The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 442 The Mist and the Bell
Lu Qian and his group were thirteen in total when they set off.

At this point, there are six people left.

More than half died.

This death rate is not too high.

but--

Li Deyu and Huo Li died at the hands of Gu Qingcai.

Duan Daoji and Zhongsun Bojing both died at the hands of Lu Qian.

Of the seven people who died, only Taoist Xijin and Zhong Simei were actually killed by monsters in the secret realm.

As for the earth spirit, his death was a bit bizarre.

At that time, everyone was riding on the ghost sail, located in the "Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk" space, and was sucked downward by a huge suction force.

When Tu Ling saw Lu Qian's soul, a look of extreme surprise appeared on his face.

So far.

The appearance of a normal person's soul body is of course the same as that of the physical body.

Lu Qian never thought much about whether Tu Ling died in his own hands, or whether he died from the combined attacks of him, Zhenru, or even more people.

Only Lu Qian had the Suzaku Heart to protect him and retained a little memory.

He was trying his best to recall what happened next, but he could only recall a few vague fragments.

Of course, it was impossible for Lu Qian to review this kind of matter with Taoist Zhenru.

On the other hand, their behavior is also controlled by the subconscious mind.

This is the last scene in Lu Qian's memory.

So why did Taoist Zhenru kill the earth spirit?
Taoist Zhenru at that time saw the old appearance of Gu Qingcai's soul body and head. Perhaps that was when he finally confirmed that Gu Qingcai was Taoist Shuihe.

Pointless.

Lu Qian remembered that Gu Qingcai was in an extremely old state at that time, and Zhenru was staring at Gu Qingcai closely. Everyone else was basically in a state of panic, except Tu Ling, who was looking around nervously.

There are secrets everywhere, and everyone among them can basically find problems if they think carefully.

However, later, when Lu Qian saw Tu Ling's body, his eyes were darkened deep in the eyes, with vague traces of burning. This was somewhat similar to the consequences of his "mental burning".

Maybe it's this reason, or maybe it's other reasons that Lu Qian doesn't know.

All three people in the imperial court were wiped out.

Because Shuihe Taoist was too powerful, Zhenru subconsciously wanted to kill the people on Five Elements Island and weaken their side out of consideration for his own safety.

His soul and this body are not the same person.

But Lu Qian is an exception. His soul came from time to time.

Among the people who were lost, one soul's head was forced out of the body.

And he himself should have taken action.

It doesn't make sense either.

Therefore, the behaviors they reveal basically represent the truest state of everyone's heart.

Lu Qian later speculated that he must have discovered that the appearance of his soul body was inconsistent with that of his physical body.

This "brain" is actually in a subconscious state and is not under the control of their personal subjective thinking.

It is not difficult to understand why he attacked the earth spirit.

Their trip to the secret seabed this time was really a bit bizarre.

Only two of the six people on Five Elements Island are left.

He had no idea whether others had done anything.

As for why he chose to attack the earth spirit instead of the wood shock...

Even including Gu Qingcai!
So, it is not difficult to understand that in the end everyone remained silent and exposed this matter.

He vaguely remembered that Zhenru seemed to have taken action against the earth spirit.

Lu Qian took action, naturally with the intention of silencing him.

As for how the earth spirit's soul was finally destroyed, he really couldn't remember it now.

At this time, their state was lost.

Gu Qingcai just said "nothing surprising" in a very calm tone, probably because of his feelings.

Afterwards, when everyone woke up and found Tu Ling's body, except for Mu Zhen, no one else was sure whether they had done it.

Perhaps it was because he saw Lu Qian attacking Tu Ling, so he subconsciously followed him to attack.

Almost nothing they did at that time will remain in the memory.

I don’t know why, but all of their souls seemed to be oppressed by external forces, and part of them was pulled out of their bodies.

……

Only the three of them, Qingxuan Guan, were unscathed.

In this operation, the least "smooth" one was Five Elements Island, where the most people died.

However, it was Gu Qingcai from Five Elements Island who said, "Don't you think our journey has been too smooth?"

Hearing Gu Qingcai's words, Taoist Zhenru opened his mouth, but after his eyes flickered, he seemed a little embarrassed and closed his mouth again without saying a word.

Seeing this, Lu Qian said, "That's because there is a sword slave to guide us. If there were no sword slaves, we wouldn't know where we are wandering at the moment, and we might not be able to get here in another ten days."

Lu Qian was telling the truth, and no one could disagree with this.

His words actually proved that, at least so far, the sword slave of Liuyun Sword Immortal was indeed leading the way for them.

That means that they are following the sword slave and taking the right path.

