Ever since Jade Ion and Lin Yuchuan led the group away, Tai Xuan had quietened down, reducing the noise and clamor of the past. When the two of them left, Yin Bao Scroll sent Yu Jiuyan and Li Zongyin to lead a thousand disciples to each of the two altars to complete the reconstruction as soon as possible.
After everyone had settled down, Yun Jiuchang had time to pay attention to Uncle Fang. The reason why Uncle Fang was so curious was not only because Uncle Fang had shouldered the blame for him in the Divine Wind Altar, but also because of his mysterious background. Yun Jiu Tang thought, as the 6th generation elder of the Supreme Mystery Capital, he must have known a lot about Qiong Qi, Mu Xue Jue, and Ming Xie's Sky Poison Formation after hiding in the Qing Qiu Mountains for so many years. Thus, he decided to personally seek help from Uncle Fang.
From the back mountain of the Supreme Mystery City, a strange flute sound floated into the capital. The sound was rather strange because it was extremely fragmented, as if a cool breeze had drifted down from the back of the mountain. If one did not carefully distinguish it, it would be difficult to detect. The sound was no different from that of an ordinary flute at first, but if one listened closely, it was very different: it was like the rushing waves of a thin stream that had merged into a river, and the sound of falling snow, mixed with the sound of thunder, was not normal in general.
At this moment, Yun Jiuchang was dragging Shen Jingyang with him as he went to look for Fang Bozhen. Yun Jiu Tang suddenly stopped and listened attentively. The long and faint sound of a flute melded into his ears and he suddenly felt refreshed, "Hey, did you hear the sound from the back of the mountain?" Yun Jiu Tang raised his hand and pointed towards the back of the mountain as he spoke to Shen Jingyang.
"Where …?" What's the sound, I... Why didn't you hear it? " Shen Jingyang had a confused expression on his face, completely at a loss of what to say.
Yun Jiu Tang seemed to be reveling in the story. "How can I not be? Listen carefully …"
After listening for a moment, Shen Jingyang murmured, "There's really a sound. It's too small. Who could possibly hear it?"
Yun Jiuchang smiled, "You are the only one who is unable to hear it. Anyone else would be sensitive to such a melodious flute melody."
Shen Jingyang shrugged his shoulders, a helpless expression on his face, "In any case, I'm lacking in sensitivity to music."
Yun Jiuchang pulled Shen Jingyang back, "Come, let's go to the back mountain!" As he spoke, he hurried towards the corridor that led to the back of the mountain.
"Ah, slow! Didn't we say that we would look for Master Fang for guidance? "Shen Jingyang stopped his steps, doing his best to prevent Yun Jiuchang from continuing onward," You can change as you wish.
Yun Jiu Tang laughed, "It seems like you really don't know anything about music," He waved his hand and explained, "To tell you the truth, Uncle Fang is playing the flute in the back mountain!"
Shen Jingyang's eyes were wide open, his face filled with doubt, "You must be kidding me, right? How did you know that the one playing the flute is him? You and him met a few days ago at the Divine Wind Altar. How do you know him so well? "
"You don't believe me?" Yun Jiu Tang became serious, "Let's not talk about anything else. I am the most clear of everyone in the Supreme Mystery City. As far as I know, no one has been able to produce such a strange flute tune." Don't underestimate the flute's sound. Such a fine and fragmented sound can reach here. If the person playing the flute didn't have profound and resolute inner strength, it would definitely be impossible to reach this place. Who do you think is up to these two conditions? "Only Uncle Fang is profound." Yun Jiu Tang looked at Shen Jingyang's skeptical face and impatiently said, "Ah, forget it. I'm not going to argue with an idiot with a musical voice. How about this, we'll make a bet."
"What kind of bet?" For matters where he couldn't even be sure, Shen Jingyang loved to bet with others. As the saying goes, 'I will resign myself to fate', he always believed in his good luck.
"Whoever loses will be treating everyone to a drink of jade. What do you think? Do you dare to accept?"
"If you want to gamble, then gamble! Why wouldn't I dare to gamble with you?!"
With that, the two of them strode along the corridor towards the back of the mountain. They wanted to get to the bottom of the matter as soon as possible.
On the back of the mountain, the two of them followed the sound and came to a shallow forest. During the middle of spring, the forest was filled with new green foliage and was lush and verdant. In the distance, Uncle Fang was standing with his back to her, happily playing a musical instrument.
"That's not right!" Yun Jiu Tang was suddenly startled, he carefully listened to the melodious sound flowing past his ears, "It's Qing Xiao!"
"You said it was Tick just now, and now you're saying it's Hu Jia. You're definitely going to lose. Once you're down the mountain, hurry up and get me a jar of good jade wall spring beauty!"
The new leaves that had just sprouted out of the trees were shattered by the sound and floated down. The two couldn't help but sigh in admiration. As expected, the inner strength was deep, and the sound of the wind that came out could destroy the leaves from a hundred zhang away. It was definitely not something an ordinary person could do.
