In one thought, the whole world became a still picture. The picture showed a city that had experienced a catastrophe, and faces that were either sad, numb, tired, or depressed.
And Gu Xu is the only dynamic figure in this picture.
He seemed to have become an actor, singing a one-man show on the stage, and the whole world was his background.
As soon as "Time" took effect, he then used "Qiankun" to tear apart the space and teleport a few meters away, leaving the scope of the "Liuhe Immortal Formation".
Although after breaking through to the fourth realm, his true energy became much richer than before, but using "Time" and "Qiankun" continuously, the consumption rate is still extremely terrifying.
After leaving the "Liuhe Immortal Formation", he restored his connection with "Xianyunju".
With a thought in his mind, he took out the "astrolabe" and began to use the stars to calculate the direction and build a space channel.
His destination was Qingyao Mountain northwest of Luojing.
Since his cultivation level has not reached the realm of a saint, and the "astrology chart" in his hand is incomplete, the distance of the space channel he constructed is limited, and he can only travel within a range of more than a hundred miles.
The reason why we chose Qingyao Mountain is because it is an area with intertwined valleys, connected peaks, dense forests, and complex terrain, making it easier to hide.
After that, he could consider escaping to the northwest frontier, to the territory of the northwest barbarians, or he could consider escaping all the way north to Youzhou.
He remembered that a moment ago, Zhao Yan said to him: "You are a Qi minister and I am a rebel. The next time we meet, it will probably be on the battlefield."
Gu Xu couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face.
Now the two of them have returned to the same place by different routes, and both have become rebels in the eyes of the Qi court.
It can be said that things are unpredictable and fate is unpredictable.
As black ripples rippled in the air, the entrance to the space passage soon appeared in front of Gu Xu.
He looked back at the messy city one last time, and then stepped into the space passage.
After his figure completely disappeared, time finally resumed its flow.
The commander of the Imperial Guard, Wang Guanyu, and the silver-armored monks he led also regained their ability to move.
They stared at the place where Gu Xu disappeared, unable to believe their eyes for a moment——
How could a living person disappear in the blink of an eye?
Also, Gu Xu is obviously only a fourth-level monk, and his true energy has been sealed. Why can he break through the restrictions of the "Liuhe Immortal Sealing Formation"?
Wang Guanyu really couldn't understand.
At this moment, he only felt that his heart was cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Gu Xu is the imperial prisoner named by the emperor to be arrested.
Now the prisoner ran away in front of him.
Although the emperor spent most of his time practicing in seclusion and ignoring political affairs.
But if the emperor finds out about this, he becomes furious and wants to severely punish himself for his dereliction of duty... the consequences will be disastrous.
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered his silver-armored monks to go to all directions in Luojing City to surround Gu Xu.
…………
at the same time.
Gu Xu walked out of the space passage and came to the foot of Qingyao Mountain.
At this time, it is the bright spring season, and the foot of the mountain is full of redbud flowers, which look colorful from a distance.
Because with his current cultivation level, he was unable to continuously construct space passages in a short period of time, so he walked straight towards the deepest and gloomiest place in the mountain forest, intending to find a hidden place to hide and restore some true energy before continuing to run. road.
Gu Xu knew that his escape was a bold gamble.
What he was betting on was not only his ability to escape, but also the attitude of Luochuan, the head of the Exorcist Department, towards him.
He felt that in today's turmoil in Luojing City, Luo Sishou should have played a very important and subtle role - he and Emperor Tianxing were not on the same front, but had other thoughts. .
Luo Sishou's secret deduction technique claims to be able to calculate everything in the world.
If he was really a loyal minister who shared the king's worries and planned to follow Emperor Tianxing's order to arrest him, then Gu Xu would be like a snail in an earthen pot - doomed.
But if Luo Sishou really has some other thoughts... then Gu Xu's escape will not be smooth sailing, but it will definitely be a lot easier.
While Gu Xu was thinking this, he came to the edge of the cliff, took off the jade pendant that recorded the image from his belt, and took out his official uniform, official hat, official seal, "divine machine token", etc. from "Xianyunju" items and throw them all into the deep ravine under the cliff.
Although he found no traces of tracking spells on these things, just in case, he chose to discard these items related to the Da Qi court to prevent anyone from using them to deduce his whereabouts.
Watching these items falling into the abyss one after another, Gu Xu felt mixed emotions in his heart.
After all, they witnessed his struggle after traveling to this world, and witnessed his gradual growth from an inconspicuous petty official to the youngest sixth-rank official in the Daqi Dynasty, a non-hereditary viscount, and a guest lecturer at Longmen Academy.
I thought that after today's "Luoshui Conference", he would gain glory and rise to the top, then marry his beautiful wife and reach the pinnacle of his life under the spotlight.
However, all of this came to nothing because of a sudden order from Emperor Tianxing.
