Gu Jiu took Yu Weiwei out of the temple, and then he remembered that his clothes had just been burned to pieces by the fire phoenix, so he took off his clothes and prepared to change into another set.

Yu Weiwei closed her eyes again for fear of getting sores in her eyes.

When she quietly opened her eyes, wanting to feast her eyes, she was surprised to find that Gu Jiu had already put on his clothes. She couldn't help but said in frustration, "So fast?"

At this time, Gu Jiu was wearing a well-fitting black suit inside, which made him look particularly tall and straight, and a black sword robe outside, which added a sense of elegance to his uprightness.

Gu Jiu wiped it with his fingers and shaved off the beard that he hadn't shaved for days.

When the stubble fell off, he looked more energetic.

To be honest, Gu Jiu looks good with a messy and unshaved beard, but he just looks better at this time.

Since there would be more dangers on the road ahead, Gu Jiu no longer rode Yu Weiwei forward, but let her act as a pendant while he walked with all his might.

Behind this temple is still an extremely desolate hillside with jagged rocks, but there are no more unfinished sculptures, and grass and trees are gradually appearing.

The deeper Gu Jiu went, the brighter the sky became.

He thought it would get darker as he went deeper, because this was more in line with the terrifying atmosphere described by the butcher and the blind man, but the reality was just the opposite.

I don’t know if it was because the time had come or for some other reason, but the originally dark sky gradually turned blue, the blue became lighter, and the vision around me became clearer.

The rugged rocks came to an end at this time, replaced by a forest.

The trees in this forest are no longer as huge as the trees in the previous giant forest. They are of normal size, but look much weirder.

They have no branches or leaves, and their roots grow at the top of the tree. Looking up from the bottom, they look like countless tentacles.

Yu Weiwei had never seen this kind of tree before, so her eyes were full of surprise. Although Gu Jiu looked calm, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

This kind of tree had given him too many bad impressions: Xi Yu, the upside-down Guanyin, and the void.

He didn't expect that there would be so many strange trees with roots in the sky.

But these trees are too small compared to the one in Miaojiang, just like the difference between an adult and a child who has just learned to walk.

Gu Jiu didn't stop and continued walking.

The sky became brighter and brighter, and the surrounding scenes became clearer and clearer.

There were no people, no animals, no fog, and not even any wind. There was dead silence all around, with only the rustling sound of Gu Jiu's feet on the ground.

It was already daylight, but the sun was nowhere to be seen.

These lights were light blue, and Gu Jiu didn't even want to call them "skylight".

Because this kind of light carries a sense of death.

Walking in this world, Gu Jiu felt that he would merge into this world and become a part of this dead silence.

Yu Weiwei's feeling was even stronger, so she could only wrap her arms around Gu Jiu's neck tightly, so as to feel the only remaining vitality in this world.

There was a crisp sound of "clicking", Gu Jiu stopped and found that he was stepping on a piece of yellow paper.

This piece of yellow paper is the kind of yellow paper money that is scattered when someone dies. It is stuck in the cracks of the stone and looks a bit out of place.

Here, the strange trees with roots in the sky have become thicker. From here, the forest looks like a pencil sketch, which should be realistic but is full of absurdity.

Along the way, the yellow paper money became more and more, scattered on the ground, and looked a little old, as if someone had died here many years ago and a team had passed by here.

Gu Jiu did not hide from the yellow paper money, but walked forward along it.

In fact, this road is exactly the direction he wants to go.

At this time, Yu Weiwei suddenly said, "Sir, there seems to be something in that tree."

Gu Jiu had to admit that foxes always had sharp eyes, and Yu Weiwei could notice details that he usually didn't notice.

In fact, his sword eyes are much more useful than his fox eyes, but he is usually too lazy to observe the details.

After hearing Yu Weiwei's words, Gu Jiu walked under the tree.

The tree was about as thick as two people could hug together, and its roots seemed to have been dug out by a wild beast, with a piece missing, so Yu Weiwei saw it.

There is indeed something in this gap, it is gray and cannot be seen without sharp eyes.

