The Old Gods Are Whispering

Chapter 379 Gu Jianlin’s way

 Gu Jianlin felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Huge fear exploded in his mind. If his self-control had not been strong enough, he might have lost his composure at this time.

Two hundred years ago, Qing and Chi fought to the death in Buzhou Mountain. In the end, this devastating battle ended with Qing's victory. In the end, Qing also got his wish and mastered the ultimate law of Youying. He stood in an evolutionary chain. At the end of the world, it is precisely because of this that he can show quasi-supreme fighting power and get rid of the shackles of divine punishment.

 Because Divine Punishment is a weapon created to deal with natural disasters.

 In fact, Qing is already out of the category of natural disaster, because the quasi-supreme level means one thing.

 That is the King of Blue, who has already surpassed the ancestor.

 The Red King is the loser in this dispute, but if you think about it carefully, you will find a problem.

  They are also the strongest ones standing at the top of the evolutionary chain, but there are differences between the President and the Blue King.

"This is the problem. I think you should have figured it out. The president has almost absolute control over the evolutionary chain of heavenly beings. Every heavenly being can master the law of candle light only with her permission. For the past two hundred years, Come on, Skylark is the only one who is an outlier, and so far we don’t know how she did it.”

Gu Jianlin suddenly had a bold idea.

That’s why amphibious creatures like them can break the limitations of the evolutionary chain.

 Become the most powerful being independent from the evolutionary chain!

 He tried calling the bad woman inside his body, but unfortunately he didn't get any response.

 The skylark must be asleep.

Number five tapped the frequency and continued to him: "The Blue King does not have absolute control over the evolutionary chain he is in. The vast majority of evolvers in this world are in the dark world. Therefore, we believe that the Blue King should There is something crucial missing. That thing should be Chi’s legacy.”

Gu Jianlin nodded slightly, this guess was very reasonable.

At that time, Qing and Chi re-enacted the Law of the Shadow together. After they turned against each other, they would naturally hide something from each other.

No. 5 continued: "This is the most important task for us to stay dormant in Tokyo, to find the legacy left by the Red King. Since it can prevent the Youying Group from continuing to destroy the world, it can also check and balance the Blue King."

Gu Jianlin was silent for a moment. Sure enough, the Ether Association was still wary of the teacher.

 The teacher doesn’t seem to want to maintain order. He has his own views on the world.

Although he was caught in the middle, he didn't feel too embarrassed.

Things of the previous generation have nothing to do with him.

 He just hopes that everyone around him can find peace and joy.

Since the grievances between the previous generation cannot be resolved, the conflict itself should be eliminated.

"As for why we think Chi did it on purpose, if you really know this person, you will find that he is full of malice and ridicule towards the world. If you want to find a word to describe the Blue King, then this word is undoubtedly Aloof. If you want to find a word to describe the Red King, it must be bad."

Wu Hao's breathing seemed a little heavy, and the frequency of tapping increased: "The Red King is both a genius and a madman. He is talented and elegant and arrogant. He seems to be passionate, but in fact he is extremely cold-blooded. No one in this world can guess it." His thoughts. He doesn’t love anyone and will sacrifice anyone to achieve his goals.”

“The Red King’s cold-bloodedness is terrifying. He can even sacrifice his own fiancée. The girl’s family members have all become victims of the experiment, just because they are more sensitive to the law of the ghost than ordinary people.”

"His mentor, his teammates, his family, and his enemies are all his tools without exception. If you are of no value to him, you will die miserably. If you are of value to him, maybe you will A worse death. He enjoyed fooling the world, even though he claimed he didn't want to watch the world burn."

Gu Jianlin tried to construct an image of the pair of senior brothers in his mind.

 The aloofness and arrogance of the Blue King, the madness and badness of the Red King.

 Green and red are like two diametrically opposed gods, with their respective shadows covering half of the world.

“Do you think the Red King lost on purpose?”

"It's very possible, because he doesn't care much about his own life."

 “A madman who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals, what does he want to do?”

 “This is what we want to find out.”

 The silence lasted for a while.

"If the Red King is such a person, then even if he is really dead, his malice will still envelope the world, and the Scourge Meteor will not be his only backup plan. It is too simple for him. ." Gu Jianlin also tapped the microphone. This matter must be treated with caution as it is better to believe it or not.

“After the death of the Red King, his inheritance fell into the hands of his biological father.”

Wu Hao explained: "Jiang Chunyang inherited everything from his son and became the only master of the dark world. He has been ruling the dark world for two hundred years. No one knows what he is plotting. Don't underestimate Jiang Chunyang. , the older they are, the more dangerous they are, as their bodies will exude the smell of decay."

 “Like a hyena on the grassland, coveting you all the time.”

