Chapter 198 You Are the One Who Should Escape (Two in One)
Gu Fangchen didn't know much about the [Military Immortal's Tomb].
After all, this thing is also one of the unsolved mysteries in the game.
Even after passing the Confucian line and going back to the past, no trace of the so-called "Military God" can be found. It feels like a legend made up out of thin air.
But Gu Yuye's rise proves that this "Military Genius" not only exists, but is also very powerful.
Even a tiny bit of inheritance can turn an unknown person into the powerful King of Zhenbei.
Gu Yuye will indeed die in the [Military Tomb of the Immortal Warrior] line, but he is not killed by the player. Instead, he suddenly dies for no reason while escaping.
Players cannot find his body, and there is no subsequent plot, but if they use some divination and causal methods to calculate, they will find that Gu Yuye is dead.
This is the only ending that can confirm that Gu Yuye is completely dead.
But at the same time, it is also the most confusing ending.
However, Gu Fangchen was still clear about what happened between the time Gu Yuye ran to the [Museum of the Immortal of War] and the time he escaped into Qingman and suddenly died.
Gu Yuye will obtain a new military formation in the [Military Immortal's Tomb].
The so-called military formation is essentially a dynamic formation derived from the four words "large numbers mean great strength". Generally, the formation has fixed nodes and centers, and is supported by materials.
The military formation, supported by the hearts and momentum of the people, is concentrated on one person, amplified and evolved, and can be endowed with various magical powers.
At the same time, opening the military formation can strengthen the strength of the soldiers and complete the battlefield deployment through command without any delay.
This is completely positive feedback and a truly righteous approach.
However, the military formation that Gu Yuye obtained this time was a truly evil and demonic method with no bottom line.
This military formation is more like a large-scale star-sucking technique than a military formation.
Its fundamental purpose is to allow the army leader to drain the cultivation, vitality and soul of everyone else in the army formation, thereby forcing a breakthrough.
It can be seen that the inventor of this military formation not only has a very good understanding of military formations, but is also not a human being at all.
In order for a military formation to take shape, soldiers need to actively open their minds, devote their own life fire into it, and connect with the military leader out of complete and firm trust in the commander.
As for Gu Yuye, he is completely inhuman.
The army that had been built up over the years, out of their absolute support for him, rushed to the desert at his command even though the imperial court had declared him a traitor.
But their expectations were doomed to be dashed.
Gu Yuye would not lead them back to Huangtian City, raise the flag, and chop off the head of that unjust and incompetent monarch.
Instead, he wanted to transform them into his own cultivators right here in the desert sea...
Once Gu Yuye reaches the end of his life, his selfish character will be fully exposed, and it will become more extreme in the later stages.
Just like in the original plot, he would turn Gu Lianxian into his own nourishment.
In his opinion, he has trained his daughter/subordinates for so many years, and now that he needs them, they should contribute to him. This is a natural thing.
In short, Gu Yuye gathered the Xuanhuang Army here in order to kill them and then drain them dry.
What Gu Fangchen has to do is even simpler.
He would wait for the moment when Gu Yuye killed these people, and then activate the "Blood God Altar" covering the entire desert sea, intercept Gu Yuye, and sacrifice the Xuanhuang Army in advance!
And the moment it is turned on is the moment when the profession of Night Watchman plays its final role.
Gu Fangchen is going to use the [Yanwang Post] to seize the entire Xuanhuang Army and truly kill Gu Yuye.
…
Gu Fangchen walked into the ruins along the passage, holding a torch he had picked up from the ground, illuminating the ancient Qingman-style murals around him.
With his current level of eyesight, no matter what, he would not be unable to see the road.
He held the torch not to pretend to be a tomb robber, but to provide light for the Imperial Master beside him.
Xu Fu looked at him with complicated eyes and said:
"You speak the Qingman language, and you know about the remains of the Blood God Cult."
Gu Fangchen knew that the Imperial Master would definitely be suspicious of his identity. Although he had made outstanding achievements in fighting against the Demon Cult before, the above two items were still too niche.
Any Wei person, unless he is a specialized intelligence officer, would not deliberately learn the Qingman language.
What's more, this is the spell used to open the ruins of the "Blood God Cult".
After all...his identity will always be a mystery to others.
Although, it was the same for him.
Gu Fangchen turned his head, smiled and said:
"I once said, Master Imperial Master, that I have not only met you, but I have also had long conversations with you all night long. This has never been a lie."
