Chapter 206 Goodbye, it’s better not to see you
The palm of the Queen Mother of the West attacked Gongsun Ce with unparalleled power.

At the moment their eyes met, Lady of the West placed her palm on Gongsun Ce's heart.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and the air was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere.

Gongsun Ce could clearly feel the power of that palm. It was strong and powerful, but the moment it touched his body, it turned into gentle force.

Although this force was gentle, it was as continuous as the water of the Yangtze River, making Gongsun Ce unable to resist.

His body seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and in the blink of an eye, he was knocked out of Loulan by this palm and returned to the vast desert.

Gongsun Ce was tumbling in the air, but his heart was unusually calm.

His martial arts power was insufficient, but he still had the power of his dragon bloodline, he still had words that he hadn't used, and he still had the third degree of blood violence that he hadn't activated.

If he does it again, he will never lose.

Word Spirit: Eyes of the Wind King

Supported by the breeze, Gongsun Ce's body landed steadily in the desert.

He stood up, brushed off the sand on his body, his eyes full of admiration.

He found that he was completely unharmed and could not help but marvel at the power of the Queen Mother of the West.

He knew that although this palm sent him flying, it did not hurt him. This was enough to illustrate how mysterious the state of unity between man and nature was.

Gongsun Ce took a deep breath and felt the air around him.

He found himself back in the desert, some distance away from the entrance to Loulan he had found earlier.

Gongsun Ce walked towards the previous entrance, but found that it was no longer usable.

What's beneath the yellow sand is no longer quicksand, and there's nothing underneath the quicksand.

Gongsun Ce knew that Lady of the West did not welcome him to Loulan.

So Gongsun Ce got on a sand sled and headed for the nearby oasis town.

He knew that he needed to rest for a while, adjust his condition, and then continue to try to enter Loulan.

After four days and four nights of hard work by the soldier, Gongsun Ce finally arrived at a small town on the outskirts of the desert.

This town is not big, but it is quite lively.

Gongsun Ce stayed in an inn. Not long after he left the inn, he heard a familiar voice.

Those were waves of melodious shouts.

"I sell candy paintings. One painting for each story. If the painting is not good, buy one and get one free."

The sound seemed to have a kind of magic, attracting passers-by to stop.

Gongsun Ce followed the shouting to the source of the sound and saw an old man sitting in front of a stall with a small sugar jar and a pile of various sugar paintings next to him.

This old man was none other than Guiguzi. Gongsun Ce was moved and thought this scene was quite interesting, so he decided to go closer to find out.

When he got closer, Gongsun Ce found that Guiguzi's stall was different from others.

In the small town on the edge of the desert, sandstorms are commonplace, but Guiguzi's stall seems to have an invisible barrier that keeps the sandstorms out.

After careful observation, Gongsun Ce discovered that it was Guiguzi who used his true energy to protect his stall, keeping the sugar jars and sugar paintings from being disturbed by wind and sand.

There were already quite a few people gathered in front of the stall, including adults and children.

Guiguzi smiled and patiently asked every child who wanted to have a sugar painting: "Child, do you want to eat candy?"

One of the children nodded and shook his head, "I want to eat, but I don't have money."

When Guiguzi heard this, a sly look flashed in his eyes. He told the child, "You can exchange stories for candy, or you can also exchange candy for describing some strange monsters."

This proposal immediately aroused the interest of the children. They gathered around and chattered about all kinds of true and false stories.

"My father once saw a bug in the desert that was taller than a human. The bug was blood red all over and looked like a stick. It only had one mouth, which was full of teeth.

My father saw this giant bug eat several camels and then burrow into the sand.”

As soon as the child with pigtails finished speaking, he immediately received a sugar painting of Guiguzi.

Guiguzi seemed to have heard this story before, but it wouldn't hurt to hear it again.

“My ancestors were sea-seekers. You all know that there are lakes in the desert. These lakes appear and disappear constantly, but not all water in the lakes is drinkable.

It is said that my great-grandfather found a lake when he was looking for a lake, and there were glowing shrimps in the lake..."

Before the child could finish his words, his playmate immediately interrupted him.

"What are shrimp?"

Guiguzi smiled slightly. He knew that these children had lived in the desert for a long time and didn't know what shrimps were, so Guiguzi drew a sugar shrimp in an instant.

After he handed the sugar-painted shrimp to the child telling the story, he gave a brief introduction to sugar painting.

"This is a shrimp. It lives in water."

"This is a shrimp? How strange?"

"It must be very happy to be able to live in the water."

"I'm so envious." Gongsun Ce listened to the chattering of a group of children and sighed silently in his heart. This is still the territory of Qin, but many people are still having difficulty in using water, and they should think of solutions.

However, most children only show a passing interest in something, and Guiguzi's maltose is a fatal temptation to them.

Soon, they resumed their story.

While listening to the story, Guiguzi used a sugar spoon to draw lifelike patterns on the hot sugar.