This little girl is only about ten years old, but her rhetoric can make people smell the creepy smell of blood: "Don't bleed in front of him, otherwise he will reveal his most ferocious and greedy side and eat your flesh and blood alive."

Gu Jianlin thought that he was indeed seeking skin from a tiger, and he weighed the worn-out doll in his hand.

 “What’s in this?”

He asked calmly: "Ah Qi has been guarding Ah Qi for so many years before handing it over to me. It should be very important."

　　　五号’s response was succinct and to the point: “The petals of the Lotus of Dark Ying.”

Gu Jianlin’s hand holding the old stuffed doll flicked like an electric shock.

 Xu Fu once told him when he was in Penglai Immortal Island that one of the supreme symbols of the ancient gods was the sun candle, and the corresponding ultimate holy object was the golden sacred tree that reached the sky and the earth.

Theoretically, another supreme symbol of the ancient gods, Taiyin Youying, would also correspond to something.

Now he knows the answer.

The Lotus of Nether Ying!

"This is something your father obtained after a life of nearly death. It is said that the Nether Ying Lotus does not exist on the earth at all. Its petals are also brought by meteorites from outer space, so it is a non-renewable resource. The petals of the Nether Ying Lotus It can lift the curse of the Zhuzhao Sacred Tree, you need to use it to gain the trust of the Jiang family."

　　number 5 finally typed a string of cipher text and responded: "Good luck to you."

 Communication is interrupted.

 Gu Jianlin hid the worn-out doll in his pocket, walked slowly up the long stone steps, followed the sound of the bells and passed through the huge red torii gate. He didn't know when he was alone.

 The subordinates of the Si family, including Mr. Si, seemed to have evaporated out of thin air.

 He guessed that he must have entered a kind of alchemical field, and it was still the Wake-up Bell that was causing trouble.

 This is an independent time and space, and everyone who accompanied him was separated from him.

If he was not mentally immune, he would probably see endless hallucinations at this moment.

A shrill wail came from the silence, and one could feel the rhythms of life disappearing.

The ancient shrine has become a river of blood. At the end of the stone steps are broken bronze pillars. Prisoners covered with bruises are tied to them, and the priests in red are beating them with **** whips.

 Click!

 A prisoner’s head was violently whipped off with a **** whip.

His head rolled like a ball and fell to the ground.

 “Useless waste, people don’t know anything about it after being used.”

The priest in red swung his **** whip and said coldly: "Sixty million dollars can buy you off, but how will you take away your property when you die? Watch out, this is the price for betraying the dark world!"

Gu Jianlin looked down at the dead head and looked up at the shrine.

 A heavy bronze bell was placed across the air, and the sound of the bell left the prisoners defenseless.

 “Heh, here comes another one.”

That was a one-eyed old man. He knelt down before the heavy bronze bell and prayed devoutly.

 When he noticed that another person was coming, he grinned: "I hope you are clean."

In addition, there are many people kneeling on the ground. They are obviously people who have never committed any betrayal. They are praying devoutly to the bell, just like pilgrims, swearing to dedicate their lives to their own. Owner.

 “Kneel down.”

The red-clothed priest looked at him coldly and said indifferently: "This is the Awakening Bell. If you hide the devil in your heart, then all the demons and monsters will be invisible under the sound of the bell. If your heart is pure, then please Swear to the bell and swear that you will always be loyal to the darkness and will not betray you in this life."

 “Don’t try to resist.”

His voice was as hoarse as scraping iron: "Young Master Chu Ge is watching from outside."

Gu Jianlin frowned instinctively, saying that he could swear allegiance to the dark world.

The old ghosts who are loyal to the Jiang family are pretty much the same.

 He glanced at the people kneeling in front of the Awakening Bell.

It is obviously impossible for him to kneel down and worship like a stupid believer.

 He never believed that there were gods in this world.

 Because the definition of God is omniscience and omnipotence.

Even the ancient supreme beings have things they cannot do, so they are not true gods.

 It is not worthy of belief.

 “Sorry, I refuse.”

 His eyes showed no emotion as he said coldly.

 The red-clothed priest nodded with satisfaction, and then reacted: "What did you say?"

Gu Jianlin repeated: "I said, I refuse."

Not only the red priest, but also the believers who knelt in front of the Awakening Bell stared at him in surprise.

According to Shadow's plan, Gu Jianlin wants to successfully clear away the suspicion on himself, and then offer the solution to the curse of the Zhuzhao Sacred Tree, thereby completely gaining the Jiang family's trust and spying on his secrets.

 But he has never been one to act within a plan.

 So he also made another set of plans for emergencies.

 “Is the Awakening Bell omnipotent?”

Gu Jianlin suddenly asked: "Can the Awakening God Bell be effective on anyone? Can the Awakening God Bell make the president of the Ether Association tell the truth? Can the Awakening God Bell make the King of Blue reveal his inner secrets? ?”

