Next, Bai Suzhen mainly dodged to avoid excessive consumption, and Gu Ming figured out the layout of the chess pieces.

This is one of his killer features, and naturally it should not be missed.

The terrifying thing about energy bodies is that they can't be killed, because they are essentially formless and lifeless, and even if they are scattered, they can quickly come together.

However, the disadvantages are also obvious, no life means no intelligence, no flexibility at all, and the attack method is completely an inherent situation.

Gu Ming also took advantage of this, constantly looking for the opponent's weaknesses, and slowly introduced a group of strange beasts into the chess game with Bai Suzhen.

After the chess game was arranged, more than a dozen words were written and placed in it.

"Alright, the White Maiden, get out of the way."

Everything was ready, and Gu Ming led Bai Suzhen to quickly retreat outside the chess game.

Subsequently, the power continued to output, waving Biluo and quickly writing a poem: The black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it, and the armor light opens to the sun!

"Kill!"

In the last word, Gu Ming burst into tears and shouted, murderous.

"Boom!"

A killing word completely detonated the power accumulated before, including the chess game, which also disappeared in a moment of shaking movements.

However, no matter how big the movement is, it is limited to the scope of the chess game that has been laid out before.

And Gu Ming and the others stood outside, only to feel a strong wind hitting and a violent shaking.

"Great, it's done!"

After waiting for a while, Bai Suzhen couldn't help but cheer in surprise and excitement when she saw those strange beasts turn into stone statues again and didn't attack again.

Gu Ming looked relieved, and subconsciously looked around......

At this moment, there was a sudden rumbling sound in the stone room.

After the sound subsided, another passage appeared in front of the two of them.

"Looks like this is another test?"

Gu Ming shook his head self-deprecatingly, then glanced at Bai Suzhen and asked, "White girl, do we still want to move forward?" ”

Bai Suzhen smiled bitterly: "Otherwise? We couldn't find our way out when we went back. ”

"I don't know who designed the mechanism here...... Let's breathe first, maybe there will be a big war next. ”

So, the two sat down in place to recuperate.

It was almost two hours before he got up, and stepped into the new passage with all his mind on guard.

This time, I didn't go far before I saw the light of the exit......

I thought it was some kind of secret room or something, but this time it was much unexpected by Gu Ming and the others.

What appeared in front of them was a small valley, like a paradise.

The mountain is not high, it may only be more than 100 meters, but it looks extraordinarily beautiful.

There are flowers, grass, trees, streams, lakes, houses in the valley, and a simple and exquisite pagoda about ten meters high.

"It's been more than 2,000 years, and it's finally ...... Someone's coming in! ”

Just as the two of them looked at their surroundings suspiciously, a voice came into their ears, and at the same time, a tall figure also appeared in sight.

Judging from the outfit, it looks like a great general in ancient times.

However, the other party's figure looks a little illusory, as if it may dissolve into the air at any time.

"Who is Your Excellency?"

Gu Ming came back to his senses and subconsciously asked.

"Name...... Forgot about ......"

I don't know if the other party really forgot or didn't want to say it.

"In short, if you are able to pass the trials and make it here, my mission will be completed.

The answers to your doubts can be found on the first floor of the tower.

I have been guarding here for more than 2,000 years, and I have finally lived up to the trust of my master.

I hope you will make good use of it, and I hope you will achieve positive results as soon as possible......"

The figure of the other party became fainter and fainter, and the voice became more and more floating, until it disappeared completely.

"This ...... What's going on? ”

Bai Suzhen asked Gu Ming in confusion.

Gu Ming spread his hands: "I'm the same as you...... Didn't he say it, the answer is on the first floor of the tower, let's go and see. ”

"Hmm!"

So, the two of them walked to the tower together and probed first, making sure that there were no unusual fluctuations before walking in.

It is furnished like a study, with bookshelves, desks, and stools.

According to the mysterious man, then at least two thousand years have passed here. However, the house was spotless and showed no signs of decay.

There are many ancient books on the shelves, including bamboo slips, animal bones, turtle shells, animal skins, jade plates, and so on.

