Chapter 165
In the Cheng'an Palace, in the retreat room, Gu Wenjing was practicing the technique of seeking heaven.
The misty Taoist rhyme fell from the sky and enveloped him. He quickly entered the state of comprehending the laws of the world. In the past, comprehending the laws was like watching flowers in fog, but now it was covered in the Taoist rhyme and comprehending the laws, as if the fog had completely disappeared, and you can see what the flowers looked like with your own eyes.
His comprehending the laws of the world was dozens of times faster, and his strength level was also increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But when he was immersed in his understanding, he suddenly felt the sense of crisis conveyed to him by the way of heaven in the dark.
Gu Wenjing opened his eyes from his retreat and frowned and looked at the direction where the sense of crisis came from...the direction of Qingyang County.
In the retreat room, Gu Wenjing took a step forward and his figure disappeared into the room.
When Gu Xiangyuan and Zhang Zhai were investigating the abnormality in Linjia Village, a figure suddenly appeared in the air. Gu Xiangyuan said in surprise: "Dad, why are you here?"
Gu Wenjing looked down at his son, then landed on the ground and walked into Linjia Village: "I found that there was a sense of crisis that made me palpitations, so I came to check it out."
Gu Xiangyuan and Zhang Zhai followed. In his opinion, it was undoubtedly the safest place to be by his father.
When Gu Wenjing walked into Linjia Village, the situation in the entire village was included in his spiritual consciousness, and there was no abnormality that could be hidden from his spiritual consciousness to investigate.
Gu Xiangyuan told him about the clues he and Zhang Zhai found in the past few days: "The people here died strangely. From the beginning of their lifetime, it seemed that they had been extracted by some monster. After death, even the energy in the flesh and bones continued to be extracted..."
Gu Wenjing did not look around and walked into a well-preserved house with clear goals.
Gu Xiangyuan said: "This room is Lin Baro's residence."
Gu Wenjing stood on the ground of the house, paused, and the ground under his feet cracked, and an object wrapped in red cloth flew in front of him from the crack.
Gu Wenjing did not use his hand to get the object wrapped in the red cloth, because the cloth was not a real ordinary red cloth, but a white cloth stained with blood. For some reason, the blood on the cloth was still fresh, and it was still bright red, emitting a strong smell of blood.
Gu Xiangyuan looked at the red cloth and frowned and said, "What is this? The smell of blood..."
Gu Wenjing's mind moved, and the blood cloth automatically dispersed, revealing the objects wrapped inside. It was a black statue, carved with a snake-headed monster, and there were three snake heads, which looked very disgusting.
He likes to exchange military merits for various classics, including but not limited to martial arts secrets and various popular science secrets. Gu Wenjing naturally recognized that this statue was a statue of an ancient god and demon.
Because he had read a collection of ancient gods and demons in the royal family, various ancient gods and demons were still very detailed in that book. After all, so many gods and demon-level powerhouses in the human race can temporarily turn into ancient gods and demons after digging their own bloodlines. Every time a new ancient god and demon appears, it will be recorded.
And the first time this ancient god and demon with snake head and human body appeared on King Qingyu.
The blood of gods and demons in King Qingyu's body comes from the ancient gods and demons with the snake-headed human body. It's just that because the image of the ancient gods and demons is too ugly, King Qingyu is very proud of his face. Unless the life and death crisis is at a critical moment, he will not use the unique trick of the real body of gods and demons.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Gu Xiangyuan looked at the statue floating in front of Gu Wenjing and couldn't help asking: "Dad, what kind of monster's statue is this?"
Gu Wenjing said: "This is not a monster, it is an ancient god and demon. King Qingyu's bloodline comes from this ancient god and demon. I just don't know how the statue of the ancient god and demon appeared here, and who buried it?"
Gu Wenjing was full of doubts, and he went to make out the ancient statues of gods and demons wrapped in red cloth from the other three places he found.
There were four places in total. After he dug out all the things everywhere, he found that an invisible aura shrouded in Linjia Village had disappeared.
Gu Wenjing suspected that someone had set up a formation in Linjia Village. The formation drew the vitality and spirituality of the whole village, but with his formation attainments, he could not see any abnormality, and could only vaguely feel that there was a qi covering the entire village.
He couldn't find the source, so he had to use the simplest and crudest method to explore the past little by little with his spiritual sense, without missing a single inch of land.
Finally, the statues of these four ancient gods and demons were discovered.
Gu Wenjing felt that these four statues should be objects of array eyes. If you dig out the four array eyes, the formation will be destroyed without attacking.
Gu Wenjing ordered Qingyang County Magistrate and the guards to surround Linjia Village and send him any abnormalities directly.
After he sent Gu Xiangyuan and Zhang Zhai back to the Cheng'an Palace, he took four strange ancient statues of gods and demons to the imperial capital to meet the Human Emperor.
The Human Emperor also left a clone to sit in the imperial capital. Gu Wenjing went to see the Human Emperor's clone here.
