Dream Maker [Rebirth]

Lu Ci raised his eyes and saw that at the end of the crowd in front of him, several tall horses stepped out from the side of the street, leading a car with a red curtain and a golden roof like a hill into the main street.

The car roof is carved with golden snakes, and the red veils are hazy on all sides. There is a person on the left and right sides of the car shaft, and there are two rows of red-clothed girls with hair and swords behind them.

The car suits illuminate the road, and the stalls are like dancing.

Wherever the front hooves of the horses go, the bustling pedestrians seem to be retreated from both sides by the oared water, accompanied by whispers and the sound of cars and horses, gradually vacating a central avenue more than six feet wide .

Lu Ci, the two accompanying Che Yu, had seen it before, and it was the woman who stood behind Missang Yaoyue at the excommunication ceremony.

The origin of this team of horses and horses is already clear at a glance, they must be the disciples of the Illusory Gu Immortal Palace who passed by here from the East China Sea, and although the figure of the person sitting in the middle is a shadow, there is no need to question his identity.

Senior sister is a big battle.

Lu Ci was speechless secretly, and moved two steps to the side of the street as the crowd dispersed to the side. When people squeezed and touched shoulders, they heard a few people behind them discussing in a low voice: "Have you heard of it? It smells so good."

"Isn't that right? Where does the Illusory Gu Immortal Palace not overflow with fragrance? It's like a flower fairy passing through!"

Hearing what the two said, Lu Ci couldn't help sniffing and sniffing. Sure enough, the chariots and horses were still far away, but there was already a faint fragrance floating around. People unconsciously want to smell more.

Lu Ci looked back and asked in a low voice: "Illusion Gu Tianshi always travels with such a big show?"

The man behind curled his lips: "You can't say that."

Seeing Lu Ci Zuo wishing to hear his details, the man let out a "squeak" and said: "This is not the pomp of the Illusory Gu Heavenly Master, but the pomp of Patriarch Misang!"

There is not much difference between the two at first glance, they are both the identity of Misang Yaoyue, but when you look closely, the meanings are quite different: Misang Yaoyue's pomp and pomp means that even if Misang Yaoyue does not have the title of celestial master, she is still in this world. The mainland is also the same everywhere.

As the chariots and horses approached, Lu Ci couldn't help but fix his gaze on the gauze curtain.

He had only met Misang Yaoyue at the Pardon Ceremony not long ago, and although he could only get a glimpse of the outline at this time, it was not difficult to imagine the majestic appearance of the senior sister.It's just that he doesn't quite understand, since all the other celestial masters except Zhong Li Bu Fu have prayer talismans that can be directly transmitted, why doesn't she directly transmit back to the Illusory Gu Immortal Palace, but instead takes a carriage to return?

Just as he was wondering, the lead horse had already passed in front of him.

At this moment, a gust of slanting wind suddenly blows, and Misang Yaoyue raised her eyes between the slits lifted by the veil, and met Lu Cilai who was standing by the street.

Misang Yaoyue's pupils tightened, she raised her hand and lifted the curtain, and ordered: "Stop!"

The people on the side of the road and the disciples of the Immortal Palace were all startled by the sound, Lu Ci didn't expect such a coincidence, and stared blankly at Misang Yaoyue with slightly parted lips and teeth.

The carriages and horses stopped, Misang Yaoyue looked at Luci and frowned slightly, as if wondering why he would appear here, then looked around Luci, making sure that Ji Wuzhou was not walking with him, and immediately called out :"come here."

Although there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the whole street, Lu Ci did not budge, and walked to the side of the car a few steps and bowed: "I have seen Palace Master Misang."

Missang Yaoyue said: "What are you doing here?"

Lu Ci replied truthfully: "There is a dreamer in this city who came with the celestial master. He went back first when there was something in the palace."

Missang Yaoyue thought for a while, barely paused, and immediately said decisively: "Get in the car."

