The Secret History of Xuanmen

Chapter 326 Keeping the Saint
Seeing the memorial tablet of Gong Shuqi, I felt mixed emotions at this moment.

The figure of Chen Anbang immediately appeared in my mind. As the reincarnation of Gong Shuqi, in order to defend Dragon City from falling and prevent the path to immortality interrupted by the ancestor from reopening, he died to clarify his ambition and his soul returned to the dark world. Ground.

His handsome face wearing a peaked cap is still vivid in my mind, and it was the most comfortable time for me to deal with him. He gave me something as important as the Human Emperor Luck Stone, which shows that he also has full trust in me.

When he burned his soul in Dragon City and died together with Lu San, I felt helpless because I was too weak to fight alongside him.

And now it is a bit gratifying to see that he can be remembered by the Luban Sect in such a way.

But at the same time, I am also extremely curious. Isn't Gongshuqi the reincarnation of the cursed thing that the Luban Sect invited from the door? Why is he the leader of this mysterious holy church?

I believe this is definitely not a duplicate name. After all, no one in the Luban sect dares to use the surname Gongshu, and among so many previous hall masters, only one tablet of Gongshuqi bears the surname Gongshu.

I can't guess what role Gong Shuqi plays between Shoushengtang and the outside leader of Luban Sect.But I vaguely guessed some answers. He must have been exposed to more things than I imagined.

So from the time he carried the cauldron and handed it to Maoshan, to his later design of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, to the battle with ancestor Zhao Dengtang, everything was superficial, but in fact he planned it deliberately.

Even the four-legged coffin that brought us here was built by him back then. He must have been planning what we are doing today a thousand years ago, just like our ancestor Zhao Dengtang did.

While I was thinking about it, the old hall leader Mo Chen said: "Young descendant of the Zhao family, I know you are curious about the identity of senior Gongshu. These things are not what you should be thinking about right now."

"The most urgent thing is to think about how to pass the test. If you can come out alive, these secrets will naturally be revealed to you."

I was about to ask him what the test was and where it was, when Mo Chen pressed a mechanism button next to him.

Immediately afterwards, the tablets began to oscillate up and down like precision instruments, arranged at different heights. When they changed their formation, a door opened with a creak at the back of the ancestral hall.I stepped into the door, and the door closed in response. Before closing the door, Mo Chen's voice sounded in my ears: "This test is life-threatening, and it is almost difficult to survive. But passing it is also very simple, as long as you can come back alive." Come to this world and you will be successful.”

I don't quite understand what Mo Chen means by returning to this world. Am I going to go to another world?
Just as he was wondering, Mo Chen said again: "Boy, you chose to accept this test. If you die in it, you can't blame me. It's still too late for you to give up. If you are determined not to give up, have you seen the light ahead? Cross it and the test begins.”

Having reached this point, there is no reason to give up.

I pretended to be relaxed and said to Mo Chen: "Old Hall Master, if I fail to come back, help me send my companions out of Thousand Machines City. I will be grateful."

Having said that, I never looked back and moved forward without hesitation.

In front of me, I did see a light, which was a door-shaped light. It seemed far away, but it seemed close at hand.

This light door seemed familiar, and it reminded me of the missing door of the Luban Sect, the door through which the master of the Luban Sect was brought into the world inside the cauldron by a cursed object.

Although I don't know what kind of world is behind the door, and how it is related to the world inside the cauldron where countless disciples of the Luban Sect led by Gongshu Ban live, I move forward resolutely and regard death as home.

Finally, I came to the door of light.

In front of this door, there was a stone tablet. When I saw the inscription, I immediately cursed in my heart: "Uncle Mo Chen, why are you asking me to accept the test? You are completely asking me to die!" "

The inscription records this: Luban teaches the successive heads of the holy church, waiting for the saint to teach him.

Uncle Mo Chen didn't tell me at all that this was a test prepared for saints. It turns out that this is what it means to keep the saints in the temple!
