Chapter 163 Probing
Above the vast sea of clouds, the spirit boat was flying rapidly in the sky, and the sunlight shone on the transparent barrier, reflecting a blurry luster.
The golden spirit boat is shaped like half a carp, and the transparent prohibition forms a complete carp shape, which is quite unique.
Wang Mang of the ancient Xuan Dynasty secretly conveyed his thoughts and asked about the practice of magic.
Wang Mang directly shared his memory, and a picture flashed in Gu Xuan's mind.
Spiritual and demonic energy coexist in heaven and earth. Spiritual energy is the color of the five elements, while demonic energy is only black. The demonic path is practiced with demonic souls, and the advancement system is the same as the spiritual path.
Before digesting the memory of the devil, He Wei suddenly asked: "Brother Shu, do you have any questions about this experience?"
Gu Xuanlue hesitated for a moment and said, "I have some doubts."
"tell me the story."
He Wei took out three bottles of spiritual wine and handed one to each of Gu Xuan and Di Hong. The white jade bottles containing the spiritual wine had a narrow neck and a large belly.
"Mid-grade spirit wine?"
Gu Xuan pulled out the cork from the bottle and took a sip. He felt cold to the bone and couldn't help but shudder.
He Wei chuckled: "The cold-stimulating wine is indeed of the middle grade. It can activate blood circulation, dispel cold, and make people feel refreshed."
Di Hong was equally surprised: "This spiritual wine is unique."
Gu Xuan got back to the story: "A descendant of the Webster family was murdered, and it has been more than half a month since I was afraid that the murderer would leave the island."
He Weiha breathed out a breath of alcohol, like a cold wave sweeping over him: "The investigators had already set up a large array on the island, and the murderer couldn't escape at all. I wanted to catch a turtle in the jar, but the murderer continued to commit crimes, and was not targeting the descendants of Webster, so Mr. Mo changed his mind.
The original intention was to send the Tianjiao monks to the island to look for the murderer."
Gu Xuan's eyes flashed slightly: "In terms of the general situation, this move is not inappropriate, but it will affect many mortal lives."
He Wei's expression remained unchanged: "The world is being ravaged by catastrophes, and human lives are like insignificant things. It is inevitable that some sacrifices will be made. The situation in the Great Xi Kingdom is not optimistic, and the Xi Emperor's real body is not here. If the people who are to be robbed can be found in advance, Mo Chief Assistant will be able to deal with it more calmly.
"
Wang Mang speculated: "It turns out that Mo Shoufu took advantage of the situation. Only by sacrificing a large number of mortals can this matter be characterized as a sign of catastrophe."
Gu Xuan sighed softly: "With my spiritual roots, it is absolutely impossible for me to be the one to be robbed, but it is possible for Brother He and Brother Shang."
"To be honest, I am confused about this." He Wei took a long sip of spiritual wine and said, "According to the Master, those who were robbed in the past have all cultivated to the level of magic power, and then they were able to finally confirm it."
Gu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "No matter what, if Brother He is in need, I will do my best to help."
He Wei turned his head, looked deeply at Gu Xuan, and said loudly: "Brother Shu, this is enough. If I am the one who is robbed, I will not treat you badly in the future, just like Emperor Xi and Mo Shoufu back then."
Gu Xuan quickly smiled bitterly: "Then I have to practice hard and work hard to make progress, otherwise Brother He will be extremely disappointed."
Wang Mang chuckled: "That's good, just use He Wei as a shield and think that he is the one who should be robbed."
"There is no need to belittle oneself." He Wei turned his head, "Master once asserted that Brother Shu has great luck, coupled with his extraordinary mind, his future achievements will be immeasurable."
Di Hong rarely interjected: "The annoying guy is so capable? Why can't I see it?"
He Wei sighed: "I envy Junior Sister Di. Although she has a spiritual body with her, she is a female cultivator and can focus on everything."
Gu Xuan changed the subject: "Are there any monks among the descendants of Webster?"
