Gu Xu stood motionless, quietly digesting this massive amount of information.
He frowned and his eyes were extremely solemn.
"Gu Xu, are you okay?" Shi Xiaohan next to him glanced at him worriedly and gently tugged on his sleeve.
"I'm fine." Gu Xu took a deep breath and finally came to his senses.
The information Kong Xuan Sanren poured into his mind was too shocking.
He never expected that in the past few years, Kongxuan Sanren would turn into the most mysterious and terrifying "third evil god" after his ascension failed, and he would formulate a huge and thorough plan. , trying to be promoted to become the Ghost King.
The plan was carried out quietly around him.
But he was completely unaware of this.
Even, he would involuntarily forget some key things under the influence of Kongxuan Sanren's cause and effect technique.
This made Gu Xu deeply scared.
He held the "Divine Machine Token" in his pocket and tried to contact "Kun" Chu Fengge and "Linghu" Shangguan Jin with his mind, but found that the "Divine Machine Token" had no response at all. , as if turned into an ordinary copper block.
Not far away, the eldest prince Xiao Shangzhen and his personal attendant Fan Cheng also took out magic weapons one after another and tried to use various means to ask for help from the outside world, but they were in despair. With such a look on his face, he obviously didn’t succeed either.
As expected, Kongxuan Sanren has cut off Qingzhou Mansion’s connection with the outside world.
According to Kongxuan Sanren, in the next period of time, the "Nine Infant Snake Demon" will slaughter wantonly in Qingzhou Prefecture until one hundred thousand souls can be gathered as sacrifices to help him Promoted to become the "Ghost King".
This made Gu Xu feel even heavier.
The horrific scene of the "Nine Infant Snake Demon" devouring the original owner's parents eight years ago is still vivid in my mind now.
His boss Chen Jisheng is still fighting nearby.
His colleagues are either still on duty at the Yamen, or are still resting at home to spend time with their families.
In this horrific disaster, they are likely to become one of the one hundred thousand sacrifices.
Gu Xu has never felt his weakness so deeply as he did today.
In this place isolated from the outside world, his and Shi Xiaohan's life and death depended on Kong Xuan Sanren's thoughts.
With his current strength, he may not even be able to protect himself.
Not to mention stopping Kong Xuan Sanren’s plan.
While Gu Xu was thinking hard about how to break the situation, the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan next to him suddenly looked at the clones of Kongxuan Sanren and said with a panic: "You... what exactly do you want to do? ? But...can you let us go first? I'm just an insignificant intruder..."
Perhaps because of his nervousness, the eldest prince's words sounded a little incoherent.
After hearing what he said, the white-bearded old man saidHe smiled and said: "What if I let you go back and you go tell others about it?"
"I swear, I will never tell anyone about what happened here!" Xiao Shangyuan said without thinking. . His words became smoother instantly.
"Even if Qingzhou Mansion is destroyed, even if the people of Qingzhou Mansion suffer countless casualties due to the rampage of the 'Nine Infant Snake Monster', you will not tell anyone about it?" The white-bearded old man slowed down. He spoke quickly and asked in a playful tone.
"I promise not!" Xiao Shangyuan said firmly.
The white-bearded old man couldn't help laughing: "I never expected that the son of Emperor Tianxing would be such a person who is afraid of death..."
Speaking of this , he waved his hand gently, and Xiao Shangyuan and Fan Cheng beside him instantly passed out and fell to the ground.
At the same time, he said casually: "What two troublesome guys!"
Fan Cheng, a monk in the sixth realm, and Xiao Shangyuan, a monk in the fifth realm who also practices the "Dragon Heart Sutra", In front of Kongxuan Sanren who turned into a ghost, he was completely powerless to resist.
Seeing such a scene, Gu Xu pursed his lips into a straight line.
Shi Xiaohan next to him exclaimed and couldn't help but take a step back, without any color on his face.
At this time, the eyes of the white-bearded old man and the other eight clones fell on Gu Xu again.
The hunchbacked old man took the lead and said with a smile: "Boy named Gu, you should have understood the whole story now!"
The middle-aged man performing the "rat show" While playing with the mouse in his hand, he said calmly: "As our descendant, you happen to appear in front of us on an auspicious day like today... Should this be said to be our destiny?" < /p>
The white-bearded old man waved his fly whisk and said with a smile: "Everything in the world has a cause and effect. Perhaps now is the time to hand over our true inheritance to you!"
Gu Xu looked at them with alert eyes: "You...what do you want me to do?"
His intuition told him that what Kong Xuan Sanren wanted him to do was definitely not a good thing.
"After reading our story, you may already know that there are problems with the practice methods in this world," the old white-bearded Taoist said slowly, "The ninth realm [the path to immortality] is essentially A lie."
Gu Xu remained silent.
He has long felt that the name Ninth Realm is incompatible with other realms such as "Ghost Pass" and "Huangquan Road".
How could there be a road leading to the fairy world in the deepest part of the underworld?
It sounds very unreasonable.
Now, Kongxuan Sanren seems to have confirmed through personal experience that the so-called "way to immortality" is indeed a scam.
"This world filled with gloomy energy is itself a world of ghosts and monsters," the hunchbacked old man stepped forward.Taking a step forward, he said, "The human race is just an alien among them."
"The human race needs to rely on elixirs to practice and live towards death. If you are not careful, you will become obsessed and your body will die."
"But ghosts only need to follow their instincts and devour humans or their own kind to continue to grow stronger."
The white-bearded old man also followed up and said: "Everything in this world is The so-called great avenues, such as the 'way of cause and effect', 'the way of runes', 'the way of killing'... are just heresy.
"Only by transforming into a ghost can one lead to the peak of power. the true path. ”
After he finished speaking, the old man with a white beard waved his whisk lightly, and then a gray light sank into Gu Xu’s forehead.
A complex article suddenly appeared in Gu Xu’s mind. The practice method——
It is the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique" that he mentioned many times in his notes.
"My successor, this is what I want to give to you. A true inheritance." A kind smile appeared on the white-bearded old man's face. "I think that with your talent far beyond ordinary people, as long as you are willing to practice this spell seriously, I'm afraid it won't be long before you can stand here with me. The pinnacle of the world. ”
