The door of Longmen Inn has been closed. The wind and snow outside are getting bigger and bigger, but it is much quieter here.
When Wei Shenghua returned to the lobby from the kitchen, Mu Qing asked, "Can the old man's injury be cured?"
Wei Shenghua came to the table and sat down. "A spirit-containing pill can be taken three times and you will be cured. This is not a difficult problem. I also gave them a few pills to warm and nourish the body."
Wei Shenghua motioned for Ying Qing and the others to move over and sit on the benches. She looked at Mu Qing sideways and said, "You know what I'm concerned about, right? If we follow the route given by Elder He, we should be in the Western Mountain Realm now."
Mu Qing nodded and apologized: "This is indeed not the route given by Elder He. We will go straight north, cross the abyss, and reach the Xingjie Snowfield."
Everyone looked calm, obviously they had expected this.
Wei Shenghua looked at the apologetic expression on Mu Qing's face, shook her head and said, "Although I brought Ying Qing and the others out, since they chose to go with you, it is naturally up to you to make the decision. But if you have any plans, at this time You shouldn’t continue to hide it from us.”
Mu Qing nodded and said, "There was a caravan from the imperial dynasty that went to the Western Mountains and then disappeared. This caravan is related to me. I speculate that someone in the Western Mountains wants to take action against me."
"Because of Lin Wu?"
Zhe Qianqian asked from the side.
She witnessed Lin Wu's death and felt that it was indeed normal for the Lin family to take action against Mu Qing.
Mu Qing forced a smile: "Lin Wu is only a very small reason. Some of the details are related to the head of the Lin family."
Gu Yinghe thought thoughtfully, "The Lin family leader has successfully broken through. Those who had not dealt with him before were eager to bring him down, so they set their sights on you?"
"Yes." Mu Qing seemed extremely sincere: "If they can connect me with the divine Lord Meng Zhang, they have 10,000 ways to indirectly prove that the head of the Lin family colluded with Meng Zhang."
Wei Shenghua thought of her brother and sighed: "This kind of thing can indeed plunge people into a place of eternal destruction."
She then thought of another possibility and frowned: "They can't wait for the Lin family leader's position to become more stable. Even if you don't pass through the Western Mountains, they may take the initiative to attack."
Mu Qing smiled slightly: "So I want to take the initiative."
Ying Qing's eyes shone slightly: "Did you choose the battlefield here?"
"Yes." Mu Qing replied.
When the young people of Mu Qing's generation in the inn heard this, they felt a sense of expectation.
Mu Qing looked at Gu Yinghe, who nodded and said, "I missed one person on purpose and has already gone north."
Mu Qing nodded: "If Feng Xiaotian wants to be the boss here, he should also ask for help from the Gu family."
Wei Shenghua glanced at Gu Yinghe who had a calm face, frowned and said, "You are not just waiting for the Lin family. What if the Gu and Lin families join forces?"
Mu Qing said: "This is the most likely scenario. It is also the reason why I opened a battlefield here. Instead of being harassed by them constantly, it is better to give them a hard blow to let them know how to be afraid."
"Yes! That's how it should be!" Ying Qing agreed excitedly.
Wei Shenghua turned around and glared at Ying Qing fiercely, and asked hesitantly: "Who else is traveling with you?"
Mu Qing stretched out two fingers and said with a smile: "The reason why I chose Beihuang as the battlefield is because for them, this place is not much different from going home."
Wei Shenghua immediately understood, her tense expression relaxed a lot, and said: "They may be able to see that we are luring them to take action."
Mu Qing nodded: "So this is just the first level of plan."
"Oh? What is the second level?" Everyone was a little curious.
Mu Qing smiled slightly, took out a brand new map, unfolded it on the table, and said slowly: "This is the map of the Northern Territory that was perfected by Sister Qingyu and Qingyi together. It records the various events in the Northern Wilderness before the War of the Gods. Fang’s forces.”
"Wow, this is a real treasure map."
Hearing Mu Qing's introduction, Ying Qing and others came to the table and asked, "Are we going treasure hunting this time? Which broken space is our target?"
Mu Qing smiled slightly and pointed
Landing at the top of the map, "This is it, Shengyuan Mountain."
"Holy Abyss Mountain..."
Zhe Qianqian frowned slightly, wondering where she had heard it before. She raised her head and looked at Weishenghua, who smiled bitterly and said: "It is recorded in ancient books that Shengyuan Mountain is a pilgrimage place for sword cultivators all over the world. The Sword Alliance at that time was there. This is established."
The breathing around the table subconsciously became lighter. Mu Qing faced the looking eyes and nodded: "This is indeed the headquarters of the Sword Alliance. Before going to the current Sword Dao Holy Land, are you willing to go and take a look? In the former Holy Land of Swordsmanship, would you like to admire the grace of the Sword Master?"
Zhe Qianqian's eyes were sparkling, and she found that following Mu Qing, there seemed to be a steady stream of excitement to be found.
From Juye City to the north, the sky and the earth are white. The barren land is covered with snow, and the clear sky is obscured by lead clouds. The space between the snow and lead clouds is deprived of all outsiders who dare to intrude without permission.
A strong wind blew up, lifting the snow on the surface, revealing a stiff torso. The wind carried the snow hundreds of feet further, and the sun fell, cutting off the lead clouds and white snow like a curtain, and a plain full of vitality suddenly appeared. Between heaven and earth.
