Although under the protection of the Yunxiao Sect, there are no major disasters, but there are still some little monsters that appear and disturb people's peace, or there are small holes in the barrier somewhere. These are usually solved by the disciples who go down the mountain as opportunities for experience.
Gu Beiqing walked slowly on the lively street, watching people coming and going, and listening to the familiar shouts. He couldn't help but think of what he had seen in the secret realm before, which was only two or three hundred years old. In the eyes of cultivators, it was not considered a long time. So dilapidated. Gu Beiqing pursed her lips, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Following the instructions, Gu Beiqing came to the foot of a mountain in the suburbs, where the barrier was somewhat loose. Gu Beiqing raised his hand to form a seal, and when he was about to put the seal on the old seal, he was surprised. There was a different spiritual power fluctuation under the seal here.
Although Xuanzhi did not let Gu Beiqing learn anything, these low-level spells were all taught in the sect, and those who repaired them in the past were only low-level disciples, so there should not be such a seal. The seal hidden underneath is so faint that it is almost invisible. To be precise, it will be invisible if the cultivation level is not high enough. This is why no one reported the repairs so many times.
But I kept patching it up, but it kept loosening it again. It's not a big deal if the barrier is temporarily loose. If it remains loose, not to mention some powerful monsters taking advantage of the loophole to cause harm to the world, if there is always life seeping in through this small gap, the consequences will be disastrous. It's like it's been invisibly and quietly eating away at people's souls, making people live a few years less without even realizing it.
Thinking of this, Gu Beiqing put away the seal that was about to cover it, and looked at this strange seal in detail. It looked like a seal, but it was too faint, and even Gu Beiqing couldn't see it clearly. This shows that the person who placed the seal was highly cultivated. Maybe it's some kind of small formation, Gu Beiqing thought.
But whether the barrier here often breaks down is because their spells are not good or there are other factors at play. Just like the one in front of him, Gu Beiqing is not sure. But he couldn't leave just like that. After thinking about it, Gu Beiqing still put a new seal on it like the previous ones.
After finishing, Gu Beiqing dusted off his clothes and was about to leave when he noticed a dark purple light flashing halfway up the mountain. It was him! Gu Beiqing quickly chased after him.
"Senior, wait!" Gu Beiqing shouted.
Sure enough, after hearing Gu Beiqing's voice, Ziguang stopped and slowly approached Gu Beiqing. It's the old man.
"Well, not bad, I'm making rapid progress! Haha!" In the dark purple robe is an old man with gray hair and an ancient appearance.
"I dare to ask you who your senior is. Don't forget the kindness of your senior." Gu Beiqing bowed and said respectfully.
"What a shame, old man! I'm just doing what you should have done, it's no big deal."
Gu Beiqing was a little confused.
"I'm relieved to see that your cultivation has greatly improved. Just go find some more books and read them." After that, he turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the horizon.
What does reading mean? Isn’t it enough that I have read almost all the books in the library?
Gu Beiqing thought about it and went down the mountain.
But the old man in black robe appeared out of thin air at the same place just now, looked at Gu Beiqing's back and sighed.
"Fortunately it's not too far off."
Gu Beiqing then went to collect some little demons who had slipped out, and then sat in a teahouse.
Business in the teahouse was booming, everyone was drinking tea and chatting enthusiastically, all focusing on the topic of this secret realm.
In the past, every time the secret realm was opened, it was a competition between various sects to show off the strength of the new disciples. If any disciple performed outstandingly in the secret realm, it was an opportunity for the entire sect to become famous. This time, the various sects did not hold any summary and commendation meeting. They all hurried back home and immediately returned to their normal self. The common people would not know that the leaders secretly held an emergency meeting, but there were rumors that many sects suffered heavy losses in the secret realm this time.
Gu Beiqing slowly blew away the foam in the tea cup, tapping the wooden table gently with his left finger, listening to the comments of the people around him, thoughtfully. Since Qi Ming and his party died inexplicably due to sorcery, the souls of these people have also been absorbed. If the elders want to use soul summoning to find them, they will not be able to find them, and there will definitely be more than just those who die. All sects have lost disciples inexplicably. If this strange thing is not found out, once it is exposed, the world of cultivation will be in chaos.
The sky is getting late, and the afterglow of the setting sun is gradually covered with ink. Gu Beiqing faced the sect and looked at the disciples who were returning to the sect in twos and threes. Their black backs were a bit thin.
Suddenly, Gu Beiqing dodged a folding fan that was slapped on his left shoulder.
"Hey, Beiqing, long time no see!" Wu Ziye chuckled.
Obviously, Wu Jing's appearance was beyond Gu Beiqing's expectation, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously raised a small arc. Of course, Wu Jing would not admit that he was rushing to see him off.
"Why, you didn't bring your sister Die'er with you?" Gu Beiqing pretended to be jealous, but to his surprise, Wu Jing turned serious.
"Xu Mengdie and I are innocent! In fact, she has been pestering me since I was a child! After all, I am as handsome as Shunhua and more handsome than Pan An. There are many girls pursuing me! Alas, there is no way, Charming It’s too big!” Before he could say a few words, he returned to his natural state.
Gu Beiqing did not reply this time.
He always felt that his feelings for Wu Jing were different, but he never admitted it, and still deceived his heart under the guise of "taking advantage".
"Just in time, I plan to go to Yin Yang Valley, shall we come together?" Gu Beiqing thought for a while and said.
"What are you doing in such an evil place?" Wu Jing felt a little apprehensive. The so-called Yin Yang Valley, one side belongs to the world of cultivation, and the other half belongs to the world of demons. In addition to some monsters, they may also be attacked by demons. Shan Wujing also knew that Gu Beiqing would not change his decision, so he thought about it and decided to go along.
Therefore, Wu Jing stayed in the city for one night while Gu Beiqing returned to the sect to hand over the task.
Xuan Jing, the head of Yunxiao Sect, was a little surprised when he heard that Gu Beiqing was going to Yin Yang Valley. When he heard that Gu Beiqing said that he wanted to find some materials to forge a handy sword, Xuan Jing was silent for a while. Because of Xuanzhi, he always felt that Gu Beiqing shouldn't have suffered such a big crime at such a young age, but he couldn't help Xuanzhi's face, so he could only help secretly. Having passed the age of choosing a sword, Xuanzhi has always refused to let Gu Beiqing choose a sword that belongs to him.
The leader also noticed that Gu Beiqing was extremely talented and had made great progress during the trial in the secret realm.
"Did your master tell you?"
Gu Beiqing pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Hey, that's right. You go ahead. I'll go talk to my junior brother." Xuan Jing sighed and said.
