Two treasure maps

The old man gently led Guo Lingli into a room carved from crystal clear jade. Each piece of jade emitted a faint light, making the whole room full of mystery and solemnity. He asked Guo Lingli to sit on a chair, then brewed a cup of fragrant tea for her and served her a plate of exquisite snacks.

Guo Lingli was really hungry. Her stomach had been empty since she entered the Taiji Palace. On the crane's back or in the cabin of the Jade Flying Boat, Taoist Shanlan always prepared food for her generously, but in the Taiji Palace, it seemed as if all the food had disappeared, making her almost faint from hunger.

The old man turned away for a while, and when he came back, he changed into a simple Taoist robe. If the old man in the previous illusion was just an incarnation of Taishang Laojun, then the one standing in front of Guo Lingli at this moment was the real Taishang Laojun himself. He transformed into an ordinary golden boy and quietly came to the courtyard prepared for Guo Lingli.

Guo Lingli's eyes fell on the Taoist robe of the old man, and she suddenly said in surprise: "It turns out to be Taoist Shanlan?" There was a hint of disbelief in her voice.

Taishang Laojun was slightly stunned, and then he understood. It seemed that the Taoist robe he was wearing was the one that was damaged when Taoist Shanlan was on a mission. He just wanted to find a simple piece of clothing, but he didn't expect that it would cause Guo Lingli to misunderstand. Since the misunderstanding has already occurred, let this misunderstanding continue.

So, Taishang Laojun smiled and said, "How can you still recognize me?" His tone was full of teasing.

Guo Lingli replied with a smile: "I left seeds on your Taoist robe, so you should recognize it naturally." There was a gleam of intelligence in her eyes, as if everything was under her control.

Taishang Laojun secretly sighed in his heart, this child is really smart. However, now is not the time to explain these. He laughed and said, "I suffered too much loss in this mission and was punished to farm. I didn't expect to meet you again." He deliberately let the misunderstanding continue.

Guo Lingli's heart was filled with doubts, like a tangled mess that needed to be untied. When she saw Taoist Shanlan, she could no longer hold back and asked the question in her heart in one breath: "Taoist, is the contract between you and Guo Fengli just to obtain the treasure map on her body?"

Taishang Laojun looked at her, wisdom gleaming in his eyes. He smiled and said, "What do you think?" There seemed to be some deep meaning hidden in his words.

Guo Lingli asked anxiously: "Then what exactly is this twin formation between us that you mentioned? This makes me very confused."

Taishang Laojun then said seriously: "Relax a little, let me show you what the twin formation between you is all about." As he said that, he stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Guo Lingli's wrist.

Guo Lingli felt a gentle force coming from her wrist. She asked curiously, "So you can break this formation? I thought you couldn't do it."

Taishang Laojun smiled slightly, and did not answer directly, but focused on checking Guo Lingli's wrist. He suddenly found that Guo Lingli was wearing a golden dragon bracelet on his wrist, which made him stunned for a moment. He was secretly surprised in his heart, no wonder the strong wind in the strong wind well did not cause any harm to Guo Lingli, it turned out that this golden dragon bracelet silently endured everything.

He observed carefully and found that the scales of the little golden dragon in the golden dragon bracelet were cut into pieces, and it was seriously injured and dying. This made him feel shocked by the power of this golden dragon bracelet.

Zi Yan Yu Nu thought that unless one was practicing the Taiji Palace's techniques, the Gangfeng Well would be useless to them, which was obviously wrong. The positive and negative Gangfeng in the Gangfeng Well would not recognize anyone, no matter who you were, you were its nourishment.

Taishang Laojun was puzzled. Why did Gangfeng let Guo Lingli go? This was also an unsolved mystery for him. Otherwise, he would not have tried Guo Lingli so many times as soon as he found her.

Guo Lingli thought that the Supreme Lord was checking her pulse, so she didn't say anything and continued to enjoy the snacks on the table. She thought these snacks were very delicious and ate them with gusto.

Taishang Laojun watched her eat and had a new understanding of her appetite. You know, the tea and snacks in the Taiji Palace are all full of fairy spirit. Ordinary cultivators may explode and die even if they drink a sip of tea, let alone eat so much. However, Guo Lingli was like a bottomless pit, eating and drinking so easily, which made him more curious about her physique and cultivation.

After Taishang Laojun's in-depth investigation, his brows gradually furrowed. In Guo Lingli's body, he did find traces of Zhang Tianshi's twin formation. But surprisingly, this was not a simple twin formation. Someone cleverly superimposed a more advanced anti-twin formation on the original basis.

This positive twin formation, like an invisible bond, tightly connects Guo Lingli and Guo Fengli. Whenever Guo Fengli is hurt, she herself is safe and sound, and all the pain will be silently transferred to Guo Lingli. However, the anti-twin formation is even more bizarre. It does not break the setting of the positive twin formation, but when Guo Lingli is seriously injured, Guo Fengli's life will quickly disappear like a candle in the wind. This is simply a fatal killing move, which makes people unable to defend against it.

Taishang Laojun suddenly understood why Guo Lingli always behaved so kindly. If she showed any murderous intention, the people around her would probably die. She carefully protected the lives of her loved ones. Was this also due to deep loneliness and desire? She actually wanted someone to accompany her, but this desire was buried deep in her heart. So, did she know the reason? Did she still remember why she had this physique that plundered life in her previous life?

Taishang Laojun gently released Guo Lingli's hand, with a gentle smile on his face: "Don't worry, the twin formation will not have much impact on you as you become immortals and mortals."

Guo Lingli heard this and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes: "Does this mean that both of us are safe?"

"Yes, you are all safe." Taishang Laojun nodded affirmatively.

"That's good. I thought this twin formation required one person's death as the price to unlock it." Guo Lingli breathed a sigh of relief and said with a pout.

Upon hearing this, Taishang Laojun couldn't help but wonder: "Do you know this twin formation?"

Guo Lingli nodded and said, "I heard from my father and brother that one must go through a life and death catastrophe to unlock it."

Taishang Laojun frowned and continued to ask: "Do you care about Guo Fengli's life?"

Guo Lingli was silent for a moment before she spoke slowly: "Actually, she is not my twin sister, nor do we have the same father or mother. She can only be considered my cousin. If my life is really filled with her life, I don't think I can bear such a heavy cause and effect."

After hearing this, Taishang Laojun felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. He pondered for a while and thought to himself: "Cause and effect? ​​Could it be that she was a Buddhist in her previous life?"

This thought flashed through his mind, and Taishang Laojun felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. If Guo Lingli was really a Buddhist in her previous life, then all of this might have a reasonable explanation. Buddhists pay attention to cause and effect and reincarnation. This special connection between them might be the continuation of the cause and effect of their previous lives.

Just a Buddhist practitioner? Forget it! Since she is such a good candidate, she should be the Jade Maiden of my Taiji Palace. Thinking of what Taoist Shanlan said to Guo Pu, yes, this is the Jade Maiden of my Taiji Palace who sneaked down to the lower world and reincarnated in Guo Lin's family.
