This is death from natural old age, and it is death caused by exhaustion of all vitality.

…

…

"absurd."

Gu Shen and Chu Ling just stood quietly in the cellar. After a long time, they both had the same idea at the same time.

Everything that happened before, and everything that's left now, is ridiculous.

Ian is dead, and so is Hooper.

There were just two people, one was lying in a pool of blood, and the other was sitting in a wheelchair.

At this moment, in this unknown cellar, only the taboo blueprints and incomplete ancient texts on the "Longevity Technique" are left... Only these cold dead objects can prove that Gu Shen's trip is not a true waste.

Come, at least he still has something to gain. But this was not his original intention when he came. When he first came to Central Continent, he just wanted to find a way to quickly connect the members of the Ancient Literature Society.

"Is this... the bad luck brought by Pluto?"

Gu Shen squatted in front of Ian's body, his voice a little complicated.

Ian's death was so dramatic that he couldn't help but suspect that it was precisely because of contact with him and the invisible bad luck that led to this catastrophe... If he had not come to Linz, this old guy might still be able to survive

Live a little longer.

However, the next person to be absorbed may be "Hollin" who rushes back to Linz.

In fact, Ian was not the only one affected by bad luck.

The biggest trouble is still with Gu Shen... First of all, the problem of linking to the Ancient Literature Society has not been solved at all. Ian taught himself a vivid lesson, never trust "strangers".

Fortunately, Chu Ling absorbed the "legacy" left by Ian. These spiritual messages were all garbled and out of order, but Ian probably would not have thought that Chu Ling's reading had nothing to do with the order, and she did not need to care about the order.

.

These "relics" are sufficient for deciphering ancient texts.

It just takes some time.

There are never shortcuts in this world.

This is true for deciphering ancient texts, and it is even more true for trying to restore the real connection between ancient texts. Ian's death made Gu Shen completely understand that this is not something that can be accomplished "overnight" at all. It is destined to be a long and hard work.

Even if you are the [key], you have to walk slowly step by step.

However, he has initially achieved his goal. At least he has harvested the "Rose of Wind" from Rhine City. In the days to come, Caroline Ye can be used as the first choice of "pillar supporter" in Central Continent.

All that's left are the bodies in the cellar.

This is not easy to handle.

…

…

It's a sunny and warm morning.

South of the small town of Linz, there is a public mausoleum area. Many extraordinary people came here to send white flowers of condolence specially used for funerals on one of the new monuments... The owner of this tombstone is named "Ian Leon."

Nader".

If the people who came to express condolences knew Ian's true identity, he was a remnant of the Ancient Literature Society.

Then they will not give flowers.

If members of the Ancient Literature Society knew that Ian was abusing the longevity technique and violating the moral bottom line.

Then they will no longer pay respect.

This is an "old man" who has lived for too long and finally forgot why he lived. He is both crazy and pitiful. Under the temptation of immortality, he finally wrote the word "ridiculous" on his life.

But, this doesn't seem to change anything.

Today, he dies among flowers and flowers, and still enjoys the high respect of countless people after his death.

Gu Shen was also at the funeral, but he stood at the very back... He had seen too many "life and death farewells" in the past few years, and attending funerals seemed to have become a common thing.

He watched all this silently, without any fluctuation in his heart.

It is meaningless to him to expose Ian. As an outsider, he will only cause countless troubles. Taking a step back and showing Ian's ugly face will also be a blow to the Ancient Literature Society.

After thinking for a long time in the cellar, he made a decision.

Preserving "Ian's" good name.

It's just that...the person lying in the coffin at this moment, being presented with flowers, saluted, and worshiped, is the innocent victim Hooper.

The real "Ian" has been burned completely.

Gu Shen explained to the public that Hooper, the disciple responsible for taking care of Ian, chose to go out and travel after his teacher passed away... No one would care about this young man, because in their view, Ian really died of old age.

"Mr. Xiao Gu, you don't seem to be sad."

There was another person at the end of the team with him, who was the high-level star envoy sent by the upper city to investigate the Huolin case.

The high-ranking star envoy checked Ian's body and confirmed that there was no problem before today's funeral.

"Lord Star Envoy, you are not sad either."

Gu Shen glanced at it and said calmly: "Human beings have different joys and sorrows... Do we have to squeeze out tears like them to prove our emotions?"

At the front, there were several students who had been rejected by Ian, looking sad and "sincerely affectionate."

For Gu Shen, who knew Ian's true identity, this scene was a bit funny. These guys were all rejected by Ian because of their poor qualifications.

If they can really enter the courtyard, they may be the next ones to be sucked out of life... I wonder if they will still be able to cry by then?

"Too."

The high-ranking star envoy smiled after hearing this.

He was not planning to cause trouble to Gu Shen on this matter.

The star envoy suddenly said: "Mr. Xiao Gu, when I left Shangcheng, I heard an interesting thing... Maybe you, a guest from Dongzhou, will be interested."

Gu Shen raised his eyebrows: "Why, did something big happen in the upper city related to Dongzhou?"

"It's not a big deal."

The Star Envoy said calmly: "Lu Nanjin got into a fight with one of the Four Sons of God, the Suzaku Divine Envoy, in front of the Tower of Origin. The Suzaku Divine Envoy's senior brother Qin Ye died in your Dongzhou, and the two of them fought.

It caused quite a stir.”

"..."

Gu Shen looked calm, but actually his heart thumped.

What senior sister meant by "taking a look" is indeed not that simple.

The status of the four divine sons of the Tower of Source is probably equivalent to that of the "Blessed Sons" of Guangming City. These four are carefully selected by the two gods and will be the future representatives of divine authority!

When the name Qin Ye came out, Gu Shen guessed the ending.

It's related to the old case back then, so the senior sister will definitely draw her sword, but if she meets the Fourth God Son now, the outcome may be disastrous.

"Lu Nanjin lost."

Sure enough, the high-ranking star envoy paused deliberately.

When he said this, there was a smile on his lips. He deliberately left it until now just to see Gu Shen's reaction.

The star envoy wanted to see surprise or disapproval on Gu Shen's face.

But in the end he was disappointed.

There was no movement on Gu Shen's face.

He asked calmly: "What happened next?"

"later?"

"She was not strong enough, and she was too far behind the Suzaku Divine Envoy. She was beaten until she vomited blood, suffered a huge defeat, and returned home defeated." The Star Envoy paused and smiled: "As far as I know, Lu Nanjin escaped from the Tower of Origin.

It was very embarrassing... The Suzaku Divine Envoy chased him all the way, and no one knows what happened next. I don't know if he has caught up now."

Beaten to the point of vomiting blood?

Gu Shen's eyes gradually became gloomy.
