Everyone shared the information they had collected, and most of them were optimistic about the current situation in the Taoist world.
Gu Chen listened to everyone's opinions, most of the time his face was thoughtful, and occasionally there was a look of confusion in his eyes.
The Nine Great Courts control the Hongmeng Dao Principle. In Gu Chen's view, this is equivalent to being recognized by the Sea of Chaos and mastering the Seal of the Emperor of Heaven.
In this case, the Jiudaoting has absolute strength, so why should it indulge the heroes of the Hongmeng Taoist world?
In Gu Chen's view, a unified Taoist world is definitely more conducive to the development of civilization. The approach of the Nine Great Courts is contrary to common sense, unless there are some deep-seated reasons behind it...
After much deliberation, he still couldn't figure it out. Gu Chen laughed dumbly and simply forgot about it.
He has just entered the Taoist world and has no understanding of all the forces involved. What's the use of thinking about it?
As he gradually understands the world, sooner or later the truth will come to light.
The crowd continued to communicate, and Gu Chen noticed that Fang Shijie in the crowd was silent, with occasional hesitation on his face.
Fang Shijie seemed to be brought back from his thoughts by Gu Chen's words. After a serious look on his face, he bowed seriously.
"Your Majesty, Emperor of Heaven, please forgive me. There is something that I have never told you."
As soon as he said this, everyone stopped talking and looked at him in surprise.
"What's going on?" Gu Chen was also quite surprised.
"A hundred years ago, my father asked me to participate in the battle of the Chaos Soul List. In fact, he secretly made arrangements for my future after entering the world."
Fang Shijie's words greatly aroused everyone's interest, and Feng Yaya said casually: "Although the Fang family has some connections with the Hongmeng Taoist world, how long ago did that happen? Is your father still so capable?"
A bitter smile appeared on Fang Shijie's lips: "When our Fang family was expelled from the lower world countless years ago, the ancestors of the Fang family were not willing to accept it. They focused on reviving the family lintel. And before the lower world, in order to leave a hope for future generations, they even secretly
Made some arrangements.”
"oh?"
Gu Chen's eyes narrowed, completely attracted by these words.
"My father told me these things. Before going to the Jiehai ferry a hundred years ago, my father gave me a token, asking me to find an opportunity to seek refuge in Pechaoluomen after entering the Taoist world."
Fang Shijie said, solemnly took out something from his arms and handed it to Gu Chen with both hands.
This was an antique bronze mirror. Gu Chen looked at it for a moment but did not take it.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Fang Shijie explained awkwardly: "This matter should have been explained to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven before entering the Taoist world. However, a long time has passed and the backup left by the ancestors may not still be there, so..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Chen shook his head. "You misunderstood, I don't care about this."
Fang Shijie obviously had something to hide in this matter. Before crossing the sea, he handed over the Fang family's inherited secrets and did not mention the token.
Gu Chen knew about his little thoughts, but he also understood that this was human nature.
Although he had raised Fang Shijie in the past hundred years, it was not because of kindness, but because of Fang Yuan's existence.
Fang Shijie also knew this in his heart, so he was naturally worried that he would be killed by him after he lost his use value.
Handing over the Fang family's inheritance was a risky move. Gu Chen originally just wanted to get a glimpse of the secrets of the Fang family's secrets and find a way to deal with Fang Yuan.
Fang Shijie was very smart. He was afraid that if he handed over his inheritance and it would be useless, Gu Chen would regret not taking him on the ship, so he hid the token.
In this way, if he regrets it after obtaining the Fang family's secret knowledge, he can still use the token as a bargaining chip.
And if he is lucky enough to get on the ship and reach the boundary sea, he will have two choices about how to deal with the token.
The first is to conceal the matter, and after arriving in the Taoist world, he will find an opportunity to break away from Gu Chen and pursue the opportunity left by his ancestors.
The second is like this, when everything is revealed, Fang Shijie obviously chose the latter.
Since he chose the latter, Gu Chen would not care about his little thoughts.
"The token was left by your father, and the chance belongs to your Fang family. Why should I give this token to you?"
Seeing Fang Shijie's nervous look, Gu Chen explained with a smile.
Fang Shijie was moved for a moment. After entering the Taoist world, he had been struggling with whether to tell Gu Chen about this. On the one hand, he was worried that he would be on guard against him or even turn against him, and on the other hand, he did have his own little thoughts.
He carries his father's last wish and the Fang family's hopes on his shoulders. If he has the opportunity to let the Fang family flourish in his own hands, why would he be willing to give up the opportunity to others?
What he was worried about was that Gu Chen would steal his opportunity, but after thinking about it again and again, he decided to tell Gu Chen the matter.
For one thing, it would be difficult for him to survive alone in the Taoist world by himself. It is hard to say whether he will ever find an opportunity.
Secondly, he witnessed Gu Chen suppressing the dark turmoil by himself, and he had inexplicable confidence in him, believing that he would definitely help him take revenge on Fang Yuan.
He had been thinking about it for many days and finally decided to tell it all today. He was actually prepared to be scolded by Gu Chen and even lose the opportunity of the Fang family.
However, what he didn't expect was that Gu Chen didn't care about it at all and let himself keep the token.
Fang Shijie looked at his frankness, his whole face turned red, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
It was he who judged a gentleman with a villain's heart, underestimated Gu Chen, and belittled himself!
"His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven is so magnanimous that his subordinates are ashamed of themselves."
Fang Shijie withdrew his hand and held the ancient mirror tightly, feeling mixed emotions.
"You have already come to the Taoist world, so don't call me His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven anymore. You can call me whatever they call me."
"Also, since you have followed me, we are all brothers, so you don't have to be so restrained and don't have to think too much."
Gu Chen said calmly.
"I understand, leader!"
Fang Shijie nodded heavily, and the burden in his heart for many days was finally gone.
Everyone quickly started talking around the Fang family’s tokens.
"Pei Chao Luomen, is this Pei Chao related to Pei State?" Wuming guessed.
Pei Dynasty and Pei Kingdom sound too much like the same thing.
"I also doubt this. If so, then Luomen shouldn't be too far away."
Fang Shijie said excitedly, he was full of expectations for the arrangements of his ancestors, and he couldn't wait to go to Naluomen immediately.
"This Luomen should be a sect. It has been so long, and the arrangements left by the Fang family ancestors may not be able to be fulfilled."
"It's not advisable to rush this matter. As we originally agreed, let's settle down in this city first and get familiar with the conditions of the Taoist world."
Gu Chen thought carefully and said that everyone agreed with this cautious approach. Even though Fang Shijie was looking forward to it, he also knew that there was no rush.
So everyone stayed in the city as foreigners, integrated into the lives of the people in the city, and solved the problem of acclimatization.
