Chapter 154 Female Ghost (×) Ancestor Milk (√) (Three in One)
Gu Lianxian was conflicted for a long time before coming here.
She returned to the palace in a daze and locked herself in her room. Although she had accepted the fact, she still felt sad...
She really lost the bet with that man.
How could this happen?
In just over twenty days, the world showed her completely different truths in the cruelest way.
She used to live in the palace and truly thought that her father was the most upright man in the world, a "Military Saint" respected by everyone, with a great reputation and invincibility in the world. He was a great hero who fought against the Qing Man.
From childhood to adulthood, the person she admired most was Gu Yuye. Whenever she heard passers-by praising the King of Zhenbei, she would stop and listen for a while, feeling extremely proud.
But when she was surrounded by so many enemies in the stone forest, she never waited for the hero in her heart to come and save her.
She knows her father best.
Therefore, she knew clearly that as long as Gu Yuye was willing, he would definitely be able to find her and rescue her.
But he didn't come.
Even after returning today, Gu Yuye came to her in person, explained the pros and cons to her, and told her that he was accidentally framed at the time and had to meditate in Ziji Palace.
Gu Lianxian understood these principles and also sympathized with her father's difficulties.
But the image that Gu Yuye created in the past was not like this. In front of Gu Lianxian, he was a loving father who doted on his daughter and a hero who did not care about power and interests.
Faced with his relatives and his own status, he should choose his relatives.
But he didn't.
No matter how stupid or foolish Gu Lianxian was, she understood it.
Her father was not what she thought he was, she comforted herself, after all, he was the King of Zhenbei, a powerful official, and he had his own limitations.
So what about her second brother?
Originally, the thing that made Gu Lianxian happiest was that Gu Fangchen, the villain she hated and who brought shame to everyone in the palace, was replaced by a well-known gentleman.
But in the end, she found out that her longing was just wishful thinking.
This so-called true gentleman actually tried to kill their mother!
Even Gu Fangchen wouldn't do such a beastly thing!
As a result, Gu Yuandao thrust out the sword without any hesitation, and there was no false murderous intent in his thrust.
Others would be fooled by claims that Gu Yuandao was bewitched and controlled by a cult.
But when he came to Gu Lianxian's house and asked her to cooperate in pretending to hold Ning Caiyong hostage, she did not look unconscious at all.
She had actually thought about exposing Gu Yuandao that day in the Purple Extreme Palace, but when the Confucian Sage arrived, she couldn't open her mouth...
The world of Jianghu is not what she imagined.
Everyone is either black or white, good or evil, and those hateful villains are waiting for her, the heroine, to defeat them... That's not the case.
A gentleman is not a gentleman, and a hero is not a hero.
Because of her trust in Gu Yuandao, a gentleman, she fell into a deeper quagmire.
"If he was a true gentleman, I wouldn't have lost this bet to that horrible beast..."
In Gu Lianxian's eyes, the two people who could have saved her failed to come to save her twice.
She thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
The complexity of these things has far exceeded the limits of her brain's ability to think.
But as it gradually darkened, she remembered what the beast had said.
If she didn't fulfill her promise, who knows what terrible things that guy would do to her...
Therefore, Gu Lianxian hesitated for a long time, and finally took advantage of the night to run to Xiefangyuan.
Of course, in this palace, her actions could not be hidden from others.
She had no intention of hiding her tracks, so she simply took the initiative to find Ning Caiyong and said that she had misunderstood Gu Fangchen before and wanted to apologize to him.
Ning Caiyong even praised her for being sensible...
Gu Lianxian didn't know how to face her mother. She came to the yard in shame and knocked on Gu Fangchen's door.
Gu Fangchen didn't seem surprised and said calmly, "Come in."
Gu Lianxian took a deep breath, pushed the door open and walked in, lowered her head, pinched her skirt with both hands, and squeezed the thin fabric into a mess.
Gu Fangchen smiled and said playfully:
"Isn't this our little princess who hates those despicable villains the most? Why are you coming to my yard in the middle of the night? Are you planning to put a sack on me and beat me up?"
"I've told you in advance, you may not be able to beat me right now, but when the time comes, don't let me beat you to tears and then complain to Gu Yuye!"
Gu Lianxian's face turned red when she heard this, and she clenched her teeth. She was originally feeling ashamed and timid, but after being provoked by Gu Fangchen, she suddenly felt itchy and wanted to bite him.
This guy, why is he still so annoying!
She subconsciously didn't want to give in in front of Gu Fangchen, and said unconvincedly:
"How shameless! How long have you only been at the sixth rank... I, I'm not afraid of you!"
"Oh? Are you really not afraid?"
Gu Fangchen smiled, then suddenly waved his sleeves.
“Bang!”
The door slammed shut.
