The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky
Chapter 290 You've finally arrived, the bride price
However, this was probably the most difficult and painful period of Yang Guo's life.
But Yang Guo was stubborn and also very strong-willed.
Despite wanting to infiltrate the true forbidden area of the Quanzhen Sect, the Xuanwu Cave in the northern part of the back mountain.
But the journey was not so easy.
Yang Guo was also unable to sneak in all at once, as there were various trials along the way.
There's the Ten Directions Puppet Formation, the Flame Formation, the Ice Blade Formation, and the senior uncles who patrol back and forth frequently.
In addition, there are some law enforcement officers.
"Tsk tsk, no wonder this is the core of our Quanzhen Sect. This place is so secretive. When I came here to visit the Master back then, I wasn't even qualified to come in."
He came with his parents at the time.
The purpose, of course, was to visit his grandmaster, Qiu Chuji.
Unexpectedly, I got the chance to visit the real person.
That junior master of the Quanzhen Sect.
Then, this thought popped into Yang Guo's mind.
He wanted to become a disciple of a true master, to be his father's senior uncle, and to be his grandmaster's junior brother.
Wouldn't that elevate your generation in one go?
Unfortunately, finding the real person is not so easy.
"hiss."
Yang Guo silently thought to himself, "It really hurts."
Getting in isn't so easy.
Fortunately, he was a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, so although he encountered the Ten Directions Puppet Formation and fought with the puppets.
Although they were driven back.
Yang Guo was also slightly injured, with wounds on his body.
However, if you are not reported by the puppet, you will not be punished.
"Come back next time."
Yang Guo quietly retreated, unaware that inside a grand hall on Thousand Lotus Island in the middle of the lake...
Qin Hao sat cross-legged, with Ma Yu and Qiu Chuji beside him. In front of them was a water mirror, which displayed Yang Guo's actions without missing a single detail.
Even the gesture of Yang Guo grimacing in pain was incredibly clear.
Qiu Chuji was speechless; this junior uncle really had a terrible sense of humor.
He clearly intended to take on a disciple, but he made Yang Guo think that he was going to secretly come in to pay his respects and see if there was an opportunity to become his disciple.
Qin Hao seemed to sense Qiu Chuji's opinion, turned to look at Qiu Chuji, and said, "Qiu Chuji, do you have a problem with what I did?"
It's not that Qin Hao disliked Qiu Chuji.
Indeed, over the years, Qiu Chuji has acted out of public interest, but his methods are somewhat questionable.
It's the kind of situation where good intentions lead to bad outcomes.
"Back then, if you had placed Yang Kang in Wanyan Honglie's palace, do you think there would be a Yang Kang like we know today?"
Again.
Qiu Chuji was extremely troubled. Looking back now, he realized that he had indeed done something inappropriate.
But back then, didn't we not think of that?
Besides, Bao Xiruo herself was willing to go.
But who could have known that what happened back then was all because of Bao Xiruo's kindness?
But a mistake is a mistake.
Qiu Chuji also admitted it.
Over the years, he has advanced to the Innate Realm and become a Grandmaster.
In the martial arts world, he was a respected senior figure.
But it's different with Junior Uncle.
Scolding him is like scolding a dog.
Well, in that sense, Qiu Chuji felt he had underestimated himself.
However, there are still instances of arbitrary reprimands.
Of course, Qiu Chuji dared not say anything more.
After all, he did the same when reprimanding ordinary Quanzhen Sect disciples.
Their attitude was even worse.
So when Qin Hao reprimanded him, he didn't dare to say anything.
Well, he didn't dare say anything to his junior uncle.
Who can blame them when this is the junior uncle that Uncle Zhou brought back?
Moreover, he carried forward and promoted his master's Quanzhen School.
Not only will the resistance against the Jin dynasty succeed, but this entire world will also be developed into the territory of the sect alliance.
Within the sect alliance, two of the five great grotto heavens and five great philanthropists belong to the Quanzhen Sect.
Moreover, the five great grotto heavens were all created by the Quanzhen School.
Doesn't that mean the whole world belongs to the Quanzhen Sect?