There was a parchment book on the desk, Gu Ming stepped forward to look at it for a while, and the doubts in his heart were finally solved one by one.

It turned out that this place was originally a place of cultivation for ancient immortal cultivators, and those mountains were transformed by spiritual veins, and water was nurtured by spiritual springs.

It is precisely because of the existence of spiritual veins and spiritual springs that those flowers and trees can flourish without external sunlight.

Before ascending, the immortal cultivator cultivated this place into a magic weapon of its own space, and at the same time left a lifetime of cultivation experience and some cultivation resources for those who are destined.

And this exquisite small tower is another magic weapon.

The tower is divided into nine rooms, in addition to the first floor as a study, the second to ninth floors have special arrangements, which can allow people to stay in the corresponding number of floors according to different realms.

Because of the existence of spiritual veins and spiritual springs in this space, the spiritual energy is naturally much thicker than the outside world, even the spirit gathering array arranged by Gu Ming is far from being comparable.

Therefore, although I took a little bit of risk this time, I picked up such a big treasure, which is worth a thousand dollars.

The parchment book is attached with how to receive this magic weapon, which is very intimate.

"Gu Gongzi, put it away."

Without waiting for Gu Ming to speak, Bai Suzhen took the initiative to say something.

"This was discovered by the two of us together, and it's not good for me to put it away alone, right?"

"It doesn't matter, this is a space magic weapon, it can be big or small, you can arrange it in the courtyard when you go back, and we can all go in and cultivate."

That's right, now, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, including Snake Ji, usually live in the Marquis's Mansion as long as they don't go out to do any tasks.

Anyway, the place is big, and there are many rooms.

"Well, that makes sense!"

Gu Ming didn't shirk anymore, nodded in response, and then followed the instructions in the parchment book to drip a little essence blood in the tower first, and then go to another room to drop a little essence blood.

This is called dripping blood to recognize the Lord, and it is also a very common way to recognize the Lord with a magic weapon.

Afterwards, Gu Ming and Bai Suzhen retreated to the exit of the passage together, and silently recited a few more mantras......

As soon as the mantra was recited, the scene in front of me changed instantly, and the paradise-like scenery disappeared, replaced by a cave.

At the same time, Gu Ming also had a gourd-shaped magic weapon in his hand.

"It seems that this cave is the real exit."

"Well, that's probably it, White Girl, let's go."

The two of them walked along the cave for a while, and finally, they saw the sunlight outside.

Looking at the sun, it was already afternoon.

"Uncle, why did you come back?"

As soon as she got home, Yu'er didn't know where to hit her, and a pair of slippery eyes swept around Gu Ming and Bai Suzhen.

"Yu'er, we ...... We had a bit of a special situation. ”

Bai Suzhen naturally knew what this girl was thinking, and her face was slightly hot and she explained.

"I said you two, yes, what about you two, why didn't you call me when you went to explore some secrets? It's a shame that people made a special trip to the temple, but they didn't find the two of you. ”

Xiaoqing also ran out with a snort.

Gu Ming said angrily: "Wasn't you there at the time?" ”

"Then you can wait a day before you go, really...... By the way, what temple did you two really go to? ”

"General's Temple."

"Yes, but I've also gone, what's there to explore in a small ruined temple?"

Hearing this, Gu Ming couldn't help but smile: "That's because you didn't find the secret in it......"

Xiaoqing's eyes suddenly lit up: "So, you found it?" ”

"Of course...... Okay, let's go for a walk and go to the backyard. ”

……

That day, Gu Ming was busy until midnight, first dismantling the Spirit Gathering Array, and then arranging another array.

Another chess game was added to the formation to achieve the effect of double insurance.

After the arrangement was completed, he took out the space magic weapon and placed it in the array, and told Nie Xiaoqian and the others how to enter.

"Haha, great, finally a good place to practice......"

As soon as he entered, Xiaoqing laughed happily.

Yu'er was even more excited and ran crazy with Ying Ning inside.

Nie Xiaoqian naturally likes it too, and the environment here can be called a blessed land for her.

