    Chapter Index

    Xie Ren’s heart was beating wildly, and even her fingertips were shaking slightly.

    But he composed himself, did not make a sound, just slightly tilted his head and said in Hua Cheng s ear, “…… Sanlang don t move. This voice outside, it resembles my master. Don’t be discovered yet ……”

    Although it is very similar, but he can’t be sure. Because the world is not without the voice extremely similar people, and he and the master of the country have not seen for hundreds of years, he remembered the shaking is not impossible. At present do not act rashly, wait and see what happens, may be able to find out more secret things. Hua Cheng also slightly lowered his head, embraced his waist, whispered: “Good …… you also do not move.”

    The two of them were squeezed by the earth and rocks in all directions, their bodies pressed against each other, their ears rubbing together, their ears slightly hot. Although out of place, Xie Ren’s mind still quickly flashed through a sentence: “‘Death in the same hole’ is not bad.”

    At that moment, the voice added, “Where are the two of them? Where did they go?”

    “The two of them”? Xie Ren first instinctively thought that he was talking about himself and Huacheng, and with a slight shock in his heart, he wanted to listen carefully to who he was talking to, but strangely enough, the “State Master” – let’s call it the “State Master” for now But strangely enough, there was no response to his question.

    It was really strange. At this distance, Xie Ren and Hua Cheng could both hear the “State Master’s” question. According to reason, his voice was not very loud, not shouting at the top of his voice, so the other party should not be far away from him, and if he answered, they would be able to hear a little bit from here. However, the fact is, can’t hear a thing.

    “The Master of the Kingdom added, “They have worked hard. But don’t worry about those little weeds, they won’t make a difference. We have more important things to do right now.”

    Only then did Xie Ren realize that “the two of them” did not refer to him and Huacheng, but to the two accomplices of the “Master of the Country”.

    Things were also getting weirder and weirder. The tone of the State Master’s voice was obviously echoed, but it sounded like he was talking to himself or to the air. This weird scene appeared in Xie Ren’s mind, but he immediately shrugged it off, thinking that there was another possibility, that is, the “Master of State” could hear that person’s voice, but others could not.

    His doubts grew thicker and thicker, and he listened more and more intently with bated breath. When the “State Master” opened his mouth, one sentence was worth pondering over, and he added: “Is that all the people in the mountain? Anyway, you first bring them together to the copper furnace, then I will think of a way to deal with them one by one. The faster the better, be sure to arrive within two days.”

    Copper Hearth!

    Moreover, it is still “within two days”, Copper Furnace Mountain can not be used to shrink the ground thousands of miles, how can two days to arrive? Or to bring a group of people. “Dispose of”, and how to “dispose of” method?

    After a pause, the voice added, ”Call the two of them over as well, and we’ll go to the Copper Furnace together. To deal with His Highness the Crown Prince, we can’t afford to have one less. Right now, His Highness is still in a state that is not completely awakened, if we wait for him to wake up …… it is hard to imagine what he will do this time.”

    Xie Ren was stunned.

    Is this about him?

    It was at this moment that the mountain rumbled, Xie Ren felt the earth and rocks around him vibrating slightly, and outside the State Master said, “What’s wrong?”

    He also said to Flower City from within the stone wall, “What’s wrong?”

    Hua Cheng whispered, “There’s a change over there.”

    The foreheads of the two of them were once again pressed against each other. In front of Xie Ren’s right eye, the situation in the cave on the side of Guanyu and Quan Yizhen appeared again. Moreover, it should have been a slightly earlier scene. Guiding Jade finally plowed Quan Yizhen out of the stone wall, panting and dragging it down, exhaling. Who knows, the unconscious Quan Yizhen suddenly leapt up in place and removed the mask from his face as soon as he did so!

    Fang, Quan Yizhen had actually faked a faint!

    Thinking that he was familiar with the habit of walking around when Guan Yu was thinking, the tone of his voice, and the force with which he hit people, I’m afraid that when Guan Yu slapped down a shovel, he knew who it was. Never in a million years would I have thought that a person of Quan Yizhen’s nature would also have a day to make a scam. Although this is just an ordinary but crappy little trick, but put on Quan Yizhen, can be said to be unprecedented. Therefore, no one was on guard, underneath the mask, there was Guanyu’s shocked and pale face, obviously stunned. Quan Yizhen, however, was thrilled, jumping up with a head full of blood and shouting, “Senior brother!”

    The corners of Lead Jade’s mouth twisted, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying, and suddenly held her head in both hands and said, “I’m not!”

    After yelling loudly, he pulled his legs out and ran, blasting back to block those behind him as he ran, saying, “Don’t follow me! Don’t follow me!”

    Quan Yizhen also drew his legs and chased after him, completely ignoring the bombardment, only shouting with great joy, “Senior brother! It’s me!”

    Lead Jade couldn’t help but growl and burst out, “Damn it’s you that’s scary! Told you not to follow me!!!”

