Gu Xu looked at the scarlet formation on the ground gradually taking shape, his expression becoming more serious.
"You have arranged this formation a long time ago"
"Of course." The hunchbacked old man nodded, with a triumphant look in his eyes that everything was in order. The meaning of being in control.
"You have long expected that Xue Nu and I will come to Liangzhou"
"Let me calculate with my fingers, there is a big cause and effect between you two and this city."
Another voice sounded in Gu Xu's ears.
He turned around and saw an old man with a white beard wearing a blue robe walking from the other side of the street. This man was walking on the ice and snow, but there were no footprints under his feet; the snow was covering the sky, but there were no footprints on his body. Not a single snowflake caught on it.
This old man with a white beard looked very familiar to Gu Xu.
He saw it once on the hiking trail of the Laoshan ruins, and again at the black altar in Yishan.
In his guess, this old Taoist is the most similar to the original body among all the clones of Kongxuan Sanren.
"So, my descendant, I ask you again, are you willing to join me in trying to break the shackles of this world and find the true supreme realm?" The white-bearded old man cleared his throat. He continued to talk to Gu Xu in a pleasant manner.
"Master Immortal, you still want to persuade me to practice the Zhaoming Forbidden Technique" Gu Xu said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth, half-smile.
"You should still remember clearly the words I left in Xianyun Residence: Be careful, don't ask for ascension," the old white-bearded Taoist said earnestly like a teacher, "In this world "The power of the human race has its limits after all. Your current cultivation method is a shocking scam. Only by getting rid of the identity of the human race can you escape from the scam and understand the true secret of the great road."
A few months ago, Gu Xu might have been frightened by his words.
But now, he has long understood the truth of the world from Luo Chuan, and also knows the existence of the ninth realm "Guixu" from the astrolabe tool spirit. Of course, he will not believe Kong Xuan. The Sanren's statement that being a ghost is the real path.
"Boy, not only do you have a short lifespan now, but you are also not tolerated by the Qi court," the hunchbacked old man continued to seduce him in a devilish tone, "Even if you can call for help this time, saints I won’t come to help you. Why don’t you cooperate with me? Not only can you live forever, but you can also discover the true method of transcendence."
Gu Xu was silent, seeming to turn a deaf ear to his words.
He really wants to live for a long time.
But what he wants is to live freely, to live without being manipulated by others.
He has already guessed that Kong Xuan Sanren left a way to control Xue Nu on her body, so after she entered Liangzhou City, she lost control without warning and became the sacrifice of Kong Xuan Sanren. The tool of the eternal soul.
He knew very well that once he agreed to Kong Xuan Sanren's conditions, he would become a puppet controlled by him just like Yuki Onna.A puppet, a test subject whose life is worse than death.
The only question is, is he still qualified to reject Kongxuan Sanren when he is under the opponent's control?
"I don't know if Luo Sishou can see my current situation. "He thought silently.
Gu Xu always felt that when Luo Chuan revealed his true identity as "Wenchang Xingjun" to him, many things began to become thought-provoking
For example, Luo Chuan, as An eighth-level monk who is proficient in the art of deducing heaven's secrets, will he really be easily deceived by Kongxuan Sanren's spell to block the secrets of heaven?
For another example, Gu Xu's mask now has side effects and is cut off from the world. Is the causal connection expected by Luo Chuan? Will Luo Chuan himself be affected by the mask?
Of course, Gu Xu knows that he cannot place his hope of escape entirely on others. Counting on Luo Si Shou to save him.
He must find a way to break the situation on his own.
His eyes once again looked at the snow girl standing in the sky not far away, controlling the flying snow in the sky.
At this moment, her silver hair was fluttering in the wind, like a burning white flame. A pair of eyes were empty and dark, without any emotion or radiance.
She has become a puppet with no power but no free will. She will only continue to kill and devour under the control of Kongxuan Sanren.
As more and more people died in her hands, the scarlet light of the array became thicker and more dazzling.
The entire Liangzhou City looked like a sea of blood in an ice cave in hell, and everyone was suffering the cruelest punishment.
Several other clones of Kong Xuan Sanren also came from all directions and appeared in front of him.
They chanted the same mantra in a uniform tone. Their aura seemed to gradually rise with the rhythm of the spell.
Gu Xu knew that he had to stop the promotion ceremony of Kongxuan Sanren.
Once Kong Xuan Sanren truly becomes the Ghost King, the entire wilderness will face an unprecedented horrific disaster, and it will be almost impossible for him to have a chance to resist and escape.
"The key to the problem lies in Xue Nu," he thought to himself, "Currently around Liangzhou, only Xue Nu has the power to resist Kongxuan Sanren.
"And Snow Girl is also a crucial part of Kong Xuan Sanren's layout. If she could escape the control of Kong Xuan Sanren, it would definitely have an impact on this promotion ceremony that cannot be underestimated.
"What I have to do now is to find a way to awaken the humanity of the snow girl. I believe that her nature is kind, and she will definitely not be willing to watch Kongxuan Sanren sacrifice a hundred thousand souls and become The King of Ghosts."
Thinking of this, Gu Xu made a thought and took out the "Jinghong Pen" and held it tightly in his hand.
Although Xue Nu has temporarily lost her rationality under the control of Kong Xuan Sanren, there is still a spiritual connection between her and Gu Xu through the Jinghong Pen.surface contact.
Gu Xu once again used Jinghong Pen to share his senses, his emotions, his memories, and his feelings with her.
It was just like that night, sitting in a restaurant in Jingzhou City.
He began to recall the poetry meeting in the Lu family’s haunted house, the battle with Tang Hui, the meeting on the top of Yishan Mountain, the fish cakes and candied haws in Jingzhou City, and the hot pot in Longzhou City
He hopes that these shared experiences can help Yuki Onna regain her sense of being a human being.
At this moment, the snow girl standing high in the sky seemed to hesitate for a moment, but soon continued to control the ice and snow and devour the soul.
"My descendant, don't make any more useless attempts." After seeing Gu Xu's actions, the white-bearded old man chuckled and said, "Back then I was using the Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique to turn her into a When she was a ghost, I had already left a backhand on her. Her rationality has been completely destroyed by me, and you can't possibly wake her up again.",