"Husband, I didn't expect you and the white girl to find such a magical magic weapon, I'm afraid this is not inferior to the magic weapon of the Immortal Family."

Gu Ming smiled and said, "Whether it is an immortal magic weapon or a mortal magic weapon, the most important thing is practicality.

This magic weapon is the most tangible for us, and in the future, you can stay here and cultivate, and it will definitely greatly improve your cultivation progress.

There is also Infant Ning...... Look, it's running so happily. ”

"yes, this little guy has always been active. It used to worry about it going outside, but now it's okay, and finally there's a safe place for it to run open. ”

After chatting a few words, Gu Ming took his wife to visit around.

In addition to the Linglong Tower, there are more than ten houses inside, all of which are about the same size, but they are empty inside.

It didn't matter, Gu Ming could bring in some furniture through his carry-on package.

When you are happy, you can also bring some wood, stones, etc., to build your own house in it.

After wandering around for a while, Gu Ming came to the Linglong Pagoda, wanting to test what was different about cultivating in this tower.

According to the instructions in the parchment, the two to nine houses need to correspond to different realms, and the higher the realm, the higher the realm.

Gu Ming easily walked all the way to the fifth floor, and when he went to the sixth room, he felt a trace of pressure, as if he was carrying a heavy load, far less relaxed than before.

When I stepped into the sixth room and tried to go to the seventh floor, I could barely move, as if I was stuck in a deep quagmire.

Gu Ming almost tried his best, and in the end he only stepped on the third step.

This means that with his current realm, he can only reach the sixth layer.

So, Gu Ming retreated again, walked to the middle of the sixth room and sat cross-legged and meditated on pranayama.

Once you settle down, you find that two different forces are pouring into your body at the same time.

One makes Zhihai faintly painful, like a steel needle piercing inside.

On the other hand, there is an invisible pressure from the inside out, which makes the bone marrow faintly rattle, and the body is a little difficult to straighten, as if there is a small mountain peak above the head slowly pressing down.

At this time, Gu Ming finally understood the wonderful use of this tower.

These two powers, one is to sharpen people's knowledge and state of mind, simply put, the spiritual level, and the other is to sharpen people's physical fitness.

For a long time to practice penance in this way, the benefits are obvious. Because, only in a harsh environment, people's fighting spirit, will, potential, etc. will be slowly stimulated.

As the so-called: Bao Fengfeng comes from the grinding, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.

With this special cultivation place, the cultivation progress of the group can be said to have added a pair of wings, and there are constant surprises.

In addition to the abundant aura and the peculiar exquisite pagoda, the ancient books in the tower are also very precious, including the cultivation of the mind, secret arts, formations, alchemy, refining, talisman and so on.

There are also secrets that originate from antiquity.

Importantly, there is another function of this magic weapon that is not mentioned in the parchment...... This is also a big surprise that Gu Ming discovered later.

The surprise was that the time in the magic weapon was not synchronized with the time lost from the outside world, and the difference was about three times.

In other words, three days of cultivation in the Dharma Weapon have passed, but only one day has passed outside.

In this way, Gu Ming no longer has to worry about writing and doing daily things.

While others sleep once, he can stay in the space for about a day and a half.

This leaves a lot of time for other things.

……

After noon that day, a eunuch in the palace hurriedly came to Dali Temple to find Gu Ming.

"Lord Hou, the emperor summoned you to enter the palace quickly, saying that there is something important to discuss."

As soon as he heard this, Gu Ming immediately got up and entered the palace.

In fact, he had already roughly guessed what was going on, eighty or ninety to ten was for the situation in the Western Regions.

Because Snake Ji has been staying in the Western Regions to secretly monitor the situation in all aspects, once there is something important, she will pass the news back, faster than the news of the imperial court.

As expected, as soon as he saw Emperor Yongping, he said: "Aiqing, I have received a secret report, the situation in the Western Regions is a little wrong, and more than ten countries led by Da Shi have recently frequently deployed troops, and it is suspected that they want to join forces to launch a sneak attack on the countries where our mission is stationed.

