Chapter 34: Fear

Qi Xuansu decided to go to her home with Long Xiaobai first.

There was definitely no Dragon Palace there, it was at most a Dragon's Nest.

Shi Bingyun didn't follow, she knew that her cultivation was not good enough, if she really met some ancient immortal, she would become a burden, it would be better to stay outside to support. In case Qi Xuansu never came back, she would immediately report to the Taoist immortals to deal with the matter, which was also a safety net.

But before that, Qi Xuansu remembered another thing.

That was the hint from the Heavenly Master. When he was promoted to the True Person of Canzhi, he took the opportunity to ask the Heavenly Master about the Earth Master. The Heavenly Master carried forward the fine tradition of the predecessors of all generations who only spoke half of their words and gave Qi Xuansu a hint.

Let him go to see the scroll given by the Purple Light True Lord after he was promoted to the Pseudo-Immortal.

Qi Xuansu agreed at the time, and later he was promoted to the Pseudo-Immortal, and was busy with marriage, family banquets, returning to the parents' home, taking office, preparing lessons, dragon girls and other messy things, but he threw this thing behind his mind.

It was not until Shi Bingyun mentioned the Chu Heavenly Court in the past that Qi Xuansu had a series of associations, involving the ancient witch cult, and then from the ancient witch cult to the earth master, that Qi Xuansu remembered this matter.

So Qi Xuansu decided to take a look at the scroll given by Zi Guang Zhenjun first.

At the beginning, Qi Xuansu thought that Zi Guang Zhenjun was very cautious about the earth master lineage, and some things were not easy to say, so Zi Guang Zhenjun finally chose to tell Qi Xuansu in this way.

Now Qi Xuansu has changed his mind. Zi Guang Zhenjun is good at peeping into the future and the past, while Yao Yueyan is good at obscuring the secrets of heaven. Many truths have been covered up or modified by her, making it impossible for Zi Guang Zhenjun to see the whole picture.

So Zi Guang Zhenjun can only intercept and copy a piece of time fragments, turn it into a scroll, and let Qi Xuansu see it himself.

What Qi Xuansu can see is up to Qi Xuansu himself. As for why Zi Guang Zhenjun thinks Qi Xuansu can be unaffected, it should be related to the "Heart of the Longevity Stone". This thing is the culmination of witch cult and has the same origin as Yao Yueyan.

The behavior of Zi Guang Zhen Jun was like a statement without comment. Zi Guang Zhen Jun directly forwarded the original text to Qi Xuansu without any comment. As for how to understand it, it was Qi Xuansu's own business.

If he couldn't understand the original text, it was also Qi Xuansu's own business.

At this time, Tianshi told Qi Xuansu that you should study first, improve your cultural level, and then read the original text.

Qi Xuansu then figured out the intention of Zi Guang Zhen Jun.

This is a painting of a back-to-back portrait.

Although Yao Yueyan was facing away from Qi Xuansu, she turned her head and looked back at the same time, revealing a side face.

But unfortunately, even the side face was covered with a bronze mask, and the true face could not be seen clearly.

It can be seen that Yao Yueyan was wearing "Yin Yang Fairy Clothes", which was as black as ink, with shadows swimming, and the "Heaven Yang Earth Yin Candle Dragon Seal" was hung around her waist.

The background was the dark Lingshan, the broken and stagnant mountain, the thunder and lightning connecting the sky and the earth, the earth with gullies, and the doomsday-like sky.

Yao Yueyan was walking towards the Yaozu Palace on the top of Lingshan Mountain.

Qi Xuansu had tried to infuse divine power into the scroll before, and then the painting came alive.

In the painting, Yao Yueyan stretched out her hand and pressed on the bronze mask, pretending to take off the mask on her face, but she stopped abruptly just after revealing her chin. No matter how much divine power Qi Xuansu infused, she didn't move at all.

Now that Qi Xuansu is a pseudo-immortal, he tried to infuse divine power again.

This time, Yao Yueyan took off the beam, eyes, and forehead.

Qi Xuansu finally saw the true face of Yao Yueyan, the fourth-generation earth master.

For some reason, Qi Xuansu had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

But before Qi Xuansu could think deeply, Yao Yueyan in the painting turned around completely and looked directly at Qi Xuansu.

At this moment, she was no longer a silhouette in history, but a living person.

Yao Yueyan's eyes seemed to penetrate the long river of time, projecting from the past to the present, and fell on Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu felt great fear.

It was as if a hand was tightly grasping his heart. Even though he was a heart of stone and ruthless, he still felt the long-lost fear.

It must be admitted that Qi Xuansu was still afraid when he and "Qi Haoran" encountered the "inn" killer at Kunlun Pass, but after being installed with the "Heart of the Immortal Stone" by Qi Niang, the fear became less and less. Qi Xuansu was always able to remain calm in various situations. Even if he was afraid, it was relatively shallow. The word "fear" seemed to have become a nightmare in a distant dream, and as he opened his eyes and woke up, there was no trace.

Now, Qi Xuansu experienced fear again.

This fear is not the fear of facing a strong enemy, not the fear of facing death, not even the fear of facing the unknown, but pure fear, a most primitive and strongest emotion.

In other words, Qi Xuansu was not afraid of Yao Yueyan's great cultivation, Yao Yueyan's scheming, Yao Yueyan's cruelty, but simply afraid of Yao Yueyan as a person, even if she was just a painting now, she could not do anything to Qi Xuansu.

