Without practicing the Hehuan skill, the crazy leader has infinite charm

Chapter 338: Gift from Yunrong's Ancestor

A warm feeling surged in Yao Jia's heart. No matter what kind of changes the Nangong family would face in the future, with him and Xiu Lan by her side, she would have enough courage to face it.

The two smiled at each other and tacitly did not continue the topic.

Yao Jia looked around the room again, and her eyes were once again attracted by the several ancient books on the desk.

I walked over and flipped through them, and found that those ancient books were actually formation secrets, similar to the formation secrets in the Butterfly Valley Treasure Pavilion.

Ancestor Yunrong is Nangong Changnian’s father. It seems that most of the formation secrets there were created by Ancestor Yunrong.

What shocked her even more was that among these secret books was the 'Transfer Array' that she had lost in the border town.

"Sanlang, I want to stay here for a while and learn more about this formation. Can you wait for me?"

Gu Xiyan naturally agreed. Knowing that Yao Jia needed a quiet environment, he consciously left the house and strolled outside.

Time passed quietly, and before we knew it, the sun was setting. The afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on the peach forest, adding a bit of mystery and romance to this tranquil fairyland.

It was impossible for Yao Jia to comprehend the magic circle in such a short time, and she was embarrassed to take the secret book with her, so she had to memorize it first.

Put the secret book back in place and open the door to go out.

Gu Xiyan was not to be found outside the house, but smoke was rising from the kitchen not far away.

"Sanlang?" Yao Jia called out in confusion.

No one answered.

Walk quickly to the kitchen.

Gu Xiyan was busy around the stove, and there were already several plates of fried dishes on the chopping board.

It seemed like something was stewing in the pot, and the fragrance was everywhere.

"Where do the ingredients come from?" Yao Jia asked curiously.

Gu Xiyan turned around and smiled at her, stirring the pot with the spoon in his hand.

"I just looked around and found a large vegetable garden behind the house. This kitchen has everything, so I thought of getting something to eat."

Yao Jia walked forward and looked at the millet and red date porridge bubbling in the pot. She took a sniff and was instantly attracted by the sweet fragrance, which made her mouth water.

Her heart felt warm, and she leaned behind Gu Xiyan, put her arms around his waist, and buried her head in his back.

“Why not add red beans?”

Gu Xiyan paused, pursed his lips, and looked embarrassed. "The ingredients are limited. I will make you Sanhong porridge after we go out."

Yao Jia looked around the kitchen again. Gu Xiyan had already served the porridge, and the two of them were sitting around the dining table on the side.

Yao Jia picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of vegetable, put it in her mouth and chewed it.

Gu Xiyan bit his chopsticks and looked at her expectantly, asking for praise.

"good to eat."

Yao Jia smiled and nodded. Looking at Gu Xiyan's satisfied expression, she couldn't help laughing out loud, "Sanlang's craftsmanship has improved a lot compared to his previous life."

Gu Xiyan's eyes were full of doting, and he sighed, "It's a pity there is no meat, otherwise I would have made you some stir-fried meat."

Yao Jia drank the porridge, the sweet taste melting between her lips and teeth, "This is very good, this secret realm is really special."

Gu Xiyan nodded in agreement. "The vegetable garden and the peach orchard in front of the house are growing very well, as if someone takes care of them every day. This is too strange. Could it be that someone comes here often?"

Yao Jia denied his guess.

"Only the Nangong family can enter the secret realm. My mother never told me about it. It shows that only the two of us have been here since the secret realm formation was activated. The reason why it looks like it has been taken care of by someone can only mean that the secret realm will remain the same as it was when it was built."

After eating, the two continued to look for a way out. Unexpectedly, the exit this time was just a wooden door deep in the peach forest.

"I wonder what mechanism is behind this door." Yao Jia looked at the wooden door and fell into deep thought.

"What are you afraid of? I will stay with you even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire." Gu Xiyan said as he opened the wooden door.

Behind the wooden door it was pitch black and cold with gusts of wind.

Gu Xiyan's hair immediately stood on end. He swallowed and didn't dare to take a step forward.

Yao Jia pushed his stiff body and said, "Go in. Didn't you say you would accompany me through fire and water? Why don't you go in? Are you just talking nonsense?"

"How...how could it be?"

Gu Xiyan wanted to cry but had no tears. Ever since he came out of the last haunted house, he shrank back at the sight of the gloomy place. He was really afraid that another skeleton would fall on his head.

When Yao Jia saw Gu Xiyan like this, she felt both amused and helpless.

