The light of the magic circle became brighter and brighter, and finally suddenly disappeared, as if it had merged into the land around the stone village.

Daobazi is also a cultivator, but this is the first time he has seen someone like Gu Sheng who can mobilize such powerful force.

"What kind of spell is this?"

The knife handle asked with eyes wide open.

Gu Sheng smiled slightly, "You'll know after trying it, Daoba, let someone enter the circle and try."

"Here……"

Daobazi was speechless.

"Just give it a try. It doesn't cost money, and it doesn't cost your life."

Gu Sheng said with a faint smile.

"Forehead……"

Daobazi hesitated for a long time and finally nodded.

"come here!"

Daoba Zichao ordered a bandit behind him.

"Brother Dao, I...I..."

The bandit was obviously reluctant.

But when the knife-holder glared, the bandit immediately wilted and had to move forward obediently.

At this moment, the bandit was definitely cursing, but under the order of the knife holder, he still went forward with his head held high.

"Zizzizi!"

However, as soon as he approached the circle, a "sizzling" sound was heard.

The bandit's body was shaking as if he had been electrocuted.

Then, he let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered and flew backwards.

"so smart!"

When Daobazi saw this, his face changed drastically.

He immediately stepped forward to check on his men. Fortunately, the magic circle set up by Gu Sheng did not kill them. The bandit only suffered some minor injuries and was not seriously injured.

Daobazi stood up and looked at Gu Sheng with awe in his eyes.

"God! Your methods are really brilliant. I, Daoba, have finally seen it today. From now on, I, Daoba, swear that I will never invade Shitou Village again."

Daobazi knelt down in front of Gu Sheng again and said.

Seeing Daobazi was so sincere, Gu Sheng nodded, "Okay, get up."

Then, the knife handle stood up.

"Knife handle, let me ask you something. What's the situation with Chen Da Huzi?"

Gu Sheng walked forward and asked.

When Daobazi heard Gu Sheng ask this, he immediately felt that his chance to show off had come.

"God, that big bearded Chen is the most powerful of our gang. He has a subordinate nicknamed Dog-Headed Military Advisor who gives him advice and is very powerful."

The knife handle introduced.

"Dog-headed military advisor?"

When Gu Sheng heard this, he became a little interested.

Since it can be called military, it must have its own methods.

"Where is Bearded Chen now?"

Gu Sheng continued to ask.

"I don't know. His whereabouts are erratic. No one knows where he is. He is the only one looking for us, not us looking for him."

The knife handle shook his head.

Hearing this, Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, I understand."

After saying that, Gu Sheng waved his hand towards the knife handle: "You can go now, remember what you promised me."

"Don't worry, I will never dare to come into this Stone Village again."

After Daobazi finished speaking, he left with all his men.

Looking at the flying dust, Master Zhang Wu and Elder Shi looked worried.

Gu Sheng saw their moods, smiled faintly and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"Ugh……"

Elder Shi sighed slightly, "This knife handle will definitely tell Chen Da Huzi about the situation here. I wonder..."

Elder Shi didn't say the rest, but Gu Sheng already understood his thoughts.

"Elder, I asked Daobazi to deliver this message for me. I want to see how powerful that big bearded Chen is."

Gu Sheng said with a smile.

"Forehead……"

Grandpa Zhang Wu was speechless, but didn't say much.

Then, other people in Shitou Village also returned to the village.

After returning to the village, everyone had a solemn look on their faces.

They knew what the departure of the knife handle meant.

In silence, everyone came to the meeting hall of the village.

This is usually the place where important matters are discussed in the village, and the people who participate are all influential people in the village.

The meeting room was brightly lit, with a huge wooden table occupying the center of the room.

There are wooden chairs carved with various exotic animal patterns placed around, which gives people a shocking feeling.

In addition, Gu Sheng also noticed that on the walls of the conference hall were hung some ancient weapons that he had never seen before, which seemed to be thousands of years old.

After everyone sat down, an old man from the village, with gray hair and a face full of traces of time, came.

He stood up and said in a hoarse voice: "Elder, the situation is critical now. Do you think we should pray to the sacred mountain to bless our Stone Village to overcome this difficulty?"

Elder Shi nodded: "I think so too."

Then, Elder Shi looked at Master Zhang Wu.

Master Zhang Wu is one of the elders in the village.

