The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Xiangyang City, Guo Mansion.

Guo Jing had a good relationship with the brothers Lü Wende and Lü Wenhuan, who were the garrison commanders of Xiangyang, so he was treated quite well in Xiangyang.

Inside the Guo residence, Wu Dunru led Lu Yao and Yang Guo to the guest hall and then went to invite Guo Jing.

Since the Mongols have not launched a large-scale invasion of the Southern Song Dynasty, Guo Jing has relatively free time and often teaches the two brothers, Da Wu and Xiao Wu, martial arts at the Guo Mansion.

Soon, a man dressed in a dark yellow robe strode in.

This was the second time Lu Yao had seen Guo Jing.

"Young hero, I've heard you're Yang Guo's master. May I ask how that is?"

Guo Jing cupped his hands in greeting to Lu Yao, then looked at Yang Guo beside him and asked in confusion.

"Uncle Guo."

Yang Guo got up and went to Guo Jing, shouting loudly.

"Haha, Guo'er has grown so much!"

Guo Jing patted Yang Guo on the shoulder and laughed loudly.

"Master Guo, this is a long story. Let Guo'er tell you the details."

Lu Yao shook his head, intending to let Yang Guo tell his story first.

Upon hearing this, Yang Guo immediately began to tell Guo Jing about his experience in the Quanzhen Sect, speaking with tears streaming down his face and his expression full of grievance.

"Thanks to Granny Sun and my master for taking me in, otherwise I would have been bullied to death by those Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect!"

Yang Guo looked aggrieved and hated the Quanzhen Sect with a passion.

After hearing Yang Guo's words, Guo Jing fell silent for a moment.

"Alas! I never imagined that sending you to the Quanzhen Church would cause you such suffering. I am so sorry to your father."

Guo Jing sighed and looked at Yang Guo with heartache.

"I don't blame Uncle Guo."

Yang Guo knew that Guo Jing meant well, and he wasn't angry with Guo Jing.

"Thank you for taking care of my son, Young Master Lu. I am grateful."

Guo Jing solemnly cupped his hands to Lu Yao and expressed his gratitude.

"You're too kind, Master Guo. Guo'er is very talented, and I like him very much. It is a joyous occasion for our Ancient Tomb Sect to take in such a fine disciple."

Lu Yao responded politely.

"It is Guo'er's good fortune to be able to join the Ancient Tomb Sect."

Guo Jing smiled. He had heard of the Ancient Tomb Sect in the forbidden area behind the Quanzhen Sect and knew that it was not an evil sect, so he did not object to Yang Guo joining the Ancient Tomb Sect.

"I suppose my masters were also deceived. I will apologize to them when the opportunity arises."

Guo Jing felt a headache coming on when he thought of his masters from the Quanzhen Sect.

"In that case, I have other important matters to attend to, so I will not stay any longer."

Lu Yao stood up, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Guo Jing, and then took his leave.

Now that Yang Guo had been delivered, Lu Yao had to go about his own business.

"Young Master Lu, is there something urgent that needs your help? If there is anything I can do to assist you, please feel free to speak."

Guo Jing laughed heartily and asked Lu Yao.

Lu Yao was also taken aback upon hearing this. Guo Jing was indeed no ordinary person, given his high level of respect in the martial arts world.

"There's no need to trouble Master Guo; it's just a small matter."

Lu Yao chuckled and waved his hand.

"Since that's the case, I won't keep Young Hero Lu any longer. Guo'er! Come and bid farewell to your master."

Guo Jing nodded and said to Yang Guo, who was standing beside him.

Upon hearing this, Yang Guo quickly came over.

"Master, when will you come to see Guo'er?"

Yang Guo was still somewhat reluctant to part with Lu Yao, after all, Lu Yao had treated him quite well.

"Haha, I'll be traveling for a while. If fate allows, we'll meet again. You should visit your Granny Sun in the ancient tomb more often."

Lu Yao smiled and asked Yang Duo to go and visit Granny Sun.

"Farewell!"

Lu Yao cupped his hands in greeting to Guo Jing, then used his lightness skill to step out of the Guo residence.

Watching Lu Yao's departing figure, Guo Jing seemed lost in thought.

"Guo'er, your master is no ordinary person either."

Guo Jing patted Yang Guo on the shoulder and said with a sigh.

Guo Jing was very confident in his intuition; he had actually released a trace of his true energy to test Lu Yao.

But that wisp of true energy sank without a trace, indicating that Lu Yao's internal strength was not low, at least not much different from his.

"That's right! My master is very powerful."

Upon hearing this, Yang Guo couldn't help but raise his chin, his face full of pride.

......

Standing on a rooftop, Lu Yao turned back to look at the Guo residence, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Testing me? Interesting."

Lu Yao smiled lightly, jumped off the roof, and calmly walked towards the city gate of Xiangyang.

According to the original novel, Dugu Sword Tomb is located in the deep mountains near Xiangyang City.

However, there are many mountains and forests near Xiangyang City, and it would take a lot of time to search randomly.

After leaving Xiangyang City, Lu Yao slowly searched through the villages outside the city.

Describe the appearance of the Bosqu snake to the hunters in the village. This snake is golden all over, has fleshy horns on its head, moves like the wind, and is extremely difficult to catch.

Hunters who spend their lives hunting in the deep mountains will definitely remember seeing the Bosciutto snake in the wild.

a few days later.

Finally, hard work pays off, and Lu Yao learned the approximate location of the Bosqu snake from a hunter.

“Young man, that strange snake is not easy to deal with. It runs too fast and can cover several meters in the blink of an eye. You'd better not provoke it.”

Seeing that Lu Yao was young, the hunter couldn't help but speak up and offer some advice.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I understand."

Lu Yao smiled, in a very good mood.

We finally found out the whereabouts of the Bodhi Serpent, which means that the Tomb of the Lone Sword is also nearby.

After thanking the hunter, Lu Yao used his lightness skill to walk in the direction the hunter had indicated.

Deep in the forest, this place is already considered to be far from human habitation, with lush trees and overgrown weeds.

On a century-old tree, Lu Yao was squatting on the trunk, looking at the grass below.

A strange snake, golden all over and with fleshy horns on its head, was hunting.

Its prey was a wild rabbit eating weeds.

A flash of golden light appeared, and before the rabbit could escape, it was already bitten in the mouth of the Bodhi snake.

"The action was indeed swift."

Lu Yao, perched on the tree trunk, nodded in agreement. This Bodhi snake moved much faster than ordinary snakes; most hunters would turn tail and run if they encountered it.

Using his lightness skill, Lu Yao continued to dart deeper into the jungle.

More and more Bodhi snakes came into Lu Yao's view.

"Bah!"

A sharp and loud whistling sound came from the forest.

Lu Yao paused, looking in the direction from which the sound came.

"It's that giant eagle!"

Lu Yao couldn't think of any other bird of prey that could produce such a high-pitched howl.

Here, he can only be the invincible eagle.

Lu Yao's eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly moved closer to the source of the sound.

When Lu Yao saw the giant eagle, he was also shocked.

Unlike what you see on TV, the real-life giant eagle is truly awe-inspiring.

Its enormous size, over ten meters tall, was extremely imposing, and its sharp, fierce eyes made it look like a terrifying exotic bird.

Unfortunately, the eagle had a fleshy growth on its head, which blemished its majestic appearance.

The giant eagle's opponents were two enormous Bosqu snakes, whose golden scales were clearly visible, and whose fleshy horns on their heads had become keratinized and were extremely sharp.
