"If you can't do it, just replace me, especially during the period before the Gu King was disposed of recently, let the people of the Qinglong Division secretly follow up Shun'er's security and surveillance work." Chu Xiuru said angrily.

"Obey the order, and the subordinates will give orders." Qiu Shi hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Qiu Shi, who had followed Chu Xiuru for many years, knew that the sect leader was angry.

The safety of the young sect master has not been properly resolved for a long time, and it is the dangerous and abnormal Gu King hanging above his head, and he is the martial arts of unknown origin and the master hiding in the shadows.

Everything that happened recently made Chu Xiuru, who liked to control everything in her hands, feel unprecedented loss of control and panic, the future leader of the Ancient God Sect, her only heir, was gradually getting out of her control and planning.

Even such a major matter as the young sect leader going outside to open two shops, it was Yin Darttou of the Shunfeng Dart Bureau who was the first to tell her, and no one from the rice bucket who followed Gu Shun reported it, so could this not make her angry.

As soon as Qiu Shi walked to the door, Chu Xiuru suddenly stopped her and said, "Shun'er has grown up after all, she should have a little privacy of her own, and it is easy to overdo everything if she is too tight."

Inform the Qinglong Division and send two people to stay by Shun'er's side, focusing on monitoring whether anyone has any secret contact with him.

At the same time, for the shop called Yuantong opened by Shun'er, he was in a wait-and-see state for the time being, and sent a few more disciples to mix in to see what Shun'er was doing. ”

"Akimi understands."

Chu Xiuru thought about it and gave up the idea of closely monitoring Gu Shun, after all, this child's hole cards have not been fully figured out, if he knows that he is being closely monitored, he may have some kind of rebellious psychology, and in the end he can only alienate the mother-son relationship.

Instead of being suspicious here, it is better to say the words directly and make it clear, otherwise the suspicion and estrangement between mother and son will deepen day by day, which is definitely not what Chu Xiuru wants to see.

"Is Shun'er in the room?" Chu Xiuru asked Qiu Shi again.

"After the young sect leader came back from outside, he went to Zhang Yi'an's residence, where he had dinner, and now he should have gone back to his room to rest."

"You asked Shun'er to come and say that I had something very important to ask him."

Qiu Shi didn't dare to delay, and immediately went down to do something.

……

In the room, Gu Shun was concentrating on his knees, and there was a trace of ancient and mysterious aura evaporating from his body, this kind of power was as majestic as the sea, as if it had come from ancient times, and it was like a great force outside the sky.

Xiao Bai beside him was so frightened by this force that he pressed to the ground and didn't dare to move.

After a long time, Gu Shun opened his eyes suddenly, and the clothes on his body were completely soaked with sweat.

Gu Shun had just run the first layer of the Ancient God True Scripture again, and saw the ancient city under the sea that was heavily obscured by mist. Seeing the desolate and bizarre underwater ancient city again, he was also taken aback.

Originally, he thought that this ancient city was just a dream, but everything that unfolded in his eyes was so real, as if he had really come to the ancient city.

However, compared with the last time, this time he no longer looked down on the ancient city from the sky, but came to the outside of the ancient city.

Stepping on a green slate covered in moss and humus, the city in the distance slumbers in endless darkness and dead silence.

Gu Shun was like a wanderer holding a torch in the darkness of his fingers, and his only source of light was the strangely shaped lamp with a dancing green flame.

And the shape of the lamp made Gu Shun feel strange and familiar the more he looked at it, as if he had seen it somewhere, but the memory seemed to have been erased, and he couldn't remember it.

The lamp vaguely has the outline of a human being, but it has a head like an octopus with many tentacles, as if an octopus is attached to a human body, which is terrifying and weird.

The body is covered in a gelatinous substance similar to scales, with huge claws, and a pair of narrow and slender wings behind it, which are obviously not proportional to its bloated and fat body.

