Nine Turns of Nirvana

Dang clang, clang clang...

The heavy shackles dragged on the bluestone-paved ground, making bursts of sharp and ear-piercing sounds.

Chen Taizhou returned to Youquan Pass again. It was completely different from the darkness and coldness before. At this time, the Youquan Pass was bright, bright and green, and it looked like a vibrant scene... If he had not been here before, the surrounding buildings would still remain intact. From the rough outline, he simply couldn't believe that this was the dark prison it once was.

Not only the external scenery, but also the people staying here are completely different from the previous situation. Many people were originally prisoners here. When he was imprisoned here, he even met some of them. But at this time, these people have all regained their freedom, and with pious and solemn faces, they seem to have become devout believers here.

Before that, Chen Taizhou also heard about some of the great changes that happened here... But no matter what, he did not expect that the changes here would be so huge, which shocked him deeply.

And all of this is related to the mysterious guy named "Li Feng", including his return here this time, also because of this person's instruction... He couldn't help but think of the scene when the two separated last time, when the guy and Like himself, he is also a prisoner here. He can't imagine what kind of turning point happened in the middle, which could make things change so drastically.

Although his ears were about to get calluses from hearing the related deeds, he really couldn't understand how that guy did it.

He couldn't help but think of what that person had said to him back then - if you had a chance to choose again, what decision would you make?

Now that man went to great lengths to call me over, was he going to give himself such a chance?

Chen Taizhou felt hesitant and anxious in his heart, and at the same time there was a trace of emotion that he couldn't explain, which seemed to be called longing...

"Sister Wen, you are finally here..."

Chen Taizhou was led here by Wen Caidi, but a group of disciples suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

Chen Taizhou only recognized two of them, one named Xu Jinnian and the other named Qian Yiming. They were both the guards here. Unexpectedly, the situation here has changed drastically. They have also transformed and are still the maintainers of order here.

"The Lord of Youquan has already given instructions. As soon as you arrive, you can go see him immediately. He is waiting for you..." Qian Yiming said.

Wen Caidi raised her eyebrows slightly: "The Lord of Youquan?"

Qian Yiming said: "This is Senior Brother Li Feng's latest title..."

"Is this a nickname he named himself, or was it a nickname you gave him?" Wen Caidi asked.

Qian Yiming said: "After the great change, the entire Youquan Pass was in chaos. It was Senior Brother Li Feng who rectified the place and restored order here. He also said that those who want to continue to stay here must abide by the rules he made. There are no rules, so everyone spontaneously respects him as the master of the quiet spring..."

"In addition, we have all heard about the battle between Senior Brother Li Feng and Senior Brother Lu Chenfeng at the Twelve Peaks of He'an. Even the Grand Masters have acquiesced to the fact that he occupied this place. It can be said that he truly deserves his title..."

Wen Caidi said nothing more.

Although she was very uncomfortable with such changes, she had to admit that it was indeed a fact. Li Feng already had the strength to compete with the powerful masters. His current status was far beyond what they could match. Even the generals He is called "Senior Brother Li Feng", which is already considered a high level.

"Where is he?" Wen Caidi asked again.

"Please follow me!" Qian Yiming bowed and led Wen Caidi deeper into Youquan Pass.

Chen Taizhou naturally followed suit, but before he could move forward, the chains under his feet made a harsh clanking sound again.

Qian Yiming turned around, frowned and said: "Senior Sister Wen, why is he still in shackles now? Senior Brother Li Feng said that Youquan Pass is no longer a prison, as long as you follow the rules he set from now on, No matter what crimes he has committed in the past, they will be wiped out, and he will be responsible for any problems that arise..."

Wen Caidi said: "No wonder so many people linger here, reluctant to leave, and willingly regard him as the master of the quiet spring... But it is not that I intentionally put shackles on him, but these shackles are Tian The grandmaster has set it up and it hasn’t been unlocked yet. If you have a way, why not try to open it for him?”

Qian Yiming sweatdropped: "Senior Sister Wen is joking. Since it is a restriction set by Grandmaster Tian, ​​how am I qualified to open it... Even so, let's wait for Senior Brother Li Feng to open it for him!"

Wen Caidi said: "You have great confidence in Li Feng. Are you so sure that he can open these shackles?"

Qian Yiming said: "It's not that we are superstitious about Senior Brother Li Feng's strength. You have also seen the situation here, Senior Sister Wen. The entire Youquan Temple has been completely transformed. This is a shocking stroke. It's just a pair of shackles. Even if it is the work of Grandmaster Tian." Hypothesis, I believe it is nothing to Senior Brother Li Feng..."

