Gu Zhinan transmigrated into a soul-based romance game, "The Trial of the Immortals," becoming an unremarkable passerby scholar.
On the way to the capital to take the imperial examina...
Chapter 104 The Three Beauties of Miaoyin are here! Pavilion Master Liu is willing to devote himself to her
Tianfeng Island, Nanyu Wharf.
Under the erosion of the river waves, the blood on the beach was dried by the wind, forming dark red patches.
On a reef, a young man wearing a blue royal brocade robe and with a feminine temperament stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the tragic scene in front of him with deep eyes.
"Second Young Master, it looks like Saint Lady has failed. The guests that Gu Si brought with him are really not easy to deal with!"
A middle-aged man who looked like a guard and was dressed in armor came forward and said.
"I can see it without you telling me."
The second son of the king, Ji Wenjun, said coldly, closing his eyes: "After all, we have known each other. Your Excellency and my father do not treat her as a human being. I cannot be so heartless and ungrateful."
"General Niu, please help me collect the body of Saint Lady."
"No need, Second Master."
General Niu sighed: "Most of the Saint Lady's body was destroyed along with the disappearance of the demon core. We only found this at the scene."
As he said this, he waved his hand.
"Bring it up and show it to the Second Young Master!"
Several soldiers came up carrying a burlap sack.
After untying the rope, the cloth bag contained a huge demon head with a huge mouthpart and protruding fangs!
"You stubborn, stupid woman"
The moment he saw the head, Second Master Ji's eyes turned red.
Then, without paying any attention to the looks of the followers around him, he knelt on the ground and gently stroked the dark red fur on the Blood Demon Queen's head.
"Sir, don't be sad." General Niu at the side advised: "Now that the Saint Lady is dead, it is reported that Gu Si has entered the inner city of the capital. This means..."
Ji Wenxun shook his head and said, "This means that the mission that our father gave us to kill Gu Si before the birthday banquet at all costs has completely failed."
"General Niu, you guys go back first. Next, I will go to the palace in person to plead guilty to my father. Before that, I want to be alone."
"yes!"
After the followers dispersed.
The Second Young Master Ji could no longer suppress his emotions, and cried loudly while holding the bloody demon head that was already showing signs of corruption:
"Saint Aunt! Saint Aunt!"
"I told you to follow me and run away! Why don't you believe me?"
"In the eyes of that damned venerable, everything can be sacrificed. Even my father is his pawn. What do you, a saint girl, count for?"
"Alas, the death of the rabbit makes the fox mourn. Now that you are dead, if I return to the palace, my father will sentence me to death."
“So, I can only…”
"Saint Aunt, do you know? I just received news that the three southwestern states that you have worked so hard for more than ten years to conquer for the Venerable have been taken over by the second master of the Gu family in just a few days! Now, all major cities, and even the lintels of ordinary people, have planted the Gu family's Beihai Xuanshui flag!"
"What is this? This is what the people want! Who in the world wouldn't vote for it? I voted for it too!"
"It would be great if you were with me right now."
"A day of marriage brings a hundred days of grace, Saint Auntie, do you know that you are the only woman I have in this life."
"Next, I will avenge the deaths of my brothers, and then I will hold your head and take you back to your hometown outside the Great Wall."
"But before that..."
"Comfort me one more time, okay?"
The second young master Ji said this with a tender look on his face.
He took the Banshee King's fangs and the extremely ferocious huge head into his stomach.
"Hiss~"
“This graininess.”
"It still has to be you, Saint Aunt."
"I think I will never fall in love with another woman in my life."
Tianfeng Island, the capital, and the outer city.
Based on the memory of the running map of Tianfeng Island in the previous life.
Gu Zhinan brought Pei Jianxian and Young Master Ji to an affiliated island called "Xiji Island" located to the west of the main island with ease.
What comes into view is an extremely dilapidated fishing village.
At the entrance of the village, low thatched houses are scattered around. The thatch on the roofs is sparse and messy, and the pickled fish hanging on them are covered with green mold.
At this moment, in the middle of the road, a group of poorly dressed, skinny children were scraping salt from the cracks in the rocks with clam shells.
Looking closely, they had thin limbs but their abdomens were severely swollen due to years of hunger, making them look like big-bellied hungry ghosts.
"This place is terrible. Worse than my home when I was a kid."
Fairy Pei pursed her rosy lips and couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, her tall, voluptuous, perfect body, dressed in luxurious and elegant white cheongsam, looked very noble, and stood out in this dirty and simple fishing village.
It instantly attracted the attention of countless fishermen and farmers around.
