Chapter 298.

In the midst of this verdant mountain, as this sultry voice came out, it immediately startled a crowd of flying birds.

In the forest, a breeze blew through, and the woods began to shake violently, emitting a clattering sound.

The sky was originally sunny and clear, but with the sound of this voice, the sunny sky, in an instant, became covered in dark clouds.

The breeze slowly turned into a gale, blowing one’s ears raw.

A streak of lightning echoed the fierce wind, and the sound of thunder mirrored the dark clouds.

“One sentence, changing the heavenly scene?”

Zhou An’s eyes carried a hint of surprise.

This kind of strength was definitely at the level of Eunuch Wei, and just a single sentence of grudging words could make the heavens and earth change color.

An Absolute Enlightenment Realm expert would not be able to do the same.

Because ascending to the heavens, represented the top of the heavens, when raising one’s hand, it came with a terrifying heavenly authority.

Just like when Eunuch Wei struck not too long ago, Meng Yun’s orb that was enough to destroy half of the country’s capital was nothing more than a toy in Eunuch Wei’s hands.

This kind of scene also made Zhou An even more curious about who Eunuch Wei was about to meet.

“All of you are old-timers, you still have to take some juniors into consideration.”

Eunuch Wei took a step forward and stood in front of Zhou An.

A Yin Qi as deep as the ocean appeared from Eunuch Wei’s body and rose up to the sky.

The original environment where the heavens and earth were about to tumble instantly disappeared and became clear again.

In the woods, the ghostly voice came once again.

“He is Zhou An? The one rumored in the rivers and lakes, your illegitimate son?”

Eunuch Wei tucked his hand back into his sleeve: “Do you still not know if we have a bastard?”

Zhou An looked left and right.

He always felt that there was a big melon that was waiting for him.

Now, what he needs to do is just to be a qualified melon eater.

Black Jade also followed Zhou An’s example, looking left and right, and even took out a candy man from her pink money bag and began to show off Kuku.

Her melon eating skills were higher than Zhou An’s.

Although Eunuch Wei didn’t turn around, he could also sense that Zhou An and Heiyu’s situation at this moment, and couldn’t help but have the corners of his mouth twitch slightly.

He felt that he shouldn’t have brought the two of them over this time, he felt that after he brought them over, he was particularly embarrassed instead, these two little guys, it was like they were watching a circus around them, making himself look like a monkey jumping up and down.

Fortunately, Eunuch Wei’s embarrassment was soon alleviated, in the depths of the woods, there is no longer a distant sound.

Instead, there was a figure that slowly walked out from the middle of the woods, and the moment this figure walked out, it also attracted the attention of Zhou An and Black Jade.

Zhou An’s gaze immediately bet on it, and he saw an old woman dressed in ordinary clothes, with a wooden walking stick in her hand, slowly walking out from the middle of the woods.

Although the old woman was old, her body had its own noble temperament, especially the walking stick in her hand, which was carved with landscapes and grasses and trees, which looked extremely expensive, adding to the nobility of the old woman’s body, which came out.

And when this old woman appeared, Zhou An immediately turned his head to look at Eunuch Wei, and immediately after, he felt that Eunuch Wei was inexplicably nervous.

“What the hell, Eunuch Wei would even be nervous?” Zhou An thought in confusion.

“This isn’t right at all, according to Eunuch Wei’s strength and level, it’s only right that he wouldn’t be nervous even if he were to meet the Emperor, can it be that the melon here, is bigger than what I imagined?”

With such a mood, Zhou An continued to look.

And at this time, the old woman had already leaned on her walking stick and came to a distance of ten meters in front of Eunuch Wei.

He did not step out of this forest, but instead stared at Eunuch Wei from afar.

Eunuch Wei tucked his hands in his sleeves, could not see his expression, but could only clearly feel that Eunuch Wei was still particularly nervous.

It was at this time that the old woman finally spoke.

“When you see me, do you not want to say a word?”

