Chapter 219 The Light of Origin
"This is..."
Gu Wudi was surprised. His original intention was to let the immortality tree go down to show off, so that those golden funeral masters would not doubt his identity.
When the burial abyss was opened in the past, the creatures who brought the immortality medicine here were all for the treasures under the burial abyss. It would be unreasonable for the immortality tree not to go down.
Who would have thought that this old tree would actually bring up an ancient artifact.
One of its branches tightly wrapped an ancient vessel, which seemed to be made of bronze. The pattern on the surface was blurred. I don’t know how long it has gone through. At first glance, it is an extraordinary funeral vessel, surrounded by the light of death all year round, and there is that kind of terrifying aura.
The surrounding golden funeral masters all showed envious looks. They also wanted to bring the immortality medicine to get the treasure, but unfortunately, the elders did not allow it.
You know, the burial abyss is full of terrible death light, especially the mysterious ancient chaos cave. Even funeral masters who like death cannot touch it, and it will take away the life mark of creatures at any time.
Only the elixir of immortality can resist the light of death, go down to the burial abyss, and take away the dusty artifacts and treasures inside, because they can resist time and live as long as the world, and they have the wheel of immortality in their bodies, so they can survive under the illumination of that light.
However, even so, the elixir of immortality has to pay a big price.
Just like the immortal tree at this moment, its breath has weakened a lot. There were several fruits hanging on the branches, but now two of them have disappeared out of thin air.
Obviously, it paid a certain price under the burial abyss.
"Sir, the important thing is not this burial vessel. Although the burial vessel is powerful, it is only for the funeral master, and it has no great effect on you. What is important is what is in this vessel." The immortal ancient tree transmitted the sound and gave a reminder.
Gu Wudi was shocked when he heard this, and immediately cast his eyes into the vessel. The surface of the opening was covered by the immortal ancient tree, and others could not see it. It was only open to Gu Wudi.
After seeing what was in the vessel, Gu Wudi's eyes showed shock, and he thought of many things in an instant.
I saw crystal clear, nine-color sand lying quietly in the vessel, overflowing with nine-color light from time to time, constantly changing, looking extremely sacred, as if coming from the kingdom of immortality, with a breath of origin.
"Origin?"
He was a little unbelievable, how could these sands have the same characteristics as the origin ancient artifact?
"Yes, it is the origin ancient artifact. There is not only one in the foreign land, but also one in the burial land. Just now, I saw an ancient temple under the light of death. The nine-color light overflowed from the ancient temple. These sands have been illuminated by that light for many years and have been assimilated, and have some of the same characteristics.
And this characteristic is fatal to our immortal medicine. If the contact time is too long, even the immortal year wheel will dissolve and collapse. Therefore, I can only find a vessel to hold it, and I dare not collect it directly." The immortal ancient tree said slowly, knowing a lot about the origin ancient artifact.
Gu Wudi was surprised and expressed his gratitude to the immortal ancient tree. The nine-color sand with some origin characteristics is indeed very useful.
You know, his true body had been eroded by the ancient curse of origin, and the traces of darkness in his body could not be eradicated. This nine-colored sand might be of great benefit to his spirit.
Just as Gu Wudi was concentrating on the sand in the bronze vessel that released the nine-colored light, suddenly, the nine-colored light came from the air, acting on his head and trying to enter his soul.
This power is very overbearing, omnipresent, and impossible to resist. The light is diffused and wants to blend with Gu Wudi's soul.
He naturally would not let the nine-colored light do what he wanted. He just shouted lightly, and three flowers of the avenue appeared on his head, dripping with sacred fairy light.
I don't know if it's because the level of the nine-colored light is too high, which stimulated the other two flowers of the avenue. The looming figure on it suddenly became solid, and opened his eyes at the same time as the gas body figure in the middle. At this moment, it affected the long river of time and stirred the fog of cause and effect. A force descended and forced out the nine-colored light.
After doing all this, the flower of the avenue representing the spirit body and the divine body fell silent again, and the figure sitting cross-legged on it disappeared, turning into a faint fairy air, floating there.
Gu Wudi was still in shock. Just now, his soul was almost robbed and eroded by the nine-colored light. If it really happened, the spirit of the qi body would probably be detained and locked in a dark cage, but the new dark soul would take its place and walk the world in his place.
