The person who spoke was an old man with green hair and a long beard that reached to his chest. When he walked, his feet did not touch the ground, but stood on two two-foot-long silver fish. Behind him, five-color nebulae billowed and flowed endlessly.
"The Demon King is too polite."
Those who respond are blameless.
Qin Menglin and Wei Qingqi were also close to Gui Wujiu, and the three of them formed a group.
This place is the Peacock Clan, the Haolan Realm among the eighty-one realms.
Less than half a month after the three of them returned from the "Great Yin Yang Cave", they immediately received an invitation from the Peacock Clan to come as a guest.
Even though the clan leader Kong Wu personally received him and welcomed him with a feast, the treatment was not bad. However, he never explained the purpose of his visit, as if it was just an ordinary banquet. It was not until the banquet was over that the old man appeared in front of him.
Out of the water.
The Demon King Kong Ku of the Peacock Clan is known as the number one divination figure in his clan, but his weight is not inferior to that of the Demon King Kong Rong.
Demon King Kong Ku led the way first, walking slowly in this small world where the sun and moon could not be distinguished, nine stars were in the sky, and it looked like a clear night shining brightly, until he came to the bottom of a dangerous building with a thousand feet.
When Gui Wujiu looks up, he can easily identify some details.
In this high-rise building, the higher-level pavilions are brightly lit and dotted with stars. Even if there is no one on some floors, the doors and windows are still open, as if just for ventilation. But the lowest floor of this building has strict doors and no restrictions.
The formation is surrounded by a huge copper lock on all three sides, and the front is locked. The formation is powerful and cannot be ignored. It is obviously an inaccessible place.
Demon King Kong Ku solemnly took out an object and used his magic power at the same time. After more than ten breaths, the formation power disappeared.
There is a doorway in front of you. Looking from the entrance, it is pitch black and you cannot see your fingers.
Gui Wujiu and the other three people entered one after another without any doubts.
This place is really a strange place.
Gui Wujiu, Qin Menglin, and Wei Qingqi all felt dizzy for a moment, and then quickly adjusted themselves.
The place where the three of them were standing seemed to be completely turned upside down. For a moment, everyone who entered felt that they were in a state of having their feet in the air and their heads down.
The darkness was also dispelled immediately, and the stars were scattered all around, making it difficult to tell the distance from near, just like the brightness of dawn.
This place is not so much a palace as it is a "realm within a realm" embedded and suppressed here. In terms of size, it is roughly the same as Gui Wujiu's "Swallowing the Twin Pearls" space.
Demon King Kong Ku stretched out his hand and said: "Three fellow Taoists, please take a look."
Gui Wujiu took a closer look.
This space is completely empty. There is only one thing around.
This object is placed in the center of this space. It is a bronze ball about the size of a person surrounding it.
Although this sphere is not made of copper, or is too thin, and is refined using secret methods, it is transparent. It clearly shows that this is a hollow copper ball. In the middle of the copper ball, the faint light refracts, revealing its middle age.
It seems to be filled with clean water. The water level is just halfway up and stops at the widest part of the belly of the ball.
In addition to the clear water, there seems to be a small copper ball about an inch in diameter hidden in it. The color is darker than the large hollow copper ball. The movement is impermanent, rolling and flowing, and living in uncertainty.
Demon King Kong Ku said: "Do the three fellow Taoists have anything to say?"
The three of them, Gui Wujiu, exchanged glances and remained silent.
This matter was very strange. The three of them knew nothing about what was in front of them. Demon King Kong Ku didn't decompose it first, but asked Gui Wujiu and the other two if they had anything to say.
Demon King Kong Ku chuckled twice and said: "Don't worry about it, three fellow Taoists. Just look at the things in front of you and say whatever comes to mind. Regardless, there must be connections and evidence, and there is no need to seek roots in Taoism.
When you are excited and your mind moves, everything is possible."
Qin Menglin followed the good deeds and said first: "Then let's just talk nonsense."
Demon King Kong Ku said: "I don't dare."
Qin Menglin said: "The image in front of me is water. But just now, what I thought of in my mind was a ball of flame. It seemed like there was a ball of overwhelming dry wood, which was temporarily closed. It will only burst out when the time comes. It will destroy all things.
All turned into ashes.”
If Qin Menglin said what he said was based on the image of the copper ball, I'm afraid it would be too much. There is clearly no connection between the two. But since Kong Ku, the demon king, has made it clear, where is the interest?
Now that the thought has arisen, it is better to speak truthfully.
Wei Qingqi thought for a while and said: "What I see is like a leaf of duckweed. Its height is higher than the nine heavens, and its humbleness is lower than the underworld. Between the rise and fall, the mystery is unpredictable."
Demon King Kong Ku nodded repeatedly, but turned his gaze to Gui Wujiu, expressing his hope.
Gui Wujiu frowned, then suddenly smiled and said, "Gui Wujiu saw two words: opportunity."
Qin Menglin turned his head slightly and glanced at him.
