Chapter 475: Catharsis after reunion, this trip, you and I go together
The morning light is dim and the flowers are covered with dew.
The late summer night was filled with lush vegetation and a bit of moisture. By the time we reached the Demon Suppression Division, the sky was already bright. The sun rose from the east and slowly moved towards the sky.
After landing, the demon-suppressing masters each performed their duties, not daring to slack off. The demon-suppressing master in charge of food set out two large pots and cooked two spirit sheep to welcome Lu Zhan.
Under the banyan tree behind the main hall.
The banyan tree was lush and tall, with flowers blooming all around. Lu Zhan sat casually on a stone. Others were sitting, standing, or half-lying on branches. The atmosphere was light and yet had a hint of solemnity.
Lu Zhan did not talk about the Qianjue Valley, but looked at Feng Nangong who was half lying on the tree with a slightly scrutinizing look:
"Brother Feng, you have traveled thousands of miles to the southern border. It must be exhausting. Why don't you take a rest for a while and enjoy the hospitality of our Demon Suppression Division?"
Feng Nangong's smile was stiff. The Demon Suppression Division was a place to exorcise demons. How could it treat guests well? Was he going to treat him with his fists?
Lu Zhan was obviously afraid that he would leak the news.
Feng Nangong's mind worked quickly, and he solemnly promised:
"Brother Lu, rest assured. No matter what I heard today, I will not spread it to anyone else. I can swear on my father's future."
"..."
Lu Zhan didn't dare to trust him anymore: "Brother Feng, please."
The Gu God set up a mystery for the ages, this matter is really extraordinary. Those present are all royal immortals, so they are qualified to listen. But Feng Nangong's family business is a paparazzi company, so they must be on guard against him in this matter.
Otherwise, once it gets out, it will probably disrupt the current situation.
Feng Nangong's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly: "Okay..."
Walking out of the hall in a depressed mood, Feng Nangong looked back while shaking his folding fan, but he was not angry. If it really concerns the overall situation, it would be better to hide it from him.
Sometimes, he didn't even believe in himself.
But the problem was that he had to find something to do.
His father asked him to go out and gain experience, and specifically stated that he was not allowed to come to southern Xinjiang. As a result, he not only came, but also got involved with the Demon Suppression Division. If he returned home at this time, he would probably be sent to dig coal in the northwest.
Feng Nangong walked into the courtyard and looked at the demon-suppressing masters who were busy with their work. He suddenly felt that this group of rough men were not as annoying as he had imagined. Instead, they had some temperament.
Feng Nangong has been feeling uneasy since meeting Lu Zhan again.
When he was in Bianjing, he could still call Lu Zhan a brother. But in just one year, Lu Zhan's progress was so amazing that he could even be close to his father.
Feng Nangong felt that he could no longer live in a muddle-headed state.
It's time to impress your dad.
Thinking of this, Feng Nangong raised his hand and smiled:
"Brothers, let me introduce myself. My name is Feng Nangong. Are we still hiring? I want to join the gang. I hope you guys will give me a chance... otherwise I will go home and inherit the family property."
.........

“Chirp~~”
After Feng Nangong left, the sparrows took over the banyan tree alone, their agile bodies disturbing the green lake.
Jiang Ningshuang sat between Lu Zhan and Chu Wantang. Her fiery red dress outlined her waistline and her unattainable broad chest, which was quite spectacular.
She stared at Lu Zhan with her watery almond eyes, full of longing and pride.
Chu Wantang and Ling Jiaoyue, however, frowned. After Lu Zhan escaped, although he did not say a word about what happened in Qianjue Valley, they both had a hunch that something must have happened in Qianjue Valley.
Yuan Kong felt even more uneasy. Feng Nangong had been driven away, but Lu Zhan left him here alone... This was not giving him face, but giving face to the Chan Yi Sect.
It also indirectly shows that...something big is happening in Qianjue Valley.
Everyone had their own thoughts and waited with bated breath.
Lu Zhan reached out and pinched a green leaf. After using the leaf to create a barrier, he spoke in a calm voice:
"The Thousand Desolation Valley is a scam carefully created by the Gu God. He has already escaped from the Thousand Desolation Valley. The one sealed in the valley is not the Gu God, but the ancestor of the South China Sea people, Wu Yuan."
