Chapter 41 The Girl Who Comes Out of the Cemetery

Sword-forward faction, Shangguan Mu's residence.

The night was already very deep. Shangguan Mu's eyes were faint, looking at the distant sky. By his side, the head Qingyang stood with his hands behind his back, and his eyebrows were locked, as if he was meditating something.

Suddenly, a dark blue light lit up in the sky, and the speed was getting closer and closer. Shangguan smiled faintly and said, "It's coming!"

Qingyang Zhenren withdrew his thoughts, looked at the approaching blue light, and praised: "The child Ziguang is really well qualified. In just 17 years, he has entered the realm of heaven."

Shangguan Mu carefully observed for a moment before he said happily, "The master's vision is really unique. If I don't explore carefully, I can't find it at all."

Oh, a figure fell to the ground. It was Zhang Ziguang. When he saw that the master and the teacher were waiting for his return in the middle of the night, he was moved. He knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Seeing the master and seeing the master make the two disciples who have been waiting for a long time late at night. The disciples are ashamed."

Qingyang Zhenren smiled and said, "Get up, you don't have to be so polite with us. Why don't you teleport back directly? Although it's a long way from Shushan to Jianfeng School, it's enough to use teleportation for more than an hour."

Zhang Ziguang was slightly stunned, immediately stood up and smiled, "Master's eyes are really like a torch. I can see the strength of the apprentice at a glance.

Shangguan Mu patted Zhang Ziguang on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "I didn't expect that the demon lake would make you a breakthrough. You will become a heavenly master in 17 years of cultivation, which is rare in the world!"

Qingyang Zhenren also praised: "Yes, only Huo Xiangtian of Shushan has such achievements in history. Is it that our swordsmen will also have annihilation in the future?"

Zhang Ziguang said, "My master is flattered. Ziguang just wants to serve the Jianfeng faction and doesn't want anything else." He knew that Li Yuehua of the Jianfeng faction had also reached the heavenly realm when he was 17 years old, but this person finally colluded with the Demon Realm and betrayed the Jianfeng faction, so Qingyang Zhenren scoffed at her.

"Light." Shangguan Mu continued, "When you enter the Zhenyao Lake, have you ever found the whereabouts of the artifact?"

Zhang Ziguang's face changed and asked in surprise, "Is there an artifact in the Zhenyao Lake?"

Qingyang Zhenren was a little disappointed, but still said indifferently, "I heard that an ancient artifact was left in Zhenyao Lake, but no one knew what it was. One of the important reasons why I asked you to go to Zhenyao Lake this time is to let you trace the whereabouts of the artifact."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Zhang Ziguang asked eagerly.

Shangguan Mu explained: "Master is worried that you will only look for artifacts and fall into danger regardless of your own safety. After all, it is dangerous."

Zhang Ziguang nodded. He had a deep understanding that it was very difficult to save his life when entering the Zhenyao Lake, let alone find the artifact. If Qingyang Zhenren told him to find the artifact before leaving, his burden would undoubtedly be a little heavier.

Qingyang Zhenren looked at the stars all over the sky and said in a heavy tone, "Now, Xuanyuan Sword, Kunlun Mirror, and Donghuang Zhong are used to repair the seal array of Zhenyao Lake. Three years later, three artifacts will fly out of Zhenyao Lake. According to the promise, Kunlun Mirror, which originally belonged to Shushan, will belong to our Jianfeng School. In this way, the demon The domain has a demon refining pot, Haotian Tower, Nuwa Stone, and four artifacts of Pangu Axe that have been handed down. Our Jianfeng School has Xuanyuan Sword, Houyi Bow, Kunlun Mirror, Qiankun Bag, and four artifacts. The Eastern Emperor Bell belongs to the Ziying School, and now only the sun-chasing boots have not been found.

Zhang Ziguang looked down at the rolling Jianfeng Mountain, and his eyes were a little more determined. He said firmly and said, "I will definitely gather the top ten ancient artifacts and strengthen the sword front school."

His voice echoed in the empty valley. Shangguan Mu and Qingyang Zhenren looked at each other, and the atmosphere fell into silence. After a long time, Shangguan Mu said, "Ziguang, from now on, if there is no order from me, you will not come out of the sword front."

"Why?" Zhang Ziguang looked stagnant and asked eagerly, obviously unwilling.

Qingyang Zhenren straightened his clothes that were blown up by the mountain wind and explained with a smile, "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. If you walk on the rivers and lakes again, your real strength will be exposed sooner or later. At that time, I'm afraid we can't keep the secrets of our swordsmen. Moreover, if you practice at ease in the faction, you will definitely achieve great achievements with your qualifications. If your progress can satisfy me, I will consider passing on to you the position of leader in the future.

Zhang Ziguang's eyes sparkled with excitement. He looked at Qingyang Zhenren gratefully and said excitedly, "Thank you, Master!"

******

Mount Shu, back mountain.

This is a vast cemetery, burying the souls of countless ancestors of Shushan. The wind is blowing, as if they are mourning the lost souls. There is a dead silence around, only the roaring wind.

