Gu Shuo couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air. Only then did he realize that the three insects were actually devouring the luck in the spring. Especially the big one, it was devoured so fast.
What exactly is that?
Why do they swallow the luck in the spring?
Are they foreign, or are they born from the spring?
"Snapped!"
"hiss……"
Gu Shuo gasped, and the clothes on his left arm were torn to pieces, leaving a trail of blood. You must know that even if Gu Shuo is sealed, his body still has the toughness of the third level of out-of-body. But at this time, a blood stain was drawn out. Before he could see who it was, he heard a scolding voice:
"Let you be lazy here!"
Gu Shuo turned around and saw a girl standing on his left side, glaring at him righteously. Gu Shuo did not dare to regard the other party as a real girl. The Qingmu tribe had a long life span, and someone who looked like the girl in front of him might be thousands of years old. And the cultivation level is definitely not low, otherwise it will not hurt itself. He stood up in a hurry, lowering his eyes slightly and saying nothing. Arguing at this time and saying that you have done your job will only lead to more whippings and humiliation.
However, Gu Shuo also had pride in his heart. Although he would not resist needlessly, his expression was indifferent and calm, and his eyes were slightly lowered.
The strange thing is that the girl just snorted coldly and did not whip him again. Instead, she sat under the tree, hugging her knees and putting her chin on her knees, feeling a little lost.
Gu Shuo stood there obediently, not even daring to move. To avoid further humiliation, I hoped in my heart that this girl would leave quickly.
However, the girl seemed to have forgotten him and just sat there blankly. Gu Shuo sighed in his heart. It was really boring to stand like this, so he started to use his eyes to capture the particles of life. I don’t know how long it took, but I suddenly heard the girl’s cold shout:
"Why are your eyes rolling?"
This voice startled Gu Shuo, and he hurriedly closed his eyes, lowered his eyes again, and said nothing.
"Alas..." Unexpectedly, the girl suddenly sighed, as if saying to Gu Shuo, or to herself: "Something happened to the fountain of life."
Gu Shuo's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly remembered the three bugs in the symbol of luck. He turned his head slightly and looked at the girl. The girl put her chin on her knees again and sat there with her knees in her arms, her eyes dull.
Gu Shuo's heart moved and he said, "Do you need my help?"
"You?" The girl's eyes showed disdain.
Gu Shuo said with an indifferent expression: "One person is poor, and two people are wise. The human race and the Qingmu clan have different cultivation directions, so there may be a way. Why don't you tell me about the fountain of life, and I will listen first."
Seeing that the girl didn't respond, he said excitedly: "You're not afraid that I'll leak it out, are you? I can't leave here."
The girl sighed. Maybe she had kept this matter in her heart for too long, or maybe she was very hesitant in her heart, so she said:
"Actually, something happened to the Fountain of Life three thousand years ago, and the vitality contained in it began to weaken. But at that time, the weakening rate was very slow, almost negligible. But our Aoki clan is very sensitive to the vitality, and we still let it go. Found it. The elders of the clan have been searching and studying the reason for the weakening of vitality, but they have never found it."
At this point, her voice became excited: "Who knew that in the past hundred years, the vitality of the Life Spring has been weakened sharply, and the vitality it contains today is not even one-tenth of what it was three thousand years ago. If this continues, it will not be used anymore. In a hundred years, there will be no fountain of life.”
Gu Shuo was not shocked at all. When he saw the three insects devouring the destiny of the spring of life, he made some guesses. But he was still a little surprised that this girl would tell him such a secret thing.
Then he smiled to himself.
This is just like what she said just now. This girl doesn't even consider that she can reveal the secret. She is a slave here. Still a slave who can never escape. So what if you tell yourself?
What's the difference between this and talking to a dead tree?
It's just that people are stressed out and bored, so they treat Gu Shuo as a trash can and talk trash in their hearts.
"I'm just a trash can!"
Gu Shuo's mood at this time was even more depressed than that girl's. Being a slave was not enough, he was also a trash can.
