I looked at the master in a daze, and Hu Qingxuan also came to the master's side with a puzzled face, and looked in the direction where Gu Tan disappeared. For Gu Tan's indifferent attitude, I am full of complaints, a few of us ran desperately to rescue you, and we didn't say a word of thanks. It's not so hostile to us, is it? It's infuriating. But fortunately, Gu Tan didn't get the "Patriarch's Message", and our efforts can be regarded as having some gains.

However, for some reason, Master stood quietly in place, not knowing what he was thinking. I couldn't help but say to Master: "Master, even if Gu Tan is allowed to run, at least he didn't take the Patriarch's Message, and our trip is worth it, but why do you ...... Master, what are you thinking? After speaking, Hu Qingxuan and I glanced at each other, both staring at the master without blinking.

"No!" The master shook his head, then sighed deeply, and then said: "Gu Tan took the "Patriarch's Message", and the value of our trip is also gone......" Hearing this, Hu Qingxuan and I both had big mouths, and at the same time, I quickly ran to the crack in the stone that was sealed by the master, and then ran back.

Hu Qingxuan frowned, thought about it, and immediately asked his master, "Senior Brother Yang, what do you mean...... Senior Brother Gu opened the brocade box? Took away the book of not ecclesiastes inside? But haven't you checked it, and the Taoist book inside is not lost! ”

"Alas! We were all deceived by Gu Tan, but unfortunately, it was too late to know now! ”

The master shook his head weakly again, and then said, "The Patriarch's Oracle is indeed still in the brocade box, but when I opened the brocade box, I found that there was no hidden card in it, which means that someone must have opened the brocade box. After that, Gu Tan just made a gesture to let Shangguan Jin compete with us, but he didn't do anything, until I sealed the brocade box, Gu Tan didn't argue, let alone stay, and left directly with Shangguan Jin. Think about it, Gu Tan Jiu came here all his life to take away the Taoist book, but he didn't get it now, why did he leave so willingly? This is not in line with his character, and I definitely can't mistake Gu Tan about this! ”

Hu Qingxuan frowned again and said, "But Senior Brother Gu didn't take the Taoist book with him, how can he collect all the Sanmao oracles?" The Sanmao oracle is indispensable, and only when the three Taoist books are collected can we spy on the opportunities of heaven and earth and seize the creation of the sun and the moon. Heaven and earth, omniscient, omniscient. However, Senior Brother Gu easily gave up this "Patriarch's Message", Senior Brother Yang, is your inference wrong? ”

"Naturally, there will be no mistakes." The master shook his head seriously, and at the same time said: "Gu Tan has been trapped here for more than ten days, during this period with the blessing of the patriarch's edict, that ruthless dare not do anything to Gu Tan, but Gu Tan wants to calmly take away the patriarch's edict, and the ruthless will not let him go, so they have confronted him until now." However, during this period, if Gu Tan wants to take away the ancestral oracle, he doesn't need to take away the original handiwork at all, he only needs to memorize the content of the Taoist book, and after he leaves the mountain, he will write it out silently and copy a copy, so that although it is a transcription, it is also the true oracle of the patriarch! ”

"Huh?"

Hu Qingxuan and I exclaimed in unison, so it is so, no wonder Gu Tan didn't care about the authentic work of the "Patriarch's Message" sealed by the master when he left, but he didn't expect him to take it away, but took it away in the way of memory. Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked Master, "Master, then, what should we do now?" Immediately find Gu Tan, completely break with Xianzong, and confine him to Maoshan without taking half a step? ”

"If I could see through his tricks at that time, it would be better to say, now that I have sealed the authentic work, as long as Gu Tan dies and does not admit it, even if our Tantric and Sutra sects tear their faces, I am afraid that it will not be convincing!" The master sighed deeply: "At that time, the sutra and the tantric sect will completely start a battle for the pulse, so, the ancestor will be ashamed, and in this way, the master will be ashamed of the Maoshan faction!" ”

After a pause, the master continued: "I didn't expect Shangguan Jin to fail to fulfill his promise and persuade Gu Tan to give up the "Patriarch's Message", or maybe Shangguan Jin was still kept in the dark by Gu Tan, even if he wanted to persuade him, he was afraid that with Gu Tan's temper, Shangguan Jin would never be able to persuade him." Alas, in the final analysis, it was all because the teacher thought it was too simple at first, he just wanted to save Gu Tan by pushing the boat down the river, and then he knew the reason, so that he gave up the idea of "Patriarch's Message", and with the grace of saving his life, I thought he would not refuse, but what happened now is completely beyond what the teacher expected, it is all for the teacher's fault......"

"Senior Brother Yang, don't be too sentimental and remorseful, maybe there is a certain number in the dark." Hu Qingxuan kept frowning, never let go of half a point, hesitated for a moment, Hu Qingxuan said in a low voice: "Maybe Gu Tan's collection of Sanmao oracles is also his fate, but now no matter what, Senior Brother Yang, you have to make a way to deal with it, although Gu Tan has obtained the ancestral oracle, but without the other two Taoist books, Gu Tan has not been able to find the final ancestral token!" ”

"Yes, Master, we should come up with a way to deal with it right now!"

