Because the toxins in Gu Ying's body had not been completely removed and she was unable to move, Li Nanke could only carry her on his back and escape into the forest to the west.
On the way, Gu Ying told about the Yin and Yang Forbidden Land.
The Yin-Yang Wuque Sect and Linggu belong to the same lineage. Later, due to factional conflicts, the two families became sworn enemies who never interacted with each other.
The "Dao Wuqing" practiced by the leader of Linggu originated from the Yin and Yang Wuque Sect - to be precise, it is a technique obtained from the Yin and Yang Forbidden Land.
As for the origin of the forbidden area, it can be traced back to the time when the red rain fell.
In the sixth year of Tianwu, red rain came.
Before the imperial court confiscated a large amount of Hongyu, many sects secretly began to study Hongyu, among which was the Yin Yang Wuque sect.
The Yin and Yang Forbidden Land appeared from that time.
Every year, the Yin-Yang Wuque Sect recruits new disciples. Once they meet the conditions, they will enter the forbidden area for trial to see if they can be blessed by chance.
Some people can obtain magic weapons, and some people can obtain exercises...
But such lucky people are very few.
Because few people can come out alive after entering, it is a real narrow escape. Even if someone can come out alive, there is nothing gained.
After that, the imperial court began to confiscate Hongyu and launched a large-scale investigation into various sects.
The Yin-Yang Gate is also among them.
At that time, there was speculation that the Yin and Yang Forbidden Land, which might be involved in Hongyu, would be closed down by the court.
But the strange thing is that after the Tiangang Disha sent by the imperial court investigated the sect, there was no movement. The Yin Yang Wuque sect continued to recruit new disciples normally after that, and nothing changed.
There are only two explanations for such a signal.
Either the Yin Yang Forbidden Land has nothing to do with Hongyu, so the court ignored it.
Or, the imperial court has secretly used it as a place for experimentation.
When Li Nanke heard this, he already had the answer in his heart.
It can be seen from the Phoenix Mountain incident and Hecun that the imperial court had secretly controlled many areas related to Hongyu.
There is a night patrol outside to maintain order.
There is Tiangang Disha inside to conduct research on the red rain.
No matter how powerful the Yin Yang Wu Que Sect is, it cannot escape the control of the imperial court and can only be controlled obediently.
The monster's voice gradually faded away, and Li Nanke, who was running away with the woman on his back, found himself running into a lush bamboo forest.
There is also a cobblestone path in the bamboo forest that leads to a deep place.
Li Nanke kept walking along the path, and soon a small courtyard appeared in his sight.
There is a tall bamboo in the yard, with tangled and overlapping branches at the top.
There is also a bamboo house.
The bamboo house is exquisite and small, with green vines hanging from the eaves, making it quite elegant.
"What the hell is this place?"
Li Nanke was wary.
"Go in first."
But when Gu Ying saw this small bamboo house courtyard, her beautiful eyes lit up slightly and she whispered.
Li Nanke carried her into the bamboo house.
The furniture in the room is all made of bamboo, and the beds, tables, chairs and other items all exude the unique smell of bamboo.
The tables and chairs are also covered with bamboo strips.
The whole room looks more primitive and natural.
Li Nanke put Gu Ying on the bed and frowned: "It seems like there are people living in this house all the time. There is no dust at all."
However, Gu Ying changed the topic and returned to the original conversation with the man, "The monster that attacked me just now was originally an elder from the Yin Yang Wuque Sect. He only turned into a monster after entering the forbidden area."
"So people who enter the Yin and Yang Forbidden Land may not necessarily die, but may become monsters."
Li Nanke thought about the monster just now.
No wonder the opponent was wearing a sect robe and the aura he exuded was different from other monsters he had seen.
"The Yin and Yang Forbidden Land is different from other Red Rain Dreams. It is an area that merges with the real world. Both dreamers and ordinary people can enter -"
Gu Ying wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Li Nanke, "Why do you want to enter the forbidden land of Yin and Yang?"
