Chapter 600 Your Senior Brother, I'll Leave It to You to Save
Chapter 600 Your Senior Brother, I'll Leave It to You to Save
Here, several people from Taiyi Sect were comforting Gu Xia's wounded heart, while the more reliable righteous group over there had already begun to study the mission details sent by the elders.
"Quickly take a look at what the elders have sent out?"
Cen Huan tapped the jade slip with his fingertips, and said with a hint of surprise: "It says that there is a problem with the dragon veins in the human world, and we are asked to find the Human Emperor."
"Huh?" Yu Heng pointed at them and said in an incredible tone: "Who are we to go to the Human Emperor?"
"Are you sure you won't be kicked out as a liar?"
It's not that he has no confidence in himself. In fact, whether in the world of cultivation or in the human world, there seems to be an unwritten understanding.
That is, those elders with white hair and immortal demeanor seem more trustworthy. Little brats like them, who rashly come to their door and say they are here to help solve others' problems.
I guess he will be kicked out as a liar immediately.
Oh no, that's the Human Emperor. Maybe they don't even have the qualifications to meet him.
Although they have never been to the human world, they still know these basic common sense.
Yi Ling held his face in his hands, and his tone was slightly prolonged: "Human Emperor? Isn't that the ruler of the human world? There must be a lot of rules."
Ye Sui'an came back to his senses, thought about it, and gave him an example: "For example, you should have heard of the rules and regulations within the aristocratic family, right? I guess they are similar to them."
Everyone here is a native of the cultivation world. None of you have ever been exposed to these things, and yet they just followed the Taiyi Sect's people in a daze.
Thinking of this, several disciples couldn't help but turn their heads and glared at Gu Xia repeatedly.
Gu Xia just pretended that he couldn't see it and ignored it completely.
It depends on what she does. She does have many years of experience in various costume dramas and novels, but she is not sure whether there is any gap between them and the actual situation.
Jiang Chaoxu coughed lightly, and seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, he said: "It's still a little different. Although the aristocratic families have many internal rules, in the end, strength still speaks. However, the only thing in common is that both of them attach more importance to bloodline."
"We just need to remember one thing, the lineage of the Human Emperor has the highest status in the entire human world, so it won't be a big deal if we don't break up with them easily."
Gu Lanyi stood aside with his arms folded, and said coldly: "Where did you get this information from? Is it reliable?"
"I have my own way." Jiang Chaoxu smiled: "Believe it or not."
"…"
Gu Xia suddenly realized something and turned to ask the others: "Since we are on a mission, shouldn't there be something like a token?"
"Does anyone know what it is? It should be able to prove our identity."
Xu Xingmu agreed: "Why don't you ask?"
So a few people sent a jade slip and called over again.
"Yes? Master, what is the token of our mission?"
After a while, a cold voice came from the other side.
"Oh. There is a token, but it is still in my hand. I am very pleased that you can still realize this problem, haha."
"Or maybe it's not too late for you to choose to come back now."
Everyone: "..."
Well, it's impossible to go back, otherwise we'll probably all go to jail together.
It seems they can only rely on themselves.
*
The journey was already halfway completed, and the group of people sat together still without a clue.
"Since there is a problem with the dragon vein, it must be no small matter, otherwise we would not ask for help from the cultivation world."
Gu Xia began to speculate: "Although we don't have a token, there is still good news for now. We can create our own identity."
ha?
The others looked at each other and pretended to listen attentively.
"We can find out in advance what kind of identity can get close to the Emperor. We are all cultivators, so it should be easy to disguise ourselves, right?"
The most important thing is that this will not easily alert the enemy.
Based on Gu Xia's experience of following novels and watching dramas for so many years, she can guarantee that if there is a problem with the emperor, it is either usurpation of the throne or treason.
In short, there is no way to avoid these things. Things related to imperial power are complicated. If they really go to find the Human Emperor carelessly, let alone whether they can gain the other party's trust, they will definitely alarm the people behind the scenes.
Moreover, based on her understanding of these direct and simple-minded disciples, it would probably be a waste of effort.
Fortunately, although the disciples were not very scheming, most of them were smart. After pondering her words for a while, they instantly understood what she meant.
"But with so many of us, it's not easy to assign an identity to each of us." Cen Huan pointed out the biggest problem.
Gu Xia waved his hand: "You are right, I just put forward a hypothesis. When we get to the human world, we will need to analyze specific issues in detail."
Ye Sui'an tapped his palm with his folding fan and suggested: "It doesn't matter. If it doesn't work, we can ask Li Tingyun to set up a formation to hide the whereabouts of others."
At this point, Gu Xia slowly turned his head and asked a soul-searching question: "Has anyone seen Li Tingyun?"
They hadn't seen him since they boarded the spirit boat. After hearing what Gu Xia said, everyone looked around.
Yi Ling, who had been listening intently, froze up and raised his hands, wanting to cry but unable to: "It's over, I seem to have forgotten to release my senior brother."
"…"
By the time Gu Xia pulled the person out of the sack.
The young man remained motionless, looking at her with a fluctuating gaze.
Gu Xia identified it carefully and felt that it was murderous intent.
hiss.
She quickly gave up her seat to Yi Ling behind her, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly: "Come on, young man, your senior brother is left to you to save."
Yi Ling: "..."
Goodbye, he was afraid that the eldest brother would be the first to strangle him to death.
After releasing the man, as expected, Li Tingyun almost slapped Yi Ling to the ground.
"You are so rebellious. How dare you use the immobilization talisman on me?"
Oh no.
Gu Xia glanced at Yi Ling, who was trembling with his head in his hands, and smiled: "You are so brave."
She wasn't so bold as to use the immobilization talisman on Shen Weixun.
Whenever he researched new talismans, he would just show them to his other three brothers.
I didn't expect Yi Ling to cause such a big stir with just one move.
The young man whispered: "I have no other choice but to do this."
Li Tingyun was furious: "Can't you just tell me directly?"
"Will you agree if I tell you?"
