Chapter 838: Crystal Soul
Gu Yan raised his head and looked at this extremely prestigious Zixiao real person in Yuyang Prefecture.
In the Tianji Sect, there are only two monks in the infancy stage, in terms of strength, among the top ten factions today, they can almost be regarded as the last place, and even compared to the newly promoted Bixia Sect, their strength on paper is slightly inferior, but as soon as Gu Yan saw this Zixiao Zhenren, he could see that the great faction that has been passed down for 10,000 years, only in terms of its heritage, is not comparable to the current Bixia Sect.
This Zixiao Zhenren, although he was only in the early stage of Yuanying's cultivation, but it seemed that Gu Yan had an unfathomable feeling, as if his true realm was far more than that, this person's cultivation realm was obviously above his senior brother Ziyang. She couldn't help but say: "This Zixiao Zhenren seems to be the real master in the Tianji Gate." ”
The person beside her heard her words and said with honor: "Zixiao Zhenren, that is the idol in the hearts of all the young monks of Yuyang Prefecture. It's not something that Ziyang can compare. ”
Gu Yan was surprised, and listened to that person talk about Zixiao's real person's experience.
This Zixiao Zhenren, born in the Hanmen of Yuyang Prefecture, his qualifications are only in Zhongping, when he was a teenager, he once went to Tianjimen to apprentice, and later had to worship a small and medium-sized sect to cultivate, but he relied on his own diligence, he actually cultivated to the position of the first person in this sect, and then fought with other sects several times, and repeatedly got the opportunity, and finally was able to lead the art to invest in the teacher, worship under the Tianji Gate, and was accepted as a personal disciple by the head of the Tianji Gate at that time, and became the disciple of the current head Ziyang.
When Gu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but be a little speechless, the history of struggle of such a poor disciple. Sure enough, it's legendary. No wonder these people. will regard Zixiao as an idol. After all, those talented and high-ranking young monks were too far away from them. It's Zixiao, who seems to be much closer.
After the Bixia Sect was promoted to the tenth sect of Cangwu, it also knew something about the other nine major factions, but although Zixiao was also listed as a Yuanying, he was one of these people. He is a very mysterious character, and he never appears in front of people, so Gu Yan doesn't know much about him, so he asks: "Since Zixiao is so powerful, why don't you never show up, I rarely hear any trace of him in Cangwu." ”
The man said quite smugly: "It is said that Zixiao Zhenren is refining a secret technique of the Heavenly Machine Gate, and cultivating this secret technique requires great perseverance and perseverance. It is extremely difficult to achieve without hundreds of years of hard work. Now Zixiao real people suddenly appeared. Presumably, his exercises have already been completed. ”
Gu Yan smiled and said nothing, this was similar to the news she had heard, but the credibility was too poor. If you want to come to such a casual cultivation, it is impossible to understand the secrets of the Heavenly Machine Gate.
She was still thinking about it, when the man hurriedly said, "Why don't you leave?" He said as he flew backwards as he could.
Only then did Gu Yan realize that the monks who had gathered around him had already retreated cleanly, and on the side of the Miluo River, there was only a large white land left, and only a few people were left, and their movements were still slow, and they had not yet retreated into the distance.
That Zixiao Zhenren, at this time, his face looked extremely solemn, he looked at the river intently, and suddenly with a wave of his big sleeves, those rivers rose up like a swirling xiangshang, and the waves several zhang high rushed up like a giant mountain, completely submerging all the land by the river at once.
The monks who had not had time to retreat were immediately drowned in the tide, and bursts of screams were heard.
In the tide, it seemed to have a strong impact force, which broke many people's tendons and fractures, and some people were even smashed into a ball of flesh and blood because of insufficient cultivation. But Zixiao was silent, as if he had never seen these scenes in front of him.
Gu Yan sighed softly, this Zixiao Zhenren is worthy of a humble monk who has risen from the bottom, and his heart is really like iron stone. Although Gu Yan is also a casual cultivator, he doesn't have a cold heart like him.