However, after only one look at this foreign noble lady, they lowered their heads in awe.
“Gudong——”
Young Master Ji accidentally kicked over a bamboo basket, and more than twenty copper coins rolled into the cracks between the rocks.
Several old fishermen who were squatting in the corner of the house mending their nets suddenly looked up, staring at the coins with their cloudy eyes, and then focused on Young Master Ji.
Ji Yun's scalp tingled when he was stared at by these fishermen. He quickly took out a bag of gold leaves from his pocket and threw them over: "Here are my rewards for you."
In an instant, like vicious dogs pouncing on their prey, the surrounding fishermen rushed forward and snatched the gold on the ground.
Ji Yun frowned and said, "Brother Gu, I really admire you. Where did you find this remote place where no birds lay eggs? I have lived in the capital for thirty years and I didn't even know there was such a place."
"They are even poorer than those Samos on Genshin Island!"
"Brother Ji, you are in a high position and live a life of luxury. The world outside the capital is filled with tragic things that you don't know about."
Gu Zhinan pointed to the tattered plaque on the archway and said, "Take a look at the name of this village."
Ji Yun looked carefully and saw the three words "Jijia Village" written on it.
"This, this is." Young Master Ji was shocked.
"good."
Gu Zhinan said: "This is the root of your Ji family. Your father came from this village. He is a real 'native islander'."
"Look again, whose portraits are hung on the doors of these villagers."
As he spoke, he pointed to the thatched houses on both sides.
Young Master Ji and Pei Jianxian looked at the same time, and saw the same portrait posted on the door of every household! The characters in the painting were a man and a woman.
The man was wearing armor, tall and handsome, and was obviously a young general with extraordinary appearance.
The other woman was wearing a plain Taoist robe. She had a graceful figure, beautiful face, and an immortal look.
"Brother Gu, is this general from our Tianfeng Kingdom?"
Ji Yun asked.
"It's your father, Ji Shixun." Gu Zhinan said with emotion: "The period of the portrait should be when he was the commander of the infantry under the command of King Bai. At that time, your father was truly the hope of the whole village."
"My my father?"
Ji Yun was even more shocked. He could not imagine that his father, who had been fat and thick-waisted since he could remember, could have been so handsome at one time.
"Who is the other woman?" Ji Yun asked again.
"Your aunt, the leader of the Hehuan Sect, a first-class demon sect in the Northern Kingdom, Ji Yue."
Gu Zhinan asked: "Didn't you see her?"
"No. Father never mentioned it. I have an aunt."
Ji Yun shook his head, then stared at the two people in the portrait, and said sadly: "But I don't understand, since my father was born in Jijia Village, and he has now become the ruler of Tianfeng Country, why doesn't he give back to these villagers and let them live a better life?"
Gu Zhinan sneered, "Repaying the debt? He is already merciful by not completely wiping out Jijia Village."
"Now, the people he associates with are all the famous families that he wanted to overthrow when he was young. Moreover, in his current view, being born in the poorest Honjima Village is a dark history of his."
“But he forgets that this is also the way he came.”
"Ah." Ji Yun sighed: "Father is indeed becoming more and more..."
"Time is running out. Let's go, Brother Ji, and go see your brother the king." Gu Zhinan said, "They are in the back mountain of this village."
"My two brothers above me, are they really still alive?"
Ji Yun's voice trembled, with an expression of disbelief: "I heard from my father that the two brothers were on their way to the Imperial Capital to pay respects to the Emperor of Great Xia, but unfortunately encountered a powerful demon and their bodies were completely destroyed."
Gu Zhinan shook his head: "Let them tell you the cause of their death in person."
"Okay! Thank you, Brother Gu, for leading the way! I will make sure everything is clear today!"
Young Master Ji, who had always been weak, now clenched his teeth, his eyes flashing with determination.
The two of them walked forward a few steps before Gu Zhinan discovered something.
Look back.
All I saw was a tall and plump figure wearing an elegant cheongsam, with a pair of beautiful white silk legs standing together, motionless.
"What's wrong, fairy? Are you tired from walking?"
Gu Zhinan walked forward and looked at the crystal high heels under Fairy Pei's white silk legs. He immediately squatted down and stroked the latter's plump calves: "Well, just before leaving Wuyang City, I happened to prepare a pair of flat-soled shoes in my storage spirit bag for you."
"Mr. Xing Gu, do you know?"