Well, the Western White Tiger Grotto-heaven is actually still in the hands of Junior Uncle, and hasn't been passed down yet.
But isn't this meant to be passed down to his own apprentice's son?
But then he thought of his own disciple's son, who really wanted to become his junior uncle's disciple and call him senior brother.
And his own apprentices will have to call his son "uncle-master" instead.
Everything feels strange.
But if his junior master wants to take on a disciple, how can he refuse?
Moreover, he is the future master of the Western White Tiger Grotto-heaven and one of the five great philanthropists of the future.
What else could he say?
Yang Guo will no longer be able to put on airs.
Yang Guo, having just left this place, quickly went to the forbidden area to find Xiaolongnu.
The two children gradually became familiar with each other.
Qiu Chuji looked at the water mirror in front of him, and then at his junior uncle.
I always felt that the reason why Junior Uncle created this water mirror was actually to see how the love story between Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu would unfold.
But how can someone of your seniority, Junior Uncle, do something like this?
Besides, that's the Ancient Tomb Sect.
Your mentor, Wang Chongyang, has designated that area as a forbidden zone. Are you just going to watch Yang Guo rush in like that?
And she also has to have a romantic relationship with the disciples of the Ancient Tomb Sect inside?
Qin Hao glanced sideways at Qiu Chuji.
I do what I want, you can interfere.
This is a story I've wanted to see for many years.
Yes, I hope that the story of their first encounter at Fengling Ferry, where meeting Yang Guo led to a life-altering mistake, will never happen again.
Little Xiang'er, I need to help you get through this ordeal ahead of time.
That brat Yang Guo should be kicked out and sent to the West.
Yang Guo was talking to Xiaolongnu at that moment when, for some reason, he felt some kind of malice coming from the shadows.
"What's wrong with you?" Although Xiaolongnu was still aloof, Yang Guo felt that there was something different in her tone, whether it was his imagination or not.
Ma Yu turned around and asked, "Junior Uncle, are you really going to bring this couple together?"
Ma Yu felt that his junior uncle was trying to facilitate a good thing between the Quanzhen Sect and the Ancient Tomb Sect.
However, my master had warned us that the Ancient Tomb Sect's territory was forbidden, and the Quanzhen Sect was not allowed to go there.
Now, it's not just about going in, but also about marrying her.
Qin Hao looked at Ma Yu speechlessly and said, "Yang Guo didn't become a monk, and although I am my senior brother's junior brother, I haven't become a monk either. Senior Brother Zhou is the same. Besides, I think that although Senior Brother could have done the great cause of resisting the Jin back then, he could have settled his own life's major event instead of creating the Ancient Tomb Sect, which is a terrible sin."
Ma Yu: ...
Although what Junior Uncle said seemed to make sense, they couldn't help but feel that he was being disrespectful to his master.
But Junior Uncle is a banished immortal, and he was brought back by Junior Uncle Zhou.
On another small island, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Ying are still there.
These two are far more powerful than them.
When the elders come to discipline them, will they just get beaten up?
Or are we taking a beating while fighting back?
Didn't Qiu Chuji next to him dare to speak?
This is the toughest of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.
"I'm going back now; I still have to go through the challenges."
Yang Guo waved and left the forbidden area.
The little dragon girl's cool voice came: "Then are you still coming?"
"Come on, I'll come back when I succeed. Or even if I fail again and have to rest for a while, I'll still come back."
That brat has quite a few tricks up his sleeve to win over girls.
He is handsome and dashing, and although he is young, his good looks are already evident.
"Girl, go back now," Granny Sun said with a sigh as she approached.
The disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect, because of what happened outside, has become a Buddhist monk and vowed never to leave the Ancient Tomb again.
This time, I encountered another young man.
Remembering the rule set by the young lady, that a man must be willing to die for his disciple before they are allowed to be together.
It's anyone's guess what the future holds for this Dragon Girl.
The stories about Yang Guo, Lin Chaoying's maid, and Granny Sun's daughter are all true.
Moreover, Granny Sun also knew that the junior uncle of the Quanzhen Sect, the legendary banished immortal, must also know about him.
The immortal sage occasionally preached, and this could be heard within the Ancient Tomb Sect.