After a while, beautiful sugar paintings appeared in the children's hands.

However, when the children finished telling their stories, they began to repeat themselves and there was nothing new until the last child's story caught the attention of Gongsun Ce and Guiguzi.

"There is an old man named Lu in our town. He always stays in his house and never goes out. He never greets people. Everyone says that he hides in the house and does no good things..."

As the child finished his story, the jar of candy in front of Guiguzi was just finished.

He clapped his hands, put away the stall in front of him, and turned his gaze to Gongsun Ce.

The two men's eyes met in the air, Guiguzi stroked his white beard and greeted Gongsun Ce.

"Mr. Gongsun, long time no see. How are you?"

Gongsun Ce also smiled back, "Mr. Guiguzi, how are you? It is fate that we meet here today."

"Yes, fate has brought us together again." Guiguzi nodded, "Mr. Gongsun, can you come to the inn with me?"

Gongsun Ce readily agreed, and the two walked side by side towards the inn in the town.

In the private room of the inn, they ordered a pot of boiled water and started a brief chat.

"Mr. Gongsun, do you know why I'm selling sugar paintings here?"

Guiguzi suddenly asked.

Gongsun Ce shook his head, "I'd like to hear more details."

"Actually, this is a way for me to practice." Guiguzi explained, "To be honest, I think my realm has reached the limit of the half-step unity of heaven and man.

Therefore, I have been seeking a breakthrough. After passing on the Zongheng inheritance, I began to travel around the seven countries to understand my own path. "

After hearing this, Gongsun Ce had a new understanding of Guiguzi's realm, so Gongsun Ce invited Guiguzi to form a team.

"I came here originally to get rid of the death worm, which is this thing."

Gongsun Ce waved his hand, and a glass bottle flew towards him from among the items of his luggage that was guarded by the Lord of Soldiers. Gongsun Ce held the glass bottle in his right hand and handed it to Guiguzi to look at.

Guiguzi looked at the death worm in the glass bottle and chuckled, saying, "Sure enough, the rumors are not necessarily false. There really is a big worm in the desert, with only one mouth and teeth in its body.

Mr. Gongsun has put this thing in the bottle now, so the even bigger death worm must have been killed. So what does Mr. Gongsun want to do now?"

"I went to Loulan and found the soldier demon god left by Chiyou in Loulan. I also saw the guardian power left by the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens."

Guiguzi paused in stroking his white beard, and it was obvious that he had also thought that the power left by the Queen Mother of the West must contain clues to achieving the state of unity between man and nature.

"The power of care? But in human form?"

Gongsun Ce nodded and replied, "Yes, it is a humanoid figure similar to that of a young girl. Her aura is between half-step unity of heaven and man and unity of heaven and man, but the power she displayed exceeds that of the four."

Guiguzi was silent for a moment, and suddenly there was a hint of hope in his tone.

"I wonder if Mr. Gongsun would allow me to go with you?"

Gongsun Ce naturally would not refuse free thugs, but at this time Gongsun Ce also wanted to find the entrance to Loulan.

"Since Mr. Guiguzi has asked, I will naturally not refuse. However, after I was driven out of Loulan by the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens, the entrance I used to enter Loulan has disappeared. I want to find a new entrance."

"Oh?"

Guiguzi suddenly thought that Gongsun Ce couldn't have come to this small town for no reason, so Guiguzi thought that the clue to the entrance to Loulan might be in this small town.

"But is there any clue to the entrance to Loulan in this town?"

Gongsun Ce nodded and said, "Yes, do you remember the old man Lu mentioned by the last child? It is said that someone took a treasure away from Loulan.

This person is proficient in mechanical engineering. Maybe this old man Lu is the one who stole the treasure from Loulan. If we find him, we may get clues to the entrance to Loulan."

"Without further delay, we should go to Mr. Lu's house to find out what's going on."

Gongsun Ce looked at Guiguzi, who could no longer maintain the image of a great man, and expressed his understanding. It was not only Guiguzi who longed to break through the unity of man and nature.

Bei Mingzi, Donghuang Taiyi and Xunzi, these three people all want to break through the unity of man and nature, but their desire for breakthrough varies.

"Well, let's go take a look while it's still light."

After saying this, Gongsun Ce stood up and threw a Qin Banliang coin onto the table, then went to Mr. Lu's residence with Guiguzi.

Uncle Lu sat upright in his residence with his eyes closed. The Dragon Soul was particularly active today, which made Uncle Lu feel that someone had found him and confirmed that the Dragon Soul was in his hands.

This made Mr. Lu smile bitterly. The moment he brought the dragon soul out of Loulan, he had guessed that this day would come.

Not only do outsiders want the Dragon Soul to open the seal of the God of War, there are also people inside Loulan who want to use the God of War to defeat the Central Plains countries and occupy the land with abundant water and grass.

Compared with several other Western Regions countries, Loulan is already blessed with unique advantages, but many people in Loulan think that this is not enough.
