"Aw!"
A huge male peacock uttered an ugly cry, unfolded a translucent tail feather without any color, and wandered in the vast and boundless realm of spiritual consciousness.
Gu Yu sat on its back, also tempering his soul.
After a long period of nurturing, the peacock has basically stabilized its body and is no longer in a state of collapse at the touch of a touch. At the same time, its connection with Gu Yu has become closer and closer, almost becoming a companion spirit.
"Journey to the West" says that peacocks are ferocious by nature, and can suck people to eat meat from forty or fifty miles away. One day, they accidentally swallowed the Buddha.
This is the scriptures, the real Buddhist scriptures say this: A peacock can eat poison. After eating poison, not only will it not cause any damage, but it will make its feathers more beautiful.
In any case, peacock food is recognized.
The one that Gu Yu raised was an extremely powerful soul beast before, but now it keeps its data and restarts, its aptitude is still there, its temperament is unruly, and it also likes to eat. Well, no less than Fat Brother.
Its cultivation base is progressing rapidly, and it is a very good helper, but it is a pity that it cannot be transformed into a real body, otherwise Lao Gu really wants to put it under his crotch and become a chicken blowing flute.
Now, he can only relax in the domain space.
Gu Yu was cultivating with his eyes closed, when he suddenly felt something, he immediately escaped from the domain and grabbed the void. With a flash of golden light, a messenger talisman appeared in his palm, but it was Long Qiu.
She briefly talked about Magnolia Pearl's visit without explaining too much. In the past, she would not have made decisions by herself, and would have asked her elder brothers and sisters for instructions first.
"..."
After watching, Lao Gu fell silent, guessing the motive and purpose of Magnolia Pearl.
To be honest, shamanism is in a very awkward position. The Northwest, Mobei, and Monan dioceses were all destroyed, leaving only one outside the pass. The territory of Magnolia Pearl is mainly in Wula Province, which is a small corner, and the enclosure is self-satisfied.
It would be quite satisfying if she was not aggressive, but she was certainly not an ordinary woman.
Now entering the 2.0 era, innateness will soon be everywhere, and immortality is the guarantee of one side. Most of Yulanzhu's dark background in the government has been wiped out, her financial resources have plummeted, her talents are scarce, and she has been suppressed by her neighbors in a bitterly cold place.
More importantly, they have too little high-end combat power, and whether they survive or not depends entirely on the mood of their neighbors.
The prospect is just four words, it's getting colder.
She voluntarily abandoned her foundation and took refuge in Phoenix Mountain. Was she trying to hug her thigh? But why did you choose to hug your thigh suddenly at this time
Gu Yu pondered for a while, but still felt that he should ask in person. He originally wanted to go there by himself, but paused, and summoned the peacock from the profound orifice.
"You go for me."
He waved his hand to plant a divine thought, and the peacock croaked and turned into a stream of light and went away, not much slower than the sword qi turning into a rainbow.
…
Province of Urla.
The maple leaves are fiery red, the forest is dyed, the white clothes are like snow, and the beauty is like a dream.
Yulan Zhu was playing with Nalan in the maple forest with her feet bare, when she suddenly felt her spirit throbbing. Ripples spread out in the void like the surface of water, followed by a huge peacock manifesting in front of it.
This peacock is not an entity, but the power of the soul is pure and powerful, carrying the natural coercion of a high-level life. Its colorless eyes glanced between the two of them, without opening a mouth, only a clear voice came out: "Magnolia beads?"
"Who are you… "
Yulan Zhu's heart skipped a beat, and she blurted out: "Really Gu!"
Peacock was acquiesced, and said: "I already know about the Jade Bone Pill Book, I came to ask you, why did you vote for me?"
Facing Xiao Jin, Long Qiu, and Gu Yu, this woman's attitude is completely different.
She answered without hesitation, "There are two reasons for this. One is that I really need the alchemy to prove the immortal position. The other is that I did a divination not long ago and found that there is still a catastrophe in the world. I want to find a shelter land."
oh
Peacock was taken aback. Shamanism originated from ancient witchcraft. Dream interpretation, divination, weather forecasting, communication with ghosts and gods, etc. are the most basic abilities.
He also became curious and asked, "What hexagram did you take up?"
"My realm is not enough, and the hexagrams are chaotic and unclear. I only glimpsed a glimmer of revelation, and within ten years there will be calamity."
"..."
The peacock hangs in the air with an unknown expression. Magnolia Pearl is better, Nalan's realm is lower than her, and he is already trembling.
After a while, Peacock Fang nodded and said: "Okay, I agree to this matter, but if you want to enter my mountain gate, you must abide by a few conditions."
"You speak."
"Withdraw all the dark lines you set up in the government. Those who perpetrate crimes, those who speculate and stand in line, and those who are dishonest, will all be cleaned up."
"yes!"
"How many people practice the method of beast spirits?"
"There are many, but only the two of us are expected to be certified as immortals."
"Okay, except you two, the rest of the people will abolish their cultivation, and those who pass the test can learn my way."
"yes!"
"You are not allowed to enter the mountain easily, and you are still in charge in Wula Province. I will send the manpower there, and I will definitely protect you."
"yes!"
With the third answer, the peacock glanced at them and disappeared.
After he left completely, Yulanzhu and Nalan looked at each other with wry smiles, showing a subtle sense of relief.
…
The ancient state of Fuyu was the first minority government outside the customs. It took about 700 years from the founding of the state to the destruction of the state by Goguryeo.
