The three halls in front, middle and back of Tianshi Hall serve as the axis, with numerous auxiliary buildings built around them.
There is a side hall in the southeast corner of the back hall, and there are disciples guarding the door. Suzaku didn't say anything along the way and led Qin Xiao directly into the side hall.
Qin Xiao saw a statue enshrined in the side hall. He looked carefully and was a little surprised. He felt that the statue was very similar to Tao Zun.
"This is Master's statue." Suzaku just mentioned it without saying much.
Qin Xiao sighed in his heart, thinking to himself that although Dao Zun, the great master, was a member of the Taoist sect, he did not have the normal mind of someone outside the circle.
While people are still alive, they actually give themselves statues.
Is he comparing himself to a god?
Qin Xiao didn't know why Zhuque brought him here. Seeing that Zhuque had already moved behind, he followed him.
When he reached the back of the statue, Suzaku didn't know where he touched it, but a hole slowly appeared on the flat back of the statue.
Qin Xiao knew that there were many agencies on the island, so he was not surprised. He followed Suzaku in, and soon the stone door behind was closed.
Going down the stone steps, there are lampstands at intervals on both sides of the wall, lighting up oil lamps, so it is very bright along the way. Go straight down the last stone step, there is a stone wall in front, but there are passages on the left and right.
It was quiet all around, and Qin Xiao really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Aunt Ying was selling in her gourd.
However, Suzaku turned left and walked along the stone path on the left. After walking for a while, he saw two Tianzhai disciples in front of him. When the two disciples saw Suzaku approaching, they immediately bowed and saluted: "Senior Sister!"
"You guys should step back first!" Suzaku ordered.
After the two disciples retreated, Qin Xiao saw what seemed to be a stone door in front of him. It obviously needed a mechanism to open. Since there were disciples guarding the place, he thought it must not be empty. Just when he didn't know what was inside, he saw Suzaku turn around.
, looked at Qin Xiao and said softly: "Tianzhai must repay his kindness. You helped Tianzhai get through the difficulties this time. Everyone in Tianzhai is very grateful."
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Why are Auntie Ying saying this? Do you and I still need to say such things?"
"Of course I have to say what needs to be said." Suzaku gave a rare smile and said softly, charmingly: "I have a big gift for you, but I don't know if you are willing to take it."
"Big gift?" Qin Xiao was startled, and then said: "Aunt Ying, you gave me the [Three Thousand Seals of the Great Dao]. It was a unique skill of Tianzhai. If you want to repay me, you have already repaid me."
Suzaku shook his head and said: "The Three Thousand Seals of the Great Dao are Tianzhai's unique skill. I gave it to you as Tianzhai's reward for you. The gift I want to give you now is my... my personal gift to you.
"
Qin Xiao saw no one around him, and under the light, he saw the charming Suzaku. He leaned forward and couldn't help but whisper: "Is Aunt Ying going to give herself to me? If so, I will gladly accept it." But in his heart.
I couldn't help but think, there must be a secret room behind this stone door. Could it be that Aunt Ying really wants to repay herself by bringing her here?
Qin Xiao's heart couldn't help but tremble when he thought of the beauty of this beautiful Taoist nun.
Zhuque naturally knew what Qin Xiao was thinking. He glared lightly and said nothing. He turned around and pressed lightly on the stone door. He only heard a "click" sound and a hole appeared on the stone door. It was square and large.
It's not too big, not too small, but it's easy for a pair of fists to get in.
Qin Xiao frowned, but Zhuque had already stepped aside and winked, signaling Qin Xiao to go over and take a look.
Qin Xiao stepped forward and looked through the hole, and saw that it was indeed a stone room inside. The stone room was not big, and a person was lying inside. He took a closer look and was surprised, but he immediately recognized it.
The person inside was obviously Mr. Gu from Bashan.
Taoist Gu and the disciples of Bashan were imprisoned by Tianzhai. At that time, Qin Xiao and other factions were thinking about how to deal with the invasion of the imperial army. The matter was handed over to Tianzhai, and no one had the energy to care where Tianzhai would imprison them.
.
"This is a place of confinement." Zhuque said, "If any Tianzhai disciple makes a mistake, he will be imprisoned here and punished."
Qin Xiao asked doubtfully: "Auntie Ying, the gift you are talking about...is it from Taoist Gu?"
