"I will report every word of the information you presented tonight to your leader."

Kong Ju said so much just to hear Princess Qing say this.

According to the words of the Gujiang prophet, this incident affected four regions and one sea.

Wudong will certainly not be spared.

Being able to pass the message back earlier would also allow Huangfu Ying to make preparations early.

However, Wudong and Tianqi are nearly 300,000 miles apart, and the travel time is too long.

Huangfu Ying and his wife must have a way of contacting each other that others don't know. With Princess Qing delivering the message, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully, "Then I'll trouble Master's wife!"

The information Kong Ju obtained from his father-in-law Qiaoqiao was also made public for the first time.

Shangguan Yuzhou's doubts deepened, and he said with some distress: "What is the advantage that the Gujiang prophet wants to seize?"

"We don't hesitate to send so many Gujiang tribes to explore the way, and we don't hesitate to suffer such heavy casualties."

“No matter what it is, it cannot avoid the strange phenomena in the wilderness. The dangers involved are so great that even the powerful ones would have to retreat three degrees.” Huangfu Wuqin blinked with lingering fear. She almost died in the wilderness just by looking at the giant snake in the Black Mountain that day.

If the situation was changed by the great master Zhangsheng, it would not be much better.

"Don't make wild guesses. Your father and I are responsible for everything." Princess Qing looked at her daughter and warned her, "Each generation has its own things to do. Our generation is still alive. Don't overthink it and don't even think about touching that forbidden area."

"I know!" Huangfu Wuqin didn't listen to Huangfu Ying, but obeyed his mother's words.

At least that's what it looks like on the surface.

"It will take nearly two years for the Chaodi Ancient City to open. What are your plans during this period?" Princess Qing seemed unwilling to dwell on the issue of the Great Wilderness. Perhaps she was afraid that the three juniors in front of her would explore on their own initiative.

Asked Kong Ju and his friends about their itinerary.

"I want to go out and play!" Huangfu Wuqin answered expressionlessly, still making his final struggle.

"I didn't ask you!" Princess Qing rejected her proposal without even turning her head.

"Hmph!" Huangfu Wuqin snorted and laid her pretty face on the jade table, not looking at her mother as if she was sulking.

Seeing Princess Qing eating Huangfu Wuqin to death, Kong Ju smiled secretly.

Shangguan Yuzhou's response rang in my ears again.

"It's not easy to come to Tianqi, so naturally I have to meet the masters here."

Shangguan Yuzhou's answer was exactly the same as before.

Kong Ju replied after Shangguan Yuzhou: "I am going to visit Tianqi and see the local customs and people of this area."

These were all perfunctory words. Kong Ju's real plan was to find the Kuruo Temple and seize the opportunity within the next two years.

"Alright!" Princess Qing nodded slightly after hearing the two's responses, and then reminded them: "No matter what, in order to avoid accidents like Jing Yushou from happening again, it's better to leave as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Kong Ju and Shangguan Yuzhou naturally agreed.

Now that his master's wife's knowledge is obviously superior to Bai Xiangming's, Kong Ju naturally would not miss such a good opportunity.

He immediately asked sincerely, "Master's wife, have you heard of the Kuruo Temple?"

"Are you going to Kuruo Temple?" There was an inexplicable light in Princess Qing's eyes. After Kong Ju finished speaking, she looked at the latter.

Judging from her tone, she should know about Kuruo Temple. Kong Ju's eyes immediately lit up and he replied, "I have heard of this name in an ancient book. I was curious, so I asked Master. I asked Prince Xiangming before, but he said he didn't know. I can only ask Master, who is knowledgeable and talented."

"The name of Kuruo Temple has disappeared for nearly a thousand years. Not to mention people of Xiao Ming's age, even people of Master's wife's generation know very little about it." Princess Qing answered as she sat down at the desk, picked up the paintbrush on the pen holder, and sketched on the rice paper.

"Kuruo Temple was once glorious. At its peak, its fame was even greater than that of the current Shangzong Temple."

"Later, when its power and fame reached its peak, it fell overnight. Today, a thousand years later, it has been removed from the Tianqi region."

"How could such a huge force disappear overnight? This is too unbelievable. Does the royal family know the truth?" Kong Ju was concerned about his own opportunity and naturally would not miss any clues.

"That incident really shocked Tianqi at the time. Even the emperor at that time sent many people to investigate the matter, but he couldn't find out the reason. Its disappearance remains a mystery to this day." Princess Qing shook her head.

"Maybe it's not that there are no results from the investigation, but the results are too big." Kong Ju dared to say this because he trusted Princess Qing.

As expected, Princess Qing paused for a moment while drawing the pattern with her brush, and she moved her eyes away from the table. She looked at Kong Ju meaningfully with admiration in her eyes.

She replied in a noncommittal tone:

"All documents related to the Kurokoji Temple were destroyed after the investigation. I'm afraid no one knows the truth."

"Junior Brother Kong, why are you going there? That place sounds weird." Shangguan Yuzhou wanted to dissuade Kong Ju, not wanting him to take risks, so he invited him, "Why don't you go with me to meet the Tianqi genius? Wouldn't it be more interesting?"

"Haha, I'm just going to take a look. If there is any danger, I will definitely leave." Kong Ju laughed, and his tone seemed casual.

Only then did Shangguan Yuzhou breathe a sigh of relief.

On the other side, Princess Qing picked up her brush and started writing on the rice paper. Soon, a beautiful map was sketched out by her pen.

As she waved the brush, the rice paper automatically flew towards Kong Ju.

At the same time, Princess Qing's voice sounded: "This is the map to Kurawa Temple."

During this process, Princess Qing did not ask Kong Ju any questions.