!
These few words made everyone freeze in place.
This incident was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.
Yuan Kong felt even more uneasy. No wonder Lu Zhan kept him here. Since it was related to the scourge of the Gu God, the Zen Sect naturally had to do some work.
"Why is Wu Zu in Qianjue Valley?" Yuan Kong thought of the records about the Gu God, which only mentioned that the Gu God was killed by the King of Ten Thousand Demons, and there seemed to be no mention of Wu Zu.
Chu Wantang's peach blossom eyes trembled slightly: "Wasn't it the King of Ten Thousand Monsters who killed the Gu God?"
Lu Zhan said with some hesitation, explaining the whole story: "It is difficult for anyone other than the parties involved to explain clearly what happened back then. Perhaps the records are biased."
"Before entering the valley, I also thought that it was the King of Ten Thousand Monsters who killed the Gu God. But later I learned that the King of Ten Thousand Monsters did participate in the operation to kill the Gu God, but he was a mysterious dragon that was rarely seen. It was Wu Zu and Kong Que Lao Zu who were responsible for the aftermath."
Lu Zhan also learned this information from Wu Zu.
The ancient times are so far away from us that the young generations don’t know what happened back then.
Yuan Kong's face turned pale, and he stammered:
"The Gu God is really scheming. Even someone as powerful as Wu Zu was plotted against. Even if there was only a trace of Gu God's divine consciousness left, thousands of years have passed, and this trace of divine consciousness has probably recovered to its peak."
Compared to the South Sea demons, the Gu God is slightly less dangerous. But after all, he is an ancient demon, and no one in the world of immortal cultivation wants him to revive. They also always think that he died in the Thousand Desolation Valley. As long as the Thousand Desolation Valley is safe, there is no possibility that the Gu God will revive.
But who would have thought that Qianjue Valley was just a lie!
And this lie has deceived the world for thousands and thousands of years!
Lu Zhan also felt a little sad. If the God Stone was not in Qianjue Valley, Qianjue Valley would not have disappeared. If Qianjue Valley did not disappear mysteriously, the matter of the Gu God would have been discovered long ago.
Really good fortune.
Jiang Ningshuang's heart was heaving, and she said blankly:
"So the Gu God was already connected to the South Sea demon tribe in ancient times... If that's the case, where would he hide in the world of immortal cultivation for thousands of years?"
Chu Wantang's face turned pale, and he suddenly said, "Master went to the South China Sea to reshape the seal half a year ago and has not returned yet."
"?!"
Lu Zhan was caught off guard by this. He never expected that his female boss would be in trouble. He suddenly raised his head and asked:
"How could this happen? What is the situation now?"
Chu Wantang grasped the hem of her skirt with her palm and said calmly:
"Master's life lamp is burning brightly, which means she is safe. But the Gu God is related to the South China Sea demon tribe. I am worried that Master has not returned because of the Gu God... In addition, last night I saw the Stoneman tribe cooperating with the demons of Peacock Mountain. The Stoneman tribe is the guardian of the South China Sea seal. If their tribe changes, the situation will not be optimistic."
Before coming to Southern Xinjiang, Chu Wantang knew nothing about the Stoneman Tribe and Peacock Mountain.
After all, the South Sea is far away from the Great Zhou and is a special area. If the Stonemen are interested in covering up, the spies of the Demon Suppression Department may not know everything.
But what she saw and heard last night made her worried.
"..."
The atmosphere became increasingly heavy and eerie.
The Gu God has been dormant for thousands of years without being discovered, which means that He has a safe hiding place. According to the current situation, this so-called safe place is probably closely related to the South China Sea.
The Grand Master is extremely powerful. If he were to suffer a setback in the South China Sea, the future would undoubtedly be difficult.
"I have to go to the South China Sea." Lu Zhan no longer had the intention to return to Bian Jing.
Yuan Kong was a little worried: "If the Gu God is really in the South China Sea..."
"Just kill him." Lu Zhan rubbed his brows and said, "I have some friendship with Wu Zu. If the Gu God really shows up, Wu Zu and I will be able to kill him together."
"..."
This was said easily, but no one dared to question it.
