Gu Zongchen was born a Buddhist, and Dabidou was gifted with great talents. He was well versed in the art of convincing people with reason.
This principle has both physics and logic.
When meeting an enemy, he would first use physics and then reason. As long as he could explain physics well, everyone would sit down and listen to him carefully.
Lu Dong is the best example.
When they first came, they were very arrogant, but later they learned how to debate.
Lu Bei is different.
Gu Zongchen failed in his physics lecture, but when it came to talking about principles, Lu Bei's thoughts were erratic and full of twisted ideas. He couldn't even keep up with the pace, let alone debate.
It would be even worse if he kept up. At the same level, Lu Bei had more experience and he would only lose faster.
"What the donor said is very true. It is me who is obsessed with appearances."
Gu Zongchen readily admitted his mistake and pointed to the foggy sea: "This is the forbidden area of the East China Sea. It is three thousand meters deep and even a goose feather cannot float. If you rashly set foot in it, you may die."
"Where did the Quicksand River come from? Why are you shooting here..."
Lu Bei was halfway through his words when he spat into the mist: "Pah, you almost got me fooled. What I meant was to take only one scoop from the three thousand weak waters, one scoop after another. Don't block my way. It's useless to stop me. I will kill this devil Lu Dong today."
"Master Lu, I am not trying to stop you..."
"Um?!"
"Donor Xin, I am not stopping you for Donor Lu. Monks do not lie. The sea of fog is full of dangers. We really cannot cross it."
"You swear."
"… "
"Then make a written agreement."
"… "
"You dare not even swear an oath, nor sign a written agreement, yet you have the nerve to say that monks do not tell lies."
Lu Bei curled his lips and said, "You are just a talker. You must have tricked many female donors into going to the Zen room for consecration. That is Xiong Chu. Release the Heavenly Sword... If it were the Wu Zhou Heavenly Sword Sect that I know of, you would have been beaten to death by Sect Master Lu a long time ago."
Gu Zongchen couldn't respond, so he put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name.
It is true that he had some selfish motives in stopping Lu Bei, but it was true that the Misty Sea was full of dangers. The Gu family had been exploring for hundreds of years, and countless powerful monks had gone there and never returned. The bloody lessons were still fresh in their minds, and he could not bear to see Lu Bei rashly barging in.
After telling the bloody history of the Gu family, Gu Zongchen reiterated: "You can't break in, you can't break in, why don't you go back to Zhanhai Pavilion first and make a decision later."
Hundreds of years of exploration, no return.
Lu Bei accurately grasped the key words and guessed that the source of the Gu family curse was behind the fog.
It's very likely.
According to Ji Han, the founding emperor of Xiong Chu, Gu Tianyin, inherited the East China Sea Fairy Island. The coordinates of the fairy island are most likely in the depths of the fog. The Immortal Seal is the gateway to the fairy island...
It's worth a try.
Lu Bei narrowed his eyes slightly, took out the magic weapon, the Seal of Immortality, and after trying it, he found that it was indeed effective.
The thick fog that was difficult for the divine consciousness to detect opened a passage, and the Seal of Immortality was like a car headlight, shining its light wherever it went, the fog there would disappear without a trace.
Gu Zongchen was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed.
As the most powerful prince of this generation and the one most likely to inherit the throne, Gu Jiache is devoted to Buddhism and has no worldly desires. Power and beauty are nothing but clouds in his eyes.
But letting go and being cold-blooded are two different things. If he can help break the curse for the Gu family, he doesn't mind contributing his insignificant strength.
Seeing Lu Bei stepping into the passage, Gu Zongchen hurriedly followed him and said urgently: "Donor Xin, one person's wisdom is short but the others' are long. You have the Immortal Seal and can open the door at any time. There is no need to rush into this place. It is safer to return to Zhanhai Pavilion to make a plan first."
"Lu Dong was beaten to pieces at Duanlang Mountain, so there is no Zhanhai Pavilion anymore. Please wait here for a while, don't leave, I will be back soon."
Lu Bei shook his head. He dared to rashly break into the forbidden area, not because he was powerful or arrogant, like Han Miaojun, who thought he was invincible.
Old Xun Yu, who became famous in his early years, can use the sacrificial skills as soon as he picks them up. He knows the importance of teammates and dares to come in because he has confidence in Gu Zongchen.
This bald donkey is ridiculously strong. He must have jumped off the map again.
The fog was so thick that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. Even with the Seal of Immortality leading the way, it was difficult to identify the direction of a mere hundred-meter-long road.
Soon, Gu Zongchen realized that something was wrong. The fog behind them was gradually gathering. With every step forward, the fog behind them gathered. If they went deeper, they would most likely lose their way and never get out.
The Sea of Misty Sea is indeed a forbidden area. I wonder how Lu Dong is doing.
Gu Zongchen sighed and urged Lu Bei to return immediately.
"Now that we are here, let's walk a little further and have a cup of tea. No more walking."
After a cup of tea.
"Maybe another cup of tea..."
Half an hour later.
"We've been walking for so long, if we turn back now, all the journey we've taken won't be in vain!"
Two hours later.
"Uh, I'm lost."
There is no sky above the fog, no sun, no moon, and no starlight. The strange thing is that in the absence of light, it always remains unchanged white.
You can see the sea below, but the road is blocked, which is even more weird.
According to Gu Zongchen, the foggy sea was without waves or wind, even goose feathers could not float, and ships could not cross. No matter what realm a cultivator was in, or what magical power or magic weapon he used, as long as he went into the sea, he would sink to the bottom.
Although the sea surface appears to be stagnant water, there are turbulent undercurrents beneath. Once a cultivator is swept away by the undercurrent, the magic power in his body will be lost at a rapid speed.
