In Duan Feiqiu's opinion, Gu Xiangcheng is very interesting. He was just a mortal, half a foot had just stepped into the cultivation period, and he might not even have learned how to gather qi, but he was not afraid of the gods.

But he behaved so harmless in front of Shen Yan, like a big cat carefully reining in its sharp claws and fangs, meekly and obediently revealing its soft belly.

"If you continue to look like this, I'm afraid I'll be tempted to kill gods." It seemed that he couldn't bear to look at him, and Gu Xiangcheng didn't look back.

Duan Feiqiu chuckled lightly and looked away. He knew that what Gu Xiangcheng said was just a joke, but he didn't want to provoke a person who really had this ability, not to mention that this person made him appreciate it very much.

"What is the relationship between you and the Pavilion Master of Cloud Makeup Pavilion?"

Gu Xiangcheng glanced at him, pursed the corners of his mouth and said nothing.

Duan Feiqiu was interested, and guessed: "Lover? Taoist couples? But it doesn't look like it...... Oh~ I see, you have a crush on him, right? ”

Gu Xiangcheng stopped angrily and said, "Will the gods gossip like this?" Can't you just keep your mouth shut? ”

"No, if this problem is not solved, I will be suffocated!" Duan Feiqiu snorted confidently, "Tell me, what is the situation?" Why are you so interested in him? ”

Gu Xiangcheng knew that reasoning didn't make sense, so he simply agreed indiscriminately: "Didn't you say it?" I have a crush on him. So, is it okay to shut up and walk now? ”

Duan Feiqiu: "......" can you be more perfunctory?

Gu Xiangcheng didn't look at his pretended aggrieved face, looked up and looked around, his expression relaxed for a moment: "It's here." ”

"Arrived? So fast? Duan Feiqiu was stunned, "I still have to go for a few days!" ”

"Yangui Town is already near Qingming Mountain, otherwise Xie Qingming would not have picked it to attack." Gu Xiangcheng pointed to the mountain surrounded by clouds and mist in front of him, and said, "See?" There is the Green Shadow Mountain. ”

Qingming Mountain was originally just a bare mountain with no grass and no birds laying eggs, but it was only after Xie Qingming settled here that he gradually regained his vitality. Today's Qingming Mountain is lush and verdant, even if it is not a small distance, but the spiritual power in the air is very sufficient.

"Sure enough, it's a treasure land!" Duan Feiqiu exclaimed, "I can't complain that Xie Qingming is unwilling to go down the mountain, if it were me, I would rather live in seclusion in the mountain and cultivate!" ”

"It's not that no one has ever beaten Qingming Mountain before, but they were all defeated by Xie Qingming. Over time, no one dared to provoke her anymore. Gu Xiangcheng didn't look back, he seemed to be very familiar with this place, not like it was the first time he came.

Duan Feiqiu's eyes flashed with contemplation, his expression became serious, and he followed behind Gu Xiangcheng step by step. There were a lot of suspicions about this man, which made him more and more curious.

After walking for another half hour, the two came to the foot of the mountain. A puppeteer crouched at the door of the dilapidated inn, his face unresolvably sad. Even though he knew that it was not a living person, Duan Feiqiu was still shocked by the other party's rich expression: "Wow...... Is this really a puppet and not a person? ”

"Hmm. Xie Qingming's talent in silk drawing is the highest in the Xie family. Before the Xie family's accident, the puppet made by Xie Qingming can be said to be hard to find. Gu Xiangcheng glanced at the puppet, it should be the shopkeeper in Shen Yanmeng, he looked at it for a while, and then walked towards the mountain, "I don't know if you have heard of a limerick poem - 'Xie Jiabao is a green tree, and the son of Dongyang is a little Fangping.'" Where is the true immortal in the world, it refers to the heavenly machine He Xiling. ’”

Duan Feiqiu was at a loss. Should he have heard of it? It has been said that they know very little about mortal affairs, as long as it does not involve the life and death of mortals within their jurisdiction, generally speaking, they will not enter the world casually.

Gu Xiangcheng obviously just mentioned it casually, and didn't expect Duan Feiqiu to give any decent answer. He pointed to a woodbird in front of him—the woodbird flew towards the top of the mountain when they entered the mountain, and now it actually came back again—"Look, this is probably Xie Qingming's deliberate stay to lead us into the mountain. ”

Duan Feiqiu said: "...... So why did she bother? I want to escape from the world again, but someone really comes and takes the initiative to provoke? ”

"It's not you and me who she wants to provoke, it's Shen Yan." Gu Xiangcheng said softly, staring at the wooden bird without blinking.

Unlike other delicately crafted puppets, this woodbird is not even "rough", with an exceptionally large head and very small wings. I don't know how it flies with this incongruous structure.

Gu Xiangcheng thought about it and felt that this bird might not have been made by Xie Qingming, but by Shen Yan. Also, when Xie Qingming brought Shen Yan to Qingming Mountain, he didn't reveal his original form from the beginning and wanted to make him a living puppet. During that time, Shen Yan followed Xie Qingming to learn the silk drawing technique, and also made a lot of puppets.

This wooden bird is supposed to be made when Shen Yan was in the first snow.

