Chapter 56: The Keeper of the Boundary
Aoki!
This is the family name of a bloodline family, and its bloodline power comes from that huge Aoki, and the place where Gu Xiaozhao and Su Qiao'er went was the secret realm of the Aoki family.
As for the secrets of this secret realm, where are the strangers with the surname Aoki?
For the time being, Gu Xiaozhao didn't know anything.
When Qingye entered the sea of knowledge, Gu Xiaozhao suddenly knew a short piece of information, knowing that he had become a servant of the Aoki clan and had to do things for the Aoki clan, just like his parents and Su Qiao'er's father, Su Zhiwei.
What do you do? What are your tasks?
Unknown at this time.
That green leaf is a shackle, but also a gift.
Gu Xiaozhao knew that this green leaf in the sea had three veins, so he could also cast three small spells, the rejuvenation technique, the doppelganger incarnation technique, and the winding technique......
Rejuvenation, as the name suggests, as long as the person is not injured in the head or heart, you can use the surrounding grass and trees to perform this spell to restore its vitality and health, this spell can not only be applied to yourself, but also to others......;
These three techniques are all borrowed from the power of plants and trees, and in the same way, they are also methods that are used once and are less than once, and their effects are similar to those of foreign bodies.
That green leaf is nothing more than a foreign object in disguise.
To be precise, it is a higher-level foreign body, driving the green leaves in the sea of consciousness, consuming the energy and breath brought by the green leaves themselves, and there is no need to satisfy the other party through blood sacrifices, naturally, Gu Xiaozhao will not be like Gu Xingzhou and the like who have to use the cost of his own life to open.
It sounds good, however, the aura contained in this green leaf is a real threat, and this is the origin of the shackles, which is equivalent to one more thing in your mind that is not under your control, this thing seems to be able to control your life and death, just in the light of its thoughts.
How to fix it?
At least, in that secret realm, Gu Xiaozhao didn't dare to act rashly.
After Qingye entered the sea of knowledge, just when Su Qiaoer was still a little confused, there was a whirlwind in front of him, and the cyan light quickly disappeared, and the three of them entered the road again, I don't know how long it took, it seemed like a long time, and it seemed to be an instant, and the three of them returned to the Du coffin shop.
The corridor disappears, and the coffin is revealed.
Several coffins of different sizes were placed in the middle of the room, and the walls around them were piled with many paper-tied boys and girls, as well as all kinds of wreaths, in short, although it was eerie, the furnishings were similar to those of other coffin shops, the old man with a hunchback at the beginning, and the middle-aged man was looking at them with a smile.
"Two, now we're our own people......"
Subsequently, he began to introduce himself with some enthusiasm, and by the way, he answered questions for Gu Xiaozhao and Su Qiaoer, just like he said, now he is the contact person between Gu Xiaozhao and Su Qiaoer, and the two sides have a relationship of both prosperity and loss, so they must have a good relationship.
This guy named Luo Yuanqiang is the Aoki servant of the four veins, and he is also the so-called guardian of the realm.
The task of the Guardian is very simple, on the one hand, to guard the portal and introduce the so-called destined people into the secret realm, and on the other hand, to issue the task and send the prize after completing the task to their contact person.
Even if you become a servant of Aoki, you rarely go to the secret world unless you have to, the secret world is heaven for inhumans with bloodline power, but it is hell for ordinary people without bloodline power, if you stay for too long, your body and soul will be assimilated and devoured by the secret world.
Therefore, the role of the gatekeeper is important.
A person like Luo Yuanqiang who guards the realm can't leave the coffin shop for the rest of his life, yes, the coffin shop is the gateway to the secret world, its location is mobile, and now it is at No. 72 Linhe Street, Meizhou City, and the next moment he may go to a farm in Jiudaohe, Wenzhou.
There are many portals in a secret world, each of which is connected to the real world, and there are people who guard the world, and those who are not the ones who guard the world are guided, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter the door.
Once the guardian comes out of the portal to the real world, the price is that his soul is destroyed, and his body turns into a wisp of green smoke and ceases to exist.
As long as he stays within the portal, he can attain what is called eternal life.
Just like Luo Yuanqiang, he was still aging and dying, because he brought Gu Xiaozhao and Su Qiao'er into the secret world, Gu Xiaozhao had something on his body that interested the Aoki family, so the existence in it was in a happy mood, and he poured the power into his body, so that he could rejuvenate and return to his prime.
Speaking of which, Luo Yuanqiang has now lived for more than 300 years, and his longevity is far better than ordinary people, however, being trapped in a coffin shop all his life is like being sentenced to life imprisonment, fortunately or unfortunately, but it is difficult to say.
Speaking of which, Luo Yuanqiang and Gu Xiaozhao's ancestors still have a lot of origins.
Gu Xiaozhao's great-grandfather was a destined person introduced by him personally, and after that, Gu Xiaozhao's grandfather and Gu Xiaozhao's father were all guided by him into the secret realm of the Aoki clan, and the big-headed puppet was a token.
