Chapter Forty-Five: Turning Around
Gui Wufu sealed the cave mansion, and galloped away in the direction of Longwen Island.
He didn't go to the Silent Void Hall, but went straight to the direction of the Whistle Island Teleportation Array in the south of Dragon Pattern Island.
It stands to reason that Wu Miao is very hard to win over him, and he is not to blame, even if it is out of superficial courtesy, he should be honest with him. However, it is not to blame that the posture of the two sides is determined by each other's positions, and it is different from the worldly sense of human affection. What's more, as soon as they leave the island, they will come to the door sooner or later under various names.
Driving Yuanguang to fly away for half an hour, there was a dangerous peak and valley in front of him, and the strange danger of the cliff and ravine. Gui Wuyi suddenly didn't see it, and rushed towards this peak cliff.
At the moment when Gui Wu's light touched the mountain wall, the vision suddenly changed, as if a layer of fog had been revealed. The mountain peaks and precipices are all gone, and what you see is a valley, six or seven round and regular Zhang's two stone platforms, arched in the nineteen palace array gates.
The moment Gui Wuyi came in, a few rays of light flowed on the gate of the Nine Palace Array, and then three or four figures dissipated. At the same time, within the five copper spoons on the "wing gate" of the formation platform, the five elements of fine jade with five attributes turned into pale cyan ashes.
Blameless, the light fell straight on the front gate.
On both sides of the gate stood two people, both of whom were dark-clothed scarves, thick-soled square boots, and wore a set of animal armor. This is the standard attire of the monks of Yu Xuanzong Weidao.
The two of them are round and silent, condensed and turbid, and they are the Jindan First Heavy Realm monks like the people of Huoyun Dao.
The man on the left was tall and thin, with a prominent forehead, and his face looked like a bit of a city government, and he was about to ask where Gui was not to blame.
With a flick of his wrist, Gui Wuyi took out the "White Jade Tiger Festival", and said with a smile: "Take this to teleport the magic circle and go to Zhongqu Island." ”
The tall and thin man was surprised and said, "It turned out to be a returning friend." Well said, well said. He first made a "please" gesture, and then, as if thinking of something, suddenly froze. His right hand seemed to inadvertently lean against a stone platform and press it gently.
The man on the right rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "There seems to be something wrong with this teleportation array, and I must ask the array mage guarding here to investigate one or two." Wait for a while. "He is middle-aged, with a round face and prominent fat, but his eyes are as small as mung beans, and his face looks slightly obscene.
The tall and thin man's face was a little unnatural, and he seemed to dislike the excuse of being middle-aged with a round face. The moment Fang Gui came in through the phantom array, he obviously saw that someone had just been teleported away.
The round-faced middle-aged man also suddenly realized, and his face was a little scornful.
Gui Wuyi smiled indifferently, and his tone was very sincere: "I will go to see Brother Wu again when I have time, I have something important to do now." It's convenient for the two of you. Although he was polite on his lips, his feet were very neat, and he had already walked to the center of the Nine Palace Array Gate in three steps and two steps.
Blameless did not expose the lies of the two, but this action can really be regarded as "Ming people don't say dark words". Yu Xuanzong and the others exchanged glances, hesitated slightly, and finally took out the five elements of the five attributes of the essence jade, placed it in the copper spoon on the five array plates, and recited the mantra to urge the formation. Three rays of light rose and rolled, and the figure of Gui Wuxia disappeared in an instant.
After two incense sticks, Wu Miao hurried over with two Jindan monk guards, facing the empty Nine Palace Array with a dumb face.
At this time, he stood in a dense forest covered by a layer of towering trees and a shrouded sky, and he slightly distinguished the direction, walked forward hundreds of steps, and suddenly opened his vision. A huge rift valley about hundreds of feet wide suddenly appeared in front of him, covered by the hazy mist. Gui Wu blamed Yuanguang, and he was about to cross this rift. But at this time, my heart moved, and I inexplicably gave birth to an induction. After some thought, he turned around and headed south.
It is no fault that although he is not meditating and practicing at the moment, he is not going out to wander, but resolving one of the levels in the Ninety-Nine Entrance. Strictly speaking, it's part of the spiritual process. In this case, this induction in the dark may be a gift of the resources of the Dao Fate, but it should not be ignored.
Crossing the canyon to the north and turning south is very particular.
