Under the leadership of Gu Song, the three of them came to the door of a red brick and blue tiled building in the manor. There was a gold plaque on the door that read 'Gu Family Ancestral Hall'.
There was a restriction on the gate of the ancestral hall. Gu Song used the ring on his hand to unlock the restriction, and the two vermilion wooden doors opened automatically.
The three of them filed in, first burning incense and worshiping in front of the ancestor's tablet, and then led by Gu Song to the back hall of the ancestral hall.
"Nephew Changsheng, please join the formation!" By the candlelight, Gu Song pointed to a small magic circle on the ground in front of him and said to Gu Changsheng.
From the moment he entered the door, Gu Changsheng noticed the formation diagram here. After a few glances, he roughly understood the clues hidden in the back hall. There was a large illusion formation here!
Gu Ming mentioned this formation in his letter. As long as he uses the Qinglan Ring in his hand, he can pass through the formation and enter the secret room that contains the core secrets of the Gu family.
Gu Changsheng did not hesitate and walked into the formation. Soon his figure became crooked until he disappeared.
After walking in the mist for about a quarter of an hour, Gu Changsheng came to a very peculiar hall. It was a very large cylindrical room with a diameter of seven to eight feet from left to right and a height of two to three feet. The green rock walls around it were inlaid with
The glowing crystals and a thin layer of white mist on the ground make the entire hall look neat and mysterious.
Gu Changsheng was looking curiously at the top of the hall. There were white stalactites hanging upside down there, densely covering the entire dome. This was actually a secret room transformed from a stalactite cave.
There are several rows of cabinets around the hall. The stone walls above three of the cabinets are engraved with the word "qi", the word "dan" and the word "福" respectively. The top of the remaining cabinet is empty without any markings.
No.
There was no one in the hall at this time. After Gu Changsheng glanced at it, he hesitated a little and walked towards the cabinet with the word "Qi" engraved on it.
"who!"
A feeling of being spied on suddenly appeared in his heart, and Gu Changsheng's spirit immediately became tense.
He began to glance outside the cabinet, trying to find some clues about the peepers.
The surrounding luminous crystals were still bright, while several long stalactites not far away began to squirm, as if they suddenly came to life.
This is ecstasy!
Gu Changsheng immediately concentrated on reciting the incantation, pinching the magic formula in his hand and changing his hand shape rapidly.
"break!"
The surrounding scene immediately returned to normal.
Gu Changsheng swept his eyes and caught up with the red light group that he was trying to avoid. At this time, the light group was desperately trying to drill into a white cloth covering something. It seemed that there was something behind the white cloth that could hide it.
stand up.
Soon the white cloth moved, and then slid to the ground. A tall man came into Gu Changsheng's eyes. He was a middle-aged man wearing a gray cloak.
Gu Changsheng was a little surprised, but the other party just stood there and took no further action. He could only put on a defensive posture and figure out the other party's intentions first.
The two sides were facing each other like this, and the more Gu Changsheng looked at him, the more he felt that the other party looked familiar!
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly woke up and slowly said:
"If I'm not wrong, you made Gu Ming's body into this puppet. I'm not wrong!"
The middle-aged man was trembling a little, staring at Gu Changsheng with flickering eyes, and his eyes gradually dimmed.
"I didn't expect that the person I wanted to seize would be caught first. It's really God's fate!" The middle-aged man seemed to accept his fate and did not make any excuses. He told an even more surprising news.
"Now that we've talked about it, can you please be more frank and tell me the whole story directly to save everyone the trouble of talking." Gu Changsheng didn't show the slightest fear when he heard this and was still calm and calm.
of.
The middle-aged man did not respond. At this moment, his heart was like a turbulent sea.
Looking at the lukewarm look on the other side, he felt chilled in his heart and felt that a disaster was imminent.
This was an intuition he gradually strengthened through constant battles.
Over the long years, he has experienced the power of many powerful opponents, and even had part of his soul devoured by his friends, losing most of his mana.
The remaining strength at this time can barely be regarded as a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, and does not have much lethality.
But the young man in front of him, who was only at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, made him feel fearful, which was really strange.
His intuition has always been very accurate. The soul hidden in this young body is extremely dangerous.
Even though the opponent's cultivation level is not high, he may be holding a high-level magic talisman in his hand, which can crush him to ashes at any time.
Now that your intentions have been exposed, the best thing to do is to lure each other with benefits and seek cooperation. Don't argue with the other party to avoid unnecessary fights.
"Speak! First tell me who you are, and then tell me everything about your entanglement with Gu Ming. I can listen to your story slowly." Gu Changsheng said expressionlessly,
There was no sign of any emotional fluctuations.
