In front of them were the red-bearded and red-haired monk Zhao Bei, the bald monk Sun Han who was surrounded by blood-evil aura, the extremely over-dressed female monk Zhou Rong, and the boy-like monk Wu Ju. Soon there were only a few tiny spots of light left. Son, looming in the early morning crimson sunlight on the sea.
Mukui, Cheng Su and Gu Qing followed at a distance. Their escape speed was not unsatisfactory, but it was barely on par with Zhao Bei and the other four who set out first.
Gu Qing's eyes were a little strange.
Not far in front of him.
At this time, Mukui looked like an old man whose face was red from suppressing it. The wrinkles on his face were all blooming. The cyan aura around him was flowing crazily. He was wearing the aura of the third level of Foundation Establishment without hiding it. It seemed that he had used all his strength to maintain the current situation. The speed of escape.
Gu Qing glanced at Cheng Su with his peripheral vision and found that the woman was shrouded in a rich white light. He could not see her face clearly, let alone her current state. Moreover, he only glanced at the woman and was enveloped in the white light. , then a keen gaze was projected.
A cold voice sounded in Gu Qing's ears.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Gu is not struggling to maintain such an escape speed. It seems that although Fellow Daoist is at the second level of Foundation Establishment, his spiritual power is pure and thick, compared to Fellow Daoist Mukui who is at the third level of Foundation Establishment. Don't give in too much." Cheng Su's voice was extremely calm, without any waves.
Gu Qing turned his head when he heard this.
He first stared at Cheng Su for a while, then chuckled and nodded. He did not respond to Cheng Su's words, but just gave Cheng Su a meaningful look.
Cheng Su, shrouded in white light, sat cross-legged on the back of an illusory crane. She squinted her eyes at Gu Qing's reaction, and a hint of gloom flashed across her expression, which she quickly put away.
'What is this man implying? I have never interacted with this person before, so this reaction should not be a hint to me... Is it meant for Mukui? Could this man have any plans with Mukui... Cheng Su's mind was spinning.
She turned over her hands and took out twelve jade tablets engraved with complex seal scripts. She first used her dazzling finger tips to shoot different amounts of auras at each of the twelve jade tablets. She closed her eyes slightly and began to make divination. Twelve pieces The jade tablets were suspended in the air, and the seal characters on them also changed.
Cheng Su closed his eyes at this moment, his eyes trembling wildly.
After a few breaths.
Cheng Su opened her eyes and put away the twelve jade tablets. Her eyes were a little obscure. She could only calculate a vast white chaos without any results. In this case, either the two people had no secret plan. , or these two people have treasures that confuse the heavens.
'It seems like she was overthinking it... Cheng Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, she frowned and suddenly realized something.
'Did this guy named Gu do it on purpose? Cheng Su thought of Gu Qing's meaningful eyes, and immediately felt that what she had done just now was really stupid, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
Gu Qing felt the woman Cheng Su's position, projecting a cannibalistic gaze, as if she was unaware.
He noticed that Mukui's escape speed had slowed down.
At this time, he and Cheng Su, following Mo Mukui, had flown away for about three thousand miles. The sea below was rolling with waves, and from time to time there were huge waves crashing on the lonely islands and reefs - large and small islands and reefs in the sea here. The number of them is so huge that if you look around, it can be said that they are densely covered with stars.
These islands and reefs have strange shapes and different colors. If you ignore the howling winds that stir up huge waves and the cold atmosphere carried by the winds, the scenery here is unique and good when you look down from mid-air.
Gu Qing had already seen the four rays of light in front of him, entering the sea here. He recalled the information revealed in the pictures in the photo stone that Mukui took out, briefly summarized it, and took a few glances at the arrangement of the surrounding islands and reefs. It is certain that this is the sea area where the lost country is located.
In other words, it was the location of the lost country in the information revealed by Mukui. Naturally, Gu Qing would not completely trust Mukui.
"Fellow Daoist Cheng, Friend Daoist Gu." Mu Kui's figure stagnated in mid-air. It seemed that he was a little unstable due to excessive consumption.