I very much agree with Hu Qingxuan's statement, after all, it is too late to say anything, and the only thing that can be done is to prevent Gu Tan from not being able to get the other two non-preaching books. "Master, if Gu Tan gets the first book, then he must be desperate to find the second book now, but whether it is the "Shangqing Oracle" or the "Divine Ghost Oracle", we can't let him succeed!"

The master thought for a while, and then said to himself: "It is recorded in ancient books that those who have obtained the "Shangqing Edict" can enter the world and select good talents to help the world...... Those who get the "Divine and Ghost Oracle" can order the ghosts and gods of the world to be used for their own use, Shangqing refers to the sky, gods and ghosts refer to the earth, and the ancestor refers to the five qi of the world...... "I smacked my lips, and I didn't know what the master was talking about, I didn't understand what the master meant at all, and I didn't know why the master would say something that had nothing to do with stopping Gu Tan.

I looked at Hu Qingxuan, who immediately made a silent gesture to me and motioned for me to listen carefully to Master.

After a long while, the master slowly put his hands behind his back and said lightly: "If Gu Tan gets the "Patriarch's Message", the next step will definitely be to find the other two Taoist books, which is a matter of no suspense. It's just that will he go to find the "Shangqing Oracle" first or the "Divine Ghost Oracle" first? These three Mao oracles are all hidden, and if you want to find them, if it is not a great opportunity, you need the ability to create through the mysteries! ”

Hu Qingxuan nodded, and then said: "Senior Brother Yang is right, but I don't know what method Gu Tan used to find the location of this "Patriarch's Message", since he can find the *** book, it means that he can find the other two, and now the most important thing for Senior Brother Yang is to clearly know where Gu Tan went, what he wants to do, and what he wants to do must be related to finding the other two Taoist books." ”

"I don't know about this, but I don't have a clue right now." The master frowned, and after a long time, he sighed lightly: "Let's leave this Jiao Hall first, and then go back to it." Now stopping Gu Tan is the first priority, and as for finding the ancestor token, it can only depend on their respective creations......" After speaking, the master shook his head slightly, and slowly walked outside, and I hurriedly followed behind the master.

About two days later, our group finally returned to the ground from the Jiudian on the ninth floor of the basement, but it was a moonlit night when we came, and when we came out, it was still a moonlit night. But this night was not the other night, but the moonlight did not change much. After more than half a month of hard work, we finally walked back and forth from the underground Jiaodian. This trip is thrilling, terrifying, moving, and embarrassing.

But every scene will be deeply engraved in my heart and will never be forgotten. Zhang Xuan's predecessor, I will never forget him, but the place where there should have been a thatched house seems to have long been gone. Zhang Xuan's predecessor may still be there, but we are not in the same interface after all, he belongs to the ghost immortal of the netherworld, and we are the big living people of the yang realm, if he doesn't want me to see him anymore, I will never be able to see him.

Hu Qingxuan exhaled deeply and let out a sullen breath, and turned to his master with a fist salute: "Senior Brother Yang, what are your masters and apprentices going to do now?" ”

"Well, I don't have a clue right now." Master replied simply.

Hu Qingxuan nodded, and then said: "In this case, if Senior Brother Yang doesn't dislike it, it is better to stay in the cold house for a few days, first, so that you master and apprentice can recuperate, and secondly, you can recuperate, and slowly think about how to stop Senior Brother Gu." Senior Brother Yang, what do you think? After speaking, Hu Qingxuan looked at my master with expectation, but my master's face was full of sadness, and he didn't pay attention to Hu Qingxuan's words at all.

Soon, the master turned his head in astonishment, and smiled awkwardly at Hu Qingxuan: "Thank you Qingxuan for your kindness, but our master and apprentice are now in trouble, and there are many important things waiting to be done, so it is inconvenient to go to your residence to disturb, so it is better to go back first." After these things, your master and apprentice can be regarded as nine deaths and a lifetime, which is quite hard, and these should not be hard for you, but they ...... Qingxuan, you should go back with five catties, and teach your disciples more in the future, so that they can comprehend the avenue of heaven and earth, live up to the grace of the ancestors, and live up to the expectations of helping the world! ”

"Senior Brother Yang, but if we leave like this, what should you do?"

Hu Qingxuan still seems to be a little worried about me and Master.

The Master smiled indifferently and said, "We who practice the Tao are alone and have nothing to worry about, what should we do?" You can do what you want, you can rest assured, the injuries on our bodies are all skin injuries, and they are not in the way. Qingxuan, don't say goodbye! After that, the master solemnly hugged his fist to Hu Qingxuan, and Hu Qingxuan hesitated, and had no choice but to return the salute to the master's fist, so Hu Qingxuan turned around and left with five catties.