After hearing this, there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

After a brief silence, he said in a deep voice: "Yes, this is a major event for our village. It is only natural to pray for the blessing of the sacred mountain."

Elder Shi also stood up and said, "I will also participate in this prayer. After all, this is a matter of life and death for our village."

Gu Sheng listened at the side, frowning slightly.

He is a big man who traveled from the 21st century and is not interested in these superstitious things.

But when he saw that everyone was so convinced, he couldn't help but ask, "Master Zhang Wu, where is the sacred mountain you are talking about?"

Master Zhang Wu turned his head and looked at Gu Sheng, then introduced: "The flat mountain thirty miles away from our village is the sacred mountain. It is not only a restricted area for our Shitou Village, but also a sacred place for all the nearby villages."

"Restricted area? Holy land?"

After hearing this, Gu Sheng was speechless.

He knew that this so-called sacred mountain was just an ordinary mountain, but it was given a mysterious color because of some ancient legends.

"That's right! The sacred mountain is full of strange phenomena, and only Master Zhang Wu is qualified to pray."

At this time, a young man standing nearby said.

"Only Master Zhang Wu? What do you mean?"

Gu Sheng turned his head and asked the young man who had just spoken.

"Ergou! Stop talking nonsense."

At this time, Uncle Zhang Wu suddenly spoke, seeming to be a little taboo.

"Ha ha……"

Elder Shi suddenly smiled and explained, "Xiao Sheng doesn't know the customs here. Ignorance is not a crime. It's okay to tell him."

After saying that, Elder Shi winked at Ergou.

Ergou understood and began to introduce himself.

It turns out that Uncle Zhang Wu's ancestors were also a branch of cultivators, but they did not practice various realms, but a technique called seeking for ore.

Since many cultivators need source ore to catalyze their cultivation, the ancestors of Master Zhang Wu are still very popular.

Moreover, in order to allow future generations to learn it, his ancestors specially compiled the "Xunyuan Heavenly Book".

Rumor has it that this book is a rare book from ancient times, and if you learn it, you can control powerful cultivators.

"The Book of Seeking the Origin?"

Hearing this name, Gu Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"There is such a magic? Doesn't that mean Master Zhang Wu has unlimited resources now?"

Gu Sheng asked in surprise.

"No no no!"

Uncle Zhang Wu quickly waved his hands and said, “The ‘Searching for the Origin of the Heavenly Book’ disappeared into the sacred mountain along with my great-grandfather, so only the superficial techniques in the book have been passed down. I’m ashamed... ashamed!” Gu Sheng felt that Uncle Zhang Wu felt very unhappy.

"Old Zhang, it's okay. Everything has its own fate, and the Heavenly Book is no exception. There's no need to blame yourself."

Gu Sheng said with a smile.

"Brother Xiaosheng is right, fate, haha..."

The director next to him started laughing as he spoke and cast an admiring look at Gu Sheng.

And so, the council came to this conclusion.

Uncle Zhang Wu did not refuse. After leaving the meeting room, he turned around and went straight back to his residence.

Out of curiosity, Gu Sheng, Ergou and several young people followed Master Zhang Wu to his home.

When he returned home, Uncle Zhang Wu's face no longer had the seriousness he had in the meeting room.

On the contrary, he was much more solemn and pious at this time.

"Er Gou, you young men, help me carry that table out."

Master Zhang Wu ordered.

"Yes."

Ergou responded and took a few people to carry out an old desk from the house and placed it in the middle of the yard.

The table was filled with several kinds of offerings, including fresh fruits and grains.

In addition, there is a stick of incense made by Uncle Zhang Wu himself.

After the offerings were placed, Uncle Zhang Wu lit the incense.

Wisps of green smoke slowly rose up, carrying a faint scent of sandalwood.

Then, Master Zhang Wu faced the direction of the sacred mountain and began to salute and kneel down.

"Mimi ah ah..."

Uncle Zhang Wu was muttering something, as if he was having a conversation with the sacred mountain.

Gu Sheng and other young people stood aside, watching everything quietly.

Gu Sheng was curious about this ritual.

To be honest, he didn't trust her, but he should still maintain due respect.

After all, this is the tradition of the village and the belief of Zhang Wuye and others in the sacred mountain.

"call……"

Just then, a southeast wind suddenly blew up.

The wind was so strong that it blew the incense and candles on the table all over the place.

When Uncle Zhang Wu saw this, his face changed and he stopped what he was doing.

