It is true that this elixir can strengthen the Taoist aura, and it is the elixir that practitioners dream of. However, if you don't observe carefully, you will never find that this elixir actually contains an astonishing sword intent.
It’s not like Taoist priests don’t practice swords. Some Taoist priests will choose swords as weapons, but that is just an auxiliary. In their eyes, a pure Taoist aura is the most important.
Gu Xiaotian looked at the old temple master with doubts in his eyes and asked: "The old temple master seems to have predicted that I will definitely come to Yunyou Club?"
The old temple master did not shy away from it, nodding and admitting: "To tell you the truth, if you meet people from Guyun Temple along the way, it is actually because of my arrangements."
Gu Xiaotian frowned. If the old temple master arranged for Guyun Temple to go down the mountain, it would naturally involve the All-Martial Arts Association.
The old temple leader saw Gu Xiaotian's doubts and waved his hand: "There is nothing about the All-Martial Arts Association in this. To be honest, it can be regarded as a coincidence."
Gu Xiaotian didn't ask any more questions, just took the elixir and walked down the ring.
The old temple master stood up slowly, looked at He Chen, and ordered: "The Yunyou Club will be left to you from now on. I have been basking in the sun for a long time. Now that I come out to bask in the sun, I feel much better."
He Chen nodded in agreement.
Before leaving, the old temple leader looked at Gu Xiaotian and said, "If you really have any questions, come to me before going down the mountain. I will wait for you in the main hall."
Gu Xiaotian actually has many questions in his heart, but he doesn't know how to ask them yet. He has to go back and sort out these things at night.
Now that everyone is here, Gu Xiaotian simply goes to the library to join in the fun.
By the time we reached the Library Pavilion, the place was already crowded.
Some people looked excited, holding several books and couldn't put them down, while others looked depressed. The things they brought had no value in the eyes of Zhenwu Guan.
Gu Xiaotian looked at Yi Ming and said with a smile: "Do you want to get some benefits?"
Yi Ming was stunned and nodded quickly.
Gu Xiaotian stretched out his hand and said: "Give me the thousand-year-old ancient rock."
Yi Ming was a little hesitant. This thousand-year-old rock was reserved for Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Xiaotian clicked his tongue and said, "As long as I'm here, you don't even have to show your face to Gu Qingfeng, and he can agree. The purpose of these thousand-year-old rocks is to get some benefits from Zhenwu Temple."
Yi Ming thought about it and realized that this statement seemed to make sense, so he happily handed over the thousand-year-old rock.
Holding the thousand-year-old rock, Gu Xiaotian came to He Chen and said with a smile: "Ask Taoist He, how many floors does this library have?"
He Chen smiled and said: "There are nine floors in total, but today only the third floor is open. Is it possible that my little friends are also interested in my Taoist secrets?"
Gu Xiaotian waved his hand, "I'm not interested in Taoist secrets, but I do want to go to the ninth floor to take a look."
With that said, he put the thousand-year-old rock into He Chen's hands.
He Chen looked at the thousand-year-old rock in his hand and was slightly shocked. The quality of this thousand-year-old rock was extremely good. He then raised his head and looked at Guyun Temple. He never expected that Guyun Temple had such a treasure.
However, it seems a little difficult for him to want to go to the ninth floor with a thousand-year-old rock.
He Chen bargained: "My friend, this thousand-year-old rock is indeed good, but you can't go to the ninth floor. I can open the stairs to the sixth floor for you..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Xiaotian snatched the thousand-year-old rock back and sighed: "Forget it, it's only the sixth floor. I don't like things that are too ordinary."
As he spoke, his expression changed, and he showed a sinister smile and said, "You also know that if I force my way in, you won't be able to stop me."
He Chen looked at Gu Xiaotian and sighed slightly.
This guy has spent all his previous revenge on Zhenwu.
The presence of Zhao Qixing in the temple gave He Chen a headache, and this time there was another one.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in He Chen's mind.
"Promise him, Gu Yan accepts it and lets him go up. People from Guyun Temple can go up to the seventh floor and choose three things."
He Chen conveyed it immediately.
Gu Xiaotian nodded with satisfaction, looked at Guyun Guan and the three of them and said, "Go ahead and pick. After you finish picking, wait for me downstairs. Lao Yi, don't turn your back and run away after taking the things. Otherwise, Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will let Gu Qingfeng catch you out!"
Yiming looked ashamed, "I have meat to eat with you. It's such a good job, why run when you have nothing to do?"
…
…
The stairs on the seventh floor in front are actually connected, and it is not difficult to go up. But after reaching the seventh floor, He Chen asked Gu Xiaotian to wait where he was, and came to a bookshelf. With a wave of Buddha Chen, the bookshelf moved slowly. Reveal a secret passage.
The secret passage was downwards, which made Gu Xiaotian puzzled, "Daozhang He, I walked to the sixth floor and had to go down. Are you treating me like a monkey?"
He Chen smiled slightly, "In fact, there is no distinction between up, down, left and right in the world."
Gu Xiaotian glanced at He Chen with disdain, guessing that He Chen could not be Zhao Qixing's senior brother and actually said something that was incomprehensible.
The further down he goes, the more magical Gu Xiaotian feels.
It was obviously a way down the mountain, but it felt like climbing a mountain. The surroundings began to be filled with clouds and mist, which soon covered his waist.
