Chapter Fifty-Nine: Gu Xian
Dark Rain Stream, an old man quietly cleaning a courtyard, was originally an unreachable existence, but in Yuan Qi's eyes, he was so shocked, not why, just because the voice was too real, the blood bat in his hand trembled greatly, and the object was such an old man.
When the surrounding scenery was blurred and darkness fell, Yuan Qi grabbed his hand, that familiar touch made him feel that the previous feeling was not wrong, but the ensuing feeling made him afraid, what kind of hands were they, skinny and very cold, if he hadn't seen this person at the last moment, Yuan Qi would mistakenly think that he had grabbed a skeleton!
It was still pitch black with no fingers, feeling the coldness on the other party's body, Yuan Qi's hand was also trembling, raised his head, and subconsciously looked at this person, there was no figure, because the darkness completely enveloped him, only those eyes, like lanterns, emitted a ghostly light, like a ghost who had just crawled out of the grave, and looked at Yuan Qi.
Yuan Qi wanted to let go, he didn't want to hold this cold hand for a moment, but reason told him no, because this person was probably the only one who knew how to get out of here.
"Your Excellency?" Yuan Qi asked vigilantly as he pulled Wan Ting behind him.
"Huh~~" The hoarse voice came, the old man didn't seem to have spoken for a long time, and after a while, he slowed down, Bai Sensen's teeth were exposed, and he seemed to be smiling.
"Senior!" Yuan Qi really couldn't stand this feeling.
"You're smart!" came the old voice, soft, without any murderous aura.
"Ahh
"Don't be afraid, I'm not your enemy!" said the old man, but those eyes were really terrifying.
"Who are you, senior?" Yuan Qi forced himself to keep himself calm.
"Like you, witnesses here!" the old man began.
"Witness?" Yuan Qi was puzzled.
"That's right, witness a pair of poor people!" said the old man, "as for me, you can call me Gu Xian!"
"Gu Xian!" Yuan Qi gasped, this old man had such a big breath, he dared to become an immortal.
"Hey, hey!" the old man didn't explain, and he laughed a little grimly, and said, "You can let me go!"
Yuan Qi hurriedly let go, the darkness in front of him was short-lived, a faint light was rapidly extending until it covered the entire space, and the figure of the old man gradually appeared with the extension of the light, first full of wrinkled hands, gray clothes, and the glow in the eyes of his face quickly faded until he disappeared.
"Ah!!you are!" Yuan Qi and Wan Ting were stunned, this old man was immortal, revealing a dusty temperament, and the pair of goat's beards on his chin were so familiar, it was the fortune-telling old man in Chiba City who calculated that he had a "trapped dragon robbery".
"Do you know me?" Gu Xian seemed to notice something.
"Senior, aren't you telling fortunes in Chiba City?" Wan Ting asked.
"Chiba City?" Gu Xian stretched out his right hand, and several hexagram seals were about to come out, as if he was deducing, and gradually he showed a clear expression, nodded and said, "I see!
Yuan Qi looked at the old man's movements and shook his head, although the one in front of him looked exactly the same as the fortune teller in Chiba City, but as soon as he made a move, there was an essential difference, the hexagram seal was matched with a mysterious power, and in a trance, people could see a phantom flying out of their fingertips, which was the method of deduction that only had to cultivate to the highest realm. Of course, the biggest difference between the two people is those eyes, if the old man in Chiba City has loneliness in his eyes, some are confused, and even a little ignorant, then the old man named Gu Xian in front of him reveals a kind of indifference, vastness, as if experiencing the ups and downs of thousands of eternities, penetrating all the vicissitudes of the world, that kind of wisdom, can not be imitated.
"Senior?" Yuan Qi said softly, interrupting the old man's silence.
"Eh!" Gu Xian reacted and sighed, "This may be cause and effect!"
"Senior, what kind of place is this!" Yuan Qi looked around and found that he had returned to the secret room of the Shy Mansion, the difference was that it was no longer dark, a few oil lamps illuminated this place brightly, and in front, the Qingying Fairy sat cross-legged, and from time to time there were phantoms in his body.
"The end of the green underworld!" Gu Xian said faintly.
"Isn't the Blue Immortal Fairy dead? Could it be that we are still in the illusion realm!" Wan Ting wondered, she still couldn't touch anything here.
Gu Xian didn't respond, he stared at Wan Ting with a pair of eyes, looking at this face that was exactly the same as Qing Ming, he showed a smile: "Girl, do you want to feel the Qing Ming Fairy?"
"Senior, what do you mean!" Wan Ting said instinctively and vigilantly.
