Chapter 161 Eight pictures in one (3)
Lu Jian asked: "What chance?" Gu Zhen took out the ring of the God of Wealth and said with a smile: "The God of Wealth is divided into things, and there is only one ring. Whoever gets this ring will be the old man's real successor. The Western God of Wealth lost five years ago." I gave it to me, and I have a heart in my heart. This time I come to the east, I must find my place. If you don’t want to be strong, but if you have desires, I have a way to restrain her. As for the old man, he was seriously injured in the battle of the Forbidden City, and now he must retreat to recuperate. If we can restrain the Western God of Wealth before he leaves the customs, we may be able to resolve this catastrophe. However, the time of this retreat can be long or short, if we want to win, we have to see God's will."

At this time Yu Chuan came for lunch, Gu Zhen kept silent, Yu Chuan left, and then he said in a low voice: "Yu Chuan and Hong Shu belong to the old man, and the old man must have retreated to recuperate, and the news of leaving the mountain has not yet reached their ears. in."

After finishing the meal, Lu Jian suddenly said, "Gu Zhen, you should go see your mother... Cough, there was a last resort for her to leave you back then."

Gu Zhen remained silent, looked out the window, shook his head and said, "Forget it!" Lu Jian said anxiously, "Didn't you say that the living cannot be dragged down by the dead, and today cannot be dragged down by yesterday. You can forgive me." Can't this enemy's son forgive his own mother?"

"Good guy!" Gu Zhen looked at Lu Jian and sneered, "Since when did you become Shang Qingying's lobbyist?" Lu Jian said, "I can see that you won't forgive Mom just because you have too much affection for her. You can't tolerate her leaving you." Gu Zhen protested: "Nonsense." Lu Jian said: "Then why did you come to Middle Earth to find her regardless of everything back then?"

Gu Zhen was at a loss for words for a while, but every word Lu Jian said pierced his heart.Over the years, he has had a love-hate relationship with Shang Qingying, the love is deep, and the hatred is fierce. Every time he opens his mouth to scold her, he is happy, but why doesn't he feel his heart hurt?This ambivalence is lingering, but every time I dream, I often see her shadow.

Gu Zhen was confused, got up and walked a few steps, turned around to look at Lu Jian, showing a hint of helplessness: "I can't say no to you, let me go."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Lu Jian knew that his knot had been resolved, and he was really overjoyed.

They went out side by side, passed through several winding corridors, suddenly heard a woman laughing, turned around the moon gate, and saw Gu Ping'er shuttled among the flowers, flapping a big butterfly with a beautiful pattern with a white silk fan.The face is covered with flowers, and the butterfly wings cover it, making the woman among the flowers even more charming and moving.

Seeing Gu Zhen, Gu Ping'er threw herself into his arms and said softly, "I had a nightmare last night." Gu Zhen smiled and said, "What did you dream about?" Standing by the side, I called them, but they smiled at me, and when I walked forward, they suddenly disappeared."

Gu Zhen was silent for a while, and said softly: "Ping'er, today I will take you to meet someone. When you meet her, you must be obedient." Gu Ping'er said: "Ping'er is obedient, listen to her and you too. " Gu Zhen nodded and said: "Good Pinger, my brother is sorry for you in this life. If there is another life, I will pay you back what I owe you in this life." , out of the mansion, called a carriage, and rushed to Deyi Villa.

Abandoning the horse and getting off the carriage, Yan Weigui was making arrangements in front of the village. When he saw the three of them, he was dumbfounded.Lu Jian asked: "Where is Madam?" Yan Weigui said: "In the mourning hall." Lu Jian said: "Gu Zhen, after you go to the village first, I will invite her to see you."

Gu Zhen smiled and said: "I was never afraid of Shen Cripple when he was alive, but now that he is dead, what am I afraid of? Zhuge Liang hanged Zhou Yu, I don't have the bearing of Kong Ming, but I see the wise and think like him." Come to the mourning hall.

Shang Qingying saw Gu Zhen for the first time, who was originally sitting, and couldn't help but startled. The mother and son looked at the distance from a mourning hall. Life is impermanent.

Gu Zhen lifted up his robe and walked inside.Shang Qingying followed him approaching, trembling slightly.Gu Zhen walked up to her and held her hand, but felt that it was cold and full of sweat.

Shang Qingying's whole body went limp, and her heart turned a lot, years of grievances turned into tears, she couldn't help hugging Gu Zhen tightly, and burst into tears.

Gu Zhen hugged his mother and was silent for a long time, but seeing Shang Qingying crying non-stop, he smiled and said: "Mom, you are dozens of years old, why do you still look like a child?"

