Chapter 244: Inside and Outside the Door (Two in One)
Theoretically, Prajna Lianyue shouldn't come to find Gu Fangchen at this time.
The "Dragon Trapping Formation" has not been completed yet, so they just need to stay put and act out their disguised identities for a while according to their original life trajectories.
When appropriate, you can also use some smoke bombs to further attract the attention of Sunaga and other mermaids.
Let them focus on the ships entering the port that day, and buy time for the "annihilation" Taoists and the witch clan who are setting up the nodes of the large formation.
Prajna Lianyue and Yier also disguised themselves as female mermaids working in the Shipping Department, but their status was not as high as Mingluo, whom Gu Fangchen replaced.
Of course, the identity that the "Four-phase Lord" originally arranged for herself was another priestess affiliated with the "Tide Hall".
The so-called "Tide Hall" is an organization composed of priests who communicate with the [Conch Book]. The entire operation of the Sea Kingdom is controlled by the "Tide Hall".
As a priest, he is basically the center of power, and his status is naturally much higher than that of Ming Luo and others.
But that is based on the premise that the "Four Phases Lord of Tribulation" himself is strong enough to act on his own and is not afraid of being exposed.
Yi'er has no cultivation, so letting her go to the "Tide Hall" to pretend to be a priest is like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth, isn't that?
Although even if something happens, the "Four-phase Lord of Tribulation" will probably wake up on his own, it will cause chaos at that time, which will be very detrimental to their plans.
Therefore, Yi'er's final identity was also an ordinary mermaid in a shipping company.
Staying with Prajna Lianyue makes it easier for her to move around, and Prajna Lianyue can also take care of her.
Prajna Lianyue had already known about the relationship between Yi'er and Gu Fangchen, and even eavesdropped on them all night, but because of her identity as the "Four-phase Tribulation Lord" and the fact that she had not yet adapted to Gu Fangchen's change of identity, she always felt strange in her heart.
After all, as a saint of the Tara religion, she had dealt with the "Four-phased Calamity Lord" several times. The image of this "destruction" master has always been that of a mysterious, cold-blooded madman who is decisive in killing.
The person whose temperament is most similar to hers is "The Prodigal Prince".
In Prajna Lianyue's heart, she always assumed that the leader of the "Mie" Dao should be a very gloomy and tough guy.
Now that the vest has been removed, it is discovered that she is actually a shy little girl.
Then he was having an affair with his beloved father. Wouldn't the leader of the evil sect, whom he had fought against before, become his stepmother?
This is all a mess...
Prajna Lianyue read the storybook and felt it was ridiculous, but when she thought about it again, the changes in the relationships around her were even more ridiculous than the storybook.
The more she thought about it, the more strange it seemed, and subconsciously she felt something was amiss, so she couldn't help but focus all her attention on Yi'er.
Since she had nothing to do now, she began to think about Yi'er's experience.
Gu Fangchen once told her that Yier's real identity was the daughter of Lu Ping, the swordsman who had lived with Ying Baishou.
The sword servant followed Ying Baishou to the Heavenly Gate and witnessed Ying Baishou opening the Heavenly Gate with his own eyes. After that, he changed his identity, became a winemaker, married and had a daughter, but eventually went insane and died.
According to the later fate of Shenxiu and the Galan Temple, "going crazy" was the price of looking directly at the Heavenly Gate.
Seems reasonable.
However, according to the swordsmith Zhou Deqing, Lu Ping did not actually look directly at the Heavenly Gate at that time. After Ying Baishou opened the Heavenly Gate, he fainted directly.
After being in a coma for seven full days, he finally saw the last words next to Ying Baishou's body.
By that time, Ying Baishou should have already sealed the Tianmen.
As a sword servant, no one could understand the Sword Master's thoughts better than him. After discovering that Ying Baishou used his body to seal the Heavenly Gate, he should have understood that Ying Baishou did not want future generations to see the scene behind the Heavenly Gate.
The Sword Servant will not go against the Sword Master's wishes.
So theoretically, Lu Ping didn't actually see Tianmen at that time. He just saw the corpse and the suicide note.
If so, why did Lu Ping suddenly go insane and die a few years later?
If the reason for his madness wasn't at the time of the Heavenly Gate opening, then we can only look for it in his later life and the people around him...
When Prajna Lianyue thought of this, she also thought of the "Four-phase Tribulation Lord"'s dual soul syndrome.
