"In the Gu family, apart from Yan Su Shi, the ones who hate me the most are Gu Xiuzhe and Gu Xiudan."
"But Gu Xiuzhe is already at the pinnacle of the Pulse Cleansing Realm. Even if there is a threat, it will not trigger the divine power of the Destiny Clan. That is why Gu Xiudan is the most suspicious."
Gu Xiuyun turned his hands over and deduced silently.
Not long after the deduction, his eyes lit up.
There seems to be a hidden power in Gu Xiudan, constantly interfering with the changes in the heavenly secrets, like a layer of fog covering his whereabouts.
"How can a mortal resist my divine calculations?" Gu Xiuyun raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
From this point of view, there must be a secret hidden in Gu Xiudan. Even if he is not the person who has evil thoughts and triggers the destiny induction, he is still worthy of Gu Xiuyun's investigation.
"Although I can't figure out the mystery behind him, I can vaguely sense his whereabouts." Gu Xiuyun looked towards the south.
With his level of cultivation, it would be almost effortless to calculate a mortal's.
Although Gu Xiudan's body was covered by mysterious power, it could not protect him completely, and Gu Xiuyun still sensed some traces.
"The south is about eighty miles away. It should be a certain aristocratic family in Nancheng. What is he doing there?"
Gu Xiuyun was secretly confused.
Normally, it would not be strange for Gu Xiudan to go out to visit friends, but these days it was his wedding banquet.
The Gu family paid special attention to this wedding banquet, and it was hosted by the fourth uncle himself. The entire Gu family's fourth family members arrived, and even many members of the direct clan stationed in other cities returned. As a direct descendant of the fourth family, Gu Xiudan dared not to attend?
If this matter is discovered by the Gu family's main lineage, a punishment will be inevitable.
"This person took the risk to go to Nancheng, and he must have some big plans." Gu Xiuyun said thoughtfully, "After the wedding banquet is over, I will go and investigate."
Today is the last day of the wedding banquet. After the guests and hosts had a good time, Gu Xiuyun used Lichen Escape and left quietly.
After a month of practice, his Tianguan has been completely stabilized, and the movement of his spiritual power has become a little more agile. Like a phantom, his whole person silently walked through the streets and arrived deep in the south city.
In front of him was a tall courtyard wall, surrounded by guards and filled with faint spiritual power.
"A small aristocratic family in Nancheng is actually capable of setting up a warning array?" Gu Xiuyun was surprised.
In the eight cities of Chu County, there are not many practitioners who know the formation. Even if there are, they are all sect disciples who have returned from the four major sects.
Therefore, if the small aristocratic families in Nancheng want to set up a protective formation, they must spend a lot of money and ask an expert to take action.
Gu Xiuyun walked around the courtyard wall, observing the changes in the formation and thinking about the flaws. After a long time, he nodded slightly and said, "It is indeed a very exquisite warning formation. If you break into it without permission, you will definitely not be able to avoid the spirit." Powerful exploration.”
"But you think you can stop me like this?"
Gu Xiuyun's eyes moved slightly, and he already had a countermeasure in mind.
Soon after, a group of guards, led by the city guard, arrived in front of the family's mansion.
"The Gu family has an order to arrest a cultivator who is suspected of being a spy in Yuecheng. Someone saw him walking into your residence. Please cooperate with the investigation." The cultivator said loudly.
The guards guarding the gate of the mansion looked at each other with a look of panic, and said repeatedly: "Sir, please be patient for a moment. We will report this to the head of the family immediately."
Soon, a bald middle-aged man, surrounded by slaves, hurried to the door of the mansion.
"It turns out to be General Zhang. The general has a lot of things to do. Why are you here at the villain's mansion today?" With that said, the bald middle-aged man quickly asked someone to open the main door and invite the general and guards to enter the mansion.
Following the chaotic footsteps, the warning formation was triggered from time to time. At the same time, Gu Xiuyun climbed over the courtyard wall and entered the family mansion.
"Liu Yan, this general also knows that you have always been law-abiding and helpful to the affairs of the city, but I have to obey Gu's order." The city guarding general looked serious.
"What the general said is true. I happened to get a bonsai accidentally a few days ago. Please appreciate it, general." The bald middle-aged man waved his hand, and soon, a stone pot with a strange spiritual flower was brought up. "This flower looks strange, and I don't know what kind it is. The general's knowledge is a hundred times wider than that of the villain, so he must know it."