He looks brave and courageous on weekdays, but it turns out that he is actually afraid of ghosts in his heart.

Patting him on the back gently, he consoled him softly, "Don't be afraid, Sanlang. These are things left by my ancestors. They won't harm us. They are just trying to scare us for fun."

Gu Xiyan felt that what he said made sense. He took a deep breath, tried to calm the fear in his heart, nodded, held Yao Jia's hand tightly, and the two of them stepped into the darkness behind the wooden door side by side.

The passage becomes narrower as you go further in, until it can only accommodate one person.

It was pitch black all around, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

The cold wind blew from all directions, bringing with it an indescribable chill.

Gu Xiyan's palms began to sweat. He held Yao Jia's hand tightly, afraid of losing her in the darkness.

Yao Jia seemed relatively calm, groping along the stone wall and moving forward.

Unexpectedly, there was a "click" sound under his feet, and his body froze, as if he had stepped on some mechanism.

Then, his body sank and fell straight down.

“Yaoyao——” Gu Xiyan exclaimed, hugged Yao Jia tightly, and condensed all his internal strength.

But the body did not fall into the abyss as before, but slid down along an extremely smooth tunnel.

The tunnel seemed to be bottomless and had several bends. The two of them slid down faster and faster. Besides the sound of the wind, they could also hear the thumping of their heartbeats.

Gu Xiyan was full of worries. He was afraid that Yao Jia would get hurt, and he was also afraid that this tunnel would have no end.

Suddenly, a light appeared in front of the tunnel. The two men's eyes lit up and the fear in their hearts was slightly relieved.

As they got closer to the light, their speed slowed down.

Finally, the two of them fell into an extremely elastic net with a "whoosh" and were bounced several times by the net.

Gu Xiyan was still in shock and breathed a sigh of relief. It was a close call. Fortunately, there was no trap in the tunnel.

I looked up at Yao Jia and saw that she looked excited.

“I really want to play it again.”

Gu Xiyan: …………

"Can you find the entrance?"

Yao Jia looked around and found that the tunnel entrance had disappeared.

The two men climbed out of the net and, with the help of the oil lamp on the stone wall, they suddenly discovered that this was a spacious tomb.

There are several sarcophagi in the tomb.

Looking at the familiar Nangong family emblem on the sarcophagus, Yao Jia immediately realized where she was.

When I walked around to the front of the stone coffins, I saw the name "Nangong Yunrong" on one of the coffins.

“I didn’t expect that the end of the secret realm would be at the Spirit Gathering Platform.”

Spirit gathering platform?

Gu Xiyan's eyes moved slightly. In his previous life, he was just a male concubine and naturally had no qualifications to come here. He didn't expect that by chance in this life, he would come here with Yao Jia.

Yao Jia took him to kneel down and worship several ancestors one by one.

Just as he was about to get up, he heard a "click" sound from the coffin in front of him.

Looking up, a jade box embedded in Nangong Yunrong's coffin was ejected for no reason and landed right in front of Yao Jia.

He carefully picked up the jade box, and unexpectedly, the jade box opened automatically.

A thin notebook lay quietly inside, and on one side of the notebook was an exquisite necklace with a compass hanging on it.

Yao Jia picked up the compass and found four small rune characters "Nangong Jiayao" engraved on the back.

"This compass... was actually given to me!" Yao Jia stared at it, eyes full of surprise.

Unexpectedly, Ancestor Yunrong had such magical powers. Not only could he calculate that she would enter the secret realm, but he also left a gift for her.

Yao Jia was both surprised and delighted. This compass seemed to be a mysterious connection between her and her ancestor Yun Rong, making her feel inexplicably intimate and warm.

"Sanlang, look at this compass." Yao Jia handed the compass to Gu Xiyan, her eyes flashing with excitement.

Gu Xiyan took the compass and looked at it carefully. Although the technology used to make this compass dates back hundreds of years, the manufacturing technique was very sophisticated.

Even he couldn't help but admire the craftsmanship of the maker.

Yao Jia nodded repeatedly to show her agreement, "This compass was specially left to me by our ancestor Yun Rong. The rune on it is my name."

Gu Xiyan was even more amazed. He returned the compass to Yao Jia, but his eyes fell on the notebook. "What about this notebook? What's recorded on it?"

Yao Jia opened the notebook and glanced through it. It was just a record of interesting things in life back then. But after turning to the back, her face suddenly changed. She immediately put the notebook in her arms and took Gu Xiyan out of the tomb.
