First-class Celestial Master [Rebirth]

The next day, Zhou Tong and his group waited at Chu's house, and Mr. Chu took them to Hantan to ask to see Tongtiangu.

Luo Lianhai didn't sleep well all night. Yesterday, Mr. Chu informed him that he was going to Tongtiangu today. He was full of worries and couldn't sleep.Thinking that his fate was tied by a thread, whether he would live or die depended on Tong Tiangu's nod, he felt that his life was too muddy.

He had bad luck when he was young, was pushed around by several relatives, did not stay in the family for a long time for more than a year, lived in no fixed place, and his life was like a fly, which led to his current wild nature.For Luo Lianhai, nothing is more important than making oneself live more comfortable, what is convenient is good.But now, he deeply realized that he was wrong.

It is very important to live well, but you have to live well.

Therefore, Luo Lianhai is the most active one.

He had burnt incense and bathed early in accordance with old master Chu's request, and even went through the etiquette of the Chu family's request to see the Tongtiangu without saying much, and sat in the hall waiting for them.

Chu Zeyun was afraid that he would be nervous, so he came here to talk to Luo Lianhai.

But Zhou Tong, who should have been nervous, was not nervous at all, as if he was watching the excitement.

The carp leaping over the dragon gate was too mysterious, the more he thought about it, the more illusory it became, but because of this, he relaxed instead.

Know the fate of all people and things, let's go with the fate.

The cold pool is located in the depths of Qiyun Lake.

Although it is named Hantan, it is not as cold as its name. It is just an ordinary water lake, but the lake water is exceptionally clear. In a slightly shallower place, you can even see fish swimming at the bottom of the lake, which is clearly visible.

Mr. Chu built an altar next to a big stone by the cold pool, dressed in the Taoist robe of the Chu family, waving the blue-faced long flag in his hand, and kept calling the name of Tongtiangu, but the cold pool was extremely quiet, not even a splash of water move.

Seeing this, Luo Lianhai showed despair.

Mr. Chu called out several times, until his mouth was dry and there was no response from the pool.

Not quite right...

Grandpa Chu pondered for a while, walked to the edge of the pool, and cut his finger with a blade. Chu Zeyun exclaimed, "Grandfather——"

"It's okay." Mr. Chu dripped the blood from his finger into the pool, but saw the blood splashing into the water, and the water splashed for a moment, showing an unusual scene.

Blood and water were originally compatible, but at this moment, the drop of blood that Old Master Chu dropped into the pool was rolling on the surface of the water, being constantly pushed by the slightly rippling water patterns.

It was the first time for everyone to see this scene, and Zhou Tong also watched intently, thinking that this summoning technique was quite interesting.

Summoning is a relatively advanced technique in mystic arts.

Different from the basic skills of using spells and formations, the summoning technique itself requires the caster to have precise control over the aura, which is very demanding.

The transfer of five ghosts he used before was a kind of summoning technique, but it was a summoning technique borrowed from charms, which was slightly inferior to the method used by Mr. Chu today.

Ling Yuan suddenly said: "It's over."

Zhou Tong: "?"

The next moment, the drop of blood was slapped down by the rising water and sank to the bottom of the pool.

Mr. Chu was taken aback for a moment, his face suddenly turned ugly.

Ling Yuan said: "The Tongtian Drum is not here."

Zhou Tong was surprised: "What?"

"Tongtiangu is not here." Old Master Chu said in a deep voice, his extremely serious tone made the hearts of everyone present sink.

Chu Zeyun took a step forward and asked, "But Tongtiangu has been living in Qiyunze Cold Pool, why isn't it here?"

Mr. Chu was silent for a long time before lowering his voice and saying, "Stolen."

Now, a few juniors feel even more exaggerated, stolen?How can it be?It is not even possible to invite the Tongtian Drum, so how could it be stolen?But they all know how old Mr. Chu is. Although he is usually kind and cute and always likes to joke with the juniors, he is always very serious at critical moments and never plays.

It seems that the theft of the Tongtian Drum is a certainty.

Chu Zeyun asked worriedly: "Then what should we do now?"

