Just when Gu Xu was about to use the "Divine Machine Token" to shout "Si Leader" for help, the accident happened again.

Two more figures tore through the void and appeared in front of Gu Xu out of thin air.

One of them was a young woman in a blue robe. She wore a complicated hairstyle, a glittering golden headdress, a thick powder on her face, and a thick makeup, as if she were wearing a mask, so that it was impossible to see her true face.

The other wears a floral robe and a high hat, with a large patch of white powder on his face and a red nose on the tip of his nose.

I saw that the blue-robed woman summoned a slender, light cyan sword at a lightning speed, and flashed to Gu Xu's side.

Light green sword qi erupted from the blade, resisting the deadly attack from the man in black for Gu Xu.

As for the clown in the flowered robe, the corners of his mouth are upturned and he has a funny smile.

Behind him, a phantom that was several long and tall also appeared.

This is a fairy wearing a Xuanjing jade crown, wearing a Xuanyu flying robe, and holding a five-colored feather knot, smiling and dark-skinned.

It is the "Giant Gate Star Monarch" who is in charge of Lu Shou and right and wrong in the "Big Dipper Seven Star Monarch" under the command of Emperor Ziwei.

"I didn't expect that this person dressed as a clown turned out to be a Sixth Realm monk with a 'Law Phase'." Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said secretly in his heart.

The "Giant Gate Star Monarch" behind the clown in the flower robe confronts the "Huo De Star Monarch" behind the black-clothed masked man.

Although the two phantoms were motionless, they each exuded terrifying coercion and engaged in an invisible confrontation.

Gu Xu knew that the battle between the "Fa Xiang" was essentially a competition between two monks to comprehend the "Dao".

The man in black is the "Fire Virtue True Monarch", and he undoubtedly masters the Dao method related to fire.

The armored, three-headed, six-armed deity phantom stared at rage, and a bright flame was faintly beating in the depths of his pupils. The blazing heat spread around him, as if it wanted to turn the heavens and the earth within a radius of several miles into a realm of high temperature.

The "Giant Gate Star Monarch" dressed in feathers smiled kindly, as if he was blind to the angry look of the "Fire Virtue True Monarch".

The "Giant Gate Star" belongs to the "Dark Star", the main yin earth.

Around the phantom of the "Giant Gate Star Monarch", dark gray mist suddenly appeared, like soft ribbons, floating in the air.

Compared to the ferocity and ferocity of the "Fire Virtue True Monarch", his methods seem to be much milder.

But before you know it, the blazing temperature in the air is gradually dissipated and disintegrated invisibly.

Seeing this, the three black-clothed masked men also sensed the enemy's strong strength.

"I didn't expect 'Qing Ming' to intervene as well."

"With our strength, we may not be able to defeat them."

"Let's get out first!"

"Withdraw!"

“……”

The three men in black exchanged in low voices, and soon reached a consensus and decided to abandon the plan and retreat immediately.

In an instant, they each controlled their natal objects, turned into a ray of light, and disappeared into the distant sky with a "whoosh".

Gu Xu had to admit that these black-clothed people were really very cautious in doing things, and they would run away when something was wrong—except for the "Fire Virtue True Monarch" law phase, there were hardly any clues that could indicate their origins.

Moreover, the "Fire Virtue True Monarch" is also a relatively common aspect of the law, and almost all the monks who major in the fire attribute Dao method have awakened the law aspect after advancing to the sixth realm.

"Could these black-clothed people have something to do with Bai Chen and the mysterious organization behind the mysterious Gu Master?" Gu Xu quickly enumerated the potential enemies in his mind, and felt that the person who was most likely to want to kill him at the moment, except for the Kongxuansan people, was this unknown organization hidden in the shadows.

However, sending masked assassins to assassinate himself near Luojing City, and using such a method as the "Fire Virtue True Monarch" Law Phase, will definitely not be a means of empty Xuansan.

"Then what kind of organization is this 'Qing Ming'?" Gu Xu frowned and thought about it.

Although he read through the classics, the "Qing Ming" was a secret organization after all, and almost never left its name in the literature, and only the elite circle in Luojing City knew about its existence.

Gu Xu was born as a civilian, and his time in the capital was still very short, so naturally he had never heard of "Qing Ming".

Just when Gu Xu was puzzled, the woman in the cyan robe came to him, arched her hand at him, and said, "Lord Gu, under the 'Lingxing', on the orders of our leader 'Wenchang Xingjun', to protect your life." You can continue your trip with confidence. Until you return to Los Angeles, it will be impossible for these men in black to pose any threat to you. ”

As soon as the words fell, she, together with her clown companion, controlled her natal object, turned into two meteors and flew into the distance, and disappeared at the end of Gu Xu's sight in a blink of an eye.

There was no time left for Gu Xu to ask any questions at all.

Gu Xu looked in the direction where the two of them disappeared and shook his head slightly.