"Haha …" In the distance, Uncle Fang was laughing heartily. He suddenly turned around, holding a small but exquisite firecracker in his hand. "Young Hero Yun is indeed extraordinary. You actually know what kind of musical instrument I'm using from over ten zhang away. "Awesome!" Saying that, he cupped his fists and walked towards the two people, "Young Hero Shen, as for your jade wall, spring beauty, I'll gift you a jar of top-notch beauty, how about it?"
The two of them were both shocked. Even though they were so far away, he was still able to clearly hear their conversation. It was truly profound and unfathomable. Yun Jiuchang thought to himself, his internal force is actually so unfathomable, just which stage of the Five Great Realms has he cultivated to? His inner force cultivation realm was probably higher than that of the scroll. It was said that the scroll had reached the third level of the Upper Realm. In that case, Fang Bozhen had at least reached the first level of the Supreme Realm.
Yun Jiuchang and Shen Jingyang hurriedly bowed in greeting. Yun Jiu Tang said, "This junior came uninvited, and my steps were clumsy and hasty. Sorry for the disrespect, master."
Young warriors, this is the first time we are talking, I want to correct you of one thing, "Uncle Fang's slightly chubby face was filled with a smile, his brand-new long robes accentuated his slightly plump and burly figure, and he waved his hand," Only Elder Taixuan can be called 'Master', I have not been like this for a long time, so, don't call me Master anymore! These words from Uncle Fang were filled with authority, as if he was adamant about it.
Yun JiuTang and Shen Jingyang looked at each other, a troubled expression on their faces. If they didn't call him Master, they really didn't know how to address him.
Uncle Fang seemed to be able to see the awkward look on their faces. He waved his hand again and smiled: "If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle in the future."
Senior uncle, this form of address is indeed very fitting and casual. The two of them couldn't help but laugh at the same time.
Uncle Fang looked at Yun Jiuchang, "Major Yun, do you usually like the sound rhythm as well?" He was curious as to how Yun Jiu Tang knew that he was using a musical instrument when he first entered the back mountain. "Are you proficient in studying these musical instruments?"
Yun Jiuchang bowed and said, "It's not much of an accomplishment, I just like it and have some knowledge about it."
"Oh," Uncle Fang slightly nodded his head and began to pace. "Young Hero, please don't be so formal. You've probably come looking for me today for the Qiongqi Beast …" His voice was bleak and slow, as if he was speaking from ancient times.
Yun Jiuchang thought to himself, he is indeed clever, to be able to know even this. "Master …" Oh, no, Senior Martial Uncle, "Yun Jiuchang quickly changed his words," It is truly a brilliant plan, to be able to see through the minds of the juniors with a single glance. Actually, the younger generation were also curious and wanted to know the origin of the Qiong Qi … "
They saw that Uncle Fang didn't answer, but placed the sword in his hands flat on his palms, and slowly began to channel his internal energy into his palms. Gradually, the sword magically shrank until it was only one inch long, and Uncle Fang hid it in his sleeves.
The two were extremely shocked. "This was given to me by a master musician when I first came to the capital," murmured Fang. "That is why I have been so careful to collect it all these years."
Uncle Fang turned around and stared blankly at Yun Jiuchang and Shen Jingyang, "Young heroes, I do not know about one thing. When you entered the sea to kill beasts, you already killed one of them. Why did you let the other one go? This is not kindness, but foolishness!"
Shen Jingyang glanced at Yun Jiuchang. Back then, he had insisted on bringing Qiong Qi back, but now, he had been rashly criticized by everyone. Now, both his body and mind were injured. Shen Jingyang rushed to stop Yun Jiuchang from speaking, "At that time, we only saw this Qiong Qi giving up on resisting, and felt pity for him. In a moment of gentleness, we brought him back from the Exquisite Pagoda …"
"Then after you brought it back, did you not find a suitable place to settle down?" Just throw it in the cave at the top of the mountain! "
"Senior uncle, it's all Yun Jiu Tang's fault. We've always wanted to settle things down, but we haven't found a suitable place for it yet," Yun Jiu Tang said, "Furthermore, we've been busy all this time, so the number of times we've gone to the absolute mountain cave has decreased. Who would've thought that there would be such a tragic disaster …"
At this time, Uncle Fang also shook his head, saying in shame, "However, it's my fault. "Tell me, why do I have to be curious about the Exquisite Pagoda when I live freely in the underground palace of the absolute mountain cave? If I don't touch the Exquisite Pagoda, nothing will happen to me …" Uncle Fang wanted to say something, but he hesitated. He knew that he could not say anything more. He looked towards the distant forest. There was a patch of green everywhere, giving birth to a new life force. That was good. As long as there was a new life, there would be a new hope. Who could stop a new life?
