Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 692: Go and give this letter to me two years ago

Sometimes, Ye Huang often felt that his mentality was very strange.

In the past, Ziwei tried to please her in every way, but she just thought he was being noisy.

Now, Ziwei never takes the initiative to look for her unless there is something important to discuss. Instead, she is full of curiosity about him.

She couldn't help but wonder, this person in front of her, his soul and karma all indicated that he was Ziwei, why was his temperament completely different from Ziwei? How did he quietly replace the brilliant and powerful man thousands of years ago?

But it was not convenient for her to ask Gu Xu directly.

"Even if you don't mention it, I will protect your life," Ye Huang said calmly, "If you die, I will have no chance to rescue my sister and avenge my dead compatriots."

"Then I'll have to trouble Your Majesty Emperor Ye." Gu Xu said with a smile.

After saying this, he suddenly remembered something important. After a brief pause, he asked again, "Your Majesty, can your authority of 'secrets' really hide anything from the world? Does it have any weaknesses?"

Hearing this, the corners of Ye Huang's mouth slightly raised, revealing a playful smile: "You ask me about the weakness of authority? For practitioners, this is a top secret related to life and the path. Why should I tell you directly? If you know it, won't you be able to control me in the future?"

"We are now on the same page," Gu Xu repeated what she had said before, "I need to know the limits of the 'Secret' authority and what I need to pay attention to when using it, so that my clone can do a better job in the Lingxiao Realm.

"If you help me, you are helping yourself."

Ye Huang narrowed his golden eyes and stared at him sharply without responding immediately.

"If you tell me, I will be more confident in finding out information about Jiang Zhaoyue, and maybe even find a chance to rescue her." Gu Xu continued.

Ye Huang's expression softened slightly.

She pondered for a moment and said, "There are several flaws in 'Secret':

“First, in front of someone with a much higher level of cultivation than you, its effectiveness time will be greatly shortened, and there is a certain chance that someone will be able to see through it.

“Secondly, it cannot take effect within the Dao Principle field of other eighth-level strongmen.

"Third, it cannot take effect in front of people who do not belong to this time and space."

"Someone who doesn't belong to this time and space." Gu Xu repeated these words in his mind several times, feeling a little puzzled.

The first thing he thought of was his identity as a time traveler.

But a few days ago, when he saw the crow with golden eyes, he was slow to recognize it as the Night Emperor in disguise - this obviously proved that his guess was wrong.

So what does this mean?

Could it be...

A bold guess suddenly flashed through Gu Xu's mind.

…………

The next morning, Li Yun was summoned to Changchun Garden to meet the emperor.

At this time, Li Yun was already a cultivator of the fourth realm.

He was wearing the bright red robe of the Purple Mansion Army, with a long sword hanging from his waist. Compared to a year ago, he looked more stable and mature.

Although Li Yun admired the current emperor very much, he had never had the opportunity to communicate with him alone.

Most of the time, when His Majesty was inspecting the Zifu Army, he stood among a group of his companions, gazing from afar at His Majesty's handsome, majestic figure, as if he were a god descending from the clouds to the earth.

"For the Great Wilderness, compared to the 'God' in the past, the current emperor is more like a real god," Li Yun often thought in his heart, "People have worshipped 'God' for so many years, but the Great Wilderness is still plagued by ghosts and monsters, and the people are living in misery.

“But your majesty has only been on the throne for a little over a year, and the world has already undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Not only can the common people have enough food and clothing, and no longer have to worry about ghosts and monsters invading their homes, but even the monks can practice with peace of mind, and no longer be corroded by evil spirits and worry about going astray."

Because of this, when an eunuch came to the mansion to inform him that His Majesty wanted to summon him alone, Li Yun felt flattered. He took a bath and changed his clothes, carefully smoothed out every wrinkle on his clothes with his true energy, combed his hair smoothly, and made sure his hat was straight, before he stepped out and headed for Changchun Garden.

Changchun Garden was quiet, with only the faint rustling sound of wind blowing through pine and cypress trees in the distance.

Han Shunxi had been waiting outside the garden gate. When he saw Li Yun arriving, he led him all the way to the emperor's study.

When they reached the door, Han Shunxi stopped and said softly, "His Majesty is already in the study. Lord Li can go in directly without being restrained."

Li Yun took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, stepped over the threshold and walked into the imperial study.

The room was spacious and bright. Sunlight filtered through the high windows and shone onto the floor, illuminating the volumes of ancient books on the bookshelves.

The young emperor sat behind his desk, looking down at the memorials with a focused expression.

"Your Majesty, I, Li Yun, greet you!" Li Yun clasped his hands together and saluted respectfully.

Hearing the voice, Gu Xu put down the brush in his hand and looked up at him.

His eyes were calm and gentle, not aggressive.

However, under that gaze, Li Yun felt as if everything about him was seen through and all his secrets were exposed.

Looking at Li Yun in front of him, Gu Xu had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

It is now deep winter.

After New Year’s Eve, it will be the third year of Yuanshi.

He clearly remembered that the time point when he traveled to the future through the East China Sea Guixu and destroyed the "Tower of Babel" with his own hands was the "third year of Yuanshi".

The sky was pitch black and the air was slightly chilly, like early spring or late autumn.

At this moment, Li Yun's appearance quietly overlapped with the figure of the red-robed man in his memory.

"Li Yun, I have an important task for you."

As he spoke, he handed a finely crafted golden scroll to Li Yun.

Li Yun immediately took it with both hands.

"I need you to go to Kunlun Mountain and guard this position at the foot of the mountain. Soon, you will meet a person who looks exactly like me - that is me two years ago," Gu Xu continued, "Take him and walk a few miles northwest along the mountain road, where there will be a group of people building a formation.

"I need him to destroy that formation - he is the only one in this world who has the ability to destroy that formation."

As he finished speaking, a golden light flashed from his fingertips and then sank into Li Yun's head.

Li Yun immediately understood the exact location of the place he was talking about.

But what Gu Xu said left him somewhat confused.

He didn't understand why the Majesty from two years ago appeared in front of him?

Why does Your Majesty need your former self from two years ago to destroy that formation?

  Why was it that only Your Majesty two years ago could complete this task, but Your Majesty today cannot do it personally?

……

He felt that there must be some shocking secret behind this matter.

But since His Majesty did not say it clearly, he did not dare to ask too much.

"By the way, go and give this letter to me from two years ago."

After a brief silence, Gu Xu took out a secret letter from his sleeve and handed it to Li Yun.
