Master from the Lunatic Asylum [Transmigration Book]

"okay."

Seeing Fan Hongyin's skeptical face, Yu Zhan stopped teasing him and said with a smile, "What are you thinking?"

While talking, he conveniently put away the chessboard on the table, taking it easy.

"No matter how you say it, Shigu is still a golden core. Even if the strength is not good, he has never used a sword before, and it is not comparable to a monk who has just stepped into the foundation building realm and is not stable. What is so surprising?"

When Fan Hongyin heard it, it was indeed such a reasoning, and at the same time he couldn't help shaking his head, laughing secretly at himself for thinking too much.

"Figured out?"

Seeing that Fan Hongyin was no longer entangled, Yu Zhan raised his eyebrows, and then pointed to the door.

"Why?" Fan Hongyin was at a loss.

"I'm going to rest." Yu Zhan said, looking at Fan Hongyin.

Fan Hongyin: "So?"

"So you can leave my house."

The "my" two are also accented.

Fan Hongyin: "..."

Fan Hongyin's eyes widened in shock.

Successfully driving away the disturbing subordinates, Yu Zhan cleaned the whole room with a cleaning spell in distaste, and at the same time replaced it with a new mattress. Look around.

Overall, quite satisfied.

The house is not too big, but it is simple and elegant, with bright and clean windows. I don’t know if it is because of the bamboo house, but you can still smell the fragrance of bamboo indistinctly.

Of course, these are not the point, the point is that sitting on the edge of the bed, Yu Zhan can just look out the window.

And not far from the window, it is precisely Shigu's room.

……

At the other end, Shi Gu was on the way to the second peak.

Unlike the fourth peak, the second peak is sparsely populated, and along the way, Shigu didn't even see a few people.

Of course, it is much stronger than the old Sixteen Peaks.

When he saw him, he couldn't stop looking at him. The old follower who led the way smiled and explained to him kindly: "The elder Taishang has been in seclusion for a long time for nearly a hundred years, and his energy is low, so he hasn't recruited disciples for a long time."

As he said that, the old attendant also came together at the same time, looking around, with a lot of emotion in his voice: "As time goes by, there are not many people on this mountain."

Shigu suddenly nodded.

He was not talkative at first, and the old entourage seemed more quiet, so he was speechless all the way. Under the leadership of the old entourage, Shi Gu arrived at the top of the mountain, a temple with a peculiar shape.

This hall is very large, but there is no decoration, it is empty, it looks deep and quiet.

Plain white jade bricks make up the high walls, and on the walls, oil lamps are evenly hung, becoming the only light source in the entire hall.

Shi Gu looked inward and saw the end of the hall.

There, there is a door.

It was a pure black door, which formed a stark contrast with the surrounding white jade. All the light seemed to be sucked up there, only the intense darkness, which was endless.

For a moment, Shigu didn't even know whether the door was open or closed at the moment.

"Go."

The old follower who led the way patted Shigu's shoulder lightly, and said in a gentle voice, "The Supreme Elder is waiting for you inside."

"What about you?" Shi Gu asked softly.

"I'm with you," replied the old entourage.

Nodding his head, Shi Gu raised his legs and walked towards the strange door.

The space inside the door was larger than expected, but due to the lack of light, I couldn't see anything clearly, and I could only vaguely feel that this seemed to be a very, very long alleyway, so long that it seemed that there would never be an end in sight.

Shigu walked forward aimlessly.

At the same time, the old attendant beside him also looked at him intentionally or unintentionally.

There are very few people who are qualified to come here, and the old entourage has only met a dozen of them in the hundreds of years.

Among those people, they were either unparalleled gifted disciples in the world, or senior elders with profound cultivation.

Not even Yuan Ce was able to come in here.

And among the people who came in, no matter who they were, when they suddenly faced such darkness, they all had some reactions more or less.

Some of these reactions are nervous, some are alert, no matter how bad they are, they will concentrate and always pay attention to their surroundings.

But sometimes not.

It seemed that what was before him was just an ordinary road, and he walked in such an ordinary way, neither too fast nor too slow.

No wonder everyone was against it at the beginning, so when he was an elder, the Supreme Elder nodded his head, resisted all opinions, and made a final decision.

This person is really good.

Light suddenly appeared.

Not dazzling, even a little dim.

Slowly stepping out of the passage, Shigu looked at everything in front of him curiously.

This place seems to be a cliff, but I don’t know how to do it. It’s daytime, but it’s extremely dark. In the distance, there are densely packed stars hanging on it, shining brightly. I’ve never seen so many stars before. It's as beautiful as if you've come to a fairyland.

Not only these, but another thing also attracted Shi Gu's attention.

——It was an incomparably huge compass, floating slightly in mid-air, surrounded by countless mysterious and complicated restrictions, emitting a pale golden light.

With a glance, a mysterious and distant aura rushed over.

Shi Gu silently compared it in his heart, and found that this compass was as big as his dozen small houses combined.

The compass does not know where the source of energy comes from. It is obviously unmanned, but it can run on its own. On the compass, a pointer slowly rotates, and finally points to the old direction.

Shi Gu was taken aback.

Subconsciously opened his mouth, but before the question was spoken, the needle slowly turned back by itself.

