Chapter 9 9. Another life
"Recently, there has been sudden heavy rainfall in the areas around the Taihang Mountains. The rainfall has affected the surrounding provinces and cities in Beijing, Hebei, Shanxi, and Henan. Citizens are asked to reduce going out and pay attention to protecting life and property safety. At the same time, local departments will block high-speed railways, stations and airports at the request of superiors. Highway intersection..."
In the Black Crystal Building, the man pressed the remote control expressionlessly.
He turned around and looked at the people sitting around the long conference table behind him.
These are the elders of the Gu family. These old people have already half-stepped into the grave. They are half lying on chairs, their sagging and yellow skin is drooping, and their eyes are yellow and cloudy. They are cultivating in their ancestral land, relying on the most advanced medical equipment to hold their breath, waiting like lonely ghosts to be buried in this era, so that they can crawl out of the grave and get a new life.
Now, their shovel for a new era has been lost.
So I came to Gu Yan to question him.
"Yan'er, haven't Chu Chu's whereabouts been found yet?" An old man spoke slowly. Although his tone was calm, there was also a hint of impatience.
"The Taihang Mountains are now blocked by heavy rain. Our people who are sent in either get lost and walk around in a circle, or there is no news. The heavy rain has isolated the signal, which is equivalent to being blinded."
"Trash." The old man on crutches chopped the ground hard. His eyes when he looked at Gu Yan were as cold as blades. "How important Chuchu is, you actually let her go to the Taihang Mountains at such a critical moment. Even after losing contact, you don't even know whether the person is dead or alive!"
Gu Yan could only keep his head down and endure the scolding, not daring to show the slightest disrespect on his face.
"Hey, fourth, please take it easy, don't get so angry." Another old man comforted him, "We all know Yan'er's abilities, otherwise we wouldn't dare to leave the family affairs in his hands. I think about Chu Chu's matter. He doesn’t want it to happen more than we do, right?”
The man could only smile bitterly.
"Gu Yan." One of the white-haired old men said in a deep voice.
"Grandpa." Gu Yan nodded. His grandfather was the first among the elders in the clan and was the first person in the clan to notice the changes in the new era. When he opened his mouth, no one else could speak.
"Chu Chu went to Taihang Mountain. She brought the full set of Thirty-Three Absolute Swords, right?"
"Thirty-three Absolute Swords?"
"Chu Chu still carries such ancient artifacts?"
"If you have the Absolute Sword, you don't have to worry about Chu Chu's safety. This is a good thing!"
"Why is she going to Taihang Mountain to use the complete sword?" The old man spoke again, suppressing the astonishment of other clan elders.
"This is also the reason why the elders are invited to come here." Gu Yan said, while sliding his fingers on the translucent screen suspended on the wall, he opened his hand and divided the organized information into several parts and sent them to the elders.
"Nan Zhu?" Someone was confused after reading the message.
"Where are the scales and the book?"
"The books were kept in the company's underground storage room, and the scales were taken away by Chu Chu."
"Is this all the information you know?" the white-haired old man asked.
"Yeah." Gu Yan's answer was a bit bitter. He believed too much in Gu Chuchu's strength and didn't pay attention. At that time, he felt that the girl would soon bring back the big snake she liked, maybe it was a living thing, maybe it was a corpse.
"With the current strength of the rising creatures, it should be difficult to threaten Chu Chu's life. Even if she cannot defeat the opponent, what can stop her from leaving after sacrificing the sword?"
"That's right. I think we don't need to worry too much. Maybe Chu Chu just has an opportunity in Taihang Mountain."
The clan elders were full of confidence, and their dull expressions relaxed.
"Someone in the Zhao and Li families knows that Gu Chuchu went to Taihang, and since then there have been terrible changes in the Taihang Mountains. They are putting pressure on us. Do they need to reveal this information?"
"Okay, reveal something appropriately. Just know it yourself."
As the elders left the meeting, specialized medical staff opened the door and helped them out of the conference room. Gu Yan's grandfather was still standing where he was. He was clad in white clothes, tall and tall, with his white hair loosely scattered and sharp white light floating in his eyes.
"Gu Yan, please wait a moment." The old man stopped the man.
"I have something to tell you."
…………
The mountain rain was hazy, and Li Xi'an was entrenched on the old camphor tree.
In recent days, more and more people have entered the mountain from the outside world.
The heavy rain covers the entire Taihang Mountains continuously, which contains its "spirit". Li Xi'an didn't want those uninvited guests to go deep into the mountains and disturb the life in the mountains. The mountains seemed to be aware of it and helped it bring down this unprecedented heavy rain.
Those who enter by mistake or have ulterior motives will lose their way.
To this day, no less than ten teams have tried to break through the blockade of heavy rain. It was learned from one of them that among the team entering the mountain this time were people from the Li and Zhao families in the imperial capital. In addition, there were also people from the Gu family who were looking for their eldest lady.
Endless.
The big snake breathed out a long breath. Although it was normal for this land to attract human attention as the mountains revived and creatures emerged, this happened too quickly. In addition to the so-called Gu family, there were two other families who wanted to fish in the troubled waters.
The ones sent out now are just ordinary people, but rising creatures may appear in the future. That girl has a long way to go, and if we don't keep it together, someone more powerful will appear. The strength of human beings in the outside world is completely unknown to Li Xi'an.
The candle burned, and Li Xi'an moved his mind.
The sound of the dragon's roar rose and fell, and dozens of ancient swords soared from the mud on the island, gathering into a circle around the old camphor tree. The ancient inscriptions on the seal shone with red light, and the sharp edges fell gently into silk threads.
It was somewhat rewarding, the girl died and the ancient sword became ownerless. The seal script on the sword is a method of lucking spirits left by the predecessors. Use the blood to warm these thirty-three ancient swords, relight these words, and then use the method described in the seal script to transport the spirit.
For the human body, the amount of blood required to hold the ancient sword was terrifying, but Li Xi'an felt nothing when bleeding and soaking the entire ancient sword. The blood of the big snake warms the ancient sword, making these little guys astonishingly fierce. There is a shocking scarlet luster hidden in the edge. I don't know how much more powerful than that day.
The girl is weak and cannot satisfy these ancient swords, so their power is not shown. Now that the owner is a rising creature with a lot of energy, the ancient sword naturally becomes terrifying.
Li Xi'an could feel the excitement of these little guys. He had not drunk fresh flesh and blood for thousands of years, and it was torture for the fierce sword forged with killing. Even if a girl's talent is amazing enough, she is still a prison for them who are thirsty for flesh and blood. The Gu family was worried that the ancient sword would show its evil intentions, so they built a wooden box to suppress its evil intentions.
Now the ancient sword has broken its seal and roams freely in the depths of the mountains.
The sword roared, a roar of comfort.
The originally dark metal ancient sword showed strange red lines, and the strokes looked like dragons and snakes dancing wildly. This is a new seal script. Gu Chuchu had tried hard for several years but still could not get her mark to be engraved on the sword.
Li Xi'an raised his head, and thirty-three swords were instantly inserted from the air into the ground under the old tree. Sword after sword fell, with the old camphor tree as the center, the place became an ancient sword grave.
It's as easy as using your fingers with your arms.
A trace of satisfaction flashed in his golden candle-like eyes.
But the big snake suddenly raised its head.
The news came from the rain, and finally some of them couldn't bear it anymore, and a riser walked into the mountain. He used an unknown technique to block the rain and only brought one person in.
This group of people is not here for Li Xi'an, they are climbing mountains.
The name of the mountain is Wutai.