Shang Qingying was ashamed when she heard the words, stopped crying and sighed: "Zhener, don't you blame me?" Before Gu Zhen could answer, Lu Jian said first: "He didn't blame him for a long time, but his mouth was always recalcitrant. Gu Zhen gave him a white look, and scolded, "You're the only one who talks too much!"

Shang Qingying lost two husbands in one day, but got back the beloved son she had always dreamed of one after another. It is incredible to lose one gain.Goodbye to this pair of sons, they are handsome in character, harmonious and friendly, and feel that they are leisurely and kind to God.

Knowing her intentions, Gu Zhen stopped smiling, and waited until she finished praying before saying, "Mom, I've come here this time to ask you something." He pulled Gu Ping'er over, "This is Ping'er, Aunt Bai's daughter. You have seen it before. A few days ago, an accident occurred in Tianzhu Mountain, and I lost my mind. I should have taken care of it, but I have a big event to do recently. I don’t know if I will come back. I entrust her to you, please represent I'll take good care of it."

Lu Jian suddenly realized that Gu Zhen came here to admit his mother, and to entrust the funeral.He is against Wan Guizang, and his future life and death are unpredictable, so he plans ahead and prepares for Gu Pinger's home.

Shang Qingying originally wanted mother and child to get to know each other and stay together forever, but Gu Zhen wanted to deal with a life-and-death matter, and seeing Lu Jian's expression, he seemed to be involved.She has experienced parting, life and death, and even though her heart is bitter, she is unwilling to go against the wishes of her sons.She sighed, and hugged Gu Ping'er to ask for her warmth, but seeing her confused and absurd words, she felt very sorry.Gu Ping'er hit it off with her, swept away her naughtiness, showed an air of attachment, and said, "Auntie, you really look like my mother."

Shang Qingying smiled wryly, half of Bai Xiangyao died because of her, she felt guilty, and treated Gu Ping'er even more differently.

While sitting and chatting, Yan Weigui reported: "Mother and Mrs. Tainu come to pay homage!" Lu Jian stood up in surprise, and Shang Qingying hurried out to greet her, only to see Wen Dai and his wife slowly walking, Yao Qing , Xianbi followed behind.When Lu Jian saw Yao Qing, she was confused, her face was flushed, and she faltered, which showed that she was indifferent, and she didn't know where to start.

Wen Dai nodded and smiled at Lu Jian, and greeted Shang Qingying again. The two had met once in the early years, when Shang Qingying had just returned to Shen's house, but this time they met, she was already a widow of Shen Zhouxu.

After entering the mourning hall, everyone in Xicheng was surprised to see Gu Zhen.After the sacrifice, Lu Jian led the crowd into the inner hall, and Gu Zhen also followed.Xianbi couldn't help but said: "Gu Zhen, your father..." Gu Zhen nodded silently.

"Gu Shen is dead!" Xian Tainu sighed.

"The mountain collapsed in a short time, and the sky and the earth tilted. Gu Shentong's death, looking at the world, who can be Wan Guizang's opponent?" Wen Dai also sighed, with a very sad expression on her face.

"Earth Mother is well!" Gu Zhen said with a smile, "You are so afraid of returning to Tibet, do you have a grudge against him?"

Wen Dai smiled wryly, and said: "Before Patriarch Siqin passed away, he made an oath with the eight tribes: 'The master of the western city will be elected by the eight tribes, and will be changed every ten years. If this oath is violated, the eight tribes can fight together'." Yes Most of the city lords in the past dynasties were high-minded and won the hearts of the people. As for martial arts, it was second. But when it came to Wan Guizang, he relied on force to kill the publicly elected city lord Zuo Mengchen and force the eight chiefs to submit. This is a precedent for seizing power by force. As soon as it started, the treacherous evil spirits of various ministries also moved their minds one after another, and practiced certain forbidden techniques at the expense of nature and justice. It's like the Water Ministry practicing the "Water Soul Formation", and if they were discovered, they would report to Wan Guizang, and punish the chief culprit according to the rules of the previous generation That's right, who would have thought that Wan Guizang killed the Shui Department for the sake of establishing prestige, regardless of Qinghong's good or bad. In this way, everyone in the other six departments would be in danger, because they were afraid of "Zhou Liu Liu Xugong" and did not dare to take it seriously how."

