Before the strange face could speak, Zheng Ming was a little surprised: "This is strange... In my impression, Confucian gentlemen rarely come to such a dirty place... After all, the atmosphere here is different from the
Their beliefs are incompatible with each other..."
"……How did you know?"
The strange face pondered for a few seconds, and finally said quietly: "I no longer have the aura of Confucianism in me."
"indeed……"
Su Wen nodded. No matter from the strange face or Yang Kang, he did not detect the aura of the Confucian approach.
"I have a friend... whose surname is Tao, and her father is a Confucian transcendent..."
"It is true that there are not many people named Tao, but my age is beyond your imagination. How can a friend of yours, a little boy, have anything to do with me..."
"My friend's name is Taoyao."
Su Wen said neatly: "Her father is the great Confucian scholar Gauguin. It is said that he disappeared five hundred years ago."
"...Taoyao...Yaoyao?!"
The strange face suddenly became distorted, and his facial features almost flew out of the tree trunk. He said loudly: "What happened to Yaoyao?!"
"……really!"
Su Wen took a breath and thought to himself, the world is really small, and the person trapped in the Grimace Tree... is really Peach Gauguin!
"Mr. Tao... don't be too excited, Tao Yao is fine now."
Su Wen waved his hand, his strange face immediately calmed down, and after the branches trembled for a while, he let out a long sigh and said: "Yes, I am Tao Gaoguin... Let's not mention this for now, tell me about Yaoyao... She
Has the problem of out-of-control been solved?... It turns out that five hundred years have passed..." At the end, Tao Gauguin's voice was deep and painful.
"She is very good. She is now at Qingshan Academy...a Confucian academy, headed by Qian Haoran, who specializes in your annotation of Mencius."
Su Wen first talked about Tao Yao's situation, and after appeasing Tao Gaoguin's mood, he started from the time when he met Tao Yao in Ling Prison, and talked about Tao Yao's current situation.
"Just get it under control...just..."
Tao Gaogen heard that Tao Yao had lost control at the cost of falling a level, from sequence five to sequence four. For Tao Gaogen, this was not a bad thing. Back then, he also thought of using this method to help
Taoyao lost control, but she didn't have enough ability.
It was precisely because of this that he took a desperate risk and took the risk of being promoted to Confucian Sequence Six. However, he was tricked by Wenling Palace into the ruins. In the end, he could only cling to the Grimace Tree and survive to this day.
"Senior...how did you become like this?"
Su Wen was also very interested in what happened to Tao Gauguin.
"Boy... what is your relationship with my daughter? Why did she live in your house and save you several times... Do you have some inappropriate thoughts about my daughter... She is only fourteen years old and innocent.
She's easily deceived, if you dare to have any inappropriate thoughts about her, I can't beat you to death!"
"..."
Hearing Tao Gauguin's vigilant words, Su Wen couldn't help but smile. He didn't bother to refute the other words, and just pointed out a trivial mistake made by Tao Gauguin: "Senior... you are underestimating it by five hundred years... Taoyao actually
Over five hundred years old."
"Hey! Can the five hundred years trapped in the spiritual prison be counted? Of course not!... What do you mean by this? Do you think you dislike my husband and my daughter for being old? You bastards, heartless people, wait for me to free my hand and slap you.
Shoot you to death!"
"Stop, stop, stop!" Su Wen waved his hands repeatedly: "Taoyao and I are really just friends, good friends!"
Su Wen couldn't argue, and finally he had to say: "When you leave this place, wouldn't it be nice to go back and ask Tao Yao?"
"Hmph..."
Tao Gaogeng snorted arrogantly, and then let out another long sigh.
If he could leave this place, he would have left long ago.
"This is not easy..." Tao Gaogeng said sadly: "Actually, it is not difficult to leave. As long as I give up the path of a saint and am willing to be a Sequence Six who does not violate the rules, I can easily escape... This is not impossible.
After all, even if everything goes smoothly on the Saint’s Way, it is natural that I will never be able to touch it for the rest of my life..."
"Then why...?"
Su Wen asked in confusion.
"Do you know why this is just a projection of the abyss, not an abyss?"
Tao Gaogeng said lightly.
"Because the power of the abyss cannot completely break through the space barrier?"
Su Wen asked.
"It's true that the words are rough but not rough. It can indeed be understood this way, but why do you think it is like this?"
"Because there are seniors?"
Su Wen said another tentative sentence.
"Children can be taught."
Tao Gaogeng said calmly: "Back then, Ying Tianchang deceived me into this place and made me make a dilemma. One was to use myself as a barrier to prevent the power of the abyss from penetrating into reality. The other was to ignore it and let it collapse. In the end,
The whole world was swallowed up by the abyss."
Zheng Ming was in awe and said in a deep voice: "What a great decision..."
"Senior...you chose the first one now?"
"if not?"
Tao Gaogen said with a deep voice: "We can't let billions of people be swallowed by the abyss. Even extraordinary people can't live in such a place. Ordinary people will transform into monsters if they are contaminated by the filthy smell of the abyss. How do I choose?
