Chapter 171 Gourd Leads the Way
The two left the area.
Before leaving, Li Yuan cast a spell in the direction outside the ancient town.
This spell will make mortals who want to enter the ancient town subconsciously stay away.
Even though he is an immortal god, he is still deceived by evil spirits.
If a mortal were to walk in, he would surely be corrupted by the ghosts and become their slave.
However, over the years, this peaceful ancient town, located deep in the mountains and forests, has obviously swallowed up countless passers-by.
This is all Li Yuan can do at the moment.
If one wants to suppress the evil spirit and break the three coffin situation, he must find the old Taoist priest's junior brother, the wandering wanderer.
Or, find the ancient sword of Fushang to ensure that the evil ghost can be killed.
A 40% chance of winning, and a sure kill.
Li Yuan naturally prefers the latter.
After leaving the ancient town, Li Yuan took out the blood-stained yellow wooden gourd.
"The old Taoist priest asked me to find the man and the sword. He must have left some instructions in the gourd."
Li Yuan fumbled around, and soon he actually found how to activate the gourd.
He used the secret technique of Disha to awaken the aura of the gourd.
The gourd exudes a bright purple aura, warm and mysterious, and the gourd mouth is pointing in a certain direction.
Like a signpost.
When Li Yuan turned the direction, the yellow gourd would slowly change its light, emitting a crimson glow, like a ray of murderous sword energy.
Li Yuan understood that these two kinds of light represented the direction of Chen You Sanren and Fu Shang Ancient Sword.
But Ziying and Chixia, one in the south and one in the north, are completely opposite.
The purple light is faint, but the red light is slightly stronger.
It seems to also represent the distance.
After some consideration, Li Yuan decided to go looking for the Fu Shang Sword.
Of course, Li Yuan also turned around and visited the old mountain god who had kindly given him advice.
Please ask this old mountain god to spread the news of searching for Chen Yousanren to other immortal gods.
He also left behind a sentence, which was enough to make Chen Yousanren curious and deduce.
'The yellow gourd is stained with ghost blood, and the senior brother kills the three corpses.'
As long as Chen Yousanren is still alive, after hearing these words, he will naturally know what they mean by deducing them based on the words in them.
If there are immortals or gods willing to convey a message to Chen Yousanren, Li Yuan is willing to offer many spiritual objects as a token of gratitude.
Previously, he had obtained the secrets of more than ten immortals and gods from the Linglong River incident. After the division, Li Yuan had quite a few treasures.
Of course, this matter can be regarded as Li Yuan owing a favor to the old mountain god.
I didn't want to owe favors to others before because there was no need.
Now, I feel helpless.
Li Yuan did not have enough time to look for Chen You Sanren and Fu Shang Sword at the same time.
"He only has about three years. You have to hurry."
As the two of them walked forward, Zhang Tiansheng toured the mountains and rivers and said calmly.
Li Yuan was slightly stunned.
"Didn't the old Taoist priest say that we can still hold out for about ten years?"
In this vast world, searching for an ancient sword is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
I thought that with the guidance of Hulu, the pressure would be reduced, but...
Zhang Tiansheng has a detached demeanor and calm eyes.
"He had already changed. Are you sure what you heard is true?"
"If you really wait ten years, the evil spirit would have already emerged and become powerful."
"If it weren't for the fact that the Fushang Sword has the power to slay all the evil spirits, I would have thought that he had already lost consciousness and that everything he did was just an imitation of the evil spirits."
Li Yuan frowned slightly and lowered his head.
That ghost thing is very intelligent and can set traps for people even silently.
He previously asked Li Yuan to cast a spell to suppress the red coffin on the left, and then misled Li Yuan about the wrong time.
The red coffin on the left holds the old Taoist priest.
There is a huge difference between ten years and three years.
Two tricks were set quietly. Even if Li Yuan believed one of them, the old Taoist priest would probably have been completely defeated.
fine......
Li Yuan looked at Zhang Tiansheng with complicated eyes, smiled faintly and punched him on the shoulder.
"Luckily I have you!"
Zhang Tiansheng was stunned for a moment and didn't react to the punch.
He frowned, glared at Li Yuan fiercely, then turned his head away with a complicated expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
Li Yuan only felt that his whole body stiffened for a moment.
