Volume 1: The Sword Rises in the East Chapter 2: The Maiden at the Bottom of the Tower
Gu Fu Wai.
Gu Ming wore a robe, covered his face, and mounted his horse with a sword.
Looking back, looking at the house not far away, I have a lot of thoughts.
"Ling'er, take care ......"
"Young Master!"
Gu Ming was about to set off, but when he heard a call behind him, it turned out to be the lame housekeeper in the house, walking on crutches and staggering.
Gu Ming frowned: "Didn't you ask you not to send it?" In case I let Ling'er know......"
"The young master misunderstood, it was the young lady who asked the old slave to come."
Gu Ming was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he saw the housekeeper hand over a piece of jade pendant.
"The old slave doesn't know how Miss inquired, but the Evil God Ruins are extremely dangerous, Miss heard that you were going to go, and bought you a calming heart jade overnight."
"Besides, she asked the old slave to bring you a message...... She wishes you a safe return. ”
Gu Ming lowered his head, looked at Yu Pei, and did not make a sound.
The tip of the nose is slightly sour.
Centering jade has the effect of calming the mind, it is the best grade to fight against illusion, the price is expensive, with the current situation at home, I am afraid I can't get this money.
He suddenly remembered that last night, and accidentally caught a glimpse of Gu Ling holding the vase her father gave her, choking back tears, stroking and stroking.
It was the first birthday gift her father gave her, and she has always been regarded by Gu Ling as a blood in her heart, and she is not even allowed to touch Gu Ming on weekdays.
Gu Ling must have sold it in exchange for this piece of centering jade......
"Young master," the old butler lowered his head: "Miss didn't want the young master to take risks, I cried all night the night before yesterday, and wanted the old slave to persuade you...... In fact, the old slave didn't want the young master to go, the old man was gone, if the young master also encountered an accident, this family ......"
The old butler paused, didn't dare to say any more, just raised his hand to wipe away the old tears.
"The young master forgives the sins, the old slave knows that the young master has made up his mind, but when he gets older, he will always think of these unlucky ......"
"The old slave is old, this adventure can't help the young master, but please rest assured that the young master is at home, the old slave is fighting for this old life, and he will definitely protect the young lady!"
Gu Ming nodded, a little more resolute in his eyes.
"Please also ask the old uncle to bring a few words to Ling'er for me."
"Over the years, I can't stand her and wronged her."
"If I can come back safely this time, I won't let her suffer any more grievances!"
"Uncle, take care!"
With that, he galloped his horse.
Behind him, Gu Fu gradually moved away until he was submerged in the smoke and dust raised by the horse's hooves......
……
The sky was clear and cloudless.
There is only one high tower, hidden in the mist, like a mirage standing proudly on the plain, the top of the tower thunder, the sword aura is swirling, and the birds and beasts that are close to each other are all broken and killed.
This is the ruins of the evil gods, one of the three major god ruins in the sword city, and the mound of the sword cultivators of the past dynasties.
Because of its evil qi, sword qi, and yin qi are intertwined and condensed, and the danger is abnormal, it can only be entered when it is in the middle of the year and when the yang qi is the heaviest.
It is rumored that in the primeval era, the two worlds of humans and immortals were never separated, and countless great powers left traces in the human world, and then mortal spirits were isolated, and these traces were also called "divine ruins".
There are three thousand avenues in the world, and those who enter the Tao with a sword, waiting to be cultivated to step into the realm of imperial qi, can choose to enter the ruins of the evil gods, and get the recognition of the ancient sword buried in them, not only can they get out of the ruins under the guidance of the ancient sword, but also can make the cultivation twice the result with half the effort!
Naturally, if you can't cultivate and step into it, if you get the approval of the ancient sword, you can also open up the path of immortality!
Although the entrant dies for life, he can't resist the temptation of immortals, and there are still many people who are willing to take risks.
By the time Gu Ming arrived, there were already quite a few cultivators here.
Gu Ming didn't hesitate for a moment, followed a group of cultivators into the endless darkness, and suddenly felt the sword qi hit his face, and his skin cracked instantly!
Immediately, it was dark!
When I opened my eyes again, I was already in the tower, and as far as the eye could see, it was filled with purple mist, and the gate that came in mysteriously disappeared!
There were more than a dozen people when they came in, but for some reason there were only five or six left!
"Ahh Where is this, didn't I just come in? ”
"Could it be that the place where we came in wasn't the gate? So how do you get out? ”
"Daddy! Daddy, where have you been? I'm not playing anymore, I'm going home! ”
……
This first level alone has scared many people who are not strong-willed.
"It's ...... The Law of Space! ”
Gu Ming's eyes froze.
No wonder it is said that once the Evil God Ruins step in, there is no choice but to succeed, and if you are trapped in this chaotic space, there is no way out!
After calming down a little, Gu Ming slowly stepped into it.
In just a few moments, other entrants continued to encounter Gu Ming.
Most of them are dressed in brocade clothes, and there are many top-quality centering jades in their hands, and they can be seen as disciples of famous families at a glance.
Except for Gu Ming, a saber and an ordinary centering jade, there is nothing else.
"Phew! This must be a pariah who came out of the horns, wanting the crow to become a phoenix, but running away from the evil god ruins! ”
"A pariah, who also wants to compete with us for immortality? If everyone has such an opportunity, wouldn't our family be in vain? ”
Ridicule and contempt are all in the ears.
