An idea came to Gu Fuyou and he immediately took action.
She put away the storage bag, wrapped the picked herbs and flowers in her outer shirt, tied them into a bundle, put it on her back, picked up Ah Fu, and walked to the front of the yard first.
Standing in front of the fence, she called out, "Senior Sister Zhong, Senior Sister Zhong."
Although it was still daylight that day, Gu Fuyou estimated that it had been twelve hours, which meant he had been outside for a whole day and a night.
After yelling several times, the woman came out and heard him. She raised her eyebrows and shouted, "What are you yelling about!"
He extended the staff over the fence and stabbed Gu Fuyou, pushing her away: "Stay away from my yard."
Gu Fuyou: “…”
Gu Fuyou asked, "Where is my senior sister?"
"I'm taking a break." After that, he ignored Fuyou and walked to the corridor with his staff, muttering, "Humans are always noisy."
The woman went to take care of the magical flowers and herbs in the yard. When Gu Fuyou saw her, he immediately turned around and left, pretending to be strolling around, but quietly slipped to the back of the yard.
The fence behind this courtyard is different from the one in front. It is a row of earthen walls, covered with ivy and some unknown flowers, which is particularly elegant.
When Gu Fuyou walked in, he found that he could not get close to the courtyard wall. No matter how long he walked, he was always five steps away from the wall.
She looked around and found that there was a ghost wall formation behind the yard.
The arrangement of this formation was exquisite. Gu Fuyou was delighted and concentrated on solving the formation. When he solved it, he felt refreshed and had a great sense of accomplishment.
He ran happily to the courtyard wall, used the corner of the wall to gain leverage, flew up, and landed steadily on the top of the wall.
When you look inside, the scene is completely different from what you see from the outside.
The backyard is very spacious, with a green forest, various exotic trees and a thin mist.
The person she was looking for happened to be in the backyard.
She was sitting on the twisted roots of an old tree, with her back against the trunk and her eyes closed, as if she was asleep. A canary was perched on the palm of her open hand, tilting its head to look at her. The light from the green leaves fell on her like satin.
Like a dream, the people in the painting.
Zhong Michu let her hair down, her long hair was like ink, splashing on her shoulders.
Gu Fuyou saw that there seemed to be something in Zhong Michu's hair, but he couldn't see it clearly. He couldn't help but want to get closer, but he forgot that he was still on the wall. He leaned forward, cried out, and fell off the wall.
I fell and rolled over, lying on the ground. I had a bag on my back, so it didn't hurt.
Before he could stand up, a shadow moved in and blocked the light above his head.
It was Zhong Michu who came over. She had tied her hair up, still neatly. She stood beside Gu Fuyou and looked down at her: "What are you doing?"
Gu Fuyou glanced at the top of Zhong Michu's head, but saw nothing. He thought he had seen it wrong, so he turned over and got up, kneeling on the ground and asked, "Senior Sister Zhong, did that man do anything to you?"
She could have summoned Zhong Mi Chu out directly, but she was worried that the man was really healing Zhong Mi Chu, and that her summoning might backfire, so she came to see for herself.
Zhong Michu shook his head: "Senior is not embarrassed."
"She didn't allow you to come in. You came in quietly now. I'm afraid she will blame you. You'd better leave first. I'm done. I'll go say goodbye to the senior and leave with you."
"Okay." Gu Fuyou stood up. She felt relieved that Zhong Michu was fine. She kept many things in her heart and planned to talk to Zhong Michu after he left.
She was about to climb over the wall again when she heard a voice: "You are so brave, you dare to break into my yard without permission, you are looking for death and you came to me."
Gu Fuyou's heart skipped a beat, and when he looked back, his whole body hair stood on end.
The woman who was tending to the flowers and plants in the front yard came over at some point and looked at Gu Fuyou coldly from a distance.
Gu Fuyou said with a guilty conscience: "Senior..."
The woman glanced over the courtyard wall and said with an ambiguous smile, "Little girl, you have some skills. Did you break the formation?"
Zhong Michu took a step forward and stood in front of Gu Fuyou: "Please forgive me, Senior. I have been waiting outside for a long time and I was worried about my safety. That is why I did not know the etiquette and barged in here."
