Chapter 171: Subtle Influence, the Power of Immortals

It rains a lot in autumn.

The gloomy sky was covered with dark clouds, the sky was filled with heavy vapor.

The group of four continued to move forward on the dim road.

"Since the White Lotus leader disappeared, the White Lotus sect has almost completely collapsed. Some time ago, even the last base camp was lost. Although there are still some people left, it is difficult for them to achieve anything big."

Wang Mang was describing the situation in Yuzhou. "Some time ago, at the border between Yuzhou and Yangzhou, people and the Huang Tian army crossed the river. Yangzhou may no longer be able to defend itself. The four-nation coalition army has many soldiers and generals, and there are several masters waiting in the military formation. The deterrent effect is very obvious.

Huang Chao once wrote a letter to the White Lotus Sect Leader, but the White Lotus Sect Leader was no longer in the sect at that time. It was Wanrong who received the letter. He invited the White Lotus Sect Leader to join him in shocking the four countries. In my opinion, he was completely forced into a corner and was just dreaming. "

When one country faces four countries, it has absolutely no advantage in any aspect, even in the number of masters.

The masters of the four countries did not take action simply because there was no need to do so.

These are only the Grandmasters who came to the battlefield to supervise the army, not including the Grandmasters who are protecting the country in the palace - even if there are Grandmasters who want to take risks and suppress them with force, it is impossible!

The Grandmaster disaster is not something that can be easily brought about. There must be a sufficient number of Grandmasters to form an effective deterrent.

The number of Grandmasters in each country today is totally insufficient to support another Grandmaster disaster.

What's more, the formation of the Grandmaster's Disaster also has historical reasons. At that time, various countries frequently invaded each other, and the battles often lasted for decades. Countless people were implicated in the wars and suffered great hatred.

Under the national martial spirit, the masters of various countries who were numerous naturally remembered the hatred, which eventually led to the master disaster that lasted for hundreds of years - many masters did not want to be emperors, but just wanted revenge.

In short, I can choose not to be the master, but if you are the master, it depends on whether I do it or not! The current situation, whether it is external factors or internal quality, is completely unable to meet the conditions at that time. How can the disaster of the master come so easily? If that were the case, the martial artists in the folk would have been extinct long ago!

After all, the Grandmaster has the ability to make blood splatter within five steps, but he does not have the ability to sweep the world.

The royal family has its own masters who have been trained since childhood to protect the country. Even in Dayue, who is now at the end of his rope, there were still two masters staying in the palace! "Don't stir up the trouble of the masters. I will deal with them one by one."

Gu Danran had heard about the troubles of the Grandmaster, and that was why he waited until he became the Grandmaster before he was willing to come out of seclusion.

He didn't come here to fight or discuss with others, he came here to overturn the table! The White Lotus Sect, the Yellow Sky Army, the Great Yue Royal Family, and the Four-Nation Alliance... all had to be dealt with together.

Since we are in Yuzhou, let’s start by dealing with the White Lotus Sect.

His words were plain and confident, as if he was talking about something very simple, which made the White Lotus Saint Xu Wanrong couldn't help but look sideways in surprise.

This Brother Gu, who was highly respected by Wang Mang, seemed to be different from his peaceful and quiet appearance!

It is true that the Grandmaster has pride, but when facing an opponent of the same level, how can he just defeat him? Even Mo Qiu, who is now at the peak of his fame, has to lead the Mohists to defend the city honestly? Huang Chao, who is so cruel that he kills people without hesitation, only dares to threaten with the Grandmaster's disaster.

"After seeing the immortal relics of the White Lotus Sect, you will first gather the members of the White Lotus Sect together and prevent them from causing trouble everywhere. Are there any obstacles?" Gu Dan asked.

"If you are not afraid of the White Lotus Sect Leader, then no."

Wang Mang said immediately.

"Well, then go ahead and do it. If the White Lotus Sect Leader dares to show up, I will deal with it."

Gu Dan nodded and finalized the plan in a few words. "Calming the people, restoring order, and building homes are the top priorities. You can go ahead and do them. You don't have to worry about the rest."

"The people of the court"

Xu Wanrong asked hesitantly.

"After I meet up with Brother Mo, I will go to the palace." Gu Dan said.

The reason why I didn't deal with the Dayue royal family first was simply because I hadn't met Brother Mo yet - the people of this world have become accustomed to having a backbone, that is, the emperor at the top.