Only then did Eunuch Wei react, letting out a long sigh, taking out the hands tucked in his sleeves and hanging them at his sides, “It’s been a long time, Yue Ming.”

The old woman named Yue Ming, hearing Eunuch Wei call her name, shook her head, and in her tone, there was a hint of regret.

“You old thing, as usual, you still have a sense of disconnection with me, what, without a male body, do you really not need a woman?”

When these words were spoken, Zhou An, who was eating his melon on the side, immediately felt like a bolt from the blue, lightning crossing his mind.

He suddenly knew why Eunuch Wei was so nervous.

It was because Eunuch Wei and this old woman in front of him seemed to have had some intercourse between men and women when they were young.

Other than that bit of business, there was nothing else.

Understand it all.

Zhou An felt that this melon was particularly enjoyable to eat, he even took out a bag of beans from the pink money bag and stood next to it with Black Jade.

While eating, he watched.

“Crunch, crunch ……”

The sound of eating beans, echoing continuously in this silent forest, seemed unusually clear.

Eunuch Wei couldn’t take it anymore, turned his head and glared at Zhou An: “Zhou kid, stop eating, our hearts, they are all messed up, we don’t even know what to say.”

Zhou An nodded and took out another bean, placing it in his mouth before chewing gently, “This way you can’t hear the sound.”

Eunuch Wei’s head was filled with black lines, he even wanted to kick Zhou An out, regretting agreeing to bring Zhou An over.

It was good that this embarrassment, did not last long.

“All of you come in.”

Yue Ming didn’t say anything else and didn’t dwell more on this matter, but turned around, leaned on her crutches, and walked towards the inside.

As she walked, the hundreds of thousands of formations in this forest, unexpectedly began to shake, spreading out continuously towards the surroundings, giving way to a large path alive.

When Zhou An saw this situation, his eyes slightly stared.

Only those who knew about formations would know the brilliance of this formation.

He knew formations, so he could see that Yue Ming’s formation had already reached a realm of returning to the basics.

With a wave of her hand and a casual step forward, she would extend an endless number of formations.

It was as if she was the formation, the source of all formations.

The Formation Heavenly Father that he had come into contact with before was nothing more than a small fish compared to Yue Ming.

Eunuch Wei did not say anything, and then he led Zhou An, towards the inside.

This forest was large, but the pace of the few people was not fast.

Without walking for long, they arrived at the depths of this forest.

In the depths of the woods, there was a small wooden house.

The decoration of the wooden house looked extremely simple, just built out of hand, but what Zhou An saw was different.

It was because the formations around this wooden house were more than the hundreds of thousands of formations in the entire woods combined.

Not only was it more, but it was even so terrifying that just a cursory glance would send chills all over one’s body.

Yue Ming came to the front of the wooden house, stretching out his wrinkled palm, he pushed the door of the wooden house open, and inside the wooden house, there was only a table, a few chairs, and a bed, which looked extremely simple.

There was no elaboration of any furnishings, it was just simply placed inside.

Zhou An was not polite, anyway, with Eunuch Wei lying in front of him, he naturally followed Eunuch Wei and entered within the wooden house.

“You guys feel free to find a seat, then the tea on the table, you guys drink it yourselves, I won’t pour it for you.” Yue Ming said.

Zhou An was a self-made man, pouring himself a cup of tea, then he and Black Jade both drank it.

As they drank, they also glanced over to Eunuch Wei’s side from time to time.

Eunuch Wei’s head was filled with black lines, “You two go out first, I’ll have a chat with Yue Ming.”

Zhou An put down his teacup, said no problem, and prepared to take Black Jade out.

Although eating melon was good, there had to be a measure.

Now that Eunuch Wei felt embarrassed, it was better for him not to stay here for long.

Who knew that after these words were said, Yue Ming shook his head.

“You don’t need to go out, just stay here, it’s not anything unseemly, it’s just a story of a man leaving his beloved behind and traveling far away alone.”

