In the dilapidated city, all that can be seen are broken walls and ruins.
The marks of the long years have been left in every corner of this city. On the wide official road, you can see a large number of overgrown weeds and the remains of people, horses and livestock. In the distance, the collapsed city walls are piled up, and the wall bricks are piled up. They all seemed to be in decay.
There is no wind in this world, and there are no living creatures. The boundless silence seems to have come from eternity, covering everything.
Until this day.
A wind that had not appeared for an unknown number of years swept across the ruins of the city. The next moment the wind appeared, the earth and sky in this area trembled violently. In this tremor, this area The world, for a moment, felt like it was shrinking!
The shaking earth, the swaying light of the purple stars, this already dilapidated city was also affected. The ruins everywhere began to consume fly ash and were completely annihilated. On the several official roads leading to the city, there were clusters of miscellaneous things. Grass, humans, horses and livestock disintegrated almost instantly!
Fortunately, this sudden change only lasted for a short moment and then subsided, so that everything in this already dilapidated city was not destroyed.
The sound of breaking through the sky sounded from the distance, getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, several rays of light from the distance came closer, and two of them landed directly on the ruins of the city.
The two rays of light collapsed inwards, condensing into two figures. One of them looked like a young man, wearing a dark robe, with an ordinary face, and the other was short, like a boy.
There was only a brilliant five-color escaping light, which circled several times above the ruins of the city - if this long-forgotten city itself would recall it like a sentient being, it would probably think of how long ago it was. Maybe it was a bird or monster like a goshawk, maybe it was some monk next to it, and it might have been hovering above it like a star, and in this memory, there was a touch of sadness.
Unfortunately, it doesn't remember.
It is just a lost country caught in the void, a forgotten city, a dead city.
Mukui in black robes stood in front of the east gate of the city, holding a red compass and squinting at the ruins in front of him.
Above the red compass, several lines of dark-colored seal characters were spinning rapidly in the air without stopping for a long time. Mukui muttered something in his mouth, made secrets with one hand, and shot out a stream of auras towards it.
Mukui looked at the several lines of seal characters rotating on the red compass, frowned, and put away the red compass.
He turned around and glanced at Wu Ju, and said: "This place must be a city without a doubt! I have seen descriptions of cities and capitals in the classics of other secular countries. Although this place is dilapidated, it can still be seen in general. Its basic structure..."
"It is also thanks to the fact that there is no wind here, and there will be no earthquakes, that the basic layout of the city has not changed."
"Fortunately, although the commotion caused by our previous breakthrough into this world affected this city, it did not have an excessive impact on this city, let alone change the pattern of this city."
When Wu Ju heard what Mukui said, his expression seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
On his boyish pink and jade-carved cheeks, a pair of bright and vicissitudes of eyes moved slightly, looking at Mu Kui: "I don't know what fellow Taoist Mu was calculating before? Can you explain it to Wu?"
Mukui's face was expressionless, and his eyes looked coldly at Wu Ju.
The atmosphere between the two people immediately became a little solid.
At this time, the brilliant escaping light of five colors fell on Mukui's side, and Gu Qing's figure was revealed: "Since this place is the capital, it follows the sixteen-character beginning that Taoist friend Mukui told him before,' "Yi Li" is the word "Yi Li" in Yuan Zhen.
The golden color in Gu Qing's eyes did not shrink.
He looked at this place quietly, trying to find the 'Yuanzhen Temple' that Lin Yan had mentioned before in Xiuzhenfang City, Qingshu Island.
Among the sixteen words Mukui told him, there was also the word "Yuan Zhen". According to what those sixteen words said, to enter the secret realm, you undoubtedly need to go to the Yuan Zhen Temple in Yidu first.
Thinking about this, Gu Qing continued: "According to what the four characters of 'Yi Li Yuan Zhen' say, we should be looking for a place named 'Yuan Zhen' in this city... According to Gu,' The word Yuan Zhen is similar to the name of a Taoist temple."
Gu Qing's eyes seemed to have penetrated the long years. He seemed to see the city in front of the dead ruins becoming brand new. The intricate streets were busy with traffic and people, and the sounds of hawking and shouting came one after another. .
Mukui's eyes flashed slightly.