Its raised claws clenched into an arc, and green flames burned in its claws.

What made Gu Shun feel strange was that the green flame, without fuel, could burn out of thin air and endure.

Holding the lamp in his hand, Gu Shun walked forward slowly, and the whole world was silent, as if only his footsteps were left between the vast heaven and earth.

In the faint light, suddenly the soles of his feet stepped on something.

He looked down with the lamp in his hand, and found that the soles of his feet were stepping on a few broken bones, and the bones had completely turned gray, very soft, and turned into powder like powder when he stepped on it.

This bone should be a human bone, two steps ahead, there is a skull on the ground, the skeleton is facing down, plus the bones scattered next to it, it is easy to tell that it is a person kneeling on the ground, hands forward, as if worshipping the ancient city in front of him.

The color of the skeleton's clothes had completely faded, and at the slightest touch it turned into flying ashes, leaving nothing behind.

These bones are also corroded and porous, and they have been here for thousands of years.

Gu Shun didn't find anything valuable from the bones, so he continued to walk forward.

After walking a few steps, the next scene made Gu Shun feel an unprecedented shock, only to see that in the glimmer of light in his hand, countless corpses were laid on the ground layer by layer, and the movements of the corpses were varied, some kneeling and praying, some struggling to survive, and stretching out their hands as if they wanted to rush into the city.

What the hell is this place, and why are there so many bones? ’

With these doubts, Gu Shun stepped on the crackling bones and walked towards the sleeping giant city at the bottom of the sea.

Every step he took was extremely difficult, and more and more bones were accumulating under his feet, and if he was not careful, he could be cut into the pile of bones and buried alive.

I don't know how long it has been, so long that time seems to have stopped, Gu Shun has been trekking on the pile of bone mountain, the gate is getting closer and closer, and there are more and more bones.

In addition to the mental exhaustion, I don't feel like I'm exhausted at all.

Finally, he came to the gate of this ancient city, and the closer the bones were to the gate, the higher they piled up, as if these people were trying their best to squeeze into the city in their lives.

Gu Shun held the lamp in his hand high, the green flame seemed to have a connection with the city gate, and the city gate, which was originally integrated with the darkness, slowly lit up, one meter, two meters, the light was still spreading, and the city gate seemed to extend towards the darkness as if there was no end.

Looking at the mountain-like gate, which is covered with mottled marks, I don't know who this gate is for, it is so majestic and magnificent, and it is about a few hundred meters high.

Just as Gu Shun wanted to touch the city gate, the flame in his hand jumped violently twice and was extinguished at once.

The darkness instantly surrounded Gu Shun, and the mountain of corpses and bones under Gu Shun's feet trembled violently, he only felt that his feet were empty, and a huge suction force came uncontrollably from the soles of his feet, and before he could react, he was swallowed up by countless broken bones.

Countless bones smashed down and buried Gu Shun in the bone mountain.

This is not the most terrifying, the broken bones themselves are not tight, and the slightest touch is like quicksand, making people sink deeper and deeper.

Gu Shun continued to fall.

His body was now squeezed by countless bones, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to breathe, otherwise his mouth would be filled with broken bones in an instant.

The strong feeling of suffocation and the violent burning in his chest made Gu Shun feel like he was on the line of life and death, painful and desperate, only one step away from death.

But he still clung to the strangely shaped lamp in his hand, he knew that the lamp was the only thing that could save him in this strange world.

Sure enough, just when Gu Shun felt that the last breath in his body was about to be spit out, his falling body suddenly stopped.

The fire in the lamp burned violently, but this time the fire was not dark green, but bright and warm orange, and under the light of the fire, the mountain of bones beside him gradually turned into countless bubbles.

In a trance, Gu Shun suddenly felt as if he was soaking in the deep sea, and he slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air that was gradually on the verge of the limit, and the turbid air immediately turned into countless bubbles and floated towards the endless dark sea level.
