After a sleepless night, using his senses was very tiring, and the fight with Yuan Luochen also consumed a lot of internal energy. Gu Shengchao returned to Phoenix Castle and was exhausted, so he returned to the house and fell asleep.
It wasn't until sunset that Gu Shengchao woke up from his sleep.
He went to the kitchen to have a simple meal first, and happened to meet Tian Mang when he went out.
"That Yuan Luochen wants to see you by name. We won't pay attention to anything we say. You go and have a look." Tian Mang's expression was gloomy, and it seemed that there was nothing he could do to her.
Gu Shengchao followed Tian Mang to the room where Yuan Luochen was imprisoned. There were two people guarding the door with swords, and he walked in alone.
There were some weeds piled up in the corner of the empty hut. Yuan Luochen was lying on his side in a bundle. When he saw Gu Shengchao come in, he stared with big eyes and became angry.
It had only been a few hours since we last saw her, and she had obviously aged a lot. The wrinkles on her face were piled together and dull, as if she was seriously ill and bedridden.
Gu Shengchao was sitting next to the haystack, looking at the great master in such a state of embarrassment, and couldn't bear it in his heart.
"Whatever you want, we will try our best to satisfy you." Gu Shengchao said.
He tapped Yuan Luochen's acupuncture points, which only made her unable to move, but her speech was still unaffected.
"I want to suck blood, will you give it?" Yuan Luochen rolled his eyes at him angrily.
The ancient sage hesitated for a moment and then discussed: "Human blood is impossible, maybe some animal blood can be obtained."
"It's up to you!" Yuan Luochen acquiesced to Gu Shengchao's method.
He immediately came to the kitchen and found that he had slaughtered a big fat pig today, and there was probably still pig blood.
Sure enough, there was still some in the barrel against the wall.
Gu Shengchao explained the situation to the chef in the kitchen. The chef was easy to talk to and filled him half a bowl.
"Is this for that old witch?" Gu Shengchao was about to take the bowl when a person next to him suddenly said.
Gu Shengchao nodded: "If that old woman doesn't drink some blood, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on, so let her make up for it first."
The man was angry and knocked down the half-filled bowl of pig's blood with his hand, smashing it into pieces and scattering the pig's blood all over the floor.
"You kid, don't be impulsive. You can still fill half a piece of blood sausage." The chef looked at the pig blood on the ground and shook his head sadly.
Gu Shengchao was so angry that he stepped forward and grabbed the man's collar and shouted sternly: "This is a human life. Can you afford to pay for the death of a person?"
"What's going on? I told you a long time ago not to fight, but you turned a deaf ear?" Tian Mang came to the kitchen for something and happened to see him.
Gu Shengchao held up his hands and explained: "Brother Tian came just in time. I planned to give Yuan Luochen some pig blood, but this little brother knocked me over."
"Why should I give it to that old witch? Her life is life, but my brother's life is not life, right?" The man stretched his neck, as if he was ready to fight to the death.
Tian Mang was not angry, and patted his shoulder gently to comfort him: "We are also grieved when your brother was killed, but the deceased has passed away. We still have to look forward, so as not to be immersed in sadness all the time."
Only then did Gu Shengchao react and blamed himself: "Please forgive me, little brother. I have offended you just now. I didn't know that this old woman was the enemy who killed your brother. She has a destiny of life and death, let her go."
Not getting any blood, Gu Shengchao was also disappointed and silently walked back to the hut where Yuan Luochen was imprisoned.
"Sit down, I want to ask you something." Yuan Luochen saw Gu Sheng Chao's listless look and guessed something.
Ancient Sage Chao sat down beside him obediently, and Yuan Luochen said: "I searched every corner of the castle but found nothing. How did you get the sword skill of Phoenix Dance and Seeking the Phoenix? I hope you can tell the truth. I am a dying person." , you have no reason to hide it, right?"
Seeing that Yuan Luochen really wanted to know the answer, Gu Shengchao looked at her and said, "Senior, have you ever heard of Sima Xicheng?"
Yuan Luochen laughed sarcastically and said, "I am very familiar with him. He is the first ancestor enshrined by our Dark Moon Hall. Do you think I don't know?"
"Then in what year did he die?" Gu Shengchao asked word by word.
"This?" Yuan Luochen roughly estimated: "Young Master
They were said to be from seven or eight hundred years ago. Does the year they died have anything to do with the present? "
Gu Shengchao stared at her and said, "If I said that he passed away just a few months ago, would senior believe it?"
Yuan Luochen didn't say anything, quietly observing Gu Shengchao's expression and found that he didn't look like he was lying. However, this result was too incredible and difficult to understand.
Gu Shengchao saw the doubts in her heart and said with a smile: "To be honest, Fengwu swordsmanship was acquired in a cave in Fengming Mountain in Luoya Bay, and the three key moves were recorded on Snake Island in the Four Kings Valley. "
Seeing a surprised look on Yuan Luochen's face, he continued: "Snake Island has been burned down, and the three key moves can no longer be found. Senior, I think you should give up."
Yuan Luochen snorted coldly: "It's full of nonsense. I won't believe your rumors."
"It's up to you to believe it or not. I'm not forcing you to believe it anyway." Gu Shengchao knew that this process was too bizarre. If he hadn't experienced it personally, he probably wouldn't believe it.
Gu Shengchao pointed out the window and said: "I entered here by mistake a few months ago and saw the old man Sima Xicheng beside the big pit outside. But at that time, only his head was left, and the rest of his body was integrated into the magic vines. It was able to survive for hundreds of years with the help of magic vines to absorb nutrients.”
"Knowing that the time was coming, he integrated the Phoenix Dance sword technique and the Phoenix-seeking sword technique into the Phoenix Dance and Phoenix-seeking technique, and turned it into a piece of spiritual consciousness and passed it on to me. It's that simple." Gu Shengchao looked at Yuan Luochen.
Yuan Luochen was silent for a long time and said to himself: "God's will, God's will is like this. We have known the story of Phoenix Castle for a long time, but we all simply thought it was just a legend. In the end, we were wronged. We can't blame others."
Judging from her tone, she probably believed what Gu Shengchao said.
"I told senior the truth. There is something unclear at the moment, and I don't know if senior can answer it." Ancient Sage Chao said sincerely.
"Say it." Yuan Luochen was happy and did not hesitate.
The ancient sage said softly: "Senior is not like a member of a cult, so why should he be bloodthirsty? This seems to be the work of a cult."
Yuan Luochen fell into deep thought, and then simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep without paying attention to Gu Shengchao.
Gu Shengchao felt bored and was about to get up and leave when he heard someone knocking on the door softly and then pushing the door open.
"Brother Tian!" The ancient sage was overjoyed.
Tian Mang walked in with a porcelain bowl: "This is freshly collected pig blood, don't waste it."
The Ancient Sage was overjoyed and quickly helped Yuan Luochen sit up against the wall. He took the bowl and slowly fed Yuan Luochen.
Perhaps because she was really hungry, Yuan Luochen swallowed big mouthfuls, as if she was tasting some delicacies from the mountains and seas, which left her wanting more.
Yuan Luochen drank up the pig blood and licked off the few drops remaining on his lips with his tongue. He seemed to have an endless aftertaste.
