Two treasure maps

Chapter 178 Death of Guo Jingchuan

Under the bright moonlight, Le Xiaoyao lay quietly on the roof tiles, like an elegant night cat.

His ears were sensitive to every slight sound coming from the room, and he heard the conversation between the fake Guo Lingli and Zheng Yan.

His eyes flickered in the moonlight, and a hint of surprise flashed across them.

Guo Pu compass?

He quickly made a judgment: Guo Jingchuan might be facing an unavoidable catastrophe.

Le Xiaoyao fell into deep thought, his fingers tapping lightly on his legs, hesitating in his heart: should he lend a helping hand, or just wait and see?

At the same time, Guo Lingli and Yin Jing also heard the conversation between the two people outside the room.

After returning to the wooden house in the Orchard, Yin Jing couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do you know who the Jade Girl Zi Yan they mentioned is?"

“Of course I know, she was once the Jade Maiden of Taiji Palace, and she harbored ill will towards me because of the twin formation within her family.

He also threw me into the Gangfeng Well, but later I climbed out of it.

She was punished by the Taiji Palace and is no longer the Jade Maiden of the Taiji Palace," Guo Lingli recalled.

Yin Jing frowned: "So, she wanted to harm you, and in the end she was punished, and she also transferred her resentment to you?"

Guo Lingli nodded, with a hint of helplessness on her face: "Yes, this person's values ​​are not right."

Yin Jing didn't know what Guo Lingli meant by the three views, but he decided not to dwell on it. He said to Guo Lingli seriously, "Forget about them. Let's practice the "Spring Breeze" in the Spring Breeze Technique first."

Therefore, Yin Jing began to teach Guo Lingli the moves of Spring Blowing Fan seriously, and asked her to practice with the newly refined plum blossom fan. Guo Lingli also devoted herself to the practice. She knew that there would be a greater crisis at home, so she had to become stronger to better protect her family.

Half a month later, Guo Lingli finally mastered the use of the plum blossom fan. She could turn the plum blossom petals in the fan into plum blossom rain, which fell from the sky. Although this plum blossom rain had no lethality, she added some medicinal powder to the plum blossom stamens, making this plum blossom rain barely have the power to fight.

When she and Yin Jing came out of confinement, they happened to see the scene where Dongfang Xiantong was about to execute the fake Guo Lingli.

It turned out that something big happened in the Dongfang Palace during this half month.

The fake Guo Lingli not only rescued the girl with the aperture who was punished by the Green Lion Buddha, but also killed Guo Jingchuan, a disciple of the Fire Protector.

At this moment, she was tied to a stone pillar in the square, about to be struck by forty-nine heavenly thunders.

Guo Lingli stood in the crowd, staring closely at the person who was about to be executed.

Her nose twitched slightly, as if she was smelling the air.

She whispered to the silver mirror, "This person is fake. He is not the one we met."

Yin Jing was shocked when he heard that. He could recognize them because he was not from this level. He had his own way of identifying these cultivators whose essence would not change no matter how they changed.

But he didn't expect that Guo Lingli could also tell the real from the fake.

He turned to look at Guo Lingli, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze: "Then, can you identify who she is?"

Guo Lingli's eyes wandered over the woman who was about to be punished, and he said thoughtfully, "It's Zhengyan."

Silver Mirror also whispered, "I guess it's her too."

Next to them was an old man with gray hair and an expression of unspeakable sorrow.

The two men had just come out of seclusion and knew nothing about the old man's identity, otherwise, they would never discuss the matter so casually in front of him.

The old man listened to their conversation quietly, his eyes flashing with a trace of calculation. He asked calmly in a low voice: "Excuse me, young friend, isn't it Guo Lingli who was punished?"

Yin Jing glanced at him and frowned slightly. Guo Lingli's reputation was completely ruined by the fake Guo Lingli.

"The one who killed someone was not the real Guo Lingli." He said coldly.

Upon hearing this, the old man gently placed his hand on his chest and said in a trembling voice, "How could it not be Guo Lingli who killed someone?"

Guo Lingli looked at the old man's painful expression and felt a little sorry for him. She explained, "The murderer Guo Lingli is fake. She is just a fake. But I really don't understand why she would do such a cruel thing."

The old man sighed and said in a heavy voice: "She did it for the Guo Pu compass."

Guo Lingli was shocked. "Could it be that Guo Jingchuan has the Guo Pu compass?"

The old man nodded.

Guo Lingli recalled the conversation between the fake Guo Lingli and Zheng Yan.

The fake Guo Lingli had known Guo Jingchuan for four years and had never shown the slightest interest in Guo Pu's compass. Unexpectedly, now, she actually wanted to kill Guo Jingchuan just because of Zheng Yan's few words.

She sighed in her heart: Was the relationship between the senior and junior brothers and sisters for four years all fake? How could the fake Guo Lingli do such a thing?

On second thought, could it be that Zheng Yan was the one who actually did it? It was not impossible. She still wanted to believe in the goodness of human nature.

"It seems that it is not unfair for Zheng Yan to be punished by thunder." She murmured to herself.

Yin Jing noticed that the old man he was talking to seemed to be trembling slightly. He asked, "Excuse me, who are you..."

The old man bowed deeply, his voice respectful and sorrowful: "I am Guo Xinghai, the grandfather of Guo Jingchuan, from the lower world.

Someone sent a message to my family saying Jingchuan was in danger and asked us to find a way to bring him back.

But we arrived too late and only saw his body."

Although Guo Lingli didn't know much about the situation, Silver Mirror knew that it was almost impossible to ascend from the lower realm in half a month.

He asked curiously, "Which country are you from? What kind of passage did you take to ascend to this place in just half a month?"

Guo Xinghai sighed inwardly: My whereabouts were actually seen through by this young man. It seems that I have to be more careful next time.

He said frankly: "There is nothing to hide. I am from the Shu Kingdom in the Second Heaven. I came to the Third Heaven with the help of the power of Xiuguo to bring my grandson Jingchuan home."

Guo Lingli's heart moved when she heard this. She suddenly thought of something and asked, "Did Guo Jingchuan ascend to the heavens through normal means?"

Guo Xinghai shook his head: "No, he followed Master to the Third Heaven."

Guo Lingli continued to ask: "Then have you asked his master for an explanation?"

Yin Jing frowned, and he coughed lightly, interrupting Guo Lingli's questioning: "Sister Mei, you are meddling too much."

Guo Xinghai sighed and said in a deep voice: "The road to immortal cultivation is full of difficulties and obstacles. Immortal cultivation is a gamble. He has fulfilled his duty of delivering the message.

As for whether our family has the power to rescue our descendants, it depends on our strength and luck, and we can't blame others for the rest."

Guo Lingli looked at the old man's departing back, and an inexplicable emotion welled up in his heart: the path of cultivating immortals is like a suicidal gamble.

Only those with background and strength can win in this gamble.

Those who have no opportunity or background should not choose this path.

I think of everyone's joke about "Journey to the West": all the fairies with backgrounds were taken away, and the fairies killed on the journey to the West were fairies without backgrounds. This can also be applied to the path of cultivating immortals.
