Chapter 251: Imperial Master Returns the Handkerchief (Two in One)
Gu Fangchen stood in the void with his hands behind his back, overlooking the sea below.
The strong wind blew his long hair and robes, making them rustle.
In the middle of the sea, Sunaga was sitting cross-legged.
The sea water was spinning around her, forming a huge hollow vortex, revealing a huge dragon skeleton underneath.
The snow-white keel coiled on the seabed like a maze of bones.
And under the dragon bone is a huge sea abyss.
A faint red light flickered in the cracks, and the seabed around them was made of charcoal-like stones formed after the magma that had gushed out cooled.
From time to time, blood-red and shiny magma gushes out from this crack.
This sea abyss fissure is the shortest path to the underworld.
However, the two were not connected, but were sealed by the body of the real dragon. Otherwise, with the weak barrier between the two, the demons and monsters under the underworld would have invaded the world in large numbers long ago.
Now, Gu Fangchen, on the one hand, has to use the "soul-calling" formation to summon the real dragon's soul, which will become the backup energy for Sunaga to read the [Conch Book].
On the other hand, it is necessary to destroy the remains of the real dragon and completely open this passage.
However, he opened this passage not to help the evil spirits invade, but just to build a more stable channel to facilitate his next step.
Before this, if he wanted to go to Jiuyou, he had to rely on the altar left by the Blood God Cult.
But every time one altar was used, one less altar remained. When he summoned the ghost general Ruoye, he had already used up the power of almost all the altars. What remained were only some small altars, which were not enough.
What's more, those channels only last for a very short time.
What Gu Fangchen needs is none other than the largest passage, the Sea Abyss Rift.
At present, in each of the four directions of the vortex, there is a cultivator of the third rank, two mermaid elders, masters of the "destruction" way, and the witch clan leader Wu Tian, sitting cross-legged. And in the sea water around the vortex below, there are also countless mermaids working together to build a "soul-calling" formation.
With Gu Fangchen in command, it was naturally not difficult to set up the "soul-calling" formation.
Just to complete it completely, it will take at least three days.
Gu Fangchen's supervisory task was not heavy, so he just watched boredly for a while. Suddenly, something in his heart moved, he raised his head, and his face became serious.
He also had a vein of earth fused into his body, which was the dragon vein that had long been dormant.
Of course, generally speaking, this dragon vein that has been refined twice has completely become Gu Fangchen's own meridian. Unlike the dragon vein that Xiao Sheng forcibly carries on his body, it will not have any problems because of other dragon veins in the outside world.
But this time was different. The five dragon veins were about to converge, and that was no ordinary movement...
Even Gu Fangchen, who was far away overseas, felt something about it.
"According to the progress, including the time required to set up the formation, 'Eternal Unity' will only take about seven or eight days to complete... Actually, the time left for me is even less."
Gu Fangchen estimated in his mind that it would take at most four days to complete this "miracle" and then go to see Xuan Ling and Ying Baishou. This was pretty much what he expected.
He watched as the vortex below gradually stabilized, and complex and vast spiritual patterns of the formation emerged from the waves. Spiritual energy gradually gathered on the white bones of the true dragon, and from these bones, a phantom of flesh and blood was constructed...
These phantoms of flesh and blood, shrouded above the white bones, vaguely resembled a lifelike dragon, rising and falling rhythmically with the rotation of the swirling waves around it, as if it were breathing.
With each breath, the spiritual power further condensed, and the flesh and blood gradually became solid and rich.
And when this phantom of flesh and blood completely solidifies into the shape of a dragon, the "soul summoning" will be successful.
Gu Fangchen let out a breath and disappeared in a flash.
…
Xu Fu opened his eyes from meditation and saw Gu Fangchen jumping in through the window.
She glanced at the young man, sighed, and said lightly:
"I'm not forbidding you to come in, so why are you trying to sneak in through the window like a thief..."
Gu Fangchen patted the non-existent dust on his hands, chuckled, and then solemnly said:
"Master Imperial Master, I don't understand. This is more atmospheric."
Xu Fu was indeed a little confused:
"What atmosphere?"
Naturally, it is the atmosphere of a cool fairy stealing people...
Gu Fangchen immediately answered silently in his heart.
The master imperial teacher, who was always well-prepared, always liked to emphasize with an air of celestiality that she had never been controlled by the cricket's worldly desires, and that everything was within her plan and part of it.
But in fact, if she had seen what she looked like at that time, she probably wouldn't have said such self-deceiving words.
