"Master..."
Faced with Gu Yangzi's questioning, Song Lian immediately understood his master's choice.
Although he knows that even if he does this, his master will definitely have a way to protect him, but if he admits to stealing Gouliang's nine-storied pagoda in front of these celestial masters, then his character will be left with a huge stain, and he will never have a chance The head of Changtianmen.
Thinking of this, Song Lian's heart was pierced like a knife, and the words of agreement were either choked in his throat or swallowed.
Gou Liang could see through his thoughts at a glance, and felt quite amused.
Why did Gu Yangzi re-elect the fifty-sixth head of Changtianmen but no one saw through? That's because the heirs he chooses must have a characteristic: their birth dates are exactly the same as Gu Yangzi's, and they have the same pure Yang body as he did before his death.
Song Lian is one of them, but not the only one.
And with his aptitude, he wasn't originally a candidate for Gu Yangzi's heir.
Song Lian didn't understand why his master allowed Gou Liang to confuse right and wrong, but he didn't dare to refute Gu Yangzi's decision. After hesitating for a moment, Song Lian could only bow his head in humiliation.
"Master, I know I'm wrong. I just want to know if the nine-storied pagoda is really as magical as it says in the book, but I definitely didn't release the ghost on purpose, but just accidentally triggered the mechanism."
Without saying a word, his heart was bleeding.
But there are no fools around who would be fooled by such insincere excuses.
Gou Liang snorted, "Three-year-old children have parents who teach them not to touch the host's things when they are guests. If I remember correctly, Mr. Song is two years older than me, right? What's more, stealing is stealing, you It is an indisputable fact that you want to erase the blood seal of the Meng family and take the nine-storied pagoda as your own. No amount of beautiful words will help. Your master can forgive you for shedding two tears because of your mistake, but I have no such obligation!"
"you-"
"Song Lian!"
Seeing Song Lian angrily targeting Gou Liang, Gu Yangzi scolded him.
Immediately, he said to Gou Liang ashamedly: "Tianshi Meng, I have no way to teach my disciples. This time he committed a big mistake, and I will never cover it up. You want him to make amends, but it doesn't matter."
"You are really embarrassing me." Gou Liang sneered, "If someone stole the Changtian seal of the head of Dugu and wanted to keep it for himself, what would you do?"
Gu Yangzi was at a loss for words.
If someone really dared to do this, he would have been crushed by him long ago!
But Gou Liang talked nonsense, and wanted to kill his apprentice with a few words, even if Gu Yangzi had something in his hands, he would never agree.
The two sides froze for a moment, and Yuan Qing and the three looked at each other.
According to their temper, as far as this matter is concerned, no matter whether it leads to irreparable consequences or not, Song Lian will not be redeemed after a hundred deaths.
But Dugu's attitude is also very obvious, he wants to keep Song Lian. They had to give Changtianmen's face, and they dared not not give it. Fortunately, the situation was finally brought under control in time, without causing unnecessary casualties, and it's not that there is no room for accommodation.
At the same time, they were also worried that Gou Liang would offend Changtianmen in a moment of anger, so they hurriedly intervened to mediate.
Yuan Qing said: "Brother Dugu, Young Master Xiao Meng doesn't change anything. If you say something wrong, please don't take it to heart. After all, what Song Lian did... If it were me, I wouldn't be able to tolerate it."
"Yeah, it's a good chance that no innocent people will be harmed."
Having said that, just now Song Lian admitted his mistake but ignored Gou Liang at all, and showed no remorse for his mistakes, he already wanted to slap him a few times.
But who let others have a good master
Fang Yunshu had emotions in his heart, and his tone of voice was unavoidably yin and yang.
I just heard him say: "In my opinion, Nephew Song Xian, you should make an apology to Tianshi Meng. Although he is younger than you, he has a higher cultivation level than you. He is your senior. If you admit your mistake sincerely, he will not It's hard for you."
Liu Yiyi glared at him, is this to mediate or add fuel to the fire
After coughing, Liu Yiyi said, "The head of the Dugu sect, I have always admired the style of the Changtian sect. But you see, last night, Meng Tianshi worked so hard to solve the crisis in Shuangye City, that he didn't even have time to rest in the capital. , Just like this happened. In terms of emotion and reason, Song Lian should kowtow to Nephew Meng and admit his mistake. Otherwise, we can’t pretend that we didn’t see it, and let Nephew Meng suffer such grievances for nothing.”