Eventually, even the soul will be swept away.
Is this true? If it’s really that powerful, wouldn’t Lu Dong be dead
Lu Bei didn't believe it and suspected that the bald man was lying again. He provoked him with words and tried to get the bald man to prove it himself.
There is no evidence to support the claim that the turbulent seabed currents can sweep away a cultivator's soul, unless you see it with your own eyes.
fail.
Gu Zongchen refused to go into the sea and advised Lu Bei not to do so either.
Don't engage in emotional disputes.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but the sea of fog still seems to have no end.
Lu Bei and Gu Zongchen, one was a demon with speed, the other had supernatural powers and could travel thousands of miles in one step, both were surprised at the vast coverage of the sea of fog.
Even they couldn't see the end, so what about other monks...
No wonder the Gu family’s convoy never returned.
Gu Zongchen wondered why the journey was too long and the sea of fog was most likely a formation created by heaven and earth. If he couldn't find a way to break the formation, he might never get out in this lifetime.
Lu Bei didn't care. In the small dark room, there were Taifu, Han Miaojun x2, She Xuan, and the Golden Scaled Snake. He would never die alone in this life.
Walk a little further, if that doesn’t work, release the omnipotent Taifu.
…
Crash-
Half an hour later, the sea tide came in layers from afar, and the huge waves hit the high wall of fog, and the crashing waves and white foam seemed to hit the rocks.
Lu Bei looked at the cloudless sky, not knowing whether he had found his way out or had gotten lost and returned the same way.
It's not a big problem.
When you are lost, don’t think too much. Just find a stick and walk in one direction until the end.
As long as your luck is not too bad, the search and rescue dog will definitely find you before you starve to death.
"There is someone under the sea ahead."
Gu Zongchen's eyes flashed with golden light, and with his divine sense, he saw a group of people moving freely in the sea. In terms of clothing and appearance, he and Lu Bei successfully crossed the restricted area and arrived at the other side of the foggy sea.
"They are so small and unique... Are they monsters?"
Lu Bei explored with his spiritual sense, waved his hand to part the sea water, and arrived in front of the monsters.
The monsters had indigo faces, huge mouths and fangs, weird hairstyles, and all kinds of colors. They looked very much like the little monsters that Lu Bei had created using his "divine" skill.
The leading monster was huge, with broad shoulders and a strong body, more than two meters tall, covered in fish scale armor and holding a steel gun in his hand.
**The water-avoiding beast follows its master, with a green face and fangs that grow randomly, which greatly expands Lu Bei's imagination.
Seeing Lu Bei and Gu Zongchen, the monster immediately shouted: "Human cultivators in front, this is the forbidden area of Dragon Palace, what do you want to do by sneaking in here?"
"General, I have come from the East..."
"Shut up, don't talk!"
Gu Zongchen spoke in a voice full of Journey to the West. He was too aggressive and dared to speak the truth. Lu Bei interrupted and said honestly, "General, we are practicing on a remote island and came here to look for opportunities. We lost our way. Please show us the way and we will leave now."
When speaking, he uses the word "I" in a sincere and friendly manner.
“Nonsense! You even dare to tease me, the Patrol Yaksha. Come on, capture the evil monk and Taoist priest and send him to the Dragon Palace Jail for trial.” The monster who claimed to be the Patrol Yaksha was furious. He pointed his gun and the soldiers with strange looks rushed forward.
The weapons in his hands are mostly spears and swords. Although he has a supporting role, he is outnumbered by the monsters and is confident that he has the advantage.
Patrolling the sea, Yaksha returns to the Dragon Palace? !
Wow, they are really filming Journey to the West here.
Lu Bei complained in his heart, suspecting that he had traveled through time again. He was unsure about what to do and retreated behind his teammates.
Elder Tang, stop looking. There is no monkey here, so you have to go up.
Dozens of monsters came aggressively. Gu Zongchen didn't waste any words. He clasped his hands in front of his chest and used his tried-and-tested method of convincing people with reason.
First physics, then reason.
"Amitabha!"
Golden light swept across, and all the demons dropped their weapons and lay prone or bent over, groaning on the ground.
The patrolling Yaksha was the same. He was pinned down by the groaning water-avoiding beast. He was not very smart. He didn't know that Gu Zongchen had shown mercy. He only knew that he was embarrassed. He shouted angrily: "How dare the human cultivators break into the forbidden area of the Dragon Palace and dare to act so bravely. Today I will chop off your heads and parade them through the streets for public display."
Gu Zongchen smiled without saying anything, and slapped the patrolling sea yaksha, causing it to flip over on its back.
Lu Bei stood aside and watched the show. His spiritual sense detected hundreds of armored demon soldiers rushing towards him from afar, and he thought to himself, "How wonderful!"
The more people there are, the better. The more people there are, the more intelligence there is.
"How dare you, madman!!"
The split-wave rays swept over and disappeared the moment they touched Gu Zongchen. A young man in golden armor came with a gun.
The young man had a handsome appearance, eyes like ice blue, eyebrows like sharp swords, and a majestic demeanor. With the support of hundreds of ugly people, his appearance was infinitely improved, immediately surpassing Lu Bei and Gu Zongchen.
The patrolling sea yaksha was overjoyed: "Third Prince, these two people have strange identities. They broke into the forbidden area of the Dragon Palace and injured our guards..."
What, the Third Prince
Lu Bei: “…”
East China Sea, Dragon Palace, the Third Prince + Patrolling Yaksha.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss—”
That was arbitrary. He took back what he said before. It was not Journey to the West, but The Investiture of the Gods.
It turns out that Gu Zongchen is not from the Tang Dynasty in the East, but is holding the script of Nezha.
