June 14, Dachen Country, Hulao Pass, Gufeng Town. There is a mansion in the town called'Ancient Mansion'.
The interior of the ancient mansion and the surrounding streets are full of banquets, and guests come and go in an endless stream. It's so lively!
But just now, a group of people dressed in filial obedience came in, and the original noise came to an abrupt end. A large number of troops guarded all sides, making the originally festive scene instantly full of murderous air.
"Isn't Mr. Old 70th birthday today? The surrounding military camps should have been arranged early. How come there are so many soldiers?"
"No, no. Although Mr. Old is not involved in politics, no one in the government dares to have trouble with Mr. Old!"
"Before that was the prince, the prince dressed in filial obedience, followed by the civil and military officials!"
"How can it be?"
"It's true, it's really the prince, how does the prince wear filial obedience? It won't be...!"
…………
………
…
The guests on the street suddenly showed horror.
The crown prince wears filial obedience, only for a time, is the current emperor died
Isn't the current emperor personally conquering the front line? And I heard that the winning streak
Everyone was horrified, and it was obvious that the news was too late—
Ancient house!
The guests all feasted in the front yard and the streets, but in the backyard of the ancient mansion, it was quite quiet. The backyard is a seven-story tower, which is the tallest building in the ancient mansion or even the town. Standing on the tower, you can overlook everything in the town.
Tower name, cupola!
Under the tower, there stood a large number of solemn people from the ancient mansion, watching a group of civil and military officials in filial obedience, accompanied by Prince Chen, kneeling under the tower. All of them showed grief.
Only one person who came with him did not kneel, that is Chen Taiji's third grandfather, the man in white clothes of the sect.
"Nephew Chen Liangyi begged to see Uncle Gu, and he begged to avenge his father!" Prince Chen Liangyi said in grief.
Chen Guo will be destroyed immediately, how long can he sit as a prince? Once Chen Guo was destroyed, he would even be angered by Xianzong, without knowing his life or death. The father said that this person is capable of turning the tide. He is also the father's eldest brother.
As long as Chen Guo can be saved, let alone kneeling, even if he kneels for three days and three nights, Chen Liangyi will not frown.
Many servants of the ancient mansion have their eyes widened.
This, this is the current prince! Also, is this a hundred officials of civil and military affairs? How can it be? Just to see the master
"Gu Hai, I am Chen Tianshan of Qinghe Sect, but still remember? Prince Chen has already led the civil and military officials to kneel in front of you, what do you want?" The man in white clothes who was standing was drinking loudly.
Everyone in the ancient mansion watched with condensed eyebrows. Leading a middle-aged man in a blue shirt in his thirties, with a broad face and ordinary appearance, but standing outside the sky tower, all the people in the ancient mansion looked like his horse's head.
"Grandpa? How about...!" A servant seemed to have something to say.
The middle-aged man in the green shirt looked at him coldly, a look in his eyes, and the servant who was frightened suddenly shut his mouth.
The prestige of the ancient mansion cannot be provoked.
Grand Young Master Qingshan ignored everyone's request, but patiently stood outside the tower.
"Uncle Gu, before the father's death, he asked his nephew to beg Uncle Gu, and also asked my father to say sorry to you. Back then, the father was sorry to you!" Chen Liangyi was trembling and crying.
"Oh~~~~~!"
Inside the sky tower, there was a long sigh.
Everyone looked at him.
I heard an old-fashioned voice in the cupola again: "Master Chen is here, and the old man is negligent. Gu Qin, please ask Master Chen to go up to the tower, and let Chen Liangyi come up!"
Gu Qin, the eldest son guarding the entrance of the tower, suddenly said with a solemn expression: "Yes, foster father!"
"Marina!"
Gu Qin opened the gate and said to Chen Tianshan: "Master Chen is negligent. My father hasn't seen guests for a long time. This time I have been offended, please come inside!"