Once they are allowed to succeed, not only will the members of our mission suffer heavy casualties, but the prestige of our Great Yan Dynasty will also be greatly affected, and the hard work they have made before will also be in vain.

In this regard, what good advice does Aiqing have? ”

Gu Ming thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, I'm afraid this is the other party's bluff." ”

"Bluffing?"

"That's right, if the other party really wanted to sneak attack, he should have done it a long time ago. In doing so, they are nothing more than deliberately creating a false impression to force us to withdraw our mission. ”

Emperor Yongping nodded: "There is indeed this possibility...... But Aiqing, if the other party really launches a surprise war, then it will be too late for us to remedy it. So, you still have to come up with a precautionary measure. ”

"Hmm...... It is very likely that the Holy Fire Cult is secretly playing tricks on the scene. The presence of our mission is not a good thing for them, so they will inevitably fight back in every possible way.

In that case, you might as well make things bigger and force them to show up. ”

"Make a big fuss? What does Aiqing mean? ”

"Your Majesty, since the other party is playing tricks, we might as well pretend. The emperor can order the mobilization of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at the border passes, cross the border line and march in the direction of the Western Regions, and find a suitable place to camp.

In this way, even if the other party really dares to send troops, our side will be able to arrive in time.

At the same time, they will secretly send special combat personnel to carry out the beheading plan and teach the other side a bloody lesson......"

The two of them discussed secretly for more than an hour, and Gu Ming hurriedly left the palace and began to dispatch people to implement the countermeasure plan......

A few days later, Dayan gathered a team of more than 30,000 people towards the border pass and marched towards the Yina River.

In the end, they set up camp less than forty miles away from the Great Food Country, which frightened the people up and down the Great Food Country, and some nobles even fled with their families and mouths, for fear of being affected by the war.

But that's just the beginning.

In the next three days, several countries such as Jisu, Cheshi, Luzi, and Gumo also fell into turmoil and panic.

The generals of several countries have either mysteriously disappeared or have been assassinated.

Many warehouses in the city where important supplies were stacked also caught fire......

Anyone could guess that the Great Yan Dynasty's warning or revenge had finally come......

This also plunged the entire Western Regions into turmoil.

After all, no one could guess what the Great Yan Dynasty would do next.

In the past, they were terrained and remote, and the army of the Central Plains did not dare to step into it easily, so they had no fear.

Now the situation has become confusing, so they have to start facing up to the existential problem......

……

No matter how cunning the fox is, there will be a time when the tail will be exposed.

As the situation in the Western Regions continued to be turbulent, the Holy Fire Cult, which had always liked to hide in the shadows and manipulate the overall situation, could no longer hide, and finally began to surface......

In addition to frantically counterattacking on his own territory, he also adopted the strategy of "treating others in the way of others", and sent many members to the Central Plains to make trouble, intending to plunge the Central Plains into turmoil.

As a result, being smart is being mistaken by being smart.

Since ancient times, the Central Plains region has produced many capable people, and how can they tolerate foreign people to disturb the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains?

Therefore, the invasion of the Holy Fire Cult aroused the anger of all major sects, and formed a charlatan alliance to launch an all-out counterattack.

In this way, the Holy Fire Cult is miserable......

To put it bluntly, they are still arrogant and self-defeating after all.

This time, the imperial court and the rivers and lakes were in harmony for a rare time, and they joined forces to carry out encirclement and suppression.

Although the Holy Fire Cult claims to have been inherited for thousands of years, how can it withstand such a stormy blow?

After struggling for more than half a year, I finally ...... The old nest located in the depths of the desert is connected to the pot.

Since then, their so-called thousand-year-old legacy has completely vanished.

Even if some members who escaped by luck could only flee incognito in order to escape pursuit.

At this time, the countries of the Western Regions finally saw the true strength of the Great Yan Dynasty, and they sent envoys to the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty in awe, and many of them volunteered to be vassals and regarded the Great Yan Dynasty as the upper country.

Subsequently, many tribal leaders in the north also came to the pilgrimage......
