Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 354
"After you escaped from the 'Liuhe Sealing Immortal Formation', Her Royal Highness contacted me immediately," He Yiqun explained with a smile on his face, "She said, because you colluded with ghosts and intended to plot rebellion, your majesty is against you." You have issued a killing order, hoping that I will arrest you and take you to the imperial city for punishment.

"I said at the time that the Great Qi Dynasty was full of talented people, including powerful imperial guards and exorcist officials with unique skills. How could I need an idler like me?
"Her Royal Highness's explanation is that you can disappear silently in front of Wang Guanyu, obviously you have mastered a powerful space spell.

"But since you haven't reached the realm of a saint, and you have consumed a lot of real energy in the 'Luoshui Conference' and the battles in Luojing City, the distance you can travel through space can only be within a hundred miles or so.

"Hehe, with my magical power of 'shrinking the ground into an inch', I can just play with you in the palm of my hand.

"In addition, Her Royal Highness also emphasized that from your previous performance in various cases, it can be seen that you are a very cautious person. Before you run away, you will definitely throw away everything that has cause and effect with the Daqi court. Prevent being tracked.

"But there is only one thing, even if you die, you will still carry it with you.

"That's the pill."

Hearing the word "elixir", Gu Xu's heart was shocked, and he had to sigh from the bottom of his heart, Princess Zhaoning's guess was really accurate.

When he was an official in the imperial court, he only felt that this woman was beautiful, broad-minded, and knowledgeable, and he had some appreciation for her, but that was all.

Now that he is an enemy, he really understands the horror of Her Royal Highness—precisely controlling people's hearts, calculating practitioners with a mortal body, sitting in the mansion, but driving him to a dead end a hundred miles away.

Pills are indeed Gu Xu's lifeblood.

Without the pill, he has no future.

At the same time, Gu Xu also noticed that Princess Zhaoning mentioned the "battle in Luojing City", obviously knowing about his actions of killing demons and demons after Luojing City was broken.

Knowing that he stood up to fight against the ghosts, he was still arrested on the charge of "colluding with ghosts"-this shows that Emperor Tianxing's unambiguous authority in the Daqi Dynasty is enough to reverse right and wrong.

"You may not know that in order to prevent people from stealing or illegally buying and selling pills," He Yiqun continued, "all the pills issued by the Daqi court have a secret and imperceptible mark. Once there is a problem, you can Tracking by marker."

He Yiqun's words reminded Gu Xu of the serial numbers on banknotes in his previous life - many criminals who stole cash were eventually traced because of these serial numbers.

Unexpectedly, the Daqi Dynasty also had such means.

"This mark...shouldn't be realized through the technique of talisman seal?" Gu Xu asked.

Under normal circumstances, if there are talisman seals hidden in the pill, as a senior talisman cultivator, it should be impossible for him to not notice it.

"Of course not," He Yiqun replied, "According to Her Royal Highness, it is a secret technique unique to the Daqi royal family.

"However, I don't know the specific details. I just found your location based on the information Her Highness the Princess gave me."

Gu Xu stopped talking.

He understands that even if he reads through the practice classics, there are still many blind spots in his knowledge in this world—for example, the "royal secret art" that He Yiqun said cannot appear in books.

At the same time, he also deeply felt how difficult it is to fight against a country with a deep foundation with the strength of a man.

It is simply a net of heaven and earth, and it is difficult to fly with wings.

After a brief silence, he smiled bitterly, and raised his hands towards He Yiqun: "Okay, Mr. He, I have finished asking my questions. You have the mysterious magical power of 'shrinking the ground into an inch', and it is impossible for me to run away." faster than you.

"Just, after you bring me back to Luojing City, can you please send a message to my fiancée?"

"Of course." He Yiqun readily agreed.

Ever since he witnessed Gu Xu comprehend "Yingyan" in a quarter of an hour last year, He Yiqun has always admired this young genius.Now that Gu Xu has become a traitor out of nowhere, he also feels very sorry.

Now, Gu Xu should have given up resistance and started to confess his last words.

When he was desperate, he was still thinking about his fiancée. It could be seen that he was a person who valued love and righteousness.

"Please tell Xiaohan for me," Gu Xu's voice was a little choked up, and his eyes were slightly red, "I can't accompany her until the end of life like I promised before. I hope... I hope she won't be hurt because of me." It's sad, but life always has to look forward. I believe that she will definitely become a hero who slays demons and slays demons in the future..."

He Yiqun listened patiently.

He's an easy guy to empathize with.When Gu Xu uttered his last words, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for the pair of young fateful mandarin ducks, lamenting that good fortune makes people miserable.

