Hidden moth

Chapter 286: Talking and Laughing Suddenly Seeing the Flying Divine Light

On the first day of the Qingming Festival holiday, He Kao and Huang Xiaopang went to the graves to pay homage to their ancestors.

On the second day of the Qingming Festival, they went to the company to work overtime again. The entire project team was very busy and there was work to be completed even on holidays.

When He Kao finished his work and was walking out, he met Mei Guyu outside the building. It was obvious that she was waiting for him.

"What's up?"

"You said you would treat me to a meal."

"No problem, we can do it now." He Kao agreed readily. It was just a meal.

Mei Guyu tilted her head and said, "I heard that when other elders from the clan hall came, you would personally cook for them at your home in Pugang Town."

The meaning of this sentence was clearly that he wanted to be treated like an elder. He Kao nodded and said, "Okay, then come early tomorrow at noon and help out."

This was not an exclusive treatment. In addition to several elders, he had also specially entertained Lao Qian, Xiao Pang and Wei Luo at his home... Anyway, there was no work tomorrow and Gao Xue'e was not in Qiyuan, so he might as well be free.

"Xiao Kao is having a dinner at home tomorrow. Count me in and I can help with the drinks." Fat Huang suddenly appeared from the building and, upon hearing their conversation, he stuck his head out to join in the fun.

Before He Kao could say anything, Mei Guyu shook her head and said, "No, I want to eat alone tomorrow. Manager Huang, please ask He Kao to treat you another time."

These words almost choked Xiaopang. Could the three words "eating alone" be used in this kind of situation, and why was it said so bluntly?

Fatty Huang looked at He Kao, then at Mei Guyu, and sniffed as if he was smelling something: "Then I won't disturb you two from drinking. It was just a joke. Actually, I have other things to do tomorrow."

He was just joking because he was going to Qihuang Lingyuan to pay a visit to his master tomorrow and wanted to take He Kao with him, but He Kao was abducted away by the girl first.

Returning home early that day, He Kao specially brought a musk deer leg and marinated it in advance, hoping it would taste even better the next day. After nightfall, he quietly went to Everest Base Camp and escorted Elder Gu to Longlin Slope.

In the early hours of the morning, he took the time to do another thing and retrieve something.

At noon on the third day of the Qingming Festival holiday, someone came to He Kao's house. It wasn't Mei Guyu. This person was wearing a very sexy long windbreaker with a hood, and the face hidden under the hood was Li Xiuyuan.

Half an hour later, Mei Guyu arrived.

Li Xiuyuan even walked out of the house to the front yard and greeted, "Are you here?"

Mei Guyu frowned slightly and said, "Elder Li, you are here too?"

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Xiao Kao's cooking skills are quite good, thanks to you, I'm here to have a meal today."

The two spoke quietly, so the neighbors probably couldn't hear them. Then they went inside and closed the door. With a master like Li Xiuyuan present, even if someone was ambushing and observing from a distance, they wouldn't dare to use their spiritual sense to investigate.

This meal was neither lunch nor dinner, it should be considered as afternoon meal, but it took quite a while to eat. When the meal was over, other families in the town had already started preparing dinner.

He Kao's voice was heard saying, "Have some time, both of you!" Then Li Xiuyuan and Mei Guyu came out.

At this time, the attack had actually already taken place in the Immortal Pot Cave Heaven. If it hadn't happened, according to the original plan, Master Danqiu and his disciples should have succeeded and secretly controlled the entire cave heaven.

Of course, no news can be heard at this moment, but for Xiaomeng, no news is good news.

After leaving He Kao's house, Li Xiuyuan asked, "Are we going back now?"

Mei Guyu shook her head and said, "I want to go to that amusement park."

Li Xiuyuan: "Do you still want to investigate that matter?"

Mei Guyu: "It's said that there was a big commotion over there that night, and so many disciples of the Shu Sect disappeared on the same day, and their whereabouts are still unknown. This isn't Elder Li's first day in Qiyuan, so hasn't he investigated again?"

Li Xiuyuan sighed: "If you want to go, then I will go with you."

The two walked out of Pugang Town slowly, took a shortcut across a small ridge extending from Baima Mountain, and came to the abandoned Happy Valley Amusement Park.

It's still the same place, just more depressed and run-down than it was a year and a half ago.

The sun gradually sets, and the evening breeze brings a hint of chill, making the wild grass rustle. Various large amusement facilities are rusted, and the buildings scattered around are like haunted houses.

If the amusement park had remained open and its facilities had been regularly maintained, it would still be operating normally today. The notice posted when it was closed only indicated that it was temporarily closed, giving the impression that it could be reopened.

But once it stopped operating and was left unattended, it wasn't long before all the facilities were scrapped. Dismantling it would have incurred additional costs, so it was left abandoned here. The massive Ferris wheel's main shaft had rusted and stopped rotating, and some of the cars had even fallen to the ground. Li Xiuyuan sighed as he gazed at the dilapidated scene, "That happened last October. It's been so long."

