Chapter 398 Return to the Ruins
"Sir, this is Yingzhou Island. Going further, you will reach the foggy sea area." One day later, Lu Yongsi came to Gu Xu's cabin and said to him respectfully, "I When my cultivation is low and I dare not move forward, I can only say goodbye as agreed."
Gu Xu nodded and expressed his gratitude to Lu Yongsi for his recent hospitality.
Then without delaying for a second, he drove the "astrolabe" and disappeared with a "whoosh" sound.
Lu Yongsi was left standing there, looking at the place where he disappeared and making a sound.
At this moment, all the captain could think about was: "Why is there such a huge gap between us as fourth-level monks?"
…………
A moment later, Gu Xu Riding on a narrow wooden boat, he appeared on the sea a hundred miles away.
This small boat was drawn by him using talisman seals and was driven by true energy.
The little white-haired man who called himself the "Qi Ling" was finally released after being locked up for a period of time. He was sitting cross-legged on the "astrology plate" in Gu Xu's hand. On the surface, looking around curiously
"The fog on this sea area is not an ordinary fog," the white-haired man introduced to Gu Xu after seeing the surrounding environment clearly. Judging from the way he shook his head, he seemed to be showing off his knowledge. "It can make people lose their sense of direction, see extremely confusing illusions, and then get lost in it, unable to extricate themselves, and eventually be swallowed by it and become its nourishment.
"Master, you must stick to your heart. , don’t be fooled by it. ”
“I know. "Gu Xu said lightly while reciting the "Pure Heart Mantra".
At this moment, the small apartment where he lived in his previous life appeared in his field of vision - his parents were holding mobile phones, with red eyes. , pacing back and forth anxiously, asking people everywhere about the whereabouts of their missing son.
Gu Xu's heart was filled with ups and downs.
Even if he has a willpower that far exceeds that of ordinary people, when he sees such a scene, he has to say to himself "this is all fake" over and over again in order to control himself to sit still on the boat instead of jumping on it. He went up and said loudly to his parents: "Dad, Mom, I'm here!"
"This fog is much more dangerous than I imagined." He sighed from the bottom of his heart.
After a few seconds, the scene in front of him quietly changed.
What appears in front of you are the bustling streets of Luojing City.
Zhao Changying did not rebel, the ghosts did not break into the "Tianlong Formation", and he did not become a traitor in the eyes of Emperor Tianxing.
He is still the pride of heaven that attracts everyone's attention. He won the crown at the "Luoshui Conference" and everyone watching was shouting his name.
Wearing a pale pink skirt and exquisite embroidered shoes, Shi Xiaohan walked through the dense crowd, jumping towards him like a small animal, his crystal white earlobes slightly red.
"In three days, it will be our wedding," she stepped forward and grabbed Gu Xu's sleeves, lowered her head, and whispered shyly, "Chenxi recently let me read several picture albums. , it's... it's about... Well, can you be gentler when we wait for the wedding that night?"
Seeing her look like this, Gu Xu had the desire to bully her again. impulse.
"This is all false, this is all false, this is all false..."
He chanted it over and over again like a mantra.
The screen changes again.
He found himself in the Imperial City of Daqi, surrounded by red walls and yellow tiles, and was magnificent.
He saw a man in a yellow robe lying on the ground dying with bruises all over his body, looking at him with resentful and fearful eyes.
Although Gu Xu had never seen the other person before, he recognized at a glance that this person was Emperor Tianxing - the "Tai'a Sword" in his hand was broken into two pieces. He was no longer the "No. 1 in the Wilderness" in the past. The momentum of "famous instrument".
At the same time, Gu Xu faintly felt that his body was stronger than imagined, and it seemed that he could crush boulders with just his fists.
"Is this the body of the legendary saint?" he thought.
The shadow that had been lingering in his heart for a long time suddenly dissipated, and he suddenly felt filled with joy. A better life in the future seemed to be beckoning to him. He no longer needs to worry about life expectancy, he can enjoy the happiness of the moment...
"Wake up, this is all fake!"
The remaining rationality in his heart roared at the top of his lungs. road.
Gu Xu suddenly came back to his senses, still feeling frightened.
......In this way, Gu Xu drifted for a long time in the mist without any danger, and he didn't know how far he had drifted.
He finally understood why Lu Yongsi and others were so disdainful of this area and took a detour.
Turns out it's really scary.
It seems to be able to read the deepest desire in a person's heart, or the regret that he most wants to make up for, and manifest it into a dream that he doesn't want to wake up from.
Even a person like Gu Xu, who has always been determined, will find it difficult to extricate himself when faced with such an illusion, hoping that it will become a reality.
Gu Xu took a deep breath, lowered his head, and saw that the little white-haired man on the "astrology chart" seemed to be immersed in the illusion.
Sometimes he puts his hands on his hips, looking majestic and leering in all directions, sometimes he falls down and sighs, recalling the past.
“Wake up.”
Gu Xu tapped twice on the "astrolabe".
The little white-haired man showed an impatient expression: "Don't bother me. Didn't you see that I was drinking with the beauty and admiring the moon?"
After saying that, he pouted, Kissed the air.
Gu Xu shook his head helplessly.
This white-haired villain has a face exactly like him, but he is a pervert.
This made him feel very awkward.
He gathered his spiritual power again and poked the white-haired villain.
This time, the white-haired villain could no longer think of building a barrier to block his attack.
"Ouch!"
He grunted in pain when Gu Xu stabbed him, jumped up from the surface of the "astrolabe", jumped a few inches high, and then fell back lightly.
"Isn't it pleasant to daydream?" Gu Xu looked at him with meaningful eyes.
The white-haired man looked around and let out a long sigh.
"Why did you wake me up?" He said gloomily, "Just now I was fighting with the emperor in all directions, and I was about to unify the upper world, but I was interrupted by you——"
"——Haha, fighting in all directions?" Gu Xu smiled half-heartedly, "Are you fighting a beauty?"
"Oh, you still saw through it." The white-haired villain dejected.
As a weapon spirit, he was unable to stay awake in the mist and illusion. This seemed to embarrass him.
“Look, the waterfall is coming soon!”
Gu Xu stopped joking with him and pointed forward.
The surrounding fog gradually faded away.
The water has also become more turbulent.
Ahead, the dark blue sea that was originally invisible suddenly ended. The gray-blue sky almost occupied their entire field of vision.
Although he couldn't see the waterfall.
But the rumbling sound of water falling from a high altitude shook the sky and made his eardrums hurt.
A fear of the unknown arose in his heart.
“We all call this place ‘Guixu’.” I heard Qi Ling say quietly.