Pei Jianxian's phoenix eyes were slightly red, and he looked at the fishermen around him who were like refugees, with their clothes on. "My hometown in the north was just as poor as here. At that time, I looked at the nobles and the young ladies and gentlemen wearing gold and silver, as if I was looking at immortals in the sky. And you, a son of a family that protects the country, are even more immortal among immortals."
"ah?"
Gu Zhinan was stunned.
Since I started following Boss Pei at Black Tiger Mountain, this is the first time I’ve heard her mention her family background on her own initiative.
Fairy Pei said quietly, "You just said that King Ji came from the lower class, but after he came to power, he became even more oppressive and enslaved the poor people. What about you? Do you do the same?"
"We?" Gu Zhinan felt that this question was a little off.
"yes."
Pei Wanyu lowered her eyes and said, "I, I'm not stupid. Along the way, everyone has been saying that your Gu family will soon become the next generation of the imperial dynasty, and if you, Gu Zhinan, can quell the evil spirits in the southwest, you might really become one."
"Fairy, stop!" Gu Zhinan raised his hands quickly, "I am a free and easy person, I don't want to be anything..."
"What if?" Pei Wanyu interrupted, "What if you really take that position, or even rule the nine states one day, will you become like King Ji?"
Seeing the other party's serious expression, Gu Zhinan thought for a second and said seriously: "Maybe, maybe not."
"Maybe?" Pei Jianxian frowned slightly, seeming dissatisfied with the answer.
"Human nature is unpredictable." Gu Zhinan chuckled and said, "But I will prepare two swords."
"Two swords?"
Gu Zhinan said: "One sword is named Fairness, striving to eliminate all injustice in the world, while the other sword, Nameless, is always facing myself, reminding me that I was born nameless."
"Can't understand."
Pei Jianxian shook his head blankly, then crossed his arms and said, "If I were you, I would only keep one sword! If anyone bullies me, I will chop him off! Until all of these pests are killed!"
Damn.
Gu Zhinan's body trembled.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the IF line of the game.
After Pei Wanyu slaughtered all the aristocratic families and became the empress of the dynasty, even when she was building the luxurious and extravagant Cloud Top Palace, she used her life savings and offered a large reward to recruit hundreds of thousands of spiritual craftsmen instead of forcing them to do labor.
According to the character biographies in the game, this Queen Yaotian even paid for a bottle of Guojiao Xianjiu herself.
This is what it means to truly keep your original intention in mind.
Until the end of her life, this world boss never forgot that she was a farmer's daughter.
"Fairy, if that's the case..."
Gu Zhinan boldly approached Fairy Pei's plump buttocks under her white clothes, and half-jokingly said: "If there is such a day in the future, you can take the supreme seat, and I will be your good wife and help you."
"You are useless. Who, who wants your help?"
Fairy Pei blushed slightly, bit her lip and said, "You are my servant, and I am the only one who can protect you! Besides, I am determined to seek the pinnacle of Taoism, and I have no interest in these worldly fame and fortune!"
"That"
Gu Zhinan couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Fairy, under what extreme circumstances would you come out to compete for the throne of the Nine Provinces?"
Seeing the blank look in Fairy Zhangyu's eyes, he quickly added: "It means to dominate the world."
"Dominate the world."
Fairy Pei murmured these four words, and then, she held her chin with her hand, seemed to think seriously for a while, and said: "If the human world of Jiuzhou is already hopelessly rotten, and you, a self-proclaimed righteous pig servant, die, I might take action."
"clear."
Gu Zhinan nodded.
In an instant, the lake of my heart was cleansed, and huge waves were set off.
Deep in my heart, that bold and incredible guess once again emerged clearly.
The three of them came to the clan land in the back mountain of Jijia Village.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Rather than calling it a clan land, it would be more accurate to say that it is a deserted cemetery.
On the overgrown hill, except for a hunchbacked old man with silver hair sitting on a manhole cover, there were only tombstones standing crookedly in the overgrown grass.
"Brother Ji, your elder brother and second brother died in the well where this old man was sitting. They were trapped to death by your father."
Gu Zhinan looked at the frightened eldest son of the king standing aside and went straight to the point.
After hearing this, Ji Yun was shocked and asked the old man in front of him, "Old sir, do you know?"
"Don't ask him, he's gone crazy."
Gu Zhinan said, "He was originally the steward of your eldest brother's palace. After the eldest prince died in the well, he has been guarding the tomb here. After years of talking to himself, he is now insane and relies entirely on the villagers for food."
The words had just come out of my mouth.
"My Lord, is that you? You finally woke up! I knew you would wake up!"
Seeing Ji Yun coming, the old man stood up from the manhole cover and rushed over with tears in his eyes.
