Chapter 783 Sweetness
"Black Magic Sect?" Ye Linglong frowned slightly, "Why are they here?"
"It's a long story," Zhao Linger coughed lightly, her face pale, "Let's leave here first."
Gu Jiuchen nodded, waved his hand, and the three of them turned into three streams of light and disappeared into the sky.
After returning to the Tianxian Sect, Zhao Linger told the whole story in detail. It turned out that she accidentally got an ancient jade slip, which recorded the legend of the ancient artifact "Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Mirror" and clues to its whereabouts. After the Black Magic Sect got the news, they chased her all the way and wanted to snatch the jade slip.
"Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Mirror, the legend has the power to destroy the world," Ye Linglong murmured to herself, a trace of worry flashed in her beautiful eyes, "If it falls into the hands of the Black Magic Sect, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Don't worry, Linglong, I'm here, no one can think of it." Gu Jiuchen held Ye Linglong's hand with a firm look.
In the following days, Gu Jiuchen, Ye Linglong and Zhao Linger studied the contents of the jade slip together, trying to find more information about the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Mirror".
"Linglong, look here, this picture seems to be some kind of astrology." Gu Jiuchen pointed to a pattern on the jade slip and said to Ye Linglong.
Ye Linglong leaned in and looked at the pattern carefully. Her slender fingers gently brushed across the surface of the jade slip, feeling the ancient breath left on it. "I seem to have seen this constellation somewhere before"
"I remember it!" Zhao Linger suddenly exclaimed, "I have seen a similar record in an ancient book. This constellation is called Seven Stars in a Row, which is rare in a hundred years. It is said that only when the Seven Stars in a Row appear, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Mirror will appear!"
"Seven Stars in a Row" Gu Jiuchen looked up at the night sky outside the window, and his heart moved, "If I remember correctly, seven days later, it will be the night of the Seven Stars in a Row, which only happens once in a hundred years!"
"So, we only have seven days!" Ye Linglong looked solemn, "We must find the whereabouts of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Mirror as soon as possible!"
"Without further delay, let's set off now!" Gu Jiuchen made a prompt decision.
The three packed up their luggage, flew up on their swords, and flew in the direction indicated by the jade slip.
Seven days later, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the stars were dim.
In a desolate valley, Gu Jiuchen, Ye Linglong and Zhao Linger held their breath and looked up at the night sky.
The originally dim starry sky suddenly became bright, and seven stars emitted dazzling light, forming a straight line across the sky.
"Seven stars in a row, appeared!" Zhao Linger exclaimed.
At this moment, a strong breath rushed up from the depths of the valley and pierced the sky!
"There!" Gu Jiuchen's eyes were like torches, and he instantly locked the source of the breath. With a flash of his figure, he flew towards the depths of the valley.
Ye Linglong and Zhao Linger followed closely behind, and the three of them turned into three streams of light, leaving traces in the night sky.
Deep in the valley, a fog shrouded the valley, and the wind was blowing, revealing a strange breath. Gu Jiuchen slowed down, and his consciousness spread around like a tide, vigilantly observing the surrounding environment.
"Be careful!" Ye Linglong exclaimed softly, and with a wave of the long sword in his hand, a sharp sword energy broke through the air and killed several monsters hidden in the fog.
"These monsters are just minor characters. The real danger is still to come." Gu Jiuchen said in a deep voice, his eyes fell on an ancient altar in front. The altar was engraved with mysterious runes, emitting a heart-pounding power.
"The Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Mirror is on this altar!" Zhao Linger pointed to the center of the altar and said excitedly. There, a ball of red flame was suspended, as if it had life, beating with scorching light.
"If you want to get the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Mirror, you must first break the seal on this altar." Gu Jiuchen frowned slightly and walked towards the altar.
"Jiuchen, be careful!" Ye Linglong reminded worriedly.
Gu Jiuchen nodded, signaling her to be at ease, and then quickly formed seals with both hands, muttering something. As he moved, golden runes flew out of his hands and merged into the runes around the altar.
Boom!
The altar shook violently, the runes around it emitted a dazzling light, and a powerful repulsive force attacked Gu Jiuchen.
"Break!" Gu Jiuchen shouted, and the spiritual power in his body circulated wildly. The golden runes shone brightly, resisting the repulsive force.
