Chapter 579: Phantom Sword Spirit Banner
The nine peaks of the tripod slowly stopped turning, and then fell to the ground, the nine white lights flew up from the tripod on their own, and then turned into a huge five flags in the air. Gu Yan beckoned, and automatically flew into her sleeve.
At this time, her face was still white from the excessive use of true qi, and she whispered, "Just call you-Phantom Sword Spirit Banner." β
The true qi in the body faded like a tide at this moment, and the consequences of excessive use of spiritual energy were fully manifested at this moment. If it weren't for Gu Yan realizing that something was wrong just now, and forcibly mobilizing the purple gold aura in the chaotic space, not only would this magic weapon not only be condensed because of the aura, but I am afraid that even the Nine Peaks Ding would burst because of the conflict of the aura, destroying this treasure of his own!
Gu Yan let out a sigh of relief, although this time it was thrilling, but compared to the experience in the heart of the earth, it was still far behind, she took out half a Heavenly Pill and swallowed it quickly, knowing that if she didn't recuperate for a few days, she was afraid that she would not be able to recover as before. Although the injury was fine, Gu Yan's brows were deeply locked, just now, what was going on?
Just when she was urging the very Danhuo, in the dantian, this slight stab was enough to make her true yuan catharsis, but she had arranged a three-layer formation here, and there was a nine-peak tripod bodyguard, who could enter through this stab silently?
At the moment when she was attacked just now, her divine thoughts activated on their own, instantly enveloping the surroundings, and no human traces were found. With her self-confidence, even a monk who has attained perfection cannot escape under her divine thoughts, unless it is a monk with a primordial infant, who is miles away and pierces her chamber with sword qi, could it be that there is a sword venerable who is secretly attacking?
Gu Yan immediately abandoned her idea, although she was now in the Hidden Sword Villa, with her relationship with Su Manjian. It seems that the four Sword Venerables have no need to make a move on themselves.
She closed her eyes slightly, sat upright on the couch, and mobilized the golden pill in her body. The aura slowly radiated around the meridians.
The golden pill cultivated by Gu Yan was only the size of a thumb belly in her dantian, which was far more condensed than the golden pill of ordinary monks. For this golden pill. She didn't know how much hard work she had paid, condensed the meridians, and became a pill for the second time, and at this moment finally showed a power that was different from ordinary people.
The extremely small golden pill seemed to contain a larger liliang, countless spiritual qi rushed around, and every meridian in the body was delicate, Gu Yan suddenly let out a "huh", she found the place in the wind pool on the back of her head. There seems to be a hint of gray-white breath, which is lurking quietly there. It was only when a large amount of spiritual energy rushed by that there was a faint trace of pain there.
But it hurts. But it was extremely long, and it was transmitted rapidly along the meridians, until the dantian was at its peak, and it subsided after a while.
When he was condensing the magic weapon, countless spiritual qi rushed out, and the pain must have been more intense, so that thorn was formed in the dantian.
This gray-white aura is extremely deep in the wind pool, if it weren't for Gu Yan's continuous abundance. With so much aura impacting the body veins, it will not show this trace.
Gu Yan slowly forced the aura in his body over, and the gray-white aura gave people a very strange feeling, like a worm, writhing constantly. Slippery hands like loaches.
Gu Yan snorted, and all the aura suddenly rushed towards the place quickly, and in an instant, it was like ten thousand needles gathering thorns, and it quickly pierced down towards the trick there.
"Hmm!" She let out a muffled snort, and the intense pain instantly enveloped her body, but after a few advances in pain, it was still within the range she could bear.
Then the violet heavenly fire was mobilized by her, and began to practice in the acupoint of the wind pool, a trace of flame, slowly grinding her acupoint, such a pain, lasted for three hours.
When the sweat as big as a soybean was already covered with Gu Yan's forehead, and the bed under her was also wet with sweat, the inexplicable gray aura was finally completely refined by her, leaving no trace.
Gu Yan let out a sigh of relief, and at the same time, a cold air quietly rose.
This gray qi lurks in her acupoint, and it will not attack until a certain moment, if it weren't for her condensing the magic weapon with fierce aura and fire spirit today, it wouldn't have revealed such a gap under the agitation of countless spiritual qi, so that she could discover it.
If it is when fighting with others, this inexplicable qi suddenly attacks, even if it is only for a short moment, but when it is a life and death fight, it is enough to make oneself die a hundred times.
She thought back to this gray-white aura, and her face slowly showed coldness, "Could it be that this is Gu poison?" β
Whether it is the Shenzhou Continent where she originally stayed, or the current Cangwu Land, the two Dao and Demon families, the ultimate goal of everyone's pursuit is immortality, but the methods are different, so the magic recipes, secret treasures, elixirs, etc. are endless, but those various side door techniques have gradually lost their inheritance, including the technique of Gu Xia.
