The old seal was broken, the weirdness and darkness dissipated, and the culvert revealed its true appearance.
After the turmoil subsided, a stone tablet actually appeared in front of everyone. It was filled with an indescribable atmosphere of vicissitudes of life, and people couldn't help but immerse themselves in it to understand the eternal past.
"It's true... it's really the past monument! The past monument is really here!!" Gu Xingzhou muttered to himself in a daze at first, and then almost roared, regardless of his body, which was like a candle in the wind, his eyes were red, With a crazy look on his face, he climbed towards the stone tablet to chase the dream that was originally out of reach.
Distance has never been a real obstacle. Only time that cannot be returned is the thing that can isolate everything.
"Brother Gu, Gu! Slow down! Be careful of fraud!" Xu Yue gritted his teeth and shouted. He wanted to grab Gu Xingzhou to keep him away, but when he raised his hand, he realized that he had been seriously injured and couldn't move at all. .
[Great Shift of the Universe] not only moved the power of the four towns to the barrier, but also moved all the bones in his body out of position. At this time, the physical body was in chaos and the spiritual power was withered. If not treated in time, it would be very dangerous.
"Xin Ling! Go quickly!" In a hurry, Xu Yue could only ask Huang Nu, who was still in good condition, to stop Gu Xingzhou, while he quickly closed his eyes and began to recover from his injuries.
At this moment, a beautiful figure hurriedly ran to Xu Yue, squatted down and pressed his forehead with both hands. The blue spirit shone to help him heal his injuries.
"Yan'er, are you okay?" Xu Yue opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at Lan Ruyan through the hazy blue light, and asked softly.
"It hurts a bit." Hearing this, Lan Ru curled up his cigarette holder, his big eyes filled with tears, which made Xu Yue startled, then he smiled and shook his head, finally letting go of his worries.
The familiar Lan Ruyan is finally back. On the side, Duan Mutian glanced at the two of us, and walked silently to a distance. After calming down, he began to observe the crystals scattered on both sides of the road.
They are very strange, the shape is very beautiful, and the inside of the crystal is also blooming with light, which is like a dream and makes people intoxicated.
Even if you stretch out your hand to touch it, you will only feel a flickering spiritual light, which is like a living thing, soft and smooth, and extremely magical.
"These things..." Duan Mutian frowned and retracted his hand, confused in his heart. He felt like he had seen this thing somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.
On the other side, Gu Xingzhou crawled on his hands and feet and finally approached the simple stone tablet.
"Wait a minute." Huang Nu stepped forward to block him, her thin face was serious, and she said in a deep voice: "This monument is weird, so be careful."
"I know! I know everything!" But Gu Xingzhou seemed to be unable to listen to any words at this time. The closer he got to the stone monument, the more intense his longing for Xu Shui became, and finally turned into rolling tears, bursting out of his eyes.
He was left alone in this world hundreds of millions of years later. All his relatives, friends, and even enemies had turned into dust countless years ago, leaving him alone.
But now, after so many years of hard work, his efforts are finally coming to fruition. How can he calm down!
Now Gu Xingzhou is even worried, afraid, afraid that if he touches the past monument a second later, it will go away with the wind due to some accident, causing him to miss the only opportunity to go home.
"I have to go back... no... even just take a look! Xin Ling... get out of the way and let me pass!" Gu Xingzhou dragged his injured body, crying and begging, while limping away Come.
Seeing the appearance of his former eldest brother, Xin Ling's iron-hard heart was trembling slightly. His gray eyes were fluorescent, and he finally glanced away. He moved his body slightly and chose to give in.
The next moment, Gu Xingzhou, a man who did not belong to this world, finally got close to the monument of the past as he wished, hugged it, soaked the surface of the monument with hot tears, and began to cry uncontrollably.
"Father! Mother! Ling'er! Children! And Master...Junior Brother He...Little Junior Sister...I...are back..." The cries were earth-shattering, extremely sad, and depressing.
The stone tablet began to vibrate slightly, the spiritual light shone, and the mysterious power flooded everything there, covering Gu Xingzhou's eyes, making his mind gradually calm, and the tears on his face dried up unconsciously.
Wow! When he opened his eyes again, the broad and bright underground square in front of him was no longer there. Instead, there was a river rushing high in the sky, coming from the sky and pouring into the vast sea!
"This, this is!" Gu Xingzhou's eyes widened, and then the look in his eyes became brighter and brighter. His cheeks also showed a smile he had never seen before, and tears rolled down again!
"Xushui! I'm back! Hahahahahaha!" Gu Xingzhou opened his arms and shouted, shouting as much as he wanted.
This is an eternal longing, an encounter that transcends time and space, and he actually did it!