Li Tingyun said expressionlessly: "No."
"But at least it won't make me want to beat you to death."
Yi Ling: "..."
Gu Xia stood by and watched the fun, saying in a rhythmic tone: "Wow, what a touching friendship between fellow students."
Li Tingyun turned around and said sinisterly: "I almost forgot that you are the culprit."
Gu Xia was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
It was sloppyChapter 601 I Like to Follow the TicketChapter 601 I Like to Follow the TicketAfter a chaotic scene on the spirit boat, everyone gradually began to feel bored.
"How about playing a game?" Sang Wan raised his hand and suggested.
The disciples looked at each other with disgust and refused.
Are they in a relationship good enough to sit down and play games together?
But it's really boring.
Bai Song hesitated for several times, and finally asked in a low voice, "What are you playing?", just before Gu Lanyi could no longer bear it and was about to kick him out.
The other disciples seemed not to care, but they were actually pricking up their ears.
There are no fun games in the world of cultivation. As the chosen ones of heaven and the hope of the sect, they have been growing up under the strict teachings of their family and elders day after day since they were young.
To outsiders, as direct disciples, they have all the resources and advantages. But in reality, whenever the direct disciples are compared with each other, the weakest one is always bound to face the disappointed eyes of the elders, the indifferent cold eyes of others, and the incomprehensible pointing of outsiders.
Do your job well when you are in your position.
This is something they have understood since they were very young.
Since he has the status of a direct disciple, he has lost the joy that a young man of his age should have.
Practice hard day after day in order to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the people in the future.
Gu Xia, who had just shaken off the violent Li Tingyun under the protection of several senior brothers, turned his head slightly and let out a light sigh when he heard the words.
A bunch of poor little ones.
She smiled and said, "I'll teach you how to play something fun."
A quarter of an hour later.
The disciples, who were originally a little reserved and pretending not to care, joined in the joyful game one after another.
"Hurry, hurry, I'll vote for Gu Xia. She must be no good."
"Plus one, stab her."
"Trust me, Gu Xia is definitely a wolf. Kick her out first and the game will be safe."
As the initiator of the game, Gu Xia, who was suddenly attacked by other disciples, felt like he was split into two.
Because she was cracked.
Depend on.
Gu Xia pinched her creaking fingers and looked at Yu Heng with a smile: "Say it again, I'm a good person."
Yu Heng: "I don't believe it."
"I'm a really good person." Gu Xia emphasized again, staring at Xie Baiyi: "It's okay if he's just an idiot, but why the hell did you vote for me?"
Xie Baiyi remained calm: "Nothing, I just like to follow the crowd."
"What about you?" Gu Xia looked at Gu Lanyi sinisterly.
The young man crossed his arms over his chest, with a half-smile on his handsome face: "I just like to follow the tickets, is that okay?"
Gu Xia gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you are so cruel."
She was completely defeated. It was her first time playing the cultivation world version of Werewolf and she had absolutely no gaming experience at all.
She didn't know if it was because she had cheated people too many times, but this group of disciples didn't even give her a chance to speak. They just glanced at each other at the beginning, and then kicked her out first.
No matter whether she is a good person or not, these guys are convinced that she is not a good person.
All the disciples seemed to have reached some tacit consensus: the game could be lost, but Gu Xia must die.
It's just fucking outrageous.
Gu Xia took a deep breath: "Fuck."
Damn, what the hell is this?
She couldn't help but sigh to the sky: "Why is it so difficult to be a good person?"
Ye Sui'an couldn't bear to watch it anymore, he leaned on her shoulder and twitched, his voice was full of laughter: "Junior sister, in your next life, you should be a human being first."
Just based on her usual inhuman behavior, all the disciples present here have been poisoned by her. How could anyone dare to believe her?
"…"
For example, Sang Wan.
The girl pinched the corner of her clothes, curved her eyes at her, and said softly: "Xia Xia, I believe you are a good person, really."
Gu Xia: "So if you believe in me, why do you still vote for me?"
Sang Wan said firmly: "But I don't believe you are a good person in this game."
Gu Xia: "..."
Thank you.
*
I have to say, it's different when you spend money. After a group of wealthy disciples contributed a mountain of spirit stones, they finally arrived at the junction.
The spirit boat cannot be used here, otherwise it may not even be able to find a landing point, and it would not be good if ordinary people who have no cultivation saw it.
The world of cultivation has its own rules, and the human world has its own laws, which no one can break at will.
If they accidentally caused panic and someone with ulterior motives reported it to the Five Sects, they would most likely have to go to the forbidden area again.
Although for the people of Taiyi Sect, returning to the forbidden area is as comfortable as returning home, but who would want to go into the forbidden area when they can stay outside?
The spirit boat landed on an open space not far from the border. Shu Yue stretched out her hand to shrink it and summon it back.
"What should we do next?"
A large group of them were walking on the street, and they would definitely attract a lot of attention.
Jiang Chaoxu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go exchange it for the currency used for transactions in the human world first."
He remembered that he seemed to have heard an inner disciple who was on a mission mention that spirit stones could not be used in the human world.
Since they had just arrived, they naturally had to find a place to stay first so that they could make long-term plans.
A group of disciples who had never traveled far were confused.
Fortunately, in order to facilitate the monks to hide their identities and travel in the human world, there is a spirit stone exchange point set up at the junction.
In addition, these disciples were from large sects and none of them were short of money, so they passed the border smoothly.
Seeing that the surroundings were becoming increasingly prosperous and lively, the group gathered together to discuss and decided to split into two groups.
A team of people started from the court ministers on earth, first to find out the clear information and then make plans.
On the other hand, the direct disciple hid in the dark and observed the current situation in the imperial city. After all, only by knowing both yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
Before parting, Ye Sui'an suddenly let out a soft "ah" and reminded them: "You can't fly a sword casually in the human world. It's just like the rules in the main city of the aristocratic families. If you are caught by law enforcement officers, you will be fined. You should try to be careful."
