Deep in the Baichuan Mountains, light and shadow flickered outside the courtyard, and Wu Ming appeared in a lush courtyard. Apex 23S.
Fastest update
Looking back, I could see Sang, Zhao and their family members, but I couldn't seem to see the inside from the outside.
"Haha, what an interesting family!"
Taking in the expressions of everyone in the Gu family, Wu Ming smiled indifferently and walked inside without looking back.
I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs running away.
Knowing that the Gu family has ulterior motives, how could they take the things given by the other party with them again?
It was like an isolated fairyland, silent and quiet. The small courtyard was full of flowers and trees, but there was no sign of any living creatures.
After looking at several houses in front but not seeing anyone, Wu Ming went straight to the innermost main hall.
What surprised Wu Ming was that the closer he got, the faster his heart beat, as if something connected by blood was calling him.
As I took a step, I felt my whole body sink, and then lighten, as if something was flowing around me, and disappeared in a flash!
"This is……."
The moment he pushed the door open, Wu Ming stood up as if struck by lightning, looking straight at the two figures sitting cross-legged inside.
Amazingly, a man and a woman, lifelike sitting corpses!
The man is about fifty years old, with a long beard hanging down his chest, gray hair, and a sickly look on his wrinkled cheeks. However, his arms are broken and his eyebrows are slightly opened, which cannot hide his simple and elegant temperament, but at the same time he is not angry.
A sense of self-prestige!
The woman is about thirty years old. She is a beautiful woman wearing a light blue dress. She has a sickly pale face with a beautiful face. She frowns slightly like a living person, exuding a hint of worry!
But there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he remembered something happy!
The appearance of this woman is exactly the same as the portrait in the Ciyun Garden Memorial Hall. She is none other than her mother, Princess Yun—Gu Yun!
That old man was none other than his maternal ancestor Lu Jiuchuan, exactly the same as what he remembered seeing when he was a child.
"Grandpa! Mother!"
Affected by the remnants of his previous life, Wu Ming knelt down tremblingly, tears streaming down his face.
Silent grief surged into my heart, and there was even more unspeakable anger!
How longing for you leads to illness and death, returning home to observe filial piety, all of which are just farts!
The bodies are all here, so who is buried in Princess Yun’s tomb?
There is a painting hanging above the altar table in the main hall, which is a man and a woman. It is vaguely visible that they are the portraits of their grandfather and grandmother.
There are two memorial tablets placed on the table. The former shows an old memorial tablet: Therefore, it shows the spiritual tablet of the old child of the Gu clan;
The latter's handwriting is elegant and resolute, obviously it was written by Gu Yun, and the writing time was not long.
In front of the altar table, there are three futons. The two people are sitting on them, as if looking at Wu Ming. On the last futon are two letters and a jade vase. My son Mingqi, seeing the words is like meeting each other.
"What's going on? Could it be the Gu family..."
Bearing the impact of cruel thoughts, Wu Ming knelt respectfully in front of the body, kowtowed, and picked up a bloody letter full of anger and unwillingness to read.
"My son Yunqi, the Wu family is in critical danger right now. It's because my father doesn't know who he is, and he is incompetent and useless. He can't save you and Ming from the sea of suffering!
Since ancient times, the aristocratic family is ruthless and the royal family is unrighteous. The former tried to seize the secret key of the true dragon that they accidentally obtained while preparing something to save their grandson's life.
The latter wanted to use Ming'er as a cue to trap my brother in a dispute over the holy way, which led to today's disaster.
I used myself as a guide, and when I was about to die, I set up a blood formation, and only those close to me by blood could enter, and take away the treasures one by one.
Only in this way can I find a way out for you and my poor grandson, and leave the ruthless imperial city and the ancient family.
The secret key to the true dragon's legacy was placed in the formation eye by me. This treasure can only be taken out when I grow up tomorrow.
Remember, the things I leave behind are really not something you, the orphans and the widows, can possess. Don’t covet them, as this may lead to death!”
The blood letter is full of sadness and helplessness, even at the end of the envelope, it is telling Gu Yun and her son how to save their lives!
"Grandpa has a thorough understanding, but who is his brother and why is he involved in the struggle for the holy way? Uncle Fu never said anything!
Judging from the words in this letter, this person must be a powerful person who has reached the heavens and the earth. If you can get his help, there is no need to tie your hands and feet everywhere!"
Wu Ming suppressed the grief in his heart, kowtowed respectfully, and picked up another letter to read.
The handwriting is delicate and elegant, and there is a deep sense of reluctance and longing between the lines.
"My poor child, when you read the letter, you will have many questions.
Your grandfather and grandmother went to dangerous places many times due to illness, and were injured one after another. Even your grandmother died unexpectedly. Until you were sent to Beijin as a hostage by the Zhao family, the Gu family stood by and watched, and they have been strangers ever since.
The old man knew that the treasures hidden in his body after death would never fall into the hands of you or me, so he arranged a bloodline formation.
Unexpectedly, the Gu family's greed took over and they directly attacked the formation without knowing what was going on, causing the formation to change.
As a result, my mother can only enter the place after cultivating on her own. After searching through the treasures left by your grandfather, I have a vague idea!
Therefore, only three Nine-Aperture True Dragon Pills were taken out. This pill is an ancient treasure pill. It contains an innate vitality that can cleanse the body, open up the meridians, and nourish the acupoints. Its medicinal properties are extremely mild.
Even if it cannot help you completely get rid of evil poison, it can at least keep you healthy and live a long life.
You can swallow one and give the other two to the Gu family in exchange for freedom. As for the other treasures..."
