Chapter 153 Under Zhongnan Mountain
Chapter 153 Under Zhongnan Mountain
Gu Qianbei felt a blur before her eyes and suddenly found herself in a mountain forest.
"Where am I?"
The completely unfamiliar environment made Gu Qianbei look around with curiosity.
"It feels so real, it doesn't feel like a dream at all. As expected of a celestial elixir, the effects are truly amazing."
I wonder just how exaggerated the level of this divine drink is.
After a moment of reflection, Gu Qianbei began to explore his surroundings.
"Senior sister! Slow down, senior sister!"
"Hehe, junior sister, your Heavenly Net Formation is still not up to par; you're far inferior to me."
Two women's voices came from not far away, and Gu Qianbei looked up in surprise.
Two women, one older and one younger, were seen moving through the woods.
The young woman was about twenty years old, dressed in purple, exuding a mature and sophisticated aura, and was stunningly beautiful.
The little girl was about eight years old, wearing a white dress. Although she had not yet fully grown up, she already had the beginnings of a stunning beauty.
"The Heavenly Net Formation? Isn't that the Ancient Tomb Sect's lightness skill? Is this Zhongnan Mountain? Could those two be Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu?"
Gu Qianbei was secretly alarmed when he thought of this.
"Where did you get this from? Ten years ago?"
Just as Gu Qianbei was puzzled, Li Mochou spotted him.
"Who's there!"
Li Mochou shouted loudly, then turned around and landed in front of Gu Qianbei.
"Who are you? You don't look like a stinky Taoist priest from the Quanzhen Sect, but you are quite good-looking."
Li Mochou was initially wary, but after seeing Gu Qianbei's appearance, her expression softened considerably.
Firstly, because Gu Qianbei wasn't wearing the Quanzhen Sect's Taoist robes, and secondly, because he was good-looking.
A good appearance can really solve a lot of unnecessary troubles and bring many benefits.
Gu Qianbei already knew this in her previous life.
"My name is Gu Qianbei, a winemaker. I just happened to be passing by. Please forgive me if I have been rude."
Gu Qianbei cupped his hands slightly, his face beaming with a warm smile.
Li Mochou blushed slightly upon seeing this.
This was the first time in her life she had ever spoken to a man her own age, and one who was also so handsome.
For a moment, she felt her face getting slightly hot.
"No...it's nothing."
Li Mochou lowered her head, her voice barely audible.
At this moment, Little Dragon Girl also landed on the ground.
"Senior sister! I've caught up with you!"
Little Dragon Girl happily tugged at Li Mochou's sleeve, her face full of innocent joy.
At this time, Xiaolongnu was not yet the cold and aloof girl she would become at eighteen. With her senior sister by her side, her childhood was relatively happy.
After Li Mochou escaped from the Ancient Tomb, Xiaolongnu began to cultivate the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, and her personality gradually turned cold, transforming her into an ice queen.
"Hey, who are you? What are you doing here? This is the Tomb of the Living Dead, and disciples of the Quanzhen Sect aren't allowed here."
Little Dragon Girl tilted her head and looked at Gu Qianbei with a puzzled expression.
"I am not a disciple of the Quanzhen School."
Xiaolongnu suddenly realized, and then her curiosity intensified.
"So that's how it is! How strange, I've never seen a stranger before. Where are you from?"
"Xiangyang".
"Xiangyang? I've heard Granny Sun mention it. It's a very, very big city. Is it fun there?"
Children are naturally full of questions.
"not bad."
Gu Qianbei replied with a smile.
"Wow, I'm so envious, I want to go too."
"Junior sister, you talk too much. Master said you're not allowed to go down the mountain, so don't even think about it."
When Li Mochou said these words, her face showed a hint of loneliness.
As a young girl in the prime of her life, how could she possibly want to spend her remaining years in an ancient tomb?
The urge to descend the mountain had been brewing for some time.
"Senior sister, are we really never going to be able to leave the mountain?"
Little Dragon Girl was at the age where she loved to play, and her eyes were full of longing.
"Perhaps."
Just then, Grandma Sun's voice came from afar.
"Ladies! Dinner's ready!"
"Yay, time to eat! Goodbye, big brother!"
Little Dragon Girl was so excited that she danced with joy and pulled Li Mochou to go back.
Li Mochou was pulled and stumbled, and had no choice but to follow Xiaolongnu back.
"Goodbye, young master."
Watching the two figures disappear, Gu Qianbei couldn't help but smile.
"I never imagined these two had such a good relationship before. No wonder Xiaolongnu couldn't bring herself to kill Li Mochou."
They were all innocent and carefree girls; it's such a pity that they turned out like that.
Lu Zhanyuan, you are truly guilty of heinous crimes.
Gu Qianbei shook his head slightly, then mentally summoned the system.
"System, how long will this dream last? When will I wake up?"
"The host will enter a random dream for the first time after drinking the Yellow Millet Dream. The time will not be too long, and the host will automatically wake up after seven days."
One thing to remind the host is that the "Dream of the Yellow Millet" should not be consumed frequently; at most once a month, otherwise it will place too much mental strain on the mind.
"Seven days? That's not long. But staying here in Zhongnan Mountain is quite boring."
Gu Qianbei looked thoughtful, considering what he could do in the next seven days.
"On Zhongnan Mountain, there is only the Quanzhen Sect and the ancient tomb. There's nothing to covet about the Quanzhen Sect, but the ancient tomb has the Chongyang inscription."
Although it is not the complete Nine Yin Manual, it still contains many interesting martial arts techniques.
For example, the Soul Transfer Technique and the Secret Technique for Unlocking Acupoints.
Gu Qianbei became interested upon thinking about this.
"System, can this 'Dream of the Yellow Millet' fully represent a world? Does it contain everything that should be in the ancient tomb? Can I bring what I learn here back to reality?"
"Please explore the mysteries of this wine on your own."
"They're pretty tight-lipped. Fine, I'll figure it out myself."
Gu Qianbei smiled faintly, then began to explore the surroundings.
It's obviously impractical to try and enter through the main gate of the ancient tomb.
Now that Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu's master is probably still alive, he might not be able to defeat them. He doesn't want to be thrown out later, that would be very embarrassing.
Moreover, forcibly breaking into someone's mountain gate would only lead to enmity, so Gu Qianbei decided against it.
Although it was just a dream, he wasn't a domineering or unreasonable person.
So there's only one way left.
waterway.
Gu Qianbei searched all over Zhongnan Mountain and finally found the pool.
"This is it."
Gu Qianbei immediately activated the Golden Light Spell and jumped into the pool with a splash.
The golden light separated the pool, allowing Gu Qianbei to swim freely in the water.
After searching for a while in the pool, Gu Qianbei found the right path and swam towards the depths of the pool.
After about half an hour, we finally reached the end.
"This underwater tunnel is really long; you can't swim in without some martial arts skills."
Gu Qianbei sighed and then jumped out of the water.
The surroundings were pitch black, but Gu Qianbei's golden light illuminated the entire cave.
The cave ceiling was covered with a map of the underwater passage, along with a considerable amount of text.
"Found it, the Chongyang inscription."
Gu Qianbei's eyes lit up, and he immediately memorized all the fragments of the Nine Yin Manual.
"The Soul Transfer Technique, the Breath Holding Secret, the Acupoint Release Technique, and the Acupoint Striking Secret are all auxiliary martial arts."
Although it's not very powerful, it's still quite practical.
I don't know if I can bring this back to reality, but I'll just jot this down for now.
Gu Qianbei nodded in satisfaction, memorized everything, and then left.
The air quality here is terrible; it's not a good place to stay.