However, before Gu Xu finished speaking, a raging fire suddenly burned in the forest, covering the sky and covering the ground, covering He Yiqun's sight.

Immediately afterwards, countless black ripples appeared in the air, like ripples on a calm lake, and like an invisible iron cage, enclosing He Yiqun inside.

He Yiqun found that not only did he lose Gu Xu's whereabouts, but also his magical power of "shrinking the ground into an inch" was also limited by the distance - the range of his instant movement could not cross these black ripples.

"Careless, careless," he stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, shook his head and sighed, "I was confused by the kid's acting skills.

"This kid only has a fourth-level cultivation, but he can cast such an exquisite space spell... What a monster!"

He took out the Jade Talisman of Communication, ready to ask Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoning about Gu Xu's whereabouts.

He secretly swore that the next time he caught up with Gu Xu, he would never listen to another nonsense from him, and he would act resolutely and tie him back to Luojing City.

…………

at the same time.

Gu Xu is holding the "star disk" in his hand, and flies rapidly in mid-air.

The bitter "last words" just now are undoubtedly a temporary performance by him, the purpose is to let He Yiqun temporarily relax his vigilance.

Immediately after that, he took out nearly fifty "Fire Flame True Talismans", created a mighty forest fire, and built a space cage with the power of "Qian Kun".

Although He Yiqun can use the magical power of "shrinking the ground into an inch" to travel through space, he is essentially a talisman cultivator and is not proficient in the laws of space.

It can be understood that "shrinking the ground into an inch" is a car given to him by God. He Yiqun can drive it, but he doesn't understand its mechanical structure and operating principle.

However, Gu Xu's "Qian Kun" authority directly touches the essence of the law of space.

In terms of running, there is a high probability that Gu Xu is not as fast as He Yiqun.

But he can use the law of space to trap He Yiqun in place, making it impossible for him to catch up to him for a while.

While running away, Gu Xu did not forget to take out bottle after bottle of pills from "Xianyunju", and threw them all the way into the deep forest ravine.

His heart was bleeding with pain.

But no matter how precious the pill is, it cannot compare to his own life.

As long as he can escape from this desperate situation, there will always be a way to get new pills in the future.

Since Gu Xu's true essence is not full, his spatial cage cannot last for too long.

But this short period of time was enough to make him escape He Yiqun's sight.

After two consecutive narrow escapes, fatigue has come from all directions like a tide, penetrated into his skin and flesh, poured into his limbs, mouth and nose, making him limp and light, as if he would feel tired all the time. May fall headfirst.

But he still supported his body with strong perseverance, kept his mind clear, and never dared to relax his vigilance for a moment.

After a while, he flew to a deep and winding canyon.

This canyon is made of purple-red stone sandstone, with jagged cliffs and scattered pools and waterfalls.Its narrowest point is only two or three meters wide. When you look up, you can only see a ray of skylight between the two cliffs.

At this moment, two more people appeared in front of Gu Xu one after the other, blocking his way.

These two are also old acquaintances of Gu Xu.

In front of him was a young man dressed in a brocade robe, with tough features and a dignified appearance.Gu Xu knew that this person was Xiao Shangyuan, the eldest prince of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Behind him is an old man with white hair in a cloth shirt, who is obviously the enshrinement of Da Qi's royal family and the personal entourage of the eldest prince, Fan Cheng.

"Brother Gu Xian, long time no see!" The eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan greeted Gu Xu first with a smile on his face.

Don't look at his friendly and kind expression, but when he opened his mouth, he had already displayed the "Tianlong Domain", blocking Gu Xu's way in all directions.

Gu Xu looked at him quietly, and the phantom of the five-clawed golden dragon shining brightly behind him, without saying a word.

He still remembered that when he met in Qingzhou Mansion last time, His Royal Highness admired his talisman skills very much, and wanted to bring him under his command to help him fight for the succession to the throne.

Unexpectedly, when they met this time, the two stood on opposite sides——

One is a nobleman of the royal family, and the other is a criminal of the imperial court.

"Brother Gu Xian, I have always recognized your talent in cultivation," Xiao Shangyuan continued, "I expected you to win the 'Luoshui Conference' today.

"I thought that one day, we could work together to create a glorious and prosperous world, eradicate ghosts and stabilize the world together.

"It's just that I never expected that you would play a very disgraceful role in today's disaster."

Gu Xu still didn't respond.

