Gu Yunzhe and Guan Shan Jushi took a carriage and slowly stopped in front of the archway. After the two got out of the car, Daotong Cangyun drove the carriage away. Standing in front of the archway, Gu Yunzhe found that the archway in front of him was also majestic and abnormal.

Although this archway is also made of black wood, the patterns on it are very exquisite. On each side are three tall gateposts, five feet high. The middle one is thicker, and the two sides are slightly thinner. Above is a piece of stone, carved into the pattern of cloud and thunder, in the middle of which is engraved with four majestic characters "Tao dominates the world".

Guan Shan Jushi saw that Gu Yunzhe was very interested in this archway, he smiled slightly, "Gu Shi, this archway is the master who came here to expand the territory, show his might, and completely drive out the alien races entrenched here, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor thanked the contribution of my sect, and ordered people to build the archway here to promote our merits to the world." ”

Gu Yunzhe raised his eyebrows slightly, "Forgive Gu for being presumptuous, dare to ask what the lineage of the layman is?" ”

"Kongtong Mountain, Guangchengzi." The moment Guan Shan Jushi reported his master's door, his whole body exuded an aura of pride.

Gu Yunzhe naturally heard of Guangchengzi's name, and hurriedly bowed his hand: "It turns out that the layman is a subordinate of Kongtong Guangchengzi, and he is disrespectful!" ”

Guan Shan Jushi smiled slightly and waved his hand, "Gu Shi, what a courtesy!" Guang Chengzi is my ancestor, and I am just a fifty-six generation of disciples with mediocre qualifications. This is not the place to speak, please follow me into the city lord's palace and meet the city lord of Nanyu. ”

Gu Yunzhe nodded, "Please!" After speaking, he followed Guan Shan and walked inside.

The two walked through the archway, stepped on the stone path, and walked inside. On both sides of the road were wide squares, but although the square seemed empty at the moment, Gu Yunzhe could feel the strong vitality, which surprised him.

Before coming to the palace, Guan Shan stopped at the foot of the steps, and shouted loudly: "Supervisor Guan Shan, bring the person recommended by Nantianmen, Gu Jun Yunzhe, come to see the city lord of Nanyu." ”

As soon as his words fell, countless rays of light of different colors bloomed in the corridor of the palace in front of him, and then from the light appeared a sergeant in armor, and at the same time, the seemingly empty square on both sides of the square was also rippling, revealing rows of armored warriors.

"Kneel!" The warriors in the corridor looked at Gu Yunzhe and the two and shouted in unison. The sergeants on both sides followed, shouting in unison, "Kneel! ......" The sound exploded like thunder, causing clouds to surge in the sky above the square in an instant.

Gu Yunzhe frowned slightly, but soon regained his indifference, looking at the armored warriors standing in the corridor with a smile on his face.

But the Guanshan monk on the side was a little embarrassed, he thought that the city lord's move was very inappropriate, after all, Gu Yunzhe was recommended by Nantianmen and received by the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor of the main city. Guan Shan Jushi stepped forward, bowed his hand, and was about to speak.

Suddenly, the armored warriors in the corridor looked at him and shouted again, "Retreat!" And the sergeants in the square followed closely behind, shouting: "Retreat! ”

Guan Shan's face changed, and he was about to speak again, when he suddenly felt someone pat on the shoulder, turned his head to look over, and found that it was Gu Yunzhe's hand. looked at Gu Yunzhe again, and found that Gu Yunzhe shook his head at him and motioned for him not to speak.

Gu Yunzhe clenched his fists with both hands, faced the palace, and raised it high, "Mortal monk Gu Yunzhe, please forgive me for breaking into the immortal realm." I came here only to seek a way to return. If the city lord knows, I hope the city lord will give you some advice. With that, he bent down and bowed.

Guan Shan Jushi looked at Gu Yunzhe on the side, and then turned to look at the palace above.

At this moment, inside the palace, on both sides of the passage in the middle of the main hall, there are two rows of futons, close to the innermost two sides on the three futons, one person each. These six people have different shapes and different clothes. But there is one thing in common, they all have their eyes slightly closed, and they don't care about themselves.

