"What's the use of Qiankun?" Gu Xu asked.
This name sounds majestic. Gu Xu just hopes that it won't be too worse than "Guangyang" in use.
"You'll know after you try it." The white-haired boy likes to tell lies as always.
Gu Xu said nothing.
He took a few steps forward, squatted down, reached out and grasped the thick and long nail on the leg of the white-haired boy, and pulled it out with force.
The white-haired boy looked down at him, with a faint smile on his lips, seemingly feeling no pain at all.
At this moment, Gu Xu felt that an invisible gate was suddenly opened in his body, and power poured out like a flood, filling his whole body.
Some memories seemed to appear out of thin air in his mind. To be precise, these memories seemed to have been sealed in dust in his mind for a long time. Now that the dust was wiped away, he could see clearly. they.
"Do you know how to use Qiankun?" the white-haired boy asked with a smile.
Gu Xu stood up and nodded.
"Then go back and save your fiancée," the white-haired boy said while touching his chin with his free left hand. "If my estimate is correct, the emperor of Daqi "Your Majesty, it's time to open your eyes. I'm afraid your future life will not be easy."
He deliberately emphasized the word "Your Majesty" with a hint of sarcasm in his tone. A hint of disdain.
"What does it mean to open your eyes?" Gu Xu felt a little confused about this.
"You will know soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the white-haired boy disappeared without a trace. In Gu Xu's field of vision, only the empty "Wangxiang Terrace" remained.
Gu Xu shook his head gently and moved forward.
This white-haired boy is good at everything else, but he often doesn't understand what he says and likes to play riddles with him.
Compared with the steep 4,999 steps up the mountain in Naqi District, the road down the mountain is much flatter and easier to walk.
"After walking past Wangxiang Terrace, Meng Po Pavilion should be right in front of me," Gu Xu silently thought to himself, "I have now looked back on the world, and the next step is to strengthen my Taoist heart and transcend the world of mortals.
“Although the seven-emotion-killing method popular in the exorcism department is fast in breaking through the realm, it also has many disadvantages, which can easily affect the upper limit of future practice.
"In order to successfully cultivate into a saint in the future, I have to work hard to find a way to break through the realm that suits me."
The inner treasury of the royal family.
Zhao Yan sat cross-legged on the ground, quietly looking at Gu Xu who was practicing with his eyes closed beside him.
Although the space here is blocked, isolating all the noise and chaos, and the Ghost King of Mangshan has promised not to harm the two of them, it is relatively safe in theory.
But Zhao Yan did not dare to let down her guard at all.
After all, she has experience in breaking through situations and knows the process of breaking through, especially with Ben.The process of establishing connections between living things must not be interfered by the outside world. Once interrupted, it may cause chaos of true energy, backlash of yin energy, and make the monks go crazy.
At the same time, she glanced at the strange fan-shaped object in Gu Xu's hand with some curiosity.
She saw that when Gu Xu was practicing, this thing shone with silver light and seemed to keep the same rhythm as his breathing.
"This must be the destiny he chose for himself," she thought.
Zhao Yan does not know "Astrolabe".
However, this thing can be stored in the royal treasury along with many precious treasures, and can be noticed by the owner of the famous "Jinghong Brush", so it must be an extraordinary thing.
At this moment, Gu Xu suddenly opened his eyes.
Zhao Yan immediately noticed the surge of aura on his body.
In addition, she also noticed that Gu Xu’s childlike face turned into a deep indigo blue, as if hiding a vast sea of stars.
Obviously Gu Xu has only broken through to the fourth realm, but is still one level lower than her.
But when the two people's eyes collided, Zhao Yan felt a great pressure. This pressure seems to be stronger than that of her saint father, more like walking into a court to meet a king or worshiping a god in front of an altar.
But in the blink of an eye, this pressure disappeared, and Gu Xu's eyes turned black again, as if it was all just her illusion.
Every genius has his own secret. Zhao Yan told herself this. A monster like Gu Xu, who has broken through four realms within a year, must have a lot of secrets hidden in him.
So, she suppressed her curiosity for the time being and said to Gu Xu, "Good luck in breaking through the situation."
Gu Xu nodded and added, "I'll find a way to leave this place." "It's a warehouse solution."
"Really?" Zhao Yan raised her eyebrows slightly.
The two of them had previously tried to break the restrictions left by the Mangshan Ghost King, but they were helpless because of the power of the laws of space hidden in them.
But now, Gu Xu said so calmly that he could break the restriction and leave the warehouse.
He figured out the rules of the ban so quickly
Although it was just the first time they met today, Zhao Yan could feel that Gu Xu was not a person who liked to talk big. He would never act so confident without being completely sure.
Maybe the secret lies in the mysterious magic weapon in his hand
Gu Xu stood up without explaining to her. Now Xiaohan is still in the hands of the "Ghost Waiter" and cannot allow him to waste time here.
