The spring scenery is thick, and the flowers in the Qianhui Valley are in full bloom. Gu Xuan can smell the fragrance at will.

Master Leng Yue said: "He Wei came to hand over the colorless flower. I once asked about the situation of the secret place, but I only replied that Taoist Ku Fa was responsible. Emperor Xi was distracted and died because of this. Chief Assistant Mo also sent a message to the great elder and characterized the secret place as

Emperor Xi's Qi Tribulation. But I think there is something hidden in the secret place, do you think so, little friend of the book?"

Gu Xuan said with a smile: "How can Master Leng Yue see you if I'm just trying to hide you?"

"The catastrophe of heaven and earth has quietly come to the world, but three spiritual bodies have been born in the Kingdom of Xi. There must be strong signs of catastrophe. Although the Great Xi Dynasty and the Daozong family have experienced fluctuations in recent years, they are not painful. Only the secret land can be called a catastrophe.

The signs are definitely not pure Xihuang Qi tribulation."

Lengyue Zhenren has a kind face and kind eyes, and his tone is neither blasphemous nor angry, just like a homely person.

"On the other hand, Chief Assistant Mo sent a message to the Great Elder, and He Wei hurriedly went into seclusion, purely to cover up the truth. Although Hong'er is not a victim of the catastrophe, he has spiritual blood, and will inevitably be involved in the catastrophe. Only then do I want to know the truth."

Gu Xuan immediately revealed the true situation of the secret place in detail, only concealing the existence of the strange gray eggs.

"It is related to Hong'er's future. I believe that the little friend of the book will not lie." Master Lengyue turned to analysis, "There are many five elements spiritual objects in the spiritual world, such as the Five Qi Flower and the Tianxin Tree, but they only breed the Crystal Flower Fruit. This is

The fruit is of greatest use to the Gangli Realm. It seems that among the four people who have obtained the fruit, there must be someone who deserves the disaster..."

Listening to the views of monks at different levels on secret places and learning from others is of great benefit to Gu Xuan in improving his state of mind.

Wang Mang secretly sighed: "Monks in the magic realm are not easy to deal with, especially Master Dao Zong. You must not stay in seclusion here."

Seeing Gu Xuan's lowered eyebrows, Master Leng Yue did not analyze any further and immediately changed the subject: "I have asked someone to refine the Beauty Pill. Three mature colorless flowers can be used to refine a lot. My little scholar must have one. At present,

The face is too young, so it can be taken in the Gangli realm."

Gu Xuan took the opportunity and said: "I am planning to retreat to the Gangli Realm. In addition to visiting Hongmei during this trip, I also want to ask the real person for help."

Master Leng Yue said sternly: "Young scholar, it's okay to just say it."

Gu Xuan expressed his feelings directly and asked Master Lengyue to conceal it for him. The excuse he gave was exactly the same as what he told Jing Xiu.

Lengyue Zhenren said: "For you, attacking the Gangli Realm is really not careless. For me, it is just a trivial matter. For Hong'er, this move has certain benefits. Hong'er has been thinking about you very much recently.

, if I retreat with you, I will be able to practice wholeheartedly."

Gu Xuan couldn't help frowning: "I won't tell Hongmei the details, but after Hongmei comes out of seclusion, if she learns..."

Master Leng Yue smiled slightly: "I have always regarded Hong'er as my own child, how could I harm her? I will make my own explanation when the time comes, and I will never embarrass you."

Gu Xuan said respectfully: "In that case, I will only obey the master's wishes."

Master Leng Yue asked: "Where do you plan to retreat?"

Wang Mang hurriedly said: "Since we are in seclusion in secret, we don't want to reveal it even to Master Lengyue, so we just say we are in Guzhou."

Gu Xuandao said: "I have found a safe place in Kuzhou, where I can practice in seclusion and find out about my direct lineage."

Master Leng Yue secretly praised Gu Xuan for being cautious, without blaming or inquiring, and mused: "You and Hong'er will gather together in the afternoon and retreat in the evening. When the time comes, the formation will be opened. When Hong'er enters samadhi to practice, I will quietly send you to Kuzhou.