Grandma Sun herself could hear it and gained a lot from it; now she is a top-notch expert.
Although the world's upper limit has increased and the number of innate martial artists has greatly increased.
But top-tier masters are still rare.
Yang Guo was unaware of his own feelings. He simply felt happy talking to Xiaolongnu, a feeling unlike any other girl he had, especially Guo Fu.
That cool yet refreshing voice penetrated deep into his heart.
"Ok?"
Yang Guo suddenly sensed something was amiss: "Is this a new test? A test of the mind?"
Yang Guo was very intelligent, and he had also read a lot of books.
Over the past few years, he has been trying to conquer the secret realm. What if he can't get through it?
Besides patiently cultivating one's inner strength, one should also improve one's martial arts techniques.
The rest of the time was spent reading books.
Of course, the purpose of reading books is also to improve one's skills.
One of them emphasizes cultivating the mind.
"Your reaction time is not slow, but unfortunately, even the guardian of the Primordial Tongtian Mountain, a cosmic-level barrier, couldn't stop you, let alone the one who could?"
Even in this world, Qin Hao's methods, though slightly inferior, are still effective.
Soon, Yang Guo was trapped in an illusion.
This was a mind-refining array specially set up by Qin Hao for Yang Guo. It employed many techniques to immerse Yang Guo's mind in an illusion, allowing him to fully experience a lifetime.
Every step is a test.
This kind of test is indeed very dangerous.
But Qin Hao was confident he could protect Yang Guo. At worst, he could extract Yang Guo's soul and use some treasures to repair it.
"Junior Uncle, what's wrong?" Ma Yu didn't recognize him.
Then Yang Guo suddenly became dazed, and then he would laugh and cry at the same time.
This was completely unexpected.
Qin Hao said calmly, "It's just a mind-refining formation. Once he comes out of the formation, it will be about time for him to come in."
"Refine the mind?"
"Naturally, everything is based on the same power. But the heart is the power that controls that power, and this must be ensured. Only when the heart is big enough can the power be infinite."
Heart?
This thing was ethereal and intangible; Ma Yu and the others had no understanding of it before.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Qin Hao simply began to preach.
"The heart is the root of everything, the foundation of the mind, and..."
Tomb School.
Xiaolongnu has always practiced the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, and after modifications, it no longer requires a male and female practitioner to always cultivate together. However, occasionally, it is indeed necessary for a man and a woman to cultivate together to ensure safety.
At this moment, Xiaolongnu sat cross-legged on the icy bed, but her heart was burning with passion.
If it weren't for the suppression of the ice bed, she probably would have already gone mad from her cultivation.
Just then, the annoying voice that Master had mentioned came.
For some reason, Xiaolongnu felt as if a "Mind and Spirit Manual" was resounding in her ears and appearing in her mind.
Gradually, she felt her inner strength growing stronger.
The power that was originally difficult to control quickly became more docile.
It seems that as long as one has a thought, these forces will be at one's beck and call.
Moreover, the heat in her heart gradually subsided.
"A banished immortal?"
A thought popped into Xiaolongnu's mind.
She had no idea that this "Mind and Spirit Manual" was an accident.
This was probably taught to me intentionally by that banished immortal who knew my current predicament.
But I am a disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect.
Master said...
A short while later, Xiaolongnu came out and was a little embarrassed when she saw her master.
But her master glanced at her and was immediately surprised: "You've mastered the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra?"
Xiaolongnu hesitated for a moment, then confessed: "Originally, I couldn't achieve great success, and just when I was about to suffer a qi deviation, the voice of that banished immortal came and passed on to me a set of 'Mind and Spirit Manuals,' which allowed me to control that intense heat, and then, without realizing it..."
The master fell silent.
How could she not know these things?
The Ancient Tomb Sect's rule was to kill all the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect.
But unfortunately, Lin Chaoying, her mistress, actually missed Wang Chongyang terribly.
This also means that the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra requires a man to practice together in order to achieve mastery.
Of course, the updated Jade Maiden Heart Sutra contains even more profound content.
Seven days later.