Kong Ju asked about Ku Ruo Temple, and she gave him a map.

The ink on the map was not dry yet and still had a faint scent of ink. Kong Ju took it respectfully and took a look at it.

The route on the map was marked in great detail, even the names of the cities and counties passed through were noted, and he immediately showed joy.

Putting away the map, Kong Ju bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Master's wife, for your help."

"They are all trivial matters." Princess Qing smiled slightly.

Kong Ju and Shangguan Yuzhou chatted with Princess Qing for a while.

Then he withdrew and left, leaving the time to the mother and daughter.

They are a mother and daughter reunited, so they must have a lot to talk about. It would be rude to stay any longer.

As Kong Ju and the other man retreated.

Huangfu Wuqin, who had remained silent on the matter of Kuruo Temple before, asked his mother hesitantly.

"Mother, why did you just give him the map when he asked you about the Kuruo Temple? You didn't try to persuade him, aren't you afraid that your husband's disciples will die in Tianqi?"

"That place doesn't sound good."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Your father's disciple knows a lot about this. If I say too much, I'll seem nagging." Princess Qing looked in the direction where Kong Ju left, her tone as gentle as ever.

"On the contrary, I have to keep a closer eye on you and Yu Zhou."

Huangfu Wuqin was immediately displeased when she heard her mother praising Kong Jue and using herself as a negative example. She retorted sharply, "What? You just met him for the first time. How come you seem to know everything?"

"Did I say something wrong?" Princess Qing stretched out her finger and tapped Huangfu Wuqin's forehead, telling her not to meddle in other people's business, and added, "This is also what your father meant!"

As she spoke, Princess Qing's eyes suddenly lit up with a different light, and she suddenly asked, "I've never seen you care so much about your mother before?"

"Ha!" Huangfu Wuqin chuckled, but replied calmly: "That's my junior fellow apprentice!"

But at this point, Huangfu Wuqin got excited. Suddenly, resentment rose in her eyes. She looked at Princess Qing and said, "I heard that mother promised me to Bai Yuanjin! And she even signed a marriage certificate?"

"I over-nod on this matter." Princess Qing knew that Huangfu Wuqin would ask about this sooner or later. She held her forehead and said rather melancholy, "Do you think I want to? I, your mother, am alone in this imperial city, and sometimes I have to give in to some things."

"I won't marry him anyway!" Huangfu Wuqin turned her head to one side with a firm tone.

"If you don't want to marry, then don't marry. I'm a woman and I can't make the decision." Princess Qing also smiled, with a shrewd look in her eyes.

"As long as your father doesn't agree, this marriage won't happen."

Huangfu Wuqin was stunned for a moment. After realizing her mother's intention, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She looked at Princess Qing with an angry expression and said, "Well, you must have used your daughter to get benefits! You are just like your husband, always using your daughter as a bargaining chip!"

"No!" Princess Qing's face showed no emotion, and she answered calmly.

"I'm going to run away from home."

"Just try and see if you dare!"

…

Kong Ju and Shangguan Yuzhou took their leave from Princess Qing and were taken to the side hall of Qingyun Palace by the housekeeper.

Crown Prince Bai Xiangming sat steadily in the hall drinking tea.

Seeing the two people walking into the side hall, he naturally greeted them with a smile.

The three of them had a conversation, and then Kong Ju took out the map that Princess Qing gave him and looked at it with great interest.

Seeing Kong Jue absorbed in the painting, Bai Xiangming suddenly remembered something and asked with a rather strange expression, "Did you give the painting that my aunt just drew to Brother Kong?"

"Yes." This matter was just a trivial matter to Kong Jue and there was no need to hide it, so he answered quite happily.

After receiving a positive answer, Bai Xiangming already had envy on his face. He bowed to Kong Ju and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Brother Kong. My aunt's paintings are very hard to find in the imperial city."

Kong Ju noticed that Bai Xiangming's words were full of intrigue, so he put down the map and asked with a smile, "What does it say?"

When Shangguan Yuzhou first met Princess Qing, he felt friendly. Seeing Bai Xiangming's expression, he also became curious and humbly asked the latter: "Brother Bai, is there any secret in Master's Aunt's paintings?"

Bai Xiangming took a sip of tea and nodded: "There are a lot of tricks in this."

"My father once said that although my aunt was a girl, she was extremely talented and stood out among the many princes and princesses when she was young."

"My current cultivation is even more unfathomable. I'm afraid I've already entered the Soul Transformation stage for a long time."

Kong Ju was not surprised at all about the strength of his master's wife. He could tell from Huangfu Wuqin's qualifications.

But what is the connection between Princess Qing’s strength and the painting she gave him?

Bai Xiangming saw the doubt on Kong Ju's face, and he didn't keep her in suspense. He lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "You two don't know that in addition to my aunt's unfathomable cultivation, she is also extremely talented in the art of talismans."

"When she was young, she integrated the art of talismans into her paintings, opening up a new path. My father once said that every painting of my aunt has unfathomable power. This secret is only known to the Tianqi royal family."

"Master's wife is so talented!" After hearing what Bai Xiangming said, Kong Ju's face was also moved.

Opening up a new path is not as simple as it sounds.

Yu Xianqi's Xu Po Arrow is still one of the few precious inheritances of the Cangwu Sect even hundreds of years after his death.

There is also the mysterious pill-eating method of the pill ghost Sun Shu'e, which can refine magical pills.

Then there is the Thunder Lord's Thunder of Nine Thousand, the East Immortal's Heavenly River Sword Intention,

All of them are innovations based on the work of their predecessors.

Each of them is a person of extraordinary talent. (End of this chapter)