"That's right!" The girl suddenly raised her head and stared at Gu Shuo: "You just said that you might have a way... The Taoism practiced by your human race is very complex and full of strange things, maybe..."
"Whoosh..."
The girl disappeared all of a sudden, which shocked Gu Shuo. At this rate, this girl is at least at the beginning of out-of-body cultivation, and it's not even in its early stages.
The corner of Gu Shuo's mouth twitched. No wonder the human race couldn't conquer Life Island. With this strength, who could do it?
Gu Shuo turned around and walked towards the village, returned to the village and entered his room. Then he began to try to study the seal in the body again. I don’t know how much time passed, but I suddenly heard a loud voice coming from outside:
"Come out of here!"
Gu Shuo stood up, opened the door and walked out. He saw a member of the clan walking out and looked at the two people in the center of the village. Gu Shuo's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.
Gu Shuo didn't know one of these two people. The other one is exactly the girl from before. Then I heard the unknown Aoki male cultivator shout:
"You come with me."
Gu Shuo's heart moved, but the others followed behind the two Aoki tribe with numb faces. After walking for more than half an hour, Gu Shuo couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling that the particles of life here were even richer. Where you enter is a lush forest. Each big tree is dozens of feet tall and unusually thick. And there are treehouses on the big trees. Seeing Brother Aoki coming out of the tree house, he looked at Gu Shuo and his group in surprise. A monk Aoki couldn't help but ask:
"Princess Qingqing, what are you doing?"
The girl then said: "The human race's cultivation methods are full of strange things. Let them see if they can find out the problem with the Fountain of Life."
"Yeah, why didn't you think of it before?"
"Although the human race is weak, their way of cultivation, as Princess Qingqing said, is full of strange things. Maybe you can see the problem."
A group of Aoki monks were chattering, with expectations in their eyes. Now Gu Shuo has some understanding of the Aoki clan. Whether he did not kill himself at the beginning or the current behavior of these Aoki clan, it shows that the Aoki clan does not seem to be a race that likes killing. It seems that most of the plant family are not easy to kill, just like the tree spirits of Bicui Island.
Valley
When the human race lost four tribulations here, it was because the human race came to plunder the foundation of the Aoki clan, the fountain of life. Even so, when the human race retreats. The Aoki clan did not attack the Tianmeng either.
This shows the character of the Aoki clan!
This made Gu Shuo relax slightly and start thinking. He thought this was an opportunity.
Everyone kept walking forward and walked for about an hour before appearing in an open space. The clearing is surrounded by the surrounding forest, forming a circular shape. There are wooden houses on the surrounding trees. In the center of the open space, there is a pool of water. The pool is not big, with a diameter of less than ten meters. There is a strong energy of life rising.
That is the fountain of life.
At this time, there were three people standing next to the fountain of life, one old man, and the other two were not young, but younger than the old man in the center.
"Dad, the human race has brought it." Qingqing ran to the old man in the center and hugged the old man's arm.
The old man glanced at dozens of human races. Although his gaze was gentle, it put a mountain of pressure on Gu Shuo. He had never felt such pressure before, and this was because the old man did not deliberately show his power. All human faces turned pale. The old man said calmly:
"I am the leader of the Aoki clan, you can call me Cang Cui. I have called you here this time for the Fountain of Life. There was a problem with the Fountain of Life three thousand years ago, and now the problem is even more serious. I came here to let you know You help, no matter who among you solves this problem, I will let you all go. And the person who solves the problem, the Aoki clan owes a favor. No matter what happens, as long as it does not hurt the foundation of the Aoki clan, Aoki The entire clan will repay this favor.”
"ah?"
Some people exclaimed that the expressions of these dozens of people finally stopped being numb and showed hope.
"As expected!"
Gu Shuo felt relieved, and then began to think about how he could handle this matter. He is cautious and always does things with a plan.
"Of course!" Green's voice sounded again: "If you can't solve the problem, you will still be slaves here. But if you not only fail to solve the problem, but make the problem of the Fountain of Life serious, you will die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cang Cui stretched out his hand to grab, and the ancient vine bracelets on the wrists of dozens of monks fell away, and the seals in their bodies also dissipated. The long-lost spiritual power and spiritual consciousness can finally be used. All the monks were happy in their hearts.