In these words, the aura of sultriness, was even heavier.

Zhou An couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cool air when he heard this.

When Eunuch Wei heard Yue Ming say these words, he rubbed his forehead with quite a headache, before he looked at Zhou An and said helplessly, “Since you brat likes to read other people’s stories so much, then we’ll tell you all of them, so don’t make that astonished look anymore, it’s distracting for us to watch.”

Zhou An nodded his head vigorously, indicating that he was willing to listen.

Between him and Eunuch Wei, there wasn’t much to see, so what should be expressed, would be expressed.

Only then did Eunuch Wei begin to slowly narrate, and during the narration, Yue Ming kept gazing at Eunuch Wei, her eyes turning from grudging to gentle.

Zhou An listened patiently, and when he finished listening, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, “Every expert of the older generation had a thrilling past, they were also once young, and they also used to make their way through the jianghu, and they also left behind all sorts of legends.”

“In fact, it’s just like some sons and daughters, who don’t understand their parents, always think that when they understand, their parents are that way, but they don’t know how wonderful their experiences were when they were young.”

In the early years, Eunuch Wei was still intact, and was also the existence that made the whole jianghu afraid in the beginning.

Eunuch Wei was good with swords, and had once fought hundreds of experts in a row with a single iron sword, making him famous in the Jianghu.

At that time, the former dynasty of Dafeng Kingdom was still in existence, and at that time, Duke Wei only relied on a long sword, and constantly challenged in the jianghu of various countries.

It could be said that he was spirited.

It was also at that time that he met the sister of the Emperor of the Da Qi Kingdom, Yue Ming.

In that era, besides being amazingly talented, Yue Ming’s looks were equally stunning.

After meeting Eunuch Wei, the two fell in love with each other.

It was a very long and interesting time, and when Eunuch Wei mentioned it, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise.

But then, something happened that caused the two to never communicate again.

The Great Feng Country was rampant and brutal.

Eunuch Wei carried the long sword in his hand and joined the camp of resistance.

Because of this, after a vicious battle, Eunuch Wei lost the most precious thing a man can have.

Since then, even though he had resumed his eunuch line of work, he never met up with Yue Ming again.

As for the reason, Zhou An knew very well, but did not explicitly say so.

“I don’t really care if you are a complete person or not, the feelings between us, is it not something that can be measured by that?” Yue Ming took two steps forward and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Eunuch Wei.

“It’s already good enough when everyone is doing well.” Eunuch Wei shook his head.

Yue Ming sighed and didn’t mention it again, changing the topic, “I said at first that you had three chances to come to me, you never used them, yet you came over to see me today, I thought that you were going to get back together with me, but now it seems that it’s not that kind of thing, so what is it that you have going on?”

Eunuch Wei turned his head and looked in Zhou An’s direction, saying, “Came for this kid, if he doesn’t resolve some issues, he might fall into the abyss.”

Zhou An was eating a melon, and after hearing this, he subconsciously pointed at himself, “Me?”

He was still engrossed in the story of Eunuch Wei and Yue Ming, and although as an outsider, it wasn’t easy to persuade anything, there was always some emotion.

At this time, when he was suddenly mentioned, he felt a bit surprised.

Eunuch Wei nodded and said, “Your experiences in the Da Qi Kingdom, we all understand, what happened inside the Linglong Painting, we also know, the Vertical Leader wouldn’t be so direct as to allow the so-called doppelganger to carry the power of the main body to kill you.”

Zhou An strangely said, “Then what else follows?”

In fact, by now, the more Zhou An thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

The Vertical Leader had suffered a lot of losses at his own expense, and it was unlikely that he would take any more chances.

Now it seemed like there was a follow-up.

Come to think of it, it was right that the Verticality Leader had given up very quickly after the Guile Gathering had appeared in the first place, and it was reasonable to say that this shouldn’t be the case either.

As an expert at the same rank level, how could it be said that he had to fight for a bit, directly giving up resistance was a bit of child’s play.

