Chapter 182 I Take the Test Twice (Two in One)
Gu Fangchen concentrated on refining the "Golden Hairpin Pendant", but due to the medicinal properties, he looked particularly ferocious.
Although Ying Liangxin was a fake, he had been the master of the "love" sect for a hundred years.
At first, he was so confused that his thinking was a little slow, but he soon realized that his current condition was not very good.
She quickly realized that there was still a kind of "poison in Gu Fangchen's heart".
Considering the effects of the "heart poison" and the "golden hairpin pendant", it is clear that the two toxins must be conflicting with each other. The reason why Gu Fangchen did not lose his bestial nature is that he was trying to resolve the problem.
Ying Liangxin let out a breath, then his expression changed. He stared at Gu Fangchen with flashing eyes and quietly drew out his sword.
Since Gu Fangchen was able to escape from the secret room unscathed, it proved that he had completely established his identity as the master of the "Love" Dao.
And now, the only ones who know his true identity are the traitor Guanyue and myself!
She was a victim and also an insider. With her many years of experience surviving in the Demon Cult, Gu Fangchen might really show mercy, but the possibility of him showing mercy was low.
Might as well kill him now!
You should hold the sword tightly in your hand.
At this moment, Guanyue probably retreated voluntarily in order not to disturb Gu Fangchen's good deeds. If he didn't take action now, he would be dead soon.
But this guy is so scheming... Could it be that he's deliberately showing weakness, waiting for me to make a move, and then wake up and say it was just a trick, but he didn't expect some fools to actually fall for it...
Ying Liangxin felt that this possibility was quite high.
Gu Fangchen had just teased the five Dao masters together. It must be said that this guy was much more suitable to be the Dao master of the "Love" Dao than her.
She doesn't want to be a fool, but she doesn't want to die either...
But if she was going to die anyway, she could only die in battle, not die foolishly.
Ying Liangxin's face was gloomy and uncertain. He raised and put down the sword in his hand, and repeatedly tested Gu Fangchen. The last time, the sword was about to be chopped down, but in the end he failed to do it.
Gu Fangchen was fine, but she was extremely tired.
"Huff, huff, forget it... You can kill me or chop me up as you please, just give me a quick death!"
Ying Liangxin stared at Gu Fangchen, panting and raised his sword to point it at him.
The young man had returned to normal at this moment. His eyelashes moved, and then he opened his eyes and saw the tip of the sword in front of him.
He raised his eyebrows, followed the sword's blade, met Ying Liangxin's gaze, and then pretended to be confused and said:
"Why didn't you leave?"
He stretched out his hand and opened the door:
"I've even asked Guanyue to get the others out of the way. I've also prepared some luggage and money for you to spend, enough for you to live the free life you desire as an ordinary person."
Because of his life experience, Ying Liangxin was locked in the position of the master of the "Love" Dao for hundreds of years. In the original plot, he died as Shang Zizhi, without a good ending.
Players can only know her true identity and this little wish from the equipment and martial arts descriptions she drops.
A miserable bunch.
Gu Fangchen had no conflict of interest with her. After taking her identity, he would give her freedom.
Ying Liangxin: "..."
She turned her head stiffly and saw the empty doorway and a package on the ground.
Ying Liangxin took a deep breath. At this point, she couldn't say that it was because she was suspicious by nature and suspected that you were deceiving me by letting me go...
So I was stupid enough to stay where I was and failed to leave.
Her expression remained unchanged, she put on a calm face, raised her chin and said with disdain:
"Oh, how do you know what kind of mortal life I want?"
"I've given up my good status as a cultivator and have become associated with ordinary people. Isn't that just self-degradation?"
You know what, this little thing is quite intimidating.
However, Gu Fangchen, who knew Ying Liangxin's character, knew that this girl was just pretending. She was probably just struggling for a long time and couldn't do anything to her.
Gu Fangchen touched his chin and said with a smile:
"Then what do you want? Since you don't want to leave, there must be a reason for me to keep you. Otherwise, keeping you here will only create a hidden danger."
Ying Liangxin felt extremely regretful at this moment, and her intestines were regretting it so much... Damn it, why did I have to be so stubborn?
But the words were already out, so she could only bite the bullet and say:
"If you want to control the world of love, I can be your right-hand man. I'm more familiar with the process than you are."
Gu Fangchen nodded, and said with a smile:
"That makes some sense, but I use Guanyue because she's available. How can you guarantee your availability?"