Gu Qingcai nodded and said, "Then why are you hesitating?"

After saying that, he jumped down directly without any hesitation.

Gu Qingcai fell very quickly and disappeared into the fog below in the blink of an eye.

Taoist Zhenru gave Lu Qian a meaningful look and said, "Let's go together."

Lu Qian understood the meaning of Taoist Zhenru's look.

Gu Qingcai deliberately concealed his identity, and I'm afraid he had an ulterior motive for this trip, so it was time for him to take action.

Lu Qian nodded, and then the two of them jumped down together.

Wang Yuanzhang followed closely behind Lu Qian and jumped down.

……

After Lu Qian fell into the fog below, he immediately lost all vision.

Even when the mental power is detected, it is greatly disturbed and nothing can be seen.

He couldn't even see Taoist Zhenru who should be very close to him.

Moreover, Lu Qian felt that this thick fog was very sluggish.

He could even feel that after he entered the mist, a strong buoyancy came from his body to lift him up, slowing down his fall.

This is not a good sign.

Lu Qian immediately pulled out the true spirit energy, first protected his body, and at the same time used the Blue Sea Sword to surround himself, forming a protective barrier.

Afterwards, Lu Qian controlled the posture of his body so that he could stand completely vertically, minimizing the resistance to his fall as much as possible.

Being in mid-air and losing your field of vision is not a good sign.

The less time you spend in the fog, the less danger you will face.

While Lu Qian was adjusting, he suddenly felt a person falling from above his head and lying directly on his back.

It was Wang Yuanzhang who jumped down right after him.

Seeing this, Lu Qian used his mental power to send a message to her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wang Yuanzhang said: "I feel... not very good."

Lu Qian said: "It's strange that a place like this can feel good."

After that, Lu Qian tried to contact Qin Yingying and Zuo Qiuling with his mental power.

He could still feel the existence of the paper brides by relying on them, but at this time, communication with them became unsmooth. Lu Qian sent messages to them one by one and informed them of his actions.

However, they never got a reply.

They should have contacted Lu Qian, but he could no longer receive the message.

After a long while, Lu Qian's feet landed on the ground.

It's a little soft underfoot.

After landing, he couldn't even see the ground!
It was as if there was a very thick fog covering his eyes.

At this time, except for the soft ground, he couldn't feel anything else. He didn't know where this place was or what was around him.

Seeing this, Lu Qian asked: "Master Zhenru? Master of Gu Island?"

"Listen to my voice and move forward."

Gu Qingcai's voice came from ahead.

Just as Lu Qian was about to step forward, he suddenly felt the air flow beside him fluctuate, and then he vaguely saw a person appearing next to him.

There was only one foot between them, but Lu Qian couldn't even see his face.

However, he could vaguely recognize that this was Zhenru Taoist.

Zhenru Taoist said: "Don't panic, there should be no danger around."

"Ah."

If there is danger here, then they are really the turtles in the urn at this moment.

Lu Qian responded, and then he and Taoist Zhenru stepped forward together.

Perhaps their actions disturbed the surrounding airflow, and the surrounding fog began to flow. The thickness of the dense fog began to become uneven, and from time to time, some blurry scenes around them could be seen.

After walking for a while, the thick fog in front of him became thin again, and then Lu Qian saw a figure about one foot in front of him.

Looking at the back, it should be Gu Qingcai.

Gu Qingcai was very calm and walked forward step by step. This made Lu Qian feel a little strange. Could there be a way for him to see the surrounding scene?

With his strength, it would not be surprising even if he had such means.

Taoist Zhenru obviously also saw Gu Qingcai. He took two steps and came behind Gu Qingcai, and at the same time asked aloud: "Where is the sword slave?"

Gu Qingcai said without looking back: "I'm watching him, you follow me."

Taoist Zhenru frowned and said, "Should we call them down first? If we go like this, can they keep up?"

Gu Qingcai said: "If we wait for them, we won't be able to keep up with the sword slaves."

Lu Qian listened to his flat tone and thought to himself: "It seems that he doesn't care about their owner of Muzhen Island."

Taoist Zhenru frowned, and the situation below was obviously beyond his expectation.

Then, he took out a talisman from his arms, put it to his mouth and muttered something for a while, then threw the talisman upwards, and the talisman flew out of his own accord.

Then, Taoist Zhenru took out another talisman and put it on his back with his backhand.

After the light yellow talisman was attached to his back, a faint light began to flicker on it.

After Taoist Zhenru finished doing this, he said, "I informed Zhenhai and asked him to bring them down."

