Chapter 153: White Lotus Inheritance! (Subscribe!)
The night is just right.
Two figures were flying on the ground under the bright moonlight. With a slight tap of their toes, they could fly a long distance forward.
At this time, the moon in the sky was full, as if a silver plate was hanging in the sky. Two tiny figures were running in the bright moonlight like the tide, like two small boats rushing towards the vast silver ocean.
The two people were naturally Wang Mang and the Holy Lady White Lotus.
Once you make up your mind, you will naturally do it without any delay.
Long before night fell, the two of them had found an excuse to go out and scout the enemy situation and left.
Now that they were far away from the battlefield, the two were no longer restrained by anything and flew towards their target at an extremely fast speed.
Everything in the silver-white world illuminated by the moonlight seemed hazy and indistinct. Saint White Lotus suddenly said, "Wang Lang, what if the Brother Gu you mentioned refuses to help us?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Wang Mang glanced at her in surprise and said comfortingly, "I have known Brother Gu for more than ten years, so I naturally know what kind of person he is. He is a... well, a very elegant and indifferent person. He would never do anything to kill people to silence them or destroy the bodies."
They had met for more than five years, so how could Wang Mang not know what the White Lotus Saint was thinking.
After all, after being influenced by the intrigues and despicable practices of the White Lotus Sect for a long time, it is inevitable that the trust between people has been greatly reduced.
It sounds wonderful to be untainted by the mud, but even if you can ignore the mud, the stench of decay will inevitably seep into your heart and lungs.
"Once we seize the White Lotus inheritance, there will be no turning back. The White Lotus leader will definitely hunt us down at all costs."
The White Lotus Saint did not slow down. Although she was still hesitant in her heart, her trust in Wang Mang was still firm. She continued, "What I am afraid of is that as a fellow master, the brother Gu you mentioned is too young. Even if he wants to protect us, he cannot defeat the White Lotus Master and will harm him instead.
After all, so many years have passed, and we have only heard that he fought with the Imperial Guards once, and there has been no news of him fighting again, which even makes people doubt whether he is a martial arts master. Even if he is, you said that he is an elegant and indifferent person. Such a person should not be good at fighting, right? "
Wang Mang thought about it and felt that the White Lotus Saint's worries were indeed groundless.
Compared to the notorious Huang Chao, Mo Qiu who can be called a saint of the time, and the leader of the White Lotus Sect who has long proven his strength, Gu Dan, who is also a master, is simply unusually quiet and leisurely.
In the beginning, the White Lotus Sect had always been paying attention to Gu Dan, but in recent years they had long since stopped paying attention to him, treating as if nothing had happened.
To say that such a person must be very good at fighting is somewhat unscrupulous.
"It doesn't matter. We can take this opportunity to see what the White Lotus inheritance is, and then I will write a letter to Brother Gu. If Brother Gu is sure of defeating the White Lotus leader, we will directly invite Brother Gu to come. If Brother Gu is not sure, he will definitely write back to us, or directly invite Mo Zi to come. You also know that Mo Zi and Brother Gu are close friends and have worked under the same roof for ten years! Our relationship is very strong, so there is no need to worry so much."
Wang Mang did not answer perfunctorily. He thought about it seriously before continuing to answer.
"With Wang Lang's words, I feel much more relieved."
The White Lotus Saint also breathed a sigh of relief.
As a saint, leaving the White Lotus Sect itself is a betrayal, not to mention wanting to seize the White Lotus inheritance before leaving. That would really be a slap in the face of the White Lotus Sect leader.
It is inevitable that people will feel uneasy when comparing a martial arts master who has never had any reputation to his credit with the White Lotus Sect Leader who has been surrounded by fame since childhood and grew up under the remaining influence of the other.
With Wang Mang's assurance, her worries were alleviated a lot.
The two of them said no more and started on their way at full speed.
When the moon was at its zenith, a long rushing river appeared across the land, like a sea flowing on the plain.
The bright moonlight shone on the seemingly calm waves, like mercury poured all over the ground.
Sometimes a huge fish nearly half a meter long would tear through the silver platform, causing waves to soar into the sky and thousands of piles of snow to bloom.
This river is called Yuan River, and it is the undisputed mother river of Dayue.
The source of the river flows for thousands of miles, nourishing the fertile land in Yuzhou that is extremely suitable for farming, but also hiding many traces.
There are certainly reasons why the White Lotus Sect was able to survive through several dynasties and revive no matter how much it was suppressed.
