Deep in the valley, birds were singing and flowers were fragrant. Xu You filtered the aura of heaven and earth in this area, which not only made the aura of heaven and earth pure, but also restored vitality to this area. Although it was not as abundant as the aura of Kunlun Mountain, it was still It is comparable to the spiritual veins occupied by ordinary small sects.
However, the valley itself has no spiritual veins, so it is difficult to gather so much heaven and earth spiritual energy. Therefore, Xu You gathered the heaven and earth spiritual energy from around the valley, refined it, and then discharged the yin energy, demonic energy, etc., so that the Kunlun disciples It makes practice more convenient, but it also makes other places more smoky.
Of course, in the minds of the Kunlun disciples, no one had the idea that it was not good for Xu You to do this, and they were even overjoyed because their elder could do this.
Ten years ago, the powerful Wu clan broke into Kunlun. It was like entering an uninhabited land. The Kunlun disciples suffered heavy casualties and were almost annihilated. At the critical moment of life and death, it was Kunlun leader Yun Guizhen who opened the small secret realm and killed all the Kunlun disciples. After being sent in, they practiced in a small secret realm for ten years and did not see the light of day until recently.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in that small secret realm is abundant and extremely pure, which coincides with the Kunlun Kung Fu. Once absorbed, the Kunlun disciples can immediately transform it into the energy of the body, and use it freely, as if they have been sacrificed by others. The Kunlun disciples are in The cultivation progress inside is rapid. Over the past ten years, bottlenecks have been broken through one after another, and the cultivation level has been further improved.
Although the number of Kunlun disciples has become smaller, their overall strength has become stronger. Li Yuanmu believes that now that Kunlun has entered the world, he will be able to revive the prestige of the number one immortal sect and lead the world's immortal sects to attack their enemies and survive this catastrophe. , as the Taoist disciple of Kunlun, he will definitely have high hopes in this catastrophe, and he will live up to the expectations and shoulder the important responsibility.
With this idea in mind, Li Yuanmu was already gearing up and eager to give it a try.
Just after leaving the small secret realm, he found that Master Yungui had changed. He couldn't explain exactly what had changed. However, Master Yungui only allowed them to inquire about the news, but he did not let them act rashly. He said it was to avoid alerting the snake, and he revealed everything. He had to be cautious, and after leaving the small secret realm, Master Yungui was either in seclusion or alone. Except for Li Yuanmu, the Kunlun Daozi, no one else could easily see him, not even a group of elders. Master Yungui seemed to He deliberately kept a distance from everyone, which made Li Yuanmu even more puzzled.
As a Taoist disciple of Kunlun, although he had many opportunities to meet Master Yungui, Li Yuanmu would feel great pressure every time he met Master Yungui, and naturally he could not ask some questions. In addition, he was personally taught by the head of Kunlun. This fact often filled him with excitement and trepidation.
There is a small lake deep in the valley, and there is a small water island in the center of the lake. Master Yungui is standing there, with a detached temperament, as if he is isolated from the world, and has an air of being kept away from strangers. Li Yuanmu stops by the lake and holds the disciple's ceremony. .
"Meet the head master."
Master Yungui turned his back to Li Yuanmu and did not turn around, but the voice came.
"Yun Mu, your cultivation level has declined."
Li Yuanmu hurriedly said: "This disciple's cultivation has just broken through and is not yet stable, so..."
"The higher your cultivation level, the higher the requirements for your mental state. If you want to go further on this immortal road, your character is not enough."
Li Yuanmu shuddered and quickly closed his mouth and lowered his head in silence. His cultivation was not progressing but retreating. Just one sentence of unstable state was not enough to explain clearly. He understood this, and Master Yun Gui had naturally noticed it a long time ago. But to say that his state of mind was affected by Gu Chen's appearance, Li Yuanmu couldn't tell.
After being quiet for a while, Li Yuanmu sorted out his thoughts and recounted the results of his trip to Xuanguang City to inquire about the news. He also specifically explained the purpose of Ding Hui's visit.
"On behalf of Changsheng Island..." Master Yun Gui pondered for a long time, and then said, "Bring them in."
Li Yuanmu was a little surprised. Even if Ding Hui and the others represented the Changsheng Island, as three people, it would not be easy to meet Master Yungui. He thought that Master Yungui would leave the reception to a certain elder, but it looked like Master Yun Gui wanted to meet Ding Hui and others in person. He said "yes" but did not move.