The so-called Gu poison is actually a poisonous insect, after being practiced by people with secret methods, the Dharma body is dissolved, leaving only the Yuan Shen, supplemented by various poisons, silently descending into the monk's body, it will lurk in the hole, and when the Gu people give the order, it suddenly erupts. There are at least hundreds or thousands of types of Gu poisons, each with a different formula and different effects. Some will suddenly erupt and cause death, while others will just make people go mad and live rather than die. Some will destroy the tricks in the human body, and some will use Gu masters, and even use Gu poison to help cultivate and help break through the realm, which is "skill and close to the Tao".
When Gu Yan was in Luodi before, he had heard Ming Wufu mention Gu poison, but then he came to Guixu Sea, and then to Cangwu, and he never really saw it. According to him, Gu poison is just a small technique, not a real immortal method, and now it is probably only overseas that a small number of wild clans will inherit it. When Gu Yan was in Chi Lian Peak, he had nothing to do, and he had mentioned it to Ye Chi Lian, but he had only heard of his name, and he had never seen it.
Gu Yan could conclude that when she woke up in the Hidden Sword Villa, there was no trace of this line of Gu poison in her body. If someone is tricked, then the only place can only be in Gusu City!
But she walked three places in Gusu City and met countless people. Who is the one who did it?
Is it the mysterious owner of the lotus pond, Shi Jiemei, who once deceived himself?
Or is it a Wuji son who has an enmity with himself?
Or is it the sudden Xiuning Island Lord Du Qu, who saw that he had Xuanjing on his body and wanted to plot, so he took precautions and put Gu on his body?
Or is it that the mysterious green-robed guest takes his cultivation as the realm. Even if it is Gu on his body, he will definitely not be able to detect the slightest trace.
Even Xuanzhen, the Lord of the Seven Cities, would he hold a grudge because of the fact that he had lost his face ruthlessly?
Gu Yan thought about his head too big, and suddenly felt that after walking in Gusu City, it would not be a safe place around him. This feeling of not being able to control all the unknown changes in himself made Gu Yan very uncomfortable. It's as if there is an invisible enemy. It was in the dark, silently peering at itself, as if it were unaware.
Never mind. It's a big deal that the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will flood the earth. Before the enemy arrived, his mood was already in turmoil, which is not a good phenomenon. Gu Yan found that since he arrived at the Tibetan Sword Villa, he probably had seen too many masters, and in his state of mind, he was no longer as calm and confident as before. This is not a sign of haode for one's own cultivation.
This is probably the only path that a monk has to go through when he goes to another realm. Gu Yan shook his head and stopped thinking about it. She looked around. It's getting late outside, and at this time, no one should bother you. She threw out the spar and laid a magic circle around her, and with a wave of her hand, the five flags suddenly moved silently around her. The silver-white sword light flew in the air, firmly covering the surroundings, and she sat upright on the couch, absorbing the aura in the space with all her heart, nourishing her meridians, and recovering her original injuries.
This injury is actually nothing, but for Gu Yan, her last injury has not fully recovered, this time she has to be cautious, so as not to hurt her vitality and regret it in the future, she rested in the house for three more days.
During this period, she also immersed her divine thoughts into the chaotic space, and looked at Xiao Jiang, who had turned into a golden cocoon.
Xiao Jiang still stayed quietly in the space, and the vast chaotic space like the universe provided it with extremely sufficient aura, and the cocoon, which was originally just a pale golden cocoon, slowly became thicker, and it was impossible to see the situation inside at all.
Sometimes he would run over curiously and touch the shell of the cocoon with his little paws, as if wondering how his good friend who had been playing with him had suddenly changed here. The promotion of the spirit beast seemed to be an incomprehensible thing for it, a little beast without any spiritual energy.
Gu Yan came in to take a look, and when he saw that Xiao Jiang's condition was stable, he was relieved. She looked at the Xuanjing that she had stored in the chaotic space again, this thing, it was better to put it away first.
When Gu Yan's injuries were gone, he opened the door of the house, only to find that more than half a month had passed, and Su Manjian had come to see her twice, and when he saw that she was still in retreat, he didn't bother. Gu Yan put away the Phantom Sword Spirit Flag, walked out of the courtyard gate, and took a long breath. Seeing that the sky was just right, Shen Mengli and Sheng Hualan on the left had already come together.
This time, there were only the two of them, Gu Yan's heart moved slightly, was Shen Mengli waiting for him on purpose?
But it doesn't look like the two of them, they talk and laugh while walking, and they have the meaning of traveling together, but this place is not big, even Gu Yan has walked through it several times, how can there be any scenery to swim?
Shen Mengli saw Gu Yan go out, and said with a smile: "When Fairy Gu came back from Gusu City, he retreated for many days and never saw him. β
Sheng Hualan grinned, obviously very disdainful of the five flags that Gu Yan obtained.
