It was four days after they left that everyone gathered on the bank of the Minjiang River again. Mu Kun is still guarding here, guarding the invisible mountain, and his dedication to duty is impeccable.
"How's it going, are you all collected?" Seeing a few people coming back, he asked quickly.
"Do your best to obey the destiny."
Gu Yu didn't talk nonsense, and said to the two younger sisters: "There is a phantom array test inside, you wait outside for now, we will go back as soon as we go."
After all, he and Lu Yuanqing jumped onto the river in a blink of an eye. Shen Maojiang and Magic Array are spells that operate on their own, and Wu Shan's operating authority is very low, so he followed the gourd and passed through them sequentially like last time.
"..."
Long Qiu and Xiao Jin looked at each other, how could they obediently stay behind, they also flew over and followed closely behind. Gu Yu was at the front, feeling something was wrong, turned his head to look and was shocked: "Don't mess around, come back quickly..."
He was too fast, and before he could finish speaking, he was sucked into the mountain.
A moment later, when he reappeared in the stone room, he saw Lu Yuanqing, Shi Yunlai and Bai Yunsheng appear one after another, with a gloomy expression on his face.
MMP! What is this called
The two little ones couldn't help worrying, they had to follow along even though they were told that there was a phantom formation inside. Xiao Zhai hasn't come out yet, if you two go in again, I'll wash my hands and go sell oranges directly, what kind of fairy are you still cultivating!
"Don't worry, the two little laymen are very good-natured, so they may not be able to trap them." Lu Yuanqing comforted.
"How can I not worry, in case they..."
"Yo, is this the end?"
Gu Yu pursed his lips, and was immediately turned back. He looked at Xiao Jin who suddenly appeared in a daze, and after a few seconds, Xiao Qiu also showed his figure.
The two girls looked left and right, feeling very fresh, and ran over and said: "Brother/brother-in-law, this is the phantom formation you mentioned, sister is trapped by this thing? It shouldn't be!"
"..."
Including Lu Yuanqing and the others, Qiqi was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
The essence of this illusion comes from the obsession and obsession in your heart. The smaller the obsession, the easier it is to break the formation. Judging from this, the two little lay monks are really innocent and heartless.
"call!"
At this moment, the flames sprang up, and the green light came on again, and a voice came from it: "It's faster than I expected, huh? There are two more little guys with good qualifications."
"Senior Wu, we tried our best to collect and only found these, please have a look."
After saying that, a few people waved their sleeves, and a lot of things were piled up on the ground. There were four items in total, and there were at least two options for each item.
The blue light suddenly lit up, and it seemed to be very excited, but it swept over the item, and said in a delicate tone: "Is the outside declining to such a level? This is too shabby."
"Senior..."
Gu Yu had no choice but to explain one by one: "This is the secretion left by the blood worm drilling the grass, which contains a lot of blood energy. This is refined from the scorpion plant halfway up the mountain, and this is the fruit of the scorpion plant. This is produced in southern Yunnan. Wen Yu, one of the best pieces; this is the blood jade of the Han Dynasty, which has the effect of balancing yin and yang."
After he finished speaking, Lu Yuanqing also said: "Decades ago, the Heavenly Master's Mansion was divided into two families, and it was not long ago that it was reunified. This Fang Qianyang seal was left over from overseas, and we only retrieved it at the beginning of the year. There is also this Jingyang Stone, The relics passed down from Baiyun Temple, and this one, a hundred-year-old blood talisman preserved in Maoshan... Senior, the world has changed for more than ten years, and there are not many resources, no more than in ancient times, we can only find these."
After hearing this, Wu Shan knew that they had tried their best, but he was a little embarrassed, and at the same time lamented, saying:
"Don't blame yourself, you don't have to worry about it. The Fang Ganyang seal can be used, the rong fruit can be used, the blood jade can also be used, and the tree root and blood talisman can be combined. I originally wanted to remove all the spirits, but after Refining these things can only achieve 70% to 80% of the effect. Forget it, I will keep a wisp of the soul here and summon it later, it will be more convenient."
Divide the soul
Gu Yu's heart moved, Wu Shan is the peak of human immortality, and he is still trying to attack the gods, so he must have an understanding of the mysteries of the fairyland. What I lack is the magic of the soul. In theory, the method of eating qi can be cultivated all the way to the earth immortal, but there is a completely different thing between having the teacher's guidance and not having the teacher's guidance.