"Anything else?"
Li Yuanmu hesitated and said: "Senior brother is back."
Waves of ripples suddenly appeared on the small lake, spreading out in circles, hitting the shore of the lake, and also hitting Li Yuanmu's heart. Li Yuanmu looked at Master Yun Gui in disbelief, and saw Master Yun Gui lightly. He waved his hand lightly and asked him to leave.
Li Yuanmu was stunned, but still bowed and stepped out.
The ripples on the lake gradually disappeared, and the water surface was as smooth as a mirror, with no waves at all. It was unnaturally calm, and there was a deliberateness in the secret.
"Dongyang, is that you?"
Ten years ago, Gu Chen abandoned his cultivation. Master Yungui saw this and asked Master Dongyang to send Gu Chen down the mountain. At that time, Master Dongyang left Kunlun for a while.
At that time, Gu Chen's meridians were all gone, his body was weak, and he was ignorant of the ways of the world and had no skills. Even if Master Dongyang placed Gu Chen properly, it would be difficult for Gu Chen to grow up safely, let alone with Master Dongyang's temperament. , If you don’t have a thorough understanding of worldly affairs, it’s naturally impossible to cover everything about Gu Chen’s arrangements.
In fact, Master Dongyang just sent Gu Chen far away to Qingmu Town in Liangzhou to keep him away from the right and wrong of Kunlun. To say that he placed Gu Chen properly, at most he took action when Xu You was about to kill Gu Chen. He blocked Xu You severely, but he didn't interfere even a little bit about how Gu Chen lived in the world, and completely let Gu Chen fend for himself.
But in the eyes of Master Yun Gui, the fact is not the case. Gu Chen's cultivation was completely ruined, which is what really happened in front of him. He saw it with his own eyes, and it was not false. Later, Kunlun was robbed and the Ghost Sect went south. The world was in chaos. With Gu Chen's physical condition, it was hard to say whether he could survive. But Gu Chen not only survived, but also made it here.
To be specifically mentioned by Li Yuanmu, Gu Chen must not be an ordinary person at this time. He must be outstanding enough to return to this immortal road to affect Li Yuanmu's state of mind, because Gu Chen was sent away ten years ago. After coming down from the mountain, Li Yuanmu was selected as the new generation of Taoist disciples in Kunlun. At that time, in order to promote Li Yuanmu to grow up faster, Master Yun Gui personally took action, seizing the fortune of heaven and earth, and turned Gu Chen's energy into Li Yuanmu's disaster.
As long as Gu Chen remains silent and never sets foot on this immortal path again, then Li Yuanmu can steal Gu Chen's opportunity to achieve immortality and make his cultivation level rise by leaps and bounds. However, once Gu Chen reaches the top, Li Yuanmu will be severely knocked down the mountain.
It is impossible for a person whose meridians have been destroyed to recover his cultivation for no reason and embark on this path of cultivating immortality again. Master Yun Gui suspected that Master Dongyang must have done something to Gu Chen ten years ago.
But whether Master Dongyang really did something, and what kind of manipulation, even Master Yungui couldn't figure it out. He has a headache now. Gu Chen is back, so can he see Gu Chen?
Li Yuanmu stepped back, turned around and saw Wei Xiaoxiao after walking a few steps. She was pacing back and forth, as if she was full of expectation and uneasiness.
Li Yuanmu was not in a good mood and walked forward.
Wei Xiaoxiao immediately came up to him and asked, "Senior Brother Li, is the leader going to see Senior Brother Gu?"
Li Yuanmu just said lightly: "Master Uncle Master asked Junior Brother Ding Hui and the others to go and pay their respects."
Wei Xiaoxiao was stunned and asked, "What about Senior Brother Gu?"
Li Yuanmu said: "The master's uncle didn't say anything."
After speaking, Li Yuanmu walked over directly.
"Senior brother..." Wei Xiaoxiao quickly followed and looked at the direction the two of them were going, which was the edge of the valley where Gu Chen and his party were.
Behind, a figure gradually turned from virtual to real, revealing Xu You's figure. He narrowed his eyes and murmured: "Senior Brother Gu? Gu Chen!?"
