Chapter 104: The Cave of Sorrow (13) The Wise King VII
Bai family residence.
The Bai family, known as a wizard family, has passed down the 726 series identity cards from generation to generation. They worship the ancient god and expect their children to evolve their identity cards into [726 Ghost in the Lake]. No matter where they move to, there must be a lake around their house.
After a rebellious son of the Bai family reported the incident to the police, the family was targeted by the police. In addition, in the side quest of [Princess Castle Rules Strange Stories], players discovered that the feaster was dead and the gods worshipped by the Bai family had fallen.
The family has been in decline, and has moved quite frequently in the past two years. The lake surrounding the main house has changed from being boundless and vast, to being as clear as a mirror and beautiful, to being exquisite and beautiful and full of wildness.
To this day, the lake next to the Bai family’s house is still small and cute.
One of the heads of the Bai family, who is also Bai Jie's biological father, is named Bai Shu. He sits by the artificial lake with a diameter of less than 100 meters, gazing solemnly into the distance.
"Elder, the blind man's clearance video has been updated." A servant came over with a tablet.
When it comes to [000 Blind Man], Bai Shu has both love and hate for him. He loves him because he values his talent. The blind man has talent, which is as obvious as the sun in the sky.
The outside world thinks that wizard families are outdated, but some people think that wizard families are two versions ahead. For example, there is absolutely no theory of noble blood or preference for boys over girls in wizard families. As long as you are strong, you are the real heir, and you can pass on the throne internally or externally. It truly realizes the selection of talents.
Ever since Bai Shu saw Gao Mengtang's first video, he has been eager to recognize his son.
He hated her because the blind man not only snatched away his daughter-to-be, Xiao Canglan, but also had an affair with the scum Bai Jie. What a gifted child, but unfortunately, he is blind.
In the video, Gao Mengtang accompanied Wei Wei, who was wearing a wedding dress, to collect a handful of soil from the front door of each house and handed it to the left protector. That night, he was caught in Qin Xishuang's illusion.
The content of the illusion will not be edited into the video. The audience can only see that a chain is wrapped around Gao Mengtang's neck. He is sleeping soundly, and his eyeballs move rapidly from time to time. Xiao Canglan noticed Gao Mengtang's abnormality and pushed him hard, but Gao Mengtang did not wake up.
Afterwards, the scene switched to the end of the two illusions, and Gao Mengtang and Qin Xishuang confronted each other.
Bai Shu frowned: "It's a bit troublesome."
An expert knows the ins and outs. He knew very well how difficult Qin Xishuang's illusion was to deal with. He either had to have extremely powerful healing skills to break the illusion, or he had to kill Qin Xishuang.
Gao Mengtang has neither healing skills nor combat power. Can he still escape?
After taking a look at the progress bar, Bai Shu felt relieved again: "Qin Xishuang's illusion cannot be escaped unless she dies. Xiao Gao has his own way to break it."
In the video, Qin Xishuang smiled with determination: "Do you want to kill me, or use your healing skills to purify the illusion? As far as I know, you don't have any healing skills."
"Yeah, I don't have any healing skills," Gao Mengtang shrugged disapprovingly, "so I'm going to kill you."
Bai Shu said, "Qin Xishuang's combat power is not top-notch, but it is still better than more than 99% of the players. What is Xiao Gao going to do? Guess what?"
He turned around and asked the waiter. The waiter was suddenly called out, looking confused: "The blind man's operation is unpredictable, how can I guess it?"
"Yeah, that's right." Bai Shu nodded.
Then, Gao Mengtang took the gun from Qin Xishuang and put it against his temple.
Bang. Gunshot. Blood splashed.
Barrage: Eh hey hey? What are you doing? ?
: The influence in the illusion corresponds 1:1 to reality! If you die in the illusion, you will also die in reality!
：My wife!!! No!!!
: Calm down, there is still more than half of the progress bar left, the blind man must be fine!
