With the help of Su Wen and Zhong Zheng, Nangong barely controlled Wang Cifu's power, but these dark and dirty forces also used him as a container, corroding his body and also his soul.
Once it is not controlled properly, Nangong's fall into darkness will be inevitable.
In the past, the internal factory has rich experience in dealing with such things.
To deal with people contaminated by dark power, the internal factory will first evaluate the capabilities and costs. If the cost is too high, it will usually directly eradicate the polluting person or object, extract the dark power, and try to destroy it.
But if the value of some characters is too high, a more moderate attitude needs to be adopted.
Nangong falls into this category.
The inner factory will definitely save Nangong at all costs. If all efforts fail, then Nangong's final destination can only be a special place in the spiritual prison, and it is impossible for Nangong to die.
Zhong Zheng sent the message with a written seal, then fell silent and stopped talking to Nangong.
Nangong wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhong Zheng.
At this time, Nangong needs more to restrain his mind and fight against the dark force corroding his soul.
"Your Majesty has a decree."
Not long after, Zhong Zheng picked up the seal, took a look at it and said, "His Majesty summons you and Su Wen to the palace to meet the saint."
Having said this, Zhong Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Old Taishi will come in person and take you into the palace. With Qu Tanmo here, at least your injuries will not worsen in a short period of time."
"It won't get worse."
Nangong also calmed down at this time and said calmly: "But it's the same when he comes. There are only two roads waiting in front of me... It's not easy to choose."
"This is not something you and I can choose. It depends on His Majesty's decision." Zhong Zheng frowned.
"any idea?"
Su Wen asked curiously: "Since there is a way, of course it is to choose the best solution. If you are undecided, you might as well speak up and let's go over the details together?"
Nangong smiled brightly and said: "You can think of it without me telling you... The first way is to use my extraordinary power to offset the dark power in my body. In this way, the dark power can be neutralized. But in this way, My level of power will also be lost, and I will probably become a weak person with no power. The chance of becoming an extraordinary person again is very slim. What is certain is that it is impossible to return to the current state. .”
"You can still laugh!" Zhong Zheng glanced at Nangong, with an angry look on his face. However, the anger quickly disappeared and was replaced by deep worry.
"What about the second one?"
After listening to Nangong's words, Su Wen realized that Nangong would never choose such an approach.
Nangong is such a heroic figure. It is impossible for him who once made all the changes to change into an ordinary old man who is old and has no power.
"The second one is also very simple...that is to actively embrace this dark power, change the original extraordinary path, and become an extraordinary person of the dark path."
Su Wen's heart sank and he asked cautiously: "The evil ghost's path?"
He could see that the reason why Wang Cifu became so crazed and crazy was necessarily related to his path. If Nangong turned to the evil ghost path, his character would definitely be affected, and it was hard to say what he would be like in the end.
And there is a fundamental difference between Nangong and Wang Cifu.
After all, Wang Cifu is just Wang Cizhi's book boy, butler, etc. His vision and abilities are very limited. He has such power, but the influence he exerts is very limited.
But Nangong is different. The identity, experience and resources of the big stall owner in the inner factory are not comparable to that of Wang Cifu. Once he is controlled by the dark power and wants to do something bad, the negative impact it can cause will be greater than that of ten Wang Cifu.
Not comparable.
"Of course not...the evil ghost path is just one of the dark paths, and it is a dirty, disgusting one."
Nangong replied and continued: "These dirty powers can be transformed into relatively high-level and pure dark powers, and the negative effects will not be too serious."
Hearing this, Su Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
In his impression, Nan Gezi was an extraordinary person of the dark path.
But Nan Gezi is the deputy master of Wenling Palace and holds a high position, which shows that Wenling Palace and the hundreds of extraordinary people also recognize this kind of dark path and do not regard it as evil.
If Nangong could make his power similar to that of Nan Gezi, it would not be unacceptable.
"Nangong, come out!"
Just when Su Wen breathed a sigh of relief, a rather childish voice sounded outside the villa.
"Who is so rude?"
Su Wen was slightly startled.
He really couldn't believe that besides Zhong Zheng, anyone else dared to call Nangong by his first name.
"Qu Tan Mo?"
Relating to what Zhong Zheng said before, and thinking about the identity of the person who dared to call Nangong by his name, it was not difficult for Su Wen to guess the identity of the person coming.
"And Su Wen, Your Majesty has also summoned you."
The childish voice sounded again.
Su Wen could tell that Qu Tanmo was very rude to Nangong, but his attitude towards him was much gentler.
"Hmph, old boy, I'm walking around, you come in and give me a hand!"
Nangong's nostrils turned upward.
"Let your wife help you! You are a manly man, but you have become a henpecker. You have already disgraced the internal factory... Even my internal history office has been implicated, and Feng Ping has been harmed!"
"..."
