What kind of bad thoughts can Tianlei have?

Du Shenglan swears that he has never heard such reasonable nonsense in his life. If he stays in his own territory and does not go out, the probability of encountering three disasters and nine disasters is of course low.

All the people present were contemplative, as if they were seriously considering Taoist Tianji's nonsense.

"Is there a way to crack it?" Mo Cang asked.

Taoist Tianji: "Things in the world are always changing, that's what the hexagrams say, how to choose or not depends on the individual."

Because of the method of restraining breath, Du Shenglan, who stood inconspicuously among the crowd, nodded upon hearing this: Another very reasonable nonsense.

I don't know if Taoist Tianji's divination wasn't to his liking, but the heads of these big families didn't pay much attention to the next younger generation discussing martial arts.They pondered on their own, the younger generation did not dare to slack off, the loss was too ugly and the family would not be able to face it.

Du Shenglan was the one who watched it most with gusto. Du Beiwang singled out two people at once with a spear in his hand.

Coincidentally, there was heavy snow falling in the sky, and the silver gun and snow were pleasing to the eye. In the end, Du Beiwang won the first place without any suspense. None of the younger generations of the Pei family broke into the top four.

Gu Yamu touched the wrench in his hand, sat slightly obliquely, his expression was indifferent, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

The juniors who lost in the martial arts were all afraid to speak, and when they returned to the family team, they didn't dare to look up at Gu Yamu's face.

Taoist Tianji left Qingtai Mountain as early as halfway through the fight, and now that the martial arts discussion is over, everyone should have led their teams to leave.But the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, and no one wants to walk in the sky and experience the white hair of snow for themselves.What's more, it wasn't the first time they held a martial arts discussion on Qingtai Mountain. There were all kinds of bad weather suddenly, and there was a special villa built on the mountainside.

Halfway through, Du Shenglan noticed that except for Qinzong, the other teams were all brought back by the clan elders, and the patriarch was nowhere to be seen.

He purposely coughed lowly, Gu Yamu took a few steps forward, and said to the second elder who came with him, "Take them to the villa first, I still have something to do."

Lun Wu was so embarrassing, the second elder didn't ask any more questions, pointed at the noses of a few juniors and scolded them, and led the team to move on.

……

Qingtai Mountain, the peak.

The heads of the three major families tacitly stayed at the same time.

Pei Jiuxing was still alive, and it was unknown whether the new head of the Pei family would be able to secure his position. When they discussed some important matters, they naturally would not consider bringing each other along for the time being.

Mo Cang: "What do you think of the hexagrams of Taoist Tianji?"

Du Shenglan had previously been surprised that these people thought deeply about the divination results, but in fact, there are countless causal intersections between Taoist Tianji and the big family, and they have taken a lot of protection from them.Calculators are most taboo to use hexagrams to harm others, especially those who have formed good causes.

Therefore, they will not easily doubt the authenticity of the hexagrams.

Du Qingguang said lightly: "Treasure hunting itself has risks, and we can discuss this matter later."

He put one hand on the armrest of the seat, "The chips can't all be placed on a steelyard. As early as decades ago, I was wondering if there was another way to ascend."

The other two breathed heavily.

"Right now, there are rumors that the golden age is approaching, maybe..."

"Who?" Before the words fell, Du Qingguang patted the table, and the water droplets in the cup condensed into ice arrows and shot forward.

The air trembled, Pan Tianhe and Mo Cang looked over and saw Gu Yamu holding the Frost Arrow, and the next moment the Frost Arrow evaporated in his palm.Seeing that he was discovered, he hugged his fists generously.

Du Qingguang's face changed, and the faces of the other two were also ugly.

They just set up barriers casually, and there were three Transcending Tribulation Periods present, so naturally no one would dare to offend, but someone came to eavesdrop, and the other party was pretending to be the patriarch of a family.

"Brother Pei?" Pan Tianhe was still a little uncomfortable when the name 'Brother Pei' blurted out. They used to call Pei Jiuxing like that.

"I dropped something." Gu Yamu twitched the corner of his mouth, walked straight to the seat where he was sitting just now, and picked up the jade wrench that was left alone on the chair.He didn't leave in time, instead he sat down and said, "It's okay, you guys continue. I was in a hurry just now, maybe you didn't hear me when you called..."

"By the way, where are we talking now?"

"..."

Everyone's understanding of Pei Muhan was really limited, except for those with high status in the family, they seldom even took a look at him, just like today, no one paid attention to Du Shenglan who was wearing a cloak in the crowd.