The first shot missed and the bullet went out of the eye socket
Blood was pouring out, and the god-like handsome face was covered in scarlet, and the pale corners of his mouth slightly raised. Gao Mengtang raised his head slightly, raised the gun again, and aimed at his left eye.
Qin Xishuang was frightened, then suddenly came to her senses and rushed over to grab the gun.
A second gunshot rang out.
His brain was shattered and his body immediately went limp. Gao Mengtang fell backwards into the chair, blood flowing from his Adam's apple and into his collar.
"Mengtang! Mengtang!" Qin Xishuang rushed over crying, and Gao Mengtang's limp body slipped off the chair.
Qin Xishuang supported his shoulders, his back was bent, his neck drooped weakly, his long black hair brushed across his cheeks, covering most of his face and Gao Mengtang's features, leaving only his thin jawline and bloodless lips exposed.
Blood gushed out from the two eye sockets that were shot through and flowed to the corners of the mouth, like two lines of bloody tears.
On the other side, Duan Song, He Lun and others were also watching Gao Mengtang's clearance video.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked and at a loss. Gao Geng's metal left arm placed on the golden nanmu wood made a crackling sound, and his five fingers clenched tightly, leaving five holes in the table.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Bai Jie hurriedly comforted, "Look at the progress bar, there's only half left, the boss must still be alive."
The hinges of the metal arm gradually tightened, and Gao Geng narrowed his eyes: "This scene..."
He fell to his knees, his back bent, his head hanging down, his two eyes shot through...
"Secret Keeper 13-1028, honored today."
Some sealed past events crackled like ice melted by a raging fire, and fragments of memory flooded into Gao Geng's mind.
“The Black Tower has too many secrets that cannot be told, thought about, or forgotten.
"Keeper 13-1028, you are required to remain silent."
"Did you see the relief in the black tower clearly?"
“It’s quite shocking, isn’t it?”
Gao Geng frowned. He remembered that he had seen a relief when he was awarding honors in the Black Tower.
A man was kneeling on the ground, his long hair covering his face and his eyes were blinded.
"The throne will peel off a layer of skin and scrape off a layer of flesh from every supreme being."
"Don't stare at the relief. That's not what you should care about. There is an even more unspeakable secret behind this relief."
Gao Geng remembered that before leaving the Black Tower, he asked, "Who is the person in the relief?"
The answer is: "A sinner. He pierced his own eyes, and from then on, the underworld was like a long night forever."
"13-1028, come this way, Black Tower Seven."
"The secret you need to keep is about Su Ji Meng of the Moon Clan"
"Suji Meng is the crown prince. He has been chosen by the throne to be the next Supreme Being, whom we call—"
"——Wise King Seven."
"But on the day before he ascended the throne, Su Ji Meng was stripped of everything and exiled to another world. This was because the spirits discovered that Su Ji Meng had done something that would bring disaster to the world for thousands of years..."
The memory ended here. Gao Geng suddenly raised his head and stared at Su Ji Meng who was crunching potato chips across from him.
Su Ji:?
"Brother Duan Song, look at him!" Su Ji fell on Duan Song in a delicate and pitiful manner, crying and pretending to wipe her tears, "Brother-in-law is glaring at me again, I'm just eating potato chips."
"Stop making noise." Duan Song was so absorbed in watching the video that he stuffed a piece of potato chips into Su Ji's mouth to block it.
Su Ji Meng looked up and found Gao Geng still staring at him. His dark grey eyes flashed a hint of coldness, and then he started chatting again.
"Look at him, how fierce he is." Su Ji held potato chips in both hands and ate them aggrievedly, "Is Gao Geng jealous that I am beautiful and cute, and that Tangtang likes me?"
Duan Song & Bai Jie & He Lun: ...
Gao Geng remained silent and continued to watch the pass video. His mind was not on the video at all, but on one thing: Su Ji Meng was the crown prince. He was supposed to ascend the throne and become the Supreme Being, the only true God - the seventh wise king.
The scene switched to the copy of [Cave of Sorrow], and the black quagmire gushed out of Gao Mengtang's body. He was immediately resurrected, fought with Qin Xishuang, and snatched the Proverbs Lock.
