Chapter 670 Dark Clouds in the Sky
This man in black with missing arms and legs is naturally the clone of Gu Xu who has arrived in the Lingxiao Realm.
In the fierce space storm, he concentrated the power of the "Qiankun" authority to protect Chen Suhui, whose true body came to the Lingxiao world. However, he himself was inevitably exposed to a trace of space turbulence, and his body was Cut it apart.
Fortunately, his body is made of paper.
Just re-draw the arms and legs with paper and stick them back on to restore them to their original appearance.
At this moment, he was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, seemingly unconscious, but in fact he was silently sensing everything happening around him with his consciousness.
According to their original plan, as soon as they arrived in the Lingxiao Realm, they should go to the location of the blood pool of the Demon Immortal Clan to find the Night Emperor, confirm her safety, and let Shi Xiaohan awaken in the blood pool. .
However, Gu Xu has now been separated from Chen Suhui and Jiang Zhaoyue.
Due to the different rules of the world and being far away from his true body, his current power has been suppressed to a certain extent, and he can only exert about 80% of what he had in the wilderness.
Although he could use the dog's tail grass bracelet to sense that Chen Suhui was probably two or three thousand miles away from him in the northwest.
But he lost the cover of the "secret" power of authority, and he didn't know the extent of Taishang Haotian's monitoring of the Lingxiao world, so he didn't dare to act rashly for the time being and went directly to find her.
His current plan is to use the law of cause and effect to conceal his origins, and first disguise himself as a native of the Lingxiao world. This will not only avoid attracting the attention of Taishang Haotian, but also take the opportunity to find out some useful information.
“I’m used to the feeling of omniscience and omnipotence in the wilderness, but it’s really hard to get used to it in this Lingxiao world where everything is out of my control!” He sighed silently in his heart.
Under the influence of the "abduction" spell, the two quarreling children chased each other all the way to the foot of the big tree and "accidentally" discovered him.
Seeing the mutilated appearance of Gu Xu's clone, they were stunned for a moment, and then ran back quickly, shouting: "Mom, eldest mother, there is someone lying under the big banyan tree outside. An old man with only one arm and one leg!”
After a while, a wrinkled old lady and a young woman in her twenties also came here.
They did not doubt the identity of Gu Xu's clone, but regarded him as a poor, injured and homeless man.
One person grabbed his arm and the other grabbed his leg, and together they carefully moved him back to the adobe house where he lived.
Obviously this is a tall man.
But his weight was as light as paper. Two women could lift him easily, even with less effort than lifting their own children.
.........
After a while, Gu Xu slowly opened his eyes on the kang.
He deliberately showed a confused look, rolled his eyes, looked at the surrounding environment carefully, and then asked: "Where is this place?"
"This is Cuiyun. "The village," the old lady replied, "is under the rule of the Qingque Sect."
The Qingque Sect?
Hearing this name, Gu Xu was slightly confused, because this name had never appeared in Emperor Ziwei's memory.
Perhaps this is a new sect that appeared after Emperor Ziwei left?
He pondered for a moment and then asked: "May I ask how big the territory the Qingque Sect has and how many monks it has under its rule?"
The old lady thought for a while and answered. Said: "We don't know exactly how big it is. We only know that the nearby mountains are under its jurisdiction. As for the monks... there must be at least dozens of them. They often fly around above our heads."< br>
“It seems to be a small force.” Gu Xu commented silently in his heart.
After a brief silence, the old lady looked at Gu Xu's broken limbs again: "You are so seriously injured, how will you live your life in the future..."
"Don't worry," Gu Xu smiled, "I am a practitioner. If my hands and feet are broken, they will grow back on their own."
…………
While they were talking, the sun seemed to be obscured by thick dark clouds, and the sky and the earth seemed to be covered by thick clouds. The light suddenly became gloomy, and the room became even darker, as if it had suddenly entered night.
The old lady and the young woman looked at each other, and their expressions became solemn.
It seems that this is not the first time they have experienced such an incident.
"Could it be..." The old lady's voice stopped abruptly.
"Bang!"
Immediately afterwards, a loud noise broke the originally stagnant air in the room, shaking people's hearts.
The dilapidated wooden door of the adobe house was kicked open hard, as if the whole house was shaking violently.
A practitioner wearing a green brocade robe stepped across the threshold with one leg, shouted loudly into the room, and urged: "The emperor is here, why don't you go out and kneel to greet him!"
Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly turned around and left, continuing to go from house to house, knocking on doors and calling people.
After a while, the narrow road in Cuiyun Village was already densely packed with people kneeling on their knees.
They were lying on the ground one by one, their heads buried deep in the soil, and no one dared to raise their heads.
He was afraid that if he moved his neck even slightly, his head would be mercilessly chopped off by the monk holding a sword next to him.
The old lady, the young woman and her two children are no exception.
Gu Xuze was still lying on the kang, silently observing everything happening outside with the help of his consciousness.
When he heard the word "Emperor" just now, he felt a little nervous, fearing that Supreme Haotian would notice his existence and come to visit him personally.
But later, he discovered that it was not Taishang Haotian who came to this remote village in person.
It's just that the "Tiangong" floating island that Jiang Zhaoyue mentioned before happened to fly over Cuiyun Village.
Gu Xu’s perception was blocked by the many restrictions on the floating island.
He could not see the details on the floating island.
I don’t even know if Taishang Haotian himself is on the floating island.
Only its huge inverted triangular rock base can be seen, as well as the surrounding dense clouds and rainbows, as well as the large shadow cast on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the monk in green brocade robes raised a sword with cold light and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and shout long live!"
The civilians in Cuiyun Village shouted in unison: "Long live the Emperor!"
Many of them looked ragged, sallow and thin, looking as if they had eaten one meal and not finished another, but they were still shouting at the top of their lungs like a machine.
"You must remember that with the emperor, you have a happy and peaceful life today!" The monk in green robes lectured loudly from the side, "If there was no emperor, you would probably still be in Zhao and Yu now. Under the oppression of Guo, Guo and other countries, living as a cow or a horse is worse than death..."
The "Tiangong" floating island came quickly and left just as quickly.
The moment it was about to disappear above everyone, something dark seemed to pour down from its side, falling from high altitude to the ground.
As soon as the monk in green walked away, the civilians of Cuiyun Village, regardless of gender, old or young, all ran towards the pile of things that fell from the floating island.
Gu Xu’s consciousness followed them.
…………
The wild world.
Changchun Garden, Imperial Study Room.
Gu Xu, who was dressed in Tsing Yi, and Luo Chuan, who was wearing a crane cloak, sat on both sides of the desk, focusing on the scene in the Lingxiao Realm shown in the bronze mirror on the table.
“The way Taishang Haotian collects incense is really unique!” Gu Xu couldn’t help but sigh.
