Chapter 142: Seizure of Power 1
Early in the morning of the second day, Cang Wunian summoned An Ruyue and prepared to ask her to take Gu Wentian to Qianji Mountain Villa together.
"Little Prince, Qianji Villa is thousands of miles away from us, you are not suitable to use mana now that your soul is injured, if you travel by carriage and horse, I am afraid you will not be able to come back in three days, right?" An Ruyue asked with doubts.
"Who told you that now that I can't use mana, I have to travel by chariot and horse?" asked Cang Wunian with a smile in his eyes.
Before An Ruyue could react, Cang Wunian had already strode towards the backyard.
"Eh, little prince, you wait for me!" An Ruyue came to her senses and hurriedly trotted to follow.
When she arrived in the backyard, seeing Cang Wunian standing with her hands in her hands, just facing the rockery full of stone caves but not making any movements, An Ruyue couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Little prince, what are you looking at this rockery?"
Cang Wunian hooked the corners of his lips and took out the bone flute he was carrying from his lower back. The next moment, I saw him throw the bone flute to the top of the rockery, and when he was about to touch the rockery, the bone flute stayed firmly in mid-air.
"Little prince, don't urge mana!" An Ruyue was shocked, didn't she say that she didn't use mana? Why did she let that bone flute float in mid-air so out of thin air.
Cang Wunian didn't answer, but his hands were slowly knotting his handprints, and every time he changed his handprints, there was an extra shadow on the bone flute in mid-air. As the speed of his palm changed faster and faster, the ghost of the bone flute in mid-air also increased.
When he finally stopped his movements, twenty-four bone flutes were already suspended in mid-air.
"Fall!" Cang Wunian snorted softly, and twenty-four bone flutes lined up in a circle and landed around the rockery at an extremely fast speed.
An Ruyue, who didn't know why, just wanted to ask, but saw a touch of moon-white clothes flashing in front of her eyes, and Cang Wunian's figure had left her side in the blink of an eye.
Then the white of the moon seemed to follow some pattern, moving rapidly between the places where the twenty-four bone flutes fell, leaving only a trace of afterimage in their passing.
When Cang Wunian stood back by An Ruyue's side again, a scene that made An Ruyue dumbfounded happened: I saw that a huge light array appeared in the circle surrounded by the twenty-four bone flutes, and the light array slowly rotated, and then a low roar was heard, and the rockery standing in front of them was actually divided into two, slowly moving to both sides.
"This ...... Little prince, what the hell is going on?" An Ruyue asked as she pointed to the rockery in front of her.
"This is the formation I laid out when I had nothing to do when I was idle and first learned Qimen Dunjia. It's a pity that the materials at hand at that time were not rich enough, and this formation was really simple, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so much time to open today. Cang Wunian said lightly.
"Is this a formation?little prince, are you sure you didn't use your mana just now?" An Ruyue's eyes widened, still in disbelief.
Cang Wunian glanced at her helplessly: "You should always know the 'Phantom Lost Trace', if I use mana, the position of the twenty-four bone flutes that appeared just now should be my changing clone, and I don't need to use this kind of martial arts to run away point by point." ”
An Ruyue nodded sneeringly, "Phantom Trace" was a unique martial arts taught to them by a martial arts senior in the rivers and lakes arranged by Gu Wentian at the beginning, An Ruyue will never forget the shock in her heart when she first saw this martial art. That was the first time she knew that mortals who didn't know mana could also use such subtle and deceptive martial arts.
Of course, what shocked An Ruyue even more was that it only took half a day for her little prince to grasp the essence of it.
"But little prince, don't you still have internal injuries in your body?, will it ...... if you use internal force like this?" An Ruyue asked worriedly.
"You girl, you've been in the human world for a long time, and you're becoming more and more like those old women in the human world. Cang Wunian glanced at An Ruyue with some anger. His physical body was just a little injured, and with the help of the Shengyuan Pill, it was not a problem to recover overnight.
But what he can't understand is that he has always had his own ideas and measures in doing things, why the people around him spend more time with him, the more they don't trust him, and always question what he does. Jing Congyi is like this, An Ruyue is even more so, and I don't know if the painting will become like this one day.
Thinking of painting Allure, Cang Wunian's face couldn't help but stiffen, when he left the Demon Slaying Sect yesterday, he didn't say hello to her, and he didn't know how this girl was now, would she be sad because of this, and lead to a Gu poison attack?
"Little prince, according to the human world, Ruyue's identity following you is indeed equivalent to their so-called grandma. An Ruyue didn't notice Cang Wunian's attitude, and accepted the title very calmly.
"Alright, without further ado, let's get into battle. Cang Wunian didn't have the heart to argue with her, and raised his hand to cover himself with a bronze mask. He was now on his way to business, and time was running out.
