Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

The captain of the guards rubbed his eyes, his face full of fatigue, and the bloodshot in his eyes was particularly obvious in the dark night.

"What on earth did you do? That day, after His Majesty and the Imperial Master returned to the city, they both announced they were in seclusion. Both of them were covered in wounds, and the entire country's affairs were handed over to me."

Hu Qing was also stunned when he heard the words of the captain of the guards. He didn't expect that the emperor and the imperial teacher were also injured. What happened that day?

The tangled ball of thread in his head grew bigger and bigger, but he couldn't find the end of it, which made him more and more irritated.

"Then do you think that with my strength, I can injure two Nascent Soul masters?"

"That's not necessarily true. You are a miracle in yourself, with all sorts of plans constantly coming up. Sometimes I even suspect you're not from this world."

Gu Yang nodded in agreement. Yes, he was indeed not from this world.

Hu Qing rolled his eyes at Gu Yang and began to tell him what happened that day.

"The emperor and the imperial tutor wanted to kill me, but Zhu Pei survived. A fight ensued, and I escaped during the chaos. I don't know what happened next."

The captain of the guards looked at Gu Yang in surprise, and felt a little uneasy staring at him.

Hey! It's not me, the one staring at my dantian.

"Why would His Majesty want to kill you? Is it just because of the alley murder? Given how much His Majesty values you, he wouldn't target you like that."

"Captain of the Guards, have you ever heard a saying? A common man is innocent, but the jade ring is guilty."

These eight short words made the captain of the guards silent for a moment. How could he not understand such a simple truth?

"Hu~ Go ahead, leave Haitian City. I'll let you go this time."

The captain of the guards slowly exhaled, took out a mask from his storage ring, threw it to Gu Yang, and turned his back.

"Be more discreet next time. I've been sensing your presence since you entered the city, and you don't even know how to change yourself."

Gu Yang touched the cold mask in his hand, which was shaped like a cicada's wing, and his heart was burning with joy. This was a treasure.

Ah Qing is really amazing. With just a few words, she made a man give up a treasure.

"Thank you, Captain of the Guards, for your hard work."

At Hu Qing's signal, Gu Yang saluted the captain of the guards, and the two of them walked around him and went out.

As the two were about to leave the alley, the voice of the chief guard came from behind:

"Hey, please show your true face to me next time."

Hu Qing stopped suddenly and continued to walk outside with Gu Yang. The sky in the distance began to show a fish belly light.

early morning.

Sun Dajun opened the gate and prepared to find a doctor to get some medicine for his mother. In the second half of the night yesterday, his mother's cough became more and more severe.

He looked at the hawker nearby and prepared to buy some breakfast for his mother. As soon as he walked out, he smelled a hint of blood in the cool morning air.

It's strange. Who would kill a pig so early in the morning? It's not even the New Year yet, right?

Thinking of this, Sun Dajun decided to go back and close the gate of the courtyard. His mother hated the smell of blood the most, and he couldn't let her condition get worse.

Turning around, a touch of white was attached to the door, fluttering in the cool morning breeze, like a white dove dancing in the wind.

Sun Dajun curiously took the paper off. There were only four simple words on it:

"Grow up in peace."

His eyes were a little red and his nose began to twitch unconsciously. He recognized the handwriting, which was the same as that of the book "Zen and Amusement Park Maintenance Technology".

Sun Dajun looked around and found that there were indeed fewer inquiring eyes, and even the vendors selling goods around him were fewer.

He understood everything at once. He folded the paper and placed it on his chest, feeling the warmth of his master.

Sunset at the foot of Mountain.

Gu Yang was walking up the mountain panting, and the bottom of the branch he was holding had been worn flat.

"Ah... Ah Qing, I say, where should we go to retreat? Why don't we explore the ruins at the foot of the mountain?"

Hu Qing was floating in front, constantly looking around, alert to any sudden monsters.

"Let's go to the fifth passage. We already have the key. It's safer to retreat there."

"Oh……"

The two came to the cave again. When passing the turning character, Hu Qing used his soul power to knock off a piece of stone wall with characters on it. He held it in his hand, but there was no reaction, even after injecting spiritual power into it.

Gu Yang looked at the broken stone wall, went outside to catch an ant demon, and threw it at the corner of the passage.

A golden light flashed, and the ant demon was actually knocked away, falling far away and smashing to the ground with its teeth missing.

"Ah Qing, this stone wall is still usable. It seems that each character has a different function. Even if two are missing, it won't be a big problem."

Hu Qing nodded in agreement. Based on the current known conditions, Gu Yang's analysis was very thorough.

The two continued along the passage and came to the big cave. The place was still covered with dust, but all the ghost-faced spiders had disappeared, even the sacs hanging on the cave wall were taken away.

Walking on the soft ground, the two walked towards the fifth passage and soon arrived in front of the gate.

Gu Yang looked at the round hole and immediately understood how to use it.

He summoned the third fragment from his dantian and held it in his hand, feeling a cold touch from his palm.

The third fragment happened to be a cylinder, and was about the same size as the one on the door.

Gu Yang directly inserted the third fragment into the hole. After a vibration, fine dust fell from the top of the passage and landed on his head.

The stone door opened with a "click" and then the fragments popped out. After Gu Yang put them into his dantian, he followed Hu Qing inside.

Gu Yang took out a night-shining pearl and held it in his hand. The faint light was enough for the two of them to see what was around them.

This is a downward passage. There are stone bricks step by step under the feet. The four sides have been chiseled extremely smooth by some object. The whole passage is circular.

There are beads appearing at regular intervals above the head, which should be the beads that absorb dust.

But this time Gu Yang did not hesitate. If he had dug the cave down in one go, it would have been a waste of time.

The two of them didn't know how long they had been circling as they kept spiraling downwards. Gu Yang felt a little nauseous and wanted to vomit just by looking at the stairs.

Soon, the road ahead disappeared and was replaced by an exquisite screen. When the screen was opened, a square cave was revealed.

The two men walked closer to observe and saw two holes on one wall, one large and one small. They didn't know what they were used for.

There were some birds and beasts in front of the screen, but judging from their appearance, they should be monsters.

The leading monster had a stronger aura, as if it could fly out through the screen and bite the two of them to death.

The monster had a head like a dragon, a shape like a horse, a size like a deer, a tail like an ox, colorful hair patterns on its back, yellow hair on its belly, its feet stepped on auspicious clouds, and it roared to the sky.

The two of them were fascinated by the screen; the monsters depicted on it were so detailed.

Gu Yang waited for Hu Qing to put it into the storage ring after he finished looking at it. This kind of good thing should be left for the two of them to observe carefully.
