Chapter 89: Three Rumors
"Senior Zhang!" Seeing Zhang Gu, Xue Wuwei, who was confused, seemed to have found a backbone. He was about to ask what happened to Xiao Chen, but was interrupted by Zhang Gu waving his hand.
Slowly coming to Xiao Chen, Zhang Gu said in a deep voice: "How are you? How do you feel?"
Seeing the sudden appearance of Zhang Gu, Xiao Chen finally felt relieved. In his opinion, with Zhang Gu here, the old man could withstand even if the sky fell.
Lying comfortably on the grass, Xiao Chen said with relief: "It's so scary, damn it's so scary. This is the first time I feel so close to death. Grandpa Zhang, do you know that the sword is probably half a meter away from my neck?" It’s all gone. I can even see my blood splattering and dying on the spot in the next second.”
"Grandpa Zhang, I haven't even gotten married yet. It would be such a loss if my mother dies."
Looking at Xiao Chen who kept complaining, Zhang Gu shook his head helplessly, and then said in a deep voice: "Have a good rest. You will definitely be safe tonight."
After saying this, Zhang Gu winked at Xue Wuwei, and then slowly left the courtyard.
Xue Wuwei, full of doubts, bowed to Xiao Chen and hurriedly followed Zhang Gu.
After walking out of the courtyard, Xue Wuwei was surprised to find that almost half of the guards of Qunying Pavilion were already guarding the outside of the courtyard. Ouyang Xu had a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, with his hands folded in front of his chest, looking lazy, obviously Came here a long time ago.
"This..." Looking at the scene outside the door, Xue Wuwei hesitated to speak.
Smiling slightly, Zhang Gu said in a deep voice: "Actually, I took Ouyang Xu here when these five people appeared. It's just that you were only focused on the prince at that time and didn't notice the two of us."
"Later, we saw that you alone could handle the situation, so we didn't choose to come forward."
Xue Wuwei nodded slowly, not shocked by this statement. After all, with Zhang Gu's cultivation level, it would be strange if he didn't notice it at all.
After taking a deep look at Ouyang Xu and the group of Yingge guards, Zhang Guying said: "It's your honor to guard that kid tonight."
Ouyang Xu smiled and nodded without saying anything.
Zhang Gu turned his head and looked at Xue Wuwei and said, "Don't you always have a lot of doubts in your heart? Come with me."
…
After leaving Xiao Chen's small courtyard, Zhang Gu took Xue Wuwei to his residence. It was an extremely simple room with almost nothing else except tables, chairs, benches and beds.
After lighting an oil lamp, Zhang Gu pointed to the stool in the room and said, "Sit down wherever you like. I am born to like plain things. Even when I come to the post house, I am the same way. Don't dislike it."
Xue Wuwei quickly waved his hands and said: "Senior, what are you talking about? Wuwei is a man in the army. When marching and fighting, the situation is countless times more difficult than this, and he can't say a word more. How can he dare to dislike senior?"
Xue Wuwei is indeed a boring gourd at ordinary times, but that is also an arrogant temper cultivated by years of fighting, but facing Zhang Gu, Xue Wuwei naturally did not dare.
Sitting on the stool, Zhang Guying said: "I know you want to ask about Xiao Chen's situation, and I called you here this time for this reason."
Zhang Gu usually looks like a harmonious old man, always wearing a kind smile, but this time he showed a solemn expression for the first time. Xue Wuwei knew that this matter was definitely not simple, so he nodded heavily. : "Senior, please tell me, if you are not fearful, you must keep your mouth shut."
Nodding, Zhang Gu continued: "Ouyang Xu and I have been guarding outside the courtyard for a long time, but even when I saw you in a tight siege and the prince was in danger, I didn't let Ouyang Xu take action. Do you know why?"
Xue Wuwei pondered for a moment, then suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Could it be that it's because of the prince..."
"Yeah!" Zhang Gu nodded and said: "Actually, speaking of it, Xiao Chen has such a talent, which is beyond my expectation. I have never been able to figure it out before. The old man on Wudao Mountain who has seen through everything
The Heavenly Master was actually coerced down the mountain by thousands of black-armored troops. Now that I think about it, his eyes are more vicious than mine."
Xue Wuwei became more and more confused as he listened, and said: "Senior, Wuwei is stupid and I still don't know what you mean."
Zhang Gu smiled and said: "The Wuchenzi of Wu Dao Mountain is known as the Optimus Prime of the Tao Sect. He is considered to be the most senior person in the Tao Sect today. Although he does not look serious at ordinary times, his martial arts are all-powerful.
To learn, even I have to give in."
"In the past, there were three great masters in the martial arts world, and the world called them one immortal, one crazy, and one crazy. The swordsman Li Taibai was so superb in swordsmanship that one man could defeat thousands of armies and thousands of horses. He was the best of the three great masters. The foolish Buddha practiced enlightenment and sat in meditation alone.
