"After you escaped from the Immortal Formation, Her Royal Highness the Princess contacted me immediately," He Yiqun explained with a smile, "She said that because you colluded with ghosts and intended to rebel, the Emperor You issued a killing order and hoped that I would arrest you and take you to the imperial city to be tortured.
"I said at the time that the Da Qi Dynasty was full of talents, including the Imperial Guards and the powerful generals. An exorcist official with unique skills. Why do you need an idle person like me?
“Her Royal Highness the Princess’s explanation is that you can disappear silently in front of Wang Guanyu, so you obviously master a powerful space spell.< /p>
“But since you have not reached the realm of a saint, and you have consumed a large amount of real energy in the Luoshui Conference and the battle in Luojing City, the distance you can travel through space can only be within a range of about a hundred miles. .
"Haha, with my magical power, I can play with you in the palm of my hand.
"In addition, Her Royal Highness the Princess also emphasized that since you have been in various places before, It can be seen from the performance in the case that you are a very cautious person. Before escaping, you will definitely throw away everything that has cause and effect with the Da Qi court to prevent being tracked.
“But there is only one thing that you will carry with you even if you die.
“That is the elixir. "
Hearing the word "elixir", Gu Xu's heart was shocked and he had to sigh from the bottom of his heart. Princess Zhaoning's guess was really accurate.
In the past, she was a When he was an official, he only thought that this woman was beautiful, broad-minded, and knowledgeable, and he had some admiration for her, but that was all.
Now that he is her enemy, he really understands this. The terrible thing about the princess is that she accurately controls people's hearts. She uses her mortal body to plot against practitioners, but she sits in a mansion and drives him hundreds of miles away.
The elixir is indeed real. It is Gu Xu's lifeblood.
Without the elixir, he will have no future.
At the same time, Gu Xu also noticed that Princess Zhaoning mentioned the "battle in Luojing City." , obviously knew about his actions of slaying demons after Luo Jing City was destroyed.
Knowing that he stood up to fight against ghosts, he still arrested him on the charge of "colluding with ghosts". This shows that God. Emperor Xing's authority in the Daqi Dynasty was unequivocal and could confuse right and wrong.
"You may not know that in order to prevent someone from stealing or illegally trading elixirs," He Yiqun continued, "all the elixirs were distributed by the Daqi court. The elixirs all have a secret, imperceptible mark. Once a problem occurs, the mark can be used to track it. ”
He Yiqun’s words reminded Gu Xu of the serial numbers on banknotes in his previous life. Many criminals who stole cash were eventually traced because of these serial numbers.
Unexpectedly, the Daqi Dynasty also had Such a method.
"This mark should not be achieved through the technique of talisman and seal," Gu Xu asked.
Under normal circumstances, if there is a talisman and seal script hidden in the elixir, As a senior talisman cultivator, it should be impossible for him to be unaware.
"Of course not," He Yiqun replied, "According to Her Royal Highness the Princess, it is a secret technique unique to the Da Qi royal family.
"But I don't know the specific details. I only found your location based on the information Her Royal Highness the Princess gave me. "
Gu Xu stopped talking.
He understood that even if he read through the spiritual scriptures, there were still many blind spots in his knowledge in this world, such as the "royal secrets" mentioned by He Yiqun. "Skills" cannot appear in books.
At the same time, he also deeply felt how difficult it is to fight against a country with profound cultural heritage with the power of an ordinary man.
It’s like a dragnet that can’t fly.
After a brief silence, he smiled bitterly and raised his hands towards He Yiqun, “Okay, Mr. He, I’ve finished asking my questions. You have the mysterious power of shrinking into an inch. It is impossible for me to run faster than you.
"Just, after you take me back to Luojing City, can you please give my fiancée a message?"
"Of course." He Yiqun readily agreed.
Ever since he witnessed Gu Xu comprehending "Firefly Flame" in a quarter of an hour last year, He Yiqun has always admired this young genius. Now that Gu Xu has become a traitor for no apparent reason, he also feels very sorry.
Now, Gu Xu should have given up resistance and begun to give his last words.
When he was desperate, he still missed his fiancée. It was obvious that he was a man who valued love and justice.
"Please tell Xiaohan for me," Gu Xu's voice was choked and his eyes were slightly red, "I can't accompany her until she grows old as I promised before. I hope I hope she Don't be sad because of me, you have to look forward in life. I believe that she will become a hero who slays demons and upholds justice for heaven."
He Yiqun listened patiently.
He is a very empathetic person. When Gu Xu said his last words, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for the two young and fateful mandarin ducks, and lamented that fate played tricks on people.
