- You must enter the city before dark.

When those monks were leaving, they solemnly told Gu Qingshan like this.

Gu Qingshan put away the letter and looked up at the sky.

Night is coming.

Gu Qingshan sped up his flying speed.

- Time is still in time, and there is no need to expose such a magic skill as shrinking the ground into inches.

He flew under low, gray clouds, through the cold wind, over vast swaths of ruined cities.

At some point, the rain began to drip and gradually became pouring.

In the wilderness, the ruins of massive broken walls are bathed in rainwater.

Gu Qingshan observed for a while and found that these buildings were all made of particularly strong materials, and some of the bricks and stones also had special power fluctuations.

Perhaps because of this, they have remained in the same state as they were when they were first destroyed, after countless years of exposure to the wind and sun.

But what exactly is it that destroys these cities?

Large-scale war?

Natural disaster?

Or something else?

Gu Qingshan carefully observed the ruins.

Almost all the roofs were lifted, and all sorts of scattered things were piled up on the ground.

There are places where things seem to be more appealing, showing traces of artificial sorting and picking.

This must have been the work of the latecomers.

Too long ago, the whole scene was destroyed by latecomers, and many traces of that year no longer exist.

In such a situation, Gu Qingshan couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"Hey."

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the sea of his consciousness.

Gu Qingshan was startled, stopped in mid-air, and asked, "Who?" ”

"It's me."

I saw a teenager flying from the far sky.

Gu Qingshan looked at his appearance, then looked at the turtle shell behind him, and said in a lost voice: "Turtle Shao!" How are you here! ”

That's right, this young man is one of the four divine beasts of the Desolate Cloud Heavenly Palace, the Spirit Tortoise.

Gui Shao flew in front of him and said, "Your master left in a hurry, and I forgot to tell you something, so let me deliver a message." ”

"What's the matter?"

"You have to go into town before dark."

"Ah, I know, but why is the turtle here?"

Gu Shao said: "It's not that you finally got the Heaven and Earth Twin Swords, all my missions have ended, and it just so happened that your master went to the Primordial Heaven Realm again, so I followed her back to your world." ”

Gu Qingshan said: "Now that you are following my master, are you here to help her through the tribulation?" ”

"Exactly!" Turtle Shaodao.

At this time, the rain fell even heavier, and several meters away there was a mist, and it was so white that it was impossible to see anything.

It was a little darker.

Turtle Shao urged: "Let's talk as we go, we can't delay any longer." ”

"Okay."

The two of them flew towards the City of Heavenly Pillars together.

"Is my master crossing the Heavenly King Tribulation, or the Sumeru Mountain Tribulation?" Gu Qingshan asked as he flew away.

"Didn't you see her?" Spirit Turtle Road.

Gu Qingshan explained: "No, she came as a magic clone, and I can't judge her strength." ”

"Oh, that's right, she's here to survive the Sumeru Tribulation."

The spirit turtle lowered his voice and continued: "Your master seems to have some unique circumstances, this time you have to come up to cross the Sumeru Mountain Tribulation, and I and several of her disciples can't persuade me. ”

Gu Qingshan was confused when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't all monks going to cross the tribulation?" If she wants to advance, she naturally wants to come up to cross the tribulation, why are you stopping her?"

The spirit turtle glanced at him and said, "Your master has refined a golden lotus flower into a golden light and integrated it into the sea of knowledge, and from then on, whenever she wants to advance, she can break through directly, without the need to cross the tribulation." ”

"You don't need to cross the tribulation, just advance?" Gu Qingshan thought that he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but ask again.

The Spirit Tortoise nodded.

Gu Qingshan's heart was shocked.

In the past, when Xie Daoling was born, there was a golden lotus flower that accompanied him, and the creation of heaven and earth was feared by the gods, so he cursed viciously.

Xie Guhong tried his best to seal her in ice crystals and sleep until the curse dissipated.

This is what Gu Qingshan knows.

- He knew that Shizun must be very special and would be very powerful in the future.

But he never expected that Shizun would break through the realm now, and he wouldn't even need to spend the Heavenly Tribulation!

Gu Qingshan hurriedly asked, "Then what is my master here for?" ”

The Spirit Tortoise sighed and said, "It's for the Shenwu World - after all, there are no good Dao techniques in the entire Shenwu World that can allow the monks to practice until the realm of the Night Sky and above. ”

"Then how is my master-"

"She has some exercises, but it seems that they are only suitable for her own cultivation, so she came here to get some exercises and Dao tips from the monks of other worlds, so as to help the beings in the Shenwu world become stronger quickly."

Gu Qingshan couldn't help but nod when he heard it.

At this time, in the rain and fog ahead, a large black shadow appeared.

The City of Heavenly Pillars has finally arrived.

The two flew up the city wall and landed steadily.

The Spirit Tortoise breathed a sigh of relief.

Several other monks were already waiting here.

"Luckily, you finally arrived before dark." One person said with relief.

Several others nodded, as if letting go of their worries.

Gu Qingshan was a little surprised, and hugged his fists and said, "Fellow Daoists, have you been standing here waiting for us?" ”

A male cultivator said: "Yes, the Heavenly King Tribulation is not an ordinary danger, if there are more people, the heart will be more steady." ”

The female cultivator next to her seemed to be his fellow Daoist, and echoed: "If the number of people is too small, I would rather retreat from a realm and turn my head back to rebuild for hundreds of years." ”

A monk said, "Amitabha, according to the records of our world, if you want to successfully reach the top of Mount Meru, the more people you are, the more likely you are to succeed. ”

Gu Qingshan looked at the expressions of the other people, and saw that they also had an expression of approval, which made him understand.