He Chen walked halfway when he suddenly stopped and said softly: "I have to ask for permission in advance before I want to go to the ninth floor. I have to walk the rest of the way on my own."
After saying that, He Chen disappeared into the clouds and mist without a trace.
Gu Xiaotian clicked his tongue and was showing off again!
Step by step down, but still can't see the bottom.
Monk Gu Xiaotian Zhang Er was confused and looked back at the road he came from. The place was already covered by clouds and mist, and there was no end in sight.
As a last resort, Gu Xiaotian could only bite the bullet and continue walking down.
Without He Chen's company, Gu Xiaotian was actually feeling scared.
Keep walking like this, it's far from the end. I don't know how long I walked, but Gu Xiaotian felt it carefully, and suddenly felt a subtle breath in the clouds, as if someone was gently kneading his body with slender hands.
This feeling made Gu Xiaotian very comfortable. He stayed where he was, extremely intoxicated.
"Forget about the sorrows of the world, how about staying here?"
A voice sounded in his heart.
Only then did Gu Xiaotian react and shook his head. Unconsciously, the cloud and mist had already covered his neck.
Gu Xiaotian smiled slightly, slapped his face hard, and continued walking down.
As he walked all the way, Gu Xiaotian actually counted the steps consciously from the beginning. Counting from the starting point, he has reached a total of 800 steps now.
After eight hundred steps, the clouds and fog gradually dissipated, replaced by darkness.
Gu Xiaotian took a deep breath and continued walking downward.
After eight hundred steps, Gu Xiaotian felt an unprecedented pressure for some reason, making it very difficult for him to take a step forward.
However, now that you have come, giving up halfway is not Gu Xiaotian’s style.
When we reached the 900th step step by step, the scenery in front of us changed again.
This time, there was a wilderness before us.
Endless as far as the eye can see.
Gu Xiaotian stayed where he was, staring quietly ahead.
In front, you can vaguely see a person sitting on a big rock.
The man on the big rock slowly turned his head and looked at Gu Xiaotian.
The two of them were far apart, so they couldn't actually see their eyes clearly, but both of them were convinced that the other person was looking at them.
A voice suddenly sounded in Gu Xiaotian's heart, "Are you sure you want to come over and have a look? The scenery here is very nice."
Gu Xiaotian said nothing and still stood where he was.
"Actually, there are nothing valuable on the ninth floor of the library, just some useless books."
At some point, that person got a lot closer to Gu Xiaotian.
Gu Xiaotian blinked and asked, "Senior, don't you want me to go to the ninth floor?"
“It doesn’t really matter what I think, it’s what you think that matters.”
The other party said softly: "If I really don't want to, I can actually let you keep walking on that staircase, but the question is, if you really want to go to the ninth floor, will you stop?"
Gu Xiaotian shook his head.
The other party smiled happily.
In just the blink of an eye, the man had already arrived in front of Gu Xiaotian.
He is dressed in a Taoist attire, but he is not an old man with an immortal air like the old temple master, but an energetic middle-aged man.
Gu Xiaotian stared at the man, his heart suddenly startled.
The man's face was surprisingly consistent with Song Bufan's.
The other party smiled and said: "It seems that the person you are most afraid of deep down is him."
Gu Xiaotian subconsciously held the hilt of the sword.
The other party suddenly stretched out his hand, held down the hilt of Gu Xiaotian's sword, then flicked his sleeves, and the scene changed again.
The wilderness disappeared, and bookshelves appeared around Gu Xiaotian.
And the other party's face also changed at this moment.
The other person was extremely ordinary, with white hair. He was old, but had no special features.
Gu Xiaotian frowned and said, "Was it all an illusion just now?"
"It's an illusion, but not entirely."
The other party stroked his beard and asked with a smile: "Let me ask you, what was your first thought in that wilderness just now?"
Gu Xiaotian said truthfully: "Although it is a wilderness, it feels extremely relaxing."
The other party nodded and continued to ask: "Then what did you feel when you saw that face?"
Gu Xiaotian's eyes became fierce, and he faintly uttered one word, "Kill."
Hearing this answer, the other party was obviously taken aback.
Then, he shook his head and sighed: "The murderous intention is too serious."
Gu Xiaotian looked around. The scene here was actually the same as the lower three floors. There were some books on the bookshelf. Apart from that, there was only a small wooden table and two futons in the distance.
Gu Xiaotian looked at the Taoist opposite and asked, "Senior, is this the person who looks after the ninth floor?"
The other party nodded, "It's Pindao. My little friend, I also saw it on the ninth floor. Is there something different from what I imagined?"
Gu Xiaotian said bluntly: "There is indeed a gap. When I climbed the stairs, I thought it would be some kind of fairyland, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that."
The Taoist laughed heartily.
He turned around and slowly sat on the futon, making a gesture of invitation, gesturing for Gu Xiaotian to sit opposite him.
Gu Xiaotian looked at the Taoist, but did not go directly to him. Instead, he stood where he was.
The Taoist priest slowly said: "Young friend, are you worried about my identity?"
Gu Xiaotian looked at the Taoist priest and remained silent.
"No need to be afraid. Although I may not be able to help you, I will never harm you."
The Taoist priest sat on the futon and said with a contented expression, "I can barely be regarded as the founder of this true martial art."
Some people died, but not completely...