Chen Tianshan nodded.
"Prince Chen, please inside!" Gu Qin solemnly said.
Chen Liangyi got up immediately with a hint of excitement.
Ancient Qin led Chen Tianshan and Chen Liangyi into the cupola!
"Marina!"
The tower gate closed again.
Outside, the civil and military officials looked at the pagoda with curiosity.
The tower has seven floors, and the two found that each floor is full of bookshelves, filled with countless books.
All the way to the sixth floor.
Chen Tianshan and Chen Liangyi finally saw Gu Hai.
That was the window of the cupola, and there was a huge Go board at the moment, but this board was different. On a general chessboard, there are 19 vertical and horizontal lines, but on this chessboard, there are 29 vertical and horizontal lines.
The chessboard is full of chess pieces, and the layout of the chessboard cannot be seen clearly.
On the side of the chessboard, stood an old man in black, about 70 years old, with snow-white hair and a very serious face. Although there were some wrinkles, his eyes were extremely bright. Those eyes seemed to pass through the heart. , Which made Chen Liangyi's heart palpitate.
This is the richest man in the six countries, Gu Hai
"You are Gu Hai? No, you are not Gu Hai! Your eyebrows...?" Chen Tianshan stared.
The old man smiled slightly and said, "Master Chen, do you remember the plea under the waterfall? The old man is indeed Gu Hai, but he only added his beard and eyebrows to avoid unnecessary trouble!"
Chen Tianshan took a closer look. Indeed, he was Gu Hai, but the most profound part of his memory was actually fake? The person is still the same person, and his face has not changed much, but if Gu Hai doesn't decrypt it, Chen Tianshan will never think that he is the Gu Hai he has ever seen.
"Uncle Gu, my father is dead, he said that you are his elder brother to worship, and I beg Uncle Gu to avenge my father in terms of brotherhood!" Chen Liangyi knelt down again.
Gu Hai narrowed his eyes, looked at Chen Liangyi, and was silent for a while: "I did worship him back then, but he wanted to kill me back then, and the brotherhood is not counted anymore!"
"Huh?" Chen Liangyi's expression froze.
Chen Tianshan frowned slightly.
Gu Hai looked at Chen Tianshan and said, "I know the purpose of your coming. Three passes fell, especially Gao Xianzhi killed a 600,000 army at three passes, Song State is united, and Chen State is about to be broken. At this time, only left is left. The next one hundred thousand inferior army of scattered sand wants to block the eight hundred thousand tiger and wolf army of Song State, do you think it is possible?"
"What? Gao Xianzhi killed 600,000 troops? That's a prisoner!" Chen Liangyi exclaimed.
"Just four days ago at noon!" Gu Hai said lightly.
"You, how do you know?" Chen Liangyi exclaimed.
Gu Hai did not speak.
On the side, the eldest son Gu Qin was on the sidelines, pouring a cup of tea for Gu Hai respectfully, and then another cup for Chen Tianshan.
Gu Hai gestured to Chen Tianshan slightly, and sat down by himself.
Chen Tianshan looked at Gu Hai, his eyes were unfamiliar. Ordinary mortals would respect them as gods when they saw himself as a member of the Immortal Sect, but Gu Hai was so plain
"Chen Taiji said, you can!" Chen Tianshan sat down and said in a deep voice.
Gu Hai picked up the tea and took a sip: "The mountains and rivers are broken. It only takes half a month for Gao Xianzhi's army to drive straight down and arrive at Hulao Pass. You know what the 100,000 army of Hulao Pass is all about. You know better than I think. Want this group of people to resist Gao Xianzhi's 800,000 tiger-wolf army? Oh, let's not talk about resistance at that time, among this group, there will be survivors. Perhaps without Gao Xianzhi's action, the Tiger Prison Pass will be broken by itself!"
The expressions of Chen Tianshan and Chen Liangyi changed. This is not Gu Hai's alarmist talk, but a very possible thing.
