In the study upstairs, Qi Mo and Gu Zhongquan did not leave. This was also Qi Jun's intention.
The affairs of Xuanmen involve too many things. Gu Zhongquan is the current head of the Gu family, and Qi Mo will take over his position to take care of Qi Jing in the future. They should know these things.
Qi Jing spoke first, "The person who cast the spell was indeed from Xuanmen, but he was coerced and was barely alive. He was also under a forbidden spell. As soon as he said 'Xuanmentian', he died, and his soul dissipated."
"Xuanmen Tianji." Gu Xuan's face darkened, "The formation book is still in Xuanmen."
Qi Jing frowned, "Didn't Huo Yuanqi say that the formation book was stolen?"
"His words don't count. The formation book is indeed still in the Xuanmen, and it's in the Xuanmen in Jing City." Gu Xuanyi untied the red string on his wrist and said solemnly, "The person who took the fate was born with bad luck. It's retribution for the sins committed by previous generations. This kind of fate cannot be changed, only a change of life can be made."
Qi Jing sighed, "Besides, he's not in Beijing. I looked at his face and saw that his father is still alive and his mother is dead, yet he grew up in an orphanage. This is very strange."
"That's not surprising," Qi Mo analyzed. "If this is retribution, his closest relatives should try to change his fate. Taoism talks about cause and effect. If they sever ties in some way, wouldn't that mitigate the consequences?"
Qi Jing looked at Qi Mo, "This possibility exists, but the premise is that the person is not contaminated by karma. This is only a glimmer of hope. Even if it is completely cut off, his life will not be smooth."
"After saving his life, the next step is to make him rich and prosperous." Qi Jun's eyes fell on Gu Xuanyi, "That person must have used some method to avoid the pursuit of the heavens and used others to exchange for Gu Zhou's fate."
"Not only that, the person behind the scenes kept a thousand-year-old evil ghost next to that person. I was not in the condition I was in at that time and could not destroy that evil ghost." Gu Xuanyi pressed his eyebrows. It was because of the attack of that evil ghost that Qi Jun was injured.
When they heard it was the thousand-year-old evil ghost, both Old Man Gu and Gu Zhongquan's expressions grew serious. Gu Zhongquan asked, "Now that the fate has been changed, what will happen to that person?"
"He will suffer backlash. He's already had a rough life, and now he's probably going to get seriously ill. Besides, the life-changing technique has been cracked, so it won't work anymore." Qi Jing explained, "I think the person behind this will definitely find another way to save that person's life."
Qi Mo said, "If it's someone from Xuanmen, that person's status must be high. As long as we can track down those people from Xuanmen, we can find out who is behind it."
"Wait a minute!" Gu Xuan looked up at Qi Jing, "Huo Yuanqi's extremely dark fate."
Qi Jing also suddenly realized, "If it is a soul-swapping technique, and the soul is transferred to Huo Yuanqi's body while that person is still alive, perhaps it can really avoid the law of heaven."
Qi Jing frowned again after he finished speaking, "But I've seen photos of Xuanmen Huo Yan, and he has no blood relationship with that person at all."
"That's strange." Gu Xuan lowered his eyes and thought, "It seems I have to go to Xuanmen again."
Qi Jing was even more confused about what Gu Xuanyi couldn't figure out. Only Qi Mo raised his own question, "The souls haven't merged?"
Qi Mo looked at Gu Xuanyi inquiringly. It was obviously Gu Xuanyi, and there was no trace of Gu Zhou.
Qi Jing sighed, "The situation is urgent. Erye and Jiaojiao can't handle it. We can only change the fate back first."
"That kid won't hold me back in anything." Gu Xuanyi emphasized that he was very strong and it was Gu Zhou who was useless.
Gu Zhongquan was completely confused and looked at Gu Xuanyi with some suspicion, "Grandfather?"
Gu Xuan glanced over and said, "Don't call me that. It's shortening my life."
Qi Jun explained in a cooperative manner, "Gu Zhou is the reincarnation of Gu Xuanyi. Logically speaking, you are still his father."
Gu Zhongquan was even more confused, so he gave birth to the ancestor of the Gu family?
Old Master Gu knew about this before, but he didn't react much. He looked at Gu Xuanyi and asked, "In your opinion, what is the reason why Xuanmen attacked the Gu family this time?"
"Stop Xiao Jing and get my fate back." Gu Xuanyi analyzed, "Xuanmen has noticed since Xiao Jing appeared and summoned Gu Zhou's soul, and they must have been observing. It wasn't until Xiao Jing took back the Jade Tripod that Xuanmen confirmed that a master had appeared. Some people in Xuanmen knew of my existence.
The seal of the Black Dragon in Pingzhou was intended to lure us there, to confirm whether I had truly returned or whether there were other experts. Then, I would go to Xuanmen and have Huo Yuanqi meet me to give me some half-truths. They were unsure how much power I still had left, and whether I could hinder their plans.
Qi Jing suddenly realized, "I said that Xuanmen couldn't have forgotten what Second Master remembered, so how could they just put the seal up for auction? I sent that ghost away at school today, and someone saw it. They were anxious to take action against the Gu family because we found someone following you and asking for information about you, so they wanted to take action against the Gu family."
"Since they are targeting the Gu family, why are there traces of Xuanmen in the Zhuang family, the Du family and Qiu Lan?" Qi Mo was still struggling with this question. He could not find any clues about the so-called Taoist priest. If he wanted to investigate, he could only start from Xuanmen.
But except Qi Jun, no one else in the Qi family knows about Xuanmen. Qi Jun can only contact some old seniors of Xuanmen now, and those old seniors don’t know much about the current Xuanmen. Even if there are younger generations in Xuanmen, they don’t know much, and they have only heard that Xie Shaoyun is a member of Xuanmen Tianji.
Gu Zhongquan continued, "When we moved, none of us thought of moving the Jade Tripod. When the Jade Tripod was being transported, our family members watched over it the entire time, never taking their eyes off it. To this day, no one knows why the Jade Tripod was moved."
Qi Jing felt strange, "Are you sure you didn't look away?"
"We suspected Zhonglang and Zhongcang before, but later we re-investigated. Zhongcang went out to answer a phone call, but Zhonglang was there the whole time. Zhonglang also said that he never left and was always watching Yuding."
This was really strange. Qi Jing tilted his head, unable to figure out what was going on. He quickly set his sights on Gu Xuanyi, "Recall Gu Zhonglang's facial features at that time and see if there was anything strange."
Gu Xuanyi thought for a moment and then his expression turned serious. "I can't see his face clearly."
"I can't see clearly..."
Qi Jing and Gu Xuanyi had their own guesses at the same time. Qi Jing said, "That person is not Gu Zhonglang."
"Someone is impersonating me."
Although the words are different, the meaning is the same, which can be regarded as revealing the truth behind the loss of Jade Tripod.
But the Gu family didn't understand. Gu Zhongquan frowned, "We all saw it with our own eyes. How could we not recognize it if it was an imposter?"
"There's a technique in Xuanmen Taoism called disguise. You only need to take on the other person's aura and use talisman paper to complete the disguise. Ordinary people can't see it." Qi Jing looked at Gu Xuanyi with a reproachful look, "You kept a copy of the Yin-Yang Five Arts! I told you that those were harmful, but you didn't believe it!"
