i have a museum of curiosities

Only when Zhang Ye jumped off the iron sword that Gu Zhenyi "lend" him and stood on the top of Qingyun Mountain overlooking the earth did he know what Gu Zhenyi's so-called "Emperor Kongshu" is.

Maggil...it's basically the swordsmanship, isn't it!

"Old Gu, can we talk now? What exactly do you want me to do?" Zhang Ye asked with some displeasure, resisting the feeling of dizziness.

"I need you to open a door for me." Gu Zhen said seriously.

"Open the door?" Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly, "I'm not a thief who slipped through the door to pick the lock, how can I have that ability..."

"It's not an ordinary door." Gu Zhen said, "It's an ancient door standing in the lava lake!"

"What the hell? Lava lake?" Zhang Ye was taken aback, "Why is it related to lava again?"

Gu Zhenyi's expression suddenly felt a little lonely, and after a long time he slowly said: "She...is inside!"

"Who? Where are you meeting?"

Hey, let me go, there is a story!
Zhang also suddenly realized a problem. In order to ensure his survival, he had been trying his best to weaken Gu Zhen's hostility towards him, thus talking a lot of nonsense, only to find that...he didn't know Gu Zhenyi at all!Even if he arbitrarily identified the other party as a "tsundere monster", it was based on the previous conversation.

But what exactly is he going to do, and how much he can pay for that purpose... Zhang also has no idea!
Hearing Zhang Ye's subconscious question, Gu Zhenyi's expression darkened a lot, he opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

Seeing that Gu Zhenyi hesitated, Zhang couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and said, "I said, Lao Gu, you shouldn't be such a coy person, right? What time is this, and you're still secretive, is it interesting? Today I will Leave the words here: If you don't tell me the truth, then I'd rather you kill me than help you anymore!"

"you--"

Gu Zhenyi's complexion changed instantly, the veins on his forehead popped out, his eyes were fixed on Zhang Ye, and his anger was burning.

"Don't look at me like that," Zhang shrugged nonchalantly, and said, "Let me guess... the gate standing in the lava lake is not an ordinary gate, is it? It can make you helpless, and it should be a very powerful gate." And the 'her' behind the door...can make you dream and never forget, it should be your lover...uh, I mean, the one you love!"

Seeing Gu Zhen clenched his right fist tightly, Zhang Ye temporarily changed his words.

"Humph!"

Gu Zhen snorted coldly, but said nothing.

"Don't be in a hurry to 'hmph', I haven't finished yet..." Zhang Ye chuckled, lowered his voice and said, "You are so anxious, but you still look forward and backward, and cover up, there are nothing more than two situations: first,' Her' identity is extremely special, you don't want people to know her identity, or even her existence! The second thing... is what you did to feel sorry for her, right?"

"You..." Gu Zhenyi's expression changed drastically, and he was at a loss for a while.

"Hey, it seems that I guessed right."

Zhang also bumped Gu Zhenyi with his elbow, and said with a smirk, "What did you do to her? The train turned a corner?"

"Wh...what is the turn? What is the 'fire...car'?" Gu Zhenyi's face turned red for some reason, but he still looked at Zhang Ye curiously.

"Just to ask if you cheated!"

"What is 'derailment'?"

Zhang couldn't help giving him a blank look, but seeing his puzzled look, he changed his mind and said, "Are you having an affair with another girl?"

"Nonsense!" Gu Zhen snorted coldly, flicking his sleeves violently, his face full of anger.

"Oh...it doesn't seem to be..." Zhang Ye suddenly lost interest.

Huh?its not right!I'm not a gossip person, why am I so interested in this kind of thing...it must be Tang Sanqi!That's right, it's her!

"Actually, none of your guesses are right!" Gu Zhenyi sighed deeply, and said calmly: "The gate of the lava lake is just a very thick and heavy stone gate with a seal. You can push it away with brute force. The reason why you are needed is because the "sacred blue flame" is burning at the bottom of the lava lake all the year round, and no one in the entire longevity world can pass through. And the "she" behind the door... is actually my mother! So after being locked... it was actually to save me..."

Zhang couldn't help being a little confused.

"'Youlan Holy Flame'...what is it? Isn't it normal to save your mother? Why are you hesitating and covering up?" Zhang couldn't help being speechless.

I thought there was some gossip, but it turned out to be about saving lives...

"'Youlan Sacred Fire', also known as 'Soul Fire', as the name suggests, is a flame that burns the soul. It is also Qi Sansi's method of 'transforming' Yin spirits." Gu Zhenyi said slowly, "So I want to Rescuing my mother can only be done by mastering the source of all fires, burning the world!"

"Oh... that's what happened! That's why you keep saying that you are looking for Fen Shi." Zhang Ye touched his smooth chin, then slightly frowned, and said, "That's not right! Since I am so important to you , Why did you let Qi Sansi think about it before when they wanted to deal with me? What if I was killed by them? How can you save your mother? "

Gu Zhenyi took a deep look at Zhang Ye, and then slowly said: "First, with the ability to burn the world, a few cultivators who have entered the Taoist realm can't pose any threat at all! Second, at that time, I was not sure about you. It's Burning World. I didn't finally confirm your identity until you exuded the aura of Burning World when you killed Qi Sansi."

"Heh...why didn't I know that there was a world-burning aura exuding from me?" Zhang couldn't help but give him a blank look, and then said without further entanglement, "Okay, anyway, after all, this matter has nothing to do with me. It doesn't matter, just treat it as a favor for you! Favors, you have to pay them back!"

The corners of Gu Zhen's eyes trembled, and he continued, "You said earlier that your mission is to kill Yin spirits?"

"Yes." Zhang also nodded.

"Then it has something to do with you." Gu Zhen said with an arc of his mouth, "It seems that you didn't listen to me carefully just now, so I'll say it again—the 'sacred blue flame' in the lava lake is Qi Sansi Waiting for someone to 'transform' the source power of Yinling..."

Zhang Ye was taken aback for a moment, and then said happily, "So...there are many ghosts in the lava lake?"

"a lot of."

"how many?"

"Hundreds and thousands!"

"Hiss—boss, tell me, how do you go? How many do you kill? Do you have any special requirements?"

"..."
.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Ye stood on the iron sword floating in the air, looking palely at the feet of Bai Yuzhang, the "turbulent" lava lake like a blue ocean that could not be seen at a glance.

The waves are not waves, but the blazing flames of the "Silent Blue Sacred Flame"!What was turbulent was not the sea water, but Zhang Yeqiang's uncontrollable tears!
"This is the 'lake' you mentioned?!" Zhang couldn't help yelling, "Gu Zhenyi, I believe your evil! I @#￥%*..."

On the one hand, Zhang Ye was cursing and chattering non-stop. On the other side, Gu Zhenyi made a helpless movement of digging out his ears, and then flipped his hands. The iron swords under their feet suddenly pointed down, rushing towards the bottom of the lava lake. stab down...

"Gu Zhenyi! I'm Throwing Lei's mother!!!"

Accompanied by Zhang Ye's ear-piercing scolding, the two bodies fell rapidly, and finally stopped at a position more than ten feet away from the "Youlan Holy Flame".

A huge stone gate stands in the middle of the dark blue lake of fire, with golden light flashing continuously above the stone gate, presumably it is the seal restriction that Gu Zhenyi mentioned!

Zhang Ye looked around and finally understood why Gu Zhenyi couldn't push the stone door open.

It turned out that the "sacred blue flame" burning around the stone gate had already surrounded the stone gate layer by layer, and the height of the flame was much higher than the stone gate.

But it's strange to say that this "sacred blue flame" is not as real as ordinary flames, it always looks a bit hazy, and even the flames as a whole present a translucent texture, as if what is burning is not a flame, It's like blue ice cubes...

The bottom of the lava lake is not only the "blue flame".

In fact, the location of the "Youlan Sacred Flame" is only in a huge pothole, and there are many stone platforms and rock pillars around it.I don't know how many corpses are covered on it-human and animal.There are also some huge corpses of creatures that Zhang can't name at all.

Some corpses are still fresh, but most of the flesh has already decayed, some have only bones, and some bones have been calcified...

Among those corpses, Zhang also saw dense black shadows—needless to say, they were the ghosts turned by the "blue flame"!

But the question is... Isn't the "Silent Blue Holy Flame" dedicated to burning souls?How can these ghosts still survive around here?
Zhang Ye had sharp eyes, and quickly discovered the difference between the Yin spirits hovering among the corpses and the Yin spirits transformed by Qi Aoxue's resentment in Xu's forbidden area: These Yin spirits seemed to have something like silk threads on their bodies, and the other end of the silk threads , leading to the "Blue Sacred Flame" without any accidents!
"This is..." Zhang couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and suddenly a ridiculous idea came to his mind: "...'Youlan Holy Flame' controlled these ghosts?!"

Gu Zhen gave an expressionless "hmm", and then said, "I know what you are doubting. That's right, 'Youlan Holy Flame' has its own consciousness, it is a living thing!"

"hiss--"

Zhang couldn't help but gasped, and then said, "Are you sure... I can handle this thing?"

"People who have the source of fire are not afraid of any flames." Gu Zhenyi replied: "Don't worry, I will watch here. If you are in danger, I will take action as soon as possible."

"Thank you so much!" Zhang couldn't help but give him a blank look, and said brokenly: "It's as if you can deal with the 'Youlan Holy Flame'..."

Looking at the huge stone gate, Zhang Ye frowned.

"I said... how to open this stone gate?"

"Go to the stone gate and push it away." Gu Zhenyi wrote lightly.

"Huh? Are you sure you're not kidding me?" Zhang couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and said, "The obvious restriction on the stone gate...the golden light is shining! Do you think I'm blind?"

"Oh...that's just a blindfold."

Gu Zhenyi touched his nose with an unnatural expression, then took out a palm-sized jade tablet from his sleeve, handed it to Zhang Ye, and said: "When the time comes, you will press this jade tablet on the stone gate to restrain nature will be broken."

Zhang also tilted his head suspiciously, "Really?"

"absolute!"

All right, I'll trust you again!
Zhang Ye held the jade card tightly in his hand, gritted his teeth, and jumped off the iron sword...
