The sky gradually cooled down, next to the stone case in the backyard of the Fist Sect, Zhong Qiu stared at the "Open Heaven Treasure Book" in front of him, completely unclear, and didn't even know why this ancient book was called "Open Heaven Treasure Book", to be precise, how could these words like ghost drawings be read, and they had already checked it, there was no trace of magic on it, that is to say, what was written on it was a real ghost drawing talisman, and it was a loss that he concealed that the owner of Xun Zhuang first took it over to study and study, and it seemed that there was no progress at all.

A gentle breeze blew, and with this breeze, a white figure appeared next to Zhongqiu, and shouted:

"Bold Zhongqiu, what is the purpose of daring to hide important objects privately and not hand them over?"

Zhongqiu drooped his eyes, completely ignoring the people around him, and said impatiently:

"Okay, who are you scaring about, aren't you about to send it to the old man. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Xun Ge, who was pretending to be serious next to him, and felt a little funny, so he couldn't help laughing.

"Haha...... , Xiaoge, it's really cute for you to pretend to be angry. ”

When Xun Ge heard this, he immediately put away the seriousness on his face and said:

"You're still the same, you have to enjoy everything yourself before you are willing to turn it in. ”

Hearing this, Zhongqiu immediately replied:

"Don't you take the trouble to come to me every time to ask for it, when did I really enjoy it?"

Xun Ge had no choice but to sit down, casually touched the bamboo slip on the case, and said:

"This is the "Treasure of the Open Heavens"?"

Zhongqiu Road:

"Well, it should be right to listen to the conversation between the Five Poisons and the Ghost Gu when I was in the Ghost Valley, but it's ...... on this."

Zhongqiu pointed to the ghost drawing charm on the bamboo slip, looking very puzzled.

Xun Ge understood what Zhongqiu meant, and said:

"Is there some unintelligible text written on this?"

Zhongqiu was secretly surprised, and said:

"Aren't you invisible?"

Xun Ge smiled slightly and said:

"I've seen this ancient book before. ”

Zhongqiu didn't know why, Xun Ge continued:

"Twenty years ago, I wasn't blind in my eyes. ”

Zhongqiu Road:

"You mean, when you weren't blind?"

Xun Ge nodded and said:

"Twenty years ago, before you arrived at Taoyuan, it was a confidential matter. ”

Xun Ge said this, took a sip of tea, looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, and the bandages wrapped around his eyes looked a little erratic, as if he wanted to talk about the past, Zhongqiu immediately pricked up his ears, thinking that he had entered Taoyuan late, and had no specific understanding of the catastrophe of the Cangling Collapse twenty years ago, although he was not very interested, but listening to stories has always been one of Zhongqiu's few pastimes.

Xun Ge spoke slowly, as if he was telling an era.

At that time, Xun Ge was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the old man Xun was less than forty, but Taoyuan was in its heyday at that time. At that time, Taoyuan had the strongest demon hunting organization that caused a sensation in the Three Realms - the "Cangling Thirteen Blades". The so-called "Cangling" is a team composed of the strongest combat power in the human world selected by Taoyuan Pure Land and its subordinate institution Yuling Temple, and there were a total of thirteen people in "Cangling" at that time, each of whom was equipped with a peerless sword, so it was called "Cangling Thirteen Blades". In fact, "Cangling" has existed before, and the Imperial Spirit Hall will be selected every ten years, but the team selected in the previous decades is only slightly famous, and this "Cangling" is recognized by history as the strongest one, that kind of strength can definitely stand up to confirmation, "Cangling" is known to the world The main task is to confront the demon world and prevent the demon world from attacking the human world, which is equivalent to a sharp sword jointly selected by the two worlds of man and god to fight against the harassment of the demon world. Although the previous "Cangling" also had a more or less resistance effect on the demon world, it was by no means as good as the "Cangling Thirteen Blades" selected thirty years ago, with the human world where they were in charge, and even for several years, there was not a single demon or a demon, even in the many years after their destruction, the demons were still apprehensive and did not dare to take large-scale actions, and their strength was strong, which can be seen.