Although Ying Liangxin is relatively harmless, since he wants to keep it, he will definitely not leave any hidden dangers.
Ying Liangxin pursed her lips, knowing that she had no choice but to swear an oath to her inner demons.
After going around in circles, she pushed herself to the "love" path again... and was tied to Gu Fangchen.
However, fortunately, I don’t have to continue playing the role of Taoist master in fear.
You should comfort yourself in your heart.
…
"In the next two days, you and Teruka will go to these places and set up the formations according to my instructions."
Gu Fangchen stood up, took out a prepared map, added the order of the Dao Master of "Love", and handed it to Guanyue.
The "Love" Dao has two guardians, "The Moon at the Bottom of the Well" is for observing the moon, and "The Flower in the Water" is for observing the flower.
Guanyue nodded and stepped back to leave.
Gu Fangchen pushed the door open and looked at the "heart poison" in his hand. Thinking of the feeling just now, he still felt a little aftertaste.
It took an hour to refine this "golden hairpin pendant", mainly because I was afraid of triggering the "heart poison", so I was extra careful.
In addition, that wisp of divine consciousness blended with the snow perfume milk to help detoxify.
It can even be said that most of the time, his attention was actually focused on detoxifying Xuexiang. Gu Fangchen had already woken up in the second half. If Ying Liangxin really wanted to take action, Guanyue would have come in the next second.
But I have to say, the experience of spiritual connection is really extraordinary...
In terms of feeling, it is better than physical pleasure. The body may have a threshold, but the mental pleasure can be increased to an unimaginable level.
This was when Xuexiang herself had no cultivation, so Gu Fangchen didn't dare to go too deep.
If it were any other Shinto cultivator, letting go and practicing dual cultivation, I can't imagine how exciting it would be...
However, refining the "Golden Hairpin Pendant" does not significantly improve "Magic Refining", and it is not possible to advance from the second level to the third level. Only the special effects are useful. If combined with the buff of [Night Watchman], it may have miraculous effects.
He looked at Ying Liangxin and said with a smile:
"Come with me to Dugu's house and talk to Dugu Yue."
…
Seven days later.
On the banks of the Jiangling River, in front of the Wenwu Pagoda.
A group of young practitioners gathered here, looking up at the fourth floor that was slowly lighting up with colorful light, and cheered.
Yao Mountain is located between Lutai Road and Gusu Road, where the waterways meet. There is a Wenwu Tower there. There are no restrictions. Anyone with lofty ambitions can enter and challenge themselves, demonstrating the Confucian principle of teaching without distinction.
Outside the academy, he continued to preach to the world.
As the name suggests, this Wenwu Tower is divided into two parts: one for the literary test and the other for the martial arts test.
It is divided into nine floors, and there is a preaching monument on each floor.
The preaching stele was engraved with the insights left by practitioners from the ninth to second ranks, and the top layer was a trace of Taoist rhyme from the "Confucian Sage" Xie Qian.
If there are people who are recognized by the academy, they can also add their own experience and insights.
This tower is comparable to the scripture library of a large family or sect, and its value is enormous.
It is far more attractive than placing some rare treasures!
No matter what realm of strength one is at, whether one is a martial arts practitioner or a Shinto practitioner, as long as one can pass the corresponding trials, one will definitely be able to improve one's strength.
Every year, there are practitioners who come here to seek fame and prove their strength.
However, no one has been able to touch that trace of Tao rhyme so far.
At this moment, there is a cultivator who has passed the test of the sixth level.
This level is already quite high, and maybe another name will be added to the Xiaotian list, so the people below are naturally happy to show their support.
However, the practitioners' attention was not entirely focused on the tower. There were also some whispers and gossips among the communicators.
"Alas, I heard there are uprisings everywhere. I'm afraid it's the work of the Demonic Cult!"
"Not necessarily. In some places, we really have to oppose..."
"Be careful with your words!"
"It's better to prepare early. Zhuang Pengju from Jiangnan has already taken down three of them. He's sweeping through the fields like a dragon and a tiger. Several immortal sects have already defected. He's coming with a fierce momentum!"
"Why panic? The imperial court has already sent the Northern Guard Prince to atone for his crimes and suppress the rebellion. With the intervention of the 'Military Saint', these so-called rebels are nothing but chickens and dogs."
"But I heard that a new dragon vein is about to form in Jiangnan. Could it be..."
"I can't say for sure! But the rebels are almost at the door, and there's no movement from the Dugu family. It feels a bit strange..."
