Suddenly, Gu Qingxi felt the mysterious spiritual energy fluctuation again.
If I guessed correctly, the reason why we were able to repair the city defense formation so quickly and easily was because of this spiritual power.
Could it be that this spiritual power is related to the Lord of Luo City and others, or to these people? Gu Qingxi immediately concentrated her mind and went to explore below.
But what surprised her was that this spiritual power was as ethereal and ethereal as the power of a fairy. Although this time I could clearly feel the fluctuation, I also vaguely felt it was related to the crowd below.
But when he gathered his consciousness to investigate, he found that this spiritual power permeated the heaven and earth, was everywhere, and could not be captured at all.
After trying several times with the same result, Gu Qingxi had no choice but to give up.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, Moyun City was able to save the day this time, all thanks to you.
You have come all the way, and I haven’t even had time to treat you properly. Why don't you go to the City Lord's Mansion to rest first, so that I can fulfill my friendship as a landlord and give me a chance to say thank you. "The ancient city lord Yu Jian came to Gu Qingxi and said expectantly.
"Then it's up to you, City Lord Nacha." Gu Qingxi nodded.
After a series of battles, even if she was not tired, Xiao Fangqing and others were tired and needed a good rest.
Amid the deafening cheers of thousands of city residents, the group flew towards the city lord's palace.
"Old City Lord, what's the miracle you mentioned earlier?" Looking at the almost fanatical reverence of the people below, Gu Qingxi suddenly thought of what he saw in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion yesterday and asked.
Although they had not known each other for a long time, she could tell that the city lord had a courageous and resolute temperament, otherwise he would never have agreed to her proposal so easily, risking the destruction of the city and the death of people, and killed all the thunder beasts below the city. .
After all, she had not set up the Demonic Cultivating Killing Formation at that time, and the ancient city lord did not know that in addition to sword skills and formations, she was also proficient in talismans. Other city lords would not be as bold as him.
He has such a big heart and courage, which is enough to gain the support of the people in the city. There should be no need to use methods to fool the people and confuse people's hearts to rule Moyun City.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, do you really not know?" the ancient city master asked tentatively.
"What do you know?" Gu Qingxi asked inexplicably.
"Although the shrine has rarely appeared in these years, if there is a great chaos in the world and people sincerely pray, they can still seek protection from the shrine.
About six thousand years ago, Sifang City, tens of thousands of miles away, was besieged by monsters like Moyun City.
At the critical moment, more than 100,000 people knelt down and begged. The last two powerful souls from the shrine came out of their bodies and used their great magical powers to drive away the beasts and keep the Sifang City safe.
More than 4,000 years ago, evil cultivators caused chaos in Chichuan City. Countless people were eroded by the evil spirit and became mentally disordered and killed each other. In the end, the people sincerely prayed for blessings, and a powerful spirit from the shrine came out of his body and killed several evil cultivators on the spot, restoring peace to Chichuan City.
More than two thousand years ago..." The ancient city master said with a look of fascination as he knew all the treasures in his family.
"You mean, every time a powerful person from the palace appears, it's because the soul leaves the body?" Gu Qingxi asked.
Listening to the ancient city master talking about the various miracles in the world of cultivation, she couldn't help but think of those sect disciples and descendants of the aristocratic families who were poisoned by Jiuyou Soul Refining Powder and had to go to Luoshui City for help.
If those sects and aristocratic families were not lucky enough to meet him, they would probably have no choice but to pray to the shrine in the end. If the shrine sent someone to rescue them, it would probably be regarded as a miracle.
If your guess is correct, the culprit behind these natural and man-made disasters mentioned by the ancient city lord, including the crisis in Moyun City, is actually the shrine itself.
Its purpose was to confuse people as she had guessed before.
But why is it only the soul that appears every time, and why don't the people from the shrine show up in person? Is it because they are pretending to be gods and ghosts?
Gu Qingxi felt that things were not that simple. This is the world of cultivation, everything can have spirits, there is no point in pretending to be a ghost.
"Yes, unless the thousand-year period has come and the shrine appears on its own, other times the powerful souls in the shrine will leave their bodies." The ancient city lord nodded.
Guessing what Gu Qingxi was wondering about, he added: "I guess it may be because the power of the palace is too strong and cannot be tolerated by heaven, so there are some restrictions and it cannot easily break the balance of the world."
Gu Qingxi's eyes lit up, as if a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind:
By the way, restrictions! The reason why the shrine only appears once in thousands of years, and why the soul leaves the body at other times, is probably because of some kind of restriction.
But this restriction may not come from the way of heaven. It may be caused by her disciples.
But why can people's prayers break this restriction, or at least allow their souls to leave their bodies? What's going on with that mysterious spiritual power?
She couldn't think of an answer to this question for the time being.
With all kinds of doubts, Gu Qingxi followed the ancient city lord to the city lord's mansion.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, I heard from Elder Xiao earlier that you are planning to go to the Eternal Desolate Abyss for training?" In the reception hall, the ancient city master personally prepared the spirit tea and handed a cup to Gu Qingxi, asking.
Gu Qingxi took the spirit tea and nodded.
"You have helped Moyun City so much, and I don't know how to thank you. It just so happens that I have a magic weapon here that may come in handy when I go to the Eternal Desolate Abyss. Please don't dislike it, my fellow Taoist." The ancient city lord said and took it. Bring out a magic weapon.
The instrument is crude in shape, only half a foot in size, and looks a bit like a compass. However, what is engraved on it is not the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, nor the Tai Chi Bagua, but the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, and vast galaxies.
If you look closely, you will see that the sun, moon, mountains, rivers and vast galaxy are all composed of extremely small runes.
"This is it?" Gu Qingxi asked curiously.
Although I don't understand what this magic weapon is and what its purpose is, judging from the faint energy, the grade is not low, reaching the heaven level.
"This is called the Tianxing Mountains and Rivers Map. It was found by the ninth generation head of my ancient family in the Abyss of Eternity. It has the effect of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil.
But you must also be able to tell that this magical instrument is made in the shape of a compass, but it is slightly incomplete, with the pointer missing in the middle.
I have used it several times before, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work, but no matter what, it is still useful, and it may be able to save my life in critical moments. "Speaking of this, the ancient city lord blushed a little.
He actually prepared a lot of spiritual crystals, spiritual grasses and heavenly materials and earthly treasures as gifts of thanks to Gu Qingxi, but the grades were not too high.
Considering that Gu Qingxi was so powerful at such a young age, had such a powerful spiritual pet, and was proficient in formations and talismans, he really couldn't get his hands on those spiritual crystals, spiritual grass, materials, and earthly treasures.
The only thing that can be obtained is the Tianxing Mountains and Rivers Map.
However, this magic weapon was still in good condition overall, but it was missing the most important pointer, which sometimes worked but not working, which made him feel very regretful.
