Chapter 353: Awakening (2-in-1)
Qizhou, Yeyi.
In front of the "Cloud Pavilion" that became a ruin, a graceful figure emerged, it was the "Qingli Fairy" who went to the Meng family to make amends.
She glanced lightly at the silent figures in the ruinsβthey were all supernatural cultivators who protected Gu Gongzi, and then walked towards the only building in the entire "Feiyun Pavilion" that had not been destroyed.
There was no worry on the fairy's face, as if he was sure that his son was fine.
Sure enough, as soon as she approached the intact building, she heard heavy breathing, intermittent crying and begging for mercy.
The Qingli Fairy did not enter the building, but stood outside the door, and waited until a satisfied roar came before respectfully asking, "Is Childe okay?" β
"What can I do? It's just an assassin, and it's not uncommon...... And tonight, in addition to predicting that you will leave, tonight's strength is not comparable to the 'Heavenly Waterfall Sword' in the Sword Pavilion. A voice came from inside the house, in a disdainful tone.
"It's unusual to be able to accurately grasp the timing when I will leave Childe's side...... Has Childe ever interrogated him about his origin? The green glass fairy asked again.
"I only know it's a nun, and it's already run ......away," the voice in the room was silent for a few seconds before it came out again.
"Ran away?" The Qingli Fairy's face showed disbelief, and for the first time she showed surprise, "I can actually start ...... Successfully escaped? β
"There's always something more powerful than my old man!" Gu Changhe sighed and continued, "The back path prepared by that female assassin is the 'door' and 'key' to enter history.
"There is this kind of thing, and I can't keep the thing I gave me."
"I see...... Qingli Fairy exhaled, and then frowned again, "If you enter history, it is almost impossible to deduce her identity......
"And Childe, you have many enemies, and it's not easy to find out who did it."
"Don't bother looking for her...... People who have entered history, young master, I haven't heard of anyone who can come back! Gu Changhe pursed his lips, then tidied up his clothes, and then Shi Shiran walked out of the house and came to the Qingli Fairy, "What's more, if the Meng family reveals the news, can you really go to them to settle accounts?"
"People don't want to provoke my son, but they are not afraid of him.
"It's really annoying people, it's not easy for such a family to clean up me?"
Qingli Fairy knew that what her young master said was right, so she had to sigh.
Speaking of which, although Gu Changhe often "goes crazy", he is by no means brainless, every time he can't control his emotions and needs to vent, he will find a realm where there is no strong force, and he has not caused any major disasters so far.
Even if he occasionally injures some people with distinguished status, he will apologize as soon as possible afterwards, and generally for the sake of his father's face, he will not be too embarrassed by him.
"In fact, how do they know that the one who wants me to die the most is probably my father...... It's just that he can't show it, and he has to go to great lengths to send someone to protect me...... Hey, this kind of 'promotion' that is not free at all is better than not being promoted! Gu Changhe laughed sarcastically a few times, but none of the words he said could be spoken, and all of them were eliminated by invisible forces.
In this regard, Gu Changhe's smile was even more sarcastic.
β¦β¦
In a small building in the southern district of Yumen, the phantom of "Duan Mingxue" briefly talked about his grievances with Gu Gongzi after finishing the matter of the half-que prophetic poem, and then continued:
"Little Zero, if I fail, I'll either die on the spot...... In this case, because of my connection, I am afraid that you will be implicated, and this photo will not be seen by you......
"Either my follow-up is working, and at this time I have entered a period of 'history', and I am afraid that it will be difficult to return in this life.
"And the connection between you and me has been severed...... Congratulations, Little Zero, you're completely free! β
Hearing this, Mingxue Ling's eyes flashed with joy, not for his own freedom, but because Duan Mingxue was not really dead...... Even if they may never see each other again.
"However, as a friend, I still want to make three requests to you selfishly, I don't know if you can agree to ......" Duan Mingxue's phantom said with some embarrassment.
"Since we are friends, I will naturally fulfill your request......" Even though he knew that Duan Mingxue couldn't hear it, Mingxue Ling still responded seriously.
"I guess you'll agree to ......" On the other side, Duan Mingxue's phantom also smiled at the same time, "Because my little zero is such a gentle, kind, and considerate girl."
"Although I am usually a little verbose and venomous......"
Ming Xue pursed her lips and did not admit her shortcomings.