It was like dying in an instant.
However, this feeling didn't last even half a second, and there was nothing abnormal about the circulation of the immortal energy in his body, so he just thought that he had perceived it wrongly.
The two of them walked forward in the direction indicated by the red light of the gourd.
During this period, Li Yuan visited many immortals and gods, and tried to get some information about the Fushang Sword by hinting at other topics during the conversations.
However, apart from some descriptions of the Fu Shang Sword, I didn't find out anything else.
This evil sword from the beginning of the universe gained the ability to shield itself after returning to the human world.
It is basically impossible to sense or find immortals and gods.
Li Yuan also had the guidance of the old Taoist priest's gourd to sense the approximate direction.
The two headed north, deviating from their original travel route.
Because they had a purpose, Li Yuan and his companions did not move slowly, but flew up into the air, searching and inquiring in various places.
Zhang Tiansheng watched Li Yuan casually summon the clouds, and then waved them away after use.
It seems like he doesn't care at all...
He couldn't help but look up at the sky, and a strange look flashed across his face.
Searching all the way.
During this time, the red light on the yellow wooden gourd became brighter and brighter.
Obviously, the two were approaching the area where the Fu Shang Sword was.
In the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed since this investigation.
Over the past year, the two of them directly crossed the vast land and passed through at least dozens of mortal kingdoms.
Until the two of them came to a huge mottled city.
The huge city stands on the earth, and its entire body is made of special stone.
The wall is a hundred meters high and more than ten meters thick. The city wall is vast and seems to be endless.
The stone city gate alone is more than 20 meters high and seven or eight meters thick.
Every time the room is opened and closed, heavy equipment is needed to assist.
The city is well guarded by elite soldiers, and all countries have sent troops to garrison here, yet it remains peaceful, which is very rare.
"Demon Suppression Pass."
Li Yuan arrived in front of the huge city and looked at the huge inscriptions on the city wall, feeling a little dazed.
These three characters are vigorous and powerful, as if they were copied from the handwriting of some ancient powerful man.
After some inquiries, Li Yuan finally got some information about this city.
The Demon-Suppressing Pass has stood since ancient times and was built with great effort by the ancient human emperor.
It’s not for any other reason, just because outside the Demon-Suppressing Pass is the territory of demons.
The way of heaven is fair. Even demons have a foothold in the world and will not be exterminated by heaven.
The demon territory outside the Demon-Suppressing Pass is one of the largest gathering places for demons in the world.
Among them, there are countless demons and monsters.
The existence of Demon-Suppressing Pass separates mortals from demons.
In ancient times, a powerful being set the rules. If demons wanted to invade the human world on a large scale, they could only defeat the Demon-Suppressing Pass to enter.
Otherwise, once they enter the human world from other places, they will be punished by heaven and their souls will be destroyed.
Of course, the exception is the idle demons. Even the laws of the ancient powers will not regulate the movements of a few scattered demons.
"Since ancient times, in the hundreds of eras, the Three Realms have experienced several great disasters."
"It includes the great calamity of the creation of living beings, the great calamity of the ancient celestial being, the great calamity of the way of heaven, the great calamity of heaven and hell, and the great calamity of humans and demons a million years ago."
Zhang Tiansheng knew that Li Yuan was seriously "biased" in history, so he spoke calmly and told some stories about ancient history.
Li Yuan listened carefully.
The two chatted as they walked and approached the city gate.
The city gate was deserted, and it was obvious that few people were coming in and out.
The reputation of Zhenmo Pass is the symbol of "millstone" in the human world.
Those who don’t have the ability or determination dare not come here.
The two of them didn't care and calmly accepted the inspection process at the city gate.
Soon, he was illuminated by a bone mirror at the city gate.
The bone mirror is made of the bones of the ancient strange beast - Bai Ze.
Able to see through the magic of ghosts and gods, understand all the evil spirits in the world, and distinguish between good and evil and right and wrong.
All those entering the city must undergo the test of the Bai Ze Bone Mirror.
To prevent evil spirits from sneaking into the city.
But who would have known that when Li Yuan was illuminated by this Bai Ze bone mirror.
Something special happened.