    Clanging all the way, it smashed the mountain with a rumble. Over here, the State Master was puzzled, “What’s going on over there? Why is it so noisy?”

    Still no one answered him, but as if he had gotten an answer, the State Master said, ”So that’s how it is, kids nowadays are really so rowdy. I’ll leave first, I still have to prepare. Afterward, we’ll rendezvous when you arrive near the copper furnace!”

    He is actually this is going to go. At that, Hua Cheng re-covered Xie Ren’s ears, Xie Ren closed his eyes, in a moment, a violent vibration around him, the stone wall that had been bent over for many hours was finally blown away, and the two of them leaped out in unison, landed lightly, and re-breathed the fresh air. However, outside is an empty cave, there is no national master, there is no that mysterious second person, long gone.

    Xie Ren and Hua Cheng glanced at each other, not in a hurry to catch up, and before they could separate, a black-robed man rushed in from the opposite side of the cave, and it was none other than Leader Yu. He waved his geomancer’s shovel and ran furiously towards the two of them, saying, “City Lord!!!! Your Highness the Crown Prince!!!”

    Behind him, Quan Yizhen, who had already been smashed in the head, also rushed in. Without lifting his head, Hua Cheng waved his hand, Quan Yizhen immediately raised his hand to cover it, however, the move Hua Cheng made was not something that could be blocked by a fist, only to hear a bang, a burst of red smoke exploded around Quan Yizhen’s body. After the smoke slowly dispersed, the only thing left in the spot was a round, red undefeatable man, dripping and spinning.

    That undefeated man opened his eyes wide with an innocent look. It was again the same move that Flower City had used against Lang Qianqiu last time. Only then did Guiding Jade stop running wildly, wiped his cold sweat, and walked over, saying, “Many thanks to the City Lord.”

    Flower City said, “It’s not so scary, is it?”

    Guiding Jade’s heart palpitated and smiled bitterly, “Truth be told, when I see this Your Highness Qi Ying now, I just want to run as far away as possible.”

    Xie Ren was amused and sympathetic when she heard this. It seems that Guiding Jade really has a very serious shadow on Quan Yizhen’s “personality”. The tumbler was still on the ground, Baba’s eyes were wide open as it tilted around, and no one paid any attention to it. Xie Ren looked pitiful, was about to pick it up, suddenly felt the ground a violent trembling, his body also followed the east and west, almost crooked than the unbalanced man, busy to stabilize his body, said: “What’s the matter? The ground moved?”

    Although Xie Ren didn’t need support, Hua Cheng still held him up and said to Guiding Jade, “Go out and take a look.”

    Lead Jade recovered her state extremely quickly and said, “Yes!”

    In response, he copied the Geomancer’s Shovel, and in a short time, he swiftly and incomparably opened a hole in one of the stone walls. The daylight outside shone in, and Guiding Jade glanced at it, showing a startled expression on his face. Xie Ren said, “Your Highness, is the ground moving or is this mountain about to collapse?”

    Citation Jade said, “It’s neither! It’s this mountain monster …… it’s running!”

    It’s running? Xie Ren and Hua Cheng looked at each other and snatched forward, looking outside the mountain monster and could not help but be speechless.

    It’s really running!

    Beyond the mountain, the landscape was going backwards at a rapid pace, almost to the point of becoming colorful lines. It looked as if they were riding on a speeding carriage, or sitting on the shoulders of a giant that was running wild!

    Hills, rivers, plains, and woods were all flattened underfoot by this mountain monster, and were crushed over by it to make way for it. Whistling gusts of wind raged in from outside this cave entrance, the hair and sashes of the three fluttered, and Guiding Jade said, “According to this running method, I’m afraid that we will arrive at the Copper Furnace in two days ……”

    Two days?

    Xie Ren’s mind was instantly enlightened. It turned out to be so!

    No wonder, no wonder I could not hear the voice of the “other man” answering, no wonder the Master of the Kingdom asked the other to take them to the Copper Furnace Mountain within two days. Because at that time, the “national master” is not talking to people, but talking to the mountain monster!

    Flower City inevitably understood, and said, “It’s just as well, borrowing its wind so that you don’t have to walk slowly. He said to meet at the Copper Furnace when the time comes, and we’ll know exactly what he wants to do when we get there.”

    Xie Ren, however, looked grave. Hua Cheng sensed this and said, “Brother, what’s wrong?”

    Xie Ren said, “What do you mean by not yet fully awakened?”

    Only then did that voice say, “Right now, His Highness is still in a state of not being completely awakened, if we wait for him to wake up …… it is hard to imagine what he will do this time.” Xie Ren stared and said, “If that person is really my master, and the ‘His Highness the Crown Prince’ he said is me, what does that sentence mean?”

