Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

"Dad, Fatty Wang brought Wu Xie to my place today." Xie Yuchen hid in a secret room that Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling had specially opened for him at night. No one else knew about it except the three of them.

The secret room where Xie Yuchen was located was located under his bedroom. Hua Yu, worried that someone might harm Xie Yuchen, brought Zhang Qiling and other people with him, dismissed all his subordinates and secret guards, and built the room with spiritual power.

"Oh? The two of them actually evaded so many people's pursuit and ran all the way from Sand City to Yanjing, and they are still unharmed?" It was daytime for Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling, and the two of them were sitting under the locust tree in the yard playing chess.

Hua Yu was holding a white jade chess piece between her fingertips. While playing chess with Zhang Qiling, she casually glanced up at someone sitting on the treetop.

"There seems to be a third person around Wu Xie, but we haven't found out where he's hiding." Xie Yuchen was upset that his stupid subordinates couldn't find any information about the mysterious third person around Wu Xie. Now he was throwing things at hand in frustration.

"The third person? It seems that the demise of the Wang family is a heavy blow to them. But it also shows that there must be a huge secret hidden in Wu Xie." Hua Yu stroked the chess piece on his fingertips, and it fell on the chessboard with a click.

"No matter how big the secret is, it can't escape my eyes. I just want to use Wu Xie's medicine man physique to read the unique secret of longevity hidden in the ancient city." Hua Yu didn't think that what he said was anything big.

"Medicine man? Wu Xie?" Xie Yuchen suddenly felt that he had trouble understanding Chinese. He knew every word, but he didn't understand them when they were put together.

"It is a city called Gutongjing, but it was buried under the yellow sand due to a big storm a thousand years ago." Hua Yu never had anything to hide from Xie Yuchen.

After all, the more information Xie Yuchen knew, the safer his situation would be. Although Hua Yu had been doing his best to protect Xie Yuchen, he also understood how smart and cunning Xie Yuchen was.

"Gutongjing? But since it has been buried under the yellow sand, why are Pangu's people still obsessed with this city?" Xie Yuchen didn't understand why they should spend so much time, energy, manpower and financial resources to go to a city that could not even see the sky when it was already buried under the yellow sand and it would be impossible to go there even if they wanted to.

"No, Xiaohua, you are wrong. For us, going there is just a blink of an eye. But for them, they need to consider the right time, place and people." Hua Yu did not say that the place could not be entered.

Xie Yuchen was puzzled. Since they were all buried in the yellow sand, the city must be full of sand. They would eat sand if they went in. "But Dad, didn't you say that the city was buried in the yellow sand? Even if we could go in, it would be full of sand. Would we go in and eat sand?"

"Xiaohua, there are many things in this world that you cannot understand, such as Gutongjing. There are many lakes in the desert, some are buried deep underground and flow around; some will only stay in one place and dry up with the passing animals and pedestrians, and then be filled up by the rare heavy rain in the desert and continue to contribute; some will move around on the surface, and to go to Gutongjing you have to find a lake that can move around, and only that lake has to be special, not all lakes that can move around can go to Gutongjing." Hua Yu told Xie Yuchen that in addition to teleporting to Gutongjing, another way to go to Gutongjing is to find it by himself.

"It will take a long time to find it! The desert is so big, there are so many lakes, and it has to be able to move around and it has to be special." Xie Yuchen just thought it was impossible.

"To be honest, Gutongjing is just a huge tomb. Since it is a tomb, there must be a gravekeeper. Do you think the gravekeeper knows when that special lake will appear and when it will disappear?" Hua Yu tilted her head to look at Xie Yuchen on the other side of the water mirror.

"Daddy means..." Xie Yuchen suddenly understood the meaning of what Hua Yu said.

"Be careful in everything. If you want to fish, you have to use bait that is big enough to hook everyone." Hua Yu urged Zhang Qiling to put down the chess piece in his hand quickly.

"But, I am not familiar with Gutongjing, and I have never heard of the name Gutongjing before. What if I suddenly start looking up things about Gutongjing?" Xie Yuchen suddenly thought that he didn't even know there was a place called Gutongjing in the world before.

"Don't worry, someone will hand you the steps soon. You just need to go up along the steps. Just be careful not to be led away by others." Hua Yu was not worried. After all, someone had already handed them the bait, so they would not have to wait too long.

Xie Yuchen was a smart man. When Hua Yu said that, he immediately thought of the two people sleeping in his house. "Dad meant that Wu Xie and Fatty Wang were the steps they sent here."

Hua Yu looked at Xie Yuchen with a teachable expression, "Now that you know, then make good preparations! We're going to have a tough battle next."

After the water mirror was disconnected, it fell to the ground and turned into a puddle of water.

"Is there a worm on the tree, or is it premature? With all the locust leaves falling to the ground, is the wooden head going to grow brains?" Hua Yu saw that a layer of locust leaves had fallen in just a short while.