Although "Cangling" was strong, Taoyuan was strong at that time, definitely not only because of "Cangling", in Taoyuan, known as the "Taoyuan Seven Sons" of the seven uncles who were in the year of fighting, were also famous all over the world, "Taoyuan Seven Sons" refers to the seven disciples who were extremely talented and prestigious in Taoyuan at that time, and they were also the seven most proud disciples of Ling Xiu, the founder of the Pure Land, and Old Man Xun was one of them. It's a pity that later in the eighth year after the fall of "Cangling" twenty years ago, the demon world attacked the human world on a large scale, and the first thing to bear the brunt of it was to give birth to the "Cangling" Taoyuan that the demons had been afraid of for many years.

And what Xun Ge said happened twenty years ago, when "Cangling" was ordered to go to a place called "Blood Crystal" to carry out a reconnaissance mission, and there was no news for a few months after that, everyone faintly felt that something was wrong, but because this task involved a lot of secrets, even in the Pure Land, except for a few high-level leaders of the Imperial Spirit Hall and Ling Xiu, the owner at that time, almost everyone knew nothing about that task and that place, so even if they had the intention to search, they were nowhere to be found.

Later, the Imperial Spirit Hall also seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he ordered Ling Xiu to lead several people from the Royal Spirit Hall to secretly go to the "Blood Crystal" to carry out the rescue, but when they came back, they only brought back eleven swords and a secret ancient book, at that time, people were talking about it, but the Royal Spirit Hall was very secretive about this matter, they almost destroyed all the information related to that mission, and did not make any explanation to the outside world, it seemed that "Cangling" The thirteen people and the giant and the young injury in the thirteen famous swords disappeared inexplicably, and the only clue to this incident, the ancient book, became the focus of people's attention.

At that time, Xun Ge was a teenager, and according to his own words, he belonged to the "Cangling Thirteen Blades" at that time , so he secretly began to investigate this matter, at that time, he used the identity of the old man to have the opportunity to see the ancient book at a glance, which was densely packed with some incomprehensible strange patterns or words, and then Xun Ge also carefully consulted the few surviving files and archives about that incident, and for dozens of days, he soaked in the attic of Taoyuan's collection of archives - Seven Star Pavilion almost every day.

Finally, the hard work paid off, in a dossier he found a fragment of the Cangling accompanying mission notes, through the above description, the ancient book should be called "Open Heaven Treasure Book", the text recorded on it is some ciphertext, it is very likely that a certain ancient god or sage book, but these investigations are no longer substantial progress, plus twelve years ago the demon world attacked Taoyuan, almost all the ancient materials have been burned in the war, and now it is even more difficult to check.

After listening to Xun Ge's narration, Zhongqiu said:

"What's that, a cipher or something?"

Xun Ge said:

"I consulted a lot of people on this matter, and I came to the conclusion that the ciphertext should be a special script that was incomprehensible to the people of the world. ”

Zhongqiu couldn't understand it even more, and said:

"If you can't understand it, what's the point of writing that ancient book?"

Xun Ge said:

"I think there are two possibilities, the first is that the writer has discovered something or a theory that cannot be recognized in his time, and he cannot write it in a common language and does not want what he has discovered to be buried, so he creates a kind of cipher that no one can understand and writes what he has discovered. ”

Zhongqiu touched his head, felt reasonable, and asked:

"What about the second possibility?"

Xun Ge said:

"The second is that there are things that are never seen in this ancient book, such as prophecies or some ancient secrets. ”

Zhongqiu listened inexplicably and said:

"What do you mean?"

Xun Ge said:

"Let me give you an analogy, if this book is a book of prophecy that predicts everything that will happen after that, then, as immutable history, should we, as immutable history, know what it says?"

Zhongqiu felt that Xun Ge's idea was a little funny, and said:

"How is it possible, how can there be such a thing as a prophetic book in the world?"

Seeing that Zhongqiu was not cold, Xun Ge sighed and said:

"It seems that it is really difficult to fool a simple-minded person with complex ideas. ”

Zhongqiu heard that he was scolding him, but he didn't mind much and continued to ask:

"Since you've read that ancient book, shouldn't it be in Taoyuan, why would it appear in that ghost valley?"

Xun Ge said:

"The old man saw the ghost Gu the day before yesterday, according to him, this "Open Heaven Treasure Book" seems to be divided into two volumes, one of which is in Taoyuan, and this volume seems to be the other volume. ”

As he spoke, Xun Ge picked up the ancient books on the case, put them in his sleeves, and said:

"The tea has been drunk, the words have been explained, and I will take this thing back to my life. ”

As soon as Zhongqiu reacted, Xun Ge had already left, and only half a cup of unfinished residual tea was still steaming intermittently on the case.