Gu Lianxian was startled and was about to turn around when she saw a flash of cold light.
Gu Fangchen had already summoned the [White Horse] and placed a sword on her neck, his eyes icy cold.
Gu Lianxian's hair stood on end, and just as she was about to retreat, in an instant, the momentum of the sixth-grade martial courage realm came over her like a tidal wave.
Her whole body was stiff, her mind was blank, her legs went limp, and she collapsed to the ground.
Gu Fangchen tapped her shoulder with his sword and taunted:
"Gu Lianxian, you're really a loser. We're both sixth-grade, but you can't even block my sword. Haven't you noticed that your level is about to regress to the point of falling behind?"
"You only remember that you are at the sixth level, and you almost forgot the name of the Martial Gallant Realm, right?"
Gu Lianxian's face turned pale.
She herself couldn't believe it, but that was the fact... She really couldn't even withstand Gu Fangchen's sword.
In the past, she called Gu Fangchen a waste, but now, this title was applied to her!
Because of fear and doubt, her courage was completely gone.
Then what else could she be proud of...
It turns out that even if she wasn't threatened by that beast, she would still be so useless.
She is so useless!
The girl's tears began to fall, and she burst into tears in an instant. She whispered in a low voice:
"I'm sorry... I was wrong. It was all my fault before. I just came to apologize to you... Wow!"
After she finished speaking, she shook her body and burst into tears, crying until she was out of breath.
Gu Fangchen: “…”
It seems... a bit too much?
The successive bombardment of several identities almost destroyed Gu Lianxian's personality.
She probably cried more in the past few days than in the previous sixteen years combined.
The little princess's original personality was quite different from her name. She was not a pitiful crybaby, but a spoiled and domineering devil.
Now he's almost turning into a crybaby.
Gu Fangchen was annoyed by her crying for a moment, he sighed, put away his sword, and said calmly:
"So how are you going to apologize?"
Gu Lianxian sobbed for a while, then raised her head, and simply threw herself on the ground, baring her teeth and yelling at Gu Fangchen as if to vent her anger:
"Woof! Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof woof!"
Gu Fangchen: “…”
There is indeed no regulation on what breed a dog should be when barking like a dog?
This guy is learning from Beagle, right?
"Okay, I'm a puppy, are you satisfied?"
Gu Lianxian's face flushed red, and she felt that she had lost all her face in this life. She got up, turned around and ran out.
Halfway through the run, he fell flat on the ground with a bang, his face flat on the ground, then he jumped up quickly and continued running.
Disappeared into the night.
She ran breathlessly to hide behind the wall, squatted on the ground, and buried her face in her knees.
Wuuwuwuwu…
She actually knelt down and barked like a dog to Gu Fangchen!
But after a while, the girl raised her head slightly, revealing a pair of watery and misty eyes.
But...but...she actually felt a sense of relief in her heart at that moment!
It seems that as long as you become a dog, you don’t have to think about all those trivial and complicated things.
All people's troubles disappeared.
She only needs to be a dog, eat, drink, sleep, and bark when she is unhappy... How nice it would be.
"No, no!"
Gu Lianxian shook her head violently, pursed her lips, and murmured:
"I'm a human being. I'm the princess of the Zhenbei Palace. How could I be a dog? I was forced by that beast. How could I think that way myself? Isn't that self-degradation?"
"Absolutely not!"
She repeated it several times, barely regaining her composure, and stood up and walked back to her yard.
"That's right...I absolutely cannot be anyone's dog again!"
…
Gu Fangchen's eyes flickered as he watched the figure disappearing in the distance.
Well... so far, the effect is pretty good.
Blindly applying pressure will definitely not work, and may cause Gu Lianxian's personality to gradually collapse. However, if you just explode her in one go, there will be no such problem.
Gu Lianxian's world has changed so much that if she relies on herself to think, she will definitely get stuck in a dead end.
So, just don't let her think about it.
As long as she let go of her rationality just now, she could feel the pressure released... If it happens a few more times, she will probably fall in love with this feeling.
This is also to prepare for the future merger of the three identities.
In this way, there are three identities: some people exert pressure, some people serve as spiritual support, and some people are responsible for lowering blood pressure.
It’s okay without the other two, but Gu Fangchen is the only one responsible for lowering blood pressure. Gu Lianxian is addicted and can’t leave him at all.
Gu Fangchen ordered the maid serving outside to go and look after Gu Lianxian, and he returned to the room to continue his cultivation process that had been interrupted before.
The meridians and dantian he has reshaped now are both excellent talents, and the efficiency of his cultivation and absorption is several times higher.
In addition, he had not wasted any time along the way, and he had already reached the peak of the seventh level of the Wandering God Realm.
This is mainly because the first few small realms of Shinto practice have almost no requirements for the skills.
