When the woman in white heard this, her expression turned cold and she said in a cold voice, "Young master, are you teasing me?"
"How dare you, how dare you. But I don't know how long I've been unconscious for. I'm a little tired from walking all the way. It's really hard for me to ask you to climb a mountain now. Why don't you let me take a rest first." Guo Jia said truthfully. .
"How can that be done? The elders are waiting for you." The girl in white was confused.
"I guess I was saved by your villagers. Although I am very grateful to you and want to clarify the situation with your village cadres, I have to let me take a breath." Guo Jia said helplessly.
The woman in white showed some hesitation, but finally said resolutely: "If men and women are not intimate, I can't carry you away."
Before Guo Jia could reply, the woman in white appeared behind Guo Jia as quickly as lightning, grabbed the clothes on his back, lifted Guo Jia up, and then said to herself: "This should be enough." No more skin-to-skin contact.”
The woman carried Guo Jia and ran up the mountain with vigorous steps. It didn't take long before she reached the top of the mountain. Guo Jia saw that her face was not red, her heart was not beating, and her breathing was still stable. She couldn't help but ask: "Are you a person with physical development abilities?" ?”
"Why do you keep saying things that people can't understand?" the woman in white frowned slightly.
"I mean, how can you, a girl, be so strong, carry a grown man up the mountain and walk so fast, and you look so relaxed?" Guo Jia explained.
"I have been practicing martial arts with my master since I was a child. Now that I am quite old, it is not surprising that I can do this." The woman in white said expressionlessly, but Guo Jia could tell that the woman in white was very interested in this. pride.
"I'm leaving first. The elders are in this courtyard." After the girl in white said that, she went down the mountain alone.
Guo Jia glanced a few more times in the direction of the woman in white going down the mountain, then turned and walked to the door of the courtyard behind her. There was a plaque in front of the door with four bright silver small seal characters engraved on it: Penglai Immortal Residence
Although Guo Jia didn't know Xiaozhuan very well, he probably knew what these four characters meant. He held his chin and nodded, wondering in his heart: They say land in the countryside is cheap. Sure enough, if such a big yard is built in the city, At least several hundred million.
As soon as Guo Jia walked through the door, he immediately stopped and couldn't help but sigh to himself: Oh my goodness!
The layout of the courtyard is quite hierarchical, with pavilions, terraces, buildings, and pavilions all available. The grass is filled with exotic flowers and grasses, and the cobblestone paths stretch to various areas. It can be described as a beautiful scenery.
Guo Jia wandered around the outer courtyard but saw no one. Presumably the elders lived in the inner courtyard, and the inner and outer courtyards were separated by a pool of water. There was a stone bridge built over the pool, and there was a bridge for people to rest in the middle of the ancient bridge. As long as you cross this stone bridge, you can reach the inner courtyard. It does look a bit like a place where immortals live, and it is indeed worthy of the name Penglai Immortal Palace.
However, he did not have the leisure and grace to enjoy the scenery now. The woman in white repeatedly warned him to meet the village elders early and personally carry him up the mountain. He was too embarrassed to delay any more and quickly walked across the stone bridge. Came to the inner court. There are four courtyards in the inner courtyard. The courtyard in the center is the largest and looks most like a village committee.
Guo Jia decided to take a look at the courtyard first. The door to the courtyard was a double sliding wooden door. Just as Guo Jia was about to knock on the door, the door opened on its own. Three old men with gray hair and boyish faces sat on wooden chairs in the hall and looked at him. These three All the old men were dressed in white robes, and each of them had an immortal demeanor and refined temperament, which made people awe-inspiring.
Guo Jia saw that none of them spoke, so he had to speak first: "Well, hello, my name is Guo Jia. Are you the village cadre here? Can you tell me where this place is?"
The three elders had no intention of answering him, and just looked at him without saying a word. After a long time, the long-bearded old man sitting on the left seat sneered and said loudly: "Guo Xiaoren, are you planning to hide in this kid's sea of consciousness and not come out, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Jia suddenly rolled his eyes and fell to the ground. Then he quickly got up from the ground. His whole temperament changed drastically. "Guo Jia" clasped his fists with both hands and made a gesture to the three elders. Dali, neither humble nor arrogant, said: "Junior Guo Xiaoren, I have met three elders."
"Now, we have three questions to ask you, and you must answer them honestly. The first question is, where is the saint now?" The bald old man sitting in the middle said breathlessly.
"Great Elder, please help her..." "Guo Jia" hesitated to speak.
At this moment, the black-faced old man sitting on the right side suddenly stood up and cursed: "You ungrateful thing, my Penglai clan has always treated you very well. If you want to leave, why don't you?" You instigated the Saint to leave with you, leaving the Xuan Ni Formation without anyone to care for it for more than ten years! If we hadn't awakened the old gods in advance, you would have killed hundreds of people in the cave!"
"Everyone in Penglai Dongtian really treats me well. I have nothing to say, but it is impossible for me to stay here all my life. No one can control my freedom." "Guo Jia" responded forcefully.
"Then why did you take away the saint?" the bald elder said.
"Wan'er and I fell in love. After I told her that I wanted to go, she offered to go with me. She left the spatial coordinates on the formation plate of the Xuan Ni Formation and planned to come back to take care of it every once in a while. Who would have thought that there would be an accident later?" "Guo Jia" replied.