"First, I want you to help me complete a certain ritual and get the second half of the prophecy." Duan Mingxue's phantom retracted her smile and said seriously, "You shouldn't know that in order to find an opportunity to assassinate Gu Changhe, I have actually joined the 'Star Society'!"
"Although this organization is a demon, its declaration of 'the star god is born, and the fate is uncertain' hit my heart.
"This is the ambition that people should have, so I don't believe in any 'fate'!
"Hey, I digress...... In fact, I used the prophecy to obtain the ritual of the Star Gods' given by the 'Society of Stars'.
"And the 'Galaxy Ghost Scale Lantern' that accompanied this ceremony was originally in charge of me, but later I deliberately handed it over to the owner of the Zhen Mansion in Dunhuang Qingyun Tower, and he lost this heavy treasure as I expected.
"In this way, you don't need to deal with demons anymore, you will have the opportunity to retrieve this treasure, help me complete the follow-up rituals, and ask for the prophecy of Xia Que.
"By the way, according to my investigation, that thing is currently in the hands of 'Blood Sword Langjun' Zhao Chen, which is one of the reasons why I specially brought you to Ganzhou."
Duan Mingxue, she really took a few steps...... Are all human beings so complex? When Ming Xue Ling heard this, she only felt that her "computing power" was almost insufficient, not because of how complicated these plans were, but because of the logical relationships in them, it was very difficult for her to establish.
"That 'Blood Sword Langjun' is not an idle person...... I know you have the means to steal the door, but the 'Galaxy Ghost Scale Lantern' is not so easy to obtain, so you need to be cautious, it is best to gain his trust first, and don't steal it if you can trade......
"In addition, what is required to perform the 'Star God Heaven' ritual is the power of the soul or its equivalent.
"If you can't sacrifice the souls of the supernatural powers or even the monks of the caves, you need to sacrifice a large number of monks and ordinary people who have never eaten sweet potato rice...... I don't recommend that you do that, because that will inevitably lead to a blow from the provincial government.
"Therefore, it is a good choice to find a man of the year to follow and use the other party to accomplish the goal.
And Zhao Chen is a candidate who meets this standard.
"Temporarily following Zhao Chen's side can not only gain his trust, but also use his hand to collect the soul of the strong,"
Speaking of this, Duan Mingxue's phantom paused before continuing, "But it's up to you to decide how to do it...... Otherwise, it's all my instructions, so how can you talk about 'freedom'?"
"Well, the second request, I think you guessed it...... That is, when one day you can really get the prophecy of Xia Yan and really get the opportunity to kill Gu Changhe, please help my mother avenge it. β
After listening to Duan Mingxue's suggestions and requests, Ming Xue Ling just nodded thoughtfully, and muttered, "I didn't even know that you had joined the 'Star Society'...... In addition, did Zhao Chen have such a treasure in his hand? No wonder you paid so much attention to him from the very beginning, and you still had to ask him as an alibi.
"It's paving the way for follow-up contact, right?
"Human calculations are really complicated...... Until the purpose is revealed, you can't see it at all.
"And the same thing, it is likely that there are many purposes, and these purposes can change as things change......"
Mingxue sighed slightly, feeling that she was still far from wanting to be a real human.
She didn't expect that there were very few human beings who could calculate to this extent.
"The third request is just a small personal wish of mine...... Well, that is, when your future strength is enough, please be sure to board the 'Danding Immortal Sect', slap my father, and help me get angry! β
Listening to Duan Mingxue's slightly childish tone, Mingxue Ling nodded seriously and said solemnly: "Mingxue, don't worry...... I will help you complete your three requests one by one! β
Although Duan Mingxue's phantom was only a reserved image, she seemed to be able to hear Mingxue's words, a smile bloomed on her face, and she said:
"I know you will definitely agree to come down!
"The capacity of the phantom message is limited, and I won't be verbose here, but I will only say one last sentence......
"Little Zero, I entrust everything to you, please live a good and happy life."
After the phantom said this, it disappeared completely.
Ming Xueling, who was standing in place, was silent for a long time before he said to the "No. 2" on the side:
"From today onwards, I will be 'Duan Mingxue'."
