Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 341 Authority: Universe

Then Gu Xu looked further north, and saw armies in armor gathering at the border of Youzhou, their swords flickering coldly, and the sound of drums resounding through the sky.

He saw that many people in the northern region enshrined the shrines of the "God of Fire" in their houses. The faces of the statues of the gods were blurred, and the beautiful "Huang Nu" stood beside him with spread wings.Holding candles in their hands, the women knelt in front of the shrine, praying devoutly for their husbands who went to war.

He saw Zhao Changying's younger brother, the Duke of Yan's Zhao Changying, General Fuguo Zhao Changqi, standing in front of a huge map, thinking, the shadow blocked his face, making it impossible to see through his thoughts.His son, Zhao Yu, was wearing shiny silver armor, standing beside him with his head held high and his chest held high, his eyes revealing a rebelliousness very similar to Zhao Yan's.

Gu Xu looked towards the east again, and saw that the mountain gate of Penglai Island was more depressed than expected. Some disciples were still practicing hard, while others had completely given up on themselves.

He saw many monsters lurking in the bottomless East Sea, quietly watching the passing ships.

He saw that the East China Sea had an end—the seawater gathered in one place, scrambling to fall from the cliff, falling into the bottomless abyss, forming a majestic waterfall with a height of ten thousand feet.

This is the border of the East China Sea and the edge of the world. The hazy "Hunyuan Qi" floats around the waterfall, blocking his sight and making him unable to see further.

As described in the book, the time and space in "Qi of Hunyuan" are chaotic, and if you are lucky enough, you can use it to travel to the past or the future.Perhaps because of this, when Gu Xu's eyes fell on the "Hunyuan Qi", he felt a little dizzy, as if countless messy pictures rushed into his mind in an instant, impacting his mind.

Then, Gu Xu looked to the west and saw the Jiange of Shudi standing on the mountain. Young disciples practiced swordsmanship in two groups in the peach blossom forest all over the mountains and plains.

He saw Lingshan Temple located in the deep valley, all the monks closed their eyes in meditation in the house, motionless like sculptures, only the abbot of the temple, Master Jueming, stood in front of a mural, chanting words.The content of the murals is the legendary hell, the sky is an airtight cage, and countless souls of the dead are shackled and endured the scorching fire in the cage.

He saw the distant junction of heaven and earth, and the Kunlun Mountains were stacked with mountains-there are legends that there is a road leading to the fairyland on the top of the mountain that towers into the sky.

The top of the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, and he had no way of knowing whether the road to the fairy world really existed.But he saw that in an open space more than a hundred miles away from Kunlun Mountain, more than a dozen monks commanded a large number of peasants to bring in huge stones carved with complicated patterns and arrange them in a certain order. put it here.

Driven by curiosity, Gu Xu tried to stretch out his spiritual tentacles, wanting to explore clearly the hidden laws.But at this moment, there seemed to be a real gaze on him, which made him feel a terrifying pressure.There was a strong tingling sensation in his eyes, which made him shed tears uncontrollably.

In the end, Gu Xu's gaze returned to where Luo Jingcheng was.

He saw Mangshan Ghost King and Yan Guogong Zhao Changying walk into the gate of the imperial city along Tianjie; There was a gap in the city wall of Luojing, and ghosts such as "Qongqi", "Ba Snake", and "Jiaojiao" poured into it one after another, and began to prey unscrupulously; he saw the crowd screaming, pushing and shoving, like a rapids ,It's a mess……

In this chaotic city, Gu Xu keenly caught Shi Xiaohan's figure.

She was following a one-armed elder, walking quickly along a narrow alley towards the outskirts of the city.

Perhaps it was because she had seen terrible things in the secret realm, or maybe it was because the changes in Luojing City had shattered her sense of security. She was a little pale at the moment, biting her lips lightly, with a panicked expression.

Gu Xu knew that this one-armed elder was Hu Yun, the academy instructor in Longmen Academy who was in charge of teaching Shi Xiaohan's sword skills, known as the "Invincible Sword God".

Although Shi Xiaohan often complained to him in letters, Professor Hu is a lunatic with a strange temper. Not only does he often give her devil training, but he also likes to be eccentric and critical, and never praises her.

