The man with messy human hair and beard under the mask was bleeding from the corner of his mouth. He stared at Lin Ji with fixed eyes and said incredulously: "This... this is the Taiyi Sword Formation! You, how did you... poof!"
Before he could finish his words, he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"Master Gu Hong, you are bringing humiliation upon yourself!" Lin Ji stopped and shouted suddenly.
Taiyi Sect is proud of Jiuzhou and claims to be the best sect in the world.
In addition to the large number of disciples and outstanding disciples all over the world, the most proud thing is that under the Taoist ancestor Xuan Xiao, there are three other great Taoists!
Gu, Luo and Jing are flying together, and everyone knows that their fame spreads throughout the world?
Back then, when Lin Ji first ascended to Taiyi, Gu Hong did not favor his disciple Xu Dingtian, but instead had some advice for Lin Ji Shu.
How great is the Taoist respect for the elders?
At that time, there was a demon chaos in Yangzhou, and Gu Hong came alone, transformed the North Pole, gathered seven stars, and wounded the demon king with a sword from afar.
How majestic is the leader of the human race?
Now, Lin Ji broke the spell with just one thought, revealing his true appearance and hurting his soul.
How embarrassing is it for a monster to jump off the beam? !
The corners of Master Gu Hong's mouth trembled slightly, and the expression on his face changed several times in an extremely unnatural manner, and suddenly he roared angrily: "Winning or losing depends on God, why should we be ashamed?! My son, do you know that I have been practicing Taoism for more than 800 years. But Seeing that there is no way ahead, how hopeless it will be if there is no way out!"
"Your boy is a child of luck. He has been blessed by heaven and has achieved his destiny. In just a few years, he broke through the realm and entered the Tao! He also emerged from the sky and achieved Taoism not far away. The gods are watching, but what about me?!"
"Although Taiyi is big, it is just a dry mountain and beautiful water. How can it compare with the prosperity of the world? A high-ranking person is just a duckweed in the water. How can it compare with the fireworks in the world!"
"Do you know how many mistakes I made in order to practice Taoism?"
"Back then, my literary skills shocked the world, and I topped the list of the number one scholar. The sword roared across the nine states, and the world bowed to me! I was once hailed as an unparalleled genius, unique to all generations!"
"I have a wealth of millions, mountains of gold and silver that will last for centuries! I have countless beauties, and I can travel in the woods and boats with endless romance! I have hundreds of millions of fans, and I am as respected as the Immortal Emperor everywhere!"
"But in the end, I gave up all these things, worshiped Taiyi and devoted myself to cultivating Taoism for eight hundred and sixty-four years! I never had a day off, and half a day off! I faced mountains and rivers every day, and worked hard to follow the Tao! But what happened in the end?"
"All of this will turn into ashes and become nothing! The entire eight hundred years of hard work will be in vain. Who can have a calm mind and see nothing? If there is a good opportunity, who can not take it? Even if you die a hundred times and live a lifetime, there will be no hope. How about it? Just go back in time and let me choose again. If I still do this, I will die!"
Master Gu Hong seemed to pour out the words he had been holding in his heart for more than eight hundred years, completely ignoring the blood flowing out. His face, which was originally as pale as paper, became more and more rosy.
Lin Ji smiled coldly and said: "I really didn't expect that the dignified Supreme Taoist Master would still have other thoughts before his mortal heart is dead! It seems that with a master like you, it is not surprising that Xu Dingtian was deceived and went astray! "
"That's why he's stupid!"
When mentioning his apprentice Xu Dingtian, Master Gu Hong not only did not feel any regret at all, he even snorted disdainfully and said: "Although Song Cang created his own rhyme with the Dream Breaking Realm, his three reincarnations have only entered Taoism! If Xu Dingtian is willing to practice hard with peace of mind, why should he worry about becoming a Taoist with the foundation of Ether One? Speaking of which, he was also forced by you!"
"At first, Xu Dingtian was not deeply disturbed by the dream and could still control himself. But after he had a bet with you in person, his pride was frustrated and he was obsessed with quick success. Only then was he gradually invaded by the nightmare technique, and he embarked on a path of no return. of!"
