Chapter 179 Don’t be afraid, I won’t do anything
For Gu Yuye, once the dragon vein is formed, it means that the plan is basically fully implemented and there are no other concerns.
Even if there is a pit, as long as the dragon vein is in his hands, he can control the situation.
Therefore, whether the true identity is exposed or not will be meaningless by then.
He never showed his true self out of caution, not fear.
His original strength is actually higher than that of his clone. Unless he is unlucky enough that the saint from Yaoshan comes out of retreat, no one can kill him with one blow.
Even if the saint comes out of retreat, as long as the fate of the country depends on him, the saint will probably have to protect him to prevent the fate of the country from being exploited by the evil cult and opening the gate of heaven!
So, Gu Yuye made a decision after just a moment of thought.
As long as we can confirm that this "Love" Daoist Master is not Gu Fangchen, then everything will be easy.
No matter how powerful Gu Fangchen is, he is still being used and persecuted by the Demon Cult. The hatred between the two is no less than that between him and Gu Yuye.
Ding Xingfeng, Princess Prajna and others can be said to be old acquaintances, or have conflicts of interest.
But no matter what, the leader of the Demon Cult has no reason to protect Gu Fangchen, right?
Therefore, Gu Yuye felt relieved to let other Taoist masters judge the authenticity.
Gu Yuye swore a vow to his inner demon, looked at Gu Fangchen, and said:
"Master Feiwei, is my sincerity enough to be considered trustworthy?"
Gu Fangchen's expression eased slightly after hearing this:
"That's more like it..."
"In terms of attainments in illusion, besides me, the Master of the 'Gong' Dao is the strongest. However, since I am acquainted with their ancestor, I should naturally avoid suspicion."
Gu Fangchen smiled and looked at the man in the iron hat who was standing silently beside him, wearing a straw raincoat from the Rusty Sword Tomb:
"In that case, then... I'll ask 'Lord Yubai' to be my witness. Do you have any objections?"
Everyone nodded. "Lord Yubai" was a solitary and eccentric person. He basically did not interact with other Taoist masters, and they had no friendship whatsoever.
It was most appropriate for him to come and bear witness.
I originally thought that "Feiwei" would choose the Taoist master "Gong" who was obviously closer to him, but he actually chose the "Yuebaigong" who was indifferent to everyone.
It seems that "Fei Wei" is indeed very confident and has a clear conscience!
When Gu Yuye heard that he had asked "The Foolish Lord" to notarize the documents, he felt relieved and secretly sighed that he had indeed been too suspicious...
It might be possible for others, but it is absolutely impossible for "The Foolish Duke"!
At the beginning, he personally contacted Wu Hui, the confidant of "The Defeatable Lord", to discuss how to directly assassinate Gu Fangchen.
Later, the "Death" Dao was also the absolute main force in hunting down Gu Fangchen.
Gu Fangchen and the Dao of Death have an irreconcilable blood feud, and it is absolutely impossible for the "Prodigal Lord" to help Gu Fangchen to cheat!
"The Defeated Duke": "..."
The empty face under the iron hat was very calm. He raised the sword in his hand and tapped it lightly.
“Click.”
In an instant, the realm of "death" suddenly unfolded. With the tip of his rusty sword as the center, the terrifying and chilling pure blood color spread out in all directions, quickly spreading to the entire secret room and enveloping both him and Gu Fangchen.
If an ordinary person saw this scene, their heart would stop in fear.
The Tao of "Yuebai Gong" is the death of all things, but not the end.
The way of "extinction" is the ultimate of everything.
The path of "death" is a process towards the ultimate.
Thousands of deaths constitute nirvana.
"Death" and "extinction" are inseparable, but at the same time, they are completely different, just like the difference between a point and a line.
Rust, decay, aging, withering... these are the ways of death.
However, practitioners are sometimes not afraid of a moment of destruction. The destroyed body can be reborn, but the aging of life is almost irreversible.
There are so few ways to increase your lifespan that even losing a little can be heartbreaking.
When encountering a "bad guy", the most frightening thing is not being beaten to death, but having your life shortened while you're being beaten...
What's more, this guy is full of poison, and it's disgusting to touch him.
Gu Fangchen actually understood that as a player, the most terrifying thing about fighting against "The Defeatable Lord" is that during the fight, the opponent will directly deduct your health limit!
Who can stand this?
After fighting for a long time without even scratching off a layer of the boss's blood, I turned around and found that he had been hit once, and his health bar was reduced to half. At the same time, he entered the poisoning state, and his health was deducted...
It can be called a drawing from hell!
When fighting against "The Defeatable Duke", the margin of error is too low.
But because of this, Gu Fangchen has almost developed muscle memory. As soon as Gua Gua Gong raises his hand, he knows whether the opponent wants to use a normal attack, a combo, or a feint, a sharp knife, a fast or slow knife, or a direct blow.
The current forward movement is obviously a feint.
There is not even any poison in this area. It is just that the color is scary and it is meant to scare people.
Expanding the Dao Domain is simply to create a private chat environment.