: Damn, I don’t understand again. The blind man is not dead?
: He should be dead, the bullet has penetrated his brain.
: Could it be that the self-healing ability is extremely strong and it can heal instantly?
: The previous one is unlikely. The pistol Qin Xishuang gave Gao Mengtang is not an ordinary pistol. It has a severe injury effect. Shooting through the brain at such a close distance, there is no other outcome except death.
Bai Shu frowned when he saw this paragraph.
The 726 series ID cards focus on defense, and among them, [726 Ghost in the Lake] is the ceiling of tank-type ID cards. He knows the limits of players' defense and self-healing abilities.
No player can survive this suicide attack.
"This isn't a defense or a cure. It should be..." Bai Shu chose his words carefully, "He really died, and then, he was resurrected."
The waiter thought for a moment and said, "It's possible. Guns and Roses joined Yue Fan. The leader of Guns and Roses, Xu Xingchen, has a resurrection coin, and he must have given it to Gao Mengtang."
"Stupid." Bai Shu said, "Xiao Gao has drawn a negative effect. You can't use any items in this copy. You can't use the resurrection coins either."
The waiter suddenly realized: "Then how did he come back to life?"
The comments also had the same question: If it's not self-healing, then it must be resurrection? In this copy of the Blind, you can't use skills, so how can you be resurrected?
: Black quagmire! Twelve lantern ghosts! Recall that every time the ghosts appear, the blind man can turn danger into safety!
: Yes [Starry Eyes], when I saved Lucky, and when I saved Gao Geng in the side quest [Curse of the Birth of Death]. When Gao Mengtang died, these ghosts would appear.
: Therefore, the blind are——immortal!
: Reasonable, God is immortal!
: The immortality is so cool, kill as many people as you want! Blast fish in the dungeon.
: Resurrection coins, Wei Wei's contract resurrection, Qin Xishuang's [Breaking the Cocoon] are all weak, come and see the real immortal body and infinite resurrection armor!
: Black Tower is a game of life. The blind man has many lives, which one should he play?
: The Moon Banner Religion is supreme, and those who believe in it will gain eternal life!
: My family, I am really moved this time. If we join Yuefan, can we get the secret of immortality?
: Coach, I want to learn immortality! I can't learn this, 999 spirit value is also fine!
Research: The ancient gods are powerful, but their lives are finite. The blind are immortal, what does that mean? The blind are far superior to the ancient gods.
Reply 1: What is a blind person? Please analyze it for me.
For humans in the surface world, the Ancient Gods are the most mysterious existence they can touch. Beyond the Ancient Gods is absolute darkness.
Yan Tao had a serious expression on his face. He had read the Secret History of the Black Tower and his notebook till they were torn to pieces, but he still couldn't find a being higher than the ancient gods.
Fuling is a completely unfamiliar existence to players. The reason is simple. Players have seen ancient gods in dungeons, such as Pegana. They have also indirectly come into contact with the Dead Born, such as the previous dungeon of the Blind.
As for Fuling, only a few words can be found in the dusty information.
Most people describe Fu Ling with vague words like "goodness and beauty" and "pure radiance". No one has ever fought with Fu Ling, or even seen Fu Ling in person, and they don't know that Su Ji Meng was Fu Ling.
Fuling is like a unicorn, phoenix, or qilin. Do they exist? Not necessarily.
No one has ever seen Fu Ling with their own eyes. Some people have searched for information about Fu Ling before and found that it is clearly written in "Shadow Cult" that Fu Ling "is now annihilated."
Fu Ling may have existed, but now, it should be extinct.

Small study in the attic.
Weng Moyun, a 20-year-old girl with gray hair, crawled out from a pile of books in a daze, and after watching Gao Mengtang's clearance video, she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Immortality.
These four words entangled her heart like a spell.