"Uncle Gu, please go out to rescue Chen, as long as you save Chen Guo, you can do anything you want!" Chen Liangyi suddenly shouted.
On the side, Chen Tianshan also said affirmatively: "Yes! Do you have a way?"
Gu Hai suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh? Since Xianzong cares about the Great Chen Kingdom, why doesn't Master Chen Xian go personally? I want to use your power to take the head of the generals from the army. It is not difficult. Besides, you The secular country controlled by Xianzong is not limited to this big Chen country. Why don't you invite other countries to help? How come you come to find me, an old man covered in bronze?"
Chen Tianshan frowned slightly, and said in silence: "This time it can only be a battle between the two countries, and it is not allowed to recruit other countries, and people from the sect are not allowed to interfere!"
"Not allowed?" Gu Hai's expression suddenly moved, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
Although it was only three words, Gu Hai heard a lot of information in an instant, and seemed to see a great opportunity, so that a ripple suddenly appeared in Gu Jing Bubo's heart.
Squeezing the waves, Gu Hai took a sip of tea.
"Chen Guo is out of help, I'm just here to ask the last question, if you can't, that's it!" Chen Tianshan said solemnly.
Gu Hai did not speak, but looked at Chen Tianshan and Chen Liangyi.
After a while, Gu Hai solemnly said: "Save Chen, yes, but...!"
"Can you save Chen Guo? How to save it?" Chen Tianshan showed a hint of surprise.
"I have one condition!" Gu Hai did not explain, but solemnly said.
"Oh?" Chen Tianshan looked at Gu Hai.
"Uncle Gu, whatever you want, as long as I have it, I can give it to you!" Chen Liangyi also got up and said in surprise.
Gu Hai ignored Chen Liangyi, but stared at Chen Tianshan: "I need, Qinghe Sect Sect Master empowers me to help me break through the barrier of the acquired realm! Assault the innate realm! And let me learn the skills of the natural realm in Qinghe Sect. Law!"
"What? Are you consummating the day after tomorrow?" Chen Tianshan suddenly stood up in shock.
Gu Hai nodded solemnly.
"Impossible, you bones, I saw back then, that internal strength can't be practiced at all. I only start practicing after 30 years old. Such a poor root can only be cultivated by external strength, and it is impossible for a lifetime to exceed the fifth level of the acquired world. Yes, but, you said that you have the tenth level of the acquired heaven? This is absolutely impossible!" Chen Tianshan suddenly shouted.
"External power? Others can't do it, it doesn't mean that aging is not good. The acquired life is only a hundred years old, and once it reaches the innate state, the longevity will be two hundred years. The old age is already in its twilight years. Fortunately, I have reached the day after tomorrow. Even if you are in the Golden Core Realm, you are not enough to help me. Only your Sect Master can. Go and tell your Sect Master, as long as he agrees to my terms, I will save Chen!" Gu Hai said in a deep voice. road.
Chen Tianshan stared at Gu Hai, with surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.
External power? How ridiculous is that external skills can also be cultivated to the acquired level of Consummation? That crude practice method depends entirely on self-abuse. Even if it exhausts one's full potential, it cannot exceed the fifth level of the acquired realm. It has never been done before. Gu Hai actually reached the Acquired Realm of Consummation
"I only have this one request! How about?" Gu Hai stared at Chen Tianshan, with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.
"You save Chen Guo first, I will talk to the lord!" Chen Tianshan said solemnly.
Gu Hai smiled slightly and shook his head. Without speaking, he looked at Chen Tianshan.
"The sect master is not here at all, how can I help the sect master to agree? You save Chen Guo first, and I will report to the sect master!" Chen Tianshan said solemnly.
"Gao Xianzhi's army arrived at Hulao Pass. At least half a month, half a month, is enough for you to return to the sect. As long as Qinghe Sect Master promises with the decree, I will save Chen Guo immediately, Chen Guo saves it, and then fulfills the promise. It's not too late, but I want your suzerain's decree to promise!" Gu Hai stared at Chen Tianshan in a firm tone.