"You are bald at such a young age! I am a demon, how could I be bald like an ordinary man?" A delicate little face emerged from the crown of the locust tree, jumped down with red ears, and stood beside Hua Yu.

Hua Yu just raised her eyes slightly, "How old are you? Still playing with rattles? Haven't you always claimed that you are the top demon in the Great Wilderness? How come your actual age is only three months and four days?"

Li Lun was holding a colorfully painted double-drum rattle tightly in his hand, and he was wearing a silver-white robe embroidered with locust leaves with silver thread. "Zhu Yan he..." Li Lun stopped talking before he could finish his words.

He didn't know what to say. His feelings towards Zhu Yan were too complicated. On the one hand, they had been together before they transformed, and later they were adopted by Ying Zhao together after they transformed. Since his original body could not move, he always liked to stay at home in his Huaijiang Valley, while Zhu Yan was lively and active and loved to travel around.

The two of them spent thirty-four thousand five hundred and thirty-two years together, until one day in the thirty-four thousand five hundred and forty-five years they had spent together, when the appearance of that woman stole Zhu Yan's attention, and because of that trip to the human world, the two of them parted ways.

He just wanted to rescue the demons who were imprisoned by humans, who took their blood and flesh, and tortured them at will. Just because he couldn't control himself and killed the mortals who went to the clinic to get medicine, Zhu Yan actually injured him, and it was the magic power of the Eternal Wood that injured him.

The Eternal Wood entered his body at that moment, and he has been suffering from the pain of being burned by the Eternal Wood ever since.

Even so, he never blamed Zhu Yan at all. As long as Zhu Yan came to see him, even without any explanation, as long as he came to Huaijiang Valley to see him, he could forgive everything Zhu Yan had done to him.

But he didn't. He had never been here once, not even once before, when he accidentally passed by Huaijiang Valley.

Li Lun knew that in his heart he had actually been speaking for Zhu Yan's helplessness. Perhaps he was also troubled by the Unburnt Wood; perhaps an unknown monster in the wilderness asked Zhu Yan for help, so he didn't come to see him; perhaps Zhu Yan already regretted treating him like that, but he couldn't find any reason not to come to see him.

"Are you worried about Zhu Yan?" Hua Yu saw through Li Lun's inner thoughts at a glance, "Don't worry, if anything happens to you, nothing will happen to him."

"I don't care about him. I'm just worried about those little monsters in the Great Wilderness and those little tree monsters in my Huaijiang Valley that were transformed from my tree branches." Hua Yu wanted to laugh when she saw Li Lun's hypocritical look.

"Zhu Yan is the container of evil spirit. As long as evil spirit still exists in this world, he will not die. As long as he does not die, evil spirit will not bring disaster to the world." Although Hua Yu was helpless about Zhu Yan, the white monkey, she had to say that it was all thanks to Zhu Yan, otherwise there would be countless more things that killed people and monsters in this world.

“But his violent temper is a burden to Zhu Yan. He is such a beautiful and kind demon, but he can’t find friends because of his violent temper. From the time he was born until now, he has only... no friends.” Li Lun suddenly thought of something and changed his words.

"The evil energy will not dissipate between heaven and earth just because a container disappears." Hua Yulilun demonstrated.

There was a full teacup on the table. Suddenly, the cup broke, and the tea in the cup flowed down the table to the ground. It was instantly absorbed by the ground and disappeared.

"Li Lun, Zhu Yan is this teacup, and the hostility is the water in the teacup. You said the teacup was broken, so where did the tea go?" Hua Yu looked into Li Lun's eyes.

"The tea disappeared." Li Lun's wooden head really gave Hua Yu a headache. He had read so many books, but he couldn't understand a single word.

"Has the tea really disappeared? Wasn't it absorbed by the land?" Hua Yu crushed the ground with his feet. The next moment, a puff of green smoke rose from the land that had just been watered with tea, and then condensed into a cloud of mist.

"You mean that after the tea falls out of the container, it is absorbed by the soil. After a period of evolution, it will turn into mist and reappear." Li Lun's mind suddenly opened up.

"Tea is the evil spirit, the teacup is Zhu Yan, and guess what the land is?" Hua Yu asked the question again.

Li Lun suddenly didn't dare to think about answering. He seemed to have the answer in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

“The land is all the creatures in the wilderness and the human world. The container is cracked, but the evil energy will not disappear. It is just spread evenly on every person and every monster, and then triggers the evil power in the hearts of people and monsters, gathering together again to form a larger ball of evil energy.” Hua Yu pointed out the luck in Li Lun’s heart.

"That Zhu Yan... he loves the mortal world and the wilderness so much. If this is true, then he..." Li Lun's lips trembled, not knowing what to do.

"Become the master of your anger, control it instead of being controlled by it." Hua Yu proposed a solution.

"It's not easy to control the evil spirit." Li Lun smiled bitterly and turned into a bunch of leaves and left.