In the past, Pei Muhan occasionally showed up a few times, and the state he revealed was very ordinary, and only a junior like Du Shenglan would pay attention to it, relying on the ability of photographic memory to recognize at a glance when killing the Hall Master.

Du Qingguang answered irrelevantly: "The last time we spoke was more than 100 years ago. Brother Pei's temperament is a little different from the past."

Gu Yamu smiled: "It's only 98 years."

Afterwards, no one spoke easily, and Pan Tianhe suddenly chuckled, bypassing the previous topic of discussion: "Such a beautiful snow scene, why don't you come with me to cook wine and talk about Taoism?"

·

After Lun Wu lost, the second elders were scolding others angrily along the way, and Du Shenglan imitated the others, showing shame.

The villa is very large, there are thousands of houses alone, and six or seven different small gardens are meticulously divided.Not many people came to the Pei family, they only occupied half of the small garden. The children of the Pei family felt ashamed, and they basically didn't show up again after entering the house.

Du Shenglan didn't have this kind of awareness, and sat in the pavilion near the door to practice normally.Originally thought that Gu Yamu would arrive at the villa at least half an hour later, but he had just entered the state when the sound of boots trampling on the snow came clearly.

He opened his eyes, and Gu Yamu had already sat down opposite him.

"Du Qingguang is cautious, but he didn't forget to test my identity."

Du Shenglan thought it was normal, but Du Qingguang was suspicious by nature, so it would be strange if he didn't try.

"What did you overhear?"

Gu Yamu frowned: "Du Qingguang saved a hand, it seems that he still has a plan for ascension." Looking at each other, he shook his head slightly: "I only heard a golden age."

Based on these four words alone, nothing can be deduced.Some time ago, because of Du Shenglan's frequent vest activities, there was talk of a golden age, but the opening of the Forbidden Land of Youlan and the birth of Hongmeng Yuanbao were beyond his control. Even Gu Yamu suspected that the golden age was coming.

Du Shenglan frowned: "The golden age has always been accompanied by a catastrophe, with countless casualties."

How can we talk about ascension when it is difficult to survive?

Gu Yamu snorted: "No matter what it is, it must be risky."

Otherwise, Du Qingguang wouldn't have mentioned it now. Judging from what he said, it was just a ponder over the past few decades, and it didn't start deployment as early as the plan to mend the sky.

The two of them stopped discussing in tacit agreement. There is no information to look up here, and Gu Yamu's position as the patriarch is unstable, and he has not yet successfully penetrated into the enemy's interior, so it is useless to speculate.

There was a snowstorm in the mountains, and the night kicked off early.

It was very quiet tonight, there were quite a few big names here, it was not good for the juniors to practice kung fu directly with knives and guns, for fear that the noise would be too loud and disturbing.Just after a while, Du Shenglan was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly his eyes moved, he got up and opened the window.The sky and the earth were vast, and the cold wind was blowing on his face. Du Shenglan was silent for a while, and walked out the door.

Gu Yamu was also practicing in the room. He was not afraid of the cold, and could even practice with the help of the cold air from the icy and snowy sky. The window was half open, and suddenly a head came in, and whispered softly, "It's me."

Worried that the opening of the door would be too loud and attract the attention of the second elder in the nearby room, Du Shenglan huddled into a ball and climbed in through the window.

Looking at the small arms and short legs, Gu Yamu thought of teasing him, blew lightly, and blew him out like a snowflake.But after a while, Du Shenglan reappeared, looking at him coldly with faint eyes.

Gu Yamu coughed lightly, walked to the table and poured him a cup of hot tea, as an apology.

While Du Shenglan was drinking tea, Gu Yamu stretched out his hand to arrange the barrier, waiting for him to speak.

"Did you hear anything just now?" Du Shenglan asked.

Gu Yamu shook his head.

Du Shenglan began to wonder if he had heard it wrong, the realm of the two of them was very different, there was no reason why he heard Gu Yamu and knew nothing about it.

Gu Yamu thought for a while: "It may not be the sound, but the change of the breath of nature."

Just like a volcanic eruption in the endless sea, except for Hongmeng Yuanbao, Du Shenglan was the first to feel it.

natural variation?

Du Shenglan first thought: "Avalanche?"

Gu Yamu asked him to stay in the house, went around the other courtyard, and said after returning: "Nothing was found in the villa."

