Chapter 88
"Have you found out?"
After spending a large sum of money to exchange several captives from Mo Da, Zhou Qingzi became more and more angry - he really hoped that Mo Da would help Lin Shenzong to overcome this crisis, but he never thought that the opportunity would be a sneak attack by these bastards!
Wouldn't this definitely give people something to talk about?
"Reporting to the elder, we have found out everything," the disciple reported tremblingly. Zhou Qingzi was well-known for his bad temper in the Linshen Sect, and he was still angry now. "Those cultivators are from several small sects in the southwest... They united to attack our younger generation of disciples."
"But they refused to tell us who was behind this and insisted that there was no one behind it. They just wanted to do it themselves."
Zhou Qingzi frowned: "There is no mastermind behind this? How is that possible!"
The sects in the southwest are basically in disarray, each acting independently. To say that they can form an alliance without a leader behind the scenes, Zhou Qingzi would never believe it!
"There's one more thing," the disciple swallowed, looked at Zhou Qingzi's face and said carefully, "Principal Zong said he would bring his disciples to visit you, and they are probably almost at the door now."
Zhou Qingzi's eyes widened: "What? You bastard, why are you saying it now? Get out and greet them!"
As he spoke, he quickly stood up, ran two steps, quickly straightened his robe, and then strode out of the hall.
Now the people of Moda can be regarded as the most distinguished guests of Linshen Sect. On the one hand, it is for the sake of interests, and on the other hand, it is for the feelings of guilt and like-mindedness. Anyway, ever since the situation of the sect master has stabilized, Zhou Qingzi wants to worship them as Buddhas.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Principal Zong looks good!"
Zong Qinyuan came with the second elder, and Gu Liangyi and Yi Yan were also beside them.
Hearing Zhou Qingzi's compliment, he laughed and said a few polite words: "No, Elder Zhou has looked much more radiant since taking the medicine."
The next thing was a conversation between adults. The second elder was worried that Gu Liangyi and Yi Yan would be bored sitting there, so he personally brewed two cups of tea full of spiritual energy for them: "Please enjoy."
"Thank you for your help."
Gu Liangyi quickly took it with both hands, lowered his head and took a sip. He felt that the taste was refreshing and fragrant. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "What kind of tea is this?"
"It is a precious tea that only grows near the Qinling spiritual vein. Because there are often birds with white feathers guarding it, we usually call it White Feather Tea." The second elder introduced, "You must have heard it, the sound similar to the sound of a flute in the middle of the night? That is the sound made by the white-feathered bird when it is looking for a mate."
Gu Liang suddenly showed a look of understanding.
Before, at school, Zhuge Xiao got up from his bed in the middle of the night, cursed and closed all the windows, muttering about which dormitory student was so unethical that he played the flute in the middle of the night, which was a nuisance to others.
I didn't expect that the melodious sound was just the singing of birds.
The spiritual beasts of the world of immortal cultivation are also a major research direction of Mo Da, but the assistant is not with them. After this time of crossing, Mo Da landed in the depths of Qinling Mountains, which is a natural biological paradise. During the time they came to Lin Shenzong, the special action team members who stayed at the headquarters never stopped exploring the surrounding environment.
"During this period, I don't seem to see the two young... Daoists in the sect very often." The second elder wanted to call them young friends, but thinking of Gu Liangyi's cultivation, he changed his words temporarily. "I heard that many white windmills were built in Fenggu?"
Gu Liang nodded: "Yes, we plan to accumulate some wind energy because we need to open a teleportation formation."
What about energy conversion, electrical conduction, etc.? Gu Liang thought that even if he explained it, the Second Elder probably wouldn't understand.
Therefore, he simply adopted the most simple and easy to understand statement.
As expected, the Second Elder did not delve into the wind energy aspect, but was surprised by the teleportation array mentioned by Gu Liang: "You actually have the method of making a teleportation array? Isn't it said that it has been lost for a long time?"
"We can come here because we opened it once before." Gu Liangyi put down the teacup and said, "But now the energy to open the formation has been exhausted. We have been looking for a better way to accumulate energy."
"How's it going?"
Gu Liangyi pursed his lips and did not answer.
Seeing this, the second elder also understood. He touched his chin and planned to find a chance to ask the sect master - just over an hour ago, the sect master finally woke up from his coma, which was why Gu Liangyi and Yi Yan, who had been staying in Fenggu to carry out construction recently, hurried back to Linshen Sect today.