At this time, the waves that were more than ten zhang high had already hit her face, and the monk behind her was so frightened that her feet were so weak that she couldn't move her steps, and Gu Yan even faintly felt that in the waves, there was an extremely murderous aura hidden, which made the hairs on her body stand up.
In this tide, what other foreign objects are there?
With a flick of Gu Yan's long sleeves, a golden glow swelled up, as if an invisible embankment had been built in front of her, and then ten thousand golden rays flew out of Gu Yan's hand, and he heard an angry roar from the tide, and Gu Yan had already grabbed the monk behind him and flew backwards.
What she issued was the nineteen Xuannu needles she had obtained from the Ziluo Gorge. At this time, she didn't want to use the Qibao Golden Tower, so the movement summoned was too big, so she used a small trick to get out of the tide with the power of the Xuannu needle.
She took the monk with her, and instead of going far, she flew to a high hill a few miles away, and stood there, watching the movement on the Miluo River from afar.
The monk stood behind Gu Yan and said in shock: "This is the 'ghost tide' of the Miluo River, no wonder Zixiao Zhenren will drive everyone away, those monks who didn't have time to leave, this time it's unlucky!" ”
Gu Yan frowned and said, "What is the ghost tide?" ”
The monk said: "I heard that before the wet and soft river, there were several major repairs in the infancy of the Yuan Dynasty, after their bodies died, the spirit did not disperse, gathered here, and they cried every night. Every year on the fifteenth day of July, when the moon is full, there will be a ghost tide, the river stretches for hundreds of feet, can swallow all the surrounding places that can spread, and its power is so strong that non-Yuan infant monks cannot get out of trouble. However, today is not the fifteenth day of July, how can there be a ghost tide......"
As he spoke, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and his mouth opened wide all of a sudden, "Then you ......" He suddenly knelt down and said loudly, "Yuyang Prefecture Sanxiu Xin Fourteen to visit, I don't know which ancestor is coming?" ”
Gu Yan couldn't help but smile, and brushed him up with a wave of his sleeves, "You don't have to be so polite, I'm Gu Yan from the southeast, and this time I'm going to Qianzhang Snow Peak, so I'm here to spend the Miluo River." ”
She said her name, and Xin Shixi's eyes showed even more reverence. If you say Zixiao is a real person. It is the word of the idol in the hearts of all the monks in Yuyang Prefecture. Then Gu Yan can be said to be a saint in the heart of the whole world. She came to Cangwu as a person, laid such a large foundation with one hand, and supported the Bixia Sect, which was able to squeeze into the forest of the ten major sects in Cangwu, such a legendary figure in their hearts. Probably only during the Dao Demon War 10,000 years ago, those amazing and brilliant characters can be compared.
Gu Yan said with a smile: "You are too famous, now this place is dangerous, you better leave quickly, I will stop for a while to see what is going on the Miluo River." ”
Xin Shishi gritted his teeth, he took a deep breath, and suddenly said in his heart: "In the lower body, he is a casual cultivator in Yuyang Prefecture. I have longed for Bixia Sect for a long time, and I can see the ancestor today. But please include it under the doorway! ”
Gu Yan was a little surprised, but now in the cangwu, there are more disciples who want to worship the Bixia Sect, so she doesn't take it seriously, but she just wants to worship under her door, it is not an easy thing, she groaned slightly, and then said: "If you have this heart, you can go to the Bixia Sect to join the master, just start from the bottom disciples, and you want to worship my door wall, let's talk about it later." She casually took a jade talisman and handed it to Xin Shixi, asking him to go to the Bixia Sect by himself.
Xin 14 took the jade talisman and went with a thousand thanks.
Gu Yan only regarded this as a small thing that could not be smaller, and left it behind. Speaking of which, she rarely easily introduces people to the Bixia Sect, but after saying a few words here today, she feels that she has a bit of a relationship with this loose cultivation. Even if it's an opportunity that I gave him.