When he mentioned this, Gu Lanyi remembered the time when she was tricked by Gu Xia a long time ago, and immediately glanced at him sideways with a sinister look.
Gu Xia looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, pretending that he couldn't see.
Generally speaking, as the most fragile of the fragile, Dan cultivators certainly need the protection of powerful sword cultivators.
Moreover, there are many girls in the Yanxia Sect, so Gu Xia thought about it and asked people from the Qingyun Sect and Lingjian Sect to lead them.
For these two specialized sects, among the five direct disciples of Yanxia Sect, there are both weapon cultivators and alchemy cultivators, and Chu Xianyin is also a talisman cultivator. The cooperation of the three sects together is simply the best match.
As for Gu Xia and the others, they all have expertise in various professions, plus they have received direct instruction from Xuan Mingzong.
The combination of the two teams is still very good.
Bai Song whispered: "Why do we have to cooperate with the people of Lingjian Sect?"
Yu Heng: "We haven't gotten over your holding us back yet? How dare you say that?"
"Since we need alchemy practitioners, it would be appropriate for us to cooperate with the people from Taiyi Sect." Bai Song did not look down on alchemy practitioners. In fact, alchemy practitioners in the cultivation world have always been sought after by cultivators.
But the situation is unclear now. Is it dangerous to bring a group of squishy people with you to five stars?
Feng Luocheng sneered: "Since you despise us so much, then you probably don't need the pills we provide."
"..."One hit to kill.
Gu Lanyi ignored everyone else. After hearing the arrangement, she turned around and stared at Gu Xia for a long while, almost getting angry at her.
"what?"
Gu Lanyi didn't say anything.
After a while, they left with the other two sects.
Gu Xia: "…" Is there something wrong?
Li Tingyun was not much better. He stood beside and tried to freeze Gu Xia to death with his eyes.
Because he felt that the reason his fellow disciples rebelled and stole him out of the room was definitely because of Gu Xia's instigation.
Gu Xia has become immune to this.
Who cares? Just glare at him. It's not like she's going to lose any weight anyway.
Do whatever you want.
Chapter 602: Mortals like us can only look up
Chapter 602: Mortals like us can only look up
After a brief discussion, the few of them decided to enter the imperial city first and then go and investigate the news separately.
As soon as Gu Xia stepped into the imperial city, he was aware of the cold and chilly atmosphere in the air, and his fingertips quietly clenched the defensive talisman.
Looking at the others, they had obviously become alert as well, but in order not to attract attention, the sword cultivators had thrown their spirit swords into the mustard seed bags.
"Let's find a place to stay first." Jiang Chaoxu frowned and said, "We can go out and find out later."
The others nodded in agreement.
As the power center of the entire human world, there are quite a few inns with good environments in the imperial city.
Perhaps because he saw that they were a group of young boys and girls who looked like strangers from other places, the innkeeper asked for a huge sum of money and tripled the price of the room.
Gu Xia slapped the table and pointed at them, saying with a fake smile: "Don't we look like we're being taken advantage of?"
The middle-aged man with a goatee glanced at her. He thought there was nothing to be afraid of from a young girl.
"That's the price, not a penny less."
Gu Xia and his family were not so poor that they had to live on the streets, but it still felt bad to be taken advantage of and blackmailed.
Just then, a young man who had been standing there watching for a while tugged at her sleeve and gestured to the side with his eyes.
Gu Xia raised her eyebrows slightly, and her eyes fell on him calmly.
With the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Golden Core, his talent at this age can be said to be very good.
He is probably a disciple of some sect in the world of cultivation.
The others didn't understand what was going on, so they followed suit.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
The young man looked around, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "My fellow Taoists, if I'm not mistaken, you are also here for the matter of the dragon vein in the human world, right?"
Ye Sui'an nodded his chin and said calmly: "Oh? Could it be that you are the same?"
"That's right."
The boy blinked and said in a familiar tone: "If that's the case, then I advise you to find a room as soon as possible. You may not know it since you came so late."
At this point, he lowered his voice even lower: "At night, the imperial city is haunted."
As soon as these words came out, the air around them seemed to cool down by several degrees.
Gu Xia: "Oh wow."
Xu Xingmu: "Exciting."
The two of them sang the same tune, making the people of Xuanming Sect roll their eyes speechlessly.
As expected, sword cultivators love to be surprised.
Seeing that their reactions were different from what he expected, the young man scratched his hair and said seriously, "I'm not kidding. The Imperial City is really dangerous at night. There are many monks coming here recently, but no one knows what is causing the trouble in secret."
Yi Ling couldn't help but said: "With so many monks here, don't you have any clues? And they said it was haunted, could it be that someone saw it with their own eyes?"
"Are you kidding?" The young man's eyes widened, and his low voice was inexplicably sinister: "If he really saw it, would he still be alive today? Of course he is dead and cannot be deader."
He urged: "So you should stop arguing with the shopkeeper and book a room first, otherwise you may really have to sleep on the street."
Gu Xia felt that what he said made sense, so he patted him on the shoulder and said politely: "Thank you very much."
The boy blushed slightly and scratched his hair in embarrassment. Just then his friend called him, so he walked over there quickly. Before leaving, he waved to them with a bright smile: "My name is Wang Jian. You can come to me if you have any problems."
Gu Xia waved his hand casually and turned his head, only to meet the strange looks from everyone, including his senior brother.
"What?" She leaned back and almost punched him.
Ye Sui'an circled around her again and again, stroking his chin and saying in a sly way: "He seems to have a good impression of you."
"Huh?" Gu Xia hasn't reacted yet.
The next second, the eldest brother dropped his iron fist and smashed Ye Sui'an into the ground.
"Ah! Why did you hit me?"
Shen Weixun's pupils floated, and he looked at him coldly: "Don't lead Junior Sister astray."
Ye Sui'an: "..."
No, what did he do?
Didn't he just say something casually? Why hit him again?
The other two brothers were laughing beside them.