Wu Ming was stunned, his hands were trembling, and many fragmentary clues kept wandering around in his mind, piecing together a large web of truth.
Lu Jiuchuan, the son-in-law of the Gu family, had to repeatedly break into forbidden places in search of treasures to survive because of his grandson Wu Ming's chronic illness.
However, there is nothing we can do to save it!
As for the so-called battle for the holy way, Wu Ming didn't know much about it, but he could imagine what a shocking layout it was.
But looking at the Xuan Sheng Ancestor who single-handedly suppressed the country and prevented the barbarians from entering for ten thousand years, we can see that it is dangerous and terrifying.
And the secret key to the true dragon that he accidentally obtained was obviously intended to be used to make a deal with the Gu family, at least to bring Wu Ming back from the Kingdom of Jin.
Unexpectedly, although Wu Ming came back, the formation was disrupted by forces outside the Gu family, resulting in today's situation.
As for his mother Gu Yun, she probably realized that she didn't have much time left after entering the formation as a casual cultivator. In order to show her determination, she would rather die in the formation than show up.
In the end, Gu Yun was deceived into collecting the treasure and failed to return, which attracted the royal family's prying eyes and forced the Gu family to take Wu Ming back!
As for what agreement was reached and what role the royal family played, we can only find out later.
"My parents are sorry for what happened during my lifetime and after my death!"
Wu Ming first obtained the body and inherited the cause and effect. Today he obtained the treasure pill that defied heaven and changed his destiny. He should pay tribute as a descendant!"
Wu Ming kowtowed and paid homage, his heart filled with rage.
Although he has not completely clarified it, he can already understand roughly that the most intolerable thing is that the Gu family's greed drove Gu Yun to death!
This is no different from being buried alive!
After pondering for a while, he took the jade bottle and opened it for inspection. He saw three golden elixirs the size of broad beans inside, with a gleaming surface and only a faint fragrance.
After a gentle sniff, Wu Ming felt that his whole body felt so comfortable, as if he was about to float, and his heavy mind relaxed a little.
Pour one in your hand, and you are surprised to find that the colorful glow is spinning around the elixir like a living thing.
"This elixir should not be taken lightly!"
There was a flash of green light, and Qingxia appeared with a cold face. She waved her hand casually, and the True Dragon Pill fell into her hand.
"Why?"
Wu Ming was surprised.
Since he was left by his elders and it is impossible to harm him, why shouldn't he be taken lightly?
"Although the power of this elixir is mild, it requires special methods to ensure that it is fully absorbed and help you open up another life fire.
But now that you have opened up the life fire in your two orifices, the power of the evil things in your body is growing day by day. Even if our sisters help you suppress and refine it, we can only maintain the balance!"
Qingxia said lightly.
Wu Ming nodded silently.
The meaning is very simple. If one more life fire is opened, the two women will not be able to maintain the balance between the evil poison and the power of life fire in his body!
He gradually felt the benefits of turning on the Nine Orifices Life Fire.
The Qihai Aperture Minghuo masters internal strength cultivation, and the Mingjingjing Aperture Minghuo masters physical body training. If another upper three orifice Minghuo fire is opened, it can greatly make up for the loss of five years of stagnant cultivation.
"Hey, what is this?"
Suddenly, Qingxia's eyes lit up and she waved to Wu Ming's chest.
I saw a flash of blue-grey light, and the dragon's clothes fell into Qingxia's white and tender hands, like a top.
"This treasure is called Dragon Yi, also called Dragon Slough. It is the mortal shell shed by a saint before he became enlightened!"
Wu Mingyan explained concisely and comprehensively.
"This thing contains a mixed true dragon's energy. Although it is not very good, it can assist this elixir and suppress the evil things in your body!"
Qingxia said, a large green flame emerged from her white and tender hands, wrapping the elixir for refining.
Wu Ming secretly clicked his tongue.
This treasure is the dragon robe of Xuansheng Ancestor, and it can be said to be the strongest among the holy treasures, but in Qingxia's mouth, it is regarded as mixed and not very good!
Angang!
Suddenly, the elixir's golden light blazed brightly, and the original golden stream of light suddenly turned into a wandering golden dragon, roaring in waves, which made people feel refreshed!
What shocked Wu Ming even more was that even the dragon robe was under the green flames, as if it had been reborn, taking on a jade color, and erupted into a burst of shocking dragon roars.
The lines on it are even more mysterious, as if they contain the principles of heaven and earth.
After just one glance, Wu Ming felt dizzy and quickly looked away, feeling horrified.
"I have refined this elixir. It can be swallowed without any special skills. You can choose the time of refining it by yourself!"
Qingxia casually threw down her longyi and said coldly.
Although she seemed cold and inhumane, Wu Ming clearly felt Qingxia's weakness.
Look at the lotus lantern in the box again, the cyan light and shadow are dim and erratic, as if it will go out at any time.
Before he could say anything, Qingxia floated closer, sucked away most of the life fire, and merged back into the lotus lantern before disappearing.
Wu Ming touched the bridge of his nose, feeling warm in his heart. He picked up the longyi and looked at it. There was a golden dragon-shaped elixir surrounded by light and mist, spinning around.
"Did this girl do this on purpose?"
What made him dumbfounded was that no matter how hard he shook it, no magic elixir came out.
"Forget it, it's getting late, just wait until Zixia comes out in the morning before taking it!"
Looking at the sky, it was already midnight. Wu Ming sat cross-legged, running the "Xiantian Kung", trying to get back to his best condition before dawn.
As for the Gu family, just let them wait!
Little did they know that because of Qingxia’s movements while refining Longyi, the people of the Gu family were in a quarrel!