Its ancestors were the Huiyan people, and there were two royal cities in total, one in Huicheng and the other in Huanglong. That's right, it was the place where Yue Wumu directly attacked Huanglong.
This used to be a fairly large county seat, but now the population has dropped sharply, surrounded by wetlands on three sides, leaving only one exit. Industry and agriculture can't develop, relying on external relief, only some old people are left here to linger.
When Long Qiu rushed to the outskirts of Huanglong, he found that besides Yulanzhu, there was also a woman with a cold face and a good figure, who was slightly younger.
"This is Nalan Shu, my best friend, you can call her Hua Shuzi."
After the introduction of Magnolia Pearl, Nalan Shu stepped forward to salute, "I have seen Fairy Qiu."
"Um."
Long Qiu nodded.
So the three of them headed east together, seeing wet and rotten ground everywhere, black grass overgrown, water flies jumping around, and no crops could grow at all.
Yulanzhu said as she walked: "It's also the blessing of the Gnostics. If it wasn't for the fluctuation of the soul power last time, I wouldn't have found that altar. Before the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shamans were said to be able to connect the two worlds, control ghosts and gods, and have magical powers. Beasts The path of spirit was only researched after the Eastern Han Dynasty."
Every family has the Jade Bone Pill Book, with different names, and it is exclusively used by the great shaman. The alchemy book of my lineage has been lost, and after many searches, I found out that there may still be one left in the altar.
"During the Western Jin Dynasty, Fuyu was destroyed by Xianbei, King Fuyu moved his capital here, and was later invaded by Goguryeo and completely destroyed. If my prediction is correct, the altar should be built by the last king, King Yuwei, in order to reverse the fate of the country. , Survive from death, but unfortunately did not succeed."
That place is not close, within the footsteps of three people, they arrived in a few words.
It is still a plain wilderness, densely covered with river ponds, and narrow and winding streams flow between the tidal flats, forming an irregular grid.
It was already evening, and the faint yellow setting sun in the distant sky slanted on a hill not far away—that was the only protruding place.
The three arrived recently, and Long Qiu found a depression in front of the hill, which looked like an excavated archaeological site, so he asked, "Is this a tomb?"
"It was excavated more than ten years ago, and it was said to be the tomb of Fuyu nobles. But the last earthquake broke the restriction, and another tomb group appeared underground. The altar may be in the center of the tomb group."
"Maybe? You used an affirmative tone last time." Long Qiu frowned.
"Hey, you have seen through your thoughts, so don't tease others."
Magnolia Zhu really liked each other, couldn't help holding hands again, and was thrown away without any surprise.
Nalan Shu rolled her eyes and said, "It's getting late, let's go down first."
After the words fell, I saw white smoke on the ground, and the girl's figure shrank rapidly, turning into a little hedgehog. The hedgehog waved its paws, grumbled and dug a shallow hole, followed by a slither, and the whole thing got into the ground.
"..."
Long Qiu blinked, feeling that the door to a new world had opened.
It looks like a lot of fun! One is a fox, one is a hedgehog, and then there are snakes, mice, and weasels... well, well, forget about weasels.
Little fairies don't fart!
But Yulan Zhu stood still, looked at the other party, and said with a smile: "Please, I am good at illusion, but I can't drill holes in the ground."
"Um."
Long Qiu grabbed her arm, directly cast the earth movement technique, and sank instantly.
Yulanzhu felt her eyes go dark, and in a moment, her feet fell to the ground, and she was already in the tomb passage. The little hedgehog also shook the dust, and turned into a big beauty again.
This tomb passage is very narrow, only one person can pass through, and the ceiling is not high, so it is barely possible to walk straight.
All three of them can see at night, and Yulanzhu took out a leather map and said, "We have checked several times before, and the general location is not bad, let's go."
Long Qiu followed the footsteps, but seeing Nalan Shu didn't move, he asked, "Isn't she coming?"
"She is weak, so it's better to stay behind."
So the two walked forward along the long tomb passage. Magnolia Zhu held the map in his hands, and walked slowly, and said softly: "There is a stone gate in front, and several ambushes have been broken. There is a tomb first, with roads on three sides. Each is connected to a small group of tombs. I roughly calculated that there are at least a hundred people buried here, and I am afraid that the last nobles in Buyeo are all here."
Long Qiu paused, and couldn't help but said: "Actually, you don't need to take the picture. My spiritual sense can give you a complete picture. The core area of the tomb is probably under the hill, and there is indeed an altar in the center."
"You are an immortal, but we are not. Isn't this a preparation for fear of your refusal?"
Yulanzhu pursed her lips and chuckled, put away the map, "Okay, trust you!"
Tsk!
Xiaoqiu always feels weird, but I am a straight person!
"rustle!"
"rustle!"
The tomb passage is dark and dark, and you can't see your fingers. Magnolia Pearl was in front, and Long Qiu was behind, neither of them spoke, only listening to the crunching sound of the soles of their shoes stepping on the dusty ground.
After walking for a while, I saw a stone door in front of me, which showed signs of opening. After entering, there is a tomb inside, with a small coffin parked in the middle, and there are burnt black marks on the stone wall.
There are also three stone gates, standing on the south, west and north sides.
"There is a mummified corpse in the coffin. It should be a seven or eight-year-old boy. It is well preserved, but the handling method is a bit weird. Would you like to see it?"
Yulanzhu asked with her mouth, but she was not polite with her hands, and pushed open the coffin lid.