The topography of Zhongqu Island is very peculiar, and the people of Yu Xuanzong call it "the hidden pearl in the mussel". The island stretches for tens of thousands of miles, and the entire coastline is blocked by tall mountain ranges, forming a wide and narrow basin, but the terrain is actually excellent. There is a dense forest in the middle of the island, and in the dense forest, there is a crack five or six hundred zhang wide and bottomless that surrounds it, encircling a secret place that is more than 1,000 miles from east to west and 4,500 miles from north to south.
What is real and void in this realm wrapped in cracks is difficult for ordinary people to know in the periphery. Because a thick white mist rises from the cracks. This kind of fog can teach people not to distinguish things more than ten zhang away, let alone hundreds of zhang.
The one hundred and eight sentinel islands surrounded by the wilderness, as well as the countless star islands under its control, are only exchanged by monks, and there is not a single mortal. However, Zhongqu Island is different, where all the cultivators are concentrated in the "Pearl of the Clam in the Shell" surrounded by the rift valley, but the entire Zhongqu Island is ruled by two mortal kingdoms.
Three thousand years ago, the entire Zhongqu Island was still an uninhabited desert island. At that time, the head of Yu Xuanzong did not know for some reason, and migrated hundreds of thousands of people to this Zhongqu Island.
These hundreds of thousands of people gradually divided into two tribes, and then formed two countries, named Chongguo and Yuguo, which occupied one south and one north of Zhongqu Island. There are wars and peace between the two countries, and the national border is also uncertain between the north and the south, but as if providence does not teach the unity of the two countries, any country can only occupy two-thirds of Zhongqu Island at most when it is the strongest, and if it wants to attack again, it will always be inexplicably hindered.
Gui Wuyi hid his body and fled south, which was in the direction of the kingdom of the mortal kingdom and the worship of the country.
When I first knew that there was such a thing as a gathering of mortals, I didn't have much touch in my heart. But when I really saw a herd of cattle and sheep on the grassland, and the paddy fields in the original area were deserted, my mood really changed. In this boundless barren sea, there is a sudden place where vitality gathers, and anyone who sees it for the first time will taste it again and again, as a little food to reconcile their mood.
After a while, a city outline appeared in front of me.
Between the two columns, inside the plate, eight or nine children with drooping hair were playing. One of them held a bamboo dragonfly, rubbed it hard, and chased and clapped his hands with his neck tilted. There was also a slightly taller one, with a small whip in his hand, and he was whipping the spinning top with all his might. The other boys were divided into two groups, and a group of several people jumped up and down, doing the play of the nine palaces. The other two or three children were playing with some bamboo horses, bamboo dragons, bamboo tigers and other playthings.
On the steps not far away, an old man and a young man sat still.
The old man has a clear appearance, dressed in a pine crane shirt, and holds a reed sheng in both hands. Although he is old, he is full of energy, and his music is melodious and majestic. It has a bit of majestic charm like the wind and fresh like water. The young man was eight or nine years old, wearing a coarse cloth shirt, on the right side of the steps, six or seven feet away from the old man. Clenched a piece of bee candy cake with both hands and nibbled on it. His eyes blinked, staring at the eight or nine people who were playing on the blue brick floor.
After a long time, the old man finished playing the song. But I found that there was a young man in a white robe with a beautiful face standing next to him, his face was very unfamiliar, and he knew at a glance that he was not a local.
The old man suddenly lost his mind. This alley stretches out to the east and west for thirty or forty zhang without a turn, and it stands to reason that once someone enters the alley, it is very eye-catching. However, the young man in front of him came close to this place, and he actually turned a blind eye and a deaf ear. He knows his own family affairs, and playing the reed sheng is just an interest, not like a musician, immersed in it, and completely forgetful. What a hell of a day.
Despite this, the old man put away his doubts and asked, "Where do you come from, this descendant?"
Gui Wuyi smiled: "Traveled from afar." ”
The old man nodded and said, "You can see at a glance that you are not from Wencheng. Three or four years ago, I also saw a few groups of people from Luocheng and Tongcheng hundreds of miles away, and they all looked like you. I don't know if you are Yuncheng or Hongcheng?"
"Neither," he said. Further. What generation did the old gentleman move to Zhongqu Island?"
The old man's face was dazed: "What is Zhongqu Island?"
