Xie Daoling held the jade slip and looked at it carefully.
A quarter of an hour later.
She said to Gu Qingshan: "This is the Hall of Incense. According to ancient rules, all monks who are preparing to climb the Tianzhu must burn incense here for a day before they can climb the Tianzhu and go to Mount Sumeru."
Gu Qingshan asked: "The Tianzhu has been broken and the world of Tianzhu has become completely desolate. Master still abides by the ancient etiquette?"
"Well, I'm going to meditate here for a night and start climbing the Tianzhu tomorrow."
After Xie Daoling finished speaking, he summoned the spirit turtle.
She handed the jade slip to Ling Gui and said: "Old rules, return it."
Gu Qingshan asked: "Master, have you remembered it?"
Xie Daoling nodded and said: "There are ninety-four problems with the exercises here, one thousand and eighty-nine places that can be improved, and sixty-one places that are ambiguous. I have marked them all and made corresponding improvements. They are considered useful. Give them a thank you gift."
Gu Qingshan asked again: "Master has done this for every monk's Taoist secrets before?"
"Yes, after all, there is no grievance. I use their things and give them a little guidance to help them avoid detours. This way, we don't owe each other anything. It's best."
Gu Qingshan sighed in admiration, but suddenly thought of those people's scoldings just now, and finally restrained himself in his heart.
The spirit turtle took the jade slip and disappeared instantly.
There were two masters and apprentices left in the hall.
Gu Qingshan thought for a while and asked: "Master, can you really make breakthroughs and advance without going through tribulation?"
Xie Daoling nodded.
"I don't know why this is the case," she said slowly, "but since I refined the golden lotus, my understanding of practice is much better than before. I can understand the meaning of many things at a glance, and occasionally some pictures will flash in my mind. "
"What picture?" Gu Qingshan asked.
Xie Daoling looked a little confused and whispered: "I can't tell. Sometimes it's a creature I've never seen before, sometimes it's a scene of world destruction, and there are many unfamiliar faces and words."
"Or is it a dream? Can you see the monks from ancient times?" Gu Qingshan asked.
This question arises because Gu Qingshan once entered Xie Daoling's dream when he was searching for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Sword.
In order to prevent the time island where the Heavenly Sword was forged from being discovered, the Immortal King hid the last jade dish in Xie Daoling's dream.
Xie Daoling thought for a while and said: "No, if I were a monk, I would definitely be able to find out something, but the things and scenes I dreamed about are things I have never seen in my life."
The two looked at each other.
Xie Daoling waved his hand and arranged several enchantment formations, and then asked quietly: "I have taught you all my skills, have you ever learned Buzhou Shanjuan?"
"I have learned it," Gu Qingshan admitted, "that skill can transform a shadow."
"Yes, it's that shadow. I've seen it in flashes of images." Xie Daoling said.
Gu Qingshan was stunned.
He remembered that presence.
It was an extremely huge humanoid monster, with a vaguely human face, but a long snake body - or maybe it wasn't a snake body, but a dragon?
Xie Daoling added: "After I found out about this, I went to look at the jade slips where I practiced this method back then, trying to find the origin of this existence. Unfortunately, there was no such magical skill on the jade slips of martial arts, not a word on it."
For some reason, Gu Qingshan felt chills running down his spine and couldn't help but ask: "Did you remember it wrong? It wasn't that jade slip, but some other jade slip."
"Won't."
Xie Daoling lowered his eyes and said quietly: "It wasn't until I went to look at the jade slip again that I remembered that I had deduced the Buzhou Mountain Break by myself."
Gu Qingshan was stunned.
Xie Daoling continued: "I was nineteen years old that year, not long after the sect was destroyed, and I was living alone. One day, I killed a martial artist with ill intentions and obtained a martial arts technique from him. I think As I watched, I came up with this magical skill. I was also scared at the time, and I knew there must be something wrong, so I sealed this memory. It wasn’t until I took the initiative to look for this memory again that I finally found it. Tell me the truth."
Gu Qingshan managed to maintain his composure and asked: "Master, what about Wangchuan?"
"It's also a skill that I introduced myself, or 'enlightened'." Xie Daoling admitted.
"when?"
"twenty one years old."
Gu Qingshan took a breath of cold air.
He has seen too many things in his life, but he has never even heard of people like Xie Daoling.
Xie Daoling continued: "Compared with the phantom manifested by Buzhou Shanduan, the ferryman on the Wangchuan River is a being that can be communicated with. Every time we fight, she always asks me how much life I have devoted, so I asked her later. what is going on."
Gu Qingshan immediately asked: "What did she say?"
"She never said anything to me. It was only once that she couldn't get enough of me, so she sighed and said I was pitiful."
Gu Qingshan's heart was about to jump out of his chest.
In fact, this sentence has always been stuck in his heart and has never been forgotten.
Back in the world of giant corpses, Earth Sword and the monster he tried his best to kill also said the same thing to himself.
It says it is pitiful.
Pitiful?
Why pitiful?
A deep fear gripped Gu Qingshan's heart tightly.
He stood up suddenly and paced back and forth in the hall.
"Disciple, what's wrong with you?" Xie Daoling asked.
Gu Qingshan forced a smile and said: "It's okay, I was wondering who the ferryman on the Wangchuan River was."
——The underworld fragmented world ruled by evil ghosts should not have such a number one god.
She is too powerful, and the evil ghost path may not be able to deal with her.
Therefore, she must belong to an unknown world of underworld fragments.
Why did she say that Xie Daoling was pitiful?
What does she know?
Is there any connection between Master's matter and his encounter with that monster?
Gu Qingshan felt like his head was about to explode.
Xie Daoling frowned and said: "I have made several hexagrams, trying to figure out how to contact these things in dreams."
"What's the result?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"The results all point to this time of the Sumeru Mountain Tribulation - you know, I didn't have to go through this calamity originally, but since I can get some information when overcoming the calamity, and it can help our world accumulate Taoist secrets, I will come ”
Gu Qingshan paused.
It seems that this time I have to go all out.
This is Xie Daoling's business, and it may also be his own business.
Xie Daoling continued: "Since the Tianzhu broke, the Zizi Heavenly Tribulation and the Sumeru Mountain Tribulation have become more dangerous. I actually have no confidence in my heart, and you must not be careless, Qingshan."
"Well, I'll go out for a walk in a while and look around." Gu Qingshan said.
"Well, this is not a place that can be easily reached. Only those who have overcome the tribulation can reach it. Look around, maybe you will find something."
Xie Daoling's tone suddenly became brisk and said: "When can you return to the sect? Xiuxiu and the others miss you very much."
Gu Qingshan said: "I've been very busy recently. I'll go back to see them when I'm done."
He suddenly remembered something and immediately asked: "Master, are you in the realm of the Free Heavenly King now?"
"Yes." Xie Daoling said.
Gu Qingshan asked carefully: "It is said that the King of Freedom has forty-eight dependents. What is the matter with these forty-eight dependents?"
Xie Daoling said "Oh", got down from the chair, walked to Gu Qingshan with his hands behind his back.
She stretched out her hand——
But Gu Qingshan is too tall. With her current height, she can't reach Gu Qingshan's forehead.
Xie Daoling glared at him and said, "Lower your head."
Gu Qingshan lowered his head.
Xie Daoling tapped his eyebrows with her fingers, then turned around and walked back, climbed onto the chair and sat down.