Gu Xiangcheng raised his hand, and the bird flew down from the branch as if it was conscious, and stopped on his fingers. Duan Feiqiu was amazed, and was about to say something, when he saw the wooden bird's mouth move, and then, a voice came from his stomach: "Your guest has come to the door, the concubine has missed her welcome, please forgive me." ”

Duan Feiqiu's eyes widened in shock, and he pointed at the wooden bird and was speechless for a long time. Gu Xiangcheng was indifferent, and said calmly: "It's okay, there is labor to lead the way." ”

The wooden bird tilted his head with great effort, and his huge head seemed to fall off in the next moment, which made people worry to watch. Fortunately, it is just a puppet after all, although its limbs are extremely uncoordinated, but with the support of spiritual power, it will not die for a while. It fluttered its short wings and fluttered in one direction.

Seeing this, Gu Xiangcheng grabbed Duan Feiqiu's arm and said in a low voice, "Keep up!" ”

"Huh?" Duan Feiqiu was stunned for a moment, and was dragged to a stagger, "Hey, I said you-"

"Shh......h Don't talk. Gu Xiangcheng lowered his voice, raised his chin slightly, and motioned for him to look behind.

Duan Feiqiu turned his face suspiciously, the black mist that came from nowhere spread rapidly to this side, devouring everything around them, if they were one step later, they would probably have to be accompanied by this black mist.

"What the hell!" Duan Feiqiu was so frightened by the resentment in the black mist that his hair stood on end, "This, what's ...... here?"

"This is the resentment of the person who was made a puppet by Xie Qingming. Gathering here for many years, if you don't check, you will be entangled. Gu Xiangcheng dragged him and stumbled behind the wooden bird, pushing away the branches that were in the way from time to time.

"What do you mean is that Xie Qingming's puppet is actually not wood and stone, but ...... It's ......"

"At the beginning, Xie Qingming did use wood and stone as his body to make puppets. However, after all, the wood and stone have no spirits, and no matter how high Xie Qingming's talent is, he can't support the spiritual power consumption of so many puppets. After a long time, she hit the idea on the dead cultivator. ”

A cultivator who has stepped into the world of immortal cultivation with one foot may not be as spiritual as a Dacheng immortal cultivator, but it is already the best substitute for Mu Shi, who can only rely on the spiritual power of his master to move.

At first, Xie Qingming only set his eyes on the dead cultivators. Although their bodies are dead, the spiritual power in their bodies has not dissipated for a while, and it is the most suitable time to make them puppets at this time.

However, there are quite a lot of restrictions on the way of cultivating immortals, and there are not many cultivators in hundreds of years. Xie Qing's meditation on using dead people as puppets was almost whimsical. After a long time, people outside began to talk about it, mocking her openly and secretly. Even the people of the Xie family hinted that she should not think nonsense all day long, and that it was the right way to study the filigreament.

Xie Qingming has been sought after since he was a child, and he has an arrogant temperament, how could he stand such ridicule? So her eyes were not just on the dead.

Twenty years ago, the Xie family was wiped out overnight, except for Xie Qingming, who went out and did not return, almost no one in the Xie family remained! Everyone thought that they had been victimized by the enemy, and they all felt sorry for it. But who would have thought that there was no so-called "enemy" at all, and some were just an orphan daughter of the Xie family who went mad - Xie Qingming?

After listening to Gu Xiangcheng's words, Duan Feiqiu's entire god was not good! He really didn't expect such a thing to happen to Xie Qingming. "But if what you say is true, after so many years, no one will seek revenge from her?"

"Revenge? Why retaliate? Gu Xiangcheng sneered, "She is the only survivor of the Xie family, who would suspect her?" ”

Duan Feiqiu raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart, this is not necessarily, don't you doubt her?

Gu Xiangcheng said again: "I don't count!" ”

Duan Feiqiu: "......"

Oh.

The two of them followed the woodbird as fast as they could, and somehow got out of the first bushes, and finally got rid of the black fog behind them. The black fog formed by the condensation of countless people's grievances gradually dissipated, and the woods behind him were still vibrant.

A short walk along, an elaborate palace rises from the ground. Surprisingly, there are pavilions and water in this palace, which is quite decent.

For Duan Feiqiu, who is used to living in palaces, this is just an ordinary small place, not worth mentioning. Gu Xiangcheng was surprised, touched his chin thoughtfully: "It seems that this palace has only been built in recent years." ”

"What do you care of him so much? What about Xie Qingming? Do you live here? Duan Feiqiu arrived at his destination, and his eyes flashed fiercely.

Gu Xiangcheng nodded: "Should-hey, don't be impulsive!" Now that Xie Qingming hasn't shown up yet, you are rushing in so quickly, do you want to be made into a puppet? ”

"Joke! I'm the patron saint of Yangui Town, can I be made a puppet by her? Who do you look down on? Duan Feiqiu raised his head proudly.

Gu Xiangcheng nodded expressionlessly, and said, "Yes, I don't know who was deceived by Xie Qingming, and almost single-handedly destroyed the Yangui Town that he guarded." ”

"You!"

Just as the two were at a stalemate, a figure of Na walked out of the hall. The man was dressed in red, with white hair tied up in a simple bun and a delicate makeup on his face. She Shi Shiran walked up to the two, smiled and blessed her body, and said, "The distinguished guest comes to the door, and the concubine is so polite." ”

"Don't dare. The junior Gu Jiaocheng has seen the senior. ”

It wasn't until this moment that Gu Xiangcheng really realized the strength of the person in front of him. The coercion on her body is unmatched by Duan Feiqiu! And she is the Xie family treasure tree that has been admired for decades, Xie Qingming.
