The ancient voice of the Valley Master was dry and harsh, like the sound of a beast chewing bones.
Under the abyss, rocks were scattered, and the dust and mist had long since dispersed. The faint green fire reflected on everyone, and from time to time there were a few shrill wails, and the silence was even more profound.
Gu Shigu was as short and thin as a skeleton, and could only live in seclusion on a stone niche, but his words were quite heroic, as if his boat had crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains.
"Ancestor..." Yu Baili was very emotional. He stood upright now, even leaning back a little. He no longer looked wary of others just now, and he glanced at Lu Qingyin and Lin Bai from time to time.
Gu Shigu looked around at everyone, looked at Ying Caidi, and said: "It is as clean as new, and it means returning to nature." Looking at Mu Zhen again, he said: "Purple auspicious light, deep blessings."
"Spiritual grass and immortal trees are created by heaven and earth." Gu Shigu commented on He Wenyao and Wu Muqian, but he ignored Lu Qingyin and looked at Lin Pei and the two, "Full and harmonious, natural and harmonious. The sword's intention is restrained and does not trigger. , you are the best here.”
He was actually the most optimistic about Pei Ning.
When everyone saw Nascent Soul's comments, they all saluted, but Lu Qingyin remained silent, which made He Wenyao stop midway through his salute.
"Everyone has a bright future." Master Gu's ancient words sounded erratic, and the Yin Fire in the stone niches in front of and behind him jumped and flashed, "I don't have much life left, and I have been shackled for many years. I don't want to escape. It's just that I don't want to escape. I have some experience in having a baby, which may be helpful to you.”
He was extremely haggard, but he had a somewhat benevolent air, which inspired some respect.
"Old Ancestor!" When Yu Baili saw Gu Shigu saying these words, it was clear that he had lost his spirit and wanted to sit down and die on the spot as soon as he finished preaching.
Gu Shigu raised his hand slightly, indicating that Yu Baili didn't need to say more.
Everyone saw this, but they were still very far away. Only Yu Baili came closer, but he was still more than ten feet away.
Gu Shigu seemed to have really caught a glimpse of the change in fate. He stared blankly at the void above his head for a while, and then slowly told the story of the pill formation in the past.
"My natal Yin Fire, based on the theory that the fire never ceases and the human being is immortal, I formed an elixir based on it. Then I cultivated all the way, and finally realized the Tao Yuanying."
Gu Shigu immediately talked about his experience in conceiving a baby and the difficulties he had to go through.
All the golden elixirs are knowledgeable. In fact, they have heard this statement a long time ago. It is nothing more than breaking and then establishing, it means that the body and mind are broken, even the golden elixir and the sea of consciousness are the same, and then connected with the heaven and earth, and get a part of the true meaning. From then on, I can cultivate this meaning alone, feel the great way of heaven and earth, and control the power of heaven and earth for myself. use.
This is also the purpose of the plum tree fruit that Lin Bai got, to feel the pain of having a baby in advance.
However, Gu Shigu has another new theory, "The road is vast and vast. I don't know its beginning or its end. The road is like endless water. We, ants, with little power and little virtue, only drink from a ladle. But why can't we walk on both roads in parallel? ?”
Everyone didn't take Gu Shigu's sermon seriously at first, but after hearing this, they immediately became interested and listened attentively.
Gu Shigu also talked about the difficulty of cultivating the two great roads, that is, life span will sometimes run out, and it will be difficult to walk alone, let alone take care of both?
"Unfortunately, I have taken two paths." Master Gu said in a faint voice, as if he was talking about gossip, "One is taken from one's own destiny, which is the road of immortality; the other path -"
< br>
There was a slight smile on his thin face, as if he was a little proud, but he stopped talking.
"I heard that Taoist Wuxiang also has two parallel avenues. Ancestor, you don't have to give in too much!" Yu Baili flattered him and asked curiously: "Ancestor, we are not outsiders, why don't we talk about it so that everyone can There’s something good about it, guys!”
As he spoke, Yu Baili looked around at the people around him, looking very impressive, but no one paid any attention to him.
"Zuo is just a way out of the dark fire. You will definitely be stronger than me in the future, so there is no need to say more." Gu Shigu had a slight smile on his face, as if he was remembering the past.
"The ancestor is a genius, but he has been trapped here for eight hundred years. If he could be born and walk along two avenues, there would be no rivals at the same level..." Yu Baili sighed sadly again.
"Two major paths go hand in hand, which is actually not much different from cultivating one alone. It's just that it has a few more methods, which will help you advance, fight against enemies, and even break through in the future. Of course, if the two can be combined into one, , use it as you wish, that is the real invincibility. "Gu Shigu stopped here, and after a while he continued: "As for how to understand the two great ways, you must have seen it when you came. It is useless to talk about the details. You can only understand it yourself. Remember, don’t force it.”
