Chapter 572: The First Tribulation, Dao Court
Gu An and Su Jin accompanied Bai Sheng to the imperial city. There was laughter and joy all the way. Bai Sheng had never been so happy. During this period, Gu An would use his clone to replace himself, while he would go to pick herbs.
Su Jin is a ten thousand year old demon who has reached the state of Nirvana, but she still cannot see through the switch between Gu An's true body and clone.
In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
They had not yet arrived at the imperial city, and the imperial examination was still two years away, so Bai Sheng was not in a hurry. He had set out on the journey early, wanting to travel and expand his horizons.
It was a rainy day.
Bai Sheng and Gu An came to a small pavilion in the mountains to rest. Su Jin jumped out of the bookcase, jumped onto Bai Sheng's shoulder, licked his face, as if she wanted to help him wipe the rain off his face.
Bai Sheng was already used to her intimacy and didn't pay much attention to it. He was chatting with Gu An about the local customs and habits of this area. Although this was his first time here, he had already read about it in books, so he was very excited, and the rainy day did not affect his mood.
Gu An held a wine gourd in his hand and drank while listening to Bai Sheng talking about the past and present, and about the masterpieces and famous works that were born in this place, as well as the touching stories.
When Bai Sheng was talking until his mouth was dry, Gu An threw the wine gourd in his hand to him. He took the wine gourd and poured it directly into his mouth.
"I heard that there are ghosts and monsters in this area, but I don't know if it's true or not. I have practiced martial arts for more than 30 years and have never seen any monsters or demons."
Gu An picked up the Qinghong Sword beside him and said in an expectant tone.
Su Jin couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, thinking that he was overestimating his own abilities.
She really wanted to speak, but was afraid of scaring Bai Sheng.
Bai Sheng smiled and said, "If there is, I would also like to meet him."
"You are weak and powerless, aren't you afraid of ghosts?"
"Everyone will die eventually. Compared to living a peaceful life without seeing ghosts or monsters, I will not regret it and will not be afraid even if I die at the hands of monsters and demons."
Bai Sheng smiled freely, his eyes shining.
Gu An felt that although he looked weak, he was actually full of energy, interested in everything, and full of fighting spirit.
This guy has a lot of energy in his bones, he is worthy of being the reincarnation of a celestial god.
Although the origins of the Tianling God are different in each life, he will more or less retain the personality traits of the original body, which is why Xiaowu can attract Su Jin.
Gu An smiled and said, "You should practice martial arts instead of studying."
Bai Sheng stood up, holding the wine gourd in his hand, and made some awkward moves. He smiled proudly and said, "Wouldn't it be better to be good at both civil and military skills? Why don't you teach me a set of sword techniques? I think sword and poetry are more suitable."
"Okay, come now."
"really?"
Hearing Gu An's words, Bai Sheng was surprised and immediately pulled Gu An to practice sword.
After he started teaching sword skills, Gu An stopped joking with Bai Sheng. He hit Bai Sheng with the hilt of the sword from time to time to correct his posture, which made Su Jin furious.
When Bai Sheng accepts her, she will definitely make Gu An look good.
When she thought about this, she found that Gu An was getting stronger and stronger, causing Bai Sheng to scream in pain, which made her even more angry.
"If you are afraid of pain, you can give up."
"It's okay, I can hold on!"
Gu An asked this deliberately, and after hearing Bai Sheng's answer, Su Jin could only bear it.
In the days that followed, whenever they took a break, Bai Sheng would pester Gu An to practice swordplay with him.
In Su Jin's opinion, this set of sword skills is mediocre and it is useless to practice it. She will teach Bai Sheng how to cultivate immortality in the future. Only when he embarks on the immortal path can he stay with her forever.
…
Another half year passed.
The New Year has just passed.
Gu An and Bai Sheng arrived at the gate of the imperial city. Looking at the majestic gate, Bai Sheng couldn't help but raise his arms and cheered.
Su Jin, who was lying on his shoulder, narrowed her fox eyes. She felt a strong demonic aura.
There is a monster in the city, and I'm afraid something bad is going to happen.
"It is worthy of being the imperial city under the feet of the emperor. It is majestic and destined by heaven. It is the most prosperous place in the world." Bai Sheng said excitedly.
Gu An smiled and said, "There is more than one dynasty in this world. It is a bit arbitrary to say that it is destiny."
Bai Sheng glanced at Gu An and asked, "Have you been there?"
"No."
"Then first believe that this is the largest city."
Bai Sheng picked up the book box and strode towards the imperial city. As he walked, he turned back and asked Gu An what was the purpose of his coming to the imperial city.
