Only then did he remember the person who had been forgotten for a moment, and quickly turned around to look, only to see that the person who was holding his sleeve before had let go of his hand at some point, and was two steps behind.
She was covered in bloodstains, holding the spiritual sword in her hand and waving it tirelessly, actually blocking all the attacks in the formation without saying a word, creating a safe enough environment for him to break the formation.
Gu Yuqi has not had this experience before without any reservation in handing over his back to others to fight alongside him.
If it were someone else who did this, he would only consider the person's strength in his mind and weigh the degree of friendship he can make.
But it was Tong Yan at the moment, and because it was her, she no longer had the rational judgment in the past, and her heart was easily touched for no reason.
He pulled off the black robe on his body, stepped forward to wrap up the man who insisted, and switched their positions in an instant.
The spiritual sword instantly rose up with his thoughts, repelling the surrounding attacks and gaining a brief respite.
He said, "Wear it well to block the breath."
The formation's attacks would attack Tong Yan collectively. In addition to the ones she blocked intentionally, some of the formations locked onto her because her wounds were exposed and the smell of blood spread.
At this time, once the black robe was put on, the formation could not trace her scent, and the attack naturally turned to Gu Yuqi.
As Gu Yuqi controlled the spiritual sword, a series of spiritual lights lit up one after another, and the white and purple light completely overwhelmed the dim candlelight.
"This formation has been broken. You walked as fast as you could and destroyed the two eyes on the door." Gu Yuqi tilted his head slightly and said to Tong Yan.
Hearing this, Tong Yan glanced at the two red lights flashing past the bronze door, then looked at Gu Yuqi who had blocked countless attacks. He hurriedly said "Be careful" and immediately flew towards the bronze door.
.
The two red eyes on the bronze door only appear every few breaths, and only appear for a short half-moment. What is so special and obvious may be the eyes Gu Yuqi is pointing to.
As soon as Tong Yan arrived in front of the bronze door, she happened to encounter a red light. She didn't have time to think about whether it was a problem with her eyes. She stepped forward based on her intuition. While the light was on, she stabbed the glowing point with a sword.
Halfway through the stabbing, a red light suddenly appeared at the location where she was stabbed, and a powerful force suddenly erupted, ejecting her.
Gu Yuqi, who was coming from behind, caught the person halfway. At the same time, a sword shadow passed over them like lightning and penetrated into the other's wildly moving eyes.
After the second eye was destroyed, the bronze door shook violently, and the attacks in the corridor behind it disappeared.
Just when Tong Yan thought the door was about to open, the next moment, a sharp animal cry suddenly came from the door. The noise seemed to go straight to the brain, almost piercing her eardrums.
Then a big hole suddenly appeared on the ground. The two people's feet were empty and their bodies fell straight down. The entrance to the hole that suddenly appeared disappeared in the blink of an eye just as it came.
Due to injuries and excessive blood loss, Tong Yan fainted due to the sudden weightlessness during her fall. When she woke up again, she was already in an underground palace.
When he woke up, he found himself lying on the ground, but with the skin of some kind of monster underneath him, he didn't feel the coldness of the floor at all.
"Gu Yuqi?" She had been unconscious for an unknown period of time. Her throat was dry and itchy, making her cry particularly weak.
No one answered. Tong Yan looked around and saw someone beside a pillar behind him.
He sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, and his whole body was surrounded by golden and black auras. They were like fighting for territory. You pressed me, I pressed you, and they were torn apart.
Don't think too much, he should be suppressing the demonic energy at this moment.
In recent days, sometimes one of his inadvertent actions would stimulate a certain nerve in him. This may be the suppressive effect of golden lotus seeds.
Without the check and balance of the conflicting things, the demonic energy grew stronger, and the demonization intensified and eroded his sanity, even to the point where it began to control his sanity.
At this moment, Gu Yuqi is already an extremely dangerous person.
After all, the number of Golden Lotus Seeds is limited, and treating the symptoms does not cure the root cause. If one day the Lotus Seeds run out, or the demonic nature is too strong to suppress his demonization, he will be the first to be sacrificed to the sword.
Although she sympathizes and resents what happened to him, it doesn't mean that she wants to bet her life on him, bet that he can remain sane, and bet that he won't do anything to her after becoming a demon.
Following him is definitely not a long-term solution.
Tong Yan retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes to suppress his complicated thoughts.
After her physical strength was almost restored, she got up and walked around the underground palace to observe the environment. Except for the abstract murals on the wall, there was no more information. There were still three doors that she had not explored. The entire underground palace did not seem to be dangerous at all.
No wonder Gu Yuqi dared to meditate and adjust his breathing so confidently. He probably already knew the situation in the underground palace not long after arriving here.
Tong Yan did not wander around alone. He returned to the blanket and began to meditate to restore his spiritual power.
I don't know how much time passed, but a trace of consciousness left outside noticed the movement next door. Tong Yan then stopped the movement of his spiritual energy, opened his eyes and looked at Gu Yuqi's position.
At a glance, I saw that the man had a peaceful aura around him, his breathing was steady, and his eyes were calm. It seemed that the demonic nature that was about to stir in his body had been temporarily suppressed.
When Gu Yuqi saw Tong Yan waking up, he asked with a hint of gentleness in his cold voice, "Are you okay?"
Knowing that he was asking about his previous injury and fainting, Tong Yan smiled back.
"It's okay." After he finished speaking, he asked, "How is your health?"
Gu Yuqi: "It's okay for now."
He came over and put away the blanket for Tong Yan on the ground, glanced at the environment of the underground palace, and led Tong Yan straight to a stone door and stopped.
There were strange and confusing pictures and texts carved on the stone door. When Tong Yan first saw it, he couldn't figure out what it meant for a long time.
It wasn't until now that Gu Yuqi stretched out his hand and clicked and moved on the door that he realized that this thing was probably similar to a jigsaw puzzle. The puzzle must be unlocked according to a certain trajectory in order to open the stone door.
She understands the truth, but...
Tong Yan asked the person who was focusing on solving the problem, "How do you know how to open this door?"
Gu Yuqi said without turning around, "I saw the fragments of the sect's formation."
Tong Yan nodded clearly, thinking that the topic was over. After a while, he heard his voice suddenly ringing again.
"In the past, Master almost emptied the entire library because I was learning formations."
In fact, it was not that exaggerated. At that time, he was just buried under piles of jade paper, three layers inside and three layers outside.
Such a joking tone made Tong Yan look at him in surprise, staring at his side face, as if trying to analyze his mood at this moment from that unchanging face and eyes.
Unfortunately, she was so blind that she could only see Gu Yuqi's calmness, perhaps with a hint of nostalgia and hatred in his eyes. Unfortunately, she was at a loss for words at this moment and didn't know how to comfort him.
And language is sometimes too pale and weak.
In the silence, the stone door finally opened. Amidst the noise of opening the door, Tong Yan spoke in a low voice and quickly.
"Condolences."
Gu Yuqi didn't know if he didn't hear it or if he heard it and didn't respond. After the stone door opened, he stepped in without saying a word.