"Xingzhou, what are you shouting for? Why aren't you going to perform your mission?" A tall and thin old man stepped out of the water, came to Gu Xingzhou and shouted sternly.
"Master..." Gu Xingzhou rubbed his eyes, and after making sure that he had seen correctly, he trembled forward slightly, wanting to give the old man a hug.
"Nonsense!" Sure enough, the old man with a violent temper pushed Gu Xingzhou away with one palm, flicked his sleeves, and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing! I have important things to do as a teacher today. You go quickly. Wrong!" After the old man said that, he walked away directly, leaving Gu Xingzhou still there with a smile on his face, feeling extremely happy in his heart.
"Husband, what are you laughing at?" At this time, a gentle voice came from behind. Gu Xingzhou hurriedly turned around and saw his gentle and flowery wife holding a child of several years old with a smile as bright as a flower.
"Ling'er...child!" Gu Xingzhou was excited and was about to move forward to reunite with his wife and children, but the woman called Ling'er took a step back and said with a smile: "Okay, husband, today I will take the child to the mortal world." You Xuan, you go and finish the affairs within the sect quickly, and don’t worry about us.”
"Hey! Ling'er!" Gu Xingzhou was startled, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand, trying to retain him, but found that the other party retreated very quickly, and almost disappeared from the horizon in the blink of an eye, without a trace.
"Xingzhou, what are you looking for?" A voice came from the sky again. A middle-aged couple came hand in hand. They looked very similar to the ancient Xingzhou.
"Father, mother..." Gu Xingzhou murmured, but before he could say another word, the middle-aged man among them smiled and said: "Don't be lazy, the future of my Gu family depends entirely on you! Today is Father has to go to the meeting, so you can take care of yourself."
"Xingzhou, remember to eat." The woman also smiled, which made Gu Xingzhou's heart feel like a knife and he was in great pain.
"Hey, senior brother, why are you crying here?"
"Uncle Gu, teach me how to practice this technique!"
"Senior brother, I am going to participate in the sect's internal competition. Can I go with me?"
"Humph, Gu Xingzhou... I lost to you last time and lost the position of genius. You will never be so lucky next time!" Familiar or somewhat forgotten voices kept coming from around, and figures kept flashing by. , but Gu Xingzhou slowly knelt on the spot, crying silently, and looking at everything around him blankly.
Is this true or false?
"Brother Gu!" Until a somewhat different and extremely vague voice came from the distant sky, Gu Xingzhou looked up numbly and seemed to see Xu Yue's face flashing past.
call out! The next moment, an invisible thread of cause and effect broke into this place, quickly tied up Gu Xingzhou, and pulled him out of this place with a strong tug.
Everything around him collapsed quickly, the sky changed color, the figures disappeared, the water of the void dried up, and there was nothing left.
Some are just a glowing stone tablet, the light covering an area like a ball of light, making a slight noise.
The ancient boat is in the center of the light group.
"Brother Gu!" This time, Xu Yue's cry was much clearer. Gu Xingzhou suddenly turned around and saw Xu Yue trying his best to reach out to him outside the light group, looking anxious and heartbroken.
However, it was too late. Because the moment he heard the sound, Gu Xingzhou finally realized his current state.
His body had turned into nothingness at some point, and the fire of his soul had been extinguished. All that was left now was the remnant of his soul.
The longing for Xu Shui eventually became his fatal weakness, like a sword, nailing him here.
And the stone tablet in front of us is no longer as complete and pristine as it was when we first saw it. At this time, there is a crack as long as an arm, like a monster's mouth, which is blooming with a devouring spiritual light, swallowing bit by bit. Close to everything it has to offer.
Everything is clear, Xu Shui is fake, and the past monument is also fake. Just as Xu Yue worried, this place is indeed a trap, but this trap is so well hidden that he does not hesitate to use the previous culvert as a bedding. , just to give everyone this final fatal blow.
"Alas." Looking at his body disappearing little by little, Gu Xingzhou let out an unfinished sigh, as if he was recalling the short but real time in Xu Shui just now.
"I can't go back at all..." Then, he smiled bitterly, shook his head, slowly raised his illusory hands, and made seals.
"Get up..." Bang! In an instant, water vapor shot up from Gu Xingzhou's body. The thick mist even covered the mysterious light of the stone tablet and filled the entire underground square.
As soon as the water vapor appeared, the stone tablet began to tremble violently, and seemed to become extremely excited. The crack on the surface of the tablet became larger and larger, and strong suction continued to emanate from the inside, absorbing the water vapor, and letting the mysterious light in the crack More and more prosperous.
