C2653 The Truth of the Matter(part I)

Gui Long and Gui Liang's kowtowing didn't go so fast, but it left Lin Bai dumbfounded.

Although he could tell from their expressions that they didn't have any ill intentions towards him and Qing Lian, he didn't expect them to kneel down and call him master the moment they saw He Tu Luo Shu.

However, Lin Bai was also clear that the master of these two should not be him, but Qing Lian.

"What are you two doing, quickly get up …" Even though he understood all of this, Lin Bai still hurriedly stood up and moved in the direction in which the two of them knelt. After which, he extended his hand and picked them up from the ground, his face full of curiosity as he asked: "The two of you, have you and Senior Qing Lian been friends for some time? "What exactly is going on? Tell me quickly."

"Unexpectedly, truly unexpectedly, when I returned to the dragon's lifetime, I was still able to see Master's keepsake. My clan's thousand years of waiting were not in vain after all. We have finally arrived at this day …" After being pulled up by Lin Bai, Gui Long's expression was still very excited, but he continued to mutter to himself, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

Looking at Gui Long's excited expression, Lin Bai couldn't help but sigh. He could tell that Gui Long wasn't faking it at the moment, and the Gui Family clan was indeed as he said. They had been bitterly waiting for the news of Qing Lian in the Immortal World for countless years.

But what Lin Bai could not understand was what kind of relationship did the Gui clan have with the Blue Lotus? Why did the Dragon King call him Master after seeing the He Tuoluo Book? What he really wanted to know was why the green lotus was imprisoned on the Mount Kunlun, and why the green lotus who had created the Kunlun Mountains and pushed the Kunlun Mountains to their most glorious moments disappeared all of a sudden …

More importantly, what he wanted to find out the most was exactly what sort of connection existed between him and Qing Lian. As for the little black cat, old man Man, and the medicine doll, they all called him heaven's chosen one, what was the reason?

All these reasons had been lingering in Lin Bai's heart for far too long. Although he had been constantly searching for these enigmas, he had yet to find a reasonable answer. However, he felt that many of the questions in his heart might be answered today. Even if he could not completely solve them, some of the questions would clear up the fog.

"It's because this old servant lost his composure that I made little master laugh …" After a long while, Gui Long finally awoke from his state of excitement. He extended his hand to wipe the tears on his face before looking at Lin Bai apologetically.

But what surprised Lin Bai was that Gui Long actually started to call himself little master. Although he could hear the respect the dragon had for him from this form of address, Lin Bai still felt that something wasn't right.

In fact, the reason he wanted to find out what happened to the green lotus was not only because of the green lotus, but most importantly because even now, he still could not forget the hallucination in his heart. In that illusion, his and the green lotus were like two flowers that had bloomed in the air at different times.

This kind of feeling made Lin Bai feel extremely uncomfortable. Although he had already confirmed that the green lotus was the green lotus, and Lin Bai was Lin Bai, although they were similar, the scene in the illusion was still deeply imprinted in Lin Bai's heart, unforgettable.

It wasn't that he was special, but rather that he wanted to confirm that Lin Bai was Lin Bai. Everything that had happened around him, as well as all the emotions that he had experienced, had all been caused by his own heart, and not by an invisible hand.

"Did Master not tell little master that as long as you possess the He Tu Luo book, you have received master's inheritance. You are the owner of the Gui Yuan Sect's business and the object of many people's service?" At this moment, Gui Long also noticed the astonishment and awkwardness on Lin Bai's face. He immediately revealed a puzzled expression as he asked doubtfully.

"I don't know about that. I got the book by chance." Lin Bai slowly shook his head and then sternly said to Gui Long, "When I first met Senior Qing Lian on the Mount Shu Sword Sect, he also did not tell me about these things. He only said that when the time is up, I will eventually find out the answer to these questions."

Upon hearing Lin Bai's words, the bewilderment in Long Gui's brows deepened as he stared directly into Lin Bai's eyes, as if he wanted to see through Lin Bai's words to see if they were real. But as far as he could see, Lin Bai's eyes were clear and his chest was full of confidence, and he did not try to conceal anything.

