The steady drizzle fell like mist.
The Heyang County town shrouded in drizzle was illuminated by lanterns hanging by the roadside, but under the dim and mottled light, everything was not clear.
Gu Qing stood sideways in front of the courtyard gate.
Killing Tu Kun and sending away the seriously injured Xu He was just a matter of hands for Gu Qing, who had recovered his cultivation.
He stretched out his hand to catch the falling rain in the pitch-black sky, feeling the coolness of the rain and the vitality in it.
'The rain in this world is a bit hot, but it is not as cool as the rain in Yunhan Guxing. ' He waved away the rainwater in his hand and glanced at a certain direction not far to the side unintentionally. His eyes fell on someone through the dark rain curtain, and he smiled slightly, 'Are you from the True Form Museum... '
'Now that I have recovered my cultivation, I should implement my previous plan, but I cannot give up the identity of Gu Laodao. At least, Gu Laodao must exist before he can leave this world at any time. '
Gu Qing crossed the threshold and closed the courtyard door with a creak.
The rain all over the street seemed to be shut out.
It's about two to three hundred feet on one side of the small courtyard.
In the courtyard of another small courtyard, there is a two-story house.
On the terrace, two practitioners from the Zhenxing Pavilion were tense and sweating, not daring to make the slightest move.
The two people were a man and a woman. The man looked very ordinary, about thirty or forty years old, and the woman was good-looking, about thirty years old. Both of them had lips that were swollen when Gu Qing glanced over just now. Trembling, the fear brewing in my chest made it difficult to speak.
Although this world has the unique method of refining the Tao True Shape Chart, the practitioners in this world only know how to practice some offensive methods. Even if they are practicing True Qi, the purpose is to be able to cast some kind of True Shape Talisman.
This leads to the fact that although cultivators in this world also practice the method of visualization, their souls are generally extremely weak. Monks like Gu Qing, who are at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, will naturally be captured by his gaze with spiritual pressure.
On the terrace, the two were silent for a long time.
The pretty woman among them spoke in shock: "This old Taoist Gu, what kind of strength is he? He can actually kill Tu Kun, the abandoned disciple of Bodhi Temple, with a light weight! Where did that five-color sword energy come from? I’ve never seen this old Taoist use a sword..."
"Xiao Wan, the true shape talisman cultivated by Gu Laodao is definitely not as simple as we guessed before. It is just the basic fire element true shape diagram." The man in his thirties or forties spoke solemnly.
"It would be better for me to inform the owner of the museum as soon as possible." After listening to the man's words, the woman's expression slowly relaxed, and her previous shock dissipated.
It doesn't matter how strong this old Taoist is?
What does it have to do with her?
There is no need for her to be alarmed by this veteran's tyranny. After all, she is a disciple of Bodhi Temple, one of the two extremes in Dingzhou!
No matter how strong this old Taoist is, he is so strong that he can open a mountain with one palm, how can he defeat the masters of Bodhi Temple? How can it overshadow the thousand-year-old heritage of Bodhi Temple?
"Notify the museum owner, of course, we have to be quick, but..." The man in his thirties or forties frowned, remembering the look that Gu Qing looked over, "This old man may not be willing, we informed the museum owner so early, he just looked over That look is a warning, it’s better for you and me to be cautious.”
After all, you only have one life.
This man kept this sentence in his heart and did not say it.
The woman was slightly startled and wanted to refute, but she remembered the sight of Gu Qing before, her heart trembled, and she nodded: "Okay, it won't be too late to notify the owner in the early morning."
…
Gu Qing was not surprised that the Zhenxiang Museum arranged for the two people to monitor him, nor did he think there was anything wrong.
It is normal for a strong man like him to suddenly appear, to be focused on. It would be strange if Heyang City's Zhenxiang Pavilion did not do this.
He stepped slowly and walked in the courtyard.
The true shape of the flowing flames that he had previously deduced in the courtyard, the white flames that had been triggered, and the large pit created by the fire had been completely filled in yesterday due to the hard work of the craftsmen hired by Gu Xing.
Of course, there must be some color differences between the masonry at the previous big pit and the masonry elsewhere in the courtyard. The new bricks are a little white, while the old bricks are dull, and some are even covered with moss. This is The traces left by the years are the interaction between the bricks and stones here and the world.