It seems that it has been dormant for a long time and needs this power to restore itself! In response, Gu Xingzhou ignored the stone tablet and just used his remaining power to continue making secrets.
"Mingxu Fengdun..." Gu Xingzhou whispered, like the murmur of a dying person, almost inaudible. Gulu... part of the water vapor in the square suddenly gathered together, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a human-sized bubble. It was illusory and transparent, but full of the power of time and seal. As soon as people got closer, they would feel dizzy and want to Sleep peacefully.
This was the life-saving method mentioned by Gu Xingzhou at the beginning. In critical moments, he would construct several blisters to protect and seal Xu Yue and others. As long as they were not under a fatal attack that destroyed everything instantly, he could take them with him. Go back in time and return to your previous state and position!
However, once this move is used, it also heralds the decline of Gu Xingzhou. After just a blister, his remaining soul has disappeared a lot, and it is on the verge of collapse.
"Brother Gu! Don't give up!" Xu Yue in the distance tried desperately to stop him, and even rushed into the light sphere of the stone monument at a certain moment. However, as soon as he came into contact, half of his body was immediately defeated. Lan Ruyan was so frightened that he hurriedly He pulled me back, crying and saying nothing to let him come forward.
"Yan'er... let me save him..." Xu Yue cried. He wanted to take Gu Xingzhou away, but he didn't want to escape alone. After all, that was his elder brother Gu who was also his teacher and friend!
"No... no..." But Lan Ruyan would not agree. At this time, she shook her head with tears streaming down her face, and even used force to force Xu Yue to the spot.
Gulu... After a while, the second bubble formed, accompanied by the roar of the stone tablet. It seems to have discovered that the condensation of water bubbles consumes a lot of water vapor, and it is competing with itself for this rare nutrient!
Then, something strange happened again. The crack on the surface of the stone tablet began to move, opening and closing like a greedy giant mouth, swallowing the surrounding water vapor, and the two began to compete!
"Mingxu... Feng Dun..." Gu Xingzhou's voice became weaker and weaker, all because of a wisp of soul condensed between his eyebrows, and the remnant soul that was about to dissipate was still struggling to hold on.
When the third bubble formed, the water vapor in the entire square had almost dissipated. Only the light group area of the stone tablet still had some, but it was very little.
"Condensation..." Finally, when the fourth bubble was barely condensed, the remaining water vapor dissipated.
"How could this be so..." Gu Xingzhou murmured, slowly putting down his hands that were holding the seal, looking at the four blisters around him, feeling extremely heartbroken.
Blisters, only four. Outside, there were five people. Originally, the bubbles were enough no matter what, but when he was dying, his strength was greatly reduced, and coupled with the competition for the stone tablet, he was unable to condense the fifth bubble!
In an instant, endless guilt filled Gu Xingzhou's heart. This emotion quickly overwhelmed everything else, and even made his longing for and attachment to Xu Shui fade a lot.
"I'm sorry... Now that my body is broken, I can no longer protect you... It's my fault for taking risks... It's a pity that there seems to be no chance to atone for my sins..." His soul body has been completely destroyed. It disappeared, and only by sensing it with spiritual consciousness, one could barely see a trace of soul light there, reflecting Gu Xingzhou's once resolute cheek.
He slowly turned his head, no longer looking at the stone tablet that represented his endless hope in the past, but staring at the scarred, anxious and grieving faces, lost in thought.
He thought of Fu Xiang who persisted with low cultivation until now, of Xin Ling who almost lost his life, of Lan Ruyan whose injuries worsened several times, of Duan Mutian who had always supported him, of Xu Yue quarreled several times, but chose to continue to help Xu Yue every time.
All of this had nothing to do with them, but because of his words, they were involved in danger one after another, and even now, they are still in desperate situations.
"Wrong... I was wrong... Actually, if you think about it carefully, how could I have gained nothing in the past hundred years? The things I cherish most... family love... friendship... are also available in this era..." Gu Xingzhou shed tears of soul without warmth. In the last moments, he seemed to be returning to the light. He didn't know where he came from, and he desperately moved the remaining soul, trying to return to Xu Yue and others.
However, how could the stone tablet, which had finally captured its prey, let him go so easily? Since there is no water vapor to replenish nutrients for it, the last remaining remnant soul should be absorbed together.
Click! The cracks on the surface of the stone tablet expanded again, the suction force suddenly increased, and while the light bloomed, everything was completely submerged.
"Xu Yue, Mu Tian, Xin Ling, Xiao Lanxian, and Miss Fu Xiang... If there is an afterlife, you still want to call me big brother, and I will take you to travel around the world..." Tired and extremely tired The guilty voice fell, and Gu Xingzhou, the lonely son, finally rested forever after working hard for a hundred years.