“You should protect her.” The woman’s eyes moved between the two of them, and stayed on Gu Fuyou for a moment. She snorted coldly, threw a crystal stone at him, and said, “Get out, don’t stand here and get in my way.”
Zhong Michu took it and said, "Thank you, senior."
Gu Fuyou felt as if he had been pardoned, and quickly said, "Thank you very much for your forgiveness, senior."
The woman had a strange temper, and the two men were afraid that if they stayed any longer, they would make her unhappy, so they went out through the back door.
Zhong Michu turned around and bowed to the woman. Gu Fuyou followed suit and bowed, saying, "I am sorry to bother you for a day. Thank you for your care. I will say goodbye today. Thank you for your help..."
"Go! Go!" the woman said impatiently, "As expected, the human race is very annoying."
Gu Fuyou: “…”
As they moved farther away from the yard until they could no longer see her, Gu Fuyou breathed a sigh of relief and stretched his body. He no longer felt any pressure from facing the woman and his steps became much lighter.
She showed the bundle to Zhong Michu, smiling from ear to ear: "Senior sister, I found many spiritual plants in an old forest, all of them are rare and above, which can be regarded as making up for the dangers I suffered after falling into the inner layer. At least this trip is not too bad. After we get out, if Si Miao refines the pill, I will give you half."
"Ah, there's more!" Gu Fuyou suddenly remembered and took out a handkerchief from her bosom. When she opened it, she saw a soft snow-white bead. She handed it to Zhong Michu and said, "Senior Sister Zhong, this is the treasure used to suppress the formation in the Ruizhu Palace. It is an ice-attributed treasure. You have water spirit roots, so this thing is very compatible with you. Take it and absorb it. Your cultivation will definitely reach a higher level."
Zhong Michu said: "You worked hard to get this, so keep it for yourself."
Gu Fuyou stuffed it into her hand and returned it to her along with the handkerchief. She smiled and said, "We are training together, so naturally all the benefits cannot be taken by me alone. I have the inner elixir of the Wind Beast. This is for you. One for you and one for me. It's just right."
Zhong Michu wanted to refuse again, but Gu Fuyou ran away, holding Ah Fu in his arms, looking back and smiling: "Give it back to me, I won't take it. If you don't want it, just throw it on the ground."
Zhong Michu then put it away and said, "Thank you very much for your kindness."
"Senior Sister Zhong, please don't be so polite to me." They were able to share weal and woe, life and death. Gu Fuyou also said many of his deepest words to Zhong Michu in the cave. He had already regarded her as a relative and friend, so he didn't like her false courtesy and felt that it was too distant.
Gu Fuyou asked, "Senior Sister, how is your injury?"
Zhong Michu was silent for a moment. Gu Fuyou, who was walking in front, did not get a response, so he turned around to look at her.
Zhong Michu said softly: "Sure, it's okay..."
She handed the crystal to Gu Fuyou and changed the subject, saying, "The senior heard that we were looking for the inner center and told us that the mountain where we came from was this. She should have known what we were going to do, so she gave us this crystal."
The fairy world generally uses spirit stones as trading currency, because spirit stones contain spiritual power that can provide spiritual power for various actions such as cultivation, refining, alchemy, forming formations, etc., and have a wide range of uses.
The result of compressing spirit stones to their limit is a crystal. Usually, tens of thousands of spirit stones are needed to produce a crystal, so the spiritual power contained in the crystal is enormous.
It can be used to supply the spiritual power needed for the "Feng Shui Transformation" formation.
Gu Fuyou took it in his hand and said, "How could this senior be willing to help so much for no reason?"
This blue phoenix was very arrogant. Of course, this was a common problem among the blue phoenix clan. This blue phoenix was very strange and moody. It didn't look easy to get along with. But when they met by chance, it was willing to take the trouble to treat Zhong Michu's injuries. It was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. It didn't mind her sneaking into the courtyard and even gave her a crystal stone to help them get out.
Could it be that Qingluan is not to be judged by appearance? In fact, although Qingluan speaks harshly, she is very kind and gentle at heart.
Zhong Michu said: "The senior only said... that she had some friendship with my ancestors, so she helped me, but she didn't say anything else."
Gu Fuyou smiled and said, "So there is a reason for this, all thanks to Senior Sister Zhong."
