Chapter 327 Paper Crane
Since the Chief Secretary personally said that Bai Chen has no problem, then there really is no problem with him.
Shangguan Jin’s doubts finally dissipated.
She stood behind Luo Sishou, serving him tea and water, playing the role of a personal attendant as usual, while looking up at the light curtain on the Luo River, trying to see from the audience's perspective, Pay attention to the progress of this conference.
Then her eyes froze for a moment.
Because on the light screen, she saw Gu Xu's figure at a glance.
He was walking on a land full of devastation.
Different from her confusion in the secret realm just now, his steps were firm and his eyes were calm, as if he already knew the direction of his destination.
Shangguan Jin sighed softly, sighing silently in his heart: As expected of fellow Taoist Gu, he is so confident no matter what the situation.
Unfortunately, due to her unfortunate defeat today and being forced to withdraw from the conference, she lost the qualification to be his companion - she could no longer look for clues together like the previous "Review Pot" trial. , pass five levels and kill six generals together.
The role was replaced by a younger and more beautiful woman.
Her face was cold and charming, her bright red dress fluttering in the wind, and her whole person looked like a burning flame.
It is in sharp contrast to Gu Xu's simple and elegant green shirt.
Even if Gu Xu used his body skills and walked as fast as flying, she could still follow closely and not fall behind him even half a step.
Shangguan Jin could easily recognize that she was Zhao Yan.
Although Shangguan Jin didn't know how the two met each other in the secret realm, nor did she know the reason why they temporarily put aside their competition and chose to cooperate with each other, but as a senior facial control, she had to say it from the bottom of her heart Admittedly, these two people standing together are very eye-catching. They look like the female temptress playing in the world of mortals and the bewitched handsome scholar in the story.
“I wonder if Gu Daoyou can resist the temptation of beauty.” Shangguan Jin secretly joked.
However, she quickly laughed at herself, thinking that it was now the "Luoshui Conference" that attracted national attention. The other monks probably had a learning attitude and stared attentively at every move of the geniuses on the light screen. He didn't dare to blink in every move; but he was absent-minded and thinking wildly - if others knew about it, he would definitely be laughed at.
"If Gu Daoyou meets that swarthy young man who is good at Feng Shui later, what are the chances of winning?" She narrowed her eyes slightly and brought her mind back to today's topic.
In her opinion, Bai Chen can ignore the rules and suppression of the "Tianlong Secret Realm" and exert the true power of the fifth realm. For other monks in the secret realm, he is definitely a great figure. threats.
To put it in the words of Gu Xu in his previous life, this is like using cheating methods to kill everyone in the game, and other ordinary players cannot be his opponents.
This made Shangguan Jin feel a little worried.
Logically speaking, in this "Luoshui Conference" where everyone's cultivation is suppressed to the same level, Gu Xu, who has mastered many powerful killing moves and has great fighting talent, is definitely the favorite to win the first place. . Shangguan Jin also knew that Gu Xu had practiced hard day and night for this conference and had made great efforts.
But now there is an additional variable like Bai Chen.
The situation at this conference instantly became confusing.
…………
Gu Xu didn’t know what happened in the “Li” area.
After killing several "Fu Zhu" together with Zhao Yan, they finally successfully passed through a devastated "Kan" area and came to a brand new area.
The scenery here is very different from other areas.
They were on the edge of a towering cliff, with an endless sea of clouds in front of them. The clouds and mist rolled like turbulent sea waves.
Above the sea of clouds, there are more than ten huge inverted triangle-shaped rocks floating, like suspended islands. The top of the island is relatively flat with lush vegetation; the sides are extremely steep, and rivers pour down from the cliffs, forming suspended waterfalls.
No need to say more.
After seeing this strange scenery, Zhao Yan had already guessed that this was the "dry" area in the secret realm. She glanced at Gu Xu next to her, feeling a little more admirable and a little afraid of him. She felt that this man's methods were becoming more and more difficult for her to see through.
"Which floating mountain do you think the 'Silver Liquor' will be hidden on?" After pondering for a moment, she asked lightly.
Gu Xu held the copper coin in his hand and was about to do divination.
At this moment, the shrill cry of a baby suddenly came from the depths of the sea of clouds.
Gu Xu felt a shiver in his heart and thought: Could it be that the Da Qi royal family raised a nine-baby snake demon in a secret realm?
A moment later, a huge monster appeared in his field of vision.
It is not a nine-baby snake demon with nine heads, but a monster that looks like a bird but not a bird - it looks like an eagle, but has horns on the top of its head.
Gu Xu recognized that this monster was called "Gu Diao", and it had also become extinct in the outside world.
Before he could take action, Zhao Yan next to her held a spear in her hand and soared into the air.
The tip of her spear flashed with flames, pointing directly at the flying Gu Eagle.
Since the monsters in the secret realm can only be killed by the cooperation of multiple people, Gu Xu naturally cannot stand idly by.
It’s just that Gu Xu currently only has the third level of cultivation, has no natal objects, and has not yet mastered the ability to fly - in this "dry" area where the mountains are suspended, it is difficult for him to get close to the Gu carving and find a suitable spell to cast. Location.
At this time, Zhao Yan also realized this problem.
"I'll bring it over." she said.
It must be said that Gu Xu's previous performance always made her forget his level of cultivation inadvertently.
"No need," Gu Xu smiled, "I have a way."
With a thought in his mind, he took out a folded paper crane from "Xianyunju" - - This is something he created by combining the techniques of "Puppetry" and "Episodes", specially designed to solve today's situation.
He gently threw the paper crane into the air. The paper crane quickly grew in size, then grew feathers, and soon turned into a real crane.
Gu Xu rode on the back of the crane and soared into the air, facing the Gu Eagle from afar.
His clothes are fluttering, and his green shirt rustles in the wind.
This scene naturally appeared on the light curtain in Luoshui.
Seeing the vast sea of clouds, the suspended mountains, and the figure that looked like an immortal riding a crane among the misty clouds, Shangguan Jin's eyes were in a trance for a moment. She really wanted to pick up the paintbrush and record this scenery.
Next to her, Luo Chuan's eyes were deep and thoughtful.
The next moment, Zhao Yan grasped the "Yizhangwei" tightly and rushed towards the Gu Eagle, her whole body was like a burning meteor.
Gu Xu threw out a few pieces of talisman paper lightly, and the talisman paper turned into a rain of fire, covering the Gu sculpture.
The sea of clouds turned into a sea of fire.