He turned to look at Gu Qing and said with a smile, "What Gu Daoyou said makes sense! The word Yuan Zhen is more like the name of a Taoist temple."
"It seems that there should be a Taoist temple called Yuan Zhen in this city. We might as well find this Taoist temple first, and then talk about other things... What do fellow Taoist Wu Ju think?" Mu Kui asked Wu Ju.
"Heh... Fellow Taoist Mu is right." Wu Ju responded, then flew out and stepped into the ruins of the city to search.
Seeing this, Gu Qing followed closely behind.
Mukui looked at the backs of the two of them, his eyes revealing his thoughts: "Perhaps it is because we broke into this world before, which caused the Qi here to fall into chaos, making it impossible for me to determine the location of Yuan Zhen Guan. In addition, , why does Gu Qing know that the word Yuan Zhen refers to a Taoist temple? "
Mu Kui didn't think that Gu Qing's suggestion that the word "Yuan Zhen" might refer to a Taoist temple was just his guess.
He felt that before going to the appointment, Gu Qing should have investigated the affairs of the Lost Kingdom, and then he knew that there was a Taoist temple named Yuan Zhen in the capital of the Lost Kingdom.
'Are they those people who were silenced in the first place, and are there any others who slipped through the net? Or is there someone else who knows about the declining monk clan? Mukui touched his chin and guessed.
Mukui's thoughts only happened in the blink of an eye.
Soon, holding the red compass, he stepped into the ruins of the city and looked for the Taoist temple named Yuan Zhen.
For Gu Qing, Wu Ju, and Mukui, the city with a radius of hundreds of miles is just a small place.
In just ten breaths of time, the three of them had already searched through the city, and found the Taoist temple named Yuan Zhen on the easternmost side of the city. As for why they found it so quickly... …
This Yuan Zhen Temple is obviously different from other buildings in the city. Although the main halls have collapsed, there are still two side halls that were half sunken underground and a statue of a god that is more than ten feet high, which is not damaged at all.
After so many years, even when the blue bricks paving the city's ground have almost rotted away, the two side halls and the golden statue are still intact. This is enough to show how extraordinary this place is. And the base of the golden statue, The found word Yuan Zhen allowed Gu Qing, Wu Ju, and Mukui to confirm that this place was Yuan Zhen Temple.
Gu Qing and the other three stood on the ruins of Yuan Zhen Temple.
This Yuan Zhen Temple originally occupied a large area. Just looking at the size of the Yuan Zhen Temple ruins, it is far larger than the ruins of the palace complex located in the center of the city, which is suspected to be an imperial palace.
Standing on the ruins of Yuan Zhen Temple, Gu Qing looked at the golden statue about 10 feet tall that he had straightened upright with his own hands. The statue was a female, with a compassionate face and lowered eyebrows. It was so lifelike that it was amazing to see it.
Gu Qing guessed that the statue should be that of a female cultivator, and that she was a powerful female cultivator. Perhaps she was the ancestor of the declining cultivator clan? So does Yuan Zhen Guan have anything to do with the declining monk clan?
'In the middle of Zhou Xing's concentration, the universe is empty, and it can be seen that Chihong... has arrived. In the Yuan Zhen Temple, Gu Qing recalled the remaining twelve characters, 'In the middle of Zhou's Xing's concentration, the two characters Zhou Xing are different. The location seems to be related to cultivation. As for the word "Ding Zhong"...
'Could it be that we want to practice meditation in this Yuan Zhen Guan? But after cultivating into samadhi, how can we fulfill the requirements of the next eight words? Qiankun is a hole in the void, and we can see Chihong. What does Qiankun refer to? Where is the void in the hole? Is Chihong the guiding light in that secret realm...
Gu Qing looked at the face of the statue
, his thoughts were like a ball of thread, getting more and more messy. He frowned, and a pair of golden eyes scanned the statue. When he passed under the left eyelid of the statue, he seemed to see some white blur. Brilliance.
'Um?
'This white light... seems to be the route for practicing martial arts?
Gu Qing's heart moved.
He remained calm and continued to look up, down, left and right at the golden statue's body as if aimlessly.
