Chapter Twenty-Six: The Secret of the Sword Formation

"The so-called sword list...... That's it. ”

The palace maid walked to the green jade screen with a smile, put her hand on it, and continued: "In this screen, there is a desolate sword array hidden. ”

"Flood Desolation Sword Formation." Gu Qingshan repeated, his expression unchanged.

The palace maid continued: "What puzzled Immortal Venerable was that although this sword array was subdued by her, she couldn't find the real sword spirit. ”

"Your mission is to enter the sword formation and find the sword spirit."

Gu Qingshan looked at the green jade screen.

- The whole screen is a hoax.

Xuanyuan Tianzun relied on this thing to exchange a lot of fine Hundred Flowers Jade Brew from the Hundred Flowers Fairy.

After being discovered, he quickly apologized and promised some really good things to appease Xie Daoling's anger.

- It's all innocuous little things.

Quickly expose the deception in the screen, and then go to the front line with Xie Daoling to save Gongsun Zhi and Ning Yuechan, which is the right thing.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingshan hugged his fists and said, "Please let me give it a try." ”

"Okay."

The palace maid nodded slightly, took up a spell in her hand, and pointed at the green jade screen.

The green jade screen suddenly shook.

One after another, visions appeared, exuding an ancient and vicissitudes of life.

The palace maid moved the magic trick in her hand again, and a colorful spiritual light suddenly appeared on the screen, covering Gu Qingshan.

A majestic voice rang out.

"Junior, after burning incense, you can get started."

Gu Qingshan lit incense, saluted, and stepped into the screen.

As soon as he disappeared, the palace maid suddenly changed her previous relaxed freehand and stared at the green jade screen with a solemn face.

"It's been ten years, and I still can't figure it out, I hope this boy can give me some inspiration." The palace maid muttered softly.

said that Gu Qingshan's eyes were full of flowers, and he found himself rolling down from mid-air into a large hall.

He stood up and looked around.

That's right.

It's still the ancient building in my memory.

On both sides of the main hall, there are two rows of figure sculptures, which are ancient monks with different postures.

The ten Ancient Monks were different, but the only thing they had in common was that they all had a long sword.

"Ancient Sword Cultivation." Gu Qingshan muttered.

- It's a bunch of deceitful guys.

He looked ahead and saw that in front of the main hall, a god was enshrined.

This is a golden-armored god-man, holding a mountain peak in his left hand and a strange long sword in his right hand, with a solemn expression.

Behind the gods is a five-man high wall, on which are painted with frescoes of ancient monks fighting monsters.

Gu Qingshan watched all this, his expression a little dazed.

It seems like......

What's not quite as good as I remember......

Where exactly?

He felt a bad feeling in his heart and walked to the first statue.

Gu Qingshan saluted and asked respectfully, "Dare to ask how the seniors sacrificed?" ”

The statue turned slightly, looking towards him.

This is a middle-aged monk with a national character face, wearing a frost-colored robe, and the long sword in his hand is also cold.

He looked at Gu Qingshan and said calmly: "Back then...... After that...... Something suddenly changed. ”

After speaking, he returned to his original posture and no longer moved.

Gu Qingshan arched his hand again: "Back then, what changed?" ”

The statue turned slightly again, looking towards him.

I saw the middle-aged man speak: "Back then...... After that...... Something suddenly changed. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Gu Qingshan deeply, and returned to his original posture.

Gu Qingshan was stunned.

"Senior—can you elaborate on that?" He asked.

The statue is alive again.

The statue stared at Gu Qingshan, and said in a hurried tone: "Back then! Back then! …… After that...... Something changed suddenly!! ”

The words fell, and the statue returned to its original position again.

Gu Qingshan fell silent.

This statue is exactly the same as the one on the other side of the closed loop of time.

There should be no problem with the statue.

What's changed then?

Myself.

In the main timeline, what really changes is yourself.

Don't......

At the beginning, these sword cultivation statues were deliberately playing a group of liars, but they were actually covering up something.

And this time, when they saw themselves, they gave up this cover-up?

- What do they want to say?

Gu Qingshan took a step forward and walked some distance forward, stopping in front of the second statue.

This statue is carved by a handsome young man, when Gu Qingshan walked in front of him, he was already alive, and he couldn't wait to say:

"After the end of the mountain, the overworld began to face a great catastrophe."

With that, he fell silent again.

"Dare to ask Daoyou, what kind of catastrophe is it?" Gu Qingshan hurriedly asked.

