I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

Chapter 183 Secret

It turned out that a young disciple from Feiyun Cave brought the food.

Most of the people who practice Taoism practice fasting and do not eat food, but they still make some preparations when guests come.

Three or five young disciples came in one after another, holding dishes. The dishes were rich, including fish soup, fish pot, fried fish cakes, and dry-fried small fish...

Fish, fish, fish, all fish...

The disciples of Qianji Sect were all stunned.

The disciple who served the food smiled and introduced: "This place is near the sea, and there are abundant fish. These are the special foods of the seaside. You can try them."

The room is filled with the aroma of fish, which makes your mouth water.

The Qianji Sect does not have any dietary restrictions, so how could they let go of such delicious food?

Xue Hao swallowed and said, "Okay, okay." But his eyes were fixed on the fishes, unwilling to look away.

Xiaoliu drooled, Meng Xin quickly pulled Xiaoliu over, took out a handkerchief to help him wipe it, and said, "Junior brother, restrain yourself."

Seeing that several of his fellow apprentices were staring at him like greedy cats, Gu Lan coughed lightly as a reminder and smiled at the disciples who were serving the dishes and arranging the plates, "Excuse me, I'm so embarrassed. Qianji Sect is deep inland and I've never seen these sea fish, let alone had a bite. Thank you for your hospitality. We won't be polite then."

"You're welcome. Please go ahead. We will leave now. If you need anything else, you can come to us for more dishes. As for drinks, Master doesn't like drinking, and the sect also strictly prohibits it, so we haven't prepared any. If you need it, you can go outside the mountain to buy it."

Feiyun Cave is far away from the secular world and is indeed different from other sects and schools. They treat people very warmly and do not look down on them just because they are from Qianji Sect. Instead, they treat them as good hosts.

Gu Lan and the others were very happy after hearing this, "Since drinking is prohibited, we will just follow the host's wishes."

Those disciples then withdrew, and Gu Lan asked a few fellow disciples to sit down and start eating the sumptuous fish feast.

After eating and drinking, they cleaned up the dishes, washed them and put them away, waiting to return them early the next morning.

Meng Xin washed and dressed the junior fellow, then sent him upstairs to settle him down. After busying himself for a while, he came downstairs and saw the eldest sister and the third brother sitting in front of the window chatting, so he joined them.

The three of them had a very good impression of Feiyun Cave and felt comfortable sitting in front of the window.

The not-so-cold wind of late autumn blew in, bringing with it a scent of flowers. A few elves flew to the window. Gu Lan reached out and teased them, revealing the cuteness that belonged to a young woman.

Meng Xin took a sip of hot tea and sighed.

Seeing that the eldest sister stopped and looked into the distance with her chin in her hand, I couldn't help but look in the direction she was looking.

At the end of the sight are continuous mountains separated by water.

The careful Meng Xin immediately thought of the handsome monk.

Is Senior Sister thinking about him?

The handsome cultivator that I met when I came down the mountain from Xuantian Sword Sect to Xuantian Post Station has disappeared since I arrived at Nanjiang Post Station. I don’t know what his relationship with me is.

After hesitating for a while, Meng Xin broke the silence, "Senior Sister, who is that accompanying cultivator? When did you meet him? He is very considerate, but he seems not good at talking."

Yun Tiannan had never talked about his fellow disciples with his fellow disciples, and naturally had never mentioned Xu Guizhi. Gu Lan knew about Xu Guizhi from the Moon Shadow Turtle.

Seeing Meng Xin asking, Gu Lan told him everything he knew, and the two were stunned after hearing it.

I thought it was a cultivator from a certain sect who I met during the sect competition and who loved my senior sister, but I didn't expect it to be my uncle?

"Then why didn't Master Xu look for Master? Master has been looking for them for many years. If he came back, the person he should contact the most is Master, but why did he avoid him?"

"Yes, what Junior Brother Meng said is true. I also feel that he doesn't seem to be very close to us. He has always been silent in the team and doesn't say much."

What the two junior brothers said was right, and Gu Lan also had doubts in his heart.

