Chapter 73: Fu Yuan Zhenren is an eyesore
The three people behind him followed him in. When the moonlight shone into the stone door, they exclaimed in unison at the first sight...
"grass."
"grass."
"grass."
Jiang Shouyin remained silent on the surface, but he secretly cursed in his heart.
Inside the stone gate, the space is open but extremely simple, and the whole picture can be seen at a glance.
The surroundings are empty, with a circular stone platform in the center and many words engraved on the front of the platform.
On the stone platform, sat an old man with white hair and a youthful face, completely naked.
It's quite eye-catching...
This person had long since stopped breathing, but it might be because his cultivation was too high, so his body and spiritual energy had not dissipated and had never decayed.
Jiang Shouyin remembered him.
This is none other than the master of Qianlong Secret Realm, Master Fuyuan.
He is a wanderer without any sect or school, but he practices the orthodox Taoist tradition. He has a strange personality and is quite... casual.
Zhenren Fu Yuan and his senior brother Wang Shouyi were once good friends. The two masters often made appointments to go to Shenluo City to discuss Taoism, so Jiang Shouyin met him several times when he was very young.
It was very strange at that time. There were obviously many powerful people in Chaoge City, and Shenxu Temple was a famous Taoist temple. The temple had all kinds of Taoist treasures.
But they just like to go to Shenluo City to discuss the Dao.
Especially during the Flower City Conference in May every year, sometimes the discussion can even last a whole month.
Jiang Shouyin was only a few years old at that time. Every time he saw the elderly Wang Shouyi coming back from discussing Taoism with a tired look on his face, he would feel envious and think that he would also devote his whole life to Taoism.
When he grew up, he finally understood that his senior brother had indeed devoted his entire life to the pursuit of truth.
But this way is not that way.
Unfortunately, Master Fu Yuan's cultivation always remained at the realm of all things, and his lifespan was ultimately limited.
The last time he came to Shenxu Temple was to give a key to the Qianlong Secret Realm to his senior brother.
After that, several years passed without him coming back. The senior brother guessed that he might have failed in his search for a great opportunity, so he sent his disciple Zhang Yuyan to investigate.
But unexpectedly, Zhang Yuyan didn't come back either.
Several disciples of Shenxu Temple came to the stone platform and looked at the words engraved on it.
"I think if it ends like this, anyone who enters this cave will say wow. This scene is quite interesting."
"Don't panic. As the saying goes, we come and go naked without any worries. This is the natural law of human nature."
"Moreover, among all the people in the world, who dares to be naked in the world? It must be me."
"You should look at it and thank me."
After reading this, Jiang Shouyin couldn't help but complain in his heart, how come this old man seems so proud...
You see, it's a profit, right?
But one thing is true, among all the masters in the world, you are the only one who is so eye-catching...
"My name is Fu Yuan. I learned from Chan Canzi, the Pure Yang Dao. I have no disciples or companions. I have practiced cultivation all my life, all by myself. How can I leave a desolate grave in vain?"
"When I was young, I traveled all over the world, and I was so dashing, but now I am an old man in the blink of an eye."
"The cycle of fate is coming to an end. There is no point in complaining."
"With a sigh, the great river flows eastward, and ends up empty."
“Yes.”
"I have practiced cultivation for a lifetime and have accumulated wealth, all of which are stored in the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm. When I went south, I divided the secret realm key into four parts. I once dreamed of gaining immortality and opening the secret realm. Now it seems that this idea has become a pipe dream."
"Yesterday I encountered a rebellious king of a ghost country in the mountains. I used all my life's cultivation to suppress him, and my vitality was also greatly consumed. In the dark, you should know that the end is coming."
"The four secret keys, one was given to the Dragon Son-in-law of the Han family in Tiannan, one was given to the Immortal Shouyi of Shenxu Temple, and one was given to the Fairy Lanyue of Guanghan Sect."
"I have made friends all my life, but I can't think of a fourth choice."
"A few days ago, I selected this cave as the place for my ashes. Now I have drawn a map. If someone with a destiny follows the map and comes here, and bows respectfully to my corpse three times, he will obtain the fourth secret key."
