The Holy Land Trial is held every ten years, and a disciple can participate in it at most twice in his lifetime. However, if he or she can get into the top three in the previous trial, he or she cannot participate in the second time.

This is to give more opportunities to other disciples who come later.

However, the top three disciples will not be at a disadvantage either, as they can receive generous rewards from the holy land.

Zhao Kangping judged that the sand table model should have been replaced after the last holy land trial.

He recalled the holy land trial in the original book. Because Luo Xueqing was not in the holy land, the trial process was not described in detail, but was only mentioned in a few sentences.

But judging from the results, nothing unusual seemed to have happened during this trial.

But that's not right. Then what did they discover along the way?

He felt his mind was in a mess.

He began to sort out his thoughts little by little.

Many doubts arose in his mind.

First, who did all this?

Regarding this point, Zhao Kangping first suspected Wu Sangyan’s accomplices in the holy land, and there must be more than one person.

The most suspicious ones are those disciples who were poisoned by her.

When the Gu worm crisis first broke out, the Holy Land had already conducted an investigation and found that all those infected were disciples, primarily outer disciples, with only a few frustrated inner disciples. None of the infected were elders.

The tampering in the Trial Valley must have happened after the last trial. Immediately after it ended, the Holy Land would send several inner sect elders and disciples to clean up the mess.

He didn't believe it was such a coincidence that all the inner disciples who went in to clean up the mess last time were Wu Sangyan's men.

The inner sect elders who accompanied them were all very powerful and would definitely not allow the ghosts below to cause trouble under their noses.

Unless those elders are also ghosts.

If that's the case, it would be terrible.

Those who were responsible for the aftermath last time must investigate everything.

He actually forgot to tell his senior sister about these speculations.

As long as my senior sister knew about it, she would definitely find a way to send someone to investigate.

But there are too many people involved. Where should we start the investigation in such a short time?

It's simply too late.

But to be on the safe side, he told his senior sister about these ideas.

The second is what is their purpose?

If they wanted to disrupt the Holy Land Trial and embarrass the Holy Land in front of its many affiliated sects, it would probably only make the Zi Yang Holy Land pay more attention to those troublemakers.

In this way, those in the dark will definitely not be able to escape the wrath of the Holy Land.

As for their purpose, Zhao Kangping still has no idea about it. He has no idea what the people who did these things want to do.

There were other problems that also troubled him.

For example, are these people who are secretly doing evil still hiding in the holy land?

For example, where did the missing sand table model go?

Mengyao will also participate in this holy land trial, and he is worried that something might happen to this girl.

"Master, you said this thing is fake. How is that possible?" Luo Xueqing asked worriedly.

Zhao Kangping collected his scattered thoughts, gathered his thoughts, and said with a roll of his eyes, "I think the breakthrough point might be this swapped sandbox."

The sandbox is the controller of this secret realm. It cannot leave the secret realm too far, otherwise it will be useless.

Those troublemakers stole the sand table, definitely intending to use it to manipulate the terrain changes in the secret realm.

"Come with me, the sand table model may still be near the valley." Zhao Kangping walked out hurriedly.

After he walked some distance out of the tower with Luo Xueqing, he stopped and said to Zhao Kangping, "There must be something wrong with one of the disciples guarding the tower."

"Ah?" Luo Xueqing was a little confused. She just thought that the stationed disciples were very polite and didn't notice anything.

"Anyway, I've already told my senior sister, and someone should come to talk to them soon."

Next to the tower is the entrance to the secret realm, and this is the only place where the records of entry and exit are kept. However, one page is missing, so the most likely case is embezzlement by the insider.

Their immediate task was to find the stolen sand table. If they could retrieve the controller for this secret realm, the plans of those thieves would surely be thwarted.

"Xueqing, where do you think the real sand table is most likely to be placed?"

"Hmm? He definitely isn't carrying it with him. Even if he put it in a storage ring, it would take up too much space. And if anyone discovered that the item had been swapped, they would definitely suspect the disciples stationed at the tower. If that were the case, it wouldn't be safe in the storage ring. I think it's probably still somewhere near the valley."

"You think the same as I do. Let's go."

The master and disciple immediately began searching the area around the valley.

They all released their spiritual sense to investigate.

After going around in a circle, they will meet in one place.

"Did you find anything?" Zhao Kangping asked.

"I found nothing. I expanded my spiritual sense to its maximum range. Maybe we guessed wrong."

Zhao Kangping stroked his chin, thinking of the person whose attainments in formation were not inferior to his at the auction in Chuanliu City.

Could it be that the aura is hidden by a formation?

He immediately took out a magical weapon that looked like a Si Nan. This thing had no other use except to check for things that could conceal the breath.

For example, invisibility talismans, magic weapons for invisibility, and formations for concealing breath.

Since there was only one magic weapon, they did not act separately this time, but acted together.

With the help of the Si Nan magic weapon, they really found clues at a cave entrance covered with dense vines.

If they didn't have magic weapons, they would probably not even notice this place when flying through the air.

