Chapter Seventy-Seven: Déjà vu
The aura of the purple clouds came to their faces, and everyone was for a while, quickly adjusting their breath and bathing themselves in this abundant heavenly aura.
Just when everyone was immersed in it, Qi You's face changed slightly, she did use spiritual power now, but she was a demon after all, even if her family had adapted to the existence of spiritual power for thousands of years, she was suddenly in a huge aura, and she was still not very adaptable.
"Shall we go?" Mo Xiaotong came to Qi You, and she asked softly.
Qi You nodded, and replied a little weakly: "Wait a minute, let's see what will be like inside after the purple cloud disperses." ”
Qi You glanced around, and many monks also carefully looked at the middle of the stone crevice, the purple clouds inside were too dense to see the specific situation.
After a while, the clouds finally dispersed, but no one took the first step, and they were all checking on each other.
"Since no one dares to go in first, we will be the pioneers!" Gu Mo stared inside for a long time, strode forward, and said to Qi You.
Bai Mu pondered for a moment and took a step forward, he agreed with Gu Mo's point of view, the opportunity is first-come, first-served, anyway, they are the weakest here now, and if they go late, the opportunity may be gone, if they go early, the people behind will not worry that they have robbed the opportunity.
Seeing this, Qi You didn't say anything, gently pulled Mo Xiaotong, and stepped into this purple cloud.
It was very quiet, the sound of water dripping on the stones could be heard clearly, and their steps were invariably very light.
The more they looked in, the denser the clouds became, and they couldn't see what was going on in front of them again, and they couldn't see anything except the hazy light passing through it.
Mo Xiaotong and Qi Youyou have been close to each other, and the two of them can clearly perceive each other's situation.
Although Mo Xiaotong was nervous, she was more curious, she always felt that this place was familiar.
And whenever she looked forward, she knew very well that there were two places in front of her that were constantly attracting her, but she didn't know why she felt this way when she couldn't see anything clearly in her purple eyes.
Qi You, who was always calm beside her, was not looking good at this time, her hands had been trembling slightly, and Mo Xiaotong could clearly feel it.
"Xiaoyou, are you okay?" Mo Xiaotong said.
"It's okay, it's just that it gives me a stuffy feeling here, and it makes me feel bad." Qi You didn't hide her discomfort.
"We should be out of here, and up ahead, there should be a small town, where you have to be careful, it's easy to get lost." Mo Xiaotong blurted out.
After she finished speaking, not only Qiyou was stunned, but even she herself was stunned, how could she say these things that even she didn't know.
"Okay, then let's act on the opportunity and be careful along the way." After a short period of surprise, Qi You didn't ask Mo Xiaotong anything, and directly believed what she said.
"I, I'm not sure if there's a town, and I don't know what I'm talking about just now!" Mo Xiaotong explained in a panic that in this unknown situation, you really can't talk nonsense.
"Mo Tong, Qi Ten!" Gu Mo's voice came from the front, and he said with a little excitement: "There is a small town in front, it seems that there are people in it!" ”
Mo Xiaotong's eyes widened, and she looked at the vague figure in front of her who was waving her hand to them incredulously, Qi You was clear, she pulled Mo Xiaotong, who was half in a daze, and walked forward quickly.
The clouds and mist in front of them finally decreased, and a small town appeared in front of them, Gu Mo and Bai Mu stood at the entrance of the town, waiting for them to come.
At the same time, there was also a third person standing at the entrance of the town, an old man with gray hair, who was holding a cane and looking at the four of them expectantly.
"Finally, this Purple Cloud Secret Realm is open again!" The old man's cloudy eyes flashed with tears.
Seeing this, Mo Xiaotong hurriedly reached a handkerchief, the old man took it and slowly wiped the tears in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know how many years I've been waiting, I finally see someone!" ”
"Grandpa, are you?" Gu Mo looked at the old man, and he roughly knew the situation of the old man in his heart, he was a senior who was at the peak of foundation building, he suddenly frowned without a trace, the aura on this old man's body was a little strange.
"I'm a monk who came here the last time the Purple Cloud Secret Realm was opened." The old man replied slowly.
"Haven't you been here for almost five hundred years?" Gu Mo was surprised for a while, but he immediately calmed down and asked again, "Senior, are you trapped here?" ”
The old man shook his head, he bent his knees, and knelt down in front of them, and the four of them were stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but the old man refused to get up, but his cloudy eyes exuded fine light, and he looked at them with a very pit and expectant gaze.
His lips trembled badly, but the words he spoke were clear, and he said, "I want to ask you for one thing. ”
"Speak, please." Gu Mo said seriously.
"This town is called Lost Heart, and I want you to go in and help me find someone." The old man's voice was obviously much lower, and he said: "It's a female cultivator named Qianhua, and she is my love." ”
Gu Mo looked at the old man suspiciously, and asked, "Then don't you go in to find her in person?" ”
This old man is standing at the entrance of the Lost Heart Town, and this secret realm is restricted from cultivation, he happens to be at the peak of foundation building, and he is already a strong man here, isn't it more convenient for him to go in and find someone in person?