These people were waiting for him here, wondering if he had arrived safely.

- They are counting the number of people.

Gu Qingshan asked tentatively, "Isn't that person who rummaged through our storage bags also counted as one?" ”

I asked this question mainly for fear that everyone would find out that Shizun was the one who did it in the future, so I would test everyone's reaction first.

Gu Qingshan can understand the hardships of the master, and in this matter, he must stand on the side of the master.

I saw that the monks looked at me, and I looked at you, and they were a little hesitant.

The thief didn't steal anything, he just flipped through everyone's Taoist recipes.

But......

"I've seen my Dao recipe Jade Jane," said one of the monks, "and based on the fluctuations of the magic remaining on the Jade Slip, I found that the Jade Slip had been copied. ”

"Hmph, mine too, someone copied a copy - stole the unique trick below, and swore to this person below." One snorted coldly.

Another said: "It doesn't matter if you take some spirit stones, but the Dao Recipe is the foundation of our monk's life, since that person dares to steal my Dao Technique, I will never be able to cooperate with this person." ”

"Yes!"

"Exactly!"

The monks all chimed in, and the crowd was furious.

Gu Qingshan shook his head, glanced at the spirit turtle, and prepared to leave.

At this time, a monk suddenly laughed and said proudly: "The following Dao recipe is the most precious one of the sects, and it takes time to comprehend it every day, so I have been on guard for a long time, but that person has never succeeded. ”

"Oh? You didn't put the jade slip in the storage bag? Another monk asked.

The monk said, "Look, everyone! ”

And the people went as he hoped.

I saw that in the void above his head, layers of magic circle runes flashed.

In the dense array, there was a jade slip floating back and forth alone.

The monk said: "There are so many magic circles around me, even if I want to take them out, it will take a lot of effort, and it is impossible for the thief to take advantage of my unpreparedness and succeed at once." ”

"And as long as these magic circles are affected in the slightest, the jade slips will be immediately teleported back to our world and appear in the sect's scripture pavilion."

"So even if I die, there will be no problem with the Dao Jue Jade Jane."

The monk was a little proud, and said with a smile: "This is a foolproof method, and even if that thief tries his best, it will never be possible to steal my trick." ”

When the monks heard this, they thought about it, and found that there was nothing they could do.

"Well, that's a good idea."

"Hidden in the void, guarded by the magic circle, but I don't hold it myself, it's really a wonderful idea."

"Haha, that thief must be deflated now."

"It deserves that thief's hard work in vain, and he didn't get anything from Daoyou, it's really happy."

The monks laughed in admiration.

"Next time, if I catch that thief, I must torture the thief to relieve my depression."

"Yes, that's exactly how it should be."

"Kill the man, the woman, hehe, let her know how good we are."

"Exactly, hahaha."

Gu Qingshan listened quietly, his eyes narrowed.

You—

The Tao recipe was copied and I was in a bad mood, which I can understand.

But you insulted my master in front of me......

Then ......

"Turtle Shao, let's go." Gu Qingshan said to the Spirit Turtle.

"Ah, okay."

The two of them moved and flew towards the city.

Unable to fly a cup of tea, they had already landed in the city, entered a palace, and came to Xie Daoling.

"Master, how did you get smaller?" Gu Qingshan was surprised.

Xie Daoling's real body is naturally still seven or eight years old.

"Well, it's just a spell, and it's very useful to me, so I haven't solved it for the time being." She said.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion from the city wall, which spread throughout the city.

The spirit turtle couldn't help but say: "It's strange, when we just left, they were fine, why are they making trouble now." ”

"Because of this." Gu Qingshan said lightly.

He held out his hand.

I saw a jade slip appear in his hand.

Gu Qingshan's mind penetrated into it and memorized the contents.

Sure enough, it's a very good recipe.

He threw the jade slip lightly and let it fly in front of Xie Daoling.

"Master, the trick on this jade slip seems to be unusual, I still have something to do later, I can't go back to the Shenwu World, and I ask Shizun to bring it back to the sect." Gu Qingshan Road.

Xie Daoling took the jade slip, glanced at it a few times, and then smiled.

"Yes, this recipe covers the Five Elements Technique, Secret Technique, Knife, Sword, Stick, Divine Power and other methods, which is very useful for our world."

She put the jade slip away.

The spirit turtle's eyes kept staring at the jade slip, and he immediately recognized that it was the person just now.

It couldn't help but ask, "Gu Qingshan, how did you get this jade slip?" ”

Gu Qingshan coughed lightly and said, "There is a treasure in Qiankun, I am good at borrowing it." ”

Xie Daoling's eyes lit up suddenly, and he repeated it in a low voice, patted the chair and said: "This is a wonderful saying, the so-called Taoism originally comes from heaven and earth, and the things of heaven and earth are naturally taken by those who are good at borrowing them, not from others, but from heaven and earth. ”

"That's right, that's right, what the master said is very true!" Gu Qingshan exclaimed.

The spirit turtle looked at Xie Daoling, and then at Gu Qingshan.

- The master and apprentice both have a unique skill in stealing things, and their words are also pompous.

In other words, isn't the Hundred Flowers Sect the inheritance sect of the Desolate Cloud Heavenly Palace?

This is a famous and decent family that has been inherited for thousands of years!

It's bright!

"I believe you are ghosts," the spirit turtle sighed in his heart, and said gloomy, "You Hundred Flowers Sect masters and apprentices are really bad. ”