"Young Master, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" The immortal ancient tree wrapped around his arm clearly sensed the terrifying fluctuations just now. It took action in time, enlarged its body, isolated from the outside world, and concealed the movement of Gu Wudi.
Seeing Gu Wudi calm down, the immortal ancient tree was worried, because during the years in the burial area, it knew many secrets.
There was a burial king who didn't believe in evil and broke into the burial abyss to explore the secret of the origin ancient artifact. In the end, he returned safely, but his temperament changed drastically, as if he had become a different person, and he had no idea that he had broken into the burial abyss. Such a change made the burial kings feel scared. No one wanted to become another person, or to be occupied by someone else.
The situation just now was exactly the same as the legend, so the immortal ancient tree was naturally worried.
"I'm fine. I was almost invaded by the light of origin. Fortunately, I was able to force it out without any danger in the end." Gu Wudi responded.
Then, he knew the actions of the immortal ancient tree and covered up his breath when he cast the spell.
The outside gold funeral masters thought that Gu Wudi was trying to find out the secret of the bronze vessel and deliberately covered it up, so no one came forward to interfere.
"Thank you."
"You are too kind, sir. You will become a peerless and powerful person like the master in the future. How can you be in danger in the burial area?" The immortal ancient tree replied.
Gu Wudi was filled with emotion when he heard this. When he traveled to this world, he had encountered danger and was fortunately saved by the immortal fruit juice. Now, the immortal ancient tree has done so much for him. This is a great cause and effect, and he must repay it in the future.
"You were exposed to the light of death and the light of origin, and you are seriously injured. Go back and rest. I will take care of the next thing." Gu Wudi said.
The immortal ancient tree nodded. It was indeed seriously injured. It consumed two immortal fruits to offset the killing calamity and did not endanger its life.
When Gu Wudi opened the entrance to the small world of chaos, the immortal ancient tree drilled in without hesitation, took root in the top fairyland and began to recuperate.
As soon as it left, the longevity mist that lingered around Gu Wudi quickly dissipated and disappeared into thin air.
"Brother Gu, how is it? What era is that burial vessel from?" Sanzang and others came over, and they were all very interested in the ancient vessels unearthed from the burial abyss.
Generally speaking, there are very few top-quality burial vessels that are ejected on their own. Top-quality burial vessels are basically sunk under the burial abyss, and you need to bring longevity medicine and go down to the burial abyss to fish them out.
Therefore, the golden funeral masters naturally believed that the bronze vessel fished out by the longevity ancient tree was a peerless burial treasure.
At this time, Gu Wudi had already used other burial vessels to transfer the nine-color sand and gravel, and then sealed it and stored it well. The bronze vessel in his hand was already empty.
"Haha, fellow Taoists will know it at a glance." Gu Wudi was very generous. He took out the bronze vessel directly and handed it to Sanzang, asking the golden funeral masters to pass it around.
Sanzang took the bronze vessel with a solemn look, his golden hair was sacred and brilliant, fluttering in the wind, and his eyes seemed to be embedded in the bronze vessel, and he couldn't leave it.
Soon after, he showed a surprised look, as if he had discovered the secret of the bronze vessel.
"What's wrong, brother Sanzang? What is the origin of this vessel?" Shenming, Dujun and others saw his reaction and hurried over.
"You can see for yourself." Sanzang handed the bronze vessel to them.
Then, he turned around and sent a message to Gu Wudi.
"Brother Gu, can you give up this bronze vessel? I am willing to pay something of equal value in exchange, brother Gu, just speak up."
Sanzang's words made Gu Wudi's heart move, and he was a little suspicious. What on earth was the bronze vessel that made a golden funeral master so eager?
He sent a message to the ancient tree of longevity to ask, and the answer he got was related to the funeral king. It was once used for sacrifices, similar to an incense burner, but the funeral master didn't burn incense very often, and should burn other things.
"Hiss!"
Shen Ming and Luo Du took a breath of cold air, both of them noticed the extraordinary features of this bronze vessel, their eyes sparkled, and they couldn't let it go. It can be seen that they all wanted to get it.
"I'm sorry to disappoint Brother Sanzang. I also need this vessel. It's related to my future." Gu Wudi refused and deliberately tried this.
Sanzang was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he could understand that as a golden funeral master, Gu Wudi must have learned the secret of the vessel.