Before, Xu Guizhi was a soul and could not recognize Yun Tiannan, but now he has become a clay figure and can walk freely. He also said that he remembered some things. Logically, he should have something to say to Yun Tiannan, but not only did Xu Guizhi not take any action, he became more and more distant from him?

I didn’t travel with everyone when I arrived in southern Xinjiang this time, so I don’t know what they were up to.

It is understandable that Gu Lan and others did not know Xu Guizhi's thoughts.

Xu Guizhi regained some of his memories and realized that the magic pattern sealing was all done by the demon-infused female cultivator that he had asked. He was confused for a moment and didn't know why he had done that at the time.

In addition, the immortal swords from the Xuantian Sword Sect's sword tomb flew over. He was able to order those immortal swords to penetrate into the earth veins and chop into pieces those maggots that were sucking spiritual energy from the spiritual veins. This really shocked and frightened him.

Also, in the small cave that disappeared in the black box before, Taoist Chang Ran said that he was his master, but Xu Guizhi had no impression of him at all.

It seems that he and Taoist Chang Ran are also master and disciple, so what sect does he belong to?

Why did you go to southern Xinjiang later?

Why don’t you remember what happened before?

No one could answer these questions, and they surrounded Xu Guizhi like a fog.

But Xu Guizhi felt that these things were all related, and if they were not solved one by one, there would definitely be danger.

It’s just that he doesn’t know whether the danger is to himself or to all living beings in the world.

Before the matter became clear, he didn't feel comfortable speaking to Gu Lan, because he had no idea where to start, and it would make it sound like nonsense. After much thought, he had no choice but to return to his cave in southern Xinjiang to look for the answer.

So when he arrived at the Nanjiang Post Station, he said goodbye to everyone and returned to the cave alone.

Xu Guizhi was not unfamiliar with the cave, which meant that he had indeed opened up this cave himself.

If I have done something, there will definitely be some clues. It would be better to look for it carefully and maybe I can find some information.

With such a mood, Xu Guizhi searched the cave carefully but found no clues at all. He had no choice but to walk into the meditation room, sat down on the cushion, and looked at the cave wall in front of him with some dejection.

This time he discovered something strange. He looked carefully and saw that there was a slightly raised stone on the wall of the cave, which was different from the other stones.

Xu Guizhi walked up to the stone and saw that it was as smooth as jade and delicate to the touch, and his expression changed.

There really is a secret!

Xu Guizhi stretched out his hand and pressed the stone, but couldn't move it. After thinking for a while, he turned the stone again. This time the stone loosened. Xu Guizhi continued to turn it until it could not be turned anymore.

Then I heard a rumbling sound and felt the ground beneath my feet vibrating and there was wind blowing. I looked sideways and saw that a wall next to me was rising.

Xu Guizhi walked in, and the lights inside lit up, illuminating the small secret room.

As the secret room opened, a cloud of dust blew in his face. Xu Guizhi raised his hand to cover the dust and waved it away. He waited for a while before moving forward.

As soon as you enter, you will see a stone platform in front of you, covered with a piece of cloth.

Xu Guizhi walked closer and lifted the cloth.

Seeing that the senior sister had not spoken for a long time, Xue Hao and Meng Xin exchanged glances.

It seems that the senior sister doesn’t know why either.

Gu Lan frowned, "I didn't know his identity before, and I called him senior. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to improve my swordsmanship. When I was kidnapped by the demon, it was also thanks to his help... In short, Uncle Xu is not a cold person. This time there are so many people accompanying us, so it is inconvenient for him to talk to us closely. All of this is understandable."

"In that case, next time we meet, I must ask Uncle Xu to teach me as well!" Xue Hao became excited.

Meng Xin was more stable and not so outgoing. He continued with Gu Lan's words, "Actually... people always have some secrets that are inconvenient to tell others. When the time comes, they will naturally tell it."

Gu Lan glanced at his fourth junior brother very quickly.

In terms of thoughtfulness, Fourth Junior Brother is indeed very capable.

Isn't this just for yourself?

She had some opinions about Xu Guizhi hiding the secret, but she was not that familiar with him. However, relying on the previous few days of getting along with him, she complained about his indifference and reserve when they met again.

I didn’t expect that Junior Brother Meng noticed it.