"Really, cunning. ”

Nakaoka was helpless.

Ghost Gu room.

The ghost Gu looked at Xiao Wu lying on the bed, there were no waves in his eyes, and his pale face was not expressive, and suddenly a wisp of black qi emerged from his body, converging into a black butterfly in the air, which was the ghost Gu's summoning spirit beast, the black butterfly.

The ghost Gu looked at the black butterflies flying beside him, and said helplessly:

"Why did you come out at this time, and someone was watching outside? ”

Black Butterfly Break:

"Compared to this, I still think it's more important to come out and remind you, besides, others can't understand what I'm saying. ”

The ghost Gu was noncommittal, indeed, the words of this black butterfly could only be understood by its owner, and after a moment of silence, he said:

"What's the matter?"

Black Butterfly Road:

"I've been observing your body for the past few days, and the poison in your body is getting heavier and heavier. ”

The ghost Gu sneered a few times and said:

"There's no way around it, if it weren't for Xiao Wu, I might have died. ”

The black butterfly looked at Xiao Wu on the bed, a little distressed, and said:

"The magic seal you made when you were in the Ghost Valley was trying to summon the Ghost King Boy. ”

The ghost Gu looked at the black butterfly and nodded.

Black Butterfly continued:

"You should know that you have just absorbed the ghost king boy not long ago, and you simply don't have enough ability to summon, plus you were highly poisoned at the time, if the spell was successfully launched at that time, you would probably be killed on the spot, if Xiao Wu hadn't discovered your intention and took over the spell in time, and changed the ghost king's spell to a white tiger, I'm afraid it's you who is lying here now." ”

The ghost Gu was silent, and there was no reaction, in fact, there was one thing, he had been hiding from Shui Han and the beginning of the day, in order to further control himself, the five poisons gave himself a chronic poison before he came to Taoyuan, and after being poisoned, he had to take a temporary antidote regularly, and regularly eliminate the poison in the body, so that the poison in the body could be controlled at a lower level and not be poisoned. At that time, Ghost Gu thought that with his knowledge of pharmacology, he would be able to develop a thorough antidote, once and for all, the night he met with Shui Hanri, he was studying the antidote, and in order to save them, the five poisons were noticed, but he didn't expect that because of that meeting, today's out-of-control, now he has betrayed the five poisons, the matter of the antidote is basically hopeless, and now he has no clue about this poison, it is impossible to develop the antidote in a short time, and he can only wait to die if he looks at the mountain.

The black butterfly looked at the ghost Gu, a little distressed, in fact, in its eyes, its master has always been a seemingly powerful and cold-blooded but actually careful and warm person, he has the most powerful Bunsen spirit beast in the world, but he deliberately hides it and never satisfies his ambitions, but maintains a good relationship with himself, a not a powerful companion spirit beast; he can kill his brother without blinking an eye and absorb his powerful spirit beast without thinking, but the blood marks in the corners of his eyes are mixed with tears; he can make the most correct judgment in any critical situation, but he always gives up all reason when something happens to the people he cares about, and would rather sacrifice himself to let those people live well。

Ghost Gu didn't know what Black Butterfly thought, he just felt sorry for Xiao Wu, for her who was already weak in spiritual power, using spirit summoning was basically a taboo, besides, her own spirit was still a spirit beast like a white tiger, it can be said that every summoning was a test of life, and Xiao Wu didn't know, but she was as smart as she was, and she had already seen through Ghost Gu's mind at that time, and it was estimated that even the poison-filled body that was hard under Ghost Gu's pale face was also clear in her heart, she should have the same idea at that time. What a stupid girl, don't you know my brother will be worried?

Ghost Gu touched Xiao Wu's forehead, his fingers brushed the tip of her nose, his breath was still gentle and stable, he breathed a deep sigh of relief, fortunately this time there was nothing serious, Xiao Wu's life seemed to be saved, to be honest, Ghost Gu couldn't understand why it would be fine to forcibly summon the body of the white tiger Xiao Wu, but he didn't want to think about these things anymore, he just wanted to see Xiao Wu wake up with his own eyes now, Ghost Gu turned his head and said lightly to the black butterfly:

"How long will I live?"

Black Butterfly said helplessly:

"At the current rate of poison spreading, you will die in three months at the earliest, and at the slowest in half a year. ”

The ghost Gu smiled indifferently, there is still a lot of time.