In the past, he was afraid that his fake identity would be exposed, so he had to use excuses everywhere, but now, he has enough strength - at least he will not be killed by someone just because of his unknown identity.
Now that things have come to this, he can finally tell the truth.
Xu Fu narrowed his eyes:
"You saw these ruins in the same way and learned the Qingman language?"
Or...his extraordinary abilities, such as his omniscience, were all acquired in this way.
She thought of Gu Fangchen's fate, which was impossible to predict.
Her original guess was that Gu Fangchen might be able to use some kind of causal magic to freely travel between the possibilities of fate, and through deduction, he obtained a part of other people's fate.
But at that time, she subconsciously denied this conjecture, because if that was the case, she could not have failed to notice that someone was plucking the causal strings of her own destiny.
That was a very scary thing.
If someone could do this quietly and intercept the fate of any of them at will, it would mean that they would have no secrets at all in Gu Fangchen's eyes.
For such a person, his cultivation must have reached the first level, or even higher!
Although Gu Fangchen's performance at that time surprised Xu Fu in many ways, he did not look like a person with first-grade strength, otherwise why would he need to use the title of National Master to pretend.
But now, during these few days of spending time together, she vaguely sensed a hint of confusion in Gu Fangchen.
This slight confusion made Xu Fu feel that his original guess was correct.
Gu Fangchen had indeed experienced what she suspected, but it might not have been his initiative, but rather his inaction...
Gu Fangchen nodded, looked up at the ancient mural, was silent for a long time, and suddenly murmured:
"Master Imperial Master, who do you think I am?"
Xu Fu frowned, not understanding why Gu Fangchen asked this question.
She had calculated Gu Fangchen's origins before. His future was unpredictable, but his past was clear... He was the dandy prince of the Zhenbei Palace.
Xu Fu suddenly stopped.
No, is it really clear?
At first, she only confirmed what happened to Gu Fangchen after the substitution, but as for how Gu Fangchen was arranged by the Demon Cult to enter the palace to replace Gu Yuandao, she was unable to figure out the result at that time because the "Six Star Lords"' fortune-telling technique concealed it.
As for the groom, although Gu Fangchen lied about finding the eye that the Thousand-Eyed Armor had inserted, he did find the groom's home and the real groom's son who was thrown into the well.
This proves that Gu Fangchen is not the groom's son, and his origins are still unclear.
Now that the art of destiny has been broken, she can sort out the cause and effect and find out the truth of that year.
But now she is trapped in Xuexiang's body and cannot use the magic of cause and effect.
Otherwise, perhaps it would be able to answer Gu Fangchen's question at the moment...
Xu Fu's eyelashes trembled and he said:
"Once I return to my body, I will naturally know your true identity, little thief."
Gu Fangchen turned around, blinked, and said:
"It's so hard to get a divination from the Grand Master of the State. If you don't tell the truth for the people of the world, why would you treat a despicable little thief like me like that?"
Xu Fu said calmly:
"You little thief who stole the nation's destiny with one move, and almost killed all the people in the world in your hands. I also want to know who you are."
Gu Fangchen glanced at her, then suddenly came over and said:
"Don't you want to know who your first man was?"
Xu Fu: “…”
She looked at the despicable guy in front of her, and said coldly with some embarrassment:
"This is your little maid's body, not mine. Besides, she was the one who woke up and detoxified herself. It has nothing to do with me."
After saying that, he walked past Gu Fangchen quickly with a cold face.
Gu Fangchen actually wanted to say one more thing: the one who said harsh words when she was unconscious and could only beg for mercy in the end, was it also Xuexiang?
But the Imperial Master is thin-skinned and can't stand being teased.
If he says a few more words, I'm afraid he will be made to suffer in the future, or even cursed, making him a loser from then on.
He just shook his head and followed him.
After a while.
Gu Fangchen looked at the Grand Master who was panting and trying to hold on, and coughed dryly:
"This relic is indeed quite large..."
Xu Fu took a deep breath, feeling something strange in his body, and his face became even colder.
This relic is indeed large, but not to this extent... What is more important is the pill that was stuffed into the wound. It melted and moved as she walked, and it was also cool.
This little thief must have done it on purpose!
Gu Fangchen always creates opportunities for himself when he doesn't have any. He immediately stepped forward and embraced the Grand Master, kneading his little hand and whispering:
"Why don't I carry you on my back? No one else can see us now, so why bother putting on airs, Imperial Master?"