But Gu Xu can see from her actual actions that she still trusts her teacher very much—she seems to believe that Professor Hu can protect herself well in this disaster, so she has been following Hu with her head down. After the lesson, he didn't look up at the road at all, let alone think about where he would take himself.

just.

When Gu Xu stood on the "Wangxiang Terrace" and looked at the world from a near-God's perspective, he always felt that there was something wrong with this "Invincible Sword God".

This person had normal breathing and a normal heartbeat, but inexplicably gave off a lifeless and lifeless feeling.

Soon, Hu Yun took Shi Xiaohan, turned a few turns, and walked into a remote and dilapidated alley—this place is far away from the city center and the crowd. exist in another world.

When he reached the end of the alley, Hu Yun stopped suddenly.

He took out his saber out of thin air, and tapped the ground twice.

Immediately, countless chaotic and hazy rays of light appeared on the uneven bluestone road, and then these rays of light connected together to outline complex patterns.

This is undoubtedly a pre-arranged formation.

But it doesn't exist in the books that Gu Xu has read.Therefore, Gu Xu didn't know its name, nor its function.

However, when his eyes fell on the formation, he felt that those formations seemed to turn into a turbulent vortex, as if to involve his soul in it.

Intuition told Gu Xu that this formation is very dangerous.

"Go in," he heard Hu Jiaoxi pointing to this large formation, and said to Shi Xiaohan, "This formation can send you out of Luojing City and send you to a safe place."

Shi Xiaohan still stood where he was, hesitating.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she raised her head and said to Hu Jiaoxi in a pleading tone: "Mr. Hu, can you do me a favor?"

"What do you want me to do?" Hu Yun's voice sounded impatient.

"I...my fiancé Gu Xu should still be on the Luohe side," Shi Xiaohan carefully considered his words, "Mr. Hu, you...you have advanced cultivation, can you rescue him as well?"

Shi Xiaohan grew up under the pampering of her family and lived a pampered life. She rarely had the experience of asking for help, so her words sounded clumsy.

What a silly girl.Gu Xu couldn't help feeling silently.Obviously the danger was right in front of her eyes, but she didn't realize it at all, instead she was still thinking about her fiancé.

"He doesn't need me to save him," Hu Yun said in a cold tone. "He is taken care of by a saint, and he is safer than any of us. You should worry more about yourself."

Shi Xiaohan gave a soft "hmm", then obeyed Hu Yun's order, and slowly stepped into the large formation in front of him.

Gu Xu noticed that on the back of her fair neck, a crimson mark shone faintly. From a distance, it looked like it was smeared with blood.

Relying on the knowledge he had learned from books before, Gu Xu knew that this imprint was a type of script called "bird seal script", which was once popular in the Great Chu Dynasty. Its strokes had a bird-like shape and were more artistic than ordinary seal script. It is often carved on the magic vessel.

"Chu."

Gu Xu recognized the meaning of this word.

The moment he recognized it, his mind was immediately filled with worries—he thought of the "Mangshan Ghost King", the "Ghost Attendants", and its desire for revenge.

"Xiaohan, it's dangerous there! Don't go in!"

Watching Shi Xiaohan's back gradually become blurred in the light of the formation, Gu Xu almost couldn't help shouting at her.

Then he realized that he was still in the process of cultivating at the moment, and he was still standing on the "Wangxiang Terrace", Shi Xiaohan couldn't possibly hear his voice.

……

"Have you seen it all?" Just then, a familiar voice came from behind him.

Gu Xu turned around and saw the white-haired boy who looked exactly like him at a glance.

His long hair is loose, like the flowing starlight; his eyes are deep, like a vast starry sky hidden.

However, the difference from the last time is that this time there is one less nail on his body, and it is not nailed to the "Sansheng Stone", but to the railing of the "Wangxiang Terrace".

There was a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't feel the pain of the wound at all.

Gu Xu nodded.

"This meeting, I have to pull out another nail for you, right?" He said bluntly, "Which one to pull out?"

