Chapter 18 The Hand of Darkness

It was not difficult to break through the situation in front of him, but it was the deep meaning behind these old men that made Gu Xiuyun suspicious.

Although the Alchemy Pagoda is the secret place of the Gu family, for Gu Xiuyun, a direct descendant of the Fourth House, he can go wherever he wants and no one dares to stop him. It's just that his predecessor's reputation in the past was too bad. If he suddenly abandoned evil and turned to good, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

The eldest master’s punishment just gave Gu Xiuyun an excuse.

But why did these old men prevent him from entering the Alchemy Sutra Tower?

Glancing at the maid Suyan next to him, who was still crying, Gu Xiuyun had a smile on his lips, "Miss Suyan, look at you, a weak woman who doesn't talk much on weekdays, but now you are being I was frivolous, but I was very articulate. What I said just now was clear and well-founded. Did someone teach you?"

"Young master, you have been scornful of me and you still accuse me?" The maid Suyan cried even more sadly.

"Uncle, you also know what my nephew is like. I have always been used to being a promiscuous person. There are many maids and maids who have caused trouble. Even if I add some beauty, it doesn't matter!" Gu Xiuyun sneered, "But others do My nephew can’t stand it if he blames me for his disgusting things!”

“So, Suyan’s matter has nothing to do with you?” The elder frowned slightly. This nephew, Gu Xiuyun, He still understands very well that relying on his status as the legitimate son and the power of his mother's family, he has always been domineering and tyrannical, and he has no right to deny anything he has done.

After all, Su Yan is just a maid in the final analysis. When the time comes, asking Gu Xiuyun to accept her as his concubine will stop everyone from talking!

Since Gu Xiuyun denies it, I am afraid there is really something going on in this matter.

"Forget it, there are so many trivial matters in the mansion now, and it is inconvenient for people to come and go. You should go to the Alchemy Pagoda as soon as possible to save me from worrying." The elder waved his hand with a look of disgust.

"My nephew will leave today."

Gu Xiuyun suddenly felt happy.

"Master, what's the matter with Suyan?" The old man on one side looked anxious.

"Master Hu, I will send someone to investigate this matter in detail and I will definitely give you an explanation." The elder said repeatedly.

After burning the incense, Gu Xiuyun packed up his luggage and hurried to the main line, fearing that something might happen again!

At the same time, in a dark secret room.

"What, Gu Xiuyun has already gone to the Alchemy Pagoda?" A rough voice sounded.

"Sir, Hu Weiqing has tried his best to persuade Gu Qingzheng, but today that boy didn't know what medicine he took wrongly, so he denied it and did not accept Su Yan."

According to past experience. Gu Xiuyun has always been open to beautiful women. As long as he admits this, Hu Weiqing can send Su Yan there and use this as a trap to prevent him from entering the Alchemy Tower.

But who would have thought that Gu Xiuyun would change his gender today?

"The Alchemy Tower is protected by a formation, and the Soul-Destroying Banner's spiritual power cannot penetrate it. It seems that it can only allow that junior to live for a while longer." The rough voice sounded a little helpless.

"Don't worry too much, sir. In my opinion, the boy only glanced briefly that day and didn't see the details clearly. Otherwise, how could he wake up for many days without talking to anyone?" Another person said.

"What do you know? There are many hidden clues in the four rooms of the Gu family. He may have sensed the problem, so he has been pretending to be stupid, but today he hurriedly went to the main line of the Gu family, but his thoughts were completely exposed. ”

“Sir, what should we do?”

“For now, the only way is to let Elder Feng take a good look at this person and prevent him from coming into contact with the main line of the Gu family. "The person in charge," the rough voice suddenly changed the topic, "It's all your fault that your useless disciple used the Soul-Destroying Banner to quietly deal with Gu Xiuyun, but he couldn't even handle this little thing."

......

The sun was shining brightly, and Gu Xiuyun rode a carriage deep into the North City.

There are no streets here, only a series of pavilions and pavilions, and a family guard.

"Master Yun, the Alchemy Sutra Pagoda has arrived!"

The old servant driving the car opened the curtain, and Gu Xiuyun walked out of the car.

Looking up, I saw a small mountain in front of me. The mountain seemed to be hollowed out and divided into layers, with carved pavilions inside.

Seeing Gu Xiuyun appear, a servant quickly came over to greet him.

