Chapter 371: The Secret of the Blessed Land
Lu Jiuyuan was very surprised: "Yes."
"Where did you find it?"
"Where did this little box come from?"
Xie Yingmian sighed.
This is really true, after searching high and low for something, it finally comes to you without any effort.
Xie Yingmian told Lu Jiuyuan the origin of the small box and the tattoo on the eldest princess' body.
Hearing about the Grand Princess, Lu Jiuyuan's expression changed slightly: "The Grand Princess has a Gu Master clan tattoo on her body?"
Xie Yingmian: "You don't know?"
Lu Jiuyuan: ...
How could he, a man, know whether the eldest princess had any tattoos?
Xie Yingmian said: "The expert beside Chu Xiao used a green hidden weapon with the word 'Jueming' engraved on the bottom."
Lu Jiuyuan admitted directly: "He is mine."
"My people are just protecting Chu Xiao."
"This is what my father told me. After I learned about Chu Xiao's whereabouts, I sent people over. The Grand Princess thought those people were Chu Xiao's men and did not exclude us."
Xie Yingmian finally figured out the whole story.
Xiao Kui felt that the pattern looked familiar. It was probably because when the Gu Masters attacked the paradise, Xiao Kui caught a glimpse of the marks on their bodies, which left an impression in his little brain.
The wet nurse and the eldest princess's tattoo artist should also be related to the Gu Master clan.
But they don't have an answer yet as to what the specific relationship is.
Yu Lingye's slender fingers gently peeled the loquat.
He put the peeled loquat flesh into a white jade plate, and handed it to Xie Yingmian when he had peeled a certain amount.
Xie Yingmian was talking about being thirsty.
Seeing the loquats that Yu Lingye had peeled, her eyes lit up: "Thank you."
Yu Lingye: "You're welcome."
When Lu Jiuyuan saw the little interaction between Yu Lingye and Xie Yingmian, his eyes dimmed slightly.
He thought of the time he spent with Liu Yunyi.
At that time, they were just like Yu Lingye and Xie Yingmian, deeply in love and sweet to the point of being sickening.
If Liu Yunyi had not confessed and asked them to hand Xie Jingyun over to the emperor, he might never have known Liu Yunyi's hypocrisy towards him.
Feelings are the most unreliable things.
Xie Yingmian had no idea what Lu Jiuyuan was thinking.
She asked, "I'm confused. It's said that the people in the blessed land have unfathomable martial arts skills. People there can reach the Wuji realm at a young age. Anyone who comes out is an unparalleled master."
"How could they be defeated so easily by the Gu Master clan?"
Lu Jiuyuan said, "I have also asked the elder the same question."
"The elder told me the unknown secret of the blessed land."
"Everyone in the world talks about the blessed land. They say that those who live there can live long lives, have sharp hearing and eyesight, and that those in the blessed land can quickly learn things that others cannot. And so on."
"But the world never knows that those who live in a paradise cannot leave it."
"Once they leave the blessed land, they will age rapidly."
"The longer you stay in a blessed land, the faster you age after leaving. For example, if someone lives in a blessed land for sixty years, their physical fitness and appearance will be similar to those of a thirty-year-old. No one who sees them will think they are sixty years old."
"However, once he leaves the blessed land, he will age at the rate of one year per day."
"In just one month, he will become like an ordinary 60-year-old man. His teeth will fall out, his hair will turn white, and his body will become hunched."
"That's not all. In two months, he'll look like a 90-year-old man."
"Someone like him can only survive three months at most outside."
"If he stays in the blessed land for a short time, for example, two years, he will be able to remember everything he sees and achieve twice the result with half the effort. After leaving the blessed land, he will slowly return to his previous state."
"In other words, if a mediocre person goes to a paradise and becomes a genius, after leaving the paradise, the genius will quickly become even more mediocre than before."
"This is also the reason why, although the people in the blessed land are powerful, they rarely appear outside."
Xie Yingmian understood.
Just as she thought,
Gene mutation is a double-edged sword.
Where there is a good side, there is a bad side.
Lu Jiuyuan: "The elder said that they were originally villagers from a nearby village. They accidentally discovered a cave while trying to escape the war."
"While taking refuge in that cave, they discovered the unique characteristics of the cave's teachings. Their bodies were transformed, and no matter what they learned, they achieved twice the result with half the effort."
"There's a bodyguard master in the village who knows some martial arts, but he's not a master. According to the normal realm classification, he's just an ordinary warrior at the ordinary level."
"After three years in the cave, the escort master inexplicably opened up his Ren and Du meridians, becoming a top-notch expert."
"There was an old scholar in the village. After passing the examination for the scholar, he could not pass the examination for the juren no matter how hard he tried. After three years there, he seemed to have opened up some connections, and he was full of knowledge and had a photographic memory."
"There are many things like this."
"They thought it was a blessed land for the gods, hence the name 'Dongtian Fudi'."
"At that time, many people in the village were eager to make a move. Some wanted to dominate the martial arts world, some wanted to become the top scorer in the imperial examination, some wanted to become wealthy, and some even wanted to be emperor. They felt they were omnipotent and invincible, that they were favored by the gods and that they deserved to look down on the world."
"They left excitedly, but soon came back dejected."
Lu Jiuyuan laughed when he said this.
God is sometimes very cruel.
Sometimes it's fair.
"What about the Gu Master clan? They defected from the paradise, so why are they able to stay outside?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Lu Jiuyuan said, "I asked the elders, and they said that the Gu Master clan used a special technique that was extremely evil. It was precisely because of its evil nature that they were expelled from the blessed land."
"As for what kind of skills it is, I asked, but the elder didn't tell me. He only told me to wipe out the Gu Master clan, otherwise the people would suffer and the world would be in chaos."
"So, how did the Gu Master clan destroy the blessed land?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Lu Jiuyuan was silent.
It took a long time.
He then said, "There is a traitor."
"The traitor has poisoned everyone with a very strange poison."
"Strictly speaking, that Gu worm isn't a Gu worm at all, not even a bug. It's a plant, a special plant he cultivated on his own that can be used to make dishes, soups, and stews."
"The traitor spent many years gaining the trust of everyone in the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land. He enjoys cooking and inviting people to his home to taste his dishes. Therefore, almost everyone in the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land has tasted his dishes."
“People who have eaten his dishes have not noticed anything unusual, nor will they notice anything unusual.”
"However, when the Gu Masters attacked, he blew the Gu flute, and the Gu insects that had been dormant for a long time were instantly awakened."