"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions, don't you think you're special?" Gu Xian's body technique was very fast, he came behind Wan Ting in an instant, and with a push of both hands, he pushed Wan Ting straight to the Qingying Fairy, and gradually, these two identical people actually fused together.
"What are you doing!" Yuan Qi was furious, and the dustless sword was erected and stabbed up.
The old man stretched out two withered yellow fingers, firmly clamped this clever sword light, and said in surprise: "This sword is actually where you are?"
"What did you do to her?" Yuan Qi forced, but he couldn't break free of those two fingers.
"Young people are just impatient, just praise you for being smart, you are stupid!" Gu Xian said lightly, "Don't you be curious, why is this girl so similar to Qing Mingchang?"
Yuan Qi was stunned, this is also a question she has always puzzled.
"Don't worry, she's not in any danger, I'm doing this entirely to help her!" Gu Xian said slowly.
"Help her?" Yuan Qi was even more puzzled.
"That's right, it's to help her!" Gu Xian repeated, and asked again, "Do you believe that there is reincarnation in this world?"
Yuan nodded at first, then shook his head, and said complicatedly: "I believe that there may be reincarnation in this world, but I will never believe in people who have reincarnation!"
"Very good!" Gu Xian said appreciatively.
Yuan Qi asked rhetorically, "Will you tell me that the two of them are actually the same person?"
"That's not it!" Gu Xian shook his head, "The induction between the bloodlines can't be wrong, this girl has a deep relationship with Qing Ming, Qing Ming has a daughter you know, named Yun Shao, and Wan Ting is Yun Shao's daughter! Speaking of which, she should call Qing Ming her grandmother!"
"Wan Ting is Yun Shao's daughter!" Yuan Qi was speechless.
"It shouldn't be bad!" Gu Xian's hand flashed with a spiritual light, and a palm print flew up, pulling Wan Ting out of Qing Ming's body.
"Ting!" Yuan Qi hugged Wan Ting.
Wan Ting's face was flickering with tears, and she cried unconsciously.
"Girl, what did you sense?" asked Gu Xian.
"At first, it was sadness, despair, helplessness, and a little anger and unwillingness!" Wan Ting stared at Qing Ming and said, "In the end, these are gone, and she has become quiet and peaceful, joyless and worry-free!"
"The so-called shackles in the world are often imposed by herself, although she faces her heart, she still can't escape the shackles of the portal in her heart, otherwise she would have left with Yun Tianming at the beginning!" Gu Xian said expressionlessly, "Her choice finally made Yun Tianming completely go to darkness and start this biggest war in a hundred years!"
"What you said makes sense, but who has thought about her, for Qing Ming, Penglai is the place where she grew up, with her own home, her own senior sisters and sisters, and if she leaves suddenly, it is inevitable that she will hesitate!" Yuan Qi retorted, "I sympathize with their plight, but I shouldn't let her bear all the sins alone!"
"If you are Yun Tianming, how should you choose?" Gu Xian stared at Yuan Qi and retorted.
Yuan Qi shook his head, his eyes were calm: "I don't dare to judge too much about the things of my predecessors, but if it were me, I don't think I would leave her alone at this moment when I was about to enter a strange road!"
"Hehe, do you know that some things are involuntary!" Gu Xian smiled.
"So, senior, please tell me, what kind of place is this and how to get out?" Yuan Qi asked.
"Don't worry!
Qing Ming's body emitted a white light, which was rapidly expanding, gradually enveloping the whole body, the white light was like a mirror, reflecting everything about her and Yun Tianming, her figure gradually disappeared, submerged into the distant enchantment, and became one of the countless points of light.
"What is that?" Yuan Qi stared at the countless points of light.
"That's the ruin cave, and it's also the strongest Dao in Penglai's lineage!" Gu Xian explained.
"The strongest Dao?" Yuan Qi was shocked.
"That's right, it's the strongest!" Gu Xian replied affirmatively, "Look at those points of light, what do they look like?"
"Like a lamp?" Wan Ting frowned.
"That's right, it's not right!" Gu Xian said silently, "Cultivation lies in cultivating the mind, only by experiencing more, can you go further, taste the ups and downs, see the ups and downs of everything, these lights of ten thousand homes correspond to countless lives, those points of light correspond to a dead knot, and the encounter of Qingming is just one of them!"
"Then what is the meaning of existence here?" asked Yuan Qi.
"This is a place of training, and every Penglai head has to come here to retreat, step into these ruins, and understand life until he understands the three thousand ancient knots, and then he can leave!" Gu Xian explained.
"Three thousand ancient knots, then aren't we going to stay here for a long time?" Wan Ting exclaimed.