 “There is never anything absolute in this world.”

He said indifferently: "Get out of the way, I want to see the head of the Jiang family."

The red-clothed priest looked stern and scolded: "Is this the old master that you can see?"

He suddenly drew his sword, and the sword with a cold light shot through the air, emitting a shrill scream.

 The way to kill ghosts, the sixth-level soul master!

With such a sharp sword, it is completely impossible to see the trajectory of the blade. Only the star-like light of the sword flashes out. This is the Iai Slash in the field of divine speed, as chilling and poetic as the evening cherry blossoms.

His sword skills have obviously been refined over time, and it stands to reason that he can instantly kill anyone below the sixth level.

 This is the power of the ghost-killing path. As long as you are weaker than me, you have no chance at all.

There was a clang, which was the sound of the blade being blocked.

 Gu Jianlin’s expressionless face was holding the blood-colored ghost sword in his backhand, with scarlet blood flowing on the blade. He held the sword that was slashing across him so easily, causing invisible ripples in the void.

"I know what you are thinking. Why didn't my knife break? If everyone only used common sense to think about problems like you, then the world would be absurd and funny. You would be trapped in the thinking cocoon you set up for yourself. If you live there, you can only find a ridiculous belief to worship in an attempt to cover up your fear."

 Gu Jianlin glanced at the simple and heavy Awakening God Bell, including the believers who were kneeling in front of the ancient bell: "It's a pity that such people are really useful? They can't help you solve the problem, and they can't save you at the critical moment."

The red-clothed priest was extremely angry and tried his best to press down the blade, trying to overwhelm him with strength.

Gu Jianlin's pupils were filled with a terrifying blood color, and the sleeping spiritual genes released ancient majestic aura, washing through the human body like a torrent. Endless power flowed along the blood vessels and meridians, as if he had been reborn. Such changes allowed him to break the boundaries of race and ascend to the realm of the ancient gods.

 Blood-colored dragon horns, scarlet vertical pupils, and protruding forehead bones, like an evil ghost.

The blade trembled, like another ancient bell roaring.

 He suddenly vibrated the sword, and huge power burst out from his wrist.

The red-clothed priest was actually knocked back by him. The wrist holding the knife was numb, and the tiger's mouth was cracked.

Gu Jianlin indifferently pressed forward step by step, slashing roughly with his sword in an unskillful manner. His movements were so broad and wide, but the criss-crossing sword lights almost overlapped and flickered in the darkness. inside.

Faced with this violent sword force, the red-clothed priest could only block with his sword. However, every time he blocked the sword, he had to withstand such a powerful force that the bones in his body were shaken to pieces, and he could hardly hold on. My own knife.

At this moment, Gu Jianlin's sword missed the target, and the blade suddenly tore through time and space, leaving a dark scar.

　　A shrill sound of breaking through the air came from behind.

That was when the red-clothed priest used teleportation to move behind him and tried to kill him with a knife.

With a click, time and space were torn apart, leaving a black and sharp knife mark, exposing the original darkness of the universe.

Gu Jianlin's body and head were separated, but no blood was spilled, because what was severed was only the afterimage left when he teleported. His true body had already disappeared the moment the blade struck, and his speed was as fast as Ghost!

The priest in red missed his sword and fell to the ground in shock.

 Before he even had time to react, he was enveloped by a huge shadow.

The evening cherry blossoms were falling in the ancient shrine. Gu Jianlin fell from the sky like an eagle pounced on its prey. He held the blood-colored ghost sword tightly in his hands. The blade burst out with a violent arc of lightning, and the light of the sword was like lightning!

With a click, the red priest's back was torn apart, and he was almost cut in half with one knife!

Blood gushed out like a waterfall.

The priest was sitting on his knees on the ground, with a horrified expression on his face.

This kind of injury is not fatal, but he lost.

  lost to a person of lower rank than oneself.

Gu Jianlin flicked the blade casually, and the blood that came to his face was cut off by him without a drop of blood splashing on his body.

The prisoners were stunned, and even the believers forgot to breathe.

 Only the remaining priests realized the crisis and rushed in without hesitation with their swords drawn.

 There were swords in all directions.

 The killing intent was as strong as a tsunami, and it would drown him at any time.

Gu Jianlin looked at the priests coming towards him and brushed the cherry blossoms off his shoulders.

 The shadows had done their homework for him in advance, and he knew what to do next.

"I know that this is an alchemical matrix, an independent small space. Each independent small space has a formation eye, and the person guarding the formation eye is you. I don't know how to crack the formation, so I can only solve the guard. People who use the formation. Between the super-dimensional levels, the difference at each level is not big."

Gu Jianlin passed him with the **** ghost sword, ignoring the priests coming towards him.

“These words I said are not meant for you. Don’t think that I am mocking you. I know that someone is staring at this illusion, and he should be eager to get some clues from the betrayer.”

