Chapter 269 Three Gods Valley!
The next day, early in the morning.

Lin Yan threw over the improved Yingxi sword technique which was more suitable for Zhou Yun.

"Now that we are at Yanshou Pure Land, it is time for us to pay our respects to the Great Guardian out of courtesy."

Lin Yan looked at Zhou Yun and said, "I'm going to improve your swordsmanship for you without your master's permission. I should have informed him... You lead the way, and I'll go and say goodbye to him."

"Just go."

Mr. Lu came out from another room, his expression becoming increasingly strange. He said with a smile, "He probably doesn't want to see you very much."

"why?"

Lin Yan frowned slightly.

Zhou Yun scratched his head and whispered, "The Grand Administrator was ill this morning and refused to see any guests... He said that the guests had left Yanshou Pure Land, so there was no need to inform him."

"sick?"

Lin Yan looked strange.

If one practices to the level of inner strength and exercises control over the internal organs, one can be free from all diseases.

As for those who have reached the Refining Essence Stage, their vitality is extremely strong and they can continue to be reborn even if their arms are cut off.

When one reaches the Qi Refining Stage, with true Qi in the body, it is more difficult for evil Qi to invade.

For the Qi Refining Stage, there is only one kind of symptom, which is the influence of the alien true Qi in the body.

However, the other party was able to borrow the talismans from the large pure land, and had treasures from the holy land, which possessed the power to refine the spirit.

Such a person guards a large pure land and holds a high position of power. If there are signs that the situation is about to get out of control, neither the Holy Land nor the Qifeng Mansion will be so peaceful.

Especially Mr. Lu's attitude, which is enough to prove that this great defender is not out of control at the moment.

Then this so-called "disease" is, in all likelihood, just an excuse.

"Mr. Lu went to visit Da Shouzheng at his residence last night. After he returned, he claimed to be ill and avoided meeting him. Why is that?"

Lin Yan tilted his head to look, and felt that Mr. Lu had a strange expression. He frowned and asked, "Old man, did you have a quarrel with him last night?"

"..."

Mr. Lu coughed and said, "It's a bit unpleasant, but fortunately it's done, so it doesn't matter... I said goodbye to him last night, and we have completed the formalities. Now we are leaving."

-

People from all walks of life received improvements from Wuchang, which made their knife-wielding methods more suitable for them, and they were all grateful.

Only Han Liuzhen, the new deputy governor of Yanshou Pure Land, looked quite dissatisfied.

His original intention was to have a battle with Wuchang with open swords and guns. Even if he lost, it would be considered as getting what he wanted.

I didn't expect to be defeated twice in a row, both times by surprise attacks. It's such a shame.

But he didn't dare to continue to step forward and provoke.

This Fifth Master is notorious for his viciousness. The other party showed mercy to him last night. If he decides to kill him today, wouldn't he lose his life in vain?

"It would have been fine if he had just knocked me down head-on... He could have clearly defeated me, but he had to use two sneak attacks. I really can't accept that."

Han Liuzhen gritted his teeth and tilted his head to ask, "This Fifth Master is Han Zheng's disciple, why didn't anyone tell me?"

"You were confined for half a year, and as soon as you came out you were sent to this longevity pure land."

The young general named Shi Wen whispered, "We only heard about the great reputation of this Fifth Master during our trip. We know that he has a strong record in battle, but we didn't deliberately try to find out his background."

"Although he is very famous in Qifeng Mansion, he is only known as 'Inspector of Impermanence' and usually not directly called 'Disciple of So-and-so'."

"After all, Han Zheng is not Li Shenzong. Without proactive inquiry, who would know that he is Han Zheng's disciple?"

After a pause, General Shi Wen continued, "However, logically speaking, a figure like Fifth Master is related to the Han family, but the old patriarch of the Han family didn't use him to make a fuss and use his name to make a big splash?"

Han Liuzhen was surprised when he heard this: "Yes, Han Zheng is a member of our family after all. Since he is his disciple, he is also a descendant of our Han family. How could the old man not try to establish such a relationship? This is not like his style..."

Then the two of them looked at each other and vaguely understood something.

"Could it be that the old guy doesn't dare to establish such a relationship?"

Han Liuzhen hesitated and said, "That kid attacked me ruthlessly when he saw me... Was there some other reason why Han Zheng was demoted?"

The young general named Shi Wen did not dare to say much. He just coughed lightly and whispered, "Back then, I was young and did not know the inner workings of the family."

Even if he knew, he didn't dare to say more.

Although he was cultivated by the Han family and had made great achievements in his cultivation, he also used the Han family's connections to take the position of deputy commander of the Qifeng City Guard.

