Chapter 168: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net

"From what you have described, it seems that the ancestors did not destroy them all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and now they are back for revenge. ”

After listening to Gu Xuan's analysis, Xing Shuchen and Drunk Wumeng were silent, if things were really as the master said, then this problem would be complicated.

Drunk Wumeng once said that this matter involved a lot, far from what the two of them could imagine. But he never thought that this matter would involve so much and be so unimaginable.

He originally thought that this matter would at most involve some big Dao systems in Beiyun Continent, but who knew that such a dusty history would be involved.

I saw that Drunk Wumeng thought for a while, and then said:

"Is it possible that this matter has nothing to do with this dead underworld, but the two of us just heard it wrong? After all, this matter is too involved.

Just from the three vague pronunciations of Bloodwing before his death, it would be a little unscrupulous to conclude out of thin air that such a group that had been wiped out for an unknown amount of time had reappeared, right?"

Gu Xuan shook his head, stared at him closely, and suddenly asked, "Do you think you heard it wrong?"

Seeing that Drunk Wumeng was silent and did not answer, he turned his head to look at Xing Shuchen again:

"Do you think you've misheard?"

"Nope. Xing Shuchen replied without thinking.

"Why are you so sure? Gu Xuan continued to ask with interest.

"The bloodwing shouted three syllables before he died, and the third one was indeed indistinct, but the first two syllables were still very clear, and I was sure that what I heard was death. If he hadn't seen the Dead Underworld with his own eyes, how would he have known about it?

And even if I heard it wrong, but Senior Brother Wumeng, after all, he is a monk at the level of entering the house, how could he also hear it wrong? Or is it unrealistic for both of us to hear it together.

Also, if we really misheard, then isn't it all too coincidental? The dead underworld is three words, and Bloodwing uttered exactly three syllables before he died. Two of them were misheard by me as dead dead. The Dead Underworld is an evil witch, and Bloodwing also happened to have fallen for the evil witch's 'soul spell' and died.

All of this should not make the disciples think that this could be a coincidence that we misheard. ”

After finishing speaking, he stood quietly aside, waiting for Gu Xuan to speak. Gu Xuan also smiled and nodded: "That's right." ”

Then he turned to Drunken Wumeng again: "Did you hear your junior brother's analysis?"

Of course, Drunk Wumeng knew that it would not be because the two of them heard it wrong, and after hearing Xing Shuchen's analysis, he was even more speechless, and was silent for a long time before saying:

"I know what Killing Dust said, but even so, it can't be so easy to conclude that the Dead Hades have not been completely wiped out. This is just an assertion of inference, how are you going to declare it to the whole sect?"

When he heard that he was actually worried about how he would announce it to the whole sect, Gu Xuan laughed, and laughed very abruptly:

"Dreamless, you're still like this, you're too rigorous when you encounter big things, you're so rigorous that you lose some of the most basic thinking skills.

In the first year of your coming to the Taoist Sect, I told you about this problem, and after so many years, you still haven't completely changed it.

You don't really think that I'm just going to conclude from the descriptions of the two of you that the dead underworld weren't all wiped out, do you?"

Drunk Wumeng was a little dazed when he heard it, and asked a little tentatively, "Could it be ...... Isn't it?"

"Of course not, how could I conclude that the Dead Underworld was not destroyed from the fact that the two of you described it alone?"

"But you didn't ...... just now" Before he finished his words, he was interrupted by Gu Xuan:

"The conclusion I came to from what I just said is not that the Dead Underworld was not completely destroyed by the ancestors back then, but that they have come back to take revenge.

As for the fact that they were not all wiped out, I had already guessed, or could be said to know, before that. ”

"You already knew?!" Hearing Gu Xuan's words, Drunk Wumeng was directly stunned, but he had been in the Dao Sect for so many years and had experienced a lot of things, so he immediately reacted and asked:

"Didn't you deduce this from what we told you?"

"Of course not, what are the things you talked about that have anything to do with the Dead Underworld? The three syllables that Bloodwing said before he died were only the two words Death Underworld that you could hear.

And then there is the soul spell he has been subjected to, how can I easily conclude that the Dead Hades have not been completely wiped out? You see Killing Dust, he was not shocked by my words, I think he had thought of this a long time ago. ”

Hearing that he suddenly mentioned himself, and Drunk Wumeng also cast a curious look, Xing Shuchen scratched his head embarrassedly:

"That...... I haven't thought about it for a long time, at most I guessed it, I've known the master for so long, and I know that although you are good at reasoning, you never jump to conclusions.

But in the case of the dead underworld, you are almost sure that they have not been completely destroyed, so you must have your own self-confidence.

But when I think about it, I don't think that the little information we have provided you is enough to support this kind of confidence. So I'm sure you've got other news about the Dead Underworld, but I don't know how fully you know. ”

Xing Jichen's analysis was methodical and well-founded, and he was drunk and dreamless when he heard it. He knew that Xing Shuchen's mind was quick, and he had known it since he guessed that he was following him. But he never thought that Xing Shuchen's thinking would be so agile.

