Seven Strings in Dreams

Chapter 176 Smiling

Meng Xianyu secretly sighed, this is really a world of immortal cultivation! There are masters everywhere. You can't offend anyone easily. Maybe he is a hermit master. If that happens, your life will be in danger! If you want to show off, you must have the ability to protect yourself first.

Linlang: "Uncle Ying, Linlang is here."

Uncle Ying: "We have arranged all the people you want. Let the two girls come forward."

Linlang quickly pushed Meng Xianyu and Wu Na over.

The two of them were somewhat reserved. The old man's face was pale, his eyes were closed, and although he was an old man, he made people feel scared.

Uncle Ying: "It doesn't matter who comes first. Give me your hands! Let me see if you two are in danger."

Wu Na obediently handed over her hand.

The old man took out a clean handkerchief and placed it on his palm, motioning Wu Na to put her hand on it. Then he put his other hand on Wu Na's hand. The whole process took less than a minute, and there was nothing that made people feel that it was beyond the line.

Uncle Ying: "Girl, it is destined that you will have a hard time first and a happy life later. Good days are coming! Just do whatever you want to do. Just have a clear conscience. Other things will naturally fall into place. Don't be impulsive!"

Wu Na thanked him and waited aside. Meng Xianyu followed Wu Na's example and extended her hand.

But this time, the old man's expression changed again and again, as if he had discovered some incredible secret.

The old man sighed first, then said: "Girl, I can't see through your origins. But I know you will have a bright future. But the road ahead is long, so you must be careful."

The old man hesitated to speak and then asked them to go to the next room first.

Linlang: "Uncle Ying, I'll go with them first and come back to see you later. I'll play chess with you."

Uncle Ying: "Go and get busy!"

Uncle Ying appeared very calm on the surface, but he was extremely excited inside.

Although his eyesight is not good, his heart is not blind. He was once a famous Yin-Yang master. But now he has become an old man in his twilight years. He has been in seclusion for many years. If Monk hadn't been protecting him, he would have been found by his enemies long ago.

He had not been seen in recent years, and only rumors remained about him. Everyone thought he was no longer alive. But he had a reason to live on.

Monk never asked about Uncle Ying's private affairs. If Uncle Ying wanted to leave, he could leave at any time. Monk had no other intentions in taking him in. Monk would not force him to do anything he didn't want to do.

Just like what happened today, it was he who agreed first, and then Linlang brought Wu Na and the others here.

Linlang thought Uncle Ying would give him some advice! Three years ago, Linlang was out on a mission. Uncle Ying suddenly sent someone to give him a magic bag, which saved his life at the critical moment.

Linlang has always respected Uncle Ying very much. After all, Uncle Ying is his lifesaver.

Uncle Ying didn't want to expose his identity, so he rarely took action. But this time, he was very glad that he agreed.

Meng Xianyu and Wu Na are not ordinary people. They will eventually stand at the top. They are both chosen by God.

Especially Meng Xianyu, who was in a dominant position between the two of them. However, Wu Na was reborn because of Meng Xianyu's arrival.

Wu Na's life span was originally very short, and she would be tortured to death. She might not even know her origins until her death.

Meng Xianyu broke Wu Na's original fate and gave her a glimmer of hope, injecting new strength into her lifeline that was originally heading towards death.

Uncle Ying could tell that the fates of both of them were uncertain. Only Monk's confidants knew Uncle Ying's ability.

Uncle Ying's eyes were not completely blind, he could only see some blurry figures. The brighter the place, the less clear he could see.

He hadn't seen the sun for a long time. His fate was to be in the dark.

Perhaps it was because he leaked too many secrets that he ended up like this.

Uncle Ying is now in retirement.

If Monk hadn't told her to do so, Linlang wouldn't have dared to ask Uncle Ying for help. Because Uncle Ying wasn't Monk's subordinate, it was reasonable for Uncle Ying to not agree to Monk's request.

There were two people around Uncle Ying who had been following him, and the rest were Monk's men.

Linlang just gave a brief description, and her men found a dozen girls of similar age and figure to Wu Na and Meng Xianyu.

After some selection, three pairs of girls were finally left.

These six people were selected by Meng Xianyu.

Meng Xianyu guessed Linlang's intention.

So she didn't choose the one who was most like the two of them, but instead chose a few others.

These women are very similar in build and height to the two of them.

The difference is that some look very fragile, while others still have some ability to protect themselves.

Meng Xianyu asked a few simple questions and then made her choice.

I don’t know whether those women want to be selected or not.

Meng Xianyu didn't care about that. She chose these six people because they were at least capable.

Some can read, some can recognize simple herbs. Some are strong enough to walk on mountain roads. Some are good at swimming. There are even two or three who can do some fancy moves.