The past few months have been like a dream.
After throwing away these things that used to symbolize status and honor, but now became fetters, Gu Xu used his skills, turned around and walked quickly in the opposite direction.
Like a ghost, he walked through the dense woods, all the way around to the other side of the mountain, and then got into a narrow cave behind the bushes.
He took out a few talismans from "Xianyunju" and placed a ban at the entrance of the cave to conceal his presence and whereabouts. Then he sat down cross-legged in the cave, took out an "Barrier Breaking Pill" and prepared to stuff it into his mouth. Here, enter the state of practice.
"Obstacle-Breaking Pill" is similar in function to "Jingxin Pill" and "Eternal Brightness Pill". It is a pill used by fourth-level monks to stabilize their mind and prevent the erosion of Yin Qi during their practice.
With Gu Xu's character of always pursuing "preparedness", he had already used his spare merits to exchange many bottles of "obstacle-breaking pills" at the Exorcist Department before breaking through.
It just comes in handy now.
He planned to build a space channel again after his true energy was restored, and travel to Daimei Mountain further north.
However, before the elixir could enter, he heard the rustling of leaves coming from outside the cave.
Immediately afterwards, with a dazzling golden light, the magic circle outside the cave instantly fell into pieces and lost its effectiveness.
"The people from the imperial court caught up so quickly."
While Gu Xu was thinking, he used "Qiankun" without hesitation and teleported three short distances in a row to the dense forest outside the cave that blocked the sky and the sun.
At this time, he was extremely tired, his true energy was almost exhausted, and he could no longer use the fourth "Qiankun".
But he still held on, borrowing the power of the "astrolabe" to fly through the forest at the speed of stalking the wind. m..
"He is worthy of being the leader of this year's Luoshui Conference. Even when he is running away, he is much more chic and handsome than his fellow monks." At this moment, a familiar voice came from beside Gu Xu.
Hearing this voice, Gu Xu immediately stopped.
Because he knew that even if he tried his best, he could not get rid of this person's tracking.
"Mr. He," Gu Xu sighed and said with a wry smile, "This junior is now at the end of his rope, so you should stop teasing me like this."
The person who came to hunt him turned out to be He Yiqun, the junior disciple of the Imperial Master of Da Qi, Master Fu Dao, and guest minister of exorcism.
Because He Yiqun awakened the magical power of "shrinking the earth into an inch" when he was promoted to the third level, he was able to travel hundreds of miles in an instant - not only was the activation speed faster than Gu Xu's space channel, but it also consumed much less real energy.
Being targeted by this person, it would be difficult for Gu Xu to escape even if he was full of true energy.
It’s just that Gu Xu can’t understand——
Hasn’t this Mr. He always been a bohemian and free-spirited person who likes to travel around and not even listen to the advice of the Imperial Master?
Why did you suddenly have a sudden impulse to come here to hunt for yourself today?
As if aware of the confusion in Gu Xu's eyes, He Yiqun smiled and replied: "I was originally not interested in such boring things as catching fugitives. But when someone told me that although this fugitive was only a fourth-level cultivator, However, I was able to get rid of the "Liuhe Immortal Formation" of the Imperial Guards, so I became a little curious about this fugitive.
“Now it seems that the trip was indeed worthwhile.
"It's just that I'm wondering about one thing: Why did the famous proud son of the Daqi Dynasty and the leader of this 'Luoshui Conference' suddenly turn into a fugitive who committed treason?"
"I also want to know why." Gu Xu spread his hands and said helplessly.
At the same time, he complained in his heart: The curiosity of Lezi people is really poisonous.
After a brief silence, Gu Xu continued to ask: "Since this junior has satisfied Mr. He's curiosity, can Mr. He also satisfy this junior's little curiosity for the sake of this junior's already unable to escape?" ?”
"If you have any questions, just ask." He Yiqun said with a smile.
His expression was relaxed and relaxed, as if he was not worried that Gu Xu would escape from his grasp. At the same time, he was also looking forward to how Gu Xu would perform in this desperate situation.
"I want to know how Mr. He tracked my location?" Gu Xu asked, "Did he rely on Luo Sishou's secret deduction technique?"
He Yiqun chuckled and said: "Shou Luo had a fight with Zhao Changying and the Mangshan Ghost King in the palace today. He was seriously injured and is still in a coma. How can he have the strength to deduce your whereabouts?
"I was able to find you successfully because of the method of Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoning."
"Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoning?" Gu Xu frowned slightly.
He Yiqun's answer was somewhat beyond his expectation.
At the same time, the news about Luo Sishou also made Gu Xu think a lot.
He knew that before Luo Jing's city was destroyed today, some unknown agreement had been reached between Luo Sishou and the Mangshan Ghost King.
Under such circumstances, it is worth pondering that Luo Sishou was "seriously injured and fell into a coma". _&
