Chapter 1031 Tianyuan invites, Shattered Star asks for help
"Is this... a token from the Tianyuan Sword Sect?"
Seeing the small sword that was only an inch in size, Gu Xiu raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Mr. Yunlu in surprise. Mr. Yunlu did not keep him in suspense and spoke directly:
"The Tianyuan Sword Sect's Sword Sacrifice Ceremony is about to begin. This is something the Tianyuan Sword Sect sent us to pass on to you."
"We still have to hold the sword sacrifice ceremony now?" Gu Xiu was a little surprised.
As early as before the demise of Qingxuan, he had received an invitation to the Tianyuan Sword Sect's Sword Sacrifice Ceremony. Even for this trip to Zhongzhou, Gu Xiu had planned from the beginning to go to the Tianyuan Sword Sect after his trip to Mo Han Tower. However, due to the Four Divine Beasts Secret Realm and the emergence of the Three Yuans Sea of Sin, he was temporarily unable to go.
In fact, the Tianyuan Sword Sect was obviously also affected by this sudden change. The sword sacrifice ceremony that should have started long ago could not be successfully started before.
In this situation, many people are actually speculating that the Tianyuan Sword Sect should give up this sword sacrifice ceremony. However, they did not expect that when the demon pillar appeared and the Three Yuans Sea of Sin could threaten Haoyu at any time, the Tianyuan Sword Sect chose to start the sword sacrifice ceremony.
He even asked the academy to send this to him?
"The old Sword Saint is just like the Master. Both are people who care about the world and stand at a very high level. It is normal that their every move is difficult for ordinary people to guess. But since that senior chose this time to do this, I think there must be a reason. Fellow Daoist Gu only needs to go as promised."
"Just like you and Guan Qiyu watching chess."
Mr. Yunlu spoke with a hint in his mind, and Gu Xiu naturally understood. He was just watching the chess talk. Others might not know, but Mr. Yunlu and the great scholar Tao Hong both knew clearly that the Xuanwu body had been controlled by him and temporarily left and hid. This certainly could not escape the other party's eyes, but since the other party did not say much, Gu Xiu naturally would not say much either.
Seeing that he was still wearing an unconcealed sorrow, Gu Xiu subconsciously glanced at the twenty-eight golden characters: "Mr. Yunlu, my condolences..."
"You are probably not familiar with Senior Tao Hong, right?" Mr. Yunlu suddenly asked before Gu Xiu finished speaking.
Gu Xiu paused and said, "This junior and the great scholar Tao Hong are indeed not familiar with each other. This is only the first time we meet. However, when I was studying, I once read the works of Senior Tao Hong."
Gu Xiu is not young, but compared with those famous people who have already become famous, he seems too young. When many brilliant predecessors attract attention from all sides, they are still distant from the people of later generations.
This is the case with the great scholar Tao Hong.
Gu Xiu didn't know much about him. Although he had read a few books and learned some principles, he was not really familiar with him.
Mr. Yunlu smiled and said, "It's better to be unfamiliar with him than to feel sad and overwhelmed with emotion."
Gu Xiu was surprised, but Mr. Yunlu had already said again: "Although Madam Black Spider's lies are misleading, she did say one thing correctly."
"The great scholar Tao Hong has indeed reached the end of his life, and there are indeed few people in this world who recognize him."
"Like many scholars in this world, he once devoted his life to studying the classics, yet also remained unknown. He published books and biographies, earning the reputation of a great scholar. But on the very day he achieved this status, he had a conversation with the Master, and from then on, he chose to retire to the mountains, never to write any more books or biographies, nor leaving behind a single word. Do you know why?"
Gu Xiu was puzzled and shook his head.
"The master feels that writing books and biographies, encouraging people to be good, to learn, and to follow the ways of a gentleman, is ultimately just a minor path."
"Then what is the Great Dao?"
"The path that suits you is the great path."
"The path that suits me..." Gu Xiu murmured, feeling somewhat shocked.
"The Confucian saying goes, 'A gentleman is not an instrument,' meaning that a gentleman's heart should not be like a vessel, limited to a specific purpose. But Mr. Xu is different. He insists on becoming a tool with his own body. This idea was opposed by many people in the academy, even me."
"But now."
"His idea actually came true."
After saying this, Mr. Yunlu smiled and turned to leave, leaving Gu Xiu standing there in a daze.