"Leave him alone, now."
Gu Zhinan reminded: "Lift up the manhole cover, the bodies of your two brothers are underneath! On the back of the manhole cover, their last words are written."
In his previous life, when he explored this well in the game, he found the bones and the last words of the two princes inside, and was shocked.
However, no one thought much about it at that time, and just regarded it as a struggle for royal power within the Ji family.
After saying this, he hesitated whether to accompany this cowardly young master into the bottom of the well.
Unexpectedly, the fat prince of the king walked around the old man in one step, lifted the manhole cover and jumped into the well.
"Okay. This guy still has some guts."
Gu Zhinan exclaimed in praise.
Unexpectedly, the next second, loud crying came from the bottom of the well:
“Wuwuwuwu! Big brother! Second brother! You died so miserably!”
Ignore the crazy old man mumbling to himself nearby.
The three of them looked at the words left by the two princes on the back of the manhole cover with complicated expressions.
It was clearly written in detail above that the two were imprisoned at the bottom of a well by King Ji and starved to death because they opposed King Ji's belief in the Venerable.
However, the most shocking thing was not the angry words the two men uttered when they were trapped at the bottom of the well, but that at the end of these desperate outbursts, they used their last bit of strength to write an innocent nursery rhyme.
"That's... that's the nursery rhyme that our father used to sing to us when we were little. It was written by him."
Ji Yun cried bitterly, "Although my father was only a deputy general under King Bai at that time, he loved us very much."
"Why. Why in just a few decades, he became a completely different person, brutally killing his own flesh and blood."
"It hurts! It hurts so much!"
"Brother Gu, please, tell me why this happened. Father must have been bewitched by that venerable, right? Or maybe it was the venerable's intention to kill the two brothers. Father must have some leverage in the venerable's hands!"
"It's not as complicated as you think."
Gu Zhinan shook his head and said, "He has become the king, holding absolute power, and has the "eternal life" promised by the Venerable. Sons like your two brothers who are disobedient but wise will naturally become his enemies."
"That supreme throne is the most corrupting to human hearts, which is also the common sense of the world."
Indeed, compared to the Chinese master in his previous life who "killed three sons in one day", King Ji is still slightly inferior.
Unless it is a righteous man sent from heaven, I am afraid that anyone who sits in that position will lose his original intention.
"wrong."
"There must be some misunderstanding here!"
"Brother Gu, you must be wrong this time!"
Ji Yun shook his head, suddenly stood up, and roared: "Although my father has been a little cold and cruel in recent years, I don't believe he would do this! Over the years, I have caused so much trouble and brought shame to the royal family, but my father only scolded me a few times at most and never punished me severely!"
"Hey, you really are..."
Gu Zhinan shook his head in disappointment and was about to speak.
A cold male voice came from behind:
"He didn't kill you because in his eyes, you are an insignificant clown who poses no threat and can be used for fun from time to time."
"My stupid brother."
Hearing the voice, the three of them looked back.
Then I saw a young man wearing a blue royal robe and with a gloomy temperament, walking slowly up the slope with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
It was the current monarch's second son, Ji Wenjun! "Wenjun? Why are you here?"
Ji Yun had always been afraid of his second brother, and his face turned pale immediately, and he instinctively took a step back.
"I am here to pay tribute to the two brothers who passed away young. I come here every year."
Ji Wenjun raised his eyebrows, then looked at Master Gu standing beside him, and said coldly: "Master Gu, why are you here?"
"The Fourth Master is my friend! He brought me here because he wanted to..."
Ji Yun was about to speak.
"Hush, Brother Wang, let me guess it myself."
Ji Wenjun pointed to his lips and said, "First of all, with your intelligence, it is impossible for you to find out the real cause of death of the two princes. So, Mr. Gu brought you here because he wanted to..."
"Convince you to join us, and then let you use your blood mark to enter the underground royal treasury, steal the real national seal, and weaken the power of national destiny on your father?"
"Oh, you always incite other people's fathers and sons to turn against each other. What a vicious plot, Fourth Master."
Gu Zhinan looked cold and didn't respond.
He really didn't expect that the second son of the monarch, who was a marginal NPC in the game, was so meticulous.
Yes, that was exactly what he planned.
Based on the background text of the Tianfeng Kingdom copy.
When the first monarch of Tianfeng Kingdom, Bai Tianqi, failed in his bid for the throne, he cut one third of the "Imperial Seal" passed down by the Emperor of Daxia and brought it to Tianfeng Island.