Mukui was walking on the ruins of Yuan Zhen Temple with his hands behind his hands. At a certain moment, he turned back and glanced at Gu Qing, who was looking at the golden statue, and Wu Ju, who was sitting cross-legged beside him, as if he was recovering his spiritual power.
"Since this place is the Yuan Zhen Temple, the four characters of 'Yili Yuan Zhen' have been solved. I wonder what your opinions are on the remaining twelve characters?" Mu Kui asked Gu Qing and Wu Ju at the same time.
"According to Gu, the four words "Zhou Xingding" are supposed to describe a state of cultivation. The void in the universe is not clear to Gu... Fellow Taoist Wu must know something." Gu Qing withdrew his eyes and stared at the golden statue. Eyes, responded.
Wu Ju also opened his eyes at this time.
The spiritual power around his body fluctuated, gathering together and not dispersing. He glanced at Gu Qing and said, "Zhou Xingzhong is indeed as Taoist friend Gu understands. In order to enter a state of meditation and practice, the void of the universe is just the light of the eyes. The left eye of a man is yang, which is Qian, and the right eye is yin, which is Kun. On the contrary, the light of a woman's eyes is the light of the void of the universe."
"As for the last sentence among the sixteen words, "See Chi Hong", only when the time comes can you two understand it."
The frankness of Wu Ju's words made both Gu Qing and Mukui look at him with suspicion, and both of them felt a little surprised.
Although the three of them are bound by the oath of the Tao Heart, their relationship is by no means a good one. It can only be said that they are bound by the Oath of the Tao Heart. Each of the three will not deal with the other two easily, but similarly, the three of them are bound by the Oath of the Tao Heart. Everyone among people is in competition and is unlikely to help the other two.
Then why would Wu Ju reveal such exclusive information? Mu Kui was willing to take Gu Qing and Wu Ju with him because his strength alone was not enough to break the previous space of heaven and earth. What did Wu Ju need the two of them to do now?
Gu Qing's Mukui was in doubt.
The earth and sky here suddenly trembled!
Boom!
The sound of cracking in the ground resounded, like countless muffled thunders exploding deep underground. The expressions of Gu Qing, Mukui, and Wu Ju changed at the same time. The three of them felt that the power of the world that they could sense had lost control at the same time. A feeling of being trapped in a void!
The ground beneath my feet was shaking, and an extremely wide crack appeared, cracking rapidly towards the direction of the city. It actually split the ruins of the entire city into two halves on the spot!
The golden statue immediately sank into the cracks in the ground and fell downwards. Gu Qing, Mukui, and Wu Ju each rose into the air, urging their spiritual power around them. Each of them had auras in their eyes. They looked not far away, where a The dark crack was healing quickly, and the next moment a few people looked over, the dark crack had healed.
Several figures emerged from the space crack that suddenly appeared and closed quickly, and flew towards the direction of the three people.
These figures are divided into two groups.
There were three people in the group in front. They were Cheng Su who was born in Shuixiao Palace, Zhou Rong who had taken off her bloated clothes and had a well-proportioned figure, and Sun Han, a bald monk who was full of blood evil aura.
There are four people behind.
The person in the lead was a silver-haired old woman at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment. In her hands, the silver-haired old woman was also holding an extremely miserable woman covered in blood, a middle-aged male cultivator at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, and a silver-haired old woman. A young female cultivator of the third level of Foundation Establishment with a similar face to the old woman followed behind the old woman.
The two groups of people chasing and escaping were probably less than 200 miles away from the positions of Gu Qing, Mukui, and Wu Ju.
Gu Qing's eyes were blessed by the power of the ancient demon. After a few glances from a distance, he recognized that the woman with blood stains and a slightly swollen body carried by the silver-haired old woman was actually Tang Yun, who had met him once! I still remember that Mukui said that Tang Yun was one of his descendants.
generation.
In that city, Yuan Zhen was in the middle of Zhou Xing's concentration, and the universe was empty. It can be seen that the sixteen characters of Chi Hong were also the daughter of Tang Yun. They managed to get them from the descendants of the declining monk clan... Judging from the current situation, that The silver-haired old woman who captured Tang Yun also came to the secret realm.
Gu Qing turned his head slightly and looked at Mu Kui.
As expected, Mukui's expression became a little gloomy.
