The mist is like a veil wrapped around the mountainside, appearing and disappearing, giving people a hazy and mysterious feeling.
In the mountains and forests, towering ancient trees with lush branches and leaves cover the sky and the sun.
Occasionally, a few birdsong penetrated the silence of the forest, which was clear and sweet.
The gurgling stream, the sound of water accompanied by the breeze in the mountains, seems to be telling ancient stories.
The stones are covered with moss, which has gone through many vicissitudes of life, but is still full of vitality. By the stream, wild flowers sway in the wind, exuding a faint fragrance.
The mountain trails are winding and winding, like a secret path leading to a mysterious place.
From time to time, squirrels jumped between the branches and peered curiously around.
Follow the trail to the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain, there is a stone gate standing.
On both sides of the stone gate, pine trees are tall and tall, with moss covering their thick trunks, which seem to tell the vicissitudes of time.
The wind passed through the pine forest, making a rustling sound, as if there was a low voice.
An old man was sitting not far away, with a stone bench, a stone table, and a pot of tea.
There was a chessboard on the stone table, and the old man was playing chess with himself as if there was no one around.
The white hair is fluttering, and the brows are sometimes lightly frowned and sometimes relaxed.
The proximity of Chen Muyu and the two men did not seem to affect him.
"Ahem."
Chen Muyu coughed lightly.
At this time, the old man suddenly came back to his senses and looked over here.
"Two fellow Taoists, wait a moment."
The old man said something and continued to play chess.
Oh.
Chen Muyu couldn't help but want to laugh, this old man is really a wonderful person.
Pulled out the system and scanned it.
The old man's name is Guan Tong, he is the Supreme Elder of the Overlord Palace, and he is in the eight-star perfection state.
It’s true, you can encounter the Eight Star Realm wherever you go.
In the past, the powerful Eight Star Realm experts who could not be found all over Central Continent were now found everywhere.
He didn't bother this person. He could still afford to wait for this little time.
He and Lingqiao just stood there, waiting quietly.
The old man was minding his own game of chess, and Chen Muyu did not say anything about going up to play chess with him.
He just plays with himself, sometimes playing black chess, sometimes playing white chess.
Lingqiao said, "If he does this by himself, how long will it take for him to do it?"
Chen Muyu just smiled slightly and said nothing.
It's just a game of chess. No matter how long you play, it will eventually end.
This wait lasts a whole day.
From day to night, and from night to day.
Just when Chen Muyu became impatient, it was finally over.
draw.
Chen Muyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I've been waiting for you all day and all night, and you just gave me a draw.
At this time, the old man walked towards them.
"Two fellow Taoists, I've been waiting for a long time."
The old man bowed his hands to the two of them.
Lingqiao raised his eyebrows, "Does Fellow Taoist know our origins?"
It's really too dramatic for a being from the Eight Star Realm to guard the gate here. It's obvious that he has a purpose.
Most likely I was waiting for them here early in the morning.
The old man did not deny it, "The old man is the Supreme Elder of Bawang Palace. The day before yesterday, I heard from my tutor that a powerful man is coming to my Bawang Palace. He may bring disaster to my Bawang Palace. Let me wait here.
, and find a way to stop it for one day."
Hearing this, Chen Muyu's face twitched slightly.
So, you just thought of a way to let me watch you play chess for a day?
What an old clever guy.
"Disaster? It won't happen, right?"
Chen Muyu shook his head, "I am here to ask for your favor, but I am not an unreasonable person. How can I bring any disaster to your palace?"
"Then I don't know."
Guan Tong shook his head, "I will do whatever the master tells me. The master needs one day to set up the formation, so my current task is completed."
"You are quite candid."
Chen Muyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Take me to see your wise master."
Guan Tong gave Chen Muyu a strange look. He originally thought that Chen Muyu would become angry and attack him directly.
I never expected that the other party was not only not angry, but also so kind.
"good."
Guan Tong responded and immediately walked to the stone door next to him.
"Husband, be careful."
Ling Qing quickly reminded.
The other party has already said that they have set up a formation, which is obviously used to deal with Chen Muyu.
If Chen Muyu ran inside even though he knew it well, wouldn't he be throwing himself into a trap?
"It doesn't matter."
Chen Muyu didn't care at all.
Things like formations and barriers are completely insignificant to him.
It's not that he's too big, it's just that he's very capable.
Ling Qiao naturally had nothing to say and followed Chen Muyu into the portal.
Buzz!
Shimen opened the teleportation, and in an instant, the scene in front of him changed.
What appeared in front of Chen Muyu was a large mountain surrounded by mist.
Amidst the clouds and mist, the fairy mountain is as illusory as a dream, as if it is a hidden fairyland between heaven and earth.
On the top of the mountains, palaces are scattered in an orderly manner, with their cornices looming in the clouds and mist, just like a fairyland.
The mountain path winds up, and every step you take is in this thin layer of mist, accompanied by the harmonious singing of pines and clear springs.
The ancient trees on the mountainside have lush branches and luxuriant leaves, covering the vaguely visible stone steps. Each step looks simple and quiet.
As you go up the stairs, you can occasionally see sect disciples flying back and forth.
When the breeze passes by, the mist is gently blown away, revealing pieces of glazed tiles, shining with golden light under the sunlight.
The splendid palace door was ajar, and the stone lions on both sides of the door were carved lifelike, as if they would jump out at any time.
Under the leadership of Guan Tong, the two came to the tall main hall.
Walking into the palace, sandalwood scent hits your nose, rows of lanterns are hung high, and the warm yellow light and dim light interweave to create a mysterious atmosphere.
The patterns of exotic animals painted on the carved beams and painted pillars are so vivid that they seem to come alive at any time.
A pair of eyes seemed to be watching the two intruders, solemnly and in awe.
Sitting on the throne in front is a young man.
The young man wore a crown and his face was as sinking as water, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Chen Muyu immediately pulled out the system scan.
Ji Wuju, the nine-star perfect state.
It’s true, eight stars and nine stars are really possible to see at any time now.
"Chen Muyu has met Taoist friend."
Chen Muyu stepped forward and bowed his hand to the man politely.
"Fellow Taoist, you are so polite."
The man spoke slowly, his eyes swept across Chen Muyu's body, and finally landed on Ling Qingqiao, "Fellow Taoist, you have the aura of an old friend in you."
Old friend?
Presumably, he got to know Concubine Ming.
Lingqiao was stunned for a moment, and the next second, Concubine Ming took over control of her body.
"Fellow Daoist Ji, I didn't expect that you are still alive." Concubine Ming said calmly.
But it was obvious that he was not calm, and she also knew this person.