To inherit the true White Lotus, one must dive into the source river at a specific place, and then follow the undercurrent to dive into the countless crisscrossing underground rivers that make it impossible to tell the directions of east, south, west, and north.
The source river is extremely deep, and there are big fish surrounding it. In addition, ordinary warriors cannot see things in the dark, let alone find the correct path among hundreds of underground rivers.
"After waiting for more than a year, it's finally time to take action!"
Taking a deep breath, Wang Mang said with emotion.
There must be a reason why the White Lotus Sect has been able to survive forever.
However, as the saying goes, if there is a plan from above, there is a countermeasure from below. No matter how secretive the White Lotus inheritance is, there must be someone who knows where it is! As long as you keep a close eye on the White Lotus leader, you can always find some clues.
Of course, the White Lotus Sect Leader is a martial arts master, so even if there are strong men of the same level following him, it would be difficult for him not to be discovered.
But he had been in the martial arts world for many years, so naturally he had his share of encounters! With the help of the White Lotus Saint, and the special powder he accidentally obtained, he successfully plotted against the White Lotus leader and finally caught some traces.
However, both of them were cautious by nature, and even though they knew where the White Lotus inheritance was hidden, they never took any action.
Who knows if the White Lotus Sect Leader has arranged any means at the White Lotus inheritance place? What if he rushes in and gets caught by mistake? He can get that special powder, but there is no guarantee that others don't have it! After all, he has been with Gu Dan for quite a while, and he has really learned a little bit of caution.
Things that should be put there will not be lost, but there is only one life! Since we are going to snatch the inheritance of the White Lotus, we must not rely on luck and hope that the White Lotus leader has not discovered that his house has been stolen! He does not want to try the martial arts master's torture method.
As long as we start fighting, that’s when the fight will break out! “Let’s go!”
The White Lotus Saint smiled at him, her beautiful face looking so gentle in the moonlight, like a fairy descending to earth.
As soon as she finished speaking, she took the lead and her graceful figure sank into the source river like a mermaid and disappeared without a trace.
Wang Mang also jumped down with a quick and decisive "plop".
As soon as I fell into the source river, the seemingly gentle water flow was extremely violent underwater. It was very difficult for an ordinary person to dive a depth of ten feet without being washed away by the water flow.
And deeper in the water, where not even a bit of light can be seen, there is a vague figure of a giant that is even larger than the big fish jumping out of the water, hovering there, which makes people feel creepy.
These things have become an invisible barrier to hide the inheritance of the White Lotus. Even a fisherman would not be so desperate as to dive deep into the source river.
However, today there are two people who are determined to take this risk.
The deeper you dive, the more real and intense pressure you feel from all sides. The extremely weak water flow seems to turn into an ever-shrinking iron wall, tightening every part of your body, even your heart and lungs.
Deeper and deeper.
When it dived to the deepest point, it was probably a full ten feet deep!
Even though Wang Mang and the White Lotus Saint were both experts in internal organ training, they felt a strong pressure.
If it were just pressure, it would be fine, and martial artists who have mastered the internal organs can still bear it. The problem is that under this kind of pressure, the breath-holding skill is greatly weakened.
They could hold their breath in such a place for a quarter of an hour at most, and then they had to turn back immediately.
Not to mention that there are hundreds of dark rivers below, with unknown lengths! Even if you know the correct path, it is not easy to get there. It can even be said that practicing Zang Daben itself is the minimum requirement for contacting the White Lotus inheritance!
This kind of natural place with various restrictions can probably only be found by masters at the master level of martial arts with ease.
The problem is that the source river spans thousands of miles. If you really want to find it one by one, even the life span of a martial arts master cannot do it! Although the inheritance has not met, the defense is extremely strict and hidden in the dark. It is no wonder that the White Lotus Sect can revive again and again, and finally be branded as a "rebellion"!
Unfortunately, there was a traitor among them.
There are no words to speak underwater; actions are the most direct communication.
The White Lotus Saint took the lead and rushed to the front. Her speed was even faster than Wang Mang. With a slight swing of her arms, she rushed forward like a fish swimming in the water.
Although they cannot release their internal Qi like a martial arts master, they have no problem withstanding the pressure and undercurrent in the water by relying on the internal Qi. The real limit for them is the time they can hold their breath.

After diving into the water, the two of them chose without any hesitation a place where an underwater undercurrent was gushing out that not even a single person could pass through, and used their fists to forcibly smash open and expand the entrance of the undercurrent.
