Chapter 204: The Furnace of Heaven and Earth Has No Dao (Two in One)
Gu Fangchen stretched out his hand but grabbed nothing, his pupils constricted, and the series of complex information that Ning Caiyong had just transmitted when their foreheads touched each other emerged in his mind.
The sounds were deafening, chaotic and blurry, like the sound of heaven, striking at his soul.
Interspersed among them were a few words spoken by unknown people, crazy laughter, ambitious wishes, desperate cries and shouts, and the sound of reading aloud.
"Hahahahahaha, the constellations in the universe are all spread out, the furnace of heaven and earth is inherently without the Way, the vast and mighty ones who have attained the Way are actually serving as dowries for flies and insects..."
"As the Emperor of Man, I shall usher in eternal peace and prosperity. From this day forward, I will establish the Yin and Yang realms for reincarnation. No longer will the living be condemned to eternal damnation, but will be able to live one life, three lives, and even ten thousand lives. This is the constant."
"Why? Why? Everything I've spent my whole life seeking, is all in vain?! It's fake! It's all fake! I don't believe it! I don't believe it!!!"
"Can the Tao be learned? In the past, there were nine people who taught the Tao. Their names were Fu Mo, Luo Song, Zhan Ming, Nie Xu, Xu Yi, Yu Ou, Xuan Ming, Can Liao, and Yi Shi..."
At the same time, a series of unfamiliar images flashed by.
Endless mountains and rivers turned upside down before his eyes, the sun and the moon were side by side, the stars were wrapped in it, and a thousand-foot crack appeared in the void, which was densely packed with eyes.
The gazes cast by these eyes turned into strands of golden silk threads, hanging down to the earth, like a curtain covering the sky.
And the people on the earth, like ants, caught the silk threads with their hands and were ecstatic.
When Gu Fangchen was startled and subconsciously looked towards those eyes.
As if they had noticed his gaze, the densely packed eyes in the cracks all turned and looked at him.
"boom!"
Gu Fangchen suddenly felt a terrible pain in his soul, as if someone had split him in half and then torn him apart and rubbed him for fun.
The images and sounds in my ears faded away, but the pain continued.
"Damn it, I knew it..."
He was trembling all over, gritting his teeth, and his face turned extremely pale. He immediately descended, hoping that he could land smoothly.
But it was obviously too late. His soul could no longer bear such severe pain. His eyes went dark and he fell headfirst.
Before he completely lost consciousness, he felt a familiar cool fragrance coming towards him, and then fell into a soft and warm embrace.
…
When Gu Fangchen woke up again, he saw unfamiliar curtains and drapes.
He blinked and subconsciously analyzed from the style and decoration of the curtains that he should be in the residence of a county governor in Xiajing Road.
If we want to know which county magistrate it was...we should provide evidence from other angles.
For example, before he fell into a coma, which county was he near...
However, although the location is unknown, the time is clear.
He looked up and saw that there were only three days left for the Night Watchman job.
In other words, he should have been in a coma for at least seven days.
Gu Fangchen could still vaguely feel the lingering headache, and his mind was extremely weak... but fortunately it was only weakness. After a little feeling, he even unexpectedly discovered that his cultivation had improved a lot.
If he directly reached the late sixth grade, and if he could also use the visualization method of the Way of Destiny, he should be able to be directly promoted to the fifth grade.
However, considering the damage that Gu Fangchen suffered to his soul at that time, there shouldn't be only these minor sequelae.
In other words, during the time he was unconscious, there must have been a Shinto monk with extremely high cultivation who helped him maintain his soul.
Who is this person? It's so hard to guess.
The injuries to his soul are not as serious as those to his body.
At that time, the "charcoal seller" who had fought three consecutive battles took a blow from the "God of War". Although he was rescued, he suffered serious damage from overdraft.
Gu Fangchen moved his body and found his arm heavy. He turned his head and saw Xuexiang sleeping on his arm.
The little maid was soundly sleeping. Looking at her heartless and innocent look, it was obvious that she couldn't be the Imperial Master.
That signature cold aroma is gone too.
"When I passed out, the Imperial Master must have finally unlocked the 'Soul-Locking Formation' and returned to his original form."
Gu Fangchen thought that it was impossible for the Imperial Master to guard him for seven whole days. Since he had unlocked the Soul-Locking Formation, he must have gone to seek revenge on the "Six Star Gods".
Xiangxue was awakened by his actions. She woke up in a daze, raised her head and met Gu Fangchen's gaze, and subconsciously said:
"Your Highness..."