Old Master Chu remained silent, his half-disabled eyes swept around, trying to find traces left on the scene.

Zhou Tong saw Mr. Chu's plan, and the yin and yang fish in his eyes were swimming away. His gaze was fixed on a tree by the cold pool, and he walked over. His fingertips touched the old bark. Zhou Tong felt the bark of the bark. The lines on the skin don't seem to grow naturally, but seem to be carved out artificially.

He glanced at the bark again, noted the lines, and then continued to walk along the surrounding trees, starting from when he let his yin and yang eyes work.He saw a wisp of qi remaining in the air, which was too erratic and would use the aura around the cold pool to cover up his movements, so Zhou Tong had to follow carefully and cautiously.

The others didn't dare to disturb Zhou Tong since they discovered Zhou Tong's actions, and quietly waited for the results of Zhou Tong's investigation.

That Qi actually walked around the cold pool.

Half an hour later, Zhou Tong followed Qi Zhe back to the original place.

He asked: "Old Mr. Chu, what happened to these trees around the cold pool? Are they planted by the Chu family?"

"That's not true." Mr. Chu explained, "It's already there..."

Before the words finished, Mr. Chu was stunned, "It seems that the trees around have become much more lush in recent years."

Zhou Tong carried a vermilion pen and talisman paper with him.

The talisman paper was no more than the size of a palm, and Zhou Tong carefully drew something on the talisman paper with a vermilion pen.

Starting from the east side, I drew all the way in circles, and finally wrote on the east side, forming a circle.

What appeared to be folds of bark pieced together a complex pattern.

Although he didn't recognize this pattern, Zhou Tong could tell from its arrangement that it was a formation.

Zhou Tong had never seen this formation before, and he kept searching for the name of this formation in his mind, but even Mr. Chu couldn't recognize it.

Ling Yuan said: "This is the Qingxu Spirit Formation."

"What is it used for?"

"You should have guessed it." Ling Yuan said, "It is this formation that stole the Tongtian Drum."

Seeing that the few of them were still in a daze, Ling Yuan further explained: "The Qingxu Spirit Treasure Formation is a high-level transport formation, which can transport the most aura-filled things in an area to other places. The binding and suppressing spells in the treasure are very difficult for the transported spirits to resist, at least in a short period of time. But..." Ling Yuan looked at Mr. Chu with a cold look, obviously with the intention of asking Mr. Chu to reflect on himself It means, "It will take at least 30 years for this formation to work."

Mr. Chu is ashamed. For 30 years, he really did not recognize this formation. He didn't even recognize a few more trees. Moreover, only Chu was able to quietly arrange the formation in the cold pool of the Chu family. family.

Zhou Tong said: "Then how can we find the trace of the Tongtian Drum?"

"Difficult." Ling Yuan said, "If you can find out that this is the Qingxu Spirit Treasure Formation, even if it's the mistake of the formation builder, I'm afraid he doesn't have the ability to arrange a perfect formation. I want to use this formation to find It is basically impossible to return the lost property."

"..."

Everyone fell silent.

In ten days, it will be the day when the carp leaps over the dragon's gate, and Luo Lianhai's life is coming to an end. At this juncture, the key to all turning points—the Tongtian Drum was stolen, and it was still quietly, in a place arranged Stolen from a large array for more than 30 years.

Old Master Chu suddenly said: "Xiao Tong, you and Master Ling will stay first, and the others will leave first."

"Yes." Chu Zeyun pulled Luo Lianhai out of the cold pool.

After the others left, Mr. Chu seemed to be unable to hold himself back and shook his body, and Zhou Tong helped him back up a bit.

Mr. Chu is old, and it is not easy to live a hundred years. This kind of blow is almost unbearable for him.

Zhou Tong comforted: "Mr. Chu, your body is important, don't worry about it."

Old Master Chu shook his head, pulled Zhou Tong's sleeve, and said with regret on his face, "I may know who stole the Tongtian Drum..."

"Who is it?" Zhou Tong asked, startled.