There was a deflated expression on his face and uneasiness in his eyes.

Gu Sheng noticed the change in Master Zhang Wu, walked up to him and asked, "Master Zhang, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the wind?"

"Ugh……"

Uncle Zhang Wu sighed and slowly stood up.

"The southeast wind is blowing. This is not a good sign. According to the legend of our Stone Village, the southeast wind heralds the coming of disaster."

Uncle Zhang Wu looked worried.

After hearing this, Gu Sheng frowned.

Although what he said sounded a bit weird, seeing how serious Mr. Zhang Wu was, it was difficult to refute it directly.

"Lao Zhang, the change in wind direction is just a natural phenomenon and does not necessarily indicate a disaster."

After listening to Gu Sheng's words, Master Zhang Wu was silent for a while.

But the uneasiness in my heart could never be calmed down.

He looked at Gu Sheng, then at the other young men, and finally said, "Brother Xiao Sheng, you have to worry more about the recent affairs of the village."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Gu Sheng nodded, then looked at the other young people: "What about you?"

"We have no problem either!"

Ergou and the other young men replied at the same time.

Soon, the news of Master Zhang Wu's prayer spread throughout the village.

In the next few days, the atmosphere in Shitouzhai became tense.

Uncle Zhang Wu and Elder Shi perform prayer ceremonies every day, hoping to receive the blessing of the sacred mountain.

Gu Sheng led Ergou and other young people to start practical training.

That evening, just after Gu Sheng finished dinner, he saw Uncle Zhang Wu with a happy face.

"Lao Zhang, why are you so happy today?"

Gu Sheng asked with some curiosity. After all, he had been frowning every day these days, as if he had lost a lot of money.

"Haha...the sacred mountain has finally responded. The disaster may be wiped out, haha..."

Uncle Zhang Wu said with a cheerful look on his face.

"The reaction of the sacred mountain? The disaster is wiped out?"

When Gu Sheng heard this, he immediately became interested, "What's the reaction?"

"It gave northwest wind, and a halo appeared above the sacred mountain."

Uncle Zhang Wu replied.

"Huh? Really?"

Gu Sheng became curious again.

"How could this be false? Go out and take a look. The halo over the sacred mountain has not dissipated yet."

Gu Sheng rushed out of the house and looked up at Pingtou Mountain in the distance.

Under the night sky, the outline of the mountain appears particularly clear under the moonlight.

And just as Uncle Zhang Wu said, there seemed to be a faint halo slowly rotating above the top of the mountain.

The halo emitted a soft light, as if some precious treasure was about to come into the world.

"This……"

Gu Sheng was filled with surprise.

The scene before him was indeed too strange, which made Gu Sheng curious.

He decided that no matter what, he would find out the truth on this special night.

It was late at night and the people in Shitouzhai had all fallen asleep.

Gu Sheng quietly got up and walked out of the room.

He summoned the divine power in his body and flew in the night sky.

Soon, he landed silently on the top of Pingtou Mountain.

There was silence all around the top of the mountain, with only the sound of the wind blowing gently by my ears.

Gu Sheng looked around and saw that the top of the mountain was bare. There was nothing special except some gravel and a few tenaciously growing shrubs.

The only special thing is the halo, which looks more obvious.

The halo was suspended in the center of the top of the mountain, slowly rotating and emitting a faint light.

Gu Sheng approached cautiously.

Out of curiosity, he reached out and wanted to touch the halo to see what it was.

At this moment, the halo suddenly flickered violently.

"Shh!"

A powerful force burst out from the halo, knocking Gu Sheng flying backwards.

Gu Sheng managed to keep his body steady and looked at the halo in surprise.

"What is this, it's so powerful?"

Gu Sheng was a little puzzled.

Then, he gathered his divine power and struck out in the direction of the halo.

"call……"

The divine power emitted by Gu Sheng was like a breeze, passing directly through the halo and disappearing into the vast night sky.

"How could this happen? This shouldn't happen?"

Gu Sheng stood there wondering.

If this halo really exists, then my power should have some feedback.

But now, the force that was exerted was directly taken away, as if it had never happened.

Therefore, the existence of this halo must be related to the mountain.

Moreover, the flatness of this mountain is a little different!
"There must be some treasure hidden in this mountain!"

Gu Sheng was secretly thinking about how to split the mountain. (End of this chapter)