Eunuch Wei raised his hand and pointed to Zhou An’s chest position, faintly saying, “He planted a seed in your heart, just to make the follow up cause more trouble under the premise of not being able to kill you.”

Planted a seed?

Zhou An frowned, feeling even stranger.

This was something he had never really heard of.

However, since Eunuch Wei had already started the conversation, he would continue talking, and Zhou An waited patiently.

As expected, after he waited for a while, Eunuch Wei spoke all the things that followed.

“Your strength has risen quickly, and you are perfect in every aspect, but only one thing is missing.”

“What thing?” Zhou An asked.

Eunuch Wei slowly said, “In your heart, there seems to be a gap, a gap that makes it seem as if you have a layer of separation from the world.”

“We always feel that you have a sense of detachment from anyone in this world, with the exception of Yu Hang and Ye Frost and Black Jade, always with a sense of disconnection, we don’t know what it means or what the reason for it is, but it will become a stumbling block for you.”

“The Miscellaneous Sect has an ability that can make a person stay depressed and fall into a state of doom through a flaw in the mind, and on this trip, we are here to solve your problem.”

Saying this, Eunuch Wei turned his head, looked at Yue Ming, and continued this topic.

“Yue Ming’s formation can communicate the deepest partitions within your heart, allowing you to see your own problems and overcome your own demons, and from then on, no one will be able to defeat you in the inverse.”

“My alienation? My sense of alienation?” Zhou An fell into deep thought.

He could never figure out why exactly his heart was defective.

In his interactions with Eunuch Wei and the others, he also felt that there was nothing too abnormal, but when Eunuch Wei said that he felt it, this matter was still really somewhat reliable.

If it was really such a big flaw and was utilized by someone else, it would cause a horrible blow to himself when the time came and it would be too late to catch up.

Next to him, Black Jade gripped Zhou An’s hand tightly, attracting Zhou An’s attention.

Zhou An turned his head, and saw Black Jade pointing at the location of his heart and gently tapping it.

“There is indeed.” Black Jade giggled.

Zhou An frowned.

Even Black Jade said this, he felt that there was indeed something wrong with him.

It was a good thing that this trip might be able to get rid of this problem.

Thinking about this, Zhou An looked towards Yue Ming and said with an arch of his hand, “Then, thank you senior.”

Yue Ming shook his head, “You don’t need to thank me much, I just promised this old guy in the beginning, so I’m just fulfilling a promise now, the old guy was very kind to you, I only promised him three promises in my life, and he’s used up one of them now.”

Zhou An expressed his understanding, and said many thanks to Eunuch Wei again.

Familiarity is familiarity, the necessary etiquette, should still be there.

“Right.” Eunuch Wei suddenly thought of something and said, “This kid has a lot of secrets, but won’t let others know, so we don’t want you to go see them, and we won’t go see them either.”

Yue Ming swept a glance at Eunuch Wei, “This I naturally know, after entering the formation that hammers the mind, everything that is communicated appears only in his mind, even I can’t see it.”

Only then did Eunuch Wei express his peace of mind, turning his head to look at Zhou An, he asked, “Are you ready?”

Zhou An nodded, indicating that he was ready.

Since it was going to be resolved, it should be resolved in a hurry, otherwise it would be a big trouble later.

What had to be said had also been said, and now was the time to get down to business.

Yue Ming turned around and went out the door on her crutches, “You guys follow me.”

She led the way in front, while Eunuch Wei and Zhou An followed behind them.

It didn’t take long before they bypassed those terrifying formations and eventually came to a cave.

Yue Ming pointed at the cave in front of him and slowly said, “There are many formations for the mind, but I created my own formation called Hundred Formations to Refine the Mind, in there, there will be hundreds of formations that will unite to refine your mind, it will make you fall into fantasies, so that you can overcome yourself amidst the fantasies, and it’s also the most difficult one, no one can help you, and I can’t help you either, because I can’t even can’t even see.”

