Chapter 280 Entering the Fuso Clan's Residence

Is there anyone?

Everyone was startled when they heard this. They had just checked. There was no one in the valley or on the ground!

Although the place behind the underground palace was a blind spot, they had checked in multiple directions. There was absolutely no way they could have missed anything. Could it be another Gu technique similar to Gong Tao's psychedelic array?

Shen Qing's focus fell on another key point -

The Fusang clan.

Others didn't know, but Shen Qing knew that Lu Yan's grandmother Fu Zhi was from the Fusang clan in southern Xinjiang. So, was the family in front of them Fu Zhi's family?

However, before Shen Qing could speak, he saw Tuanzi in his arms "swished" and rushed out directly, heading straight for the two teenagers.

Seeing that Tuanzi was coming aggressively, the two teenagers used Gu techniques to fight the enemy, but they didn't expect that their Gu techniques had no effect in front of Tuanzi!

The two boys looked panicked. It was the first time they had seen such a situation in their lives. Just as they were about to inform the uncles in the underground palace, they saw Tuanzi hanging in front of them, with a pair of golden eyes looking at them without blinking.

Golden eyes, white cat... these bright features made the two boys' brains explode immediately.

Gu beast!

This is clearly the Gu beast carved on the murals of the underground palace!

One of the boys immediately said excitedly: "Gu beast! You are a Gu beast, right?"

Tuanzi raised his little head with a proud look.

Gu insects are spiritual, and Gu beasts can speak human language. Tuanzi could understand Shen Qing's words early on.

After getting Tuanzi's answer, the joy on the faces of the two boys became more and more intense, because the uncles once said that the day when the Gu beast appeared was the day when their Fusang clan reappeared in southern Xinjiang.

After 36 years, they finally waited!

Tuanzi, regardless of the excitement of the two teenagers, stretched out his claws and pointed directly at the entrance of the underground palace. The meaning was clear: it wanted to go in.

The two teenagers nodded in unison. Just as they were about to take Tuanzi in, they saw Tuanzi leap backwards and landed on Shen Qing's shoulder again.

Shen Qing stepped forward and everyone followed closely.

The two teenagers looked embarrassed. Non-Fusang people were not allowed to enter the underground palace.

Shen Qing saw their concerns at a glance and borrowed Lu Yan's identity, "I came with Fusang Gu, I wonder if I can join the Fusang clan?"

Hearing the three words "Fusang Gu", the two teenagers were shocked again. The reason was simple. Whether it was Fusang Gu or Gu beast, they were the treasures of the Fusang clan and had been missing for many years.

However, the two teenagers still spoke cautiously: "Which Fusang clan member are you a descendant of?"

"Former Southern Xinjiang Royal Princess, Fuzhi."

As expected, hearing Fuzhi's name, the two teenagers quickly stepped aside and respectfully invited Shen Qing to enter.

Fu Zhi's father, the former King of Nanjiang, was the former patriarch of the Fusang clan, and the current patriarch was Fu Zhi's uncle.

With the identity of Fu Zhi's descendants, Shen Qing and his party easily entered the underground palace.

After walking through ninety-nine steps, there was a long corridor that could not be seen at a glance.

On both sides of the corridor, there was an oil lamp every five feet.

With the light of the oil lamp, Shen Qing and his party could clearly see the portraits carved on the murals. At the beginning, there were only five poisons of different forms, which spread for dozens of feet. It was not until they were about to reach the end of the corridor that the images of Fusang Gu and Gu beasts began to appear.

A cat and a Gu were surrounded by the five poisons in the center, like a king high above.

At the end of the corridor, there was an altar.

The altar was more than ten feet high, and the totems of the five poisons and Fusang Gu and Gu beasts were still carved on the four walls. There were also five poisons on the side, and Fusang Gu and Gu beasts in the middle.

On the altar, a corpse was enshrined. It was very small, not even as big as Shen Qing's palm. It could be vaguely seen as a scorpion.

