After listening to Luo Xiang's report with his eyes closed, Zhuge Wulong calculated with his fingers and found that the secret here had been completely obscured. Maybe yesterday's action had alarmed the enemy. Now if he wanted to find out something, he had to find another way.
"Take me to a higher place." Zhuge Wulong said lightly.
"yes!"
Coming to a high place and looking down from here, the entire Guobei County area is within sight.
He mobilized the magic power in his body and gathered it in his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, Zhuge Wulong saw countless intersecting fortunes before his eyes.
After carefully analyzing for a long time, Zhuge Wulong's doubts not only did not dissipate, but increased instead.
The luck here is generally not much different from what he noticed when he was in the capital, and the mountain range where Lanruo Temple is located has some extraordinary aura, but it is not exaggerated. Until now, he still can't understand why the divination has pointed to Guobei County and Lanruo Temple many times.
Just when Zhuge Wulong was about to close his magical power of seeing qi, a burst of golden light suddenly surged down from the distant sky, pointing to a location not far from Guobei County.
In addition, after giving instructions, the golden light began to flow in a winding manner and eventually flowed towards Lanruo Temple.
Looking at this result, Zhuge Liang fell silent.
As a world-famous cultivator of qi-observation, he had observed qi more than a hundred times, and similar situations had only occurred twice so far.
The first time was in the capital city, where the light falling from the sky helped him sort out the messy lines of destiny and find the key to the chaos in the government.
The second time is now, and this time the golden light is larger and more obvious than the last time.
Zhuge Wulong understood that this was the will of Heaven. What puzzled him was that before the light of Heaven fell, that location did not seem special to him.
Even in the capital, there is some luck entangled, but it is difficult to distinguish. Unlike here where there is nothing, it is as if all traces are completely covered up by a mysterious force.
"My Lord, it's cold up there, your body..."
Seeing that Zhuge Wulong had no intention of going down, Luo Xiang couldn't help but remind him.
At the same time, he also had a bit of an unclear feeling in his heart, thinking back to the days when Zhuge Liang was in danger of going through fire and water. It was nothing like now, where even ordinary cold would aggravate his injuries. Ultimately, it was all that evil Taoist's fault!
"Wait a little longer. Wait a little longer."
Zhuge Wulong muttered to himself, maintaining his magical powers. He wanted to confirm the information he had collected so far as much as possible, because the chances of them making mistakes were slim.
As the magic power was exhausted, the ability to see qi was automatically eliminated.
Before being lifted, the hints from Heaven did not change or disappear at all.
This is a huge and incredible consumption for the Heavenly Dao, which has been weakened over the years.
It’s like saying, this is the key, don’t be stupid, I’m more anxious than you!
Driven by the will of heaven, Zhuge Liang's determination also became firmer. Judging from the results of astronomy, some of his old friends would pass by here in a few days, and that would be the best time to start great things.
They just had to wait a little longer.
After Zhuge Wulong closed his eyes, Luo Xiang leaned over, carried him on his back, and went down from this cold place.
Zhuge Wulong waited for five days, during which time he paid close attention to the changes in his fortune every day.
The Heavenly Dao is also very cooperative. Although the place it points to changes from time to time, the final gathering place has never changed.
In the afternoon, in a breached mountain stronghold, Precia took off his armor and jumped out of it.
The surface of the armor was covered with cracks, which were traces left by the desperate efforts of the bandits from the three mountain strongholds over the past five days. In addition, the bullets and missiles in the armor had been almost used up, and even the laser launcher was damaged due to overheating.
The combat effectiveness of Tony's spare armor has been reduced to 70% or 80%. Its greatest function now is high-speed movement.
Such excessive use also brought certain benefits to Precia. The red points extinguished over the past few days simply added up to nearly ten thousand, and the balance also slightly turned back by one or two percent.
In addition, in the detector, Precia's detection points have reached more than one hundred, but after reaching a hundred, it becomes more difficult to increase.
This made Precia turn his attention to the terrifying place of 4400+.
But she also understood that the danger level of 4400 was much more terrifying than those three cottages combined.
Taking a deep breath, Precia forced her gaze back.
"Don't rush, don't rush! Everything should be stable!"
"There are still a few hundred years left. We can do it bit by bit. There's still time!"
Just when Precia was restraining his desire, Zen Master Baiyun, who set out from Kunlun Mountain, also entered the territory of Guobei County.
"Master, Master, this place is beautiful with clear water and green mountains. It's a great place!" Monk Shifang ran in front, jumping and skipping.