"Don't you think this gift is valuable enough?" Suzaku asked.
Qin Xiao shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Aunt Ying is unexpected. This gift is really unexpected. But what is the use of accepting this gift?" After a pause, he whispered: "Before we go to discuss the matter, Aunt Ying
Ask me to cooperate at the meeting and imprison Gu Dao on Penglai Island. When I asked you why, you only said that you will know when you look back, but I can’t figure it out now. Although Gu Dao is a useless person, Bashan is still there.
, imprisoning their leader here will inevitably lead to incompatibility with Bashan...!"
"The hatred between Tianzhai and Bashan can no longer be resolved. Whether Gu Daoren is imprisoned here is no longer important to the hatred between the two factions." Suzaku said lightly: "But this gift should be very important to you."
Qin Xiao still couldn't understand what Zhuque meant.
Zhuque also approached Qin Xiao, and both of them looked inside through the hole.
Taoist Gu was lying in the stone chamber, motionless, as if he was dead.
Zhuque raised his hand to seal the hole and walked back slowly. Qin Xiao was a little confused and followed Zhuque.
"Gu Taoist's meridians in his limbs have been destroyed by your inner sword. Although it may not be impossible to repair, based on my understanding of medicine, even if there is a way to restore it, it will take at least ten years." Suzaku said as he walked: "This person is insidious.
It’s so cruel that we will never give him a chance to make a comeback.”
Qin Xiao naturally agreed with this.
Gu Daoren was in cahoots with Tantai Xuanye. For this reason alone, Qin Xiao would not have the slightest mercy towards him.
"Although his meridians have been abolished, his internal strength is still there." Zhuque frowned and said: "His true energy is mellow. Although they are both in the Great Heaven Realm, Gong Yanghe of the Sun Moon Alliance is definitely not as good as him. Even Monk Guangyuan of Jinshan Temple
It won't be much better than him. With such power, if an accident occurs, it will be a disaster after all!"
Qin Xiao knew that Zhuque was worried.
Dao Zun was seriously injured by the Sword God's sword. Although he did not die on the spot, no one thought that he would survive for long. However, it took him nearly twenty years to actually recover.
As Tao Zun has learned from his mistakes, as long as Taoist Gu is alive, there will always be a threat. Even if he is imprisoned here, it is still not completely safe.
"Auntie Ying wants to kill him?" Qin Xiao whispered.
Zhuque glanced at Qin Xiao and said, "If I kill him, will I give you a corpse as a gift?"
"I'm confused." Qin Xiao scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and said, "But I still don't understand what Aunt Ying means."
Suzaku stopped and was already quite far away from the stone gate. She thought for a moment and then said: "It's easy to kill him now. But wouldn't it be a pity to just kill him like this? He has a lot of internal energy, and he can't die.
Qi dissipation is more precious than any martial arts magic elixir."
Qin Xiao was stunned, vaguely understood something, and whispered: "Aunt Ying, what do you mean?"
"The gift I give you is not him as a person, but his inner strength. Don't you want it?" Zhuque stared into Qin Xiao's eyes with a smile on his lips: "This is a gift that many people dream of but cannot get."
Qin Xiao asked in shock: "His internal strength?" He really didn't expect that this was the purpose why Suzaku ordered him to come here.
Suzaku said: "Although you have entered the Great Heaven Realm, but... don't be angry if I tell you the truth. Your internal strength foundation is actually not strong. If it weren't for your weird moves, they underestimated you. You thought at the time
It is actually not easy to defeat Gongyang He and Gu Daoren."
Qin Xiao couldn't help but nod.
To deal with Gongyang He, he used the magical skill of replacing flowers and trees, while Gu Daoren was shocked by the sudden inner sword.
Now that I think about it, if I hadn't practiced these two martial arts, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to defeat any of them.
"You are gifted and your cultivation is progressing at a rapid pace. Although it is a good thing, it also has great weaknesses." Suzaku said softly: "Nearly everyone has cultivated the Great Heaven Realm through accumulation over time, so the foundation is very deep. But only
Although you have had many adventures, your foundation is still too weak. If you want to consolidate your foundation and strengthen your foundation, you need to increase your internal strength." After a pause, he continued: "It's just that you have to accumulate internal strength over time, and you're afraid it will cost you ten more.