It started from the first time Xu Fu accidentally possessed Xuexiang's body, and was mistaken for Xuexiang by Gu Fangchen, who ordered him to help make lotus root starch soup.
Gu Fangchen discovered that this national teacher was different from the cold and aloof person that players imagined in the game, with no desires or demands.
On the contrary, she is truly gifted in this area.
But she couldn't see her own appearance and expression, so she could still continue to be stubborn.
If not for this, Gu Fangchen would not dare to tease her repeatedly, and even deliberately keep the aphrodisiac poison in Xuexiang's body, plotting against the Imperial Master.
Of course, it could be said that it was a perfect time, place and people.
Originally, Gu Fangchen just wanted to wait for the day when the Imperial Master would possess him again, and then activate the "golden hairpin pendant" on Xuexiang's body and do it slowly.
After all, the Grand Master was just possessing someone, not taking over their body.
If she felt something was wrong, she could immediately pull herself away and return to her body.
Gu Fangchen originally wanted to test the bottom line of the Imperial Master gradually, first by making contact with him by "accident", and then luring the Imperial Master to actively try to possess him when the poison took effect.
As a result, the "Six Star Gods" gave a good assist and actually trapped Xu Fu directly in Xuexiang's body.
Gu Fangchen naturally would not miss this opportunity.
From then on, the relationship between the two turned from secret to open. Gu Fangchen knew that Xu Fu could no longer pretend that nothing had happened. It just depended on when she would find an excuse for herself.
Naturally, after Xu Fu interpreted the meaning of the nine methods of preaching, Gu Fangchen roughly understood that this was the best "excuse".
Of course, Xu Fu will definitely continue to be stubborn. In her eyes, this is not an "excuse", but a way to fight against "Tao".
But Gu Fangchen knew that if she was allowed to use this "excuse" to escape again this time, she would probably have to continue to be the detached imperial teacher.
Therefore, Gu Fangchen would never let her deceive herself again.
He deliberately made Xu Fu's intentions clear that day in order to expose the truth behind this "excuse" so that he could move forward.
Gu Fangchen smiled but said nothing, but Xu Fu turned away when he looked at him:
"Is the Soul Summoning Formation ready?"
"Of course it's foolproof."
Gu Fangchen walked over, sat down beside the bed, and held Xu Fu's hand.
The Imperial Master looked at him with a cold face:
"Gu Fangchen, last time I did this, I just wanted to sever the cause and effect. I had no choice. Don't push your luck."
As he said this, he was about to move his hand away.
Gu Fangchen raised his eyebrows and sighed:
"Master Imperial Master, I came here to look for something."
Xu Fu was stunned:
"What is it?"
Gu Fangchen's gaze fell on the empty bed, and he said leisurely:
"It's a handkerchief."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fu's whole body stiffened, and he paused in his attempt to move his hand away, allowing Gu Fangchen to seize the opportunity and catch him red-handed.
She pursed her lips and struggled slightly, but it was obvious that she was not using enough strength and still fell into Gu Fangchen's clutches.
Gu Fangchen continued with a smile:
"I accidentally left a handkerchief here with the Imperial Master. I suddenly remembered it and wanted to come back to get it, but unexpectedly, it seemed to be gone..."
It is impossible for Gu Fangchen to be careless. Since he was well prepared and put the handkerchief away in advance, he would naturally not forget to take away the handkerchief with Yuanhong on it.
He just left it there on purpose, pretending to leave in a hurry, thinking that the Imperial Master would take it away.
Now, he came back again in a pretentious manner.
Capture all the national masters in one fell swoop.
He said deliberately:
"Master Imperial Master, could you please help me calculate where the handkerchief I lost is now?"
Xu Fu pursed his lips and looked stern:
"It's just a handkerchief. You have everything you want in this sea country now. Don't you think you need such an ordinary handkerchief? Why are you looking for it..."
Gu Fangchen shook his head, looked at Xu Fu, and said with a smile:
"That's not an ordinary handkerchief. To me, it's one of the most precious things."
Xu Fu's face turned cold:
"Do you know what the most is?"
Gu Fangchen nodded:
"Life, mother, the world is at peace, nothing can be lost, nature is the most important."
Xu Fu was stunned when he heard this, and then said:
"You cunning, treacherous little thief... This 'peace in the world' is my destiny, how could it ever be your most precious thing?"
Judging from the temperament of this little thief, he is clearly afraid that the world will not be in chaos.
But "peace in the world" happened to come true for him. What his master said was right, fate is indeed unpredictable.
