Chapter 1333 Nebula Pavilion

Lin Hao glanced at the navigation, then said to Si Teng, who was standing behind him in a daze:
"By the way, the navigation shows that we're almost at the Cangcheng Mountain area. Where are we going next? What are we going to do?"

Looking out the window, Si Teng said, "Find someone named Qiu Shan, who used to be a 'Suspended Master' in the Suspended Sect."

"Qiu Shan?" Lin Hao feigned ignorance and asked, "Which sect are you from? Where is your sect located?"

“Nebula Pavilion!” Si Teng asked curiously, “Don’t you know about the Suspended Gate?”

Lin Hao used his phone for navigation and casually replied:

"I know about the Suspended Masters and the Kai tribe. I know that the Suspended Masters exist to deal with the Kai tribe, but that's all I know. I've never actually seen one before!"

"By the way, what do you want with them? Let me tell you, this is a society governed by law, and seeking revenge in private can land you in jail!"

Si Teng glanced at Lin Hao, then said, "It's none of your business!"

"You don't need me to worry about it?" Lin Hao said with a faint smile. "You don't actually think that modern society has no way to deal with you, do you?"

Seeing that Si Teng didn't take it seriously, Lin Hao smiled and said, "Radiation, pesticides, chemicals, fire, insects~!"

"Alright, stop talking!" She might not understand the first few, but fire and insects are her nemesis. Even the weakest insects make her instinctively afraid. The things ranked first are probably not good either.

Lin Hao said with a smile, "When I have time, I'll show you some information on how modern society is destroying the Earth. You'll then understand how terrifying modern society is in terms of destroying species."

"Hmm~!" Due to his lack of understanding of modern society, Si Teng responded lightly to indicate his agreement.

"Strange, there's no place called Yunge around here!" Lin Hao said, frowning.

Si Teng paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said somewhat absentmindedly, "It's probably because so much time has passed that people have forgotten!"

Although he couldn't find it online, that didn't stump Lin Hao. He took the money and asked if there were any elderly people in their seventies or eighties nearby.

The Nebula Pavilion used to be quite famous. Young people may not know it, but the older generation certainly does.

Just as Lin Hao had expected, when the old man saw the money in Lin Hao's hand, he immediately remembered the location of "Nebula Pavilion".

Finally, just as dusk was falling, the two arrived near the Nebula Pavilion.

After finding a spot to park the car, Lin Hao asked again which branch of Xingyun Pavilion was located.

After all, he had only received general information before, and he still didn't know which company it was.

Having learned where Nebula Pavilion was, Lin Hao and Si Teng went there together.

"Ah! Help! Murder!"

"Kun, don't run away! Don't run away!"

As the two were walking, a young man in his early twenties wearing glasses suddenly bumped into them.

A slightly overweight young man carrying a chainsaw followed behind.

Someone who didn't know the situation might think this was a scene from Saw!

Lin Hao stopped the bespectacled man and helped him up. The bespectacled man then hid behind Lin Hao, cautiously watching the slightly chubby man approaching with a chainsaw.

These two were Wang Qiankun and Yan Furui. Upon seeing the strangers, Yan Furui turned off the chainsaw and then looked at Lin Hao apologetically, saying:
"I'm so sorry! I was startled! It was a misunderstanding, we're friends!"

At this point, Yan Furui looked at the bespectacled man earnestly and said:
"Wang Qiankun, I really just want you to see what's in that cave. You'll understand after you see it!"

Wang Qiankun peeked out and whispered, "Really?"

Yan Furui said, "Think about it, what kind of relationship have our two families had over the years? Would I ever cheat you?"

"That's hard to say. Some people love to take advantage of acquaintances," Lin Hao joked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiankun was so frightened that he quickly shrank back and dared not look at Yan Furui again.

"Hahaha," Lin Hao laughed a few times.

"Just kidding, Brother Wang, don't worry. I don't think this brother means any harm!"

Yan Furui was initially a little angry when he heard Lin Hao's words. Who was he? How could he possibly cheat his friends or acquaintances?

As he listened further, he felt relieved, realizing that the other person was just joking, and he didn't take it to heart.

Wang Qiankun also realized something: "That makes sense!"

Yan Furui continued, "Think about it again. If your great-grandfather Li Zhengyuan were still alive, what would he do? He would definitely send you down to take a look too!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiankun nodded subconsciously, then his expression softened, and he stepped out from behind Lin Hao.

Then, looking at Lin Hao apologetically, she said, "I'm so sorry, what a blunder! We'll be going now, thank you!"

