Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 297 Canglong
  After Gu Xun left the princess's mansion, he did not leave the palace. Instead, he turned south and went to the old palace of Zheng State.

There was something else there that he should look for.

Dark clouds drifted past the waxing moon one after another, and the sky became darker and brighter. Gu Xun walked slowly and comfortably on the ground. Every step he took was a few feet away. Not long after, he arrived at the main square of the Zhengguo Old Palace. Connected to the square platform is Gonghu Lake.

This place has been weathered since Gu Xun came to Xinzheng. It has been the host of two wars in succession. From the eroded and damaged floor tiles to the wild and flourishing weeds, everything has been destroyed.

Gu Xun stepped on the still gray-black floor tiles and dead grass and walked around to the other side of the palace lake.

The scenery here is much better than that of the main hall of the Old Palace. Standing on the land by the lake, you are facing the bright moon, with one round above the lake and one below the lake, complementing each other.

And in the sky and the earth, reflected in the moonlight here, a huge cherry blossom tree that has grown for unknown years is slightly shaking its flowers and leaves with the warm night wind. The gorgeous pink cherry blossoms are dyed by the white moonlight. Silver, falling gently.

Even a rough guy like Gu Xun couldn't help but feel a little intoxicated when he saw this scene.

There are not many scenery in Xinzheng that can compare with this place.

Gu Xun didn't sigh for too long. He ignored the unknown depth of the water of Gonghu Lake and stepped directly out of the lake shore and stepped into the water. After making a circle of ripples, Gu Xun stood firmly on the weak water surface. .

Then came the second and third steps. Gu Xun didn't stop until he reached the big cherry blossom tree in the lake.

If I remember correctly, this is where Mo Crow touched the scroll in the original plot, right?

Gu Xun waved his right hand, and the invisible true energy spread downwards, quickly extending to the water, continuing to go deeper, exploring the underwater situation.

As he sensed the underwater situation, Gu Xun couldn't help but shake his head gently. This was really magical.

This huge palace lake is connected to the Jishui River. The lake is quite deep, but it is an artificial lake after all, and now there is a huge turbulent current in this artificial lake.

Gu Xun could faintly notice that a strange force was entrenched under the deep lake water. It was it that created this turbulence to block the prying eyes of those with ulterior motives.

However, in his opinion, this was just looking for trouble. People who had the ability to dive into such deep water would probably not be defeated by this turbulence.

Fortunately, this place has been abandoned for many years. There are no people here, and no one comes here to do deep diving. Otherwise, people might notice abnormalities because of this inexplicable turbulence.

Gu Xun looked at his clothes - a snow-white robe. It would be bad if it got wet in the water.

Even if you can dry it instantly when you get ashore, it would be too rude to put wet clothes on your body without washing them!

So Gu Xun decided to be a little more troublesome and just bring the things up.

The right hand that was hanging naturally was turned slightly, with the palm facing the sky, slightly clenched, and slowly raised.

Following his movements, the originally calm lake surface suddenly began to have rapid ripples, getting faster and faster, becoming more and more fierce. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a whirlpool, with rapid water swirling around it, spiraling. Downward, an inverted cone is formed, and the waves of water make the entire palace lake start to stir and stir.

Under the invisible water surface, the spiraling upward force extended into it, touching the strange force that protected underwater objects. The undercurrent began to stir, trying to disperse Gu Xun's power to control objects.

It's a pity that the gap between the two is huge. How can rootless power be able to compete with the vast internal power of Gu Xun's complete perfection? The undercurrent breaks out at the first touch and cannot stop Gu Xun at all. The ancient slips hidden deep in the water begin to be protected by invisible objects. Driven by force, it floats upward against gravity.

After a while, he completely surfaced from the water.

Gu Xun smiled and clenched his right hand completely. The letter flew straight out of the whirlpool and fell into his fully closed palm. At the same time, the whirlpool in the water suddenly dispersed, water splashed, and the harem lake slowly returned to calm.

Gu Xun looked at the two big characters on the cover of the slip - Canglong!
  By the way, this thing feels like a wooden slip. How did it stay intact in the water and not be soaked? Could it be that it just entered the water not long ago? It's not that big of a deal, as long as you soak it for a few days, it'll basically be fine.

But now this thing looks like it accidentally fell into the water and was immediately fished out. Apart from being wet, it has no bad condition, is clean, complete, and has no smell.

After sighing for a while, Gu Xun was too lazy to dwell on such unscientific and martial arts details. He gently brushed it with his palm, evaporating the water in it, and left here.

While walking on the road, Gu Xun opened the letter and read it while walking to the medical center.

He had a lot of things to do in the city tonight.

………………

South Street, Tianhe Medical Center.

For the first time since this medical clinic opened, the lights in the back house did not come on after dark. Even when the house collapsed last time, the lights stayed on for a while and then went out.

Zinu and Nongyu passed through the secret passage of Zilanxuan and detoured through dark alleys in the night. Finally, they arrived at the medical center without anyone noticing. Then they discovered that there seemed to be no one in the medical center. .

The two went into the backyard of the hospital and found it completely dark and deserted.

"Gu Xun is not here? Jing Salamander and the child are gone too..." After Zi Nu checked, she found that there was indeed no one. She was surprised at first, but then she calmed down.

She understood that the Gu Xun family had truly left Xinzheng.

However, he had clearly told himself not long ago to come to the hospital if something happened, so how could he disappear so early?
  "Sister Zi Nu, Brother Gu seems to have left. What should we do?" Nong Yu also understood the current situation and asked Zi Nu worriedly.

Zi Nu frowned, and after thinking for a moment, she replied, "Wait here for now."

He believed that Gu Xun would not deceive him, and there was no suitable place for them to go at the moment. Both her and Nongyu's martial arts were too weak in this chaos.

At this moment, Gu Xun's gentle voice sounded in their ears:

"Sorry, something delayed me for a while. You didn't have to wait too long, right?"

Along with the sound, Gu Xun also appeared in the courtyard with a letter under his arm.

"Brother Gu!" Nong Yu shouted in surprise.

Zi Nu laughed and said, "You managed to get the timing just right."

"Haha, I was supposed to come back earlier, but I found that the situation in the city was simpler than I expected, so I simply delayed it for a while." Gu Xun explained while taking out the slip from his armpit and handing it to Zi Nu.

Zi Nu took the thing and asked curiously, "What is this? Canglong..."

"Its appearance should be very conspicuous. It is a letter." Gu Xun spread his hands and replied.
