——You must enter the city before dark.
Before those monks left, they solemnly warned Gu Qingshan.
Gu Qingshan put away the letter and looked up at the sky.
Night is coming.
Gu Qingshan sped up his flying speed.
——There is still enough time, and there is no need to reveal the magical skill of shrinking to an inch.
He flew under the low gray clouds, through the cold wind, and passed over large tracts of ruined cities.
At a certain moment, the rain began to drip and gradually became torrential.
In the wilderness, large-scale ruins are bathed in rain.
Gu Qingshan observed for a while and found that these buildings were made of particularly strong materials, and some of the bricks and stones had special power fluctuations.
Perhaps it is because of this that after countless years of exposure to wind and sun, they still maintain the same state as when they were first destroyed.
But what exactly destroyed these cities?
A massive war?
natural disaster?
Or something else?
Gu Qingshan carefully observed the ruins.
Almost all the roofs were lifted off, and all kinds of scattered things were piled on the ground.
Things in some places seem more attractive, showing traces of artificial sorting and selection.
This must be the work of latecomers.
Time has passed so long that the entire scene has been destroyed by latecomers, and many traces of the past no longer exist.
In this situation, Gu Qingshan couldn't make a conclusion for the moment.
"Hello."
Suddenly, a voice sounded in his sea of consciousness.
Gu Qingshan was startled, stopped in mid-air, and asked: "Who?"
"it's me."
I saw a young man flying from far away.
Gu Qingshan looked at his appearance, then looked at the turtle shell behind him, and said in a voiceless voice: "Young Turtle! Why are you here!"
That's right, this young man is one of the four great beasts of Huangyun Tiangong, the spirit turtle.
Young Master Gui flew up to him and said, "Your master left in a hurry and forgot to tell you something, so I asked you to pass on a message."
"What's up?"
"We must enter the city before dark."
"Ah, I understand, but why is Master Turtle here?"
Mr. Gui said: "Before you finally obtained the twin swords of heaven and earth, all my missions have been completed. It just so happened that your master went to the primitive heaven again, so I followed her back to your world."
Gu Qingshan said: "Now you are following my master to help her overcome the disaster?"
"Exactly!" said Mr. Gui.
At this time, the rain was getting heavier, and there was water mist a few meters away. It was completely white and it was impossible to see anything clearly.
The sky got darker.
Turtle Master urged: "Let's talk as we walk, we can't delay any longer."
"good."
The two of them flew towards the Tianzhu City together.
"Should my master survive the tribulation of the King of Freedom or the tribulation of Mount Sumeru?" Gu Qingshan asked as he flew.
"Didn't you see her?" said the turtle.
Gu Qingshan explained: "No, she is a magic clone. I can't judge her strength."
"Oh, that's right, she's here to overcome the tribulation of Mount Xumi."
Linggui lowered his voice and continued: "Your master seems to have some unique circumstances. She insists on coming up to survive the tribulation of Mount Xumi this time. Her disciples and I can't persuade you."
Gu Qingshan was confused when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask: "Don't all monks want to survive the tribulation? If she wants to advance, she will naturally come up to survive the tribulation. Why are you stopping her?"
The spirit turtle glanced at him and said: "Your master refined a golden lotus into a golden light and merged it into the sea of consciousness. From then on, whenever she wanted to advance, she could just break through without going through a tribulation."
"You don't need to go through the tribulation, just advance directly?" Gu Qingshan thought he heard wrong and couldn't help but ask again.
The turtle nodded.
Gu Qingshan was shocked.
When Xie Daoling was born in the past, there was a golden lotus accompanying him, which took over the creation of heaven and earth. It was feared by the gods, and a vicious curse was placed on it.
Xie Guhong tried his best to seal her in ice crystals, and she slept until the curse dissipated and she woke up.
This is something Gu Qingshan knows.
——He knows that the master must be special and will be very powerful in the future.
But he never expected that the master would break through the realm now and not even need to survive the heavenly tribulation!
Gu Qingshan quickly asked: "Then what is the purpose of my master coming here to escape the tribulation?"
The spirit turtle sighed and said: "It's for the world of Shenwu - after all, there is no good Taoist technique in the world of Shenwu that can allow monks to practice to the realm of Ye Motian and above."
"Then how did my master-"
"She has some skills, but they seem to be only suitable for her own practice. That's why she came here. She wants to get some skills and secrets from monks in other worlds to bring back, so as to help all living beings in the world of gods and martial arts become stronger quickly."
Gu Qingshan couldn't help but nod.
At this time, a huge black shadow appeared in the rain and fog ahead.
The City of Tianzhu has finally arrived.
The two flew up the city wall and landed steadily.
The turtle breathed a sigh of relief.
Several other monks were already waiting here.
"Fortunately, you finally arrived before dark." One person said happily.
Several other people also nodded, seemingly letting go of their worries.
Gu Qingshan was a little surprised, clasped his fists and said: "Fellow Taoists, have you been standing here waiting for us?"
A male cultivator said: "Yes, the Tribulation of the King of Freedom is not an ordinary danger. If there are more people, I will feel more at ease."
The female cultivator next to him seemed to be his Taoist companion and echoed: "If the number of people is too small, I would rather retreat to a certain level and go back to practice again for hundreds of years."
A monk said: "Amitabha, according to the records of our world, if you want to successfully climb to the top of Mount Sumeru, the more people you have, the more likely you are to succeed."