Facing the heavy bronze bell, he raised the **** ghost sword with his backhand: "After all, he is in pain now."

　　With the shrill sound of breaking through the sky, he actually threw the Nine Yins at the Awakening God Bell!

 A bang.

His voice was drowned by the huge roar.

  ·

　　In the old shrine of Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, Mr. Tsukasa faced the toughest moment in his life.

 “I think you are making things difficult for my family members.”

The old man sat cross-legged on the ground and slammed the tea cup: "We, the Si family, were forcibly detained in the illusion by you. Some of them did have small thoughts, but they are not considered betrayals. Why? Are they going to be punished too? I need an explanation, otherwise I will never give up today."

Tonight is a night of rage for the Jiang family. Members of the five major families were forcibly investigated, and they dared not speak out in anger.

Even if immediate family members were forcibly detained because of the Jiang family's suspicion, they all had the sense to say nothing.

Just hope that the anger does not spread to yourself.

 There is one family exception.

Not only did they not swallow their anger, but they even started to rise up!

 This family is the Si family!

“You yourself know what the Si family has done.”

Jiang Chuge was dressed in a white suit and sat cross-legged opposite him. He poured him a cup of hot tea and said expressionlessly: "The Si family once fought with the Hermitage for the fragments of the Kirin Wedge. People have cooperated. We still don’t know whether the fragment is in your hands.”

He raised his eyes: "Your family is the most suspicious, so we must investigate carefully."

Mr. Si sneered: "Investigation? I think it's public revenge, right?"

With a bang, he slapped the table: "I want to see Patriarch Jiang!"

Jiang Chuge looked at him in surprise, frowned and said, "No."

 The old man in front of me is simply crazy.

 Grandpa’s state can almost be described as crazy.

 Let’s not talk about whether you can see it as you see it based on your status.

 If we do meet him, you may not survive.

"This is a marriage contract drawn up by the military advisor himself. Miss Yue Ji's excellence is obvious to all. Our family is willing to put aside some of the past grudges and marry her. Why not? Your Jiang family has never fulfilled its obligations to her, and some people have even done so openly. He suppressed her secretly and once tried to curb her growth."

Mr. Si snorted coldly: "Although my Si family has done the same thing, now we have sincerely expressed our regrets and offered a certain amount of compensation, and Miss Yueji also happily accepted it."

 He ​​raised his eyes and looked at the silent woman under the statue: "The Jiang family is too small if they do this."

Jiang Chuge squinted his eyes, and he realized that the old man seemed to be a little different today.

How dare you accuse the Jiang family of failing to fulfill their obligations to the girl.

 And in front of that woman.

Jiang Mingyan, one of the members of Dusk, codenamed Yaoye.

Jiang Chuge didn't know much about this mysterious aunt, but many people in the Jiang family were afraid of her.

 He was supposed to be guarding the Awakening Bell today.

For some reason, Jiang Mingyan also came here, staring at the statue in the shrine without saying a word.

 “I know what you mean.”

After Jiang Chuge noticed that his aunt had no reaction, he said indifferently: "Your most beloved nephew is still in the illusion and has not come out. I can understand your feelings as a father. But I must say that this is the rule set by my grandfather. If you cannot pass the test of the Awakening God Bell, you will never be able to come out in this life."

 He paused: "Even if my grandfather sees you, he will not agree to your request."

There is a simple bronze bell outside the shrine, and its sound echoes in the night.

 In the overlapping time and space realms, there is an identical shrine.

There will be a lot of **** things happening there.

  Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is a good park and can be regarded as a treasure place for leisure and vacation.

 They don’t want this place to be stained with blood either.

Mr. Si was silent for a moment, and a strange smile appeared on his old face.

 “No, you misunderstood.”

He said calmly: "I was not making a request to you just now, but I was telling you that I want to see Patriarch Jiang today. No matter what happens, I want to see him, and I will definitely see him."

At this time, he actually showed a touch of the arrogance of a superior, and his voice was extremely indifferent: "I just want to inform you, so that you won't have time to prepare. Miss Yue Ji is already on her way here, and this is the first time she has seen her relatives. Grandpa, after all, her marriage contract needs the blessing of the elders.”

At this time, Jiang Mingyan turned around in the shadows, his sharp eagle eyes seeming to pierce him.

Jiang Chuge was also stunned.

"Secondly, I am not worried that my nephew will not be able to come out of the illusion."

Mr. Si turned around and looked at the bronze bell: "Look at it."

With a bang, the Awakening Bell exploded!

Time and space were violently distorted, and someone walked out with a knife, the blade still dripping with blood.

“I’m sorry, this way of meeting may have been a bit rough, and it also caused some property damage.”

The young man said calmly: "Your method of torture is indeed a bit too low-level."
