Gu Xu stood motionless, quietly digesting this massive amount of information.
His brows were furrowed and his eyes were extremely solemn.
"Gu Xu, are you okay?" Shi Xiaohan looked at him worriedly and gently tugged on his sleeve.
"I'm fine." Gu Xu took a deep breath and finally came to his senses.
The information Kong Xuan Sanren poured into his mind was too shocking.
He never expected that in the past few years, Kongxuan Sanren would turn into the most mysterious and terrifying "third evil god" after his ascension failed, and he would formulate a huge and thorough plan to try to be promoted to become the Ghost King.
The plan was carried out quietly around him.
But he was completely unaware of this.
He would even involuntarily forget some key things under the influence of Kong Xuan Sanren's cause and effect technique.
This made Gu Xu deeply scared.
He held the "Divine Machine Token" in his pocket and tried to contact "Kun" Chu Fengge and "Linghu" Shangguan Jin with his mind, but found that the "Divine Machine Token" had no reaction at all, as if it had turned into an ordinary person. Common copper block.
Not far away, the eldest prince Xiao Shangzhen and his personal attendant Fan Cheng also took out one magic weapon after another and tried to use various means to ask for help from the outside world. However, judging from their lifeless expressions, it was obvious that they had no choice. success.
As expected, Kongxuan Sanren has cut off Qingzhou Mansion's connection with the outside world.
According to Kongxuan Sanren, in the next period of time, the "Nine-Baby Snake Demon" will massacre in Qingzhou Mansion until a hundred thousand souls are gathered as sacrifices to help him be promoted to the "Ghost King".
This made Gu Xu feel even heavier.
The horrific scene of the "Nine Infant Snake Demon" devouring the original owner's parents eight years ago is still vivid in my mind now.
His boss Chen Jisheng is still fighting nearby.
His colleagues are either still on duty at the Yamen, or resting at home to spend time with their families.
In this horrific disaster, they are likely to become one of the 100,000 sacrifices.
Gu Xu has never felt his weakness so deeply as he did today.
In this place isolated from the outside world, his and Shi Xiaohan's life and death depended on Kong Xuan Sanren's thoughts.
With his current strength, he may not even be able to protect himself.
Not to mention stopping Kong Xuan Sanren's plan.
Just as Gu Xu was thinking hard about how to break the situation, the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan next to him suddenly looked at the clones of Kongxuan Sanren and said with a fearful expression: "You... what exactly do you want to do? But... can you let go first? Are we leaving? I am just an insignificant intruder..."
Perhaps because of his nervousness, the eldest prince's words sounded a little incoherent.
Hearing what he said, the white-bearded old man chuckled and said, "What if I let you go back and you go tell others about it?"
"I swear, I will never tell anyone about what happened here!" Xiao Shangyuan said without thinking. His words became smoother instantly.
"Even if Qingzhou Mansion is destroyed, even if the people of Qingzhou Mansion suffer countless casualties due to the rampage of the 'Nine Infant Snake Demon', you will not tell anyone about it?" The white-bearded old man slowed down his speech and spoke in a playful tone. Then asked.
"I promise not!" Xiao Shangyuan said firmly.
The white-bearded old man couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I never expected that the son of Emperor Tianxing would be such a person who is afraid of death..."
At this point, he waved his hand gently, and Xiao Shangyuan and Fan Cheng beside him instantly passed out and fell to the ground.
At the same time, he said casually: "What two troublesome guys!"
Fan Cheng, a monk in the sixth realm, and Xiao Shangyuan, a monk in the fifth realm who practiced the "Dragon Heart Sutra", were completely powerless to resist in front of the Kongxuan Sanren who turned into a ghost.
Seeing such a scene, Gu Xu pursed his lips into a straight line.
Shi Xiaohan next to him even exclaimed and couldn't help but take a step back, without any color on his face.
At this time, the eyes of the white-bearded old man and the other eight clones fell on Gu Xu again.
The hunchbacked old man took the lead and said with a smile: "Boy named Gu, you should have understood the whole story by now!"
The middle-aged man who performed the "mouse play" said calmly while playing with the mouse in his hand: "As our descendant, you happened to appear in front of us on an auspicious day like today... Should this be said? Where is our destiny?"
The old white-bearded Taoist waved his fly whisk and said with a smile: "Everything in the world has a cause and effect. Perhaps now is the time to hand over our true inheritance to you!"
Gu Xu looked at them with alert eyes: "You... what do you want me to do?"
His intuition told him that what Kong Xuan Sanren wanted him to do was definitely not a good thing.
"After reading our story, you may already know that there is something wrong with the practice method in this world," the old white-bearded Taoist said slowly, "The ninth realm [the path to immortality] is essentially a lie."
Gu Xu remained silent.
He had long felt that the name Ninth Realm was incompatible with other realms such as "Ghost Gate" and "Huangquan Road".
In the deepest part of the underworld, how could there be a road leading to the fairy world?
It sounds very unreasonable.
But now, Kongxuan Sanren seems to have confirmed with personal experience that the so-called "way to immortality" is indeed a scam.
"This world filled with gloomy energy is itself a world of ghosts and monsters," the hunchbacked old man stepped forward and said, "Humans are just aliens among them.
"Human cultivation requires relying on elixirs to live towards death. If you are not careful, you will go crazy and die.
"But ghosts only need to follow their instincts and devour humans or their own kind to continue to grow stronger."
The old white-bearded Taoist also spoke: "All the so-called great avenues in this world, such as the 'way of cause and effect', 'the way of runes', 'the way of killing'... are just heretical ways.
"Only transforming into a ghost is the true path to the peak of power."
After he finished speaking, the old man with a white beard waved his whisk lightly, and then a gray light penetrated Gu Xu's forehead.
A complicated practice method instantly appeared in Gu Xu's mind——
It was the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique" that he mentioned many times in his notes.
"My heir, this is the real inheritance I want to hand over to you," the old white-bearded Taoist said with a kind smile on his face, "I think that with your talent far beyond ordinary people, as long as you are willing to practice this spell seriously, I’m afraid it won’t be long before you can stand at the top of this world with me.”