"That's not necessary, that kid who was born back then only stayed here for a year, and he was already full of gray hair after comprehending one hundred and twenty-eight ancient knots, and he couldn't bear it!" Gu Xian smiled, "It must have been the monkey who let you in!"
"You call the old man a kid!" Wan Ting said in surprise, "Who are you, senior?"
"I, hehe, you don't know!" the old man laughed, "I don't remember how long I've been here, maybe a few hundred years, maybe a thousand years, maybe I should go out for a walk!"
As soon as the words fell, a cold wind blew, on the high platform, the ancient lamp was extinguished, Yuan Qi and Wan Ting felt unmoved, and the surrounding scenery seemed to be withdrawn, and after a long time, a point of light appeared in front of them, quickly disappearing into the distance.
The familiar luminous beads appeared, and a life-testing stone on the stone platform was placed silently, and it had long since disappeared!
"Ten years of life and death, how many lives and deaths are there in a hundred years and a thousand years, I didn't expect that I would return here again in the end, it's worth pondering!" In the darkness, Gu Xian's eyes still had a ghostly light, and he seemed to be like this, like a fierce man descending, startling countless blood bats.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I was so excited that I forgot to hide it!" Gu Xian's body changed rapidly, the glow in his eyes faded, revealing bright eyes, and in a blink of an eye, he turned into a kind and kind old man again.
Yuan frowned, feeling the changes in the old man's body, and he became more and more curious about this person.
Wan Ting walked up to the stone platform, stretched out her hand, and took away the birth stone of the Qingying Fairy again.
"Let's leave the Boo Mansion first!" Gu Xian glanced at Wan Ting and took the lead in walking forward.
Yuan Qi grabbed Wan Ting and followed.
The three of them passed through the corridor and returned to the underground palace, and when they looked back, the gate of the Boo Mansion was still ajar there, unmoving.
Gu Xian took a deep look at the third portal with countless seals piled up, turned around, came to the edge of the cold pool, and looked at the six-eared macaque that was frozen in ice.
"Don't pretend, wake up!" Gu Xian smiled.
In the ice stone, the monkey's eyes opened, which really startled Yuan Qi, it turned out that it had already woken up.
"Squeak!" the monkey stared at Gu Xian, as if he was afraid of this old man, and kept saying something.
"Hehe!" Gu Xian asked with a smile, "What about him, isn't he there?"
The monkey looked at Yuan Qi.
"Huh?" Gu Xian turned his head, also looked at Yuan Qi, and asked, "On you!"
"What?" Yuan Qi wondered, "What do I have?"
Gu Xian stretched out his fingers, grabbed it in the void at will, and a withered yellow monkey hair was held in his hand, and a thick spiritual power poured into it.
It was amazing, the monkey hair glowed, and a figure in white appeared, floating in the void.
I just watched from a distance before, but now it's the first time I've seen this man in white, with a fairy-like temperament, a posture that is not stained with red dust, and a face that even women are jealous of, which makes it impossible to ignore.
"Long time no see!" Gu Xian said flatly, "Have you decided?"
"Please also ask the seniors to be fulfilled!" the man's voice was like a heavenly sound.
"You must know that this lost method, once it is unlocked, it will forget everything, start from the beginning, you don't regret it!" Gu Xian solemnly reminded, "Now my skills are slowly degrading, and I will gradually become a mortal, and it is almost impossible for me to make another move!"
"Although the predecessors have made a move, after so many years, I also feel bored, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible!" The man said, "Even if I start all over again, I don't regret it! Now that Penglai has fallen, it doesn't matter whether I have the door of this mansion or not!"
"Okay, then I'll fulfill you, and there will be a time later!" Gu Xian said.
"There will be a period later!" the man was a little sad, he glanced at the monkey in the ice stone, then stared at Yuan Qi, and said, "Can you do me a favor?"
"Senior, please speak!" Yuan Qi said hurriedly.
"Take good care of it!" the man's body began to fade and become invisible.
Gu Xian didn't say anything, he formed a magic seal, and on the ice stone, a dense seal appeared, which was rapidly dissipating.
"Touch!" the ice stone exploded, and a golden monkey fell from the sky, landed on the edge of the cold pool, jumped onto Yuan Qi's shoulder, and rubbed him affectionately.
Yuan Qi looked at the monkey in amazement, reached out to stroke it, and felt its agility.
"What a cute monkey!" Wan Ting also came over, and her hands couldn't help but stroke.
"Squeak!" the monkey suddenly jumped out of the way, grabbed the golden birth stone, and giggled heartlessly.
"This life test stone?" asked Yuan Qi.
"It's a leaf, I still gave him this name!" Gu Xian was a little tired.
"Yezi! that's a good name!" Yuan Qi smiled.