According to the previous murals, the status of Fusang Gu and Gu beasts was obviously higher. However, the scorpion, the leader of the five poisons, was enshrined on the altar. This was a bit difficult to explain.

However, Shen Qing did not ask much, but followed the two teenagers through the altar from one side and walked towards the darkness not far away.

After another corridor of several dozen feet, the front suddenly opened up, and what came into view was a farmland of more than ten acres, where many young and old were farming.

In the middle of the farmland, a peach tree as thick as a bucket was full of peach blossoms, and large petals fell from time to time under the breeze, landing on the fertile land.

Surrounding the farmland were dozens of thatched houses built adjacent to each other. Some of the thatched houses had tables, chairs and chessboards placed in front of them, just like a paradise.

What shocked Shen Qing the most was that there was sunlight in the underground palace!

Yes, more than ten feet deep underground, the sun was scattered freely, making the scene in front of them even warmer.

Rong Heng and his party behind him also looked surprised. The reason was that the scene in front of them was too unreasonable, but it appeared in front of them, washing their cognition again and again.

The appearance of the party quickly attracted a lot of attention, especially the foreign clothes on Shen Qing and his party were too conspicuous.

The two young men explained to the crowd a little. When they heard that Shen Qing was the descendant of Fu Zhi, everyone's faces immediately showed deep respect, and then urged the two young men to take Shen Qing to see the clan leader.

The two teenagers led Shen Qing and his party to the thatched house in the center. A middle-aged man in front of the house was basking in the sun leisurely. A blood-red scorpion was also lying lazily on his head, with its sharp tail hook swinging back and forth, looking very leisurely.

Suddenly, the scorpion Gu smelled a certain smell, opened its eyes suddenly, and then shrank its body and quietly retreated behind the middle-aged man's head. Its stealthy appearance looked a little funny.

The middle-aged man opened his eyes the moment Shen Qing approached, and his sharp eyes kept looking at Shen Qing, and finally fell on the ball on Shen Qing's shoulder, and a light in his eyes slowly rose.

"Who are you?"

Shen Qing could hear the joy in the middle-aged man's words. Before Shen Qing could speak, the two teenagers had already explained to the middle-aged man.

However, after listening to it, the middle-aged man's face showed some understanding, and he said with certainty: "You can't be the descendant of Azhi."

After saying that, he continued: "Although you have a Gu beast with you, you are not a Gu master, so the Fusang Gu can't be in you, which means that the descendants of Azhi are related to you, right?"

The Gu beast is the treasure of the Fusang clan, and the middle-aged man believes that Fuzhi will definitely not give it to someone irrelevant.

Shen Qing was not panicked when her lie was exposed. Instead, she spoke truthfully: "Uncle has good eyesight. As you said, I am not the descendant of Princess Fuzhi, but my husband is. According to seniority, I should call Princess Fuzhi grandmother together with my husband.

And the Gu beast in my hand was also given by my husband."

"Is the Fusang Gu in your husband's hands now?"

Shen Qing nodded, "Yes."

"What about your husband?"

"He was captured by the high priest of Southern Xinjiang and taken to Fusang City."

After the voice fell, the middle-aged man was silent for a long time before he said to the two young men: "Ayao, Ajun, take the guests to rest first."

Seeing that the middle-aged man intended to send them away, Fu Yi and his party frowned slightly, but did not move.

Shen Qing said: "It's okay, I will be fine, you can rest with the two young men first."

Then everyone took Rong Heng and his party away.

Shen Qing sat on the chair opposite the middle-aged man after receiving the signal.

"My name is Fu Hui, and I'm Ah Zhi's uncle. According to seniority, you should call me great grandfather."

Hearing the title of 'great grandfather', which was too old, Shen Qing was immediately stunned. Fu Zhi's uncle, how old would he be now? But Fu Hui looked only in his early thirties...

Fu Hui smiled and explained Shen Qing's doubts: "I'm 72 years old now, but my witchcraft is a little better, so my face looks younger."

