Chapter 224 May I ask, Senior, who are you?
After the two parted, Lu Tianchun dragged his tired body and slowly walked back home. As soon as he entered the house, he went straight to the study and closed the door. He knew that if he wanted to catch up with Lan Xing, he had to work harder than ordinary people.
Lu Tianchun sat at the desk, closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and entered a state of selfless practice. As time passed, sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead, but he didn't care at all, and continued to concentrate on circulating the true energy in his body. He firmly believed that as long as he persevered, he would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Lan Xing one day.
On the other hand, Lan Xing also lived a plain life. In his spare time, he would unconsciously recall the little details of his acquaintance with Lu Tianchun, and a smile would appear on the corners of his mouth. The warm feeling flowed through his heart like a clear spring, making him feel extremely comfortable.
Lu Tianchun's cultivation level is improving day by day.
One day, a mysterious letter quietly arrived and fell into his hands. The words in the letter were concise and clear: You are invited to participate in a martial arts competition with many masters. Lu Tianchun knew that this was a good opportunity to improve his own strength and prove his own value, but it would be fleeting. He did not hesitate and resolutely embarked on a journey full of unknown challenges.
The atmosphere at the martial arts competition was tense and intense, with heroes from all walks of life gathered together, rubbing their hands, and eager to try. Lu Tianchun walked into the arena with a calm face. He fought his way through the barriers, became stronger when facing stronger opponents, and defeated many powerful enemies with a thunderous force, successfully reaching the top of the arena that everyone was watching.
At this moment, Lu Tianchun stood on the ring, his eyes flashing with determination and courage. With the referee's order, the game officially kicked off. Both sides were on the verge of a fight, each showing their own strengths, and it was difficult to tell who would win.
At the critical moment, Lu Tianchun used his unique skills, with unstoppable momentum.
In an instant, the opponent was defeated with all his flaws. Lu Tianchun won the championship with his superb skills and tenacious perseverance, and became the champion of the martial arts world!
Lan Xing smiled, took a few steps forward, and praised sincerely: "You are really making rapid progress and improving with each passing day!" Lu Tianchun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile and responded: "Thank you for the compliment. Without your help and encouragement, I am afraid it would be difficult to achieve this achievement."
After a moment of silence, Lu Tianchun suddenly asked, "Time flies. It's been a long time since we last met. I wonder how you are doing these days?" Lan Xing gladly accepted the invitation and replied, "Everything is fine. By the way, I heard that the Hanke region has been in constant war for many years, but recently it has unexpectedly united as one. How about we go together to find out what's going on?"
Lu Tianchun nodded slightly to show his agreement, and continued: "I have also heard that the jade flute in your hand is a sacred artifact left over from ancient times, which contains endless mysteries and magical powers. It is said that this ancient divine flute originally came from the Hanke area." Lan Xing admitted frankly: "It turns out that nothing can be hidden from you. One of the reasons for going to Hanzhong this time is to explore the secrets behind this divine flute."
Lan Xing's eyes showed a hint of anticipation, as if he couldn't wait to start this new adventure. So he suggested without hesitation: "There is no time to lose, let's set off immediately." Before he finished speaking, the two walked side by side, heading towards the Hanke area together.
Along the way, they cut through dense primeval forests and climbed over steep, rugged, and towering mountains. When they finally arrived at the legendary Hanko area after untold hardships, they were surprised to find that it was surprisingly quiet here, and there was indeed no sign of any conflict.
Lan Xing and Lu Tianchun did not dare to take it lightly and began to carefully look for clues everywhere. After a careful search, they finally found a stone tablet covered with mysterious runes in an ancient temple forgotten by time. These symbols are intricate and seem to contain endless secrets.
Lan Xing stared at the stone tablet, thinking. She suddenly remembered the jade flute she was carrying, and with an idea in her mind, she took it out and played it softly. The melodious flute sound echoed in the air, like the sound of nature.
Something unexpected happened! As the flute sounded, the strange symbols on the stone tablet began to flicker and emit a faint light. Then, the light became stronger and stronger, as dazzling as the sun, instantly illuminating the entire temple.
In this bright light, a vague figure gradually became clear... It was an old man with white hair and a kind face! He closed his eyes tightly and seemed to be sleeping. When the light shone on him, he slowly opened his eyes and stared at Lan Xing and Lu Tianchun with a gratified smile on his face.
"Young man, you are finally here." Along with these words, an old and mysterious aura emanated from the old man. His voice seemed to have traveled through thousands of years, carrying the traces of endless years.
Lan Xing and Lu Tianchun looked at each other, their eyes revealing deep doubts. They had never thought that someone would be waiting for them in this remote place. Lan Xing calmed down and asked, "Excuse me, senior, who are you? Why are you waiting here?"
The old man smiled slightly, and that smile seemed to contain all the wisdom in the world. He slowly replied: "I am the guardian of this temple. I have been watching here for a long time. Time flies, and years pass by, just waiting for the destined person to come. Seeing you two today, I know that my mission has been accomplished."
After hearing this, Lu Tianchun became more curious and asked, "So, what are you waiting for us for, senior?" As he spoke, his eyes involuntarily fell on the jade flute held tightly in Lan Xing's hand.
The old man followed his gaze, a gleam in his eyes, and said softly: "This jade flute is indeed an ancient artifact. The power it contains is enough to shake the world and change the world. However, because of this, if it is obtained by someone with ulterior motives, it will inevitably lead to catastrophic consequences, and all living things will suffer."
Lan Xing and Lu Tianchun were shocked when they heard this! The old man continued, "That's why I hope you can keep this artifact safe and don't let it fall into the hands of evil people. In addition, we need to find other ancient artifacts and bring them together again to work together to protect the peace of the world."
Lan Xing and Lu Tianchun nodded their heads in agreement, expressing their willingness to shoulder such an important task. The old man was pleased to see this, smiled slightly, and then turned into a beam of dazzling light and disappeared without a trace.
As Lan Xing and Lu Tianchun walked out of the temple, they felt increasingly depressed. They knew that the road ahead was long and full of obstacles, but they always believed in their hearts that as long as they had a firm belief, they would be able to overcome any difficulties and obstacles and successfully complete their sacred mission.