Demon King Kong Ku said it was "the first thought". Unlike Qin Menglin and Wei Qingqi who really had wild imaginations, Gui Wujiu was a "real person". His first instinct was to see the depth inside.
If the color of the small green copper ball were two points darker, green and almost black, it would be almost very similar to the opportunity I got in the Shuangyou Cave in Panlufeng, Yueheng Zong.
Nameless ink beads.
From the time when I stumbled on the jade tripod to finally finding my way out, the starting point for making something out of nothing should be this thing.
However, it was naturally impossible to inform Demon King Kong Ku of this matter, so he omitted all the details and followed his spirit, saying the word "chance".
Gui Wujiu had already noticed that Demon King Kong Ku had just been treating others with courtesy. However, his energy had been highly concentrated. Compared with the behavior of a demon king who had a long history of meritorious deeds and long-standing fame, it seemed that he was very polite.
Slightly dissonant.
At this time, after hearing the words of the three people, his sharpness and sharpness suddenly relaxed.
Qin Menglin thought thoughtfully and said: "I think now the answer to the mystery can be revealed."
Demon King Kong Ku said: "Exactly. This thing is called the 'Word Image Picture', and it is the supreme treasure in the divination sect of my peacock clan."
Gui Wujiu and the other three people were slightly moved, not expecting it to be so heavy.
Demon King Kong Ku came and explained the mystery to the three of them.
There is always no demon ancestor sitting in the Peacock clan. Although the demon kings are superb in divination, it is naturally difficult to get the upper hand if they want to fight with the Taoist Master. Let's go back to the time before the Qing Zhuo Xuanxiang appeared in the world, where the Sanglican clan and Jiao Si
The prelude to the competition between the clans fully illustrates this truth.
However, although there are small constraints, we won’t suffer too much in major areas.
First, if there is a crisis, the saints of the clan will naturally leave instructions and words to guide the direction; second, it lies in this "verbal picture".
This "verbal image diagram" with the image of half water and one bead is not a tool for precise divination. It is often used to show the direction of "good or bad" with the two images of "floating and sinking".
If the beads float on the water, it is a good sign; if the beads sink to the bottom, it is a bad sign.
Although it looks crude, it is of considerable value if you can look at its size.
But in addition to the two phenomena of "floating and sinking", there are occasionally extremely rare phenomena that appear.
When encountering such a situation, no matter how clever your Taoist magic, divination and divination methods are, you will not be able to figure out the cause.
The solution is also quite clever——
Find a few people with good connections and clear minds, and listen to their explanations. What they say is the secret of heaven. Then after experiencing this turning point, people of the same clan who are proficient in divination will analyze it.
There is another condition, that is, the person who does this must know nothing about this secret treasure in advance. In a completely blank state of mind, he must express his true feelings at first sight.
In fact, with the special qualifications of Kong Quan, the direct disciple of Demon King Kong Ku, he could have done this. However, when Demon King Kong Ku asked about it the day before, he learned that Kong Quan had inadvertently read a secret code in the sect a few months ago.
I have seen written records of "Yan Xiang Tu" in the book. Although it is only a few words, the secret has been lost.
In desperation, I came to Gui Wu Guo.
Qin Menglin understood the whole story and smiled and said: "The Demon King made a miscalculation. Wouldn't it be a huge waste to invite all three of me here this time?"
Obviously, due to this strange rule restriction, a person only has one chance in his life to ask a person with good connections to solve the mystery. If you only invite one of the three people, then ask him to keep it a secret and not tell others.
It seems more affordable and gives you two more opportunities.
Demon King Kong Ku smiled unnaturally and said, "I'm ashamed. I'm asking for your trust."
After hearing the opinions of the three people, it can be seen that the "verbal picture" shows that it is not the "extremely bad omen" that he is most worried about. Demon King Kong Ku is also a big stone in his heart.
Let’s start from the beginning, it is still the aftermath of the first “clear and turbid phenomenon” that appeared in this world.
After this object was collected by the Peacock Clan, due to its special use, the various envoys did not have the slightest controversy, and it was recommended that the Chi Mei Clan should obtain this Xuanxiang Jingyun.
Through the spell cast by the Yin Sect Master Jie Dao, and the means that had been prepared long ago, this object was transported to the ancestral land of the Chimei Tribe within three days.
Only twelve hours after it took root, good news came.
Thirty-six years later, the first rare treasure will be born within a thousand to ten thousand miles around the ancestral land of the Red Mei Tribe. Then, with twelve years as the boundary, secret treasures will be dropped one after another. The second secret treasure will be far away from the secret place of sacrifice.
One hundred thousand to one million miles away, and then as far away as possible. The later the time comes, the stronger the effect will be. It will not end until it escapes the confines of the Chi Mei Clan's territory.
Counting on the fingers of one hand, the treasures obtained by the Red Mei tribe through this "pure and turbid mysterious phenomenon" will reach at least five.
Originally, according to everyone's expectations, I would be satisfied if I could get three rare treasures. I didn't expect this unexpected surprise.
