【Chapter 061】To Western Qi
Since the stone bed blocked spiritual consciousness, Nangong Chenyu had no idea what was under the stone bed for the time being.
While looking around the stone bed, he said to Ye Yisheng, "Look around the stone bed to see if there is any mechanism."
"Okay." Ye Yishen responded, and they gathered around the stone bed to check it out.
Although there were patterns carved around the stone bed, after the two looked carefully, they found that the stone bed was actually a whole piece. There was no trace of any mechanism on or around the stone bed.
Standing one meter away from the stone bed, Nangong Chenyu touched his chin and muttered to himself: "Strange, how could there be no mechanism? This shouldn't be possible!"
"How about trying force?" Ye Yisheng suggested.
Nangong Chenyu shook his head and said, "Force is useless. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
Ye Yishen was skeptical, but he immediately started practicing his martial arts and gathered spiritual energy in his hands to attack. A white attack hit the stone bed, but the imagined scene of the stone bed cracking did not occur.
Sure enough, the attack he launched did not cause any damage to the stone bed.
This made him think of a possibility, and his eyes lit up as he looked at the stone bed.
Guessing what he was thinking, Nangong Chenyu chuckled and said, "The stone bed is not a treasure. The reason why your attack is useless to it is because of the things under the stone bed."
Ye Yisheng: “…”
Okay, he was overthinking it.
There were no mechanisms around the stone bed, so Nangong Chenyu turned his attention to the walls surrounding the stone chamber. After taking a look, he actually discovered that there was a stone slab on one of the walls that was slightly recessed than the other stone slabs.
He walked over, put his hand on the concave stone slab, and pressed gently inside.
The next moment, the stone slab was pressed in. Immediately afterwards, a "cracking" sound was heard from the silent stone chamber.
Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen turned their heads at the same time to look in the direction of the stone bed.
I saw the stone bed slowly sinking.
At this moment, a strange feeling suddenly arose in Nangong Chenyu's heart, as if something was calling him from below.
This made him even more curious about what was under the stone bed.
He walked a few steps to Ye Yisheng and said, "Let's go down and take a look."
After saying that, he pulled Ye Yisheng up and quickly stood on the stone bed.
The two men sank down along with the stone bed.
After sinking about twenty meters, the two heard the sound of dripping water.
Although the monks could see at night, it was too dark underground. The two could only vaguely see that they were now in a cave.
Ye Yisheng immediately took out a night pearl from his space ring.
The dark cave was instantly illuminated.
The first thing that caught their eyes was a white-haired old man sitting cross-legged with his back to them. Not sensing any breath of life from the white-haired old man, the two knew that the other was dead.
Moving their eyes to the side, they saw skeletons all over the ground. Water was dripping down from the cave wall a little further away, and the sound of water the two had just heard came from here.
"Why do I feel it's eerie here?" Ye Yisheng poked his arm: "You said there's something underneath, you're not talking about those skeletons, are you?"
"No, you stand here and don't move." After saying that, Nangong Chenyu walked towards the white-haired old man not far away.
The white-haired old man had a wrinkled face, his eyes were closed, and he was holding a ceramic jar in his arms.
At this moment, Nangong Chenyu was sure that the call he had sensed before came from this ceramic jar. To be precise, it was not a call, but a cry for help.
He stretched out his hand and sucked, and the ceramic jar in the white-haired old man's arms flew towards him.
Just as the ceramic jar was about to fly into his hand, he retracted his hand.
"Bang!" The ceramic jar fell directly to the ground.
Not only did it not break, it even rolled around on the ground.
Looking at the white-haired old man again, because the ceramic jar was no longer in his arms, his body turned into a pile of powder in an instant.
Ye Yisheng, who saw this scene not far away, swallowed secretly.
Nangong Chenyu was not surprised at all.
The white-haired old man had obviously been dead for many years. The reason his body remained intact was because of the contents of the ceramic jar.
With a thought, a magic sword appeared in Nangong Chenyu's hand. Just as he was about to swing his sword at the ceramic jar, a ball of white light flew out of the ceramic jar at lightning speed and headed straight for his face.
The next second, Nangong Chenyu kept swinging his sword without moving.
In fact, his mind has already sunk into the sea of consciousness.
A white-haired old man was in his sea of consciousness, laughing happily and making strange "hehehe" sounds.
Nangong Chenyu raised his eyebrows and looked at the white-haired old man: "Old man, do you want to take over my body?"
The white-haired old man didn't care about Nangong Chenyu's address at all. He stared at Nangong Chenyu greedily: "Three hundred years, a full three hundred years! I can finally be a human being again!"