Wen Caidi smiled noncommittally and said, "I hope so!"

But I can't help but think silently in my heart: If you knew the origin of this shackles, you probably wouldn't be so optimistic...

In fact, she herself didn't know the origin of these shackles. She only knew that this was the only condition for Grandmaster Tian to let Chen Taizhou leave, that is, to let him wear these shackles.

As for the deep meaning behind doing this, she didn't know...

Also, why did that guy insist on finding Chen Taizhou?

What was his purpose in meeting Chen Taizhou? What is the key thing about Chen Taizhou? This is also a huge question...

All of this may only be answered after meeting the so-called "Brother Li Feng", the current master of Youquan.

The interior of Youquan Pass is full of twists and turns.

Although it is no longer dark and gloomy here, the complexity between the passages is still the same, but it has a completely different meaning than before.

Wen Caidi couldn't tell what this feeling was like. She only felt that the Youquan Pass was changing for no reason at this time, and there was a magnificent momentum in the complexity. Just walking among it, she felt an inexplicable feeling. Mysterious power.

After a while, they came to a place with a gurgling stream. The bright sunshine penetrated the gaps in the dense woods and scattered in the middle of the clear stream. The water surface swayed slightly, and the light and shadow were refracted, making it look beautiful.

"We're here." Qian Yiming suddenly stopped, "This is it."

"here?"

Wen Caidi looked around and couldn't help showing doubts.

Although the environment here is very special, Lu Yu is not seen.

"Where are Li Feng and others?" Wen Caidi asked, "Didn't you say he was waiting for me?"

"That's indeed what he said..." Qian Yiming bowed, but before he could finish his words, an erratic voice interrupted him.

"I'm already here!"

Who else besides Li Feng’s voice?

As soon as he finished speaking, the gurgling stream suddenly swelled up and turned into a rolling water force in the blink of an eye, like a dragon.

The water-like "dragon" keeps twisting and twisting, forming a dark entrance. It looks mysterious and unpredictable, and it is unknown where it leads.

"Come in yourselves!"

Lu Yu's voice came out from the black hole.

Wen Caidi was astonished and didn't know what was going on... Let alone her, even Qian Yiming across from him looked surprised. Apparently he had never seen such a scene.

At this point, Wen Caidi couldn't help but think too much and walked directly into the black cave.

Chen Taizhou also followed closely behind.

Qian Yiming hesitated for a moment and wanted to follow him in, but at this moment the water flowed extremely fast, and a powerful impact came, pushing him out.

Immediately afterwards, the water flowed out in all directions, and soon returned to calmness, as if what happened just now had never happened.

Qian Yiming immediately understood that Lu Yu did not welcome him...but what happened just now still made him feel extremely shocked.

…

On the other side, Wen Caidi felt herself being drawn into a long and narrow passage. She didn't know how long it took before her eyes suddenly became clear.

She saw streams of water that seemed to be substantial appearing in her eyes. If the stream of water just now was a dragon, then what appeared in front of her now was a stream of water formed by countless dragons twisted together. Tuan Mahua.

Wen Caidi was stunned.

She never expected that there was such a world hidden in the deepest part of Youquan Pass... She couldn't help but think of the legend about Youquan Pass. Youquan Pass was originally built on a spiritual spring, but for some unknown reason The Spiritual Vein Youquan suddenly dried up and disappeared. Although Youquan Pass was named Youquan, it actually existed in name only.

And what is happening in front of us at this moment is the legendary Youquan?

He actually found it again? And the momentum and scene are even better than before?

Wen Caidi opened her mouth slightly, too surprised to say a word...

Chen Taizhou also looked shocked. Although he didn't know the details of Youquan Pass, the scene in front of him was indeed extraordinary.

"Senior Sister Wen, what are you looking at?"

Lu Yu's voice sounded beside him, and at some point he had already walked to the side, but Wen Caidi didn't notice it at all.

"You...you...here is..." She was incoherent in surprise.

Lu Yu smiled and said: "Yes, it's what you think. This is the legendary Youquan. I also spent a lot of effort to turn it into this... But I'm not letting you in. To appreciate it as it is now..."

He paused for a moment, turned to look at Chen Taizhou aside, and smiled casually:

"Brother Chen, long time no see, have you thought about it now?"