As for the remains of the pure and turbid black elephant, they were naturally collected by the peacock clan.
Up to this point, this matter can be regarded as a good thing that everyone is happy with. However, the next two things are so weird that it is hard to say whether they are a blessing or a blessing.
The first one to bear the brunt, the dust of the first "Pure and Turbid Xuanxiang" has settled. As the winner of this battle of skills, the Peacock clan, through the involvement of fate, easily divined the timing of the birth of the next "Pure and Turbid Xuanxiang". It was on the ninth day of the lunar month.
Sixteen years later. That is, twelve years after the fifth rare treasure belonging to the Red Mei tribe appeared.
The strange thing is not the time, but the place where it was born.
Demon King Kong Ku stopped here and said: "Three fellow Taoists, you might as well guess where the next clear and turbid mysterious image will be born?"
Gui Wujiu had a thought in his mind and said: "It may be a certain clan other than the eight clans; or it may be the clan that was erased."
Since you have this question, if you guess in an unconventional direction, you will naturally have these two ideas.
Demon King Kong Ku nodded repeatedly and said, "Exactly. Fellow Taoist, you are right."
If it hadn't been for Demon King Kong Ku's suggestion, Gui Wujiu and the others would never have thought of going there. But since he said there were differences, not only Gui Wujiu, but also the first thoughts in Qin Menglin and Wei Qingqi's minds were the same.
It's here.
The realm of the Tengshe clan.
This family has been destroyed for a long time, and it stands to reason that all the savings of luck have long been dissipated. I wonder where the writing will be done if God's will favors it?
While Gui Wujiu and the other three were bowing their heads in thought, Demon King Kong Ku continued: "It's not just the strange location. The second clear and turbid Xuanxiang that was born after ninety-six years is also a strange thing in itself."
"Two main realms and sixteen auxiliary realms. It seems that two pure and turbid mysterious phenomena are conjoined and come into the world together. This has never been seen in previous records."
Wei Qingqi's eyes flashed with brilliance, and she said: "I can imagine that the magical uses of this thing will also surpass those of the past."
Gui Wujiu had several thoughts floating around in his mind, but it was too early to make any assertions and he was not sure. So he suppressed it and turned around and said, "I don't know what the other thing the Demon King said was referring to?"
Demon King Kong Ku shook his head repeatedly and sighed: "That's what happened today."
As the master of divination in the Peacock clan, every once in a while, ranging from a few years to a few decades, he would come and see what was going on in the "Word Image Picture".
For a long time, this thing has been calm and appears to be mostly floating, which indicates that the peacock family's fortune is booming.
Only more than a hundred years ago, there seemed to be some slight movement. Observe this object for an hour, and it might sink for a moment or two in the middle.
Although the phenomenon of floating has been maintained for a long time, the Peacock clan did not dare to ignore it. They judged that the disaster of this time's final product was not trivial, and this incident was also one of the basis.
Until decades ago, the Peacock Clan, Yin Sect, Red Mei Clan, Tianma Clan, Lifu Clan, etc. formally formed an alliance, transforming into a powerful force like a behemoth. Kong Ku Demon King originally planned to have no worries. But after observing this thing,
The elephant is still floating and sinking. If you calculate it carefully, it actually takes a little longer to sink.
Although the phenomenon of rising prices is still the mainstream, this change must be treated with caution.
Fortunately, this matter is not unexplainable. Because around the ancestral court of the Holy Cult, a group of extremely powerful wings have also gathered. We are strong, and the enemy is also strong; so we cannot easily say victory or defeat.
Until this time, the battle between the pure, turbid and mysterious phenomena was the first time the two camps met, and it ended in our victory.
In this case, the situation of this "verbal image picture" should be improved, right?
Demon King Kong Ku came to see it with great expectations. However, he saw that this picture was beyond the ordinary "floating and sinking" phenomenon, and became a mess. Unable to understand its good or bad changes, he felt worried.
Because according to the principles of divination, signs of chaos and uncertainty are definitely not a good omen.
Gui Wugui thinks in his heart.
Although Qin Menglin and Wei Qingqi are more talented than themselves in finding fate and identifying opportunities, Gui Wujiu always feels that this time his most simple and intuitive thoughts are the most accurate.
What does this oracle mean?
If there had been no nameless ink beads, the Three Tribulations Lotus would not have been destroyed. It would be a matter of course for him to achieve great power in the short-term path. In this way, he would still be the first-rate person in the Nine Sects sequence, and it would not be hopeless to achieve great power in the Tao realm.
.Maybe he can keep pace with Ning Suchen, Du Niansha, Mu Mu, Jiang Hai and others.
The emergence of Wuming Mozhu forced him to embark on a difficult path. But his upper limit also has this "every step forward, one step further".
What the metaphorical diagram shows is by no means a bad omen, but a great opportunity that transcends order and inertia.
The calamity of final product...Eight Righteousness and Five Wonders...
It's just that Gui Wujiu keeps this thought in his heart for the time being, but he won't mention it to Demon King Kong Ku rashly.