Looking at the situation, he looks like a yellow-haired guy trying to coax a drunk and innocent high school student.
Xu Fu hesitated for a moment, and subconsciously followed his train of thought.
There was really no need to act so pretentious. No matter how embarrassing her appearance was, this guy had already seen it... Besides, it was Gu Fangchen who caused her to be like this now.
At this time, the National Master did not realize that Gu Fangchen's words had already regarded the two people as "his own people" and the others as "others".
Seeing that she pursed her lips and said nothing, Gu Fangchen immediately took advantage of the situation and half-knelt down, motioning the Imperial Master to lie on his back, urging:
"Master Imperial Master, time waits for no one. The materials we will need later have already been obtained by others."
Xu Fuxin said, "What are you afraid of? Even if all the cultivators combined, they can't beat you."
At this moment, she should clearly expose Gu Fangchen's lies without saying a word and draw a clear line between them.
But she still took two steps forward as if possessed, put her arms around Gu Fangchen's neck, and was carried deeper into the cave by him.
…
The Imperial Master soon discovered that he had been fooled.
Gu Fangchen held her legs with both hands, and they bounced up and down when she walked, which was very uncomfortable.
"Huh? Master Imperial Master, the medicine has all dissolved. Please replace it with a new one."
"You...you said time waits for no one."
"Then Master Imperial Master, you must hurry up... This is also to prevent the poison from taking effect at the critical moment. It's always a good idea to remove some of it in advance."
…
Just as the Demon Cult surrounded Mo Hai and was searching frantically for the whereabouts of Gu Fangchen and Xu Fu.
At the border of Xiajing Road, groups of people are quietly gathering.
These people were the majority of the Xuanhuang Army originally stationed in three areas of Shuobei.
After receiving Gu Yuye's secret order, the Xuanhuang Army split.
Under the cover of yellow sand, they rushed from Jinlin City, the border, and several fortresses. After several days, they finally converged at Xiajing Road, ready to enter the Mohai to pick up Gu Yuye.
at the same time.
A black horse carriage stopped in front of an inn on the edge of the desert sea in Xiajing Road. Ning Caiyong, dressed in low-key clothes and wearing a veil hat, was helped down from the carriage by Gu Lianxian.
Xu Zhenguan, who was driving, waited beside him with a sword in his hand.
Ning Caiyong was originally advised not to come, but she was really worried, so she followed anyway.
Their group also included Ding Xingfeng, Gu Fangchen's two servants, and Qing Jian.
But as soon as they arrived at Xiajing Road, they received the message left by Gu Fangchen.
——Among the Xiajing Road, there were also subordinates left by Ding Xingfeng. He ordered them with the token of "Marquis of Yizhou" to wait early. When they arrived, they knew that Gu Fangchen was not in danger of life.
Afterwards, Ding Xingfeng and his old subordinates disappeared, while the two servants and Qing Jian followed the instructions and went to several other [Blood God Altars].
Prepare to activate the sacrificial formation.
…
The people of the "righteous" path soon discovered the blood-red light column rising into the sky and sent people to investigate.
After interrogating the people from the Spirit Snake Cave, it was immediately confirmed that Cheng Tai was impersonated by Gu Fangchen!
And Xu Fu must be with him!
The people from the Demon Cult immediately surrounded the entire ruins. Although it took some effort, they still managed to break the outer formation.
Ten days later, with a loud bang, the gate of the ruins was forced open.
"Gu Fangchen, ah Gu Fangchen, I wonder where you can escape to!"
The "charcoal seller" floated in the air with a sneer, looking at the ruins below with a grim gaze.
He was certain that Gu Fangchen was seriously injured at the moment, so he tried every means to hide in the ruins, but he did not expect that the ruins would cause such a big noise, completely exposing his position.
Behind him, there was a black mass of people who were all members of the Demon Sect, including the elites of the "Destruction" and "Death" sects. The natives of the desert sea could only tremble in fear beside them.
I guarantee that Gu Fangchen won’t be able to escape even if he has wings!
"Who said I was going to run away?"
A familiar voice sounded below, and the "charcoal seller's" pupils constricted as he saw a young man in black clothes slowly walking out of the ruins.
Gu Fangchen raised his head, showing a brilliant smile, and said with a smile:
"I'm afraid it's you who should be running away!"