Yun Jiu Tang had always been puzzled by Qiong Qi's misfortune, and went back to the origin of this Qiong Qi, and couldn't help but start to suspect the real origins of the two Qiong Qi's in the Great Sea. There must be many hidden secrets within! As an elder who had experienced hundreds of years in the Qing Qiu mountain, perhaps Uncle Fang would know a little bit about it. Therefore, Yun Jiu Tang asked, "Martial Uncle, in the 'Ancient Psyche Records', this junior has seen that Qiong Qi of the Great Sea can mutate into two males and females for a certain period of time. Moreover, he can be hermaphrodite, and his combat power is limitless. "However, in the face of this Qiong Qi disaster, this junior began to suspect whether this Qiong Qi came from a foreign land …"
Shen Jingyang also added, "That's right. If he really is the Qiong Qi of the Great Sea, how could he not be grateful to us? This is completely different from the one imprisoned in the Exquisite Pagoda."
Uncle Fang listened to the two's wonderful analysis and nodded slightly, revealing a gratified expression, "The two of you observed quite carefully. Young Master Yun, the things recorded in the "Book of Mysteries of the Ancient" are not entirely true, just like the records of Qiong Qi's androgyny being spread around. "
"Ah?!" How could this be? " Both of them exclaimed at the same time.
"Don't not believe me." Uncle Fang turned around and stared at the two of them like he was an eagle, "This Qiong Qi came from the Eastern Wastelands."
He recounted the history of the Qiong Qi. It turned out that although Penglai Island of the Eastern Wasteland was everywhere in the Misty Immortal Realm, it was an extremely cold world deep in the sea, which gave birth to the extreme cold of Qiong Qi. Ever since Qiong Qi was born in the Eastern Wastelands, he had always plagued the common people. When he became an adult, he would transform into a Kun Peng with a pair of large wings. The Kun Peng flapped its wings and flew high into the sky. It crossed the ten thousand li high mountains of the Green Hill Village to arrive at the Great Sea. This was the true home of these vicious beasts. These beasts were originally extremely cold. No place in the Six Realms was suitable for them to live in. Only an extremely cold world in the Great Sea that was sealed in ice and covered in snow all year round would be a place for them. Thereafter, this Qiongqi that came from the Eastern Wastelands coexisted with the Hanhai Qiongqi. The Qiong Qi you killed in the Great Sea was originally born in the Great Sea. As for the Exquisite Pagoda, it was the Eastern Wasteland Qiong Qi.
"Even if I don't release it this time, if it were to secretly gather the power of the Eastern Wastelands and summon the most vicious thing in the Eastern Wastelands, then the Qing Qiu Mountain would be unimaginably terrifying."
"The Qiong Qi from the Eastern Wastelands is now trapped at the bottom of the Divine Wind Cliff. I'm afraid that they won't be able to come out again for the rest of their lives, can they?" Shen Jingyang asked.
"Of course!" "When I was a teenager, I was fortunate enough to have gone to the Eastern Wasteland with Elder Tai Xuan Du. The scenery there was strange, and people and things were protected everywhere, so they could sense each other's auras. I'm worried... "This Qiong Qi has been stuck at the bottom of the Divine Wind Cliff for a long time. His presence will eventually attract all the beasts in the Eastern Wasteland …"
Yun Jiu Tang was startled and his expression changed, "According to senior uncle's intentions, we must go to the Eastern Wastelands and get rid of those extremely dangerous things. Only then will we be able to keep the Qing Qiu Mountain safe …"
"Not all the fierce beasts are eliminated," said Fang Bozhen slowly. "As long as you kill Qiong Qi's mother, you will cut off all connections between Qiong Qi and the Eastern Wasteland, as well as the roots of Qiong Qi's fierce beasts." Uncle Fang stood with his hands behind his back, "Regarding this matter, I've already had a short conversation with Junior Brother Gui Yun yesterday, and he also agrees to do this, but it's not urgent, and we need to think things over carefully, we can't be too hasty, and our efforts will fail!"
The things Fang Bozhen said were things Yun Jiutang and Shen Jingyang had never heard of before. However, the two of them did not doubt that the Eastern Wasteland was a strange place. The situation was far more complicated and dangerous than the vast wastelands. Unexpectedly, after using all of his strength to kill beasts twice, he thought that he would be able to rest at ease. Unexpectedly, the true test had only just begun, and it was far from its start.
Shen Jingyang let out a long sigh, "Sigh, I had originally planned on following up the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest tragedy for a few more days, but now, I'm afraid I'm going to be stranded again. "In any case, if we enter the Eastern Wasteland, I, Shen Jingyang, will be the first to participate!"
"Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest tragedy …" Uncle Fang seemed to be deep in thought as he muttered to himself, "Hmph, this has to do with the Demon and Demon worlds …"
Yun Jiu Tang saw the look on Uncle Fang's face and asked: "What do you think about this tragedy?"
Uncle Fang's gaze was deep, "This tragedy will come to light sooner or later." He looked at Yun Jiu Tang and Shen ying, "Don't you already have important clues in your hands? Then let's start with this clue!"
The two of them were shocked. Even the top secret lead in Shen Jingyang's hands, Uncle Fang, knew about it. It seemed this person was truly omniscient and omnipresent.
New leaves rustled in the forest, and gusts of wind blew. The sky was covered with dark clouds in an instant. Uncle Fang looked into the sky and muttered, "A storm is brewing!"