Who is Wu Zu? He is the ancestor of the Nanhai people and a famous figure in ancient times.
Lu Zhan talked about friendship with him, which was an absolute symbol of strength.
Ling Jiaoyue was worried about Lu Zhan, but she knew the seriousness of the matter, so she stood up and said:
"I will return to Yunshui Sect and inform the headmaster of this matter. If something really happens in the South China Sea, Yunshui Sect will fully support the South China Sea."
"I feel the same." Yuan Kong did not dare to be careless. He did not expect that he would encounter such a big thing after going out for a hard practice.
Lu Zhan stood up and clasped his fists in thanks: "This matter is extremely important. The journey is long and arduous. Thank you for your help."
Yuan Kong shook his head, his expression serious: "Brother Daoist Lu, you are wrong. This matter concerns the lives of the people, and it is the responsibility of the Immortal Sect. If we want to thank you, the Immortal Sect should thank you."
Even though there are frictions between the immortal sects, when the catastrophe really comes, protecting the people is their only responsibility. They will stand hand in hand and face it together with the royal family.
Ling Jiaoyue stared at Lu Zhan, wanting to reach out and hug him, but she finally suppressed the impulse in her heart and said:
"I will not let you down."
"..."
Jiang Ningshuang was still in a daze. She had waited so long for Lu Zhan to escape from trouble and had thought that she could live a comfortable and happy life as before.
But I didn't expect all kinds of difficulties to come one after another.
We just met again, but we have to part again.
Jiang Ningshuang was a little reluctant, her eyes were a little red, and she grabbed Lu Zhan's robe and refused to let go.
Lu Zhan pried her hand apart and stuffed the green leaf that Wu Zu had given her into her hand. He then closed her hand again and said calmly:
"When you return to the mountain this time, don't come out again. Comprehend the rhyme of Tao well."
"..."
Jiang Ningshuang sensed the mysterious rhythm of Taoism in the green leaves, and her body trembled slightly. She understood Lu Zhan's deep meaning and nodded with tears in her eyes: "Okay."
Jiang Ningshuang turned into a stream of light and quickly flew away from Southern Xinjiang with Ling Jiaoyue and Yuan Kong.
Lu Zhan stood under the dense banyan tree with his hands behind his back, staring at the figure of his old friend gradually disappearing into the distance. All his emotions turned into a sigh:
"I hope we can meet again in the future, and drink a few cups of wine to celebrate our reunion."
Chu Wantang also felt somewhat disappointed. He stood up and stood beside Lu Zhan, whispering:
"On this trip, you and I will go together and return together."
Lu Zhan collected his thoughts and said, "I'll take off my disguise and then we'll be off."
……

There is a magical spring in the Demon Suppression Bureau, which was accidentally discovered when the bureau was built. The director transformed it into a hot spring that can temper one's constitution and physique, and it is used to reward demon suppressors who have made outstanding contributions.
Although going to the South China Sea is urgent, we still have to retreat and disguise ourselves.
Lu Zhan has made many enemies with his appearance as "Lu Xiaofeng". He has important business to attend to in the South China Sea and does not want to be disturbed by his minions.
Furthermore, the situation in the South China Sea is different from that in Southern Xinjiang. Southern Xinjiang needs to keep a low profile, while the South China Sea needs to be more high-profile in order to intimidate the water tribe and the stone tribe.
While Lu Zhan was removing his disguise, he was also using the hot spring to restore his consumed true energy.
"Wow~~"
Under the lush banyan tree, Chu Wantang sat on the couch, temporarily suppressing his sorrow. Holding the teacup with his slender fingers, he was feeding the sparrows and asked casually:
"While you and Lu Zhan were in Jinling, which woman did he date?"
Queque was happily drinking the spiritual tea. Upon hearing this, her hair stood on end and she shook her head like a rattle:
"No, I can testify that Xiao Lu has no contact with anyone other than Jiang Ningshuang and Ling Jiaoyue. He keeps himself clean."
"..."
Chu Wantang put down the teacup, held Que Que in his arms, gently touched her head, and said meaningfully:
"It turns out that he was involved with Jiang Ling and the other two at that time."
"..."
After Queque replenished his essence, he was no longer as innocent as before. His IQ had improved. He immediately became alarmed and said seriously:
