Chapter 262: Stupid Master and Smart Disciple (Two in One)
Gu Fangchen had some doubts about the cause of death of "Military Genius" Li Kan.
Because his history did not come to an abrupt end like the history of the "Honglu Era". His life and death were both recorded in the "Tomb of the Military Immortal".
In other words, he should not have died suddenly for some reason along with the "Honglu Great World". He was killed in a normal way with a beginning and an end.
Gu Fangchen was also curious about who killed this "Military Immortal" who was known for his brutality, so that his inheritance fell to Gu Yuye, which led to the development of a series of subsequent plots.
Unexpectedly, it was the Grandmother.
Although the Grandmother only revealed murderous intent at this moment, with her strength, it was basically a close call.
But Li Kan is not an easy person to deal with either.
As a close minister of the Human Emperor, this guy might have already noticed Xiao Zhenwu's thoughts and plans in advance, so he simply went with the flow and used the ancestor's milk to arrange his own "fake death".
Wait until some time in the future, and then resurrect again...
And the unlucky guy who was chosen later was obviously Gu Yuye.
Gu Fangchen looked at the Grandmother. He was more curious about another question at this moment:
"Why did you kill him?"
The Grandmother withdrew her gaze, made a sword flower, and used her chin to signal him to look at the sword in her hand, and said unhappily:
"fool!"
"He cultivates 'Hundred Weapons', and I cultivate 'Sword'. It's not just me, but anyone who practices using weapons in the world wants to kill them as soon as possible."
Gu Fangchen nodded suddenly.
Indeed, what Li Kan mastered was the art of "a hundred weapons", so all practitioners who used weapons were naturally inferior to him.
You are the God who controls the sword, but he is the God who controls weapons.
If I don't kill him, wouldn't my own "Tao" be inferior to his "Tao"?
This is definitely a dispute over the orthodox doctrine, no wonder it is a fight to the death!
Gu Fangchen thought of this, touched his chin, and frowned again when he thought of Li Kan's performance in front of Ning Caiyong.
Ning Caiyong also used a sword.
Why was Li Kan like a chicken or a dog in front of her, without the slightest power to resist...
Moreover, the great way of "sword" has been confirmed in the Grandmaster.
In other words, what Ning Caiyong practiced was not swordsmanship at least - even though her swordsmanship was also superb and reached the pinnacle.
At the same time, Ning Caiyong's cultivation is far higher than Li Kan's, and he also said that he is not of the first rank.
Then, her cultivation should be at least on par with Xiao Zhenwu, also known as the "Master Hengchang", a True Immortal of the Infinite Realm.
Gu Fangchen thought of this, looked up at Shi Qingguang, and asked:
"Disciple, since you are setting up an arena to challenge sword cultivators from all over the world, you should be familiar with all the famous sword cultivators in the entire Ancient Dynasty, right?"
Shi Qingguang put away the sword in his hand and nodded his head:
"Of course."
She jumped down from the sword furnace and immediately guessed what Gu Fangchen was thinking:
"Stupid Master, are you looking for someone?"
Gu Fangchen nodded:
"Smart disciple, you understand it immediately."
Shi Qingguang became curious: "Who are you looking for?"
"That person is called Ning Caiyong. She is a beautiful woman with a high level of cultivation."
"That's all?"
Gu Fangchen raised his eyebrows:
"Isn't this enough? How many people in this world can meet the last two requirements?"
Shi Qingguang was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully and realized that it did make sense.
This information seems broad, but in fact its scope is very narrow.
A woman who could make Gu Fangchen feel that she had a high level of cultivation must at least be a "sage", but there were only a handful of "sages" in the world today.
They are all well-known people.
Shi Qingguang didn't think that Gu Fangchen didn't know about this, so he probably wanted to try his luck and ask if there was any sword cultivator who lived in seclusion.
But unfortunately, Shi Qingguang just shook his head:
"I've never heard of that name."
Gu Fangchen sighed inwardly.
When he arrived in the southwest and met the Grandmother, he actually had some premonitions in his heart.
But when I really heard the news, I still felt a little disappointed.
Could it be that he entered the wrong time point through the coordinates of the "Heavenly Gate"?
After all, Ning Caiyong only said that they would meet in Honglu, but he never said the specific time and place of the meeting.
Even he didn't know how long the "Honglu Great Era" would last, so it was naturally impossible for him to just wait like this.
"but……"
Gu Fangchen thought to himself:
"If my mother is at least on the same level as 'Daoist Master Heng Chang', then it's impossible for her not to have considered this."
