Chapter 554: The Secret of the Underground Cage (2)
Fortunately, Xuan Ying did not notice Chu Xiaomu's expression and said, "I entered this place by chance. At that time, Feng Yan was the only one living in this cave, and he was trapped by strange stone chains and soul-suppressing nails. These pictures must have been drawn by someone who forced that ancient spirit to draw them."
"This stone cave looks like it's two or three hundred years old. Maybe Feng Yan was locked up for too long and had nothing to do, so he carved these things." Chu Xiaomu's heart was pounding and his thoughts began to become confused.
Xuan Ying glanced at Chu Xiaomu and said, "Definitely not. That person obviously wanted to force him to tell him some secret, but this ancient spirit Fengyan's voice was unclear and his mental state seemed to be problematic. I guess the people who imprisoned him had to force him to draw these vague images in an attempt to find some clues."
"That person has gathered you and the Emperor Huangwu in Jinyang City. What else is he looking for?"
"I guess it's to find the three-banner flag and the lamp in the saint's hand." Xuanying's voice was low and calm, as if stating a truth that had already been established.
"So, someone really wants to control the descendants of you three flag owners. What is his purpose in doing this?"
"Xiao Mu, do you know that my Force has made great progress in the past three years? As for my second brother, Huang Wu Bao Guan, his Huang Wu Soul Locking Seal is unrivaled in the world. It is said that after it is fully cultivated, it is no less than the Seventh Realm Force, and can even balance all the spiritual powers in the world?"
Chu Xiaomu was surprised. He didn't expect that Huang Wu Baoguan's Soul Locking Seal could be so powerful after practicing it to a deep level. He said, "I see. If he has you as his helpers, can he do whatever he wants? Fortunately, there are only you and Huang Wu Zhangdian in Jinyang City. I hope that King Yu has no bloodline left in the future."
Xuanying did not answer him.
"Have you found out who this person is?"
Xuanying shook his head and said, "According to my guess, Jin Lier might be related to this matter."
"She? She's just an ordinary person, how can she be related to this matter?"
"Xuan Youzhu said that she is probably investigating the whereabouts of the three banners..."
"Shenwu Bumie killed all the evil demons in the world, but unfortunately his temperament changed drastically later, and he turned from a righteous path to an evil path. He also put some secret words on the bloodlines of your Xuan, Yu, and Huangwu clans. This sounds very evil. She...she speaks and acts like a straightforward man. How can she be associated with such a thing?"
Xuan Ying snorted and said, "Although Jin Li'er is young, she is quite scheming. You must not underestimate her. Perhaps... there is a very powerful master hiding behind her."
"Are there any more masters in Jinyang City? I thought there was only the Sword Master..." Chu Xiaomu couldn't help but ask.
"My master would never have anything to do with this matter. Firstly, Jin Li'er and him were fighting openly and secretly and were not on good terms. Secondly, he was the one who killed the ancient spirit."
The two thought of the people around Jin Li'er. Although Zhang Qianyuan was a high martial artist, he was stubborn and eccentric, and he was not a very powerful master. Chang Lun and Gong Shukang were even less likely. The Sun Tzucao behind him was a scholar who did not know martial arts and had no spiritual power...
After pondering for a while, he still couldn't figure out who was behind Jin Li'er. What methods did this person have to imprison the ancient spirit in this strange place and force him to carve such a large picture on the wall.
According to the current situation, that person is indeed after the three-banner flag of the immortal god, or he may have other bigger plans.
The two men left the valley, passed through the winding Bawang Stone Forest again, and rode back to the city.
Chu Xiaomu said goodbye to Xuanying and returned to the guest room of the Phnom Penh Guesthouse.
During the days when Chu Xiaomu was initially selected as the Golden Captain, Huang Wu Baoguan invited him, Jinglan and Xiaoying to live with him, saying that his Tianhui Garden had a quiet environment, several vacant rooms, and servants to serve them, so eating and living there would be much more convenient than staying in a guest house.
Jinglan declined politely, saying that things in Jinyang City had been almost done and she would be returning to Qingyuan in a few days, so it would be inconvenient to disturb the peace and tranquility of Huangwu Palace.
Huang Wu Baoguan smiled and said, "Brother Lin, what are you talking about? I feel so bored living alone in such a big garden. I would love for you to come and keep me company. How can you say that you are disturbing me?"
Xiaoying also hugged Jinglan's arm and said, "Brother, just agree to it. We have been living in the guesthouse for so many days. There are only three rooms and a few people coming and going. It's boring. Do you know that there are many butterflies in Brother Huangwu's garden? It's fun."
Chu Xiaomu knew that Xiaoying had always loved butterflies, and the garden of Huangwu Baoguan, which was full of butterflies, was indeed very attractive to her.
Jinglan looked at Chu Xiaomu and said, "Your second brother is now the Grand Commandant of Jinyang City. You should ask him first and hear his opinion."
Xiaoying immediately came over and hugged Chu Xiaomu's hand, and asked with a smile: "Second brother, second brother, tell me quickly, should we go to live at Brother Huangwu's house for a while?"
Chu Xiaomu looked at Jinglan's expression and found that she seemed to dislike the position of Huangwu Baoguan. He couldn't offend her because of Xiaoying. After thinking for a while, he said, "I just became the Jinwei of Jinyang City, and I am living in the home of Brother Huangwu. This will definitely arouse the suspicion of the Jindao Sect or General Xuan. They might think that I got the position of Jinwei by colluding with Brother Huangwu. This... this is not good for everyone..."
Jinglan said, "That's exactly the reason. Your second brother has so many things to do. He just became a Jinwei, so he can't let anyone talk about him."
Huang Wu Baoguan smiled and said, "Don't worry, the people of Jinyang City won't be so unreasonable. That day, Lin Jinwei defeated Zhou Tenghu and Shi Yuantai in succession under Wuhuang Tower, and my eldest brother surrendered. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. He won this Jinwei in an upright manner. How could he have colluded with me?"
Xiaoying said, "That's right. Second brother is so powerful that even if Zhou Tenghu, Shi Yuantai, and You Ganzhan come together, he will definitely win!"
Huang Wu Baoguan laughed and said, "How can such a capable person condescend to live in such a shabby guesthouse? Although my Tianhui Garden is not as good as your Tiankun Castle, it is also famous in Jinyang City..."
Xiaoying pulled Chu Xiaomu's sleeve and said, "Second brother, eldest brother, please agree to it soon. I want to stay here for a few more days."
Chu Xiaomu frowned and couldn't help but said, "Xiaoying, have you forgotten the important matter we had in Jinyang City?!"
Xiaoying pouted and said, "It's just a little bit...what's the big deal!" After all, she didn't dare to say the word "food and fodder".
Jinglan also stood up and said, "Third sister, I think you don't need to ask your second brother anymore. Not only will he not agree to live here, I won't agree either!"
Xiaoying pouted and almost cried.
Huang Wu Baoguan was very unhappy to see that his invitation had caused the three siblings to become upset, so he stopped talking.
