The tranquil courtyard is covered with verdant bamboo, and a crystal clear stream flows through it.

This courtyard is obviously much larger than the residence of ordinary children of the Fang family, and the layout of every grass and tree in the courtyard is quite exquisite.

Gu Chen stepped on the cobblestone path, without making a sound, following the sound of the piano he had heard earlier.

On the edge of the stream in front of the courtyard, where the sun was rising, a middle-aged man in a simple green robe with gray hair was putting his hands on a guqin, engrossed in plucking the strings.

The previous lofty sound of the piano came from him, and he had a face that Gu Chen could not ignore it.

His appearance was nine out of ten similar to Fang Shiyang, the head of the Fang family he had seen last night.

However, he was not Fang Shiyang, otherwise Gu Chen would not dare to risk getting so close.

Although this person looks similar to Fang Shiyang, there are still many differences when you look closely.

Fang Shiyang's temperament is not angry but mighty, and this person is a bit like a breeze and flowing water.

Fang Shiyang's hair was dark, and there was a scar under the corner of his left eye, and this person's hair was gray, and there were no scars under his eyes, but he looked much older than Fang Shiyang.

The most important thing is that the Fang Shiyang that Gu Chen has seen is unfathomable, but the person in front of him can see through it at a glance.

This person is just an ordinary mortal, and there is no cultivation on him.

In order to avoid being distracted, Gu Chen deliberately mobilized the purple polar pupil, looked through this person's body, and found that the dantian in his body was damaged, and the meridians up and down his body were also very weak, and he couldn't even do it for Yuan Li to swim, and he obviously hadn't carried out any cultivation.

There is only one possibility, this person was born with a broken dantian, and it is not suitable for cultivation at all.

Gu Chen hid in the bamboo forest, looking at the middle-aged man who was stroking the qin, but he didn't notice it.

It is impossible for a mortal to discover Gu Chen who is deliberately hiding, let alone a mortal, even within this Fang family, he has a heart to hide, and few people can detect it.

Who is this person?

Why do you look so similar to Fang Shiyang?

Gu Chen was curious and puzzled in his heart.

He listened quietly to the sound of the piano, and suddenly, his face moved, and his body merged into the bamboo shadows around him.

A young man who was too handsome to look like a man walked through the bamboo forest and came to the man who was playing the piano.

It was Fang Shijie, Gu Chen discovered him one step ahead, but the other party didn't notice it.

"My nephew has seen my uncle. ”

Fang Shijie said to the man in front of him, but he did not salute, and there was not much respect in his words.

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and the man looked up and smiled. "It's Shijie, why did you think of looking for me early in the morning?"

"My uncle didn't attend last night's banquet, and my father was a little worried, so he ordered me to ask. ”

Fang Shijie replied.

"That's what happened. ”

The man suddenly realized, and immediately shook his head, a little self-deprecating. "Yesterday they were all big people from the criminal county, right? If I am a mortal and sit with my eldest brother, it will inevitably damage the image of our family. ”

Fang Shijie heard that there was some contempt in the depths of his eyes, but he said on the surface. "Uncle is serious, you are my father's sibling no matter what, and you deserve a place in any important field. ”

"Here, this is the elixir that my father ordered me to bring, uncle can try it. ”

Fang Shijie took out a bottle of elixir and did not offer it with both hands, but just placed it on the ground in front of him casually.

The man who stroked the qin didn't seem to notice the other party's rudeness, and sighed at the pill.

"How much effort did Big Brother spend searching for this elixir? I was born a waste, no panacea will have any effect, Big Brother should stop doing this. ”

"Instead of spending a lot of resources on me, it's better to spend all this energy on you, nephew. ”

Fang Shijie's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, and his smile was much more sincere than before.

"What my uncle said also makes sense, but unfortunately my father has felt indebted to you since he was a child, and he doesn't care how much resources he wastes for you. ”

"If my uncle has the opportunity, I will give my father a word or two, and my nephew will take his leave first. ”

After Fang Shijie finished speaking, the man continued to stroke the piano, but as if he was disturbed by what had just happened, the sound of the piano became a little chaotic, obviously losing his previous profound artistic conception.

Not long after, he stood up, picked up the pill that Fang Shijie had given him earlier, and returned to his room a little lonely.

Gu Chen witnessed the whole passage from the side, and when he saw the man enter the door, he also turned around and left the place.

"It turns out that Fang Shiyang also has a younger brother who can't cultivate by nature. ”

Gu Chen muttered, Fang Shiyang was a well-known figure in the Chaos Sea, who wanted to get his fellow brother but he didn't even have the qualifications to embark on the path of cultivation.

It can only be said that it is all fate, even if it is the Fang family who is proficient in life magic, it cannot change the fate of everyone.

Gu Chen spent a few hours asking the other party to learn more, but unfortunately he still failed to find out the Fang family's motive for murdering him, let alone find a clue about the Destiny Path Copper Coin.

He regretted it and went back to his lodgings.

A day later, the scout who had been sent by Gu Chen to investigate the situation in the Thirty-seventh Realm sent back the news.

"Gu Shuai, the Five Elements Emperor has already laid down an extremely tricky Five Elements Reincarnation Great Array where the Chaos Path Window is located, this array is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and has a natural restraint against the power of the Five Elements, we are in trouble!"

Deputy Marshal Hu Helie's face was calm, his Burning Legion was famous for its fire path, and its destructive power was extremely amazing.

However, the Five Elements Reincarnation Great Array is an extremely famous formation in the Sea of Chaos, and within the Great Array, it is difficult to exert the power of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which is extremely disadvantageous to the Burning Legion.

The time limit given by the Torture Dao Monarch to conquer the Seven Realms was only three months, which meant that they couldn't afford to waste too much time in the Thirty-seventh Realm.

However, now that the Five Elements Reincarnation Array is out, the Xingjun army may be trapped here for many days, and there is a risk of delay!

The internal military law of the criminal county is strict, and if the task assigned by the criminal Daojun cannot be completed within the specified time limit, the consequences can be imagined!

When Gu Chen heard about the situation of the Five Elements Reincarnation Array, his brows couldn't help frowning.

He wasn't good at formations, so he didn't know how powerful this formation was.

It depends on the situation, so I can only go and see it in person.

"Master Gu, our family has always been slightly proficient in formations, how to break through this Five Elements Reincarnation Array, I may be able to help. ”

When Gu Chen was thinking about it, Fang Shijie recommended himself and was willing to go to the battlefield with Gu Chen to find a way to break through the big array.

The attack on the Seven Realms by the Criminal County required the Fang family to provide various resources and channels, and Fang Shijie was originally sent by Fang Shiyang to be in charge of this matter.

At the moment, it is not surprising that he recommended himself, showing the Fang family's loyalty to the criminal county.

It's just that Gu Chen knew through the hexagram that the Fang family might not be good for him, and this sound intriguing.

"Okay, I'll trouble Fang Gongzi to go with me. ”

Gu Chen did not refuse Fang Shijie's request and agreed.

No matter what the Fang family wants to do, if it comes, it will be safe, and he will see the move.