"Senior, shall we refine the body now?" he asked.
"I don't care. You and I work together. It doesn't take long to refine, but I will definitely wear out, and my soul will move out. If I have no control over the Great Court, I will sink to the bottom of the river immediately. I'm afraid your Taoist partner..."
Wu Shan paused, and said: "Why don't we wait a few more days, I will do my best, if she is about to fail, and she hasn't come out yet, we can refine the body, how about it?"
"How can this be done? My sister won't come out, what should we do? Is she trapped inside?" Xiao Jin naturally quit, and Xiao Qiu was also very flustered.
Gu Yu stopped them, stared at the blue light for a while, and said, "Okay, let's go out first!"
"Brother/brother-in-law!"
"Walk!"
…
At night, the flying mirror hangs high.
The cold moonlight reflected the surface of the river, and the water rippled, swaying layers of silver light and white. There is a moon shadow in the river, and the moon in the water corresponds to the moon in the sky, as if opening up the two ends of time and space, spanning thousands of years from ancient to modern.
Gu Yu was sitting on the bank, facing the green and ancient Minjiang River, illusory and hazy, as if blending into the night.
After coming out of Lushan, he has been sitting like this for two days.
Mu Kun, Lu Yuanqing and others were talking in the distance, and they didn't care too much. They had nothing to do with Xiaozhai, but with Phoenix Mountain in between, it's not good to be too straightforward, and it doesn't hurt to wait a few more days.
Long Qiu and Xiao Jin were really anxious, standing on the short hill and watching.
"What should I do? My sister will never come out for the rest of my life, and my brother will become a husband-wife stone."
"Fart's husband-watching stone, that's called Mrs. Wang's stone."
"Oh, what time is it, do you still have the mood to joke?"
"Didn't you say it first..."
Seeing Long Qiu's face hardened, Xiao Jin hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'm not joking, I have confidence in my sister."
"I'm confident too, but I'm still worried!"
"We are different, I really have confidence, you don't understand!"
Xiao Jin was inexplicably silent for a moment, then returned to normal, and said with a smile, "Hey, what are you looking at in the phantom formation?"
"I, I didn't look at it!" Long Qiu heard the question, and somehow thought of something, his little face flushed suddenly.
"Why did you look like a quail without looking at you?"
Xiao Jin pursed her lips and said, "We all know how careful you are, you must have watched your brother-in-law!"
"No, I didn't, I didn't…"
Long Qiu waved his hands quickly, but his voice became smaller and smaller.
"Okay, I understand. You grew up in the mountains, and no one treated you well. It was so easy to meet a strong man who rescued you like a god descended from the earth. It is inevitable that you have a secret heart. But I am surprised, are you How did you get out? You killed your brother-in-law?"
"..."
Long Qiu pursed his lips and nodded unexpectedly: "Yes!"
Fuck!
Seeing that the other party was stunned, as if he had seen a devil's virtue, she quickly explained: "I knew it was fake the moment I saw it, so my brother wouldn't treat me, touch me..."
puff!
Xiao Jin squirted immediately, pointed at her, and then pointed at the shore, choked up speechlessly.
Long Qiu felt that he had exposed too much, so he changed the subject in embarrassment, and asked, "What about you, what are you looking at?"
"I looked at my sister."
"Ah? Then how did you get out?"
"..."
Xiao Jin was silent again, and said for a while; "I always thought that my goal was to surpass her, but later I felt that I just wanted her to praise me. But inside, I suddenly realized that my goal was not her, but I put myself too small. I am not surpassing her, but surpassing myself... "
"I don't understand." Long Qiu shook his head.
"I don't expect you to understand!"
Xiao Jin poked her on the forehead, then raised her eyes to look at the pitch-black holy mountain, sister, what are you doing in there
…
"boom!"
A white, tender and slender palm was imprinted on a wooden stake without haste. The moment the palm was pressed against it, force was spit out, like a heavy hammer, and there was a muffled sound.
Immediately afterwards, the palm was slightly curved, shaped like a bird's beak, and he pecked again.
Then the third blow turned into a fist and hit the pile with a bang.
The wooden stake, which was as thick as a man's thigh, didn't shake. It took about two seconds before it split from the inside, and quickly collapsed to the outside, smashing into pieces on the ground.