Every forest has a different flavor in his eyes, and this is also a common way for him to pass the time during his travels.
Zen Master Baiyun looked around and nodded continuously, confirming that it was a good place.
Along the way, he saw many places filled with evil spirits and ghostly auras, and finally he saw a peaceful place.
One can't help but sigh that this is a lucky place.
"Keep going forward. The officials here seem to be virtuous people, otherwise they would not be able to govern this place so well. Let's go to Guobei County to rest for a night today." Zen Master Baiyun nodded.
"That's great! Finally, we don't have to sleep in the wild!" Monk Shifang's face was full of joy. Sleeping in the wild is not only full of mosquitoes, but also makes people feel uncomfortable.
Bang! Zen Master Baiyun used the Zen stick in his hand to gently tap the backpack on Monk Shifang's back.
"Don't be greedy for comfort. Have you forgotten this?"
"Don't dare, hehe."
Zen Master Baiyun shook his head. Shifang had a lively personality and should not have followed the path of an ascetic monk like him. Unfortunately, Baiyun Temple no longer existed and Shifang had no way to go.
After walking forward for a while, the two of them, with their slightly improved speed, soon arrived at Guobei County.
After paying the entrance fee, Zen Master Baiyun discovered a mark, which was Zhuge Wulong's exclusive mark, and there were faint traces of magic power on it.
This made Zen Master Baiyun very happy. Judging from the markings, Zhuge Liang should still be in Guobei County.
Following the signs, the two soon arrived in front of an inn.
Luo Xiang, who had been on alert, immediately spotted these two people who stood out from the crowd. After getting Zhuge Wulong's approval, he took the initiative to go out and welcome the two people to the guest room.
The two old friends had many feelings for each other when they met.
"Master, I am inconvenienced, so I will not be so polite." Zhuge Wulong said while sitting in the armchair and bowing.
Zen Master Baiyun looked down and saw the broken legs.
"This...what on earth happened in the capital city!" Zen Master Baiyun couldn't believe it.
Zhuge Wulong smiled bitterly and said, "Things are much more complicated than I originally thought."
"Shifang, bring out the golden Buddha. I will treat the wound of Zhuge."
As Shifang took out the golden Buddha, the whole room was instantly filled with warm energy.
When Luo Xiang and Shifang went to guard outside the door.
Zhuge Wulong suddenly took action to stop Zen Master Baiyun's actions.
"What can't be left until later? If you don't treat your injury, it may be difficult to recover!" Zen Master Baiyun said with a frown.
"My injury is just a small matter. The Golden Buddha cannot be used now. There are other places where it is more needed." Zhuge Wulong's attitude was extremely firm.
"What do you mean?"
Zhuge Wulong stretched out his hand and waved out a stream of energy, gently pushed open the window, and shook his head to point in the direction of Lanruo Temple.
"What do you see over there?"
Zen Master Baiyun looked intently, but there was peace over there and he could not find anything.
"Haha, old monk, you are really old." Zhuge Wulong said with a smile, "There may be a terrifying monster hiding there! It has devoured a lot of lives."
After hearing this, Zen Master Baiyun looked again, but still found nothing. Instead, he saw a little Buddha's light.
"I have calculated many times recently, and the key to breaking the current impasse is the Lanruo Temple!" Zhuge Wulong became serious.
Having served the country for many years throughout his life, the corruption of the court and the downfall of the world are what he least wants to see. Compared to this, what does life mean in comparison
"Amitabha, I will go there right away."
"No hurry, no hurry. The time has not come yet. We need to wait a little longer." Zhuge Wulong shook his head. "Tonight or tomorrow, other friends will pass by here. We must be absolutely sure!"
Zen Master Baiyun nodded. When it comes to divination, Zhuge Liang is an expert, so it is better to listen to him.
However, the fact that the golden Buddha cannot be used does not mean that Zen Master Baiyun can only sit here.
Sitting cross-legged in front of Zhuge Liang, Zen Master Baiyun placed his left hand on his damaged legs, pinched the rosary with his right hand, and began to chant Buddhist scriptures.
Strands of energy were transmitted into Zhuge Wolong's wound along with the sound of scriptures. The black lines on the wound dissipated bit by bit under the impact of the energy.
After the negative destructive energy was removed, Zhuge Wulong's own repair ability began to take effect, and the magic power in his body quickly healed the wounds.
