Suddenly, Gu Qingxi felt the mysterious spiritual energy fluctuation again.
If I guessed correctly, the reason why we could repair the city defense array so quickly and easily before was because of this spiritual power.
Could it be that this spiritual power is related to the Lord of Luo City and others, or to these people? Gu Qingxi immediately focused her mind and went to explore below.
But what surprised her was that this spiritual power was as ethereal and ethereal as the power of a fairy. Although she could clearly feel the fluctuation this time, she also vaguely felt that it was related to the crowd below.
But when I gathered my consciousness to investigate, I found that this spiritual power permeated the heaven and earth, was everywhere, and was impossible to capture.
After trying several times with the same result, Gu Qingxi had no choice but to give up.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, Moyun City was able to save the day this time, all thanks to you.
You have come all the way and I haven't even had time to entertain you properly. Why don't you go to the City Lord's Mansion to rest first, let me fulfill my friendship as a landlord, and give me a chance to say thank you." The ancient City Lord came to Gu Qingxi with his sword, looking forward to it.
said.
"Then let's talk about it, Lord City Lord." Gu Qingxi nodded.
After a series of battles, even if she was not tired, Xiao Fangqing and others were tired and needed a good rest.
Amid the deafening cheers of thousands of city residents, the group flew towards the city lord's palace.
"Old City Lord, what's the miracle you mentioned earlier?" Looking at the almost fanatical reverence of the people below, Gu Qingxi suddenly thought of what he saw in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion yesterday and asked.
Although they have not known each other for a long time, she can tell that this city lord has a courageous and resolute personality, otherwise he would never agree to her proposal so easily and risk the destruction of the city and kill all the Thunder Beasts under the city.
.
After all, she had not set up the Demon Cultivator Killing Formation at that time, and the ancient city lord did not know that in addition to sword skills and formations, she was also proficient in talismans. Other city lords would not be as bold as him.
He has such a big heart and courage, which is enough to win the support of the city's people. There should be no need to use methods to fool the people and confuse people's hearts to rule Moyun City.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, do you really not know?" the ancient city lord asked tentatively.
"What do you know?" Gu Qingxi asked inexplicably.
"Although the shrine has rarely appeared over the years, if there is a great chaos in the world and people sincerely pray, they can still seek protection from the shrine.
About six thousand years ago, Sifang City, tens of thousands of miles away, was besieged by monsters like Moyun City.
At the critical moment, more than 100,000 people knelt down and begged, and the last two powerful souls from the shrine came out of their bodies and used their great supernatural powers to repel the beasts and keep the Sifang City safe.
More than 4,000 years ago, evil cultivators caused chaos in Chichuan City. Countless people were eroded by the evil spirit, and their minds became chaotic and killed each other. In the end, the people prayed sincerely, and a powerful spirit from the shrine came out of his body and killed several evil cultivators on the spot.
, restore peace to Chichuan City.
More than two thousand years ago..." The ancient city owner said with a look of fascination as he knew all his treasures.
"You mean, every time a powerful person from the palace appears, it's because his soul leaves his body?" Gu Qingxi asked.
Listening to the ancient city master talking about the various miracles in the world of cultivation, she couldn't help but think of those sect disciples and descendants of the aristocratic families who were poisoned by Jiuyou Soul Refining Powder and had to go to Luoshui City for help.
If those sects and aristocratic families were not lucky enough to meet him, they would probably have no choice but to pray to the shrine in the end. If the shrine sent someone to rescue them, it would probably be regarded as a miracle.
Bar.
If your guess is correct, the culprit behind these natural and man-made disasters mentioned by the ancient city lord, including the crisis in Moyun City, is actually the shrine itself.
Its purpose is to confuse people's hearts as she had guessed before.
But why is it only the soul that appears every time, and why don't the people from the shrine show up in person? Is it because they are pretending to be gods and ghosts?
Gu Qingxi felt that things were not that simple. This was the world of cultivation, everything could have spirits, and there was no point in pretending to be a ghost.
"Yes, unless the thousand-year period has come and the shrine appears on its own, other times the powerful souls in the shrine will leave their bodies." The ancient city lord nodded.
Guessing what Gu Qingxi was wondering about, he added, "I guess it may be because the power of the shrine is too strong and cannot be tolerated by heaven, so there are some restrictions and it cannot easily break the balance of the world."
Gu Qingxi's eyes lit up, as if a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind.
By the way, restrictions! The reason why the shrine only appears once in thousands of years, and why the soul comes out of the body at other times, is probably because of some kind of restriction.
But this restriction may not come from the way of heaven. It may be caused by her disciples.
But why can people's prayers break this restriction, or at least allow their souls to leave their bodies? What about that mysterious spiritual power?
She couldn't think of an answer to this question at the moment.
With all kinds of doubts, Gu Qingxi followed the ancient city lord to the city lord's mansion.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, I heard from Elder Xiao earlier that you are planning to go to the Eternal Desolate Abyss for training?" In the reception hall, the ancient city master personally brewed the spirit tea and handed a cup to Gu Qingxi, asking.
Gu Qingxi took the spirit tea and nodded.
"You have helped Moyun City so much, and I don't know how to thank you. It just so happens that I have a magic weapon here that may come in handy when I go to the Eternal Desolate Abyss. Please don't be dissatisfied, fellow Taoist Gu," the ancient city lord said, taking it.
Bring out a magic weapon.
The instrument is clumsy in shape, only half a foot in size, and looks a bit like a compass. However, what is engraved on it is not the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, nor the Tai Chi Bagua, but the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, and vast galaxies.
If you look closely, you will see that the sun, moon, mountains, rivers and vast galaxy are all composed of extremely small runes.
"What is this?" Gu Qingxi asked curiously.
Although I don't understand what this magic weapon is and what its purpose is, judging from the faint energy, the grade is not low, reaching the heaven level.
"This is called the Tianxing Mountains and Rivers Map. It was found by the ninth generation head of my ancient family in the Abyss of Eternity. It has the effect of seeking good luck and avoiding evil.
But you must also be able to tell that this magical instrument is made in the shape of a compass, but it is slightly incomplete, with the pointer missing in the middle.
I have used it several times before, but sometimes it works, but no matter what, it is still useful, and it may be able to save my life in critical moments." At this point, the ancient city lord blushed a little.
He actually prepared a lot of spiritual crystals, spiritual herbs and heavenly materials and earthly treasures as a thank you gift to Gu Qingxi, but the quality was not too high.
Considering that Gu Qingxi is so powerful at such a young age, has such a powerful spiritual pet, and is proficient in formations and talismans, he really can't get rid of those spiritual crystals, spiritual grass, materials, and earthly treasures.
The only thing that can be obtained is the Tianxing Mountains and Rivers Map.
However, this magical instrument was generally well-preserved, but it was missing the most important pointer, which sometimes worked but not working, which made him feel very regretful.