It takes eight years to lay a solid foundation, which is too long and you can’t wait.”
Qin Xiaodao: "So Auntie Ying wants to use Taoist Gu's inner strength to supplement my foundation?"
"Daoist Gu has deep internal energy. Even if only 50% of his internal energy is left in your body for your use, he can still help you quickly consolidate your foundation." Suzaku said: "In this way, your hope of hitting the eighth level will be greatly increased.
"
Qin Xiao wondered: "In that case, why doesn't Aunt Ying use it for herself? It will be of great benefit to Tianzhai if you increase your strength."
Zhuque stared at Qin Xiao and said, "Do you think I am uneasy and well-intentioned?"
"Of course not, don't think about it." Qin Xiao said: "I just think that if this is really an opportunity, if you want to take charge of Tianzhai, you need it more than me."
Suzaku sighed softly: "I've thought about it too, but... I want to make up for my mistakes."
"fault?"
Suzaku smiled bitterly and said: "There is something that I have never been able to tell you." He lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "If you don't seize this opportunity, maybe if you want to break into the eighth-level realm again, you will.
.....it will become extremely difficult.”
Qin Xiao asked in confusion: "Why?"
"We...when we practiced [Forgetting Love Art], our cultivation levels were actually different." Zhuque said: "My cultivation level is deeper than yours, and my foundation is stronger than yours. If we both cultivate into the Great Heaven Realm, for me,
It’s said to be the last step, but...but when you break into the Great Heaven Realm, in fact...it’s actually surprising.”
"I'm surprised myself." Qin Xiao sighed, thinking that when he was practicing the Art of Forgetting Love, he gave up for a while, but later it was just to help you break into the Great Heaven Realm and enjoy some sexual blessings at the same time.
Suzaku said: "Although you accidentally broke into the Great Heaven Realm, your foundation is too shallow, so it is much more difficult for me to continue practicing. In fact, if you didn't break into the Great Heaven Realm last time and continued to practice hard, it might not be a bad thing for you.
, it will be logical to wait until you have a solid foundation to break into the Great Heaven Realm." Youyou said: "But you broke into the Great Heaven Realm unexpectedly, which is indeed because of your extraordinary talent. It's just that after entering the Great Heaven Realm, every step you take,
It will be extremely difficult, and because your foundation is not solid, if you cannot supplement it, you will have to spend several times more energy than me to make progress. Common sense infers that you will not be able to break into the eighth level for at least twenty years."
Qin Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "So I shouldn't have paid too much attention to the last time I practiced the Art of Forgetting Love."
"It's my fault for not telling you the truth." Zhuque said, "I just thought it was impossible for you to break into the Great Heaven Realm. I was selfish and thought that if I told you that you couldn't break into the Great Heaven Realm, you...
You won’t help me.”
Qin Xiao couldn't help but laugh and said: "Aunt Ying, you are really overthinking this." He leaned close to Zhuque's ear and whispered: "Being able to practice happily with Aunt Ying and enjoy boundless beauty is even better than breaking into the Great Heaven Realm.
attracting me."
Zhuque's cheeks turned red, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Don't talk nonsense." After a pause, he said: "I originally wanted to prepare various medicinal materials for you to replenish your vitality and enhance your cultivation. But I didn't expect that Daoist Gu would be imprisoned.
, with him, it is more effective than any rare medicinal materials."
"I understand what Aunt Ying means." Qin Xiao said: "You are going to use Taoist Gu's internal strength to help me lay a solid foundation." He frowned and said, "It's just that the skill is with him, is he willing to pass it on to me?"
He thought that Su Baoping used the method of moving meridians and unblocking meridians to teach him Qigong. Su Baoping was willing to do so. But would Taoist Gu be willing to give his life's cultivation to him?
Given Mr. Gu's status and temperament, he would not be willing to pass on his skills to anyone even if it meant death.
Zhuque looked very careful, and made sure that the two Tianzhai disciples were not nearby, then he took out a small scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao was a little strange, so he took it and slowly unfolded it, revealing the right side of his head.
The first line reads from top to bottom the four characters "spiritual silkworm secret code", written in a dragon-snake style, which is very free and unrestrained.
However, this scroll seems to be made of animal skin. It is yellow in color and even has brown spots in some places. It shows that it is very old and can be regarded as an ancient scroll.
