Chapter 67 The clue is broken again
But Gu Guilan didn't know where her father put the wishing statue, and provided several clues.
It took Pingyang Hou and his men half a month to find the wooden statue that was being worshipped in the private residence of the prince consort.
That private house was hidden away by the prince consort and was very secretive. It took a lot of time and effort to find it.
Because this matter was very secretive, after Pingyang Hou found the private residence, he did not send anyone to look for the statue, but went to look for it himself.
Wen Ling said: "According to the description of the wife of Pingyang Hou, this statue does have the ability to bewitch people.
When Pingyang Hou opened the door and found it, he heard the voice of the statue talking to him in his mind, saying that it could fulfill any three of his wishes.
The statue could even guess what Pingyang Hou was thinking, and said that as long as a sufficient price was paid, even his daughter Yuanyuan could be resurrected. ”
Gu Chenran thought thoughtfully: "Then this is quite consistent with what Gu Guilan said. This statue is very bewitching and can easily be bewitching people."
"Yes, that's right," Wen Ling nodded. "If Pingyang Hou hadn't met me before, Yuanyuan hadn't said goodbye to them in person, and they hadn't seen Yuanyuan enter the reincarnation cycle with their own eyes,
I'm afraid that even if we follow the clues and find this wooden statue, we will still be bewitched in the end, because it is so good at taking advantage of human weaknesses. ”
Marquis Pingyang was dazed for a moment, then he reacted.
He was determined and cursed directly at the statue: "You dirty thing, it was you who instigated people to abduct my daughter, which led to her accident.
You still want to use me to help you do things now? You are just dreaming! ”
Pingyang Hou was so angry that he drew his sword and chopped the statue with it.
According to the strength gained by Pingyang Hou from years of martial arts practice, this statue should be able to be split in half directly.
Unexpectedly, the wooden statue did not move at all, and Pingyang Hou's sword broke into two pieces first.
Only then did Pingyang Hou calm down.
He realized the unusualness of the statue and asked the wife of Marquis Pingyang to send it to the Wanshiwu.
He originally wanted to deliver it himself, but after all, there are differences between men and women. Finally, after confirming again and again that the Marquis' wife had not heard the bewitching voice of the statue, he felt at ease to let the Marquis' wife deliver it.
As for Gu Guilan who provided the clue, Lady Pingyang Hou did not go back on her word even though she hated her so much, and she really redeemed her from the brothel.
As for the fact that Gu Guilan was penniless, helpless in the capital, and was caught and sold to the Red House for the second time, that was really none of their business.
All I can say is that Gu Guilan's fate was what he deserved, it was really retribution.
Gu Chenran looked at the statue and said, "So, you said that the prince consort who worshipped it was able to pass the imperial examination and marry the princess because he made a wish to it? What did he do for the statue?"
Wen Ling's expression was cold: "If you wish to this evil god, hoping to get something for nothing, or want to get something beyond your ability, no matter what you wish for, you will be punished.
Did you see what good ending the prince consort had in the end?
Even if I hadn't appeared, he would have ended up helping someone else raise a son. He had been scheming all his life, and was just helping others get married while wearing a cuckold. ”
That's not wrong.
The gift from heaven has already been priced in your life.
Back to the point, Wen Ling stared at the statue and asked, "So, this statue is the medium through which the Lord of the World spreads his message?
Then who gave the statue to the prince consort, who made these statues and spread them?
Surely it couldn't have just appeared out of thin air, right? What impression do you have in that dream of yours? ”
Gu Chenran recalled it carefully again, and finally shook his head: "I don't have any impression of this. After my body was suddenly controlled by him, what I could see and hear was limited.
The first time I saw this statue was when he drew the blueprint and sent people to build a temple. Before that, I knew nothing about it. ”
Later, Wen Ling tried to see something on the wooden statue, but unfortunately he could not see anything.
"No, I really can't see anything. I could see some mana fluctuations before, but after the black line connecting you was cut off, I can't see anything. It's just an ordinary piece of wood now."
Wen Ling was a little disappointed. He had spent so much effort and trouble to find the statue, but in the end the clue was gone.
Now that I think about it carefully, all the people who may have had contact with this statue before are dead.
The prince consort was beheaded, his concubine Lanxiang and her cousin Huangliang were stabbed to death by the prince consort who had escaped from prison for unknown reasons, and Gu Guilan also died...
He is dead completely, there is really nothing we can ask him.
Gu Chenran was also a little disappointed, but he still comforted Wen Ling: "It's okay, at least we didn't gain nothing, at least we know that there are such wooden statues circulating among the people.
The prince consort is not a special person. Since he has it, I don't believe that no one else has it.
If there is a first, there will be a second. We should be vigilant and be prepared for it to appear next time. ”
"That makes sense," Wen Ling clenched his fists. "We should try to find the true body of this Lord of the World as soon as possible and eliminate him in advance!"
She could sense that this God who ruled the world must have suffered some serious blow and was in a dormant state where his strength had not recovered.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a hidden secret.
All she has to do is seize the time to accumulate merit and improve her cultivation.
She must improve her cultivation faster than this God who controls the world, otherwise if she can't defeat him... that would be very dramatic!
Wen Ling suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
I originally thought that she had traveled through time and space to become a big shot. After all, in this world where spiritual energy is almost exhausted, she is definitely the person with the most powerful magic.
I never expected that such a cult fanatic who proclaimed himself a god would appear out of nowhere and have such powerful magic powers.
Her script suddenly changed from practicing as a lazy person to a race against time to save the world.
Wen Ling scratched his head, wondering what to do. His head felt itchy and he felt like he had to increase the intensity.
To be on the safe side, Wen Ling set up a magic circle and pressed it on the statue to prevent it from being used by the God of the World to deceive people.
But when the magic circle pressed down on the statue, the statue turned into a pile of powder in an instant and dissipated in the air in a short while, leaving no trace.
Wen Ling's magic circle was still in the air, shining with golden light, but the statue just disappeared like that...
"Well, this time all my efforts were in vain. Nothing is left." Wen Ling gritted his teeth, withdrew his hand and removed the magic circle.
Gu Chenran comforted him: "It's okay, this statue is useless anyway, don't waste it, learn from it and be careful next time.
Let’s go home for dinner later and have a good meal to replenish our energy. There will be opportunities again in the future. ”
Wen Ling, who looked depressed, moved her ears after hearing that she should eat something delicious to replenish herself in the evening: "What else can we eat today?"
Gu Chenran laughed. His princess... was really easy to coax.
No, if she could be so easily coaxed into submission by him with delicious food, wouldn't it be easy for her to be coaxed away by others with even more delicious food?
Gu Chenran suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.
He now suddenly felt that what Green Sword said, "serving the princess well is better than anything else," did not seem to be wrong!
