.
"Oh, oh, oh. Alright, old grandpa, I will take my leave first."
"See you later."
"See you later." Chu Fanliang pulled Situ Youwei down, they were going to return to the Qing City.
Chu Fanliang changed his appearance and returned to the Qing City. If he returned to the Qing City with his true face, he would never be able to settle down.
Chu Fanliang was a hero who managed to get rid of many poisonous tumors. If it wasn't for that, Chu Fanliang would have felt so good entering the city with his real face.
Furthermore, Chu Fanliang had no choice but to enter the Qing City. If he wanted to return to the Qing Gang, Chu Fanliang only knew that there was a passage to the Qing City. He had to go back to the Qing Gang once more. The last time he met the Mortal Realm cultivators was in the Qing Gang.
They had come to participate in the Large Competition as if they were here for sightseeing. The only reason why there was no suspense was that they had fought rather fiercely in the end.
If not for this, they were here to sightsee. Half a month had already passed in a flash, and Chu Fanliang had traveled to many places in this half a month.
However, Gu Aotian followed him the entire time, like a little brother, and also like a young master.
In the next few days, they did not go out to the Qing City.
The Cultivator was always this monotonous. They always cultivated and had nothing better to do. They were not lacking in material wealth, and the only thing they lacked was kung fu.
On this day, about ten gray-robed elders walked in from the entrance of Qing City. His footsteps were light and steady. With just a glance, one could tell that he wasn't an ordinary person.
After the few of them entered the city, they walked straight towards where Chu Fanliang and Gu Aotian were.
Chu Fanliang and the others were currently watching the gamblers getting addicted in a casino. The two of them were just watching from the sidelines, and they were alone in the noisy casino. They were all laughing at their happiness.
Chu Fanliang sat and watched their happiness, anger, and excitement. In the past, he had gone to the casinos in the Mortal Realm. It was his first time finding trouble or killing people there.
The path was chosen by them, and whether they succeeded or not was up to them. Whether it was covering one's heart with lard or playing with a heavy heart, it was inevitable that one would lose one's family's fortune.
The gamblers knew that a small gamble like this would hurt their bodies, but no one could resist the temptation of money …
Just as Chu Fanliang and Gu Aotian were enjoying watching this, even they were sighing for the young man, this gambling house had received a few uninvited guests.
"Come out. Do you still want me, your grandfather, to go in?" Such a voice came from outside the casino. Everyone in the casino felt their minds go blank. They even forgot the size they had just suppressed.
They were shocked by this sound. Of course, a few of the more powerful people in the casino had already fully recovered in the blink of an eye. Peak of Spirit King, Spirit King, no matter what, could be considered a small expert.
This was also because the person outside who called himself grandfather showed mercy, Chu Fanliang immediately knew of his cultivation, a high level Spirit Sage. Although he had not reached Spirit Emperor, he had already spied on them.
That voice was for everyone in the casino to hear. It was also a lesson for those in the casino.
Gambling was definitely not a good habit. They all knew that there was always someone stronger than them, so why did they come to gamble? In the end, he didn't even care about his own life. In this world where the strong were revered, what could a gambler do?
"Grandfather, why are you here?" It was only now that Gu Aotian realized that the person who had arrived was none other than his grandfather who was from the fourth generation, Gu Xingyun.
Speaking of Gu Xingyun, who went back to the golden generation 200 years ago, Gu Xingyun was the biggest dark horse in that competition. From the time when no one wanted to participate, to the moment when the Large Competition ended, everyone knew about it.
At that time, he was already at the middle stage of Spirit Sage, but with the addition of the elixir he got from the Large Competition, he had already received great support from the Profound Sky Sect, and his strength had grown by leaps and bounds in the past two hundred years.
This time, the person leading the group was Gu Xingyun, and even if it was Gu Aotian's father, Gu Aotian would not care too much about him. But since it was this Gu Xingyun, he had no choice but to lower his head.
Gu Xingyun was one of the people that Gu Aotian admired the most. He was able to win second place at such a young age, especially with his perseverance. Most of all, his grandfather. They were five generations behind.
It was obvious that the Gu family in Profound Sky Sect was deeply rooted. The main branch family was the main branch family, while the rest were Pang Gen. In short, the Gu family accounted for more than half of the Profound Sky Sect.
Gu Aotian took the lead and walked out, with Chu Fanliang following behind him. Not long after, the people in the casino continued their frenzy, and no one noticed that there were two less people in the casino.
