Chapter 31: More Important Than Freedom

"Master. When Wu Chen ran to Island Five, the night was already dark.

"You're here?"

You Lao hadn't gone to sleep so late, and was still meditating on the futon.

Wu Chen stepped forward, and sat cross-legged in front of You Lao: "Master hasn't slept yet?"

"It was almost coming, but I heard you coming from afar, so I waited. You Lao opened his meditative eyes and said.

Wu Chen pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, he came to say goodbye, but he was a little hesitant to speak, You Lao was very wise, presumably with a little hint, You Lao understood his plan to leave the island today.

Wu Chen was still hesitating here, only to hear You Laokuan smile and ask, "Are you leaving?"

Wu Chen was stunned.

Looking at You Lao, seeing that he looked kind, he couldn't help but nod his head: "Master, are you really not leaving?"

"If you don't go, my mission here has not been completed, and I can't leave. You Lao seemed to sigh, but he covered it up well, and his tone was still indifferent.

"What is the task?" Last time, You Lao asked Wu Chen to worship him as a teacher, and he talked about his task on the dust road, but Wu Chen didn't ask at that time.

He knew that whether it was You Lao or Sha Xing, these masters with tenacity and mind were all spies among the various forces in Dajing.

Each of them came with a mission, and they would not tell outsiders about it.

But obviously, Sha Xing's task has not yet been completed, why can they go, and You Lao just refuses to go?

You Lao looked at Wu Chen, his eyes were long and meaningful, he sighed and asked, "I have something to ask you for the teacher, and this matter is related to my mission here." ”

"Master, please speak. Wu Chen responded, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart, he felt that You Lao's vision was a little mysterious.

Old You bowed his head silently, paused for a moment and said, "Do you know that there is a mysterious thing on this dust road, which is a key?"

"Keys?"

You Lao bowed his head.

"I don't know. ”

"I really don't know?"

"Don't dare to lie. ”

You Lao stared at Wu Chen's eyes, and saw that he really didn't mean to lie, so he put away his gaze and asked again: "Then do you know, what else is strange about this island?"

"Do you mean a place like Yuxiumen?" Wu Chen asked.

You Lao nodded.

Wu Chen thought about it left and right, even if he told You Lao about the five strange places of the pentagram vertex, his plan to rise out of the island tomorrow would not be barrier-free. Besides, the secrets of the island should not be left to the Alpha Clan.

He was sure in his heart, so he told You Lao: "The strange places in the archipelago that I know are all in the thirteen islands, and in the middle of the thirteen islands is the holy place strictly guarded by the Alpha tribe.

The southwest is Yuxiu Gate, the southeast is the eye of the law, the west is called Zhongtian, the east is called Cloud Gate, and the north is the pouring pool. Among them, only Yuxiu Gate is visible on the ground, and the rest are underwater. ”

You Lao listened to Wu Chen's words, and his eyes bloomed with surprise from time to time.

He found the magic eye in the southeast corner, and the vortex that restored mana was the uncontrollable place of the mana enchantment of the dust road.

Wu Chen of Yuxiumen also took him to see it, and there were many spirit stones among them. He had also found it in the middle of the earth, but it was only magical, but it was not a place where the key could be found.

But the rest of the pouring pool and cloud gate are unheard of by Youlao. He was surprised by Wu Chen's familiarity with this place, which was not often found at his age and experience.

"Have you been to all these magical places?" You Lao asked Wu Chen in suppressed his surprise.

Wu Chen shook his head: "I have only been to Linglong Mountain Yuxiumen and Law Eye, and Law Eye has no effect on me. The other three places all require high mana to open the pathway, and I have never been there, and I don't know what magical powers are inside. ”

"What about the Holy Land?" You Lao asked again.

Wu Chen shook his head again: "The Holy Land is so tightly guarded, how can I enter? The key you want to find may be in these magical places, and I only know this." ”

When Wu Chen spoke, You Lao stared at him blindly, never seeing him as if he had a hint of a lie, presumably his words were credible.

