The Qin Dynasty opened the Hengqu Four Sentences, sweeping away all the schools of thought

"I've seen the saint."

As soon as Su Xuan and Yu Lingxin entered the gathering place, a man dressed in Miao costume came up to them, put his right hand on his chest and saluted respectfully.

Yu Lingxin nodded slightly, as if she was used to it, and introduced to Su Xuan, "This is the leader Yu Ye of our Yu Yuan clan. He is responsible for the daily patrols of the Shushan tribe. If there are any disputes in the tribe, he is usually asked to deal with them."

Su Xuan responded lightly, first glanced at Yu Ye calmly, then looked around.

The architectural style here is mostly stilt houses, with livestock and sundries raised on the ground floor, the middle floor for living, and the upper floor for storing grain.

Most of the residents are ordinary people, and Yu Yuan's guards patrol in groups of five. As far as he could see, there were only two groups of people.

"Saint, who is this?" Yu Ye asked, looking at Su Xuan, who was wearing different clothes and accessories.

"This is the distinguished guest I invited." Yu Lingxin's expression remained unchanged. "I have something important to discuss with the clan leader, so I won't chat with you any more."

As he said that, he rode Xiao Hei towards the center of the settlement.

All the guards of Yu Yuan that they met on the road saluted respectfully.

"We Shushan people believe in witches and worship nature. The most outstanding witches in each generation will be chosen as saints." Yu Lingxin gently stroked Xiao Hei, "I became a saint because I tamed Xiao Hei."

"Xiao Hei looks docile, but that's only in front of me. He doesn't have such a good temper when facing other people." She turned her head and looked at Su Xuan meaningfully. "Xiao Hei's real name is Black Leopard. He has lightning speed and is strong enough to compete with masters at the Grandmaster level."

Black leopard?

It was recorded in the Shanhaijing that within the North Sea there was a mountain called Youdu, from which the Black Water flowed out. On the mountain there lived a black bird, a black snake, a black leopard and a black tiger.

Su Xuan looked at Xiao Hei with a little surprise, his eyes filled with thought.

Before coming to Shushan, he had some knowledge about Shushan. What is a witch? A female witch is called a witch, and a male witch is called a shaman. In ancient times, the representative figures of witches and shamans were Nuwa and Fuxi.

The Shushan lineage, are they their descendants?

Could they be the descendants of Wu Geng and Bai Cai?

It makes logical sense to seal the three realms and let future generations guard them.

Under the guidance of Yu Lingxin, Su Xuan soon met Yu Xing, the patriarch of the Shushan clan.

After informing the guests of their identities and purpose of visit, and after some friendly exchanges, the guests were all happy and Su Xuan successfully entered the forbidden area guarded by the Yu Yuan clan for generations.

In the forbidden area, the visibility is extremely low due to thick fog, but flowers and green vines can be seen from time to time.

"This is a unique witchcraft of our Shushan clan. In the forbidden area, no one can see the whole picture. At most, they can only see the scenery within a few meters. If you don't know the specific direction, you will just go around in circles and be trapped to death." Yu Lingxin reminded, "And these flowers and green grass are the Gu array traps we set up. There are white snakes hidden inside. Once you touch them, your whole body will be moved, and you will be bitten by endless white snakes until you die."

Su Xuan looked forward intently, and the scene within a radius of hundreds of meters was within his sight.

Under normal circumstances, he can see scenes within a radius of several thousand meters.

With his strength, he was still limited. He thought that he could practice a pupil technique afterwards so that he would not have any shortcomings when encountering such a situation again.

As for attacks of this level, snake witchcraft had no effect on him.

The path that Yu Lingxin took was not a straight line, but an S-shaped arc, winding left and right. She wore silver jewelry, and the rings and bracelets rang. After a moment of silence, Su Xuan took the initiative to speak, "Have you ever thought about leaving Shushan and seeing the outside world?"

"Of course I have thought about it." Yu Lingxin answered without hesitation, and then sighed softly, "But protecting Shushan is also my duty. This is a responsibility that the Shushan Saint cannot escape."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will marry the Holy Son of my clan and will never leave Shushan for the rest of my life."

Su Xuan had seen the Holy Son she mentioned. When he met the patriarch of the Shushan clan, he was standing next to them. He was a tall and strong man, but the look he gave Su Xuan was somewhat unfriendly.

Su Xuan naturally noticed it and knew the reason, but he didn't take it to heart at all.

The identities, strengths, and status of the two are not equal at all, so why would they be jealous of each other?

If he wanted to take Yu Lingxin away, it would only take a word.

"Mr. Prime Minister, can you tell me about the outside world?" Yu Lingxin's expression was filled with a hint of longing.

"The world outside..." After thinking for a moment, Su Xuan talked about the customs of different countries and the various programs held during festivals, such as dragon boat dancing, Nuo opera, and fireworks. He then talked about some interesting stories in the martial arts world and court rumors. He did not shy away from talking about the people who were displaced and impoverished during the war.

Yu Lingxin became gradually fascinated by the listening without realizing it.

Before they knew it, the light became brighter, the fog dissipated, and a sacred tree that was towering into the clouds, with lush branches and leaves, winding down, appeared in sight.

The trunk is bright red all over, shining like agate, and the golden leaves are dazzling, just like gold leaves, just like the legendary jade tree.

Looking carefully, a divine bird with a golden crown, golden eyes and a graceful demeanor was combing its feathers among the branches of the trees.

"The sun is about to rise in the east, shining on the Fusang tree beside my threshold."

Is this the sacred Fusang tree and the three-legged golden crow?

Su Xuan sang "Nine Songs" softly, looking around carefully with curiosity in his eyes.

"In ancient times, the Fusang sacred tree could connect the three realms and help people realize their wishes." Yu Lingxin pointed to the circle in the middle of the trunk of the Fusang sacred tree, where there were three tracks. "These three directions represent the human world, the underworld, and the divine world. According to legend, Dayi once stood on it and shot the sun, breaking it. Since then, the three realms have been separated from each other and it is difficult to communicate."

"Most people in the world now spread this rumor, but it's not true. The reason why the three realms are isolated from each other is because of the existence of the formation seal. This is also the reason why our Yu Yuan clan has guarded this place for generations."

Upon hearing this, Su Xuan used the power of his soul to sense carefully and indeed found something strange. The formation used the Fusang sacred tree as the core of the formation, connecting heaven and earth as a barrier. If the outside world wanted to break the formation, it would have to overturn heaven and earth. The difficulty of this can be imagined.

Not to mention that the defensive power of the formation can absorb the attack force and become stronger day by day. After eight hundred years, I am afraid that no one can shake it.

But breaking it from the inside is much simpler. He only needs to destroy the structure of the formation to make it ineffective.

It is not difficult to do it with his strength.

After understanding the structure of the formation, Su Xuan used the Four Symbols Seal to further strengthen the formation.

It's like an added layer of insurance. As long as someone breaks the formation, he will know it immediately.