The two of them went back and forth from the bottom of the water to the surface three times to breathe, and finally they expanded the entrance to the undercurrent to a point where one person could pass through unimpeded.
And it won't be long before the swift current of water will cover the passage that the two have just opened up, and the safety has almost reached a certain limit.
“Plop!”
With Wang Mang's fourth entry into the water, the two finally entered the narrow undercurrent channel and rushed forward against the undercurrent.
The rise and fall of my chest became increasingly rapid. I was completely unable to see and was in the deep water. It seemed that at every moment in the darkness some huge monster was about to pounce on me and take my life.
The cold water seemed to have life, taking away warmth from the body, and the impact of the undercurrent continued to consume every bit of physical strength.
Even though they knew they were on the right path, they could not completely suppress the fear in their hearts. Fortunately, both of them had intelligence far superior to that of ordinary people, and their firm hearts were able to withstand the dangers of the outside world.
Time passed by little by little, and I already felt a burning sensation in my chest.
Wang Mang held a small stone tightly in his hand. This was the secret signal he and the White Lotus Saint had agreed upon underwater. If he was about to collapse, he would immediately throw the small stone to the person in front of him to remind him to retreat first.
'Do you want to throw it away?'
Wang Mang hesitated for a rare moment. The return journey would also take time. Of course, the speed would be faster than the way here, but if he couldn't hold on, a martial artist who had mastered the internal organs would be drowned by the water! "Hold on for a while."
He gritted his teeth secretly. If the White Lotus Saint could hold on, how could he be worse than his woman? After an unknown amount of time, when the burning sensation had already reached his throat and his body was becoming heavier, Wang Mang finally threw away the small stone in his hand.
There is naturally no sound underwater.
But the retrograde torrent brought about by the pebble can still remind the White Lotus Saint.
Wang Mang was about to turn back when he suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder as if he had been hit by something.
He reached out and grabbed it very quickly, and by feel he could tell that it was a small stone.
According to the secret code that the two had agreed upon before, this meant that the White Lotus Saint had made some discoveries and could not retreat!
Wang Mang no longer hesitated and swam forward without hesitation.
'Fuck it, fight!'
He believed in his woman, just like the White Lotus Saint had never met Brother Gu before, but was willing to believe in his trust in Brother Gu.
When living in this world, we cannot be cautious and doubtful in everything. There must always be something worth believing in.
Just when Wang Mang felt that all the Qi in his body had been drained out and he was relying on his flesh to bear the pressure, and his heart and lungs were about to burst, there was suddenly no space in front of him! "Ha-ha-ha."
Wang Mang surfaced, and without caring about anything else, he just kept breathing heavily. His powerful breathing sounded as if dozens of large bellows were pulling at the same time.
After a long while, Wang Mang finally recovered and cursed angrily with a red face and thick neck: "Damn it, if it was any later, grandpa would have been drowned in the water!"
If someone knew that a man who had mastered the art of internal medicine could drown himself while diving, his name would go down in history and be passed down through the ages!
However, this curse did not receive any response.
Wang Mang was startled and immediately looked to the side.
This is an empty place. The walls of the cave, which should have been dark and gloomy, are inlaid with fist-sized luminous pearls, proving that someone must have set foot in this place and was very rich.
Under the light of the night pearl, the White Lotus Saint, wearing a white gauze dress that clung to her body, outlining her slender and plump curves, only revealed her soft side profile, but one could still tell that it was an extremely beautiful face, which made people stunned for a moment.
But at this moment, she was lying quietly on the shore, as if she was completely attracted by something, her head was motionless in one direction, and her breathing, which should have been as intense as Wang Mang's, was quite weak and was forcibly suppressed.
Wang Mang noticed something unusual and followed the gaze of the White Lotus Saint to look in that direction.
For a moment his breathing completely stopped.
It was an extremely huge statue that seemed to block out the sky and the sun!!!
Everywhere you look, there are statues.
However, every detail of the statue is clearly visible.
Next to the statue was a night-shining pearl that was even larger than a millstone. It was a rare treasure that Wang Mang had never heard of.
But at this time, those night-shining pearls piled up beside the statue were like small glass beads, so small that they were not worth mentioning, just like rotten grass and the bright moon! The moment Wang Mang looked at the statue, a kind of vast and ancient Taoism came to him and went straight into his heart! In an instant, Wang Mang had forgotten to think, and even breathing was nothing at this time.
That statue is the sky, the earth, and everything in it!
Wow——it’s so beautiful!
He saw the avenue!!!
