I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

Guard like a mountain.

It is one of the secret defense methods of Tiance Mansion.

It can mobilize the power of the surrounding mountains and rivers to defend itself. If you want to attack someone protected by this technique, it will be equivalent to attacking the mountains and rivers themselves.

It is said that those with high cultivation level in Tiance Mansion can even mobilize the power of an entire continent to resist.

This technique is extremely powerful.

But there are also shortcomings.

The biggest problem is that once this technique is used, it is necessary to rely on the power of mountains and rivers for defense.

But he himself turned into mountains and rivers.

Just like Ye Hongling at this moment, she cannot move or speak, and will not be harmed, but if no one rescues her, she will be suppressed here forever.

Until the life essence completely dissipates.

This is a dangerous secret technique that should never be used lightly until the last moment.

A Jindan burned his life to perform this move, and even Lu Dongshan, who had reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, could not break it.

Fortunately.

Nian Chaoxi's strength is considered strong enough. With her method of peeling off silk threads like peeling an onion, Ye Hongling is also little by little.

Start to peel off from the state of guarding like a mountain.

at last.

When the last stream of spiritual energy poured into Ye Hongling's body, the female general, who had been motionless and blended with the mountain, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The whole person's breath became extremely weak in an instant.

She was already seriously injured and on the verge of death. It was her fellow disciples who used the "Guard Like a Mountain" technique to save her life, but she was only hanging on by a thread.

Fortunately, Nian Chaoxi was well prepared.

A pill was immediately stuffed into Ye Hongling's mouth, and then a large amount of spiritual energy was madly poured into Ye Hongling's body to help her recuperate.

At this moment, Nian Chaoxi's eyes were filled with anxiety.

She did this for only one purpose.

For Gu Xiu!

Gu Xiu is dead. No matter what the hexagram shows or what Lu Dongshan said, Gu Xiu is dead.

but……

Nian Chaoxi doesn’t believe it!

Someone like Junior Brother Gu can't die so easily. He has great blessings. Even if he really died, it wouldn't be so quiet!

This is her trust in Fuyuan!

But such trust made her unsure, and she could only place her hopes on Ye Hongling.

She couldn't speak or move before this.

But maybe she is still aware of her surroundings, and Nian Chaoxi hopes to get the truth from her!

"Wake up, wake up!"

With Nian Chaoxi's help, Ye Hongling began to recover. Amidst the calls, Ye Hongling finally opened her eyes again. She immediately stood up and bowed:

"Ye Hongling from Tiance Mansion, I pay my respects to you, Senior. Thank you for your help!"

"Ye Hongling?"

Nian Chaoxi nodded and immediately asked, "Tell me, when you were trapped here, was it possible for you to sense the surrounding situation?"

"No." Ye Hongling replied and shook her head:

"Hong Ling was already on the verge of death when she was sealed into Shou Rushan. She was previously sealed inside and was unable to perceive anything in the outside world."

"really?"

"Absolutely true," Ye Hongling replied hastily, unable to resist asking, "Would you please tell me your name, Senior? I will definitely repay you for your kindness one day!"

But Nian Chaoxi had no interest in what she said about repaying her gratitude.

His brows were furrowed.

Ye Hongling's condition was indeed dire, and it didn't seem like she was lying about not being able to sense the outside world...

So what to do next?

Junior brother...

Could he really be dead?

"senior?"

Ye Hongling's question brought Nian Chaoxi back to his senses, and he immediately asked, "Have you ever seen a white-haired monk?"

"White-haired monk?"

Ye Hongling was stunned for a moment, and the first person she thought of was Gu Xiu. "Senior, are you asking about that third-level Qi Refining cultivator who holds a wooden stick and has an aura as steady as Mount Tai?"

Holding a wooden stick?

A casual cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining?

Nian Chaoxi's heart moved: "Tell me in detail!"

"That fellow Daoist is also Hong Ling's benefactor. We met before because of a wolf demon..."

Ye Hongling was a little surprised, but the person in front of her had saved her life after all, and his cultivation was unfathomable, so she immediately spoke honestly.

What he was talking about was naturally the story from his meeting with Gu Xiu, to their reunion when he was in trouble, and then their parting ways.

only……

Hearing her words, Nian Chaoxi couldn't help but feel disappointed.

She still held out a glimmer of hope because this girl had a faint aura of her junior brother, but now it seemed that they had just walked together in the past.