Qin Hao looked at Ma Yu and said, "Alright, this sermon is now over. You may leave."
Yang Guo looks like he's about to pass, so let's save him some face.
Lest he find out that all his actions over the years have been observed by all the high-ranking members of the Quanzhen Sect, and who knows how they might try to sabotage him.
If only he knew, Yang Guo would be willing to provoke a conflict.
We'll just suppress them.
It's Ma Yu and others, cough cough.
If we can't win in the future, and if we face retaliation, where will we put our faces?
Whether they had figured this out or not, Ma Yu and the others said goodbye and left quickly.
Yang Guo is destined to inherit a grotto-heaven in the future.
Although no one knows why, his junior uncle had already decided on this before he was even born.
But it's not unreasonable for a banished immortal to know a little about the future, is it?
However, after Ma Yu and the others left, the first person to visit this place was not Yang Guo.
Yang Guo will need some more time before he can come out.
Qin Hao looked ahead, and a woman slowly walked out.
"you……"
Logically speaking, she was just Lin Chaoying's maid.
The man before me is Wang Chongyang's junior brother.
Not to mention, he was a banished immortal.
The maid didn't know how to start the conversation.
Qin Hao didn't make things difficult for her. He first pointed to the front of the maid, where a lotus platform appeared.
"Please take a seat."
Witnessing this magical skill with her own eyes, the maid was even more shocked.
She also knew the back of Zhongnan Mountain very well.
But when I came here today, I realized that a lot has changed.
There are actually a series of lakes here. Isn't the north short of water?
How come there are so many lakes here?
Could it be that this place was all the work of this banished immortal?
Qin Hao smiled and said, "Please sit down first, I have something to tell you."
The maid had no choice but to sit down.
Qin Hao did not look at the other party, but said, "The Quanzhen Sect and the Ancient Tomb Sect have been neighbors for many years, and the founders of the two sects also have many connections."
In reality, Wang Chongyang was not without affection for Lin Chaoying.
It's just that my senior brother is devoted to the country and has suffered a great blow, so he can't accept it.
However, our two factions do not necessarily need to create such a tense atmosphere.
Look, aren't this kid and Little Dragon Girl the perfect link?
Don't worry, you can see the myriad lakes here. This is the prototype of the Northern Xuanwu Grotto-heaven, now forming a secret realm.
In addition, there are four other grotto-heavens within the five colors and five directions, all of which I created.
It was the emergence of these five nascent grotto-heavens that elevated this realm, resulting in a significant increase in the number of innate beings.
I see you've only been at the Innate Realm for about ten years, so I imagine you've benefited from that.
Or perhaps the Ancient Tomb Sect wants its own sanctuary?
what?
The maid could hardly believe her ears.
What did she hear?
"That's right, you heard me correctly. This can serve as the foundation of the Ancient Tomb Sect, and can be considered my dowry for Yang Guo. After all, of my disciples in this realm, all the others are married. Only Yang Guo is left."
"What? Senior from this realm?"
As Lin Chaoying's maid, it wasn't wrong for him to address Qin Hao as "senior."
If Lin Chaoying had married Wang Chongyang, she might even have had to address him as "Third Master."
Qin Hao nodded and said, "You heard me right. I selected a few places: Peach Blossom Island is the Eastern Azure Dragon Grotto-Heaven, and the Beggars' Sect has established the Central Qilin Grotto-Heaven outside Xiangyang City."
As for the Southern Emperor, Master Yideng, I created a Southern Vermilion Bird Grotto for him.
There is another place called the Western White Tiger Grotto, which I plan to pass on to my youngest disciple.
When the time comes, you can have Xiaolongnu marry into this place, and they will naturally become the masters of this grotto-heaven.
Alternatively, you can give it a good consideration.
If the Ancient Tomb Sect wants to be near the Quanzhen Sect, then the Quanzhen Sect will definitely protect the Ancient Tomb Sect.
If they wish to relocate to the vicinity of the White Tiger Cave in the west, Yang Guo's branch will also inherit the responsibility of the Quanzhen Sect to protect the Ancient Tomb Sect.
The maid was at a loss for what to do.
