Chapter 1182 - 1179: The Legendary Mystic Flower
Song Xiaojia smiled gently on her pretty face and said slowly, "Tian Mang is not someone else, you also know him, he is Lin Chuan."
Upon hearing that Tian Mang is Lin Chuan, Zhang Wenhui was momentarily stunned and speechless.
"Officer Zhang, are you okay?" Seeing Zhang Wenhui's expression, Song Xiaojia couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Wenhui came back to his senses and said with a wry smile, "Turns out Lin Chuan is Tian Mang, I really didn't see this coming."
Song Xiaojia smiled with pursed lips and said, "Officer Zhang, there are many things you didn't see coming, but I don't have time to tell you now, I have to go."
As Song Xiaojia said she left, Zhang Wenhui didn't try to keep her. After she left, he packed some clothes and then called his wife, saying he'd be going on a long trip and telling her to take care of herself.
He went to the Huainan Road police station, parked his car there, hailed a cab to the airport, and booked the fastest flight to Xining City.
No matter if the dream is real or not, Zhang Wenhui has to go to Kunlun Mountain Han Gu Pass.
...
Xiao Ling led Lin Chuan and Feng Lingfeng onward at the bottom of a deep ravine. The vegetation became increasingly dense, and after passing through a thick vegetation zone, the area opened up ahead.
It was a narrow open area with few trees, surrounded by high cliffs and walls on both sides, and there were many stones on the ground.
The little creature arrived at the open area, flew around in midair, then landed on Lin Chuan's shoulder, and let out a few hisses at Lin Chuan and Feng Lingfeng.
It seems this is the legendary Han Gu Pass where Laozi achieved enlightenment and became an immortal.
Lin Chuan looked around and then turned to Feng Lingfeng beside him and said, "Master Feng, we've reached Han Gu Pass, what's the next step?"
Feng Lingfeng's face was covered with a black veil, and she gazed in the direction ahead of Han Gu Pass, pondering as she said, "According to the records, the Demon Sealing Seal should be at a place to the west of Han Gu Pass. As long as we find the entrance to the Demon Sealing Seal and use the mysterious power of the Yin Yang Double Jade to open the entrance and activate the seal, we can re-seal these monsters."
Lin Chuan turned and looked at Xiao Ling coiled on his shoulder and asked, "Little one, can you find that entrance?"
Xiao Ling hissed twice, its small snake head shaking repeatedly, clearly indicating it didn't know.
Feng Lingfeng said, "The Golden Summit Silver Snake is an ancient spirit, but Laozi's Demon Sealing Seal is a Taoist technique, it won't sense it."
Lin Chuan gazed at Feng Lingfeng through the black veil, recalling the last time he saw her face on Kunlun Mountain, a longing suddenly arose in his heart, eager to see her stunningly beautiful face again.
"Master Feng, can we remove that black veil to talk?" Lin Chuan blurted out, and regretted it instantly, as he'd only met her a few times.
Feng Lingfeng looked at Lin Chuan with revealed eyes, remained silent for a moment, gently sighed, and then slowly removed the veil covering her face.
This face Lin Chuan would never forget, she was simply a masterpiece of heaven. In his life, he's known many women—Tang Yumeng, Song Xiaojia, Yang Zi, Fang Yuan, Silver Fox, Mu Bai, etc., all of them exceptionally beautiful, especially Tang Yumeng and Song Xiaojia, could be considered exceedingly pretty.
But compared to Feng Lingfeng, Tang Yumeng and Song Xiaojia still fell short in many ways.
Seeing Feng Lingfeng's breathtakingly beautiful face again, Lin Chuan still felt awestruck; this face was truly supremely beautiful, an absolute goddess, whether in ancient times or nowadays.
Feng Lingfeng noticed Lin Chuan staring dazedly at her, a slight blush appeared on her exquisite face, and with a hint of coquettishness in her eyes, she said, "Lin Chuan, is there a flower on my face?"
Lin Chuan was slightly taken aback and shook his head.
"Since there's no flower on my face, why are you staring at me?" Feng Lingfeng teased.
Lin Chuan awkwardly chuckled and said, "Master Feng, you're, you're too beautiful, so I couldn't help but take another look."
Feng Lingfeng's pretty face blushed slightly more, making her appear even more lovely.
Back in Kunlun Mountain, when Qin Zhengnan mentioned Feng Lingfeng, he claimed she was an old woman in her fifties, yet to Lin Chuan, she looked more like a woman in her twenties.
"Lin Chuan, can you not call me Master anymore, just call me by my name." Feng Lingfeng's beautiful face was full of expressions, mesmerizing Lin Chuan.
Upon hearing Feng Lingfeng's words, Lin Chuan subconsciously nodded and said, "Alright, Master Feng."
Once he said those words, Lin Chuan instantly realized he'd said the wrong thing, and with an embarrassed smile, he said, "Calling you Feng Lingfeng feels a bit awkward, I think I'd better call you Sister Lingfeng."