"That fellow Daoist is incredibly powerful. Although he's only at the third level of Qi Refining, when I first met him, he showed no fear at all when facing the wolf demon. That made me feel that he was extraordinary."

"Later, while hiding in the cave, I saw that fellow Daoist's strength was truly astonishing. Killing enemies of higher levels was as easy as drinking water. It was effortless and pleasant."

Ye Hongling didn't know about Nian Chaoxi's loss. When she mentioned Gu Xiu, there was a hint of shock in her eyes.

Nian Chaoxi couldn't help but straighten his back.

This is about my junior brother Gu!

She is proud of it!

Come to think of it, five hundred years ago, before Gu Xiu entered the forbidden area, he was as dazzling as a meteor, and wherever he went, he was met with admiration and admiration.

It is normal that he is now practicing again and makes a small foundation-building cultivator amazed.

"It's a pity that although I saw the strength of that fellow Taoist at the time, I didn't listen to his advice. Otherwise, my three fellow brothers would not have..." Ye Hongling was a little sad.

Gu Xiu had said before that the Red Flame Black Horse would be used by the enemy, but no one took it seriously.

And the final result is.

All three of his senior brothers died in the battle. Even if it weren't for that Jindan senior brother who risked his life to defend like a mountain, he would have turned into a ghost long ago.

"Can you tell me more about him?" Nian Chaoxi asked.

Her mood was also low.

She had already blamed herself to the extreme, and now all the clues were cut off, and Gu Xiu might even be dead, which made her extremely upset.

I just hate myself for not arriving earlier.

"Tell me more?" Ye Hongling was a little surprised. "To be honest, I don't know much about that fellow Taoist either."

"You must have stayed there for many days. Don't you know anything in those few days?" Nian Chaoxi asked.

This……

Ye Hongling was a little bewildered: "That fellow Taoist rarely speaks, and we are either on our way or avoiding cultivation, so we don't really chat much."

"You rarely talk?" Nian Chaoxi was stunned.

I thought to myself, how is that possible!

Gu Xiu Ke has never been a quiet person. Every time he is with me, he talks a lot.

Until now, Nian Chaoxi still remembers it.

Five hundred years ago, every time Gu Xiu returned from traveling, he would visit his own Wentian Pavilion.

Spend the whole night with yourself on the observatory, watching the stars with yourself.

He not only looked at the stars, but also liked to tell himself all kinds of interesting things he encountered during his training, and sometimes he could even talk for three days and three nights without stopping.

How could someone like this who has so much to say...

Don’t like talking anymore?

Ye Hongling said, "Yes, that fellow Taoist rarely speaks up, and judging by his appearance, he seems to be the type who is used to being alone."

Nian Chaoxi wanted to refute this.

But just as he opened his mouth, he felt a sudden pain in his heart.

She thought of it!

My impression of Gu Xiu is mostly stuck on the time before he entered the forbidden area five hundred years ago!

At that time, Gu Xiu was loved by everyone in the sect. His master liked him, and his senior sisters loved him. Everyone was his good friend, even his relatives.

But in the past three years since I returned from self-restraint.

No one talks to him!

And he...

Gradually, I changed from the person who loved chatting and chatting with every senior sister.

Gradually, I became a person who likes silence, quietness and solitude.

all of these.

It’s all because of what happened to him after he returned from the forbidden land!!!

At this moment, Nian Chaoxi's face was extremely pale.

Ye Hongling was a little worried: "Senior?"

"It's okay." Nian Chaoxi shook his head: "Go on, I want to hear more about him."

This……

Ye Hongling pursed her lips. Although she didn't know Gu Xiu's name or background, she also didn't know much about the origin of this senior with terrifying cultivation level.

But she also understood.

This person is related to the benefactor from the past.

Figure this out.

Ye Hongling didn't know how to start. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Senior, why don't you stop asking?"

"Why?" Nian Chaoxi asked curiously.

Ye Hongling hesitated and said, "I'm afraid if I say too much later, you might not be able to accept it..."

Ok?

Nian Chaoxi was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Ye Hongling meant: "Did he talk about the past?"

"No." Ye Hongling shook her head.

"then you……"

"It's just that fellow Taoist once said something to this junior."

"What?"

Nian Chaoxi asked curiously, but saw Ye Hongling take a deep breath:

"That fellow Taoist once said so."

"The world is cruel and people are evil..."

"Rain brings dusk..."

"Flowers fall easily."
