Gu Chen had an in-depth conversation with Ye Qingshuang, and what he learned was a bizarre story that he could not have imagined.
The man in the hat, together with his master and apprentice Ye Qingshuang, had been searching for him for a year. In addition, there was another person who also participated.
This person was no stranger to him. He was actually the black dog who had been separated for several years after leaving the Ancient Immortal Tower.
At that time, Black Dog said that he had some personal matters to deal with and would be back soon. Who would have thought that after leaving, he would never hear anything from him again.
From Ye Qingshuang's words, Gu Chen half understood and half guessed the whole story.
Long before Black Dog met him, he was a powerful Immortal Realm dog demon, known as Lord Black Wind.
It's just that he had an argument with Qiu Mengyi back then, and his body was accidentally taken away by her. His soul was sealed in an ordinary puppy, and most of his cultivation was lost.
This was the reason why Gu Chen felt that Black Dog's soul was extremely powerful but his cultivation was low.
While in the Ancient Immortal Tower, Black Dog learned the ancient soul method with Tang Ning's help, thus releasing the seal on his own soul.
After that, it said it had to deal with some private matters, mainly to find Qiu Mengyi and get her true body back.
In addition, the reason why he and Qiu Mengyi celebrated the festival that year was the split soul of the man in the hat, and that split soul was also his target.
Before Black Dog left, he said that he would give Gu Chen a surprise when he came back. That surprise must be the split soul of the man in the hat, because at that time the two were investigating the secret of the man in the hat. For this reason, Gu Chen even refined the ancient demon soul jade.
Who would have thought that Black Dog spent too much time searching for Qiu Mengyi. During this period, the situation in the entire starry sky had changed drastically, and the man in the hat died in the God Realm.
After that, the story quickly developed in a bizarre direction. The man in the hat awakened a ray of separated soul consciousness, and he was so eloquent that he successfully persuaded the three people to take him to find Gu Chen.
You must know that Black Dog's hometown was destroyed by the Man in the Hat, and it is simply unimaginable for him to cooperate with him. And Black Dog and Qiu Mengyi have a holiday, so it is even more incredible that the two sides can cooperate.
They were unrelated people, but they embarked on a journey to find someone together. No matter how big his mind was, Gu Chen never expected such a thing.
The four people's journey to find Gu Chen was doomed to fail, because at that time Gu Chen lived in seclusion on the pale ancient star, and the ancient star had completely deviated from its original position due to man-made reasons. How easy was it to find it in the vast starry sky?
During the conversation, Gu Chen noticed that the time when the man in the hat started to look for him coincided with the time when he had frequent nightmares about him, and his heart sank.
Is this a coincidence?
If not, it means that the man in the hat can influence his mind across the vast starry sky, and even appear in his dreams.
How did he do it?
Gu Chen knew that he could not do such a thing with the strength of a soul in a hat. The only explanation was that he had some hidden dangers.
This made him feel like there was a light on his back, and the ghost of the man in the hat was still lingering. He was looking for himself, fearing that it could not be for such a great cause as he said, to save the Ninth Realm!
"What happened after you couldn't find me? How did you end up here at Mount Sumeru?"
Gu Chen took a breath and continued to ask Ye Qingshuang.
"Master agreed to the person in the hat to look for you with certain conditions. One of them was that the person in the hat would tell her the secret of condensing the origin of the soul."
"That is the goal that Master has been pursuing all his life, and the man in the hat has reached that state before, and said that there is another way to help Master break through, so Master is moved."
Ye Qingshuang's words were a bit shaky when she talked about this. Although what she said was true, she concealed some details of the original transaction between the two parties and did not want Gu Chen to know.
Gu Chen didn't notice anything strange about her, and just listened carefully.
"After failing to find you, Master asked the man in the hat to fulfill his promise, and the shortcut he mentioned to condense the origin of the soul was Mount Sumeru."
"He said that Mount Sumeru condenses the faith of countless living beings throughout the Western Sky Star Region. With the help of this abundant power of faith, it is possible to condense the origin of the soul."
"He didn't say the specific method. He only promised to be honest and honest after reaching Mount Sumeru and personally help the master break through. Who would have thought..."
Ye Qingshuang shook her head and smiled bitterly when she said this.
"Did your master get tricked by the man in the hat in the end?"
Gu Chen asked unsurprisingly, with the cunning and cunning of the man in the hat, especially his understanding of people's hearts, how could Qiu Mengyi not suffer a loss?
Qiu Mengyi was so obsessed with breakthroughs that she did not hesitate to take any risks. This was seen through by the man in the hat, and he was naturally eaten to death.
This has nothing to do with being smart or stupid, it's just caused by the greed of the human heart.
"When we sneaked into the Great Leiyin Temple, we underestimated the level of protection here. In the end, we were discovered by the eminent monks of the Great Leiyin Temple and captured it with the help of Mount Sumeru."
"When Master was fighting with Abbot Ruochen, the man in the hat took the opportunity to escape. Master has always been worried about this, thinking that the man in the hat deliberately let us be discovered, because he did not intend to tell the master the method of breakthrough from the beginning. Even
Therefore, Master suspects that the method of breakthrough does not exist at all, and it is just an excuse to coax her to help. "
Gu Chen looked thoughtful. Considering the despicable character of the man in the hat, Qiu Mengyi's guess was indeed possible.
However, it would be too much trouble to get rid of Qiu Mengyi all the way to Xumishanbu. With the wisdom of the man in the hat, there should be a simpler way.
Gu Chen's eyes gradually narrowed as he thought about it, he finally connected the whole thing!
The members of the Pure Spirit Demon Realm gathered in Mount Xumi. This was just a follow-up to the action of the man in the hat a year ago.
He definitely didn't enter Mount Sumeru to help Qiu Mengyi, but he had other ulterior secrets!
But he didn't expect that the operation unexpectedly failed, so he evacuated and came back again a year later.
What on earth does the man in the hat want to do in Daleiyin Temple?
When he makes a comeback at this time, does he already have the confidence to implement his plan?
Gu Chen's heart was filled with ripples, and he asked about the whereabouts of the black dog, and learned that it had escaped from the Great Leiyin Temple with the man in the hat.
"If we can find the black dog, maybe we can figure out what the man in the hat wants to do."
"No matter what the purpose of the man in the bamboo hat is, the water in Mount Xumi is far deeper than I thought. It seems that it is time for him to be born..."
Gu Chen murmured to himself, preparing for a rainy day.
"Gu Chen, no matter what the man in the hat wants to do, I always feel that it has something to do with you. You must be careful."
After Ye Qingshuang told the whole story, she didn't know what Gu Chen thought. She bit her lips and said softly.
Gu Chen came back to his senses, nodded with a smile and said: "Thank you for telling me these things. I have already made a judgment in my heart. Now that everything is clear, I will ask the Great Leiyin Temple to let them give you your freedom. You alone
It’s hard enough for a girl to be stuck here for a whole year.”
His words became relaxed. In any case, Ye Qingshuang had a special relationship with him, so he would definitely help her with this favor.
