Chapter 157 Chapter 157 is the only genuine version...
Mrs. Gui was breathing rapidly.
Gu Zhizhuo rubbed her back to help her breathe, and pondered, "Why do you say that?"
Madam Gui was silent for a moment.
She and Miss Gu had only met a few times. Even two days ago at Tianxi Tower, Miss Gu hadn't noticed her presence. But Lady Gui could tell that Miss Gu was quite formidable.
Miss Gu really wanted to save her.
"Meow."
The cat licked her cheek, and the soft little ball felt warm.
Madam Gui gazed at the yellowed page of paper spread out on the brocade quilt and panted softly, "You know about the Yin family, right?"
"I know."
Madam Gui's tense back slowly relaxed. She said, "...Later, I returned to Blackwater Castle."
She slowly told her everything she had seen and heard.
Gu Zhizhuo's fingers were as taut as strings, and his head could hear a buzzing sound.
She stared at the bright red runes on the paper.
After Lady Gui finished speaking, she continued softly, "Back then, because I ran away, the formation became slightly damaged. So..."
Gu Zhizhuo sighed, and before she could finish, he continued, "You are gradually declining, and you are nourishing this large-scale transfer array with your flesh and blood."
Afterwards, she would bear all the backlash and cause and effect at the cost of her soul being torn apart. From then on, there would be no such person as Yin Xiyan in the Three Realms, Five Paths, and Six Bridges.
Lady Gui smiled and said, "Yes."
Gu Zhizhuo's tone grew increasingly serious. "However, once the ritual begins and before it ends, you, the center of the formation, will be crucial."
"If you die during this time, this ritual will fail and the formation will collapse."
Gu Zhizhuo was a disciple of Taoism in both of her lives. Even if she didn't understand the Zhuyin Mantra, she could still apply it to other situations.
Taoist talismans, spells, and formations mostly follow the same principle.
Once started, it cannot be interrupted halfway, otherwise it will not only fail, but will also backfire on the caster.
turn out to be……
This is what Lady Gui had in mind.
The cat rested its little head on her chest and rubbed her chin, being very affectionate.
Mrs. Gui smiled and finally couldn't help but touch its shiny fur.
"Miss Gu is from the Taoist sect, right?"
Therefore, Miss Gu could understand her intention.
She didn't ask to die, but she had to die.
After leaving Blackwater Castle, Lady Gui spent eight years traveling all over Daqi, falling into prostitution. All the unbearable things she had experienced haunted her day and night, but she never sought death and persevered until now.
"Miss Gu," Madam Gui took out a purse from under her pillow and handed it to her.
Gu Zhizhuo knew there were two layers inside the purse as soon as she squeezed it. She used the paper cutter she carried with her to cut the purse open, and found a talisman in the middle layer.
Lady Gui said with a relaxed tone and a smile, "I let them find me on purpose."
The purse was a deposit given by Zheng, the steward of the Prince of Jin's Mansion at that time. When she received the purse, she knew that the matter was settled.
"This is my wish," Lady Gui said earnestly, "Please fulfill it."
Her voice gradually became softer, and she could barely finish the words.
"I want them to pay."
Use yourself as bait to lure the other party to find her.
The other party will be eager to complete the ritual of that year. Once the ritual is over, the destiny that has been arbitrarily changed will become a foregone conclusion.
However, if she died before that, the luck-changing formation would completely fail.
All the consequences will backfire on the person who cast the spell.
All those who benefit from this ritual will suffer a fate worse than death.
After knowing the answer, Gui Niangzi's life goal was to become the center of the formation.
Then, die.
No matter what the cost, she would drag those people to a miserable death.
Gu Zhizhuo opened his mouth, then suddenly clenched the talisman in his hand, wrinkling the bright yellow paper.
"Blackwater Castle ten years ago."
"Using the flesh and blood of the people of the city as a guide, and the daughter of the Yin family as the center of the formation, it will change against the will of heaven."
"An unprecedented transfer array."
She muttered to herself.
At this moment, she seemed to have seen through the secret.
Although no one knew Changfeng's purpose, he chose the then second prince, Prince Rong, as the king.
Changfeng and King Jin sacrificed the blood and flesh of the entire city and abruptly changed the fate of the country.
As a result, the crown prince who had firmly established himself in the Eastern Palace was suddenly deposed and committed suicide. The previous emperor died suddenly on the way to the south. Prince Rong, who had never made any achievements, suddenly rose to become the new emperor.
The emperor of the world receives the mandate of heaven and rules the world. (Note)
From then on, a new destiny was born in the way of heaven.
Fortunately, the lucky charm formation was missing a core, and there was a loophole in destiny, so the young master survived the disaster.
When it comes to ruling and governing, maneuvering, and maneuvering, neither the emperor nor his sons are anywhere near as good as the young master. In fact, in his previous life, the young master had had numerous opportunities to turn the tide and rise above everyone else, but each time, he was defeated by luck and weakness.
Now think about it.
It was the way of heaven that automatically repaired the "loophole", so Ji Nan Ke, a person from another world, came and gave her the greatest blessing and protection.