"Ahem! Speaking of which, I am also a victim."
The middle-aged man wanted to win Gu Changsheng's sympathy as soon as he opened his mouth, but when he saw that Gu Changsheng was indifferent, he had no choice but to continue:
"I was originally a pill-forming monk,..."
The middle-aged man's name is Ye Xuan. He describes himself as a poor man who was forced to find someone to seize his body after his body was destroyed. He puts all the responsibility on his former friend, Taiqing Patriarch.
Naturally, Gu Changsheng would not completely believe what he said, but he could still deduce five or six points of the truth from it.
"How was Gu Ming killed by you? What do you want to do by lurking here?"
"There's nothing to explain. It's just that the three major families in Qingyuan City colluded with the Taiqing ancestors to rob the Gu family's business. Gu Ming couldn't resist the three families joining forces and wanted to ask me to be his backer, but my remnant soul happened to bump into him.
"Ye Xuan hesitated for a moment, and then told some of the truth while avoiding the most important things.
"Although Gu Ming is a mortal, his head wife is a monk. Why didn't you take her body and instead deliberately set this trap?" Gu Changsheng said with a smile.
"This...this, I didn't expect this woman to be so strong. She would rather blow herself up than let me take her body." He was a little embarrassed.
"Hmph! I'm afraid you didn't expect that she would be so heartless towards Gu Ming and wanted to die with her husband, so she lost the opportunity!"
"How come you know such details!?"
"Gu Ming has four beautiful concubines at home. How can his wife not hate him?"
"Ye Xun, when you got Gu Ming's body, you also got his memories, so you knew that he had a son with thunder and fire spiritual roots."
"According to your original plan, you would first use the news of the death of Gu Ming and his wife to trick his son back into this secret room. Before that, you would break the Gu family's formation and ambush here in advance."
"Then wait for the right opportunity, seize the body of his son, and become an immortal cultivator again. I'm right!"
Gu Changsheng expressed his judgment in one breath, with clear logic and reasonable inference.
Listening to this young man's words, Ye Xuan was speechless for a long time. He was obviously frustrated and sighed deeply.
"It seems that I should call you senior. Your intelligence is even higher than that of Taiqing Ancestor."
"You're right. I designed all of this. But I didn't expect that this kid's body would be taken away by you first. And you should have a powerful magic weapon on your body. Even if I attack with all my strength, it probably won't be you."
The opponent lost a lot of real energy."
Speaking of this, Ye Xuan changed his words and his tone suddenly became passionate:
"Gu Ming deserves to die, too. He is just a common man with no strength. He wants to be on an equal footing with me and call me brother and sister because of the protection of me and my wife. Is he worthy?"
"What's even more intolerable is that in order to please Ancestor Taiqing, he used despicable means to poison me. Me taking his body can only be regarded as his retribution!" Ye Xuan gritted his teeth and said, it seems that this
People are still brooding over the destruction of their Dharma bodies.
"You are an outsider. If you want to seize the Gu family's property, you need the help of someone who knows the inside story to make it easy."
"If you can help me find a body with spiritual roots, and with my help, you will be able to dominate Yuezhou. What do you think?"
Before Ye Xun finished speaking, Gu Changsheng's fingers just fell down, and then a red light rushed out, penetrating Gu Ming's body like thunder and lightning.
"ah!"
A red light ball flew out from the blazing flames, and Ye Xuan's screams were heard in the air. After his soul was burned by the flames, the red light on it dimmed a lot. It seemed that he was seriously injured now.
"You, you actually poisoned me and attacked me?" Ye Xun screamed at the top of his lungs, as if he still couldn't accept what had just happened.
"Why on earth did you want to kill me? Why?..."
Facing Gu Changsheng's ruthless attack, Ye Xuan questioned at the top of his lungs, his voice full of unwillingness. However, Gu Changsheng remained silent and controlled the talisman in the air and rushed towards the red light ball.
Soon after, Ye Xuan's voice gradually disappeared, and finally there was only a trace of humming left in the hall, and then it became completely quiet.
Gu Changsheng did not stop immediately, but activated his magic power to make the talisman ignite golden flames. Until the last remaining red light completely flew away, he put away the talisman and returned it to the wooden box.
At this time, Gu Changsheng said coldly:
"You made a mistake. I don't want to occupy Yuezhou, so I won't follow in your footsteps and believe in such unreasonable promises."
After watching Ye Xun's last trace of soul fire dissipate, Gu Changsheng turned around without hesitation and came to the burning corpse.
But at this moment, golden light spots gradually gathered on the dome, and finally turned into a golden light as thick as the mouth of a bowl, which directly entered Gu Changsheng's body.