Gu Yangzi was furious.
He has been flattering and sought after for more than 3,000 years in the world, but he never thought that he would be pecked in the eyes by geese this time, and he would swallow the dark loss of a young man in his twenties.
But in the situation before him, he had to swallow his breath.
Gou Liang can break jars, but he wants reputation, and he must not let the Changtianmen, which he has painstakingly managed for three thousand years, be ruined by the boy.
So Gu Yangzi nodded and said: "What the three of you said is absolutely true. Sinister beast, don't kowtow to Master Meng to admit your mistake!"
"Master..." Song Lian's eyes were red, and he was terrified when he saw that his face was cold and solemn, his usually compassionate eyes turned extremely cold due to anger.
His master must also be very angry, and the reason why his master retreated to this point must not be simple.
If he endured the humiliation for a while and could solve the master's difficulty... then why not ask for perfection if he suffers
Figured this out, Song Lian gritted his teeth and turned to Gou Liang, bent his straight back, put his head on the ground and said in the most humble gesture: "Master Meng, I was wrong, please... forgive me."
Everyone can see Song Lian's reluctance and the hatred in his eyes, but the more he hates Gou Liang, the happier he is—isn't it boring to slap him in the face without pain? How can it be that "the heart is higher than the sky and the life is thinner than the paper" seems to make people happy!
Gou Liang accepted his big gift calmly, even though he kowtowed, he didn't have the intention to call out.
It wasn't until Song Lian kowtowed five times that Gu Yangzi frowned, and said: "This time it was me, this poor apprentice who made a big mistake. Don't worry, Tianshi Meng, I will definitely punish him severely. This Sanqing The bell is a relic of the elders in my sect. He was also a celestial master with great merit during his lifetime. Although this magic weapon is not as good as your Ninefold Soul Return Pagoda, it is not too bad. I apologize and please accept it. "
Gou Liang reached out to take it, as if he couldn't see the curse on the Sanqing bell, he smiled and said, "Senior, you're welcome."
"It should."
Gu Yangzi smiled kindly at Gou Liang as if relieved of a heavy burden.
Song Lian had already stopped kowtowing when he was talking, but his master didn't make a sound to get him up, instead he talked and laughed freely with Gou Liang as if he didn't see his tense body and red eye circles.
Gu Yangzi said: "The villain made a big mistake this time, but it also reminded us. After all, the capital is a place of extreme human beings. Thousands of years of fierce ghosts have been suppressed here, and a little carelessness will lead to catastrophe. The feng shui magic circle is famous far and wide, but Meng Tianshi has limited energy after all, and it is hard to guarantee that he will meet someone with ulterior motives next time, and he may not be lucky this time. Changtian Mountain is far away from the hustle and bustle, and there is the magic of the past celestial masters. Qi sits in the town, and there are thousands of disciples in the sect, so it is a good place to suppress the thousand-year-old ghosts."
After a pause, Gu Yangzi glanced at Liu Yiyi and the others, then turned his gaze back to Gou Liang, and asked, "I don't know what Tianshi Meng wants?"
Gou Liang had long expected that he would have such a plan, and when he heard this, he said calmly: "Senior's words make me feel ashamed."
"Speaking of it, I am also responsible for this incident. If it weren't for my limited cultivation and trusting others, such a disaster would not have happened."
"It would be great to be able to transfer the ghost under Changtianmen... However, the senior must have noticed that although I was lucky enough to subdue the ghost before, I was also branded by him. I was strong before, but it doesn't matter. Now that I am depleted of spiritual power, if his soul flies away, I will not escape death. Can you allow me to cultivate for a few days, and when I recover, send that fierce ghost to the Changtian Gate in person, how about it?"
"It's natural."
Seeing that he was so straightforward, Gu Yangzi guessed that Gou Liang had hidden tricks, but he didn't take it seriously.
He was confident that no matter what Gou Liang planned behind his back, he would have a way to make Bi Xia die together with this young man who knew his biggest secret.