Then he took a deep breath and poured his true energy into the incomplete "astrolabe" in his hand.
His eyes turned indigo again.
The lines on the surface of the "astrolabe" that symbolize the movement of the stars shine with silver luster.
Around Gu Xu, several dark lights also appeared, as sharp as lightning.Lee seems to be able to cut off everything in the world.
Zhao Yan knew that these black lights were actually cracks in space.
For most monks, without the help of magic weapons such as "Sky Breaking Pearl", they usually need to reach the seventh level to have the ability to tear apart space and move instantaneously.
Perhaps some monks who specialize in space laws can learn this skill earlier, but that will also require years or even decades of study.
After all, traveling through space is very dangerous and requires extremely precise calculations. If you make a slight mistake, you may be trapped in the gaps in space and crushed into pieces by the turbulent flow of time and space.
But it only took Gu Xu a few minutes to master this skill.
Is this because his talent is too amazing, or is his mysterious magic weapon too powerful?
Soon, these black lights intertwined to create a brand new path. space channel.
This is the power of "Qiankun".
If "Guangyin" is the control of time, then "Qiankun" is the control of space. With the help of "Qiankun", Gu Xu can tear apart space and perform short-distance teleportation with just his fourth level cultivation.
One of the functions of the astrolabe is to use the movements of stars in the sky to deduce the misfortunes and blessings of the world.
Although it is now incomplete, it cannot allow Gu Xu to see everything in the world at a glance like on the "Wangxiang Terrace".
But it is enough to calculate the relevant coordinates of the spatial channel.
In addition, Gu Xu also noticed that with this breakthrough, his original "time" authority seemed to have become a lot stronger, but he needed to wait until actual combat to verify it.
After a while, the space channel has basically taken shape.
Gu Xu turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yan next to him, "Do you want to go together?"
Zhao Yan nodded and finally recovered from the surprise.
"Where does Gu Daoyou plan to go?" she asked.
"Luojing Lirenfang," Gu Xu replied, "my fiancée was kidnapped by the ghost attendant of the Mangshan Ghost King, and I need to rescue her."
It turns out that he is already engaged. Zhao Yan thought to herself.
A few days ago in Luo Jing City, Gu Xu’s engagement was a hotly discussed topic. Some people lamented the relationship between Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan who shared hardships and supported each other from Yishui to the capital, while others secretly complained that Gu Xu got engaged too early and lost their chance.
It was just that during that time, Zhao Yan had been concentrating on practicing in seclusion at home for the Luoshui Conference, so naturally she would not care about these "gossip things".
"I'll go with you," she said calmly, "The ghost attendant is definitely not weak. With me here, the chance of winning will be greater."
This The decision she made was sudden.
Maybe it was because he wanted to repay Gu Xu for helping him awaken his bloodline, or maybe because he wanted to see what his fiancée looked like.
Perhaps it was just Luo Jing's accident and her father's actions that made her lose her direction and couldn't figure out what she should do.
Gu Xu nodded, and then took the lead into the space passage.
According to Shi Xiaohan’s previous description in his letter, Hu Yun, the “Invincible Sword God”, possesses the cultivation level of the sixth realm. Now he has become the “Ghost Attendant” of the Ghost King of Mang Mountain, and he will surely master it. With more weird and unpredictable methods, even the soul of Mangshan Ghost King may come to Hu Yun at any time.
Facing such an enemy, Gu Xu was not sure of victory.
Although Zhao Yan suffered a little in his hands, she was a genuine fifth-level monk after all, and after her bloodline awakening, her strength increased significantly again.
If she is willing to go together, she will undoubtedly be a powerful help.
Luo Jing, Zichen Palace.
The Qianyang Hall, the residence of the Da Qi Emperor, is majestically located on a three-story white marble platform. The golden glazed tiles and red palace walls complement each other, making it look magnificent.
Even though Luojing City has been reduced to chaos by the attack of ghosts, the Qianyang Palace is still as silent as ever, filled with incense, as if it were an independent world.
In the center of the main hall, the golden lacquered dragon throne on the nine steps is empty.
For more than ten years, Emperor Tianxing has never appeared on this chair.
Even if high-ranking ministers like Luo Chuan, the Imperial Master of Da Qi and the Chief of the Exorcism Department, come to the palace to have an audience, or the eunuchs in the palace come upon summons, they can only hear the sound of the sky through the screen. He heard the emperor's voice, but never saw the emperor's face with his own eyes.
Some people even once doubted whether His Majesty the Emperor had ascended to immortality many years ago, and what is left in the world now is just an empty shell.
However, today, there was finally movement behind the screen.
The real name of Emperor Tianxing is "Xiao Zeyao". After taking the throne, in order to facilitate the subjects to avoid taboos, he changed his name to "Xiao Xian".