Nangong Chenyu: “…”
"Boy, I want your body." As he said that, the white-haired old man rushed towards Nangong Chenyu's soul.
Nangong Chenyu smiled coldly, and a white sword appeared out of thin air in his hand. When the white-haired old man was about to approach, he slashed with his sword.
The white-haired old man who was so arrogant the moment before was split in half by the sword condensed by Nangong Chenyu's spiritual sense the next moment, and he didn't even have time to scream.
The sword that Nangong Chenyu used was called Soul-Destroying, a sword move specifically targeting the soul.
Finally, the white-haired old man who was split into two halves by the sword turned into a white light spot and disappeared into the sea in Nangong Chenyu's sea of consciousness.
In less than a minute, the battle of possession ended before it even began.
Seeing Nangong Chenyu open his eyes, Ye Yisheng called out tentatively: "Second Young Master Nangong?"
Nangong Chenyu smiled at Ye Yisheng: "Don't worry, it's me."
Thinking of the common knowledge of cultivation that Nangong Chenyu had shared before, Ye Yisheng asked, "Did someone try to take over your body just now?"
Nangong Chenyu nodded and pointed to where the white-haired old man had just sat: "It is the old man sitting here who wants to possess my body."
Ye Yisheng asked curiously: "What about his soul?"
"Of course his soul has been scattered." Nangong Chenyu said as he input spiritual energy into the magic sword.
Ye Yisheng seemed to understand what he said, but not quite.
Nangong Chenyu slashed the ceramic jar with his sword.
"Bang~"
The ceramic jar shattered with a sound.
With a flash of golden light, a golden dragon as thick as a thumb flew out of the ceramic jar.
Ye Yisheng exclaimed: "Dragon!"
Nangong Chenyu explained: "It's not a real dragon, it's a dragon vein creature."
The golden little dragon flew around Nangong Chenyu twice and rubbed against his hand. Then it flew into Nangong Chenyu's body with a whoosh.
In less than two seconds, the golden dragon flew out of Nangong Chenyu's body again.
Seeing this scene, Ye Yisheng felt nervous. He walked quickly to Nangong Chenyu and asked nervously, "How are you?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Nangong Chenyu added: "It has no ill will towards me."
Ye Yishen put his worries to rest and when he looked at the golden dragon again, he found that it was gone.
"It's gone. It must be afraid that we would catch it and refine it like the white-haired old man did." Nangong Chenyu said.
Ye Yisheng asked: "You just said that the little golden dragon is a dragon vein creature. What is a dragon vein creature?"
Nangong Chenyu explained: "Every country has a dragon vein, and the dragon vein symbolizes the country's fortune. The dragon vein is a dead thing, but also a living thing. With the opportunity, the dragon vein will come to life."
Ye Yisheng asked again: "What effect do dragon vein creatures have on cultivators?"
Nangong Chenyu explained: "If a cultivator refines the dragon vein creatures, they can increase their cultivation and gain dragon energy. But doing so will damage their virtue, and generally, righteous cultivators will not do such a thing."
"If the white-haired old man really refines that golden dragon, the people of Dongli will suffer from misery and disasters until Dongli is destroyed."
"Every country in the Mortal World has cultivators stationed there. They guard the dragon veins of that country to prevent evil cultivators from stealing them."
Ye Yisheng pointed at the powder on the ground and said, "So this person is an evil cultivator?"
Nangong Chenyu shook his head: "No, he was the state teacher of Dongli Kingdom. He could not resist the temptation and stole the property. He used the blood of young boys and girls to refine a ceramic jar that could seal the golden dragon. In the end, he was unable to refine it until his life ended."
Ye Yisheng thought of something and said, "The little golden dragon just entered your body. Will it have any effect on you?"
"It's thanking me by leaving a trace of dragon energy in my body." After saying that, Nangong Chenyu looked inward.
He didn't know until he saw it. When he saw it, he found that there was a seal in his body. If it weren't for the dragon's energy, the seal would not have appeared.
But with his knowledge, he couldn't tell what the seal was.
It seems that this body of his has many secrets.
Seeing Nangong Chenyu standing there motionless again, Ye Yisheng called out, "Second Young Master Nangong?"
Coming back to his senses, Nangong Chenyu said, "Let's go out!"
"Are you really okay?" Ye Yisheng asked worriedly.
"I'm really fine." Nangong Chenyu reached out and gently rubbed Ye Yisheng's head: "Let's go."
The two left the Imperial Master's Mansion and went straight out of the city.