A little? This is not younger, this is clearly rejuvenation!

Looking at Shen Qing's surprised look, Fu Hui's mood also improved, "How long has your husband been captured by Fu Yuan?"

Seeing Shen Qing's puzzled expression, Fu Hui explained: "Fu Yuan is the high priest of Southern Xinjiang you mentioned, and is also your grandmother's biological sister."

Speaking of Fu Yuan, Fu Hui's eyes flashed darkly.

"It's been half a month."

"Then there's no rush. Fu Yuan will never take his life. She will treat him like a treasure. However, it's inevitable that he will suffer a little."

Hearing this, Shen Qing's heart, which had been hanging in the air, was a little relieved.

After coming to his senses, Shen Qing realized that the High Priest of Southern Xinjiang was actually Fu Zhi's half-sister. So what happened in the middle that caused the two sisters to become enemies?

Glancing at the thoughtful look on Shen Qing's face, Fu Hui did not hide anything from Shen Qing. He narrated the events of the year to Shen Qing in detail: from the birth of the twin daughters by the Queen of Southern Xinjiang to the sudden death of tens of thousands of poisonous insects due to the accident, to Fu Yuan being regarded as a disaster by the Heavenly Master and imprisoned in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, to Fu Yuan joining forces with the old members of the Blood Killing Clan to destroy most of the Fusang Clan. Shen Qing finally understood why Fu Yuan became what she is today.

"Great grandfather, what did Fu Yuan want to do by capturing A Yan?"

"Use the Five Poison Formation to forcibly take out the Fusang Gu that has already contracted with Lu Yan, and then combine the two Gu beasts to break A Zhi's suppression of her."

Because Shen Qing and Lu Yan are husband and wife, and they have already contracted with Tuanzi, Fu Hui did not hide anything from her. After all, if the Fusang clan wants to return to Southern Xinjiang in the future, they will need Shen Qing's help.

Seeing that Shen Qing was getting more and more confused, Fu Hui simply told her the whole story in detail.

There are five underground palaces in Southern Xinjiang where Shen Qing is now, and they enshrine the bones of the Five Poison Gu Mothers. The underground palace where the Fusang clan is enshrined is the Scorpion Mother, who was once the head of the Five Poisons.

At the same time, these five underground palaces are also the source of the four-sided barrier in Southern Xinjiang, in order to completely isolate Southern Xinjiang from the outside world.

More than two hundred years ago, it was not the Fusang clan that was in charge of Southern Xinjiang, but the Blood Killing Clan.

The blood-killing clan was bloodthirsty and led the Gu army to invade the mainland, trying to unify the world, causing countless people to die tragically.

While the blood-killing clan was slaughtering crazily on the mainland, the Fusang clan, who had been hiding their strength for many years, seized control of Southern Xinjiang in one fell swoop. When the chief of the blood-killing clan, who was fighting outside, learned about it, he hurriedly led his clansmen back to Southern Xinjiang, but was killed by the Fusang clan who had been ambushed in the dark.

This is exactly why Southern Xinjiang and the Western Regions jointly attacked the mainland two hundred years ago, but Southern Xinjiang retreated for no reason in the end.

In that battle, countless people died and wounded on the mainland, and Southern Xinjiang also suffered heavy losses. Nearly one-third of the few Gu Masters were injured in that battle, and the national strength of Southern Xinjiang was instantly weakened by half.

After stabilizing the situation in Southern Xinjiang, the new rulers of Southern Xinjiang, the Fusang clan, for the safety of Southern Xinjiang and to prevent the previous war from igniting, used the power of the entire clan to unite with the Five Poison Gu Mothers to set up the Five Poison Formation with the entire territory of Southern Xinjiang as the background. While setting up the barrier, they also suppressed the evil place of Wan Gu Cave in Southern Xinjiang, ensuring the peace of Southern Xinjiang for two hundred years.