Gu Fangchen blinked and said:
"Then for Master Imperial Master, isn't your destiny me?"
"If this isn't my most precious thing, then it is your most precious thing."
Xu Fu was almost confused by him, but when he heard this sentence, he almost laughed out of anger.
After all the twists and turns, this little thief just wanted to make himself known that he was his most precious thing... How childish!
She deliberately kept a cold face and said:
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"
Gu Fangchen smiled and said:
"It is naturally His Majesty's pleasure to fulfill the Imperial Master's decree... However, could His Majesty help me find my things?"
"Throw it away."
Xu said negatively and expressionlessly:
"A handkerchief. I thought you didn't want it, so I threw it into the sea. Now you can't find it anymore."
Gu Fangchen sighed helplessly:
"All right."
"But in this case, even close couples have to settle accounts clearly."
Who is your husband and wife?
Xu Fu was stunned. She had not expected Gu Fangchen to be so bold and shameless. She opened her mouth without thinking. She felt ashamed and her face became even colder.
She was about to refute, but she heard Gu Fangchen say confidently:
"Since you lost one of my handkerchiefs, my Lord Imperial Master, you should return one to me, right?"
Xu Fu turned his head to look at him, and when he met the latter's smiling eyes, he knew what bad plan this little thief was up to again.
But what Gu Fangchen said was indeed true...
If she said now that it was not lost, Gu Fangchen would definitely dig deep and ask where the handkerchief had gone.
Then can she say it?
Is she, the dignified "Saint of Life" and Imperial Master, going to say that she was possessed by some inexplicable evil spirit that day and had a strange feeling in her heart, so she took the handkerchief containing her Yuanhong and put it away?
But Xu Fu just said that he just wanted to sever the cause and effect and had no other intentions.
If he admitted that he had taken Yuan Hong now, wouldn't that be a disguised admission that he had fallen in love with Gu Fangchen?
In his heart, Xu Fu had actually admitted this, but he was just competing with Gu Fangchen and didn't want to let this little thief succeed.
She nodded and said:
"It's just a handkerchief. I'll return it to you."
As Xu Fu said this, he was about to get up and ask the tailor shop in Haiguo for one.
But Gu Fangchen immediately grabbed her, pressed her down on the bed, and deliberately asked doubtfully:
"Hey, where is the Imperial Master going?"
Xu Fu was stunned:
"To buy a handkerchief, of course."
Gu Fangchen shook his head and said:
"I've already taken the handkerchief."
He flipped his palm and took out a white handkerchief, which he spread on the bed very easily.
Xu Fu was confused:
"Since you already have it, why bother..."
Gu Fangchen's face was serious, and he said with certainty:
"If it were just an ordinary white handkerchief, it would naturally be everywhere. How could it be called precious?"
"What I want the Imperial Master to return is that exact same handkerchief."
Xu Fu was stunned for a moment, then took another look at the handkerchief on the bed. He immediately understood what Gu Fangchen wanted to do, and his cold expression could no longer be maintained.
She laughed in anger:
"Shameless little thief! How can you be exactly the same?"
Can this kind of thing happen exactly the same again?
Gu Fangchen was well prepared. He took out a pill, looked at the cold and elegant nun in front of him with a smile, and leaned over to whisper something.
Xu Fu pursed his lips, his expression becoming even more uneasy, and a bit ashamed and angry.
This shameless little thief is really prepared for anything!
Just waiting for her to fall into the trap!
And...it's so fancy!
She once thought that Gu Fangchen deliberately dressed up the little maid to look like himself, which was already lewd enough, but the means he used on her were a thousand times more lewd!
But when Gu Fangchen saw that she didn't say anything, he played with the pill in his hand and said:
"Could it be that the Imperial Master is going to go back on his word? He promised to return my handkerchief, and now he's not going to return it?"
Xu Fu was in a dilemma. He suddenly realized that he had been tricked by Gu Fangchen and had been led into a ditch...
However, it was too late to realize it now.
She couldn't let go of her dignity as the imperial teacher, and at this moment, it became a shackle that she had to compromise with.
In the end, the cold and elegant nun could only respond with silence, filled with shame and anger.
Gu Fangchen smiled. This meant that the Imperial Master had acquiesced.
…
Jiange.
Ning Songjun had just seen his father off. He stared at the sword in his hand and was about to pack up and go down the mountain to help Xiao Yinghao.
Now that the world is in chaos, Jiange naturally has to find a place to stand.
However, the next moment, he suddenly saw a woman in a green dress floating out from the huge sword mark between the mountains.
