The two people left the place and came to a big tree. They sat cross-legged and Xuanyuan Bi began to tell Gu Shuo about the changes in Dahuang in the past few years. According to Xuanyuan Bi's story, there is still no news about the two ancestors of the Great Wilderness. It seems that Chengtian did not find Ao Tian, otherwise the fight between two Mahayana monks would have shocked the entire wilderness.
Half a day later, the human race began to return one after another. Gu Shuo and Xuanyuan Bi merged into these monks and returned to Xitie Pass. While walking towards Xitieguan, Xuanyuan Bi spoke with his spiritual consciousness:
"Where are your team members? You don't care?"
"Don't worry about it, they will go back on their own. By the way, we went to Zhaobi Street. You can stay at my place first, and then choose a store to talk about. Then I will say that you are an old friend of mine."
"good!"
The two of them returned to Zhaobi Street, opened the shop door and walked in. Zhu Sanniang was not there, so she must have gone home. There was a three-legged poison toad squatting on the counter. Gu Shuo glanced at him, then walked through the back door and came to the yard. Gu Shuo pointed to the room on the right:
"You can live there temporarily."
"Okay, but I still want to have my own nest as soon as possible, so I won't go in yet. I will go out for a walk and buy a shop as soon as possible."
Gu Shuo was fine, so Xuanyuan Bi left in a hurry. Gu Shuo thought for a moment, then informed the Three-legged Poison Toad that if he had anything to tell him, he entered the Qiankun Cauldron and began to try to refine the Soul-Calling Bell again.
He felt that after this battle, the demon clan might send an even crazier number of demon servants to Xitie Pass. What is a demon servant to the demon clan?
It is blood food. No matter how high the status is, it is nothing more than a tool, a tool that can be sacrificed at any time. They will not pity the life of the demon servant. A large number of demon servants pouring into Xitieguan will definitely bring extreme chaos to Xitieguan. He needs to refine the soul-catching bell that can identify the demon servant as soon as possible.
In fact, his idea is very simple. He still refines the soul-catching bell according to the original basic method, but the soul-catching bell refined this time needs to have the active soul-catching effect, which is different from the soul-catching bell in his sea of consciousness. The soul-stirring bell in his sea of consciousness does not have the ability to actively attack, and must be controlled by him.
The reason why it is difficult is because when Gu Shuo and Zhang Chen speculated about spiritual weapons before, they felt that only magic weapons that can actively attack and defend can be upgraded to spiritual weapons. The biggest difference between spiritual weapons and magic weapons is that there is a weapon spirit. With a weapon spirit, you can actively attack and defend.
However, it is obviously impossible for the current Gu Shuo to refine a weapon spirit, but this does not necessarily mean that he cannot refine a soul-stirring bell that can actively attack. It does not need defense, but only needs to be able to actively attack.
At first, Gu Shuo had no idea, but later when he was chatting with Song Jinshui and they talked about Fu Dao, Gu Shuo suddenly had an idea.
A talisman is inspired by spiritual energy or spiritual consciousness. Once activated, the talisman can attack or defend. So if the Soul Seizing Bell wants to take the initiative to attack, there needs to be a triggering condition, just like setting a switch. As soon as this switch is pressed, the soul-catching bell will immediately attack.
So what is this switch?
It’s the demon servant!
No!
Strictly speaking, it is not the demon servant, but the mark in the demon servant's sea of consciousness. But how to make the soul-catching bell sense the mark in the demon servant's sea of consciousness?
This is what Gu Shuo has been experimenting with these days.
His initial thought was very simple. Because he had many demon servant marks, he wanted to seal some demon clan marks in the soul-catching bell. Would this echo the marks in the demon servant's sea of consciousness?
And thus discover the demon servant?
Then he tried it several times, but it didn't work.
The same didn't work today.
Gu Shuo came out of the Qiankun Cauldron a little disappointed, sat cross-legged on the floor, and began to routinely force out the sword energy in his body. Now there were only seven strands of sword energy left in his body.
In the evening, Xuanyuan Bi came back happily.
"Master Yuehuang, Master Yuehuang!"
Gu Shuo was drinking tea: "Come in, I just made tea."
Xuanyuan Bi strode in, picked up the tea that Gu Shuo had just poured for him, and drank it all in one gulp. Putting the teacup on the table with a bang:
"Let's go and see my shop."
"Did you get it down?"
"Of course! Let's go, let's go!"
Gu Shuo stood up dumbfounded: "Why are you so excited?"
"This is the first time I have opened a shop in my long life."
"hehe……"
"What are you talking about?"
"I just smiled..."
"No! Don't forget, I also came to Tianxuan when I was young. At that time, many people who laughed at me were like this. Are you laughing at me for being a country bumpkin?"
"yes!"
"Yeah. If you're honest enough, I won't blame you."