She activated the identity skill of [004 Shuweng] [If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening]
The Shu Weng identity card and identity skill are somewhat useless: after using this skill, you can silently think about the puzzle you want to solve in your mind, and you can find some documents about the problem in the vast amount of classics.
Of course, if he used his skills sparingly, Weng Moyun would not really die, but he would enter a weak state for a long time.
Weng Moyun, with his messy hair, clasped his hands together and prayed devoutly: The truth about the blind man's immortality. The truth about the blind man's immortality...
Soon, a few lines of words appeared before her eyes.
Shadow Cult, Book 7, page 473, line 23:
The blessed spirit is now annihilated.
This information is not enough, players have already known this news.
Weng Moyun's throat felt sweet, and dirty black blood flowed from the corners of her mouth and ears. She endured the severe pain in her body and continued to recite silently: The truth about the blind man's immortality...
[If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening] It can even search books that have never been discovered, dig into the indexes, and find out the buried secrets.
The pain became more and more intense, and Weng Moyun suspected that she would die on the spot. She almost gave up, and finally, another paragraph of text emerged:
The Drowned Book, Book 12, page 1346, line 15:
The shadow creatures are called "ancient gods" in the surface world, barbarians and inferiors; the moon creatures are called "blessed spirits" in the surface world, holy spirits. The head of the moon tribe, the master of all spirits, is the wise king.
Weng Moyun suddenly opened his eyes.
Haoshouqiongjing (Weng Moyun forum ID) posted: "Come on, come on, I found something incredible!"
She put two paragraphs on the main floor.
Haoshouqiongjing: The "Fuling" we are talking about are the moon creatures in the other world. Their leader is called the Wise King. The book records that the moon creatures died out today.
: There are always exceptions. Is there a possibility, I mean possibility, that one or two moon creatures survived?
: He must have some extraordinary qualities to survive. Most likely, he is not just an ordinary blessed spirit.
Haoshouqiongjing: We may as well make a bold guess that the blind man is not only a blessed spirit, but also the chief of all spirits, the wise king!
: I don’t know why it sounds so impressive, but the name “Xian Wang” sounds very cool!
: Let me sort it out. To us, the ancient gods are supreme and powerful, but in the other world, the ancient gods, that is, the shadow creatures, are barbarians and inferiors. The moon creatures are the nobles. The blind man is the noble among the nobles, the king of nobles.
: Then, the blind man entered the Black Tower game to revitalize his tribe and lead the blessed spirits to new glory.
: The blind are always the bosses in this world? ? ?!
: The only leader of the other world——Gao Mengtang!
: Those who have offended Gao Mengtang, be careful, he is the leader in the other world, it will be easy for him to deal with you!
: @Qin Xishuang @Yin Mingwu
: Qin Xishuang doesn't need to tag anymore, he is in the same instance with the Blind Man, he will definitely die [doge]
: My props were snatched away twice, hahahahahaha.
: @Yin Mingwu, come and apologize quickly so you can die with dignity.
: The target of the next copy is you @尹明乌, old man you won’t live long, have you figured out how to slide to your knees?
Weng Moyun coughed and spat blood into the gap between the keyboards. She wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and fell on the bed piled with books.
The fever reached 40° and my head hurt so much it felt like it was going to explode.
The truth about the wise king should not be discovered.
This time, she will take a long break.
The top five hot searches on Heita APP:
#The Blind Man's Immortality#
#The Blind King#
#The Supreme Being, the Only True God#
#Please ask Yin Mingwu to bear the thorns and apologize#
#The blind man called the ancient god a dog#

Black gull.
The head of the public opinion group, Si Jiali, summarized the important information from today's forum and handed it to Yin Mingwu.
After reading it, Yin Mingwu said nothing.
"The player got some new information about the Wise King from nowhere." Scarlett said carefully, "It was retrieved by a player with ID card [004 Bookkeeper] using his ID skill. It was recorded in the Book of the Drowned. We didn't find any information about the Book of the Drowned."
"Now, the forum unanimously agrees that the blind man is some kind of [Wise King]. His popularity is rising rapidly, and he is ranked 77th on the honor list." Scarlett said, "Should we let it go, or curb public opinion?"
