Chapter 353: Can’t Escape with Wings
In one thought, the whole world became a still picture. On the picture was a city that had experienced catastrophe, and pictures that were either sad, numb, or... A tired or depressed face.
And Gu Xu is the only dynamic figure in this picture.
He seems to have become an actor, singing a one-man show on the stage, and the whole world is his background.
As soon as "Time" took effect, he then used "Qiankun" to tear apart the space and teleport a few meters away, leaving the scope of the "Liuhe Immortal Formation".
Although after breaking through to the fourth realm, his true energy became much richer than before, but using "Time" and "Qiankun" continuously, the consumption rate is still extremely terrifying.
After leaving the "Liuhe Immortal Formation", he restored his connection with "Xianyunju".
With a thought in his mind, he took out the "astrolabe" and began to use the stars to calculate the orientation and build a space channel.
His destination is Qingyao Mountain northwest of Luojing.
Because his cultivation has not reached the realm of a saint, and the "astrology chart" in his hand is incomplete, the distance of the space channel he constructed is limited, and he can only travel within a range of more than a hundred miles.
The reason why we chose Qingyao Mountain is because it is an area with intertwined valleys, connected peaks, dense forests, and complex terrain, making it easier to hide.
After that, he could consider escaping to the northwest frontier, to the territory of the northwest barbarians, or he could consider fleeing all the way north to Youzhou.
Remembering that a moment ago, Zhao Yan said to him: "You are a Qi minister and I am a rebel. The next time we meet, it will probably be on the battlefield."
Gu Xu couldn't help but have a bitter smile on his face.
Now the two of them have come to the same destination by different routes, and both have become rebels in the eyes of the Qi court.
It can be said that things are unpredictable and fate is unpredictable.
As black ripples rose in the air, the entrance to the space passage quickly appeared in front of Gu Xu.
He finally looked back at the messy city, and then stepped into the space passage.
After his figure completely disappeared, time finally resumed its flow.
Wang Guanyu, the commander of the Imperial Guard, and the silver-armored monks he led also regained their ability to move.
They stared at the place where Gu Xu disappeared, and couldn't believe their eyes for a moment -
How could a living person disappear in the blink of an eye?
Also, Gu Xu is obviously only a fourth-level monk, and his true energy has been sealed. Why can he break through the restrictions of the "Liuhe Immortal Sealing Formation"?
Wang Guanyu really can’t understand.
At this moment, he only felt that his heart was cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Gu Xu is the imperial prisoner named by the emperor to be arrested.
Now the prisoner ran away in front of him.
Although the emperor spends most of his time practicing in seclusion and ignoring political affairs.
But if the emperor finds out about this, he becomes furious and wants to severely punish himself for dereliction of duty... the consequences will be disastrous.
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered his silver-armored monks to go to all directions in Luojing City to surround Gu Xu.
…………
At the same time.
Gu Xu walked out of the space passage and came to the foot of Qingyao Mountain.
At this time, it is the bright spring season, and the foot of the mountain is full of redbud flowers, which look colorful from a distance.
With his current cultivation level, he was unable to continuously construct space passages in a short period of time, so he walked straight towards the deepest and gloomiest place in the forest, intending to find a hidden place to hide and recover first. True Yuan, continue running away.
Gu Xu knew that his escape was a bold gamble.
The bet is not only on his ability to escape, but also on the attitude of Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcist Department, towards him.
He felt that in today's turmoil in Luojing City, Luo Sishou should have played a very important and subtle role - he and Emperor Tianxing were not on the same front, but on the contrary With some other thoughts.
Luo Sishou’s secret deduction technique claims to be able to calculate everything in the world.
If he is really a loyal minister who shares the king's worries and plans to follow Emperor Tianxing's order to arrest him, then Gu Xu is already a snail in an earthen pot - doomed.
But if Luo Sishou really has some other thoughts... then Gu Xu's escape will not be smooth sailing, but it will definitely be a lot easier.
While thinking this, Gu Xu came to the edge of the cliff, took off the jade pendant that recorded the image from his belt, and took out his official uniform, official hat, official seal, and " "God Machine Token" and other items, throw them all into the deep ravine under the cliff.
Although he did not find traces of tracking spells on these things, just in case, he chose to discard these items related to the Da Qi court to prevent anyone from using them to infer him. 's whereabouts.
Watching these items falling into the abyss one after another, Gu Xu felt mixed emotions in his heart. After all, they witnessed his struggle after traveling to this world, and witnessed his gradual growth from an inconspicuous petty official to the youngest sixth-rank official in the Daqi Dynasty, a non-hereditary viscount, and a guest lecturer at Longmen Academy.
I thought that after today's "Luoshui Conference", he would gain glory and rise to the top, then marry his beautiful wife and reach the pinnacle of his life under the spotlight.
However, all of this came to nothing because of a sudden order from Emperor Tianxing.