To be on the safe side, Du Shenglan stayed in the same room with him to practice this night, and returned to his room at dawn.Nothing happened overnight, the next day when the snow stopped, the second elder found Gu Yamu: "Do you want to continue discussing martial arts today?"

Gu Yamu glanced at him: "Isn't that embarrassing enough?"

Thinking of the disappointing junior, the second elder's face was not very good, so he told them to gather in the front yard and prepare to leave.

All the families seemed to have no intention of staying any longer, and the people from Qinzong even set off first.It's a pity that He Changke's fleeting time is unlucky, and not long after Yukong left, the upside-down ice cones on the mountain were shot from all directions, and those who hadn't set off outside the villa were not so lucky. The snowflakes are even denser.

Du Shenglan dodged the stones, but his eyes were watching some trees that rolled down.The trees were uprooted, and some rocks were forcibly condensed by some kind of force from the soil, and the fracture surface was also very strange.

"The mountain is cracked!" I don't know who shouted.

The majestic mountain seemed to be split directly from the middle by an axe, and several Pei family disciples fell into the abyss, falling straight down.Gu Yamu flew back to scoop up the man, and cursed 'trash'.

"...This gap is weird, it can't fly..."

Gu Yamu interrupted him with a wave of his hand, expressing that he understood, and looked up into the distance.

He Changke was returning home, muttering, "Tianji, bastard..."

No wonder it snowed so much yesterday, the other party didn't even intend to stay behind, braved the wind and snow and rushed on the road, maybe even if it was today, the road would not go smoothly.

Du Qingguang volleyed above the abyss: "It's not an ordinary disaster."

When Gu Yamu rescued people before, he noticed that the mountain crack was caused by the interference of external force. This force has not been completely dissipated, so that a few juniors with average cultivation level fell into the abyss and were unable to defend against the sky.

After a long time, the ground returned to calm, He Changke frowned, unexpectedly there was no second round of surprise attack.Previously, the Frostbolt in the valley was nothing to be afraid of. He was worried that there would be an attack, so he chose to turn back and join the large army.

After confirming that there were no more accidents, each family assigned some people to search the mountain, but no suspicious person was found.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time." Mo Cang: "Let's go down the mountain first."

Just in case everyone walks a section of the mountain road together, make sure there is no abnormality.

The mountain road is narrow, Pei's family is at the end, and Du Shenglan is even walking behind the team. It is cold and covered with a cloak, and others can hardly see his face clearly.The lot that Gu Yamu bought is very practical, the upper back does not show the mountains and the dew, and it is indistinguishable from ordinary clothes.

Relying on hanging at the end of the line, Du Shenglan approached the crack.Some stones seemed to be messy, but they were piled up regularly, as if he had found something, his pupils narrowed, and he flew over quietly.

"The bone of the sea monster..." Du Shenglan dug a hole and measured it: "The depth is three feet three."

I had some calculations in my heart, but unfortunately I never found a chance to speak alone.

When they arrived at the safe place and everyone went their separate ways, the Second Elder suddenly said, "Everyone stay here."

The eyes of several powerful people fell on him, and the second elder resisted the pressure and said: "If you are all right, you can go back with us and witness the succession ceremony of the Patriarch."

The implication is to admit the identity of Gu Yamu's Patriarch.

Gu Yamu squinted his eyes, always feeling something strange in his heart, and said lightly: "Taoist Tianji said that everyone will go back to their own homes, and it's better to keep everything simple."

The second elder was particularly persistent: "The succession of the Patriarch is not a trivial matter."

He Changke waved his hand disinterestedly. The landslide was too sudden, so he still preferred to return, using the excuse that he was busy.

Du Qingguang: "I have an appointment with fellow Taoist Zhumo in the future, and I want to go back as soon as possible."

After returning from the Endless Sea, Zhumo began to retreat, and Zhanyue Mountain did not participate in the party this time.Pan Tianhe was curious: "Is he out of customs?"

How long has it been closed?

The relationship between the Du family and Zhanyue Mountain is not that good, what can these two people have to talk about?

Just when he was guessing whether it was related to the golden age mentioned earlier, Du Qingguang had already led the Du family's children away.Pan Tianhe and Mo Cang were teased by Pei Jiuxing before, thinking that it was just a chance to see each other's jokes, and it was a sigh of relief, so they didn't refuse.

After returning to Pei's house with the team, Du Shenglan finally found a chance to talk to Gu Yamu alone.

"It's the formation." He has a lot of attainments in the formation, and he has roughly deduced the structure and core. He sincerely praised: "The people who set up the formation have reached the state of perfection."