Sensing the looks that Gu Qing and Wu Ju were looking at, Mu Kui's old face turned even darker. He jumped into the air and walked straight towards the silver-haired old woman: "Huh! Su Qing, your Heyu Sect claims to be a well-known and upright sect, but you are so evil. What's wrong? I'm here, let the younger disciples of our sect be released immediately!"
Gu Qing followed Mukui quietly.
He noticed that Wu Ju also made the same choice, but he and Wu Ju just followed Mukui from a distance.
'This silver-haired old woman at the fifth level of foundation building, whom Mu Kui calls Su Qing, is from a sect called Heyu Sect... Is the Heyu Sect also a small force in Linyu Sea Area? Gu Qing looked at the silver-haired old woman quietly through the five-color light flowing around him.
The silver-haired old woman noticed that Mukui was coming to kill her, and her expression changed slightly.
Then he sneered, threw the Tang Yun he was holding to the female cultivator of the third level of Foundation Establishment beside him, and suddenly kicked his foot into the air.
Bang!
Where the silver-haired old woman stepped down, the air was immediately emptied, and the strong air flow dispersed in all directions. The silver-haired old woman took advantage of the force and struck out at Mukui with a palm. The extreme chill mixed with the extremely blazing heat flow. , gathered in the palm of the old woman.
"You old and immortal bitch, today is the day you die!" The silver-haired old woman looked ferocious, and ice and fire gathered in her palms, suddenly forming a beam of light that was more than ten feet in size, and hit Mukui!
Boom!
The light beam of ice and fire fell on Mukui instantly.
An extremely violent explosion sounded, and the extremely powerful impact swept all around, crushing the mountain peaks on the side with a click, and even the light of the purple stars fell into chaos!
Zhou Rong, Sun Han, and Cheng Su, who were escaping, had a flash of spiritual light all over their bodies. They were hundreds of feet apart, and they were also knocked away by the impact. Gu Qing and Wu Ju did not take a step back.
They were still rapidly approaching the battle group of Mukui and the silver-haired old woman, but they all felt a lot of pressure.
Wu Ju's originally pale face seemed to have become a bit paler at this moment. He sent a message to Gu Qing: "Fellow Daoist Gu, can we help you...!"
Just when Wu Ju asked Gu Qing if he would help Mukui, the man and woman following the silver-haired old woman were already heading straight for Gu Qing and Wu Ju. The male cultivator at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, and the Foundation Establishment The female cultivators of the third level sacrificed one spiritual weapon and several magic weapons respectively. They held the talismans in their hands, and their auras shone brightly, which could be described as menacing!
"Fellow Daoist Wu, I will leave the male cultivator to you." At the same time that Wu Ju asked, Gu Qing was already heading towards the female cultivator at the third level of Foundation Establishment. At this time, he informed Wu Ju by the way.
Wu Ju's body froze, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
His original intention was to deal with the female cultivator at the third level of Foundation Establishment himself, and let Gu Qing deal with the male cultivator at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment. After all, the strength shown by Gu Qing was no less than that of Mu Kui, a fifth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator.
But who would have imagined that Gu Qing would go straight to the female cultivator at the third level of foundation building! Wu Ju was speechless, but he couldn't take action to force Gu Qing back, or compete with Gu Qing for his opponent.
Wu Ju could only look at the male cultivator at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment. He clapped his little hand forward and pulled out a golden flying sword.
He sneered, and the human sword merged into a rainbow and went straight to the fourth level of foundation building. His spiritual consciousness sneered: "Huh! Wu hasn't been walking outside for a long time, and he doesn't know how many people there are in the Heyu Sect today. What kind of comrades from Cat and Dog are in the middle stage of foundation building!"
When the male cultivator at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment heard this, his expression became even colder.
He slapped the talisman in his hand forward, and immediately a huge black shadow of a dragon suddenly condensed out and went straight to the Changhong transformed by Wu Ju to swallow it!
Five colors of spiritual light flowed around Gu Qing, and the spiritual power of the second level of Foundation Establishment did not fluctuate at all.