He Wei said slowly: "According to what Master said, the fortune of the Wei family was cut off by Emperor Xi, and it would be difficult for future generations to have spiritual roots. Even the descendants of the Wei family whose whereabouts are unknown will not be able to recover."
It wasn't until night fell that the three of them stopped communicating and closed their eyes to rest.
…
Kuozhou is located in the south of Daxi Kingdom, adjacent to the Nanyang Territory. When traveling to the Nanyang Territory, most people go to sea from this state.
Wolong Valley is a huge pit in Lushan, Kuozhou. The diameter of the oval pit is two to three miles long and a hundred feet deep.
The giant pit itself is relatively rare, but the only vegetation in the pit is ordinary shrubs.
Before sunset the next day, the golden spirit boat flew to Wolong Valley, and the murderers from the four major families had all arrived.
Gu Xuan saw a surprising scene, Nangong Shang and Ximen Qi were facing each other solemnly in the sky above the giant pit.
Nangong Shang was dressed in a brocade robe, with a lotus-leaf-shaped flying machine on his feet. His expression was indifferent, his hands were behind his back, and five jade talismans were slowly rotating above his head.
Ximen Qi is dressed in a blue robe, with a pair of blue wings slowly flapping on his back, and three light gray bamboo blades suspended above his head, ready to go.
On the edge of the huge pit, a man in white robes and a man in green robes stood.
The two were murderers from the Dongfang Family and the Beichen Family, and they were whispering to each other.
Seeing the golden spirit boat coming, Nangong Shang said calmly: "Ximen Qi, you are no match for me, so don't humiliate yourself. For Brother Shu's sake, I will let you go today."
Ximen Qi sneered: "We haven't competed with each other yet, how did you know that I would lose? What a big joke! Ximen Shu came at the right time, and he didn't dare to cheat!"
The golden spirit boat quickly stopped in the air, and with a movement of He Wei's thought, the transparent restriction disappeared in a flash.
Ximen Qi took the lead: "As soon as Nangong Shang comes here, he will humiliate the Ximen family! Ximen Shu, take action quickly and teach this guy a lesson with me!"
Nangong Shang didn't say anything and only winked at Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan glanced at Ximen Qi, then looked at Nangong Shang: "Brother Shang has been standing for a long time and went to the side to rest. It's windy today, so don't move your waist."
"Brother Shu has already spoken. How dare I have any objections? I will teach Ximen Qi another day."
After Nangong Shang finished speaking with a smile, he slowly flew towards the edge of the giant pit.
Ximen Qi immediately turned his face and glared at Gu Xuan: "Ximen Shu, as a descendant of the Ximen family, what does this mean?!"
Gu Xuan said loudly: "We are about to land on the island to look for the murderer, so there is no need to fight among ourselves and make others laugh."
The man in white robe and the man in green robe couldn't help but snorted secretly when they heard this.
Ximen Qi directly mocked: "You have been deprived of your Taoist status a long time ago, so what qualifications do you have to speak arrogantly here?!"
"This is the qualification!"
Gu Xuan flicked his sleeves slightly, and the soul-chasing golden thunder beads flew out quickly, hovering above Ximen Qi's head.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Xuan stood up, took out two talismans, and held one in each hand.
"Ximen Shu!!" Ximen Qi's face was extremely gloomy, "Are you sure you want to fight me here?!"
The man in white robe said softly: "It is rumored that Ximen Shu is unruly and arrogant. When I see him today, it is true that this is the case."
The man in green robe agreed: "The talisman of Ximen Shu was obviously given by Master Lengyue. If he hadn't been with Di Hong, how could he be so arrogant?"
Gu Xuan switched to voice transmission: "I just want you to calm down, we need to talk in depth."
Ximen Qi glanced at He Wei and Di Hong, and also sent a message: "Then you still want to go to war?"
Gu Xuan immediately took back the talisman and the soul-chasing golden thunder bead, jumped out of the spirit boat, took out the wooden sword, and flew towards the edge of the giant pit.
Seeing this, Ximen Qi put away his bamboo leaf blade, flapped his blue light wings, and slowly followed Gu Xuan.