When Gu Qing saw this, he naturally
Showing concern, he went up to help, but Mukui waved his hand, rejected his kindness, and then pointed to a relatively flat island.
Mu Kui landed on the island, took out his futon and sat down. He smiled at Gu Qing and continued: "This is the sea area where the lost kingdom is located. The two fellow Taoists can go first. I am old and frail. The previous flight was really exhausting, so I want to adjust my breathing here..."
"Fellow Taoist Mu, just adjust your breath, and leave the matter of protecting the Dharma to Gu and this Taoist friend Cheng Su." Gu Qing spoke seriously, and then he also landed on the flat island.
Seeing this, Mukui narrowed his eyes at Gu Qing.
Mukui was a little bit confused about this person.
Whether it is this person's cultivation aura or his words and deeds, there is a vague feeling of weirdness.
"In that case, I would like to trouble you to take care of Fellow Daoist." Mu Kui said, turning to look at Cheng Su, "Fellow Daoist Cheng..."
Cheng Su, who had put away the illusory crane mount, saw the white light disappearing from her body. She glanced at Mukui, nodded and said, "It is as Taoist Friend Gu said."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Su moved lightly, walking in the air step by step, as if he were stepping on steps, and landed on the island. Not far from Gu Qing, he took out a futon and sat down.
Mukui first glanced at the deep sea water, and there seemed to be a strange color in his eyes. Then he took out a middle-grade spiritual stone, as if he was not on guard. Under the protection of Gu Qing and Cheng Su, Calmly close your eyes and adjust your breathing.
The island is not big, only a few hundred meters in diameter.
The tide on the islands and reefs must have just receded, and the sea water above the rocks has not yet dried up. In the cold wind of the early morning, reflecting the rays of the morning sun, scattered sea creatures can be seen in the small puddles under the rocks. The waves crashed on the islands and reefs from time to time, causing them to break into pieces.
The expression on Gu Qing's face gradually disappeared under the five-color aura. Looking at the deep blue sea below, an inexplicable feeling appeared in his heart. After arriving in this sea area, in the sea of Qi in his Dantian, the space of the stone tablet The dark sphere it transformed into was already trembling.
And the amplitude of the tremors was even higher than when he rented the cave in Kurongfang and Zuiyunxuan.
That is to say...
In the sea below, there should really be a lost country, as Mukui said, caught in the cracks in space. Moreover, the dark sphere that caused the stone monument to transform into space, and the throbbing thing, probably exists in that lost country. Among!
As for whether the declining monk clan in the Lost Kingdom exists in the secret realm where the spiritual fruit was washed with red blood, it is unknown.
Soon, some doubts arose in Gu Qing's heart.
At this time, he was still above the sea.
And according to what Mukui said, the lost country is thousands of feet under the sea. If such a thing is in that lost country and is so far apart, why would it trigger the dark sphere transformed into the space of the stone monument? Having throbbing?
There was no clue about this matter, so Gu Qing simply pressed it down.
He then thought about another question.
Lin Yan, an elder disciple of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, also came to the Yuhai area to look for the lost kingdom. The information he even knew was more detailed than Mukui. For example, the capital of the lost kingdom, the city named Yi Where the capital is, there is a Yuan Zhen Temple.
'What Lin Yan wants to enter is a secret realm in this lost country... I hope that the thing that causes the space of the stone monument to fluctuate is not Lin Yan's purpose! Otherwise, we should consider killing this person and leave Linyu Sea Area as soon as possible.
Gu Qing thought expressionlessly.
He had missed it once and didn't want to miss it a second time.
Mukui adjusted his breath, and a few hours passed in a hurry.
The scorching sun was high, and the coldness of the sea below was briefly dispelled. Only then did Mukui put away the dull middle-grade spiritual stone in his hand.
"You two, I have almost recovered."
Mukui's face was rosy, he took a long breath, and said to Gu Qing and Cheng Su with a smile. Then, he didn't wait for Gu Qing and Cheng Su.