Ji Nan Ke blessed Xie Jing, and she used her great fortune to eliminate the loophole of the young master.
She made up for Xie Jing's weaknesses in qualifications and continued the dynasty of Daqi.
Gu Zhizhuo rubbed his swollen and aching forehead. This was all simply ridiculous!
In the previous life...
She lowered the curtain slightly. Without her involvement, the sister of the Yin family in the previous life would definitely die.
As long as she was determined to die, there was no way she could survive.
The only thing I don’t know is whether Sister Yin succeeded or failed in her previous life.
It was a failure at the last moment.
Still got what I wanted...
Gu Zhizhuo's heart was beating wildly. He raised his head suddenly and met Gui Niang's eyes. His black pupils were exceptionally clear, with a faint watery light, and were also exceptionally open.
"Maybe……"
Gu Zhizhuo muttered to himself.
She suddenly realized that perhaps her rebirth was an opportunity that her elder sister Yin had bought at the cost of her soul being torn apart.
A chance to restore this ridiculous destiny to its rightful place and correct all its mistakes!
All this flashed through her mind for only a moment before Lady Gui's cold hands pulled her back from her thoughts.
Her whole body was terribly cold, like a living dead, with only a little breath left.
"Miss Gu, please help me!"
Madam Gui looked at the dagger that fell on the ground with a pleading look on her face.
From the age of twelve, revenge had become her greatest wish. If she couldn't get revenge, even if she was still alive, what good would it do? She had long since given up wanting to live. Ever since that nightmare, she had been constantly sinking and wandering in the underworld, unable to find a good end.
Madam Gui closed her eyes. She didn't dare to ask whether the person who asked Gu Zhizhuo to find her was her younger brother.
If her brother were still alive, she would be willing to bear all the sins in exchange for her only relative to live a peaceful life.
"It's too late." Gui Niangzi's voice became weaker and weaker.
Once the ritual is completed, Lady Gui will die.
This forcibly changed destiny will become the rule of heaven and it will be difficult to reverse it.
Only Lady Gui is dead now.
Only then will destiny return to its original, correct track.
There is no other choice.
Even killing Changfeng wouldn't work.
"To retreat is to die, to advance is to perish. So that's what it means."
Gu Zhizhuo felt her pulse again. In just a short time, it had become so weak that he could hardly feel it.
She couldn't last more than a cup of tea.
Success or failure, Gu Zhizhuo must make a choice.
Gu Zhizhuo bent down and picked up the dagger. Gui Niang smiled and wanted to take it, but Gu Zhizhuo did not give it to her.
"Sister Yin."
Gu Zhizhuo measured the weight of the dagger, held it firmly in his palm, and asked her only one question: "Do you believe me?"
The two looked at each other, and Madam Gui nodded with a stiff neck, a smile on her lips: "A letter."
"good."
Gu Zhizhuo has never been a person who hesitates.
Especially since once she makes a decision, there will be no changes.
She took out the pill again and put it close to Gui Niang's mouth: "Eat it."
Madam Gui: “…” She opened her mouth as she was told.
The pill melted in her mouth, like a warm current flowing through her limbs and internal organs. A warmth surged through her cold body, and even her exhaled breath became gentler.
Her stiff body seemed to have some strength and she didn't look so dead anymore.
Gu Zhizhuo put his two fingers together like a sword, and his fingertips touched her forehead.
He was muttering to himself.
"Heaven and earth have been judged, the five thunders have begun to split... Hurry as the law commands."
As the voice fell, Gu Zhizhuo quickly drew a rune on her forehead.
"Cat, get out of the way."
"Meow?"
The cat obediently jumped to the edge of the bed, shaking its tail wildly and moving its whiskers. It was so excited that it didn't know what to do.
"Believe me!"
Gu Zhizhuo closed her eyes, and then she pressed down Gui Niangzi's slender shoulder with one hand, raised the dagger, and stabbed it hard into her chest.
The dagger, flashing with a sharp silver light, enlarged in the lady's pupils, and she smiled with relief, which was incredibly beautiful.
"Thanks."
"Meow!"
The dagger stabbed into her chest, and blood splattered onto Gu Zhizhuo's face along the pulled out dagger.
Rumble!
A loud thunder boomed, accompanied by lightning that fell from the sky, hitting the eaves, and even the wing room shook.
Rumble!
Muffled thunder continued to explode in the sky, as if something was brewing.
The sky gradually changed color, and a sense of impending storm swept around.
Thunder and rain were raging, and pedestrians on the street hurriedly took shelter under the eaves. As the sky darkened, the vendors quickly packed up their stalls. An old woman, putting her sachets into her basket, glanced at the sky and muttered, "This weather is so strange! It thundered as it said it would, and it's bound to rain. I'd better go home first..."
Two fast horses galloped past her and knocked over her stall, which she had not yet tidied up, with a bang, and the sachets on the stall rolled all over the ground.
"Oh my."
Grandma was heartbroken.