Gu Yan smiled and didn't answer, since she experienced Fang Shuo's incident, she had always been a little wary of Shen Mengli in her heart. I always feel that this person always seems to be a little far-sighted, and people can't help but have to have an extra heart.
She diverted the conversation and said, "Why is it only the two of you, Brother Fang and Senior Sister Qin, and that Miss Jiang?" β
Sheng Hualan pouted, "I don't know what's going on with you people from Yunze, you are a petty family, and you don't seem to be able to see people." The old man stayed in the door all day long, as if he was afraid that someone would trouble him. That kid surnamed Qin is still a teenager, and he follows Jiang Yaojia's ass all day long, is she Yunshang Valley. Can you still manage Yun Ze's affairs? β
Gu Yan smiled and said nothing, Qin Feng's mentality was probably similar to Wei Jue's Yu Su Manjian back then, but Wei Jue at that time still had the identity of a disciple of the Danding faction. And Qin Feng is not even the heir of the Qin family now. Even if the Qin family was in Yunze as they were back then, in the eyes of the people in Yunshang Valley, it was probably nothing.
Shen Mengli smiled: "If you don't go with Miss Jiang, aren't you allowed to call someone else?" He turned his head to Gu Yan and said, "Miss Qin got a bundle of dazzling gold threads in the Heavenly Pavilion, which she wants to use to refine her Flowing Cloud Needle, and she has been closed recently. Xiao Fang is the same, he wants to sacrifice his half of the gourd black gold sand. Speaking of which, it's thanks to you. If you hadn't relieved him that day, this matter would not have been so easy. By the way, I don't know who gave the Blue Sky Order? β
Shen Mengli was talking, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and he exchanged eyebrows with Sheng Hualan. It seemed to be asked casually, but Gu Yan's heart jumped, and she felt it keenly. This is the sentence that Shen Mengli wants to ask most after going around for a long time!
Naturally, she wouldn't fall for him, and said lightly: "It's nothing, when I was in Yunze, I once met with Shi Jiemei's old pavilion master, and at that time he was still a monk of Yudan, and that token was also given to me by him." She said silently in her heart, Mr. Shi, who told you to lie to me once. This time, you can help me carry this black cauldron. That night in Gusu City, a meeting with the owner of the lotus pond under the moon, as if it was a secret that only existed between the two of them, Gu Yan didn't want to mention it to anyone.
Shen Mengli smiled and said, "I see. It was a big chance back then. He put the matter aside and didn't mention it again, and said: "There is only more than a month left before the sword washing pool reopens, I don't know if the girl is ready?" β
Gu Yan shook his head, "I'm new here, and I'd like to hear more about it." β
Shen Mengli was just about to speak, Sheng Hualan had already pulled his arm and said, "Senior Brother Shen, aren't you going to go with me to the mountains behind Tiger Hill, it's not early, why don't you leave?" β
She made a slight anger and anger, her face was like a flower, and she had a unique style, and pulled Shen Mengli away, as if she didn't like Shen Mengli to talk to Gu Yan more.
Gu Yan didn't care, Su Man Arrow would tell her about these things. She walked slowly to the front hall, and along the way, there were also many disciples of the Tibetan Sword Villa talking to her, and the Yunting Sword Venerable said that many female disciples in the Tibetan Sword Villa were very curious about her, but it was indeed not a lie, at least Gu Yan had seen the curiosity in the eyes of many people along the way.
Gu Yan arrived at the side hall in front, which is also the main place of the Tibetan Sword Villa, met Xuanguang Zhenren, and talked about it briefly, Xuanguang Zhenren let her rest for a long time, waiting for the day of washing the sword pool, not seeing her for more than ten days, I don't know if it is Gu Yan's illusion, I feel that this big disciple of Yunchi Sword Venerable is a little more kind to him. Xuanguang Zhenren also said: "Enter the sword pool, the cold inside is extremely heavy, although you have a fire spirit root, but the sword qi is too strong, in order to avoid damage to the meridians, you must prepare the jade bone pill first, according to the rule, each sect prepares its own, I don't know if you have it?" β
Tibetan Sword Villa has been in the Hidden Sword Villa for tens of thousands of years, and this is the first time that the Sword Washing Pool has been opened to people outside the Nine Great Sects. After all, an elixir like the Jade Bone Pill is a supreme elixir that resists external anger and protects one's own meridians, and it is definitely not something that a sect like Bixia Sect can take. What he meant, if Gu Yan didn't have it, the Hidden Sword Villa could provide it.
