After a while, the pain gradually subsided. Chen Qingyuan breathed a long sigh of relief, and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
Use spiritual energy to dry the clothes.
"I seem to have forgotten something."
Chen Qingyuan stood there, frowning, as if he had forgotten something and felt uncomfortable all over.
He only remembered that he came to the ancient city of the old land and saw some scenes about the ancient Emperor Taiwei. As for what the picture is, I have no idea.
"It's really evil."
Chen Qingyuan muttered after thinking for a long time and couldn't think of anything.
He glanced around a few times, as if there was some kind of existence watching him, and he felt panicked.
"Seeing how desolate and decayed this place is, there must be no chance. It's better to leave quickly!"
Chen Qingyuan didn't want to stay here for a long time, so he turned and walked behind him.
As soon as I stepped out of the gate of the ancient city, a strong wind blew in my face.
"Sand, sand, sand..."
The wind is mixed with yellow sand, covering the void, making it impossible to see directly with the naked eye.
After the yellow sand in the sky cleared, Chen Qingyuan found that the ancient city behind him had disappeared.
"It's really weird."
Chen Qingyuan checked it many times and was convinced that the ancient city had disappeared out of thin air, as if it had never appeared.
However, Chen Qingyuan can be sure that he has entered the city, and the feeling of vicissitudes of time should not be an illusion.
"It's better to go back first!"
Chen Qingyuan used the power of the jade bracelet to change his breath and appearance.
The news about the old land spread out very early, and there must be many strong people preparing to come, but we don't know the specific situation now.
For safety reasons, identity is hidden.
After confirming the direction, Chen Qingyuan walked towards the road he came from.
The territory of the old land is too vast, and it is definitely impossible to understand it in a short time.
A few days later, Chen Qingyuan noticed a hint of aura and immediately hid.
Fortunately, with the protection of the jade bracelet and the supreme Buddha beads, Chen Qingyuan hid in advance and was not discovered by passers-by.
"There are so many people!"
Chen Qingyuan saw dozens of people walking together and passing by him.
If he had gone slower, he would have been discovered.
But it's not too much of a problem. Anyway, I have something to protect myself. It's just a little troublesome.
"The news has just spread, and there are powerful people coming so quickly. It seems that the attraction of the old land is not small!"
Chen Qingyuan thought to himself.
When I came back, I met several groups of people, and there was no danger.
"It's finally out."
After another period of time, Chen Qingyuan finally returned to the starting point, feeling a little at peace in his heart.
In the dark, the second uncle Xiao Junchou recognized Chen Qingyuan and was overjoyed.
It wasn't that Xiao Junchou could see through the power of the jade bracelet, but that he had secretly protected Chen Qingyuan and had seen his appearance after hiding his true body, which was the same as it was now.
"Boy, as long as you're not dead."
Xiao Junchou's message fell on Chen Qingyuan's ears.
"Uncle."
Chen Qingyuan heard the voice of the second uncle, and his tense body relaxed slightly. With the protection of his uncle, there is no need to be afraid.
"Let's talk in another place."
The old land has been targeted by many forces. Xiao Junchou did not want to cause trouble and asked Chen Qingyuan not to reveal his true appearance for the time being.
Half an hour later, the two of them went to a hidden void.
Xiao Junqiu placed many restrictions to ensure that no one would find out.
Therefore, Xiao Junchou secretly reached out and brought Chen Qingyuan directly to this space.
"Meet my uncle."
Chen Qingyuan saw Xiao Junchou and bowed with great respect.
Wearing a simple gown, there is a ring of stubble around his mouth, his eyes are deep, his skin is dark yellow, and he has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.
Xiao Junchou looked at Chen Qingyuan carefully, grabbed his wrist, and checked whether there was any injury. After ensuring that Chen Qingyuan was in good health, he felt at ease.
"Uncle, why are there so many people in the old land?"
Chen Qingyuan asked doubtfully.
"It's been so many years. Not only the major forces in the Imperial State have gone in to inquire, but also the powerful people from Western Xinjiang and Southern Territory. Daoyi Academy has also sent several elders to inquire about the situation."
Xiao Junchou said.
"Many years?" Chen Qingyuan asked in surprise, "Wasn't it just a while?"
"Huh?" Hearing this, Xiao Junqiu's eyes flashed with suspicion, and he said seriously: "You have been in for fifty-four years. "
"What!"
Knowing this, Chen Qingyuan was shocked and his expression changed drastically.
"Don't you feel it?"
Xiao Junqiu frowned slightly, looking at Chen Qingyuan like this, as if he was unaware of the passage of time.
"No."
Chen Qingyuan was stunned for a long time.
After careful calculation and Xiao Junchou's affirmation, Chen Qingyuan accepted this fact.
But why didn't I feel how long it had passed?
Chen Qingyuan was puzzled.
After thinking about it, I thought of the vague picture about Ancient Emperor Taiwei in my mind. Could it be related to this?
Maybe!
More than fifty years passed in one glance, like a dream, very unreal.
"Fortunately, you are out now. If it had been a few decades later, the Qing Sect might have changed drastically."
Xiao Junchou said.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Qingyuan asked subconsciously.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Qingyuan thought of something: "Could it be that my uncle's time is approaching?"
When he said this, his heart tightened and his whole body trembled.
"That's not true, it's because of Mo Yuan."
Xiao Junchou's expression was solemn.
"Uncle, please take me back first!"
Chen Qingyuan was silent for a moment, wanting to go home as soon as possible.
"Yes."
With Xiao Junchou's protection, the road went smoothly.
Soon, he returned to Qingzong.
Chen Qingyuan had the fingerprint to unlock the entry restrictions and went straight in.
Many people saw Chen Qingyuan and saluted.
People in the sect didn't know that Chen Qingyuan had gone to the old land, so they didn't react much. For decades, Dugu Changkong told the outside world that Chen Qingyuan had gone into seclusion.
"It's good to come back safely."
As soon as he entered the Yage in the inner hall, Chen Qingyuan saw Dugu Changkong's kind face and his soft voice.
"Old man, are you going to guard the Demon Abyss?"
Chen Qingyuan saluted, stood aside and hesitated for a while, then asked.
"Yes." Dugu Changkong nodded slowly: "The seal of the Demonic Abyss is gradually loosening. If you don't leave, there will be endless troubles."
"Please forgive my inappropriate words, disciple. We can completely ignore it, whatever. Only the monks in the world are injured. Only through pain can we understand Qingzong's kindness and concerted efforts."
Chen Qingyuan knew that after the Demon Abyss broke out, countless innocent people would die tragically. However, he did not want to let the old man die. Enough people in Qingzong had already died.
"Silly boy, there are always people to do some things. If the empire turns into a demonic land and causes countless lives to die, wouldn't it be a failure of the will of our ancestors?"
Dugu Changkong also had similar thoughts when he was young. The demonic abyss erupted and I didn't bother to pay attention. When you get older, you can understand many truths. You don't care about fame and fortune, you just want to have a clear conscience and no regrets.
"If you go to the Demon Abyss, what will the Qingzong do?"
Without the old man's supervision, the Qingzong could not stabilize the situation with only Lin Changsheng, who was at the peak of Mahayana.
Chen Qingyuan neither wanted to let go of the old man nor knew how to preserve the Qingzong.