Mei Guyu said calmly, "Ordinary people don't often come here, so many traces are still there. In fact, if a great mathematician like Elder Jiang were to take a look around, he would be able to uncover many of the events that took place that day."

She paused, then continued, "Elder Jiang was in Qiyuan at the time, right in Pugang Town, yet he didn't say anything afterwards. Zhao Huanzhen, Yu Lianhong, Peng Xian, and the others are still missing, alive or dead."

Li Xiuyuan explained, "Elder Jiang may have seen something, but he probably thought it was better not to say it. Those who deserve death deserve it, and the innocent people who are still alive are the ones who need protection..."

Mei Guyu glanced at him out of the corner of her eye: "So, those people all deserved to die, and they're all gone now?"

Oh no, I almost let it slip just now!

The real Li Xiuyuan is currently fighting with someone in Xianhu Cave Heaven. The one who appears here is of course not him in person, but He Kao who has transformed into his appearance using Yin'esha.

The conversation just now also made He Kao break out in a cold sweat.

On that night in October of the previous year, when he left the amusement park, he simply cleaned up some traces, but the removal was definitely not thorough.

Mainly, he moved the bodies of the criminals deep into the air-raid shelter, and he also blew up the abandoned air-raid shelter.

It is almost impossible to find the person again, but if a great mathematician like Jiang Daozhen wants to calculate what happened that night based on the traces left here, he should be able to make a pretty accurate analysis.

At that time, He Kao's cultivation was still shallow and his knowledge was limited, so he thought that no one could find out. Later, he realized that this was not the case. The advanced magic had its own incredible powers.

After realizing this, he revisited the place, but found that the scene should have been cleaned up by an expert. Many other traces were still there, but the traces of him, Huang Xiaopang, and Gao Xue'e had disappeared.

Not only was the breath wiped out, but not even a footprint was left. It must have been done by an old man.

Mei Guyu's words today seemed to have a hidden meaning. He Kao was wondering what she meant when Mei Guyu continued, "Each of the seven great sects has a sacred artifact that protects their sect."

The topic change was so abrupt that He Kao couldn't help but be stunned, because he couldn't respond and it was difficult to ask, because he was playing the role of Elder Li at the moment and he should have known the answer.

Fortunately, Mei Guyu muttered to himself again: "The sacred artifact of our Danding Sect is called the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace."

He Kao finally got a chance to speak: "Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace is also called the Bagua furnace."

Mei Guyu: "Some say that the ancestor created such an alchemy furnace based on the Bagua furnace in mythology and legend."

He Kao shook his head slightly and said, "Journey to the West was written much later than the history of the Shu Sect. Perhaps someone heard that the Dan Ding Sect possessed this sacred artifact and made up such a legend."

Mei Guyu remained noncommittal about this speculation and continued, "Grand Elder Qi Nansheng is currently in seclusion refining the Pure Yang Pill. This pill is very difficult to refine, and if we had the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace, we would have a greater chance of success.

It's a pity that this sacred artifact was lost during the internal turmoil of the Shu Sect a thousand years ago, along with two of the eight Yin-Yang Wind and Fire Fans..."

Mei Guyu introduced the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace. She herself had never seen this artifact, but only knew about it through the records in the classics of the sect.

It is said that the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace has a unique function, which is the Eight Gates Wind and Fire Formation. The founder also used the profound principles of the Eight Gates Wind and Fire Formation to refine a set of eight Yin-Yang Wind and Fire Fans...

The Eight Gates Wind and Fire Formation was immensely powerful, but this artifact wasn't meant for combat, but rather for alchemy. If the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace were placed at the center of the formation, it could even harness the power of the entire cave to refine elixirs.

When not in use for alchemy, the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace also functions as a magical spatial artifact, capable of storing a wide variety of items. In ancient times, it was primarily used to store various processed alchemy ingredients, ensuring their effectiveness.

It was the first time that He Kao heard of a space artifact in reality, but he was not too surprised. Instead, he thought to himself that it really existed.

He often saw things like storage bags in novels, as if even the lowest-level so-called Qi Refining disciples could own and use them, but in reality, space artifacts were very rare, and to use one required at least a sixth-level great success cultivation level.

It seems that the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace is indeed infinitely useful and fully worthy of its status as a sect-guarding artifact. He Kao couldn't help but sigh, "It's such a pity that it's been left out in the world!"

Mei Guyu looked into the distance and said, "Although the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace has been lost for a thousand years, the Danding Sect still uses another inherited artifact called the Falling Rain Sword."

As they walked and talked, He Kao transformed into Li Xiuyuan, wearing a long hooded trench coat, looking a bit mysterious. Mei Guyu, on the other hand, was carrying a backpack. Since she was young, some people would believe she was a student who hadn't graduated yet.

There is also a stainless steel ruler inserted in the right side pocket of the backpack.

When she uttered the words "Falling Rain Divine Sword," He Kao suddenly received a divine thought, and then he watched in amazement as the steel ruler transformed into a streak of sword light and flew out...