What does it mean?

Puzzled, he turned his head to look at the old attendant beside him.

The old attendant didn't look at him, but looked into the distance, the direction the compass was facing.

Shi Gu blinked and looked together.

That was a very old man.

If the old entourage beside him looked about seventy, then the person in front of him sometimes felt that he had to be a hundred.

This is actually not the first time Shigu saw Gong Xingchao, to be precise, the first time he met this old man was four months ago.

That was Shi Gu's first day in Sixu Continent.

However, at that time, he didn't have close contact with him, but just glanced at him from a distance.

In his memory, Gong Xingchao kept his head down, didn't speak or move, and when the sect leader came to him, he never raised his eyes, only nodded and shook his head occasionally, like an old tree that was dying.

But even so, Gong Xingchao at that time was not as old as he is now.

Sensing the arrival of the two, the old man didn't react at all, his eyes were still closed, he sat cross-legged in front of the compass, a pair of thin and haggard hands trembled slightly, slowly making seals, as if... he was calculating something.

"The elder is doing divination." The old attendant said softly.

"Does he do divination every day?" Shi Gu wondered.

"No." The old attendant shook his head, looking at Shi Gu with gentle eyes and a calm voice, "Because you are here, so you have to do divination."

Sometimes I don't understand.

But he didn't ask again, but quietly waited beside him.

Time passed little by little.

The old man's hexagrams seemed to be endless and continued, and the patience of Shigu and the old entourage also seemed to be endless, always calm.

Finally, the old man opened his eyes.

Those were very cloudy eyes, so cloudy that they couldn't even tell where the black and white of his eyes were.

"We met again." Gong Xingchao spoke slowly, his voice was hoarse and extremely old, but fortunately, he spoke clearly.

The old attendant retreated silently the moment Gong Xingchao opened his eyes, so only Shi Gu and Gong Xingchao were left on the huge cliff.

Shi Gu tilted his head, walked up to the old man, and looked at him seriously.

"You're much older." He wondered, with a little ignorance in his eyes, "Did you have a bad life?"

Shi Gu remembered that back then in Xuanjiang Valley, there was an outer disciple who was very sad because of the death of his brother, so he aged a lot.

Gong Xingchao laughed.

"It's not old, it's dying."

He quietly talked about the ending he was about to face, with calm eyes.

Shigu was silent for a while.

He doesn't like the word death, but he also knows that it's not something he can change.

After thinking for a while, Shi Gu decided to change the topic, so he said softly, "Yu Han said, you were doing divination just now."

Yu Han is the name of the old attendant just now.

"Yes, but it's not over yet."

Shi Gu was taken aback.

Gong Xingchao looked deeply at Shi Gu and said nothing.

Most of the time, this old man is groggy, as if he will never wake up, and he never raises his eyes to look at others. No matter how important the matter is, when he comes to this person, there will be no disturbance.

But when he really looked at you, he found that this terribly old man had eyes so wise that he could see through everyone's heart.

This look is sometimes a little reserved.

"Cangyun Sect is about to end."

After a long time, Gong Xingchao said suddenly.

Shi Gu was stunned for a moment, and wanted to speak, but found that the old man in front of him had closed his eyes.

He seems to be talking to the time, and it seems to be talking to himself: "The cycle of karma, reincarnation, the debt owed, the cause of planting..."

"Sooner or later... Sooner or later..."

From time to time, I can't hear it.

Gong Xingchao said no more, opened his eyes slightly, patted his hand, and said in a kind and gentle voice, "Go back."

After speaking, he closed his eyes again.

Shi Gu: "...?"

Sometimes I am a little puzzled.

Since the purpose of coming is to make him leave, why let him come?

Pursing his lips, Shi Gu felt confused, but he didn't ask any more questions, and obediently said "Oh", got up and left.

But after he left, Gong Xingchao suddenly moved.

The palm that had just been touched turned over slightly, and a seemingly invisible, translucent white gas condensed out, and then the old man tremblingly threw it into the huge compass.

The sound of the "creaking and creaking" compass sounded, and in the sky, the stars all over the sky changed their order at some point, and the stars gathered and reflected on the compass, like a dream, illuminating Gong Xingchao's cloudy eyes.

The old man made mudras with his hands, and his trembling hands just now were dazzled at the moment, and after a stick of incense, he finally stopped moving, and finally, he finished divination.

But at the same time, Gong Xingchao became even more stooped.

At this moment, he looked like he was dying.

"Born... Mahayana..."

Gong Xingchao opened his mouth with difficulty, every word and every meal seemed to exhaust all his strength, and it even made people feel that he would die suddenly in the next moment.

"Elder!" exclaimed, but the old attendant Yu Han hurried over.

Yu Han tightly supported Gong Xingchao's body, but even so, the old man kept sliding down.

"Desperate... Survival...!"

Holding Yu Han's arm tightly, Gong Xingchao's old eyes widened slightly.

Seeing this, Yu Han's expression changed drastically in fright, and he quickly took out the extremely precious life-sustaining pill from his bosom.

Gong Xingchao recovered a little after the pill went down, but he inevitably looked older.

Gong Xing looked towards the direction Shi Gu left just now.

is it you……

That Azure Cloud Sect, the last glimmer of hope.