The admiration is real, and so is the coldness in the eyebrows.Sea monsters, such magical creatures, can only be found in the Endless Sea.

Gu Yamu recalled the bone spurs that rose from the ground in the endless sea, and said: "The previous formation that imitated the breath of companion creatures was also based on sharpened siren bones."

A name appeared in their minds at the same time: Xuzhou.

Gatherings like this happen every few years among big powers, and it's not a top secret. Du Shenglan was rejected by her family before and painstakingly cultivated, so she didn't know it was normal.But if you are interested, it is not difficult to find out the time of the party, especially this year when Du Beiwang rushed back from Tiansheng Academy.

This sneak attack seems meaningless at the moment, and the people who set up the formation must know it better than anyone else, and it will not cause real harm.

"The old man's attitude is also very strange." Du Shenglan recalled the second elder's behavior, which was very abnormal.

Before he could catch his breath, a young servant came to report in a hurry: "Elder, please prepare, the hour of the unitary hour is an auspicious time, and the succession ceremony will be held."

Now it is almost the time of You, and it is time not to prepare for a moment.

As soon as the boy left, Gu Yamu said in a deep voice: "You will change into your original form later, and come with me."

Even if something happened, he could take Du Shenglan away in time.

……

As the sun was setting, the Patriarch's Succession Ceremony was a major event, but at this moment, the Pei family was in a hurry, as if everything was a temporary idea, and there was no sense of grandeur.

Pan Tianhe and Mo Cang who were invited here keenly sensed something was wrong, and secretly paid attention to the movements around them.

The ceremony is scheduled to be held at the altar of the Pei family, where all the successive patriarchs will succeed.

There are thousands of steps under the altar, and each step exudes a majestic atmosphere. Now only Gu Yamu and a group of elders are standing on the top, and the rest are all below.

Almost all the people from the main house came, and they stood in an orderly order with their heads bowed, with solemn faces.Pei Jiuxing, who was not yet in good health, also came. Unexpectedly, Pei Jiuxing didn't seem angry, and there was a strange expectation in his eyes.

The Great Elder looked solemn, and his voice was old and deep: "I bow to the will of the world—"

Everyone raised their palms above their heads, and then bowed deeply.

"Goodbye Heaven and Earth Avenue——"

Pan Tianhe and Mo Cang were guests, so naturally they didn't have to worship, and even had a special place to sit.

The Great Elder took a deep breath: "Please ancestor consciousness—"

Everyone was startled, isn't the normal process worshiping ancestors?The children of the Pei family looked at each other, and the elders still maintained serious expressions, so it can be seen that the sentence just now was not a slip of the tongue.

The matter dates back to before the companion creature was born, when Pei Jiuxing was still the head of the Pei family, one day the steward suddenly brought a letter, which stated 'Pei Jiuxing personally. '

Because the letter appeared outside the gate out of thin air, and there were layers of formations on the surface, the steward found the formation master to check, and after confirming that there was no formation of additional damage, he reported it to Pei Jiuxing after approval.

After Pei Jiuxing disassembled it, there was only one sentence in it: The Lord of the Lore Hall may not be himself, and you need to make sufficient preparations to kill him.

At that time, Pei Jiuxing only thought it was absurd and ignored it. There were so many nonsense in the cultivation world, and no one knew better than him whether the master of the Hall of Absolute Killing was alive. After all, Pei Muhan's soul lamp was still burning.

Until a few days ago, he received the same letter again, and there was still only one sentence: See you at Qingtai Mountain.

Pei Jiuxing's position as Patriarch was brutally deprived. At this time, all thoughts were lost, but he suddenly remembered that when the news of the killing of the Hall Master and Hunting Dragon came out a few months ago, Du Qingguang had personally come to the door to confirm the situation of Pei Muhan's soul lamp.

After thinking about it again and again, he informed the Great Elder about it.

The Great Elder scolded 'ridiculous'.

The breath of blood, the soul lamp, etc. cannot be faked, and the lore palace is indeed selling dragon corpses, so there is nothing doubtful about the certainty.What's more, unless the sender is a god, how could he know such details?

Pei Jiuxing bowed deeply: "I also came to see you because the other party said that the Qingtai Mountain will be resolved."

You can never go wrong by staying alert.

Even with this sentence, the Great Elder remained indifferent, only thinking that his mentality was out of balance, and he directed and acted on his own.