The few true essence he had left were galloping and roaring in his meridians, like a wild horse running free.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiao Shangyuan smiled, and continued: "Actually, today, you first escaped from the 'Liuhe Sealing Immortal Formation', and then escaped from He Yiqun's pursuit. I was surprised. In the process of escaping, such a monk will explode with such amazing power.

"But fortunately, Princess Zhaoning has long expected that with He Yiqun's cynical character, it is very likely that the task will be regarded as a game, and you will slip away if you are not careful.

"So she notified me again, asking me to use the 'Empty Breaking Orb' to block you in Qingyao Mountain.

"Father has a strong killing intent towards you.

"If I take you back, then both the father and the 'Tai'a sword' in his hand will definitely have more affection for me."

While talking, Xiao Shangyuan stretched out his hand and pointed lightly at Gu Xu, and the five-clawed golden dragon behind him suddenly rushed towards Gu Xu with the momentum of shaking the sky and the earth.

Fortunately, Gu Xu was well prepared.

He immediately mobilized his true energy and performed the seventh form of "Seven Burning Heavens", "Firefly Flame".

Last year, he had a discussion with the fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen in "The Realm of Discussion of Dao", and he knew that the "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven" had obvious restraint effects on the "Dragon Heart Sutra" practiced by members of the Daqi royal family.

In an instant, countless dots of orange-red light appeared in the canyon, like fireflies flying in the fields in summer night.

In front of Xiao Shangyuan's five-clawed golden dragon phantom, these firefly spots seemed very dim and small.

But when the two forces collided, it was the majestic five-clawed golden dragon that staggered back.

It let out a mournful roar, and then shattered, turning into sparkling shards of light all over the sky.

But at the same time, Gu Xu also became extremely pale due to overdrawing his true energy.

He braced his strength and floated in the air, like a solitary boat in a storm.

But Xiao Shangyuan is not fighting alone.

When Gu Xu was fighting against Xiao Shangyuan with the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", more than a dozen sharp ice ridges "swish" from behind him, piercing his chest, abdomen and throat like wind and electricity.

This spell, named "Chuan Ning Frozen Haze", is one of the unique skills mastered by Fan Cheng, enshrined by the royal family.

A sixth-level monk and a fifth-level monk who practiced the "Dragon Heart Sutra", and the two joined forces to deal with a fourth-level monk.

But Gu Xu's eyes were still calm.

Today's battle is not a friendly exchange of ideas, but a battle of life and death.

The enemy will not pay attention to the so-called "fairness" with him.

He has already made up his mind to use the "substitute bracelet" that Luo Sishou gave him to resist the fatal blow from behind, so as to buy time.

However, after a while, Fan Cheng's ice edge did not stab his body as expected.

Gu Xu turned his head in surprise, and saw two familiar figures appearing in this canyon out of thin air.

One of them was wearing a tall hat and a flowered robe, with white powder on his face and red nose, he looked like a clown on a stage.

This person had a funny smile on his face, and used his "Giant Star King" dharma body to block Gu Xu's "Chuan Ning Frozen Haze".

The other was a young woman in a blue costume.She wore a gorgeous headdress, her face was so heavily powdered and made up that it was impossible to see her true appearance.

"It's someone from 'Qing Ming' who came." Gu Xu thought to himself.

Not long ago, on his way to Daguguan lava cave, he was chased by three masked men in black—now confirmed to be the "ghost attendants" of the Mangshan ghost king.

At that moment of life and death, it was these two people who claimed to be from the "Qingming" organization that suddenly appeared beside Gu Xu, drove away the "ghost attendants" in black, and helped Gu Xu out of danger.

But today, the two of them became Gu Xu's savior again.

"you……"

"Sorry, the rescue came late," the woman in Tsing Yi smiled apologetically and said to him, "Master Gu, come with me."

The word "rescue" in the mouth of the woman in Tsing Yi seemed to confirm Gu Xu's identity as a traitor.

But Gu Xu couldn't care less.

Although he doesn't fully trust this "Qingming" organization, he is now at the end of the day.Instead of staying in the canyon to die slowly, it is better to gamble on the position of "Qing Ming" and fight for a chance of survival.

So, he grabbed the woman in Tsing Yi's arm, and the woman in Tsing Yi took out an "Empty Breaking Orb" and crushed it.

Accompanied by a flash of light, the two disappeared in place together.

At this moment, Gu Xu could no longer resist the exhaustion of body and mind.

When the surrounding scenery turned into blurred blocks of color, his legs were so weak that he couldn't support him, all his thoughts were confused, and he couldn't think about anything anymore.

Before he could see where he was teleported, he fainted to the ground, and his consciousness fell into the deep darkness.

　The second volume should be finished tomorrow.