Not to mention, although Gu Xia's personality is a bit eccentric on weekdays, her cold and beautiful face is still very deceptive.
It's just that all the familiar disciples have been yelled at by her so many times that they hate her face to the core.
But for other people who have never dealt with them, teenagers of this age are still quite concerned about their looks.
"Strange." Gu Xia thought they were crazy and looked at the sky: "It's getting dark, let's solve the accommodation problem first."
Otherwise, I might really have to live on the street.
*
"It's been resolved."
The people from Xuanming Sect left for some reason and just happened to walk over from the counter when they heard her words.
Gu Xia was shocked at their speed and tilted his head: "So fast?"
Li Tingyun raised his chin and said with disdain: "As long as the money is in place, it's not difficult."
Gu Xia glanced at him and asked Xu Xingmu in a low voice: "Second Senior Brother, was he this arrogant before?"
"That's about right." Xu Xingmu also whispered: "They all like to talk like that."
I don't even recognize any of them anymore.
When I go out, I wish I could have the three big words "I'm rich" on my head.
Hearing them talking about him in front of him, Li Tingyun said: "..."
damn it.
Don't think I can't hear you if you lower your voices!
"Are you dissatisfied with me?" The young man's cold voice sounded.
Gu Xia smiled slightly: "How could that be? You are a child of a wealthy family, and mortals like me can only look up to you."
Xu Xingmu nodded and agreed: "My junior sister is right, we are praising you, are you happy?"
"…"
He is not happy at all!
Li Tingyun felt that if he stayed any longer he might be pissed off to death by these two guys, so he simply went upstairs with his fellow disciples.
"Gu Xia Gu Xia, let's go too."
Xu Xingmu happily pulled her sleeve.
It's not their money anyway, and the people of Xuanming Sect have always been wealthy.
For Gu Xia, who is now penniless, it would be a fool not to take advantage of a good opportunity.
We are all good brothers anyway, so what's wrong with spending each other's money?
The main focus of their Taiyi Sect is companionship.
After settling down, the two sects acted separately, keeping in touch with each other through jade slips in case of emergencies.
There is still a big difference between the human world and the world of cultivation. At least there are no birdmen flying over their heads on swords at any time.
Otherwise, why is it called the Imperial City, a place where every inch of land is valuable? The long street was bustling with activity. Gu Xia and Xu Xingmu were walking in the front, and they would exclaim "Wow" from time to time, attracting the attention of passers-by.
A thought arose tacitly.
Where did this bumpkin come from?
…
The kids should all be on summer vacation by now, right? (Thinking) (Suddenly realizing)Chapter 603 Do They Look Like Suckers?
Chapter 603 Do They Look Like Suckers?
The corners of Jiang Chaoxu's mouth twitched. He was really fed up with the strange looks from passers-by.
The young man held one of them with one hand and smiled: "When you go out, can't you pay attention to your image?"
"Image?" Gu Xia struggled for a while, but failed to dodge, and asked lazily: "What is that?"
Xu Xingmu: "Yes, we are not the Lingjian Sect who likes to show off, so what image do we need?"
On the other side, several people from the Ling Jian Sect who were completely unaware of the situation were injured for no reason.
Jiang Chaoxu covered his face: "..."
Destroy it, he is tired.
Several good-looking boys and girls walking together can easily attract other people's attention.
Because the spirit swords were placed in mustard seed bags, they looked like young masters and young ladies from some wealthy family.
The jewellery vendor nearby suddenly spotted Gu Xia, the only girl in the queue, and began to sell her products enthusiastically.
Seeing this, several fellow brothers came over to join in the fun.
Xu Xingmu picked up a white jade hairpin, placed it on Ye Sui'an's head and gestured back and forth, and then was successfully slapped down on the stall by the other party.
Ye Sui'an curled his lips and looked at the stall owner next to him: "Can we try it on and see?"
"Of course."
Then, under everyone's stunned gaze, Ye Suian inserted all kinds of colorful hairpins all over Xu Xingmu's head.
From a distance, it looks like a peacock spreading its tail.
"Ahhh Ye Sui'an, I'm going to fight you--"
Gu Xia was quick-witted and quick-handed. He hid behind his senior brother and took out a photo stone to record this precious and joyful scene.
Shen Weixun simply couldn't bear to watch the two stupid junior brothers hurting each other. When he noticed Gu Xia shrinking behind him, a smile appeared in his pupils.
"Do you like these?" Girls should all like pretty clothes and jewelry. Even the female cultivators in the world of cultivation prefer those beautiful robes and magical jewelry.
Only Gu Xia, who was either pinned to the ground and rubbed by the elders, or being beaten by society outside all day long, looked like a gray cat.
Thinking of this, Shen Weixun suddenly felt like an old father. How could his cat be inferior to other cats?
The young man frowned and looked at Gu Xia, then lowered his voice: "What do you want? I'll buy it for you." He knew that Gu Xia's pockets were cleaner than his face.
As a senior brother, it doesn't make sense for me to let my junior sister spend money when I'm out.
Gu Xia, who was fiddling with the photo stone, looked up blankly: "Huh?"
She had no idea what incredible thing her senior brother had suddenly come up with.
Seeing that the other party was eager to give her the cultivation world's version of a "miracle dress-up", Gu Xia quickly pulled him away.
"It's not necessary, Big Brother. It's really not necessary."
She was telling the truth. Just based on her ability to accurately draw the hatred of the big boss every time, these things were simply stumbling blocks on her way to escape.
And most importantly, Gu Xia said seriously: "I can buy expensive ones, but I can't buy them too expensive."
Don't think she didn't realize that the stall owner just wanted to rip them off.
Do they look like scapegoats?
Why do they all want to treat them as enemies?
*
Fortunately, the few people finally remembered the purpose of their trip in time.
At Gu Xia's suggestion, the five brothers and sisters went into the largest restaurant in the imperial city to investigate the situation.
As for why you chose a restaurant?
Just kidding, is there anything better than gossiping over a meal?
This is simply the latest version of gossip spreading place.