This is an instinctive fear, as if it comes from the nature of all things in the world that has evolved through eternity, just like mice are afraid of cats, engraved in their bones. It's like ordinary people seeing Luwu God, without knowing what Luwu God is, they will be heartbroken.

From Long Xiaobai's perspective, Qi Xuansu suddenly opened a scroll, first stunned for a while, with some confusion on his face, and then a little bit of realization, and then I don't know what he saw, and he actually showed an extremely horrified look.

This surprised Long Xiaobai.

These days, Qi Xuansu was preparing for class, and Long Xiaobai was not idle either. Through different people and different channels, he roughly figured out Qi Xuansu's past experience. After all, this was not a secret, and it was even a kind of honor that was widely publicized. Long Xiaobai found out easily.

In Long Xiaobai's opinion, Qi Xuansu was not a person who relied on nepotism to rise to power. He had real military exploits. Whether it was the battlefield of Fenglinzhou, the power field of Nanyang, or the later experience of the New World, it showed that Qi Xuansu was a daring person who dared to join in any excitement and take any risks. Without these merits, even if his father was the headmaster, he would not be able to rise so quickly.

It can be said that immortals can't scare Qi Xuansu.

Now, Qi Xuansu actually showed a look of horror. What on earth was in that painting?

At this moment, strong curiosity and fear of the unknown, two emotions intertwined in Long Xiaobai's heart, making her very entangled.

In the end, strong curiosity still prevailed.

After all, Long Xiaobai is also a very daring person. Normal people, or normal dragons, who dare to go directly into an unknown cave? Who dares to eat unknown elixirs when they are hungry? Who dares to run to the Wanxiang Taoist Palace to play with the Taoists? Who dares to learn the art of longevity under the nose of the Taoist master?

All these were done by Long Xiaobai.

Even an old dragon who has lived for a thousand years may not have such courage.

Long Xiaobai is a bit ignorant and fearless. If Xiao Yin is cut open, it must be black inside, so Long Xiaobai is a bit silly.

Just look at the things she did, none of them seem to be done by a normal person.

Xiao Yin was pretending to be stupid, but Long Xiaobai didn't need to pretend at all.

So when Long Xiaobai saw Qi Xuansu stiff, he carefully took the scroll from Qi Xuansu's hand.

Following Long Xiaobai's action, Yao Yueyan's action in the painting began to "go back in time", and she put on the mask again, returning to the posture of turning around but not yet turning around, leaving only a profile of a masked face.

Long Xiaobai took the painting and looked left and right. There was nothing strange about it! It was just a person wearing a mask and a black mountain. Apart from that, there was nothing else.

Why was Qi Xuansu so scared?

Could his past deeds be just bragging?

Regardless of what Long Xiaobai thought, she took the painting away and saved Qi Xuansu.

After a while, Qi Xuansu finally came to his senses and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, he said to Long Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, you did a good job. I didn't misjudge you. You can really take on the responsibility. At the critical moment, you can be relied on!"

Long Xiaobai was completely puzzled: "Huh?"

However, Long Xiaobai was not stupid enough to say something like "I didn't do anything", but chose to accept Qi Xuansu's praise. No matter what happened, the result was good.

Long Xiaobai raised the scroll in his hand again and asked, "Are you still looking at it?"

Qi Xuansu waved his hands repeatedly: "No."

If he looks at it again, someone will die.

Just now, Qi Xuansu was in fear, his mind was blank, and he couldn't even remember Yao Yueyan's face. He just remembered that she looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere.

Where had he seen her before?

Qi Xuansu had a headache.

He couldn't remember it at all.

In theory, after Qi Xuansu's improved qualifications through the inheritance of the scattered people, he could be said to have a photographic memory, which was also the reason for his rapid progress in cultural level now, but he just couldn't remember it. It was not because of his memory, but it should involve magic.

Could this be what Zi Guang Zhenjun said about obscuring the secrets of heaven?

In this way, the fourth generation of earth masters are too powerful. They are definitely not ordinary immortals. At the very least, they are quasi-first-tribulation immortals, and they may even be first-tribulation immortals.

The Yao family still has a deep foundation. No wonder they can come later and become a parallel existence with the Zhang family and the Li family.

You should know that before Xuansheng Zhongxing Daomen, the Zhang family and the Li family had been the dominant powers for many years, and at that time, the Yao family was not even a shadow. A tree cannot grow under a big tree, but the big tree of the Yao family grew between two big trees, squeezing out a piece of sky. It can be seen how powerful the Yao family is.

Dare to go against the Yao family? I think you are tired of living!

Qi Xuansu's mind popped up this sentence inexplicably.

Actually, it's not bad to be a member of the Yao family...

It's just that the role played by the Yao family in the whole thing is too suspicious. The more suspicious, the more hostile, and even Zhou Mengyao is just a thug of the Yao family. A high-level thug is still a thug.

It's no wonder that Pei Shenfu is so crazy, Yao Pei, Yao Pei, after all, Yao is in front of Pei.

Donghua Zhenren is unwilling to be a puppet transition of the Yao family. Can he succeed?

From this point of view, Qi Xuansu and Donghua Zhenren are really like-minded.

At this moment, Long Xiaobai interrupted Qi Xuansu's thoughts: "Are we still going to Yunmengze?"

"Yes, of course." Qi Xuansu came back to his senses.