Gu Qing has always been confused about the world in this fantasy thunder cauldron. Whether he got something from the world in this square cauldron or from the world in the two previous square cauldrons, however, nothing appeared within the scope of his knowledge. 'pay'.
For example, the first world.
It was a world where magical 'technology' existed, which allowed ordinary people to fly into the sky and escape to the earth under certain conditions. After Gu Qing left that world, he got some golden thunder that could be used as a messenger - although , the power of those golden thunders is very weak.
And in the long-term practice after that, all the scum had been wiped away by the chaotic power of Gu Qing.
But getting is getting.
And although he exerted some influence on that world, he didn't leave anything behind. This is really unreasonable. The same thing happened in the world in the second tripod that he entered.
The world in the second side of the tripod is the world of cultivation on the other side.
He has made great progress in his cultivation in that world, acquired the secret technique of evil sword and many special methods, and then gained the strength to kill his former enemy Li Hengyang, but what did he pay to that world?
The biggest difference between the real world and illusion is that creation cannot happen out of thin air in the real world. One thing can only be transformed into another thing.
Even if you reach the state of understanding the laws of the great road, you should not be able to change this. Things that seem to be born out of thin air must have a reason for their birth. Investigating this reason is the ultimate method.
This is what the Buddha calls ultimate nirvana.
And the fact that he left the world in the two-sided cauldron with the harvest from the two-sided cauldron can only mean one thing.
The world in Dingzhong is not a real independent world.
If the world in the cauldron is a real independent world, then he will definitely not be able to take away any benefits from here, and can only make an equal exchange. Just like, if a monk dies in some space crack, then his cultivation level will be It will not dissipate into the cracks in space and return to nothingness, but will return to the world where the monk was born.
Thinking of this, Gu Qing paused in his steps.
He raised his arm slightly, and a bit of golden light seemed to bloom in his palm. The light and shadow around him seemed to tremble, and then the golden light in his palm disappeared.
A layer of illusion like a water curtain formed around it, covering Gu Qing's figure. He held the Nine Wonderful Heavenly Flower Wheel, looked at the figure condensed with this spiritual weapon, and walked back into the house step by step. Then he sat on the bed, crossed his legs, and closed his empty eyes.
Standing in the courtyard, covered by a radiant illusion like a water curtain, Gu Qing's old body was as old as dry bark, and there was a cyan brilliance flowing. The previous burns healed quickly, and layers of old skin fell off, but The moment they left the body, they all turned into ashes.
However, after a breath or two passed, all the injuries on this old body were healed. Gu Qing put away the green light around him and changed his mind.
Immediately, his body changed for a while, transforming into a young and handsome appearance. Then, he threw the Nine Wonderful Heavenly Flower Treasure Wheel in his hand to the ground.
The Nine Wonderful Heavenly Flower Wheel rose up in the wind, and in the blink of an eye it became about ten feet in size. Gu Qing took one step forward and sat on it. Then the Nine Wonderful Heavenly Flower Wheel held him up and slowly rose into the air, against the sparse rain line. Maintaining that layer of covering illusion, he came to the sky above Heyang City.
The continuous drizzle at the moment is not conducive to the use of illusions and the creation of illusions. The illusion cast by Gu Qing with the Nine Wonderful Heavenly Flower Treasure Wheel is not very clever. Anyone who is brave and careful can see through it.
The Nine Wonderful Heavenly Flower Wheel carried Gu Qing and kept rising into the sky, getting farther and farther away from Heyang City below. After a while, the buildings below had all turned into small dots under Gu Qing's overlooking gaze. The surrounding temperature is extremely low, enough to freeze most living creatures to death.
'Since this world does not exist independently, it cannot be called a world. It can at best be called a small world... Since it is a small world, there must be more ways to escape from this small world than the one I have explored before...'
'In other words, the method of escaping from the world in the cauldron that I discovered before is fundamentally wrong and undesirable. '
'I used to think that as long as you exert enough influence on the world in the cauldron, you can have the ability to escape from the world in the cauldron. From this point of view, it is just some self-righteous conjecture. In fact, it is the world in the cauldron, or a small world. The will of the world, after I exerted enough influence on the small world, finally saw through the disguise given to me by the Fantasy Thunder Cauldron, noticed me, and then kicked me out...'