Then he reacted, his eyes widened, and he jumped up immediately:
"His Royal Highness has woken up!"
She quickly helped Gu Fangchen sit up, picked up the tea that had been prepared long ago, and moistened the throat of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
This tea probably contains some rare treasures, and drinking it will make your spiritual power more active.
Gu Fangchen was helped by Xuexiang to put on his clothes. He stood up and stretched himself for a while. He took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice:
"What happened during the days I was in a coma?"
Xuexiang told the whole story in detail.
After Gu Fangchen fell unconscious, it was the Imperial Master who caught him and then left the battlefield and handed him over to Qing Jian and others.
——When Xuexiang and the Imperial Master passed out one after another that night, she already knew why she was always dizzy and didn't know what was going on.
The ghost soldiers of the Xuanhuang Army were no longer under Gu Fangchen's control, but because of the constraints of the military formation, they did not cause chaos, but just waited silently in place.
However, to outsiders who are not aware of the situation, this scene, coupled with the devastating battlefield, can easily be misunderstood as them dying here and turning into evil spirits wandering around the place due to their resentment.
Qing Jian could see the connection between these ghost soldiers and Gu Fangchen, but he didn't know how to deal with them, so he could only use his identity as Xiyin attendant to summon the followers of the Tara sect here to surround and control the battlefield.
They lied that a salvation ceremony was being performed and outsiders were not allowed to approach.
The biggest problem is that the entire Xuanhuang Army has been basically destroyed, and there is no one guarding the three roads in Shuobei.
However, there is still a part of the Xuanhuang Army stationed in the original place.
What's more, there is Ding Xingfeng. When he handed over the "Shuangquan Method", he really regarded Gu Fangchen as his disciple. He immediately contacted his old subordinates who had become county magistrates, as well as some of his subordinates who were dispersed that year, and took the initiative to show up and take over Jinlin City.
Ding Xingfeng's official return to the world naturally caused quite a stir. Many people immediately suspected that he might want to take advantage of Gu Yuye's death to control the border and become the second Gu Yuye.
Dante Xingfeng directly took out the imperial edict and the tiger talisman to prove that this was actually the will of Emperor Yong'an.
Once Gu Yuye rebels, Ding Xingfeng can directly replace him and lead his former subordinates, and all the military power and the status of "Marquis of Yizhou" will be returned.
At the end of the celebration banquet, Emperor Yong'an kept Ding Xingfeng to reminisce about the past and returned some of his old belongings to him.
What he was talking about was actually this tiger talisman.
The situation was temporarily stabilized. At the same time, in order to treat Gu Fangchen, several people temporarily lived in the county magistrate's mansion.
Until now, Gu Fangchen woke up.
"call……"
He let out a sigh.
It's still a mess, but at least nothing serious has happened.
However, this situation is completely unexpected...
Gu Fangchen raised his hand and rubbed his temple, feeling overwhelmed. The lingering feeling of something being wrong that he had felt in his heart since he had finished the six endings had finally come true.
I'm afraid there is more information that has not been revealed in "Mirror in the Dust".
Xuexiang looked at Gu Fangchen's gloomy face and finally asked the question that had puzzled her for seven days:
"Your Highness...where is the princess? I asked the young princess, and she told me to ask you, Your Highness. I also asked the Imperial Preceptor, and he said she didn't know either. What does this mean?"
You ask me, who should I ask...
Let me go to "Honglu" to see you again, but where is "Honglu"?
You can't be talking about that mysterious gaming company, right?
Gu Fangchen still had a bunch of questions in his mind that needed to be sorted out. He pondered:
"It's too dangerous to follow me. I asked my mother to go back to Jiange for shelter. She has been picked up by someone sent by my uncle."
Now, I can only use this excuse for the time being.
Jiange probably knows something... and should agree with his statement.
Otherwise, if a living person disappeared out of thin air, people who didn't know would think that he had killed the King of Zhenbei first, and then did something extremely treasonous...
What he said is very reasonable.
Xuexiang suddenly understood and nodded.
Indeed, it is too dangerous for the princess, a mortal with no cultivation, to always follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into danger.
But the princess is so stubborn that only His Royal Highness can persuade her.
It’s better to be like this now, otherwise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would probably be worried.
Gu Fangchen said again:
"How has Gu Lianxian been these past few days?"
He guessed that Gu Lianxian probably also witnessed the scene of Ning Caiyong's sword turning into a long rainbow, and therefore found it difficult to accept.
Gu Fangchen was stunned with shock. The shock to Gu Lianxian was probably as great as when she first discovered Gu Yuye's true face.