"Sinan is pointing here, it should be inside." Zhao Kangping pulled away the vines covering the cave entrance, but did not go in immediately.

"Wait, the cave entrance is also protected by a formation." As a formation master, he immediately recognized that it was an isolation formation. If they didn't break it, they would definitely not be able to get in.

Fortunately, the structure of this formation was not complicated, and it took him about a quarter of an hour to crack it.

The two walked into the cave, and there was a smell of corruption and dirt mixed in.

The cave was not deep, but when they reached the end, they saw a large square iron cover on the ground.

After opening it, there is a dark underground passage below.

Needless to say, this kind of development is fraught with danger.

Maybe there are many monsters inside waiting for them with hungry stomachs, and all kinds of mechanisms and traps will greet them as soon as they enter.

"I'll go down first, you wait here." If he had not lost his cultivation, he would definitely not bother to drill into such a dark cave.

But now he is reluctant to let his wife Xueqing take risks, so he might as well take the risks himself.

But Luo Xueqing said, "I'll go down. I'm not afraid of danger."

"Don't argue. Just listen to me. If I don't come up within an hour, go and inform your uncle." As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped down.

After Zhao Kangping's breath completely disappeared, a mysterious figure appeared at the entrance of the cave.

The man pointed his finger, and the destroyed formation at the entrance of the cave was instantly repaired, and another layer of trapping formation was added.

Now, the people in the cave couldn’t even send out messages from the communication jade slips, let alone get out.

People outside would just think they were missing, but they would never be able to find them.

Even if a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage wanted to break this formation, he would still need the help of many materials, otherwise it would take more than three days to break it by force.

By then, even if Zhao Kangping broke the formation and got out, it would be too late.

Of course, the mysterious man would not allow Zhao Kangping to break the formation, as he had many other tricks hidden in it.

……

After Nangong Ruyun was sent to the small courtyard in the middle of the lake, she drove away the maids serving there on the grounds that she wanted some peace and quiet.

As a result, she was the only one left in the courtyard.

At this moment, she was dressing in front of the mirror.

Her fingers, as white as jade, slid across her fair cheeks.

"Such a beautiful face, but not much time left to live. Five hundred years of life have passed by in the blink of an eye."

The beauty in the mirror has skin as soft as a girl, the charm of a young woman, and the flavor of a mature woman.

There was no trace of old age on this beautiful face, but she felt completely dejected.

Nangong Ruyun is still beautiful, but only she knows that the cold poison has corroded her body and left it full of holes.

Although she had obtained the flower given by Lan Ruoyu to prolong her life, it was not easy to find a way to save her life in such a short time.

If she could find a solution, she would have found it long ago. There was no need to wait until today. She was extremely pessimistic about the future.

It is so difficult to find some rare treasures that are more than ten thousand years old. She has no hope of finding them.

As for finding a man with a yang constitution to practice dual cultivation with, that is even more impossible.

Even though Nangong Ruyun's life is hanging by a thread, her spirit has always been high.

But she has never been attracted to any man. Her body is still pure and has never been touched by anyone.

After the effect of the Yangyan Flower wears off, the cold poison in her body will inevitably revive again, and what awaits her will only be a more violent counterattack from the cold poison.

What can we do with the remaining time?

Probably enough for her to make her will, visit the more important people in her life, and say goodbye to them one by one.

Before leaving Xianyun Sect, she told the sect's chief elder, who was also one of her junior sisters.

If she travels for more than half a year without returning, then she must be dead, and the Great Elder will succeed her as the Sect Leader.

As for the more important relatives and friends.

Her parents, whose spiritual aptitude was mediocre, had passed away long ago. As for the rest of her family, even those who had once been close to her had turned to dust after five hundred years.

Lan Ruoyu and Zhao Kangping are the only ones in the world who have a decent relationship with her.

But after not seeing each other for a long time, the friendship between them probably faded.

She remembered that Zhao Kangping was the master of Yaohua Palace.

Why not take this opportunity to go to Yaohua Palace and have a look? After he comes out of the secret realm after the examination, she will have a good chat with him.

Then she could probably leave the Zi Yang Holy Land without any regrets and find a Feng Shui treasure land to bury her bones.

Chapter 3.3: Nangong Ruyun Wants to Live in Yaohua Palace [nd update, k]

Yaohua Palace, I haven’t been here for a long time.

The last time she came, Lan Ruoyu was still the Palace Master of Yaohua Palace, and Zhao Kangping was still a teenager.

Nangong Ruyun came to Yaohua Peak, which she had not visited for a long time.

Everything is so strange and no longer the same as it used to be.

She passed by a peach orchard.

There are a few trees that were planted by her and her disciple Lan Ruoyu in the past. They have now grown tall and majestic.

Wild grass grew all over the mountain road, almost covering the mottled stone road.

She and the child had played together here before.

They were chasing and playing here, having a lot of fun.

Lan Ruoyu also said that it was really inappropriate for her to play with children at such an old age.

Was she such a playful person when she was young?

I have to say, this technique has a huge impact on her temperament.
