Chapter 834: Why not learn from Zhang Wuji?
Mo Cheng was frowning at this time, wondering what went wrong.
The reason why he behaved like this was that the Three Immortals Yunping gave him a task, or a commission.
"Seniors, do you want me to escort Miss Shen to [Nanli Daoyu]?"
Why would an escort mission be issued out of the blue?
"That's right." The speaker was Shen Xueqi's master, Master Wang Han. "I wonder if Mo Cheng has ever heard of [Eastern Wasteland Cloud Screen]?"
East Wasteland Cloud Screen?
Just when Mo Cheng wanted to say that although he was a student of Jixia University, he was actually unlearned, the scattered fragments of the body suddenly combined and formed a small memory.
It's more like a kind of knowledge than a memory.
Donghuang Yunping is a group of mountains located in the easternmost part of the country. The peaks are towering into the clouds and are continuous like a barrier, hence the name Yunping.
This kind of landform was not man-made. Legend has it that immortals used their great magical powers to forcibly raise mountains from the area that was once a plain.
At the same time, the East Wasteland Cloud Screen is also a kind of barrier, but what exactly is it used to protect against...
It is not written in the textbooks of Jixia Academy.
"It is said that immortals used their supreme magical powers to raise mountains from the ground. I have read some about this in books on geography, but they were not detailed."
"The East Wasteland Cloud Screen is the barrier of the East Pole Land, used to resist..."
Master Wang Han paused for a moment and shook his head. “You don’t know what the East Wasteland Cloud Screen is trying to resist at this moment. If you are interested, you can go to the academy and ask for advice.”
Obviously, the thing that Donghuang Yunping wanted to resist was some kind of [sensitive content]. The pause of Master Wanghan just now was probably because he had received some kind of warning.
It seems that someone is unwilling to spread the information about what Donghuang Yunping is resisting.
So this information cannot be circulated. Is it some kind of consensus, or is it... it cannot be said?
There are some things about Donghuang Yunping that cannot be known to unqualified people, as problems may arise if they know them.
Mo Cheng kept the question silently in his heart. He knew that even if he asked, all he would get was a riddle.
"The guards of Donghuang Yunping have to be replaced every once in a while. Now it's our turn. I originally planned to take Xueqi to Donghuang Yunping to see it for myself, but..."
Master Wang Han paused for a moment, then asked again, "Do you know what the Lonely Star Tribulation Evil is?"
Mo Cheng nodded, "I know a thing or two."
When he was a child, his grandfather's friend wanted to tell his fortune, but it ended in an unpleasant ending. Since then, the young Mo Cheng has been very curious about the box of ancient books. Whenever he had free time, he would go to the sorcerer's house to take a look at them.
There were actually a few opportunities for Mo Cheng to take one or two books and read them when the other party was not paying attention. The content was obscure and difficult to understand, and Mo Cheng could not understand it at all, but he did remember the explanations of several destinies in it.
Gu Chen Jie Sha, this thing can be better understood by Mo Cheng in a way that is to sing it directly.
The rain splashed on my clothes and I dared not approach it, and it flowed like a river and disturbed my heart...
To put it in a more familiar term, it is the lonely star of destiny.
After growing up a little, Mo Cheng knew what this word meant, and finally understood why his grandfather didn't say a word and just threw the porcelain tea cup at him.
This word is especially taboo for elderly people.
"Xueqi's life force is backfiring, and the evil spirit of Guchen Jiesha is erupting. Now she is not suitable to go to Donghuang Yunping. But we can't send her back to the cave. Donghuang Yunping's rotation rules are strict and cannot be changed without authorization. So I can only ask you to send Xueqi to [Nanli Daoyu]. I have sent a message to Xueqi's senior sister, asking her to take care of her."
"We won't let you work for nothing, this..."
Master Wanghan took out a long sword, the sword light was shining like a pool of autumn water. Even though he didn't know much about equipment, Mo Cheng could see that this was a good sword.
"Master, this is..."
Shen Xueqi, who was standing by, saw this and was interrupted just as she was about to speak, "It's just a sword that has been used before."
As he spoke, Master Wang Han looked at Mo Cheng, "Xueqi has been practicing with me in the mountains since she was a child. She rarely sets foot in the human world. I am worried about letting her go alone. And I am not going to hide it from you that I am also worried that the lonely star will break out again during the journey, so someone must be able to watch her."
"This sword is called [Liu Shui], one of the [Nine Abyss Famous Swords], and it is also the sword I used in my early years. If you escort Xue Qi to [Nanli Daoyu], this sword will be yours, okay?"
Mo Cheng took the Flowing Water Sword with both hands and said, "I will definitely send Miss Shen to the [Nanli Daoyu], but please do not mention the gift of the sword again. I will use this as a guide for you on the way. When we get there, Miss Shen will take me back. Is that okay?"
When touching the [Flowing Water Sword], the system did not prompt for transformation, which means that this sword could not be used as equipment.
And judging from Shen Xueqi's reaction, this sword obviously has a lot of commemorative significance to Master Wanghan, so there is no need to take away something that is useless to him but has great significance from someone else.
As for why Mo Cheng took on the escort mission, the reason was very simple, because there was movement on his task panel.
[Mission: I don’t regret Zhongzi crossing my wall]
[Young man, with high aspirations, for whom would he make such a promise worth a thousand gold coins? ]
[Inexplicably arrived, inexplicably encountered enemies, and finally there was an inexplicable escort mission. 】
[This journey to the new world is still full of mysteries for you. 】
[But never mind, after all, you don’t care about these things, right? ]
[Enemy, villain, mysterious organization, these are what you want, make them hostile to you, make them attack you. ]
【Then, tell them what fear is. 】
【Now, there is an opportunity before your eyes. 】
[Escort Shen Xueqi to the "Nanli Daoyu". ]
Still there was no hesitation, even though this time the mission was an escort mission that almost all foreign veterans were reluctant to take.
But the name of this task made Mo Cheng a little suspicious.
Why use Zhang Wuji’s experience as the mission name?
But for him, as long as he could get someone to cause trouble for him and Mo Cheng would have an excuse to defend himself, then it would not be a problem.
…
Master Wanghan stood on the top of the mountain, watching his disciples, who had always followed him and rarely traveled far, leave along the mountain road.
"Wanghan, can you tell us now?"
After the two people who left had gone far away, Master Wei Yi, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up, "Why did you let that fake scholar escort Xue Qi?"
Fake scholar, Master Wei Yi discovered from the very beginning that there was something wrong with Mo Cheng's self-proclaimed identity .
The reason is that Master Wei Yi was the principal of Jixia Academy hundreds of years ago, but later he turned to practicing Taoism.
"I am proficient in fortune-telling. I discovered Mo Cheng's fate from him..."
Master Wang Han paused. Although his words were covered by the mask, his two companions could hear the disbelief in his words. "The fate of Mo Cheng was also the fate of the lonely star, and it was even more vicious than Xue Qi's."
