"So there are demon cultivators sneaking in here?" Gu Qingxi frowned and said.
"Go check somewhere else." Ye Wuchen said and stood up.
Another guard finally couldn't help but stepped forward and asked with a worried look on his face: "Miss, is there really a demon cultivator sneaking in our city? This is a serious matter. We must report it to the city lord as soon as possible. The city lord is an immortal master, he must have a way."
"Yes, Miss, let's go find the city lord as soon as possible." Another guard also said anxiously.
The two of them had absolute trust in the city lord in their tone.
Gu Qingxi nodded: "Okay, you go and report it, I'll go check other places in the city first."
"But we have to ensure your safety." The guards were reluctant to leave Gu Qingxi behind.
"If you encounter an enemy, I think I should protect you." Gu Qingxi suddenly had a sword in her hand out of thin air. She waved it on the spot, and a deep gully appeared on the ground.
The guards stepped back in shock, and then looked at the sword that appeared out of thin air in Gu Qingxi's hand with burning eyes.
"So the young lady is also an immortal master." A guard said excitedly.
"Ah, no, she is just a cultivator." Gu Qingxi said lightly.
The guards didn't care, they only knew that their city lord was an immortal master, and the young lady who had just returned to the city lord's mansion was also an immortal master. It's true that a tiger father has a dog son!
Then the guards remembered the city lord's wife and the young master who were beaten into pig heads, and they all looked at the deep gully on the ground silently. It seems that the young lady was still merciful when she beat them
. After Gu Qingxi showed her skills, the guards also realized that the young lady really didn't need their protection. There was also a fact that made them ashamed and proud. It was really as the young lady said. Once they encountered danger, it was the young lady who protected them, not them.
"Go, don't follow me." Gu Qingxi asked the guards and maids to leave.
"But, what does the young lady want to eat? No one will serve her." A round-faced maid said worriedly.
Gu Qingxi pointed at Ye Wuchen, and the implication was obvious.
The round-faced maid looked at Ye Wuchen, snorted at him, and left unwillingly.
Ye Wuchen: "..."
After that, Gu Qingxi and Ye Wuchen checked everywhere in the city and found that there were still several places with demonic energy.
There was no abnormality in other places.
"What's going on?" Gu Qingxi and Ye Wuchen were sitting at a street food stall at this moment. Gu Qingxi ordered two bowls of tofu pudding and ate while talking to herself, "The locations of these places seem to have some connection."
Ye Wuchen did not eat tofu pudding. He had never eaten these worldly foods. Moreover, eating too much of these worldly foods would only increase impurities in the body.
"Don't you want to eat it?" Gu Qingxi asked casually after putting a mouthful of tofu pudding into her mouth with a spoon. She didn't take part in the salty and sweet dispute of tofu pudding. She liked the spicy and fresh taste, with red chili oil, pepper powder, soy sauce, bean sprouts, pickled mustard cubes, sesame oil, chopped green onions, and mashed garlic. And this stall sells the taste she likes.
"No." Ye Wuchen refused.
"Oh." Gu Qingxi did not force him, but took another bowl and continued to eat.
"You have eaten too much mundane food..." Seeing this, Ye Wuchen remembered that the girl in front of him was a disciple that Uncle Mo cared about, so he couldn't help but say.
"There are impurities in the body after eating too much?" Gu Qingxi smiled and took over the rest of the words, "I understand the truth, but we cultivators should act according to our nature and should not suppress our nature for some purpose. There are indeed impurities, but according to our cultivation and practice methods, it is easy to eliminate these impurities."
After hearing what Gu Qingxi said, Ye Wuchen was slightly stunned, and then stopped talking.
Ancestor Wanling: "This is the first time I have heard of gluttony being described as so fresh and refined. But it does make sense. Acting according to one's nature is also a manifestation of a firm heart of Taoism."
Facing the complaints of Ancestor Wanling, Gu Qingxi ignored it.
What's wrong with foodies? Long live foodies!
Isn't there a saying that only true love and food cannot be let down?
Gu Qingxi automatically changed this sentence to, only the sword and the food should not be let down.
For a sword cultivator, the sword is the other half of the sword cultivator!
"Do you think these places with demonic energy are a bit strange?" Gu Qingxi was eating tofu brain and thinking.
"..." Ye Wuchen frowned when he heard Gu Qingxi say this, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
And Gu Qingxi also put the spoon in the bowl with a click.
The two looked at each other and said in unison: "It's a formation!"
Ye Wuchen was really surprised when he heard Gu Qingxi's words.
"Do you know this formation?" Ye Wuchen asked.
"I know, the soul-devouring sacrifice formation, once it is opened, there is no way in and out, all the lives in the formation will be sacrificed, not only that, even the soul will be sacrificed." Gu Qingxi's face was solemn. How vicious this formation is, all lives, humans and animals are not spared, this is not counted, even the soul will not be left, and the opportunity for reincarnation will be completely lost.
Hearing Gu Qingxi say this, Ye Wuchen was even more shocked.
Gu Qingxi was not wrong, this was the Soul Devouring Sacrifice Formation. But this formation has long been lost!
Ye Wuchen had seen some ancient formations, all of which were seen in the secret room of the study of the successive sect masters. Only a few people in the Supreme Sect could enter that secret room. There were secret books that had been circulated for a long time, about formations, alchemy, and refining, but many of them were incomplete. Although they were only incomplete, they were also extremely precious and would not be shown to others easily.
Ye Wuchen was also able to see these treasures handed down by the Supreme Sect because he was the only son of the sect master and had outstanding qualifications.
The Supreme Sect was the largest sect in the world of cultivation and had existed for tens of thousands of years. How could its foundation be compared with that of ordinary sects
? The Tianqing Sect was only a Xuan-grade sect and had only existed for a few thousand years. How could there be records of these ancient formations?
Did Gu Qingxi learn about it from her master Mo Tianchen? No, it's impossible! Even though Mo Tianchen had a deep connection with the elders of the Supreme Sect, Mo Tianchen was not a real disciple of the Supreme Sect, and the Sect Master would not show him the secrets of the sect.
So, how did Gu Qingxi know all this?
Also, this Soul Devouring Sacrifice Formation has been lost, so why can it be seen here?
"It's not fully set up yet, let's destroy it quickly." Gu Qingxi no longer cared about eating tofu pudding, stood up, threw a piece of silver, and walked forward quickly. After walking two steps, she felt something was wrong. She could fly, so why did she have to walk?
She summoned a flying sword, stepped on it, and turned to signal Ye Wuchen to come up.
Ye Wuchen glanced at Gu Qingxi's flying sword, hesitated, and stepped on it.
Just as Gu Qingxi was about to take off, she saw many people on the street running to tell each other.
"Hurry up to the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord is giving alms today. Everyone can receive one tael of silver and three dou of rice."
"Hurry up, everyone can receive it, whether old or young."
"Really? Is it okay if my baby is only two days old?"
"Even those who are still in the belly can receive it! Hurry up, hurry up!"
"The City Lord is really a living god."
"The City Lord is originally an immortal master."