"It's just that everyone doesn't say it in their mouths, but they all understand in their hearts that even though the 'Zhouliu Liuxu Gong' is powerful, there is a huge disaster. The reason why the Patriarch Siqin divided the 'Zhouliu Liuxu Gong' into Eight, it's not that I don't want to, but I can't. Because this martial art is very weird, the "circular flow and eight energies" generate and restrain each other. Most of the cultivation methods of the school are public, and any disciple can practice. For 200 years, many disciples have tried to combine the eight strengths, but as long as they practice more than two kinds of inner strength, they will suffer backlash immediately. Either water and fire will fry each other, or wind and thunder will strike each other. Either the heavens and the earth will be reversed, and the results will be extremely miserable. Before Wan Guizang, only one patriarch Yanran cultivated the four strengths of 'mountain, lake, water, and wind', but when he was practicing the 'circular current power', he accidentally attracted Heavenly thunder, turned into flying ash."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, and Gu Zhen couldn't help asking: "Did the Patriarch Siqin not leave behind the mental method of controlling the Eight Powers?" Wen Dai said: "I did." ?” Wen Dai sighed: “It’s as if I didn’t keep this mentality, because from the beginning to the end, there is only one word.” Gu Zhen wondered: “What word?” Wen Dai let out a long breath and said: “Xie!”

"I will strike anyone who is discordant!" Lu Jian blurted out.

"That's right!" Wen Dai glanced at him and nodded, "It's exactly the word 'harmony'! Since ancient times, many masters of West City have thought about this word 'harmony', but most of them got nothing. They don't know where to go What kind of method was used to break through the mystery of the word "harmony" and refine it into "Zhouliubajin". At the beginning of being the city lord, he used ruthless tactics, but he had a calm and impeccable aura throughout his body, which made people hate him But the more he kills, the more eccentric his temperament becomes. Sometimes he is calm and gentle, sometimes he is cruel and cruel, and he is like two people. The most frightening thing is his ambition. At first, he summoned his followers, He fought under the banner of 'Destroy Dongdao'. After defeating Dongdao, he was not satisfied with it. He ordered the Ministry of Fire to build large-scale firearms, and restrained all ministries with the art of war. The way of heaven is impermanent, and the surname Zhu has been sitting for so many years, so he should give it to others." He also said: "Dongdao is a family hatred, but the grievance between Patriarch Siqin and Emperor Hongwu is a national enmity. In the end, how can we disciples of the younger generation do nothing?'"

"Good guy!" Gu Zhen clapped his hands lightly, "The old man really wants to be emperor!"

"Who is the old man?" Wendy couldn't help asking.

Gu Zhen smiled and said: "It's hard to say, Mother Earth please continue!"

Wen Dai nodded and said: "When Wan Guizang said that, everyone panicked, but who would dare to stand up when the Ministry of Water came to an end? But in that year, an accident happened, Monk Yu wrote a letter of war to Wan Guizang, Invited him to go to Tianzhu Mountain for a showdown. Although Wan Guizang won, after returning to the mountain, things started to go wrong. He often looked distressed and twitched all over the meeting. At that time, except for Shen Zhouxu, the heads of the six ministries were present, and everyone noticed , didn’t make a sound, just asked my heart, I don’t want Wan Guizang to get angry and drive me out of the throwing pillow hall. Not long after, he joined his tribe and swore to conquer the East, saying that he would wipe out the East in one fell swoop. But just after finishing this sentence, he suddenly fell to the ground, holding his head in his hands, and went into an epileptic seizure. Seeing that he had committed a catastrophe, the masters of the six tribes all unanimously performed the stunts of their lives. Wan Guizang had no time to resist , was beaten to pieces..."

"Huh!" Lu Jian exclaimed, "So he's still alive?" Yao Qing snorted coldly, rolled a blank look at Lu Jian, with a look of contempt on her face.

Wen Dai also smiled wryly and said: "You Daoist Lu's words are wrong! Now it seems that this matter is Wan Guizang's scheme from the beginning to the end. He has already calculated that the catastrophe is coming, and he knows that the various ministries in the West City seem to submit. Jealousy. When the catastrophe really happened, he would not be able to escape even if he went to heaven or earth. So after much deliberation, he came up with a way to win in a dangerous situation."

"Before the catastrophe happened, he buried a corpse with the same appearance and clothes as himself under his feet, pretending that the catastrophe was happening, and lured all the masters to besiege him. At that time, he still had supernatural powers. While flying sand and rocks, he used clever means to guide all the supernatural powers to the corpse, but he himself took advantage of the chaos and escaped, and since then he has lived in seclusion in the mountains, and can deal with the catastrophe with peace of mind."

