Gu An indeed underestimated the range of the White Spirit Rat's activities. He followed the White Spirit Rat for more than ten miles, but the White Spirit Rat still did not stop.
The farther away from Xuangu, the lower his interest.
Although he had been to the outer gate, it was only a route.
With Xuan Valley as the center and a radius of more than twenty miles, he felt that there would be danger, even if he was already at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Fortunately, the White Spirit Rat did not keep walking. When it was about twenty miles away from Xuan Valley, the White Spirit Rat stopped.
This is still a mountainous area, with a small stream flowing down from the mountains. The white spirit mouse stopped by the stream and began to circle.
Gu An walked over and saw that there were many flowers and plants on both sides of the stream, as well as many stones of different sizes.
He grabbed the white spirit rat and swept away with his right leg.
boom--
Grass clippings flew into the air and stones flew everywhere. Gu An cleared a large open space with just one sweep of his legs.
He looked carefully and saw a square stone slab by the stream.
Good guy!
Manhole cover?
Gu An walked to the stone slab and squatted down. There were mysterious patterns carved on the stone slab. He had never seen them before, whether they were words or pictures.
He could feel a trace of spiritual energy leaking out from the edge of the stone slab. Perhaps this was the reason why the White Spirit Rat was able to find this place.
The Foundation Establishment Realm already has spiritual consciousness. Spiritual consciousness is an invisible and intangible force. When spiritual consciousness is revealed, it is like opening the eyes of the sky and can peer through objects.
Gu An rarely uses it, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have spiritual consciousness. In fact, you can cultivate spiritual consciousness when you reach the seventh level of Qi Training Realm.
He immediately gathered his consciousness and wanted to penetrate the stone slab and peer into the space below.
However, as soon as his consciousness touched the stone slab, it was bounced away by the mysterious force, causing his body to tremble.
So strong?
Even the consciousness at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm cannot penetrate its restrictions...
Gu An hesitated. With such a powerful restriction, could there be a huge danger hidden underneath?
There is spiritual energy surging inside, either it is cultivating some kind of heavenly material or earthly treasure, or someone is retreating down there.
no!
Don't be reckless!
Observe for a while first!
Gu An let go of the white spirit rat, and then moved the surrounding stones. The weeds blocked the mysterious stone slab. After completely covering the stone slab, he caught the white spirit rat and turned back to the valley.
The white spirit rat squeaked, but he ignored it.
After returning to Xuan Valley, Gu An did not mention this matter to anyone, as if he had never left the valley.
In the evenings that followed, in addition to carrying out daily tasks, Gu An would also go near the stone slab to observe.
Night after night, the covering around the stone slab showed no sign of being moved.
In addition, Gu An discovered that Wu Xin would go to the mountains and forests every night, not knowing what he was looking for.
He did not expose Wu Xin, but his intuition told him that Wu Xin's identity was not simple.
A person at the second level of Qi training realm can have a lifespan of more than three hundred years, probably because he has practiced some kind of miraculous skill.
Gu An had used his spiritual consciousness to observe the practice of Wu Xin, but he didn't see anything special about it. It looked like a normal practice of absorbing qi.
Just like that, the hot summer passed.
Xuan Valley was gradually covered with pale yellow color. Gu An opened up seventeen gardens in the surrounding mountains and forests. The workload increased and Xiaochuan and others had to patrol every day.
This evening.
Cheng Xuandan found Gu An and motioned with his eyes for Gu An to follow. The master and apprentice walked towards the mountain peak to the north.
Gu An looked at Cheng Xuandan's back with a complicated mood.
Cheng Xuandan's lifespan has dropped again, and his age is the same as his current lifespan, which means he is about to die.
Although he was tricked by Cheng Xuandan, Cheng Xuandan did pay a lot to him. When someone is about to die, he will inevitably feel a little sentimental.
He tried to convince himself not to be sad.
What he pursues is the path to immortality and immortality. He will experience many life, separation and death in the future, and he will get used to it sooner or later.
Of course, the premise is that he can survive forever.
Wu Xin, who was watering the water, saw the figures of Gu and An, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He silently wrote down the direction in which the two of them were going. There must be some mystery in that forest.
After entering the forest, Cheng Xuandan said: "I will take you to the entrance to the underground. This place cannot be told to anyone else, including your junior brothers and junior sisters. They may be close to you today, but once they leave the Medicine Valley in the future,
After experiencing outside, they will become strangers to you."
Gu An did not refute, he had always been aware of this.
As long as Ogawa and others do not give up their goal of becoming outer disciples, they will part ways sooner or later.
Gu An hesitated for a moment and asked: "Master, were you a member of Qianqiu Pavilion from the beginning, or were you selected by Qianqiu Pavilion later?"
Cheng Xuandan's steps were heavier than before, and he replied: "My experience as a teacher is the same as yours, and my identity is inherited from my teacher."
Gu An was silent.
He suddenly felt that Cheng Xuandan was also a pitiful person.
"After I did something to help Master, I can't take off this identity, but I don't regret it as a teacher."
Hearing Master's words, Gu An stopped talking.
He hasn't done anything yet, can he go ashore?
Cheng Xuandan began to talk about his experience with his master. In his words, his master had a weird temper, sometimes severe, sometimes jumpy, like a child.
In his words, his master is like an old child who has not grown up.
They walked all the way to the back of the mountain, and Cheng Xuandan stopped in front of a mountain wall covered with moss and grass vines.
"Master, is the master alive or dead now?" Gu An couldn't help but ask.
He thought of the stone slab that he had been paying attention to. The stone slab was not far from Xuan Valley, and the owner of Xuan Valley was a demon spy. He had reason to suspect that the stone slab was left by Cheng Xuandan's master.
Cheng Xuandan replied: "He said goodbye and left before he passed away. I will follow his example. I will leave tomorrow. I will leave everything in this Medicine Valley to you."
Gu An frowned, he was not thinking about Cheng Xuandan, but his master.
In other words, Cheng Xuandan’s master may still be alive?
Cheng Xuandan took out a compass from his sleeve. He pushed away a piece of grass and vines on the mountain wall and found a groove. Then he pressed the compass on the groove. As his spiritual power was poured into it, the compass began to tremble and burst out with a weak sound.
light.
Gu An clearly felt that Cheng Xuandan's aura became weaker.
He couldn't help but worry that Cheng Xuandan would suddenly die here.
The mountain wall began to tremble, but the sound was not loud. Soon, a hole appeared on the mountain wall, and Gu An had to lower his head to enter.
Cheng Xuandan said: "Go in, my master is waiting for you outside."
Gu An hesitated and said: "Master, please give me the compass. I will go in after you leave."
Cheng Xuandan smiled, then took off the compass and handed it to Gu An.
A stone door emerged from the entrance of the cave on the mountain wall and blocked the entrance again. It fit tightly and looked very intact. It didn't look like there was a hole at all.
Cheng Xuandan turned around and walked down the mountain, followed by Gu An.
"The underground space has its own complete set of formations. If you want to plant some spiritual grasses and flowers that you don't want to be known about in the future, you can choose the following." Cheng Xuandan said softly, as if he was explaining the funeral arrangements.
Gu An listened carefully. He was also very conflicted in his heart. He was grateful for Cheng Xuandan's actions to him, but he always felt a little defensive in his heart.
Don't let up until the end.
Cheng Xuandan is going to die anyway, wait until he is dead before relaxing.
