They found him in the evening. As soon as Gu Lingze walked to the gate of Mu Tao Courtyard, Xu Mingyan stood up from the steps.
"How about it."
Gu Lingze shook his head, but now he could only comfort Xu Mingyan, "Maybe he was out having fun and forgot to come back."
Xu Mingyan's face turned pale. "I'll go find him."
"Brother Xu!" Gu Lingze grabbed him and said, "Where can you find him in this mountainous area?"
Xu Mingyan looked at him with red eyes, "I'm afraid of him... afraid that he misunderstood something. If he doesn't want to come back, I..."
It was the first time that Gu Lingze saw Xu Mingyan talking incoherently, and he felt uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, Brother Xu. I will try my best to find him."
But Gu Lingze did not say his biggest worry. If Huang Shulang was really determined to avoid them, then they would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Why are you two standing here so late at night?"
Uncle Xu came out with his coat draped over his shoulders and a lantern in his hand.
Gu Lingze forced a smile and said, "I have something I want to trouble Brother Xu with."
Uncle Xu was a little puzzled. The expressions of both men looked a little strange. Moreover, what was an extremely urgent matter that required discussion in the middle of the night?
"Uncle, you guys should go in and have some rest. Brother Xu has to attend the morning court tomorrow." After saying that, he nodded to Xu Mingyan.
At this point, Xu Mingyan had no choice but to suppress his emotions and go back with Uncle Xu.
The next day at noon, Gu Lingze was sitting in the room thinking about something when there was a knock on the door.
"Qian Bo, what's the matter?"
Qian Bo had a complicated expression. "There's a cat at the door. It looks a little weird."
"cat?"
When Gu Lingze and Qian Bo arrived at the door, they saw a large cat with raccoon patterns squatting at the door.
When the raccoon saw him, it straightened its hind legs and spat out a wet hairband from its mouth.
"I have a cat myself, so seeing this cat being so human-like and lingering around here, I thought something was wrong."
Gu Lingze walked forward and looked at the headband carefully. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it looked.
The raccoon cat was obviously a little anxious at this time, and it called out. Gu Lingze picked up the hairband, turned around and said, "Thank you, Uncle Qian."
After saying that, he ran out under the leadership of the raccoon cat.
"Wait a minute, I have to go somewhere first."
The raccoon cat seemed impatient and stepped forward to grab the corner of his robe with its claws, but Gu Lingze still turned and went to Mu Taoyuan.
"Brother Xu."
As soon as Gu Lingze's voice sounded, Xu Mingyan immediately walked out of the room.
"Lingze, is there any news?"
Gu Lingze took out the yellow headband, and before he could say anything, Xu Mingyan took it directly in his hand.
"This is Shulang's. I gave it to him on the Lantern Festival."
At this moment, the raccoon cat under the two men's feet suddenly howled, and tears flowed from its eyes.
Gu Lingze placed two fingers on its forehead and his expression suddenly changed.
“It’s too late!”
After saying that, he let the civet cat run in front, and he pulled Xu Mingyan's arm and ran wildly.
After leaving the city, Gu Lingze asked the civet cat to lead the way as fast as possible, then turned to Xu Mingyan and said, "Brother Xu, close your eyes."
Gu Lingze raised his hand and grabbed Xu Mingyan's arm, chanting the spell: "The universe is in yin and yang, and one step can travel thousands of miles."
"disease."
At first the raccoon cat was worried that they couldn't keep up, but then it saw Gu Lingze following closely behind it, so it ran faster and faster, almost leaving a shadow.
Since the last time, Gu Lingze's realm has jumped from the fourth level of nourishing yang to the fifth level of nourishing yin, and directly reached the sixth level of nourishing fire.
But even so, shrinking the distance with a living person consumed a lot of his spiritual energy.
Gu Lingze smelled the odor of a burning forest fire from afar, and looking at the smoke filling the air, his brows furrowed even more tightly.
The temperature around was getting higher and higher, and Gu Lingze's forehead was covered with sweat.
Soon the two men and the cat arrived at a flat area, and the surrounding land was charred by the wildfire.
"Meow." Gu Lingze and Xu Mingyan both heard the anxiety in the civet cat's cry.
The two looked around, but did not see Huang Shulang.
At this time, the raccoon raised its front paw and pointed in a direction, and the two men's faces changed drastically.
"Shulang!"
Xu Mingyan didn't care about the hot ashes under his feet and rushed forward.
Huang Shulang was seen lying on the ground in his original form, his fur all burnt black, and his original appearance could no longer be seen.
Gu Lingze picked up the civet cat and ran over. He placed the cat on a charred branch and squatted down to check Huang Shulang's injuries.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Huang Shulang's eyes opened a crack and he looked at Xu Mingyan with his dying breath.
"Book...nerd." As it spoke, it slowly opened its dark claws, revealing a red fruit in its palm.
"If I...get...Nirvana, I can...be with you..."
Before he could finish his words, Huang Shulang closed his eyes.
Gu Lingze quickly took out the spiritual milk and said, "Brother Xu, feed it to him quickly."
Suddenly, there was a loud thunder in the sky, and the huge sound echoed among the mountains.
Gu Lingze picked up the red fruit and threw it directly back into the secret realm.
He quickly stood up and summoned the Mo Shuang Sword, gritting his teeth and saying, "I am really impressed that a goblin can be so stupid!"
Wow——
A bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl struck a large tree to the west of them, and the tree actually exploded in the middle.
"Hurry up and carry these two down the mountain!" Gu Lingze shouted and quickly formed a seal with one hand.
Close your eyes, and the spiritual energy in your body will quickly gather, pass through your tailbone, flow through your entire body, and then gather at the center of your eyebrows.
"Forget about all thoughts."
After saying these four words, Gu Lingze waved the Mo Shuang sword in front of his chest and chanted the spell.
"It is vast and majestic, scattered into all things, gathered into a child, transformed into thunder, transformed into a real person, and it is as urgent as a command!"
The moment the words fell, bolts of lightning struck down head-on, but they could not get close to Gu Lingze at all.
The charred weeds around it caught fire again.
Gu Lingze controlled the energy and rose into the air, but still maintained his previous posture.
Xu Mingyan ran to the middle of the mountain, listening to the thunder that sounded like the collapse of the sky and the earth, and gritted his teeth and placed Huang Shulang on the civet cat's back.
"Take him and run!" After saying that, he turned around and ran up the mountain.
When Xu Mingyan ran over, the thunder in the sky stopped and the dark clouds gradually dissipated.
Gu Lingze fell back to the ground and opened his eyes, with only coldness left in them.
"Lingze, are you okay?" Xu Mingyan wanted to get closer, but with the other party as the center, there were deep pits all around, which could not be crossed at all.
Gu Lingze did not answer his question, but turned to look at the only small tree left beside him.
He took out a Tang sword from the secret realm and chopped it across the tree trunk. The charred tree fell to the ground and suddenly disappeared from his sight.
Before Xu Mingyan could react, Gu Lingze flew in front of him and asked, "Where are those two goblins?"
Xu Mingyan looked into Gu Lingze's eyes, which were as black as ink. They were filled with coldness and without a trace of warmth.
