Chapter 223: The Lurker Strikes
As the thunderstorm dissipated, the darkness disappeared, the heavens and the earth were clear, the Buddha's light disappeared, and two figures, one old and one young, fell from the sky.
Several elders immediately flew up and headed towards the top of the mountain, catching the two seriously injured bodies.
Angry as a gossamer, the lives of the two are on the line!
"Alas!" Wu Sansi sighed for a while, and left with Gu Chen and Daozang, they couldn't interfere too much in these things.
Daozang said: "The body of the stars integrates the luck of heaven and earth, and it may not fall, but that Huaikong, I look at his qi, and I am afraid that it will stop there." β
At this stop, they are just passers-by after all, and they will continue to look for the exit of the Western Restricted Zone.
Traveling westward, they passed through the Wanxiang Empire, another of the three great empires of the Smoke and Rain World.
But they didn't stop, and continued to move forward, and it took another half a year to finally reach the west of the smoke and rain.
In the territory of Chechi Country, and here, it is most likely to find the forbidden place.
As the three of them came to Chechi's country, the sage who was lurking in the shadows followed them, because Wu Sansi was very likely to find the location of the forbidden area, which had already threatened them.
They will stealthily stop it.
On this day, the three of them walked between the vast mountains, and they could already vaguely sense some kind of forbidden place, the sense in the dark, they might be about to find the forbidden area of the Western Regions?
Of course, the lurking Sages also sensed it.
As several breaths approached, they knew that sooner or later these people would stand up to stop them.
But what they didn't expect was that this day would come so quickly!
It was a raggedly dressed monk who stood in their way.
"Amitabha!" Facing the three of them, he called a Buddha call reasonably, and then looked at Daozang and said: "This outside master, Buddhism is boundless, the little monk intends to ask for advice, and please go to the cold temple to talk about it, and he will not hesitate to give advice." β
Daozang stepped forward and saluted: "Since the master has been paying attention to the little monk for a long time, and now he intends to invite him, how dare the little monk disobey, but the word 'teaching' is not daring." β
As the sloppy monk said "Please!" and the two of them flew up one after the other, jumped over countless mountain ranges, and came to a temple deep in the mountains.
The walls of the small temple had already collapsed and were overgrown with weeds, and the Buddha statue had long been covered with cracks, and there were many weeds sticking out of the cracks.
This is not a temple anymore.
Daozang still bowed to the Buddha statue to express his sincerity.
The second monk Buddha Mountain talks about the Tao......
Not long after Daozang left, the hidden aura appeared again.
This time it was a middle-aged man! He looked at the two of them with cold eyes, but he was not as kind as the monk.
"People from the outside world, this is the world of smoke and rain, no matter how powerful you are in your world, since you have come here, you have to coil the dragon, and the tiger has to crawl! Don't toss around, otherwise, there will be no good results!" As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Wu Sansi, there was already a killing intent in his eyes, since the peerless demon body of the descendants of the Five Emperors could not be killed, the old man in front of him could be rubbed and abused at will.
Wu Sansi frowned, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, he didn't dare to be careless!
He knew that the strength of the other party was definitely above that of ordinary saints.
The middle-aged man doesn't have much patience, he has already done it!
Gu Chen was puzzled in his heart, and asked Wu Sansi: "Senior, didn't you say that the Sage lurking in the Smoke and Rain World can't use the power of the Sage?" otherwise
Will it be eaten by the Heavenly Dao and turned into ashes?"
Wu Sansi was also puzzled, and said: "This is the case in principle, but I don't understand the variables at the moment. β
That middle-aged man had already attacked! The power of the powerful sage made Gu Chen feel the crisis.
Wu Sansi flew up and fought with him to the depths of the mountains.
Gu Chen didn't rush to follow, because he knew that someone would find him next.
"Alas!" After waiting for a long time, Gu Chen only heard a sigh.
It was an old man's sigh.
It was a gray-haired, clumsy old woman who walked out of the jungle with a cane.
"Young people from the outside world, welcome to your arrival, the old woman has been waiting here for a long time. The old woman walked very slowly, her back was very bent, so that his head had fallen into his arms, and when he looked at Gu Chen, he had to tilt his head, like a giant.
Gu Chen's cold voice came, and he said, "Do you also want to stop us from looking for the Western Forbidden Land?"
The old woman said, "I'm very old. β
Gu Chen withdrew his long sword and said, "So I won't kill you, because you don't have the ability to stop me at all!"
She really didn't have the ability to stop him, Gu Chen estimated that although this old woman's combat power was also a latent saint, she was afraid that she only had the strength of the Nine Turns of the Saint.
"Alas!" the old woman's sigh came again, looking at Gu Chen, her eyes were full of envy, and she sighed helplessly: "It's good to be young! I think I was the first beauty in this rainy world more than a thousand years ago!"
She really longed for her former appearance, and Gu Chen could hear that her words were not false.