At this time, the monks by the river had retreated cleanly, and the monks who did not have time to retreat were also swallowed up by the tide.
At this time, Zixiao took out a long, duckbill-like utensil from his sleeve, which was shining with golden light, and countless seals were also engraved.
Gu Yan's heart said silently: "Tiangong pliers! ”
The Tiangong pliers in Zixiao's hand and the Tiangong hammer in her hand are both holy relics of the refining tools in the Tianji Gate. At that time, the Tianji patriarch of the Tianji Gate Creation School, before practicing, was a blacksmith, and later he searched all over the cangwu, looking for heavenly materials and earth treasures, and refined this tong and hammer, as the treasure inherited in the Tianji Gate. The two converge, and it is said that even the best magic weapon can be refined.
But this is just a legend, at least now that the Tianjimen talent has withered, there are very few people who can play the effect of these two magic weapons. It is precisely because of this that Ziyang Zhenren back then, after falling into the hands of Gu Yan, used this heavenly hammer to exonerate himself.
In the past ten years, Gu Yan has used the Heavenly Hammer to refine the puppet, which is quite effective with half the effort, but I don't know if the convergence of these two magic weapons can make his puppet technique go further?
She was thinking wildly, at this time, the water flow on the Miluo River had become more and more turbulent, and the rows of waves were erected like huge door panels, blocking Zixiao, in the water, there was a faint roar, Gu Yan's brows moved, she guessed really well, there must be a foreign object in the Miluo River!
What kind of demon cultivation spirit and the like, as soon as I hear it, it is used to deceive people, only those fools and fools believe it, but now it seems that the foreign objects in the river are only afraid that they will not be able to get rid of the Tianji Gate.
Gu Yan's brows couldn't help frowning, although her itinerary was not urgent, but if she wanted to go to the Qianzhang Snow Peak of Chaoyin Country, she had to pass the Miluo River in front of her, so she didn't know how many days it would be delayed, and besides, she had a holiday with Tianjimen, she hesitated for a moment, but still didn't leave immediately, but watched Zixiao's movements here.
Although surrounded by countless tides, Zi Xiao did not look so panicked, his eyes were blazing, his chest had almost turned purple red at this time, and his sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate all the tides, and suddenly he picked up the heavenly tongs with one hand, and came out towards the tide, shouting: "Evil animal, come out!" ”
As soon as the Tiangong pliers reached into the water, the surging waves suddenly subsided, and an extremely miserable scream sounded, making Gu Yan's eardrums buzz, and immediately, a strange-shaped monster the size of a millstone had been caught out of the tide by Zixiao.
This monster has tentacles on its body, which looks a bit like an octopus, but it also carries a huge carapace on its back, which is strangely shaped and nondescript. After this monster was captured by Zixiao. The surging river suddenly stopped.
Gu Yan said: "Zhu Sturgeon? "This is a demon beast with ancient blood!
Ning Fengzi, who was squatting in the chaotic space, quietly poked his head out at this time. She sighed: "What a big sturgeon, I'm afraid it has a lifespan of thousands of years, for so many years, it has been hiding in the Miluo River, but I don't know how many people's bones it has eaten!" ”
Gu Yan's brows furrowed tightly.
The sturgeon is said to be a demon beast with a trace of dragon blood, although it has gone through so many years. That trace of blood, I don't know how many times it has been diluted, it is already close to nothingness, but after all, the descendants of the divine dragon are not fake, it is born to manipulate the spiritual power of water, turning the river and the sea, in comparison, making a hundred zhang high river tide is just a small meaning.
What a demon cultivation spirit. It's just a rumor, really hiding in the Miluo River and eating people. Probably such a sturgeon!
The habit of the sturgeon is a bit peculiar, although it is also like an ordinary demon beast, it likes to devour human monks for a living, but he specializes in gnawing the white bones of monks, and leaving the flesh and blood, and the monks who are swept by it have all the bones on their bodies being sucked away, but only a pile of rotten meat remains. This sturgeon has been growing here for at least a thousand years, and I don't know how many monks' corpses are buried in this Miluo River.
