Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 429: Huangquan Change
Under the night.

The ghost land of Huangquan is dead silent.

The Yellow Spring water, which can corrode flesh and blood, flowed down layer by layer without making any sound. Above the Yellow Spring Ghost Land, there were still scholars sitting in the Wen Pavilion, even though no evil ghosts had walked out of the Yellow Spring Ghost Land since Feng Sheng led 100,000 evil spirits to clear the netherworld.

But the Wanli Changting was still not removed.

The scholars guarding the Wenting Pavilion also performed their duties conscientiously and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

Although the evil spirits in the underworld have been cleared, countless evil spirits are hidden in the mysterious and unknown underworld.

Who knows when they will make a comeback?
Sitting in a literary pavilion is lonely and boring, and not being able to leave at will is a huge test for countless literati, especially young ones.

Some people are uneasy because of loneliness, some people are lost because of loneliness, some people are depraved because of loneliness, and some people lose themselves because of loneliness. However, loneliness only makes empty people lonely, shallow people impetuous, but makes wise people profound.

Only if you can endure loneliness can you have inner peace and remain unmoved by praise or criticism.

Don't be confused by external things.

Only if you can endure loneliness can you concentrate on your task without distractions.

Only then can we keep our original intention in mind.

All the great sages in this world are people who can endure loneliness, resist temptation, and maintain prosperity.

Many scholars gained a lot from the holy way after returning from the Long Pavilion.

Some people soar into the sky.

Therefore, countless literati would bring a pile of books and the four treasures of the study when they sat in the Wenting.

Rumbling--

The heaven and earth suddenly shook.

Many scholars who were reading books put down their books with a change of expression and looked around with vigilance. At this time, many scholars found that the source of the turmoil seemed to be the Yellow Spring Ghost Land, and their expressions immediately became solemn.

Could it be that a "taboo" has emerged from the underworld?
This shocked them.

"What happened?"

Many of the scholars sitting in the Wenting were shocked.

At this time, everyone discovered that the turbulence in the Yellow Springs Ghost Land was becoming more and more intense, as if there was a terrifying existence under the Yellow Springs Ghost Land that was about to struggle out.

"Oh no, something has happened in the Yellow Springs Ghost Land!"

A scholar said loudly.

In the first city.

One after another terrifying figures shot out from the Ghost Suppression Hall and quickly arrived on the north city wall.

Rumble!
The heaven and earth were shaking.

This made all the scholars guarding the Wanli Changting terrified.

At this time, the great sage guarding the First City immediately flew down to the underworld to investigate what had happened. However, they only found that the heaven and earth were turbulent, and it seemed that they did not find anything else.

This gave them some relief.

But after I breathed a sigh of relief, I started to feel a little worried.

Failure to detect the problem does not mean that there is no problem, but that with their strength, they cannot even find the problem...

This means that it may be a "taboo".

Could it be that the third taboo has emerged from the underworld?
This made many people's faces change drastically.

"But what did you find out?"

On the north wall, many scholars asked anxiously, feeling extremely worried. At this time, nearly half a minute had passed, and the shaking still hadn't stopped.

Fortunately, the unrest did not intensify, nor did it cause a catastrophe.

"No."

A great sage shook his head, hesitated for a moment and said: "Perhaps it was just a normal earthquake, not the appearance of the third taboo."

"This can't be an earthquake."

A great sage immediately denied it, saying that the shock before their eyes was so strange that it was impossible to understand.

"It certainly doesn't look like an earthquake." Yi You Daxian nodded in agreement, frowned and examined the Yellow Spring Ghost Land, then flew up into the night sky and looked down at the Yellow Spring Ghost Land below. After a moment, he was stunned, wondering if he had seen it wrong. "Brother Chen, come up and take a look."

He hesitated for a moment, then called up another great sage.

Upon hearing this, the great sage surnamed Chen immediately flew up into the night sky and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"look."

The great sage pointed to the Yellow Springs ghost tunnel below.

The great man surnamed Chen looked carefully, frowning, but he didn't find anything. But after a few breaths, he showed some surprise in his eyes and asked, "What is this?"

"The Yellow Springs Ghost Land seems to have shrunk."

The great sage said.

“It does seem to have shrunk.”

The great man surnamed Chen said solemnly, because the shrinkage is not very obvious, it is not possible to see it at a glance. However, as long as you stay in the Yellow Spring Ghost Land for a long time, you will definitely be able to notice it.

At this time, the great sage named Chen confirmed again and again that it seemed that the Yellow Springs ghost land had indeed shrunk.

About two moments later, the vibration slowly stopped.

This made the literati guarding the Wanli Changting breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing happened.

And several other great sages, including the great sage surnamed Chen, immediately flew down from the night and came to a certain pavilion outside the First City. They looked at the pavilion opposite, which was a mile away, and the great sage surnamed Chen immediately walked over, walked straight to the pavilion opposite, and said in shock: "Two hundred and ninety steps."

"Two hundred and ninety steps?"

When the other great sages heard this, they were all shocked.

“It’s shortened by ten steps?”

At this time, a great sage could not believe it, so he went to measure it himself, and the result was still 290 steps.

The distance between the two literary pavilions was shortened by ten steps.

After a while, several great sages rushed to other pavilions and measured the distances. The result was that some were 295 steps, some were 297 steps, and some were unchanged...

But the final result is that the Yellow Springs Ghost Land has shrunk.

In the Qingshan City God's Mansion, tens of thousands of miles away from the Yellow Springs Ghost Land, Feng Qingyan was examining the Ghost Gate behind him through the City God's golden body.

Soon after, he closed the ghost door and examined the black pottery flowerpot.

Before daybreak.

Tu Yang hurriedly asked for a meeting and reported the news that the Yellow Spring Ghost Land had shrunk, which surprised Feng Qingyan. He then asked, "Can you find out the reason why the Yellow Spring Ghost Land has shrunk?"

"No."

Tuyang shook his head.

"How long has the Yellow Springs Ghost Land been shaking?" Feng Qingyan asked after a moment's hesitation.

"Less than three quarters of an hour." Tuyang said.

Feng Qingyan nodded and asked, "Any other news?"

At this time, Tu Yang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Master, about half a month ago, a woman in red came to Zangshan Academy and said, 'You are here'..."

Feng Qingyan was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Maybe other people didn't know who the woman in red was, but how could he not know? Miss Yaoyao actually left the Netherworld and went to Zangshan Academy to look for him?

Did something happen in the Netherworld?
At this moment, his expression suddenly changed. Perhaps the tremors in the Yellow Springs Ghost Land were related to Miss Yaoyao's search for him. If there was no important matter, Miss Yaoyao would never leave the Netherworld, let alone go to look for him...

"I see."

Feng Qingyan said lightly.

But what surprised him was that Tuyang had vaguely guessed that the woman in red was looking for him. Not long after Tuyang left, he walked out of the City God's Mansion, and when he walked out of Qingshan Territory, he changed his name to Fenghui and headed north.

He needs to go to the underworld.

One is to find out the reason for the shaking of the Yellow Spring Ghost Land, and the other is to see why Miss Yaoyao is looking for him.