The water in Luojing City is too deep.

His current strength is still too weak. In the face of such a formidable enemy, he still had to rely on others for help.

"You have to get stronger!" He sighed in his heart.

…………

When Gu Xu arrived at Dagu Pass, the last rays of light in the sky had disappeared, and only a few stars shimmered with a silvery-white glimmer in the pitch-black dome.

Gu Xu walked in the deep valley, the cliffs on both sides stood majestically, like a knife, and when he raised his head, he could only see a line of sky.

With the help of the map given by Luo Sishou, Gu Xu quickly found the entrance to the underground grotto on a cliff. The vegetation here is lush, the strange rocks are craggy, and the atmosphere is a little gloomy.

Near the entrance of the cave, Gu Xu also saw a lot of broken bricks and stones, broken walls covered with moss, and building bases covered by weeds, which looked particularly desolate.

Many years ago, when the sect called the "Demon Sect" - the "Longevity Sect" had not yet been destroyed, there must have been several pavilions and pavilions here, hidden among the mountain cols and branches, with green pine eaves and jade railings around them. The disciples practiced penance in the caves, and the teachers gave lectures in the shade of the trees, and the faction was thriving.

But now, all that remains is ruins.

The delicate and intricate carvings on the stone walls have also been eroded by wind and rain, and they have long been unable to see their original appearance.

Gu Xu used his skills to flexibly pass through the weeds and shrubs in front of him, and stepped into the deep and dim cave.

According to common sense, this kind of cave, which does not see sunlight all day long, should give people a cold and damp feeling.

But Gu Xu felt that the temperature inside the cave was much higher than outside the cave.

From the depths of the cave, there was even a steady stream of hot air.

Gu Xu took out a piece of rune paper from the "Idle Cloud Residence" and chanted the spell softly, turning it into a lantern. The lanterns glow orange and illuminate the road ahead.

Gu Xu gradually went deeper into the cave.

The entrance to the cave is very narrow. But the further you go inside, the more spacious it becomes.

After about a few tens of meters, he saw several broken statues on either side of him, but most of them were only pedestals. The most intact of them all had no head and a broken arm, making it impossible to identify them.

"I once learned in books that one of the reasons why the Longevity Sect is regarded as a 'Demon Sect' is that their original heads and elders used to claim to be gods and use spells to disguise themselves as 'miracles' in front of mortals, so as to recruit believers and store incense - of course, this is the official statement of the Great Qi Imperial Court," Gu Xu silently recalled, "I don't know if these sculptures will have anything to do with this." ”

After walking a little further, Gu Xu also found that there were many complicated and obscure patterns carved on the walls on both sides, giving people a feeling of dizziness.

Gu Xu stopped and frowned slightly.

These patterns were irregular, and they were not in the system of sigils he knew.

If you don't look closely, you'll think they're just traces of erosion by flowing water, rather than carved by man.

But for some reason, when Gu Xu saw these messy patterns, some images inexplicably appeared in his mind-

In a world of darkness, crimson flames resemble dancers in the court, whirling and jumping in long dresses made of light gauze.

At first glance, it is very beautiful, but it contains the terrifying temperature of burning everything.

Several ragged figures sat cross-legged in the middle of the fire.

Their brows furrowed, apparently in intense pain.

But they remained as immovable as a bell.

They seem to have treated their bodies as metal, tempered in the flames.

……

Gu Xu blinked.

The images quickly faded away, as if they were hallucinations in his head.

But his instincts told him that the notches on these walls were certainly not simple. If you can crack them, you may be able to unearth some of the secrets of the Longevity Sect.

"Do you want to go straight to the lava river, or do you want to stay here and study the patterns first?" Gu Xu hesitated for a moment.

These wall carvings made him inadvertently think of "Seven Styles of Burning Sky".

"Seven Styles of Burning the Sky" is also composed of many dots and lines, with irregular and complex runes, which are also dazzling.

And it's all related to "fire".

"In this mysterious cave, maybe after going to the Dark River, you may not be able to return here." After thinking for a while, Gu Xu chose to stop where he was and continued to try to decipher these complex wall carvings.

…………

Since they can't be regarded as ordinary sigils, how should I understand them?

Gu Xu fell into deep thought.

He once understood the pattern of "fireflies" as the trajectory of fireflies, and then imagined them as thousands of flying swords carrying flames into the distance—that is, the map of the sword array.

Using the same line of thought, he tried to completely empty his mind and let his imagination fly, feeling the scorching heat coming from the depths of the cavern, and at the same time entering a state of epiphany that was incomparably familiar.

The dark red flames, and the ascetics meditating in the flames, reappeared in his field of vision.

But unlike before, this time the ascetic wore red-hot metal shackles on his ankles, and blood flowed from the wounds.

In the flames, three large characters of seal characters faintly appeared——

"Karmic Fire Sutra".