Gu Qingshan looked at the expressions of the other people and saw that they also had expressions of approval, and he understood.
These people were waiting for him here to know if he had arrived safely.
- They're counting people.
Gu Qingshan asked tentatively: "Isn't the person who went through our storage bags one of them?"
I asked this mainly because I was afraid that everyone would find out in the future that Master was the one who did this, so I wanted to test everyone's reaction first.
Gu Qingshan can understand the Master's difficulties, and he will definitely be on the Master's side in this matter.
I saw those monks looking at me and me looking at you, all hesitant.
The thief didn't steal anything, he just looked through everyone's Taoist jade slips.
but……
"I've seen my jade slip of Taoist secrets," said a monk. "According to the remaining spell fluctuations on the jade slip, I found that the jade slip has been copied."
"Hmph, mine is the same. Someone copied it and stole my unique Taoist secrets. I swear to be incompatible with this person." One person snorted coldly.
Another person said: "It doesn't matter if you get some spiritual stones, but the Taoist secrets are the foundation of our monks. Since that person dares to steal my Taoist secrets, there is no way I can cooperate with him."
"right!"
"exactly!"
The monks all agreed, and the crowd was furious.
Gu Qingshan shook his head, looked at each other and prepared to leave.
At this time, a monk suddenly laughed and said proudly: "The Taoist formula I have is the most precious one in the sect. It takes time to understand it every day, so I have been on guard for a long time, but that person never succeeded."
"Oh? You didn't put the jade slips in the storage bag?" asked another monk.
The monk said: "Everyone, please take a look!"
Everyone went as he wished.
I saw layers of magic circle runes flashing out in the void above his head.
In the dense array, there is a jade slip floating back and forth alone.
The monk said: "With so many magic circles surrounding me, even if I want to take them out myself, it will take a lot of effort. It is even more impossible for the thief to take advantage of my unpreparedness and succeed at once."
"And as long as these magic formations are slightly affected, the jade slips will be immediately teleported back to our world and appear in the sect's Scripture Pavilion."
"So even if I die, there will be no problem with the Tao Jue Jade Slip."
The monk was somewhat proud and said with a smile: "This is a foolproof method. No matter how hard the thief tries, he will never be able to steal this secret from me."
After hearing this, the monks thought about it and found that there was nothing they could do.
"Well, that's a good idea."
"It's hidden in the void, protected by the magic circle, but I don't hold it. It's really a wonderful idea."
"Haha, that little thief must be deflated now."
"That thief deserves it for wasting his efforts. He got nothing from fellow Taoist. It's really satisfying."
The monks all laughed in admiration.
"Next time if I catch the thief, I must torture him to relieve my depression."
"Yes, that's exactly what it should be."
"Kill the man, kill the woman, hey, let her know how powerful we are."
"Exactly, hahaha."
Gu Qingshan listened quietly and narrowed his eyes.
you--
I can understand why I feel bad after Tao Jue was copied.
But you insulted my master in front of me...
Then...
"Master Turtle, let's go." Gu Qingshan said to the turtle.
"Ah good."
The two men moved and flew towards the city.
In less than a cup of tea, they had landed in the city, entered a palace, and came to Xie Daoling.
"Master, why have you become smaller?" Gu Qingshan asked in surprise.
Xie Daoling's real body naturally still looks like he is seven or eight years old.
"Well, it's just a spell. It's quite useful to me, so I haven't unlocked it yet." She said.
At this time, bursts of noise suddenly came from the city wall and spread throughout the city.
The spirit turtle couldn't help but said: "It's strange. They were fine when we just left. Why are they making trouble now?"
"Because of this." Gu Qingshan said calmly.
He held out his hand.
I saw a jade slip appearing in his hand.
Gu Qingshan's spiritual thoughts penetrated it and memorized the contents.
It is indeed a very good Taoist formula.
He gently tossed the jade slip and let it fly to Xie Daoling.
"Master, the Taoist formula on this jade slip seems to be unusual. I have something to do later and cannot return to the world of Shenwu. I would like to ask Master to bring it back to the sect." Gu Qingshan said.
Xie Daoling took the jade slip, glanced at it for a few times and then smiled.
"Yes, this recipe covers the five elements, secret arts, knives, swords, sticks, magical powers, etc. It is very useful in our world."
She put the jade slip away.
The spirit turtle kept staring at the jade slip, and he immediately recognized it as the person just now.
It couldn't help but ask: "Gu Qingshan, how did you get this jade slip?"
Gu Qingshan coughed lightly and said: "There are treasures in the universe, I can borrow them."
Xie Daoling's eyes suddenly lit up, he repeated it in a low voice, patted the chair and said: "This is a wonderful saying. The so-called Taoism comes from heaven and earth. Things in heaven and earth are naturally taken by those who are good at borrowing them, not from other people's hands, but from the hands of others. It comes from heaven and earth.”
"Yes, yes, what Master said is true!" Gu Qingshan praised.
The turtle looked at Xie Daoling and then at Gu Qingshan.
——Both the master and the apprentice had special skills in stealing things, and they also spoke in a pompous manner.
By the way, isn't Baihua Sect the inherited sect of Huangyun Tiangong?
This is a prestigious family that has been passed down for thousands of years!
It's fair and square!
"I believe you ghosts," Linggui sighed secretly in his heart and said bleakly, "You Baihua Sect masters and disciples are really bad."
