After exchanging pleasantries with Shi Weiyi, Jiang Beiran began to look around the Gu cave.
Completely different from the previous Gu hole, there seemed to be no signs of humans being captured in this Gu hole, and it even looked quite clean.
But the strange thing is that Jiang Beiran didn't find anything special here after walking around.
'A secret room again?'
Jiang Beiran absolutely did not believe that a place pointed out by two key clues at the same time could be so ordinary.
So he walked back to the center of the Gu cave and took out the Four Symbols Bright Heart Plate from the Qiankun Ring.
"Crash la la la..."
This time, the pointer in the center of the four-symbol heart disk started to rotate rapidly again.
'There is indeed a problem...'
And just when Jiang Beiran was about to put away the Four Symbols Heart Disk, the pointer suddenly paused when pointing to [Dui]. Although it quickly continued to rotate, Jiang Beiran was sure that the point where it paused was absolutely correct. It's not an accident.
'The horse is the god, the five elements are gold, the human relationship is the father...'
And just when Jiang Beiran was analyzing why the Four Symbols Ming Heart Pan suddenly paused, the pointer paused again for a moment, and this time it pointed to Kun...
'Um?'
As the top magic weapon produced by the ancient tomb, this four-image clear heart disk is undoubtedly the best among compasses, but after all, it was borrowed by Jiang Beiran and has only been used a few times in total, so I am not yet able to master it.
But when the compass stopped in the direction of [Xun] for the third time, Jiang Beiran suddenly understood.
Because this direction is exactly the direction he came from, which is pointing to the Gu point just now.
'Could it be that……'
With the new clue, Jiang Beiran immediately looked at Shi Weiyi and said, "Sage, do you know where the other Gu points are?"
"This..." Shi Weiyi was stumped for a moment, "Because we are now in the search stage and cannot determine the location of all Gu points."
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran immediately picked up the jade pendant and said, "Senior Gu Liang, this junior has something to ask."
Soon, Gu Liangqian's reply came from the jade pendant, "Just tell me."
"How many Gu holes have been discovered so far?"
"Currently, there are seven places in total."
After listening to this, Jiang Beiran spread out the large map of Tong State on the ground and continued to ask: "Can you tell me the specific location?"
"Yes, the first Gu hole discovered was in Xixingtuo, followed by Boyi Town, Liwangzhuang..."
After marking the place names mentioned by Gu Liangqian on the map one by one, Jiang Beiran's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"The last one is Yu'an Village. These have been discovered so far. Do we need to speed up the search?"
"No, this is enough. Thank you, Senior Gu Liang."
After hanging the jade pendant back on his waist, Jiang Beiran completely understood what was going on.
The other six Gu caves marked on the map are all around Lanwu Gorge, and can even be said to completely surround it in the center.
In combination with Qimen Dunjia, these places chosen as Gu points are not completely randomly selected, and they completely combine the three oddities and six rituals.
In this way, the situation is very clear. The organizer used Lanwu Gorge as the formation eye and deployed a super large formation. Therefore, if you want to reveal the secret of this Gu cave, you must use this super large formation. The formation has to be broken open.
But how can a super-large formation be broken so easily? This is definitely a huge project, and Jiang Beiran really doesn't have the time to continue spending time on it now.
After thinking for a moment, he used the jade pendant to transmit the message again: "Senior Gu Liang, I am in Lanwu Gorge now. Please ask Master Situ and Master Xue to come over."
"Okay." Without any unnecessary questions, Gu Liangqian directly agreed to Jiang Beiran.
After about a cup of tea, Situ Zhi and Xue Yongqing, escorted by two Xuanzuns, arrived in front of Jiang Beiran.
Stepping forward and cupping his hands towards the two of them, Jiang Beiran first returned the Four Elephants Ming Xin Plate to its original owner, and then told them all his findings.
"The organizers do have some tricks." Situ Zhi looked at the map and nodded slowly.
"This kind of super large formation is your strength, so I would like to ask you two to help me break this formation."
Hearing this, Situ Zhi looked at Jiang Beiran with some surprise and asked, "Master Jiang won't stay with us to explore such an interesting formation?"
"Of course I do. It's just that there are too many things to deal with in Yuancheng, and I don't have enough time to do it."
After hearing this, Situ Zhi laughed loudly and said, "That's really hard work, Master Jiang. Don't worry, I'll leave this formation to me."
"Okay, I feel relieved with Master Situ's words, so I'll take my leave now."
After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he bowed his hands to several Xuanzuns and said: 'Thank you all for escorting me all the way. I have to go back to Yuancheng now. I'll see you all later.'
"See you later." Several Xuanzun said at the same time, cupping their hands towards Jiang Beiran.