!”
Zheng Ming looked at the Grimace Tree with an even more solemn gaze, and said repeatedly: "Senior is indeed a great Confucian sage and a saint."
But Su Wen hesitated to speak. After a while, he finally plucked up the courage and said: "Senior, I think... you have been deceived."
"What?!"
Zheng Ming looked at Su Wen blankly.
The eyes on the Grimace Tree suddenly became sharp, and he looked at Su Wen: "Oh? How come you were deceived?!"
"first……"
Su Wen sighed and said: "It was Ying Tianchang who brought you here... I am not biased against him, but I feel that every word he said cannot be believed. This guy is too bad and too dark...
Ahem, let's get back to the topic." Su Wen paused and said: "If the abyss projection can become the abyss reality at any time, how could Wenling Palace not think of a way to solve it? It is unlikely that there is only one way to take you away.
Throw it here... They should have quite a few Sequence Six extraordinary beings. I once heard that the master of Wenling Hall is even a Sequence Seven, saint-level existence."
"That makes sense..."
Tao Gaogeng snorted coldly: "But the situation was indeed critical at that time. I once saw the cracks in the abyss opening, and the projection might become reality..."
"Then we have to talk about Ghost Island itself."
Su Wen said: "I got the news from Dagon. In addition, I am also an extraordinary person in the historian path. Although the recorder of sequence one has average power, he can read a lot of mysterious knowledge... All the knowledge can be understood when combined.
The Ghost Island was transformed into a strange beast from the ancient times. This strange beast may come from the abyss, or it may come from the starry sky. It just has the attribute of the abyss, and its power has reached the title of "ultimate". After destroying this place, the power has corroded this place.
The place formed the place of return to ruins, and the ghost island was transformed into the remnant souls of alien beasts, and even simulated an abyssal world, which is the projection of the abyss we are currently in."
"I see……"
Naturally, the knowledge Su Wen acquired was not so complete. He integrated it through his own reasoning and imagination.
Tao Gaoguang has richer mysterious knowledge. After being trapped here for many years, his understanding of the abyss projection is naturally more profound. If he had not been misled by Ying Tianchang from the beginning, he would have been able to find out the truth of the matter himself.
After listening to Su Wen's words, he naturally understood that more than 90% of Su Wen's words were true.
"God damn Ying Tianchang...he wants to suppress me here!"
"...Yes, that should be the case."
Su Wen responded, but this time, he didn't make any comment.
I can't comment on this matter. I can't say it senior. As long as you pay attention, you won't fall for Ying Tianchang's evil deception. Not only were you deceived, but you were also deceived for five hundred years. If someone hadn't reminded you, you would still be trapped in this trap.
Here...
Su Wen knew clearly that if he was really so upright, he would be dead and Taoyao would not be able to protect him.
"I can! Hear! Hear!!"
Tao Gaoguang suddenly said viciously.
Su Wen was suddenly startled. Then he remembered that Tao Gao could hear part of his heart.
"Senior, don't blame me for losing my temper for a moment, don't blame me!"
Su Wen apologized profusely.
Tao Gaogen did not speak, and the facial features on the tree trunk were expressionless, as if they had turned into a statue.
"senior?"
Su Wen asked again.
Peach Gauguin still ignored him.
Maybe my mood was too complicated and I didn't have the face to reply to Su Wen's words for a while.
Su Wen could only wait.
"Ying Tianchang...where is this guy?"
After a long silence, Tao Gaoguin finally spoke: "I really miss him, so much!"
"If I go back to senior, he is on Ghost Island... he was chasing me before... and there is a newly promoted Sequence Six Su Muzhe."
"He's after you?"
Tao Gaogeng didn't understand anymore: "It's just you... and you still want to chase me?"
Su Wen felt that there was no way to continue the conversation.
But he still patiently told the story of his grievances with Ying Tianchang.
"What?! When he was catching you, he even injured my Yaoyao! What a bastard! He's dead, as I said, even that old lady from Wenling Hall can't save him!"
Only then did Su Wen realize that Tao Gaoguang's focus was different from what he had imagined.
But this is reasonable. After all, the relationship is between father and daughter. If Tao Gaogeng reacted indifferently, Su Wen would suspect that Taoyao was picked up. After all, who would put his daughter in a spiritual prison?
Five hundred years...
"It was out of necessity! My father never thought he would be detained for so long!"
Ouch! Su Wen quickly calmed down, and his voice was heard again.
"Senior, how can you get out of here?"
Su Wen decisively moved to a pragmatic question: "Since you understand that the abyss projection will not turn into an abyss, there should be a way to leave this place, right?"
"Of course there is..."
Tao Gaogeng responded: "It's just not easy to handle. I might have to aggrieve one of you..."
"Why is this?"
Su Wen's heart tightened.
"The Ghostface Tree I am possessing is the ancestor of the Ghostface Tree. Once it accommodates one person, it must be replaced by another person... Young man, I see you have amazing bones, do you want to take my place?"
The two big eyes on the tree were shining green and locked on Su Wen's position.
