Chapter 33: Speculation
Qingshui Town on this day was destined not to be a peaceful day, almost everyone was discussing the destruction of the Sun family, and even the matter of the Sword Xuanzong's apprentice trial quota competition was completely covered by this turmoil. Those who were supposed to get the quota should be extremely honored and worthy of celebration. But the focus is not here at all.
After Gu Chen destroyed the Sun family, the law enforcement officers of Qingshui Town came to the Sun family to check the situation, and they found that the deceased were all throats sealed with a sword, or their heads were cut off neatly and evenly, and the wounds were extremely smooth.
It can be seen that the main person who caused this incident must be a sword cultivator, and his realm is very high.
"Have you heard? The Sun family offended a powerful sword cultivator, and the entire big family didn't leave a single person alive, even the martial artist Sun Li of the Eight Heavens was killed, and a deacon of the Royal Beast Gate also died tragically in the Sun family. ”
"Oh! It turns out that the storm ape and the demon sound bat that day were the treasures of the Beast Gate, and I thought it was a wild beast invasion. ”
"My third aunt's nephew's uncle's cousin is in the law enforcement team, and he said that when he checked the body, he found that the head of the Sun family and the major elders of the Sun family were poisoned by the horse grass, and what's the matter, even Master Wen was also poisoned. ”
"It seems that this is a premeditated game, and the initiator is supposed to be a very experienced assassin or a killer. ”
The people of Qingshui Town talked about it in various places, and they didn't know which sword cultivator caused it, which made the people of Qingshui Town panic, and few people dared to go out. I'm afraid that I will be assassinated if I am cold.
Gu Dan has successfully recovered under the care of the old doctor, but he now needs to use crutches for his movements, and he is a little used to this kind of life for the time being.
Gu Qing had already left, he was no longer nostalgic for this place, not to mention losing the competition, but also seeing Gu Chen's strong rise, he felt very uncomfortable, and now the only person he could pin on was his cousin.
Gu Qing's cousin was a disciple of Sanyuanmen, and he didn't believe that Gu Chen was so powerful that he could beat his cousin, so Gu Qing had to prepare to go home early and wait for his cousin to come.
And Gu Xingyu also left, I heard that there were other things to do in his house, and it was inconvenient to entertain everyone in Gujia Village. Then now only Gu Chang, Gu Wutou and Gu Dan are still vaguely staying in the inn.
"Uncle Gu, why did you say Brother Chen, he hasn't come back for two days. Gu Chang held a big chicken leg in his hand and bit it the side of his mouth, a large pile of oil stains covered his mouth, with his fat head and big face, such an expression made him very funny.
"Yes, Gu Wutou, someone just came to tell us that day that Gu Chen had something to leave, but we don't know that person, and even if there is something, Gu Chen should come back, he is not familiar with life in this kind of place. Erdan muttered, he was very worried that something would happen to Gu Chen.
Gu Wutou was pacing back and forth in the room, he was also very anxious in his heart, but he could only wait now, without knowing Gu Chen's whereabouts, if he looked around, it would definitely be a waste of time.
Gu Chen's strength Gu Wutou is still very confident, although he doesn't know what kind of adventure he has gotten, his strength can be even stronger than he is now. But in the past two days, the Sun family was destroyed in Qingshui Town, and he was afraid that this matter was related to Gu Chen, because on the day Gu Chen disappeared, the Sun family was destroyed.
"Otherwise, you go back first, I'll be here to guard, maybe Gu Chen will finish the matter, and he will be able to find us wherever he goes." Gu Wutou pondered for a long time and got such a decision.
Gu Chang and Erdan nodded after hearing this, in their opinion, this is indeed a good way, at least for now.
The two walked together, Gu Chang helped Erdan and walked slowly towards Gujia Village, although Gu Chen won the place, he was originally going to return to the village happily to report the good news, but Erdan had such an accident, which made the brows of both of them mixed with a little sorrow.
"Erdan, did you say that bastard Sun Wen was killed by Gu Chen?" Gu Chang held the second egg in one hand and said the guess that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time.
It is not impossible to say that Gu Chen did it, first of all, Gu Chen is an invincible existence in the process of martial arts, no one can find out his true strength, and even the five elders of the Sun family have no advantage in fighting against him. Secondly, I heard that the murderer this time was a sword cultivator, and Gu Chen happened to be a person who used a sword, although he had not seen his swordsmanship strength, but he still had an inexplicable admiration for Gu Chen. In the end, Gu Chen disappeared that morning, and then a battle broke out in the Sun family in the afternoon.