β¦β¦
In the Golden Dart Martial Arts Hall, as soon as Zhao Chen and Zheng Qingyan entered the courtyard where Xiao Ruoyun was placed, they saw Gong Yun and Ma Guangliang fighting each other, while the young Zhou Fu shrank aside, not daring to insert into the "battlefield" of the two powerful masters at all.
Seeing Zhao Chen and Zheng Qingyan coming in, the two sides exchanged a few simple greetings, and Ma Guangliang took the initiative to say: "The preparations required for my 'Dream Lingering Gu' Gu Technique have all been completed, do you want to treat that little girl now?" β
Zhao Chen opened the "Hole Void Eye" and looked at Ma Guangliang carefully, and found that he was still just a Yin Qi clone, so he turned his head to look at the young Zhou Fu and asked, "Little Brother Zhou, are you ready?" β
Zhou Fu took a deep breath and replied firmly: "Ready, you can wake up Ruoyun at any time from a dream." β
Zhao Chen bowed slightly, then looked at Ma Guangliang again and said, "Then let's start." β
About half an hour later, a magic circle was set up in this courtyard.
In the grooves around the circle, there are not only nearly 100 gems of different colors inlaid densely, but also two jade platforms arranged in the center.
ββThese materials were collected by Sima Zheng for Ma Guangliang in recent days.
On one of the jade platforms lay a beautiful woman with a normal face but closed eyes.
It was Xiao Ruoyun.
The other jade platform was empty, but directly above, there was a purple halo that kept flickering, like a "cage" composed of beams of light.
At the edge of the magic circle, Zhao Chen, Zheng Qingyan and others stood there, and there was also Li Changsheng, the blue-robed boy who saw the movement.
The pale-faced boy and Gong Yun stood together, fanning the folding fan while looking at the magic circle in the courtyard, not knowing what was going on in their hearts.
Zhou Fu stood a little farther away, with more than a dozen talismans pasted on his body, and Gong Yun painted many seemingly complex lines on his robe, which made people feel a little dizzy when they stared at it.
"It's time now, it's almost time, and I can let Brother Zhou enter the magic circle." Ma Guangliang took out a staff from the storage bag and said with a narrow gaze.
"Yes, the junior obeys!"
As soon as he heard this, Zhou Fu exhaled lightly, and slowly entered the "cage" composed of light from behind, and after a while, he lay on another jade platform not far from Xiao Ruoyun.
At this time, Li Changsheng frowned and asked, "Ma Guangliang, you are arranging the 'Formation of the Same Death' in the southern Xinjiang area, right?"
"It can really bring this little girl into your preset 'dreamland...... However, I remember that this formation was unsolvable...... How do you make sure the two of them get out of the dream safely? β
Ma Guangliang glanced at him meaningfully, and said with a smile: "The sixth brother is really knowledgeable, and he even knows the 'Array of Deaths' ......."
Then, he changed his words and explained with a smile, "However, if this formation doesn't have the 'Dream Haunting Gu' Gu Technique, it is indeed as you said, it must only be able to get rid of it after death."
"But with the 'Dream Lingering Gu', there is vitality.
"Because after they enter the dream realm, the carrier of their consciousness is actually this Gu worm, and when the time comes, the 'same death' will naturally be a Gu worm.
"I have signed a contract with Chen Gongzi, but I won't do anything about it."
Li Changsheng, the boy in the green robe, was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't say anything more, allowing Ma Guangliang to raise his staff and spew out a purple spiritual light that disappeared into the magic circle.
At the same time, Ma Erxia, who "shines on Dunhuang with a bright moon", also whispered in the ear of Zhou Fu, who was about to "sleep":
"Brother Zhou, you remember, there are only nine chances...... If you can't wake up this little girl in nine scenes, don't be foolish, activate the talisman on your body as soon as possible, and wake up on your own. β
Zhou Fu nodded and agreed, and then fell into a deep sleep.
Immediately afterward, the entire magic circle suddenly buzzed, and the surrounding gems also bloomed with various colors, illuminating this small courtyard of the Golden Dart Martial Arts Hall in a colorful light.
Zhao Chen didn't pay attention to Zhou Fu, most of his eyes were attracted by the staff in Ma Guangliang's hand, because its style was exactly the same as the one that the other party had destroyed in Sanssouci City...... It is clear that they are all imitations of Xingcha's missing accessory, the "Lishi Fairy Scepter".
This Ma Guangliang really has the clue of "Lishi Immortal Scepter"!