Anyway, I can't use many magical powers, so I just need to accumulate experience points.
Coincidentally, the nectar in the "Shen Yun Bottle" is most effective for cultivators who have just used it.
Just like antibiotics, drug resistance will occur if they are used too much.
Now the two effects are superimposed, that is, 1+1>2.
Therefore, when Gu Fangchen checked just now, he felt that his realm seemed to be loosening.
At this moment, he suddenly had an impulse and decided to go with the flow and try to break through directly!
The sixth rank above the seventh rank of Shintoism is called the realm of attaining meaning.
Become carried away by success.
Just like the sixth level of martial arts, the Wudan realm will generate courage and condense into a terrifying momentum.
When the soul reaches this level, it will develop its own artistic conception, which is no longer just a simple thought.
A soul with artistic conception will no longer be bound by the appearance of its own physical body. It can transform into certain appearances in its imagination, thereby shocking others or engaging in battles.
Only when a Shinto monk reaches the sixth rank can he have some means of attack.
Before this, they were just simple mental attacks, or interfering with reality, moving some objects or something, there was nothing fancy or anything else, it was very pitiful.
Gu Fangchen swallowed the nectar, calmed down, and sat cross-legged.
However, if one wants to break through to the sixth level of the divine way, the normal process still takes a long time. One must go into seclusion for at least two or three days and wait patiently for the transformation of the soul.
But Gu Fangchen knew all the shortcuts.
There is also a simpler way to break through the sixth level of the Shinto realm, called the "Butterfly Transformation Method."
It is simple to say, it is similar to the visualization method, which promotes the concentration of the soul's artistic conception by imagining a picture.
This method was invented by a young monk himself and was not spread.
But it does work.
But after a moment, he felt the Niwan Palace between his eyebrows slightly warm, bulging, and a little swollen, as if something was trying to break free.
Concentrate your mind and imagine the scene of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.
The soul struggled hard and left the body, turning into a dancing butterfly.
Sixth level, get the artistic conception!
Gu Fangchen's perspective at this moment was no longer just a vague thought as before, but had almost become a physical entity.
It was as if he was relying on a butterfly, and even the flapping of its wings and the swaying of its antennae had to be controlled by him.
“Wow, wow, wow!”
The little butterfly was flying in the air, swaying from side to side as if it was drunk.
The sound of flapping wings sounded like a strong wind in Gu Fangchen's ears!
It took him a while to adjust to the butterfly form.
From below came the curious giggling sounds of several night watch maids.
"Look, what a beautiful butterfly!"
"It's blue! It's so pretty!"
"Shh—I'll catch it!"
As soon as Gu Fangchen heard these words, he felt a gust of wind blowing in his face, and saw a huge round plate - a round fan, pressing towards him.
"Huh? I clearly caught it!"
"Hehe, you're just bragging! You can't even catch a butterfly, wait for me next time!"
…
In the room, Gu Fangchen opened his eyes quickly and touched his eyebrows.
This is the sixth level. At this stage, the image formed by the soul can appear in front of people and be indistinguishable from the real thing, confusing or intimidating the opponent.
Um... butterflies don't count.
This butterfly artistic conception was specially prepared for breakthroughs and naturally has no practical value.
Even if you want to peek, you have to transform into a fly or mosquito.
This butterfly flutters so slowly and is totally inappropriate.
"When we find the Eye Heavenly Master, we can ask them for some visualization diagrams."
Gu Fangchen touched his chin.
Although his dual cultivation of Shenwu takes the route of weird numbers, since he has the conditions to become stronger, he certainly cannot just be perfunctory about it.
If you want to know where in the world the most comprehensive martial arts skills are, it must be Yan Tiansi.
There must be precious visualization diagrams from various forces, but those are too advanced, and it is difficult for Gu Fangchen to obtain them, and he feels that he can't understand anything.
The main thing is to find something simple and convenient, preferably very insidious... ahem, he means, something that is easy to use...
Gu Fangchen walked down and stretched. Having just been promoted, he was full of energy and refreshed, not feeling sleepy at all.
He planned to wait for a while until the time came tonight, when his career would be refreshed, and then he would plan his future development path.
He promised to kill Mahamudra for Ding Xingfeng, but it would take at most a year or two. If it took too long, old man Ding would definitely become suspicious.
If the profession can no longer obtain an instant kill skill like [Emperor], then he can only do it himself.
You still have to improve your strength as much as possible.
By the way, there is also a scheduled fight with General Qianmo to break the formation. Judging from the time, it will be soon.
With his current level of Shinto, there is no need to worry too much.
But the Demon Cult is quiet now, it’s definitely not because they are afraid, but they are definitely holding it in... They are probably preparing to kill him.
Now that their plan relying on Gu Yuandao has completely failed, their first goal must be to eliminate themselves as the factor that hinders the plan.