To cover up, the female cultivator of the third level of Foundation Establishment, who had a face similar to that of the silver-haired old woman, did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
Since this black-robed monk can follow the old ghost Mokuimu here, he will never be as weak as he appears. Even if his spiritual power is only at the second level of Foundation Establishment, his strength must be comparable to those at the third level of Foundation Establishment. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Old Ghost Mu will not be able to use it smoothly when he is paving the way for cannon fodder!
Therefore, he looked at the black-robed monk walking towards him through the air. Apart from the five-color spiritual light, he seemed to have no means of defense. However, the female cultivator of the third level of Foundation Establishment was still on guard. Magic weapon flying sword, a little test.
Zheng!
The sound of sword clanging sounded in Gu Qing's ears.
The next moment, an extremely solid sword light hit Gu Qing like a wave. Gu Qing turned his head slightly, raised his hand, and flicked forward, hitting the sword light!
Snapped! The silver-white solid sword light shattered on the spot.
But this is just the beginning.
As the sword light shattered, the sword lights around Gu Qing continued to rise like waves in the sea, falling towards him. This reminded Gu Qing of the Lotus Sword Art he had practiced, and he still remembered it. , there is a similar sword move in the Lotus Sword Technique.
Gu Qing flicked his fingers and shattered the bright silver sword lights into pieces. Looking from a distance, he felt relaxed and freehand.
The female cultivator at the third level of Foundation Establishment had a bit of pretentious panic in her pretty face, but there was a bit of ruthlessness in her eyes.
Ever since she mastered this sword stance, she had to set it up for a long time before she could truly exert its power. Therefore, she has never really used this sword stance in a fight with an enemy.
And now this black-clothed monk obviously underestimated her. Although she was resentful about being underestimated, she still wanted to seize this opportunity and kill this black-clothed monk with that sword power... She couldn't say, kill this man. After the monk in black, her sword power will have a breakthrough!
So thinking.
This female cultivator at the third level of foundation building was fighting and retreating. Except for the spiritual weapon that protected her figure, and the flying sword, the top-notch magical weapon that cut out sword lights all over Gu Qing as she continued to seal her body. In addition, she also sacrificed two other top-quality magic weapons and a spiritual weapon flying sword!
This flying sword, a spiritual weapon, had a body that was winding like a snake, like a puddle of autumn water, and had no hilt. After being sacrificed by this woman, it immediately escaped into the void, echoing the three top-quality flying swords.
These four flying swords have formed a faint formation of four images, locking Gu Qing who was surrounded by many solid and bright silver-white sword lights not far away. When the female cultivator saw this, the light in her eyes surged.
"The formation is complete! The killing sword force, lead!"
The female cultivator was so coquettish.
Immediately, the tips of her five fingers overflowed with red blood at the same time. Her finger tips quickly changed, and they suddenly condensed into sword fingers, which she stabbed hard in the direction of Gu Qing. During this process, she He also bit the tip of his tongue suddenly and spurted out a mouthful of black and red hot blood!
The four scattered flying swords instantly merged into one.
The three top-quality flying swords seemed to be condensed into the snake-like spiritual weapon. The four swords merged into one, and actually formed a shadow of a hundred-foot giant sword in mid-air. The clouds in the sky Tear apart, the ground below was forcibly cut off, and this giant sword seemed to separate the world into two halves!
An even stronger sound of sword clanging echoed throughout the city, and the hundred-foot giant sword fell instantly, crushing the silver-white sword light that continued to appear around Gu Qing, as if it was going to crush Gu Qing's entire body!
'This sword is very strong.
Gu Qing's golden eyes were full of interest as he looked at the falling Hundred-foot Giant Sword. Golden light suddenly appeared all over his body. Everything nearby, except for the Hundred-foot Giant Sword falling above, became distorted. Attaching towards his body.
Click!
He circulated the power of the ancient demon around him and effortlessly broke away from the surrounding blockade. Then... he activated the close talisman that he had taken out from his hand at some point. Accompanying his own speed, he escaped at the critical moment. He grabbed the fallen hundred-foot giant sword and headed straight for the third-level foundation-building female cultivator!
Not far away, the female cultivator of the third level of Foundation Establishment only felt a phantom coming out of her condensed body at an unbelievable speed.
The giant sword escaped under the shadow, and in just a blink of an eye, it was already extremely close to her!