All kinds of cause and effect have been haunting Gu Chang's mind for the past few days, and he really wants to tell himself that it was not Gu Chen's doing, but the intuition in his heart is to constantly make trouble, forcing him to put these thoughts together.
Erdan stopped after hearing this, his face showed a thoughtful expression, he had also thought about such a question in the past two days, things were too strange, as Gu Chen's sworn friend, he also knew Gu Chen's personality very well, Sun Wen treated him like this, with Gu Chen's character, revenge was absolute.
But thinking that Gu Chen had just broken through to the Martial Triple Heaven more than a week ago, and then the strength of the people who destroyed the Sun family was not below the Martial Eightfold Heaven, throughout the history of the Qingyan Empire, there was no person who could make such a big breakthrough in such a short period of time. If it was really Gu Chen's doing, then how terrifying should his talent be?
Thinking of this, Erdan's body trembled, and he almost didn't even hold the crutches steady, he said: "I think it's better to wait for Brother Chen to come back, now that the matter has not yet come to light, let's not make rash assertions." ”
Gu Chang felt that what Erdan said made sense, Gu Chen's whereabouts were still unknown, and it was too early to discuss these things.
The two simply stopped talking and continued to walk towards Gujia Village.
Gu Wutou stayed alone in the inn, silently waiting for Gu Chen's news, and he was the only one in the entire inn who noticed the movement of the Sun family's killer that night. It's just that when he went up to the top of the building, the killer was gone, leaving only a pool of blood, and a small hole where he could see Gu Chen's room.
Based on these, he was already able to conclude that this was the hand and foot of the Sun family. But fortunately, Gu Chen didn't have an accident, and he also planned to take everyone back to the village the next day. It's just that early the next morning, before breakfast, Gu Chen disappeared.
He thought that the Sun family had taken Gu Chen away, but just as he decided to question, a fierce battle broke out in the Sun family. With only the strength of the martial artist Six Heavens, he could only watch from afar, and kept praying in his heart that Gu Chen would be fine.
Then the Sun family was destroyed, and the corpse at the scene was not Gu Chen, and most of the worries in his heart were less. But at this time, the question in his heart deepened: Where did Gu Chen go?
Just as they were looking for Gu Chen all over the world, they didn't know that he was now comfortably enjoying all kinds of treasured elixirs brought by Wang Hefeng to help him recover his body.
Gu Chen was mainly injured internally, Wang Hefeng specially found some elixirs to repair internal injuries, and then he usually ate all kinds of boiled spiritual soups, as well as precious beast meat.
Although the place was a little broken, it did not affect Gu Chen's happy mood at the moment, under such conditions, even if he didn't cultivate, he could eat every day, his strength could grow very rapidly.
It can be said that Gu Chen is a little unhappy now, and he has forgotten everyone in the Gu family. In fact, this can't be blamed on Gu Chen, it can only be said that Gu Chen has never enjoyed such comfortable care since he was a child, and he couldn't imagine this kind of life before.
"It turns out that the children of the big family are so comfortable every day?" Gu Chen finished drinking the last sip of spiritual soup and burped in satisfaction. In fact, even the descendants of the big family couldn't squander Gu Chen like this. After all, the family's financial resources are limited, and even Sun Wen, the son of the head of the Sun family, does not eat and drink well every day like Gu Chen.
All this can only be attributed to the rich Wang Hefeng, the underground black market he has controlled for many years, I don't know how much wealth has brought him, it can be said that this is a thousand miles away, and the title of the richest man is his.
Gu Chen thought for a moment about the strength he possessed at the moment, after breaking through to the Martial Artist Fifth Heaven, he felt that his body had changed very much, first of all, his strength was 500 catties more than before, and now it was 1500 catties of huge strength! What a terrifying number, he was only a Martial Artist Fifth Heaven! What if it was a Sixfold Heaven?
He didn't dare to tell Wang Hefeng about such a change, for fear that he would think he was a monster, and maybe he would directly dissect him for study.
As for the Heaven and Earth Aura, he was just subconsciously operating the shallow Heaven and Earth Aura in his body at that time, and inadvertently formed a layer of shield to resist the sonic attack.
Normally, only people in the realm of martial artists are qualified to contact the aura of heaven and earth, absorb it from their own bodies, and cultivate. And Gu Chen was inexplicably able to control such a power, which surprised him very much.
Gu Chen had seen such a special situation in some ancient classics in the early days, generally speaking, if you have a special physique, you will have such a "privilege", such as an innate spirit body.
"Am I an innate spirit?"