Gu An's ambiguity made Su Jin more wary of him.
There was a large crowd in front of the city gate, and they were immersed in it and soon disappeared.
at the same time.
The other side of the world.
Li Ya stood on the top of the mountain and looked down at the valley below. The valley was overgrown with weeds and the outline of an ancient attic was vaguely visible.
This is Xuan Gu, the first place he lived when he joined Tai Xuan Sect.
Li Ya looked at the valley in a trance.
A figure came from behind him, it was Long Qing.
"Uncle Li, how about I have someone take care of it?" Long Qing asked, fatigue visible between his brows.
As the battle court approached, he practiced even harder. If Li Ya had not returned, he would not have come out.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Li Ya was still wearing a black suit, with stubble on his face and his hair tied up casually. He exuded the temperament of a wanderer in the world, and did not look like a cultivator.
"No, I'll just take a look. You don't have to come and accompany me. I'll be leaving soon." Li Ya looked down at Xuan Gu and answered softly.
In his eyes, the weeds in the valley disappeared, replaced by fields of medicinal herbs. He saw three teenagers playing.
After hearing this, Long Qing nodded slightly, then turned and left.
He could see that Li Ya was worried, but he had no intention to ask. How could his worries be more important than his life and death? Thousands of years passed, and Long Qing became more and more uneasy, always feeling that a disaster was about to happen.
After Long Qing left, Li Ya remained in a daze, his thoughts wandering.
A mysterious fairy appeared on his shoulder and said, "Still watching. The master is not dead, he just left."
Li Ya replied: "I'm not worried about him, I just want to take a look at the old place before leaving. I may never come back again."
Hearing this, the magical fairy tilted his head and asked in surprise: "Where are you going? You still won't tell me? Ever since you practiced that miraculous skill, I can't hear your inner thoughts. I live in your body, but I feel like an outsider."
When it comes to the latter part, its tone becomes resentful.
"I want to go to the outer world. I don't know where exactly I'm going. I want to follow Gu An's footsteps and look for Zhang Buku. Didn't you say that the power of the Lord of the Divine Realm is still there? Maybe Zhang Buku is still alive."
After saying that, Li Ya turned around and looked up at the sky.
He leaped up, turned into a sword light, and rushed into the sky.
As he got farther and farther away from the ground, the sky turned from blue to black, and stars appeared, quickly becoming brighter.
Sudden.
A powerful magical power descended from above. Li Ya's eyes flashed, and a sword appeared out of thin air in front of him, with the blade facing forward, forcibly cutting off the magical power.
"stop!"
A loud shout came from the sky, and Li Ya slowed down his pace.
He squinted and saw a man in silver armor holding a gun coming towards him. He quickly stopped above him, a thousand feet away.
"Without the order of Heaven, you are not allowed to leave the Tianling World!" The man in silver armor looked down at Li Ya and shouted in a deep voice.
Li Ya asked with disdain: "Heavenly Order? Since when did Tianling World have such a rule?"
He was full of confusion. For the past three thousand years, he had been in seclusion to comprehend the way of the sword, and he returned to Taixuan Sect as soon as he came out of seclusion. He had indeed never heard of the Heavenly Dao Order.
But the fact that the other party dared to speak in a tone that he could control the entire Tianling World was enough to prove that his background was extraordinary, which made him feel ridiculous.
Such a powerful force was born just after the great world was reshaped?
Could it be that a force from outer space has arrived and taken control of the Tianling world in a very short period of time?
The silver-armored man replied, "This heavenly rule has been in place for a thousand years. It was set by the Dao Court. I advise you not to act recklessly. There is the Free Immortal guarding above me. Even if you get past me, you can't go beyond the heavens. If you hurt me, it will be considered a provocation to the Dao Court, and you will never be able to be reborn!"
Dao Court?
Li Ya frowned. He had only been away from the secular world for three thousand years, so how come he suddenly appeared in the Taoist court?
He changed his mind and realized that the world today is vast and boundless. Even three thousand years ago, his understanding of the world was very one-sided. At least he had no idea how big the world was. Perhaps Dao Ting was the overlord on the other side of the world.
"What is the purpose of these heavenly rules? To trap all living beings in heaven and earth?" Li Ya asked sarcastically.
The man in silver armor frowned and said, "Your sword is not simple, you must be a powerful one. You should have lived from the last era to the present. I might as well tell you that a terrible disaster is coming. This will be the first disaster in the Taichu period that affects the entire world. If you go to the outer world during this period, you will only die. The Dao Court is thinking about you and wants to gather the power of the outer world to resist the threat from the outer world together."