"When all the ministries saw the pieces of clothes and the remains of flesh and blood, they all thought that this catastrophe was caused by their own hands. While they were happy, they didn't think about the mystery behind it. It was also for this reason that Wan Guizang used the excuse of monitoring Dongdao to prevent Junior Brother Shen Participating in the party, Junior Brother Shen is his confidant, and he is very smart. Once he knows that the catastrophe of Wan Guizang is about to happen, he will do everything possible to prevent us. In this way, it will not be easy for Wan Guizang to want to 'die'. But because of this The flaw aroused the suspicion of Master Shan and Ze. The two juniors grew up with Wan Guizang and knew his temperament well. They only felt that his death was too easy, which was not in line with his usual behavior. Once they became suspicious, Just try to find out all over the world..." Speaking of this, thinking of the failure of the two of them, I couldn't help showing a trace of resentment.

Lu Jian felt remorse again, and sighed, "It's all my fault for letting him out." Wen Dai sighed, "It's not all your fault, Wan Guizang treats people well, and when you see his gentle appearance, there are nine out of ten Treat him as a good person." When she said this, thinking of the unpredictable future, she felt overwhelmed, Xian Tainu held her hand and said softly: "It's a disaster that can't be avoided, and it's useless to worry about it. You and I have lived to this age. That's enough, Wan Guizang has to settle the old score, we will give him our lives."

These words were very discouraging, and Yao Qing felt depressed when she heard them. She devoted herself to collecting portraits, and originally wanted to practice supernatural powers and rule the West City.Now that Wan Guizang is out, how can it be her turn to show off her prestige?
Suddenly Gu Zhen laughed and said: "Everyone, don't worry, Wan Gui Zang is powerful, but it is not invincible." Everyone said in unison: "What can you do?" Gu Zhen said: "Does Wan Gui Zang count?" The world is invincible?" Wen Dai said: "That's needless to say?" Gu Zhen said: "Wan Guizang is invincible in the world, there is one thing that is also invincible in the world." Wen Dai was stunned for a moment, then hesitated: "You said 'eight images in one' ?” Gu Zhen said with a smile: “Yes, invincible against invincible, maybe there is a small chance of winning!” He turned his eyes and stared at Yao Qing with a smile.Yao Qing felt something was wrong, and spat: "Stinky fox, what the hell are you planning?" Gu Zhen clasped his hands and said with a smile, "Beautiful Yao, I hope you can teach me the secret language of the seven portraits!"

Yao Qing's face turned pale and then red, staring at Gu Zhen, wishing she could sew his mouth shut with a needle and thread.Gu Zhen didn't know how to live or die, and said with a playful smile: "Patriarch's eight pictures, you get seven, and add the secret language of Tianbu, and the eight pictures can be combined into one." Yao Qing said coldly: "I don't have the secret language of Tianbu!"

Gu Zhen smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about this!" Xiang Lu Jian spread his hands, "Give me the jade hairpin!" Lu Jian handed over the white jade hairpin, and Gu Zhen took it and twisted it. The jade hairpin was split into two, and the inside was actually hollow. Gu Zhen shook out a small paper scroll and said with a smile: "Did you see it? There is no portrait in the Ministry of Heaven. This secret word is hidden in the jade hairpin!"

Yao Qing was full of remorse, she had preconceived ideas, she just wanted the portrait to be a big scroll, and it must be placed with the books, so after Shen Zhouxu's death, she sneaked into Deyi Villa, searched the study room, but couldn't find the portrait.She never expected that Shen Zhouxu had already deciphered the secret language, cut it from the painting, made it bigger and smaller, hid it in a hollow white jade hairpin, and passed it to Lu Jian before he died.If she had known, she could just ask Lu Jian for it, but this fool would not dare not give it.As a result, the chess missed a move, and the stinky fox took the initiative again.

She was pale and extremely depressed, but Gu Zhen urged with a smile: "Beautiful Yao, I'm just waiting for you!" Yao Qing said angrily, "What are you waiting for? You exchange one for seven, which is a good idea!" Gu Zhen laughed He said: "You can't say that. It's like fishing. Do you think the fish is big, or the bait is big? The bait is small, but it can catch big whales!"

"Bah!" Yao Qing spat, "Hold your bait and let it stink!" Gu Zhen snorted and said with a smile, "You don't want to combine the eight pictures into one? Forget it, I'll tear up this piece of paper." As soon as the paper scroll is crumpled, it looks like it will be torn.

Everyone in Xicheng yelled in unison, Wen Dai glared at Yao Qing: "Girl Qing, don't be naughty, Batu secret language is a relic of the ancestor Siqin, don't destroy it in our hands."