Now, judging from fame and reputation, the candidate must be Mo Qiu.

It would be most appropriate only after Mo Qiu is willing to become emperor and then eliminate the Dayue royal family. Otherwise, if the Dayue royal family is destroyed first and the country is without a ruler, Gu Dan has every reason to believe that several "emperors" can pop up in one village.

This has nothing to do with strength, it only has to do with people's hearts.

No matter how rotten Dayue is, the residual power left after more than two hundred years of operation can still maintain a minimum deterrent in the remote countryside - the country is still there, so don't be an ordinary person and think about becoming an emperor.

It's not that the Otsuki royal family cannot be eliminated, but simply clearing out the Otsuki royal family when new candidates have not yet come to power will only lead to worse results.

He came to quell the war and did not want to play the role of a hero in troubled times. Safeguarding everything was the most important thing.

There is already enough suffering in this world, and it should be resolved as quickly as possible.

After a few people talked to each other, they finally reached the bank of Yuanhe River.

The continuous rain has caused the source river to rise a lot. The river is running fast, stirring up turbid waves.

I'm afraid that few people know that at the bottom of the source river, covered by undercurrents, there is a path leading to the ruins of immortals!

"Just down here in the river."

Standing on the bank of Yuan River, Wang Mang said seriously.

"good!"

Without any unnecessary nonsense, a white barrier of true energy enveloped everyone.

"I'm blocking the river, you just need to show the way." said Gu Dan.

Although the water flow this time was much more intense than the last time, the lineup was also incomparable. It was much more convenient, and there was no risk of suffocation, and even the clothes did not need to get wet again.

The turbid darkness and the water pressure deep in the stream were no longer a problem. With two traitors who had infiltrated the highest levels, the White Lotus' home was robbed without them noticing.

He opened up the underground river covered by mud and sand again, and using his true Qi to crush it all the way, it didn't take much time before he arrived at the place where the White Lotus inheritance was hidden.

This is an underground cave. It is unknown how long it has existed. It must have been created by the power of heaven and earth.

But what is really worthy of attention is not this cave, but what is hidden here.

"Brother Gu, I will let Wanrong pay attention. If you behave in any strange way, Wanrong will recite the White Lotus Heart Sutra." Wang Mang knew how terrible that irresistible feeling was. Even though he had reminded her several times, he still felt a lingering fear when the time came.

"I see."

Gu Dan did not go to watch immediately. He first made sure the surroundings were safe, and then waited for everyone to come up before he slowly turned around.

He saw it.

At the end of the cave, there is a statue that seems to be connected to the sky and the earth! Even with the eyesight of a grandmaster, there is still no time to peek into the details of the statue. A special Taoist aura surges in with the sight!

However, compared with the vast and boundless Dao energy that Master Ji displayed when he tried to break through to the innate realm, this Dao energy was much weaker. At least it did not make him completely lose his mind.

It was like a big net covering his mind. If the last time the net was so tight that he couldn't tell it apart, then this net that surrounded him now was tattered and could be felt by him.

The essence of Tao gathered, and countless emotions that did not belong to him were forcibly added. Along with the birth of that emotion, the true Qi in the body was also induced and began to wash over his muscles, bones, blood and flesh.

"Is this to impact the qi and blood obstruction?"

Gu Dan was immersed in the ocean of spirit and didn't care about his expression at this moment, otherwise his expression would have looked strange.

I was not mistaken, the true energy was really constantly washing my muscles, bones, blood and flesh.

That Taoist aura seemed to have no real consciousness, and could not discern that he had reached the level of a grandmaster. This step was already useless, and he was still completing the given orders step by step.

And in this kind of erosion, the Taoist essence was also decaying at a continuous rate.

As expected, when the Dao essence completely dissipated, either the impact would be successful in clearing the Qi and blood barrier, or the person would die directly.

Gu Dan silently experienced this feeling. It was not the circulation of true energy in his body, but he was trying to control the Tao essence with his own consciousness.

This is difficult, because that kind of power is beyond imagination. Even if it appears to be quite weak, even his consciousness cannot be deceived. But when his consciousness tries to directly affect that power, it is like stirring a large jar with a toothpick. It cannot be said to be completely useless, but it can only be said to be better than nothing.

But Gu Dan did not give up. His few spiritual thoughts were like industrious ants, trying hard to tear off a piece of the Dao essence to have a look.

Time passes by every second.