"

Gu Xuan cupped his hands and said: "Thank you Master, I am deeply grateful."

…

A beautiful couple sat hugging each other on the rock, admiring the scenery of Yunshan Mountain.

Gu Xuan held Di Hong's waist and asked softly: "What do you want to hear?"

"In addition to the secret place, I will listen to all the experiences of the grand ceremony." Di Hong's voice was as clear as a lark, full of vigor, energy, and refreshing.

Gu Xuan began to narrate the story in a straightforward manner, starting from entering the story of Qianqiu Blessing. It was extremely detailed and did not add any extravagance.

With his head resting on Gu Xuan's shoulder, Di Hong listened carefully, occasionally interrupting to ask for details or express his opinions.

Hearing that Gu Xuan robbed the storage bag, Di Hong said angrily: "A herb gatherer in our sect was robbed, and she burst into tears when she came back. It turns out that you are the culprit. Such a disgusting behavior, this girl has justice in her heart and decided to bravely expose it."

.”

After several hours, Gu Xuan finished speaking with a dry mouth.

Di Hong was satisfied, with spring in his eyes: "You're a nuisance, even though I'm annoying, it's a pleasure to listen to you talk about fighting every time."

Gu Xuan asked: "Did Master Leng Yue ask you to retreat at night?"

Di Hong asked back: "Master sent a message before, saying that there was a surprise, but I don't know where the joy comes from?"

Gu Xuan chuckled: "We are just in retreat together, why are we so happy?"

Di Hong was beaming with joy, smiling with crooked eyebrows, and couldn't help patting Gu Xuan on the shoulder: "You have this intention, I am very grateful to you, keep working hard and don't slack off."

Gu Xuan suggested: "It's still early, why don't you go sit in Brother Jiang's tree house?"

Di Hong said: "The Taoist seedlings in our sect who don't need the Spirit Summoning Pill are retreating one after another. It is said that it is the intention of the great elder and the sect master. The specific reason is unknown. If it were not for waiting for you, I would have retreated long ago."

Wang Mang couldn't help but think: "It seems that when a great catastrophe occurs, even the Taoist sects have a sense of urgency."

Gu Xuanlue pondered: "Do you know the current situation of fellow Taoist Mu and Nangong?"

Di Hong replied: "According to Master, the current situation of Daozong is about the same, and Master Mu is already in retreat. As for the current situation of Nangong, I have not heard about it."

…

Di Hong personally cooked and prepared a sumptuous dinner with a variety of dishes, all delicious and delicious.

Master Lengyue was accustomed to it, but Gu Xuan tasted it for the first time. His appetite was so great that he almost swallowed it with his tongue.

After night fell, Master Leng Yue sacrificed a formation disk, pinched the magic formula, and Qianhui Valley was suddenly shrouded in clouds and mist.

After Gu Xuan walked into Chen Guang's training room and closed the door tightly, Di Hong happily entered his own training room.

Chen Guang's training room is not big, with a pot of flowers placed in each of the four corners.

This flower is shaped like an orchid, all white, and its petals open and close on their own, releasing fragrance every time they open.

Gu Xuan sat cross-legged on the futon, smelled the fragrance of flowers, and felt energetic.

Wang Mang introduced: "That is the Awakening Flower. It can invigorate the soul, help you practice meditation, and resist inner demons. When you leave this place, you might as well ask Master Lengyue for a few plates, which can be put into a storage bag."

Gu Xuan kept driving his internal energy to carry out the great cycle of heaven and earth. It was not until midnight that he lowered his voice and said, "Where is the cave of seniors?"

Wang Mang said: "Originally, Lishan Cave is the most suitable for retreat, but you have to be careful about Ximen Qi. Wang Ling has been to Lishan Cave, but there are hidden dangers. The other cave is protected by a magic circle. You can't go in, so you can only go to Yuzhou.

Jinshan Cave Mansion."

"Yuzhou?" Gu Xuan recalled the map of Xi Kingdom and couldn't help frowning, "How is the situation in the cave?"

Wang Mang said: "There used to be a Lingshi vein in Jinshan, which was owned by the Daxi Dynasty. However, the Lingshi was mined out and became an abandoned vein. The mine tunnels inside are like the Guishan Grottoes.