Lu Ci was taken aback, he still thought that Missang Yaoyue just asked him to come over and ask a few words, never thought he would ask him to get in the car.Then after thinking about it, he could almost guess what Misang Yaoyue really wanted to ask, and this is definitely not a suitable place for detailed discussions in front of everyone.

Without further hesitation, he jumped onto the front panel with one hand, bowed and lifted the curtain and stepped into the car. As soon as he sat firmly, Misang Yaoyue immediately turned to the disciples beside the car and said, "Go."

The chariots and horses continued to move forward, and there were a lot of discussions on both sides of the road, some guessed Lu Ci's identity, or guessed his relationship with the Illusory Gu Immortal Palace, in short, there were different opinions.

Inside the carriage separated by red gauze, both of them turned a blind eye to the noise outside the carriage, Misang Yaoyue looked at Lu Ci silently for a moment, and said, "Do you have anything to say?"

Lu Ci knew that she had already seen the clues during the amnesty ceremony, and the question now was not a test, but to let him tell himself, so he didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "Senior sister, it's me."

This claim is enough to prove her guess, Misang Yaoyue's eyelashes trembled slightly, she grabbed his wrist and said, "What's going on? Why did you become... this person?"

Lu Ci didn't intend to hide it, but he didn't have a clue about the reason for the resurrection, so he had to briefly talk about the process of waking up on the Xuanjingtai, and then said: "Senior brother Luo guessed that this might be related to Fu Ling, but Fu Ling Why it fell into the hands of this person, I have not yet found out."

Misang Yaoyue frowned for a moment to digest, and then said: "Then what happened in the secret realm back then? Did Ji Wuzhou kill you?"

Lu Ci shook his head, and said honestly: "There was a plague in the secret realm back then, and we all died of the plague."

Misang Yaoyue was obviously a little unbelievable: "Plague?"

Lu Ci nodded: "And at least before I died, I never saw Ji Wuzhou appear in the secret realm."

At this point, he simply described in detail how he discovered the wooden basin, how he picked up the baby's corpse and buried it, and how the disciples in the secret realm contracted diseases and died one after another.

However, as he was talking, he suddenly noticed that Misang Yaoyue's expression became a little weird, her brows became more and more tightly frowned, and there was even a sense of surprise and uncertainty in her eyes.

"Senior Sister?" Lu Ci asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Misang Yaoyue's face turned pale, she let her eyes go blank as if she had fallen into some kind of confusion, and murmured: "The seven orifices are bleeding...the skin and flesh are gone...the rest of the clothes are bones?"

Lu Ci couldn't help frowning slightly. In his impression, the senior sister has always been calm, and she shouldn't make a fuss when she hears words like flesh and blood. Now this reaction is really outrageous.

He increased the volume a bit, and called out again: "Senior Sister?"

Missang Yaoyue suddenly looked back at him, but without saying a word, she suddenly turned her head and lifted the curtain to the disciples beside the car, "I'll take a step first, you take them back to the palace the way they came."

The disciple didn't know what happened, but quickly received the order: "Yes."

Missang Yaoyue didn't say any more, put down the curtain of the car and turned around, grabbed Luci's wrist with one hand, and pinched a red prayer talisman from the waistband with the other hand and rubbed it lightly, a dazzling white light flashed instantly.

A series of movements were all in the blink of an eye, and they were so quick and easy that people were stunned. Lu Ci didn't even react, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a sea of ​​fiery red flowers.

In the southwestern hinterland, Red Flame Flower Valley.

The jagged cliffs are surrounded by vines and vines, surrounding a wide valley like a tiankeng.The top of the valley is covered with mist, like clouds and smoke.The bottom of the valley is full of flame-like fiery red flower clusters, the flowers are extremely dazzling, and the clusters bloom at the waist. There are almost no gaps between the flower branches, and they extend tightly to the circular palace group with carved railings and painted buildings flying under the cliffs in the distance. .

Illusory Gu Immortal Palace.