Gu Qingcai could not care about Mu Zhen, but Zhenru could not care less about Zhenhai and Liu Yuyan, his two right-hand men.

What Taoist Zhenru offered should be a talisman of guidance. The talisman he just threw out would fly to Taoist Zhenhai, and then Zhenhai would be able to find Taoist Zhenru holding this talisman.

After saying that, Zhenru took a few steps forward and followed Gu Qingcai four or five feet behind.

Lu Qian followed Taoist Zhenru, also keeping a distance of three or four feet.

In this way, he walked forward step by step. After walking for a while, Lu Qian found that the fog around him began to become thinner. He could already see the ground at this time, and his field of vision could barely extend to one foot away and close to him. Two feet away.

However, this feeling is still not good. If there is any danger around him, he will not be able to react at the two-foot warning distance.

However, at this point, there was no other way but to bite the bullet and move forward.

Now I can only place my bet on the sword slave.

After walking for a while, the clouds suddenly cleared in front of me. The thick fog suddenly became lighter. Although the vision was still a little blurry, it was much clearer than before. Lu Qian's eyesight could now see twenty or thirty people. More than ten feet away.

As far as he could see, everything was empty.

About two feet in front of Gu Qingcai, Lu Qian finally saw the sword slave.

The sword slave walked forward step by step, leaving clear footprints on the ground.

Suddenly, a tall archway suddenly appeared in front of them.

There seemed to be a gust of wind blowing from inside the archway, blowing the fog and half covering the archway, so that they could not see what words were written on the archway.

On the flat ground, there stood a solitary archway.

When he got closer, Lu Qian discovered that there was a stone road on the ground under the archway.

The stone road is not wide and is completely paved with irregularly shaped stone slabs, extending forward into the depths of the mist.

The sword slave at the front walked directly under the archway, stepped onto the stone road, and then continued forward.

After walking for some distance, a wooden frame suddenly appeared in front of them. On the wooden frame, there was also a large and simple bell hanging.

Gu Qingcai in front raised his eyes and looked at the big bell. After looking at it for a while, he suddenly walked forward quickly and came to the side of the big clock. He directly picked up the bell pestle on the side and hit the big bell directly.

Seeing this scene, Lu Qian and Taoist Zhenru's expressions changed drastically at the same time:
This Gu Qingcai is too imprudent, he dares to bump into this kind of thing casually?

However, it was too late for them to stop him at this time.

Moreover, judging from Gu Qingcai's decisive attitude, even if they tried to stop them, he would not listen.

Boom~~~~
The melodious bell rang, and a circle of sound waves rippled through the surrounding fog, which could actually be seen with the naked eye.

As soon as the bell rang, the surrounding fog was immediately dispersed.

And as the bell spread far away, the thick fog further away also began to dissipate.

The sound of this bell can dispel the fog!

After Gu Qingcai rang the bell, he continued to hit the bell.

Boom~~~~
Boom~~~~
Boom~~~~
Boom~~~~
……

After the bell rang nine times, the surrounding fog completely dispersed. At least within a hundred feet, the fog had almost completely dissipated.

Although it was still dark all around, it was no longer a problem for them.

After the bell rang nine times, Gu Qingcai put down the bell and continued walking forward.

At this time, Lu Qian suddenly realized that this bell should be a magical weapon specially built by cultivators in ancient times to dispel the fog.

It seems that the cultivators back then were also troubled by these fogs, so they came up with special strategies to deal with them.

Gu Qingcai, on the other hand, understood the purpose of the bell just by looking at it. He obviously knew more than them.

After walking several hundred feet, the thick fog condensed in front again, getting denser and denser.

Seeing this, the three of them did not panic and continued to walk forward along the stone road under their feet.

The surrounding fog was thin and thick, and very uneven. From time to time, some airflow blew through, blowing away large areas of fog, revealing a large area of ​​​​emptiness.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, another identical clock appeared on the stone road ahead, hanging on a wooden frame.

When Gu Qingcai saw this, he picked up the bell and pestle and started ringing the bell again.

A bell rang, and the surrounding fog dispersed.

This time, the surrounding fog dissipated to reveal a larger space, and they could even see a range of seven to eight hundred feet away.

The lonely stone road continued forward, and when it reached the end of the field of vision, fields suddenly began to appear on the roadside.

The fields and ridges are crisscrossed, forming a regular well field.

Someone opened a well field here.

Are you going to farm in such a ghost place?

The three people looked at Qianmo in the distance and were stunned.

At this moment, Lu Qian suddenly felt something and looked back.

Behind them, at the end of the field of vision, several figures flew out of the fog.

They seemed to be following the sound of the bell, coming very quickly.