Gu Yan thought to himself: I don't know if Qin Feng and Yue Jiuxi also have this treatment? However, although the Jade Bone Pill is rare, in the hands of Gu Yan, an alchemist, it is not an unusual thing, she bowed her head slightly, "I am prepared below, I don't dare to ask real people." β
Xuanguang Zhenren nodded, and ordered her to go by herself. zuihou also said: "In addition to washing the sword pool in this gate, there is also a place to see the sword hall, my master once said, in the Tibetan Sword Villa, except for the three sword masters of the Qing cultivation place, the rest can be opened, and there is no forbidden land, the fairy has time, you can look at it." β
Gu Yan thanked him and resigned, still wondering in his heart, what did Xuanguang Zhenren mean by this. She also heard Su Manjian talk about it in the Sword Trial Hall, that is the place where the classics of the Tibetan Sword Villa are stored, and the secret technique of the origin of the Dao Dharma, a place like this, even if it is an ordinary sect, will cherish itself with a broomstick, and will not look at people easily, how can it be open to a few people?
Gu Yan would not be naΓ―ve to think that because she won the top spot in the Yunze competition, Yunchi Sword Venerable would be extraordinarily gracious and give herself such a great favor. It's just that Xuanguang Zhenren said this, and said that it was the master's order, and she didn't dare to ask, so she had to retire. I thought in my heart, when I really went to the Sword Trial Hall to take a look, would the disciples guarding the door stop me.
Trial Sword Hall, that is, when Gu Yan first arrived at the Tibetan Sword Villa, the lonely palace he saw, there were only pines and cypresses around it, and there were no other buildings.
She quit and wanted to talk to Suman Arrow, but was told that she had gone out on an errand and would not be back until ten days later.
Gu Yan let out an "oh", and the heart Dao Su Man Arrow seemed to be very busy here, Xuanguang Zhenren was mostly in charge of the sect, and as for foreign affairs, most of them were handled by this personal disciple.
She thought that she had nothing to do, so she walked towards the northwest, wanting to go to the Sword Trial Hall to have a look.
The entire Tibetan Sword Villa is built according to the topography of Tiger Hill, sitting in the north and facing south, from Gu Yan here to the Sword Trial Hall, you have to wear a big slash and insert it from here.
As Gu Yan walked in the direction of the Sword Trial Hall, the closer he got to it, the sparser the crowd he saw, and around the Sword Trial Hall, there were occasionally a few disciples who passed by in a hurry, and they didn't talk to others at all, so that Gu Yan didn't want to find someone to ask. She couldn't help but think strangely in her heart, it wasn't that Xuanguang Zhenren who was deceiving herself, let herself go to the Sword Hall to break through the forbidden land once, and then she would have a reason to take herself down. This kind of bridge seems to have been heard in drama when I was a child......
Immediately she laughed, Yunchi Sword Venerable was cultivating in the Tibetan Sword Villa, and his eyes were as good as good, even if Xuanguang Zhenren dared to fake the master's life, how could he escape his eyes? Gu Yan couldn't help but laugh at himself secretly, since he came here, he seemed to have become extremely timid, and he couldn't help himself when he was a little troubled.
She thought wildly, only to realize that she had already walked in front of the Sword Trial Hall, this hall was not very large, about the size of three houses. There are only three main halls in the middle, there is a small door half-hidden, and there is no one around quietly, only the sound of the wind blowing, blowing the branches on the pines and cypresses, making a "click" sound, which is extraordinarily quiet.
There was no plaque or handwriting on the door, but there was a sword carved from peach wood, and Gu Yan walked in without any obstacles.
Stepping into the sword test hall, she was startled, between the four walls, there are rows of bookshelves, needless to say, there are all kinds of books on them, gold slips, jade books, and so on.
And under her feet, there were countless swords piled up in a mess, most of them were broken, some of them had no hilt, some of them had only a sword body, and some of them had simply become a piece of scrap metal. It's densely packed all over the floor, so that people don't have a place to put their feet at all.
Gu Yan didn't dare to destroy these things at will, she walked forward one foot deep and one foot shallow, still wondering, why is there no one to guard such a heavy place, suddenly in the pile of scrap iron in front, a person raised his head and said dissatisfiedly: "Which hall are you, you are here to disturb my old man again, I don't know that now is the critical time, can't you let others disturb?" β
Gu Yan was startled, and couldn't help but take a step back, pulling a broken sword with one foot, and the chain reaction tore it down, and there was a "bang", and a pile of broken sword scrap iron like a hill fell down like this, almost burying her in it.
The man shouted: "It's bad, it's bad, I just figured out a little clue, and you came to ruin my good things again, come on, come on, follow me to your master, and explain it clearly!" β
Only then did Gu Yan see the face of the speaker, he was wearing a shabby, oil-stained clothes, and the black mud on his face was layer after layer, and he couldn't see his original face at all. It's just that the snow-white and unkempt hair on the top of his head, and the white beard and white eyebrows that the black mud on his face can't hide, show that this is an old man. (To be continued)