After a moment of stalemate, there was a "click" sound, and the runes around the altar finally couldn't bear the weight and shattered inch by inch.
The seal was broken!
Gu Jiuchen jumped up, flew onto the altar, and reached out to grab the red flame.
The blazing flame seemed to have spirituality. The moment it touched Gu Jiuchen's palm, it turned into a stream of light and drilled into his body. Gu Jiuchen only felt a vast force surging in his meridians, and the originally stable state was actually loosened. A strong pressure emanated from him, shocking everything around him.
Ye Linglong and Zhao Linger stared at this scene in amazement, their eyes full of shock and joy. They knew that Gu Jiuchen succeeded and he was recognized by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Mirror!
"Congratulations, husband, congratulations, husband!" Ye Linglong flew forward, with tears of excitement in her eyes.
Gu Jiuchen held her in his arms, feeling her joy, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.
"Today we got a treasure, it's a double happiness." Gu Jiuchen stroked Ye Linglong's hair and said softly, "Why don't we dance together under the moonlight to celebrate?"
"Okay!" Ye Linglong agreed happily.
The moonlight poured down like water, covering the two of them in a silvery glow. Gu Jiuchen took Ye Linglong's hand and danced in the valley. Their dance is elegant and light, like a couple of gods and gods, which is fascinating.
Zhao Ling'er stood aside, looking at the happy appearance of the two people, with a happy smile on her lips.
However, at this beautiful moment, a strange breath came quietly. A figure wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat, whose face could not be seen clearly, appeared quietly at the entrance of the valley. He stared at Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong with cold eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised a cold arc. The figure in black robe slowly approached, the moonlight shone on his bamboo hat, but could not illuminate his face. Gu Jiuchen noticed something strange, stopped dancing, protected Ye Linglong behind him, and stared at the visitor warily.
"Who are you? Why are you so sneaky?" Gu Jiuchen asked in a deep voice.
The man in black robe sneered and slowly took off his bamboo hat, revealing a familiar face. It was Xuan Feng who had been away for many days.
"It's me." Xuanfeng's tone was cold, his eyes swept over Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong, and finally fell on Zhao Ling'er, with a hint of ridicule, "I wonder who is so elegant. It turns out that the master of the Tianxian Sect is here in front of the flowers and under the moon."
Gu Jiuchen frowned slightly, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart, "If you don't stay well in Tianyan Sect, what are you doing here?"
"Of course I'm here to tell you a secret." A sneer appeared on Xuanfeng's lips, "A secret about your most beloved woman."
Gu Jiuchen's heart tightened, and Ye Linglong subconsciously grabbed his hand and looked at Xuanfeng with doubts.
"What do you mean?"
Xuanfeng ignored Ye Linglong's question, but looked directly at Gu Jiuchen and said word for word: "Do you know that your good wife has secretly colluded with Zhao Wuji and has betrayed you long ago!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunder that exploded in the ears of the three people.
Ye Linglong looked at Xuanfeng in disbelief as if struck by lightning, then turned to look at Gu Jiuchen, only to see that he had a gloomy face and said nothing, and her heart suddenly became cold.
"Jiuchen, do you believe what he said?" Ye Linglong's voice trembled, and tears filled her eyes.
Gu Jiuchen had mixed feelings in his heart. He loved Ye Linglong deeply and didn't want to believe that she was this kind of person. However, Xuanfeng said it with certainty and produced the so-called "evidence": a jade pendant, which was said to be Ye Linglong's personal belongings. , but appeared in Zhao Wuji's secret room.
"Linglong, do you have anything to explain?" Gu Jiuchen avoided Ye Linglong's gaze, with an imperceptible tremor in his tone.
"Explanation? What do I need to explain?" Ye Linglong smiled bitterly, "Zhao Wuji and I are at odds with each other, how could we collude with him? This is clearly a deliberate frame-up!"
"Framed? Then tell me, why is your jade pendant in Zhao Wuji's hands?" Xuanfeng sneered, "Did he steal it?"
Ye Linglong was speechless. She had no idea why this jade pendant was in Zhao Wuji's hands, let alone how to explain it.
"Linglong, you" Gu Jiuchen looked at Ye Linglong's flustered expression and became even more confused. Did she really betray him?
"Gu Jiuchen!" Ye Linglong suddenly raised her voice, and the tears in her eyes could no longer hold back, "Would you rather believe an outsider than me?"
