Whether it was the resources for cultivation or the guidance on their cultivation, it can be said that Qingqiu Hu spared no effort in preaching and dispelling doubts to Gu Liqin, Guo Ying, and Li Fan, almost treating them as his own children.
At first, Gu Liqin thought so too. His master lost his daughter in middle age and transferred his care for her to several apprentices. However, as time passed and he followed Hu Er in Qingqiu for so many years, Gu Liqin suddenly felt that things were far from normal. So simple.
Qingqiu Fox's control over people's hearts is terrifying. After more than a hundred years of cultivation and facing powerful enemies several times, he can always make the right choice. In Gu Liqin's memory, the master has never been in a panic. .
This also just shows the unfathomable calculation in his heart, because everything is under control and he has nothing to fear.
When something goes wrong, there must be a demon. With this thought, Gu Liqin secretly investigated the past of Qingqiu Fox. From the unintentional words of a certain foundation-building elder, he learned the news about the mysterious disappearance of the four previous senior brothers. Really start to be on guard from the inside.
But until now, Qingqiu Fox has never done anything dangerous to these people. Everything was just his guess.
"Did I guess wrong?" Gu Liqin fell into deep doubt.
On the other side, Guo Ying was still comforting Qingqiu Hu, constantly urging him to refrain from mourning, that people cannot be resurrected after death, and not to blame themselves too much, etc.
"Master, Junior Brother Li Fan's death cannot be in vain. I now request revenge for Junior Brother!" Guo Ying persuaded him for a while and finally said this.
Qingqiu Fox raised his head slightly after hearing this.
There was so much meaning in this look that Guo Ying felt a little scared when he looked at her. However, when she thought that the master might be testing her sincerity, she thought for a moment and responded with a firm look, which made Qingqiu Hu retract his gaze.
"Li Qin." Qingqiu Hu said slowly.
"Ah!" Gu Liqin was startled by the sudden shout, and quickly answered with his hands raised: "Disciple is here!"
"Your senior sister said she wanted to avenge her junior brother. What do you think?"
Gu Liqin was about to blurt out revenge to show his loyalty, but suddenly felt that there was no need for the master to ask him this way. Although it was right to say this, it was definitely not what Qingqiu Hu wanted to hear.
He thought for a while and said: "Master, I would like to express my condolences to Junior Brother Li Fan for his death. However, we still need to be patient and don't let a small thing lead to a big loss. Since they can kill Junior Brother Li Fan, it means they are already near us. At this time Fighting them head-on is not worth the gain!"
"The top priority is to recall the five puppets. First, break the Qimen Dunjia Formation to help the master obtain the treasure. Then it will be a matter of course to deal with the enemies behind him!"
As Gu Liqin said this, he handed over the Xingshi Pill that controlled the puppet: "This disciple has few talents and little knowledge, so I still ask the master to take charge of the overall situation!"
"good very good...."
Qingqiu Hu nodded and said three good words in a row, his eyes full of relief: "You are calm in the face of danger and know how to be patient. You are really a good disciple of me!!"
The palm gently fell on Gu Liqin's shoulder, but the latter felt uneasy as if he was bearing the weight of ten thousand kilograms.
"Master said this, does he already know my plan?" Gu Liqin's back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Qingqiu Hu's words seemed to have only superficial meaning. He didn't look at the two of them. He took the Awakening Corpse Pill and refined it briefly, and then felt the approximate location of the five puppets in the sea of consciousness.
"Well...fortunately, it's not too far...one of them almost entered the door of death."
Qingqiu Hu was relieved, as the few puppets were not lost, so his plan was not ruined. The three of them went in and out of the passage, and after struggling for a while, they finally found all the five puppets that had lost contact.
Chen Mo walked at the end of the team with an expressionless face, exclaiming in his heart that he was in danger. He saw Qingqiu Fox and several apprentices coming over. He thought he had exposed his secret, but unexpectedly the other party just gave him a simple command. I lost interest in studying him.
After Chen Mo found out that he was at the door of death, he really didn't dare to act rashly. Even if the meaning of the inscription was what he guessed, he didn't have a teleportation token on him, so walking over was in vain.
There was no other way. Chen Mo could only follow the advice given to him by Gu Yao and walked due south three times in a row before leaving the Death Gate area. Before he could go further, he received a message from Gu Liqin and stood still.
The group of people walked through seven forked roads in succession. By the eighth, the ground under their feet had turned light silver. Guo Ying asked curiously: "Master, are we going out?"
"There are still more than thirty spaces."
Qingqiu Hu said slowly: "The formation here changes with the time. It is the moment of Shen Shi, which belongs to the wind. If the formation does not move, we can only go to the southeast where Xun belongs. If we are in a hurry, we can only go far away."
After hearing this, Chen Mo obviously saw Gu Yao's eyes flickering, as if he had a new understanding.
Gu Liqin and Guo Ying couldn't understand what Qingqiu Hu meant, so they had to follow his steps. The group went around in circles. After more than an hour, when they stepped into the last passage, it was obvious to everyone I immediately noticed the difference between this place and other places!
"out!!"
The light in front of them grew brighter and brighter, and an extremely empty space came into view.
The soil here is dark gray, and the reflected light reflects on the cave roof, making it look like the huge mouth of a wild beast in front of everyone, and the ferocious abyss extending in pitch black.
This place is already a bottomless underground cave. Who knows what kind of existence is hidden under the abyss?
Nine pitch-black chains nearly a foot wide spread out from all directions of the abyss, like the thousand-year-old tree whiskers entrenched by towering ancient trees. They have merged with the soil on the ground and are indistinguishable from each other. One end of the chain is embedded in solid rock. Wall, a huge sense of vicissitudes of life comes oncoming.
Gu Liqin was the closest. He tugged slightly, but he couldn't even make the chain shake without using his spiritual power.
"What is this?!" he couldn't help but said in surprise.
"It's right here...it's just like what's recorded in the classics...the Nine-Chain Locked Coffin...that's right!! It's right here!!"
Qingqiu Fox's eyes widened and he looked at the space here excitedly. The plan that had been planned for several years was about to be completed. He immediately ordered Guo Yingdao:
"Go to the abyss and see if there is a bronze coffin tied to the nine chains!"
Chen Mo stood at the back, and he could hear the urgency and excitement in Qingqiu Hu's tone. He had also experienced that kind of worry about gains and losses.
"This thing is his most important item." Chen Mo thought secretly in his heart.
"Yes!" Guo Ying agreed bravely. She walked over cautiously, looking into the dark abyss, like nine black pythons swinging in the wind, holding a square blue board tightly in its mouth, hanging in the air. middle.
The traction lock ring has become rusty after thousands of years of corrosion.
"Master, there is something hanging on the chain! But I don't know if you said it!" Guo Ying shouted to Qingqiu Fox.
