Volume 1 Chapter 182 News of the Artifact
Thinking of this, Gu Le couldn't help but glance up at Bai Jinshi. At this time, once this person reveals his identity, he will inevitably fall into danger.
She had already prepared a defensive posture, but to her surprise, Bai Jinshi let out a faint "um" and did not speak again. Gu Le thought that this person did not recognize the deep meaning of the old Taoist priest's words, but he saw a calm and clear understanding from Bai Jinshi's eyes.
Sure enough, the old Taoist priest showed an ambiguous expression on his face, and naturally thought that the relationship between the two was not so ordinary, so he didn't ask again.
Gu Le glanced at Bai Jin a little complicatedly, and happened to look at the other party's black eyes with deep meaning, which were as black as a bottomless spring, which made people unable to see through. Just by glancing at it, Gu Le lowered his head and tried to shrink his sense of existence.
Bai Jinshi naturally knew what this girl was thinking, and probably guessed the reason why Gu Le's bloodline was similar to his own......
Thinking of the "dead" eldest brother, his eyes dimmed for a second - he didn't know when Gu Le and Bai Xiuhan met, and they had such a close relationship. Thinking that these things were not within his control, but in an instant, he returned to an indifferent expression.
After teasing Bai Jin, the old Taoist priest suddenly became serious, put aside the crutches he was holding, and sat on the ground. Before he sat down, with a flick of his finger, the entire cave became bright. At this time, Gu Le had the opportunity to scan left and right, and found the familiar mural - this is the cave that connects Niu Mountain and Wu Mountain, and it ...... If she hadn't guessed wrong, this place would not have been much wrong from the Three Realms Gate where she had first entered the cave!
Have they discovered their own secrets?
She was silent, but in private, she had already taken out a knife from her pocket, ready to arrange a formation at any time to guard against the sudden attack of the two people. However, the Taoist priest just sat quietly on the ground, taking out the array plate in his hand and slowly fiddling with something.
Gu Le thought he was arranging the hexagram array, but when he saw that the final method was different from any way of arranging the formation, Gu Le stared at this formation a little well. But her gaze was not abrupt, and Bai Jinshi next to her had been staring at the formation of the person in front of her with burning eyes.
Qi Gu Le, he became a little anxious now, and asked, "Dao Chief, what are you doing divination?" β
The old Taoist priest's hand kept moving, but his face suddenly became serious: "I have already sensed the news that there seems to be an artifact around, but I have not been able to divinate its whereabouts. And today, in this position, I can once again feel the news of this artifact. β
He stroked his beard again, and his face showed a confident expression: "I took the senior brother in charge to give me the tortoise shell of the Soul Searching God, and this time I will definitely be able to find the whereabouts of that artifact!" β
At this time, the old Taoist priest's face suddenly froze, and he suddenly raised his head suddenly, staring directly in the direction of Gu Le.
Gu Le's heart jumped when he saw it, and he vaguely had a bad premonition. Sure enough, in the next second, the old Taoist priest suddenly laughed and said to Bai Jinshi: "The old Taoist has been looking for so many years, and it really takes no effort to come here?" You...... You're really playing tricks on me, do you think I'm really blind? β
Bai Jinshi looked stunned, and he didn't understand why the old Taoist priest, who was fine just now, suddenly showed a cold expression. He turned his head, followed the Taoist priest's gaze on Gu Le's body, and after glancing around, he suddenly revealed an unbelievable thought.
Artifact...... Is it in this girl's body?!
Thinking of this, his expression did not become excited, but reflexively frowned. Bai Jin also knew that with his acquiescence just now, this old Taoist priest would never believe that he didn't know about it, but would think that he and Gu Le were colluding with each other, vainly trying to use this artificial traction to finally get to his destination.
Therefore, Bai Jinshi was reluctant to explain more, and said in a light tone: "I know you don't want to believe my words, but whether you want to get the artifact or the secret of your body, you need our help, don't you?" β
Gu Le was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized - could it be that the secret of this artifact has not been opened yet? Suddenly, she thought of those rumors about the Bai family's artifact, some said that it could be transferred, some said that it could be resurrected, and some said that it could fulfill people's wishes. However, it seems that no one has ever seen this artifact, so it is just a legend after all.
