"Ah! This uncanny craftsmanship, this real touch..."
He had a look of intoxication on his face, as if he was possessed by a demon.
His hands touched the body of the statue of Hades, and Gu Chen vaguely saw a dark light flowing in his palms. The entire arm was slowly withering, and the blood in his body was absorbed by the statue of Hades.
Swish.
Gu Chen reacted almost immediately, pressed Jiang Buju's shoulder with one hand and pulled him away from the statue of Hades.
"Let me go! Don't stop me!"
Jiang Buzhou struggled for a while, as if he was completely crazy.
"Master Jiang, wake up!"
Gu Chen frowned and slapped him on the face.
Snap!
The severe pain on his cheek made Jiang Buzhuo wake up quickly, with a confused look on his face. "Fellow Daoist Gu, what just happened? Why does my face hurt so much?"
Gu Chen had a strange look on his face, and his heart was filled with ripples.
Those statues were so evil that Jiang Buzhuo fell into them unknowingly and lost himself.
If he hadn't been there, I don't know what would have happened.
Gu Chen truthfully told Jiang Buzhuo about the abnormality just now. When he heard that, his eyes were stern, and when he looked at the statues again, he felt like he was seeing snakes and scorpions.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, let's find the imprisoned person as soon as possible and get out of here as soon as possible!"
Unknown things have always been the most frightening, and Jiang Buzhuo no longer had the slightest interest in these statues of extraordinary workmanship.
Gu Chen nodded, and the two of them continued to move forward.
This floor looks like a temple, except that there are a large number of statues standing on both sides, and strange patterns are carved on the walls, the ground and even the ceiling.
The whole temple is weird and gloomy, and a bone-piercing chill is always present here.
The two reached the end and soon found their target.
It was an old man with disheveled hair and dirty body.
He seemed to be tied to a stone tablet, with both arms wrapped in chains, and the chains extended to the two stone pillars on both sides of the hall.
His sternum was also chained, and some of the blood stains on the collar on his chest were already dry and some were still bright red. This shows that he was most likely imprisoned in other places before being imprisoned here.
Looking at him like that, it was obvious that he had suffered inhuman torture for a long time.
"What's wrong, Huangfu Wuji? It's only been a few days and you came to see me again. Do you want to transfer me again? My kid, have you become like a rat crossing the street?"
Hearing the sound of someone approaching, the old man raised his head, revealing a pair of cloudy old eyes.
At this moment, his pupils suddenly shrank like needles!
The person in front of him was not Huangfu Wuji, but two people he had never seen before, an old man and a young man.
His eyes were attracted by the young man's face almost instantly, with shock, confusion and excitement in his eyes.
"I'm not Huangfu Wuji."
Gu Chen looked at the old man in front of him and said with an indifferent expression.
With a sweep of his consciousness, he discovered that the old man had no cultivation at all. There seemed to be hidden wounds in his chest and abdomen that had not healed for many years. He could be said to be a cripple.
A useless person, Huangfu Wuji actually went to great lengths to imprison him in the last floor of the Hades Tower. What did he mean?
"You...what's your name?"
The old man looked straight at Gu Chen, and his voice was trembling.
So similar.
The other person's appearance reminded him of himself when he was young, and those long-standing memories seemed to be awakened at this moment.
"It's you who have to answer my question."
Gu Chen didn't know where this man came from, and didn't want to tell him the truth, with an indifferent look on his face.
"So similar, so similar! What's your last name? How old are you? Do you have any relatives at home?"
But the old man got excited and tried hard to break free from the chains and rushed towards Gu Chen.
His eyes were completely red, and there seemed to be tears shining in them, like crazy.
"What does this have to do with you?"
Gu Chen frowned. This person asked him a lot of sensitive questions inexplicably. How could he answer him?
"If you know the truth, answer honestly. We need to know your origins and why you are here!"
Jiang Buzhuo scolded, and at the same time whispered to Gu Chen, "Gu Daoyou, this person has no cultivation at all, and he looks crazy. Why don't we leave him alone and let's leave here?"
The many statues of Hades here were really creepy, and Jiang Buzhou didn't want to stay there for a moment longer.
Gu Chen signaled him to stop talking, and then walked forward.
The old man's strange reaction made him a little confused. With his keen senses, he could detect that the other person was full of emotions at this moment, including excitement, joy and fear, but there was no malice.
"My surname is Gu Mingyuan, and I have been imprisoned by Huangfu Wuji for decades!"
The old man realized that his excitement was not helpful at the moment, so he took the initiative and introduced himself honestly.
"Gu Yuan?"
Gu Chen looked shocked, and his heart was filled with waves.
His eyes couldn't help but fall on the old man's chest. The chest that was tightly clasped by chains was obviously incomplete, as if something was missing.
"Could it be..."
Gu Chen was in disbelief.
Seeing the obvious change in this young man's mood when he heard his name, Gu Yuan burst into tears!
"My child, are you my relative? What is your father's name?"
He was like a helpless old man who longed to know the whereabouts of his relatives. He was so worried that he had not told anyone about it for countless years.
"My father's name is Gu Tianming." Gu Chen blurted out.
"Tianming, Tianming..."
Gu Yuan murmured repeatedly, and two lines of tears fell from his old and shriveled face at some point.
This name was exactly what he had considered naming his son when his wife was pregnant.
He originally thought he would have plenty of time to think of a name for his son, but he didn't expect an accident to happen after that. He and his wife were separated, and he was trapped in a dark dungeon for a long time.
"Your grandma, she has..."
Gu Yuan's heart was trembling and his voice was extremely hoarse.
"I have never met my grandma. My grandpa passed away early. My grandma raised my father alone. She became ill from overwork and missed my grandpa, so she passed away very early."
Gu Chen said truthfully, although the man in front of him was extremely old, his youthful demeanor could be vaguely seen from his facial features.
"Dead, Guan Guan, is she already dead?"
Gu Yuan showed a look of extreme pain on his face and asked again, "Where is your father? Where is he now?"
Gu Chen looked at the old man who was in extreme pain. Although he couldn't believe it in his heart, he had already confirmed his identity.
"My father was hunted by his enemies, and his life and death are unknown now."
Life or death unknown!
This sentence made the old man even more painful. His eyes turned red, as if the emotions that had been suppressed for many years burst out at this moment.
"Huangfu Wuji, you caused my wife to be separated and left me with eternal regrets. I hate it, I hate it!"
He looked up to the sky and roared. At this moment, he was affected by strong emotions, and something seemed to break out of the ground with difficulty!
boom--
A holy and powerful domineering force that originated from Gu Chen crazily overflowed from the old man's body, and a young and new golden bone grew out of his incomplete chest!
The phoenix has been reborn after hundreds of calamities. After decades of silence and forbearance, the old man finally broke through and stood up again!
