A family of three travels through time together, and the golden finger is turned on
Chapter 32 Flower City
"Wow, this young lady's piano music is so lingering that it lasts for three days." Gu Can was fascinated by it.
"This is a disciple of Xuanyin Palace. She is indeed a rare rival in music." Hearing the voice, Gu Can turned around and saw a young lady in red, her arms folded across her chest, holding a sword. The whole person was just one word: cool! Her voice was low and cold, her facial features were clear, and she was a head taller than her.
"Gu Can from Luoxue Sect greets fellow Daoist." Gu Can introduced himself.
"I know you. I've seen you in Mingyi Sect, Tong Lingxian from the Sword Sect." Tong Lingxian clasped her hands together.
"Fellow Daoist Tong knows that young lady?"
"There's information about the contestants over there. She participated last year, but only made it into the top ten and didn't get the final title of Flower Fairy."
"What? She didn't even get in. How beautiful must the Fairy of Flowers be?" Gu Can couldn't help but wonder how beautiful the Fairy of Flowers really was. The young lady playing the piano on the stage was already a super beauty, with bright eyes, white teeth, a delicate complexion, and an artistic temperament. She loved her very much.
"It's really beautiful. Only boys and girls between the ages of sixteen and twenty can participate in the Hundred Flower Fairies competition. Each person cannot participate more than three times. Both appearance and talent need to be voted on on the spot, so every Hundred Flower Fairy can stand the test.
And every year's Hundred Flower Fairy awards are given by last year's Hundred Flower Fairy, so you can see how beautiful they are then." Tong Lingxian looked particularly aloof, but unexpectedly she was quite enthusiastic.
"Wow, I have to see how beautiful she is." Gu Can said that he couldn't miss such a beauty. Gu Can was very excited to watch. After all, all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women took turns to perform. Not to mention their great talents, they were really friendly to the eyes. Any of them would be a king in a talent show!
“······” Seeing the final result, Gu Can was a little confused for a moment.
"No? This year's Fairy of Flowers? That's it?" Gu Can looked at the people on the stage. Didn't they claim to be free of shady dealings? Can you imagine? Liu Tianxian and Xiaolongbao standing together, the difference between them is as big as Xiaolongnu, one is a celestial fairy and the other is a Xiaolongbao.
Obviously last year's Baihua Fairy was still at the level of Liu Tianxian! Xiaolongbao is beautiful, but look at who you compare it with. Even standing next to the young lady from Xuanyin Palace, this year's Baihua Fairy is at the level of aesthetic downgrade.
"Well, she is the granddaughter of the Lord of Baihua City. She has a single ice spiritual root and is a disciple of Fairy Lingyun of Piaomiao Palace." Tong Lingxian was also a little embarrassed.
“······” Gu Can didn’t know what to say for a moment.
"Congratulations, this is yours. Please ask the City Lord to cross my name out of the Hundred Flowers List." The previous Hundred Flowers Fairy took off her own Hundred Flowers Crown and put it on the head of this year's Hundred Flowers Fairy, then looked at the Hundred Flowers City Lord.
"What do you mean?" This year's Fairy of Flowers' face suddenly fell.
"It's meaningless, just like this Hundred Flowers Festival is meaningless." After saying that, he walked away leisurely.
"You stop."
"Mingli." Mingli was the name of this year's Flower Fairy. She was scolded by the Flower City Lord. At this moment, Mingli felt like everyone was laughing at her. They had chosen her, so why were they mocking her? Mingli turned to look at the two Flower Fairy men next to her. They nodded at her, put down their prizes, saluted the Flower City Lord, and left.
"Ah, this is better than the performance." Gu Can said that he was happy.
"That's them. Last year's Fairy of Flowers, Luo Bingfang, is the Young Palace Master of Piaomiao Palace. Although those two are not from the seven major sects, the one last year was the Young City Master of Nanjiang City, and the other one is the grandson of the ninth-rank alchemist Tianxuan. He is also a fourth-rank alchemist at a young age. The City Master of Flowers really made a wrong calculation this year." Gu Can was quite curious about Tong Lingxian at this time.
How did she manage to maintain such a cool demeanor and such a curious mind? She was a know-it-all in the entire cultivation world. For a swordsman, she was incredibly familiar.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Tong Lingxian felt that Gu Can's eyes were a little strange.
"It's nothing. Fellow Taoist Tong is very capable. Let's go. There's nothing to see here anyway. Meeting is fate. I'll treat you to a big meal. The food in Baihua City has a unique flavor." Gu Can invited.
"Okay. You treat." Tong Lingxian readily agreed, feeling proud that she could have a free meal.
After Chu Yan and the other two were introduced to Tong Lingxian, the group, led by Gu Can, ate from one end of the street to the other. See, making friends really requires a meal, and if one meal isn't enough, then two!
This year's Hundred Flowers Fair certainly started strong but ended poorly, with its overall reputation plummeting. However, the Treasure House auction still went on as scheduled. Gu Can and the others followed Han Hao and Ye Hui to broaden their horizons. The items were all excellent, and the competition was fierce.