Cheng and Su responded, looked up at the scorching sun, and stood up.
"The fellow Taoists in front are expected to be impatient. Of course, one of the fellow Taoists with superb skills may have entered the lost kingdom." Mu Kui stroked his beard, stepped on the undulating sea, and turned around. He glanced at Gu Qing and Cheng Su, "The two Taoists are willing to protect me, so I told them something as a reward."
Mukui said, holding his hands and smiling: "At three o'clock in the middle of every month, when the Yang Qi is strong, the lost kingdom will briefly emerge from the cracks in space, appearing thousands of feet below the sea here, and at this time , I am somewhat confident that I can find a way into it."
Gu Qing looked up at the scorching sun thoughtfully, his eyes seemed to be shining with golden light: "It's three quarters past noon, it's only two or three quarters of an hour from now... I wonder, when does Fellow Taoist Mu plan to set off?"
"Fellow Daoist Gu, don't be impatient." Mu Kui moved his dry eyelids and quietly moved his gaze to the sea on the right.
He noticed that two strands of divine consciousness originally existed here, but as he spoke the words just now, these two strands of divine consciousness were withdrawn.
Gu Qing naturally noticed what Mukui noticed, but he knew it as if he didn't know it and didn't react in any way.
Cheng Su's eyes fell on the sea where Mu Kui was looking.
A hint of thought flashed across her eyes.
'I had a vague feeling that someone was spying on me before. It seems that Zhao Bei, Sun Han and others have not found the lost kingdom, so they have used their spiritual consciousness to spy on us.
'So, Mukui is waiting for these four people to come up?
Cheng Su's guess was correct.
Only about half a quarter of an hour.
Four figures came out of the water and spread out. The red-bearded and red-haired Zhao Bei first glanced at Gu Qing and Cheng Su, and then said to Mu Kui: "Fellow Taoist Mu, the four of us have returned from exploring the road. .”
"There is indeed something unusual about the vast sea below. Not only is the water there cut off by circles of invisible barriers, there are also extremely dangerous illusions that appear from time to time. It is difficult to distinguish between true and false... By the way, Sun Handao You caught the auras of other monks nearby."
Zhao Bei spoke solemnly, and then looked at the bald monk Sun Han, who was full of blood evil aura.
When Sun Han heard this, he glanced at Zhao Bei indifferently, with an expressionless face and cold eyes, which made Zhao Bei look a little worried.
"This breath should be left by the monks who have reached the first level of foundation building." Sun Han stretched out his finger forward, and a ball of bloody evil energy came out from his fingertips. After a while, the bloody evil energy dissipated, and a wisp of blood-colored evil energy dissipated. Gu Qing felt a familiar aura appear in front of Sun Han.
The consciousness of the seven people in the field focused on this aura at the same time.
'Xuan Yunzi's breath! After a brief analysis, Gu Qing determined that this aura came from Xuanyunzi. It seemed that Xuanyunzi had followed Lin Yan and entered the Lost Kingdom in some unknown way.
only……
He didn't sense Xuanyunzi nearby!
With that ray of spiritual power attached to Xuanyunzi's robe, Gu Qing could roughly sense the location of Xuanyunzi within a few thousand miles. At this time, if Xuanyunzi was in the lost land thousands of feet below the sea Kingdom, he couldn't sense the ray of spiritual power he left on his robe...
That means that Mukui's statement that the lost kingdom exists in the cracks of space is not false.
Gu Qing showed no abnormality.
The other monks also never recognized the owner of this aura.
"If you hadn't passed by this first level of foundation building, you might have entered the lost kingdom by chance." Mu Kui guessed, "We need to leave as soon as possible."
"That's right."
"rational."
"What Fellow Taoist Mu said is to follow someone's wishes!"
Gu Qing and others echoed.
Eyes focused on Mukui. All the cultivators knew at this time that if they wanted to enter the lost kingdom, they still had to rely on Mukui. They could do it on their own.