After getting on Feifu and letting Shi Fenglan return, Jiang Beiran looked at Dahu who was still floating behind him and said, "I'm going to a very far place next. Do you want to follow me or stay here?"
"Although I can't be of much help...but I still ask my benefactor to take me with you!"
"good."
In fact, souls are sometimes very useful. After all, so far, only extremely special cultivators like ghost cultivators can see them. Others, even if you are as powerful as Xuansheng, cannot detect them at all.
So it's quite useful to have Dahu follow you around as a scout or something.
Feifu quickly returned to Yuancheng. Jiang Beiran opened the door and walked directly into the meeting hall and said: 'Everyone, get ready to go.'
Wei State, Shetie Mountain, Qianji Palace.
"Master Mu! The blood vessels in Lord Lingfeng's body have ruptured!"
'Seal it with Xuan Qi first! Three Yuan! Take two ancient spirit pills and feed them to Lord Ling Feng!'
"yes!"
"Master Mu, Kuang Tianzun's right arm has begun to shrink again!"
"Go to Mr. Zhu, he is good at treating this."
"But Mr. Zhu went to Xicheng just now."
"Damn it! Inject a tube of Prajna Water into his arm first, and I'll come right away!"
"yes!"
…
In a magnificent hall, a group of pharmacists were trying their best to rescue several Xuansheng who had fallen into coma.
After Mu Kai inserted a silver needle into Zhao Zongsheng's temple in front of him, he took a long breath. Just as he was about to get up to deal with Kuang Tianzun's injuries, he saw Zhao Zongsheng coughing up a large mouthful of black blood.
"how so!"
Without enough time to wipe the black blood spattered on his face, Mu Kai quickly took out a knife and scratched Zhao Zongsheng's chest, releasing a large amount of bruises.
"Zong Sheng! Zong Sheng! Control your consciousness! Never fall asleep! Stay awake! Stay awake!"
As Mu Kai spoke, he kept using golden needles to stimulate various acupuncture points on Zhao Zongsheng's body, but it was of no use. Zhao Zongsheng's body was completely ill, and the profound energy in his body had been devoured by the miasma and turned into the most life-threatening poison.
Just when Mu Kai was at a loss what to do, dozens of golden talismans were suddenly attached to Zhao Zongsheng. At the same time, an old man with an immortal spirit came over and chanted: "The fight must be as wonderful as floating clouds, and the light must be as majestic as the king!"
The next second, sixteen golden talismans burst out with light at the same time, instantly suppressing the raging miasma in Zhao Zongsheng's body.
"Continue to treat, I can help you hold on for a while!" the immortal old man shouted.
"Okay, then you have to hold on a little longer!" After Mu Kai said that, he took out two elixirs and stuffed them into Zhao Zongsheng's mouth.
"Everyone evacuate quickly! Hurry!!!"
Just when Mu Kai was about to cut open Zhao Zongsheng's belly, a middle-aged man rushed into the hall and shouted.
For a moment, everyone was stunned on the spot.
Then the one who reacted the fastest immediately asked: "We are already at Tongtian Peak, where can we evacuate!?"
"Go to Huanyu Hall! Hurry! If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
"Boom!" "Boom!"
While the middle-aged man was talking, bursts of explosions came from outside.
At this time, Kuang Tianzun, who was suffering from the pain of tearing his right arm, opened his eyes and said: "They...are back again!?"
Today, those Gu cultivators did not attack as usual, so he took advantage of this gap to come back to treat the injury. Otherwise, even if his right arm was completely disabled, he would still have to be at the forefront.
Now that he heard that those Gu cultivators were back again, Kuang Tianzun's expression became serious.
After hearing this, the middle-aged man replied: "Yes, and this time their offensive was like crazy. The sect master and the others could not stop it for a while."
"Sure enough, good luck doesn't happen continuously."
After Kuang Tianzun finished speaking, he stood up suddenly. The old man who was treating his injuries hurriedly said: "Tianzun, your hands are still..."
"There's no time to treat it, so just make do with it. You go quickly, I'll guard you here."
Hearing the sound of the explosion getting closer and closer, all the Xuan Art Masters had no choice but to sigh heavily, lift up the injured and run towards the side door.
…
In another hall, an old man with red and purple skin turned his head and looked out the window with all his strength, and said: "Gu Xianweng, hasn't the time you mentioned come yet?"
Behind the old man, Gu Liangren, who was holding an orange cat, nodded and said: "Holy Lord, don't worry, it's quick, it's quick."
Looking at Gu Liangren's confident look, Wu Zizhen would have definitely jumped up and punched him if he hadn't been terminally ill.