After pressing this matter without mentioning it, he turned to Yuan Qing and the others and said, "I think the three of you should have heard about it. The Changtian Gate will be opened to the public once every Jiazi, and invite all Chinese celestial masters and fellow Taoists who are half-step celestial masters to enter the mountain together. Study. It will be sixty years in a few months. Since we are going to open the mountain to welcome Tianshi Meng this time, I think we might as well move the date forward. In these two days, Changtianmen will send out invitations. The three must be honored."
The three were very pleasantly surprised.
——The Jiazi Lunxue of Changtianmen, although it is said that everyone gathers together to discuss Taoism and encourage each other, but everyone understands that this is an opportunity for Changtianmen to open to outsiders to learn orthodox Taoism.
How can you miss this once-in-a-lifetime event
Yuan Qing, Liu Yiyi, and Fang Yunshu responded repeatedly.
Ten days later, Changtian Gate.
Changtian Mountain is hidden among the mountains in the southwest of China.
After passing through the barrier, the whole picture of Changtian Gate came into everyone's eyes.
It is located in a wide valley, surrounded by mountains and rivers in the shape of a dragon, and it is naturally an excellent geomantic treasure. Walking into it will make people feel refreshed and open-minded. Although there is no mountain gate, the majestic Changtian Palace in the middle is very eye-catching. The word "Changtian" is written in an ancient script on the plaque, with a mysterious power that makes people feel awe and solemn when they look at it.
This place is antique, without the slightest modern atmosphere, and it also isolates the prosperity and impetuosity of the world.
There is nothing better than Xanadu.
A total of fifteen alchemists participated in Jiazi's Theory this time, and the most mysterious power in China gathered together, and Changtian was well-versed in everything for fear of neglecting any one of them.
"Master Meng, Mr. Bi, please come in."
I was a little surprised to see Gou Liang bring Bi Xia to pick up his disciples—although the invitation said that he could bring a family member with him, but in order to gain new knowledge of Taoism without distraction, no one had ever brought unrelated people into Changtian Gate.
But she cleverly didn't show it, and said politely: "You two have been exhausted, and you have worked hard all the way. Please rest here for a while. If you need anything, please ring this bell. There are disciples waiting for you. If you have anything to do, don't worry." Tell them to do it."
"Thank you."
As soon as Gou Liang stepped into this courtyard, he felt Gu Yangzi's "good intentions".
Look at the Sanqing statues in this courtyard, these unremarkable decorations are combined to form the twenty-eight constellation array, which condenses strong yang energy and righteous energy, and the only difference is that there is no sign of "devils and ghosts who enter will die".
Fortunately, he spent ten days day and night purifying the cowardly aura that Bi Xia had conquered from the ancient tomb. With Bi Xia's 5,000-year ghost cultivation, even Gu Yangzi might not be his opponent. Yang Zhai's feng shui gang qi is nothing but wishful thinking to deal with Bi Xia. Gu Yangzi is also aware of this, and what he did was just to cause trouble for them, just to make their life unhappy.
After guiding the disciples away, Gou Liang leaned on Bi Xia's body and yawned big.
Bi Xia also felt sorry for his hard work, and said softly, "Sleep, I will watch over you."
Gou Liang lay on his lap and wrapped his waist around him, and said listlessly: "This is Guyangzi's territory, we should be careful in everything. Since he used the blood sacrifice method of boys and girls to suppress you back then, since he was able to use his own son To prevent disaster for him, I must have already thought out a way out for myself. Maybe he still has something that can control you in his hand, where is the time to sleep now. "
Bi Xia said: "He wants to deal with me, and he won't be in a hurry at this moment."
Gou Liang thought so too, he rested his head on Bi Xia's leg and fell asleep after a while.
He didn't slack off for a moment in the past ten days, and he was exhausted. Bi Xia gently stroked his hair, looked at his peaceful sleeping face quietly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he didn't raise his head until Gou Liang was fast asleep.
The tenderness in your eyes was replaced by coldness, "Gu Yangzi, I didn't know you had a habit of spying on the pleasures of other people's boudoirs."
With a wave of his hand, a ball of ghost energy hit the remaining trace of ghost energy in the void. At the same time that the feeling of being watched disappeared, Gu Yangzi, who returned to defense, was still a step slower, feeling a tingling pain in his eyes, leaving A line of blood and tears came.
Ghost energy poured into the eyes to relieve the pain, Gu Yangzi sneered, even if you two see through my purpose, Changtian Mountain will definitely be your burial place!