Wang Mang asked: "Did you just test Ximen Qi's combat power?"
Gu Xuan did not deny it: "Ximen Qi is only afraid of the soul-chasing golden thunder beads. It seems that he must have a talisman on him."
Wang Mang said: "Ximen Qi can gather the power of thoughts into three strands. It is some kind of secret technique. Although the three bamboo leaf blades are low-grade patterned weapons, their materials are quite extraordinary and they can be refined into high-grade patterned weapons. If you want to experience combat power
, you can invite him to go with you."
Gu Xuan secretly said: "With Ximen Qi's temperament, I may not agree."
Wang Mang turned around and said, "When you met Wang Ling by chance, your heart was in turmoil, but now that you see Ximen Qi, you are as calm as still water. This shows that your mood has improved greatly."
Gu Xuan thought thoughtfully: "Perhaps when I hit the Gangli realm, my inner demons were destroyed by the five-color light characters, which is why this happened."
Wang Mang agreed: "Thinking about it now, it's very possible."
Gu Xuan landed on a rock, put away his flying sword, and sat down directly.
Ximen Qi followed closely, and the wings behind him flashed away, but he stood tall and asked, "What's your relationship with Di Hong?"
"Taoist companion." Gu Xuan stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down. Do you want me to talk to you with my head raised?"
Ximen Qi hummed softly, sat casually next to him, and stared at Gu Xuan: "You have found a Taoist companion, but I have lost a Taoist companion."
Gu Xuan's expression did not change: "According to the information collected by the servant, Wang Ling has not returned for a long time. Did something unexpected happen?"
Ximen Qi said in a deep voice: "There are cracks in Lingmei's fate-knowing talisman, so she must have been killed. Someone has revealed to me that you are the murderer!"
"There is no need to deliberately test. Although there is competition between the direct line and the collateral line, I will not murder Wang Ling."
Gu Xuan took out two jars of spiritual wine, placed one jar next to Ximen chess, patted the sealing mud himself, and took a long sip.
"Actually, you're right. Since taking over the body, I have lost the qualification to compete with you, but my mind is still there. Since you are being honest, please tell me more details so that I can learn more about it."
Ximen Qi also patted open the mud and drank several sips of spirit wine: "According to my subsequent investigation, I only know that Lingmei and two direct female warriors went out to explore the waterfall mechanism, and there are no other clues."
Gu Xuan asked: "What is the waterfall mechanism?"
Ximen Qi immediately briefly recounted what happened that year, but said nothing about getting Wang Mang's storage bag.
"No wonder you suspected that I was the murderer." Gu Xuan pretended to be dumbfounded, "Forgive me, this is extremely ridiculous! I have always admired Wang Ling's mind. With her accompanying me, how could you believe it to be true?"
Ximen Qi flicked his sleeves and snorted: "How ridiculous?"
Gu Xuan blurted out: "It is both a magic circle and a mechanism. It has its own contradictions. Have you ever seen this kind of cave? There is a magic circle behind the waterfall. Obviously the cave is intact. Why is there a magic weapon at the bottom of the pool?"
Ximen Qi always believed that the Snake Shadow Dagger belonged to Wang Mang, but he could not reveal it, so he was left speechless when asked.
Gu Xuan continued: "According to what you said, that boy had not yet practiced Taoism at that time. How can a mortal young master rush into the waterfall? If the cave is in the middle of the waterfall, this matter will be even more ridiculous."
"I've seen the flaw a long time ago. It's because Lingmei is lucky and wants to take advantage of my retreat to find the waterfall mechanism." Ximen Qi turned to sneer, "Don't just ask questions, but come up with profound insights."
Gu Xuan took a sip of spiritual wine: "You haven't discussed it with anyone else?"
Ximen Qi snorted coldly: "Lingmei is very important to my cultivation, so naturally this matter cannot be made public."
"This move is not stupid." Gu Xuan chuckled, "Based on the current situation, it is obvious that someone is targeting the entire Ximen Family."