However, before Gu Xu finished speaking, a raging fire suddenly burst into flames in the forest, covering the sky and covering the ground, obscuring He Yiqun's sight.
Immediately afterwards, countless black ripples appeared in the air, like ripples on a calm lake, and like an invisible iron cage, surrounding He Yiqun.
He Yiqun discovered that not only had he lost Gu Xu's whereabouts, but his magical power of "shrinking the ground into an inch" was also limited by distance. He could not move beyond these black ripples.
“I’m so careless, so careless,” he reached out and touched his beard, shook his head and sighed, “I was actually confused by this kid’s acting skills.
“This kid only has the fourth level. He is really evil to be able to cast such exquisite space spells despite his cultivation level."
He took out the jade talisman of communication and prepared to ask Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoning about Gu Xu's whereabouts.
He I swear secretly that the next time I catch up with this guy Gu Xu, I will never listen to him again.If he says any more nonsense, he will definitely act resolutely and take him directly back to Luojing City.
At the same time.
Gu Xu was holding the "astrolabe" in his hand and flying rapidly in mid-air.
The painful "last words" just now were undoubtedly a temporary performance by him to make He Yiqun temporarily relax his vigilance.
After that, he immediately took out nearly fifty "Fire Flame True Talismans", created a mighty forest fire, and built a space cage with the power of "Qiankun".
Although He Yiqun can travel through space with the help of the magical power of "shrinking the ground into an inch", he is essentially a talisman cultivator and is not proficient in the laws of space.
It can be understood that "shrunk into an inch" is a car gifted to him by God. He Yiqun can drive it, but he does not understand its mechanical structure and operating principles.
However, Gu Xu’s “Qiankun” power directly touches the essence of the laws of space.
When it comes to running, Gu Xu will most likely not be as fast as He Yiqun.
However, he can use the law of space to trap He Yiqun in place, making him unable to catch up with him for a while.
While escaping, Gu Xu did not forget to take out bottle after bottle of pills from "Xianyun Residence" and threw them into the deep forest ravine.
His heart was bleeding with pain.
No matter how precious the elixir is, it is not as valuable as your own life.
As long as we can escape from this desperate situation, there will always be a way to get new pills in the future.
Since Gu Xu’s true energy is not full, his space cage cannot last long.
But this short moment was enough to get him out of He Yiqun's sight.
After two consecutive escapes from death, fatigue was like a tide, coming from all directions, burrowing into his skin and flesh, pouring into his limbs, mouth and nose, making his whole body limp and soft. It was so light that it seemed like it might fall to the ground at any moment.
But he still relied on his strong perseverance to support his body and keep his mind clear, and he did not dare to relax his vigilance for a moment.
After a while, he flew to a deep and winding canyon.
This canyon is made of purple-red stone sandstone, with rugged cliffs and scattered pools and waterfalls. It is only two or three meters wide at its narrowest point. Looking up, you can only catch a glimpse of skylight between the two cliffs.
At this moment, two more people appeared in front of Gu Xu one after another, blocking his way.
These two people are also old acquaintances of Gu Xu.
In front is a young man wearing a brocade robe, with strong features and a dignified appearance. Gu Xu knew that this person was Xiao Shangyuan, the eldest prince of the Daqi Dynasty.
In the back is an old man with white hair wearing a cloth shirt. He is clearly Fan Cheng, a worshiper of the Da Qi royal family and a personal attendant of the eldest prince.
"Brother Gu Xian, long time no see," the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan took the lead in greeting Gu Xu with a smile on his face.
Although his expression looks friendly and kind, when he opens his mouth, he has already displayed the "Dragon Domain".Gu Xu's routes in all directions were blocked.
Gu Xu looked at him quietly and the dazzling shadow of the five-clawed golden dragon behind him without saying a word.
He still remembered that when they last met in Qingzhou Mansion, the eldest prince admired his talisman and seal skills very much, and wanted to take him under his command to help him fight for the succession to the throne.
Unexpectedly, during this encounter, the two of them would be on opposite sides
One was a member of the royal family, and the other was a prisoner of the imperial court.
"Brother Gu Xian, I have always recognized your talent in cultivation," I heard Xiao Shangyuan continue, "I expected that you won the first prize in the Luoshui Conference today.
“I thought that one day, we could work together to create a glorious and prosperous age, get rid of ghosts and stabilize the world together.
"It's just that I never expected that you would play a very disgraceful role in today's disaster."
Gu Xu still did not respond.