"oh?"
Xuanyuan Bi raised her eyebrows: "Are you surprised? Are you surprised by my broad mind?"
"as long as you are happy!"
The two people were already standing in front of a shop. Gu Shuo raised his head and glanced, with a look of astonishment on his face:
"Have you even finished the plaque?"
"That's what I've been busy with this afternoon. Come in and take a look. I made the counters and shelves myself."
"Your...business must be good."
"Hahaha...I think so too."
"You didn't hire anyone?"
"No, I sell it myself. I don't actually need to practice now. What's missing is understanding. There is no conventional way to understand this thing. You can also sell vegetables."
"That's right!"
"What kind of shop does this fellow Taoist want to open?" Someone said outside the door.
Gu Shuo and Xuanyuan Bi walked out of the door. Gu Shuo naturally recognized the disguised Ximen Pojun, and sent a spiritual message to Xuanyuan Bi, who then laughed and said:
"Selling vegetables, is this guy also a shop owner on this street?"
"yes!"
Ximen Pojun nodded and introduced himself, and then people from the neighborhood kept coming, not just members of the Dahuang team. They were all interested when they heard that Xuanyuan Bi was selling spiritual vegetables. Xuanyuan Bi simply took out some spiritual vegetables and gave them to these neighbors. Everyone also showed their kindness and then left one after another.
After this conflict between small teams finally formed a large-scale clan war, there was a rare period of peace between Xitieguan and Xifengguan.
The death of the violent ape has reduced the demon clan's arrogance a lot.
Although there are still human and demon squads operating within this range, killing them. But it never led to a war, even on the scale of a small war. The human race has stepped up investigations. Although it has no actual effect, the number of monks guarding the city gate has increased, and countless spiritual consciousnesses are scanning back and forth for the monks entering and exiting.
Although this move caused great dissatisfaction among the monks, especially the female monks, they felt like they were being ignored. But he also understood in his heart that after all, the demon servant's entry into Xitieguan once caused a lot of panic. But understanding is understanding, and anger is anger. The monks are not good-tempered, so they gathered at the City Lord's Mansion. They gathered here not to protest, but to condemn. Why haven't the Tianmen League come up with a solution yet?
Zhou Xiangru did not spoil Tang Youjun either. In fact, the two of them had fallen out with each other before. Therefore, Zhou Xiangru said frankly that he had asked for help from the Tianmeng, and the Tianmeng also sent Tang Youjun. But not only did the problem not be solved, Tang Youjun, who was responsible for protecting those mysterious masters, not only arrogantly refused to enter the city lord's palace and let Xitieguan protect him, but in the end he also failed to protect those mysterious masters, causing casualties and causing the research to stagnate. .
Moreover, Zhou Xiangru has reported all this to Tianmeng and is waiting for Tianmeng’s further opinions.
Then, these monks gathered in the Qi Palace and asked Tang Youjun to give an explanation. Tang Youjun was holding back in the Qi Palace and did not dare to come out. It's not that he's afraid of these monks, what he's afraid of is that the situation will escalate and the Heavenly Alliance's punishment on him will increase.
Amid the commotion, Gu Shuo walked on the street, heading towards the Tianmeng Talisman Hall. He now feels that if he wants to refine an effective soul-catching bell, he must solve the problem in the talisman path. This was the plan given by Song Jinshui after he cooperated with Song Jinshui once. According to what Song Jinshui said, there is a kind of talisman called the Zi-Mother Talisman Array. If the mark of the demon servant is regarded as a sub-talisman, then the soul-catching bell is a mother talisman. If you can successfully establish this relationship, you should be able to create an effective Soul Seizer Bell. So, he came to the Qi Palace.
Because this kind of child-mother talisman is of a very high level, it requires a level of mystic master to understand it. But Song Jinshui is a Huang master and doesn't understand. Of course, Gu Shuo would not go to the Talisman Palace to examine the Talisman Master, and then go to the Library Pavilion to learn the Talisman Dao. That would take too long. Gushuo has plenty of time and can afford to wait, but Xitieguan cannot afford to wait.
Therefore, he came here to ask to see Zhu Yiyun, the master of the Xitie Guantian Alliance Talisman Palace.
The Demon Servant raided the Weapon Palace before and blew himself up. Zhu Yiyun was naturally there too, but luckily he was not injured. The research on how to deal with the demon servants was temporarily stalled due to the casualties of Master Xuan. Zhu Yiyun returned to Fu Palace.
Gu Shuo stepped into the Xitie Guantian League Talisman Hall. He just looked around and wanted to find someone to ask how he could meet Zhu Yiyun when he heard a surprising voice:
"Master Yuehuang!"
Gu Shuo looked for the sound and saw a Talisman Master looking at him excitedly.
"Who are you?"
"Oh, my name is Cheng Xiang, and I am a Talisman Master. Master Yuehuang, are you here?"
