Chapter Thirty-Nine: Don’t Make Wild Guesses
After seeing Gege, the excitement didn’t last long before Pa Yinan recovered.
However, because Gu Yu brought Gege and had just given medicine, Pa Yinan had a good impression of him.
Upon hearing about what happened in Zhongjia Village, Pa Yinan did not refuse and took a deep breath before immediately recounting everything she had experienced.
Back then, before the mysterious person arrived, someone had visited Zhongjia Village and discussed matters with the clan elders. However, no agreement was reached, and they parted on bad terms.
After this person left, the clan elders immediately summoned everyone in the village, stating that Zhongjia Village would face a great calamity soon and that those without strength should leave early to avoid losing their lives.
Seeing how serious the clan elder was, a third of the villagers immediately left, while the rest were those who were not afraid of death or had no relatives to rely on, as well as some skilled Gu masters.
As the most powerful Gu master in Zhongjia Village, Pa Yinan naturally could not leave at this time. She could only send Gege away, in case an unavoidable tribulation really occurred, to prevent Gege from staying and dying with them.
Thus, after Pa Yinan sent Gege away, within a few days, a group of mysterious men in black appeared. Their martial arts were extremely high, and they could easily subdue several strong men.
Logically speaking, Zhongjia Village had several Gu masters, so even if they encountered these skilled men in black, they would have a fighting chance.
However, the person who first came to the village had also arrived, and he was a powerful Gu master.
Using some unknown method, he sealed the spiritual energy of all the Gu masters in Zhongjia Village, making them passively captured by the men in black.
Because Pa Yinan had a lot of spiritual energy, she did not suffer at the beginning. Instead, she was kept by the side of the mysterious person and helped him to search for something in Wancong Valley behind the village.
As she reached this point, Pa Yinan couldn’t help but sigh and organize her thoughts to avoid rambling and affecting comprehension.
Gu Yu, who was listening by the side, vaguely guessed that the first person to appear was Zhou Yi’s master, Lin Qianshan, when he heard Pa Yinan’s account.
Throughout this journey, the person Gu Yu suspected the most was him.
Therefore, at this moment, Lin Qianshan had become the main planner of this incident.
The group of mysterious men in black should be the ones who stole the Imperial Seal from the Imperial Palace. However, their cooperation with Lin Qianshan after arriving in the Southern Border made Gu Yu a bit confused.
Although Gu Yu didn’t know much about the Imperial Seal, Bai Qian had privately mentioned… that the Imperial Seal was carved from a stone taken from the Dragon Vein, and it complemented the Dragon Vein’s aura, with a certain connection between the two!
Legend has it that if someone destroyed the Dragon Vein, that person would absorb the Dragon Vein’s aura, making their future luck extremely good…
However, if the Dragon Vein was destroyed, Linfeng Kingdom would also face the danger of destruction, on the verge of collapse.
Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao’s trip this time was to prevent the Imperial Seal from being destroyed and to stop anyone from trying to damage the Dragon Vein, so that Linfeng Kingdom could be safe again.
Regarding this, Gu Yu was a little skeptical.
What era is this? Still talking about Dragon Veins…
Gu Yu, who transmigrated from modern times, although he felt that the idea of ghosts and gods had a slight possibility, he always felt that talking about Dragon Veins was like a trick.
However, facing Bai Qian’s anxious expression, Gu Yu certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to offer his opinion. Instead, he nodded seriously and promised to complete the mission.
Regardless of whether there was a Dragon Vein or not, as long as he took the Imperial Seal back, everything would be resolved.
However, there was still an important question in this.
That was, why did Lin Qianshan cooperate with the mysterious men in black and do such things? What benefit would it bring to Lin Qianshan?
If there were no benefits, only an idiot would do so much. If any of it were discovered, he probably wouldn’t be able to stay in the Southern Border.
Therefore, based on various speculations, Gu Yu reached a more certain conclusion.
Firstly, Lin Qianshan could cooperate with the mysterious person, and the two must have had the same goal to become accomplices.
This common goal led Gu Yu to boldly place his focus on the Imperial Seal, estimating that these two parties were going to search for the Dragon Vein.
Secondly, Lin Qianshan’s need for the Dragon Vein was not great, and the talk of luck was even more fleeting.
Perhaps only a three-year-old child would believe in the idea of luck enhancement.
Lin Qianshan’s IQ was much higher than that of a three-year-old child, so he naturally wouldn’t make such a mistake… Of course, it was also possible that Lin Qianshan was mentally deficient and believed that his luck would be incredibly good, but from Zhou Yi’s words and actions, Gu Yu saw some of Lin Qianshan’s traits and felt that Lin Qianshan wouldn’t be so lacking in intelligence.
Otherwise, with his strong Gu techniques, he wouldn’t have to settle in a remote place like the Southern Border.
This was the same as Gu Yu’s previous thought. He originally wanted to stay and sell spring water, but considering that this place was a poor and remote village with nothing… staying here was not a good choice. The bustling capital was more suitable for him.
Even Gu Yu had such thoughts, so Lin Qianshan couldn’t be content to stay in the Southern Border to retire.
Therefore, the reason he stayed was due to the Gu worm techniques in the Southern Border.
It was probably related to cooperating with the mysterious men in black… Suddenly, Gu Yu remembered what Zhou Yi had said when they first entered the Southern Border after encountering those corpses.
Resentful worms can find mysterious Gu worms.
The reason Lin Qianshan cooperated with the mysterious person was because of this mysterious Gu worm!
Now that it was related to the Dragon Vein… Could it be that this mysterious Gu worm lived in the Dragon Vein???
Due to the lack of clues, Gu Yu felt he couldn’t make wild guesses.
Regarding this, he should listen to what Pa Yinan had to say; he believed it would give him a satisfactory answer.
“When I was by their side, my spiritual energy was sealed, and I didn’t know what they wanted us to do. We were always taken to Wancong Valley to do inexplicable things…”
“Inexplicable things? Can you explain in detail?”
Then, as Pa Yinan continued to speak, Gu Yu asked with some doubt.
He felt that the answer to the question that had been bothering him was within this!
“I’m not too sure. The feeling of having your spiritual power sealed is very uncomfortable. I was almost backfired by the Gu worms, so my consciousness was a bit blurry… Vaguely, I saw several newly formed resentful worms crawling rapidly towards the deepest part of the valley, but they were quickly blasted back, and all of them died!”
Speaking of her past experiences, Pa Yinan’s expression was very serious.