"Have you heard? The palace has been haunted recently and His Majesty has fallen ill."
"Is this true? How do you know about the palace?"
Gu Xia keenly caught the sensitive words, exchanged a glance with several senior brothers, and then sat down next to the table without saying a word.
After a quick look around, I saw several tables of monks around who seemed to be looking this way.
Probably a monk.
The man who had spoken earlier continued: "How could I lie to you? To tell you the truth, my uncle's nephew's son's cousin is working in the palace. How could this news be false?"
"Oh no." Xu Xingmu thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out. He poked Gu Xia: "Junior sister, his family relationship is so complicated."
Gu Xia felt the same way: "Indeed."
That man must really have some connection with the matter. He spoke about it so immersively during the entire meal that if you didn't know him, you would think he had seen it with his own eyes.
After the brothers and sisters took note and saw that there was no useful information, they decided to go back to the inn to integrate the clues.
Gu Xia was thinking about the news she had received when she suddenly felt something coming towards her. She turned sideways to avoid it and then reflexively reached out to grab it.
After seeing clearly what it was, her expression went blank for a moment.
It turned out to be a squid.
Several other brothers also saw clearly what they had grabbed.
Then they all fell silent.
All kinds of fruits and vegetables seem to have the same characteristics.
That is, it is so hard that it can knock them unconscious.
The five brothers and sisters stepped back and looked up, only to see a group of shy girls on the teahouses on both sides, secretly looking at them.
Gu Xia's several senior brothers were all very handsome. The tall and graceful young man who looked like the breeze and the bright moon stood there and successfully attracted their attention.
"Ahhh, sisters, smash it quickly——"
As they noticed, a few brave girls' cheeks flushed and they threw more at them in excitement.
Just like rain.
No, why smash them?
What did they do wrong?
Gu Xia's eyelids twitched and he dodged repeatedly.
Damn it, if this thing hits her head she can show them how she will suffer from amnesia on the spot.
"No." Ye Sui'an was dumbfounded, and with difficulty he poked his head out from under the flowers and fruits: "Girls in the world are too passionate."
"…"
The five-member group was in high spirits when they went out, but when they came back, they were more embarrassed than each other. After rushing back to the inn, they happened to run into the people from Xuanming Sect head-on.
"You guys..." Li Tingyun looked at them. Except for Gu Xia who ran far away and fast and was not affected too much, the other brothers were buried under the flowers and fruits.
The young man crossed his arms, tapped his fingertips twice, raised his voice slightly, and laughed twice for no reason.
"why are you laughing?"
Ye Suian had just taken the petals off her hair and turned to look at him sinisterly.
Li Tingyun curled his lips and said nonchalantly: "Nothing. I just love to laugh."
Ye Sui'an: "..."
Damn it.
This guy must be laughing at them, right?
"Do you know what you look like now?"
Xu Xingmu subconsciously asked: "Like what?"
Li Tingyun calmly took two steps back to avoid being beaten, and gave a short laugh: "Four innocent boys who were almost flirted with."
The four innocent boys: "..."
Shen Weixun stared at him expressionlessly, and silently began to take out the magic sword from the mustard seed bag.
"Eh?" Li Tingyun saw his movements and retreated a few meters again, saying coldly: "You are anxious."
The Xuanming clan disciple behind him wanted to manually mute his senior brother's microphone.
What motivated him? He was looking for a fight.
Yi Ling smiled awkwardly: "Would you believe me if I said my senior brother had no ill intentions?"
Gu Xia squatted beside him and pointed to his side: "You should ask my senior brother if he believes in the sword first."
"…"

I saw a food show late at night. Damn it! I'm hungry QAQChapter 604: Lao Wang Next Door
Chapter 604: Lao Wang Next Door
In the end, the two groups were unable to fight.
The reason was very realistic, because they had to pay compensation for damaging the inn.
However, after this incident, the two clans obviously hated each other even more.
"Don't be angry." Gu Xia sighed, and inexplicably felt like she was taking care of a naughty child: "Let me first tell you about what I found today."
Li Tingyun retracted his gaze and ignored the look Shen Weixun gave him. Anyway, he felt happy and he also liked Gu Xia a lot more.
"We went to the residences of the kings, princes and generals in the imperial city and indeed found some strange places."
Li Tingyun said: "I found the same formation above their mansion. That formation gave me a very ominous feeling."
Moreover, it is obvious that it is not a good thing to have so many formations concentrated in the residences of dignitaries.
Gu Xia: "What kind of formation is that? Have you seen it?"
Li Tingyun recalled and shook his head: "It was the first time I saw it, but I felt it was not a good thing."
"It shouldn't be done by a righteous person."
To some extent, if the person who set up the formation could get the words "not a good thing" from Li Tingyun, a genius in formation, then the person who set it up was definitely not a good person.
Gu Xia was a little surprised: "But come to think of it, you don't even recognize him?"
"Nonsense." Li Tingyun rolled his eyes at her and said in a slightly cold tone, "This kind of insidious formation is obviously not something that a righteous cultivator would use. It can only exist in some forbidden books."
"Am I crazy to learn something like this?"
As disciples of the righteous path with a good family background, the only thing they have in common is probably their equal contempt for all those who take the crooked path.
Jiang Chaoxu frowned, thinking that his words were really harsh. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "Have you found such a formation above the palace?"
Yi Ling uttered an "ah" and answered, "I don't know. When we approached the palace, we noticed a mixed atmosphere. We didn't know if there was any danger, so we didn't get any closer."
"Do I need to guess?" Ye Sui'an held his chin up and blinked slightly: "Even the residences of the court ministers did not escape, so the imperial palace will certainly not be missed."
That makes sense.
The other disciples nodded subconsciously. In fact, they felt the same way.
Since it is related to the formation in the forbidden book, it is definitely not a fight between ordinary people.
This means that people from other tribes have interfered in human affairs.
As a result, they have to be more careful in their actions.
Xu Xingmu slumped down on the table, his voice unclear: "What a hassle."