Thinking of this, Gu Le's brows furrowed even tighter, and his eyes swept back and forth at the two men who were staring at him, looking out of his body.
However, the old way really didn't lie to anyone, squinted his eyes and looked at Gu Le in front of him, revealing a solemn smile: "I don't care about your object, but if you can honestly hand over the artifact you carry, and tell me the secret of this side, I can let you live." β
When Gu Le looked at Bai Jin, who had an ugly face on the side, he said in his heart, I really don't know if this old man is really so cruel and forcibly kills useless people. It's a pity that Bai Jin was a smart person all his life, but in the end he was used.
However, the most important thing to consider at the moment is your own safety. Gu Le calmed down, shook his head and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, I'm just the daughter of a family that Old Man Bai has settled to marry, and I don't know what the artifact you are talking about is." β
At this time, it is the stupidest way to say your biggest bottom line. And Gu Le is gambling - betting that this person will never hurt himself until he gets what he wants.
Sure enough, although the momentum around the Taoist priest became a little colder, although his expression was terrifying and cold, and his fingers flicked a few times, he didn't make any next moves.
At that sentence just now, Gu Le and Bai Jinshi were staring at his every move, and suddenly saw the old Taoist priest smile, shook his head and said, "Indeed, I care about that thing on your body, but I won't be helpless against you, after all...... Your old friend is still a complete ordinary person, he doesn't have what I need, I am naturally fearless, I am afraid that you will not die without help. β
Gu Le's face sank, and sure enough, he threatened again, but the object of this means was from Bai Jin to Gu Le's own body. As he said, when Bai Jin, who is so ordinary that he is no longer ordinary, he has been figured out the bottom line, and he has no use value so far, and he has also been stuck with the title of "fiancΓ©", which is the best threat object.
So, how can you get out of here with all your body while ensuring Bai Jin's safety?
On the other side, Bai Jinshi's face was even more ugly, his gaze swept over Gu Le's body, and when he met the old Taoist priest again, his face became a little pale - he understood that he was being regarded as an outcast. At this moment, only this relationship between himself and Gu Le made the old Taoist priest have scruples, once this girl abandons her own safety, then she can naturally become a dispensable cannon fodder.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at Gu Le, but at this moment, he was obviously stunned. The girl in front of her had a cold face, even in the face of a Taoist priest whose ability was far stronger than herself, she was so calm and indifferent, like a princess high up, no one could make her hang her noble head.
It's just that......
Thinking of this, Bai Jinshi lowered his gaze, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth - even if the current situation was favorable to the two of them, the danger was like a fierce beast with fangs behind him, which would pounce and bite himself anytime and anywhere.
Then, once encountering such a dangerous situation, even the most good and pure people will be selfish, abandon their teammates in order to ensure their own safety, and even betray their teammates, not to mention ...... He's done so many things to hurt her, how can he be considered a teammate?
Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Bai Jinshi's mouth, and it was only for this moment that his eyes became indifferent again, and those panics, doubts, and anxieties all melted away, and they were reincorporated into his bottomless eyes.
However, these were not seen by Gu Le, she just stared at the old Taoist priest in front of her, hiding them with her hands
It's just that she still occupies a powerful condition - this old Taoist priest has bad legs and feet, and his ability is not as good, but if he distances himself, he will have an innate advantage. So, the only thing to do is how to distance yourself from the old Taoist.
Her fingers curled, and her gaze suddenly fell on a point behind the old Taoist. In an instant, with the flick of her fingers, something shot rapidly towards the old Taoist. However, the old Taoist priest did not dodge, and Gu Le, who was staring at Gu Le with a pair of cold eyes, seemed to be staring at a dead man.
The object fell on his body, which was originally just an ordinary silk cloth, but after touching the old Taoist's body, the silk cloth suddenly swelled countless times, and tied it straight to the old Taoist's body a few times, tying him up strongly.
At this moment, he also moved, and with a movement of his fingers, the trapped rope was cut into several sections. Then it was connected out of thin air and flew back in the direction of Gu Le.
However, Gu Le only needed a moment of delay, and she quickly touched the raised stone wall, a blood pattern that had been arranged long ago seemed to outline the surface, and with a "boom-" sound, the stone wall completely collapsed.