'That is not the correct way to open the world in Dingzhong. '
'Therefore, the correct way to open the world in the cauldron, in addition to being able to control the world contained in the cauldron at will after the sacrifice to the Fantasy Thunder Cauldron is completed, is to establish a cross-border teleportation array here, and then in the Unever Lotus Fantasy At the time of Thunder Cauldron, it was also possible to enter and exit the world in the cauldron at will. '
Gu Qing controlled the Nine Wonderful Heavenly Flower Treasure Wheel and flew higher and higher. After about two hours, he finally came to the end of the star's sky - there is no Gangfeng layer on this star. , there is only one huge star above, and Gu Qing cannot describe how huge it is.
The stars exude a pale white brilliance. Although they are extremely large, their texture is somewhat illusory. From Gu Qing's perspective, they look like reflections in water.
'The moon and stars are false, and the stars in the sky are also false. Gu Qing's eyes moved away from the star and looked at the dots of starlight scattered in the pitch black. Those starlights were also reflections of real stars.
'The two great suns of the day should also be false... Was this small world carefully arranged by someone, or was it a natural creation? Gu Qing did not continue to explore upwards. The top gave him a sense of danger. If he rashly broke into it, it would probably cause unknown changes.
Gu Qing pondered for a moment, then rode the Nine Wonderful Heavenly Flower Wheel and began to head towards the stars below. If the star below was much larger than what Gu Qing had seen before, then the star where the Zichen Secret Realm was located was a hundred times larger. At the end of the starry sky, it is difficult to see even one percent of the stars. In fact, the stars look like flat land!
"Um?"
Gu Qing's heart suddenly jumped.
He paused as he descended, glanced around a few times, and realized in his heart that this might really be a vast continent, not stars!
After he had seen the stars where the Zichen Secret Realm was located and learned about the concept of the Yunhan Ancient Star, he would almost acquiesce that everywhere he went, any land and ocean, existed on the stars.
But the world in this square tripod is not a real world at all. Even the sun, moon and stars above are just projections.
Gu Qing descended slowly, always maintaining the illusion around him. He took out a high-grade spiritual stone in his hand and resumed the consumption of the Nine Wonderful Heavenly Flower Treasure Wheel.
An hour and a half later, Gu Qing came to the dark clouds that had not dispersed below. At this time, the wind and rain became more violent, with thunder rolling, lightning across the sky, and it was already raining heavily in Dingzhou.
Gu Qing no longer descended, but closed his eyes in the dark clouds and sat cross-legged for a while. Thunderbolts struck him, but they were unable to cause any damage to him. Instead, they were continuously sucked into his body, causing lightning in the dark clouds. It started suddenly, like constipation, and then stopped.
Just before the sound was about to start, the thunderous thunder made many cultivators in Dingzhou below frown.
Gu Qing's whole body flashed with five colors of spiritual light, condensing a five-color flowing spiritual power cover. He held the high-grade spirit stone in one hand, and took out the scroll of the Ten Thousand Realms Shuttle Array with the other hand. method, studied it carefully again.
'This Ten Thousand Worlds Shuttle Formation, the most important formation base, must be refined with Yunjing, and then 360,000 unique Yunming Forbidden Elements must be driven into the formation base, and then the formation plate must be truly carved. We have to activate the spiritual fire to smelt the star sand and shape it, then carve the formation diagram on it, and also spend 360,000 yuan to Yunming Forbidden Sacrifice to refine it..."
"Then the formation must be activated with the best spiritual stones, and the expenditure of spiritual stones depends on the distance between the interfaces to be crossed... The person who gave me the Ten Thousand Realms Shuttle Formation before did not seem to have done anything so complicated. Let's do it..." Gu Qing closed the scroll, put it away, looked at the dark clouds, his eyes flickered, and he touched his chin.