Next to them was a platform, two steps higher than the one below. A gauze curtain fell, and it was vaguely visible that behind it was a wide screen, and in front of the screen, there was a tall figure, sitting cross-legged on a futon.

After Gu Yunzhe's voice came in from outside, the seven people in the hall all opened their eyes and turned their heads to look outside.

After a long time, an ethereal voice came from inside the palace, "Mortal people, Gu Yunzhe, you are guilty. ”

"I just strayed into this place, not intentionally. I don't know which law is violated and what is the law? Gu Yunzhe said counterproductively.

That voice came again, "It has destroyed the immortal barrier and left a huge hidden danger to the mortal world. People in the mortal world may be injured by the qi of the fairy world or even die because of the actions of one of you. Which one do you think you have committed? ”

Gu Yunzhe was silent after hearing this, what this person said was indeed true, at that time, after this big hole was opened, the immortal qi in it entered the mortal world, and those who were under it at that time fell into a deep coma. If you hadn't blocked it with your body, the consequences would have been really unimaginable. He let out a long sigh, raised his head, and looked into the depths of the hall, "There is a reason for this, Gu didn't expect that Hou Qing would self-destruct his body and break the realm of immortals." ”

"Houqing!" The voice was a little excited, and then, a gust of wind blew out of the main hall, and a tall middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe appeared at the main entrance of the main hall.

The moment Guan Shan saw the middle-aged man, his face was full of excitement, and he hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed, "Meet the city lord of Nanyu, Lord Aoki." ”

The armored warriors on both sides of the corridor, and the countless sergeants on the squares on both sides, all fell to their knees with a "whoosh".

At this moment, only Gu Yunzhe was left, standing there, looking up at the middle-aged man. Hearing Guan Shan call this person "Aoki", he paused, and raised his hands in fists, "Lord Aoki!" ”

City Lord Aoki shook again and came to Gu Yunzhe, "You've seen Houqing!" Is he really dead? ”

Gu Yun Zhedian nodded, "Exactly, I was fortunate to see Houqing's true face." I'm sure I watched him blow himself up in front of me. That kind of power, I'm afraid, is not a trick that can be unleashed. ”

Aoki's face showed a little sadness, and after a moment, he looked at Gu Yunzhe, "Come in!" With that, the figure disappeared.

Gu Yunzhe looked at the place where Aoki disappeared, showing a look of doubt, and then looked at Guan Shan Jushi.

Guan Shan Jushi smiled, "Master Gu, no, I will call you Gu Daoyou in the future." I thought that if I came here, Lord Aoki would let you go directly to the main city. Unexpectedly, Lord Aoki, who rarely came out, actually went out of the palace in person, and also asked you to enter the palace and talk to you in detail. In fact, it is a blessing for Taoist friends! The foolish brother will not accompany you in, and I will wait outside the palace. ”

Gu Yunzhe nodded and chatted with Guan Shan Jushi a few more words. Watching Guan Shan Jushi walk out, he turned around and walked towards the steps. Suddenly, he was slightly stunned, and those armored warriors in the corridor, I don't know when, disappeared again. And looking back, the soldiers on both sides also disappeared.

Stepping on the steps to the palace gate, he glanced inside, but there was no gloomy feeling except for some gloom. Walking into the main hall, directly in front of him was the platform where Aoki was, and at this moment Aoki was kneeling cross-legged on the platform. There were six other people below, sitting cross-legged on the futon under the platform, turning their heads to look at themselves.

Gu Yunzhe did not pause, and walked forward directly in great strides. As soon as he arrived in front of Aoki, a futon slowly flew out from the side, came to a short distance in front of Gu Yunzhe, and fell gently.

"Sit!" Aoki said softly.

Gu Yunzhe was not polite, and sat cross-legged on the futon.

"Tell me in detail what you know about Houqing." Aoki said.