That night, Gu Yangzi led his disciples to welcome the honored guests.
After a little courtesy, he said: "Tomorrow noon, I will seal the ghost together with Tianshi Meng. You can follow my unsatisfactory apprentice around the Changtian Gate. Please bear with me if I am negligent."
Everyone is in good agreement.
But Gou Liang knew that Gu Yangzi would not wait until noon tomorrow.
Sure enough, at dawn when day and night alternated, a soul-calling bell rang, and Gou Liang felt that his hands were empty, and Bi Xia disappeared beside him.
"Bi Wu Zhan, do you know what this is?"
Gu Yangzi, who was attached to Duguyang's body, had a sinister smile, and what stood beside him was a pair of bones.
Bi Xia was stunned, it was his own remains!
Realizing that something was wrong, Bi Xia pulled away to leave, but found himself unable to move.
Gu Yangzi grabbed the bone's neck, and Bi Xia felt the same as being strangled immediately, only to hear Gu Yangzi proudly say: "You must never have imagined that after three thousand years, you can still see your own bone, right? Hua, I have worked so hard, without a fight, and I have waited for you for three thousand years. Haha, I don’t know what method your little lover used to make your cultivation soar in such a short period of time. But that So what? As long as your corpse is in my hands, you will not be able to escape from my grasp."
Gu Yangzi grinned grimly, seeing Bi Xia who was still unable to make a sound because of his throat being strangled, he raised his foot and kicked Bai Gu's knee.
Bi Xia only felt that his legs were pressed down with a thousand-weight force, which made him involuntarily repeat the posture of bones. He resisted with ghost power, so he didn't kneel down immediately.
Seeing him dying and struggling, Gu Yangzi was very pleased.
Violently breaking a rib on the white bone, Gu Yangzi was not in a hurry to kill Bi Xia, he just wanted to humiliate him, and he has been waiting for this day all the time for the past three thousand years.
Bi Xia let out a muffled snort, and the ghostly aura dissipated from his body.
"This bone has been with me for three thousand years. I poured it with ghost energy day and night, and cast it into my puppet. Who would have thought that the majestic and majestic General Wuzhan would bow his knees to me after death."
Seeing Bi Xia struggling in vain, Gu Yangzi felt happy in his heart.
But soon, he felt that his formation was about to be broken.
He underestimated Gou Liang's ability, his formation couldn't trap him for even an hour. Gu Yangzi was extremely annoyed: "You have committed countless crimes and reaped the consequences, why should I bury ten lifetimes of merit for you! You should have died a long time ago, Bi Wuzhan, of course, it is not too late now. When you die, I will go Kill your little lover and let him accompany you to death! Suffer death!"
Bi Xia's eyes turned cold, and his ghostly aura surged, wanting to break through Gu Yangzi's shackles.
Afraid of accidental complications, Gu Yangzi no longer delays, a ruthless strike will smash Bi Wuzhan's remains into pieces—
"stop!"
At the very moment, a burst of strong energy shot out from Bi Xia's cassock and hit Gu Yangzi! Even if Gu Yangzi dodges in time, he was still hit by the Gang Qi for a moment. Although he possessed Dugu Yang's body in the first moment, the scene of him getting out of his body just now was completely captured by Gou Liang and the people he brought. Take a closer look!
"Master!!"
"Master!"
The disciples of Changtianmen let out a shrill scream.
They couldn't believe that Dugu Yang would be taken away by a ghost, but seeing it with their own eyes, they couldn't help but believe it.
The Nine Layers Soul Return Pagoda carried by Bi Xia was controlled by Gou Liang's mind, whirled out of Bi Xia, and put the bone in Gu Yangzi's hand into the pagoda immediately. Gou Liang flew to Bi Xia's side, stood in front of him, and shouted at Gu Yangzi: "Bold and fierce, how dare you take away the head of Dugu!"
Gu Yangzi instantly understood Gou Liang's plan, but before he could react, Gou Liang shouted angrily: "Everyone, what are you waiting for, don't let this ghost escape!"
Before Liu Yiyi and the others could make a move, the disciples of Changtianmen who were filled with grief and indignation had already rushed forward.
"Bastard! Give back my master's life!"
"How dare a daring vile beast take my Changtian sect head from my Changtian gate, take your life!"
The war between humans and ghosts broke out!
