Chapter 331 The Man Who Cuts Down Hanging Things, Wu Gang
If the treasure Chen Changsheng mentioned is located elsewhere, Chang'e can certainly take him there.
However, the location of this laurel grove is a forbidden area.
Even she couldn't get in.
Chen Changsheng paused, his lips parted slightly, as if about to say something.
Just then, a commotion suddenly came from the laurel grove in front of them.
"rustle……"
Upon hearing the sound, both Chen Changsheng and Chang'e were surprised and looked in the direction of the sound.
You could hear steady footsteps approaching from the depths of the laurel grove.
"boom!"
At the same time, a sense of vicissitude and profound weight also emanated from it.
Soon, a tall and imposing figure appeared in the shadows of the trees, before Chen Changsheng and Chang'e's eyes.
The newcomer appeared to be middle-aged, with a simple and honest face, bronze skin, a short beard, and calm, deep eyes that seemed to have seen all the vicissitudes of life.
His clothes were simple, just a coarse gray robe, and he was barefoot, stepping on the ground covered with silver osmanthus flowers.
Most strikingly, the man casually held a dark, dull, and crudely shaped axe in his right hand.
The axe blade appeared blunt and clumsy, yet it possessed a hidden sharpness.
When Chang'e saw this person, she was startled and immediately recognized him as Wu Gang.
Chen Changsheng saw this and thought to himself:
"Is he Wu Gang?"
"Why does he look like... a barbarian?"
Although Wu Gang's appearance and clothing greatly surprised Chen Changsheng.
But what shocked him even more was...
He couldn't even detect the depth of Wu Gang's cultivation level.
It should be noted that Chen Changsheng possessed the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, yet when he probed with his divine sense at Wu Gang's body, it was as if a mud ox had entered the sea.
"How is that possible?"
"I can't even see through Wu Gang's cultivation level?"
"Could it be that he is a being surpassing even the Great Luo Immortal?"
Upon thinking of this, Chen Changsheng was deeply shaken.
After all, in his impression, Wu Gang didn't seem to be any extraordinary power.
After a moment's thought, two possibilities arose in Chen Changsheng's mind.
Either Wu Gang possesses some kind of magical artifact that can prevent being spied on.
Either Wu Gang's true cultivation level far exceeds the limits he can currently perceive.
Of course, either way, it's enough to show that this Wu Gang is no ordinary person!
He's not the simple punished woodcutter from mythology!
Just as the two hesitated and were stunned, Wu Gang glanced at them indifferently and said calmly:
"Come in!"
As Wu Gang finished speaking, the barrier surrounding the laurel grove rippled and then automatically opened.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng and Chang'e exchanged a glance and then stepped inside.
Wu Gang didn't pay any attention and continued walking ahead.
Chen Changsheng and Chang'e followed closely behind Wu Gang.
The three of them walked along the path and soon arrived at the center of the laurel grove.
The laurel trees here are even older and taller, and the natural patterns on their trunks seem to contain Taoist charm.
At the very center stands a majestic osmanthus tree, its trunk enormous and its canopy spreading wide.
It is the mother laurel tree.
Not far from the mother laurel tree, there was a very simple thatched hut.
There is a smooth bluestone in front of the hut.
After leading Chen Changsheng and Chang'e here, Wu Gang walked to the thatched hut, casually leaned the ancient axe in his hand against the bluestone, and sat down on a stone stool.
Then, his gaze sharpened as he looked at Chen Changsheng and Chang'e, who had followed them.
Upon catching Wu Gang's gaze, Chang'e was the first to bow slightly to him:
"Greetings, Senior Wu Gang!"
Wu Gang remained indifferent, knowing full well that Chang'e was his neighbor.
At this moment, Chen Changsheng also bowed to Wu Gang:
"Chen Changsheng, a disciple of the Jie Sect, greets Senior."
Chen Changsheng also replied respectfully.
Wu Gang nodded indifferently, his gaze sweeping over the two of them before finally settling on Chen Changsheng.
With his keen eyesight, he could naturally tell at a glance that Chen Changsheng was a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Its solid foundation and vigorous vitality are truly rare among those of the same level.
In addition, Chen Changsheng seems to possess a powerful Daoist aura.
What surprised Wu Gang the most was...
When he briefly examined Chen Changsheng's fate and causal connections, he discovered that his destiny was chaotic and the secrets of heaven were obscured, as if shrouded in a layer of mist!
"strangeness!"
"How could they not foresee this child's fate!"
"That's interesting!"
Wu Gang felt a slight ripple in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm and composed, and then asked indifferently:
"What brings you two little ones to my quiet place?"
When Wu Gang asked, Chang'e parted her lips slightly, but didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at Chen Changsheng standing to the side.
Chen Changsheng remained calm and composed, saying neither servilely nor arrogantly:
"Replying to Senior."
"This junior happened to pass by this star. Due to my special cultivation of supernatural powers, I vaguely sensed that there might be some hidden treasures in your secluded place of cultivation. Therefore, I have taken the liberty of coming here to have a look."
"If this has caused any disturbance, I hope you will forgive me, senior."
Upon hearing what Chen Changsheng said, Wu Gang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter:
"Hahaha!"
"A fortuitous treasure?"
After laughing for a while, he finally spoke:
"The little brat from the Jie Sect."
Do you know how many years I have been here?
Chen Changsheng was taken aback and shook his head.
Wu Gang didn't rush to speak. He slightly raised his gaze, a hint of indescribable remoteness flashing in his eyes, before saying:
"Since the beginning of time, when the power of the moon shone here and formed this secret realm, I have been here."
"During this period, I witnessed the change of the Moon Goddess, the rise and fall of the Lich King, and the silence that lasted for countless eons..."
"Every grain of sand, every stone, every blade of grass, and every tree here is within my perception, changing with the passage of time."
Having said that, Wu Gang turned his gaze back to Chen Changsheng and continued:
"You say there are hidden treasures and opportunities here that even I haven't discovered?"
"Is...that possible?"
Seeing Wu looking at him, Chen Changsheng remained calm and asked:
"So, you don't believe me, senior?"
Wu Gang smiled and said:
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I think it's impossible."
"If there truly were hidden treasure, how could I not know?"
Faced with Wu Gang's questioning, Chen Changsheng remained calm and smiled faintly:
"Since you don't believe me, why don't you let me give it a try and dig out that treasure?"
"If I have misunderstood, I will apologize to you and leave immediately, and will never disturb your peace again."
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Wu Gang nodded in agreement without hesitation:
"good!"
"If you can truly unearth any treasures or opportunities here, those treasures will naturally be yours!"
While saying this, Wu Gang was actually quite curious.
I also want to see how Chen Changsheng will dig up treasures here.