For seventy years, he has been recognized as the best in internal power in the world! A madman who slaughtered blood like crazy, killed people like crazy, was cruel and ruthless, and had strong martial arts skills. After a battle with Xing Wu, he became possessed and was imprisoned in the Huainan dungeon by the former Huainan king Zhao Zhan. He was also recently captured by Li
Let that kid out, Luo."
"These three people can be regarded as the three great mountains in the martial arts world. After the death of Xing Wu Chuan Gong and Li Luo, there are only two of the three great mountains."
"But what the world doesn't know is that Wu Chenzi from the Enlightenment Mountain has actually been able to enter the realm of a master without ever entering."
Xue Wuwei asked doubtfully: "Why is this? Furthermore, is there any connection between him and the prince's changes today?"
Zhang Gu continued: "After the three flowers gather at the top, it is the realm of the master, also known as the realm of human immortality. If this person has an extra word for immortal, is he still a human?"
"Wuchenzi is indeed a stubborn old guy. This can be seen from the fact that he has stayed at Wudao Mountain for decades. He is unwilling to step into the realm of a master. In the end, the reason is still because of that immortal word."
"How can you be so cool as a human being? Why do you envy immortals?"
Xue Wuwei seemed to understand a little and murmured: "The state of mind of these seniors is indeed beyond our ability to fathom."
Zhang Gu smiled softly and said: "If you are not bound by worldly killings, with your qualifications, it is not impossible to become a grandmaster in the future."
Xue Wuwei scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Senior is so complimentary."
Zhang Gu shook his head and said: "There are many strange things in the world, but there are many things that can only be mastered after reaching a certain level. As far as I know, there are three major rumors. One is that the qi-watchers have reached a great level of cultivation. Not only can they
Changing one person's destiny can also change the destiny of the world. The second is that there is a "Tao" besides martial arts. This Tao is extremely mysterious and can reach the sky in one step. The third is that it is an unpredictable resource. If you don't discover it, your life will be mediocre.
Impermanence, discovery will make great strides every day, and the future is limitless."
"Three rumors, I have never seen them in my life, but when I saw Xiao Chen today, I suddenly understood that I might have witnessed the birth of a miracle. That Wuchenzi was much smarter than me.
You can see it, but you don't say anything."
Xue Wuwei suddenly realized: "So you mean that what the prince has is the unpredictable talent?"
Zhang Gu nodded and said: "Otherwise, how can we explain that he has never practiced martial arts, but today he can burst out with an aura that is comparable to the peak strength of his true self?"
Xue Wuwei frowned, yes, this is really unbelievable. Martial arts obviously requires one step at a time to grow over time, but the changes in his own prince cannot be explained by normal logic.
Zhang Gu took a deep breath and said: "No matter what, this is Xiao Chen's biggest secret. He shoulders Yong'an and has a heavy responsibility. If it is leaked, it will attract more people's attention. It is definitely not a good thing for him, and may even be malicious.
People with good intentions are still unknown, and the matter is very important, so I won't let Ouyang Xu come to help you. And I also need you to keep today's secret and never let it outside, do you understand?"
Talking about Xiao Chen, Xue Wuwei nodded heavily: "Senior, don't worry, I will keep this matter secret, but..."
With a look of worry on his face, Xue Wuwei said: "The assassin also knows about this change. If he leaks it..."
As if he had anticipated Xue Wuwei's worries, Zhang Gu said calmly: "When that person left, I used my secret power to destroy his meridians. He would die in a moment at most, so there is no need to worry."
Xue Wuwei finally nodded in relief, bowed to Zhang Gu and said, "Wuwei is here. I would like to thank you, senior, for the prince."
Waving his hand, Zhang Gu murmured: "I have no children in my life, and I have already regarded him as my grandson. It is understandable that grandpa does something for his grandson. How can I say thank you?"
Nodding, Xue Wuwei said solemnly: "Then what should we do now?"
Zhang Gu took a deep breath and said: "Xiao Chen's situation is the first time in history. We can't help him, we can only look at him."
"But compared to his changes, what I'm more worried about is his current situation. He's surrounded by enemies on all sides. It's not going to be easy for him at this stage."
Hearing this, Xue Wuwei said with determination on his face: "Senior, don't worry, as long as I, Xue Wuwei, am here, I will not let the prince suffer any harm."
Smiling and nodding, Zhang Gu waved his hand and said, "That's all, you go down first!"
"Yes!" Xue Wuwei bowed his hands and slowly left the place.
After Xue Wuwei left, Zhang Gu slowly walked outside the house. Looking at the full moon in the sky, Zhang Gu looked up to the sky thoughtfully and murmured:
"Since everyone is here, let's come out and meet them."
A response came quickly in the dark night: "Senior is really awesome, junior admires me."
Looking in the direction where the voice came from, I saw a man wearing a green Taoist robe coming out of the air. The man was carrying two long swords behind him. One was ordinary and nothing special, while the other was.
It is made of peach wood, and the hilt is carved with many mysterious patterns and characters, which look mottled against the moonlight and full of the atmosphere of time.