Two guards were waiting where the four had previously separated. Seeing Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen, they stood up immediately.
"Master, uncle."
"Keep on going!"
After saying that, Nangong Chenyu went to get his horse.
So does Ye Yisheng.
The four men mounted their horses and galloped into the night.
Finally, the day before the secret realm was opened, Nangong Chenyu and the other three arrived at the imperial city of Xiqi State.
However, as soon as he arrived, Nangong Chenyu heard people from the Ye Mansion find out that Nangong Suhao had been captured by the third prince of the Western Qi Kingdom. Also captured were a number of powerful warriors.
No need to guess, Nangong Suhao and the others must have been captured to be cannon fodder.
At night, Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yisheng broke into the Third Prince's mansion.
After discovering that there were cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage guarding Nangong Suhao and other captured people, Nangong Chenyu asked Ye Yishen to go back first and he went in alone.
Ye Yisheng knew his own strength and said, "I'll wait for you to come back."
During the day, Nangong Chenyu used his spiritual sense to explore the entire imperial city. It was discovered that among the cultivators who came to the Mortal Continent, there were actually two Jindan cultivators.
I heard that the cultivators from Lingyuan Continent would not allow the cultivators from Fanchen Continent to enter the secret realm together. If Nangong Chenyu wanted to get in, the best way was to go in with the warriors.
When they got close to the prison where Nangong Suhao and others were imprisoned, Nangong Chenyu launched a spiritual attack on the Foundation Establishment cultivator who was guarding the prison.
Because he was worried about alerting the enemy, the spiritual attack launched by Nangong Chenyu would only make the Foundation Establishment cultivator dizzy for a moment. He took advantage of the other party's dizziness and used the earth escape technique to quietly enter the cell where Nangong Suhao was imprisoned.
Everyone locked in the cell was sleeping, so no one noticed Nangong Chenyu's appearance.
He walked to Nangong Suhao, patted his shoulder, and called softly: "Brother, brother."
Nangong Suhao thought he was dreaming, and frowned slightly, but did not open his eyes.
"Brother, brother." Nangong Chenyu called twice again.
This time Nangong Suhao finally woke up.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Nangong Chenyu standing very close to him and thought he was dazzled. He reached out and rubbed his eyes and found that Nangong Chenyu was still there.
"Xiao Yu?" he called.
"Yeah." Nangong Chenyu asked: "Brother, how did you get caught by them?"
"Well, it's a long story." Nangong Suhao was very depressed.
"Let's talk over there." Nangong Chenyu pointed to a deserted corner.
"good."
After walking to the corner and sitting down, Nangong Suhao spoke: "The royal family of Xiqi State held a martial arts competition, and several friends who came with me all participated. I was not interested, so I did not participate."
"After watching the game that day, I met a second-generation rich man who was looking for trouble. I beat him up, but I didn't expect that he was the brother-in-law of the Third Prince. At night, assassins came to assassinate me, and I killed all of them in the end."
"I originally thought it was better to have less trouble than more, so I planned to tell my friends and leave Xiqi the next day. But before I even waited until the next day, I was caught here by a monk."
"I thought they were going to kill me, but they locked me up here and provided me with good food and drink every day. I don't know what they want."
Nangong Chenyu pointed at the other people in the cell and said, "What about them? Did they also offend the Third Prince's brother-in-law?"
Nangong Suhao shook his head and said, "No. Some of them participated in the competition and wanted to leave but couldn't; some of them, like me, offended people; and some of them are simply good at martial arts."
Nangong Chenyu first told Nangong Suhao his guess, and then told him his decision: "Brother, I'll take you out first."
Nangong Suhao pointed at the people in the cell and said, "These people have seen me. If I leave, I will definitely be discovered."
Nangong Chenyu: "Don't worry, I will tamper with their memories and make them forget you."
“Okay.” Nangong Suhao knew that if he followed him into the secret realm, he would definitely hold Nangong Chenyu back.
After using his spiritual energy to knock out everyone in the cell, Nangong Chenyu took Nangong Suhao away.
After leaving the Third Prince’s mansion, Nangong Chenyu felt Ye Yisheng’s presence.
"Why didn't you go back?"
"Aren't you going to bring big brother out? I was thinking of staying here to support him." Ye Yisheng said.
Nangong Chenyu looked at Ye Yisheng deeply before saying, "I'll take you back."
Soon the three of them returned to their residence in the imperial city.
Before leaving, Nangong Chenyu told Nangong Suhao: "Brother, you must keep an eye on Ye Yisheng tomorrow."
"Why am I looking at him?" Nangong Suhao said speechlessly.
