Chapter 140: Wonderful Pattern
"Manniu, do you understand?" Li Qiankun asked in a low voice, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination.
Manniu nodded, a serious look appearing on his rugged face. "I understand, Brother Li. I will keep an eye on these mercenaries and won't let them do anything reckless."
"Very good, let's go." Li Qiankun said in a deep voice, then waved his hand, signaling everyone to start moving.
As a sect elder, Granny Jinfeng was intimately familiar with the valley's terrain and secrets. She walked at the front, her steps steady, guiding the group. The mercenaries behind her, while still wary and indifferent, had become noticeably more restrained, no longer daring to act with the same reckless abandon they had previously.
"Grandma, is there really a treasure in this valley?" Zhang Chulan asked curiously, his eyes flashing with excitement.
Granny Jinfeng smiled slightly and didn't answer directly: "You'll know when you get there."
However, the cooperation was not smooth sailing. As time went on, the mercenaries began to reveal their true nature. They began to secretly hunt animals in the valley, and some even began to covet the treasures in the hands of Li Qiankun and others.
"These people are really going too far." Manniu reported to Li Qiankun in a low voice, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
Li Qiankun nodded slightly, his expression still calm: "I know, but now is not the time. We must remain calm and wait for the right opportunity."
As night fell, the valley was completely silent. Li Qiankun and his companions, using the faint moonlight, quietly followed the mercenaries. They found them gathered together, with several freshly killed animals placed around a campfire.
"Just as expected." Li Qiankun snorted coldly, then signaled everyone to take action.
Under the cover of the night, Li Qiankun and his men quickly subdued the mercenaries. They sternly warned them not to violate the agreement again. Overwhelmed by Li Qiankun's aura, the mercenaries bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes.
After this incident, the mercenaries became more restrained. However, Li Qiankun and his companions did not let down their guard. They knew that these mercenaries could reveal their true nature at any time.
Over the next few days, the group continued their exploration into the valley, passing through dense jungles, crossing turbulent rivers, and finally arriving at a mysterious valley.
"Is this... the legendary treasure trove?" Zhang Chulan exclaimed, his eyes flashing with curiosity and anticipation.
Li Qiankun did not answer, but looked around cautiously. He knew that this valley was full of dangers and secrets.
In the valley, Zhang Chulan was deeply attracted by the scenery before him. He marveled at the wonders of nature and marveled at the mystery and magnificence of this land.
"Mother-in-law, it's so beautiful here." Zhang Chulan couldn't help but say, his voice full of awe and yearning.
Granny Jinfeng smiled slightly, a flicker of memory in her eyes. "Yes, this place is indeed beautiful. Back then, when I first came here with the leader, I was also stunned by the sight. Back then, we were filled with passion and dreams, wanting to discover more secrets in this valley."
At that moment, Baoerjie walked towards a forest with a blank expression, her steps firm and powerful. Suddenly, two golden monkeys descended from the sky and landed in front of Baoerjie. They circled around Baoerjie curiously, as if they had found something interesting.
"This...what's going on?" Zhang Chulan exclaimed in surprise. He had never seen Sister Baoer so gentle.
Granny Jinfeng watched Sister Baoer interact with the golden monkeys, tears welling up in her eyes. She knew that the reason these golden monkeys were so close to Sister Baoer was because Sister Baoer had a similar aura to the leader.
"Mother-in-law, Sister Baoer and these golden monkeys..." Li Qiankun also noticed this scene and asked curiously.
Granny Jinfeng shook her head and didn't answer directly: "Some things you will understand later."
Everyone continued to move forward, but their hearts were full of doubts and speculations about the relationship between Sister Baoer and the golden monkey.
Led by the golden monkey, the group continued through the valley. Manniu, carrying his gun, followed at the rear with a look of disdain. He clearly had no interest in this forest and only wanted to find the treasure and leave as quickly as possible.
After walking for a while, they arrived at a long corridor. Both sides of the corridor were covered with emerald green wall lilies and various unknown herbs, emitting a faint fragrance. The walls of the corridor were faintly engraved with patterns, seemingly chaotic but imbued with profound truths.
"These patterns are so strange." Zhuge Qing took a closer look, a puzzled look on his face.
Wang Ye also nodded: "Yes, these patterns seem to be related to our destiny."
Ding Shimaan closed his eyes, carefully sensing the surrounding atmosphere. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, his brow furrowed. "Strange, my luck seems to be hindered here."
Upon hearing this, everyone stopped and began to carefully sense their own luck. Manniu also touched the wall with his hand and frowned, saying, "It's indeed not right. The luck is not flowing smoothly."
Ding Shiman was about to remove the creeper when Grandma Jinfeng snorted, "You young people really don't know your place. These patterns and layouts are meticulously designed. How can you destroy them at will?"
Everyone was startled by Grandma Jinfeng's words and stopped. Zhang Chulan smiled awkwardly and said, "Grandma is right. We were indeed reckless."
Granny Jinfeng sighed and explained, "This valley is where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges. These patterns and layouts are designed to guide and control this spiritual energy. If you destroy it at will, you will probably cause unnecessary trouble."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Li Qiankun bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Grandma. We will be careful."
Led by Zhang Chulan and Wang Ye, everyone began to carefully observe the patterns on both sides of the corridor. These patterns varied in pattern, some resembled twisted characters, while others looked like some kind of mysterious totem.
"These patterns... seem to be related to our Qi." Zhang Chulan said again, with a hint of certainty in his voice.
"Yes, from what I've seen, these patterns seem to be able to guide the flow of Qi." Wang Ye also nodded in agreement.
At this time, Granny Jinfeng slowly walked over to the crowd, a hint of nostalgia flashing in her eyes: "These patterns are what the leader left behind."
"Leader? The leader you are talking about, could it be..." Xia Liuqing asked in surprise, with a hint of trembling in his voice.
Granny Jinfeng didn't answer directly, but instead gave Xia Liuqing a deep look. She seemed lost in memories, her eyes becoming distant and deep.
"Mother-in-law, do you know the leader?" Zhang Chulan asked curiously, his heart full of doubts and curiosity.
Granny Jinfeng nodded gently: "Of course I know him, he is my master and the person I respect the most."
Everyone was surprised when they heard this. They hadn't expected that Granny Jin Feng had such a deep connection with the legendary leader.
"These patterns were created by the leader to guide and control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth," Granny Jinfeng continued, her voice tinged with awe and emotion. "He once said that only by truly understanding the mysteries of these patterns can one master the power of heaven and earth's spiritual energy."
After saying this, Granny Jinfeng closed her eyes and began to silently comprehend the mystery within the pattern. Seeing this, Xia Liuqing quickly followed suit and sat down, beginning to meditate.
Li Qiankun was moved as he watched Granny Jinfeng and Xia Liuqing's actions. He seemed to see his former master and fellow apprentices, who were also silently comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth.
"Should we... try it too?" Zhang Chulan asked in a low voice, with a hint of anticipation in his voice.
Li Qiankun nodded slightly: "Alright, maybe we can really learn something from these patterns."
Then, everyone sat down and began to quietly comprehend the mystery of the pattern. They seemed to have entered a mysterious world, feeling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth flowing and changing within their bodies.
As time went by, people gradually understood the mysteries of the patterns. They discovered that these patterns were not only related to luck, but also closely connected to profound principles such as the Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Eight Trigrams, and the Book of Changes.
"I see..." Zhang Chulan exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with excitement, "These patterns are truly amazing!"
Li Qiankun also nodded: "Yes, this is really an eye-opener for us."