Gu Ming didn't seem to hear it, but kept moving forward, his eyes were tenacious, like sharp arrows, trying to penetrate this divine ruin!
Soon, the end of the outer layer has been reached.
Further on, there is the middle level.
Gu Ming stopped and took a breath, the coarse linen cloak had been cut by the sword qi, and the cheeks had also been eroded by the yin qi, and even the throat was inhaled by the sword qi, like a knife cut, as if blood was flowing out.
However, no ancient sword appeared in front of him.
Those who enter the ruins of the evil gods will not be able to see the appearance of the ancient sword until they are recognized by the ancient sword.
In this outer layer, there is not a single sword that recognizes Gu Ming!
The more the outer sword, the weaker the strength, and the easier it is to get its recognition.
However, Gu Ming was not afraid.
If it's not enough, go further!
Gu Ming took a deep breath, ripped off his cloak, and strode into the middle layer!
Behind him, cheers and crashes were constantly heard.
"It worked! I see the ancient sword! I'm a genius! ”
"Winning the way of the sword is just around the corner!"
"Impossible! I'm a descendant of the Liu family, how can I not see a sword? You're fooling me! ”
……
The turbid aura skyrocketed, and the boy did not look back.
However, the Evil God Ruins is divided into three layers, the inner and outer layers, the outer layer of evil qi is relatively thin, and it is enough to overcome fear, but the closer it is to the inner layer, the greater the increase in its evil qi, and the danger will naturally increase exponentially!
Since the Evil God Ruins opened, no one has ever come out alive after entering the inner layer, and even those who have walked out of the middle layer are very few.
At this moment, Gu Ming only felt that his breathing was becoming more and more difficult, and every time he took a breath, it was like thousands of blades cutting in his throat; The straw sandals on the soles of the feet have long been worn out, and every step left behind a bloody footprint.
For Gu Ming, this is the limit!
However, there was still a blank space all around him, only a faint purple mist.
"Why...... Why ......"
Gu Ming finally couldn't support it anymore and collapsed to the ground.
He was originally a genius of the Gu family, he practiced martial arts at the age of seven, and entered the imperial qi at the age of ten, and he was expected to become the first person in his generation to impact the Divine Realm.
But this talent is actually a joke that God played with him!
His father died unexpectedly, the family was in danger, he did everything to protect his sister, and came here desperately, but where is the hope?
Seeing that Gu Ming was about to overdraw, a green breath suddenly wafted in, temporarily calming his mind that was about to collapse.
"Don't go any further, you're going to die."
The voice was a slim girl who had come out of the darkness, holding a freshly crushed centering jade in her hand, and a sword glowing purple from her waist.
There is no doubt that it is the ancient sword in this ruin, and the girl is the one who has been approved by it.
"You are a mortal, it is not easy to get here, I appreciate your courage, I will send you to the outer layer to take a turn again, maybe there is still a chance."
Unexpectedly, before the words were finished, Gu Ming had already walked over the girl's side, leaving only a "thank you".
And ahead, it is the inner layer of the god ruins!
Those who step in will die and die!
The girl was stunned, and for a moment she didn't know whether to say that this young man was brave or stupid!
"Wait! Can you tell me your name? ”
Gu Ming paused, but did not answer.
The girl continued: "I am the fourth lady of the Tang family, Tang Yusu, the little girl is waiting outside first, if the son can come out alive, then he should make friends with the son." ”
"Tang Yusu."
Gu Ming tilted her head slightly, and her afterglow swept over the girl.
"I made a note of it."
After that, he embarked on the journey again.
……
Whew!
But at the bottom of the tower of the evil god ruins, the sword light flickered, the evil qi was constantly around, and the stone walls were covered with sword marks.
Hundreds of ancient swords are buried here, spreading in circles.
In the center of the circle, there stood a long white sword!
"Huh?"
Suddenly, a female voice came from the white sword, and a white-haired figure slowly floated out of the blade, rubbing her eyes.
"Someone approaching the inner layer? It's been a long time since anyone came down to accompany me, and who is not afraid of death? ”
The girl naughtily propped up her chin and waved her hand, and a picture of Gu Ming appeared in front of her.
I saw that although Gu Ming's body was broken and bleeding like an infusion, he still moved forward, he was overwhelmed by the evil qi again and again, and he struggled to get up again and again, constantly approaching the innermost layer and the bottom.
What's even worse is that this person is just a mortal body!
"A person without a cultivator has stepped into the Divine Ruins, and the middle layer is already the limit, so this person can actually come here?"
The girl couldn't help but be stunned, but after some careful scrutiny, she suddenly realized.
"I see, it's the old monsters who are getting in the way, and this son is connected to my fate! These old things, it's not enough for me, and I have to bury more people at the bottom of this tower, really because my demon clan has lost its temper? ”
Anger surged into her heart, and the girl was so angry that she puffed out her cheeks and picked up a leg bone and pinched it into powder!
"Boy, don't say that my aunt and grandmother don't give you benefits, if you are injured like this, you will definitely not be able to get out, and if you become my aunt and grandmother's container, you will not come in vain!"
"Wait for me to borrow your body, fight those old monsters again, and avenge you!"
The girl snorted softly, holding her breath.
Suddenly, a white mist rose around the white sword and quickly floated towards Gu Ming.