The little true energy he had left was galloping and roaring in his meridians, like a wild horse that had escaped the reins.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiao Shangyuan smiled and continued, "Actually, today, you first escaped from the Immortal Sealing Formation, and then escaped from He Yiqun's pursuit. I was very surprised. I didn't expect a mere The monks in the fourth realm would burst out with such amazing power during their escape.
“But fortunately, Princess Zhaoning had already expected that He Yiqun’s cynical character would probably put her in trouble. Treat the task as a game, and you will slip away if you are not careful.
"So she notified me again and asked me to use the Sky Breaking Pearl to come to Qingyaoshan to block you.
"My father has a strong intention to kill you.
"If I take you back, both my father and the Tai'a sword in his hand will definitely have a favorable impression of me."
As Xiao Shangyuan said, He stretched out his hand and pointed at Gu Xu, and the five-clawed golden dragon behind him suddenly rushed towards Gu Xu with the force of shaking the sky and the earth.
Fortunately, Gu Xu was prepared.
He immediately activated his true energy and performed the seventh form of the "Seven Burning Heaven Forms", "Firefly Flame".
Last year, he had a discussion with the fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen in the "Realm of Discussing the Tao" and knew that the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" had a significant restraining effect on the Tianlong Heart Sutra practiced by members of the Daqi royal family. .
In an instant, countless dots of orange light appeared in the canyon, like fireflies flying in the fields on a summer night.
In front of Xiao Shangyuan's five-clawed golden dragon shadow, these fireflies seemed very dim and small.
But when the two forces collided, it was the majestic five-clawed golden dragon that staggered back.
It let out a shrill roar, then shattered into pieces, turning into bright shards of light that filled the sky.
But at the same time, Gu Xu also became extremely pale due to overdraft of his true energy.
He exerted his strength and swayedFloating in the air, like a lonely boat in the storm.
But Xiao Shangyuan is not fighting alone.
When Gu Xu was fighting Xiao Shangyuan with the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", more than ten sharp ice edges flew "swishing" from behind him, like wind and lightning, and pierced him. chest, abdomen and throat.
This spell, called "Sichuan Ning Frozen Mist", is one of the unique skills that the royal family enshrines Fan Cheng to master.
A sixth-level monk and a fifth-level monk who cultivated the Dragon Heart Sutra. The two of them teamed up to deal with a fourth-level monk. They were bullying the weak, relying on strength, and not practicing martial ethics.
But Gu Xu’s eyes were still calm.
Today’s battle is not a friendly discussion, but a battle of life and death.
The enemy will not pay attention to the so-called "fairness" with him.
He has made up his mind to use the "substitute bracelet" given to him by Luo Sishou to withstand the fatal blow from behind in order to buy time.
However, a moment later, Fan Cheng's ice edge did not stab his body as expected.
Gu Xu turned his head in surprise and saw two familiar figures appearing out of thin air in the canyon.
One of them wore a high hat and floral robe, with white powder on his face and a red nose, looking like a clown on the stage.
This person had a funny smile on his face and used his "Jumen Xingjun" Dharma Body to block the "Sichuan Ning Frozen Mist" for Gu Xu.
The other person is a young woman wearing a cyan costume. She wore a gorgeous headdress, thick powder and makeup on her face, making it impossible to see her true appearance.
"It's Qing Ming's people who are here." Gu Xu thought to himself.
Not long ago, on his way to the Daguguan lava cave, he was chased by three masked men in black, who are now confirmed to be the "ghost attendants" of the Mangshan Ghost King.
At that life-and-death moment, it was these two people who claimed to be from the "Qing Ming" organization who suddenly appeared beside Gu Xu, drove away the black-clad "ghost waiters" and helped Gu Xu escape. Danger.
And today, the two of them once again became Gu Xu's savior.
"You"
"Sorry, the rescue is late," the woman in green smiled apologetically and said to him, "Master Gu, come with me quickly."
The word "rescue" spoken by the woman in Tsing Yi seemed to confirm Gu Xu's status as a rebel.
But Gu Xu can no longer care about so much.
Although he does not completely trust this "Qing Ming" organization, he is now at the end of his rope. Instead of staying in the canyon and dying slowly, it is better to gamble on the position of "Qing Ming" and gain a chance of survival.
So, he grabbed the arm of the woman in Tsing Yi, and the woman in Tsing Yi took out another "Breaking Sky Bead" and crushed it.
With a flash of light, the two of them disappeared together.
At this moment, Gu Xu could no longer resist the physical and mental fatigue.
When the surrounding sceneryAfter the object turned into a color block, his legs were too weak to support him, all thoughts were blurred, and he was no longer able to think about anything.
Before he could clearly see where he was teleported to, he fainted and fell to the ground, his consciousness falling into darkness. ,,