"Can't we just rush into the palace and yell, 'Freeze, we're here to save the world'?"
The boy's immature words attracted the attention of others.
Li Tingyun sneered unceremoniously: "You can go and try."
Maybe people will think you are mentally retarded.
Xu Xingmu sensed a strong malice in his few short words and glared at him.
Damn it!
Gu Xia opened the window, looked up at the sky, and thought for a while: "How about this, you first ask the elders of the sect to see if there is any forbidden book that records this formation."
"While it's still early, I'll go find someone."
Jiang Chaoxu: "Who are you looking for?"
Gu Xia raised the corners of her lips slightly, and had already left the room while speaking, leaving only the girl's clear voice in her ears.
"Lao Wang next door."
*
The air in the room was silent for a moment.
Jiang Chaoxu blinked blankly: "Who did she say she was going to find?"
"I don't know." Xu Xingmu never thought too much, and happily jumped up and followed him out: "Won't we know if we go and take a look?"
Anyway, Junior Sister didn't say that they were not allowed to go.
Everyone thought about it carefully and it made sense.
I didn't expect that this idiot Xu Xingmu was the one with the fastest thinking among them.
The people from Taiyi Sect immediately reached a consensus and followed him out of the door leisurely.
Only Xuanmingzong's direct disciple was left completely confused.
"Big Brother." Yi Ling asked in a low voice: "Shall we go and take a look too?"
Li Tingyun was not interested in what Gu Xia wanted to do, but he felt a little curious about her words "Old Wang next door".
Hearing this, he also looked at the sky outside and said, "Let's go and take a look."
The disciples acted casually, and a group of people followed them to the door of a room. They happened to see Xu Xingmu and a few others who came earlier clinging to the door frame, and their backs looked sneaky.
Just as Li Tingyun was about to speak, Ye Sui'an threw a silencing talisman at him to appease him.
"Shh. Don't talk."
Li Tingyun's eyes flew towards him like knives, and he gestured to untie him.
"Are you sick? What are you doing lying outside the door in such a disgusting way?"
"Nonsense, of course I was eavesdropping."
This is the first time I've seen someone talk about eavesdropping so confidently.
Li Tingyun was speechless for a moment.
Soon, they heard voices coming from inside.
It sounded like Gu Xia was asking about the young man named Wang Jian whom they had met before.
It's just that the other person's companion was probably very alert and tried every way to interrupt their conversation every time.
Gu Xia held her chin with one hand, looked at the girl in red who was glaring at her, and smiled: "I'm such a good person, I just wanted to ask something."
The girl in red raised her chin: "I don't believe it."
"And why should we tell you?"
Wang Jian was caught between the two of them, feeling overwhelmed and not knowing what to do.
"Well, Le Yun didn't mean any harm, she just spoke her mind a little too bluntly, please don't mind it."
Gu Xia certainly didn't mind, and curled her eyes: "Don't worry, I'm always easy to talk to."
Le Yun snorted coldly.
The people eavesdropping outside the door hissed softly.
Xu Xingmu was unhappy: "She is so fierce."
Shen Weixun patted his head, lowered his eyes, and said in a light tone: "Don't say bad things about girls behind their backs."
Besides, they were just casual acquaintances, so it was reasonable for the other party to be wary.
Xu Xingmu said slowly: "I understand, Senior Brother."
Gu Xia wanted to talk about something else first: "Which sect are you from? Are you just a few of you?"
Wang Jian scratched his hair and smiled shyly: "We are from Mingquan Sect."
Gu Xia thought about it and realized that she didn't recognize him.
This is no wonder. Apart from practicing in the secret realm and hurting other disciples, she has never dealt with people from other sects.
We were completely exhausted from talking today.
Gu Xia remained calm and changed the subject: "How long have you been in the human world? Since the imperial city is said to be haunted, and there is no Yuanying stage in your team, what should you do if you encounter danger?"
Le Yun, who had been eavesdropping nearby, rolled her eyes: "Do you think that people in the Nascent Soul stage are all cabbages? Come on, come on."
Wang Jian called her lightly, and she then snorted and stopped talkingChapter 605 Legs Grow on Them
Chapter 605 Legs Grow on Them
"Sorry." The young man looked at Gu Xia with a slightly apologetic look, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he found that she looked normal. "At our age, it's already amazing to be able to reach this level of cultivation. As for the Nascent Soul stage, I'm afraid only the direct disciples of the five sects can do it."
He smiled: "After all, those are the geniuses that the great sects have cultivated with all their efforts. How could they look down on the human world?"
Gu Xia asked back: "Why not?"
"Because it's very dangerous, and there's no benefit." Wang Jian was stunned for a moment, and patiently told her: "The Five Sects will not allow them to put themselves in danger."
"Although there are many restrictions in the human world, there are also few powerful people who notice this place. Those fallen cultivators in the cultivation world, or the demons and monsters, may appear here."
"So the places where the disciples usually train are only places where the elders have sent people to check out and confirmed that the danger is within the controllable range."
Unlike those ordinary sects, they knew there were dangers but had to go if they wanted to break through.
Therefore, in the world of cultivation, except for the five sects, ordinary sects lose the most disciples during training every year.
There was a hint of envy and unwillingness in Wang Jian's tone.
But there is no way, this is how the world of cultivation is, the strong prey on the weak, and talent determines status.
Le Yun suddenly interrupted, her tone of dissatisfaction much stronger: "It's just that their backgrounds are better than ours. If we really talk about contribution, what have they done for the cultivation world?"
Gu Xia smiled with an ambiguous tone: "Really?"
"How naive." None of the disciples who heard the conversation said anything. Only Li Tingyun sneered first: "Do you really think it's that easy to be a disciple?"
In the eyes of outsiders, the five sects occupy the vast majority of resources in the world of cultivation, and the direct disciples are the most powerful among them.
The reason why most cultivators feel unfair and feel resentful that they have done nothing for the cultivation world but can enjoy the best resources is because of the jealousy that they have never had in their hearts.