"I want to go in too, but I can't." The old man bowed his head in frustration, "Everyone here can only go in once, and once they come out, they can't step inside." ”
"Oh, that's right," Gu Mo replied apologetically, he had just touched the old man's pain when he asked, and he didn't mean to.
"And what does your relationship look like? Are there any distinguishing features? At this time, Mo Xiaotong asked.
The old man raised his hand tremblingly, groped into the cuffs, and after groping for a long time, he took out a piece of paper that had been yellowed, on which was painted a gentle woman like jade, the woman sat sideways in front of the guqin, the jade hand lightly picked the silver strings, a pair of Danfeng eyes looked ahead with a smile, and a grain of cinnabar between the eyebrows seemed to have spirituality, embellishing the goose egg face.
"She's just a shallow painting." The old man gently stroked the beauty in the painting, and his eyes were pampered.
"And your name?" Mo Xiaotong said again.
The old man slowly raised his head and looked at them blankly, and he said distressedly, "What is my name?" I...... I seem to have forgotten. ”
The old man frowned, the already loose skin on his forehead was twisted together, and he completely turned into a bitter gourd face, and he said again: "When I think about it, what is my name......"
The four of them looked at him quietly, and after a long time, the old man sighed and shook his head, but he still didn't remember what his name was.
"And do you remember where you and Light Painting went in Enchanted Heart?" Gu Mo asked again.
"Wait for me to think about it, wait for me to think about it...... the old man had a bitter face, he couldn't remember anything anymore, he only remembered the shallow painting.
"And your sect?" Gu Mo said again, at this time, Qi You grabbed Gu Mo, shook his head at him, and motioned him not to ask.
"People are too old to remember." The old man looked helplessly into the distance, he reached out and groped in his pocket, he slowly took out a piece of white jade, which was engraved with the word 'shallow painting', he reluctantly looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and finally handed it to them.
The old man said: "This jade pendant is a pair, I and the light painting one person, the jade pendant I hold is engraved with the name of the light painting, the light painting should have a jade pendant engraved with my name in the hand, you will show her the jade pendant, she will know that it is me." ”
Mo Xiaotong hesitated whether he should take the jade pendant, but Gu Mo directly reached out and took the jade pendant, ignoring Mo Xiaotong, who was looking at him in surprise on the side, he just looked at the old man firmly and said, "I will bring out the shallow painting." ”
The old man finally smiled reassuringly when he heard this, and then he slowly stood up with the support of several people, he waved at a few people, and said slowly: "Thank you!" ”
"You're polite, you're a senior, and we should help you." Gu Mo replied, he looked at the entrance of the town, and said, "Dare to ask the seniors, do you know if there is anything to pay attention to in this town?" ”
The old man pondered for a moment, and then said: "There is only one point, please be careful, you are fascinated in the town, do not lie, otherwise you will be confused." ”
"Thank you!" Gu Mo also bowed to the old man.
The four of them said goodbye to the old man, and as soon as they stepped into the town of Lost Heart, Mo Xiaotong looked at Gu Mo in puzzlement and asked, "Are you sure to bring out the shallow painting?" In case she ...... What if we can't find it? And this jade pendant is a very important thing for him, if we take it like this and don't find anyone, will it be bad? ”
In addition to Bai Mu, Qi You and Gu Mo all looked at her quietly, Mo Xiaotong was not only even more strange, she asked again: "I'm afraid that we gave that senior too much hope." ”
"Xiao Hitomi," Qi You's expression was a little complicated, and she said silently: "He's dying, he won't last a few hours, the result is the same whether we take it or not, it's impossible for us to find that shallow painting in such a short time." ”
"That?" Mo Xiaotong was taken aback, and couldn't answer for a while.
"It's the same whether we take it or not, he can't see a shallow painting," Gu Mo also explained: "The strength of this predecessor is the pinnacle of foundation building, although the life span of a person who cultivates immortals is long, but there is still an end of time, the life span of a qi refiner can break two hundred, and the life span of a foundation builder is five hundred years at most, he has been waiting here for almost five hundred years, and he has no time." ”
Mo Xiaotong didn't answer, just looked at him in a daze.
Gu Mo said again: "The aura on that senior's body is no longer right, he is just holding on, and he knows in his heart that I took the jade pendant just to comfort him and tell him that the light painting will come out to find him." ”
Hearing this, Mo Xiaotong was suddenly a little dazed, her lips were slightly pale, and she whispered: "Since he has been waiting for almost five hundred years, is she still alive with a shallow painting?" ”
Qi You and Gu Mo silently turned their heads aside, whether the shallow painting was alive or not, they didn't know, but the possibility of the shallow painting dying was extremely great.
"Let's go and see what kind of town this is." Bai Mu grabbed Mo Xiaotong's little hand and pulled her to walk forward slowly, and Qi You and Gu Mo also followed.
Mo Xiaotong looked at Bai Mu holding her hand, her eyes froze, she understood what Bai Mu meant, since she came, she had to explore it first, just standing here and pondering, she couldn't get anything.
