The Great Sage's mansion is majestic and majestic. It is built against the mountain and is full of holy energy. The gate is more than ten feet high, with a lion and a dragon carved on it, standing erect in the wind and snow for eternity.
It was dusk, the sky was dark, and the lights were on.
The deer cart is parked in front of the door.
Liao Kuo jumped off the carriage and stood next to a foot-high stone lion, frowning slightly.
Only seen.
The gate of Xu Mansion was closed tightly, and there was no guard. Only eight glazed lamps hung on it, swaying in the wind.
Liao Kuo and Xu Mingjing have been friends for many years. Logically speaking, since they had already known each other, the Xu family should have sent someone to greet them at the door.
Liao Kuo is the one Nalan Danqing talked about, the fish and dragon realm monk from the Book Alliance two thousand years ago.
"Sir, it seems that something unexpected happened. Do you want to use spiritual perception to calculate?" Liao Kuo walked to the side of the vehicle frame and whispered.
A voice came from inside the car: "Don't do that! Go and knock on the door, we are just ordinary visitors."
The door was knocked open.
The person who opened the door was an old man whose cultivation had reached the semi-saint level. He looked at Liao Kuo warily. After recognizing him, he immediately knelt down and saluted.
Liao Kuo helped him up and said, "Do you know me?"
"Two hundred years ago, Senior Liao visited the Xu Mansion. Everyone in the Xu Mansion greeted him outside the door. At that time, I was still young and had a low cultivation level. I could only see Senior Liao's face from a distance."
The old man looked puzzled and said: "Senior Liao is here, why didn't you inform him in advance?"
Liao Kuo asked: "Where is your family head?"
"The head of the family came back yesterday!"
The old man knew very well that Liao Kuo had an irreversible friendship with the head of the family, so he invited him into the Xu Mansion without any hesitation.
The door opened, and Liao Kuo walked in front with an upright posture.
The old man held the deer cart and followed behind.
There was another group of guards who quickly rushed to the head of the family's mansion to report. The entire Xu Mansion was like a giant being activated, quickly becoming lively and lively in the ice and snow.
Liao Kuo's heart continued to sink to the bottom.
With Xu Mingjing's cultivation level, he would definitely show up as soon as he came to Xu Mansion. How could he need someone to report him?
Arriving outside the courtyard of the Patriarch's Mansion, all the elders of the Xu family's Holy Realm clan had arrived.
"Meet the true God!"
The seven clan elders all saluted Liao Kuo.
A large number of people knelt down around them.
Liao Kuo bypassed everyone and stepped into the head of the family's mansion, but did not find Xu Mingjing.
One of the clan elders, whose cultivation had reached the level of a holy king, stepped forward and said cautiously: "Lord True God, the head of the family is not in the house."
"Where did he go?"
Liao Kuo felt uneasy.
The elder of the Holy Royal Clan said: "We don't know what happened. The master of the family came back yesterday and should be in the courtyard... We just found out after the guard reported that the master of the family has left again!"
"Left again? Did you really leave by yourself?" Liao Kuo said as if talking to himself.
A figure wrapped in a black robe stepped out of the deer cart outside the mansion.
He took off the ancient lamp hanging on the roof of the car, held it in his hand, walked into the courtyard, and said: "Everyone, get out."
Everyone in the Xu family looked at each other, not sure who the man in black robe was.
Liao Kuo said: "Everyone, get out!"
"yes."
Under the leadership of seven clan elders, the Xu family members exited like a tide.
The gate of the mansion was immediately closed.
Liao Kuo bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "Sir, I really didn't know that such an accident would happen. I have checked carefully just now and found no trace. Xu Mingjing should have left by himself. Maybe there was something unexpected. I
Contact him again now.”
"No need, he may be avoiding you." The man in black robe said.
Liao Kuo was stunned and said: "This is absolutely impossible, our friendship is very deep."
"It's because of our deep friendship that you learned the most secret of the Xu family that cannot be shared with others."
A strong hand reached out from the wide sleeves of the black-robed man, and pointed his finger at the void. Suddenly, the void turned into liquid, and countless tiny ripples appeared.
The ancient lamp in the other hand then doubled in brightness.
"Let's go to Qiming Sect and remove all traces of our visit."
The man in black robe turned and walked towards the door.
Liao Kuo's face turned pale and he said: "Sir, you are saying... killing people and silencing them is not enough!"
"You don't have to kill anyone to silence them, but you have to make the entire Xu family disappear. You can think of a way." The man in black robe opened the door and walked into the deer cart.
Two white deer walked through the snow.
Seven days later, Liao Kuo caught up with the deer cart on the official road.
While driving, he preached: "I have dismissed all the members of the Xu family and asked them to change their surnames and leave Fengshuang City. No two people are allowed to see each other again in their lives. If the identity of the Xu family is exposed, I will kill them without mercy."
."
