Then Gu Xu looked further north and saw armored troops gathering at the border of Youzhou, their swords flashing with cold light, and the sound of drums resounding through the sky.
He saw many people in the north enshrining shrines to the "God of Fire" in their houses. The statue of the god had a blurry face, and the beautiful "Phoenix Girl" stood beside it with her wings spread out. Women held candles in their hands, knelt in front of the shrine, and prayed devoutly for their husbands who were going to war.
He saw Zhao Changqi, the younger brother of Yan Guogong Zhao Changying, the general of the auxiliary state, standing in front of a huge map, deep in thought. The shadow blocked his face, making it impossible to see through his thoughts. His son Zhao Yu was wearing a shiny silver armor, standing beside him with his head held high, his eyes revealing a very similar rebelliousness to Zhao Yan.
Gu Xu looked to the east again and saw that the mountain gate of Penglai Island was more depressed than expected. Some disciples were still practicing hard, while some had completely given up on themselves.
He saw many monsters lurking in the bottomless East Sea, quietly watching the passing ships.
He saw that the East China Sea had an end - the water gathered in one place, rushed off the cliff, and fell into an abyss that could not be seen to the bottom, forming a majestic waterfall thousands of feet high.
This is the boundary of the East China Sea and the edge of the world. The hazy "Hunyuan Qi" floats around the waterfall, blocking his sight and preventing him from seeing farther away.
It is described in the book that the time and space in the "Hunyuan Qi" are chaotic. If you are lucky enough, you can use it to travel to the past or the future. Perhaps because of this, when Gu Xu's eyes fell on the "Hunyuan Qi", he felt a little dizzy. It seemed that countless messy pictures poured into his mind instantly, impacting his mind.
Then, Gu Xu looked to the west and saw the Sichuan sword pavilion standing on the mountain. Young disciples were practicing swordsmanship in pairs in the peach blossom forest all over the mountains and plains. When the sword rose and fell, the cold light flickered and falling flowers were flying.
He saw Lingshan Temple located in a deep valley. All the monks closed their eyes and meditated in the room, motionless like sculptures. Only the abbot of the temple, Master Jueming, stood in front of a mural and murmured something. The content of the mural is the legendary hell. The sky is an airtight cage, and countless dead souls are shackled and suffering from the blazing fire in the cage.
He saw the distant junction of heaven and earth, where the Kunlun Mountains ranged from mountain to mountain - according to legend, there was a road leading to the fairyland on the top of the mountain that towered into the sky.
The top of the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, and he had no way of knowing whether the path to the immortal world really existed. But he saw that in an open space more than a hundred miles away from Kunlun Mountain, more than a dozen monks directed a large number of civilians to transport huge stones carved with complex patterns and arrange them in a specific order. Put it here.
Driven by curiosity, Gu Xu tried to stretch out his spiritual tentacles, hoping to explore the hidden laws. But at this moment, there seemed to be a substantial gaze falling on him, making him feel a terrifying pressure. There was a strong stinging sensation in his eyes, making him shed tears uncontrollably.
Finally, Gu Xu's eyes returned to the location of Luo Jing City.
He saw the Ghost King of Mangshan and Zhao Changying, Duke of Yan, walking into the gate of the imperial city along Tianjie; he saw black smoke rising from all directions in the city, and the Yin Qi and Dragon Qi colliding violently, stirring up waves of whirlwinds; he saw the tall and majestic A gap appeared in the city wall of Luojing, and ghosts such as "Qiongqi", "Ba Snake" and "猰貐" poured into it one after another and began to hunt unscrupulously; he saw the crowd screaming and pushing, like a rapid torrent. ,It's a mess……
In this chaotic city, Gu Xu keenly captured Shi Xiaohan's figure.
She was following a one-armed man, walking quickly along a narrow alley toward the outskirts of the city.
Perhaps it was because she had seen terrible things in the secret realm, or perhaps because the changes in Luo Jing City had shattered the sense of security in her heart. Her face was a little pale at the moment, and she was biting her lips lightly, looking terrified.
Gu Xu knew that this one-armed man was Hu Yun, the academy teacher who was responsible for teaching Shi Xiaohan's sword skills in Longmen Academy and was known as the "Undefeated Sword God".
