Chapter 354 The Old Eunuch Who Walked There! It's raining!
Outside the gates of the Great Abyss Imperial City.
All the civil and military officials, including the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, gathered at the main gate to wait.
And the one leading the group was the newly enthroned Emperor Xiao Wu.
Dressed in a royal robe and wearing a crown, his face was solemn!
The common people and cultivators passing by also stopped voluntarily and waited silently.
About half an hour later, footsteps were heard coming from inside the empty doorway.
Some people looked up and saw a tall figure wearing a straw hat and mask walking out step by step.
It was Chen Fan!
Seeing this scene, his lips curled into a smile, yet his eyes remained indifferent.
He thought to himself that this was all Emperor Jianwen's idea, and that his purpose was to let the Qingyun Sect know that he had left Dayuan!
Chen Fan didn't care about this.
He walked out of the gate step by step and soon arrived in front of Emperor Wu!
"Father...I'm here waiting for you to come back!"
Xiao Wu's eyes were slightly red, and his face was full of worry.
"That's too cheesy..." Chen Fan said with a squinted eye.
"They're gone..."
After saying this, Chen Fan walked past Emperor Wu and all the civil and military officials, heading towards the Qingyun Sect.
Perhaps his departure was different from what everyone imagined; he truly "walked" step by step!
After witnessing this scene, Emperor Wu seemed to understand something.
He wasn't in a hurry; he simply stood there watching his master walk away into the distance!
Half an hour later, Chen Fan's figure disappeared on the official road.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Wu's lips curled up and he said:
"Return to the palace!"
As Emperor Wu left, the expressions of the onlookers—cultivators and commoners—varied.
They were too afraid to make a sound just now, but now they're all talking louder than the last!
"This... the Ninth Prince is actually walking to the Qingyun Sect... how long will that take?!"
"Who knows... This is interesting... I knew it wouldn't be that simple. Looks like this is going to be interesting!"
"Hahaha! The Qingyun Sect is at least two or three thousand miles away from the Great Abyss. It would probably take ten days to half a month to walk there!"
"Let's go... let's go for a drink... Lord Da Yuan is truly a remarkable person..."
……
On the official road in the distance.
With his keen senses, Chen Fan naturally heard it clearly.
He simply smiled, seemingly unconcerned, and continued walking forward step by step.
As the saying goes, "If you can't take the first step, you can't travel a thousand miles." Reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles are the principles that Chen Fan learned from books!
Was he wrong?
He did nothing wrong!
With his hands behind his back, Chen Fan smiled, overwhelmed with emotion, a sense of peace washing over him…
……
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the main hall of the Qingyun Sect.
Qingyi glanced at the secret letter that had been delivered, her eyes filled with indifference.
He has been busy negotiating with the Wang family lately and has no time to deal with anything else.
So much so that only today did Qingyizi remember the matter of Dayuan.
He frowned and looked at Aokiko sitting below him, saying:
"Where did that eunuch go...?"
Upon hearing the question, Aokiko gave a bitter smile.
He, who had been having people follow him, spoke up:
"Reporting to Master, that eunuch has been traveling on the road, stopping frequently, and has only covered less than a hundred li in the past three days. He is currently resting at an inn..."
"You bastard!" the man in green robes roared.
"This old eunuch is playing a trick on us!"
"Then... Master..." Qingmuzi suggested.
"Why don't you go and kill him?"
Aokiko was taken aback, then shook her head slightly.
He realized that this old eunuch's cultivation was unfathomable, and he was definitely not someone he could kill casually!
After all, even someone like Qingfengzi, who was at the late stage of Core Formation, had been killed, so he naturally wouldn't take that risk.
Moreover, he has too many things to do in the sect right now, and he simply can't spare the time.
After much deliberation, Qingyizi could only grit his teeth and say:
"Fine... the Ancestor gave him a month... there's still plenty of time, let him be!"
"Yes... Master!" Aokiko nodded, then turned and left!
After the people left, the hall returned to silence.
The man in green, his face pale, sighed and followed them toward the back of the mountain.
Upon arriving at the ancestor's secluded cave, he slightly clasped his hands and said:
"Ancestor... everything is almost ready..."
The words had barely left his mouth!
The Taoist Qinglian appeared quietly with his hands behind his back.
His face was obscured as he said coldly:
"I understand... I saw what the Wang family sent... The outer realms are actually quite similar to our place, the only difference... is probably this seal..."
If he gets out, it will indeed be of great benefit to us. Let him be…”
Yes!
Qingyizi nodded, then turned and left.
After the person left, the Green Lotus Daoist's body solidified.
With a cold expression on his face, he took out a map from his hand!
It is faintly visible that the division of major forces in the Southern Region is clearly depicted above.
Meanwhile, in the royal territory of the Great Yu Cultivation Kingdom, a new sect called Qingyun Sect appeared.
After glancing at it twice, the Qinglian Daoist turned around and said:
"Senior brothers... the Wang family is right, this seal is tantamount to binding our destiny... With our talents, breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is not difficult... being trapped in this sealed place is indeed a waste..."
As soon as Qinglian Daoist finished speaking, there was no response from the other two cave dwellings in the secluded cultivation area.
He sighed, unfazed, and quietly disappeared...
……
Inside the post station.
It started to drizzle.
Chen Fan smiled and then returned to the bed.
It is a rule established by our ancestors not to travel on rainy days.
He casually picked up a book and began to read it with great interest.
This is the logbook of the post station.
The document clearly records everything that happened in Dayuan from the founding of the country by Emperor Taiyuan to the ascension of Emperor Wu.
Although it's a bit hasty, it's much more authentic than the official histories in the palace!
This included matters such as the Yongle Emperor's crown prince's licentious behavior in the harem, which were all clearly recorded by the authorities.
However, the official history of the palace makes no mention of it!
No wonder Chen Fan didn't want to look at it after just a couple of glances; that's where the problem lay!
An hour passed quickly.
As the rain outside stopped, Chen Fan put the books away.
He stretched with his eyes half-closed, then got up and went out.
Squeak...
Pushing open the door, a gentle breeze wafted in, giving one a refreshing feeling.
With a smile on his face, Chen Fan walked step by step onto the official road.
Behind him, the long-closed, overgrown inn had returned to its deserted state.
We traveled along the way, stopping and starting frequently.
Chen Fan was quite relaxed.
He seemed to be there for sightseeing and was in an exceptionally pleasant mood.
Even if he occasionally encounters a couple of bandits, Chen Fan will greet them with a smile, and then draw his sword to kill them!
We kept walking like that, and it got dark very quickly!
After arriving at a small town, Chen Fan stopped.
Looking up, the town's archway bears the three characters "Jingdezhen".
Chen Fan, who seemed to have heard the name somewhere before, scratched his head and followed them into Jingdezhen.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that after dark, every household in the town had already closed their doors!
Only a few houses were still brightly lit with candles, and some even had the words "inn" written on them.
After finding an inn called Tongfulou, Chen Fan settled in.
He ordered two ounces of liquor and a plate of peanuts, and ended up sitting by the window late at night, enjoying a quiet drink!
Just then, a light rain started falling outside the window!
The gentle drizzle made Chen Fan unable to resist touching it with his hand.
Perhaps the rain was too cold, he sighed:
"Rain falling from the sky is life... falling to the ground is death, and the process in between is the life of rain... This is..."