Mr. Chu said: "I have a cousin who practiced with me when I was young. My cousin is talented, but he just likes to study some strange and crooked ways. It is somewhat similar to Luo Lianhai, but Luo Lianhai lacks his skills. It's just a talent... My cousin likes to study some weird formations, they are all forbidden things, but they are not harmful."

When mentioning the old man, Mr. Chu's face was full of reminiscence: "At that time, my cousin was not liked by the clan, and was often criticized by the elders for being wicked. But I don't think so. Being bullied, I always think that if I smile at others at home, they will also smile at me, but this is not the case. The weaker I am, the easier it is for them to bully me. How can there be so much in this world? How about repaying grievances with virtue? They are also children who study the Chu family's orthodox exercises, but they are not as good-natured as my cousin, who studies the so-called evil ways. Therefore, I always think that my cousin's study of these is not harmful, and there is no power that cannot be taken To use, as long as you use it properly, use it on the right path.”

Zhou Tong listened quietly, waiting for what happened behind Mr. Chu.

Mr. Chu continued: "However, later I found out that a little cousin died in the formation he set up. I knew that he had gone astray. He arranged a soul-sucking formation in the room and said to me, I wanted to use it to capture evil spirits, but unexpectedly, a cousin rushed into the room looking for him, strayed into the formation, and was sucked away alive. I was shocked when I saw the scene, and kept calling him to help send my cousin to the The elders, but found that he has been obsessed with his own formation, turning a blind eye to the life and death of his cousin. Later, he made more and more mistakes, so he was trapped in a cave deep in Qiyun Mountain by his elders, asking him to reflect, But he never thought about it."

Mr. Chu’s eyes were deep, and his spirit, which was always hale and hearty, was a little tired. His lips trembled, and he said: “One day, I went to visit him secretly in the cave, but unexpectedly, he told me that he wanted to study the power of the sky. Fa, attracting the thousands of yin qi hidden deep below, supplying it to oneself for cultivation, and becoming No. 1 ascension in the past and present. His ambition is too great...Ascension? How can it be possible to ascend with our current cultivation environment? It's too ethereal ..."

Old Master Chu looked at Zhou Tong, and said quietly: "Since Lu Zu, I have never heard of a celestial master practicing ascension. Back then, Lord Yuxuan was highly regarded and famous, and everyone thought his ascension was only a matter of time. Things, didn't they die tragically in the end?"

Zhou Tong: "..."

Ling Yuan: "..."

Ling Yuan's face turned dark all of a sudden, he glared at Zhou Tong who was snickering, and then glared at Old Master Chu gloomily.

Zhou Tong coughed and smoothed things over: "Then what then?"

Mr. Chu said: "And then? He died. He made a mistake, set up the wrong formation, and died among the ghosts, without even leaving his body."

"Dead? Why would old Mr. Chu think that he stole the Tongtian Drum?" Zhou Tong asked puzzled.

"He told me at that time that there are countless evil spirits suppressed in the Tongtian Drum, which is beneficial to his cultivation, and he wants to get the Tongtian Drum. And... I also doubted his death at the beginning. The elders didn't know about it, but I did. Be clear, with his ability to control the formation at that time, he would definitely not die in that formation. However, he has been missing since then, and the elders in the family have not found any clues, so I thought he really died Now that I think about it, I’m afraid it’s just a trick to get the golden cicada out of its shell because I feel trapped in the cave, hindering my cultivation?”

Mr. Chu smiled wryly and said: "If he lived to this day, he would be a hundred years old. With his aptitude and obsession with sorcery, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with..." After speaking, Mr. Chu shook his spirits and said, " Regardless of whether it is him or not, Tongtiangu will definitely be found."

Zhou Tong nodded and asked Ling Yuan: "Will the other creatures in this transport formation be affected?"

"Spiritual ones will, others won't." Ling Yuan immediately understood Zhou Tong's meaning. He looked at Zhou Tong and said, "Spiritual ones should be able to find the general direction of the transported destination."

"Yeah." Zhou Tong's eyes fell deep in the cold pool, "I remember, Mr. Chu said that there are many koi in this cold pool, why don't we ask these koi if they know, Tongtiangu Where did it go?"