“Senior, what do I need to do?” Zhou An asked.

Yue Ming explained, “All you need to do is enter the cave and sit down in one of the formation eyes in the very center of the cave, then you can communicate with the Hundred Formations to refine your heart, and inside is the flaw in your heart.”

“There are many flaws, regret, incomprehension, confusion, anger, sadness, depending on which one you are, and there are your own ways to overcome it, I wouldn’t know.”

Zhou An stroked his chin, and thought to himself that he couldn’t figure out what a sentence of his own method was.

But go in and be done with it.

Thinking of this, Zhou An didn’t nag, clasped his fists at Eunuch Wei and Yue Ming, and said, “In that case, I’ll go in.”

Eunuch Wei nodded and did not say anything else.

Zhou An let Black Jade enter the shadow, and stepping alone, he walked into this cave.

The cave was very rugged with no light, and under a darkness, it was hard to see.

But fortunately for Zhou An, who had a high level of skill and the Eye of Confusion, everything around him was as if there was no obstruction in his eyes.

And through the Eye of Chaos, he also saw the situation inside clearly.

On the wall inside, there was a picture of formations carved, each one hooked up to each other, densely packed, making people feel frightened.

The skillfulness of the formations, the skillfulness of the techniques, even today’s Zhou An was far inferior.

After all, this was the number one formation master in the world.

After admiring it for a while, Zhou An continued to walk ahead as if he was taking a leisurely stroll.

Not long after, he came to an open space.

The space inside was extremely large, with all sorts of strange symbols painted on the ground, and in the very center was a pale yellow futon.

The futon was the eye of this Hundred Formation Heart Refining Formation, and one only needed to sit on it to activate it and make up for the crippled state of one’s heart.

Zhou An did not waste any time, lifting his foot and walking straight in, coming to sit on this pale yellow futon.

“I also don’t know what my state of mind is.” Zhou An thought to himself.

After he slowly sat on it, the abnormality finally appeared.

The hundreds of Hundred Formation Refined Hearts around him trembled violently, transmitting over a strange energy.

From the outside world, Zhou An still maintained his posture of sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in contemplation.

However, only Zhou An himself knew clearly that his soul, as if it had drifted halfway.

The scenery around him also appeared to have inexplicably changed.

He was no longer in the middle of a cave, but in a familiar place.

Anding County.

That one stale hut, the house, was still the same familiar appearance as before.

This made Zhou An feel a little trance-like.

“It seems like I haven’t been back for a long time.”

Since he had left Anding County, he really had not returned, and now that he saw it, he felt a little nostalgic.

Just at this time, Zhou An heard a rustling sound coming from behind him.

He turned back and saw a familiar scene.

The round body, the mean face, and the malicious eyes.

The aunt stood at the door with a brightly shining sharp knife in her hand.

The corner of Zhou An’s mouth rose slightly, then he raised his right hand.

The Gold Transformation Ring squirmed for a moment, and a long black knife appeared in his hand.

This was his state of mind, the flaw in his heart, so all he had to do was think about it and the long knife came out in response.

“Could it be that the flaw in my heart is you, Auntie?”

Zhou An brushed his hand from the blade of the long knife, and when he brushed the end of the blade, the black long knife let out a slight tremble.

Zhou An took a step forward, “If it’s really Auntie, then it’s good to kill again.”

With unrivaled might, the long blade swung out violently at the aunt in front of him.

He had thought that the state of mind this time was the aunt.

However, he didn’t expect that when he swung out this blade, everything around him changed once again.

The round aunt was shattered, and the familiar room disappeared.

It was as if everything was smeared with a layer of mosaic and became blurred.

Zhou An withdrew his sword, his brows furrowed, and after looking around, he realized that the blurred scenery around him was becoming clear.

When it reappeared, even Zhou An, after seeing the scenery around him, stared his eyes wide open and his pupils contracted for a moment.

“How could it be here?”