This is about the Bagua diagram on the stone wall.
After Gu Shigu finished speaking, the yin fire on the ground flowed and penetrated into the seven stone niches. The stone niche where he sat alone became darker and darker.
"Ancestor!" Yu Baili's eyes turned red again, "I don't want to forget the kindness of my ancestor in preaching. When I go out in the future, I will definitely inform the elders of my sect and take my ancestor home!"
"The clouds are like a dog, and the years are long." Master Gu's ancient words seemed to become clearer and wiser as he spoke, and a smile of relief appeared on his withered face. I came here hoping to get some advice from Ancestor Qianye, but I didn’t want to. We were besieged by monsters, and we worked together to kill a red-tailed pheasant, a long-toothed tiger, and a black turtle. My old friend died from exhaustion, and I was the only one left alive, but I was trapped in the formation of fallen trees and dead trees. We are so brave that we dare not go to the bottom of the abyss again.”
Gu Shigu was actually somewhat kind. He looked at Yu Baili and said, "If you have the opportunity, tell my junior brothers and sisters at home about what I have experienced."
"Yes!" Yu Baili agreed immediately, and then asked with concern: "Ancestor, can't you solve this great formation of fallen trees and dead trees?"
"Ancestor Qianye left it to protect the relics, how can he take it for granted? I guess that he must also have a double path, and he is trying to follow the path of the Wuxiang Taoist master." Gu Shigu was very kind, "Good boy, It is enough for you to have this heart.”
Yu Baili was silent.
"Old senior preached today, Mu Zhen is grateful!" Mu Zhen saluted and spoke from a distance, "It's just that the door was closed when I came in. I don't know how to leave this place?"
Gu Shigu closed his eyes and said after a long while: "Although this is not a small world, it is also the dojo where ancestor Qianye meditates. It is guarded by four beasts. One leaf is one universe. We are under the leaf and want to go On the leaves, it is difficult and difficult. ”
Mu Zhen frowned slightly, not understanding.
"What does the old man mean, that we can only wait for the leaf to turn over?" Lu Qingyin said.
Gu Shigu opened his eyes and glanced at Lu Qingyin. He didn't say anything, but nodded slightly, as if in praise.
"Old senior, how long will it take?" Wu Muqian asked.
"I don't know." Master Gu said.
This Gu Shigu has been trapped here for eight hundred years as a Nascent Soul, but everyone is in the Golden Core Realm and has a lifespan of five hundred. I am afraid that before he can get over it, he will become a pile of bones.
"That's great!" Only He Wenyao was content with the situation. He looked at Lu Qingyin eagerly, as if he was already planning how to spend his time here in the future. Lin Bai stood in the distance, silently looking at Gu Shigu in the stone niche. The feeling of good and bad luck in his heart became more and more clear, and the wordless stone tablet became more and more warm. It can be seen that the fragments of the stone plate were kept by this person.
As for the danger, except for Yuanying Gu Shigu, Lin Bai was confident that he and Pei Ning could block everyone here.
"Senior, is there no other way but to wait?" Ying Caidi asked, scratching her head.
Gu Shigu squeezed out a smile again, but it was particularly gloomy under the green light of the dark fire. "Maybe there is, but it is just a lot of difficulties. Maybe there will be a turn for the better just like me."
"Ancestor..." Yu Baili was also stunned. He thought for a while, then looked at Mu Zhen and Lin Bai, and then asked: "Ancestor, we got several items left by Ancestor Qianye earlier. Relics, I wonder if you, old man, have seen them.”
"I haven't seen it yet." Master Gu's ancient beard and hair seemed to be stuck to the skin. The wind shook them and became sparse. He said: "At that time, my friends and I fought against the monsters, and accidentally activated the magic circle and gave birth to the stone pillar ladder. Qianye The ancestor’s treasure has just appeared, but we are already trapped in the formation and have no chance to see it.”
When Yu Baili heard this, hope appeared on his face. He looked at Mu Zhen and Lin Bai overjoyed and said: "Fellow Taoist Mu, Taoist Zhuanlun, please take out the relics and let the ancestors have a look, maybe we can know There’s a way to get out of here! I remember there’s a token?”
Mu Zhen smiled and didn't answer, just looked at Lin Bai.
"Unfortunately, it was tight." Lin Bai spread his hands and said helplessly: "That thing was snatched away by Jiang Tiesuo. Although I chased it back, I lost it when I was fighting with the green snake."
