[Ding! The story of Chasing Sun Mountain is unlocked and activated, and there are rich rewards for clearing the level. Master, come on!]
Zhou Ziruo was taken aback by the sudden sound of the system sound and the flexibility of Xiao Zhengtai's address, "Runfa, when did you come back to my mind?"
[I am not in your mind, master, but communicate with you through the connection between you and me! But because I have turned into an entity inexplicably now, I can only respond to the master's call within a certain range, so master, you'd better not stay too far away from me, otherwise I will be powerless in case of danger!]
Zhou Ziruo nodded to show that he understood.
According to Xiao Zhengtai's stuttering disclosure last night, the so-called "original plot" does not exist, but the maximum probability that the host obtains all the information of this world from the perspective of God, based on the sophisticated and powerful calculation system. s future. For example, the previous scenes of Zhou Ziruo being stabbed by Qiu Cailing and falling off the cliff, and Lu Lixiao and Bai Lianhua getting married are all the most likely to develop naturally under the premise that Zhou Ziruo did not pass through. The ending, not the real future.
From this point, it can be seen that even if it is as precise and powerful as the mainframe, it does not have the ability to predict the future 100%, so when the system prompts that the main plot is activated, it means that the case is not about to happen or has a high probability of happening, but has definitely happened.
In other words, someone has already died on Sun Chaser Mountain!
Zhou Ziruo probably has a conclusion about who the deceased is in relation to the situation in front of him.
The Fenghe Garden where Mrs. Gu lived was full of people at the moment, most of them were the masters and servants of the Gu family, and a few were guests who came to watch in a daze. Lu Lixiao also rushed over, standing not far from Zhou Ziruo, staring at the Gu family masters outside the main house in front of him, Zhou Ziruo had no time to supervise him, and was concentrating on listening to the two servants who were whispering beside him.
"It was just now that the elder Beisu of Xuanyang Gate came to pay a visit to the old matriarch, and unexpectedly found that no one in the entire Fenghe Garden knew where the old matriarch was!"
"Nurse Gui and Xiangming are the ones who serve the old lady personally, so they don't even know that the old lady is gone?"
"Nurse Gui and Xiangming are not together this morning. They all thought that the other party was with the old lady! I heard that the old lady came back from the banquet last night and ordered them to go to work this morning. The other servants don't know this. I thought they would take care of the old lady to get up and wash up, but now they talk to each other, no one has seen the old lady today!"
"Where does the old lady go without taking the two of them? Besides, even if you don't take them, you will always let me know?"
"The old matriarch is too old to move around, and there is no one to take care of him at all. So... Now the second master and the others speculate that the old matriarch may not have left by himself!"
"Didn't leave by yourself? Wouldn't that be—"
"Hush! Be careful not to be heard by outsiders!"
The two servants found someone poking around nearby, and immediately shut down the conversation. Zhou Ziruo frowned, and began to analyze the suspect based on the information he heard.
He paid special attention to the main table this morning, Mrs. Gu did not attend the breakfast, that means she has been missing since last night. She left with Cang Shuiyao at the dinner last night, and ordered Gu Jue to see her. The servants of Fengheyuan said that she dismissed them after the dinner. Assuming that no one lied, last night had Knowing that the last person who saw Mrs. Gu was Gu Jue.
Gu Jue is also outside the main house now, talking with Gu Er, presumably talking about what happened last night in detail. Around them were a few Gu family members who were about the same age as Gu Er, all of them had strange expressions on their faces, and they might have thought of something bad.
Not to mention these sensitive Gu family members, "The last person who saw Mrs. Gu last night might be Gu Jue", even Zhou Ziruo couldn't help but think about it, especially since he was the only one present who was sure that Mrs. Gu Jun has died! Whether it is purely from Gu Jue's background, or from his hidden identity as a member of Jiangyue Palace, he is simply too motivated, okay?
But the more this happened, the more he felt that it wasn't Gu Jue who did it. Gu Jue shouldn't be so stupid as to directly put himself as the number one suspect.
But what if he is taking advantage of this psychology
If you keep guessing like this, it will be endless.
The yard was in a mess, and the discussions sounded like swarms of flies flying around, but there is no saying that Mrs. Gu was killed. After all, the talent only disappeared for half a morning. Mrs. Gu has hands and feet, maybe it is Where did I go.
Gu Jiu, his wife, and Gu Qi also rushed over. Gu Er led the Gu parents into the main house. After a while, a middle-aged man from the Gu family came out and raised his voice to invite the guests in the courtyard to go back.
Zhou Ziruo grabbed a little maid and asked, "Did you find Mrs. Gu?"
The little maid replied softly: "Second Lord and the others said that the old matriarch went to the ancestral temple in the back mountain to worship the ancestors."
"If it's to pay homage to the ancestors, the old lady, why didn't you bring someone down?"
The little servant girl said: "There are rules in the ancestral temple. You have to live alone in the ancestral temple when you worship the ancestors. The old matriarch doesn't bring anyone with him every time he goes there!"
