Two treasure maps

Led by Master Qingyue, Hong Hu and Hua Xiangu left the mysterious barrier. They did not choose to directly follow the traces of the Guo clan, but quietly came to the Silver Forest deep in the Silver Mountain. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, sprinkling on the ground, as if covering the Silver Forest with a layer of golden gauze.

Master Qingyue casually took out three cushions and a round table and motioned for the two to sit down. Hong Hu and Hua Xiangu looked at each other and understood that after Jiangshan left, their direct superior had become the majestic and unfathomable Master Qingyue. They did not dare to disobey him and sat down respectfully.

Fairy Flower took out a set of exquisite tea sets, a bottle of flower dew and a box of flower tea from her sleeve. She poured the tea skillfully, and the fragrance of the tea filled the air, refreshing the heart. Master Qingyue and Hong Hu took a sip, a hint of satisfaction flashed in their eyes, and they nodded and praised, "Good tea!" Hong Hu sniffed the tea fragrance, intoxicated by it, and exclaimed, "It smells so good."

Fairy Hua smiled and said, "Thank you two for your kindness." Then, she looked at Celestial Master Qingyue and asked, "Celestial Master, what are our plans next?"

Master Qingyue put down his teacup, frowned slightly, and looked at the two of them with deep eyes. He said slowly: "Hong Hu, what do you want?"

Hong Hu groaned for a moment and said, "I plan to follow Guo Yangli. After all, since Guo Lin has revealed his true identity, there will be constant trouble in the future. When you need help, just let me know."

Tianshi Qingyue raised his eyebrows, as if he saw through Hong Hu's thoughts, and asked: "Hong Hu, do you want to avoid this storm and live alone?"

Hong Hu shook his head and smiled, "No, no, I just don't want to get too involved."

Fairy Flower sneered and said, "You just want to hide away. Guo Yangli has no direct relationship with Guo Lin's family, and they may not live together in the future. You followed her just to avoid the storm in the center and wait for the benefits in the future."

Hong Hu was not annoyed. He just drank a sip of the fragrant flower tea and said, "The fairy with the treasure map of heaven was born in the wrong body. Master Shang Tian and you are going back to heaven to maintain the orthodoxy of heaven. However, we are just demon cultivators and cannot go to heaven. Of course, we have to wait for the treasure map to appear in the world before making a choice."

After Hong Hu's words fell, the atmosphere of the entire Yinlin seemed to solidify a little. The confidence and provocation in his words made Hua Xiangu frown, and ripples appeared in her heart.

She sneered, a mocking arc appeared on the corner of her mouth, but her heart was in turmoil. Bringing the treasure map to the wrong place? Such a statement sounded ridiculous to her. As a demon cultivator who had practiced for many years, she knew that reincarnation was the most mysterious thing in the world. How could there be such a big mistake?

But Hong Hu's attitude forced her to re-examine the issue. The certainty and confidence in his words made her start to wonder, is there really a secret that she doesn't know? She glanced at Master Qingyue, who was drinking tea steadily and didn't seem to have any intention of participating.

Hua Xiangu was full of contradictions. On the one hand, she didn't want to believe Hong Hu's words, but on the other hand, she couldn't completely deny it. She thought to herself that if what Hong Hu said was true, then there might be a deeper secret behind the whole operation.

She looked at Hong Hu deeply, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. How many secrets did this companion who had been hiding in the dark still have? What exactly did he want to do?

Although Hua Xiangu was full of doubts, she showed no sign of it on her face. She sneered and retorted, "Hong Hu, do you think I will believe you if you say that? The treasure map of the heaven is a treasure of the heaven, how could it be easily reborn in the wrong body? You believe such a joke?"

Seeing that Fairy Hua seemed to be really unaware of this matter, Hong Hu sneered and said, "What? You still don't admit it? Do you really think that we followed you into Li Jing'an's secret realm without knowing anything?" His eyes glanced at Taoist Qingyue who was leisurely drinking tea on the side.

Unexpectedly, before Master Qingyue could react, Fairy Hua slammed the table and said angrily: "I didn't know that you joined us with evil intentions!"

Hong Hu said calmly, "What do you mean by harbouring evil intentions? Don't say it so harshly. We just found it strange and did some investigation. We found out that it was actually the Queen Mother of Heaven who was afraid that her son would suffer in the mortal world, so she ordered her maidservant Fuyuan to go down to the mortal world with the treasure map to give her son a life of wealth and luxury. Who would have thought that someone would intercept her halfway. Now that you have all gone down to the mortal world, aren't you trying to make things right?"

Fairy Hua didn't expect Hong Hu to know the whole thing so thoroughly. She couldn't help but look at Master Qingyue, wanting to know how to deal with it. Master Qingyue pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Since you have investigated so thoroughly, why do you have to follow us and obey our orders?"

Hong Hu's tone softened, and he said, "Why else? Of course, I don't know how to take out the treasure map, or how to unfold it. Although the heavens have declined, their heritage still exists. It is really difficult for us to crack the methods of your heavens."

Master Qingyue picked up the teacup, took a sip, frowned and thought deeply. After a moment, he suddenly realized and asked, "Are you a disciple of Master Tongtian?"

Hong Hu said respectfully: "How dare I call myself a disciple of the master? I just got the master's mind method and the spirit of cultivation."

Hua Xiangu's heart was like a raging sea. She thought she knew enough about this operation and was fully prepared, but Hong Hu's words were like a huge rock thrown into the calm lake of her heart, stirring up ripples.

She was shocked and even a little angry. She had never thought that the companion she had always trusted would actually hide such a deep secret. The identity of being a disciple of Master Tongtian was both strange and terrifying to her.

At the same time, she also felt a sense of fear. If Hong Hu was really the spirit of Jiejiao, wouldn't their actions be exposed to the other party from the beginning? Wouldn't all their previous plans and preparations become a joke?

However, what made her even more uneasy was that Master Qingyue didn't seem surprised by all this. His calmness and smile made her feel an inexplicable pressure. She began to wonder how much Master Qingyue knew and what he was hiding.

Amidst these complex emotions, Hua Xiangu's heart began to struggle. She wanted to escape from this complicated situation. Her brain seemed unable to think of so many things. She had always just followed Jiang Shan's orders. After all, she was not smart enough and could not make such a big decision on her own.

Finally, she took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner turmoil. She decided to put aside these doubts and anxieties for the time being and complete her task first. As for other matters, she would leave them to those who could solve them.

Tianshi Qingyue bowed and said, "So you are a disciple of Jiejiao. I am so sorry for your disrespect!"

Hong Hu nodded slightly and said, "Since everyone is speaking frankly, let's get straight to the point."

Tianshi Qingyue nodded slightly and said, "It's very simple. You are still a guard. Just do what you want."

Hua Xiangu sighed and said, "I'd better go find Zhao Ying. After all, if I stay with her, I can directly participate in many things."

Hong Hu frowned and said, "Aren't you going to tell me something?"

Master Qingyue smiled and said, "Haven't you already found out everything? Why do you need me to tell you anything?"

Hong Hu's heart trembled. He felt that he had spoken too early. These were just their speculations and might not be the truth. However, he knew that under the current circumstances, neither Qingyue Tianshi nor Hua Xiangu could reveal more important information. He could only secretly record all this and slowly verify it later.