But after all, he is not a Han.

"After you return to Qifeng City, please investigate the details for me."

Han Liuzhen pondered and said, "Han Zheng's disciples are so outstanding. The old man dare not raise this banner. He must feel guilty!"

Shi Wen whispered, “I heard that back then, when it came to Emperor Shenzong Li, the Han family didn’t dare to protect him.”

Han Liuzhen thought for a moment and said, "Li Shenzong had already made a name for himself back then, and the old man didn't dare to protect him, which was in line with his style! But with the old man's face, if he just didn't come forward to protect Han Zheng, then he would still go to Han Zheng today to build a relationship and get closer to Wuchang..."

General Shi Wen showed a surprised look and said, "You mean that the old patriarch not only did not protect Han Zheng, but also might have taken advantage of his misfortune and completely severed the relationship in order to curry favor with Emperor Li Shenzong?"

"The year Han Zheng was demoted, I went to the Holy Land."

Han Liuzhen thought for a moment and said, "But not long after I went to the Holy Land, I heard that the Holy Lord praised Emperor Li Shenzong! It was probably because of this praise that the old man weighed the pros and cons and did something..."

He thought for a moment and said, "If it was just Han Zheng, it would be fine. But now that Wuchang has appeared in his sect, he is quite unhappy with the Han family. We have to find a way to solve it... Even if we can't let him get close to the Han family, we can't be hostile to him."

-

at the same time.

The highest point of the Pure Land of Longevity.

Da Shouzheng’s residence, on the third floor.

I saw Da Shouzheng looking into the distance quietly.

There was a carriage over there, driving out of the Yanshou Pure Land.

Next to the carriage, a figure riding a dragon-scale horse was leading the way.

"They're gone."

Da Shouzheng patted his clothes and said, "Have the two letters written by me been sent out?"

"According to your instructions, one letter was given to the people in Qifeng City, and one letter was given to the people in Fengcheng Tianshi."

A middle-aged man behind him whispered, "Da Shouzheng is highly valued by the higher-ups, but some things may work once, but will annoy people if you do them twice! You mobilized troops and food this time, so next time if you need it, it will be difficult to ask..."

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Favors become more and more worthless the more you use them... Why do you want to get involved in the affairs of the Three Gods Valley?"

"Because I have always disliked the Three Gods Valley for a long time!"

After the Great Guardian said this, he added: "As for the favors from above, I am willing to use them in exchange for their favors."

The middle-aged man said, "This Wuchang has no relationship with our Yanshou Pure Land."

Da Shouzheng smiled and said, "After this time, we will have a friendship."

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then asked, "Aren't you afraid that he is Jie Jin?"

Da Shouzheng said calmly: "Brother Lu's vision is better than mine. He can think so highly of the other person. This person will not be Jie Jin... As for whether he will become Jie Jin in the future, no one can say. Even if it is me, how dare I say that I will not lose control in the strange night?"

He put his hands behind his back and said slowly: "Li Shenzong was much stronger than me back then, and this person is much stronger than Li Shenzong back then! The human race has such a genius, and I should do my best to help him, which is only natural!" After a pause, Da Shouzheng sighed and said: "If such a genius is a robbery, or a rebirth of a strange creature, then... at least in the next generation, the hope of the human race will be extremely slim."

"Fortunately, he was born among the human race and cares about the overall interests of the human race."

"I agreed to Brother Lu's request last night not because he defeated me, nor because he showed a more outstanding talent."

"But he is willing to instruct the warriors of the human race."

Da Shouzheng laughed and said, "If he is a person who only cares about himself and regards other human warriors as ants! In the future, he is very likely to betray the human race..."

The middle-aged man couldn't help but ask: "So what now?"

Da Shouzheng turned around and went downstairs, saying, "In his heart, he still has the weight of other human races. I dare not say that he will not change in the future, but I really admire him today."

The middle-aged man was puzzled and whispered, "You just met him once? How could you rate him so highly?"

"The previous Grand Guardian of our Yanshou Pure Land only met me twice."

The Great Guardian spoke calmly, "During the fierce battle, I was trapped in a siege, 120 miles away from here! The previous Great Guardian knew that I would not be able to possess the power of refining the spirit if I left the Pure Land of Longevity, but he still went to save me..."

After a pause, Da Shouzheng sighed, "That old man used his own life to exchange for mine! I also found it incredible at the time, but seeing Wuchang today... I think I felt the same way as that old man did when he saw me back then."

At this point, Da Shouzheng waved his hand and said, "Just watch over here, I'll go to the back mountain for a walk."