Gu Ying bit her lip and sighed, "I want to find the person who insulted me two years ago. Originally, I planned to come here alone, but Qiu'er wanted to protect me, so... Anyway...
My fault."
The woman looked gloomy, full of self-blame and regret.
"That's not right. Didn't you say before that the person who insulted you is in the Yuncheng Night Patrol Department?"
Li Nanke looked suspicious and felt that the other party was lying.
Gu Ying smiled bitterly, "Yes, but I have been investigating for so long and made no progress at all. Then I remembered something. My father once said that there is a place in the Yin and Yang Forbidden Land where you can see what happened in the past."
I see.
The woman's explanation made Li Nanke suddenly realize.
He is no stranger to such magical things as "time memory retrieval".
He and the eldest princess Bai Ruyue once reviewed what happened to them in the Tianqiong Sect, which showed that Hongyu had such an ability.
"Have you found the place?"
Li Nanke asked.
Gu Ying shook her head helplessly, "No, although I know the approximate location, there are many monsters on the road. We even encountered members of Tiangang Disha."
Hearing this, Li Nanke quickly asked: "Are there two people? One is a fat woman and the other is a very thin man."
"That's right."
Gu Ying looked at him with a strange look on her face, "Do you know him?"
"Of course I know you."
Li Nanke curled his lips and roughly recounted what happened when he was being escorted.
After hearing this, Gu Ying said: "It seems that you also inadvertently broke into the forbidden land of Yin and Yang. At that time, the two people were attacked by a group of monsters. In order to protect herself, the fat woman attacked her companions and escaped."
Boy, that makes sense.
No wonder the fat woman on the boat dodges her eyes when talking about her companion Wen Jiu, and she still holds Wen Jiu's magical weapon in her hand. It turns out that she survived by being mean.
"By the way, when I came to Yin Yang Wu Que Sect, I found that all the members of the sect had been silenced. Who do you think did it?"
Li Nanke asked.
To this day, he still doesn't believe that Ye Yaoyao transformed into a female devil and slaughtered the entire sect.
Gu Ying looked at the bamboos in the courtyard through the window, thought for a moment and said: "It is most likely that Hong Yu killed him. I don't know what happened in the Yin and Yang Forbidden Land. Even the seal disappeared."
"seal?"
The man raised his eyebrows.
Gu Ying nodded, "The forbidden area has always been sealed to prevent loss of control. The seal had been destroyed when Qiu'er and I came.
The current forbidden area is very unstable and has begun to affect the outside world, otherwise you would not have been suddenly involved halfway."
The woman's words completely cleared up the man's doubts.
The seal of the forbidden area disappears, causing the outside world to be affected.
Even the monster ballad girl can appear in the real world, just like Phoenix Mountain.
"Huh?"
While he was thinking about it, the man's eyes were suddenly attracted by an old painting in the corner of the room.
The scroll is somewhat incomplete and yellowed, but the characters painted on it are clearly visible.
There is a woman in the painting.
She has a graceful figure, outstanding temperament, and an air of transcendent grace all over her body.
The facial features are also extremely delicate and lifelike.
"The eldest princess?"
Li Nanke was shocked to see the familiar woman in the painting.
Why is the portrait of the princess’s wife here?
wrong!
This is not Bai Ruyue!
Although they look very similar, compared to Bai Ruyue's natural charm and nobility, the woman in the painting is more graceful and soft.
"Zhao Qingyan..."
Li Nanke saw the name in the corner of the scroll again and read it out.
Gu Ying said: "Is it Qing Fei?"
"Empress Qing Fei? The mother of the eldest princess?" Li Nanke was surprised when he heard this familiar name.
Nie Ying said that the broken-string guqin in the mysterious hut on the island was very similar to the guqin in Qingfei's palace.
At this moment, her portrait appeared again.
Could it be that the Yin Yang Wu Que Sect has anything to do with the eldest princess and her mother-in-law?