They are criss-crossed and layered on top of each other, as if I were building a cave in a hidden mine."

Gu Xuan asked: "According to the map, there are scattered cultivators in Jinshan Mountain?"

Wang Mang chuckled: "It is precisely because of the existence of casual cultivators that unexpected things happen. The mountains are rolling and there are no other casual cultivators in the mine tunnel. They all opened caves on the surface of the mountain. If the catastrophic foreign object has a vision of being born, just activate the sealing talisman and use it

With the mine tunnels extending in all directions, you can easily leave."

"What the seniors said makes sense." Gu Xuan thought about it briefly, "Yuzhou is far away from Guzhou. I only have two concealment talismans left. I can't reach it invisible at all. I can only disguise myself as a warrior and ride on horseback. Say less.

It will take a month.”

Wang Mang said: "But there seems to be no other place to go except Jinshan Cave Mansion."

Gu Xuan pondered for a long time: "How about going to Yu Bing Cave Mansion at the bottom of Wuhu Lake?"

Wang Mang pondered: "I know that people in Yu Bingdong Mansion have gone into seclusion one after another. It is private enough, and the road is relatively close. There are no monks around. Even if there is a strange phenomenon, they can easily evacuate. But I don't know what the aura is. Let's go and take a look first. If there is a lack of aura,

, and then go to Jinshan Mountain."

Gu Xuan nodded: "Senior, I'm thinking about Zhou Xiang, so that's what I'll do."

…

Late at night a few days later, Master Leng Yue used a cloak to make himself invisible and took Gu Xuan away from Yunshan, claiming that even Master Luo Luo could not see through the signs.

Before leaving, Gu Xuan asked for the Awakening Flower, and Master Lengyue generously presented four pots, which were placed in a special storage bag.

Master Lengyue wanted to protect Di Hong, so he sent Gu Xuan outside a certain city in Kuangzhou and then returned invisibly.

Gu Xuan affixed a concealment talisman and sneaked into the city to steal some makeup items in the dark of night.

Less than two hours later, Gu Xuan disguised himself as a young man in gray clothes with a short beard and rode towards Wuhu Lake.

Arriving near Wuhu Lake, Gu Xuan abandoned his horse, put on his concealment charm, and patrolled around Wuhu Lake.

It was found that most of the young people from several surrounding villages were not in the village, and Mr. Yu Sanye and Muramasa were not seen in Dongyu Village either.

It is expected that Mr. Yu was true to his words. After receiving the gold leaf, he led the Qingzhuang people to leave the village to make a living.

Gu Xuan sneaked into Wuhu Lake with greater confidence, passed through the transparent restriction at the bottom of the lake, and came to Yu Bing's cave.

After a brief inspection, the cave remained the same as before. He didn't care about steaming and drying the clothes. Gu Xuan couldn't wait to ask: "Senior, how is the aura of this place?"

Wang Mang chuckled: "Although your spiritual energy is thin, your spiritual roots are enough to advance to the Gangli realm."

Gu Xuan's face showed joy, and he quickly started using the steam method: "God has paid off. Even finding a place for retreat has been full of twists and turns. I, the person who is going to be robbed, are really useless. If it is not necessary in the future, it is better not to be exposed."

Wang Mang said solemnly: "I'm afraid it's not up to you. When the great catastrophe is completely revealed, it will surely sweep the world, and those who are affected by the disaster will bear the brunt."

With a rush of zhenqi, mist evaporated from the surface of Gu Xuan's body: "According to senior estimates, when will the great catastrophe come to the world?"

Wang Mang thought for a moment: "Using the secret place as a reference, from the time the secret place appears to when you get the gray egg, it will take a full hundred years until it is fully born. I think it will be a long time, so you have to make good use of it."

After all his clothes were dry, Gu Xuan first took out four pots of Awakening Flowers, placed them in the corners, and then took out the futon.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Gu Xuan said directly: "I'm ready, senior I'll share my experience."

As soon as he finished speaking, a picture flashed into Gu Xuan's mind, all related to the impact of the Gangli Realm.
