Chapter 159: Fang Xuanhe, the Guardian of Jinghang

Chapter 159 Jinghang Defense·Fang Xuanhe

Sudden greeting.

Yu Ke, whose thoughts were interrupted, suddenly woke up and turned around to check.

When he saw the person clearly, his pupils shrank slightly, and then he seemed to think of something and his expression returned to calm.

Thanks to the increase in personal strength and various special effects.

Now Yu Ke's perception ability is no less than that of the extraordinary people who specialize in perception. If you want to avoid his perception, get close to him.

Either he is an extraordinary person with unique hiding ability, or he is more powerful than him.

The one in front of him is obviously the latter.

A simple dark blue Taoist robe, lined with white clothes, and cloth shoes.

It is clearly an old man with white hair and beard, but his figure is tall and straight, as if it is due to years of martial arts training. The narrow eyebrows are restrained, and the face is neutral and peaceful. Yu Ke feels like an ancient well, calm on the surface, and deep inside.

At a glance, Yu Ke knew that this person should be the Jinghang City Guard, a real top-level expert.

'Oh no, could it be that he discovered the matter of asking Senling to investigate the magic circle in the area just now, and came to ask for punishment? '

There must be a reason why Fang Zhenshou suddenly appeared here. Even Yu Ke was a little panicked. After all, his actions just now did break the rules of the camp. If others really blamed him, he would not be able to explain.

"The man of the food chain, the forest ranger Yu Ke, is it you?"

Just when Yu Ke was thinking about how to ease the awkward atmosphere, the old man opposite him reached out his hand first, his eyes shining and said,

"My granddaughter likes you very much. She pesters me all day to get your autograph. I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Uh, huh?"

Yu Ke didn't react for a while, and the old Taoist priest had already walked up to him, took out his mobile phone and took a few selfies.

In the middle of the meeting, he even put his arm around Yu Ke's shoulders and asked him to do some cool poses, while he himself made a classic scissor hand gesture.

"My granddaughter's name is Fang Ying. When you sign later, remember to add her name. Also, study hard and make progress every day. That kid always wants to go to Jinghu Forest for adventures and says he wants to be a monster hunter. It's really a headache."

Yu Ke never thought that his first meeting with the Jinghang City Guard would be like this, but he was relieved.

At least he is not a difficult person to get along with.

"Don't worry, Guard Fang, I will sign it later. I will write it on the dragon skin as a small gift for your granddaughter."

Yu Ke never likes to flatter, but who can blame the person in front of him for being one of the most important people in the Jinghang area.

Besides, there are a lot of double-headed dragon skins in the imprint space. Even if they are used to make an inner armor, there will be a lot of surplus. Just consider it as a good relationship.

"There are not so many rules. My last name is Fang, my given name is Xuanhe. Just call me Old Fang. Others think I'm some old god. They like to flatter me, so they call me Fang Zhenshou or Fang Tianshi. My ears are almost callused from hearing them. And you..."

Speaking of this, Fang Xuanhe suddenly turned his head to look at Yu Ke, his eyes flashing with divine light, and said in a deep voice,

"After a while, your strength will not be worse than mine. We are fellow Taoists, and there is no need to judge by seniority."

"Haha, what you said makes me feel embarrassed. I'm just a forest ranger with some strength."

"Just having strength can't detect the armillary sphere formation I set up. You say you only have some strength, then I'll become an old immortal who seeks fame."

Having said this, the two looked at each other. Fang Xuanhe blinked like an old naughty boy, then laughed heartily, turned around and waved his hand to signal Yu Ke to follow him. The latter slapped his forehead helplessly, and took a few steps forward to beg for mercy.

He knew that things were not that simple.

As the one who arranged the magic circle, Fang Xuanhe appeared behind Yu Ke not only because he recognized the latter's identity.

Or Fang Xuanhe came here to chase the people who explored the magic circle, and only remembered who Yu Ke was after seeing him.

This is another benefit of shooting hunting series videos.

If Fang Xuanhe came here and saw a completely unfamiliar person, their first meeting might not be so harmonious.

"Where are we going?"

The words have been spoken, Yu Ke no longer hesitated, and asked as Fang Xuanhe walked forward for a distance.

"Ruins, I want you to help me with the situation. The situation here is worse than I thought. I have been leading people to study it until now, but I am just trying to prevent the situation from collapsing. After all, it is something left by the ancients. It is too difficult to repair it, and it is not easy to change it at will."

When mentioning the situation in the ruins, Fang Xuanhe's expression was no longer as relaxed as before, and he talked about his difficulties without any hesitation.

"I have to thank you for the things in the city some time ago. It should have been my responsibility, but I was held back here and it was difficult to return to help. Recently, it has been a troubled time."

"I really don't know much about the ruins. I can only say that I have done my best."

This is the truth. Yu Ke's combat ability is okay, but when it comes to the history of this era and even various ruins, he is completely in the dark.

"It doesn't matter. Your friend knows a lot, and it should be able to detect it."