At this time, the two of them were standing at the end of the canyon leading to the sea of ​​red flame flowers in front of them. There was a fairy palace gate attendant on the left and right sides of the canyon entrance. They were startled when they saw Misang Yaoyue suddenly appearing, and hurriedly bowed their hands and said: "Palace Master !"

Missang Yaoyue nodded slightly, and led Lu Ci straight to the sea of ​​flowers without saying a word.

Lu Ci didn't realize it until now, and hurriedly asked, "Why did senior sister bring me back to the palace?"

Misang Yaoyue said as she walked, "I'll show you something."

Lu Ci was still puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions, and followed her forward.

When it was about to step into the flower bushes, the densely packed flower branches suddenly shrank to the sides as if they were afraid of Misang and the demon moon, like a boat breaking through water, like a sword splitting silk, a narrow path was instantly vacated among the flowers.

Lu Ci was surprised and said: "This flower is so strange."

Misang Yaoyue said: "This is the red flame flower, which is used to raise Gu. There are Gu worms in each flower. If outsiders enter without authorization, the Gu worms will immediately get on the body."

After that, she instructed again: "Follow me closely."

Lu Ci nodded and followed closely behind. The flower bushes split in front of the two of them one after another, and then closed again behind him.

There is a faint fragrance among the flowers, the fragrance is exactly the same as the one smelled in the street, only this place is more intense, presumably the fragrance of the disciples of the Immortal Palace is caused by the long-term infecting here.

The road was unimpeded, and in a short time, most of the sea of ​​flowers had been passed, and the fairy palace was not far ahead.

The Illusory Gu Immortal Palace was built under the cliff, with its back against the rocks. It is generally distributed like a sloping fan, with the main hall at the bottom of the fan standing in the middle like a fan nail.

All the temples are mainly made of bamboo, with hanging bead curtains as the doors and gauze curtains as the windows, which is obviously a unique style in the hot and humid Southwest.

In front of the main hall, a wide and long emerald bamboo ladder connects to the sea of ​​flowers. On the steps, two rows of red-clothed disciples stand on the left and right. Seeing Misang Yaoyue approaching, they saluted together and said, "Master!"

Following Misang Yaoyue up the bamboo steps, Lu Ci immediately noticed that the atmosphere of the Illusory Gu Immortal Palace was completely different from that of Dumeng Immortal Palace. All the disciples were respectful and respectful, and they saluted with awe. No one showed any strangeness, and no one asked curiously.

Walking to the top of the steps, the disciples in front of the door opened the bead curtain, and Misang Yaoyue led Luci in big strides, and walked straight back through the main hall.

There are also long steps at the back of the hall, sloping according to the mountain, Misang Yaoyue hurriedly walked up the steps, met countless disciples who stopped to salute, she just nodded sloppyly, as if she was thinking about something important, and said with a deer speech. The majestic palace at the highest point of Benxian Palace.

That is the main hall of the Immortal Palace, which is also the residence of the palace owner.

After entering the hall, Misang Yaoyue continued to walk, passed through several bead curtains, bypassed the screen in the hall, and walked directly to the back of the main hall.

Stepping out of the back door of the main hall, Lu Ci was stunned immediately—he thought that the main hall was built close to the rock wall, but he didn't expect that there was a bottomless long and narrow ravine between the back door and the mountain wall.

A covered bridge spans a gully several feet wide, one end is connected to the back door of the main hall, and the other end leads to the opposite mountain wall, and there is a cave on the mountain wall, with a limestone door embedded, with double snakes carved on the lintel, and a snake head relief protruding from the front. Ang, with red flame flower vines as jacarandas on both sides, the red flowers are in full bloom, encircling the steep mountain wall with a beautiful fragrance and color.

For some reason, this covered bridge reminded Lu Ci of the ice bridge on the Jingyue River in Dumeng Fairy Palace, while the unguarded Qingshi Gate on the opposite side looked like a half-moon castle, exuding a "forbidden place" atmosphere.

