Many years later, when the young Hong Tieniu walked out of Nanzhao Province and became a powerful monk in his own right, he would always think of the day when the raging fire burned all over the mountain.

He saw that the arrogant cultivators in the Medicine King Sect in the past had become weak and powerless mortals in an instant; He saw that the handymen with long whips had lost their backers and had become dispossessed; He saw that the former invincible Sect Master Peng was defeated under the offensive of the mysterious young man who called himself "Xiao Changshou".

He couldn't help but think, could it be that Senior Xiao was an immortal sent by the upper realm, who made a special trip to the world to save the people from the dire situation?

At this moment, Gu Xu had already relied on the "Fireflies" to break the Medicine King Sect's Sect Protector Array, and then manipulated the flames in the sky, forcing Master Peng to retreat one after another.

Although Peng Baohui, the head of the Medicine King Sect, has entered the fifth realm, his foundation is not stable, and his skill points are basically added to alchemy, and he does not have much experience in combat methods.

In addition, the exercises he cultivated were very ordinary, and he hardly had any comprehension of the true meaning of the Great Dao.

Compared with those young Tianjiao in the same realm in Luojing City, it is simply a heaven and an underground.

After the destruction of the Protector Array, he almost lost the ability to resist.

Gu Xu manipulated the flames and built a cage, easily trapping him inside.

However, at this moment, a gray-white mist rose again in Gu Xu's field of vision, and the surrounding scenery gradually became blurred.

"This 'Mixed Element Qi' came so quickly." He thought to himself.

The appearance of the Mixed Yuan Qi marks that he will soon leave this era under the control of the rules of "Returning to the Ruins", and it also means that he will solve the matter here as soon as possible.

He gently waved the "Shocking Pen", and the snow all over the mountains disappeared in an instant, turning into a glittering frost, lying quietly in the palm of his hand.

It looks crystal clear and dreamlike.

But in the eyes of the people around him, it has a devastating power, and people can't help but feel fearful in their hearts.

After all, it has completely gathered the power of "ten thousand empty silences".

Then, Gu Xu's pen pointed to the embarrassed Peng Zhangmen in front of him.

At a lightning speed, this grain of frost drilled into his flesh and blood towards the location of Master Peng's sect and merged into his meridians.

In an instant, as if the cold winter had suddenly arrived and the temperature had plummeted, the true yuan in the meridians of Master Peng had stopped circulating and condensed, like a frozen stream in winter.

The spell he was casting, halfway through the spell, came to an abrupt end.

Then, as Gu Xu's mind moved, these frozen true elements cracked, shattered, and died little by little.

Master Peng watched as his True Yuan aura fell like an avalanche, and soon fell off the threshold of the fifth realm, falling to the fourth, third, second, and first realms......

Due to the relatively high cultivation of Master Peng, it was difficult for Gu Xu to completely turn him into a mortal like he did with others—making him fall to the first realm was already his limit.

At this time, Gu Xu came to the side of the stunned young man Hong Tieniu.

"I'm getting out of here," he said in a calm tone, "and your freedom will depend on yourselves from now on."

Speaking of this, he paused and took out dozens of "Flame True Talismans" from the "Idle Cloud Residence".

"These sigils have been improved by me, you don't need to recite a spell, you just need to pour the true element into it, and you can use it, maybe it can help you."

Hong Tieniu took the gift and looked down in a daze.

I saw that the rune patterns on the paper were complex and mysterious, crisscrossing lines, like snakes wriggling, like dragons circling, containing the breath of strength.

It's like an invisible whirlpool, locking his attention firmly on the paper, unable to extricate himself.

He couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: If I can thoroughly understand the principle of this talisman, can I become as powerful as Senior Xiao?

At the same time, Gu Xu's figure gradually became translucent

Like a cloud in the air, formless and uncertain, fleeting.

"By the way, the name 'Xiaogong' is not very good," Gu Xu smiled, and continued, "If you like to have a Dao name, I suggest you change it."

"Change the lane number?"

Hearing this, Hong Tieniu was in a trance for a while.

He saw the scorching sun shining on the mountain and the raging flames, like a flood bursting its banks. Smoke rose like dark bats, rising up and down in the flames. The scorched trees fell to the ground like dry bones.

Faintly, he understood that everything in the past had really passed.

A new life is already beckoning to him.

"Then I...... Then I'll call it "Chiyoko." Hong Tieniu thought for a moment and spoke, his eyes shining against the flames.

"Chiyoko ......"

Gu Xu silently recited these three words, and his expression became a little complicated for a while.

At the moment when he was about to leave, he saw Hong Tieniu holding the talisman seal and rushing straight towards Elder Wu, the enemy who killed his father; He saw the farmers in the medicine field pick up their hoes and wave them at the overseers beside them. He saw that the head of Peng was surrounded by a group of angry villagers......

Then, a thick gray-white mist enveloped him again.

…………

This time and space travel, Gu Xu still did not return to the "Return to the Ruins", but came to a strange place again.

It was night.

Gu Xu was in a high mountain with undulating and winding winds.

The peaks are covered with snow, and the tops are covered with snow all year round, shimmering in the light of the stars.

At the foot of the mountain is an endless wilderness, with sparse vegetation and few people.

Before he could fully see his surroundings, a cultivator with a flying sword descended from the sky and came to him.

Dressed in a bright red robe decorated with delicate patterns and leather boots, this man looked solemn and noble.

I saw the red-robed man clasping his hands into fists, reaching the ground with a long gesture, and his attitude was extremely respectful, and he said to him, "Holy ...... Your Excellency, you are finally here."

Gu Xu frowned.

These words obviously mean that the other party has known that he will come here for a long time, and has been waiting for him here for a long time.

He couldn't help but wonder to himself: what kind of terrifying existence was this red-robed man—or rather, the man who sent the red-robed man here, who could actually know his existence across time and space?

"What year is it?" After a moment of silence, he asked.

The red-robed man humbly replied, "It's the third year of the first century."

Three years after the first three years?

Gu Xu thought about it again and again, but he couldn't remember which emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty or the previous Great Chu Dynasty had the era name "Yuan Shi".

Could it be that he has traveled to the future this time?

"What is the relationship between this Yuan Shi Emperor and Emperor Tianxing?" Gu Xu then asked, "Is it a certain descendant of Emperor Tianxing?"

Hearing Gu Xu's words, the red-robed man seemed to want to laugh, but he restrained himself and tried to keep himself serious and not laugh, so that his expression looked extremely distorted.

"No, my lord," he shook his head, "this is the Holy Ming Monarch who killed the Emperor of Heaven and returned peace to the world."