Gu Xiaozhao's mother is also a servant of Aoki, she and Gu Xiaozhao's father met during a mission, they have a good impression of each other, and they became a couple after living and dying together.
It's just that Gu Xiaozhao, a matrilineal family, didn't know anything, and he was still young when his parents disappeared.
With these origins, after a simple exchange, Gu Xiaozhao naturally asked Luo Yuanqiang about the whereabouts of his parents and Su Zhiwei.
However, Luo Yuanqiang did not know the whereabouts of these three people.
Of course, he didn't really know anything, after all, there were some clues.
In his memory, five years ago, Gu Xiaozhao's parents received a task from him, he didn't know what this task was, he just handed a green leaf to Gu Xiaozhao's parents, and the task was sealed in the green leaves, and after taking over, the green leaves turned into light and shadow and entered the two of them.
Most of the gatekeepers were chattering, because they could only communicate with the Aoba servants, so Luo Yuanqiang forced Gu Xiaozhao's parents to speak at that time, and during the exchange, Gu Xiaozhao's parents also said some words related to the task, of course, what was the real task, they didn't dare to talk nonsense.
This mission seems to be related to Meishan, and they have to enter Meishan.
This is the information that Luo Yuanqiang knows, after that, he has never seen Gu Xiaozhao's parents again, but some tasks need to take a lot of time to complete, so he didn't care much, as for the current situation of Gu Xiaozhao's parents, he didn't know.
As for Su Qiao'er's father Su Zhiwei, Luo Yuanqiang has no news at all, and he has only met the other party once or twice, Su Zhiwei's level is relatively low, and he has no qualifications to be guided into the secret world.
At the beginning, Su Zhiwei was seriously injured, and Gu Xiaozhao's father used rejuvenation to revive him, and he also had the breath of the Aoki clan on his body, and he had to be led to the portal of the secret realm, but the Aoki clan people didn't seem to be interested in Su Zhiwei, so they didn't let him enter the secret realm, but made him a vassal of Gu Xiaozhao's parents.
Without Gu Xiaozhao's parents, he would not have been able to contact the Secret Realm Portal at all.
Meishan?
Gu Xiaozhao frowned slightly.
In other words, the reason for the disappearance of his parents is related to Meishan, so it seems that he has to enter Meishan, even if the depths of Meishan are the so-called forbidden area.
However, Gu Xiaozhao also had doubts.
It stands to reason that he became a servant of the Aoki clan after all, whether he was willing or unwilling, that is, there should be a task to be released, why did he not move.
So, he asked Luo Yuanqiang out loud.
However, Luo Yuanqiang was also confused.
This is the first time he has seen such a thing.
In the past three hundred years, whether it is a descendant of an Aoki servant like Gu Xiaozhao who entered the secret realm to obtain Aoki's approval, or entered the secret realm for the first time as a destined person, he will also get the task information while obtaining Aoba, if the task cannot be completed, he will be counterattacked by Aoba, and only after completing the task can he get Aoba's approval.
Gu Xiaozhao's situation, he couldn't explain.
"Nephew, what vein are you?"
After a while, he thought of a possibility, so he said hesitantly.
Gu Xiaozhao pondered for a moment and decided to tell the truth.
"A certain is a three-vein!"
Three pulses!
Luo Yuanqiang's pupils dilated significantly, as a guardian of the realm, he has made great contributions in the past three hundred years, and now he is only the fourth vein, this Gu Xiaozhao is the third vein when he first entered the secret realm, it really confuses him, and makes him jealous, people are more angry than people!
What so special is this kid!
Luo Yuanqiang stared at Gu Xiaozhao with some jealousy in his eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, he let out a long sigh, laughed dryly, and then said.
"Nephew, you are really lucky, as soon as you enter the door, you will be appreciated by the adults, you know, even your Gu family's first line, even if it is your great-grandfather Xianwen Gong, who is the most desperate to get, is only the third vein in the end, like your grandfather and parents were born and died for many years, and only then did they become the second line, far inferior to you!"
Gu Xiaozhao didn't speak, there was no smug look on his face, he still looked back at Luo Yuanqiang without sadness or joy.
Luo Yuanqiang continued to laugh dryly.
"Don't worry, the three veins of Aoba don't need to get the task from me, you can get information directly from the adults, at this time, it's just that the time has not come, when the time comes, the nephew will naturally get the task information, the nephew is so valued by the adults, and he will definitely soar in the future, when the time comes, the old man still needs a lot of care from the nephew is ......."
Then, he glanced at Su Qiao'er, then turned his gaze to look at Gu Xiaozhao and continued.
"The little girl became a destined person because of the relationship between the nephew, and she is now a vassal of your nephew, just like the relationship between her father and your parents, but as a vassal, you can also enter the secret world to obtain Aoba, and the adults really value your nephew!"
After that, he Luo Yuanqiang sighed and shook his head.
"Oh!"
Gu Xiaozhao replied, speechless for a while.