After the founding of the country, the broken jade seal was recast and turned into the national seal of Tianfeng Kingdom. From then on, the power of national destiny began to gather.
In the game, players can freely explore the indoor map of Tianfeng Palace and find that the Tianfeng national seal placed on the royal desk of King Ji is a fake one, without any national luck or royal aura on it! After some investigation, it can be found that the real national seal is locked in the underground treasury of the palace.
To open this treasure house, the blood mark of the descendants of the Ji family is required. Otherwise, even if the player upgrades the lock-picking skill to the maximum level, it will not be able to open it.
"Hey, Master Gu, do you think too highly of your stupid brother?"
Ji Wenjun shook his head and said, "He hasn't even figured out how to get to the royal kitchen in the palace. Do you expect him to find the entrance to the underground treasure house?"
"You know what? My father is a very cautious person. He knows that as long as the national seal is there and he does not leave the capital, he will have the power of national destiny to protect him."
"Over the years, he never went to the Hajj in the middle of summer for the same reason - he was afraid of death and being assassinated."
"So, you really think you can easily find his weakness? Through my kind and stupid brother?"
"So, Second Young Master, what do you think?"
Gu Zhinan raised his eyebrows slightly and stopped Pei Jianxian, who was standing next to him with murderous eyes and hand on the magic sword.
The atmosphere at this moment was extremely cold and solemn.
The next moment, under the nervous gaze of the three people.
The second son of the monarch actually knelt on one knee and bowed:
"Ji Wenjun is willing to be the guest of the Gu family and serve the Fourth Master as his master!"
"Please give me three hours, my Lord! Before the night banquet in the palace tonight, I will present the Tianfeng national seal to you!"
"After the matter is accomplished, I only hope that the Fourth Young Master will plead for me with the invincible First Young Master, asking him to release me from the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall. I want to take my love back to her hometown."
As he spoke, the sinister and treacherous second young master burst into tears.
Bang.
Just as the three people opposite were looking at each other, not knowing what to say.
A coarse cloth bag on the second young master's back fell to the ground with a thud.
What was inside was actually a huge red demon head!
Damn, this guy is not a necrophiliac, right?
Gu Zhinan's body trembled and he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.
"I killed this witch."
Pei Jianxian, who was standing by, looked at him with disdainful eyes, "Why? Are you thinking about revenge for her?"
"Fairy, you are wrong."
Ji Wenjun smiled sadly, walked forward, kissed the forehead of the demon's head, and then gently wrapped it up again.
"It was not you who killed my lover, but——"
"That damn Ji Shixun and the Venerable."
"I want them to die!!!"
Miaoyin Peak, Miaoyin Pavilion.
The Queen Mother of Tianfeng Kingdom, with a dazed look on her face and red eyes, sat on the Pavilion Master's throne.
Her pair of beautiful white legs, which she always liked to lift up, now fell down in a daze, and her newly purchased red crystal high heels slipped down from her delicate and small feet little by little. "Liu Nanyin, I have told you all the evil behind the Miaoyin Pavilion."
"I have decided to form an alliance with that Fourth Master Gu, and will give him the Wind Spirit Pearl and...
"At the birthday banquet tonight, we will start a rebellion and fight against King Ji and His Majesty!"
"You choose where to go!"
"Caiwei, let's go."
In the center of the hall, the former Pavilion Master, the Princess of the New Tianfeng Kingdom, Fairy Han said coldly, took the hand of Saint Miaoyin beside her, and the two walked away side by side.
"Farewell, Junior Master."
Liu Nanyin gritted her teeth and stood up to salute. Then, she looked at the graceful and beautiful figure that she had raised, and choked up and said, "Caiwei, why don't you stay and accompany Master more? After you left last night, Master really didn't sleep all night."
"Master, I"
Seeing her master's beautiful eyes turning red, Fairy Ning also burst into tears.
She couldn't fool herself.
After a night of separation, she saw her master again and wanted to rush up and hug her not-so-tall but unusually plump and soft body.
However, at this moment.
The words and deeds of the master, Mr. Gu, came to her mind.
She was silent for a moment, then shook her head firmly: "I'm sorry! Master! Justice is at the forefront. If we are not destined to be on the same path, please forgive me."
"Shut up and let me think about it."
Pavilion Master Liu raised her round and plump buttocks and sat back on the throne.
The pair of snow-white legs, with well-proportioned and plump curves set off by the high heels, were gently caressed.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment.
Pavilion Master Liu lowered her head, and a blush appeared on her charming round oval face: "What if I were like you and was willing to sacrifice myself for that little thief of the Gu family?"