Although there was a leading lady and a suspected leading man sitting next to her, there was no plot to show off her skills. Gu Can just thought that the juice in Zhenbao Tower was super delicious, and she drank three cups in one breath.
"Wait." The auction ended, and everyone left in an orderly manner. Gu Can suddenly retracted his foot from the door. Before Chu Yan and the others could ask anything, a sudden attack came from outside, and Gu Can immediately threw out ten purification talismans.
"Ah!!!" With a scream, the black shadow disappeared.
"It's the aura of resentment." Ye Hui waved his hand, closing the doors and windows. He took out his natal magical brush and drew talismans on the doors and windows. Gu Can also took out the purification talismans and quickly affixed them to the doors and windows. He took out a stack and handed it to Han Hao, who went to find the person in charge of the Treasure House.
Everyone still in the Treasure Tower was lifted up. Some were setting up formations, others were drawing talismans. Someone released their puppets, only to find that the entire Baihua City was enveloped in this resentful and evil aura. Some cultivators resisted, but many elderly and children could only desperately cry for help, ultimately being swallowed by the resentful aura and transformed into monsters.
Gu Can took out all the purification talismans, and finally, under Ye Hui's arrangement, they formed a team and left the Treasure House to rescue people.
"Cancan let me go out, I can eat this." Tuantuan suddenly spoke.
"Aren't you a realm spirit?" Gu Can asked in confusion.
"Yes, but the purification law of Linyuan Continent can purify all evil and filthy energy. I was born from the fragments of Linyuan Continent, and my talent is purification. If I consume this resentful evil energy, it can also replenish the spiritual energy of the secret realm."
"You're awesome." Gu Can released Tuantuan without hesitation. With its small body, it could inhale a large amount of air at a time, quickly clearing a clear path for escape. Chu Yan, Xiao Ming, and Ye Qingyan immediately came over to help treat the wounded.
"Mom!" Gu Can and Tuantuan took Chu Yan and others all the way to the place where the resentful and evil energy was emitted. On the way, they unexpectedly met Ji Jinfang.
"Master's wife."
"Cancan, why are you all here?" Ji Jinfang flew in front of the group on his sword.
"Let's talk about this later. Where is Mom going? Where is Dad?" Gu Can asked.
"Your father and I traveled here and found that the entire Baihua City was shrouded in resentful and evil energy. There is an apricot tree in the north of the city that has become a spirit, and there is a peach tree in the south that has become a spirit. They just happen to form a natural yin and yang formation, which is the source of the resentful and evil energy. Your father is guarding the south of the city, just waiting for me to reach the north so that we can break the formation together." Ji Jinfang said.
"Big Brother Yanyan, you and Mother will go with us to reunite with Father. Second Brother, you and I will come with us to find Senior Ye Hui and head north of the city." Gu Can immediately made the arrangements. Without asking why, they immediately followed Gu Can's instructions. Gu Can took Xiao Ming to find Ye Hui, who was fortunately not far away.
"Senior Ye, please follow us to the north of the city to break the formation. Senior Han, I'll leave this place to you for now." Gu Can said nothing more. Han Hao and Ye Hui nodded immediately, and Ye Hui followed Gu Can and Xiao Ming to the apricot tree in the north of the city.
Gu Can immediately signaled that Ji Jinfang and the others had already reunited with Gu Changming. As agreed, they simultaneously began to break the formation. Ye Hui was a Confucian cultivator, already a great scholar according to Confucianism and Taoism. The righteous energy of heaven and earth was the nemesis of this resentful and evil energy. Ye Hui was the key to breaking the formation.
"Heaven and earth possess righteous energy, flowing freely." With each stroke of Ye Hui's pen, a net formed, trapping all nearby resentful and evil spirits around the apricot tree. Gu Can and Xiao Ming immediately used the Purification Talisman to create a formation, repeating the "Purification Mantra of Heaven and Earth" over and over. With Ye Hui and Tuantuan's protection, Gu Can and Xiao Ming only needed to concentrate on chanting the mantra.
A loud "bang" sounded simultaneously in the south and north of the city. In an instant, the sunlight shone through the clouds onto people, and those who were struggling in the resentful and evil spirit felt a hint of warmth.
"Ah! (Who dares to ruin my good deeds!)" From the secret room of the City Lord's Mansion, a cry of pain and a furious voice were heard. If anyone saw it, they would know it was the City Lord Ming Yuyan and her granddaughter Mingli.
Mingli had fainted from the pain, while Ming Yuyan's eyes were red, her long hair was flying, and she took out a black bead from her arms with a ferocious face and placed the bead on the center of the Baihua City's city defense formation.
Baihua City's protective formation activated, sending all the resentful energy flying towards the City Lord's Mansion. Before anyone could cheer, they discovered that the entire city had become a prison, trapping everyone within. Two figures flew out of the deep pit where the peach and apricot trees were, appearing above the City Lord's Mansion.
"It's Taoxian and Xingxian!" Someone from Baihua City immediately revealed the identities of the two figures.