That headless fly stumbling about, at least in a short period of time, would not be able to enter the lost kingdom.
"After I entered the lost kingdom and found the secret realm, I had to choose three things first!" Seeing that the time was almost up, Mukui stopped hiding it and made a condition directly.
When the cultivators heard this, their expressions changed.
No one spoke for a while.
It was the overdressed female cultivator, Zhou Rong, who spoke up and broke the dead silence: "Fellow Taoist Mukui, regardless of whether we can find the secret realm, even if we find the secret realm and enter it safely, the situation inside is still unknown at this moment. There are only two or three treasures..."
Mukui nodded when he heard the words: "I have naturally thought of this situation. If there are only two or three treasures in it, I can just take one. If there is only one treasure in it, break it into a spiritual stone. I will take the big head and leave the rest. If there is no treasure in it, or if you have not found the secret place, or if you have found the secret place but cannot enter it, I will also give you some supplements."
"In this matter, I can make an oath of Taoism! If you violate it even a little bit, my Taoism will be broken, my cultivation will be dissipated, and I will turn into withered bones in the grave!"
As soon as Mukui said these words, thunder seemed to fall from the sky, and a thunderclap sounded, seemingly in response to Mukui's words.
So, everyone agreed one after another.
Mukui looked around at the cultivators and spoke softly:
"That's it, fellow Taoists, let's set off soon."
With that said, Mukui plunged into the sea water, his body was shrouded in a green aura, and he sank into an unknown depth. The cultivators looked at each other, and then they all joined forces and followed him.
Gu Qing was still waiting at the back.
With a calm expression, Cheng Su took out a water-repellent bead, and then glanced at Gu Qing with an unclear look. There was a bit of coldness in her eyes. She held the water-repellent bead forward, and soon , the figure is shrouded in a layer of mist like a water curtain.
The water curtain covered Cheng Su like a gauze, making Cheng Su's face a little more hazy and soft. Immediately, Cheng Su slowly entered the water and disappeared from Gu Qing's eyes at the same speed.
Above the sea, only Gu Qing's figure remained.
Gu Qing's eyes, without knowing when, had been dyed with a faint golden color, and he was looking into the void above the sea in the distance.
"Ha." A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
thump!
The golden light in Gu Qing's eyes quickly disappeared. He rolled over into the water, and the five-color aura circulated around him, chasing the people below.
Gu Qing looked at the void above the sea.
Behind an invisible barrier.
Four figures are hiding here.
"This guy seems to have discovered us!"
One of the cultivators of the third level of foundation building spoke like this.
Another cultivator of the fourth level of foundation building relaxed his frown and said: "That's true! The eye skills that this boy has practiced are extraordinary, and he can actually see through the cover of this thing! However, this boy, Mukui and others The monks are not very close, so they will not reveal our existence easily."
"This little friend, you should know this person." Among the four figures, the fifth-level cultivator with the strongest cultivation aura looked like a silver-haired old woman, looking at a beautiful female cultivator.
The aura of this beautiful female cultivator is only at the Great Perfection level of Qi refining. She seems to have been through the Foundation Establishment stage, so her aura is slightly different from the ordinary Qi Refining Great Perfection level.
"Yes, this person's name is Gu Qing, and I have indeed met him once. However, even though I have only met him once, I have determined that this person's cultivation is definitely not at the second level of foundation building..."
The sea is different from the land.
The number and types of creatures here far exceed those on land.
The five-color spiritual light flowing around Gu Qing gradually converged, and his figure fell straight into the sea, like an extremely heavy stone, with almost no breath leaking out.
The shallow waters are always beautiful.
The sea water is extremely clear, and the sun shines from above, turning the clear water into a golden color, and there are groups of colorful fish.
, swimming around. Although there were fewer fish nearby due to the previous disturbance by the monks, their number was still considerable.
The fish was as big as an adult man's head, with a huge mouth and a thin demonic aura about it. It bit down on Gu Qing's fair and slender neck at an extremely fast speed.
Gu Qing assessed it.