"Wait a minute!" Wang Qiankun was about to leave with Yan Furui when Si Teng called out to him.

At this moment, the two noticed that there was a woman not far behind Wen Hao, a woman of stunning beauty and exceptional temperament.

Si Teng stepped forward gracefully, a different light gradually rising in the depths of her eyes as she looked at the two of them: "I think I heard you mention Li Zhengyuan just now, didn't you?"

Wang Qiankun nodded: "Li Zhengyuan is my great-grandmaster. What? You actually know my great-grandmaster?"

"Heh!" Si Teng chuckled softly.
"I visited Changming Mountain in my early years and was fortunate enough to see the words that Master Li Xuan inscribed on the mountain gate. The words read: 'Follow the Tao and value virtue, and be in harmony with heaven and man.' The brushstrokes were powerful and the momentum was continuous. Master Li Xuan really wrote a beautiful piece of calligraphy!"

Wang Qiankun said modestly, "Madam, you flatter me. My great-master was indeed... well, that..."

At this point, Wang Qiankun seemed to remember something and became hesitant. As his disciple, how could he not know whether his master's calligraphy was good or bad?

So he smiled somewhat awkwardly and said, "Um, I'm very accomplished in calligraphy!"

Lin Hao did not miss the fleeting hint of sarcasm in Si Teng's eyes.

After Wang Qiankun and Yan Furui left, Lin Hao asked Si Teng with certainty, "This Li Zhengyuan, his handwriting must not be very good, right?"

"Back then, I received a letter from him in person!" Si Teng's eyes gradually deepened, as if he was trying hard to recall something.

"Back then, people were very polite. Even when they were cursing, they did it in a refined manner. I was standing right in front of him, but he still had to pretend to hand me a proclamation!"

"When you unfold it, it's a long, sprawling text of over a thousand words. Besides being a complete patchwork of ancient ideas, what's most unbearable is the handwriting. It's like chicken claws, like ghosts crawling. It would make Cangjie vomit blood and Confucius hang himself."

Lin Hao chuckled and said, "You cultured people, when you get into swearing, you really do manage to use the most elegant language without ever using a single swear word!"

This monster, when it gets cultured, can be quite dangerous. Lin Hao found it amusing, then asked curiously, "And then what happened? Did you reply to him?"

Si Teng shook his head and said, "No, I glanced at it and told him I can't read!"

"Hahahaha~!" Lin Hao laughed loudly, "Interesting, you're quite good at teasing people!" "By the way, I found a few older locals earlier, and they said that Qiu Shan has an apprentice who lives on the mountain, the one with the chainsaw just now."

Looking in the direction Wang Qiankun and Yan Furui had left, and sensing that the two of them possessed no magical power, he couldn't help but sigh and say:
"Back in the day, Li Zhengyuan and Qiu Shan were both influential figures in the Xuanmen sect. Now, their disciples and grand-disciples are truly getting worse with each generation."

Lin Hao raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "What, you're not going to make things difficult for those younger ones, are you?"

"Why should I make things difficult for these useless juniors?" Si Teng said with a disdainful look.
"It's true that you have to take revenge as soon as possible, otherwise you won't even have the chance to do so."

"Let's go take a look!" Si Teng said, walking in the direction the two had left.

To be honest, the Suspended Gate technique exists in this world, but it's not that great. Compared to Si Teng's strength, Lin Hao thinks that those people in the Suspended Gate are just average.

Of course, it's also possible that the people in the Suspended Gate are not skilled enough.

However, no matter how powerful it is, its potential is extremely limited.

In the past two days, Lin Hao had also asked Si Teng about some techniques of the Suspended Gate, and he found that the Suspended Gate Master's abilities were pitifully weak.

The only somewhat powerful spell is the Lightning Summoning Technique; as for other spells, such as summoning wind and rain, their power is pitifully weak.

Even with the aid of a "magical artifact," it is completely incomparable to his Five Thunder Orthodox Method.

The only things that were somewhat useful were those so-called magical artifacts. Although they couldn't even withstand cannonballs, compared to the magical artifacts in Uncle Nine's world, they really lowered the level of cultivation.

This so-called magical artifact felt more like an energy storage device to Lin Hao, and once the energy inside was used up, it couldn't be replenished.

What Lin Hao was looking forward to was the nine-eyed dzi bead, which seemed to involve genetic abilities, and Lin Hao was quite interested in it.

When Lin Hao and Si Teng arrived at Xingyun Pavilion, Wang Qiankun and Yan Furui had already gone down into the underground cave. Their conversation occasionally drifted out, one excited and the other calm.

