Chapter 237: The Spirit of Canglan Flute
The purpose of Su Qingwu's trip is to solve the mystery of the jade flute in Li Xin's fantasy world.
She wanted to know why this treasure chose to help her and instead fight against the Yuyi tribe when they attacked her.
Now that the jade flute had been borrowed by someone, she naturally left with it.
The three gods were all second-rank cultivators from the Shili Dangqi Sect.
Although Buddhism is the main religion in Lingyuan Continent, the Dangqi Sect belongs to the Taoist sect.
In the Lixin illusion, this sect also participated in the hunt, but was eventually destroyed by her own hands.
There are two Hedao monks and thirty-nine Fanxu monks in the sect. They are considered the top ones among the second-grade forces.
The sect’s headquarters is exactly the same as the one shown in Li Xin’s illusion.
Su Qingwu relied on his original memory and easily sneaked into the sect's residence.
According to the previous conversations between the few people and Chief Yuyi, the Canglan Flute can not only be used to attack the enemy, but is also a healing relic.
The reason why the Dangqi Sect borrowed this treasure was to heal the sect leader's beloved grandson.
After getting the treasure, the three gods handed it over to the sect immediately.
Sect leader Yin Ze took the treasure to the secret room, hoping to use the special flute sound to heal his wounds.
There were numerous restrictions around the secret room, and Su Qingwu could not pass through without alerting the enemy, so he had to stay outside.
In this way, naturally, there is no way to know what happened in the secret room.
At that time, Su Wen and Kong Jiu had returned to their respective treasures. Seeing her staying outside, they began to communicate and chat with each other through telepathy.
"This sect has borrowed the treasure of the Yuyi tribe. Will it return it?"
"The overall strength of the Yuyi Clan is not very weak, but there is no great Hedao master in the clan. If the Dangqi Sect finds an excuse and refuses to let us return, the clan may not be able to do anything about it."
"Looking at the tribe leader's reaction at the time, we can guess something."
"They obviously didn't lend the treasure out voluntarily. If the treasure had been kept in the secret room, what would the owner have done?"
"If this is true, then it means that I am unlucky. I can only leave now and wait until my cultivation level improves before solving the mystery of the jade flute."
There are two people in the Hedao realm in the Dangqi Sect. Although Su Qingwu has now advanced to the realm of returning to the void, he is not very confident in facing the two of them.
The mystery will be solved one day, there is no need to rush, so if something is impossible, she will give up for the time being.
As I was thinking this, I heard a loud bang close to my ears.
The sound came from the secret room.
Su Qingwu was surprised and immediately flew back to a relatively safe place.
The next moment, all the buildings within a ten-mile radius of the secret room collapsed, and those that were close were directly shattered into powder.
Dozens of figures flew out at the same time, one of them was particularly dazzling.
The girl in red clothes and with white hair was the one Su Qingwu had seen jumping into the pool of fire in the Soul Mist Swamp and in the fragments of the undead's memories.
At this moment, Canglandi was held in his right hand.
Opposite her, a group of Dangqi Sect monks were suspended in mid-air, forming a standoff with her.
The girl's eyes were cold, she said nothing and continued to move.
Su Qingwu felt the power of her attack from a distance and was completely certain that she was the spirit of Canglandi. Her strength was not inferior to that of a great master of Hedao.
Two Hedao masters from the Dangqi Sect joined forces and managed to tie with him.
The change came suddenly, and the monks of this sect were unable to react in time. All those who were within the attack range were killed.
Even though they were very far away, many people were knocked unconscious and fell to the ground.
The secret room had already been reduced to dust, and judging from the extremely angry look on the sect leader's face, not only had the people not been saved, they had also perished.
The battle lasted for a long time.
In order to avoid being affected, Su Qingwu directly evacuated the Dangqi Sect’s headquarters.
After half a day, the fighting gradually subsided.
After noticing this, she was about to go back to check the situation, but unexpectedly a red light rushed towards her.
The visitor was none other than the spirit of the Canglan Di.
The girl in red seemed to have noticed her a long time ago. She appeared in front of her in a moment with a gentle smile on her face.
"It's not safe here. Those two old guys are not dead yet. Come with me and I'll take you to a place."
Before Su Qingwu could react, the girl in red grabbed her and took her away quickly to the north.
Because her spiritual perception did not give any warning of danger, and Canglan Di had helped her before in the illusory world, she did not resist and followed Di Ling all the way.
About an incense stick later, the girl in red took her through a giant waterfall and cast a spell to enter another space.
What you see is beautiful mountains and clear waters, singing birds and blooming flowers, just like a paradise on earth.
Arriving here, the girl in red slowly descended on the open ground.
"My name is Hongyin, and this was once my hometown."
Su Qingwu then gave his name, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked:
"Why did you bring me here, senior?"
Hongyin turned her head and looked at her, a hint of reminiscence in her eyes.
"Because you are the master of the Qiankun Bottle. When I was alive, the Hong family, to which I belonged, was ordered to guard this treasure for generations."
Su Qingwu was greatly surprised to hear this.
If this is true, then it seems to make sense that Cang Lan Di attacked the Yu Yi clan for her in the Li Xin illusion.
"Senior, could you please tell me... on whose orders?"
"Even those at the Dao-combining realm would flock to this innate treasure. Who do you think would give this order?"
"Is it...the way of heaven?"
Hongyin nodded, then changed the subject and brought up something.
"The Hong family was born with the will of heaven, but unfortunately in the Middle Ages, there was no one who could make the Qiankun Bottle recognize him as its master. Later, when the catastrophe of the era came, the spiritual power of our cultivators declined day by day.
Just at that time, some members of the Yuyi tribe found this place and slaughtered all of us except me.
My spiritual power was sealed by this beast and I was brought back to the Yuyi tribe. At that time, the tribe was refining a treasure. The priest learned of my existence through divination and designated me as the spirit of the treasure.
I knew that there was no hope of revenge while I was still alive, so I jumped into the pool of fire and became the spirit of Canglan Di.
In fact, according to their original plan, when the sacrifice to Canglan Di was successful, all my memories would be erased. Unfortunately, I survived, and my memories did not disappear. Instead, they slaughtered the entire tribe."
These words matched the scenes revealed in the memory fragments of the Soul Mist Swamp in the past, and there was no contradiction.
Su Qingwu tried to ask: "What is the current situation of the Yuyi tribe?"
Hong Yin explained:
"They are not the real Yuyi tribe, they just inherited the corresponding tradition. Otherwise, why would I allow them to live in this world? Strictly speaking, they should belong to the Juli tribe.
The remaining sacrificial site in the Mozhi Mountains was built by the ancestors of the Juli tribe.
Unfortunately, the descendants were unfilial and after inheriting the tradition, they arbitrarily changed the place of sacrifice and incorporated elements of the Yuyi tribe.
Later, when they saw that the results were not good, they used the excuse that the environment was not suitable for living, abandoned their ancestors, and relocated their clan, only occasionally sending people back to check.
In fact, the Giant Power Tribe likes fire, and the End Mountain Range is the most suitable place for them to survive."
This conversation completely cleared up Su Qingwu's doubts.
In terms of grade alone, the Canglan flute belongs to the Taoist instrument level.
Hong Yin, as the spirit of this flute, has survived till now, and countless years have passed.
Now, being here, looking at her familiar hometown, she continued:
"This place should have disappeared along with the catastrophe of the Middle Ages, but I managed to preserve it. If nothing unexpected happens, the catastrophe of the Post-Ancient Age will soon arrive."
