Chapter 335: One Step Away
A majestic old man suddenly appeared at the border of the gourd world.
The old man was dozens of feet tall, standing tall in the gourd world, with two huge eyes like lanterns, staring closely at Lu Yu and Qin Yanzhen.
This man was obviously the legendary Yuan Clan Qiu Zu - Yuan Shiqiu.
This sudden change startled Lu Yu, and then he realized that Qiu Zu obviously did not really enter the gourd, otherwise he would not project his image on the border of the gourd, but appeared in person next to it.
Qin Yanzhen, on the other hand, was very calm, because she knew that the entrance to the gourd had been closed by her, and Yuan Shiqiu could not easily come in.
She just chuckled and said, "The Yuan family's treasure? You are not ashamed at your age? Are you sure that this Sacred Heart Gourd belongs to your Yuan family?"
Yuan Shiqiu said, "This item was passed down by my Yuan family's ancestors. It has been in the hands of my Yuan family for thousands of years and is controlled by my Yuan family. If it is not our Yuan family, who else would it belong to?"
Qin Yanzhen said, "Just because it is in your hands does not mean it is yours! As far as I know, this item was passed down by Pan Wu Xianzun, and your Yuan family did not inherit Pan Wu Xianzun's Taoist tradition, so how can it be considered yours?"
"Pan Wu Xianzun ascended to heaven, and this item became ownerless. Only those with virtue can own it. Although this item belonged to your Yuan family in the past, why can't it be mine now? ? "
Yuan Shiqiu frowned and said, "I won't argue with you. Since you can control the Sacred Heart Gourd, it means you have some real skills. Considering that you are also enlightened people, as long as you come out and return the things to the original owner, I will forgive you and let you leave safely, and I will never pursue it afterwards... Otherwise, do you think you can still come out safely? Yuan has been in the world for thousands of years, and he will keep his words and will never lie to you!"
Qin Yanzhen laughed, "No need. If you have any means to get us, just try it!"
After saying that, he suddenly raised his hands again, waving his ten fingers continuously, and countless starlight points flew everywhere in an instant.
The world in the gourd changed drastically again. Lu Yu suddenly felt empty under his feet. Suddenly, the rich aura like cotton wool that he was stepping on disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by an extremely huge formation, and countless rich auras emerged from the formation.
At the other end of the formation, there was a bottomless dark tunnel. Lu Yu stepped on the force field of the formation and did not fall down, but he clearly felt the darkness of the tunnel, and there were faint sounds of tidal fluctuations, like the Styx connected to hell, which was creepy.
Obviously, this formation was the source of the endless spiritual energy of the Holy Heart Gourd, but I don’t know what happened to this dark tunnel?
Seeing this, Yuan Shiqiu on the side suddenly changed his face and screamed loudly: "What are you going to do?"
Qin Yanzhen ignored it, turned to look at Lu Yu with a smile, and explained: "This place is equivalent to the root of the Holy Heart Gourd. It is both its source of power and its bondage. Only by cutting off this connection can the Holy Heart Gourd move to another place."
Lu Yu was stunned. No wonder he couldn't move the Holy Heart Gourd with all his efforts before. It turned out that there was such a connection at its bottom.
Yuan Shiqiu said loudly: "Since you know so much, you should know that the place where the Holy Heart Gourd suppresses is a spring where several underground spiritual veins converge. Only through the supply of this spring can the gourd be guaranteed to have sufficient spiritual energy. If there is no spring, even if the Holy Heart Gourd is seized by someone, it will only be a waste and will not play any effect at all!" Qin Yanzhen smiled and said: "Waste in your hands is always better than treasure in other people's hands! Besides, it is only waste in your hands, not necessarily in my hands!" As she spoke, she waved her hand, and the brilliance of the formation began to gradually extinguish. At the same time, the entire Holy Heart Gourd began to shake violently. Yuan Shiqiu's image projected on the edge of the gourd also began to become unstable, and his face couldn't help but twist. His voice was filled with anxiety: "Stop! If the connection is cut off, it will not be as simple as a lack of supply! I have already said that the terrain here is special. It is a spring where several spiritual veins converge. The Sacred Heart Gourd is equivalent to suppressing several spiritual veins..."
"If the Sacred Heart Gourd is moved away without authorization, the underground spiritual veins will gush out, and then the violent spiritual power will destroy everything... Not only will everyone present die, but you who are hiding in the Sacred Heart Gourd will be the first to bear the brunt and will not be able to escape!"
"Really?"
Qin Yanzhen said lightly, but waved her hand again, and several more formation lights began to extinguish.
"I don't think so!"
Yuan Shiqiu couldn't help but be furious and hysterical: "Crazy, crazy! This woman is crazy! Boy, if you don't want to die, stop her quickly! Only you can stop her now!"
Lu Yu's face changed.
He did not change his position because of Yuan Shiqiu's words, but because as Qin Yanzhen extinguished the formation, he instinctively felt the breath of danger from the dark tunnel on the other side, as if there was an invisible cold hand in the darkness, holding his heart tightly.
Unfortunately, just as he wanted to make a move, his body suddenly became lighter, and then he was swept into a storm, losing control of his whole body and unable to move.
In this gourd world, only Qin Yanzhen can freely control the formation of the storm.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Shiqiu stopped talking, and the figure projected on the edge of the gourd suddenly disappeared. It was unknown whether he slipped away in advance or something else happened.
"It seems that what this Qiu Zu said is true?" Lu Yu asked.
Qin Yanzhen nodded: "Yes."
Lu Yu said again: "If that's the case, then I'm very curious, how do you plan to get out next?"
Qin Yanzhen walked up, smiling like a flower, and gently stroked Lu Yu's cheek.
"It's up to you now, my husband... Although the gushing power of the underground spiritual vein is extremely violent, Wang Lang, you have a unique skill. If I throw you into this spring, I can at least buy a few breaths for me to escape from here!"
Lu Yu was stunned: "Have you calculated the current situation?"
Qin Yanzhen couldn't help but smile more charmingly: "What do you think? Otherwise, I would agree to my marriage proposal and try every means to get you into the group?"
Lu Yu was silent immediately. She actually started planning so early and calculated every step precisely. All this can't help but make people think about it carefully.
However, he was not sad or angry. After all, the two of them were just using each other. If they got into this situation now, they could only blame themselves for not being as skilled as others and being one step behind.
"Wang Lang, do you have anything else to say?" Qin Yanzhen asked softly.
Lu Yu raised his head and looked into her eyes: "Who is your real identity?"
Qin Yanzhen smiled gently: "Before I die, I will tell you the truth! In fact, Qin Yanzhen is my real name, but it is only limited to this life. Before I reincarnate, I have another name - Fairy Yaoji!"
After saying this, she waved her hand, and the remaining array light was extinguished, and the dark tunnel was completely exposed under her feet, without any cover.
The next moment, Lu Yu's body fell down and fell into endless darkness...
Qin Yanzhen hurriedly controlled the Sacred Heart Gourd, flew into the sky, and fled at full speed.
After a few breaths, a huge force surged, and the sky collapsed and the earth cracked.
Even the majestic city of Kyoto, which has always stood for thousands of years, was torn apart by this huge force at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it no longer existed in an instant.
