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

Behind Gu Xiu at this moment were two women.

One of them was dressed in red and black armor, with a heroic demeanor, like a female general who was as brave as any man. The other one was dressed in white and had white hair, with eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as a painting.

The only regret is in her eyes.

Full of sadness.

These two people are none other than others.

It was Ye Hongling and Nian Chaoxi who had just arrived in Yunxiao City!

In the past few days, Nian Chaoxi has been traveling with Ye Hongling. Although Ye Hongling has always insisted that the junior brother Nian Chaoxi mentioned is not the same person as the benefactor she met at the beginning.

But the results are minimal.

Nian Chaoxi, on the other hand, was silent all the way, like a walking corpse that had lost its soul. Although Ye Hongling didn't understand what had happened, she could see that he was in an obviously bad condition, so she could only carefully bring him to Yunxiao City.

When she heard the word "Junior Brother", Ye Hongling just glanced at the front casually.

Then he hesitated and whispered:

"Senior, stop shouting. If your junior fellow apprentice sees you, he will definitely come looking for you immediately."

Since entering the city, Nian Chaoxi has called out "Junior Brother" more than once. At first, Ye Hongling thought that Nian Chaoxi had really seen her Junior Brother.

But I found out later.

She was just in a state of dismay, murmuring and calling out.

It seemed that she wanted to use this method to try to call back her junior brother.

This scene.

Ye Hongling sighed when she saw this.

Nian Chaoxi, who was standing next to him, laughed miserably at Ye Hongling's persuasion: "He won't come back. He...he won't see me..."

This……

Ye Hongling was bewildered and didn't understand the reason. She could only comfort him:

"How could that be? Senior, you care about him so much. If he knew, he would be so touched that he wouldn't want to see you."

"Why don't we find a place to stay first? I also need to contact my master."

Seeing that Nian Chaoxi did not respond, Ye Hongling had no choice but to continue moving forward with Nian Chaoxi.

Whether it is Ye Hongling or the distraught Nian Chaoxi.

Neither noticed.

A middle-aged monk wearing a crane cloak and holding a feather fan passed by the two of them.

From beginning to end, he was just an ordinary passerby.

But actually.

He is none other than Gu Xiu!

Looking at Nian Chaoxi who was gradually walking away and occasionally calling out "Junior Brother", and Ye Hongling who was accompanying Nian Chaoxi, Gu Xiu frowned slightly.

However, he just frowned.

After a moment, Gu Xiu withdrew his thoughts and returned to his Tingyu Residence leisurely.

Gu Xiu was not surprised to encounter the Qingxuan Holy Land.

After all, it is a holy land with many disciples. It is not strange to meet them occasionally in this corner of the Eastern Wilderness. There is nothing surprising.

As for the "Junior Brother" that Nian Chaoxi called out to...

Gu Xiu didn't care at all.

Not to mention that the person Nian Chaoxi was calling was most likely Jiang Xun.

Even if it really was calling him...

so what?

As far as Gu Xiu was concerned, the grudges between him and Qingxuan Holy Land had already been resolved!

Have the mind to think about these things.

It would be better to think carefully about how to make the talisman myself next time without causing such a big strange phenomenon.

This is the biggest problem at the moment!

After all, if every time I make a talisman, it will attract Wan Yun to worship me, then it will be a foregone conclusion that I will be discovered.

This is not what Gu Xiu wants to see.

The five hundred years of fighting in the forbidden area and the three years of suffering in the sect, although painful, also allowed Gu Xiu to see the essence of things clearly.

Instead of being that dazzling genius who wants to compete with the gods.

It would be better to be an ordinary casual cultivator who is ignored by everyone, secretly earning spirit stones and cultivation resources, and secretly improving your cultivation.

After returning to Tingyuju, Gu Xiu threw the food he had packed to Xiaohe. Without paying any attention to how grateful this poor little maid was, he went straight back to his room.

After activating the isolation array, Gu Xiu took out the talisman materials he had just received from Cheng Fushou.

Start trying.

"The ten thousand rhymes are paying homage to me because the rhymes of heaven and earth are so resonant with me that they all want to flow in and allow me to paint them."

"Affinity can't be eliminated, but I might be able to try and see if I can isolate the affinity of the distant heaven and earth's Dao rhyme towards me, or at least control this affinity within a certain range!"

Gu Xiu muttered to himself as he slowly cast the Heavenly Book of Talismans, trying to communicate with the Dao of Heaven and Earth bit by bit.

But after trying for a while, Gu Xiu immediately disconnected.

He couldn't block it.

The Dao rhyme of heaven and earth is the power of rules. Unless Gu Xiu has the means to change or block the rules of heaven and earth, he will not be able to hide the affinity of the Dao rhyme of heaven and earth.

Even narrowing the scope is not possible.

Gu Xiu was not discouraged, and immediately pondered again:

"Since it's impossible to isolate the Dao rhyme of heaven and earth from detection, or even to reduce the range of its influence..."

"Then perhaps I can try to calm down the Dao rhyme of Heaven and Earth by making it less active?"

Do it as soon as you think of it, Gu Xiu tried again.

This attempt made Gu Xiu’s eyes brighten.

it works!

When he tried, the Dao rhythm of heaven and earth still appeared quickly, and all the rhythms still came to worship him.

But compared to the previous rush.

This will start to calm down a bit.

Although the effect may seem insignificant, at least the direction is correct!

Next, Gu Xiu continued to try.

Making talismans is an opportunity for him to quickly accumulate spirit stones and resources, and it is worth spending time on!

And when Gu Xiu started to get busy with these things.

In the city, in an inn.

"Senior, I'm so sorry. I heard that Wan Yun's pilgrimages have been happening frequently recently, and it's suspected that the direction of Wan Yun's pilgrimages is Yunxiao City."

"As a result, a large number of forces have poured into Yunxiao City during this period. The inn is short of rooms, so I have no choice but to ask you, Senior, to share a room with me."

Ye Hongling spoke politely to Nian Chaoxi, but Nian Chaoxi didn't move at all.

Just sitting by the window, looking out in a daze.

Ye Hongling sighed.

This senior, who obviously possessed a high level of cultivation, should have been free and at ease, but after spending a few days with her, Ye Hongling discovered that she was not free at all, and certainly not at ease at all.

Instead, it seems more like binding one's own mind and falling into the demons of the heart.

"senior……"

After thinking for a while, Ye Hongling finally asked curiously, "Can you tell me about your junior brother?"

"My junior brother?" Nian Chaoxi came back to his senses.

Seeing her like this, Ye Hongling couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Sure enough, this senior only reacted when she mentioned the junior brother.

"Yes, Senior, you are kind-hearted and treat your junior brother so well. Your junior brother must be a very good person to deserve your care and concern, right?"

"My junior brother is indeed a very good person, but... I... can't be considered kind-hearted..." Nian Chaoxi said sadly.

Ye Hongling was puzzled: "How could that be? Senior, you are so heartbroken because of your junior brother. If you are not a person who values ​​friendship, how could you be like this?"

"Do you value friendship?" Nian Chaoxi smiled sadly, "I'm not worthy."

what?

Ye Hongling didn't understand what was going on, but she heard Nian Chaoxi say:

"I used to think that all this had nothing to do with me, but these past few days, I've thought a lot, and finally realized..."

"I am actually the culprit that caused all this!"

"I……"

"He's the real villain!"