Fang Xuanhe glanced at the forest spirit mark on Yu Ke's left arm, noticed that the latter's face changed slightly, and said, "Don't worry, my old bones have a bad memory. I will forget what happened today after a good sleep tomorrow. Just think of me as a desperate attempt to find a cure. At least give it a try. In any case, I have a gift for you." The forest spirit's will was discovered. It can only be said that he is worthy of being a guardian-level figure. Except for the occupation label system, there is probably nothing that Yu Ke can hide from him. 'I can help. Whether it is Jinghu Forest or here, as long as it is a natural disaster, I will do my best. ' Before Yu Ke asked the forest spirit, its response appeared in his mind. After a pause, he reminded in his mind, 'The person next to you is very strong. Be careful. I can't stop him. ' Fang Xuanhe's strength can be seen by the fact that the forest spirit's will can say the word "be careful". ' "It agreed to try, but I don't know if it can help."

Seeing that Sen Ling agreed, Yu Ke stopped talking nonsense and looked at Fang Xuanhe.

"Don't be stressed. The ruins here are already seriously damaged and leaking everywhere. We are just repairers. It is normal that we can't fix it. It's a good thing to delay it for a little longer!"

"What is buried in the ruins that are so serious?"

The things that made Fang Xuanhe not hopeful aroused Yu Ke's interest.

Knowing that it is difficult to save, it still needs the strong guards with many extraordinary people to stay here, just to delay time. It is obvious that the existence in the ruins is extraordinary.

"A disaster that may cause great suffering to the lives of people in Jinghang City if it breaks out."

Fang Xuanhe said it very straightforwardly, which made people subconsciously think about what a disaster that could cause great suffering to the lives of people in a huge city like Jinghang City would look like.

The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the door of the ruins.

An Saili, who had just handed over the task in a nearby tent and was about to return with Yu Ke, saw this scene and suddenly widened his eyes.

I told you to walk around, why did you walk in front of Fang Zhenshou?

Yu Ke noticed An Saili and reached out to say hello. Fang Xuanhe also turned around and waved his hand, motioning An Saili to come over.

"Fang Zhenshou, we..."

Thinking that Yu Ke was in trouble, An Saili stepped forward quickly and opened her mouth to explain, and then she heard Fang Xuanhe say,

"Since you are Yu Ke's friend, come with us to the ruins to take a look. There is no entrance fee this time."

Hearing that she could enter the ruins, An Saili looked at Yu Ke with surprise, and when she saw the latter nod that it was okay, she came over.

It would be a lie to say that she was not curious about the things in the ruins, but An Saili also knew that if Fang Xuanhe did not nod, even the mayor of Jinghang City would not be qualified to enter now. Now that she can enter the ruins to see it for real, she naturally does not want to miss the opportunity.

Passing through the bronze door standing in the mountain wall, the three of them stepped into the ruins.

Yu Ke originally thought that he would see the magnificent underground ruins, or the traces of some monsters left behind, but what came into view was just a long corridor paved with bluestone bricks, about 100 meters long and 3 meters wide.

The walls on both sides of the corridor were engraved with runes, spells and a large number of complicated array lines that Yu Ke could not understand. In the corridor, there were more than a dozen Taoists who were also wearing Taoist robes and looked to be in their 50s or 60s holding scrolls, constantly comparing the contents on the wall with the scrolls. Even when Fang Xuanhe brought Yu Ke and An Saili past, they ignored them completely and concentrated on the work at hand.

When passing by them, Yu Ke would take a glance and see that the scrolls in their hands recorded various incomplete runes, spells and even arrays, and there were also various repair patterns and detailed explanations of experience next to them.

"The walls on both sides of this corridor are all printed with a large number of warnings, seals and defense arrays. It can be seen that the ancients spent a lot of effort to prevent outsiders from breaking in. Little did they know that the most troublesome intruder was not people at all, but the omnipresent time. As time goes by, no matter how sophisticated the means are, it will eventually be difficult to sustain."

Fang Xuanhe's words were full of emotion. It was not known whether he felt sorry for the destruction of the efforts of the ancients, or lamented the ruthlessness of time. Seeing Yu Ke and An Saili looking at the Taoist priests next to them, he said,

"They are all my disciples. They are trying to record the locations where these arrays were destroyed and find ways to repair them. In order to prevent omissions, everyone has cast the Qingxin Mantra so that they will not be affected by the outside world."

Yu Ke looked around. The array that Sen Ling had sensed before should come from here.

However, compared with these broken arrays, Yu Ke was actually more curious about Fang Xuanhe's identity and origin.

Looking out, none of the people in the corridor are young, and the Great Cataclysm Era has only been around for a few years. Fang Xuanhe's skills are obviously not acquired after the Great Cataclysm Era.

There is only one possibility, before the Great Cataclysm Era came, Fang Xuanhe was a transcendent. No, it should be said that he was a cultivator, and he might even be the head of a sect. No wonder the title he mentioned before included "Master Fang".

This is consistent with Yu Ke's experience in the underground palace of the temple some time ago, and the existence of the Pure Lotus Dao.

When the Pure Lotus Sect was at its peak, it suddenly disappeared. The disappearance of the core members was probably only one of the reasons. Obviously, the righteous strongmen also intervened in the suppression of this evil cult.

With this thought, Yu Ke became more and more certain that the things hidden on the other side of this world were far more mysterious than he had imagined.

The advent of the era of catastrophe was just an opportunity for them to surface.

Crossing the corridor.

The group finally arrived at the core area of ​​the ruins.

Fang Xuanhe stepped in first, while Yu Ke stood at the exit of the corridor, looking back and forth in the room in front of him, which was not even spacious, with a confused look.

The disaster that could cause the lives of the people in Jinghang City to be destroyed was hidden here?