Lin Bai was very serious and said seriously: "Although this place is vast, I can thank my predecessors for preaching and teaching. I will look for it carefully! I think I can find it if I search carefully."
Since the sense of danger is extremely strong, the old Xiugu Shigu is probably not simply sealed in the formation. He must have a way to use his magic power.
Lin Bai didn't dare to tease her rashly, but he also didn't dare to hand over the token casually.
Besides, I came here to ask for the fragments of the stone plate, and now it is probably the old cultivator who is guarding the fragments. I am afraid that the two of them can only be enemies, not friends.
When Mu Zhen saw what Lin Bai said, she stepped back knowingly.
When Ying Caidi saw Mu Zhen retreat, she also retreated, muttering something like don't forget the spirit stone.
Lu Qingyin was already very far away, but He Wenyao never left. Wu Muqian was even closer to his new confidant.
"Lin Zhuanlun!" Yu Baili no longer looked like he was begging for mercy before. When he saw everyone clearly wanting to advance and retreat with Lin Zhuanlun, he couldn't help but frown and glare, and said coldly: "Are you lying to a three-year-old child? Even He Wenyao would not believe such nonsense! The ancestor preaches and teaches, but you only care about your own interests, which shows how selfish you are!”
"What does it have to do with me?" He Wenyao was stunned.
"If you want to blame it, it's Jiang Tiesuo. If you had let me keep it earlier, the things wouldn't have been lost." Lin Bai apologized with a smile.
"You..." Yu Baili was anxious when he saw that Lin Zhuanlun was not getting enough oil and salt, but he had seen Lin Bai's method of killing Jiang Tiesuo, and now that his ancestor was still trapped, he really didn't dare to do anything.
"It doesn't matter." Gu Shigu said, his voice became more mellow, and a smile appeared on his goose-skinned face, "I don't have much life left, it doesn't matter whether I look at it or not."
Gu Shigu trembled and took out something from his sleeve, "Child of the Yu family, if you have a chance to go out, you can give this thing to Junior Sister Yu and ask her to pass it on to Master."
The thing he took out was clearly a fragment of the stone plate.
"Yes..." Yu Baili knew that this was an act of entrustment, and his eyes were red. He immediately knelt down, stretched out his hands, and moved forward little by little.
"I also hope that all my friends will remember my missionary sentiments and be kind to my descendants. If you can go out in the future, please don't compete with him for this thing that I have been guarding for eight hundred years." Gu Shigu held the fragment in his hand and looked at it. After a while, he continued: "Even if you fight, don't hurt my child's life. If you can gain something from it, I hope you can help my Xuanji Sect a little."
After speaking sincerely, the fragments of the stone plate were gently thrown out, and then the Yin Fire rose up, holding the fragments, and slowly approached Yu Baili.
He didn't stop until he came to a small stone niche.
"Ancestor, I will definitely send this thing back to the door!" Yu Baili walked forward on his knees and came to the small stone niche. Just as he was about to reach out to pick it up, he saw Yin Fire burst out and immediately turned into countless tentacles.
Yu Baili was immediately enveloped in Yin Fire, and then he was dragged towards Gu Shigu fiercely.
The yin fire was still green, reflecting the strange color on Master Gu's ancient face.
Yu Baili kept howling, but there was nothing he could do. He was quickly pulled in front of Gu Shigu by the Yin Fire.
"Didn't you just want to know what I was building on the other avenue?"
Gu Shigu, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone niche, stretched out his withered and fleshless right hand and pressed it on Yu Baili's head, "My two great ways are to keep the dark fire alive to protect my life, and to light the lamp to continue the day and prolong my life!"
I saw Master Gu's ancient beard and hair turning black and white, his face looking ferocious and terrifying, and he raised his head and laughed.
Yu Baili seemed to be in great pain and howled incessantly.
The two of them were extremely happy and extremely sad, and there were echoes up and down the abyss, which lasted for a long time. Mu Zhen and others were shocked and incomprehensible, and they retreated one after another.
"Go back!" Gu Shigu stretched out his left hand, wanting to grab the fragment of the stone plate, but before the Yin Fire could send it back, he saw that the fragment suddenly broke away from the support of the Yin Fire, and instead penetrated the Yin Fire and crossed the stone niche. It fell into the hands of a young man.
That man clearly had something of the same kind in his hand!
"Sure enough, it is a rare treasure. It has the ability to gather itself!" Master Gu remained the same, only his withered and fleshless face had some blood.
The ferocious and sinister mood is gone, but instead he has a somewhat high-spirited demeanor.
At this time, Yu Baili had no life left, and the Yin Fire swallowed him up completely, turning him into ashes in the blink of an eye. (End of chapter)