At this moment, on the other side of Guobei County, a man with a large bag on his back walked into the county town after a simple examination and put on his hat again.
A tragic failure made Zhiqiu Yiye realize the dangers of the outside world and understand how to protect himself.
He entered the county town this time to replenish some dry food. The capital city was still very far away from here, and he also had to go there to help Zhuge Liang who was asking for help.
Passing by the bulletin board, Zhiqiu Yiye pulled down his hat and looked at the wanted poster on it.
After seeing the requirement to capture him alive, he subconsciously touched a square token in his arms. This was the only thing he got after the tragic defeat. It seemed that this thing was really important.
It was so important that a ghost general could mobilize the power of the human world and search the whole country for him. But the fifty taels of reward made Zhiqiu Yiye want to laugh. This ghost general was a little too poor.
After replenishing some dry food, Zhiqiu Yiye found that the other token in his arms was getting hot.
He took out his special token. The token originated from Kunlun Mountain and was flashing with a light that ordinary people could not detect.
"There are fellow disciples here!"
After Zhiqiu Yiye's joy, he input magic power into the token.
A few minutes later, Monk Shifang ran into Zhiqiu Yiye's sight, looking left and right, as if looking for something.
Seeing that it was a monk who came out, Zhiqiu Yiye hesitated a little, but after thinking for a few seconds, he took the initiative to step forward and talk to him.
"My fellow Taoist, may I ask where this token came from?"
Shifang was stunned and looked at Zhiqiu Yiye who was lowering his head. He thought for a moment, "Zhiqiu Yiye?"
After being called out by his nickname, Zhiqiu Yiye grabbed a talisman and said, "Fellow Daoist, you haven't replied to my question yet."
"This was given to my master by Patriarch Yiyuan." Shifang answered very honestly.
"May I ask your name, Master?"
"Zen Master Baiyun."
Zhiqiu Yiye laughed, he knew this righteous elder, Patriarch Yiyuan mentioned it every day, but unfortunately Baiyun Temple fell into disaster so quickly that they were too late to rescue it in time.
"My name is Zhiqiu Yiye. Can you take me to meet Master Baiyun?"
Shifang scratched his head. He didn't feel anything wrong from Zhiqiu Yiye, so he took Zhiqiu Yiye directly to the inn.
After Luo Xiang's preliminary inspection, Zhiqiu Yiye took off his disguise, put down his package, and walked into the inn room.
When he saw Zhuge Wulong, Zhiqiu Yiye was a little surprised, "I have met Master Baiyun and Mr. Zhuge."
Zhuge Wulong noticed at a glance that Zhiqiu Yiye's breath was unstable, "What happened to you on this journey?"
"I encountered a ghost general and got injured." Zhiqiu Yiye smiled bitterly and pulled open his clothes, revealing a mark formed by dense black lines.
Zen Master Baiyun waved his hand and easily wiped out the lines.
"In addition, I picked up a token, which may be an important item." Zhiqiu Yiye took out the token obtained from the ghost general.
Zen Master Baiyun took the token and sensed nothing other than the lingering Yin energy in the token.
Zhuge Wulong, on the other hand, was surprised. After carefully examining it, he looked up and said, "This is the military token of the imperial guards of the capital! It actually fell into the hands of the ghost general! Do you know who the ghost general belongs to?"
Zhiqiu Yiye thought for a long time, "It might be a subordinate of the Black Mountain Old Demon. He once reported his name."
Zhuge Wulong and Zen Master Baiyun looked at each other and both felt the urgency in each other's hearts.
The Taoist demon and the Black Mountain Demon are entangled with each other. This is not good news for the court!
But the two of them are now out of reach and can only hope that the civil and military officials still in the court can hold on a little longer. The military power is fine, but if the control of the national defense formation in the capital also falls into the hands of those guys, the problem may escalate again.
"You should take a rest again. There may be a life-and-death battle in the next few days!" said Zhuge Wulong.
Zhiqiu Yiye nodded and looked at Zen Master Baiyun, "Master, is there anyone from my sect coming here with you?"
Zen Master Baiyun shook his head. "They went to the underworld, hoping to find the source of the underworld's problems."
Zhiqiu Yiye kept silent. He didn't think things would go smoothly. The appearance of the ghost general meant that the Black Mountain Old Demon had control over at least one ghost door!
This shows that the situation in the underworld is already very bad. The only hope is that the Ghost Gate controlled by the Black Mountain Old Demon is a newly discovered boundary point, rather than one directly taken from the underworld.
