The fake prince was exposed at the beginning, and I took office as emperor on the spot

Chapter 45: There is a loyal lone person in the Demon Cult!

Among the ten paths of the Demon Cult, the followers of the "Measurement" path are considered the most harmless and neutral, and usually they are only responsible for providing support.

However, as a force that possesses the wall-hanging attribute of "space", the method of "measurement" is not easy to use.

In the later stages of the war, the large-scale dynamic formation "Jingweijian" set up by the "Measurement" Taoist Master [General Qianmo] played an important role.

——The so-called "between longitude and latitude" is the bardo underworld, which is located between the longitude and latitude of heaven and earth. It is the place where the souls of the dead linger in folk legends. Relying on the "measurement" method of "General Qianmo", a passage has been opened up for people to travel through.

Anyone who is marked with a measurement mark will be included in this transmission system and become part of the formation.

And every believer who "measures" is a part of it. They only need to be in place and they can form a formation at will to affect the entire covered area.

Whether it is folding, hiding, reversing, nesting, looping, or dislocation, they are all part of the "measurement" method and are very practical in actual combat.

The Demon Cult's cave stronghold is also a formation supported by the "measurement" of believers.

The longitude and latitude fortune-telling of the "Six Star Gods" also requires the cooperation of this large-scale formation to complete the repeated transfer of the six causal lines he split out, and ultimately make the spatial coverage wide enough.

Of course, the Demon Cult is a Demon Cult after all, and the evil of this formation lies in that once the formation is formed, the "measuring" believers who are part of the formation are equivalent to "human stakes" and can only be nailed in the gap called the bardo and the underworld to maintain the operation of the formation.

Only when the formation is lifted by "General Qianmo" can the human stake be restored.

But under normal circumstances, even if the formation is lifted, the human stake will have already lost its mind and become useless.

And if the formation is broken by someone, the "measurement" power will dissipate, and the human stake will be directly crushed into a pool of bloody mud by the pressure of the bardo underworld.

Similarly, outsiders cannot enter the "longitude and latitude room" and will suffer the same fate if they enter.

Even if garlic is squeezed in, it is still an outsider.jpg
Therefore, Gu Fangchen needs this measurement mark.

Simply put, he knew the underlying code of the "Longitude and Latitude" formation, but without this secret key, he couldn't even enter the interface for editing the code.

At least with his current Shinto cultivation, he cannot copy the secret key that can be bestowed by the level of "General Qianmo".

And Gu Fangchen actually took advantage of a loophole.

Because General Qianmo was confident in his formation, the measurement marks did not distinguish between friend and foe.

However, normally, no one can crack the "longitude and latitude".

But no matter what...

"General Qianmo" is the best figure in the art of formation in the Wei Dynasty. He has been obsessed with the art of formation all his life and can be said to be a "formation maniac".

In order to complete one of the achievements - collecting all the formations, Gu Fangchen maxed out the favorability of "General Qianmo" when he was on the Demon Sect line [Demons Descend to Earth].

In that line, Gu Fangchen was a well-known loyal minister of the Demon Cult. In the later process of competing with Xu Fu, many members of the Demon Cult could not hold on and chose to betray, but only Gu Fangchen remained loyal.

Even the leader of the "Path of Love" had to sigh when he saw it, there is a loyal lone person in the Demon Sect!

In this situation, Gu Fangchen naturally became a close friend of "General Qianmo" by relying on his attainments in formation.

Then he saved the game and deliberately let the Demon Cult be destroyed. At the last moment, he tricked "General Qianmo" so that he was besieged by the righteous and seriously injured.

When General Qianmo was about to die, he handed over the "Jingweijian" formation to his beloved friend Gu Fangchen for control.

Therefore, at present, there are only two people in the world who can control the "longitude and latitude".

One of them is the player Gu Fangchen.

Gu Fangchen stretched out the hand that had just held the sword, and a white cross-shaped mark appeared on his palm.

This is the measurement mark.

His eyes flickered as he looked up at Emperor Yong'an behind the curtain and said:

"I can find the 'toothsmith,' and he's the only one in the world who can create a fake 'Lotus in the Womb'."

"It just... requires a little price."

Emperor Yong'an pondered and said:

"A tooth that's rare and precious enough?"

He naturally knew the existence of the "tooth craftsman", one of the ancestors of the "crafts" and the elusive ancestor of all craftsmen.

This guy's quirk is collecting all kinds of teeth. And a tooth that's worth as much as the "Lotus in the Womb"...

Emperor Yong'an looked calmly at the serious-faced young man opposite him, and couldn't help but suspect that the boy might be coveting his teeth.

In fact, Gu Fangchen did think so for a moment... After all, the emperor's teeth, which are stained with the country's destiny, can indeed be said to be one of the most precious and rare teeth in the world.

Of course, this is a plan that can only be used when the true identity of Emperor Yong'an is unknown.

Now... I'd better not do anything stupid.

Gu Fangchen clasped his fists solemnly and said:
"Your Majesty, please allow me to take a tooth of 'rules'."

——Since Emperor Yong'an didn't ask him to kneel, he would just go with the flow and not kneel.

This "rule" is nothing else but the name of a turtle-shaped spirit beast raised in Huangtian City.

Even this thing is right in front of the Ziji Palace.

It's just that it sleeps with a stone tablet on its back all year round and is often mistaken for a statue.

This spiritual beast is the same age as the Great Wei. It was the guardian beast left in the city by the Confucian sage when the founding emperor and the Confucian sage signed an alliance.

It was named "Guizhi" not only because this spirit beast symbolizes the establishment of order in the Wei Dynasty, but also because this beast has the magical power to examine one's conscience.

Anyone who breaks the rules will be exposed in front of this spirit beast.

Therefore, this spirit beast was raised in front of the Ziji Palace to intimidate civil and military officials and prevent corruption and self-interest.

However, Emperor Yong'an was "kind" and the court was "clear-minded", so it was not used many times over the years.

Considering the difficulty of obtaining a tooth of this sacred beast, its value is indeed comparable to that of a sacred object of the Tara religion.

Emperor Yong'an was also startled, then raised an eyebrow, knowing the boy's intention, and said in a deliberately cold voice:

"Did you know that this 'rule' was left behind by a Confucian sage?"

"Even I cannot break the rules, let alone ask you to take a tooth."

Gu Fangchen straightened his chest and said righteously:

"Of course I know!"

He blinked.

"So, Your Majesty, just pretend you don't know anything. I will run away on my own."

Emperor Yongan: “…”

What a great guy who can run by himself.

He said solemnly, "You are going to go against the Confucian sage."

Gu Fangchen bowed indifferently and said:
"I am an ignorant dandy who grew up at the foot of Huangtian City. I only know Your Majesty, not the Confucian sages!"

He is very familiar with being a loyal lone man!
Emperor Yong'an suddenly laughed heartily and said leisurely:
"Okay, I agree."

He pointed far away:
"The 'rule' is right there. If you want teeth, go get them yourself."

……

Zhenbei Palace, main courtyard.

"Teacher, respectfully, I am a dull student, deceived by wicked men, which has caused my heart of truth to be clouded and my path to the Way to be obstructed."

Gu Yuandao calmed down and wrote on the scroll floating in front of him.

"Master, please help me, use the rules to check my conscience and defeat the thief."

P.S. I had already planned to release it tomorrow, but I suddenly felt unwell. I barely managed to take three painkillers before I could get up to write. It was so uncomfortable.

I'll post a simple thank you for the release later, and I'll try to update more tomorrow... Sorry, sorry