The past few months have been like a dream.
After throwing away these things that used to symbolize status and honor, but now became fetters, Gu Xu used his skills, turned around and walked quickly in the opposite direction.
Like a ghost, he walked through the dense woods, around to the other side of the mountain, and then got into a narrow cave behind the bushes.
He took out a few talismans from "Xianyunju" and placed a ban at the entrance of the cave to conceal his presence and whereabouts. Then he sat down cross-legged in the cave, took out an "Barrier Breaking Pill" and prepared to stuff it into his mouth. Here, enter the state of practice.
"Obstruction-Breaking Pill" is similar in function to "Jingxin Pill" and "Eternal Brightness Pill". It is a pill used by fourth-level monks to stabilize their minds and prevent the erosion of Yin Qi during their practice.
With Gu Xu's character of always pursuing "preparedness", he had already used his spare merits to exchange many bottles of "Obstacle Breaking Pills" at the Exorcist Department before breaking through.
Now it comes in handy.
He planned to build a space channel again after the true energy was restored, and shuttle to Daimei Mountain further north.
However, before the elixir could enter, he heard the rustling of leaves coming from outside the cave.
Immediately afterwards, with a dazzling golden light, the magic circle outside the cave instantly fell into pieces and lost its effectiveness.
"The people from the imperial court caught up so quickly."
Gu Xu thought as he used "Qiankun" without hesitation and teleported three short distances in a row. Go to the dense forest that blocks out the sky and sun outside the cave.
At this time, he was extremely tired, his true energy was almost exhausted, and he could no longer use "Qiankun" for the fourth time.
But he still held on, borrowing the power of the "astrolabe" to fly through the forest at the speed of stalking the wind.
"He is worthy of being the leader of this year's 'Luoshui Conference'. Even when he is escaping, he is much more chic and handsome than his fellow monks." At this moment, a familiar voice came from beside Gu Xu .
Hearing this voice, Gu Xu immediately stopped.
Because he knew that even if he tried his best, he could not get rid of this person's tracking.
"Mr. He," Gu Xu sighed and said with a wry smile, "This junior is now desperate, so you should stop teasing me like this."
The person who came to hunt him turned out to be He Yiqun, the junior disciple of the Imperial Master of Da Qi, Master Fu Dao, and guest minister of exorcism.
Because He Yiqun awakened the magical power of "Shrinking the Ground to an Inch" when he was promoted to the third realm, he was able to travel hundreds of miles in an instant - not only the activation speed was faster than Gu Xu's space channel, but also the real energy consumed Much less, too.
After being targeted by this person, even if Gu Xu is full of energy, it will be difficult to escape.
It’s just that Gu Xu couldn’t figure it out——
Hasn’t this Mr. He always been a bohemian and free-spirited person who likes to travel around and not even listen to the words of the National Master?
Why did you suddenly have a sudden impulse to come here to hunt for yourself today?
Seemingly aware of the confusion in Gu Xu's eyes, He Yiqun smiled and replied: "I was originally not interested in boring things like catching fugitives. But when someone told me that this fugitive Although he was only at the fourth level, he was able to escape from the Imperial Guard's "Liuhe Immortal Formation", so I became a little curious about this fugitive.
"Now it seems that this trip was indeed worthwhile. .
"But, I am very curious about one thing: Why did the famous proud son of the Daqi Dynasty and the leader of this 'Luoshui Conference' suddenly transform into a fugitive who committed treason?"
“I also want to know why.” Gu Xu spread his hands and said helplessly.
At the same time, he complained in his heart: The curiosity of Lezi people is really poisonous.
After a brief silence, Gu Xu continued to ask: "Since the junior has satisfied Mr. He's curiosity, can Mr. He also satisfy the junior for the sake of the fact that the junior has wings and cannot escape? A little curious?"
"If you have any questions, just ask." He Yiqun said with a smile.
His expression was relaxed and relaxed, as if he was not worried that Gu Xu would escape from his grasp. At the same time, he was also looking forward to how Gu Xu would perform in this desperate situation.
"I want to know how Mr. He tracked my location?" Gu Xu asked, "Did he rely on Luo Sishou's secret deduction skills?"
He Yiqun chuckled and said: "Shou Luo had a fight with Zhao Changying and the Mangshan Ghost King in the palace today. He was seriously injured and is still in a coma. How can he have the strength to deduce your whereabouts?
“I was able to successfully find you because of the method of Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoning. "
"Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoning? "Gu Xu frowned slightly.
He Yiqun's answer was somewhat beyond his expectation.
At the same time, the news about Luo Sishou also made Gu Xu think a lot.
He knew that before Luo Jing's city was destroyed today, some unknown agreement had been reached between Luo Sishou and the Mangshan Ghost King.
Under such circumstances, it is worth pondering that Luo Sishou was "seriously injured and fell into a coma".