Xiao Zhai turned around, sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, wiped his sweat, and played with the white snake again.
"Hiss!"
This snake is more than one foot long, white as beautiful jade, but its eyes are blood red, like two rubies inlaid in them, exuding a crystal clear sense of comfort.
It gently rubbed against her palm with a very intimate expression.
"Squeak!"
The door suddenly opened, and a woman came out with food.
The age and temperament of this woman are very subtle. She has the charm of Rulan in her thirties and the agility of her teens. The maturity and delicateness are perfectly blended together, giving birth to an irresistible charm. magical charm.
She is tall and tall, similar to Xiao Zhai, and said slowly: "Your skill has reached the realm of perfection, it has already surpassed mine."
"You taught me well, let me..."
Xiao Zhai took the tray and put it on the stone table, and the two of them sat in the courtyard. The meal is very simple, two bowls of white rice, one plate of fried vegetables, one plate of cold wild vegetables, added some vinegar and a few drops of sesame oil, refreshing and delicious.
She picked a wild vegetable and chewed it carefully, but her eyes flickered and wandered, as if feeling restless.
"What's wrong with you, what's on your mind?" the woman asked.
"No!"
"You can't hide it from me, so let's hear it." The woman smiled lightly, like a spring breeze blowing, and the mountain flowers were blooming.
Xiao Zhai didn't dare to look at him, he didn't have his usual domineering look at all, but showed a girl-like posture. She paused for a moment, then carefully called out: "Master..."
"Um?"
"How long have I been back?"
"The trees in the yard have turned green and yellow for about four months."
The woman blinked and asked with a smile, "Do you want to leave?"
"I, I don't know." She shook her head slightly.
"Hey, here is your peace of mind, why do you want to leave?"
The woman leaned forward slightly, as if she had seen through the other party, with a great sense of tenderness and oppression, she said: "It's windy and rainy outside, so it's not good to stay here? Besides, I'm alone, and you can accompany me."
"Accompany you?"
Xiao Zhai's eyes drooped, his eyelashes trembled, he couldn't see his expression clearly, he just murmured: "Be with you, be with you..."
She originally seemed very hesitant, anxious, and at a loss, but at this moment she suddenly smiled, raised her eyes and said, "Master, you wouldn't tell me to let me stay with you."
"You rarely smile at me either."
"You are like the moon in the sky, always like that, and I am always chasing after you."
"..."
The woman's smile was a little stiff, as if she had programmed a perfect expression, she froze for a moment, as if she was not prepared for this situation.
"Four months, four months..."
Xiao Zhai continued to mutter, put down the bowl and chopsticks unconsciously, and looked at the woman in front of him.
"Master, I have followed you since I was seven years old, at the foot of Changbai Mountain.
I was not like other children in my childhood. I didn’t have beautiful dolls, beautiful clothes, parents’ love, and friends. I was always the one who was rejected in school.
But I know, I know how vast the world is, I know how bloody and ferocious the rivers and lakes are, I know the gods and Buddhas who have been immortal for thousands of years, and I know how wonderful they will never understand.
So I don't feel lonely. You took me through this door and saw the wandering world. I thought I could go on like this for the rest of my life, but you left.
You didn't look back that day, I was chasing after you, you wouldn't know how scared I was. I am afraid that the universe is vast and the eternal life is splendid, but I am alone.
I thought that I would die alone, but fortunately I was lucky, I met him again.
Master, you gave me a dream, but I can't see the edge of the dream. I have imagined a reunion countless times, but now, it can only be like this... "
Xiao Zhai got up, stood at the gate of the courtyard, bent his knees, fell to his knees with a plop, and kowtowed three times.
"Farewell today, I won't see you in this life."
…
It's the third day.
Gu Yu was always sitting by the river, not moving.
Lu Yuanqing couldn't help becoming worried. According to their estimates, Wu Shanding would last about eight or nine days at most. If the time limit is up and Jushi Jiang hasn't come out yet, with the deep love between the two saints of Phoenix Mountain, something may happen.
He was about to talk to Mu Kun about whether he should make some preparations, and then he heard "buzz buzz!"
"Buzz!"
A strange vibration came from the mountain, and several monks could clearly hear it.
Gu Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his figure flickered, and he had already entered the sacred mountain. The others also reacted and quickly followed.