"Master Yun, Elder Feng has prepared a wing for you to rest in. Please come with me."

"A wing?" Gu Xiuyun frowned slightly, "As far as I know "There is no resting room in the Alchemy Pagoda, right?"

"If Elder Feng has a close relationship with the masters in the fourth room, why would he let Mr. Yun live in the Alchemy Pagoda?" The beauty is ready, just waiting for the young master to move in!" The slave blinked meaningfully.

"No need, I haven't entered the Alchemy Sutra Pagoda for a long time, and I really miss it. Let's go in first and take a look around."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man in the brocade robe walked towards Xiaoshan. Go.

The servant wanted to stop him, but was stopped by the old servant beside Gu Xiuyun, "Please go back and tell your master that I will arrange Mr. Yun's residence, so Elder Feng doesn't need to worry. ”

This old servant is a person close to Mrs. Yu. Although he has not been able to enlighten the spiritual veins, his martial arts skills are extremely high, and his strength is no less than that of a practitioner who has just entered the Yuanling Vein Cleansing Realm.

During the six months that Gu Xiuyun stayed at the Alchemy Pagoda, all the secular affairs were taken care of by the old servant.

......

Walking into the mountain, Gu Xiuyun looked up and saw that the tower was layered on top of each other, with seven layers, and each layer had a person who enlightened the spiritual veins. The Dharma Protector was guarding the place, and there were some clan disciples walking around, seeming to be reading the classics.

“I heard from Xiao Cui that the side branches of each vein are only allowed to enter the first three floors of the Alchemy Sutra Tower, and the disciples of the direct line can enter the first six floors. As for the seventh floor, only the strong ones who have enlightened the spiritual veins can enter. ."

With thoughts in his mind, he walked straight to the fourth floor.

“Who is coming? I don’t know.Can only the direct channels enter above the level? "The protector guarding this place stared at Gu Xiuyun with raised eyebrows.

"I, Gu Xiuyun, come from the fourth room of the Gu family and am the legitimate son of the third master, Gu Qingyuan. "Gu Xiuyun quickly bowed.

"Is it you? "The protector's brows trembled slightly.

Everyone in the entire Youning City knows about the reputation of the romantic young master. However, this man is ignorant and has almost never entered the Alchemy Sutra Tower. Naturally, the protector in the tower does not recognize him.

Looking at the young man in brocade robes in front of him, the protector's eyes suddenly turned cold and sharp, "The Alchemy Sutra Tower is the most important inheritance place of our clan. After you enter, you must be careful not to damage any classics. If you are careless, don't blame me for kicking you out. ”

“I understand. ”

Gu Xiuyun has long been accustomed to this kind of gaze. Whenever he hears his name, the Gu family will either grit their teeth or be afraid, and almost no one will talk to him in a pleasant manner.

There are thousands of classics on the fourth floor of the Alchemy Sutra Pagoda, and hundreds of wooden shelves are sparsely placed, with almost only a dozen books on each wooden shelf.

Gu Xiuyun picked up a book and glanced at it, his eyes suddenly lit up.

[The Biography of Anning City]: records the power structure of Anning City and major events in the past thousand years.

This kind of book. The classics happened to be what he needed most. He knew nothing about the world where his body was located, but Gu Xiuyun knew that this was definitely not the land of China.

When he turned to the first page, a blue city pattern appeared. In front of you.

"Anning City, one of the eight cities in Chu County, is located in the middle of Chu County..."

After turning over several pages, they are all about the power structure and geographical distribution of Anning City. , which is also mixed with the power battles between the cities in Chu County. Anning City is located in the middle of Chu County and has been coveted by the world's forces for generations. In just a thousand years, it has changed hands three times in a row.

Now the Dragon in Anning City. Snakes are mixed together, and the You Ning Gu family is not willing to be behind others, so they also have a hand in it.

"No wonder my sister-in-law Gu Xiushu wants to marry far away to Anning City. It seems to be a secret planted by the family. son. "

Gu Xiuyun sighed in his heart, what about his legitimate daughter? She can only obey the family's orders and marry far away.

If something happens to An Ning City one day, the first one to die will be It’s these legitimate daughters.

“It’s been four years since my second sister Gu Xiuhan successfully enlightened her spiritual veins and entered Changli Heaven! ”

“By the way, Changli Tian, ​​let me see if there are any classics about Shangzong. ”

He rummaged around quickly.