Su Wen twitched the corner of his mouth, lowered his head, and looked at the expressions of Nangong and Zhong Zheng from the corner of his eyebrows.
Nangong still kept his nostrils turned upward, but Zhong Zheng's face turned gloomy.
"Qu Tanmo, if you don't like me and my husband, go and tell His Majesty and we will be divorced! Do you really think that I won't dare to beat you when you criticize me in front of me?"
Su Wen quietly looked at the people around him, but he saw that all the barbarian soldiers and others looked blank, or pretended to have a lot of work to do, and were busy in a haphazard manner, but no one dared to say anything.
Su Wen also looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, without interrupting.
"You have to take care of your own husband. My old man has poor legs and feet, but I don't have the strength to drag him out."
Qu Tanmo made a proud sound.
But listening to this tone, Su Wen knew that Qu Tanmo was still timid.
He couldn't help but be curious about what kind of existence Zhong Zheng was in the inner factory and the inner history museum.
But there is no doubt that Zhong Zheng is the top leader of the inner factory, and the inner factory is only an organization within Zhong Zheng's jurisdiction.
"Ah……"
This time, Zhong Zheng no longer paid attention to Qu Tanmo's nonsense, picked up Nangong and walked out.
Su Wen followed closely and stopped after taking a few steps.
The barbarian soldier quickly waved his hand and said that he would personally keep an eye on the Robe of Order that was tumbling in the boiling water, wait until it had been boiled for twelve hours, then put it away and take it back to Su Wen.
Su Wen felt relieved and emphasized once again that he must not touch this thing in advance. If a strong enemy captures it, he can ignore it and let it be taken away.
After all, whoever triggers the taboo of the Robe of Order in advance will only die.
A carriage pulled by four divine horses has stopped at the entrance of the villa.
Su Wen could clearly see that these four sacred horses were dragon horses with double horns on their heads.
This is a truly exotic beast. It was born in the quicksand land three thousand miles west of the thirty-six countries in the Western Region. It is very precious and extremely difficult to tame.
According to the etiquette system of the Liang Dynasty, only the emperor would ride a thin ceremonial guard drawn by nine dragons when offering sacrifices to heaven and earth and ancestors.
In addition to the emperor, only those who are ranked among the three princes are qualified to ride in Longma's chariot.
Taishi is an exception between the two.
Taishi usually used four dragon horses to draw his carriage, but Sangong only had three horses.
This is a common practice in various countries. In addition to highlighting the status of the historian, the more important point is that the dragon and horse are tamed by the extraordinary people of the historian path, and only the extraordinary people of the historian path go deep into the quicksand and bring back the dragon horse.
"Hey, the situation is a bit serious."
Qu Tanmo, who was leaning against the car, couldn't help but frown when he saw Nangong's appearance. But judging by his tone, the situation was actually better than he imagined.
After all, Nangong was still rational at this time and showed no signs of losing control.
This was hundreds of times better than the worst situation he thought before setting off.
"Are you Su Wen?"
Qu Tanmo's eyes fell on Su Wen, and his tone was filled with relief.
Su Wenzuo bowed and nodded.
He was also looking at Qu Tanmo.
Qu Tanmo was actually a barbarian with fair skin, blue eyes, a high nose, and tawny hair.
Su Wen also discovered that Qu Tanmo had an immature face and was only 1.23 meters tall, like a child.
"It's a student who has met Tai Shiling."
Su Wen answered appropriately.
"Get in the car, His Majesty is waiting for you."
Qu Tanmo didn't say much, but took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and hung it on Nangong's collar. He said: "It's nothing. I'll discuss a countermeasure after meeting with Your Majesty. It won't be a problem."
"That's good."
Nangong breathed a sigh of relief.
With Qu Tanmo's assurance, he knew that he would not encounter too much trouble, at least there was no need to prepare for the worst.
"Snapped!"
Qu Tanmo suddenly threw a thick book in front of Nangong: "Here are records of seventy-two dark paths. Choose one yourself, so as not to bring him back to His Majesty for questioning. You are in a hurry and it is difficult to choose.
.”
"..."
Looking at the thick book that was almost as tall as Qu Tanmo, not only Nangong but also Su Wen had black lines all over his head and didn't know what to say.
But Nangong didn't say anything, but silently opened the catalog and started browsing.
"You should also take a look and gain some insights."
Qu Tanmo smiled slightly at Su Wen and said, "You can't see this anywhere else. Neither Jingchu nor Beiyan has collected it as neatly as we have."
"Thank you Tai Shi Ling."
Su Wen thanked him profusely.
"Why are you being polite to him? His position may be yours in the future. Now let you see this, so that you can occupy his position earlier, so that he can be free and happy."
Nangong rolled his eyes.
"If you talk too much, don't blame me for recommending those avenues to His Majesty..."