Although Shi Xiaohan often complained to him in letters, Hu Jiaoxi was a madman with a strange temper. Not only did he often assign devil training to her, but he also liked to be eccentric and picky and would never praise her.
But Gu Xu could see from her actual actions that she still had great trust in her teacher - she seemed to believe that Teacher Hu could protect herself in this disaster, so she kept her head lowered and followed Hu After the lesson, he didn't look up at the road at all, let alone use his brain to think about where he would take himself.
only.
When Gu Xu stood on the "Wangxiang Terrace" and looked at the world from an almost God's perspective, he always felt that something was wrong with this "Invincible Sword God".
This person had normal breathing and normal heartbeat, but he felt inexplicably lifeless and lifeless.
Soon, Hu Yun led Shi Xiaohan, turned a few corners, and walked into a remote and dilapidated alley - this place was far away from the center of the city and far away from the crowd. The screams, noises, and howling ghosts and wolf howls when disasters happened, seemed like nothing. Exists in another world.
When he reached the end of the alley, Hu Yun suddenly stopped.
He took out his saber out of thin air and tapped it twice on the ground.
Suddenly, countless chaotic and hazy rays of light appeared on the uneven bluestone pavement, and then these rays of light were connected together to outline complex patterns.
This is undoubtedly a pre-arranged formation.
But it does not exist in the books Gu Xu has read. Therefore, Gu Xu didn't know its name or its function.
However, when his eyes fell on the formations, he felt as if the formations had turned into a turbulent whirlpool, seeming to draw his soul into it.
Intuition told Gu Xu that this formation was very dangerous.
"Go in," he heard Hu Jiaoxi pointing at the formation and saying to Shi Xiaohan, "This formation can transport you out of Luojing City and to a safe place."
Shi Xiaohan still stood there, hesitating.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she raised her head and said to Hu Jiaoxi in a pleading tone: "Mr. Hu, can you do me a favor?"
"What do you want me to do?" Hu Yun's voice sounded impatient.
"I...my fiancé Gu Xu should still be over there in Luohe," Shi Xiaohan carefully considered his words, "Mr. Hu, you...you have a high level of cultivation, can you rescue him too?"
Shi Xiaohan grew up under the love of her family and lived a pampered life. She rarely had the experience of asking for help, so her words sounded a bit clumsy.
What a silly girl. Gu Xu couldn't help but sigh silently. It was clear that the danger was right in front of her, but she didn't realize it at all. Instead, she was still thinking about her fiancé.
"He doesn't need me to save him," Hu Yun said in a cold tone. "With the saint taking care of him, he is safer than any of us. You should worry more about yourself."
Shi Xiaohan said "hmm" softly, then followed Hu Yun's instructions and slowly walked into the formation in front.
Gu Xu noticed that on the back of her white neck, a dark red mark shone faintly. From a distance, it looked like it was smeared with blood.
Relying on the knowledge he had learned from books before, Gu Xu knew that this mark was a type of writing called "bird seal script", which was once popular in the Chu Dynasty. Its strokes had the shape of flying birds and were more artistic than ordinary seal script. Often carved on magic vessels.
"Chu."
Gu Xu recognized the meaning of this text.
The moment he recognized it, his mind was immediately filled with worry - he thought of the "Ghost King of Mangshan", the "ghost attendants", and its desire for revenge.
"Xiaohan, it's dangerous there! Don't go in!"
Seeing Shi Xiaohan's back gradually blurring in the light of the formation, Gu Xu could hardly help shouting to her.
Then he realized that he was still in the process of cultivation and still standing on the "Wangxiang Terrace", so it was impossible for Shi Xiaohan to hear his voice.
…
"Have you seen everything?" At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him.
Gu Xu turned around and saw the white-haired boy who looked exactly like him.
His long hair was loose, like flowing starlight; his eyes were deep, as if hiding a vast starry sky.
However, the difference from the last time is that this time there is one less nail on his body, and it is not nailed to the "Sansheng Stone", but to the railing of the "Wangxiang Terrace".
There was a faint smile on his face, and he seemed not to feel the pain of the wound at all.
Gu Xu nodded.
"In this meeting, I have to help you pull out another nail, right?" He said bluntly, "Which one should I pull out?"