"Don't worry," Yi Yan comforted him, "It's been less than half a month, and we have already built seven windmills. Even if we don't have a high-efficiency energy storage device, we can make up for it with quantity. There will always be a way out. "
"……Um."
Gu Liangyi also felt that he was indeed a little too impatient.
Because he always felt that if he stayed here, he would be letting down those classmates from Mo University who were eager to return home - but this was clearly not his fault.
Maybe Yi Yan was right, he thought, and he should relax a little.
As if sensing Gu Liangyi's change of mentality, Yi Yan gently squeezed his hand under the table.
Gu Liangyi's body suddenly stiffened, but he did not struggle.
The second elder also noticed the little movements of the two young men.
He raised his eyebrows with interest and asked, "Are you two Taoist companions?"
Gu Liangyi didn't know what kind of relationship the Taoist couple he was talking about would be considered on Earth. Were they lovers, or partners in a legal marriage?
Being asked this question suddenly by an elder made him a little flustered, but before Gu Liang could think of how to answer, he heard Yi Yan beside him calmly admit:
"yes."
But the tightening force in his hands told him that Yi Yan was not as calm as he appeared to be.
"Congratulations." The second elder said sincerely.
In the world of immortal cultivation, there are very few cultivators who are willing to form a Taoist couple with their significant other, because their lives are long, and there are emotional problems caused by various accidents and cultivation methods - some are too intense and easily become obsessed and crazy; others are too indifferent and lose love as they cultivate.
The most important thing is, if one party betrays after signing the Taoist Companion Contract, Heaven will send down a thunder tribulation that is more terrifying than the one when a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage ascends to heaven, for 49 consecutive days, to punish the unfaithful person.
Once betrayed, one will be reduced to ashes. How can most people dare to try it easily?
Precisely because the cost of signing a Taoist companion contract is too heavy, at present, most cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation are single.
While thinking about it, the second elder briefly told them some common knowledge about Taoist companions in the world of immortal cultivation, including the need to hold a ceremony to sacrifice to the sky when concluding a Taoist companion contract, the punishment of thunder tribulation after betrayal, etc.
But after listening to the second elder's narration, Gu Liangyi's thoughts began to go astray:
They had always wanted to collect the power of the thunder tribulation, but where in the world are there so many cultivators in the tribulation stage? It would be even more difficult for these people to ascend to heaven. But if there were other ways to attract the thunder...
"Don't even think about it."
Yi Yan narrowed his eyes dangerously and spoke to him in a low voice.
A hint of smile flashed through Gu Liangyi's eyes: "Why, are you afraid that I'll run away?"
Yi Yan snorted softly through his nose.
"That's not what I'm worried about," he said in a hoarse voice, "Gu Liang, I know you too well. If there is a very dangerous way to get Mo Da back to Earth, you will try it no matter what."
"That's true," Gu Liangyi turned slightly to look at him and said, "but I will never do that on the premise of hurting you."
His expression was a little annoyed: "Yi Yan, who do you take me for?"
The second elder happily watched the two young people flirting in front of him - he didn't think Gu Liangyi and Yi Yan were arguing at all, but instead thought they had a good relationship.
Suddenly, he remembered something: "Oh, right, didn't you take a piece of blood ore from the third floor of the treasure pavilion? I forgot to remind you last time. You'd better be careful not to carry this thing with you. Although its greatest function is to act as the center of the formation to attract thunder, it will also breed inner demons in the carrier. The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the reaction."
Gu Liangyi's eyes widened: "What?"
"If the Great Elder hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known it would have such a bad impact," the Second Elder shook his head, "What a pity, it's too late now."
If it weren't for this blood ore, even if the sect master really got into trouble, the condition of the great elder wouldn't have worsened to this extent, causing him to have to live in darkness every day to suppress his inner demons.
Gu Liangyi immediately thought of the video they shot in the basement, and couldn't help but exchange a solemn look with Yi Yan.
Zong Qinyuan who was standing next to him couldn't remain calm after hearing this, because in the previous world, the president of the Magic Guild had specifically told them to always carry the gems with them!
Moreover, the command center also sent people to check it out and they said that it had no radiation. Who could have thought that there would be such side effects?