Feng Lingfeng's exquisitely beautiful face showed a smile, indescribably charming: "Alright, I'll accept you as my little brother."
Looking at the smile on Feng Lingfeng's face, Lin Chuan was once again stunned, then sweetly called out, "Sister Lingfeng."
On the west side of Hangu Pass, there was still a barren land, with several huge stones placed on the ground. Lin Chuan and Feng Lingfeng searched until they reached here but couldn't find the entrance to the demon-sealing seal.
The giant stones were right there in the old place. Lin Chuan arrived in front of one of the stones and casually touched it; the surface of the stone was very smooth.
Feng Lingfeng was also staring at the stones at this time and saw Lin Chuan reach out to touch the stone. She said coquettishly, "Lin Chuan, don't."
Unfortunately, Feng Lingfeng's voice was a bit late; as soon as Lin Chuan's hand touched the stone, the surrounding environment underwent a drastic change.
The previously clear sky disappeared, and the surroundings were covered by dense fog. Even with Lin Chuan's good eyesight, he couldn't see a meter ahead.
Damn, what's going on, Lin Chuan was shocked and shouted loudly, "Sister Lingfeng."
Lin Chuan shouted a few times but didn't hear Feng Lingfeng's response, becoming anxious.
Feng Lingfeng was standing outside the stones, clearly seeing Lin Chuan inside, but she dared not go over. These stones were simple in appearance but secretly contained mysteries.
These giant stones were arranged according to the Five Elements location. Although Feng Lingfeng could see this, she didn't know what kind of array it was.
Many strange arrays were derived from the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. Even if Feng Lingfeng was capable, it was impossible to fully grasp them.
After Lin Chuan shouted for Feng Lingfeng and received no response, he bit his teeth, looked at the dense fog around him, and couldn't distinguish direction as he walked forward.
Just after taking two steps, the surroundings instantly changed again. This time it wasn't dense fog, but the entire space turned dark red, as if being inside a giant furnace, the surrounding heat was unbearable.
Feeling the intense heat, Lin Chuan turned to look at Xiao Ling on his shoulder, this little guy had somehow run into his shirt pocket with Xiao Hei.
"Xiao Ling, Xiao Hei." Lin Chuan called out, but the two little guys were curled up in Lin Chuan's pocket, not even showing their heads.
Lin Chuan quickly turned up the pocket to look, finding the two little guys curled up together, sound asleep.
Damn, didn't expect that the usually active little guys would be sleeping at this moment. Lin Chuan cursed silently and ignored the two little ones, looking at the dark red space and took another two steps forward.
After these two steps, the surrounding heat increased significantly, turning the entire space into a massive furnace. Lin Chuan's body felt unbearably hot, so he silently activated the Heavenly Heart Skill Sealing Heart Skill to resist the heat.
The temperature within the space kept rising, and even when Lin Chuan elevated the Heavenly Heart Skill Sealing Heart Skill to about eighty percent, he still couldn't resist it, so he had to take off his clothes.
Stripping all his clothes, leaving only his underwear, Lin Chuan was sweating profusely, seemingly unable to resist the immense heat even after removing clothes.
Damn, Lin Chuan felt his body was about to catch fire, and couldn't help but curse aloud.
After removing his clothes, the two pieces of Yin Yang Jade around his neck were exposed, among which the Yin Jade suddenly emitted a purple light, which didn't expand outward but instead all penetrated into Lin Chuan's body.
The purple light surged into Lin Chuan's body, immediately accompanied by a stream of icy coolness running with the inner qi of the Heavenly Heart Skill, dramatically lowering the body's temperature.
Even so, his body was still unbearably hot, feeling as if a fire within was about to erupt.
The heat was too strong; even the cold aura of the Yin Jade within the Yin Yang Double Jade couldn't resolve it.
And at this moment, a strange thing happened; a stream of white air slowly rose within Lin Chuan's right palm, and once it appeared, it reduced the surrounding heat considerably.
Another stranger occurrence followed; the rising white aura started to change, gradually transforming into the shape of a flower.
At this moment, Lin Chuan was completely awake, the flower formed by the white aura looked very familiar to him—it was the Illusion Yin Flower he had seen at Double Dragons Mountain.
Lin Chuan clearly remembered the situation then, when he picked the Illusion Yin Flower, it surprisingly burrowed into the palm of his right hand.
He observed for a long time at that time, and since there was no discomfort, he hadn't paid much attention to it. Now, the Illusion Yin Flower suddenly popped out from between his palms, catching him off guard.
The flower of the Illusion Yin Flower began to slowly expand, eventually becoming the size of a millstone, releasing extremely cold air that surprisingly neutralized much of the intense heat.
As the temperature of the space dropped, Lin Chuan instantly felt a rush of comfort throughout his body.
Outside, Feng Lingfeng clearly saw everything happening inside, her charming face was filled with surprise and shock, especially when she saw the white air transform into a flower, she cried out in amazement, "Ancient wondrous flower, Illusion Yin Spirit Flower."
