Many years later, when the young Hong Tieniu left Nanzhao Province and became a powerful monk in his own right, he would always think of this day when the raging fire burned across the mountains.
He saw that the high-spirited practitioners in the Medicine King Sect in the past had suddenly become weak and powerless mortals; he saw those handymen with long whips, who had lost their backers and became helpless; he saw that they were once arrogant. Sect Master Peng was retreating steadily under the attack of the mysterious young man who called himself "Xiao Changshou".
He couldn't help but wonder, could Senior Xiao be a god sent by the upper world to come to the human world to save the people from dire straits?
At this moment, Gu Xu had already used the "Firefly Flame" to break through the Yaowang Sect's protective formation, and then controlled the sky full of flames, forcing Master Peng to retreat steadily.
Although Peng Baohui, the head of the Medicine King Sect, has entered the fifth realm, his foundation is not stable, and his skill points are basically devoted to alchemy, and he does not have much experience in combat methods.
In addition, the skills he practiced were very ordinary, and he had almost no understanding of the true meaning of the great road.
Compared with those young prodigies of the same realm in Luo Jing City, they are like the sky and the earth.
After the sect-protecting formation was destroyed, he almost lost the ability to resist.
Gu Xu controlled the flames and built a cage, trapping him inside easily.
However, at this moment, gray-white fog rose again in Gu Xu's vision, and the surrounding scenery gradually became blurred.
"This time the "Hunyuan Qi" came so quickly. ” he thought secretly.
The emergence of Hunyuan Qi means that he will soon leave this era under the control of the "Return to Ruins" rule. It also means that he will resolve the matters here as soon as possible.
He gently waved the "Jinghong Pen", and the white snow all over the mountains and plains disappeared in an instant, turning into a sparkling frost, lying quietly in the palm of his hand.
It looks crystal clear and dreamlike.
But in the eyes of the people around him, it has a destructive power, which makes people feel fear involuntarily.
After all, it completely brings together the power of "Wan Lai Empty Silence".
Then, Gu Xu pointed the tip of his pen at the leader Peng who was dodging in front of him.
This grain of ice moved at lightning speed towards the location of Master Peng, penetrated into his flesh and blood, and merged into his meridians.
In an instant, as if the cold winter had suddenly arrived and the temperature dropped sharply, the true energy in Master Peng's meridians stopped flowing and condensed, like a frozen stream in winter.
The spell he was casting in the middle of reciting the spell came to an abrupt end.
Then, with Gu Xu's thoughts, these frozen essences cracked, shattered, and died bit by bit.
Leader Peng watched helplessly as his true energy fell rapidly like an avalanche. He quickly fell off the threshold of the fifth realm, then fell to the fourth realm, the third realm, the second realm, the first realm...
Since Master Peng's cultivation level is relatively high, it is difficult for Gu Xu to completely turn him into a mortal like others - to make him fall to the first level is already his limit.
At this time, Gu Xu came to the side of Hong Tieniu, a young man who was in a daze.
"I'm leaving here," he said calmly. "From now on, your freedom will still have to depend on yourselves."
Having said this, he paused and took out dozens of "Fire Flame True Talisman" from "Xianyun Residence".
"These talismans have been improved by me. There is no need to recite incantations. You only need to pour real energy into them before they can be used. They may be able to help you."
Hong Tieniu took the gift and looked down at it.
I saw that the talisman patterns on the paper were complicated and mysterious, and the crisscrossing lines were like snakes squirming, like horned dragons circling, and they contained the aura of power.
It was like an invisible whirlpool, locking his attention firmly on the paper and unable to extricate himself.
He couldn't help but have a thought in his mind: If I could completely understand the principle of this talisman, could I become as powerful as Senior Xiao?
At the same time, Gu Xu's figure gradually turned translucent
It looks like a cloud in the air, invisible and fleeting.
"By the way, the name 'Xiao Gong' is not a good one," Gu Xu smiled and continued, "If you like having a Taoist name, I suggest you change it."
"Change the road number?"
Hearing this, Hong Tieniu was in a daze for a moment.
He saw the raging flames shining like a flood under the scorching sun, raging on the top of the mountain like a flood. Thick smoke rose, like dark bats, billowing up and down in the flames. The scorched trees fell to the ground, like bones on the ground.
Faintly, he understood that everything in the past had really passed.
A new life was already beckoning to him.
"Then... let me call you "Chiyangzi". "Hong Tieniu thought for a moment and said, his eyes shining against the fire.
"Aka Yangko..."
Gu Xu silently recited these three words, his expression suddenly became a little complicated.
At the moment he was about to leave, he saw Hong Tieniu holding a talisman and rushing towards Elder Wu, the enemy who killed his father; he saw the farmers in the medicine field picking up hoes and swinging them at the supervisors who were beside them; he saw Peng Peng The leader was surrounded by a group of angry villagers...
Then, the thick gray-white fog enveloped him again.
…………
This time traveling through time and space, Gu Xu still did not return to "Guixu", but came to a strange place again.
It was dark at this time.
Gu Xu was in a high and winding mountain.
The peaks are covered with snow, and the tops are covered with snow all year round, shimmering under the stars.
At the foot of the mountain is an endless wilderness with sparse vegetation and few people.
Before he could fully see his surroundings, a cultivator descended from the sky and came to him with a flying sword.
This person is wearing a bright red robe, decorated with exquisite patterns, and leather boots. He looks solemn and noble.
The man in red robe was seen with his hands clasped in his fists, his hands touching the ground, his attitude extremely respectful, and he said to him: "Sir... Your Majesty, you are finally here."
Gu Xu frowned.
These words obviously meant that the other party had known that he would come here and had been waiting for him here.
He couldn't help but think to himself: How terrifying is this man in red robe - or rather, the man who sent the man in red robe here, that he can actually know his existence across time and space?
"What year is it now?" he asked after a moment of silence.
The man in red robe humbly responded: "It is now the third year of the Yuan Dynasty."
The third year of Yuanshi?
Gu Xu thought about it again and again, but couldn't remember which emperor in the Daqi Dynasty or the previous Dachu Dynasty had the title of "Yuanshi".
Could it be that he traveled to the future this time?
"What is the relationship between this Emperor Yuanshi and Emperor Tianxing?" Gu Xu then asked, "Is he a descendant of Emperor Tianxing?"
Hearing Gu Xu's words, the man in red robe seemed to want to laugh, but he restrained himself and tried hard to remain serious and not laugh out loud, so that his expression looked particularly distorted.
"No, sir," he shook his head, "I am the sage monarch who killed the foolish emperor Tian Xing and restored peace to the world."