He handed the ancient statues of gods and demons with four snake heads and human bodies to the Human Emperor for a look. When the Human Emperor saw it, he was surprised and said, "Where did you get this?"
Gu Wenjing informed him of the crisis in his practice of asking heavenly art to sense the darkness and the discovery of strange things in Linjia Village, who dug out four ancient statues of gods and demons.
After hearing this, the Human Emperor said with a serious expression: "King Cheng'an doesn't know that the ancient gods and demons are actually divided into gods and demons. Some pity the weak and protect the weak, while others wantonly kill to create death and panic. Although they are all gods and demons, there are also evil gods and demons. The ancient gods and demons with snake heads and human bodies belong to which kind of evil. The three snake heads represent three lives, and one snake head is broken every time they die..."
The Human Emperor knows much more than Gu Wenjing saw from the book. Many things cannot be recorded, and they are passed down by word of mouth or through inheritance and memory.
Gu Wenjing listened, why did he feel that the ancient gods and demons looked like evil gods?
"No wonder that King Qing Yu is so disgusting. It turns out that he is a descendant of the evil god!"
The Human Emperor coughed awkwardly, "Human character has nothing to do with awakened bloodlines, and evil gods do not make people feel disgusted."
In fact, it is because King Qing Yu’s own temper is too stinky and annoying, and it is not because his awakened evil god bloodline is annoying.
Gu Wenjing left two ancient statues of gods and demons with snake heads and human bodies for the Human Emperor, and he returned to Cheng'an County with the remaining two statues.
That faint sense of crisis has not disappeared. As long as he is in Cheng'an County, it will always be shrouded in his heart, giving him a bad premonition.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Just when Gu Wenjing dug out the ancient statue of gods and demons in Linjia Village, the man in the black robe who was far away in the Fuyang Mountains was discussing a specific action plan for dealing with the Demon Emperor suddenly shook his body, and then looked up at Cheng'an County: "Damn, the small death-death failure array I arranged was actually broken!"
The small death-dead failure array arranged by the man in black robe is actually a simplified version of the real death-dead failure array. The arrangement is low and the difficulty of breaking the formation is naturally low. All four formation eyes are found and dug out, and the formation can be broken by accident.
But the man in black robe didn't know that Gu Wenjing accidentally broke it, because he buried the four array eyes very deeply, so it was impossible for someone to dig three feet into the ground to search, right? The chance of being discovered unexpectedly was zero. The man in black robe thought that someone had a high level of formation, so he found the four array eyes of the simplified version of the Death Failure Array.
This made the black-robed man who discussed with the Demon Emperor why he arranged a death-breaking array in Cheng'an County to sacrifice the creatures in the entire county without knowing it. Should he change the place? He always felt that Gu Wenjing was very evil, and no one who opposed Gu Wenjing had a good result!
Originally, he chose Cheng'an County as the sacrifice site to revenge Gu Wenjing. After the sacrifice, any strong person who entered the death-breaking array would become a person who was disgusted with the way of heaven. He planned to trick Gu Wenjing into the same way while plotting against the Human Emperor.
The Demon Emperor noticed the abnormal behavior of the man in black robe and asked, "What's wrong?"
The man in black robe said in a slightly hoarse voice: "A small formation I arranged in Cheng'an County was broken."
When the Demon Emperor heard "Cheng'an County", he subconsciously thought of the King Cheng'an, the human race who dared to mock him. He looked at the dark purple robe on his body, and the Demon Emperor was furious.
If it weren't for the damn human race, how could he not have worn gorgeous feathered clothes? Unfortunately, his feathers had not yet fully grown. The feathered clothes that appeared were so bare that it was easy to make people laugh at, so he had to change a velvet.
But the Demon King, who cherishes feathers the most, held a deep grudge in his heart. He decided to wait until his hair grows all over before seeking revenge on Gu Wenjing.
However, as the man in black robe suggested that the sacrifice to Gu Wenjing's territory, Cheng'an County, was to kill Gu Wenjing, and the Demon Emperor supported it.
The man in black robe hesitated and said, "I am worried that someone in Cheng'an County may recognize the death-breaking array. In order to avoid the troubles, we should choose another county to sacrifice!"
Although he resented Gu Wenjing and wanted to kill Gu Wenjing immediately, he felt that it was the most important thing to fulfill the orders of the Lord. This was his greatest mission, and he had to complete it at all costs. As for the rest, it was not important.
The man in the black robe shrouded under the black robe, looking at the Demon Emperor with a pity, and felt a little regretful: "If the Demon Emperor hadn't been too cautious and timid, and directly instigated him to go to the Lord, what else would he use to sacrifice? The Lord directly borrowed the Demon Emperor's demon body to resurrect, which was the best choice."
The Demon King didn't know that the man in black robe was thinking about his body. He was also dissatisfied with the man in black robe's retreat: "You have to give up for such a small matter. Are the messengers of gods and demons like you a coward?"