However, Xuexiang said:
"The little princess was a little sad and confused. She lost her appetite for the first few days, but she soon went to help the people settle down."
Gu Fangchen was stunned and frowned:
"Didn't she lock herself up?"
Judging from Gu Lianxian's performance, after receiving such a shock, she must have locked herself up for a few days and questioned her life.
Xuexiang shook her head:
"No."
Gu Fangchen recalled Juehui’s formatted behavior that day in Huangtian City, and his heart sank.
Gu Lianxian's reaction is so small now, probably like Juehui, some of her memories have been deleted.
Gu Fangchen let out a sigh:
"Okay, I understand."
Afterwards, Gu Fangchen went to visit the owner of the mansion where he was temporarily staying, who was also the county magistrate.
Because he knew Gu Fangchen's identity, the county magistrate was very polite and expressed his gratitude. If it weren't for Gu Fangchen digging Ding Xingfeng out again, they would probably never see General Ding again in their lives.
This county magistrate used to be a subordinate of Ding Xingfeng. Later, as the county magistrate of Xiajing Road, he has also been working hard to make construction in recent years.
In terms of public security, the local area is considered to be very good in this border area.
Fortunately, this place is on the edge of the desert sea and was not affected too much.
Afterwards, Gu Fangchen went to the outskirts of the battlefield again, found Qing Jian, and used the "Yunshen Bottle" to collect all the ghost soldiers of the Xuanhuang Army.
The effect of the "Soul-Yunning Bottle" is equivalent to that of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. Naturally, it can not only refine, but also store souls.
Although the number is large, the "Yunshen Bottle" as a divine artifact can still barely fit them.
What's more, Gu Fangchen also obtained the souls of many people from the Demon Sect from Qing Jian, and also raised the level of the "Shen Yun Bottle".
Gu Fangchen put away the "Spirit Bottle" and turned to look at Qing Jian. Suddenly he exclaimed:
"Have you already taken the 'Jade Refining Pill'?"
This elixir was already refined on the way to Jiangnan and handed over to Qing Jian.
However, something happened afterwards, so Qing Jian naturally had no time to take the pill.
But during these seven days, she was free and naturally had time to refine the elixir.
Qing Jian still wrapped himself in the black robe out of habit. He raised his head when he heard that and hummed uncomfortably.
"have eaten."
"How's the effect? Let me see."
Gu Fangchen's eyes lit up and he reached out to lift Qing Jian's hood.
In the game, players who have completed the Qing Jian side quest are very much looking forward to seeing what this Xiyin waiter looks like.
However, in the end, Qing Jian was buried in the sea of fire along with Prajna Lianyue, and the players' hopes were dashed.
Gu Fangchen was naturally looking forward to this.
Qing Jian subconsciously wanted to dodge, but stopped abruptly the next moment. She pursed her lips and waited stiffly and nervously there. She felt Gu Fangchen lift the hood of the cloak she had worn for so many years and untie the bandages wrapped around her face.
The delicate and sensitive skin was exposed, and when blown by the wind and sand from the desert sea, it turned a light pink and looked like a rosy glow.
The beauty with golden lotus pupils has a face as delicate as peach blossoms, and a pair of watery peach blossom eyes with a bit of charm.
This was in stark contrast to the coldness and silence she had displayed before.
Qing Jian felt that the skin on her face was no longer covered, and she immediately closed her eyes like a frightened deer, suppressing the shame in her heart. For her, every inch of her skin had been wrapped in bandages over the years, and it had long become a habit.
She would only remove the bandage when she was alone.
Now that his face was fully visible, he felt as shameful as if he had been stripped naked, and as nervous as if he was awaiting trial.
Gu Fangchen gently stroked her cheek with his fingers, which caused her to shudder.
Qing Jian bit her lips and held back the moan from her throat.
Gu Fangchen pinched her chubby cheeks and said with a smile:
"Such a beautiful face! It seems my 'Jade Refining Pill' is really worth the money."
Her eyelashes trembled and she opened her eyes:
"Is it good-looking?"
Gu Fangchen's eyes reflected her appearance and he nodded seriously:
"nice!"
Qing Jian heaved a sigh of relief, and then heard Gu Fangchen say in a deep voice:
"You continue to guard Mohai for the next few days. I'll go take a look at the 'Warrior Immortal's Tomb' underground."
[The Tomb of the Immortal of War] will disappear in the game before the player finds it.
But now, it still exists.
Among them, there must be a lot of information that has never been shown to players.