Gu Fuyou knew that Zhong Michu's mother was Yun Ran Xuan Zun, and both of them were extremely talented. With such a descendant, their ancestors must have been quite good. Since they were powerful, it was not impossible for them to have a relationship with Qing Luan. Therefore, although she was curious, she did not think much about it.
The two men left the woman's territory and headed straight for the strange mountain along the same route they came.
There were no spirit beasts to disturb them on the way, and they arrived safely. They walked past the stone statues of spirit beasts and headed up the mountain. They still felt palpitations, and they felt better after jumping over the mountainside. They climbed all the way to the top of the mountain.
Gu Fuyou began to set up the formation. Once the formation was established, he only needed to throw the crystal stone into the eye of the formation and the formation would be activated.
Although the crystal stone has a lot of spiritual power, it can only last for a moment when used in a Feng Shui formation.
Gu Fuyou and Zhong Michu were already standing in the formation. Now, by throwing the crystal stone, they could bid farewell to this dangerous place.
Gu Fuyou looked into the distance. They could not feel the changing of the four seasons in Xianluo, but if they calculated carefully, it should have been more than three months in the outside world. Now they were finally able to escape from danger. Thinking back on the many ups and downs they had experienced along the way, they could not help but sigh with emotion.
Zhong Michu called her and said, "Gu Fuyou?"
Gu Fuyou came back to his senses and asked, "Is Senior Sister Zhong ready?"
Zhong Michu nodded. Gu Fuyou held Ah Fu tightly and threw the crystal stone into the center of the formation. At first, there was no change. After three breaths, the wind and clouds changed. A light hole appeared out of thin air under their feet. Under the hole was the grassland of the Linghua Wilderness.
The two men fell from the void and just stood firm. They looked back at the door opened in the inner layer, but found that the door had been closed. After three breaths, it reappeared in the air in front of them.
It turns out that in Xianluo, the inner and outer layers are thousands of miles apart, but in the outside world they are only a few steps away.
"It's out!" Gu Fuyou cheered and lifted Ah Fu up, but suddenly he felt that he couldn't bear its weight.
Ah Fu grew up so fast. Not long after he was born, he became fatter and his gray and white fur gradually hardened and darkened in color. He no longer looked as thin as he was when he was born.
Zhong Michu stood aside and looked at her, silent.
Gu Fuyou was happy for a short while before he remembered that Gu Huaiyou and Si Miao were trapped in the mouth of Ksitigarbha and their safety was unknown. Although Gu Fuyou believed in their abilities and means of self-protection and would never sit and wait for death, he was afraid that even though they could protect themselves, they would not be able to escape. Therefore, he was not at ease and still planned to go into Xianluo again to look for Ksitigarbha.
The Xianluo Gate turned upside down for a moment and then returned to its original position. I went in again and was still on the outermost layer.
Gu Fuyou thought that since he didn't have the spirit stones on him this time, he would not accidentally enter the inner layer like last time. If Zhong Michu was by his side, everything would be fine.
But Zhong Michu had just accompanied her through life and death, and finally got out, but he let her go back in. Gu Fuyou was unable to say this.
While he was hesitating, a group of people came out of the gate of Xianluo, and the man driving the Pegasus chariot was Zuo Tianlang.
It can be said that the group returned with a full load, and the animal traps on the convoy behind them were bulging high.
Gu Fuyou took a look and saw that it was full of Dizang meat. Her face changed and she thought, "Zuo Tianlang has taken down Dizang, so what about Gu Huaiyou and Si Miao..."
She was about to step forward to intercept Zuo Tianlang and ask about the whereabouts of Gu Huaiyou and Si Miao.
But then the immortal from the sky landed at the gate, and two more people came out following behind the Zuo family's convoy.
They were a young couple. The man was wearing a dark suit and had many wounds on his face. The woman was wearing a dark dress, and it was impossible to tell what color the dress was originally because she looked like she was fished out of blood.
The man held the woman on the ground, helped her lie down, patted her cheek, and called out in a pitiful voice: "Sister! Sister!"
The woman was unconscious. The man suddenly raised his head with fierce eyes, staring at Zuo Tianlang who was driving in the sky. He climbed up and shouted at the Zuo family in the sky: "You are the Zuo family of Xuling. You are violent and disregard human life. Do you have any reason? Do you have any shame?"