But they might have forgotten that for thousands of years, whenever a catastrophe occurred in the world of cultivation, when those ordinary sects were still hesitating, the five sects, from the sect masters to the outer disciples, would go down the mountain to defend the way without hesitation and transform themselves into a barrier for the world of cultivation.
Especially among the five sects, there are many martyrs throughout history.
Some are even more tragic, with all the disciples having to prove their teachings with their own bodies.
Since they adhere to the sect's teachings, they will fulfill their due duties.
No regrets, even death.
Although the others didn't say anything, they also felt a little uncomfortable.
Why are you talking to them as if they are a bunch of useless people who are just waiting to die?
Wang Jian restrained his expression and suddenly said with a sense of ease: "But this year's disciples are all very powerful. I heard that they not only fooled the provocative demons, but also successfully escaped from that hellhole in the demon world."
You know, there were also cases where the disciples who had not yet grown up died at the hands of the demons.
With this comparison, it seems that this batch of disciples are quite capable.
"It's a pity that they probably don't think highly of missions in the human world, otherwise I would really like to get to know them."
Gu Xia pulled the corners of his lips, with a strange expression.
Hey, you're right.
She didn't know whether her former disciples looked down upon the human world.
But now, all the disciples of the five sects have been abducted by her to the human world.
Even though the elders did not allow it, just because they have legs doesn't mean they can't run on their own.
Gu Xia touched his chin and suddenly thought with evil humor, when they find out soon that their personal disciple is right in front of them and listening to their complaints.
I guess his complexion will be very interesting.
*
Let me explain this on two sides.
The other three sects remained silent along the way, but after entering the imperial city, they noticed the strange atmosphere in the city.
They are all monks with all five senses. Things that ordinary people cannot perceive cannot escape their eyes.
After briefly investigating some of the court officials' residences, the relatives found that it was their first time in the human world and they did not go to an inn to inquire for information like Gu Xia and the others did.
This resulted in them not hearing any of the rumors that the imperial city was haunted at night.
Until the sky became completely dark and the air around gradually became deathly silent, the sound of wind blowing fallen leaves on the ground was unusually clear, and one could seem to hear mournful sobs in one's ears.
"Zheng——"
The Jinghong Sword was suddenly unsheathed, and the flash of snow-white sword shadow reflected Xie Baiyi's slightly alert face.
At the same time, other disciples also reacted quickly.
At the same time, all the spiritual swords on the sword cultivators' waists were unsheathed, accompanied by bursts of crisp sword sounds, and the air suddenly became chilly.
"Something's wrong."
Xie Baiyi and a group of sword cultivators gathered together in a protective posture, protecting the alchemy cultivators and weapon cultivators who could not fight in the middle.
In this quiet atmosphere, her heart suddenly beat as fast as a drum. Shu Yue clenched the magic weapon in her hand and lowered her voice: "He is not a monk."
The meaning is very clear. If he is not a cultivator, then he is an evil spirit wandering in the human world, or he is a member of the demon or monster race.
Yu Heng tightly grasped the Fuyao Sword in his hand, holding it horizontally in front of the alchemists, his breathing quickened: "What should we do now? Run or kill?"
Xie Baiyi said succinctly: "Let's go first."
They have not yet figured out the origins of those things hiding in the dark and spying on them.
This situation where the enemy is hidden and we are in the light is really not suitable for us to stay here any longer.
Perhaps they realized that their group had all had high levels of cultivation, so apart from the disturbing ghostly noises around them, there were only the occasional black shadows that flashed by.
After several sword energies stabbed into the air, the sword cultivators walked out cautiously, following the people protecting the Yanxia Sect.
Several alchemy practitioners fully extended their spiritual consciousness to explore the surrounding situation.
Just when everyone was about to step out of this silent area, suddenly, several dark shadows approached quietly from different angles.
Because the sky was completely covered by thick dark clouds, these black shadows of various shapes were able to hide their bodies, but the cultivators' spiritual awareness was sharper.
Sang Wan quickly warned: "Be careful, something is coming."
The swordsman, who was keenly aware of approaching danger, stabbed out with his sword, shattering the two black shadows.
The sharp hissing sound seemed to be right in front of them. The layers of sword energy protected everyone tightly. Chu Xianyin's spiritual sense moved, and he seized the opportunity to drop several talismans. The burning spiritual fire briefly illuminated the surroundings.
The disciples also caught a glimpse of the whole thing that had secretly attacked them.
"hiss--"
A group of people gasped in unison, feeling as if their eyes were contaminated.
"What the hell is that?" Yu Heng was shocked by its ugliness and said sincerely: "It's disgusting."
There was an unidentified object wrapped in a black fog in front of him, and it looked like it was covered with tentacles and claws. After hearing Yu Heng's disgusted voice, he stared at him intently.
Cen Huan's scalp was about to explode when it stared at him, and he wanted to cover his mouth: "Shut up."
The thing soon let out a scream as it was burned by the spiritual fire, and then disappeared.
Xie Baiyi walked in front holding a sword and uttered one word: "Go."
His disciples all woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly followed him to leave this haunted place.
Chu Xianyin paused for a moment, turned her head and looked at Gu Lanyi beside her, with a trace of doubt in her eyes: "Big Brother, are you okay?"
The black shadow just now was coming towards Gu Lanyi, but for some reason, he moved a little slowly. Fortunately, Chu Xianyin shot out a spiritual fire talisman in time.
"It's okay." With the illumination of the magic weapon in front, Gu Lanyi's voice was as cold as ever.
But she didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the eldest brother's face seemed a little paler than before.Chapter 606: One Thousand and One Ways of Death of the Evil SpiritChapter 606: One Thousand and One Ways of Death of the Evil SpiritGu Xia and others, who had no idea what they had been through, were still in the inn.
Seeing that the people from Mingquan Sect were hesitant and didn't intend to say more, Gu Xia didn't rush. He turned his head to look out the window and stood up to leave.
