Rising Xianxia World

Chapter 44
"Really?" Jiu Piaoling said happily.

She stared at Gu Qiubai with a pair of beautiful eyes, hoping for a positive answer.

Gu Qiubai had to admit that this way of questioning was too lethal, and it made his mind waver.

He coughed dryly, scratched his head, and said, "After being interrupted by you, I seem to have forgotten again."

"Ah?" Jiu Piaoling was stunned, a little at a loss, "Then what should I do?"

"I'm a bit strange. When I can't remember something, I can immediately remember it when someone kisses me."

Gu Qiubai looked at Jiu Piaoling's cute look, and couldn't help but feel a little teasing.

When Ninth Piaoling heard this, she immediately became annoyed: "Gu Qiubai, what time is it, can you be more serious!"

Gu Qiubai said seriously: "Miss Piaoling, I did have a flash of inspiration just now. I thought of choosing that door, but I was disturbed by you and suddenly forgot. I am also very helpless."

Ninth Piaoling wrinkled her nose and looked at Gu Qiubai with a blush on her face: "Then, can you really remember when I kissed you?"

"It's absolutely true!" Gu Qiubai spoke righteously.

He was amused in his heart, but he didn't expect that the Ninth Piaoling actually took it seriously when he just said it casually, he was really ignorant of the world.

At this time, if you don't take advantage of the advantages, it is really a loss!

Ninth Piaoling's cheeks became more and more red, and one finger kept wrapping around the corner of his clothes, obviously struggling.

Growing up so big, she had never been alone with a man, let alone kissed him.

"Miss Piao Ling, the overall situation is the most important thing, we really don't have much time!"

"Well then, close your eyes!" Jiu Piaoling bit her lips, then looked at Gu Qiubai viciously, "Hmph, if you can't remember later, I will definitely kill you first. Then choose a door at random."

What a dear, Gu Qiubai's heart suddenly "thumped", and he felt a little nervous.

Ninth Piaoling leaned over her body, her red lips glistening, and slowly approached Gu Qiubai. The faint fragrance wafted into Gu Qiubai's nose, making him a little intoxicated.

"Bam—"

Just when Ninth Piaoling was kissing, the whole underground palace trembled suddenly.

This time the tremor was more intense than before, and stones even fell from the top of the underground palace.

Gu Qiubai immediately opened his eyes, secretly annoyed that something happened at this time.

Ninth Piaoling also sensed something was wrong, and withdrew her body, but the two unconsciously got closer, and the atmosphere was a little ambiguous.

"Uh, that, I suddenly remembered that I want to choose that door, let's go." Gu Qiubai smiled, "This kiss is considered as your debt to me, and I will pay it back next time."

Ninth Piaoling rolled his eyes at Gu Qiubai, the blush on his cheeks still persisted, and he said angrily, "Get lost!"

Gu Qiubai stopped joking, pointed to one of the stone gates carved with Xuanwu totems and said, "Let's go through this gate!"

"How do you know that you can leave through this door?" Ninth Piaoling asked doubtfully.

She found that in front of Gu Qiubai, her brain seemed to be insufficient.

"Explain as you go."

Now that Shimen has been selected, Gu Qiubai dare not delay any longer, so as not to cause any trouble.

The two raised their legs one after the other with difficulty, and walked towards the stone gate with the basalt pattern printed in front of them.

While walking, Gu Qiubai pointed to the Ye Mingzhu in the underground palace and said, "Look at the Ye Mingzhu around you, did you find anything?"

The Ninth Piao Ling raised her head, looked at the Ye Mingzhus around her, and gave a light snort: "It seems that some Ye Mingzhus have silver radiance flowing in them."

Gu Qiubai nodded, and said: "Well, then you can connect these silvery night pearls and have a look."

Ninth Piaoling swiped his fingers in the void, and then looked at Gu Qiubai in surprise: "It's the word 'bei'!"

"That's right!" Gu Qiubai nodded.

This is the clue left to them by the master of the underground palace, combined with the totem on the stone gate, it is the correct life gate!

Ninth Piaoling was still a little puzzled: "Does the word 'North' refer to the direction? Then how do you know that this door is North?"

The inside of the underground palace is circular, and there are no landmarks to distinguish the north, south, east, and west. Even if you know the word 'north', you can't tell whether the door is located in the north, right?

"This 'North' may be the direction, or it may be some kind of meaning." Gu Qiubai shook his head, looked at Ninth Piaoling, "Didn't you check countless papers, you should know the Four Divine Beasts, right?"

"Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, Xuanwu?" Jiu Piaoling asked, and then she suddenly realized, "Oh, the carvings on the stone gate turned out to be four divine beasts, I wonder why they feel so familiar!"

Gu Qiubai nodded. The culture of this fairy world has a lot in common with the real world. Since there are four gods and beasts here, it is not surprising that the Ninth Piaoling knows about it.

"According to the Five Elements Theory, each of these four gods and beasts represents a direction. The blue dragon belongs to wood and represents the east, the white tiger belongs to gold and represents the west, and the red bird belongs to fire and represents the south. Called the God of the North, it represents the 'North'!" Gu Qiubai explained.

"It's clear enough now." Gu Qiubai said, "Actually, even if there is no hint of 'North', I would still choose Xuanwumen. It is the most suitable choice, the word 'North' just makes my judgment more accurate."

Ninth Piaoling squinted her eyes, stared blankly at Gu Qiubai, and said, "So you know so well, but you were lying to me when you said you had to kiss me before you remembered."

Feeling the faint murderous aura of Ninth Piaoling, Gu Qiubai tightened his body, and said righteously: "Girl Piaoling, how could I lie to you? I really forgot just now. After all, this kind of knowledge is too rare, and I just In a flash."

After a pause, Gu Qiubai turned his back on the guest: "Also, you didn't get a kiss just now, so you still owe me."

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to talk to you!" Jiu Piaoling turned her head away.

Before they knew it, the two were approaching the Xuanwu Gate, and the Xuanyin sunflower water below had been poured several times, and it was only six or seven inches away from the top of the stone pier.

The two moved forward more cautiously, if one of them was not contaminated with some Xuanyin sunflower water, then all previous efforts would be in vain.

The underground palace shook violently, and the Xuanyin sunflower water spread up, and when it was about to submerge the stone pier, Gu Qiubai and Jiu Piaoling finally arrived in front of the Xuanwu Gate.

The two looked at each other, this is the last chance!
If the previous guess was inaccurate, the two of them would really be buried here.

Gu Qiubai took a deep breath and said, "Push it!"

The two of them circulated their spiritual power at the same time, and suddenly pushed towards the stone gate engraved with Xuanwu. There was a "rumbling" sound, and a gap opened in the stone gate, and white light poured out, shining on the two of them.

"Roar--"

A roar of a beast seemed to come from the void, and the Xuanwu imprinted on the stone gate seemed to come alive.

Xuanwu flew out from the stone gate, and under the astonished eyes of the two, a burst of black light radiated out, covering them completely.

The two felt their bodies float up involuntarily, and then fell into the Xuanyin sunflower water with a "bang".

Gu Qiubai felt his body being carried by Xuanwu to wander in the void for an unknown amount of time, as if falling heavily from a high altitude, he woke up with a start.

He looked around and found that he was already in a small forest.