"Don't be so anxious, Gu Xu, I still have many things that I plan to talk to you about seriously," the white-haired boy smiled slightly, his tone sounded very relaxed, but after catching a glimpse of Gu Xu's slightly cold eyes, he He immediately changed his mind and said, "Okay, I understand how you feel. Your fiancée was kidnapped by the Ghost King of Mangshan's 'ghost attendant'. You must be eager to break through and rescue her as soon as possible."
"It's good if you know." Gu Xu said calmly.
The white-haired boy's words confirmed his suspicion: Hu Yun, the "Invincible Sword God", was indeed the "Ghost Attendant" of the Ghost King of Mang Mountain.
"How does it feel to use the 'Astrolabe'?" the white-haired boy asked again. His tone sounded like a salesperson asking customers about their experience using the product.
"That thing is incomplete and cannot be used for the time being." Gu Xu replied.
"Actually, you have already used it." The white-haired boy said mysteriously.
"Have you used it?" Gu Xu frowned slightly.
"You just stood on this 'Wangxiang Tower', didn't you use its power to see the entire wild world?"
"It turns out that this is the power of the 'Astrolabe'," Gu Xu said thoughtfully, "I thought I was just looking at the world from the 'Wangxiang Terrace'."
"It would be okay if every monk could see everything in the world from the 'Wangxiang Terrace'," the white-haired boy said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth, "In fact, they can only see their own bonds in the world, and they can only see themselves. thoughts and memories.
"One of the functions of the 'astrolabe' is to use the stars in the sky to correspond to all corners of the world. In this way, we can use the changes in the stars in the sky to know what is happening on the earth.
"Luochuan's 'Tiana Deduction Technique' also relies on this.
"Of course, what you just said is right, the 'astrolabe' in your hand is indeed incomplete.
"The reason why you can see the vastness of the wilderness from this 'Wangxiang Tower' is because I used my own power to temporarily complete its function. But when you return to the real world, you will no longer be able to do it. this matter."
"Then what do I need to do?" Gu Xu could hear something in the white-haired boy's words.
"The 'Astrolabe' has five parts: 'Three Walls', 'Eastern Blue Dragon Elephant', 'Southern Vermilion Bird Elephant', 'Western White Tiger Elephant' and 'Northern Xuanwu Elephant'," the white-haired boy replied, " But now, the 'Astrolabe' in your hand only has the central 'Three Walls' and the 'Southern Vermilion Bird Elephant'. The remaining three parts are all lost in a corner of the wilderness, and you need to find them back. Make the 'horoscope' whole again.
"Although the incomplete 'Astrolabe' is already a powerful enough magic weapon, with your wisdom, you should be able to discover its use quickly.
"It can help you fly, help you divination, help you cast spells, help you calculate...
“But it doesn’t deserve you.
"If the starry sky above your head is your territory, then the complete 'astral chart' is a symbol of your power."
"Where should I find them in such a huge wilderness?" Gu Xu asked, "It's like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"The power of cause and effect is hidden in the 'astrolabe'," the white-haired boy said. "Even if its fragments are lost, they will only be lost in a specific location.
"For example, the 'Northern Xuanwu Elephant' must be located in the north of the wilderness. You can just go north to look for it."
Saying it means not saying it. Gu Xu silently complained in his heart.
"Okay, since you can't wait to save your fiancée, I won't talk to you anymore today. Luochuan will probably tell you many stories about us in the future," the white-haired boy chuckled, " You should have already figured out that the formation your fiancée is in will suck her soul and erase her self-awareness. If you arrive too late, she will be turned into the Ghost King of Mangshan's 'Ghost Attendant' .
"Haha, a 'demon body' like hers is a good skin that the Ghost King of Mangshan has been coveting for a long time."
The white-haired boy's words successfully aroused the anger in Gu Xu's heart. If it weren't for the huge difference in strength, Gu Xu would have immediately burned the ghost king of Mangshan who dared to flirt with Shi Xiaohan to ashes.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It turns out that Xiaohan is a 'demon body'. No wonder she has such a terrifying appetite and has the terrifying brute force of an ancient ferocious beast..."
"Come on, Gu Xu, come and help me pull out this nail on my right leg," the white-haired boy continued to say, "The authority it seals is called 'Qiankun'. You should need it very much now..."