"If you don't come now, you'll die in the hands of others." His grandfather looked at Chu Fanliang meaningfully, but Chu Fanliang felt helpless.
To think that she treated him as a bad guy. How could someone as talented as her be treated as a bad guy?
"What do you mean, what's the matter?" Gu Aotian was at a loss, how could he know what was going on? Even though he could tell from the look his grandfather had given him just now that he was hostile towards Chu Fanliang.
"Come back with us. It's been a bit rough recently, but a few bandit groups have joined hands again, and there seem to be many experts among them. We don't know what's going on, so it's best to return with me to Profound Sky Sect." Gu Xingyun was completely thinking for Gu Aotian's sake.
Chu Fanliang had also heard about it. The bandits outside were rampant, and not only were there a lot of people, there seemed to be experts inside as well. Although they were worthless in the eyes of the Spirit Emperor s, they were still powerful existences in the eyes of the Spirit King s.
"The boss is here to protect me." Gu Aotian was referring to Chu Fanliang, because he had followed Chu Fanliang's strength for so many days, yet was unable to see through his true strength.
Chu Fanliang had too many secrets of his own. He was already a bundle of secrets, but now he felt even more unfathomable.
"Your boss? "I don't know whether it's reliable or not. Let's go, no matter what you say today, you have to come back with me." Gu Xingyun's mission this time was to bring Gu Aotian back, especially in someone else's territory. He was the first young master of Profound Sky Sect, what should he do if something happened?
Although they had confidence, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it was better to stay in their territory.
"Grandfather, I'm not going back. If he had evil intentions towards me, I would have died a long time ago." Gu Aotian similarly swept his gaze meaningfully at Chu Fanliang. Chu Fanliang was even more helpless, and the goosebumps on his body never stopped.
The old men stared at him in displeasure. This fellow, even his underling was staring at him with unfriendly eyes.
"What is it? The layers of Inhibition Formations on your body can kill you? "I'm kidding."
"What do you know? He …" Just as Gu Aotian wanted to continue talking endlessly, Xiao Bai had unknowingly arrived at the center of the group of old men and stood behind Chu Fanliang.
After Xiao Bai appeared, the elders also shifted their gaze from Chu Fanliang to Xiao Bai. However, what caused them to be even more shocked was that there was actually someone with them, and Hua Shu was also standing on Chu Fanliang's other side.
Originally, they were a little nervous due to Chu Fanliang's strength, but these two people who had appeared out of nowhere, were even more cautious.
"Him what? Just with you?" I want to do it, like this? " As the Xiao Bai spoke, she pointed a finger at Gu Aotian, causing Gu Aotian's body to involuntarily float. However, the people from the Profound Sky Sect were feeling helpless, because their strength had been sealed as well.
The middle stage of Spirit Emperor, those Spirit Sage would only have weak points in front of the middle stage of Spirit Emperor. Of course, they also had a way, and that was to self-destruct. At the moment, Xiao Bai only wanted to try a few moves, they did not need to self-destruct.
Furthermore, their Spirit Sage's self-detonation might even harm the early stage of Spirit Emperor, because self-detonation was only for an instant, causing all their energy to be squeezed together at a single point for the rest of their lives. But a middle stage Spirit Emperor could quickly avoid danger.
Since he was able to seal off their strength, it was sufficient to prove that the Xiao Bai was powerful. It was better that they did not act rashly.
It was also because they did not feel any hostility from the seal set up by the Xiao Bai. As they saw Gu Aotian's rise and his descent, the elders all became silent.
The best way was not to talk. It was useless to reason with these old men.
Only with absolute strength would they be able to stop them from talking. Xiao Bai knew about this, but she did not appear. He was summoned by Chu Fanliang, don't forget, the two of them were able to communicate telepathically, so they had a contract with each other.
Following Gu Aotian's descent, the seal on Gu Xingyun and the others' strength had already been lifted, and it was only at this moment that they suddenly realized.
"If I have evil intentions towards him, who in Profound Sky Sect can stop me?" Xiao Bai looked down on these old men, he could not believe what he had heard, and spoke in a stiff tone.
If there was a panic and something strange was going to happen, then there was definitely something odd about this mountain. Even Chu Fanliang would not let the creek stay behind.
They walked along the stream for a long time before finally meeting each other. When they came, there was nothing wrong with the road, nature was harmonious. After reaching that place, there was no need to go in to look. Just by sensing it with his spirit energy, Chu Fanliang knew that he was fine.