She hurriedly bent down to pick it up. The sachet was covered with some dust and mud. She patted it, but it was not clean. She became even more anxious. If she couldn't wipe it clean, she wouldn't be able to sell it at a good price.
Anyone who dares to gallop on horseback in the capital must be rich or noble. The old lady could only consider herself unlucky and dared not provoke him. She cursed viciously in her heart: You are running so fast, you are not in a hurry to reincarnate, why don’t you fall down?
The leading horse suddenly neighed, and the King of Jin fell off the horse without warning and fell heavily to the ground.
The old lady was stunned.
So effective?
"Your Majesty! Whoosh."
The man on the other horse frantically grabbed the reins, scrambled down from the horse's back, and ran over while shouting.
It turned out to be a prince? The old woman's heart was pounding with fear. This was not her own curse. She quickly lowered her head and slowly moved back, pretending that she didn't exist.
"Your Highness! Your Highness." Wang Changshi rushed to Prince Jin and helped him up.
"Are you all right?"
Prince Jin waved his hands, enduring the pain in his body: "It's okay."
I don't know why I suddenly felt a sudden panic for no reason. My hands loosened and I fell down. My head was still buzzing.
King Jin said, "Help me up. We must return quickly."
He had just received news that the Eastern Depot had sealed his palace. He didn't know what had happened, but he had a very ominous premonition.
The East Factory acts rudely, it can't be that he offended Shen Xu, right?
King Jin struggled to get up, and then he noticed that the back of his hand had rubbed against a small stone on the ground when he fell, leaving a small wound. The wound was only the size of a fingernail and was bleeding a little.
Someone with military experience wouldn't care about such a minor wound. The Prince of Jin climbed up with the help of the Chief Secretary Wang's arm, and then mounted their horses. The two horses rode straight to the Prince of Jin's mansion.
There were bursts of muffled thunder above his head. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but King Jin always felt that the thunder was chasing his head.
The Prince of Jin's mansion was not far ahead, and the Jinyiwei, dressed in flying fish uniforms, had sealed off the entire street. The Prince of Jin rode over quickly, and before he could say anything, a captain leading the Jinyiwei smiled and waved his hand. The Jinyiwei tacitly made way for him, not blocking him and even opening the corner gate for him.
The captain smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please come in."
His attitude was like a smiling tiger, with a hint of ill intentions. But no matter what, the Prince of Jin had to go in. He glanced at the captain with a gloomy look and rushed into the palace.
As he entered the door, the anger that King Jin had suppressed with great difficulty began to boil over again, and his hand holding the reins suddenly tightened.
The guards were kneeling behind the screen wall. All the hundreds of guards in his palace had their weapons confiscated, their hands tied behind their backs, and they were kneeling straight in several rows. When King Jin saw this at first glance, he was almost scared.
Beside them, more than a dozen corpses of guards were thrown, as if to intimidate something.
In his palace.
The East Factory actually dared to kill people?!
What a courage!
"Your Majesty."
Seeing Prince Jin return, the guards seemed to have gained a backbone, their faces showing joy. One of the guards immediately shouted: "Lord Shen and his men broke into the courtyard of Master Changfeng."
The guard standing by waited for him to finish his words, then kicked the shouting guard, causing him to roll on the ground.
"Okay, okay."
The Prince of Jin laughed in anger, "The East Factory is so rampant. I want to see how your head of the family will explain it to me."
Prince Jin flicked his sleeves heavily and walked away.
The attendant following behind shouted, "Your Majesty, your hand, your hand is bleeding!"
King Jin paused for a moment, raised his hand and looked at the small cut just now. It seemed that more and more blood was oozing out.
Did you get pricked by something?
So deep?
Prince Jin didn't think much about it and took out a handkerchief to bandage it casually.
He walked very fast, and Wang Changshi followed closely behind him. He couldn't help but look at the injured hand of Prince Jin. A little red had leaked out of the tied handkerchief, and the blood had stained the clean handkerchief.
Wang Changshi felt a little uneasy and was about to give another reminder when a shrill scream came from the front.
"impossible!"
King Jin recognized the voice; it was Changfeng.
His expression suddenly tightened, his pace quickened a bit, and he pushed open the door of the courtyard breathlessly.
"Chen Xu, how dare you be in my palace..."
King Jin's questioning voice suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, he raised his hand and pointed tremblingly ahead.
"Real, real person."
"Your hair..."
Changfeng's black hair was shiny and glossy, and even when it was spread out, it was like the finest silk, without a single silver thread.
And now, a few strands of white hair appeared visible to the naked eye, followed by more and more white hair and less and less black hair. In just a few breaths, the hair was almost completely white, rough and messy, hanging on the shoulders.
Hearing King Jin's exclamation, he woodenly lifted up a strand of hair.
The strand of white hair fell down and landed in his palm.
Changfeng shuddered, and his hands that were supporting his body lost strength and fell to the ground.
"impossible!"
This is backlash.
Changfeng's voice became sharper and sharper, no longer as calm and composed as before. Fear appeared in his eyes and spread across his face.
"No, destiny was born for me... No!"
"No!"
