The Prodigal Son of the Mystical Sect

Behind the old man, a bright road leading to nowhere appeared.

"The new owner of Emperor Garden, please come with me."

Chu Tianxiao glanced at Mu Liuling and said, "Liu Ling, wait here for my return."

Mu Liuling nodded and looked at the old man with vigilance. The meaning in his eyes was self-evident...

"Don't worry, it's not a trap this time." Chu Tianxiao smiled lightly, waved his hand, and followed the old man into the road. Then he heard a whooshing sound, the light disappeared, and the passage was closed. At the same time, outside the Emperor Garden Those crystal round screens also completed their mission, closed and then disappeared...

Seeing this, everyone outside the venue, no matter how unwilling they were, could only admit... The battle for the Emperor's Garden was over. Chu Tianxiao had become the new owner of the Emperor's Garden. Having completed the ultimate trial, he had put an end to this grand event... ...From now on, there will be no more disputes over the Imperial Garden!

For a moment, many people couldn't tell what they felt as they looked at the disappearing crystal round screen...

…

After Chu Tianxiao walked in, he walked through a long and narrow corridor and came to a hall with antique decorations everywhere. There were still birds singing and the fragrance of flowers outside, and the sound of clear springs sounded, but it was an elegant place.

“It is indeed a top-notch mansion...not only does it have elements of luxury and luxury, but it is also eclectic and elegant...Living here is truly a pleasure.”

Chu Tianxiao was thinking this, but the old man seemed to be able to see what he was thinking. He smiled slightly and raised his right hand to attract two seats. A pot of tea with a dense aroma fell in front of them.

The old man respectfully poured new tea for Chu Tianxiao.

"A ceremony for the new owner of the Imperial Garden?"

The old man nodded.

"...It's a bit shabby." Chu Tianxiao was a little surprised. He thought it was some kind of luxury, but he didn't expect it was just a cup of new tea...

When the old man heard this, he smiled and said nothing. Chu Tianxiao didn't ask any questions and just drank the tea. He immediately felt a fragrant aroma entering his heart and spleen, and the pores all over his body relaxed. His whole body felt like rising into the clouds, feeling indescribably refreshing. .

“Good tea!”

Hearing this, the old man still smiled, but with a hint of respect in his expression. Then he poured himself a cup of tea and said, "The new owner of Emperor Garden must have many questions. You can ask them now."

Chu Tianxiao was silent for a moment and said, "Are you the weapon spirit of Emperor Garden?"

"Yes and no."

"...What is the meaning of this statement?"

"The weapon spirit derived from the Emperor Garden when it was first born has long been annihilated. I am just a remnant soul that was born by chance to temporarily manage the Emperor Garden."

After hearing this, Chu Tianxiao thought for a moment and nodded: "I see... No wonder you still have to lend my hand to get rid of that Mo family spy?"

"Exactly."

After receiving the reply, the first doubt in Chu Tianxiao's mind was solved, and he continued to ask: "Are you about to 'die'?"

Hearing this, the old man let out a long sigh and said: "The new owner of the Emperor Garden has a keen eye, and the old slave is approaching his end of life. Fortunately, I met you at the last moment. Otherwise... if a shameless person steals this important weapon of the Emperor Garden, I will die with my eyes open. , I am ashamed of the weapon spirit of the past, and I am ashamed of my lord."

Chu Tianxiao's eyes narrowed slightly: "Your Majesty?"

The old man said: "He is the builder of Emperor Garden."

"……who is he?"

"The old slave is just a remnant soul of the parasitic Emperor Garden..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Tianxiao understood, nodded, and murmured: "Emperor Garden... Emperor Garden... Could it be that the original owner of this place was an ancient emperor? He left this Emperor Garden, Hundreds of years ago, he suddenly appeared in the vast land of China, and set up many tests to trigger the dispute between the emperor and the garden. What is the purpose of this..."

Hearing this, the old man said: "This old slave can help you clear up your doubts."

"oh?"

"Although the old slave has no chance to serve the Lord, Master Qi Ling once said to the old slave that the value of existence here is to select a person who is young enough, responsible enough, strong, intelligent, and has excellent abilities.' A guide'..."

"...What is a guide?"

"I don't know, old slave."

Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao tapped his fingers lightly on the table. He suddenly thought of Panlong Road and Panlong Pillar... It seemed that they also wanted to choose someone to do something... The two were so similar, Will there be any intersection?

Then contact the second floor of the Panlong Pillar, where there is a fragment of "The Secret Records of the Emperor's Garden"...

Thinking of this, Chu Tianxiao thought, took out the three paintings obtained from the third floor of the Panlong Pillar, pushed them towards the old man, and said, "Look, do these people and objects look familiar?"

When the old man heard this, he took it and took a look. Then his hands trembled violently and he couldn't hold it any longer. He pointed at the man in the first painting and said, "This... this is the Lord!"

After saying these words, Chu Tianxiao was also startled, his pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly spread the painting on the table, frowning and asked: "Which one?"

There are two people in this first painting, one with a blurred face and the other with only the back painted. The old man immediately pointed at the blurry person and said: "Master Qi Ling once told the old slave that the clothes that the master likes to wear the most are very distinctive and unmistakable!"

Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao was a little surprised. After thinking about it, he asked, "What about the other two paintings?"

The old man looked at it carefully, then shook his head and said: "Please forgive me for my blindness, I can't see anything familiar..."

"Huh? Not at all?"

"...Indeed not."

Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao fell into deep thought again - Emperor Garden and Panlong Pillar were indeed related, and what surprised him even more was that the original owner of Emperor Garden was actually the person who handed over the inheritance in the first painting...

Well... although there are many unknowns, there is a thread that can be connected...

"Panlongzhu selects people, and Diyuan also selects people. The former tells what to do, and the latter provides the basis for implementation..."

"A fantastic thing, not participating in the autumn exam, but winning the top spot... So that's it, Diyuan appeared in Kyoto to make this fantastic thing possible?"

"Hey, I have a hunch... This is a very big chess game, and it may even be related to the entire Shenzhou, and even... the chess game of the human world!"

" ...It seems that we can only know the clues after we win the first place in the Great Autumn Examination. "

Thinking of this, Chu Tianxiao sighed secretly, thinking that when he first crossed over, he fought back angrily just to survive, and fought wits and courage with Qin Yun. He thought that after he solved him, he could live a carefree life of squandering money all day long... Now it seems that he is still squandering money, but he can forget about being carefree...

"The road ahead is long and requires hard work."

The old man saw that Chu Tianxiao was thinking, and did not interrupt him. He just made tea quietly and waited for Chu Tianxiao to finish thinking.

After a while, Chu Tianxiao paused his fingers tapping on the table, looked at the old man, and said: "What is there in the Imperial Garden?"

The old man heard it and said: "Medicine field, backyard, study, observation tower, arsenal... You have seen all of these, and I will not repeat them... The number and details are all here."

As he said, the old man took out a jade slip and handed it to Chu Tianxiao. As soon as he immersed his consciousness in it, the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely...