Just then, Qin Hao waved his hand, and a cloud of mist obscured the maid's figure.
Then, Yang Guo came out.
"You finally came."
A faint, ethereal voice startled Yang Guo.
But when he looked up, he saw a water mirror above him, and on it was a picture with himself at the center.
This?
Yang Guo immediately realized that his performance over the years might all be displayed in this water mirror.
That's really embarrassing.
Moreover, he talked to Xiaolongnu so much.
Over the years, he has been trapped in a dream world.
Each time, they had to go through a lot with Xiaolongnu.
At this point, he was no longer a teenager.
The image of Little Dragon Girl had already taken root in his heart.
At this moment, Yang Guo's experiences over the years began to play in the water mirror.
Of course, it refers to Yang Guo's experience in the illusion.
"this?"
Yang Guo was greatly surprised, even frightened: "Real person, can we stop playing this?"
Qin Hao turned around and asked, "What? Didn't you experience all of this yourself? Are you saying that all these choices were fake?"
"Of course not," Yang Guo replied. "It's just that, although the experience is real, it's still a little embarrassing to watch it again myself."
In the scene, Yang Guo risked his own life several times to save Xiaolongnu.
And sometimes, Xiaolongnu would reciprocate Yang Guo's kindness in the same way.
"Since it's all true, how about I go to the Ancient Tomb Sect to propose marriage on your behalf? I've even prepared the betrothal gifts."
In the shadows, the maid sighed.
But she still couldn't make up her mind.
This is just a water mirror; it might even be fake.
"this?"
"Wait, a bride price? Really, you?"
"Silly boy, still calling me 'real person' even now? Haven't you been quite clever all these years?" Qin Hao's teasing voice rang out.
"Yes, greetings, Master." Yang Guo immediately kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, seizing the opportunity to formally establish their relationship.
Qin Hao had already intended to take on apprentices, so naturally he wouldn't object.
Qin Hao then spoke again: "You experienced the first part all by yourself. But for the second half, I consulted with Xiaolongnu and asked her to join the battle as well."
"Wait a minute." Yang Guo felt his brain was about to explode: "What do you mean?"
"That's right, you and Xiaolongnu have already experienced nineteen lifetimes in the illusion. You should understand each other's feelings. Do you need me to propose marriage on your behalf?"
"Thank you, Master. I'm grateful for your help."
That kid is quite clever.
Qin Hao shook his head slightly, then turned to the maid and said, "Sect Leader, are you willing? If you feel that the betrothal gifts I gave before are not enough, we can discuss it further. I can also take three hundred gourds of lotus seeds from my Wanhu Lake and pills from my alchemy room."
The sins committed by Wang Chongyang must be repaid by his junior brother.
Even if it's the price I paid for taking on this title and making things easier for myself.
This can be considered cause and effect.
what?
Anyone else?
Yang Guo was startled. The clouds and mist beside him dispersed, revealing the maid's figure.
Not far away, a graceful lady walked over.
Little Dragon Girl stepped closer and said, "Master."
The maid sighed, looking at her disciple. How could she not know that the illusion from before was probably real?
Little Dragon Girl used to be clueless and didn't understand anything.
She quickly glanced at the dozen or so worlds that Xiaolongnu had experienced. Although the time was short, she had lived a complete life.
Her maidservant witnessed her experiences and feelings for Yang Guo.
"In that case, I agree. As for the location of the grotto, I need to go back and think about it carefully."
Whichever option you choose, it will actually be very advantageous for the Ancient Tomb Faction.
"Let's go, go back."
"Master."
"You're already planning to move in before you've even married into the family?" The maid was somewhat speechless.
"Master."
This sentence made me much happier.
Qin Hao was also very satisfied; the original Little Dragon Girl was too lonely.
He felt that a more playful Little Dragon Girl would be better.
So they deliberately did some tricks, and Xiaolongnu experienced more, even her personality became more lively like a little girl.
"What? You're planning to go live with them too? Want to marry into their family?" Qin Hao's teasing voice came from behind. Yang Guo turned around. If he weren't outmatched, or if he couldn't betray his master and ancestors, he would have done so.
He really is... (End of Chapter)