As if seeing his thoughts, Gu Xuan said lightly:

"Don't be surprised, killing dust is a bit of a demon, but you should have been able to do it to this extent, and you should have analyzed it more comprehensively than he did.

But you didn't, and it's all because you're overdoing it. So I'm still saying that, you must get rid of this shortcoming of yours. ”

"The disciple is taught. Drunk Wumeng said in a respectful voice. It is true that he thinks too much when he encounters big things, although it is good to think more.

But he thought about it so much that it reached the point of being timid. As Gu Xuan said, he was so cautious that he lost some of his most basic thinking skills. This is called overreach.

If you know what is lacking, you need to correct it. Drunk Wumeng also quickly adjusted his state, reorganized his thoughts, and asked:

"Since you didn't deduce from the information we provided that the Dead Hades weren't destroyed, how did you come to this conclusion?"

"You've finally got the question to the point. Gu Xuan stroked his beard with a smile:

"Do you still remember the sect master of the Sword Gate, the old ghost of the sword, and the twenty-third of the sword? It was the master of the sword who forced you to use all your strength in the Great Competition of East Tarctica, and he was also their sect master. He also came during the entrance examination this time, and snatched Songyun's position and sat on my left. ”

When it comes to the old ghost of the sword or the twenty-third of the sword, the drunken dreamless is at most known, but not very clear. After all, he was not like Xing Shuchen, who had an intersection with the old ghost of the sword, so he was deeply impressed.

But if you mention Jianmen and Jianqi, Drunken Wumeng will never forget it. It can even be said that when it comes to the sect of Sword Sect, the first thing that comes to mind is Jian Qi, after all, it is also an out-and-out Tianjiao.

This was one of his fierce rivals when he was in Antarctica. Although he is not an opponent in the decisive battle, he is his most powerful and most difficult enemy. In order to deal with him, Drunk Wumeng can be said to have exhausted all his skills, which defeated him dangerously.

So he didn't have much impression of the other things Gu Xuan said. Only the word Jianqi led away all his thoughts. I saw him stand for a while before he could react and speak:

"Oh, you said that Jian Qi is the sect master of the Sword Sect, of course I know. The famous sword old ghost sword twenty-three in the Southern Regions, his twenty-three style god-chasing sword technique is superb, and I don't know how many ghosts and ghosts he has killed, they are all famous in the cultivation realm. ”

"Famous, I think your mind should be on Jian Qi, right? But this matter has nothing to do with him, it is only related to the old ghost of Jianqi. ”

Gu Xuan joked with a smile, making his drunken and dreamless face also blushing for a while, after all, it was really embarrassing to be distracted when the master was talking. Especially when he was ridiculed by the master.

Gu Xuan also teased him that it would be over at once, and he didn't intend to hold on to it. After teasing, he immediately spoke:

"That was after the old sword ghost came to me to participate in the apprenticeship ceremony, at that time, he should have just returned to the sect, and he sent a message to me, saying that his sword sect disciple was hunted and killed when he was training.

He sent an elder from the Sword Sect to catch some of the disciples who hunted the Sword Sect, but they all fell for the Soul Spell and did not come up with any useful news.

Originally, he just thought that there were some evil witches in the witch cultivation who were doing it, and although he didn't take it to heart, he still asked someone to hurry up and track it down.

But what he didn't expect was that in the process of tracking, the people of their Sword Gate accidentally discovered the traces of the Dead Hades. The person who tracked it down didn't know that it was the Dead Hades, and it was only after he came back to tell him that he discovered it in combination with some of the characteristics of the Dead Hades.

Because his Sword Sect was also one of the Dao Sects that participated in the eradication of the Dead Hades back then, he felt that it was possible that the Dead Hades had not been completely wiped out.

Then he asked me about it, and it just so happened that this was starting to happen on our side, and it was happening on a large scale, and I don't think it was a coincidence.

So on the one hand, I declared to the sect that it was possible that some of the four clans were making trouble, and sent people to investigate, and on the other hand, I quietly consulted the ancient books.

I looked through many ancient texts that had accounts of the Dead Underworld, and finally I was able to find some clues that there might really be a very small branch of the Dead Underworld that had not been wiped out.

And these things that you have come back today have convinced me of my thoughts. The smallest branch of the Dead Underworld, the Wuyun Branch, must not have been destroyed at that time, they survived, secretly developed to this day, and finally came back for revenge. ”

"But why do you conclude that this 'Wuyun Branch' must have not been destroyed?"

Gu Xuan smiled slightly:

"That's because this branch is very special, the reason why he is the smallest branch of the Dead Underworld is because none of their clansmen can practice the Nine Clans' arts, I don't know why.

As a member of the Dead Underworld, but he doesn't know the Nine Clans, do you think this branch can grow, and can it have a high status in the clan?"

You don't have to think about this question to know, as a person in the Dead Underworld, but you can't even cultivate the Nine Clans Technique, how can your status be high?

Gu Xuan didn't answer with them, but continued:

"That's why I don't think they were wiped out back then. And it is another reason to conclude that they were not destroyed. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Xuan paused for a moment, and then continued to speak:

"Because although they can't cultivate the Nine Clans' arts, they are good at another kind of witchcraft, and what they are good at is soul spelling. ”