The handsome young man came to life again and said to him, "After the end of the mountain, the main world began to face a great catastrophe. ”

It was as if he wanted to tell some amazing secret, but he couldn't say a word more anyway.

A look of pain flashed across his face, and then he fell silent again.

Gu Qingshan stood for a few breaths.

Overworld ...... Begin to face ...... Catastrophe.

- The Overworld.

Who would use such a title?

Gu Qingshan suddenly looked back, and saw two rows of figure sculptures displayed on both sides of the main hall, which were ancient monks with different expressions and postures.

The ten Ancient Monks were different, but the only thing they had in common was that they all had a long sword.

Sword Cultivation.

Sword cultivators.

They were originally turned into heroic spirits, guarding the overworld—

The Age of the Flood!

But after he shattered the mountain in one fell swoop, the flood was divided into six points, turning into countless world fragments scattered into the void.

What about the sword spirits?

What are they doing?

Gu Qingshan walked to the third statue.

The statue suddenly came to life—

It was a gray-haired old man, holding a sword in one hand, and cried out as if he were mad, "It's like planting crops!" ”

Gu Qingshan arched his hand at him and walked to the next sword cultivation statue.

The sword cultivator suddenly came to life, and hurriedly said, "They learned that person's method!" ”

Gu Qingshan clenched his fists again and walked towards the next statue.

He walked past each statue and finally heard what the sword cultivators had to say.

"Supersede...... It could even be said to change ......"

"They usurped the power of Chaos and cut in at some point—"

"The laws are hostile to them, but not to Chaos,"

"Advent...... Sequence...... It's coming. ”

"Everything became two lines."

"They're trying to use that man's methods against that man!"

Gu Qingshan re-established himself in the center of the main hall.

The sword cultivation statues fell into silence completely, but in the dark, Gu Qingshan could feel that they were looking at him.

"Guys, I get the idea." Gu Qingshan Road.

There was silence.

- Whoa!

The ten sword cultivation statues suddenly shattered to the ground.

The illusory light and shadow condensed into a human form, nodded at him, and then disappeared into the void, quickly disappearing.

Suddenly, a female voice sounded:

"What the hell is going on?"

A figure descended gently.

But it's the palace maid.

Xie Daoling.

"Why did you come in too?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"Every time I ask them, they say the same thing, but they never break it - but just now I noticed that their spirits have returned to the phase world, why is that?" The palace maid stared at him closely.

Gu Qingshan said: "Because they think I have understood what they mean, and they don't have to stay here anymore, so they left." ”

"You understand?" The palace maid wondered.

"—They thought I understood, so they were relieved to leave, so I should have understood." Gu Qingshan Road.

"What exactly do these sword cultivators want to say?" The palace maid asked.

"Something is changing history—from the moment it doesn't happen, but this change is absolutely not allowed, so they borrow the power called 'Chaos', evade all punishment, and then, like a crop, plant seeds in history." Gu Qingshan Road.

The palace maid thought for a while, and then asked, "Everything has become two lines - what do you mean by that?" ”

Gu Qingshan fell silent.

After a while, he said: "I don't understand it either, after all, I have only lived for more than ten years, and now I have barely reached the realm of the sixth or seventh layer of qi refining, in the cultivation world, I have never heard of many things, nor have I seen them, so I don't dare to talk nonsense." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." The palace maid said.

"Then I'll tell you my guess."

"Say it."

"I can't understand that someone can change the past, doesn't that make the world mess up?" Gu Qingshan spread his hands and said.

The palace maid nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"What if, then, instead of touching the original history, you put a parallel line at some point and cover it?" Gu Qingshan Road.

The palace maid was stunned.

Gu Qingshan shook his head and said: "I'm young and shallow, this kind of thing will blow up as long as I think about it, so I can only think of so much." ”

“…… This secret...... It's so big, but we still don't know the whole picture. The palace maid muttered softly.

Gu Qingshan thought of something, and suddenly looked ahead.

Directly in front of the main hall is dedicated to a deity.

This is a golden-armored god-man, holding a mountain peak in his left hand and a strange long sword in his right hand, with a solemn expression.

Behind the gods is a five-man high wall, on which are painted with frescoes of ancient monks fighting monsters.

Gu Qingshan looked at the mountain peak in the hands of the godman.

"Ill-......conceived"

He muttered to himself.

The palace maid noticed the strangeness of his expression and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

Gu Qingshan came back to his senses and replied, "I'm thinking - in this Flood Desolate Sword Array, what really matters should actually be the god who is enshrined. ”

"It should tell us something."

The palace maid followed his gaze and looked at the god who was enshrined.