"That's not necessarily true. Isn't that prince about to find out the truth of what happened back then? The Dugu family is busy helping him."
"Hey, stop talking, the pleasure boat is coming!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all topics were immediately ended.
Those young practitioners who were pretending to be serious immediately turned their heads and looked at the several pleasure boats floating on the river in the distance.
These pleasure boats are extremely luxurious with numerous pavilions and are all printed with the logos of aristocratic families. They are the young ladies of aristocratic families who come out to play and enjoy the scenery of Jiangling River.
It’s a pity that the daughter of a noble family cannot be seen easily. Both sides of the river bank are guarded by people from noble families. Without some connections, it is impossible to get close.
But the area around the Wenwu Tower is a little closer and not within the guarded range.
Many practitioners gathered under the Wenwu Tower to watch the fun and catch a glimpse of the beautiful daughter of a wealthy family.
I heard that this time, Princess Zhenbei was also on the pleasure boat.
She was the most beautiful woman in the world at that time!
It would be nice to see it for yourself.
But unfortunately, this place is still too far away, and I can only vaguely see the outline of a boat. The figures on it have become the size of sesame seeds, so how can I see them?
If one has the cultivation of the upper third level, he might be able to see clearly by looking far away.
Otherwise, there is a rumor that from the seventh floor of the Wenwu Tower, one can see the beauty on the pleasure boat.
However, this rumor has never been confirmed.
Suddenly, everyone's heart moved, their faces changed, and they all looked up and saw several figures floating rapidly in the air.
Immediately, someone's pupils constricted and he exclaimed:
"That's someone from the academy!"
"Aren't these the teachers from the academy? They're all fourth-rank cultivators... and they're all here in the Wenwu Tower. Could it be that some important figure is coming?"
The leader was You Shao, the teacher of Shimai. After landing, he bowed to the young man who had been standing in the corner looking up at the Wenwu Pagoda and said:
"Welcome, His Royal Highness. The academy has the audacity to invite you. It is truly an honor for you to be here."
You Shao smiled gently and politely.
Everyone was in an uproar, and only then they realized that the young man standing in the corner was handsome, wearing a white robe with silver Qilin patterns, and he looked very elegant and attractive.
The maid following behind him was wearing a veil. She had a pair of clear and elegant almond-shaped eyes, a slightly charming look at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, fair and delicate skin, and held a sword in her hand.
The combination of a handsome young man and a maid holding a sword is quite eye-catching.
However, the fan in Gu Fangchen's hand had a few ugly words on it, which really ruined the atmosphere.
For some reason, no one noticed the existence of these two people at all.
At this moment, when I heard the teacher calling him "Your Highness the Crown Prince", I realized that this was the popular Crown Prince of Zhenbei - Gu Fangchen.
Gu Fangchen waved his fan and laughed:
"You're welcome. Xie Sheng once invited me to join the academy as a teacher for fun. Who knows, maybe we could be colleagues in the future."
You Shao: “…”
There's no need to be so rude.
However, this time, they all came with a mission and did not engage in any verbal dispute with Gu Fangchen.
You Shao smiled and said:
"The prince has a literary temperament recognized by the saint himself, so being a teacher is naturally easy for him."
"However, the academy still has to go through the procedures. If an outsider wants to become a teacher, he must first pass the Wenwu Tower, at least the fifth floor."
"Of course, it's not that we don't believe in the Crown Prince's strength, but these guys have heard what the saint said before, which taught them that the sky is high and the earth is thick... It's inevitable that they are arrogant and unwilling to admit defeat."
"Your Highness might as well take this opportunity to teach them a lesson."
Gu Fangchen snapped his fan and said solemnly:
"That makes a lot of sense!"
"Whether I'm a teacher or not, what I hate most in my life are those who are ignorant of their own limitations. I need to let them know that geniuses aren't the only ones in the academy."
He waved his hand with great enthusiasm and said calmly:
"Tell them to watch carefully. Today, I will directly pass through this Wenwu Tower!"
After saying that, Gu Fangchen walked towards the Wenwu Tower.
Xuexiang behind him followed with small steps, holding a sword.
You Shao was stunned:
"Prince! Your maid is going with you too?"
Gu Fangchen raised his eyebrows and turned around and said:
"Isn't that possible? This prince thinks this sword is too heavy, so he has to let her follow him."
"this……"
You Shao didn't know if it would work, as there had never been such a precedent before.
Gu Fangchen waved his hand and said:
"This tower only lets you in after you've passed the test, so can't I just take the test twice?"