In fact, Gu Liangren told him a year ago that there would be a great disaster in Weiguo, but he didn't know the specific time.
As the most prestigious hexagram master in the mainland, even Xuan Sheng did not dare not listen to Gu Liangren's words, so Wu Zizhen hurriedly asked Gu Liangren how to solve this calamity.
After hearing this, Gu Liangren replied: "There is no solution."
This made Wu Zi really confused.
‘No solution!? Do you mean you’re dead?’
"Could it be that this saint can only lead his neck to be slaughtered!?"
"No." Gu Liangren shook his head, "The reason why there is no solution is that I am incompetent and cannot figure out how the Wei Kingdom can avoid this disaster. But as long as the Holy Lord makes perfect preparations, it is still possible to survive this disaster.
The one who preserved the Wei Kingdom."
"Xianweng, can you tell me more carefully?"
"Do your best and obey destiny."
With just these six words, and the fortune-telling that Gu Liangren did for him later, telling him that the key to defeating the situation lies behind the Qianji Palace, Wu Zi could be said to have spent all his resources investing in the Qianji Palace during this whole year.
The Xuan Art masters in Qianji Palace were stunned when they saw Wu Zizhen's enthusiasm. Although their status in the Wei Kingdom had never been low, they were not as high as this.
Wu Zizhen just gave them whatever they wanted.
There is only one requirement for them, and that is to maximize the defensive performance of Qianji Palace.
Because Qianji Palace has quite a lot of "high-end customers" and will not conflict with those sects, its own security is still very high.
So when hearing Wu Zizhen's request, the Xuan Art Master of Qianji Palace was a little confused, but he still complied.
After all, it is always right to prepare for a rainy day, and who can guarantee that Thousand Machines Palace will always be safe?
Therefore, while using money to do things, Qianjidian reinforced the inner and outer three floors several times this year. Wu Zizhen was very satisfied after hearing the report from Qianjidian.
With the blessing of various top-level mechanisms, formations, and mysterious structures, the Thousand Machines Palace can now be said to be impregnable. Wu Zizhen even felt that it would take a lot of effort to attack it with a group of mysterious saints.
But whenever he asked Gu Liangren whether this level of defense was enough, Gu Liangren's answer would always be one sentence.
"Do your best and obey destiny."
This made Wu Zizhen feel a little unsure, so he had no choice but to let the mysterious artists of Qianji Palace continue to strengthen Qianji Palace over and over again until the day when the miasma struck...
Facing this catastrophic disaster, the Xuansheng of the Wei Kingdom could be said to be completely defeated. In the miasma, they were like their hands and feet were tied up, and their five senses were shielded, while those Gu cultivators were even more powerful.
Naturally, the ending was that he was beaten unilaterally by those Gu cultivators.
When he understood that this was the "tribulation" that Gu Liangren called, Wu Zizhen immediately summoned all Xuansheng and took everyone to hide in the Thousand Machines Palace.
Under the heavy defense of Thousand Machines Palace, the Xuanshengs relied on the blessing of various formations and mechanisms to repel the waves of Gu Xiu's attacks.
But because no one could cure the miasma, all the Xuanshengs of the Wei Kingdom became weaker and weaker with each war. Even with all kinds of blessings, they could not survive at all, and they all retreated to the rear to cultivate.
Without Xuan Sheng participating in the defense, the three-layer defense circle outside Qianji Palace was also completely breached, forcing all the Wei people to retreat to Tongtian Peak, the last defensive fortress.
But fortunately, during the past few days of delaying by relying on the formation mechanism, the Xuanyi masters of Qianji Palace worked together and finally found a way to slightly alleviate the miasma, and Xuansheng of the Wei Kingdom regained the strength to fight.
Only then can we continue to resist.
During this period, Wu Zizhen found Gu Liangren countless times and asked him how long it would take for Qianji Palace to turn around.
But Gu Liangren always gave him only one answer.
"Soon, soon..."
Now that they were completely cornered, Gu Liangren still said this, making Wu Zizhen completely lose his temper.
Let's talk about his magic stick. If he hadn't been reminded to strengthen the Thousand Machines Palace, they would have been slaughtered by those Gu cultivators long ago. Even if he was really good at calculating, all his calculations were half-baked.
"well!"
Wu Zizhen sighed heavily. Now his body was completely disabled. It could be said that he had done everything he could and the rest was just like what Gu Liangren said.
'Just listen to fate...'
"Rumble..."
At this time, the hall suddenly shook violently, and Wu Zizhen knew that Gu cultivators had already attacked the core of Tongtian Peak.
"Meow~"
At this time, a meow and Gu Liangren's laughter suddenly came from behind Wu Zizhen.
