Chapter 192
Gu Shihan reached out and took the book without hesitation, "Now that we have gone through the test, how can we retreat?" Duan Siqi also nodded firmly.
The man in white seemed to have expected this. He took out two jade talismans from his arms and handed them to the two of them. "This jade talisman can help you once. I hope you can use it well."
The two thanked the man in white and prepared to leave.
As soon as I walked out of the peach blossom forest, the sky suddenly darkened and a powerful pressure swept over.
A group of men in black appeared, and the leader sneered, "Hand over the book, or today will be the day you die."
Gu Shihan tightly grasped the book, leaned back against Duan Siqi, and whispered, "It looks like trouble is coming so soon."
Duan Siqi responded softly: "What are you afraid of? We will face it together."
Gu Shihan drew out the Seven Star Sword and condensed his spiritual power on the tip of the sword.
Duan Siqi swung her sword in a defensive posture.
Someone in the group of men in black taunted, "Just the two of you? You don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is. Hand over the book!" After that, the men in black attacked one after another.
The black-clad men attacked fiercely, and Gu Shihan and her companions could only fight and retreat. Thinking of the two jade talismans, she quickly took out one and crushed it.
The jade talisman burst out with a strong light and rushed directly towards the men in black. The few men in black in the front were knocked away in an instant.
There were a large number of men in black and they soon surrounded them again.
Duan Siqi seized the opportunity and threw the sword in his hand. The long sword turned into several sword shadows in the air and stabbed towards the leader of the men in black.
The leader dodged sideways, but was also thrown into disarray.
Gu Shihan took advantage of the situation and flew up with Duan Siqi, breaking through the encirclement.
"There is a peach forest ahead, let's go in!" Gu Shihan pulled Duan Si and stepped into it. The peach trees seemed to come alive, revolving around the two of them and blocking the group of people in black robes outside.
"Shi Han, we...we are still in the cave. Was it all an illusion?"
"It's not an illusion, the book is still here!" Gu Shihan raised the book in his hand.
"Ah! I have one too. What is the detailed explanation of the talisman?"
"A Complete Collection of Formation Techniques?" Could it be that this is the book we just got? What about that man in black robe?"
Just as the two were puzzled, the surrounding scene suddenly distorted. Gu Shihan tightly grasped Duan Siqi's hand and looked around vigilantly.
A soft voice sounded: "Don't panic, this is a test set by Taolin." The man in white walked over slowly.
Gu Shihan asked: "What test? Are those men in black also part of the test?"
The man in white nodded and said, "This is an ancient peach forest, which contains endless opportunities. The book originally belonged to the peach forest, and only those who are destined to have it can obtain it. The man in black is an obstacle created by the peach forest to test whether you are qualified to own the book."
Duan Siqi frowned: "So now we have passed the test?"
The man in white smiled and said, "Yes. Although these two books may seem ordinary, they actually contain mysteries. Only those who truly study them can discover the secrets."
Gu Shihan looked at the book in his hand, his heart full of curiosity.
Gu Shihan and Duan Siqi looked at each other and decided to practice in this cave and study the book they had obtained unexpectedly.
"Hanhan, there is a new discovery!" Xingbai's voice came over.
The two walked over quickly and saw a stone bed in an ear hole, and a dried corpse on the stone bed, "That senior?"
Indeed, the owner of the corpse was the man in white that they saw in the illusion.
Gu Shihan and Duan Siqi looked at each other, then both knelt down and saluted respectfully: "Senior! Thank you for your generous gift. We will work hard to learn the knowledge in the book!"
After the two men had a great ceremony, the corpse turned into dust and fell on the stone bed.
With a few "ding-dang-dang" sounds, two storage rings rolled towards Gu Shihan and Duan Siqi.
"Senior, is this for us? Thank you!" Gu Shihan bowed again and picked up the storage ring in front of him. Duan Siqi followed suit.
"Siqi, let's collect our predecessor's ashes and find a place to bury them later!"
"Okay!" The two of them put the ashes into the jade box bit by bit, and then they calmed down.
Gu Shihan and Duan Siqi settled down in the cave, practicing while studying the books they had obtained.
"Huh. Is this a time formation that has long been lost?" Gu Shihan was attracted by a formation.
"Shi Han, what did you find?"
"Siqi, how is your level in formation? If you have some talent, you can also study this formation book. I have discovered a long-lost time formation. If we can set up a time formation, then we will have a lot more time to practice." Gu Shihan said happily.
Gu Shihan has been a little worried these days because he cannot use his own space. If he practices in the space, he will have much more time and his cultivation will increase rapidly.
But because Duan Siqi was here, she couldn't enter. It was because the space was too powerful and Gu Shihan didn't want it to be exposed.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to believe in Duan Siqi’s character, but she is really afraid that there will be too many variables, which will harm both herself and others.
Duan Siqi's eyes lit up, "My formation skills are pretty good. I've heard of the time formation. Is there really such a formation in the book? It would be great if this formation could really succeed." The two of them began to study the time formation together.
After several days of hard work, they finally got a glimpse of the way. They began to look for the materials needed to set up the formation. Fortunately, the space ring of the owner of the cave had the materials needed to set up the formation.
The two of them acted as soon as they said it, and just when they were about to successfully set up the formation, a powerful force suddenly emerged.
It turned out that there was a restriction in the cave, and they had triggered the ancient defense mechanism.
Faced with danger, Gu Shihan and Duan Siqi stood back to back, ready to respond to the attack.
But that power turned into a ray of light, and a vague figure appeared in the light.
"You can actually understand this formation, you are destined to be together. I can lend you a helping hand. Remember, the quality of the time formation depends on the materials used to lay it out, and you must use obsidian to carve the time formation disk." After saying that, the figure released energy and injected it into the formation.
With a flash of light, the time formation was successfully arranged.
Gu Shihan was extremely grateful, “Thank you for your help, senior.” The figure gradually disappeared, leaving behind only one sentence: “I hope you can make good use of this formation.”
With the existence of the time formation, Gu Shihan found a corner and said, "Siqi, this time formation is one to five, which means one day is five days, so we have enough time to study and practice.
Talismans and formations take time to learn, and cultivation also takes time. In order not to disturb each other, I will set up an isolation formation. You should cultivate well. I hope that when we meet again, both of us will have improved our cultivation."
"Well, Shi Han, you are so amazing. I really can't set up this time formation. One day is equivalent to five days, that's great! I won't say much. I will start practicing and studying right away. See you later." Si Qi smiled and found a place as far away from Shi Han as possible, so that she would not steal the fairy spirit.
