Gu Feiyan and his group returned to Yaohua Pavilion, and went to rest after dinner. Palace Master Zhuyun needed time to prepare, and they needed it even more. Furthermore, they still had to wait for news from Gu Qishao and Ning Cheng.
Gu Qishao found a passage to the underground river on Yuzhou Island, and Ning Cheng rushed to help. The latest news they received was that they had found a secret passage under the cave. In terms of time, it is almost time for news.
Everyone had no idea about the various speculations before. However, now that it can be confirmed that the "Yun Xuan Shui Jing" is in Li Qin's hands, everyone is sure and has a direction.
There is a sea of ice between Yunkong Continent and Xuankong Continent. The sea of ice has shores in the north and south, but it is boundless in the east-west direction. At least, no one can reach the end of the east and west directions before the ice sea is poisoned. In other words, the sea of ice is the only way to travel between the two continents. The sea of ice is only poisoned on the surface. If there is still a waterway under the unfathomable ice accumulation, then this secret path must be recorded in the "Yunxuan Water Sutra". In other words, their previous speculation was established. Li Qin must have taken control of this secret path, and even more secrets, and then held the entire Yunkong Baili Mermaid Clan hostage.
Then get in touch with the secret of Fenghuo Island, and the answer will be revealed soon. The underground river of Yuzhou Island must be connected with the water system under the ice sea. Li Qin took that secret passage, crossed the ice sea, and then arrived at Yuzhou Island in the East Sea of Xuankong Continent!
The mystery of the secret passage alone is not enough to explain why Li Qin can hold the whole family of the Yunkong Baili Mermaid Clan hostage! There must be other secrets here, maybe someone in the Bailiying clan has rebelled, or maybe Li Qin has chips that they can't imagine.
Of course, Gu Feiyan and the others don't have time to take care of so much now! Their urgent goal is to take down Fenghuo Island!
Everyone went back to their rooms, leaving behind Gu Feiyan, Jun Jiuchen and Gu Beiyue. Qin Min and Nian Chen were in Gu Feiyan's boudoir, so Gu Beiyue naturally lived with them.
Gu Feiyan asked: "Teacher, when will tomorrow morning wake up?"
Gu Beiyue replied: "Tomorrow is the fastest, and the day after tomorrow is the slowest."
Just as Jun Jiuchen was about to speak, Gu Feiyan rushed first: "Then I won't be able to wake up tonight. You and Aunt Min will rest for the night."
Gu Beiyue said lightly: "You guys should rest earlier too."
Gu Feiyan nodded, didn't say much, and hurriedly pulled Jun Jiuchen away. At the door, before Jun Jiuchen could speak, she preempted her again and said in a low voice, "We won't be staying in Yaohua Pavilion for a few days, so don't bother them! Just rest assured, Aunt Min and Taifu will be fine. No matter how big the conflict is, no matter how deep the misunderstanding is, they can't quarrel. Mingchen is sick, and they are even less likely to quarrel! Besides, I guarantee that Aunt Min will wait for the master to come back to the house!"
Looking at Gu Feiyan's determined look, Jun Jiuchen felt his heavy heart relax inexplicably. He nodded and left with Gu Feiyan in peace.
The bright moon was in the sky, Yaohua Pavilion became quiet.
Gu Beiyue stopped at the stairs, lowered her head as if in deep thought. He was originally a quiet person, but now he was quite a bit quieter than usual, as if he did not belong to this noisy world, but became a world of his own.
After a while, he walked up the stairs.
He came to the door of Qin Min's room and lightly knocked on the door twice. After a while, there was still silence inside the door. He tapped twice more and waited. However, there was still no response from inside the door.
He walked aside, turned around and stood with his back. His back was still straight, and it wasn't stuck to the wall. Under the moonlight, such a tall and straight figure gave people the feeling that apart from being quiet, it seemed a little lonely and a little helpless. It was very similar to him, but very unlike him.
Inside the house, Xiao Nianchen seemed to be sleeping soundly. His complexion has completely recovered, quiet, immature, and pure, just like the beginning of life. Qin Min sat on the edge of the bed with his knees bent, his hands wrapped around his knees, and he silently looked at the closed door.
How could she have fallen asleep
Gu Feiyan did not guess wrong, she guarded Xiao Nianchen while waiting for Gu Beiyue to come. This feeling of waiting is all too familiar, as if returning to a few years ago. She put the child to sleep and always waited for him to come back like this. Until she found out about Nan Chen's disappearance, all the peace was broken.
In the silence, time seemed to stand still silently. Otherwise, why does it feel so slow
Qin Min stared at the door, and bit his lower lip directly, gradually biting harder.
Finally, she let out a foul breath, got up and went to bed, but she opened the door quickly. She didn't go out, but stood inside the door and said, "Gu Beiyue, if I keep silent, won't you come in?"
She knew he wasn't leaving. She was also sure that he knew she was up.
Gu Beiyue immediately turned around and walked in front of Qin Min. His gentle eyes hide a little dignified, a little helpless. He said, "Mingchen, how is it?"
Qin Min said: "Well."
Gu Beiyue nodded before stepping in. Unexpectedly, Qin Min suddenly closed the door, blocking him out.
Gu Beiyue was stunned for a moment, he raised his hand to knock, but in the end he didn't knock, and quietly returned to his original position, standing there. He raised his head to look at the bright moon in the sky, but the light of the bright moon couldn't penetrate the helplessness in his eyes that was too thick to melt away.
The night is getting deeper, one watch, two watch, three watch.
He was standing all the time.
Jun Jiuchen didn't feel sleepy after practicing the sword, and wanted to go to the lotus pond to have a look. He passed Yaohua Pavilion, looked up inadvertently, and saw Gu Beiyue.
He was surprised at the beginning, but soon it was not surprising, it is not surprising that such a thing happened with his father's temperament. He flew up, jumped over the railing, and stood beside Gu Beiyue, with his back against the wall.
Before he finished speaking, Gu Beiyue turned his head to look, and smiled helplessly. Jun Jiuchen also laughed, and jokingly said: "I always thought that mother has no temper. At least, to you."
Gu Beiyue still smiled slightly, but he didn't continue this topic. He jumped onto the railing, leveraged his strength on the railing, and flew up to the roof. Jun Jiuchen followed immediately, and the father and son sat side by side on the roof.
Gu Beiyue asked: "Is there any progress in Qian Ming's swordsmanship?"
Jun Jiuchen replied truthfully: "I think it's very strange that the sword girl went crazy. But, I still don't have a clue. Even..."
Jun Jiuchen had a thoughtful expression on his face, and did not continue.
Gu Beiyue waited for a moment before saying, "What do you suspect?"
Jun Jiuchen looked at him, and said seriously: "My boy suspects, my boy has not understood the second profound meaning of the Qianming Sword Art, or... my boy has understood it wrong!"
The second profound meaning of Qianming Sword Art is "There is a sword without me", and he understood the profound meaning from Gu Feiyan's unintentional words at that time. Gu Feiyan said that if he continued to practice, he would go crazy. But at that time, he really put himself to death and was born again, training himself to the point of becoming obsessed. He lost himself, reached the state of "no self", and then really controlled Qianming, he could keep the power of Qianming in his body, or hide the power of Qianming in the sword of Qianming, and control it freely.
At that time, Gu Feiyan questioned it. If it is "no self" and loses self, it should be that he is controlled by the power of Qianming, not he controls the power of Qianming! He didn't worry about it at the time, but when he heard that the sword girl went crazy, and Gu Yunyuan and Mengdong sealed the sword of Qianming, he realized the problem...