Seeing no response from the car, Liao Kuo finally said what he had been saying in his heart: "Sir, is it really necessary to be so cautious? I myself feel that it is very cruel and unreasonable. They did nothing wrong.
"
Inside the car said: "If you do the wrong thing, you should die. If you do the right thing, it's not unusual to die. You think we are too cautious, but do you know that if this matter is exposed, not only the Xu family of Fengshuang City will die, but also
He is the person named Xu in the entire book world. In fact, the entire book world may be wiped out."
At this moment, Liao Kuo finally knew what a terrifying high-end situation he was involved in. After a brief suffocation, he calmed down and asked: "With my cultivation and your master's, we can reach Qiming Sect in an instant, but it takes this..."
As ordinary monks move forward slowly, are they avoiding the perception of a certain existence?"
"There are too few gods in the book world. Any god-level power fluctuation will appear particularly eye-catching. I would rather go slower than make mistakes."
The man in the car said: "If you are smart enough, you must learn to exercise restraint. Try not to ask about things you shouldn't know."
…
Another half month later, Liao Kuo drove a deer cart and arrived at Qimingzong.
The leader of the Qiming Sect, "Wen Qingxiu", is the Great Perfection Supreme God who has survived the catastrophe of the First Yuanhui. He met Liao Kuo in a red maple forest.
Under the tree.
She is slightly plump, wearing a goose-yellow divine dress and feathers. She is sitting at the chess table, playing chess alone.
"Liao Kuo, who stepped into the realm of gods five hundred years ago, has now reached the level of mid-level god. His cultivation speed is so fast."
Wen Qingxiu only stared at the stone chessboard and said casually: "What you did in Fengshuang City, do you think you can hide it from my perception?"
"Qingxiu Shenzong is the number one person in the book world. If a god appears in the book world, naturally he can't hide it from you." Liao Kuo said.
Wen Qingxiu raised her head, revealing her stunning beauty, her eyes revealed a cold light, and said: "You should give me an explanation, right?"
Liao Kuo showed no fear and asked, "Can Qingxiu Shenzong tell me first why he keeps paying attention to every move of the Xu family?"
"What do you mean?"
"No matter how many divine thoughts the gods have, they cannot monitor everything in the world all the time. After I entered the book world, I did not release my divine thoughts and divine energy. How could I attract the attention of Shenzong? There is only one answer. Shenzong is not because of me.
But I learned about the Xu family. It was because of the Xu family that I came to the book world."
Liao Kuo continued: "Where did Xu Mingjing go?"
Wen Qingxiu re-examined Liao Kuo and said: "You are the one who went to Xu's house. I should ask you this question. Eh..."
Wen Qingxiu looked away from Liao Kuo and looked at the black figure ten feet away behind him.
The black shadow holds an ancient lamp, like a ghost.
"Wow!"
In the red maple forest, dense divine patterns emerged, like light chains sealing the world.
Wen Qingxiu had already stood up, with a beautiful and upright posture, and her black hair was moving automatically. A piece of white divine light text appeared in front of her, suspended in the void, and the overwhelming momentum made it difficult for Liao Kuo to move.
Compared to the weak figure in the world of mortals before Yuan Hui, the Wen Qingxiu now has not only grown in age, but has already developed the aura of a strong person.
The man in black held a lamp and walked forward slowly, saying: "Do you know why we found this place? Because before we arrived at Xu's house, you had already been there once and cleaned up all the traces. But it was you who cleaned up the traces
His behavior exposed his traces.”
"Can you tell?"
Although Wen Qingxiu could still remain calm, her heart was already in turmoil. It was hard to imagine what kind of terrifying existence Xu Mingjing had provoked.
"I can see it, which means that any means you use will have no meaning to me. Tell me the whereabouts of Xu Mingjing, you only have one chance."
The man in black clasped his fingers and said, "I know how to search for souls!"
Wen Qingxiu said: "Di Chen has returned to the Wuding Divine Sea, how can he let you do whatever he wants? To tell you the truth, I am the one who belongs to Fairy Linglong. If you touch me, you'd better think clearly about the consequences."
"Ao Linglong's person?"
The man in black smiled and moved in front of Wen Qingxiu.
Wen Qingxiu reacted quickly and immediately backed away, but even though her legs were long, she couldn't move forward, as if she was being grabbed by someone.
"Wow!"
A keel lyre flew out from the depths of the red maple forest, but as soon as it entered the range illuminated by the ancient lamp, it was frozen and unable to move forward any further.
Yu Zhenxiu flew towards her with her sword, but before she could stab it out, she was slapped away by the man in black.
Wen Qingxiu circulated the energy in her body, and was about to die with the man in black, but under the light, she saw the lower half of the man in black's face clearly, and her eyes were suddenly filled with shock.
After a while, she lost her composure, her eyes were extremely complicated, and she bowed forward and bowed deeply.