He seemed to see a silent old man who had stored all the ups and downs of his life in his chest. Finally, at the moment when he was needed, he regarded the knowledge, character and even life accumulated over thousands of years as a stone for asking questions, and burst out without reservation, turning them into these 28 golden words that governed the world.
Use your body to become a useful person!
After a long time, Gu Xiu bowed again towards the twenty-eight golden words.
He did not say anything else, but he had gained some new insights in his heart. This great scholar, whom he was not very familiar with, gave him a deeper understanding of Tao.
Road.
Maybe there is no need to be so rigid and harsh in following the rules.
The path under your feet is the great road!
After the ceremony, Gu Xiu did not hesitate any longer and turned to head out of the Immortal Burial Valley.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the valley, he saw a one-armed old drunkard waiting on a bluestone for a long time. He had two glasses of sake in front of him and was making a slight gesture towards Gu Xiu.
"Gu Xiu greets the senior."
Gu Xiu stepped forward and was about to salute, but the old drunkard had already stepped aside and waved his hand, saying, "You are the chosen one of Mo Han Lou, so you don't have to salute me. It's not that I can't bear it, but since you have done this salute, I have to return it."
Gu Xiu smiled, but did not insist. He picked up the wine glass and drank a glass with the old drunkard.
"Actually, I was planning to take you away and revive Mohan Tower, but I changed my mind in the end."
"Oh?"
"You are the destined person of my Mo Han Tower. This status will never change. However, Mo Han Tower is in ruins and there must be a lot of trivial matters. Asking you to go with me will only delay you."
"Thank you for your understanding, Senior."
"Hahaha, I understand, I understand. As an old drunkard, I naturally understand." The old drunkard laughed and added more wine to both parties' glasses. When Gu Zhengzheng raised his glass to drink the second glass of wine, the old drunkard's voice transmission came:
"I don't think you know much about your background. If there's a chance, I can try to investigate it."
When these words came out, Gu Xiu's eyelids slightly raised, but he remained silent, because the old drunkard's voice transmission had not yet ended:
"The red-robed ancestor who participated in the battle to annihilate Qingxuan had been to Zhongzhou before. It is said that he went to Tianyuan Sword Sect after that. After that, there was no news. You are going to Tianyuan Sword Sect next. You can investigate and see if you can find any clues."
"But there's one thing you need to remember."
"No matter what the outcome is, unless it's absolutely necessary, remember not to let anyone know your background!"
“Remember, it’s anyone!!!”
These words made Gu Xiu stunned. He looked up and saw a serious look in the old drunkard's eyes. Although Gu Xiu had doubts in his heart, he did not refute it at this moment. He just nodded heavily to indicate that he would take note of it.
"Okay, I should have another drink."
"But the old man likes to keep some memories. Let's drink this third glass of wine next time we meet."
The old drunkard laughed, waved at Gu Xiu, and then turned and left.
Gu Xiu took a look.
He found that he was already standing on a warship with the flag of Baiyu Tower. Zhenren Baiyu, who was standing next to the old drunkard, was staring at him with his eyes. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes seemed to be saying something.
I'll keep an eye on you!
Always!
This inexplicable hostility made Gu Xiu a little puzzled. Glancing over, he noticed another cold gaze.
It’s Ji Qinghan.
Her eyes seemed to say a thousand words, yet seemed to say nothing.
Gu Xiu didn't understand.
He just nodded at the other person and turned and left.
When he completely stepped out of the Burial Valley of Immortals, a flickering green light began to appear on Gu Xiu's face. He did not stop, but immediately controlled the Sword of Crossing the Immortals, transformed into a rainbow of light and quickly fled away. He did not move away from the Burial Valley of Immortals until he was completely away from it. After making sure that no one was following him, Gu Xiu found a secluded and uninhabited cave and rushed in.
With a casual throw, several formation flags and talismans flew out. After confirming that everything was correct, Gu Xiu broke into the cave and sat cross-legged.
According to the agreement between him and Demon Eye Guanchen.
In fact, he should have tried his best to enter the Taiweiyuan just now.
But in the end he gave up, not because he wanted to break the contract, nor because he wanted to delay for three months before lighting the next soul lamp, but because he discovered.
Perhaps I don’t need to enter Taiweiyuan to obtain Taiwei Divine Fire in advance!