Walking across the covered bridge to the platform in front of the stone gate, Misang Yaoyue raised her hand and reached under the red flame flower vine on the side to fumble, and the stone gate suddenly opened with a rumble.

The cave was a little dark, Luci stepped in and got used to it for a while, until the stone door closed behind him, he gradually saw the scene in front of him clearly.

——The three glazed pillars are exactly the same as those in the Banyue Fort, the red light spots all over the sky flickering and flickering like candle flames, it should be the gathering of countless Gu charms.

The rocks on the top of the head are hollowed out into a tube, which goes straight up like a chimney, and the prayer talisman is poured down from the top, and scattered into red light spots.

Seeing Lu Ci stop and watch, Misang Yaoyue thought it was because he didn't know what these things were, and just about to introduce them, she heard Lu Ci ask: "Senior Sister, why are all the life yuan stored in you black and red?"

Here, the Shouyuan in the glazed pillar is the same as the Banyue Fort, showing a strange black and red color, which is completely different from the bright red Shouyuan he saw in Master Tong's Spirit Gate.

Misang Yaoyue was a little surprised: "How do you know this is Shouyuan? Ji Wuzhou told you?"

Lu Ci nodded: "I have seen such glazed pillars in his palace, and he told me that these are spiritual qi, namely longevity, luck, and memory."

"Have you seen it?" Misang Yaoyue was even more surprised when she heard the words, "Can he come in and out of the place where the spiritual energy is stored in his palace?"

Lu Ci was startled, and said embarrassingly: "That's not true, I heard that it is a forbidden area, but...he said that I can go anywhere in the palace."

Missang Yaoyue was silent for a moment, then commented calmly: "Then he is generous."

After the evaluation, she remembered to answer Lu Ci's question, turned to the red pillar and said: "When he handed over the spiritual weapon to us, he had agreed in advance that when he used the spiritual weapon to cast spells in exchange for rewards, Shouyuan only You can choose black and red."

Luci said, "Why?"

Misang Yaoyue showed a hint of mockery: "He didn't give any reason, he only said that this is a condition for taking away the spirit weapon, and also said that if we violate it someday, he will have his own way to take back the spirit weapon."

After finishing speaking, she seemed not to want to talk about this topic anymore, and walked straight to the center of the cave.

Lu Ci stepped up to follow, only to notice that there was a long case in the middle of the three pillars in the cave, and there was nothing else on the long case, except for a palm-sized snake-top carved gold furnace.

Misang Yaoyue held up the golden stove, Lu Ci only thought that this was what she wanted to show him, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Unexpectedly, Missang Yaoyue glanced at him, but did not answer, but turned around and walked out of the cave: "Follow me."

Still want to go?

Lu Ci was perplexed, but Misang Yaoyue had already walked a few steps, he had no choice but to follow quickly.

After leaving the cave, Misang Yaoyue led him through the covered bridge and the main hall again, returned to the front of the hall, walked westward around several temples, and arrived at another ravine next to the rock wall.

This ravine should be connected to the one behind the main hall, but the ravine is not a corridor bridge, but a cable suspension bridge, and there is still a stone gate on the opposite side, but the platform in front of the stone gate is no longer empty, but Guarded by two saber disciples.

Passing the Zhiya Suspension Bridge, the gatekeeper saluted and opened the stone gate. As soon as he stepped into the cave, Lu Ci felt that the place was inexplicably cold, as if filled with a deep and dead air.

In the cave, the brazier was crackling, and there were many small rooms dug on both sides of the wide corridor, which looked quite similar to the prison cell on the hanging mirror platform, but there was no cell door blocking the front of the small room, only a layer of thin, almost transparent veil .

Luci followed Misang Yaoyue step by step forward, observing through the light veil while walking, and saw that there was a stone bed in every small room, and there were people lying on the stone bed without exception, and those people were all He didn't move, he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

"Who are these people?" Lu Ci asked curiously.

Missang Yaoyue didn't stop walking: "Gu slave."