"Look, look, are you dumbfounded? I didn't lie to you, did I, Kun'er? Look at this vine root, listen to it, it's this one, this root, it makes a sound when you tap it!"

Seeing this, Wang Qiankun also said with great curiosity:

"When a solid object is struck, it usually makes a sound, but it's really strange that this vine has grown so fast in such a short time!"

"Right? Isn't that strange?" Yan Furui said excitedly.

Wang Qiankun frowned and forced an explanation:

"But there must be a reason. For example, radiation, or some kind of mineral or something underground that has caused a chemical reaction in the last two years!"

"Anyway, you still don't believe me, right? You just wait!" Yan Furui said, turning around and picking up the chainsaw.

The sound of a chainsaw suddenly rang out, and Wang Qiankun instinctively stepped back and asked, "What are you doing? What are you going to do with a chainsaw again?"

"Zzzzzzz~!" Yan Furui took the chainsaw and started cutting a thick vine.

As the chainsaw cut, the vine wounds left behind a large amount of tissue fluid.

“Look at this, is this normal? It’s all over the ground, do you think this is normal?” Yan Furui said excitedly.

Wang Qiankun persisted in his opinion, saying, "Isn't this just green sap? All plants have chlorophyll, so it's not surprising that leaves are green!"

"The balsam flowers that ladies in ancient times used to dye their nails were red even when crushed. Are you saying that the flowers bleed?"
"Of course, some writers would use this analogy; it's a romantic rhetoric!" Wang Qiankun became more and more confident as he spoke.

"Haha!" Lin Hao, who was above the pit, couldn't help but laugh when he heard their conversation. Perhaps it was because he came from the Suspended Gate, but he felt that Wang Qiankun treated science as a religious belief.

It may seem like a belief in something regrettable, but in essence it's still the same old religious doctrine.

At this moment, Lin Hao noticed Si Teng's strange behavior. Her face was ashen as she stood in the open space surrounded by broken vines, coldly staring at the drooping vines around her.

At this moment, Lin Hao remembered that the vines below looked like Si Teng's hair, that is, a strand of hair that had been cut off.

After Sito was resurrected, this strand of hair also revived and sprouted, which led to the situation where the entire courtyard was filled with flowers overnight.

At this moment, the rope ladder placed at the entrance of the cave began to sway, and the people below were clearly climbing up.

"It seems that being cultured isn't necessarily a good thing!"

"Alright, alright, report this to the relevant authorities right away. Who knows, you might have discovered some ancient artifacts. Stop letting your mind wander like this every day!"

"Wafang is still young. Being influenced by you like this all the time is very bad for his growth and development!"

"Why did I invite you here?"

"Didn't you say this place was going to be demolished? Good thing it's demolished! You should move to a normal place as soon as possible. Staying here for too long can easily make you paranoid."

"Shut up!" Yan Furui roared. He was furious. No matter what he said, this person from the Xuanmen sect of Changming Academy wouldn't believe him. What could he do?
Then, Yan Furui climbed up the rope ladder, followed closely by Wang Qiankun!

After the two climbed out of the hole, neither of them noticed that there were two more people beside them. They were just busy brushing the dust off their bodies.

At this moment, Si Teng suddenly asked Yan Furui, "You must be Qiu Shan's apprentice!"

"Yes!" Upon hearing someone mention Qiu Shan, Yan Furui instinctively responded. After recognizing the person, he paused, then asked curiously:

"What brings you here? Do you need something from me?"

Si Teng shook his head, saying with some disappointment:

"Qiu Shan is really something else. I wasn't even born in Cangcheng Mountain, yet he's dug up my roots!"

"What do you mean?" Wang Qiankun asked, puzzled.

Yan Furui was also taken aback, completely failing to connect Si Teng with the situation before him. After a moment of confusion, he cautiously asked her:

"You're saying my master dug up your ancestors' graves? You can't just say things like that!"

Si Teng sneered.

For some inexplicable reason, Yan Furui went to see Wang Qiankun again.

"Clap clap clap!" Wang Qiankun clapped his hands, sneered, and said to Yan Furui, "Wonderful, wonderful, Teacher Yan, was it fun?"

"I see now. You guys were all in cahoots tonight. No wonder I saw those two as soon as I ran upstairs!"

"Hmph, oh, you've even gotten all the clothes ready, putting on a show for me in a cheongsam, huh!"

"I'm telling you guys, you're all so young and perfectly capable, why did you have to do something like this – a group scam!"

Si Teng's face darkened, and he said coldly, "This person is really too noisy!"

Wang Qiankun asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