Gu Fangchen raised his head and said with a smile:
"This should be the first time you really see me, Xuanming?"
Xuanming is the real name of "Yubai Gong".
That is the "Yanshi" who controls this puppet behind the scenes.
Although "The Prodigal Lord" had expected this, his pupils still constricted when he heard the name, and he stared at the guy in front of him.
"So you mean to say this isn't the first time you've seen me?"
Gu Fangchen sighed:
"I've seen you many times, and I've killed you many times."
"Likewise... I have seen your daughter many times, and once thought I had found a way for her to survive."
Ever thought?
Then, there is no way out...
The "Lord of the Lost Kingdom" was silent for a moment, then said:
"You asked Duan Qicang to tell me the message—the one who tied the bell must untie it. What does that mean?"
His daughter is named Xuanling.
But the meaning of this sentence is more than just a name, the other party must know more!
Everyone in the world believed that it was not until a hundred years ago that the Heavenly Gate was opened by the white-haired man that the Heavenly Gate appeared in the world.
However, he didn't know that because of his past stupidity, his daughter Xuan Ling was actually the first person to come into contact with Tianmen!
After that, he tried every possible way to find a way to prolong his daughter's life.
The search has lasted for thousands of years until today.
Gu Fangchen said truthfully:
"If I could return to the original moment and close the cause and effect, Xuan Ling would be able to wake up... That's what I used to think."
The "Lord of the Lost" did not question how to return to the beginning. He heard the implication of his words and pondered:
"So now, you think this is the wrong approach?"
Gu Fangchen could only tell the truth and said:
"I have no idea."
If you choose the [Six Dusts Return to Truth] ending, then doing as described above will allow Xuan Ling to wake up.
But now, after further discovering Tianmen's last words, he had a feeling... If he did that, it might not be Xuanling who woke up.
Just like, the one who finally returns from the underworld may not be the player.
The "Lord of the Lost" was not angry at this. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief, shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"At least, you have ruled out a false possibility for me."
He could feel that what Gu Fangchen said was true, and he himself was also confused.
Gu Fangchen thought for a moment and said:
"Can I meet Xuan Ling?"
Not as a player, but as Gu Fangchen.
In the game, Xuan Ling is an uninvestigable object, and many details about her are not fully revealed to the players.
But with Gu Fangchen's current identity, he might be able to find the hidden clues.
The "Lord of the Lost" looked at him and said directly:
"You are still too weak."
Just like the inaccessible Tianmen, Xuan Ling is related to Tianmen. Getting close to her will cause mental confusion. One must at least reach the third rank of strength to do so.
Gu Fangchen blinked and said with a smile:
"I understand. As long as I have enough strength, we can meet."
"窳败公" is indeed what it means, but looking at this kid's fearless smile, I always feel a little inexplicably uncomfortable...
Forget it, it’s also to save my daughter.
This guy should have a talent similar to obtaining prophecies, and he knows much more than he imagined... Maybe, it is really possible to find a way to wake Ling'er up.
As long as there is a possibility, he will try it at all costs!
The short conversation ended.
"The Defeatable Lord" struck the rusty sword in his hand again, and the blood-red area instantly retracted and disappeared.
He nodded and said lightly:
"He is indeed a man of love."
Gu Yuye's last worry disappeared, and the rest of the Taoist masters also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they were sure that the power of the illusion just now was indeed superb, Gu Yuye's doubts made them nervous.
Fortunately, we can now confirm that their judgment was not wrong!
"Then, proceed according to the plan! Seven days from now, the dragon vein will appear!"
The "Six Star Gods" made the final decision and looked around. Everyone nodded and then disappeared from the spot one after another.
Leaving behind Gu Yuye said in a deep voice:
"I have several people under my command in Jiangnan who can cooperate with the noble families. When the rebels begin to cause unrest, we will gather them in the name of suppressing them."
Gu Fangchen smiled:
"In that case, Your Highness can go with me to the Dugu family in a few days."
…
Gu Fangchen walked out of the secret room and Guanyue greeted him at the door.
"Master, the guy who pretended to be you has been placed in your room as instructed."
She got into the role very quickly, calling him "Master" all the time, without any psychological barriers at all.
Gu Fangchen nodded:
"Take me there."
He followed Guanyue to the door of the room, told the latter to guard outside, and then pushed the door open and walked in.
As soon as I entered the door, the first thing I saw was Ying Liangxin who was tied up.
And the binding method is very familiar and obscene...
It really touched my heart.
“Woo woo woo!”
Ying Liangxin held the knot in her mouth and looked at him with horror.
Gu Fangchen smiled slightly and walked forward.
"Don't be afraid, I won't do anything."
…
at the same time.
Ning Caiyong and others' carriages finally arrived at the Dugu family residence in Gusu.
The news that the Prince of Zhenbei arrived in Gusu to investigate the truth of that year had already spread like wildfire. Jiangnan is the territory of the aristocratic families, so of course there are cultivators everywhere.
Many people who were on the list came to deliver their visiting cards.