"Don't be so anxious, Gu Xu, I still have a lot of things to talk to you seriously," the white-haired boy smiled slightly, his tone sounded very relaxed, but after seeing Gu Xu's slightly chilly eyes, he Immediately changed, "Okay, I understand your feelings, your fiancée was captured by Mangshan Ghost King's 'Ghost Attendant', you must be anxious to break through and rescue her as soon as possible."

"It's good that you know." Gu Xu said lightly.

The white-haired boy's words verified his guess: "The Undefeated Sword God" Hu Yun is indeed the "Ghost Servant" of the Mangshan Ghost King.

"How does it feel to use 'Astrolabe'?" The white-haired boy asked again.His tone sounded like a salesperson was asking customers about their experience with the product.

"That thing is incomplete and can't be used temporarily." Gu Xu replied.

"Actually, you've already used it." The white-haired boy said mysteriously.

"Have you used it?" Gu Xu frowned slightly.

"You stood on this 'Hometown Terrace' just now, didn't you use its power to see the whole wild world?"

"It turns out that this is the power of 'Astrolabe'," Gu Xu thought thoughtfully, "I thought I was just looking at the world from the 'Wangxiang Terrace'."

"If every monk can see everything in the world from the 'Wangxiang Terrace', that's fine," the white-haired boy explained with his lips slightly raised, "In fact, they can only see their ties in the world, they can see their thoughts and memories.

"One of the functions of the 'Astrolabe' is to use the stars in the sky to correspond to all corners of the world. In this way, you can use the changes in the stars in the sky to know what happened on the ground.

"Luo Chuan's 'Sky Deduction Technique' also relies on this.

"Of course, what you just said is correct, the 'horoscope' in your hand is indeed incomplete.

"The reason why you can see the vast expanse of the Great Wilderness on this 'Wangxiang Terrace' is because I have temporarily completed its functions with my own strength. But when you return to the real world, you will no longer be able to do so." this matter."

"Then what do I need to do?" Gu Xu could hear something in the white-haired boy's words.

"'Astrolabe' has five parts: 'Sanyuan', 'Elephant of the Eastern Canglong', 'Elephant of the Southern Vermilion Bird', 'Elephant of the Western White Tiger' and 'Elephant of Northern Xuanwu'," the white-haired boy replied, " But now, the "star disk" in your hand only has the central "three walls" and "the image of the southern Suzaku", and the remaining three parts are lost in a corner of the wilderness. Let the 'horoscope' become complete again.

"Although the incomplete 'Astrolabe' is already a powerful magic weapon, with your wisdom, you should be able to discover its use very quickly.

"It can help you fly, help you divination, help you cast spells, help you calculate...

"But it doesn't deserve you.

"If the starry sky above your head is your territory, then the complete 'horoscope' is a symbol of your power."

"In such a huge wilderness, where should I find them?" Gu Xu asked, "This is simply looking for a needle in a haystack."

"The power of cause and effect is hidden in the 'Astrolabe'," said the white-haired boy, "even if its fragments are lost, they will only be lost in a specific location.

"For example, the 'Northern Xuanwu Elephant' must have fallen in the north of the Great Wilderness, you just go to the north to find it."

Saying is tantamount to not saying.Gu Xu complained silently in his heart.

"Okay, since you can't wait to save your fiancée, I won't talk to you today. Luo Chuan will probably tell you a lot about us in the future," the white-haired young man smiled, " You should have already seen that the big formation your fiancée is in will suck her soul and erase her self-awareness. If you arrive late, she will be turned into a ghost attendant of the Mangshan Ghost King .

"Hehe, a 'monster body' like her is a good skin that the Mangshan Ghost King has been coveting for a long time."

The words of the white-haired boy successfully aroused Gu Xu's anger.If it wasn't for the huge gap in strength, Gu Xu really wanted to immediately burn the Mangshan Ghost King who dared to be tempted by Shi Xiaohan to ashes.

At the same time, he couldn't help feeling silently in his heart: "It turns out that Xiaohan is a 'demon body'. No wonder she has such a scary appetite, and she has the terrifying brute force of an ancient beast..."

"Come on, Gu Xu, come and help me remove this nail on my right leg," the white-haired boy continued, "The power it seals is called 'Qian Kun', you should need it very much now..."