"Actually, you don't have to worry about the will of Heaven at all, maybe the moment we find the West Forbidden Zone, you will already die of old age!" Gu Chen's words are true, this old woman is afraid that she will turn into a Dao if she doesn't live for ten years.
The old woman didn't pay attention to Gu Chen's words, but continued: "A youthful face is what every woman wants to have, but the years, like a sharp knife, will leave a furrow on everyone's face, even if you are a sage after the ninth turn! β
Gu Chen's eyes widened! Since this old woman knew the path of Cangyu, then she was not an ordinary sage.
But when you think about it, it's not surprising that a person who has lived for more than a thousand years might know something.
"At your age, I'm afraid you won't survive that time......" Before Gu Chen finished speaking, the old woman was already a little impatient and said:
"This is not a place to speak, young man, please come with me if you can trust my old woman!" Immediately, she tapped her cane to the ground, and the man flew towards the depths of the mountain.
Gu Chen hesitated slightly, but decided to chase after him.
Along the way, he could only barely keep up, Gu Chen's face was solemn, this old woman who seemed to be about to turn into a Dao still had such spare strength!
Stopping in a secluded valley, Gu Chen followed into it, and only then did he realize that he had actually entered a formation.
The formation operated, separating the valley from the outside world, Gu Chen's sword was already in his hand, he never imagined that he had been negligent for a while, and he was tricked into this formation by her.
But the old woman was not in a hurry, she turned around and said, "Young man, don't panic, you have to come here. β
Gu Chen's long sword clenched tightly, and said coldly: "Do you have no choice but to kill me?
As Gu Chen spoke, the sword was already moving.
Wu Ji flew out and flew towards the old woman,
Just as he was about to insert it into her eyebrows, he stopped.
Because the old woman didn't resist, she let Gu Chen's sword pierce her eyebrows.
"Say it!" Gu Chen knew that the old woman had brought him here, but he was afraid that he would have something to say.
The old woman said sadly: "Young man, you should know that I am very old. β
Looking at the wrinkled face, it seemed that every ravine was full of desolation! This time, Gu Chen seemed to understand the old woman's words.
He knew that what she longed for was not life, but face!
"So, you're not the same kind of person as them?"
The old woman nodded and said, "That's right, among all the sages, I am the only one who really hopes that you will find the forbidden area and go to the road to Cangyu, and I will also go out with you, even if you are dead!"
Gu Chen's face has changed! All kinds of signs show that the old woman's words are worthy of reliability.
used to be the first beauty in the world, and now the old woman, let her continue to live like this, it is better to die immediately.
The old woman continued: "I want to be young! Although I can still survive in the world of smoke and rain, there is no way for me to restore my appearance. β
Gu Chen nodded and said, "So, even if you fight for your life, you have to go to the next station, in the second station where the saints are everywhere, maybe there can really be a magic medicine to restore your face?"
The old woman nodded, looking at the western sky, and her cloudy old eyes finally had a hint of light! Because there, there was her spiritual sustenance.
Gu Chen asked again, "So, no one can trust the sages of this world?"
The old woman nodded cautiously and said, "No one can believe it, including the monk and the old man beside you." β
Gu Chen stared at the old woman, his face had become serious, and he said coldly: "You are sowing discord!"
The old woman shook her head and said, " Next, in order to spread faith, the monk will bewitch the kings of various countries in the world of smoke and rain, hype Buddhism, build temples, worship Buddha statues, and absorb the power of faith, and that old way, is already a double sage, the road to Cangyu is boundless, when the forbidden area is opened, it is a road of no return, maybe he will be ordered by the Five Emperors to seek a forbidden area for you on the surface, but in his heart, I am afraid that this place has long been regarded as a place of belonging, if I guess correctly, next, he will secretly cultivate his disciple who has the qualifications of the Great Emperor, young man, you should know that as a generation of Great Emperor's teacher, what kind of heavenly luck will he endureοΌβ
The old woman's words woke up Gu Chen! Daozang was guarding the corner of the Tianshan Mountains in the extreme north, it was indeed worth being suspicious, if he really wanted to contribute a little strength to the Cangyu Tribulation, why should he not be in the Tianyu World? After all, when the future calamity came, the Tianyu World would also be in trouble, so the Five Emperors would leave a big deal to make the Tianyu World inexhaustible and the five emperors would be reborn in the world.
As for Wu Sansi, this old man whose strength is beyond his imagination is indeed incomprehensible to many places. Even, Gu Chen wondered if he had been ordered by Hua Hong's predecessors to stay here and find a forbidden path for him?
The best proof is that the ancient mythological figure has no god, he had no hope of becoming the emperor, but one sword was divided into two factions, cultivating two swords, one black and one white, achieving two great emperors, and continuing his mythical path.
There is no god and there is no god! This is definitely not boasting.
Gu Chen knew that the master who didn't know where he was was godless, with Xingyu's becoming an emperor, or could his own demon body still be able to achieve great success?