"That's right, the bronze vessel that has contained the Three Life Great Medicine, even if there is no residue of the great medicine left, has the breath of the Supreme Holy Land after years of infection. In addition, it is also the artifact of the Burial King, which can be called the top funeral vessel. Who doesn't want to get this kind of thing?" Sanzang shook his head and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Afterwards, Shen Ming, Luo Jun and other golden funeral masters sent messages one after another, and they were all willing to pay a huge price in exchange for this bronze vessel. However, the answer they got was the same, Gu Wudi himself also needed it.
Upon hearing this, all the golden funeral masters showed disappointment and could only give up and reluctantly return the bronze vessel to Gu Wudi.
Does he really need it? Of course not. If it was the original medicine of Sansheng Medicine, Gu Wudi might hold it tightly in his hand and not let go. However, this is just a funeral vessel stained with the smell of Sansheng Medicine. It is very useful to the funeral masters, but useless to him.
The reason why he rejected everyone is that there are many people here and there are only one thing. He can't split it and divide it equally among everyone. Besides, one person is enough to go to a foreign land, and there is no need for so many. The more people know that he has a cause and effect with Everlasting, the more disadvantageous it is for him.
The journey to the Burial Abyss to get the treasure ended like this. Gu Wudi became the biggest winner and got the most amazing bronze vessel among all the funeral vessels.
However, no golden funeral master envied or hated him, because Gu Wudi could have such a harvest entirely because he brought a longevity medicine, and when he took the funeral treasure, he did not use the eight-faced burial stone, which made the golden funeral masters quite fond of him.
"Congratulations, Brother Gu, for returning with a full load. After returning from this trip to Zangyuan, I will enter a deep sleep. I don't know when we will meet again, maybe after a thousand years." Dujun sighed. He was tall and had blood-red hair. He was a very powerful golden funeral master from the Zangwang family.
"Whether it is a thousand years or ten thousand years, we will meet again one day." Gu Wudi responded with a smile.
Everyone came to the intersection of Zangyuan Market and said goodbye one after another. They were reluctant to leave, because the lineage of funeral masters is like this, and they only meet a few times in an era.
The golden funeral masters left one after another, and in the end, only Sanzang and Shenming were left.
"Brother Gu, we are leaving too. See you in the future." Sanzang said goodbye with a smile.
"See you in the future, little sister, don't miss me." Shenming pinched the dark cheek of the female funeral master and said teasingly.
After that, the two golden funeral masters walked together and waved to Gu Wudi and the female funeral master.
However, after just a few steps, Sanzang stood still on the spot, his legs could no longer move.
Shenming was slightly surprised and stopped. The two elders had a good relationship. As descendants, the two walked very close and basically advanced and retreated together.
"Brother Gu, are you serious?"
Sanzang turned around, his face showing excitement and disbelief, accompanied by a meaningful smile.
Gu Wudi knew that if he asked Sanzang to do things for him in exchange for bronze utensils, it would inevitably arouse the other party's suspicion, because no golden funeral master could refuse the temptation of bronze utensils, but he took them out to make a deal.
"Of course, I, Gu Wudi, always keep my word."
Hearing this, Sanzang's eyes lit up.
Afterwards, he informed Shenming of Gu Wudi's message. The fairy-like woman opened her mouth wide, and her fiery red lips formed an "o" shape.
"Brother Gu... is really generous." Shenming smiled and praised, with a strange light flashing in the depths of her eyes. Obviously, she also guessed something.
However, this was all within Gu Wudi's expectations. He believed in the character of these two golden funeral masters. Shi Hao's experience in the original book explained everything. That's why he didn't look for other golden funeral masters.
"How about it, Brother Sanzang, are you willing to travel through mountains and rivers for Gu?" Gu Wudi asked with a gentle smile.
Sanzang and Shenming looked at each other and answered without hesitation: "Of course, we are very happy to serve Brother Gu."
After getting the answer from the golden funeral masters, Gu Wudi was straightforward and threw the bronze vessel to the two.
"Very good, it belongs to you two Taoist friends. By the way, she is my friend. Can you two Taoist friends take care of her for me?" Gu Wudi pointed at the female funeral master and asked through voice transmission.
"No problem, leave this little sister to me." Shen Ming licked her red lips, revealing a charming look.
Gu Wudi nodded, and then sent a voice transmission to the female funeral master, thanking her for leading the way, and asked her if she was willing to follow Shen Ming.
Being able to follow a descendant of the Burial King was something she had been dreaming of, so she agreed immediately.