"Don't treat it as a pet!" Gu Xian reminded, "Now it is just ignorant, once it grows up, it will gradually break away from the habits of monkeys, change into an adult, and at that time, it may become a headache for the guy!"
Gu Xian came to the stone platform, and the half-open stone book suddenly shone brightly, and the leaves that could not be turned over actually began to flip independently.
"Old baby, miss me!" Gu Xian smiled, his skeletal palm stroked the stone book, and gradually his whole person was integrated into the book, the stone book took off, quickly transformed, countless words flew out, gathered into Gu Xian's figure, he was obviously a lot more energetic, and swept away the malaise!
"Earth Evil?" Yuan Qi thought silently, and in the process of flipping through the stone book just now, Yuan Qi vaguely saw these two words.
"Curiosity kills people!" Gu Xian said lightly.
"Huh!" Yuan Qi pouted.
"Well, since you can break through reincarnation and bring this monkey with you, it doesn't hurt to tell you, anyway, this is what you will have to face in the future!" Gu Xian thought for a while and said, "Do you know what the ancient poem on this wall means?"
"Well, it is said to describe two people who will never meet, but they are opposites, he lives and he dies!
"You can understand it that way, but don't just be limited to people, anything is possible!, for example, this monkey is one of them!" Gu Xian said in surprise, "and the other one is a man called a ghost!" Penglai is very concerned about the legend of the world, and wants to forcibly coexist the two in the world, but I don't know that this is playing with fire, in order to stop them, I used the method of loss to freeze the leaves a hundred years ago, but I don't know what method this ghost eye used, and actually lived for so long, and now the leaves have chosen to be born, which proves that these two people will collide sooner or later!"
"Ghost eyes!" Wan Ting muttered, "Isn't that the person who chased and killed us when we came?"
"Senior, what will happen if they collide?" asked Yuan Qi.
"Light heaven and earth change suddenly, heavy everything will be annihilated!" Gu Xian said lightly, "If I can stop it, I will definitely go all out, but this lost method, even if I run it with all my might, I can only delay it for a hundred years, and now the deadline has passed! That ghost came to Penglai ten years ago to take away the leaves, fortunately I woke up from the shy mansion at that time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!"
"Isn't he afraid of no return?" asked Yuan Qi.
"Boy, do you know how the most powerful power in this world is formed, apart from cultivation?" asked Gu Xian with squinted eyes.
"Senior, please speak?" asked Yuan Qi humbly.
"The power of two poles, according to the most common saying in the world, is the fusion of water and fire, and the collision of two diametrically opposed forces will produce huge destructive power, so if you think about it backwards, when one day water and fire are compatible together in some way, that kind of power is unimaginable, these two people are good and evil, if one good and one evil devour each other, what are the consequences!" Gu Xian explained lightly, "Speaking closer, the sword in your hand is formed by the same method!"
"Dustless Sword?" Yuan Qi wondered.
"You call it Dustless?" Gu Xian said in surprise, "Don't you think he is very similar to the Minghuang Sword next to Tianchi?"
"It's a little strange, is it the same sword?" Yuan Qi said.
"That's right, after the big battle ten years ago, I divided a primordial god to come to the battlefield in person, and the Minghuang Sword was affected by the demonic qi in Yun Tianming's body, and it was divided into two levels, and this sword was separated from the sword body!" Gu Xian recalled, "The blood demon absorbs the Minghuang Sword to grow, but I am afraid of the dustless sword in your hand, such a diametrically opposite aura, can't you feel it!"
Yuan Qi looked at the sword in his hand and suddenly realized: "No wonder it has such a deep sense of Emperor Tianming, it turns out that this is his sword!"
"The combination of the two is the world's first divine soldier Minghuang Sword, and now that they are separated, the first divine soldier is gone!" Gu Xian said.
"Then why did you move Emperor Tianming's corpse here?" Yuan Qi thought of something and asked.
Gu Xian's face changed, and he subconsciously glanced at the third stone door that was covered with seals.
"Could it be related to that door?" Yuan Qi suddenly felt cold around him, "Senior, what is sealed in there?"
Gu Xian was silent, and slowly came to the third stone door, a pair of calloused hands, gently rubbing the stone door, in a trance, from the door came out the roar of the beast, Gu Xian's face had never been more solemn, I didn't see him make any movements, on his fingers, a drop of red blood spread along the stone door, and the seal that Yuan Qi seemed to be unsolvable was rapidly fading.
"Boom!" There was a loud bang, the stone door opened, and the entire underground palace trembled, and countless stones fell from above.
"Boy, do you want to hear the story?" said Gu Xian in front of the stone gate.