However, the hope in the eyes of dozens of monks subsequently diminished. Among these people, the one with the lowest cultivation level is also the Golden elixir. The mind is extremely alert.
It's been three thousand years since something happened to the Fountain of Life. The Aoki clan has been studying it for three thousand years, but they still haven't figured it out. How can I and others figure it out?
However, after all, there is still hope in the heart. After Cang Cui signaled, everyone stepped forward and observed around the fountain of life.
Gu Shuo first used his eyesight to look, and sure enough he couldn't see the three bugs in the spring. He watched carefully for half an hour, convinced that his eyesight was all over the corner of the spring, but he still didn't find it.
This spring is very clear, but it is bottomless.
Gu Shuo looked away and saw that most of the dozens of monks were practicing cross-legged beside the Fountain of Life. Only a few monks were still observing the Fountain of Life. At this time, the green wood had left, leaving some monks from the Qingmu clan to monitor Gu Shuo and the others. Here, they are not afraid of Gu Shuo and others escaping.
There is no way to escape.
Princess Qingqing did stay, and was sitting on a branch with her feet dangling in the air.
Gu Shuo decided to practice for a while first, and the Qingmu clan would not object. After all, everyone has been sealed for so long. If you want to study the fountain of life, you naturally need to restore your cultivation to its peak.
Looking around, I saw some monks studying the spring of life, and some monks were holding a wooden box with the spring of life in their hands and studying it. Gu Shuo thought about it and asked for a wooden box. He pretended to study it for two days, and then began to practice while continuing to sort out and understand the way of heaven.
These days, although he cannot practice, he can understand the way of heaven. The combing and understanding of the Tai Chi tree, the tree spirit, the Zhou Tian Baolu, and various techniques allowed him to create many Tao patterns on the thirty-third lotus leaf of the Sea of Consciousness Lotus. At this time, Gu Shuo did not want to waste any time and continued to sort out and understand the way of heaven. In fact, he also regretted that the storage bag was taken away and the skills were all in the storage bag. If he had the skills in the storage bag, his pregnancy would improve faster.
With this practice, Gu Shuo forgot the time, the place, and both things and myself. A month passed in a hurry, and he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. He woke up from his practice and was covered in white hair and sweat. Opening her eyes, she saw an angry face, that of Princess Qingqing.
"I asked you to solve the problem, not to practice here."
"I know!" Gu Shuo hurriedly raised his hand and said, "It's just that my cultivation level is low, and there are many seniors here. I thought I would not go over and cause trouble. Or if I improve my cultivation level, I can better solve the problem."
Seeing Princess Qingqing's face getting darker and darker, she hurriedly said: "I'll go right now."
Princess Qingqing said coldly: "You have to remember that we will not give you unlimited time.
One year.
There is only one year. If you can't solve the problem, then you will all die. "
Gu Shuo nodded, stood up and came to the spring, and his spiritual consciousness spread out.
More than an hour later, Gu Shuo withdrew his spiritual consciousness, but it had no effect. Can't see the three bugs. Gu Shuo opened his eyes and looked towards the spring, and sure enough he saw three insects.
These three worms are just like spring water, and even the spiritual sense cannot distinguish them. In Zongmu's view, the three of them were swallowing the life energy in the spring.
Gu Shuo withdrew his eyes, pretending to observe the spring, and began to think in his mind.
What exactly is this bug?
What effect does it have?
Do you want to catch one and hide it yourself?
Must be caught!
Gu Shuo now has a speculation that these three insects were born in the spring of life, and there is a high possibility that they are not foreign. So, this made Gu Shuo wonder, did this spring appear just to give birth to this kind of insect?
The way of heaven is elusive, and many things cannot be explained clearly, but they have cause and effect.
If these three insects were really born in this spring, then they would definitely be treasures. Although I don’t know what the effect will be, it is definitely not to be missed.
How to get bugs from the surveillance of the Aoki clan?