"Sure enough, it is a strange flower," the defender's eyes lit up slightly, "It is golden in color and has huge buds. If cultivated well, it will be as beautiful as a peony."
"As the saying goes, a sword is given to a hero, and a BMW is given to a bole. No matter how beautiful this flower is, it must be taken care of by a flower lover like the general, so that it will not be ruined." The bald middle-aged man said with a charming smile, "General, please help me. Take care of it for a few days so as not to spoil it.”
The general smiled and nodded, "That's natural."
Listening to their conversation, it seemed like they were really talking about a bonsai.
But if you look carefully at the stone basin under the flower plant, you will find that the stone basin is full of emerald green, with a faint flash of spiritual light, but the surface is covered with mud, so you can't tell how precious it is.
"A piece of jade crystal is worth a lot of money. The head of the Liu family is so generous." Gu Xiuyun observed the bonsai in the distance and muttered in his heart.
Jade crystal is also a rare jade stone. Such a large piece is worth close to thousands of taels of gold. The head of the Liu family was so generous, but it confirmed that there was a problem in the house.
After accepting the bonsai, General Zhang took a casual look around the house, then completed his errand and left Liu's house leisurely.
"Defender, General Zhang suddenly came here to conduct a search. Could it be someone who ordered it?" Looking at the crowd going away, the servant asked in a low voice.
The four major sects are on the same side on the surface, but they are fighting each other secretly. Youning City is under the jurisdiction of the Ruoshui Sect, so spies from other sects are often captured.
However, the Liu family has always been law-abiding and often gave gifts to the managers of the Gu family and the Yu family, so their mansion was rarely searched by city guards.
What happened today is indeed a bit strange.
"We must take precautions against this matter. Send people to step up patrols. In addition, I am going to report back to Master and ask him to feel at ease." The bald middle-aged man said a few words and turned around and walked towards the backyard.
Gu Xiuyun looked at the bald middle-aged man, narrowed his eyes slightly, and followed quietly.
The Liu Mansion's backyard is quite spacious, but there are very few side rooms, almost all of which are flat stone platforms.
Soon, the bald middle-aged man walked up to a stone platform, muttered something in his mouth, and pressed his hands around the stone platform a few times. The stone platform actually sunk, revealing an underground corridor.
"There is actually a secret room. No wonder I just checked around Liu's house and didn't see anything." Gu Xiuyun's expression changed.
He was certain that Gu Xiudan was here, but for some reason, he could never figure out its specific location. The underground corridor opened by the bald middle-aged man might lead to Gu Xiudan's residence.
"The Liu Mansion is on the second floor of Youning City. Even if you build a secret room, it will never be too deep. If you are in danger, you will have to break through the stone wall and escape from the bottom of the city."
Gu Xiuyun put his fingers together, and a faint spiritual power condensed on his fingertips.
After more than a month of practice, he gained nothing.
The light-refining finger has been restricted by his fusion of four immortal ways. If he encounters the python monster again, the power of one finger will be enough to penetrate its body.
And now the spiritual power in his body is surging, and the sword fingers he can use are far more than before. Even if he encounters a strong man who has opened two levels of heaven, Gu Xiuyun can still fight for a while.
The fusion of the four Immortal Dao restrictions has almost reached the level of the clan elders in the eight cities of Chu County.
Strong men like the fourth uncle have only integrated the four immortal Tao restrictions and have not yet understood the last level of the Light Refining Finger.
According to the records in the classics, the shortest time to combine the two Immortal Dao prohibitions is three years, and the longest time is ten years.
Integrating three kinds of immortal restrictions, the shortest period is ten years and the longest period is fifty years.
To integrate the four kinds of immortal restrictions, one must at least be a strong person who has opened the heavenly barrier. Only with the power of the soul can he understand the complex changes in the restrictions.
But even a strong man who opened the Tianguan would have to spend more than a hundred years.
And Gu Xiuyun actually managed to fuse four kinds of things in just over a month. If word spread, it would be enough to shock the world.
The reason why he can achieve this step is 90% of the deduction method, and the other 10% is because his soul power is strong enough. Under the illumination of the stars, the soul power is extremely condensed, and he is close to being a practitioner who has opened the third level of heaven. , once you understand the prohibitions of the Immortal Way, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
But when the Light Refining Finger reaches this point, it is almost at its end.
The last restriction of the Light Refining Finger is the thunder restriction, which is completely different from the two elements of gold and water, and the difficulty of fusion is also increased by a hundred times.
With the power of Gu Xiuyun's soul, it would probably take him several years to fully understand it.