Yunkong stood alone in front of a cold tombstone, put a bouquet of light blue horse orchids in front of the tomb, with a solemn expression and said, "Senior Ge, let me tell you that he is still alive."

A dark cloud floated by, covering the light of the sun, and the sky suddenly dimmed. The clouds were still facing the tombstone. The tombstone was written with a line of beautiful characters, the tomb of Chu Yuerong, the ninth head of Shushan.

Yunkong sighed and bowed respectfully to turn around and leave. Suddenly, a soft woman's voice came from behind him: "Young man, please wait a moment."

Yunkong's heart was cold, and his hair stood up and sweated coldly. In this desolate place, he suddenly turned around, which was really horrible. Above the tombstone, a wisp of white smoke rose, and a woman in a blue gauze came towards him.

Yunkong took a breath of cold air. The woman in front of her, the willow leaves, bent her eyebrows, and her pure eyes were without any impurities. The light blue corners of her clothes were gently blown up by the wind, like a fairy down to the earth, beautiful and fragranceless.

Yunkong looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and was frightened. It was really creepy for such a beautiful woman to appear in such a desolate place as the cemetery.

The white fog gradually dissipated, and Yunkong's heart also sank. The woman's appearance is exactly the same as Chu Yuerong, the head of Shushan, who has already passed away!

"Excuse me, prince." The woman's voice came like heaven: "What did you just say?"

"Who are you?" Yunkong suppressed the fear in his heart, pretended to be calm and asked.

The woman smiled gently, with two shallow dimples on her face and said, "I'm the gravekeeper here."

"The gravekeeper?" Yunkong looked surprised, and then his face became gloomy. He stared at the fairy-like woman and asked fiercely, "Are you a ghost?"

The girl in blue was not angry and smiled gently, as if a blue lotus bloomed in the wind. Her voice was sweet and said, "I have lived here for hundreds of years and have never seen a ghost."

"Hundreds of years?!" Yunkong was shocked again, his face was full of doubts, and asked, "Who are you?"

The woman skimmed the tombstone, her eyes were a little gloomy, and she said, "I am the daughter of the owner of the tombstone, and my father is the Ge Wangping you just mentioned.

Hearing this, Yunkong's heart was shocked and felt that all this was so unreal. He secretly transported a stream of true qi in his body, and then calmed down. He said, "Nonsense, Elder Chu is dedicated to Shushan, and there can't be any daughter at all!"

The woman lowered her head, played with the jade pendant on her chest, and was silent.

Yunkong knew that he was a little rude, so he comforted him, "Girl, please forgive me for being impulsive and rude next time."

The woman raised her head, her eyes as bright and pure as pearls were full of tears. She sobbed, "They say it's true. Why do you doubt me?"

After saying that, she suddenly turned around and ran away.

Yunkong was a little embarrassed. She laughed at herself and hesitated for a moment, but still caught up and said, "Girl, I really don't want to hurt the girl. If you can trust me, please tell me about Elder Chu."

A pair of clear big eyes of the woman in blue stared at Yunkong, as if with a little smile. Yunkong's face turned slightly red. He had never been stared at by a woman like this.

The woman's tone was a little heavy and said slowly, "When I was a child, I grew up in my mother's yard. I don't know why she never let me out of that big yard. She taught me to speak, read, and many other things. When I grew up a little, she often said to me that my father's name is Ge. Wang Ping.

Yunkong listened carefully, and he vaguely felt that what the girl said was an unknown past.

The girl continued, "The person I know has only one mother. Later, I don't know how long it took me to find that my mother was about to leave me and never come back."

At this point, her expression was a little sad.

Finally, one day, she told me that she was leaving and could never come back. I cried and didn't let her go. Before she left, she took me to this place and told me that I could never leave unless one day, Ge Wangping came. I have been waiting for hundreds of years, but I haven't waited for my father. Her eyes were deep, she looked at the half-sunny and half-gloomy sky, and said leisurely, "Until today, you come to tell me that Ge Wangping is still alive."

Yunkong suppressed the excitement in his heart and listened carefully to the girl's story. Maybe Elder Ge didn't know that Elder Chu was already pregnant at that time. He thought so.

Looking at Yunkong's meditative appearance, the girl suddenly smiled sweetly and said, "Can you take me out?" I'm a little bored staying here."

Yunkong's eyes lit up and suddenly remembered something and said, "If you can answer me a question, I will take you out."

"What's the problem?" The girl blinked and asked. Yunkong smiled mysteriously and immediately said, "Listen to what you said, you have lived for hundreds of years, but how do you protect your youth?"

The woman scratched the back of her head and said blankly, "I seemed to be like this a long time ago, and so did my mother's appearance. Since I was born, I have never changed much."

Yunkong is skeptical. He has never heard that a person can stay forever. Of course, people who have reached the level of extinction can live forever, coexist with heaven and earth, and naturally they can also stay young forever.

The girl in blue was a little anxious. She stamped her feet with some anger and said, "I've already said it. I don't know, but I don't know whether you will take me out or not."

Yunkong smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, come with me. I'll take you to see the leader."