Gu Yunzhe smiled slightly and nodded, "I don't know everything about Houqing. I can only tell you as much as I know about it. The first time I knew about Hou Qing was from many years ago, in an incident of the strange disappearance of a bus, a remnant of spiritual consciousness,...... "Subsequently, he went from encountering the remnants of the 330 bus conductor, to the Gobi to fight against those invading aliens, and then to Mount Tai to find the ghost gate, and he was intimidated into the netherworld. I heard in the underworld that the initiator of that war was Hou Qing, and then returned to the mortal world, and in the fog at the beginning of the year, he broke through the four fierce arrays, and then came to the South China Sea to set up a ring, and fell into the plan of the gods, and finally said that Hou Qing appeared. In the confrontation between the two parties, the beast appeared and was defeated by himself, and then Hou Qing blew himself up and exploded the immortal barrier.

It took about an hour, and the sky outside had already darkened, before he could finish speaking. Although his experience was not long, it was extremely tortuous, and those people listened with relish. Fortunately, Gu Yunzhe only picked out a few things that he thought were related to Houqing, otherwise he wouldn't be able to finish talking about it for another hour.

After Aoki listened, he was silent in thought. And a thin old man sitting on Gu Yunzhe's right hand, close to the platform, suddenly spoke at this moment, "Gu Daoyou, you just said that there was a big battle in the Netherworld not long ago. The entire Netherworld was almost occupied by the underworld. And why do you say that this war is also the work of Hou Qing. ”

Gu Yunzhe pondered for a moment, "This senior, it's not that I think, but the conclusion reached after analyzing the Wu Xiang and Wu Fan of the enlightened Wu clan at that time, as well as the people of the Netherworld that I met later. As for whether it was Hou Qing's doing, and how he manipulated it, I don't know. After meeting Hou Qing, before he had time to ask, the conflict between our two sides entered a white heat. ”

"After you entered the Netherworld, why did you appear in the Netherworld, instead of the ghost gate of the Netherworld?" A burly young man opposite the old man asked in a deep voice.

Gu Yunzhe frowned slightly and shook his head, "At that time, I also asked, the two Venerables of the Wu Clan, according to the two of them, it was they who performed witchcraft, disturbed the aura of the Ghost Gate, and caused the deviation of teleportation. But how they did it, I don't know. ”

"I know one thing, but I don't know the other. How do you get this self-cultivation? Didn't your teacher teach? The old man said with an old-fashioned lesson.

Gu Yunzhe smiled bitterly, "Don't hide it from my predecessors, I really don't have a teacher." There was only one teacher, and he gave directions. By the way, I met my teacher in the Xuanyuan Tomb in the mortal world. I want to ask you why there is a tomb of the Yellow Emperor in the mortal world, and he is the lord of the city here. Do you know why? As he spoke, he glanced at the six men on either side.

Suddenly, Aoki, who was sitting in the center, raised his eyelids and looked at Gu Yunzhe, "Xuanyuan is the name of the clan, as long as it is a person of that clan, it can be named Xuanyuan." However, the Yellow Emperor here is respected as the leader of the alliance because of the strongest person of the Xuanyuan clan, born with divine power, who led the bear army and many tribes to fight against the Chiyou forces and defeat them. As for the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor in your mortal world, it is all a place of vain. ”

Gu Yunzhe nodded after hearing this, feeling that Aoki's words were reasonable, "I've been taught!" ”

Aoki looked at the people on either side of him and signaled that they didn't have anything to ask about. The men looked at him and shook their heads. Aoki looked at Gu Yunzhe, "Gu Daoyou, it's getting late today, you can temporarily settle down in a residence from Guanshan and rest for the night." Wait until tomorrow, I will order Guan Shan to take you to the main city to meet Emperor Xuanyuan. How is it? ”

Gu Yunzhe smiled, "You should listen to it!" If nothing happens, I'm gone. ”

Aoki nodded, allowing him to leave.

Gu Yunzhe stood up, bowed goodbye, and then saluted the six people on both sides, and then walked back.

As soon as he walked five steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned around, and looked at Aoki, "Gu suddenly remembered something, and took the liberty of asking, did the city lord and Houqing ever know each other." ”

Aoki opened his eyes that were already on the wall, looked at Gu Yunzhe, and after a while, nodded, "Not only did I know him, but we were like father and son back then." I was brought up by him. ”

"I see!"