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Didn't we just go to the back mountain the day before yesterday?"

"It's getting colder these past two days. I'm afraid the seeds will freeze to death."

Da Shouzheng said softly with anticipation in his tone: "Those seeds are the food I recently cultivated. If they can survive the winter, they can fill a huge gap in the human race's food supply."

-

The carriage moved on.

The dragon-scaled horse is in front.

Lin Yan was sensing the newly learned Yingxi Sword, and couldn't help but ponder: "Yingxi Sword is a sword technique that I learned from the talisman in Yanshou Pure Land... This talisman is a sword?"

"No." Mr. Lu replied.

"Not a knife?" Lin Yan was a little surprised.

"It's a pen." Mr. Lu thought for a moment and said, "But this pen is about the same size as the pillar in Liuzun Temple..."

"This is simply not a pen that a human can control." Lin Lei couldn't help but say.

"This is not a pen that can be controlled by humans." said Mr. Lu.

"He learned the sword skills from a pen?" Lu Tang's expression froze and he looked confused.

"There is a deep gap on this pen, it is almost cut off." Lu Gong said: "According to the judgment of the great guardians of the past dynasties, the owner of this pen should have used it to resist a powerful enemy..."

"That powerful enemy used a knife?" Lin Yan couldn't help but ask when he heard this.

"The great guardians of the past all mastered the sword technique." Lu Gong said, "It can be basically concluded that it was a knife mark..."

"One knife mark, if the later generations can understand three points, then it is such a powerful sword technique?"

Lin Yan clenched the hilt of the knife in his hand, thinking to himself: "The old gods were so powerful that it is unimaginable!"

As they thought about this, the group moved forward.

Until evening.

The Three Gods Valley is almost here.

With a whoosh!
Suddenly there was a sound of breaking air.

An arrow was shot in front of the dragon-scale horse, about ten feet away.

"Ok?"

Lin Yan pulled the reins, stopped the dragon-scale horse, and looked into the distance.

On a small hill not far away, there were more than twenty warriors, holding bows and arrows and with short swords on their waists.

He drew his bow and pointed the arrow at Lin Yan and his group.

"This arrow was shot about ten feet in front of us, it's trying to drive us away!"

Lord Lu's voice came from the carriage: "If you don't retreat, they will kill people."

Lin Yan glanced at the arrow and said calmly, "This arrow has a range of 800 steps."

"Their cultivation levels don't seem to be very high. The highest is at the peak of Inner Strength, but none of them is at the Refining Essence stage."

"One arrow can shoot 800 steps. The bows in their hands can shoot farther and more accurately than the bows in Gaoliu City."

Following Lin Yan's words, Lu Tang couldn't help but be surprised: "Since there are bows like this in Qifeng Mansion and they can be mass-produced, why aren't they equipped to the city's defense troops?"

"They are from the Three Gods Valley."

Lord Lu said slowly: "Unlike Yanshou Pure Land, they are not under the jurisdiction of Qifeng Mansion. They are independent and isolated from the outside world!"

After a pause, Lord Lu continued, "Thousands of years ago, a powerful human imitated the ancient divine bow and made a new bow... It is in the Three Gods Valley!"

This trip leaves Gaoliu Castle.

The first is to capture Zhuoling Gong.

Secondly, it is for the sake of the Holy Lord.

And this magic bow in the Three Gods Valley may be related to the attack on the Holy Lord that year.

"They seem to want to kill us."

Lu Tang raised his head and said thoughtfully: "Shall we do it?"

Mr. Lu shook his head and said, "Don't alert the enemy. Wait until night falls. Change the direction and go around it."

Lin Yan had no objection and immediately turned his horse around and headed to the other side.

Lu Tang drove the carriage and followed behind.

The hunters on the mountain all breathed a sigh of relief.

Then two people were left to guard, and the rest turned around and left.

They came down from the other side of the hill and walked upstream along the river.

At this moment, people upstream are beating drums and gongs.

Many human beings were delighted.

They had red silk on their heads and green cloth around their waists.

They shouted loudly, appearing to be extremely happy.

And on the river bank, there was a huge bamboo raft with red silk tied on all four sides.

There were six boys and six girls sitting on it, a total of twelve people.

They were about three or five years old, dressed quite delicately, well-dressed, and very well-behaved.

The twelve children did not cry or make a fuss. They sat on the bamboo raft and seemed a little nervous and uneasy.

But not because of fear, but because of...joy!
Their parents, dressed very formally in red robes, were surrounded by a crowd of people, with their hands raised high, cheering loudly on the shore!
"Sacrifice to the gods!"