"You, how do you feel?" Gu Liangyi asked the secondary personality hurriedly.
He couldn't help but start to feel anxious. Now that he thought about it, You had indeed talked to him less frequently in the past few months, and he didn't like to go out for a walk as much.
Gu Liang originally thought that You was just too lazy to speak in the space of consciousness, after all, they were in tune with each other.
Could it be that I was affected by this thing?
"As for feelings, there aren't too many," Gu Liangyou said, "but you often dream about things from the past at night, but I guess you have forgotten them all."
Because of the two personalities, even if Gu Liang doesn't remember the dream he had overnight during the day, Gu Liangyou will help him remember it and keep it in his memory.
Gu Liangyi thought about it carefully and felt vaguely that he had not slept well these past few nights. He thought that he was just used to his own bed.
"Give me the gem." Yi Yan opened his palm towards him with a serious face.
"Have you forgotten that you also have inner demons?" Gu Liangyi took out the ruby from his arms and did not hand it to him. Instead, he looked at the light outside the hall carefully. "But based on my intuition, I think Tina will not harm me. She has no reason to do so, right?"
"What if?"
"Believe me." Gu Liangyi put down the gem and said thoughtfully, "And I always feel that there is a way... Think about what the second elder said just now, is there a possibility that the inner demon can deceive itself?"
Yi Yan: "What do you mean?"
But he quickly reacted and asked in a somewhat surprised tone: "You want to use this method to trick the thunder tribulation? It's too risky!"
Gu Liangyi knew without thinking that his inner demon must be related to his experiences in his youth. At that time, he hated Yi Yan to the core. Doesn't this just meet the so-called "betrayal" standard between Taoist partners?
"No, I think it's entirely possible."
The more Gu Liangyi thought about it, the more he felt there was hope.
Seeing Yi Yan's gloomy face, he turned to lobby Zong Qinyuan: "Principal Zong, you see, the main function of this gem is to be used as the center of the formation to attract lightning disasters, and the great prophet Antonio in the last world also said that I should carry it with me - do you think that the gem in this world was deliberately stored in the Forest God Sect by that person, in fact, as a hint to us?"
Although the sect leader had told him about his life story, and Gu Liangyi also knew that he was a human baby chosen by the representatives of a higher civilization, he did not want to recognize the other party as his father, so he simply chose to call him "that person."
Zong Qinyuan understood who Gu Liangyi was talking about. He thought carefully about the logic behind it and admitted that what Gu Liangyi said made sense.
"Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences," he said. "Now that I think about it, everything was arranged. I even suspect that Antonio was also a representative of a higher civilization in disguise."
But the truth of the matter is not important.
——The important thing is, if Gu Liangyi’s guess is true, then they will have hope of returning home!
Yi Yan was silent for a long time, but finally compromised under Gu Liangyi's sincere gaze.
"You know I can't do anything to you," he sighed, "but have you ever thought about how to eliminate the inner demon after it is born?"
To put it bluntly, inner demons are a series of hallucinations that occur when a person's mind is unstable, and most of them are based on past negative experiences.
It is difficult for ordinary monks to heal. The biggest reason is that when they are in such a state, they often cannot distinguish between reality and illusion, which often leads to mental breakdown and leads them to destruction step by step.
But Gu Liangyi did not have such troubles.
Because he has two personalities - equivalent to two super brains that can solve different problems at the same time and get the correct answer at the same time.
"Let me try," he insisted.
Yi Yan stared at him: "Are you sure?"
Gu Liangyi nodded solemnly.
Zong Qinyuan seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just patted Gu Liangyi on the shoulder:
"Keeping a sense of proportion, Mo Da will fully support you no matter what. Gong Ming will constantly assess your mental state, and I will have the command center complete and deliver the mine-gathering device as soon as possible. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, be sure to tell us immediately."
Before Gu Liangyi had time to be moved, he heard Yi Yan say calmly: "No, you all forgot something very important."
"What?" They both turned their heads and asked at the same time.
"All of what you said is based on what happened after the contracted Taoist partner betrayed you."
Gu Liangyi was silent for a few seconds before finally realizing what Yi Yan meant.
His face gradually became hot, but Yi Yan just looked at him quietly, his eyes focused, and there seemed to be some deep waves surging in the depths of his eyes.
"——So, you want to hold a ceremony with me?"