As soon as the door was opened, several people who were crowded outside and had no time to get up suddenly rushed in.
If Gu Xia hadn't reacted quickly and dodged sideways, this group of guys would have crushed her.
"Why are you here?"
Gu Xia looked at them leisurely. She had just noticed them whispering outside the door, but she didn't expect them to be so persistent.
The Xuanming Sect members who were caught looked away, scratched their faces guiltily, and stammered for a long time without being able to utter a word.
There was no way around it. It was the first time for them to eavesdrop and they were not experienced enough in the job.
On the contrary, Ye Sui'an and his companions were much more thick-skinned. There was nothing they couldn't say anyway.
He put his hand on Gu Xia's shoulder, his eyes fell on the few people who were watching them as if they were on guard against thieves, and smiled: "Nothing, just taking a casual stroll."
Several people in the room could hardly hold back their desire to complain crazily.
Damn it, what kind of good person can talk about eavesdropping so confidently?
The key point is that among so many people, no one noticed it.
Oh no, Wang Jian's eyes fell on Gu Xia, who didn't look surprised, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Obviously, the other party should have noticed it a long time ago.
Just as they don't trust this group of people, others don't trust them either.
In this situation, the eldest brother should not even mention the second brother.
Watching their figures disappear at the door, a baby-faced boy in the room suddenly scratched his hair and said hesitantly: "I don't think they are bad people. Isn't it a bit bad for us to hide them like this?"
Le Yun knocked him on the head without any hesitation: "Idiot! How many people have you met? Are you so sure that they are good people?"
"And Master said that the fewer people who know about the reward for this mission, the better."
In the world of cultivation, profit is everything. Even though the dragon veins in the human world are dangerous, there are still many cultivators who come here for the generous rewards behind them.
It is said that this is a treasure that has been passed down in the lineage of the Human Emperor for hundreds of years, and most cultivators only know this superficial information.
However, their sect had found out in advance that the reward was the spiritual weapon Tai Chi diagram.
If anyone can obtain this item, even a person who knows nothing about formations will gain enlightenment overnight, and will be able to easily calculate ancient formations and break and set up formations.
Wang Jian was somewhat puzzled: "They all seem to have strong cultivation bases, and I don't know which sect they are from."
Gu Xia and his group, who had already left at this moment, had no idea that they were brainstorming crazily.
As for why none of the disciples know what the reward for this mission is?
It's very simple.
That's because they came in a group without saying hello, and the elders were so angry that their heads were buzzing.
Until now, no one has remembered to tell them about this.
As expected, sooner or later you will have to pay for your misdeeds.
…
As night fell, the temperature of the entire inn seemed to drop a lot, bringing a chill that penetrated into the bones.
Monks do not need to sleep like ordinary people, so most of the disciples choose to meditate in their rooms.
"ha."
Gu Xia and Ye Suian pressed Xu Xingmu to the ground, one on each side. The other two senior brothers also sat aside, playing with the teacup on the table.
As for why they didn't just leave the room there but instead gathered together, it was because of course there is strength in numbers.
Ye Sui'an said confidently: "My fourth apprentice brother and I are so weak, pitiful and helpless. What if we encounter danger?"
Then, weak, pitiful and helpless, he dragged several other fellow disciples with him and they all gathered in Gu Xia's room to kill time.
Mainly out of curiosity, I want to see what kind of haunting it is.
Just when the three of them were having a great time, Gu Xia's consciousness suddenly moved. She paused, looked up and glanced at Jiang Chaoxu who had sat up straight.
The two of them have the strongest spiritual awareness among the five, especially Gu Xia. Her cultivation base is now in the Nascent Soul stage, but her spiritual awareness is almost as strong as that of the late Nascent Soul stage.
At this moment, within the range of their spiritual awareness, they could clearly see ghost fog filling the air, and dozens of black groups were darting around outside like ghosts.
After a moment, those black shadows of various shapes seemed to have received some instructions and began to look for targets everywhere.
Then shapes gradually emerged from the black fog. Some looked like octopuses with tentacles all over their bodies wriggling madly, while others had two heads and three eyes, which looked very eye-catching.
Jiang Chaoxu looked at the corners of her mouth twitching and said gently, "Junior sister, spare your eyes and stop looking."
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Xu Xingmu, who couldn't see, poked his head in and was extremely curious and anxious about their reactions.
Jiang Chaoxu glanced at him and said faintly: "I advise you not to ask, I'm afraid you will spit it out."
Xu Xingmu: "???" He didn't believe it.
Gu Xia took a deep breath and said, "This is the first time I've seen an unidentified object that looks so sorry to society."
Ye Sui'an said: "Otherwise how can it be called an evil spirit?"
They are good at disgusting people.
In a word, two words: difficult to comment.
The brothers and sisters were crazily complaining about the evil-looking creatures that suddenly appeared outside.
Suddenly, several dark shadows floated towards them and were outside the door in the blink of an eye.
Gu Xia and Jiang Chaoxu had already retracted their spiritual sense a second ago. I don't know how they are finding their target, so it's better to be cautious.
Xu Xingmu blinked and said, "What do they want to do?"
"I don't know, let's wait and see."
So several people held their breath and stared at the black shadows outside.
Soon, the black shadows began to merge with each other. The original black shadows continued to rise and gradually became the same as the shape of a normal person.
Gu Xia vaguely felt that she might have guessed what they were trying to do.
Next second.
Shen Weixun's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Junior sister, are you there?"
"???" This sentence made several people confused.
No, are evil spirits so powerful nowadays?
They have all learned to imitate the voices of people they are familiar with.
Shen Weixun's originally indifferent expression faded, his fingertips quietly fell on the hilt of the sword, and a few words seemed to be written on his expressionless face.
It's dead.
He dared to use his voice to trick the junior sister into opening the door.
Shen Weixun lowered his eyes, having already thought of a thousand and one ways for the evil spirit to die.
…
I suddenly want to eat cake. I really admire my flickering appetite. It has to mess up my mentality in the middle of the night. QAQ