Judging from the time when the "Extinction" Dao appeared, the "Four Phases Lord of Disaster" was almost born with knowledge of it, and from the very beginning, he clearly pursued the path of "Extinction".
Prajna Lianyue, as a second-grade practitioner, is also one of the few practitioners standing at the top of this world.
She knew clearly what price she had to pay to achieve this power.
The important thing is that "Tao" will not appear out of thin air.
One's own "Tao" is one's own ideas and thoughts, which are formed gradually.
But for the "Four Phases Lord of Disaster", this process does not seem to exist.
It seemed as if she was born to destroy this world, but such a situation is impossible no matter what, unless she is the reincarnation of a person with past wisdom.
"The reasonless 'Tao', the reasonless dual souls in one body..."
In that instant, Prajna Lotus Moon felt that there must be some connection between them.
More importantly, although the "destruction" of the "Four-phase Tribulation Lord" is powerful and terrifying, it is still within the scope of their understanding.
This "Tao" does not have the power to drive people crazy like the Heavenly Gate.
Otherwise, why would the "Four-phase Lord of Tribulation" seek cooperation from the Demon Sect? He could have destroyed the whole world in one fell swoop with his own "destruction" method long ago.
"If... it wasn't the Dao of Destruction, and it wasn't the Four-Phase Tribulation Master, then the only thing that could drive Lu Ping insane and die would be—"
"Yi'er!"
In an instant, Prajna Lianyue's pupils constricted while she was lost in thought, and she restrained her gaze, forcing herself not to look at Yi'er who was looking around curiously beside the dock.
The sky had already darkened. As members of the shipping department, their duty was to check the condition of the ship after unloading to see if there was any damage.
In fact, it's just a trivial job and it can be done in one go.
Prajna Lianyue took a deep breath, looked at the slightly swaying boat in front of her, slowed down her pace, and then a hint of green appeared in her pupils, followed by a blooming golden lotus.
She remained calm and made hand gestures.
In his eyes, countless red lines flashed by in an instant.
She used the cause and effect magic, but did not consider Yi'er. If there really was something wrong with Yi'er, then the cause and effect magic would definitely alert the enemy.
What Prajna Lianyue was calculating at this moment was Cui Xiu's cause and effect.
When Cui Xiu used his own true fire to self-destruct, Gu Fangchen asked her doubtfully whether she had sensed the whereabouts of his soul.
Because Gu Fangchen sensed that when Cui Xiu was on the verge of death, he must have escaped by separating a part of his soul.
After all, this guy is full of greed, how could he so easily give up everything he has run and choose to commit suicide?
Naturally, it is a deception and an attempt to escape.
However, at that time, Gu Fangchen could not find the whereabouts of Cui Xiu's soul.
Prajna Lianyue also looked for it, but couldn't sense anything.
At that time, Gu Fangchen thought that Cui Xiu was in a hurry and could not control the force of his self-explosion. After all, his soul was gone, so there was no need to waste time any longer and he did not investigate further.
But Prajna Lianyue knew clearly how predictable Gu Fangchen was.
From the very beginning, when she truly got to know Gu Fangchen and met him for the first time, it was because this well-known good-for-nothing playboy suddenly predicted that she would secretly come to the White Horse Temple.
It was for this reason that Prajna Lianyue asked Gu Fangchen to come and meet her in person, which led to the subsequent disputes.
Prajna Lianyue was deeply impressed by this.
Even though Gu Fangchen himself thought that it was Cui Xiu's momentary mistake, Prajna Lianyue felt that the matter was not simple.
Because when Gu Fangchen came to ask him, he looked obviously surprised.
This shows that Cui Xiu's escape was what Gu Fangchen believed was bound to happen.
At that time, Prajna Lianyue was on guard.
At this moment, she had some doubts...she suspected that the disappearance of Cui Xiu's soul at that time was also related to Yi'er.
She recalled the direction in which the innate true fire fled, and she felt something was wrong. After all, if she looked at it from Cui Xiu's perspective, among so many people present at the time, only Yi'er had no cultivation. If he wanted to run, he would definitely run towards Yi'er.
But, he didn't make it in the end...
The red lines of cause and effect in Prajna Lianyue's eyes intertwined and tangled, condensing into a small flame.
"laugh……"
The flame was pinched by the slender white fingers that stretched out, and instantly turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared into the air.
The smoke dissipated, revealing the laughing face of a young girl behind him.
There was a smile on that gentle and pretty face, but there was no smile in the eyes, which only reflected the raging fire.