Whether Mrs. Gu is in the ancestral temple, you can tell if you send someone over there. Gu Er and the others probably realized that the situation was not normal. Are they saying that they are afraid that things will make a big impact on the Immortal League Grand Competition
There weren't many guests in the courtyard, and they were almost gone now, if Zhou Zi couldn't stay any longer, Fang turned around and saw Lu Lixiao standing behind him with his arms folded, with a pensive look in his eyes.
Zhou Ziruo didn't take the initiative to say hello, but when he passed by Lu Lixiao's side, Lu Lixiao whispered to him: "Be careful when you live alone, the Gu family has changed."
As expected of Lu Lixiao, he smelled a strange aura so quickly.
Zhou Ziruo didn't want to have too much interaction with him at first, but the deep meaning in his words made him care, "Are you sure, it's an internal problem of the Gu family?"
"If it's Jiangyue Palace, they will do it blatantly. As for other outsiders, I don't think it is very likely at present."
Zhou Ziruo said, "Did you recognize Gu Jue?"
Lu Lixiao said: "I recognized him when I heard his voice outside the door that day. This amazing and talented fourteenth son of the Gu family has heard his name for a long time, and I was really surprised when I first saw him. He really is a character .”
You didn't look surprised that day.
Zhou Ziruo complained silently.
"If it's not Jiangyue Palace, then it probably has nothing to do with Gu Jue. But this time, Jiangyue Palace is really planning something in the Immortal League Competition."
Lu Lixiao smiled when he heard the words, "The Gu family suddenly changed, and Jiangyue Palace's plan will definitely be affected. Siqin Jiangyue should be furious because of this."
Zhou Ziruo shrugged his shoulders when he recalled the big devil's nervous hair.
"However... Mrs. Gu is the mainstay of the righteous way, I hope this time is safe and sound." Lu Lixiao continued in a low voice.
Zhou Ziruo sighed in his heart, safe and sound... I'm afraid he won't be able to fulfill his wish.
Five days later, Mrs. Gu still did not show up.
The disciples of the Xianmen who participated in this Xianmeng Grand Competition have arrived one after another, accompanied by some elders from famous sects who have long been famous all over the world. Mrs. Gu is still highly respected, and it stands to reason that she should be received by Mrs. Gu herself, but Mrs. Gu is not even a shadow. Although no one said anything, private dissatisfaction is inevitable.
In order to appease the displeasure of these elders, Gu Er and the others made up a set of excuses, saying that Mrs. Gu had the ancestors of the Gu family in a dream in the night and was ordered to go to the ancestral hall to fast for two months, during which they could not see anyone. All the families of Xianmen regard their ancestors as god-like existences, and the ancestors asked you to guard even if you had an appointment with the emperor, you would have to refuse, so everyone expressed their understanding.
Apart from Lu Lixiao, Zhou Ziruo and a few outsiders who knew about Mrs. Gu's disappearance, even within the Gu family, only Gu Er and the others knew about it. They searched for people without hesitation, but found nothing. The Immortal Alliance Grand Competition is about to start, and there is no delay, so everything can only unfold in a panic.
There are hundreds of sects and families participating in the Xianmeng Grand Competition, each faction sends two people, and there are nearly 300 contestants in total. The competition system adopts a simple lottery grouping one-on-one, and half of the contestants will be eliminated in the first round. Since the participating disciples are all elites from various sects, even the preliminary competition is very interesting, and the winner cannot be determined in a short time. Only the preliminary competition lasted for five consecutive days before it ended.
Zhou Ziruo was very apprehensive when he took the stage for the first time. Compared with the byes in the Qingyang Mountain Gate and being kicked off the stage by Leng Mo in the semi-finals, this time it was a true duel! Before he went up the mountain, his cheap master Yun Hao only gave him a chain that he couldn't show his essence, and didn't teach him a single move, so what would he use to fight
Forget it, it's a big deal to be eliminated, anyway, don't blame him.
Zhou Ziruo swung the chain at the rushing opponent with the attitude of breaking the jar, and a miracle happened at this moment. The other end of the silver chain seemed to have a head, and circled around the opponent several times in a flash , Bind the opponent tightly! The opponent's long sword fell to the ground with a "bang", and his body fell to the ground stiffly.
This competition was the fastest one in the preliminary round, and Zhou Ziruo won in seconds.
Anyone with discerning eyes could recognize that Zhou Ziruo's silver chain that defeated the enemy was Guanyun, the magic weapon of Qingyang Mountain Elder Yunhao. Because of this recognition, no one doubted Zhou Ziruo's victory. Guan Yun is a magic weapon to recognize the master, and no one can display its sharpness except Yun Hao himself, so Zhou Ziruo can only win by his own strength.
Zhou Ziruo: o(╯□╰)o
Although he didn't understand how Yun Hao managed to make Guan Yun feel as excited as if he had been drugged in his hands, he finally knew why Yun Hao gave Guan Yun to him. Because if he wins with other magic weapons with his poor skills, he will definitely be suspected of cheating. Guan Yun, the recognized master magic weapon that he could not use at all, can attribute the victory to his own strength!
This kind of behavior of cheating openly and generously under everyone's noses shocked Zhou Ziruo, and he gained a new understanding of the audacity of this cheap master.