"What accident?" the three elders asked at the same time.
"Wan'er and I were plotted eighteen years ago. Although I brought our second son out of danger, I was seriously injured and died soon. I used the soul separation technique taught to me by the second elder to remove a few remaining souls. She has been clinging to this child's body to survive. As for Wan'er, she chose to commit suicide in order not to expose the existence of Dongtian." "Guo Jia" murmured sadly.
"That's nonsense!" After hearing what "Guo Jia" said, the black-faced old man sitting on the right rushed up, grabbed "Guo Jia" by the collar, and said in a trembling voice: "Unless she wants to die, who can harm her? Did you kill her? I think you harmed her relying on her trust in you!"
"Guo Jia" slapped the black-faced old man's hand away and said with red eyes: "Third Elder, even if you are Wan'er's uncle, I can't tolerate you slandering me with such words! I, Guo Xiaoren, love the most in my life. It’s Bai Wan, what reason do I have to harm her!”
"Then tell me, how did she die!" the third elder said excitedly, and the other two elders also looked sullen, waiting for Guo Xiaoren to give them an explanation.
"The three of them have lived in Penglai for a long time and know little about the outside world. People on the mainland invented a drug that can suppress the sea of consciousness, which can make people with superpowers unable to use superpowers for a period of time. Bai Wan was born because he took a drug containing Only food with this kind of medicinal ingredients can..." "Guo Jia" said with a sad look on his face.
"Guo Xiaoren, isn't your omniscience and omnipotence able to calculate everything? Why didn't you stop the saint from eating something bad!" The long-bearded old man interrupted.
"Omniscient and omnipotent is not omnipotent. I can't know other people's thoughts, nor can I predict the future. I was separated by people from the Super Power Association at that time! Who would have thought that, phew! (Speaking of this, Guo Jia, who was possessed by Guo Xiaoren, became emotional I took a few breaths) I'm sorry for Wan'er." "Guo Jia" choked with sobs.
The three elders were silent.
After a few breaths, the bald old man sitting in the middle asked: "Is this child your second son? What about the Holy Son? Is he also dead?"
"Bai Jing is not dead, he was taken away by the mastermind behind the scenes." "Guo Jia" replied.
"Who is the mastermind behind this?" the bald old man asked.
"The three elders may be familiar with this person's name." "Guo Jia" replied.
"The three of us have never left Penglai, how could we know anyone in the outside world?" the long-bearded old man said.
"I wonder if the three elders have any impression of the name Bai Ruo." "Guo Jia" said.
"Bai Ruo?" The long-bearded old man chewed repeatedly. He seemed to have some impression of the name but couldn't remember it for a while. However, the expression of the bald old man sitting in the middle changed drastically and he asked "Guo Jia": " Are you talking about the demon girl Bai Ruo who was imprisoned in the Sea of Illusion by the elders of the previous generation 12,000 years ago?"
"Not bad." "Guo Jia" replied.
After the bald old man reminded him, the other two elders immediately remembered this person and couldn't help but gasped.
The bald old man sighed and said regretfully: "It seems that the old immortal's guess is true, and the Xuanfei Formation was not able to trap the witch to death."
"Guo Jia" saw this and continued: "One day in Penglai Cave is equal to half an hour in the outside world. Bai Ruo swam out of the Sea of Illusion ten thousand years ago. Counting the days, she has stayed on the mainland for more than four hundred years. Come on. She has been developing her power on land these years, and she will definitely come back to cause trouble for you when the time is right."
"What do you mean by this?" the bald old man said with a solemn expression.
"She has been trapped in the Sea of Illusion for more than two thousand years. May I ask? How much resentment is required for a person to swim out of the boundless Sea of Illusion? Have you ever thought about it?" "Guo Jia" said.
Guo Xiaoren's statement made the three elders present shudder.
"Guo Jia" felt happy when she saw this, and continued: "Bai Ruo's power on the land is still expanding, and many powerful people with powers have gathered under her command. If you elders can trust me, you might as well If this child is teleported back to the mainland, I will definitely find a way to stop Bai Ruo."
"Hahaha~" The long-bearded old man burst out laughing.
"Guo Xiaoren, you are still as eloquent as ever! After all, you just don't want your son to live in the cave, right." The long-bearded old man pointed out.
"Second Elder, everything I said is true." Guo Jia frowned.
"I don't care whether what you said is true or not, the old god has told you that he will not let you leave until he wakes up next time." The second elder sneered.
"How long will the old god be in deep sleep this time?" "Guo Jia" said with a stiff expression.
"It won't last long this time, only two armies of time, but I'm afraid your remnant soul won't be able to survive that time." The second elder said sarcastically.
"Guo Jia's" face became increasingly ugly. If he hadn't known about the strength of these three elders, he would have borrowed Guo Jia's body to run away. Now he can only swallow his anger.
"Guo Xiaoren, although you have some issues with us, it has nothing to do with this child. After all, he is also the child of a saint. We will not embarrass him. Just like we did to you before, we will give him the treatment of an outsider as usual. Three preferential treatment conditions. But in order to prevent you from talking nonsense about this child, we have to seal you first." The great elder said sternly.
Upon hearing this, "Guo Jia" turned around and wanted to run away, but saw the two old men chanting a few bitter and incomprehensible spells, and the door closed on its own.