Yin Mingwu nodded.
What does nodding mean? Mute? Can't speak? Scarlett thought to himself.
"Don't worry about it." Yin Mingwu said.
Scarlett: "But the popularity of the blind is still rising..."
"He is not a wise king. Let the forum players make a fuss. When they find out that Gao Mengtang is far from a wise king, they will be disappointed. By then, his popularity will plummet." Yin Mingwu pointed at the seagull's pointed beak.
People are like this, they enjoy creating gods. If the created "gods" fail to meet their expectations even once, all the praise will turn into curses.
"Okay," said Scarlett. She was happy not to have to work overtime.
Yin Mingwu suddenly remembered something: "The skills of [004 Shu Weng] are a bit troublesome. Notify the assassin team and get rid of her."
Scarlett: “Yes.”
After she left the office, Yin Mingwu fed French fries to the seagulls and talked to himself as the birds chirped "Ooo".
"All twelve wise kings were executed by the throne. How can Gao Mengtang be considered a wise king, right?"
Seagull: “Oh.”
Yin Mingwu smiled kindly: "The only king now is Him... the god who created the Black Tower game and the Black Tower system. The blind are just players."
"Oh oh." The seagull held the French fries in its mouth and flapped its wings.

[Cave of Sorrow] copy.
Gao Mengtang snatched the [Yin Yang Pisces Pendant] and ran away, with Pei Jiana following behind. Every time Qin Xishuang tried to catch up, she would be frightened by the barking of a dog and tremble all over.
The three of them ran back to the hotel in the town, hid in the room, and added a protective magic circle that prohibited players from attacking for 24 hours.
"What's the use of this thing?" Gao Mengtang touched the jade pendant in his hand.
"Woof, the key item," Pegana spread out his limbs, lying on the floor, sticking out his tongue, "Offer the black jade pendant to Xingzi to trigger the next branch. The white jade pendant can summon the ghost doctor Limo."
Gao Mengtang: "Is there really a ghost doctor named Li Mo?"
Pegana: “Of course.”
Wei Wei took a puff of cigarette and said, "That's not accurate. Qin Xishuang's original words were, 'Before I entered the dungeon, I learned that there was a real immortal in this dungeon.' As for whether this 'real immortal' is Li Mo, I can't say for sure."
"That's almost the same." Pegana wagged his tail.
Wei Wei: "It's very different. After entering the tunnel, I found the paper man grass, and it smelled almost the same as the white powder used in the healing ritual."
Hearing this, Gao Mengtang glanced in the direction of Wei Wei. It seemed that they both had the same idea: the Ghost Doctor Immortal probably did not exist.
The experience after entering the village was more like a sorcerer's trick than a manifestation of gods and ghosts. Whether it was the statue with a mechanism or the duck blood in the cup.
Wei Wei's sleepwalking may have been influenced by the paper man grass. The white powder sprinkled on the ground during the disease-eliminating ceremony was obviously also the crushed paper man grass.
The only thing that was a little strange was the white fairy mentioned by the villagers. Also, since entering the village, Gao Mengtang could hear the sound of the surrounding bushes and other plants shaking, as if something was quietly following them.
Moreover, why does the name Limo seem vaguely familiar?
Just as he was thinking about it, the cell phone rang. It was a message from Wu Feng, asking them whether they had coaxed Xin Tong and whether they could let her go back to the village to sleep tonight.
Wu Feng's elder sister, Wu Ting, was also chosen to be the bride to marry the Ghost Doctor. Not long after Wu Ting got married, Wu Feng's father died.
Xin Tong knew about Wu's father's death, but she kept silent. She had to improve her favorability to get the information out of him.
Gao Mengtang put down his phone and said to Wei Wei with a smile: "Let's go, bride, let's go and woo the girl who is about to break up. This time we will persuade her to break up instead of reconcile..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the door slam, as if someone had kicked it. The three of them were startled and stared at the door.