It seems that Tianjimen should know about this, this Zixiao real person, is he going to kill demons and eliminate harm for the people?
If this is the case, this Zixiao Zhenren is much more upright than his senior brother.
Zixiao used the Tiangong pliers in his hand to clamp the sturgeon tightly. On its round and flat body, dozens of tentacles were constantly churning around, spurting out countless black juices in the air, which looked extremely fishy, and seemed to dye half of the sky ink.
The white Dao robe on Zixiao's body was also stained with a large trace of ink, but one of his hands, with green tendons exposed, still firmly grasped the Tiangong pliers and refused to let go.
Suddenly, he broke off his drink, grabbed the sturgeon, and rushed towards the bottom of the Miluo River. In an instant, this man and beast were submerged in the turbulent river.
Gu Yan was slightly stunned, and at this time Ning Fengzi had already said, "You still haven't chased after you?" ”
She knocked on the back of Gu Yan's head, "You forgot, Zhu Yaojing is on Zhu Sturgeon's body!" ”
This sentence immediately reminded Gu Yan, and she flew up, and then followed behind Zixiao and disappeared into the river together.
Zhu Yaojing is a unique thing on Zhu Sturgeon's body, it is a spar that is collected by the essence of Zhu Sturgeon's whole body, and it is a spar refined in the body, which is condensed by the rotten qi of those white bones that it devours, and then mixed with the blazing yang qi in the body, which is different from the Yuan Dan of the usual demon beasts, this is a real spade.
On the body of the demon beast, can condense the spar, there is no one in ten thousand, the sturgeon can be said to be an extremely rare species, its whole body of fur and flesh, in the eyes of the monks, are useless, the ancient monks had hunted the sturgeon, for the sake of this piece of Zhu Yaojing on its body. As a result, the sturgeon has become almost extinct in modern times. I don't know why, this one was born in the Miluo River.
But Zhu Yaojing is quite useful to Gu Yan.
She learned the ancient puppet technique contained in the purple ink testament, if you want to refine the puppet of the Yuan Infant Stage, you must have a crystal soul in hand, but in the current immortal cultivation world, even the soul stone is hard to find, where is she going to go to find the crystal soul?
And the Zhu Yaojing condensed on the body of the Zhu Sturgeon has the quality of a spar and the soul of the Zhu Sturgeon, compared to the crystal soul, this Zhu Yaojing may be more suitable.
Now that the crystal soul is hard to find, with such hope, Gu Yan has to give it a try.
Therefore, she did not hesitate and plunged towards the Miluo River.
After plunging into the bottom of the Miluo River, Gu Yan found that this place was actually a clear and unique world. Under the river, countless fish swim leisurely, and the white sand is filled with water, like a fairyland.
Gu Yan stepped on his feet, and he felt the ground creaking, and Ning Fengzi suddenly screamed, "My God, what is this!" ”
Gu Yan looked down and couldn't help but be startled, under their feet, there were layers of white bones, and they didn't know how many layers had been piled up. Obviously, this is all the stuff that the sturgeon excreted after eating the monk's bones.
After turning around in its stomach, the white bones that were excreted again were no longer the shape of the white bones before, but the layers of white bones were almost covered with the ground, which still made Gu Yan look disgusting.
Ning Fengzi jumped onto Gu Yan's shoulder and covered his nose with his hand. kept saying, "It really stinks." This kind of thing. It should have been killed a long time ago, how could it have been allowed to live for so many years? ”
Gu Yan couldn't help but wonder, not knowing what the connection was between stinky and damned.
She looked around and found that the river was very calm, and Zixiao and the sturgeon that had rushed into the water earlier did not know where they had gone. From time to time, there are patches of seaweed floating around, as well as large coral trees, which are jeweled. It looks extraordinarily beautiful.
