Chapter 205: Appearance
In the eyes of the Eight Eyes Divine Sect, those killings were all done by Elder Fusong. Facing a Douxiao Realm strongman, they could only swallow their anger.
That's why the Zhenhong Taoist dared to stay outside the town and wait for an opportunity to act.
"Since this person knows the movements of the Jintai priests, he must have some connection with the secular mortals."
Gu Xiuyun thought to himself.
Zhenhong Taoist would never dare to enter the town. He could not hide the fluctuations of spiritual power in his body. If he was discovered by the priests of the Divine Sect, he would surely die.
In this way, he could only use the eyes of mortals to investigate the movements of the Divine Sect.
Following this line, Gu Xiuyun investigated all the way down.
Plop!
The courtyard door opened, and inside was a group of poor mortals in ragged clothes.
On one side of the courtyard.
Two men with naked upper bodies and only a piece of linen tied underneath were hammering the iron block together. Next to them was a child under ten years old, struggling to pull the bellows.
Not far from them, there was a group of women standing back to back, embroidering robes with their heads down.
The clothes of these women could not cover their bodies at all, only the front half, so they had to stand back to back to cover each other.
And those iron blocks and robes were their livelihood.
After removing the impurities in the iron blocks and hammering them into fine steel swords, they could sell them to wealthy families. A sword was worth three taels of silver.
Gu Xiuyun pushed open the wooden door, but did not attract the attention of the man and the woman. They were all concentrating on hammering the iron blocks and embroidering the robes.
Only the child turned his head and looked at him.
"Dad, someone is coming!" the child shouted.
The man raised his head, "Do you want to buy swords? Sorry, all the weapons in the shop have been reserved. You have to wait three or four days before you can get new ones."
At this time, four or five teenagers ran in from outside, each holding a large bundle of cabbage branches.
Cabbage is resistant to burning. A piece of wood can burn for a long time, which is most suitable for quenching iron ore.
"Uncle Xiguang, Uncle Liuhe, come and have a look, we have picked up many dead branches again." The leading young man had a pale face, but his eyes were full of excitement.
His clothes were torn and patched, patched and torn, and his whole body seemed to be made of rags, with no intact part.
"The war between the Divine Religion and the four great sects has put these mortals in such a difficult situation..." Looking at the excited young man, Gu Xiuyun felt even more sad.
He could see through the fate of the world, and could also sense what the mortals were thinking, so he could better understand the suffering of the mortals.
All the creatures in the world want is to be free and happy, but who can be spared in the face of the disaster?
"Tiger boy is really amazing, walking east and west, he can find so many dead branches. Now the civilians of the three major countries are gathered on the banks of the Chonghua River, and it is really not easy to find some dead branches." The man was full of joy.
"After selling this batch of swords, I will buy you a pound of fat meat, and everyone can share it." Another man said with a smile.
"Wow, there's meat to eat again!" The teenagers cheered.
Hearing the sound, the mortals in the other rooms came out, their eyes full of envy and desire.
There were about a hundred people living in this compound.
There were more than a dozen people crowded together in each room, and several families including Uncle Xiguang and Uncle Liuhe lived in the same room.
Looking at the cheering teenagers, Gu Xiuyun's eyes flashed with a strange light.
In an instant, he saw the boy's past, how he found the dead branches, and how he took the dead branches, broke through the hungry wolf-like eyes, and returned to the courtyard.
"So, he borrowed the hands of these children... Just a few dead branches, he wanted the life of the Jintai priest?" Gu Xiuyun was sad and angry.
These teenagers were the eyes and ears of Zhenhong Taoist.
Who would have thought that the teenagers wandering on the street would tip off Zhenhong Taoist?
Those teenagers had no idea who they were informing and what consequences they had caused. All they wanted was a few dead branches.
"No matter how hard life is for the mortals in the secret world, they can still live freely on the ground. But what about the mortals in Youning City, Anning City, and the eight cities of Chu County?"
"They don't know what flowers are, what grass is, what mountains, rivers, and lakes are, in their entire lives? In the eyes of the four great sects, what are those mortals?"
Gu Xiuyun sighed in his heart and walked out of the courtyard silently.
"Hey, the guests left?"
"Maybe they went to other places to buy swords!"
"Although there are a lot of iron ores near Chonghua River, there are few branches and wood. It's not easy to buy a sword!"
"Never mind him, we have so many cabbage branches, we can last for another three or four days!"
...
Following the invisible line of fate, Gu Xiuyun walked all the way, and walked about thirty miles before he came to the place where the boy picked up dead branches.
There was nothing here except sand and stones, but the boy happened to find many cabbage branches here.
Looking at the chaotic footprints on the ground, Gu Xiuyun's eyes turned completely dark. Every piece of sand and stone has its own line of fate.
At this moment, he focused all his attention on this area.
Every grain of sand, every stone, turned into a fate line, intertwined with each other, with no end in sight.
The fate line of those sands and stones should have been a straight line, extending from the endless
ancient past to billions of years later.
But not long ago, a tiny ripple appeared.
These rippled sands, twisting and winding, extended to a distant place.
"Zhen Hong, you are hiding nearby."
Gu Xiuyun put his two fingers together, and a faint spiritual power condensed on them. Then, two immortal prohibitions appeared around him, namely Mi Guang Dun and Li Chen Dun.
Both types of restraints are filled with Taoist aura, and as soon as they take shape, their bodies are completely covered.
Whoosh!
Gu Xiuyun disappeared on the spot, leaving only a vague shadow that escaped into the distance.
After a stick of incense.
When he stopped, he was already three hundred miles away.
There is faint spiritual power coming from the sand dune more than ten feet high.
As if sensing an abnormal sound, the dune shook violently, and then three or four figures rushed out at the same time.
"Want to leave? It's a little late."
Gu Xiuyun flicked his sleeve, and the spiritual realm covered a hundred feet in radius, including the hill. At the same time, fourteen spirit turtle black armor sticks flew out at the same time, condensing into a trap formation.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
Those figures collided with the spiritual barrier of the trap and shattered into pieces. Not one of them was Master Qi's true body.
"Junior, how dare you appear in front of me by yourself?" The sand dunes trembled, and Master Qi's figure walked out from the depths, "It's just the second level of Kaimai, and you want to deal with me with just a formation? That's too much Don’t overestimate your capabilities!”
"Really?" Gu Xiuyun looked indifferent, "I would like to ask for advice on what the core disciples of the Weak Water Sect can do!"
"snort!"
Uncle Qi suddenly clapped his hands forward, and the two palms were condensed into a shape, which was half a foot in size. They pressed against Gu Xiuyun from both sides, as if they were going to squeeze him into a meat pie.
With the blessing of the fourth heavenly spirit realm, the power of the two palms continued to grow, and the speed became faster and faster. Until they came to Gu Xiuyun, they were already glowing red.
That was the scene where the fire spiritual power was about to explode.
Peng!
The two palms came together, and the huge impact caused ripples in the void.
With a violent roar, the strength of his palm collapsed, and a smile appeared on Master Qi's face.
"It's just the second level of Kaimai. In front of my spiritual realm, I can't even dodge. I really overestimate my capabilities."
But at this moment, the smile on his face froze.
After the strength of his palm collapsed, Gu Xiuyun stood on the spot, with a faint spiritual light flashing around him, and he actually withstood this powerful palm.
"The palm strength of the fourth level of Kaimai is also very ordinary." Gu Xiuyun said quietly.