    Hua Cheng said, ”Brother don’t think too much first. Firstly, that person is not necessarily your master; secondly, the ‘Crown Prince Highness’ that he said, is not necessarily you either. Don’t forget that Prince Wuyong, too, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”

    Xie Ren said, “But what if it is? I have some unfounded guesses, so help me hear if they make sense.”

    Hua Cheng said, “Good. Brother you say.”

    Xie Ren said, “There are three great mountains in Copper Furnace Mountain: old age, sickness, and death, except for life. Assuming, that the man in the square was really my master, and the one he was conversing with was a mountain monster, and he was able to communicate with mountain monsters, then it is highly likely that the ‘two of them’ he was talking about were the other two mountain monsters.”

    Flower City said, “I agree with that. Anything else?”

    Xie Ren said, “Also, I’m wondering if all three of these mountain monsters have human consciousness. Or even, they themselves are human incarnated. Why is there no mountain of ‘birth’? It’s because ‘Sang’ hasn’t been transformed yet, ‘Sang’ is still a person, and that person …… is the State Master!”

    The more he thought about it, the more it made sense, and with his heart beating wildly, he continued, “Copper Furnace Mountain was once the realm of the Wuyong Kingdom. “Birth, old age, sickness, and death”, there were four in total; Prince Wuyong’s Protector Heavenly Deities, there were also four; and the Immortal Music State Masters who have taught me since I was a child happened to have four in total as well! One main one, three deputy ones. Would there normally be four Masters of State in a country? I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it before, I thought it was customary, but then I realized there was no such custom. Do you think this is a coincidence, or is there some connection between them?”

    Flower City, however, said, “Coincidence isn’t surprising. Isn’t the Four Named Scenery also four? The Four Great Harms don’t have enough four, and they have to forcefully pull one to make up the number.”

    Xie Ren said, “But for some reason, I have a strong feeling. Life, old age, sickness and death, the four heavenly deities of the Wuyong Kingdom Protector, and the four masters of the Immortal Music …… may all be the same four people.”

    He followed his train of thought downward and said, “If, my four masters, are really Prince Wuyong’s four Protector Heavenly Deities, then why did they come to be our Immortal Bliss’s State Teachers? Why did they come to teach me? Why did the State Masters tell me the story of Prince Uyong? Why did he say that he wanted me to become like Prince Wou Yong? Is there something else going on with me that even I don’t know about? What do you mean I’m not awake yet? Could it be that I am actually ……”

    He was getting a little devilish in his thoughts when Flower City gripped his shoulder and said firmly, “No! I can guarantee that you are you, not any other person. Trust me. Don’t get carried away.”

    Only then did Xie Ren wake up as if from a dream and said, “…… You’re right. I was a bit rambunctious.”

    The State Master was the person he knew best besides his parents. Although the State Master often resented him for not listening to him, and was often inconveniently close to him due to his status, he was, by and large, a good master. Suddenly, realizing that you might not know someone you thought you knew very well at all, it was indeed easy to fall into a funk.

    Moreover, there was one more thing, it was too similar. So far, the experiences of Prince Wuyong displayed on those murals of the Wuyong Divine Hall were incomplete, but they had already vaguely given him an almost terrifying sense of reincarnation reappearing.

    Hua Cheng slowed down his tone and said, “However, brother, think carefully first, your master, what is his origin?”

    Xie Ren thought carefully and said, “…… not sure.”

    Truly, he surprisingly couldn’t recall where his master had come from at all. After a moment of contemplation, Xie Ren said, ”The State Master was the State Master before I was born, and I only know him as Mei Nianqing, but needless to say, this must be a fake name. In the past, I have wondered why the State Master hasn’t ascended if he’s so powerful, but if that person in the square is him, then he’s definitely lived in this world for longer years than I have. If he really wants to deal with us ……”

    Flower City, however, said uncaringly, “It’s fine. It’s just a matter of living longer. No matter what he is, if the soldiers come, the water will come to cover the earth. Remember that I am there for everything. I will always be on your side.”

    Xie Ren was slightly stunned. Guiding Jade’s presence was already low, and with the very sensible way she stayed quiet, she was almost forgotten about, when she said, “City Lord, do you need to go find the others?”

    They were out, but Pei Ming and the others still didn’t know which corner this mountain monster had swallowed and digested. Xie Ren busily said, “Look! Let’s find it together. Your Highness Guiding Jade please wait.”

    Citing jade said, “Prince highness, no need to call your highness la …… I have long since stopped being a Divine Officer of the Upper Heavenly Court.”

    Xie Ren laughed, “Then you can call me by my name as well, no need to shout so politely. I also stopped being the Crown Prince a long time ago.”

    Citation Jade glanced at Hua Cheng behind him and busily said, “This …… doesn t dare, doesn t dare, doesn t dare.”

    Xie Ren said, “What is there to be afraid of?” After taking two steps, he was about to pick up Quan Yizhen’s Undying Womb, when suddenly a silhouette descended from the sky and fell heavily in front of him, making a crisp bone-breaking sound.