"The trace of karma left with Xuan Ling is the key that 'Daoist Master Heng Chang' deliberately left behind. The time he asked me to arrive must be the most critical moment."
"Since I'm here, I must be able to see her."
Gu Fangchen took a deep breath and said:
"Since you want to kill Li Kan, I will go to the Imperial City with you once the issues in the southwest are resolved..."
He joked:
"Now that I'm your master, I have to support you, right?"
Today, the imperial city of the Shigu Dynasty is called the "Human Emperor City", generally referred to as the Imperial City.
Shi Qingguang looked at him and didn't think that this guy really wanted to support him. He asked so many questions just now, and it was obvious that he was looking for that "beautiful female swordsman".
I don’t know if it’s his lover or someone else... Anyway, with this attitude, it’s definitely impossible for her to be his mother.
It’s really frivolous!
It’s right to keep him around for transformation!
The girl snorted:
"Stupid Master, I'm the best swordsman in the world, but I still need your support. How can I still be called the best in the world?"
Gu Fangchen glanced at her:
"Then, wise disciple, please support me, your master."
He lowered his eyes and sighed, revealing a complex and heavy expression.
"Master, I was badly hurt by Li Kan in the past..."
When Shi Qingguang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then asked curiously:
"Master, do you still have a grudge against Li Kan?"
Gu Fangchen nodded with a sad expression, as if he couldn't bear to look back on the past.
Although he was very pretentious, Shi Qingguang looked calm and composed. In fact, he was still young and was very curious about these gossips. His eyes brightened a little.
"Oh well……"
Shi Qingguang stood on tiptoe in a pretentious manner, patted Gu Fangchen on the shoulder, and said with a serious expression on his face:
"Stupid Master, if you have any grudges, tell your disciple. When we meet Li Kan, I will avenge you together."
Gu Fangchen felt amused and hummed:
"I was born in a distant country called Dawei..."
Then, he narrated his past experiences, adding some embellishments to the story of how Li Kan induced and controlled Gu Yuye, causing his family to be broken up.
The focus was on Li Kan's role in the incident, and all the bad things that Gu Yunye did were blamed on Li Kan.
Shi Qingguang was listening intently beside him, pursing his lips, his eyes dimmed for a moment, and he gripped the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand, not even noticing that the joints on his hands were turning white.
Seeing her like this, Gu Fangchen knew that his guess was correct——
Shi Qingguang wanted to kill Li Kan not only because of the dispute over Taoist orthodoxy.
When she drew her sword just now, there was not only murderous intent in her eyes, but also a fleeting hint of hatred.
Shi Qingguang appeared suddenly, and even De Yuanzi, who had information all over the world, didn't know her origins and past, not even a clue.
Even if Shi Qingguang popped out of a stone, Sun Wukong still has his registered residence in the Flower-Fruit Mountain in the Aolai Kingdom of the Dongsheng Continent. It is impossible that she was born and raised there.
The talent for sword may be innate, but the swordsmanship is very different between being taught by someone and being taught by no one.
Gu Fangchen could clearly feel that although her swordsmanship had reached the level of an antelope hanging by a horn, it was the kind that someone taught her.
In other words, her swordsmanship is inherited.
Then, she must have a background and family.
But none of these could be found.
Based on Li Kan's style and deeds, Gu Fangchen speculated that she might be a survivor of the city-state that was massacred by Li Kan.
Now I come to find Li Kan just to take real revenge.
Therefore, Gu Fangchen deliberately said that he and Li Kan had a grudge and exaggerated his past experiences, which really aroused Shi Qingguang's instant resonance.
"My clever disciple, what do you think? Master, do I have a great grudge against Li Kan? Should I kill him?"
Gu Fangchen looked serious.
He was not lying in essence. He and Li Kan did have a life-and-death feud, but it was not the Li Kan at the moment, but the Li Kan in the future.
Shi Qingguang was unaware of Gu Fangchen's narrative trick, and secretly clenched his fists. He nodded calmly and said coldly:
"He really deserves to be killed!"
Her heart was shaken. She had originally wondered how she could have practiced the same sword-making technique as such a frivolous guy, but now, because of their similar experiences, she felt infinite sympathy for him.
It turns out that he and I not only share the same ideals, but also the same aspirations...
With such similar experiences, the country was destroyed and the family was ruined, how could this guy really be as frivolous and unreliable as he appears?
This deep blood feud must have been hidden under the appearance of laughter and endured.
"Master Stupid, don't worry, I will definitely support you."