What Qingtai Mountain sees the outcome, the premise of saying this is knowing that the Lord of the Lore Palace will appear in Qingtai Mountain, and the sender is likely to know the relationship between the Lore Palace and the Pei family.

The first elder told the matter to the second elder who was going to accompany him, and the latter laughed and shook his head: "The child Jiuxing is also considered to be the one we watched growing up, this time he really lost his head."

The Great Elder thought so deeply.

Until Qingtai Mountain and his party, at the moment of the landslide, Gu Yamu was the only leader among all the forces who did not act immediately.People have an instinctive reaction, similar to Du Qingguang's reflexive and powerful sword move at that time, splitting all the rolling boulders nearby with one sword, and He Changke, who turned back, urged the rhythm to change the direction of the boulder rolling...

Only Gu Yamu chose to dodge and did not use the snake bone hook technique he is good at.Because of this, a few juniors of the Pei family almost fell into the abyss.

The Second Elder was extremely astonished at the time. The seed of doubt, which was not originally a seed, grew into a towering tree in an instant. He thought about inviting people from other forces to come over. If there was a problem, at least there would be external support.

It's just that before the matter is finalized, one must be cautious, otherwise it will prove to be an oolong in the end, and the reputation of the Pei family will not be able to withstand the second round of toss.It is most appropriate to use the Patriarch Succession Ceremony to conduct a test.

At this moment, the Great Elder's hands were trembling slightly, and he took out a three-linked jade ring, which was not surprising, and smashed it into pieces on the altar.

The moment the jade ring shattered, there was smoke in midair, and a phantom slowly condensed in the process of curling up into the air. The man who appeared was dressed in a robe woven with gold threads on a black background, and also had a thin gold belt around his waist.

This is a touch of spiritual consciousness left by the ancestors of the Pei family, which can help the Pei family survive a crisis at a critical moment.

Of course, this is all based on the strength of a long time ago. The four major families, including some small forces, all have spiritual knowledge left by the ancestors.With the passage of time, the power inside will gradually weaken. The four major families have been established for a long time, and now, this wisp of spiritual knowledge basically cannot play a big role.

"This person is the new head of my Pei family, who will be responsible for the rise and fall of the family in the future." The great elder bowed and said solemnly: "Please activate the bloodline altar to see if his bloodline is strong and pure."

Below, the Patriarch of the Pan family looked puzzled, and said to Mo Cang in a low voice, "The Pei family is the most able to get married, where does the blood come from pure?"

Mo Cang also frowned.

Every family has a bloodline spiritual platform, and even the children of other families will check the strength of their bloodlines since childhood, except for the Pei family.As a result of the crazy marriage, the blood of the ancestors in their bodies has long been diluted and unsightly. The blood spirit platform has not felt the pure blood for a long time, and the spirit of the weapon has fallen asleep and went on strike.

The ancestor of the Pei family didn't say a word, his gaze was always illusory.

At the same time, Little Lightning sneaked from his sleeves all the way to his chest, maintaining a posture close to Gu Yamu.

He is not afraid of any tests. The Bloodline Spirit Platform was not used to check the bloodline strength, but the soul. In the era when demons were rampant, in order to prevent the family's descendants from being taken away, screening was carried out almost every year.

His body with half of Pei's blood is gone long ago, but his soul is immortal. His soul is so powerful, Du Shenglan is very confident that he can attract the legendary "Feng Lai Yi" bloodline wonder.It's just that it's a little strange that the phoenix is ​​twirling around Gu Yamu's sleeves, he's hiding in his chest, and it's quite normal for the phoenix to be in his arms.

"Ancestor, please activate the bloodline altar." In the silence, the Great Elder repeated.

...Test it, test it.

Through a layer of fabric, the corner of Little Lightning's mouth is slightly raised proudly, to let you see what is called soul invincibility.

At this moment, the emptiness of the patriarch of the Pei family's eyes finally became focused, skipping over the elder, he seemed to look at Gu Yamu with deep meaning.

Everyone held their breaths, only to see the ancestor of the Pei family slowly raising his hand, and the great elder also took a deep breath, waiting for the appearance of the blood altar.

Snapped!

The slap without warning took ten percent of his strength, and the reverence for his ancestors in his bones made the elder even forget to resist, and rolled down the stairs on the spot.

The Pei family was dumbfounded.

The Patriarch of the Pan family, who had seen many turbulent waves, opened his mouth directly.

The most indifferent one is the ancestor of the Pei family. He looked down at the person who rolled down, and said in a cold tone, "Grandson Gui, what did we rely on to get started, you don't know what?"
