Chapter 822: August 14th

Jiang Yitian frowned slightly. After hearing Chen Guanlou's words, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Thinking about how great the risk of this trip was. If Grandmasters were really involved, he had obviously underestimated the danger of this trip before.

"There are even third and fourth-rank martial artists running over to join the excitement; they really don't care about their lives. These people are all cannon fodder." Chen Guanlou looked at the few young people strolling on the street and sighed. They were truly ignorant and fearless.

Jiang Yitian's face changed slightly.

For this trip, in order to let the disciples in the sect gain knowledge, the sect also arranged a batch of fourth and fifth-rank disciples to follow. According to Brother Chen's words, they were all here to die?

The news obtained by the Qingyun Sect was obviously incomplete and had omissions.

"Brother Chen seems to know the situation of this trip very well."

"I know a thing or two."

"Can Brother Chen tell me a thing or two?" Jiang Yitian arched his hands and pleaded very politely.

Chen Guanlou raised an eyebrow slightly. "Brother Jiang seems very surprised that Grandmasters are involved."

"It is indeed a bit surprising. The news obtained by the sect before only said that ninth-rank martial artists were enough, and Grandmasters disdained this rumor."

Chen Guanlou lowered his head and smiled. "May I ask Brother Jiang, in your eyes, what is the Dayu ancient tomb?"

"It is an important basis for breaking the secrets of the previous dynasty." Jiang Yitian said very seriously.

"It is indeed a basis, but it is also an opportunity. Don't you believe the legend that there were immortals in the previous dynasty? If you don't believe it, you naturally cannot understand why Grandmasters would visit this place. If you believe it, why would you ask these questions."

Jiang Yitian frowned, without defending or refuting.

Whether he believed it or not, he naturally had a scale in his heart.

After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Does Brother Chen believe the legend of immortals?"

"Everything is possible." Chen Guanlou said ambiguously. He was half-believing and half-doubting; the things that happened to him were magical enough and difficult to explain with common sense. Then, it was not strange that there were immortals in the early Dayu dynasty.

He looked at a corner of the sky.

Perhaps because the spiritual energy in this world was thin, the immortals abandoned this world and went to another space, a world full of cultivators.

What exactly is spiritual energy?

He reached out and grabbed a handful of air, invisible and untouchable, but if there was more or less in the air, people would always have some reaction. For example, if there were more toxic substances, the respiratory tract would react for the first time. If there was less oxygen, the body would also issue a warning.

Spiritual energy is definitely not a gas necessary for the human body; the body's reaction to spiritual energy is obviously not timely enough, and it is several beats slower. When it was discovered that there was no spiritual energy, the immortals had already left long ago and would not return.

Since then, this world has only left the legend that the immortals have been here.

You cannot deny that these legends are fake just because of the long time.

He could see from Jiang Yitian's expression that the other party held great suspicion about the saying of immortals.

However, eight out of ten people who come here believe that immortals existed and believe that there are treasures left by immortals in the ancient tomb.

"Is Brother Jiang here just to open his eyes and gain knowledge?"

Jiang Yitian was a bit embarrassed. "Sorry, I suddenly remembered an important matter that hasn't been handled yet. I'll be back soon."

"Brother Jiang, take your time, don't worry. I live in the inn. If you have anything, you can look for me at the inn."

"That's settled then."

Jiang Yitian came and went in a hurry, looking like he was going to send a letter to the sect, as the news had been misled and the preparations were insufficient.

Chen Guanlou was very interested. Did Zhang Daohe deliberately spread a lot of fake news at the beginning of spreading the information to screen people? He had been here for so many days, and he was almost tired of looking at the whole town, and Zhang Daohe hadn't sent anyone to contact him.

What does it mean?

The agreement is invalid, and he doesn't need him to save his life?

The plan has changed, and he is fooling him?

Or did he encounter an unexpected situation and delay the plan?

Now many martial artists have gathered in the small town, but no one knows the real location of the ancient tomb.

How does Zhang Daohe want to play?

August 14th, night!

The door was knocked.

Chen Guanlou got up to open the door and saw the aunt responsible for cleaning the inn standing outside the door. However, her temperament had completely changed.

From a simple, plain, and bitter-looking woman, she became sharp-eyed, contemptuous, examining, and still had a trace of doubt.

Instantly, he knew that this aunt was also a cult bandit. She was hidden deep enough.

Who would have thought that the inn cleaner was disguised by a cult bandit?

Thinking about it, he was not surprised at all. The most awesome thing about the Bai Lian Sect is not that there are many followers, and they can always rise from the ashes, and they can never be killed in any dynasty. What is truly powerful is their ability to hide their identities, which is superb, integrated, and real!

"Distinguished guest, please follow me!" The woman said expressionlessly.

After waiting for so many days, he finally waited.

Chen Guanlou stood at the door without moving.

The woman hesitated for a moment, seemingly a bit unwilling, and took out a token.

He also took out the token, and when put together, it was exactly a complete one-hundred-tael silver note. It couldn't be faked. He tore it off himself that day, and it was still stained with oil from eating that day.

"Let's go! Lead the way ahead."

The woman led him out of the inn, walked on a small path that only locals knew, went out of the town all the way, climbed over mountains and ridges, and went straight into the mountains.

Walking to a mountain col, the other party suddenly stopped. "For the road ahead, please go by yourself, distinguished guest."

"Is Zhang Daohe in front?"

The woman lowered her head slightly and didn't speak.

"You don't lead the way?" Chen Guanlou continued to ask.

"I am only responsible for bringing the distinguished guest here. Please!"

The woman raised her hand, making a gesture to continue moving forward.

He hesitated for a moment, then decisively continued to move toward the mountain col, leaving the woman behind.

A wet mountain road, it could be seen that many people had walked this road recently, the road surface was compacted, forming a sharp contrast with the slightly loose soil around it.

Early autumn, the mountain forest was still lush. In the middle of the night, when the wind blew, it was as if ghosts were crying and wolves were howling. Timid people would be scared out of their wits.

Not knowing where the front was, he could only walk forward along the mountain road. Wild beasts appeared in the forest, and in the middle of the night, the two eyes were like big light bulbs.

The wild beasts were very sensitive and knew that he was not easy to mess with, so they stayed far away and didn't dare to get close.

After climbing over a mountain, the view suddenly opened up.

In the distance, it was brightly lit, like daylight at night.

A corner of the lake, about ten acres of land, was artificially surrounded, surrounding the lake to pump water, forming a shallow pond. Inside and outside the pond, the water level contrast was obvious.

What a big project!

In an era that could only rely on manpower, such a big project, so much water, how many people need to work at the same time?

The Bai Lian Sect is indeed a big family with a big business and many people.

The most crucial thing is that such a big project, lasting for such a long time, was not discovered by anyone. Perhaps someone broke into this territory by mistake, and as soon as they showed their heads, they were silenced. ===== CHAPTER 823 =====