The speed of this fish that is expected to become a monster in the sea water is comparable to that of many mid-stage Qi refining practitioners.
Click!
This fish, which was about the same size as Gu Qing's head, had six rows of sharp white teeth on top and bottom. It bit Gu Qing's neck in one bite, but half of its fangs collapsed in an extremely miserable manner. Gu Qing casually caught it in his hand. , Yu'er struggled hard, but Gu Qing's hand didn't move at all.
Gu Qing took a closer look at the fish.
'The Cleft-Tooth Crimson Fish's eggs take half a year to hatch. After hatching, if it has not become a spirit, it will only live for three to five years. If it becomes a spirit, it can live for one or two hundred years. It is one of the main small monsters in the offshore sea. , its teeth, fins, bones, scales, etc. are all of certain value.
'However, it is recorded in the book that the most precious thing about this fish is its pair of pure blue eyes.
'Cracked Tooth Crimson Fish... Gu Qing carefully recalled the records in "Three Hundred Years of Scenery in the Vast Sea of Cultivation World". From then on, he found an introduction to the fish in front of him in the chapter on monsters, which only took up a few pages.
With a thought in his mind, Gu Qing spread the golden light in his hand toward the Cleft-Tooth Crimson Fish, covering his whole body except for his eyes. The Cleft-Tooth Crimson Fish was still struggling hard, but after being covered by the golden light, all of its body was covered except for its eyes. Except for the big eyes, everything turned into blood.
'Better than nothing, a little adds up to a lot. Gu Qing took the thin blood of the Cracked Tooth Crimson Fish into his body and refined it.
He closed his two blue eyes, and golden light began to glow around his body, flowing on his skin and flesh. For a moment, his body felt as heavy as a mountain, and his sinking speed suddenly accelerated ten times!
After the ancient demon's body became his clone, he was able to summon the power of the ancient demon. It was a completely different feeling than before. In the past, Gu Qing always felt like there was something behind him, but now the ancient demon's body had clearly become his clone. The feeling of being separated by something was gone.
Come to think of it, spiritual power cultivation will also affect the ancient demon's power. At this time, his clone, that is, the ancient demon's body, has no influence of spiritual power cultivation, so mobilizing the ancient demon's power will naturally be smooth. Very good, but he felt that the fit was still not perfect.
'The combination of the clone and the main body is certainly powerful, but the paths of the clone and the main body are different after all. When the two are combined, it is a restriction to a certain extent for both the main body and the clone.
Gu Qing seemed to have some realization.
As Gu Qing fell faster and faster, Cheng Su, who was shrouded in water drops below, sensed that something extremely heavy was falling rapidly from above and was about to approach her.
'Is that Gu Qing?
'What kind of escape technique is this person performing...
Cheng Su frowned slightly.
Cheng Su didn't have the slightest fondness for Gu Qing, who had played a trick on her before, but she had to admit that there was something different about this person. The escape technique he was using now was obviously her way of spying on his secrets. An opportunity.
Then Cheng Su's eyes glowed with white light and he stared upward.
But I saw a golden figure, breaking through the sea water in a very terrifying manner, falling like a sharp sword. Its speed was getting faster and faster, and a layer of air flow mixed with an extreme burning feeling was condensed around the body. Wherever it passed, the sea water was rolling like boiling water!
Cheng Su's mouth opened slightly, showing a slight loss of composure.
This Gu Qing didn't do any defense at all, and only relied on his physical body to cross the sea at such a fast speed. He...could he be an individual cultivator?
Buzz!
A brief buzz passed in front of Cheng Su, and a golden and red figure of about ten feet flashed past Cheng Su's eyes. The astonishing heat almost made Cheng Su's head fly out.
Fortunately, Cheng Su used his spiritual power to protect his body in time, but he ignored the water-repelling bead that was emitting white mist and condensing into a curtain of water.
Snapped!
The white misty water curtain is broken.
Click!
A crack appeared on Cheng Su's water-repelling bead. Under the white body-protecting aura, her originally calm expression was a little distorted.