At this time, Gu Jiu just raised his right hand, and the gap in the tree was torn open by the sword energy, revealing the true appearance of the things inside.

It was a blurred-faced statue of Guanyin, with its head facing downwards in an inverted position.

The stone material of this statue is also a bit strange. The surface looks like it is covered with a layer of lard, reflecting a faint light.

Gu Jiu looked at this scene, frowning slightly, and thought to himself, "Is this really how they coexist?"

He naturally thought of the strange tree in Miaojiang, and his expression became solemn.

The face of this Guanyin statue is blurry, which should be attributed to the craftsmanship of the craftsman who carved it, but Gu Jiu has a feeling that it just has not grown up yet.

Just like when a baby is born, its facial features are not fully developed, so it is not cute at all, and can even be said to be a bit clownish.

At this time, the Haoyu Sword had turned into a three-foot green blade and was held in his hand.

With a click, Gu Jiu stabbed the Guanyin statue's belly with a sword, and pulled it, leaving a cut.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Weiwei let out a scream because blood was flowing out of her.

This is clearly a stone statue, but real blood is flowing out of it.

At this time, both Yu Weiwei and Gu Jiu felt that the blurred facial features of the Guanyin statue were twisted together, as if it was enduring some great pain.

Yu Weiwei immediately stuttered, "It, it, it's alive?"

"It's just an evil heretic." After saying this, Gu Jiu turned and left.

At this time, the forest was almost at the end, and then Gu Jiu quickly discovered that it was snowing ahead.

The cold quickly swept across the land, and the soil on the ground became hard.

Gu Jiu exhaled a breath of cold air and felt a little cold.

Yes, at this time, even he had to use his internal energy to resist the cold.

Yu Weiwei, who was wearing the fox fur that was considered the "best in warmth", began to shiver.

This kind of coldness is so weird, as if the fur has no effect, it goes straight to the bone marrow and is about to freeze the blood.

While Gu Jiu was giving the great aura in his body to Yu Weiwei, he ignited the sword fire with the Haoyu Sword to drive away the cold.

But when it reached this point, it seemed as if the true essence was about to solidify, so that the sword fire on the sword became smaller and smaller, and was finally extinguished by the wind.

Gu Jiu finally began to understand what the True Buddha's clone said - even his sword fire could not ignite when approaching the Ghost Abyss.

It turned out that it wasn't the darkness that prevented the fire from continuing, but the cold.

Extremely cold.

But this is enough to show that they should be not far from the Ghost Abyss.

Chapter 77 Meet again

After this strange chill hit, the fire phoenix on Gu Jiu's shoulder seemed to sense its master's intention, and let out a loud phoenix cry, then emerged from his shoulder.

It must be because the Fire Phoenix had completely merged with Gu Jiu, this time Gu Jiu's clothes were finally not burned.

The fire phoenix spun around Gu Jiu, bringing up a string of flowing fire.

It was still very small, far from the giant fire phoenix in the legend, and looked like a chicken.

But when it flew around Gu Jiu, both Gu Jiu and Yu Weiwei felt warmth.

This dead and cold land finally became a little more lively because of the appearance of the fire phoenix.

The True Buddha's clone said that the Fire Phoenix Fire is the only fire that can exist in such a place. It seems that this statement is not an exaggeration.

Because even with the abundance of his true energy, he couldn't ignite the sword fire, which shows the strangeness of the cold air here.

The fire phoenix also seemed to be a lazy one. After flying for a while, it landed directly on Gu Jiu's head and continued to glow and emit heat.

Gu Jiu was startled and said, "Don't burn my hair off."

The Fire Phoenix made a series of giggling sounds and seemed very happy.

But whether in Gu Jiu's ears or Yu Weiwei's ears, this sound was no different from that of a chicken.

And it's a hen.

An old hen about to lay eggs.

With the Fire Phoenix warming her body, the bone-chilling coldness instantly dissipated by a large margin, and Yu Weiwei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If it weren't for the righteousness from Gu Jiu, she would have probably been frozen to death. The flames brought by the fire phoenix were obviously more effective than the righteousness.