'The Ten Thousand Realms Shuttle Array is different from the ordinary one-way teleportation array. After setting up the one-way teleportation array, it is not necessary to ensure that there is another teleportation array as an exit at the corresponding interface and location. '
'As long as you know the spatial coordinates or the unique landscape of the corresponding location, you can try to go to any interface or location... From this point of view, the Ten Thousand Realms Shuttle Array is truly worthy of its name. '
'Yun Jing should be formed by gathering misty clouds. Yun Mingjin's condensation method has been recorded in the scroll. In addition, I still have a partial understanding of the formation diagram of the formation disk. I also don't know what kind of spirit the star sand used to refine the formation disk is. Material, is it some high-grade spiritual material...'
While thinking, Gu Qing's figure dropped again.
He returned to Heyang City and went straight to the small courtyard where he settled.
The east part of Heyang City.
The scene inside and outside a small courtyard seemed to shake for a moment, and then, in the small courtyard, on a bed in a certain house, an old figure sitting cross-legged with eyes closed gradually disappeared. Gu Qing, in black robe and dark hair, appeared at the place where the old figure disappeared. On the scene, his appearance changed rapidly, turning into an old appearance.
'It is not easy to arrange the shuttle array of all realms. It should be difficult to arrange the shuttle array of all realms in this world...'
'However, the method of escaping from this world is not complicated after previous thinking. It can be done easily. All it takes is to knock down a few mountains. The will of this world will inevitably detect my existence and exclude me... Gu Qing lowered his eyes, holding the high-grade spirit stone in one hand, and stretched out the other hand to draw in the air.
The red flames escaped from his fingertips and sketched in the air for a long time. A picture of the true shape of the flames that he had deduced appeared in front of him. He captured the red flames with his spiritual consciousness and looked at it.
While looking at the drawing of the true shape of the flowing flames that had been deduced, Gu Qing used the flowing flames to draw the undeduced true shape of the flowing flames next to the drawing of the true shape of the flowing flames. Consciousness takes hold.
"The True Shape Diagram of Flowing Flames... The changes of ups and downs that I realized before seem to be close to the prototype of the Divine Will of Fire, but the True Shape Diagram of Flowing Flames deduced is quite far from the Divine Will of Fire that represents Xia Shi. , or in other words, the true form diagram of the Flowing Flame is still too simple, whether it is before or after the derivation." Gu Qing paced to himself.
"According to what the previous ascetic said, the deduced true shape diagram of the flowing flames is close to the second realm of this world...the second realm..."
Gu Qing's consciousness spread towards Heyang City.
He does not underestimate the practitioners in this world, and he does not think that with his current strength, he can walk sideways in this world.
If he really is invincible in this world, then things will be simple. He doesn't have to think so much, he can just directly attack the big orthodoxies in this world and force them to hand over the deepest secrets of the true form of refining the way.
After the divine consciousness enveloped the inside and outside of Heyang City, Gu Qing looked for the True Form Diagram of the Refining Dao within the scope of Heyang City. After searching for about an hour, the power of his divine soul was greatly consumed, and he finally couldn't hold it any longer, so he at least took it back. With consciousness, he closed his eyes and stood there for a while,
"call……"
Gu Qing let out a long breath and opened his eyes tiredly.
'According to what I can observe with my spiritual consciousness, there are seventeen true-shape diagrams of refining the Tao in and around Heyang City, divided into six types. Among them, the true-shape diagrams of the Flowing Flames are not unique to the old Taoist Gu Yunqing. There are two other people who also possess the Flowing Flames. True shape diagrams, except for the Flowing Flame True Shape Diagram, the others are all basic true shape diagrams of water, wood, and metal elements, and are not of much value. '
He started walking in the house again, and before long, he had drawn all six true shapes in mid-air and captured them with his spiritual consciousness.
The seven true shape diagrams include four of the five elements: wood, fire, metal, and water. They are all made of burning flames frozen in mid-air. It seems that each true shape diagram is very mysterious, and it is based on Gu Qing's previous figures. The new flowing flame true shape diagram deduced is the most complicated and unnatural.
'You must obtain a more profound true form diagram of the movement of fire before you can go one step further and explore how to understand the divine intention of fire... In addition, the method of cultivating the true form diagram in this world does have its own wonders. If you can master it, Turn it into a secret method to assist cultivation, and use it for me...'