"Heh... But now it's my turn to fight back."
Gu Fangchen narrowed his eyes, sat down in front of the table, fiddled with the bronze mirror, and looked at himself in the mirror.
"Master Imperial Master, you should have figured out the whereabouts of one of the Six Star Lords' clones, right?"
Whenever the Grand Master comes to see him again, that will be the day for him to take on the mission.
"The last time the Demon Cult arrived so quickly, it must have been the divination of the Six Star Lords. This guy was like a fog on the Demon Cult's side. Combined with the mobility of the Longitude and Latitude, they couldn't find the Demon Cult's base at all."
"Only by clearing your vision first can you strike directly at Huanglong."
"But then again, the Imperial Master never likes to show his spirit to others, but prefers to possess people. Will he possess Xuexiang next time?"
Gu Fangchen's expression was a little strange.
Judging from Xuexiang's performance along the way and Ning Caiyong's eagerness to get married, he must have instructed the little maid about some things.
Wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing if this imperial teacher were to possess me again?
As for why the National Master doesn't like to show his spirit to others, it's not to maintain mystery, it's simply because... the National Master has a bit of social anxiety.
A disciple of a secluded sect who came from the deep mountains and old forests. To put it nicely, he is aloof and aloof, but in fact he is just a simple social phobia.
He doesn't even live in the Imperial Master's Mansion. He likes to live alone in the "Canliao Pillar" and doesn't like to talk to anyone at all.
When the soul manifests, it is completely possible not to use the artistic conception created by visualization, and it is also possible to simply transform into your original appearance.
In this way, it becomes a magical power similar to the ability to create a clone.
And when the clone appears in front of people, it is exactly the same as when you appear in front of people.
Just like the person standing behind him now...
“…”
"Um???!!!"
Gu Fangchen's eyes suddenly widened.
etc!
What’s going on?!
His whole body stiffened as he looked into the bronze mirror.
In the mirror, besides his own face, not far behind him, in the corner on the left side of the room, there stood silently a stunning woman in a green gauze dress.
That stunning woman with rosy lips was lying alive in a sarcophagus surrounded by a sea of blue flowers not long ago.
And now, she still closed her eyes, but stood in a calm and dignified posture, with blue flowers blooming at her feet, gradually spreading around.
Gu Fangchen's heart was pounding, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his heart seemed to be jumping out of his throat.
This is fucking more terrifying than seeing his own face!
His own face followed, so be it; it was his own after all...
But the person in front of me is a real dead person!
In the plot that Gu Fangchen knew, that person was also dead.
Now it has become alive...
At this moment, Gu Fangchen knew that the butterfly effect caused by his time travel had finally arrived.
And, when it comes, it’s a big one!
Logically speaking, judging from historical records, the founder of Jiange... no, the founder's grandmother, should also be a good person.
But that presupposes that, for ordinary people, he is a good person.
But, is Gu Fangchen an ordinary person?
He thought about it.
Not only was he extremely offensive, he also held the Grandmother's hand for several full five minutes, stole off her clothes, and exposed her pure and innocent body.
Even the remaining sword intent, earth veins, and forged swords were all stolen.
what to do?
Is it too late to return the sword now?
Gu Fangchen took a deep breath, turned his head stiffly, and glanced quickly at the corner of the wall.
In the dim room, the blue flowers emitting a faint fluorescent light grew in all corners and even looked pretty.
The stunningly beautiful woman in the green dress suddenly opened her eyes and met Gu Fangchen's gaze.
Those eyes were as vast as the starry sky and as deep as the underworld. They were indifferent and without any emotion.
But Gu Fangchen keenly discovered that the distance between the woman and him... seemed to be closer.
“!”
Oh shit!
She's coming!
Gu Fangchen froze in place, not daring to move.
The reason why he hadn't seen the ancestor grandmother following him before was probably because his soul was not strong enough.
I hadn't broken through to the sixth rank before, so I couldn't even see the soul of the Grandmother...
He wanted to cry but had no tears.
I might as well not make a breakthrough.
Once it breaks through, it turns into a horror movie!
"The question is, why did this Grandmother come looking for me... Given her ability to follow me silently, if she got angry because I saw her naked, she would just kill me on the way, right?"
"It's probably just that I have something she needs..."
Gu Fangchen's brain was working rapidly. He tentatively flipped his wrist and took out the [Seventy-two Peaks Towering Sword].
His face was serious and he said sincerely:
"Senior Shi, I didn't mean to offend you. I was simply in a hurry. To save my own life, I had no choice but to take your sword..."
Gu Fangchen raised the sword with both hands:
"Now, I will return the sword to you, Senior."
As he spoke, he stood up, took a deep breath, and slowly walked towards the "female ghost" in the corner.