Fusong Plain, the core place of the ancient Beihuang family.
Gu Yingqiu wore a sacrificial robe outlined with gold and red threads, held a lamp, and walked among the black buildings with tall spires. He walked through the warm land enveloped by the dome formation, and calmly accepted the respect of his tribe. , disappearing in front of the rising black shadow in the northwest.
Wushan is the resting place for the souls of ancient people.
Gu Yingqiu walked into the cave, and a figure had already walked out of the blood pool, waiting for her.
"I thought you wouldn't come."
Gu Jingshui looked at her and said with a chuckle.
Gu Yingqiu frowned slightly and remained silent for a long time before saying, "I didn't think it through carefully. You can..."
Gu Jingshui interrupted: "We are facing him. No matter what we choose, there will be no comprehensive response. Big brother has received support, and I will accept the taboo baptism together with the four temple guards."
Gu Yingqiu shook his head and objected: "No! The forbidden baptism is presided over by Gu Yun. You know his methods. When he really puts down his disguise, you will not be able to resist. By then, you will only be five people controlled by him. puppet."
The expression on Gu Jingshui's face was a little ugly, but he persisted, "This is also an opportunity. The four selected temple guards are not fools. I will remind them and their trusted people to prepare in advance if something goes wrong. , can also react."
"These are the people you and Big Brother are going to unite with."
Gu Yingqiu said in a deep voice: "Think about it carefully. Although he did not stop the recasting of Xiao Yuan's body openly, why did he start the baptism ceremony at this moment that should only occur when the Gu family is in danger?"
Gu Jingshui replied: "His condition must be very bad."
"Yes." Gu Yingqiu said in a condensed voice: "That's why he won't let the five of you have a chance to resist. He will use your hands to achieve his goal."
Gu Jingshui smiled.
Gu Yingqiu frowned and then realized, "Is this the situation that Furukawa wants to happen?"
"Don't blame Big Brother." Gu Jingshui advised: "Rather than letting Gu Yun achieve his goal little by little, it is better to fight to the death before he attacks Xiao Yuan. This is our only chance."
"No, even if he attacks Xiao Yuan, we still have a chance." Gu Yingqiu said.
"..."
It was the first time Gu Jingshui heard such remarks and looked at her in shock.
Gu Yingqiu avoided his gaze and said, "Don't forget, Yinghe has already been recognized by the two great wizards."
Gu Jingshui smiled bitterly: "It turns out that you have already given up on eldest sister and Xiao Yuan."
"No." Gu Yingqiu said with firm eyes, "Even if there is a slight chance, I will try to save the eldest sister, but the eldest sister is already dead. She died as early as when Xiao Yuan was born."
"What about Xiao Yuan? You actually used him as bait?!" Gu Jingshui continued to question.
Gu Yingqiu raised her head and looked directly into Gu Jingshui's eyes, "Yinghe will forcefully lift the ban regardless of the backlash of the bloodline curse."
Sheng's strength went to stop Xiao Yuan, but how did Xiao Yuan do it? In order to pursue great power, he voluntarily chose to walk with the tiger. "
"Besides...this is also my choice."
It was quiet inside the cave.
Gu Jingshui opened his mouth, and then he realized that Gu Yingqiu had chosen him between him and Gu Yuan.
Gu Jingshui turned around and said slowly: "The quota has been determined. After the baptism, if you find that I am controlled by him, please act quickly and don't hesitate."
"At least, I still have a chance to choose." Gu Jingshui said happily.
Gu Yingqiu looked at Gu Jingshui's back with deep eyes. She quietly took a step forward, stretched out her hand, and was about to land on the back of Gu Jingshui's neck. Her movement suddenly froze in mid-air.
"Um?"
Gu Jingshui realized that the atmosphere was not right and turned around quickly.
Before Gu Yingqiu could take back his hand, he had already turned his head to look outside the cave, his eyebrows furrowed deeply: "He actually asked for help..."
Gu Jingshui took two steps back and asked, "Who is it?"
A moment ago, a figure emerged from the lead cloud, stopped outside the dome formation, and said loudly: "Great Elder Gu Yun, Lin Gang has come to pay his respects."
Lin Gang set out from the Western Mountains, and it took him a day to find this place. He came here with a request, and he made a good gesture. After waiting for a moment, a vigorous middle-aged man appeared in front of him, " But Elder Lin from Tiangang Peak?"
Lin Gang nodded and smiled, "Are you the head of the Gu family?"
Gu Tian nodded and led Lin Gang to a palace.
Lin Gang thought he would see Gu Yun soon, but when he saw that there was no one in the hall, he couldn't help but frown and said, "I came at an unlucky time. Is Grand Elder Gu Yun in retreat?"
Gu Tian looked a little tired, shook his head and said: "Just half an hour ago, there was a group of bounty hunters from Juye City who also asked to see the great elder. They said that there was a huge change in Juye City, and my Gu family related."
"oh?"
Lin Gang's eyes lit up and he stood quietly aside, waiting.
After a while, Lin Gang felt a sudden chill in the hall. He raised his head and saluted quickly, saying, "Great Elder, I have something to ask of you..."
Gu Yun, shrouded in a black robe, interrupted: "But because of Mu Qing?"
Lin Gang was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a little happy and said with a smile: "It seems that he has arrived in Juye City?"
"Um."
"Great Elder, I am willing to work with the Gu family to capture this son!"