The man in black said: "Can we talk now?"
Wen Qingxiu tried hard to digest the shock in her heart. There were many things she wanted to ask, but she didn't dare to ask them. She said: "After Xu Mingjing returned to Fengshuang City, he rushed back to Qimingzong overnight and asked me to take him away from the book world and find a safe place.
A place to take refuge.”
"What kind of refuge?" the man in black asked.
Wen Qingxiu shook her head gently and said: "He refused to say it! He only said that he was in trouble and did not want to bring disaster to the book world. Dare I ask... Dare I ask my lord, what on earth did he commit?"
The man in black said: "Do you think this is something you can know?"
Wen Qingxiu saluted again and said, "Qingxiu wants to know if there is still a way to survive in the book world?"
"You have to tell me first, where is Xu Mingjing?" the man in black said.
"Southern Universe, Zijun Star, was once an ore planet under the Book World. It was very remote and few people knew about it. As the big world of Southern Universe moved to Heaven and Sword Realm, it is definitely a good place to escape from the world."
Wen Qingxiu said.
The man in black said: "If the book world wants to survive, there must be no insiders."
Wen Qingxiu showed a sad expression and said, "Qingxiu understands!"
Then she slowly raised her palm, and divine flames appeared in her palm. Then with a fierce look, she was about to shoot at her divine sea and divine source.
"I think you don't understand at all. Even if you want to die, you have to take me to Purple King Star first." The man in black said.
Liao Kuo stood in the distance, unable to move his body. He could only see Wen Qingxiu saluting the man in black, but could not hear the content of their exchange.
He has a deeper understanding of the identity and strength of the man in black.
He is definitely a terrifying big shot. The number one person in the book world has to bow to him. One moment he was arrogant and cold and arrogant, looking down on all living beings. The next moment he was as well-behaved as a little maid.
Yu Zhenxiu was another one of the Four Beauties of Bihai.
Only she and Wen Qingxiu are still alive today. The other two shows have died for many years.
"Junior sister, I have to follow this lord and leave Kaimingzong for a while. The book world will be left to you!"
Wen Qingxiu took out the clan leader's seal and handed it to Yu Zhenxiu.
She was worried that Yu Zhenxiu was unaware of the seriousness and reported the matter to the sword world, so she said cautiously: "You didn't see anyone today and you don't know anything. This is about the life and death of the book world. Do you remember it?"
Yu Zhenxiu could feel that once her senior sister left, she would probably never come back, so she shook her head desperately.
Wen Qingxiu said: "If you can't remember, senior sister can only kill you now. Anyway, I will go with you soon. If you want to live, you must be obedient."
Yu Zhenxiu didn't know how many years she had shed tears, but at this moment, she couldn't stop crying. She watched the three people disappear in the hazy curtain of tears.
…
Lu Che passed through the space teleportation array, left the book world, and also left the Wuding Divine Sea, heading towards the space wormhole leading to the southern universe.
The driver was still Liao Kuo.
Wen Qingxiu sat in the car, her jade hands closed in front of her belly, her eyes rolled, and she carefully observed her surroundings.
The space inside the car is huge, like a room.
The floor was covered with incense-scented white fox fur, there were thick volumes piled on the table, and portraits of Kassapa Buddha in various poses hung on the walls.
Wen Qingxiu asked softly: "Is what Ming Jing got into related to the legendary painting?"
The man in black raised his head, without a hood on his head, revealing his true appearance, and said, "Do you know about this?"
It was none other than Zhang Ruochen.
To be precise, it is a clone of Zhang Ruochen.
Wen Qingxiu shook her head and said: "It's just a guess! I don't know that he is related to this painting. If I knew, I would definitely send him to the Sword Realm as soon as possible and hand him over to Di Chen."
"Before coming here, I didn't have high hopes. But since he chose to escape from the book world, it shows that he really knows something."
In Zhang Ruochen's opinion, Xu Mingjing must have just heard about the painting when he returned to the Xu family, and knew that the matter had shocked the universe. Liao Kuo visited at this time, how could Xu Mingjing not connect the two things?
Come together?
When he fled the book world, he was hiding from Liao Kuo.
He has obviously realized that as early as two thousand years ago, Liao Kuo's approach to him and his friendship were related to this matter.
The selfless lamp is hung on the roof of the deer cart, covering up all auras, heavenly secrets, and cause and effect.
This most complicated and difficult lamp to refine was made by Ming Zu in order to counteract the immortal. Before Gong Nanfeng returned to his time, he told Zhang Ruochen this secret.
With the Selfless Lamp, you can avoid the immortal's perception and do what he wants to do.
This is the true meaning of the word "selflessness"!
All the precautions Zhang Ruochen took when he returned to the Wuding Divine Sea were all for the eyes of the immortals lurking around him. Only in this way could the other party let down their guard and think that everything was under control.