The influence of that force on him was becoming weaker and weaker, and it was about to completely dissipate.

Gu Dan still refused to give up. When the last trace of Dao was about to dissipate, Gu Dan became angry and rushed directly with a few divine thoughts! He had just started to come into contact with this most direct spiritual power.

But if he missed this good opportunity, he wouldn't know when the next one would be, so he couldn't afford to hesitate.

If I lose some spiritual power, it will only take a while to recuperate.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In an instant, Gu Dan's mind became clear.

His vision seemed to be constantly raised and raised, sinking into an unknowable depth.

Faintly, I could hear the sound of thousands of Buddhas chanting, but as soon as the sound started, everything stopped abruptly.

Gu Dan woke up.

Good news: His spiritual power was not damaged at all, and it even became much stronger as if he had taken some tonic.

Previously, he could only move slightly away from his body, a bit like the soul leaving the body in the story, but it was different. Now, he could move about ten feet away and observe the area from a very special perspective! "Brother Gu, are you awake?!"

Wang Mang, who was guarding on the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Nothing special happened?"

Gu Dan's focus was not on this for the time being, but he asked immediately.

"There's nothing special, but the expression on your face, Brother Gu, seems to be somewhat similar to this statue." Wang Mang said hesitantly.

"Um?"

At this time, Gu Dan was finally able to see the statue of the Mother of No Birth clearly.

Huge, majestic, and unattainable, this is the first feeling.

Next comes luxury.

On the thirty-six-petal lotus platform, the kind-looking old man holds up the stars in the sky with a loving and peaceful look.

It makes people feel close to it.

'Close in heart.'

Gu Dan's eyes were slightly cold.

He walked to the side of the dark river, and with the help of the reflection of the dark river, he saw himself on the water.

It is somewhat inappropriate to say that Bao Xiang is dignified, but if we say that he is very Buddhist, there is probably nothing wrong.

Those things swallowed by his divine thoughts will still have an impact on people! "Can you scold it?"

Gu Dan suddenly said.

"What?" Wang Mang was stunned.

"Scold it!"

Gu Dan pointed at the statue of the Mother of No Birth.

"Why are you scolding Him for no reason?"

Wang Mang looked helpless, "Brother Gu, stop playing, business is more important."

"This is the real thing, just scold it and see how it goes."

Gu Dan stared at Wang Mang with his eyes fixed and spoke very seriously.

"Just scold me, damn it."

Wang Mang paused, "After all, this is the place where the White Lotus is passed down. Who knows what kind of disaster might come if we scold Him. Why not just forget it, Brother Gu."

The eyes of several people were all focused on Wang Mang.

Dare to come here, how can you be afraid of bringing disaster? This reason cannot be said to be untenable, it can only be said to be irrelevant.

Noticing the gazes of several people, Wang Mang himself was stunned.

"Why is this happening to me? Why is this happening to me? "

Wang Mang wanted to cry but had no tears, he couldn't even curse!!!

No, it’s not that I can’t curse Him, it’s that I have no desire to curse Him at all, especially when looking at the statue.

How could such an existence be insulted with words? Gu Dan took a few steps forward, looked directly at the magnificent statue, and said simply and rudely: "You **! ****! ****!"

A series of obscene and vulgar insults were heard.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but along with the insults, the statue that originally made him feel familiar wasn't so familiar anymore. At least the feeling faded a little.

Xun Ke, who was standing by, was stunned.

He never expected that Mr. Gu would be able to do this! He originally thought that the fighting power of a shrew in the street was second to none, but today, seeing Mr. Gu scolding, he finally understood the truth that there are always people better than you.

Without more than ten years of practice, it would be very difficult to reach this level of swearing skills, right?

The White Lotus Saint Xu Wanrong had a strange expression on her face, but she looked at Wang Mang with more concern.

As Gu Dan continued to curse, Wang Mang's expression became increasingly worse.

Gu Dan was clearly cursing the statue, and Wang Mang knew it, but he still felt uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, as if someone was pointing at his nose and cursing! Although his fists rose up involuntarily, Wang Mang was still able to restrain the desire to fight him.

The main thing is that I know I can’t win.

"Wang Lang."

White Lotus Saint Xu Wanrong tightly grasped Wang Mang's hand, "Are you okay?!"

If the previous performance was not obvious enough, then Wang Mang's change at this time undoubtedly showed that there was something wrong with this statue, a big problem! (End of this chapter)