"Oh?" Lin Jiqi said: "So, you have known for a long time that Xu Dingtian is on the wrong track, but you have been pretending not to know?"
"good!"
Now that things have happened, Master Gu Hong has nothing to shirk. He said bluntly: "Then Song Cang has taken a fancy to Xu Dingtian's body and wants to use him as the cauldron for reincarnation. And I also want to use this to see what he is doing in the Palace of Eternal Life. What a reputation! Even Master Feng, the ancestor of Taiyi, joined the Eternal Life Palace after several reincarnations. It must be beneficial and profitable. So..."
"So, you pretended not to know. You abandoned your apprentice Xu Dingtian as a line and have been spying in secret?" Lin Ji continued.
Master Gu Hong smiled slightly and did not answer directly. He pointed at his feet and said, "Lin Tianguan, do you know where this place is?"
Lin Ji was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "It has something to do with the Palace of Eternal Life? Could it be that... this is the main altar of the Palace of Eternal Life?"
"Lin Tianguan is really smart!" A slight smile appeared on Master Gu Hong's face, and then he said: "However, you are only half right!"
"As early as a thousand years ago, when Qin Ye founded the country, the biggest enemy in the world was none other than Si Wuming! At that time, Si Wuming took the years as his guide and was extremely powerful for a while. Just like later, he had great influence on the destiny of the world in the Nine Provinces Dragon Vein It is inevitable that he will win! If Qin Ye confronts him head-on, he may not gain any advantage."
"Bai Luochuan was deceived by Qin Ye to go to the far north. After killing Qiu Rujun, he was severely injured and refused to join forces again. When Qin Ye had no choice but to do anything, Mr. Lan broke out, so... Qin Ye borrowed Mr. Lan With his hand, Si Wuming was seriously injured."
"After being seriously injured, Si Wuming fled for more than three hundred years. It was not until Mr. Lan disappeared for no reason that he dared to reappear. Unfortunately, at that time, Qin Ye had already ruled the country for many years and borrowed the power of the Nine Provinces. The power has long been far greater than before. Si Wuming secretly knew that he was no match, so he broke into the Dao Formation Sect alone, hoping to borrow a treasure to cause trouble for Qin Ye."
"But the Dao Formation Sect never gets involved in worldly battles, so it's not allowed. Si Wuming was so angry that he forced his way through the mountain gate. However, the original Dao Formation Sect ancestor sacrificed his life and trapped him in the Jiuli Sealing Heaven Formation. This trap caused another It’s more than three hundred years!”
"After Si Wuming escaped again, his cultivation level dropped drastically. While recuperating in secret, he started to rebuild the Palace of Eternal Life. You also know what happened next, Lin Tianguan, didn't you give him a helping hand?"
"Si Wuming escaped from death twice, and both of them were on the verge of death and achieved Taoism. This is where he is hiding!" Master Gu Hong said, and then nodded at the tower under his feet that was shrouded in the abyss. The giant stone Buddha statue and the dilapidated small temple directly on top of the Buddha's head.
"Don't you want to know why the three of me deceived the descendants of the Xiao family to come here? I will explain it to you now!"
"The place where Si Wuming is hiding now was originally an ancient ruins. Back then, ferocious elephants soared into the sky, and not a single blade of grass could grow in a radius of thousands of miles. Later, it was sealed by three wise men." Master Gu Hong pointed to the giant Buddha at his feet. : "The eminent monk from the Buddhist sect, long before the Buddha Tathagata of the Western Land, no longer knew the name of the Dharma, but before he became a monk, he left a bloodline in the world."
"Xiao family?" Lin Ji said in shock.
Master Gu Hong nodded and said: "Exactly!" Then he pointed to the giant sword-wielding statue lying in the misty clouds in the sky: "The Furious God of the Far North has always been passed down with blood. This Master Ao is the successor to the envoy of the Furious God. !”
When Lin Ji heard this, he turned around and looked at the skinny old man who was seriously injured and the scabby monk who had been buried in the dust like a stone sculpture. He asked in surprise: "What about you?"