Meng Xianyu didn't know what would happen next, but she didn't want these girls to die.

Wu Na was unwilling to get involved and would only occasionally remind Meng Xianyu when she was struggling.

Protector Linlang only gave some suggestions and did not help make a decision.

Meng Xianyu is a person who doesn't like to procrastinate. He chooses people quickly and arranges the next step quickly.

The six women would be divided into two groups, leaving at different times for her and Wu Na, and even go in different directions. After they left, someone would naturally pick them up.

The subsequent matters will be left to Guardian Linlang to arrange.

After the people were selected, they began to let the women have brief contact with Meng Xianyu and Wu Na.

Meng Xianyu and the others had no idea where those women came from or why they became substitutes for others.

And those women don't need to know the identities of Meng Xianyu and others.

Before they came to carry out the mission, they had already received the rewards they wanted, and whether they lived or died depended on their own abilities.

From the moment they decided to participate in this mission, there was no turning back. Now their lives were in the hands of others. This was their own choice. They would not reveal anything about Meng Xianyu and Wu Na. When the critical moment came, they would choose to commit suicide.

Meng Xianyu and Wu Na wore veils to hide their true appearance.

There was no need for the women to imitate too closely, so there wasn't really any problem.

All they need to do next is to form teams of two and work together to go down the mountain.

At that time, Linlang will send people to follow them from a distance, and will provide assistance in time if necessary.

They are used to confuse people. It would be best if some forces from the Holy Mountain could be involved.

Linlang was about to take Wu Na and the others away, but she didn't expect Uncle Ying to have sent someone to wait for them.

Normally, when Linlang left, she only needed to say hello to her subordinates. Unexpectedly, today Uncle Ying specially sent someone to wait for her.

Linlang and the other two soon met Uncle Ying again.

Linlang: "Uncle Ying, do you have anything to tell me?"

Uncle Ying: "I have two pieces of jade. They are both top-quality white jade. I will give them to the two girls as a gift."

Meng Xianyu and Wu Na quickly expressed their gratitude.

Meng Xianyu has been receiving so many gifts lately that it's like she's won the lottery.

Uncle Ying's men presented two identical wooden boxes. The boxes were not big, about the size of a palm.

Meng Xianyu and Wu Na each took one. They didn't choose. The wooden boxes all looked the same. They just took the ones that were closest.

At the same time, Uncle Ying and Linlang talked about the selection of people. Meng Xianyu didn't listen, and only wanted to study the box in front of her.

There are very special patterns carved on the wooden box. The wooden box cannot be opened directly, and it takes some time to unlock it.

But this did not pose a problem for Meng Xianyu, as the mechanism on it was similar to the Kongming lock.

She didn't know how to unlock it at first. But her good friend Mu Jiujiu liked it. Mu Jiujiu couldn't let go of things like Kongming locks and Rubik's cubes. Over time, Meng Xianyu memorized some unlocking methods.

Meng Xianyu finally saw something interesting and immediately started trying to unlock it.

The unlocking process was quite smooth and it succeeded after two or three tries!

With a click, the box was opened. Meng Xianyu was secretly delighted. She couldn't wait to open the box. She didn't notice that everyone's eyes were on her.

When you open the box, you will see a fine jade pendant. The jade pendant is a fish with a unique shape. The fish is lifelike and vivid. It is obvious that it is made by a famous artist.

Meng Xianyu couldn't help but reach out to touch the abalone, but she seemed to be pricked. She screamed and found that her finger seemed to be bleeding.

She looked carefully and the wound seemed to have disappeared. She didn't know if she was seeing things.

She looked up at Wu Na and realized something was wrong. It turned out that everyone was looking at her. She smiled awkwardly to ease the embarrassment.

Meng Xianyu: "Thank you, Senior. I like this jade pendant very much. To be honest, Senior, I have seen an obsidian jade pendant made of a giant dragon fish. The material is not as good as the one you gave me."

Uncle Ying: "It turns out that the girl got the Turtle Jade Pendant"

Meng Xianyu: "Yes! Isn't it different?"

Meng Xianyu looked at Wu Na curiously. She then realized that Wu Na had been holding the box and had not opened it.

Wu Na: "Then help me open it!"

Meng Xianyu: "Oh, okay."

Dharma Protector Linlang wanted to stop it, but Uncle Ying signaled him not to interfere.

Meng Xianyu quickly cracked the mechanism. Then she held the box in both hands and returned it to Wu Na.

Meng Xianyu: "The mechanism has been solved. You can open it yourself in the last step!"

Wu Na opened the box with a faint smile, then was stunned.

The box was not big, and others could not see the jade pendant in the box. They could only see that Wu Na had a strange expression on her face, as if she was a little frozen.