"From now on, there is no one left to confide in. I want to say a thousand words, but they only make you laugh."
"Fuyuan, the last stroke."
Can I get the fourth secret key by bowing to this corpse three times?
Jiang Shouyin finished reading it and bowed without thinking much.
I have met Master Fu Yuan before, so he can be considered my senior. It’s nothing to kowtow a few times in front of his spirit.
Kowtow three times with sincerity and respect.
Boom, boom, boom.
After a pause, he saw a stone slab removed from the ground in front of him, with a line of words written on it.
"You're kidding. The key is behind me."
“…”
Some words came to Jiang Shouyin's lips, but he held them back. He silently said in his heart, the dead are the greatest.
He stood up with a complicated expression, walked around the stone platform and took a look. Sure enough, there was a secret box with a broken key to the secret realm inside.
There is a word "Qian" engraved under the treasure key.
Jiang Shouyin smiled slightly.
Now that we know the whereabouts of the other three keys and have obtained the fourth key, we can open the Qianlong Secret Realm by exchanging them or exploring together.
I should have found my own dragon fruit.
At this moment, a green shadow suddenly flashed into the stone cave, as if swimming in along the moonlight, and no one noticed it.
Just when Jiang Shouyin reached out to take the secret key, the shadow suddenly emitted a green light, instantly got ahead of him, entangled the secret key, rolled it up and ran away!
Jiang Shouyin's eyes flashed, and he shouted, "How dare you!"
With a clear sword chant, the Sky-lifting Sword instantly appeared!
cut!
The green light was cut off by a sword, and it turned out to be just a piece of flowing cloud sleeves.
Seeing that Jiang Shouyin was powerful, the green figure did not bother to continue, turned around and left, flying away like the wind.
“Where are you going!”
Jiang Shouyin caught the secret key with his left hand, threw the flying sword into the sky with his right hand, stepped on it with both feet, and chased after it.
As the green figure came out of the cave, she raised a green halo. The halo spun around, supporting her body, making her look like a graceful woman.
With a halo in front and a flying sword behind, the night sky of Miaofeng Mountain was illuminated again for a moment.
Jiang Shouyin clasped his hands together and exerted force, increasing the speed of the flying sword by another 10%, and it turned into an afterimage.
The light wheel was about to be caught up by him.
Two beams of light flew low over a clear river one after another. The green figure heard the sound of wind behind his ears and simply landed on the river bank.
Jiang Shouyin passed her, pressed down the sword, and spun to the ground.
There was a graceful woman standing by the river, wearing a lotus-colored gauze skirt, with a slender figure, but unfortunately her face was covered with a layer of gauze, so her face could not be seen clearly.
But just this temperament makes people feel that she must be a beauty.
Jiang Shouyin said in a deep voice: "Who are you, young lady, and why are you trying to snatch the key to my secret realm?"
The woman didn't say anything, she just took two steps back and fell down quietly.
Jump into the river?
Jiang Shouyin's pupils condensed, he took a step forward and flew into the air above the river.
Plop.
The woman fell into the water calmly, her dress softened by the current. Suddenly, her figure faded and she dissolved into the water like a ball of ink.
In a flash, there was no trace left.
It was as if such a beauty had never existed.
Jiang Shouyin rolled over to the ground and released his spiritual sense, but he could not find any clues.
After pondering for a moment, his brows gradually relaxed. As long as the secret key was not taken away by the other party, it didn't matter.
As for this person's identity, even if she didn't say it, he could guess it a little.
A female cultivator of the righteous path, with superb cultivation, proficient in water escape...
"Guanghan Sect."
After muttering something softly, he turned and left, leaving behind a crescent moon on the river.
…
However, when the place was settled down, a red figure flashed out from behind the tree.
A pair of beautiful eyes looked at the river, then looked in the direction where Jiang Shouyin left.
Thoughtful...
The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole comes in later. I don't know that under the branch, the slingshot is hungry and thirsty...
Thanks to "th0525" for the 100 rewards, and thanks to "Just kidding" for the 100 rewards.