But at this time, she didn't bother to take a closer look, and said, "Fengzi, take the Zhu Yan Mirror!" ”
Ning Fengzi took out the Zhuyan mirror and hung it above his head, the entire river was covered with a layer of silver light, and at this time, in the distance, suddenly there was a roar, Gu Yan's whole body was shocked, and she couldn't help but raise the heavenly hammer in her hand.
On the golden hammer head, there was a sound of "Zheng". It seemed that there seemed to be a golden five-pointed star flickering in the sky, and Gu Yan's figure quickly retreated. With his hand raised, a seven-colored rainbow rose forward, and suddenly separated the river in front of him from himself, as if an invisible embankment had been built.
Just when this embankment was just erected, a loud bang came, and a huge and incomparable force rushed to the front of him, but it was forcibly blocked by the Qibao Golden Tower, not far in front of Gu Yan, revealing Zixiao's figure, he was holding the Tiangong pliers in one hand, and his robe was like ink, but that temperament never changed, he glanced at Gu Yan, and said in surprise: "How can you have a heavenly hammer?" ”
He looked at the Tiangong hammer in Gu Yan's hand, and his eyes gradually became cold: "Are you Gu Yan?" ”
Gu Yan could see clearly that on his heavenly tongs, there were mottled bloodstains, as if he had just experienced a big battle. And the sturgeon that was originally holding him didn't know where to run at this time. And Zixiao's gaze revealed an extreme chill, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
She said lightly: "Yes, Your Excellency is Zixiao Zhenren?" ”
Zixiao's brows stretched slightly, "I once heard the disciples in the sect say that Gu Yan of the Bixia Sect is the leader among the younger generation of disciples in Cangwu, and when I see it today, I see." ”
In his tone, there was a bit of a joking tone, and he couldn't tell whether it was praise or depreciation, Gu Yan said lightly: "It's all praised by others, and it's too famous." ”
In her heart, she was thinking quickly at this time, it seemed that this Zixiao Zhenren had really not been out of the Heavenly Machine Gate for hundreds of years, even the last time the wind rose in Ziluo Gorge, when the Xuanmen and the Demon Gate were fighting, he was not there, was he really studying the secret art in the door? So, when he came to Miluo River this time and used the treasure of his own sect to deal with this sturgeon, was it to kill demons and demons, or did he have other plans?
Zixiao had already said at this time: "Senior Brother Ziyang, I lent you this heavenly hammer, and now it has been more than ten years, and this heavenly hammer should also be returned!" ”
After speaking, he raised the Tiangong hammer in his hand and pointed at Gu Yan from afar, his tall body stood there, at this moment, he actually had a little bit of the courage to look at the world.
Gu Yan said lightly: "This heavenly hammer was borrowed by me from Senior Brother Ling, and if I want to ask for it, it should be him himself. ”
A smile appeared at the corner of Zixiao's mouth, and the tips of his eyebrows suddenly became cold, "This is a legacy of the ancestor of this sect, how can it fall into the hands of outsiders?" He held up the heavenly pliers, struck them heavily with his fingers, and shouted, "Return!" ”
Gu Yan suddenly felt dizzy in her brain, and the Tiangong hammer in her hand actually involuntarily took off her hand and flew up, in her brain, as if there were thousands of whirlpools about to explode at the same time, and she had a splitting headache for a while.
Zixiao's cold face did not have a trace of a smile, he held the pliers with one hand, and the Tiangong Hammer was far away, and after the Tiangong Hammer flew up from Gu Yan's hand, it broke through the air and wanted to fly in this direction towards him.
At this time, the Zhu Yan mirror on the top of Gu Yan's head made a sound of "Zheng", which made the chaotic image in her mind calm down at once, and the invisible embankment transformed by the Seven Treasures Golden Tower, the seven-colored brilliance of the Heavenly Hammer, which had already flown out of her hand, was forcibly stopped in place.
Gu Yan said lightly: "Your Excellency is now facing a great enemy, why do you still have a battle with me?" (To be continued.) )