Gu Shuo didn't know why Cheng Xiang was so happy to see him, but he still replied: "I want to see Master Zhu Xuan."
"Oh, I'll take you there."
"Can you see Master Zhu Xuan?" Gu Shuo said in surprise. If this person can directly see Zhu Yiyun, the identity of this monk is not simple.
Cheng Xiang's face turned red: "I'll show you the way."
"Oh, thank you very much!"
"Master Yuehuang, please come this way."
The two people walked slowly through the crowd in the hall and towards the stairs. The sounds of discussion around him inevitably reached Gu Shuo's ears.
"Tell me, where is Gu Shuo now? Is he at our West Railway Pass?"
"I really didn't expect that Gu Shuo would show up at a critical moment. Do you think Gu Shuo just came back from the wilderness and happened to encounter a war between the two tribes, or has he always been living in seclusion in Xitieguan?"
"Not only Gu Shuo, but the Dahuang team are also back."
"Then do you think Gu Shuo has broken through the tribulation?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
"I think there is a breakthrough, otherwise how could Gu Shuo dare to come back? Isn't he afraid that Bai Zhanchuan will come to him?"
"So what if Bai Zhanchuan knows about it? It's not like Gu Shuo has never fought with Bai Zhanchuan, and Bai Zhanchuan can't do anything to him. Hey, when Gu Shuo was still a god, Bai Zhanchuan can't do anything to him. Now Gu Shuo can't do anything to him. If Shuo breaks through and crosses the tribulation, will he come back to seek revenge from Bai Zhanchuan?"
"If that's the case, Gu Shuo should no longer be at Xitieguan and has gone to Taiqing Sect to find Baizhanchuan."
The people around him suddenly became excited: "When Gu Shuo transformed into a god, he was able to withstand the late stages of transcending the tribulation. Now that Gu Shuo has broken through the tribulation, do you think he can compete with the great monks who have completed the tribulation?"
"Eh? Maybe!"
The voice became more and more excited: "If this is the case, when Gu Shuo breaks through to the middle stage of transcending the tribulation, do you think he can compete with the ancestor of Dahuang?"
Gu Shuo had already stepped onto the stairs at this time, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
In the words of these people, did you just break through the tribulation?
It is estimated that it won't be long before the news spreads throughout Tianxuan that he has broken through the tribulation, returned as a king, and went to the Taiqing Sect to seek revenge from Bai Zhanchuan.
It's really terrible to spread rumors!
Eh?
I wonder what Bai Zhanchuan's expression will be after hearing the news?
It must be very interesting!
A smile appeared on Gu Shuo's lips.
Tang Youjun stood in front of the window on the third floor of the Qi Palace, looking at the monks outside. Not all of these monks come here every day. Anyone who has time comes to block the door and shout a few times. But Tang Youjun couldn't cope with it. His current reputation is a bad one in Xitieguan. Standing behind him at this time was a mid-stage God Transformation, his deputy. His name is Li Shigang.
"Brother Tang."
"Um?"
"Is Gu Shuo really back?"
"Um."
"When he was being chased by Bai Zhanchuan, he happened to catch up with me in retreat. He is... very powerful?"
There was silence in the room for a while, and Tang Youjun nodded: "It's amazing!"
After another moment of silence, Tang Youjun added: "Some... scary!"
"It is rumored that he has broken through the tribulation. Is it true?"
Tang Youjun pondered for a moment: "Theoretically it's impossible, but when it comes to Gu Shuo, it seems possible."
"Why is it possible to put it on him?"
Tang Youjun suddenly sighed, his voice filled with envy and jealousy: "He is not even a hundred years old!"
Li Shigang's expression changed, and he understood the meaning of Tang Youjun's words.
A person who is less than a hundred years old can break through to the perfection of divine transformation. This is an unprecedented person. Is it impossible for such a person to break through and overcome the tribulation?
Tang Youjun turned his head, looked at Li Shigang, and said seriously: "Brother Li Xian, I advise you not to go against Gu Shuo. Although you are a monk of Taiqing Sect, Gu Shuo once said that this is between him and Master Bai Sect. It’s a personal grudge, why do you need to get involved?”
Li Shigang looked stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Brother Tang, you are worrying too much, I know how much I am capable of, how could I get involved in this matter?
Since Gu Shuo said it was a personal grudge in front of the monks all over the world, and Sect Master Bai did not refute it, this is already a fact. It's not that there are no monks in Taiqing Sect who are hostile to Gu Shuo, nor are there no monks who are involved, but more monks are watching. and……"
Li Shigang's eyes flashed sharply: "It's not that the Taiqing Sect is afraid of Gu Shuo, but it's because the Taiqing Sect is currently divided. Some people are following Master Bai, and some are waiting for Senior Brother Lei Haichao to return."