"Senior, how are you doing?"
"I'm going to the limit, at most until the morning of the next day." Wu Shan said concisely.
brush!
The eyes of the five people were all focused on one person. Up to this moment, the goals of both parties were instantly clear: Phoenix Mountain must first protect Xiaozhai, but the Taoist Academy wants Wu Shan to come out.
Now, whether Xiao Zhai is safe or not, no one can do anything. Gu Yu is also aware of this, but the Taoist Academy is afraid that he will directly attack Wu Shan in a fit of anger, making himself lose everything.
Although his strength is weak, he still has Long Qiu and Xiao Jin to help him.
"How long does it take to refine the body?" He asked.
"At least one day."
"What about transferring the soul?"
"It wouldn't take too long, but after I moved my soul, this place sank in an instant, and I had to leave immediately."
"Wait another half day." Gu Yu said.
call! Lu Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately he did not lose his mind.
Immediately, the six people sat and waited in the stone room, Long Qiu was restless, and Xiao Jin was still full of confidence.
Time passed quickly, it was already dark outside, and it was late at night. The green light flickered, and seemed a little anxious, reminding: "The time limit is up, if you don't act, it will be too late."
"..."
Gu Yu pursed his lips, his eyes were dark, and finally nodded: "Then refine it first."
"Brother-in-law!"
"elder brother!"
"Okay, let's get started!"
With a wave of his hand, he blocked the two small ones, and then lifted them up with the transport technique, floating the materials in the air.
The green lantern suddenly blazed brightly, and a powerful spiritual force wrapped the material tightly, and shouted: "You just need to bless the mana!"
Gu Yu didn't say a word, but frantically mobilized his spiritual power. The spiritual power combined with the power of the soul, and instantly increased several times, almost turning into a bluish-white illusory light, shining dazzlingly in the room.
How great is the power of the two immortals joining forces
Impurities were quickly removed from those materials, and the essence was retained. The yang energy of dry yang seals and essence yang stones, the yin energy of rongrong fruit and rongrong flowers, and the qi and blood of blood roots and blood talismans were used in both places. Under the harmony of a piece of precious jade, a little bit of fusion and penetration reached a delicate balance.
This refining took another whole day.
In the middle of the next night, Gu Yu felt that the object was complete, so he withdrew back.
boom!
There was a slight tremor in the air, and the blue light also faded away, leaving behind a three-inch-high wine glass with an ancient style floating in the air, yang and yin, revealing a sense of mellowness.
"It's done?" Lu Yuanqing asked anxiously.
"Fortunately, it's about the same as I expected. It can barely accommodate most of my soul."
Wu Shan's breath was also much weaker, and he said: "It will be dawn in another hour, and I will not be able to save the mountain when it sinks into the water. Your Taoist companion should be like this. Don't be too sad if you miss the immortal journey."
As the words fell, the blue light flashed, and a dark red, human-shaped phantom appeared, slowly poking into the wine cup.
This is exactly what a human soul looks like!
"Brother! What should I do? What should I do?" Long Qiu was going crazy, and Xiao Jin also panicked.
"it's okay no problem."
Gu Yu was very calm on the contrary, and said with a smile: "There is also spiritual energy in this sacred mountain, and it doesn't matter if it sinks into the bottom of the river. I might as well stay and practice, hide and be quiet, and wait for you to be promoted to immortals and find some spiritual treasure, and then fish it out that is."
He said it calmly, as if joking. Lu Yuanqing and the others opened their eyes wide, unbelievable and unable to understand at all. Long Qiu even covered his little face, already crying too much.
"I'm not dead yet, what kind of love are you fanning?"
boom!
At this moment, from nowhere, there was a loud noise, and a red and purple divine thunder split through many obstacles and flew into the stone room in an instant.
"elder sister!"
"elder sister!"
Long Qiu and Xiao Jin exclaimed in unison, and rushed over. Lu Yuanqing and the others were taken aback, their minds turned so quickly that they were a little numb.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine."
Xiao Zhai patted the two younger sisters, their demeanor was far from what it used to be, as if they had lost the worldly entanglement and added a clear nature, so that they were cold and cold, and they dared not approach easily.
And she walked up to Gu Yu, took a few glances, her eyes were like stars, and then suddenly smiled, "Thank you!"