The girl said solemnly.
Gu Fangchen was very pleased:
"That would be great."
In this harmonious atmosphere between master and disciple, Gu Fangchen suddenly looked around:
"By the way, my clever disciple, I would like to learn from you the art of sword-making. Will I live here with you for the time being?"
Shi Qingguang nodded immediately without thinking too much.
Normally, it would take at least several days to forge a sword and set up a furnace. But Gu Fangchen only took a few hours. One reason was that the sword he forged was of low quality, only top-grade, and the other was that he was so skilled that he could compress the time into such a short time.
The sword forged by Shi Qingguang is at least a rare item, the same as the one used as a wind chime.
With the sword furnace, they have to stay here for at least a few days, so it is naturally impossible for Gu Fangchen to live somewhere else.
This mini Jiange is just a small building on the mountain. It is small and exquisite, but the space is not large.
Gu Fangchen turned his head and looked at the bed behind the gauze curtain, pretending to hesitate and said:
"But it seems there is no place here for me, Master."
Shi Qingguang looked towards his bedroom, his face suddenly flushed. He was about to scold this stupid master, but then he pursed his lips and shook his head:
"I usually only forge swords here. You can stay in my room."
This change in attitude was not because she had changed her personality, but because she had just seen the sadness and gloom in Gu Fangchen's eyes in a flash.
She immediately thought of Gu Fangchen's words and the experience he had just described, and also of the time when she was homeless.
The girl couldn't bear it anymore.
He was a wandering cultivator, just like me, wandering around alone. He was forced to hide from place to place by Li Kan, without even a place to stay...
It's just a room anyway, so there's nothing wrong with giving it to him.
She could just concentrate on studying the art of sword-making...
Little did he know that when Gu Fangchen walked into the girl's boudoir, he looked around and smelled the faint fragrance of the girl at the tip of his nose, but his eyes were filled with a deep smile.
Letting a man into her own private area is a concession that is a crucial signal.
From now on, it is simply impossible to draw a clear line.
Although Grandmother Zushi seems to be very defensive, she is actually very easy to deceive... In this respect, she is exactly the same as the Slowpoke-like spirit that was chasing her.
Gu Fangchen touched his chin and looked strange.
Or maybe he had misunderstood at first, and it wasn't because of her loss of consciousness that the Grandmother looked stupid.
Instead, it was because she lost her superficial vigilance and disguise that the Grandmother revealed her true character?
Hmm...it seems like this possibility is very high!
Gu Fangchen seemed to be thinking about something.
…
In the next few days.
Gu Fangchen stayed in this sword pavilion temporarily. During the day, he taught the master how to forge swords. At night, he met with De Yuanzi to pay attention to the progress of the struggle for the destiny "Tao Seed" in the southwest.
"Senior, this destiny 'Dao Seed' actually attracted the top three on the Heavenly Ranking to appear together. It's really thanks to me, an old Taoist, that I was cautious and spent two days carefully investigating it."
De Yuanzi said with some lingering fear:
"The second-grade cultivators who are fighting for this position are all at about the same level as me, an old Taoist, but they have become mantises in the eyes of others."
He sighed and said regretfully:
"This time I've probably come here for nothing."
The old Taoist priest looked at Gu Fangchen and rubbed his hands flatteringly, saying:
"By the way, Senior, do you not like the accommodation I arranged before? Otherwise, I will find a better one..."
He said so much, but he was not complaining. In fact, he was hinting to Gu Fangchen to help.
Gu Fangchen shook his head:
"I have a place to live."
De Yuanzi was stunned: "Where?"
Gu Fangchen said:
"Jiangge."
De Yuanzi: “???”
De Yuanzi was shocked by the fact that Gu Fangchen now lived in Jiange. After he finally digested it, the look in his eyes when he looked at the latter changed, becoming one of admiration between men.
In his opinion, although Gu Fangchen's strength is stronger than his, he is definitely not as strong as the "enlightened one".
There is no doubt about the strength of the female sword fairy, and she is definitely stronger than Gu Fangchen.
It is impossible that Gu Fangchen defeated the female sword fairy and made the latter treat him with courtesy. It can only be that he played to his strengths and was favored by the female sword fairy.
"Just continue to wait patiently and pay close attention. I'll take a look at the situation."
Gu Fangchen sent De Yuanzi away and returned to the Sword Pavilion, only to see an old man in a purple robe floating above the Sword Pavilion, emitting the aura of a first-class master.
"The one who has attained enlightenment"!
Moreover, he comes with bad intentions!