"So that's how it is …" After pondering for a long time, Gui Long let out a soft sigh as if he understood something. He looked at Lin Bai meaningfully and said slowly, "Master must have done all this to protect you, little master. Because, little mistress, you will eventually leave the Mount Fangzhou and enter the secular world. In the secular world, if you were to find out about the secrets of this world, they will definitely be mercilessly wiped away from the world. "

What does this mean? Does it mean that whether it's the little black cat, the old savage grandpa, or the medicine doll, or Senior Qing Lian, they've never told him the whole story? It was not that they were deliberately concealing it or creating a mysterious atmosphere, but they were doing it to protect their own lives. They were afraid that if they knew everything, they would be cut off by an invisible force.

And from what Lin Bai thought, that formless energy might very well be the Heavenly Dao that was suppressing everyone else.

"I am unable to understand these answers in the mortal world. Senior, can you now tell me the whole story?" After thinking for a long time, Lin Bai used a probing tone to speak to Gui Long.

"This prison is not controlled by the Heavenly Dao. Of course, there's no harm in saying so." Gui Long lightly smiled when he heard this, but there was a lot of hatred in his tone, especially when he said the word 'prison'. He couldn't help but aggravate the situation.

"Prison?" Lin Bai frowned as he heard this. "Isn't this the Immortal World? Why is this also a prison?"

He really couldn't understand why Senior Qing Lian said that the blessed land on his side was a prison. And now, the dragon had said that it was obviously an extraordinary place with threatening spiritual energy. It was also a prison!

"Immortal World? What kind of immortal world was this? They thought that this would end things once and for all, but who would have thought that their Master would also imprison them in this cage, making them all become prisoners just like their Master! " Returning Dragon laughed when he heard this. His laughter was filled with hatred.

As for the Immortal World, it was also a cage! At this moment, Lin Bai was completely dumbfounded. He didn't understand why these two special existences were both in prison. Furthermore, from what Gui Long said, it seemed that this existence in the Immortal World was not created by the heavens but was created by the Blue Lotus to imprison everyone here.

However, when he was in the Kunlun Mountains, according to the Opening Spirit Beast and Luwu, the sects that had abandoned the Blue Lotus seemed to have gone into seclusion due to the lack of Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Those people seemed to have been forced into the prison of the Immortal World by Senior Qing Lian with peerless means.

There was absolutely no reason for Luwu and the Enlightened Spirit Beast to lie to him. However, judging from their expressions, it didn't seem like they were lying. And according to what the dragon said, it really does explain why the people in the Celestial Realm are so eager to open the Celestial Gate and open a pathway that connects them to the mortal world.

And now that Lin Bai thought about it, back when he was sealing the Celestial Gate, the so-called immortals' performances were indeed very similar to those desperate people who risked their lives in exchange for freedom. Only if it was as Gui Long said, those people weren't willing to enter the Immortal World, but were bound in this cage, would they be able to display such a crazy attitude.

All of this had already thoroughly lifted Lin Bai's appetite, making him want to find out the answer.

"Since you're here, little master, you must have been to the Kunlun Mountains and learned of some news." Seeming to be able to see the doubt in Lin Bai's heart, Gui Long smiled slowly, and then said slowly: "But little master, have you thought about it? Since even master doesn't dare to take the risk and tell you the truth, how could the information you obtained in Karakorum be completely correct? Could it be that they will not care about something that even their masters fear? "

That was indeed the case! The moment he said this, the doubt in Lin Bai's heart regarding the falsehood in Lu Wu's and Gui Long's words suddenly came to his mind. Just as Gui Long had said, the Blue Lotus was unable to tell him the truth even when it was as strong as his cultivation. How could it be possible for the two who were much weaker than him to say everything without taking the risk?

There was only one answer that could explain all of this, and that was the inside information of the spirit beasts and Luwu. The truth was that everything they knew was one-sided. It was also because they were one-sided that they were able to unshackled and tell him everything they knew.

"Senior Gui, what is the truth of this matter? Can you tell me?" After a long moment of silence, Lin Bai said.

"I can tell you everything I know." Gui Long slightly nodded when he heard this. Then, his expression suddenly became much more serious. He looked into Lin Bai's eyes and said word by word:

"Just before I explain everything, I want to ask, little master, are you ready to know everything? You have to understand that when I tell you the truth about this matter, you have to bear the burden of my old master's unfinished work and do everything in your power to accomplish it! "Even if you go all out, the result could still be the worst …"

"Not only that, once you obtain this answer, it is very likely that the closest person to you will fall into a most terrifying crisis. Once there is a flaw, nothing can be done about it …"