With Gu Wentian, who had no self-consciousness, walked in the formation for about a stick of incense, and the three of them had already arrived at the gate of Qianji Mountain Villa.
"Who's coming!" saw someone suddenly appear, and one of the guards guarding the door shouted alertly.
None of the three answered, but slowly walked up a few steps. After seeing the person who came, several guards hurriedly knelt down on one knee, lowered their heads and said respectfully: "My subordinates see the village master, the young master, and the elder Ruyue." ”
Cang Wunian didn't speak, just nodded lightly, and then passed the guards and walked directly into the villa.
After entering the Zhuang Lord's Mansion, Cang Wunian glanced at Gu Wentian and commanded in a low voice: "Summon all the Thousand Machine Pavilion Domain Lords and Elders in the Zhuang today to your council hall, and say that you have something important to announce." ”
Gu Wentian's eyes looked at him without focus, nodded indifferently, and then he reached out and slowly took out a seal from the placket of his clothes, and with a fierce wave of his hand, the seal flew into the air. At the same time, a curtain of light appeared in front of the domain masters and elders of the major realms in the mountain villa.
"Hurry to the council hall, there is something important to announce in this seat. Gu Wentian gave the order in a stiff tone.
In just one cup of tea, twenty-five people gathered in the Great Hall, including three elders and twenty-two domain masters. As a member of the top members of the Thousand Machines Pavilion, they had obviously heard about Gu Wentian's injury and disappearance, and many people speculated whether it would be their nominal young master's growing wings, so they designed to remove Gu Wentian so that they could become the main master of the Thousand Machines Pavilion.
Today's appearance of Gu Wentian dispelled everyone's doubts, but at the same time, it brought new doubts: this owner has been missing for two days, and as soon as he returns, he will gather everyone, what is there important to announce?
I don't know who shouted "The owner is here", and the hall was suddenly silent, and everyone straightened up their clothes and looked at the first seat of the hall with respectful eyes.
"To make a long story short, this seat has gathered everyone here today to officially announce that from now on, all the affairs of the Thousand Machines Pavilion will be managed by Nian'er. In the future, he will be the pavilion master of the Thousand Machines Pavilion. "The sound of Gu Wentian's flat and numb voice sounded in the hall.
It's just that as soon as Gu Wentian's words fell, the council hall that had a moment of tranquility exploded. Over the years, they all knew that Gu Wentian was very important, but no one expected that he would be so heavy that he would hand over the Qianji Pavilion that he had grown up with his own hands to a so-called righteous son who didn't even know his identity.
"Owner, how can this be done? You are a person who has stepped into the way of heaven with one foot, and my Thousand Machine Pavilion has stood in the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years, and it is also thanks to you. If we make such a hasty decision on the new master of the Thousand Machines Pavilion, I am afraid that those forces that have been eyeing us will take this opportunity of turmoil to suppress us. The subordinates still hope that the owner of the village will take back his life!" said a tall and thin old man who looked to be over sixty years old.
"The subordinates still hope that the owner of the village will take back his life!" With the words of the tall and thin old man, many people present bowed down and clenched their fists in agreement.
This thin and tall old man is named Zuo Chunshen, one of the oldest elders in the Thousand Machines Pavilion, and at the same time, he also has an identity worth mentioning, that is, Gu Wentian's junior brother. When he was in Qingxuguan, Gu Wentian, who was still Gu Erniu, had always taken care of him, and the two were like brothers.
So much so that later Gu Wentian left the Qingxuguan self-reliance portal, and Zuo Chunshen resolutely left with him. He knew that his talent was not outstanding, and practicing immortal magic and Taoism was just a matter of strengthening his body and prolonging his life, and it was estimated that he would not be able to take his turn in the next life. It's better to follow Gu Wentian to do a great career, and it can be regarded as a vigorous life.
Although Gu Wentian's temperament began to change since Gu Wentian's son became a living dead, and later even Yunrui became like that, Gu Wentian completely fell into madness. But Zuo Chunshen always believed that his nature was kind, and it was precisely because he gave too much love to his wife and children that he couldn't accept the fact that they fell asleep.
Over the years, Zuo Chunshen has done his best for Qianji Pavilion, and he just wants to worry about Gu Wen's talent, hoping that one day he can find a way to wake up his wife and children and help him eliminate the demon obstacles in his heart, so that he can once again see the honest and kind Erniu Senior Brother back then.
Accidentally learned that there was such a relationship between Zuo Chunshen and Gu Wentian, Cang Wunian was a little surprised, and at the same time, his heart was very clear, this Elder Zuo was undoubtedly Gu Wentian's confidant, if you want to say who has the most weight in the entire Thousand Machine Pavilion, except for Gu Wentian, it must be this person.