"There are three treasures in Baihua City: the peach fairy is kind, the apricot fairy is good, and the night Udumbara flowers bloom beautifully." This is a widely circulated nursery rhyme. There are three treasures in Baihua City: a peach tree and an apricot tree. They took thousands of years of practice to transform into human form. They protect the area with great merit, so although they are just tree elves, they are given the titles of peach fairy and apricot fairy.
At this time, the world of cultivation did not have any hostility with the demon clan, especially the demon clan that transformed from plants and trees, who were peace-loving and mostly kind demons, so the two immortals Tao and Xing were also well-known in the world of cultivation.
"Look at them, why are they so strange?" someone with sharp eyes immediately noticed something was wrong. At this moment, the two immortals, Tao and Xing, were emitting a strong aura of resentment, their heads drooping, and no expression or movement could be seen.
"Oh no, it's the forbidden technique 'Deceiving the Heaven Three Times'" Ye Hui suddenly shouted.
"What is "Deceiving the Heaven and Seizing the Formation Three Times"? "Gu Can asked. The name sounded very impressive.
"This formation can take people's lives, spiritual roots, and luck, and it can conceal the truth from the world and not be affected by cause and effect. However, to operate this formation, tens of thousands of living souls need to be scattered, and the people whose souls are taken away and their resentment must be in the same body and have the same roots as the person who set up the formation. Therefore, this formation is listed as a forbidden technique. I didn't expect that there are still people who can do it." Ye Hui explained softly.
"Hahahahaha." A loud laugh came from the City Lord's Mansion. The person who flew out was not the City Lord Ming Yuyan, but that Ming Yuyan was very different from the one he had seen before.
Gu Can opened his third eye and saw that the sins on her body were rapidly dissipating. If the formation was successful, not only would all the sins on her body be eliminated, but she would also have a lot of merits. Such a person should not be killed easily.
The divine power sensed that Mingli in the secret room was rapidly aging. She was clearly an eighteen-year-old girl, but now she looked like an eighty-year-old woman, with almost no vitality.
"What a vicious heart! Mingli is your granddaughter!" When Gu Can thought about the conditions of the formation, he instantly knew that Mingli was the person whose life was taken.
"That's why she should sacrifice everything for me." Ming Yuyan is not a brainless villain, so she naturally won't say much. Although she doesn't know how Gu Can knows Mingli's situation, she must not be allowed to stay. No one here can be allowed to stay. Everyone will sacrifice their life, spiritual roots and luck for her, and it can also become her merit.
"Cancan, be careful." Gu Changming and Ji Jinfang had also arrived, fortunately with Ye Hui at her side. Gu Can's current level of cultivation naturally meant she couldn't get involved in the duel between these masters. Taoxian and Xingxian were already puppets in Ming Yuyan's hands, their spirits dissipated. They held Gu Changming and Ji Jinfang back, but there were still many high-level combatants, with Ye Hui and Han Hao bearing the brunt of the attack.
Tong Lingxian and other younger generations also knew that they could not participate in the battle over there, so they gathered together. Gu Can followed Tong Lingxian's understanding of everyone and made arrangements. Some people should break the formation and some should rescue people. Gu Can took Tong Lingxian to find Mingli and asked Tong Lingxian to take Mingli out. Gu Can saw the black bead in the eye of the formation at a glance.
"It's Dzi beads!" Tuantuan exclaimed.
"You know?" Gu Can asked.
"Well, it's a bead condensed from the original power of Heaven. This bead is wrapped in so much death, demonic energy, resentment and evil spirit. The Heaven in this world must be very weak." Tuantuan said.
"Can I purify these with my current level of cultivation?" Gu Can asked.
"I'm afraid it won't work. Even though it's only as big as your two fists, the evil spirits and death energy have already condensed into substance and cannot be easily shaken. Even if I eat it, I will have to sleep for a hundred years before it can be purified." Tuantuan felt a little guilty when he said a hundred years. It seemed to be useless.
Gu Can knew that the transformation from gas to solid was a qualitative change, a process that was incomparable. She thought about it and realized there were many things in the warehouses that could be used for purification, but her current level of cultivation didn't allow her to use much. She should have taken a superpower fruit earlier; it seemed to help with cultivation faster.
But now was not the time to regret. Fortunately, the power of the divine nature was still very strong. It was also suitable now. Gu Can took out a crystal box, mobilized the power of the divine nature, and easily penetrated the barrier set by Ming Yuyan. He took out the bead and placed it in the box.
Immediately, he sealed the talisman and put it into his storage bag, then Gu Can flew out of the basement. Ming Yuyan sensed the moment the formation was broken.
"Who is it!!!" Ming Yuyan wanted to break out of the encirclement like crazy, but Ye Hui and others clearly felt that her strength had declined, so how could they let her leave.
Seeing that Ye Hui and the others were capable, Gu Can was very confident in calling Chu Yan and the others over. They gathered together nine Jindan cultivators, twenty-seven Foundation Establishment cultivators, and thirty-six Qi Refining cultivators, and set up a low-profile version of the "Nine Nine Return Formation."