He has a dignified appearance and a majestic temperament, and his bright yellow imperial robe is particularly eye-catching in the dim palace.
Due to his advanced cultivation, he looks much younger than he actually is, with no wrinkles on his face.
For these years, he has been sitting cross-legged behind the screen, motionless.
If it weren’t for the fact that he still had shallow breathing and heartbeat, if it weren’t for the hanging strands on his imperial crown still swaying gently in the breeze, if it weren’t for the fact that he often summoned important ministers and issued imperial edicts, I’m afraid others would After seeing this scene, you will think that what you are seeing is not a human being, but a lifelike sculpture.
On his lap lay a three-foot long sword.
This sword is made of bronze, with a simple shape, not much decoration, and not particularly sharp. At first glance, it seems very inconspicuous.
But on its hilt, the word "Tai'a" is engraved in seal script.
This is the "Tai'a Sword" that symbolizes the highest power of the Qi Dynasty and that the princes and princesses compete for. It is also the "Tai'a Sword".The hub of the "Tianlong Formation".
Emperor Tianxing's eyes have always been tightly closed.
As if someone had sewn them shut with a needle and thread.
p>
He did not open his eyes when summoning his ministers; he did not open his eyes when selecting palace officials; he did not open his eyes when issuing an imperial edict; It was the Luoshui Conference, and even if a large number of ghosts broke into the city, and even if the Duke of Yan Zhao Changying walked into the palace gate with the Ghost King of Mangshan, he still didn't open his eyes
It was like Luo Jing. The fall had nothing to do with him.
But at this moment, he opened his eyes.
If Gu Xu were here at this time, he would find that this was the moment when Emperor Tianxing opened his eyes. The moment when he established contact with the "Astrolabe" was completely consistent.
And the emperor's eyes were not the normal black or dark brown. It is bright gold, the same color as his imperial robe, bright and particularly dazzling.
"Cao Tong. "He said calmly.
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?" Cao Tong, the eunuch with a pen, hurried into the palace and knelt respectfully in front of the screen.
Cao Tong always When he was in charge of the inner court, sometimes even the officials in the court would act based on his expression, but in this Qianyang Palace, he behaved like a quail.
On the one hand, this is because the power of the chamberlain comes from him. On the other hand, the eunuchs stayed in the palace all the time and had a deeper understanding of the terrifying pressure on Emperor Tianxing than others.
They regard Emperor Tianxing as a god-like existence.
Today, when they reported the news to the emperor that the ghosts had breached the Luojing city wall, Emperor Tianxing just said lightly, " I understand." There was no other reaction. It seemed that this was just a trivial household matter, no different from "the prince peed his pants" or "a bowl was broken in the imperial kitchen."
But the eunuch They are not panic at all.
Because they believe that this is a sign that His Majesty is sure of victory. As long as His Majesty is still in Luojing City, no matter how terrible the ghosts are, they will be wiped out in his hands.
“There is a traitor in Luo Jing. "Emperor Tianxing raised his voice slightly and continued.
His voice was still very calm.
But for some reason, Cao Tong actually heard a hint of alertness in it.
p>
His Majesty the Emperor is actually a little nervous
No, this must be my imagination
Cao Tong warned himself in his heart
“Please, Your Majesty. "Tell me the identity of the traitor," he said, "and I will take people to capture him right now." "
The emperor did not respond immediately.
After a moment, a golden note flew out from behind the screen and landed in front of Cao Tong.
Cao Tong Tong picked it up carefully
When he saw the contents on the paper, he was stunned and couldn't believe his eyes.
I saw it read, "Gu Xu, the head of the Exorcism Department, colluded with ghosts and planned rebellion. He will be killed without mercy."
"The person who colluded with ghosts is Zhao Changying, Duke of Yan, isn't he?" Cao Tong was quite puzzled, "Why did he suddenly become Gu Xu?" "Master Gu, he has outstanding talents and is highly valued by saints. Today he has won the title of Luoshui Conference. He will have a bright future in colluding with ghosts." Conspiracy is extremely risky for him and may not necessarily be beneficial."
Cao Tong's mind became more and more confused as he thought about it.
Then he decided to give up thinking.
< p> He told himself that His Majesty is an eighth-level monk, the wielder of Tai'a Sword, and the most powerful person in the entire Daqi Dynasty. He can see many things that ordinary people cannot see. What Your Majesty said must be right. ."Slave, slave, slave, you will definitely live up to your destiny. " He responded respectfully.
Just when Cao Tong was about to get up and leave, he found a bright yellow figure walking out from behind the screen and standing next to the tall throne.
The figure was shrouded in a strong golden light, which made Cao Tong's eyes sore and tears streaming down his face.
"Your Majesty has come out of seclusion." Cao Tong was horrified again.