"Half a month? How many things will happen in half a month? After half a month, the Tiger Prison Pass may be gone! What will you take to rescue Chen Guo? Besides, half a month later, Song Guo’s 800,000 Tiger Wolf Army will The soldiers are approaching the city, how can you resist the 100,000 inferior soldiers?" Chen Tianshan frowned and said uncomfortably.
"Half a month? Don't worry, I can't disperse, how to resist, that is my business, you will return as soon as possible, Chen Guo will be out of danger as soon as possible!" Gu Hai said with a firmness in his eyes. Without getting a promise, Gu Hai would never take this risk.
Chen Tianshan was staring at Gu Hai, his eyes were cold and said: "Gu Hai, this is what you said, if you can't save Chen Guo, you know the fate of deceiving us...!"
Gu Hai didn’t care, but turned to look at Chen Liangyi and said, “Since Chen Taiji is dead, it’s nothing but grievances in the past. Although I live in Chen Country, the annual tax revenue to Chen Country is also extremely large. Chen Guo asylum, as long as I want to move to the six countries, no matter which country will give land to welcome me, I have stayed in Chen Guo for these years, but there are some reluctances. I have no grievances with you, and I owe you nothing. If you want me to save Chen, you can wait for the news from Master Chen!"
"Yes, thank you Uncle Gu!" Chen Liangyi immediately respectfully said.
"Go back first. There are a lot of guests in my house today, so I won't entertain more!" Gu Hai sent off the guests.
"Yes!" Chen Liangyi nodded.
Chen Tianshan stared at Gu Hai for a while: "I will go back to the sect immediately, please ask the decree of the suzerain, I hope what you said is true, otherwise..., huh!"
Turning his head, Chen Tianshan quickly left with Chen Liangyi.
Gu Qin looked at Gu Hai and frowned slightly: "Foster father, Chen Guo is almost incomprehensible this time, how can I save Chen? Will it...!"
Gu Hai looked at the Go game on the table again, took a deep breath and said, "I know there is no solution, and listening to them, the sect is not allowed to intervene. Just fighting with secular forces is tantamount to a'criminal infantry fighting murderer'! But , This is the last chance for my father. The acquired realm, the innate realm, one realm, but the world is turned upside down. If I step into the inborn realm, I can become younger and return to the prime of life! I only have this chance, I have to Become younger! Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, we must dismantle it!"
"Yes!" Gu Qin nodded worriedly.
"I'll ponder for some countermeasures, don't disturb me, go on!" Gu Hai said solemnly.
"Foster father, today is your birthday, do you want to...!"
"No, I have received the best birthday gift just now, go...!" Gu Hai waved his hand.
Gu Qin nodded and stepped back.
Gu Hai leaned against the window, watching the army retreat below. Playing with a black Go chess piece in his hand, his brows were deeply furrowed: "On my thirtieth birthday, I collected 100,000 endgame pictures and turned to this'black chess' in the library cellar. I didn't want you but took me from it. It’s been forty years since the earth was brought to this world. What secrets do you hide? Is it just for the 100,000 endgame pictures? After decades of comprehension, I have almost comprehended, but, Over the years, you haven't moved at all. How do you want me to penetrate you?"
Gu Hai sighed slightly, and the probe placed the black chess on the center of his brow.
"Om!"
The black chess actually penetrated the skin strangely, and penetrated into Gu Hai's eyebrows.
Gu Hai's heart sank into the center of his eyebrows. It was a space between the eyebrows. Below the space, there were 100,000 chessboards with endgames placed on them. The 100,000 endgames seemed to be constantly operating. In the constant change of chess pieces, that'black chess' It floats above one hundred thousand, like a king overlooking the one hundred thousand endgame.
