Misguided practice of sinister cultivation techniques: Slander! The problem lies with you all, not me!-Chapter 1074 - 557: The Big Secret on the Moon (Part 2)

She looked confused and asked, "Tonight, you didn't drink that much Ning Qing wine, right?"

Duan Yun said, "I saw a pair of eyes on the moon."

The Murong brothers said, "I saw the moon grow hair."

Feng Ling'er said, "I saw two maggots with pretty girl heads."

Shen Ying pondered, "I saw the Nine Dragon Coffin."

Then, everyone turned their gaze to Ziyu.

Fairy Ziyu suddenly woke up from her drowsiness and, puzzled, said, "I remember the chicken stew with mushrooms was cooked properly tonight."

She always felt like this group had eaten poisonous mushrooms tonight.

After Duan Yun explained the situation, Ziyu couldn't help but pat her head and said, "Even in my writing, I couldn't make this up."

Ever since absorbing the Moonlight, everyone in Yuzhu Manor saw the moon differently.

Ziyu analyzed, "Could it be that this Moonlight is poisonous, and after absorbing it, you all had hallucinations about the moon?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Yun's eyes lit up.

Because this was a relatively reasonable explanation.

One could only say that Ziyu's words provided them with another perspective to look at this issue.

At this moment, Ning Qing had finished drawing her treasure map.

Ziyu leaned in, took a careful look, and said, "Isn't this the mountain on the west side of Yun State?"

The treasure map depicted a mountain range, with rivers beneath it and some strange patterns.

You couldn't tell at a glance where it was, anyway, Duan Yun and the others couldn't.

But Ziyu figured it out.

"Look at the shape of this mountain range; this should be our Yun State's Four Girls Mountain, and this river is called Qujiang, just happens to bypass this Golden River Mouth," Ziyu explained.

At this time, Ziyu's expression became serious and said, "To verify whether what you saw were hallucinations, follow this treasure map for a round. If there's really a treasure..."

Instantly, everyone's expressions turned peculiar.

If the treasure map was real, then Ziyu's claim of hallucination wouldn't hold water, which only suggested that the moon had undergone some changes beyond their comprehension.

Ning Qing looked at the map with some trepidation and asked, "Should we really go?"

Ning Qing was not the most skilled in Martial Arts at Yuzhu Manor, but she was certainly not the weakest.

Due to the foundation of "Mingyu Skills," she was quite unpredictable; at her weakest, even Little Yin couldn't defeat her, and at her strongest, even Feng Ling'er couldn't suppress her.

But no matter how capricious or weak she was, she was still able to roam freely in the Martial World.

Yet, at this moment, she was somewhat fearful of this treasure map.

Four Girls Mountain was in a very remote place in Yun State, deep in the mountains, with treacherous terrain. But for a master like her, coming and going wasn't something particularly difficult.

She should be afraid of what's inside.

The Murong brothers said, "I'll go with you; the two of us working closely together can handle anything."

But it was clear that even with the Murong brothers accompanying her, Ning Qing still seemed a bit nervous.

Because she knew, although the Murong brothers were strong, their strength in Yuzhu Manor was only under Duan Yun, yet in her eyes, they sometimes seemed like children and had their weaknesses.

For instance, encountering an opponent who resembled a pretty girl, they'd be lucky to exert half of their full power. Moreover, they weren't familiar with that place, and like her, they weren't skilled at treasure hunting. They might even get lost.

Ziyu said, "I'll come too. You all can't understand the treasure map."

It was then that Ning Qing finally nodded in reassurance.

The three Great Heroes of Yuzhu Manor setting out, along with an all-knowing "Fairy Ziyu," left little worry.

For a moment, no one went to sleep, and they all discussed the moon above.

Perhaps because there were more people like them, those who were initially a little afraid like the Murong brothers gradually became less fearful.

The Murong brothers, in high spirits, even urinated towards the moon.

Their stream was powerful, like an arrow, seemingly eager to shoot down the moon.

And at this moment, the moon seemed somewhat shy of their display and retreated into the moonlight.

Unconsciously, dawn broke.

The Murong brothers, Ning Qing, and Ziyu set out without having breakfast.

Because treasure hunting is something that easily excites people, especially when this treasure map's origin was particularly mysterious.

This might be the first treasure map seen from the moon.

Before setting out, Duan Yun also took a moment to speak with the three of them.

Ziyu and the others would leave markers at critical locations, and just in case, if they had some accident and there was no news for a month, others could follow the markers to find them.

The chance of this happening wasn't high, but it added another layer of insurance for the three.

....

Four Girls Mountain, located to the west of Yun State.

It's also known as "Shigu Laruoda," meaning Divine Mountain. It's called "Four Girls Mountain" because the range has four peaks, with "Youngest Sister Peak" as the main peak.

The treasure on the map was coincidentally located on Youngest Sister Peak.

Four Girls Mountain is a Divine Mountain, said to be where four celestial maidens descended to the mortal world, transforming into four beautiful peaks.

Going to Four Girls Mountain isn't easy; not only is it tall and distant, but the terrain is also treacherous.

A random slip or a small stone falling while traveling could be fatal.

Yet, Four Girls Mountain wasn't a mountain no one paid attention to.

At the base of Four Girls Mountain is a nunnery named "Snow Hut."

Snow Hut isn't a major sect in the Martial World and doesn't have any glorious achievements. Few know which Bodhisattva it's dedicated to.

But over the years, people have overcome numerous obstacles, making a pilgrimage to worship.

For instance, on the road ahead of the Murong brothers, there was a man and a woman kneeling in worship on the perilous mountain path.

The path was full of stones; this act of kneeling and walking was tantamount to torture.

These two didn't seem like martial artists, but their faces bore no sign of pain, only calmness and devoutness as they continued forward.

These were the "pilgrims" on the road.

One could only say that something in Four Girls Mountain or the Snow Hut attracted them to proceed this way.

Along the treacherous mountain path, one could occasionally spot bones by the roadside, presumably the remains of pilgrims who perished along the way.

This relatively easy route for the Murong brothers was extremely dangerous for ordinary people.

For example, now, there was a sudden thud, and the Murong brothers instinctively ducked their heads, looking like a mother hen.

It was the silent tumble of a few rocks from above; the Murong brothers reacted quickly, dodging two but getting hit by the third.

The Murong brothers touched the bump on their heads, cursing under their breath.

For martial artists with a Protective Body, it was just a bump, but for ordinary people, it would be a death sentence.

This showcased the inherent danger of the path.

On the seventh day, as the Murong brothers traversed the rugged mountain path, a sudden turn elicited gasps of astonishment.

They stood on a narrow path, a towering snow-capped mountain emerging as they rounded the corner.

This snowy mountain had four peaks, covered in pristine white snow, appearing picturesque and elegant.

Beneath this picturesque beauty, standing there, people seemed particularly insignificant. At this moment, sunlight was casting onto two of the peaks, giving them a sacred golden hue.

In the eyes of the Murong brothers, it was like maidens draped in wedding veils, appearing especially enchanting.

At this juncture, even the three of them felt an urge to kneel toward this Divine Mountain.

One could only say that the natural wonders indeed have the power to create a profound impact.

Now that the mountain stood right before them, Ziyu took out the treasure map, looked at the surroundings, and said, "Going that way is correct; the rest is to conquer that mountain."

The Murong brothers got excited instantly and said, "Conquer it fiercely!"