"What's wrong, Sister Lianyue? Is there anything strange about this ship?"
Yi'er's voice came from the side. Prajna Lianyue turned around and saw the girl looking at her curiously with her head tilted. She took a deep breath, put down the seal she was pinching, and said calmly:
"Nothing... I'm just a little worried about the node arrangement of the formation. I'll go find Gu Fangchen to discuss it later."
Yi'er tilted her head, thought for a moment, nodded, and smiled:
"I understand. By the way, Sister Lianyue..."
She took out an oil-paper bag from her pocket.
"This is a snack I just bought on the road. It seems to be unique to mermaids and has never been seen outside. Please bring it to my lord for me."
Prajna Lianyue took a look at the oil-paper bag and found that it was indeed the one she had just watched the other party buy, so there should be no problem with it.
He reached out and took it, saying:
"Okay, I'll definitely bring it to you."
After inspecting the remaining ships, Prajna Lianyue hid her breath and figure and headed to where Gu Fangchen was.
Yier stood on the dock and waved with a smile.
Then, she turned her head and looked at the ship where Prajna Lianyue had just stopped, stretched out her hand, and gently stroked the hull.
"Oh no, I've been discovered..."
…
Prajna Lianyue had a serious expression on her face as she landed in the courtyard of Gu Fangchen's mansion and hurried towards the room.
She came for Yi'er.
There is something fishy about Yi'er's identity!
Although Yi'er doesn't seem to have done anything bad now, judging from the fact that Lu Ping, her biological father, went insane and died tragically for no reason, this situation may be uncontrollable.
It's like the gate of heaven.
Just by existing, it must be sealed.
If Gu Fangchen didn't know about this, who knows what the consequences would be.
She had to inform Gu Fangchen of Yi'er's situation so that he could make preparations and plans early...
Prajna Lianyue had the authority to use the formation set up by Gu Fangchen, and she walked hurriedly to the bedroom door without much effort. However, she suddenly stopped, her face froze, and her whole body seemed to be petrified.
In the bedroom where Gu Fangchen was supposed to be alone, two voices were heard.
Moreover, the sound was very unusual, far beyond Prajna Lianyue's cognition!
She was stunned at first, and then her pupils constricted and trembled, revealing an incredible expression.
The voices coming from inside the door were not just Gu Fangchen's.
There is also Xu Fu!
But unlike the previous "Fate Saint" National Master of the Great Wei, who had the unshakable and cold demeanor of a fairy in the Han Palace, there was a bit of uncontrollable trembling in Xu Fu's voice at this moment, especially the ending tone, which was even very soft and seductive.
"You... bastard! Didn't we agree that you, you have to listen to me? How dare you go against my will... go against me, you little thief!"
Then came Gu Fangchen's voice with a hint of smile.
"I did listen to the Imperial Master, not the Imperial Master. It wasn't me who told me not to rush..."
It was obvious that he was deliberately trying to anger the Grand Master.
If it were a serious time, anyone who dared to misinterpret and bully the Grand Master would have been struck by lightning, and all the luck in this life would have been taken away, turning him into a poor loser.
But at this moment, Xu Fu felt that his mind was a mess, and he was dazed and allowed himself to be manipulated. Only a trace of instinct kept him maintaining the dignity and respect of a national teacher.
She leaned against the door and recalled the day when she hid in the closet and Xuexiang and she went back and forth over and over again.
Xu Fu bit his lips, and a strand of hair went into his mouth.
At this moment, she suddenly felt the sound of someone landing outside the door, and then she felt the breath of a familiar person getting closer and closer, and at an extremely fast speed.
Her pupils constricted, her whole body shuddered, and she quickly said:
"Stop, stop...someone's coming!"
If this scene were discovered by others, wouldn't her reputation as the Imperial Master be completely lost?
Xu Fu turned around and anxiously punched Gu Fangchen a few times, but unfortunately his whole body was limp at this time, and his third-grade body didn't even have the strength, it seemed more like he was just acting coquettishly.
"hiss--"
Gu Fangchen took a breath.
Prajna Lianyue's whole body was stiff as she watched the door in front of her bang a few times. She was about to knock on the door, but now she didn't know whether to let go or fall.
At this moment, she wished she were really blind...
…
At the same time, under the seabed within the range of the Sea Country's [Conch Book] barrier, the arrangement of the "Dragon Trapping Formation" nodes is also being carried out in full swing.