Besides, this young man, who was destined to be an apprentice, had already told him so many clues, and the hope of finding the key was much greater?

"Master, this is the spirit stone I brought, are you really not leaving?" Wu Chen handed the spirit stone to You Lao and placed it on the futon in front of him.

Wu Chen said this has clearly hinted that if you want to leave, you need to use the east wind, in the future, even if You Lao finds the key he is looking for, even if he recovers his mana, under the threat of the light weapon of the Dust Breeze Road base camp, You Lao will have no chance to get out of the Dust Breeze Road alive.

"The gods have their own arrangements, and I must find the key. You Lao said firmly, his eyes did not hesitate.

"What is the key, which can be more important than freedom, if there is no freedom, what if you find it?" Wu Chen asked rhetorically.

"There are some things that are really more important than freedom. ”

You Lao sighed lightly, looked at Wu Chen intently, and said eloquently: "Since you and I have become masters and apprentices, we have never talked to each other. Now that you're leaving, let's get to know each other better. You Lao said, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Do you know how many spies from all sides of Yasukuni are on this dusty road?"

"Inquire about the forces and strangeness in the Afa Clan's dust sweeping road?" Wu Chen said his inference, which was only an inference.

You Lao was noncommittal: "What you know is only superficial. What is the strength of the Alpha clan, it is something that the saints should worry about today, what kind of excitement are the various sects following?"

Hearing this question, Wu Chen didn't know the answer.

"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Who would meddle if there was no real benefit? Have you ever heard of the Chosen One and the Xuan Qing people?"

Wu Chen nodded: "Tens of millions of years ago, the mutated alien race invaded this continent, and it was the Xuanqing Zhenren who opened the door of the chosen one and brought the quality of cultivation to the human race, and then the cultivation powerhouses came out one after another, so that the alien race was repelled." ”

"Yes, exactly. You Lao looked far away and continued: "The Gate of the Chosen One is the door to create the strong, and the Xuanqing Zhenren, Emperor Taizong and the present day have all been tempered by the Gate of the Chosen One to become a hegemon.

Legend has it that the Xuanqing Zhenren did not hesitate to scatter their souls to lay down the Tianque Array Enchantment for Dajing to block the invasion of foreign races.

After the real soul dissipates, there is still a world of illusion brought out from the Chosen Gate, which not only contains the cultivation treasure, but also the key to open the Chosen Door. ”

Wu Chen listened ignorantly, he had heard some of these things, but most of them didn't know in detail.

Wu Chen has heard a lot about the Chosen Gate, and there are also quite a few rumors in the army.

It is said that the current saint, who was still the prince back then, borrowed the power of the queen of the Alpha clan to open the door of the sealed Chosen One and became the one who unified Dajing.

"You are in the border army, have you ever heard of this?" You Lao saw Wu Chen's ignorance, thinking that he was blocked on the border and fighting more in coordination with the Alpha coalition army, so he didn't know about these things.

"Heard a little. ”

"The north and the south are secluded, the four saints of the East and West Buddha Creation Sect are all the disciples of the Xuanqing Zhenren back then, and they originally opened the door of the Chosen One, and they needed to participate in the battle of the stars in the Ziwei Palace in the underground palace, determine the location, and then keep the key by the master gate in the Dao Gate, and the two factions could only open it together.

However, the world has changed, and the key to the Chosen Gate is no longer in the hands of the Master......" You Laowu said to himself.

"I heard that the key to the Chosen One is inlaid on the jade seal of the country, shouldn't it be in the hands of the current saint?" Wu Chen was puzzled.

An imperceptible sneer flashed in Old You's eyes: "That's the truth, but today's throne is not glorious, I'm afraid it's him who is most anxious to find the key to the Chosen One." ”

There was a slight disdain in You Lao's eyes, Wu Chen's heart sank, and he didn't know what the relationship between You Lao and the present day was.