At this time, Yu Weiwei was looking at the turkey and even started to think whether the meat would taste better if roasted with its fire.

After all, the Fire Phoenix Fire is more advanced than Gu Jiu's sword fire, and Gu Jiu's barbecue is already top-notch.

Not long after, the man, the fox and the chicken arrived in front of the huge dragon bone.

It’s not that Gu Jiu hasn’t seen a dragon before. He even killed the ghost dragon in the imperial mausoleum with his own hands. But when the dragon skeleton with some flesh still hanging on it appeared in front of him, he still felt a huge shock.

Thousands of miles of ice and snow, in this vast expanse of snow, the skeleton of a giant dragon lies there, looking like a continuous mountain ridge that goes nowhere.

When this dragon was alive, what kind of existence would it be, blocking out the sky and the sun?

But now it is dead, its body fell into this desolate mountain range, and the unrotted flesh and blood has become the meat in someone else's stomach.

Gu Jiu thought of the large piece of flesh and blood filled with a foul smell in the temple. A feeling of sadness suddenly surged in his heart, and he was unable to control himself for a while.

A behemoth like this is so majestic when alive, but it is so miserable after death, with not even a complete body left.

You know, dragons are extremely proud creatures. They are at the top of the world, overlooking everything tiny, like gods.

But they will also die, and after death, their arrogance will naturally disappear with the wind and clouds.

Time is really a ruthless sword that can turn everything into decay, but what in this world can last forever?

Gu Jiu let out a long breath and walked forward along the dragon bone.

The fire phoenix nestling in his hair was obviously a little uneasy at this time, making a series of cackling sounds.

When it flies, its cry is astonishing, it is the cry of a real phoenix, but at this time it sounds like an old hen.

Not long after, the sound of suona suddenly appeared in the originally silent world.

The sound of the suona was very abrupt, as if it had been inserted into this world. Instead of bringing any vitality to this world, it made it seem even more depressing.

After hearing the suona sound, Yu Weiwei's face changed and she exclaimed, "It's them."

The fire phoenix seemed to sense the approaching danger, and it flew straight towards Gu Jiu's arm, then turned into a pattern and disappeared.

Seeing this, Gu Jiu couldn't help but sigh in amazement: "I didn't expect that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, could also be a little coward."

As soon as the fire phoenix disappeared, the cold came back like a maggot in the tarsal bones.

Gu Jiu had to mobilize the great energy of Tathagata in his body again to ensure that he and Yu Weiwei would not be invaded by this strange chill.

He stood on one side of the keel and looked at the marriage team behind him.

At this time, this suona-playing team had no sunshine to lead the way, no flowers to pave the ground, and even the things scattered were the yellow paper money burned for the dead.

Gu Jiu and Yu Weiwei didn't expect that they would run ahead of the team.

But think about it, when getting married, the wedding car will circle around the area a few times, so it is natural to take a detour.

The tall sedan chair swayed slightly in the wind and snow, giving off an indescribable sense of weirdness and solemnity.

The woman in this sedan chair is going to marry Guiyuan's people. Does that mean that by following them, we can reach Guiyuan?

The purpose of Gu Jiu's trip is to explore Guiyuan and see if he can find any clues about the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Since he had someone to lead the way, he didn't mind waiting.

So, just like last time, he stood by the roadside, watching this strange team gradually get closer to him.

In Gu Jiu's eyes, if the other party's previous act of clearing the way with sunlight still had some meaning of a god, then the act of scattering yellow paper money now could be said to be the act of an evil ghost.

The fact that these two completely different temperaments appeared in the same team and the same person just proved what the butcher said.

The royal family of Yingxianmen is the product of hybridization with the great horror creature in Guiyuan. Even if they possess the power of gods, it is difficult for them to become gods, at least in the sense of Gu Jiu.

Because they are no longer pure.

The team was getting closer and closer to them. Yu Weiwei was so scared that she curled up into a ball and didn't dare to look again.

Because even from a distance, she could clearly feel the horror of the woman in the sedan chair. She was like a huge rolling knife, which would mince her into meat paste once it passed through her body.
